With war expected in the near future, Mu Liancheng had to be vigilant and prepared.

So that morning, he put aside the government affairs at hand for the time being, went to inspect the Shangchun camp, and told the generals to step up training, of course, only ordered the soldiers to be strictly trained, and did not say anything about anyone wanting to rebel.

"Your Majesty, I received news from Qin Luo half an hour ago." After coming out of the camp, Dayou said in a deep voice.

Mu Liancheng got into the carriage and sat down inside before asking, "What did she say?" ”

"Miss Feng and Jiang Mingche left Lanzhou and went south to Huai County, Wuzhou." Dayou outside replied, listening to the tone of which seemed a little displeased.

"Huaixian?" Mu Liancheng frowned lightly, Wuzhou is the old nest of Sanssouci Gate, there are Jiang Mingche's people everywhere, it is even more difficult to escape if he goes, why would Feng Qingfang go there?

"And ......" The big tour was fragmented, and there was no follow-up for a long time.

"What else?"

"In the mansion where the third girl and Jiang Mingche lived, people came in and out during this time, and they bought a lot of new things, which seemed to be a happy event."

Hearing this, Mu Liancheng's hand that was pouring tea shook the ground, and the hot tea splashed out and splashed on the back of his hand, immediately burning a piece of red.

In this way, Feng Qingfang really wants to marry Jiang Mingche?

What the hell are you thinking?

When there was silence, Mu Liancheng took out a handkerchief to wipe off the injured water stains, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the palace." ”

The sound was like a cold current, which made people shudder after drifting into their ears, and Dayou didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly ordered the guards to urge the horses to go.

Mu Liancheng leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and pondered, his face seemed to have no expression, his brows furrowed slightly, his right hand rested on his knee, and his index finger moved from time to time.

After entering the city, there was a lot of traffic outside, but he still sat quietly, as if he was not affected by the noise outside.

Suddenly, the carriage "rattle" stopped, and with a shake of his feet, his body was also caught off guard and sent forward, and the whole person almost flew out, but fortunately he reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the window in time to stabilize his body.

Someone shouted in the noise outside, "You drivers don't know how to look at the road, do you?" I don't know how to go around when I see the old man sitting here, if you knock my old bones to death, what will you pay? ”

"What's wrong?" Mu Liancheng opened the curtain and asked.

Dayou walked over and replied: "Your Majesty, it was an old man sitting on the ground blocking the way, there were many suitable people, and the car was driving fast, and the groom couldn't see it for a while, and almost crashed into it." ”

As he spoke, Jun's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Now he is shouting, obviously he is sitting in the middle of the road by himself, but he blames us, what an unreasonable old man." ”

"Didn't hit anyone, did you?"

"No, fortunately it stopped in time."

Mu Liancheng bowed slightly: "That's good." ”

I thought it would be good to be appeased a little, but the shouts outside became louder and louder: "I think the old man is afraid of you?" Look at your little doll, the hair hasn't grown yet, you dare to shout at me, when the old man was roaming the rivers and lakes, you didn't know where it was! ”

"Your Majesty, this old man is really rude, his subordinates just told him that he was going to disturb the government if he made a big fuss, so he scolded me with a big face, I have never seen such a difficult person." There was a grievance from Dayou outside.

Mu Liancheng opened his eyes again, raised his sword eyebrows, got up and walked out of the carriage, he wanted to see what kind of character this old man was.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw an old man in tattered clothes and gray hair sitting on the ground in front of me, glaring angrily at a few guards, surrounded by people watching the excitement.

He came out of a small suit today, there was no guard of honor, and he looked like he was just from an ordinary rich and noble family, and the guards naturally did not dare to reveal his identity without an order, so no one recognized that this was the emperor of Dayan.

"This old man, where are you hurt?"

The old man turned his head to look over, looked at the young man in front of him a few times with his eyes, and asked angrily, "You are the owner of the carriage?" ”

"It's exactly down there." Mu Liancheng lifted the corners of his lips and bowed his head.

"Your car almost hit me, you should be responsible!" The old man said righteously.

Mu Liancheng looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, you are still full of anger when you speak, and you are not injured, since my carriage did not hit you, how can you be responsible?" ”

"Hey, don't you want to pay the bill?" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to pull Mu Liancheng's sleeve tightly, "Although I am not injured, my spirit has been greatly damaged, if it weren't for the old man, I have experienced a lot of storms and waves, and I am still strong, I would have been scared to death!" ”

Da You on the side hurriedly stepped forward and scolded: "What kind of mental loss? You're messing around! Let go of my son-in-law, or I'm going to do it! ”

"Isn't mental loss a loss? I still want to do it with the old man, come, can you try it? The old man looked up and glared at Dayou, without any intention of retreating.

