Chapter 124: Entering Beijing Together
Ling Muyun naturally didn't know about Mao Eighteen's belly, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Mao 18 is just a passerby in his eyes, so why should he pay attention to the mind of a passer-by?
After leaving the shop, the group of four went all the way north, and arrived at a county town in the evening. Everyone found an inn to live in, and Ling Muyun asked Bai Hansong, "Brother Bai, are you proficient in the art of Soma?" ”
"I can't talk about being proficient, but I only know a little bit about it, I don't know what Brother Ling means by this?"
"You have also seen my mount, Brother Bai, it is really useless, so I am going to go to the town to buy another one, but I don't know anything about the art of Soma, so I want to ask Brother Bai if he knows anything about this, lest I be deceived by the Annihilation Merchants again!" Ling Muyun said with a depressed face.
"I see, no wonder. I'm still wondering how Brother Ling is a well-dressed and talented person, and he doesn't look like a person who is short of money, how could he ride such a horse, it turned out that he was deceived by the merchants! Bai Hansong laughed, and then said: "But speaking of which, I still have to thank that annihilation merchant, otherwise how can I get acquainted with a young man like Brother Ling?" ”
The little county lord Mu Jianping couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, because she was bullied as soon as she met Ling Muyun, so Ling Muyun was the kind of image similar to the "big villain" in her heart, but now that she heard that this big villain was also deceived, Mu Jianping couldn't help but want to laugh when she was surprised.
Ling Muyun spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit that this matter is a bit embarrassing, but it is worth it to be able to smile." ”
When Mu Jianping heard Ling Muyun say this, he immediately lowered his head shyly.
Bai Hansong looked at Ling Muyun with a smile and joked with Mu Jianping, he is also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, his heart is bright, he has long seen that Ling Muyun is mostly interested in his own little county lord, and looking at the performance of his own little county lord, I am afraid that Ling Muyun is not without the slightest feeling, but he has no intention of stopping it, and is even happy to see it.
Bai Hansong knew that they still called themselves Yunnan Muwangfu to the outside world, and most of the friends in the rivers and lakes respected them, but Muwangfu was not the original Muwangfu after all. Although they themselves don't want to admit it, in fact, the Mu family has actually become a family of rivers and lakes to a certain extent, and they are no longer restored princes and nobles. If it was when the former Ming Dynasty was not dead, a person like Ling Muyun in the rivers and lakes, no matter how high his martial arts were, he would not want to get married to Mu Wangfu. But now that Mu Wangfu has also fallen into the rivers and lakes, if he can get such a strong reinforcement as Ling Muyun, he can't ask for it, so he will turn a deaf ear to the ambiguity between Ling Muyun and Mu Jianping.
Seeing that Mu Jianping was too shy to speak, Ling Muyun stopped teasing her, and instead asked Bai Hansong: "Since Brother Bai knows the art of Soma, then I will trouble Brother Bai to accompany me on a trip, lest I be slaughtered as a sheep again." ”
"Okay, then I'll accompany Brother Ling on a trip. Little county lord, are you going too? ”
Mu Jianping tapped his head, but did not speak.
At the moment, only the coachman was left to guard in the inn, and Ling Muyun, Bai Hansong and Mu Jianping walked out of the inn together. Ling Muyun also brought his jujube red horse with him, and it was useless to keep such a horse, so Ling Muyun wanted to sell it by the way, so as not to be an eyesore.
The county they went to was not big, so the three of them inquired with passers-by, and it was easy to find a place to sell horses in the market, under the help of Bai Hansong, Ling Muyun spent another hundred taels of silver to buy a yellow horse, as for the jujube red horse, he was disposed of by him at the price of ten taels of cabbage to the horse seller, although he lost ninety taels of silver after coming and going, but he was able to dispose of the eye-catching livestock, Ling Muyun still felt a lot more happy.
After buying the horse, the three of them did not immediately return to the inn, but decided to go shopping and then go back at Ling Muyun's suggestion. In fact, Ling Muyun himself didn't have much interest in shopping, mainly because he saw that Mu Jianping seemed to be interested, but he was shy and reluctant to say, so he made this proposal.
Sure enough, when she heard that she was going shopping, Mu Jianping's mood suddenly became a little excited, she grew up in Yunnan since she was a child, and she had never been far away, this time when she first arrived in Jiangnan, she naturally felt fresh about everything, just because her surname was shy and embarrassed to say it, seeing Ling Muyun proposing this, she naturally agreed with both hands.
After the three of them walked around for a while, Bai Hansong found an excuse to lead the horse back to the inn for Ling Muyun first, since he intended to match the two, Bai Hansong naturally would not stay as a light bulb at this time. He wasn't worried about Mu Jianping's safety, he didn't think that there could be a character in such a small county town that Ling Muyun couldn't deal with.
