"Don't tell me you care about this contract."

Mu Junwu's expression was cold, and the alienation and coldness in his eyes were a little stronger.

Peng Lan's expression was weak when she heard this: "Am I not concerned about the matter?" You and I are fish on the chopping board, and we can't help ourselves......"

"No, I don't think so!" Mu Junwu was reborn: "If I let go of that identity, you can also ...... again"

"Re-licensing to someone else, is it still a bargaining chip?" Peng Lan suddenly interrupted Mu Junwu's words excitedly, her expression was resentful, resentful, and miserable, as helpless and bitter as duckweed.

Mu Junwu suddenly straightened up at this time, and said very seriously: "The matter of the marriage contract, even if I am sorry for you, you and I have no intention, so what can I ......do?"

"What's the use of talking about it now!" Peng Lan propped her hands on the table, her eyes staring at Mu Junwu were full of concern: "You and I are inseparable, unless you die in front of him clearly and clearly, otherwise, you will always be a threat to him, and my father will never give up on you." ”

"When the time comes, he'll naturally die." Mu Junwu said and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Peng Lan hurriedly said, "What about Chen Zhaoyi? ”

Mu Junwu looked at Peng Lan: "She has always only hoped that I am well." ”

"And what about her safety?"

"If I disappear, I will quit, I don't even want the royal power, and they have no reason to use my mother to provoke me again."

"Not really." Peng Lan shook her head slowly: "You disappear, Chen Zhaoyi has one less supporter behind her, will Concubine Yuan De give her a good life?" ”

"Concubine De is a smart person, she will never touch her."

"But is the king a smart man?" Peng Lan sneered: "Now that he is sitting on the throne, he is no longer just a son, and he will not only listen to Concubine De, if those people are ......"

Peng Lan paused for a moment when she said this, then stood up and stood beside Mu Junwu: "What if those people must be killed in order to protect themselves?" ”

Mu Junwu was silent, his eyes showing melancholy.

"Shiro, I know you don't like these fights, and I don't like either, but we can't escape this vortex at all. You care about your mother, I care about my father, and there are only a few things we can do for them. ”

Peng Lan said and walked to the front of Mu Junwu from the side: "Actually, I went to Zhennan to see you before, I wanted to convey my father's meaning, he hoped that you would fake your disappearance, and then secretly cultivate power with him, and when that dynasty was corrupted, he would have a way to make you support the people on the throne naturally......"

"Xie Lingzun favors, but I don't want to be a king, I just want to be an ordinary person." The gloom in Mu Junwu's eyes dissipated, and there was only coldness.

"You are the prince, the only king of Chu who was canonized by the first king, you were born to be an ordinary person, you are destined...... Either you become a king or you lose! ”

Mu Junwu looked at Peng Lan at this time and sighed: "Don't you understand?" When I wrote to tell you that we were not going to get married, I had chosen to be the loser. ”

Mu Junwu bypassed Peng Lan and stepped forward.

"Are you really going to break the contract?" Peng Lan turned around and stared at Mu Junwu's back: "Isn't the harm that the world has done to us enough?" Are you really going to give me another stab? ”

"Back then, my father made a marriage contract for you and me, so that Zun could gain a foothold in Chudi, and I didn't object to it, but because I had accepted my fate like you."

Mu Junwu turned to look at Peng Lan: "You and I are unwilling to be controlled by others, so you should bring happiness for yourself, now...... The first king is a great trip, pray that the king is missing, Ling Zun does not have to guard me, this paper marriage contract does not exist, I wish the girl another good marriage, and happiness in this life. ”

After Mu Junwu finished speaking, he turned around and pushed the door away, and the rouge who was guarding outside the house watched Mu Junwu leave in astonishment, and hurriedly entered the house: "Miss! ”

"Get out!" Peng Lan's peace and dignity were gone at this moment, her face was flushed, and her eyes were gloomy and her fists were clenched.

Breaking the engagement is ruining me, I won't give you a chance, never!

……

After Mu Junwu left the restaurant, the joy of freedom had disappeared, and he walked aimlessly along the street with a gloomy face, and when he came back to his senses, he was already on the bustling dock.

On the wharf, there are businessmen and customers, and relatives, friends and relatives, crowded together in one place is particularly lively, near the river embankment there are many tea shops and wine shops, Mu Junwu is bored, and walked into a wine shop at will.

"Guest, what do you want?"

"Give me a jug of water."

Mu Junwu's answer made Xiao Er stunned: "Guest officer, we are a wine shop, and there are many ...... of good wine."

Mu Junwu put the money on the table: "Qing Shui, you charge it according to the price of wine." ”

With such a good thing, Xiao Er naturally didn't say more, took the money, and put a pot of water and a cup in front of Mu Junwu: "Guest officer, this is the clear water you want." ”

Mu Junwu poured a cup and drank it, the water was clear and cool, and it was as cold as wine to seal his throat.

His marriage contract with Peng Lan originated from the migration of the Peng family's forces.

At that time, the Ma family, which had only just been founded, was the same as other feudal towns, but they relied on the army to dominate the king.

However, when the feudal town changed the country, the governance was naturally different, and the country was courteous everywhere, which not only needed strong soldiers and horses, but also good strategies to let the people recuperate, not to mention a large amount of money, silk, grain and rice.

At this juncture, Peng Lan's father Peng Ji came to defect with a group of Jizhou (Jiangxi) soldiers and horses, and his father could not refuse, so as not to turn his friends into enemies, so he naturally recruited talents, and gave Peng Ji the position of Chenzhou Assassin History, and at the same time, in order to ensure the "partner" relationship, he and Peng Lan made a marriage contract.

At that time, he was still young, obsessed with books and classics all day long, swimming in the sea of books day and night, and never paid attention to the love affairs of his children and the meaning of the marriage contract.

But as I grew older, the more I read books, the more I understood that these marriage contracts were just a manifestation of a "covenant", which was really not a taste in my heart.

He mentioned his dissatisfaction with his mother, but his mother told him that he had to accept everything, after all, his father's order was difficult to disobey, and besides, ...... The power of the Peng family has grown and stabilized with the years, and Peng Ji is no longer the assassin of Chenzhou, but the envoy of the Wuping army stationed in Langzhou.

Such a powerful future father-in-law was extremely red in the eyes of others, and he couldn't ask for it, and the mother concubine thought that he really had no reason to refuse.

But only he knew how disgusted and disdainful he was for the regime's schemes that they were keen on, and of course he hated even more that he had become a chess piece.

He had the idea of dissolving the marriage contract, but the concubine resolutely refused to allow it, repeatedly emphasizing that if he did this, he would hurt the woman's heart, and even hurt Peng Yu's face, which might bring disaster.

So even if he had this idea in his heart, he didn't put it forward for a long time, until he happened to bump into that scene, and he really made up his mind.

It was the Qiqiao Festival two years ago, and Concubine De invited the unmarried daughters of the important minister's family to the palace to participate in the hairpin flower party.

Peng Lan, the daughter of the Peng family, was naturally invited, and he deliberately avoided these boring banquets, but because of the second brother's words, he couldn't help but go to the venue.

He said, "Don't you want to see your future wife?" ”
