Chapter 20: Different Paths to the Same End
Illuminated?
Who is it?
Bu Tong's puzzled eyes handed it to Chun Tao, and Chun Tao stepped forward to send him away, "Go, go, my young lady is gone." β
"The villain just saw that the young lady was benevolent, and he admired it, just to meet him, and asked the girl to be accommodating."
Chun Tao was a little annoyed, "Why are you so uninteresting, my young lady is not an ordinary family, I don't accept such a visit, you can go back." β
And Butong on the side, the tea cup has stopped at his mouth, why is this voice so familiar......
The dead soldiers in the broken pavilion on the outskirts of the city suddenly appeared in front of them, covered with mud and blood, like a tenacious red willow, kneeling in front of them respectfully and heroically, and said in unison, "Mr. Big, a few of us have nowhere to go except to follow Mr. Big, and please don't drive us away." β
β¦β¦
Mo not January?
"Chun Tao," Bu Tong put down the teacup to hide his slightly trembling fingers,
"Let him in."
Chun Tao hesitated, but still lifted the curtain, "You just meet here, don't come close." β
The man even claimed that it was, and knelt down with a "plop" in a sneering appearance, "Meng Zhao has been in Kyoto for many years, and has been bullied by high-ranking officials and nobles, I originally thought that everyone in the world was like this, but today I met Miss, I was lenient to others, sympathetic to us little people, Meng Zhao has no strengths, I practiced martial arts at home for a few years in the early years, and I am willing to follow Miss and protect Miss in this life." β
Unexpectedly, I sent it to the door? Butong was overjoyed.
Chun Tao looked at him disappreciatively, "There are many people who want to follow Miss, and not everyone has such a blessing, besides, in our house, there are many generals in the family, and you are a person who came out of nowhere, and you really dare to say anything." β
Although this is a bit rough to say, Bu Tong also suddenly had doubts, although it is a good thing to say that different paths lead to the same end, but in this life, there is no righteousness and courage in this life, there is no danger to him, there is no his own righteous shot, where is the retribution, where is the single-minded refuge?
There's something wrong with that......
Bu Tong raised his eyes and looked at him, "Chun Tao is right, it's not a big deal, but I can't stand it, so I don't need you to thank him like this." β
Meng Zhao is an almost naΓ―ve man, like a Tibetan mastiff on the plateau, fierce and powerful, but not flexible, although loyal and reliable, but to deal with the old fox Butong, it is really impossible to deal with it, and soon there is nothing to say.
But he didn't want to leave, kneeling there with a face, Chun Tao was puzzled, thought for a while, took out a silver coin from his sleeve and handed it over, it was rare to speak in the style of everyone,
"Your kind lady heard it, you can take the money home and add clothes to your daughter-in-law and children."
Meng Zhao suddenly bent down and kowtowed a few times, "There is no one in the villain's house for a long time, and he only relies on planting vegetables to give the teahouse some thin silver to live, I thought that there was no hope in this life, but now I meet Miss, I am willing to smear the ground for Miss's liver and brain, and please Miss not give up and take in the villain." β
If Bu Tong heard these words in his last life, he must be very happy that his "kindness" touched others, and now, this person who came back from hell has no one else can predict, hearing this, Bu Tong suddenly felt that the person in front of him who should have trusted him the most had a trace of suspicion.
"Who sent you?"
Chun Tao was startled, and the silver money handed out rolled down to the ground, protecting Bu Tong in front of him, and staring at the frozen person on the ground vigilantly, "Who are you?" I think you have bad intentions. β
Meng Zhao looked up in a daze, his eyes were full of bright "incredible", "Miss, you ......"
Bu Tong gently pushed Chun Tao away and walked over, looking at Meng Zhao's honest appearance and sighed, "You said that you, a person who obviously can't lie, what are you covering up for him?" You said that you are Tang Xuanlin's person, will I still want you to fail? β
After a while, Bu Tong had already excluded all the people who had been planted by his side for January, January was one of the people he trusted the most, and he was by his side until the last moment, presumably not sent by the enemy, and the other allies, now that everything has just begun, there is no need to install people to take care of them by his side, so it seems that only Tang Xuanlin, who was aware of his existence and guessed that he would stir up trouble in the future, took advantage of the new personnel to arrange such a person to his side.
Meng Zhao simply didn't say anything else, "Miss is smart, it is indeed the arrangement of the Overseer, but all this is because the villain is deeply favored by Miss and voluntarily follows Miss all her life." β
Seeing that Butong was puzzled, Meng Zhao raised his head, his eyes moist, "The villain's whole family was bullied to death by the family as ants, and the villain also fell into the prison of the Criminal Department and almost became a substitute for others, but fortunately, the Lord Governor brought the villain out of the prison." And all this is because Miss proposed: Dongchang set up and appointed the people, so that the villain has a chance to get a life, which is given by the Miss, and the villain will never dare to forget it. β
Is there such a thing?
I didn't know until I died.