When Mu Jianping heard that Bai Hansong was going back to the inn first, she also wanted to follow her back to the inn, because she was ashamed and scared at the thought of being alone with such a "big villain" as Ling Muyun. It's just that the temptation to continue shopping made her reluctant to go back like this, so after hesitation, Bai Hansong left, and Mu Jianping had no choice but to follow Ling Muyun to hang out with him with trepidation.
Ling Muyun saw Mu Jianping's nervousness and apprehension, so he didn't make any more irritating moves to her, just took her around the market with a smile on his face, but whenever he saw that Mu Jianping showed interest in something, he paid for it, no matter where Mu Jianping wanted to go, he would accompany him, and threw it out as if he didn't want money, and perfectly explained what is called the five good men of the new century with practical actions.
Where did Mu Jianping experience this? In addition, they were also attracted by the instinct of the demon seed, and they quickly collapsed under Ling Muyun's surging emotional offensive, but when the two of them returned to the inn after shopping, the two were already talking and laughing, and Mu Jianping's slender jade hand was also unconsciously held in Ling Muyun's hand. It wasn't until she saw Bai Hansong's strange gaze that she realized that she hurriedly broke free from Ling Muyun's hand, and was so ashamed that she ran back to the room and didn't dare to see anyone.
In comparison, Ling Muyun was much more generous, and he didn't care about Bai Hansong's smiling expression, as if there was nothing going on. How can it be said that it is also a young person in the new era who has been cultivated in the era of the information explosion, and after being strengthened by the demon seed, can they not even have this psychological endurance? Besides, he had already seen Bai Hansong's thoughts, and it was clear that he was intentionally matching, since this was the case, then what else was he embarrassed about?
There was no word all night, and early the next morning, the four of them got up and went on the road. Because of yesterday's incident, the little county lord Mu Jianping was still shy, and he didn't say a word after escaping the same and getting into the car, Ling Muyun only talked to her in response to "um" and "ah", and the relationship between the two seemed to have regressed to the original state, but Ling Muyun could feel that this was actually just Mu Jianping's shy and excessive reaction, which seemed to make people see that the relationship between her and Ling Muyun was a terrifying thing, which made Ling Muyun sigh greatly, saying that this little county lord was too shy!
On the way, Ling Muyun asked Bai Hansong about the purpose of their entry into Beijing, Bai Hansong saw that Ling Muyun had become one with his own small county master, and if he couldn't get it, he would be his own family in the future, so he didn't hide it, so he told him the truth.
It turned out that Mu Wangfu got the news this time, Pingxi King Wu Sangui wanted to send his son Wu Yingxiong into Beijing to meet the emperor, their Mu Wangfu and Wu Sangui's Pingxi Wangfu are mortal enemies, in Yunnan Pingxi Wangfu is a lot of people, they can't fight, so they want to take advantage of Wu Yingxiong's visit to Beijing this time, leaving the Pingxi Wangfu's sphere of influence to assassinate him, but also to let out a bad breath in his heart, and at the same time give Wu Sangui a heavy blow to the old thief.
Here I want to talk about the origin of Mu Wangfu, Mu Ying, the founder of Mu Wangfu, was originally the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and later made great contributions with Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against Yuan, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to restore his original surname Mu and named him the Marquis of Xiping. And because of his meritorious service in pacifying Yunnan, he stayed behind to develop the southwest border and expanded the border for the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, so he was posthumously named the king of Qianning after his death, and his descendants inherited the title of Duke of Qianguo and guarded Yunnan for generations.
When the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fled to Yunnan, and Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo at that time, was loyal to him, and came to chase and kill Wu Sangui in a series of battles, under the defeat, he would protect the Yongli Emperor and flee to Burma together with Liu Baifang Su Si, and later protect the lord and die, and Liu Baifang Su Si under his command also died in battle, and only some young children escaped from each family.
Therefore, Mu Wangfu and Pingxi King Wu Sangui can be said to be as deep as the sea, for many years has been fighting with Pingxi Wangfu, but not as strong as the other party, always suffer, this time I learned that Wu Yingxiong went to Beijing to meet, so he set out, vowing to leave Wu Yingxiong's surname outside, and then let him have the opportunity to return to Yunnan.
Because he was afraid that too many people would attract the attention of the government, King Mu's mansion decided to go in batches. For the sake of safety, he asked Bai Hansong to escort the young and weak little county lord Mu Jianping to leave Yunnan first, and rushed to the capital to wait, while the rest of the people stayed in Yunnan for the time being to monitor, and then followed Wu Yingxiong when he left. This allowed Ling Muyun to meet Mu Jianping and Bai Hansong and his party by coincidence.
A group of four people stayed overnight, walked for more than a month, and finally arrived in Yanjing City. The four of them entered the city from the south gate, and according to the unique mark of Mu Wangfu, they found Yangliu Hutong in the west of the city, and lived in a mansion of no small scale, which was sent by Mu Wangfu to buy in the capital in advance, as a stronghold in the capital after Mu Wangfu. At the invitation of Bai Hansong and Mu Jianping, Ling Muyun also stayed in this stronghold of Mu Wangfu in Yanjing.