"That's what the old man said." Mu Liancheng glanced back at Dayou, then leaned over to support the old man, and said softly: "You get up first, I won't evade the responsibility." ”

Seeing that he had such a good attitude, the old man was shocked for a while, which of these rich boys is not superior? It's too late to hide in the face of him, an old man who is dirtier than a beggar, how can he personally help him up?

Hmph, he saw so many people here, it's not good to shake his face, and he deliberately acted, right?

"Well, I'll take you to a nearby inn to settle down and freshen up, and if you feel unwell, how about going to see the doctor?" Mu Liancheng asked patiently again.

The old man was stunned and even more shocked.

"It's like words." He shook off the sleeves of his shirt that were too tattered to shake up, straightened his back, and said, he wanted to see how long this kid could fit.

So, Mu Liancheng gave the carriage to the old man, and he walked with Dayou and the others on foot.

"The Emperor...... Childe, there are so many old people who have come out to extort money these years, this one in front of me looks quite similar, this old man must have deceived you, you should ignore him, why are you still stupidly led by his nose? ”

Mu Liancheng squirmed the corners of his lips and said softly: "I see that he seems to be injured, and he is penniless, and he has to have an accident if he is alone, it is better to place him in an inn, and it will not delay much time." "Besides, he came out today just to relax.

When he arrived at the inn, Mu Liancheng opened a first-class room for the old man, and asked the boss to send a set of clean clothes and cook a meal.

By the time the old man had finished grooming himself and changed into clean clothes, the table was already full of food.

Mu Liancheng turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Clean it up, your whole person is much more energetic." ”

"Really?" The old man looked down and complained, "It's just that this suit is too big and ugly to wear." ”

"It's all like this, and you still pick and choose, and some of you wear it and laugh contently!" Dayou pouted.

Probably hungry for a long time, the old man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the food, and he didn't hear what he said, and strode to the table to sit down, but suddenly he paused again, stood up straight with his hands, and asked, "Is it okay to eat?" ”

Mu Liancheng wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back.

"Of course, this is specially prepared for you by the store."

"Then the old man is welcome." The old man immediately sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly stopped, "The old man is not a beggar, and he is not late to eat food, but he didn't bring silver taels with him when he came out, and he made a little embarrassed. ”

"Okay." It was the first time Mu Liancheng had seen such an interesting old man, and he thought it was quite interesting, so he followed his wishes.

Finally, having said all that had to be said, the old man began to feast.

Don't look at his gray hair, he is over sixty years old, he still eats a lot of food, and because he is too hungry, he eats very fast, and he eats two large bowls of rice with only one cup of tea, and half of the dishes are gone.

Mu Liancheng was worried that he would choke, so he ordered Dayou on the side to help pour tea.

When a table of food is finished, there is only time for a stick of incense.

After drinking the last sip of tea, the old man touched his stomach and said with satisfaction: "The old man hasn't eaten so happily for a long time, if he can have a sip of wine, it would be even better." ”

"Your injuries are not healed, so it's better not to touch the wine." Mu Liancheng waved his hand and beckoned the guy at the door, "Clean up the table and send another pot of tea." ”

"You're sharp-eyed, and you can see that I'm injured?" The old man looked at him and said that his tone was finally not as impulsive as before.

"I saw a scar on your arm, by the way, where do you live, if necessary, I can send someone to send you back."

"I am from Yanzhou, and I fled to the capital."

It's no wonder, no wonder it's so embarrassing, Mu Liancheng asked again: "Then do you have relatives and friends in the capital?" ”

The old man frowned and replied: "There is a goddaughter, in the Dingguo Mansion, but the old man has been looking for a long time and has not looked for it, I have been to this capital before, I didn't think it was very big, but this time I got lost, I am really old and useless." ”

"Dingguo Mansion?" Mu Liancheng stared at the old man in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly became enlightened, "You are the castle master of Locke's Fort, right?" ”

"Yo, you know the old man?" Old Man Luo smiled proudly.

Mu Liancheng bowed his head and said, "I know your goddaughter, Miss Fengsan. ”

"Really? Who are you? The old man asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Friends." Mu Liancheng didn't want to reveal his identity in front of the leader of this gang, "I heard her mention you when I was chatting before. ”

"I see." The old man nodded, "Then can you take the old man to the Guogong Mansion?" ”

"It's not a problem, but, as far as I know, the third girl has been out of town during this time, and she is not in the house, and you can't see her if you go."

The old man lowered his head and said angrily: "That's too unfortunate, that girl loves to run out, it's really infuriating, do you know when she will come back?" ”