Bu Tong's throat seemed to be choked by something, and he felt that he had passed that life in a trance, and he died in a hurry without knowing anything, and now he thinks about it, how ridiculous this thing is.
Waving his hand slightly, Bu Tong motioned to Chun Tao, "Chun Tao, take him back, arrange him to the back for the time being, don't attract everyone's attention, go back and wait for me to prepare a house, and then let him live there." β
"What?" Chun Tao hurried over, "Miss, we haven't found out the details of this person yet, besides, what if he lies?" β
Butong smiled, "I have a number." β
In the previous life, Chun Tao was also very skeptical of the existence of January at first, so there is no need to force it too much.
"By the way, on the north side of the backyard of the Nanguo Mansion, but whose house is it, you go to find someone to inquire, if you can, you can buy it."
Chun Tao tilted her head and thought for a while, "Miss wants to buy a house, and the corner of North Street is good, but most of the houses near the Guogong Mansion are not too big." β
Butong got up,
"It's okay, it's just to raise some of your own dead soldiers, and you don't need to be too public."
Chun Tao covered her mouth in surprise, and turned around to see if any idlers heard this.
In the city of Kyoto, there used to be a trend of rich and noble families raising dead soldiers, but later because the atmosphere was too crooked, His Majesty issued a decree to prohibit this behavior, Butong a young noble girl, so righteous and bright to say, naturally shocking the world, Meng Zhao looked up, but a little vaguely excited, "Thank you Miss for your trust, the villain must be ruined and dead." β
"It's not so serious, January will stay by my side until the end," Bu Tong smiled softly.
"January?" The other two people present were puzzled.
Thinking that he was a little fast forward, Bu Tong let Meng Zhao get up and explain,
"Since you follow me, don't use your name in the future, in case you want to wash your hands and be an ordinary person one day after the day, and you won't be sought revenge by the enemy, you will be January in the future, and if there are others, you will be in February and March...... In the future, I need you to take care of these things for me. β
Meng Zhao bowed his head, "I will live up to the trust of Miss." β
β¦β¦
The excerpt started to sing slowly, babbling and babbling was full of affection, and Butong's ears were about to become calloused, but he had to continue to listen to it.
This is the best gift I have received in recent days.
It was already evening when he returned to the Guogong Mansion, and Bu Tong walked in from the side door with the spring peach thief, and ran straight into the hurried Jingzhao, and saw Bu Tong enter the door, and exclaimed, "Miss, where have you been?" Miss Beiguo has been waiting for you for a while. β
White peony? Sister-in-law?
Bu Tong was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Peony is here?" I'll go over here. β
Jing Zhao grabbed Butong and whispered, "Miss, you have to be careful when you go in, the prince of the north is very atmospheric, and the adults want me to come out to look for Jingtiao, saying that they are going to beat the eldest young master." β
What's going on?
Bu Tong's eyes glared at the boss with a "whew", "Why did you suddenly scold your brother?" But my brother is going to the army noisily again? β
Jing Zhao shook his head, his brows furrowed very high, "It was the Duke of Beiguo who brought his only daughter to the house, and it was originally intended to discuss marriage, but the eldest young master preemptively said that he did not want to get married, and everyone with a discerning eye could see the mind of the Lord of Beiguo, and the young master's statement was equivalent to slapping everyone's face, and this would not be what it is today." β
Bu Tong suddenly felt that he had a headache, probably not suitable for such an occasion, Jing Zhao couldn't help θ―΄οΈ but pull her to the lobby, "Miss go in quickly, now the adults are frozen there, you can go in even if you talk to Miss Bai." β
Bu Tong stubbornly walked over there, stretched out his hand to hand Jing Zhao shortbread, and smiled flatteringly, "Sister, try this shortbread." β
Of course, Jing Zhao saw through Bu Tong's careful thoughts, "Miss, don't hide, Miss Bai is in the front hall, can you not go." β
Bu Tong had to take heavy steps into the front hall, the scene was really messy, the Duke of the South and the Duke of the North were all with a blue face, Mrs. Qi frowned on the side, his brother knelt down with his back to the door and didn't know what he was thinking, Bai Peony sat on the seat and wept gently, and raised his handkerchief from time to time to wipe it.
"Tong'er has seen uncle, father, mother, what's wrong? Why do you need to be so angry? β
Nan Guogong glanced sideways, and pointed at Bu Yiyang angrily, "Look at you good brother, you set an example for your sister like this?" Fortunately, your sister is obedient, and you don't have to worry about me and your mother! β
Bu Tong took the opportunity to step forward and kneel beside Bu Yiyang,
"Father, mother, and brother just like to be in the army, and that's not a bad thing." By the way, he quietly pushed Yi Yang and motioned him to follow and say, Mo Ti got married.
Nan Guogong glared at Bu Yiyang, "Tell me yourself, what did you say just now?" β
Bu Yiyang shook his head, and his voice did not hesitate at all,
"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and so do I, not to mention, I can't look down on those delicate daughters in Kyoto City."
