Chapter 35: Whereabouts

As soon as Zuo Xiangyang's words came out, Mu Lingyun stopped beating his hands and continued to beat his hands, clasped his hands around his chest, and looked at him with accountable eyes, just waiting for him to explain himself.

Zuo Xiangyang touched his nose, looking at her behavior after seeing her come back, there was always an illusion in a trance, Yun Mu's temperament was not like a man, especially in her blameful little eyes, which looked a bit like a woman.

This kind of thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Zuo Xiangyang was immediately shocked, and immediately vetoed his ridiculous idea in his heart, and begged for mercy with a smile: "Yun Mu, if there is such a thing next time, I will definitely take you with me, this time it happened suddenly, can you forgive the master?" ”

Mu Lingyun thought about it, generously rewarded Zuo Xiangyang with a smile, and said, "Okay, I forgive you this time, but if you do this again next time, I won't recognize you as a master."

Seeing that Mu Lingyun was not to blame, Zuo Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, found a place to sit down at random, and said, "Yun Mu, pack up your things, let's go back to Liangcheng"

Mu Lingyun's eyes widened, he looked at him in disbelief, and asked eagerly: "Master, why do we want to go back to Liangcheng, isn't there no matter how much the Pei family has an eyebrow?" Master, are you going to give up checking? ”

Zuo Xiangyang gave her a reassuring look, and immediately reassured: "I didn't give up, I just found some clues, and I have to go back to make sure that I can."

Mu Lingyun's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to Zuo Xiangyang's side and asked, "Master, master, what have you found?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Zuo Xiangyang shook his head and said, "No, at least not yet, I'll tell you when I'm sure."

Mu Lingyun rolled his eyes, he obviously didn't believe her, he pursed his lips and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, you are rare for me."

Although Mu Lingyun said that, the movements in his hands did not stop, he quickly cleaned up, and drove back to Liangcheng with Zuo Xiangyang.

Jin Shaoming, who had stayed in Liangcheng for two months, inexplicably received a letter from Jiang Ming, "Lord Wang, Jiang Ming's letter"

When he got the letter, Jin Shaoming was surprised, looked down at the four words 'the prince personally opened' written on the envelope, and asked: "What is the matter in the capital, why did Jiang Ming suddenly write a letter to this king?"

Zhan's guard shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, nothing major happened in the capital."

Jin Shaoming then unsealed the paint, and after reading the content of the letter at a glance, Jin Shaoming's hands trembled excitedly, and he shouted with the surprise in his heart: "Come on, prepare a horse, go to Youzhou"

Jiang Ming will write a letter to Jin Shaoming, it is entirely because Jiang Ming left Youzhou to return to Beijing to report on his work, the more he thought about it on the way, the more he felt that something was wrong, something was omitted by him, and after arriving in Beijing, he overheard others talking about Princess Ming, Jiang Ming suddenly realized that the reason why he felt that Yun Mu had a good face was because Yun Mu looked like a princess.

Thinking that it was likely to be dressed up by the princess, Jiang Ming wrote a letter and quickly sent it to Jin Shaoming, but Jiang Ming didn't know that after he left Youzhou, Mu Lingyun also left Youzhou, and Jin Shaoming's trip was bound to be empty.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming informed Jin Shaoming in the letter that Mu Lingyun's current identity is a name and surname, and it has become easy to find her whereabouts, plus she is now from Liangcheng's dart game, Jin Shaoming's heart is already convinced that it is the princess he is looking for.

It was probably a deliberate teasing by God, when Jin Shaoming arrived in Youzhou, Mu Lingyun and Zuo Xiangyang had already returned to Liangcheng from Xiao County.

As soon as he entered the dart game, Zuo Xiangyang asked the sixth uncle: "Sixth uncle, where is my father?" ”

Mu Lingyun suddenly heard Zuo Xiangyang ask about the whereabouts of the head of the dart, and he had suspicions in his heart and looked at him in surprise.

The sixth uncle didn't think so, but Zuo Xiangyang asked about his father's whereabouts as usual, and said truthfully: "The head of the dart has been in the study all day today, and he hasn't gone out for half a step."

Zuo Xiangyang bowed his head, strode towards the study, and when he walked to the door of the study, he stopped hesitantly, Mu Lingyun looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Zuo Xiangyang shook his head, slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door, he hadn't heard the response in the study for a long time, and was hesitating whether to push the door in, or continue to knock on the door, when the door of the study suddenly opened, "Dad"

Zuo Guangji, the head of the dart, glanced at them and said, "Come in."

Zuo Guangji sat behind the bookcase, glanced at Zuo Xiangyang and Mu Lingyun standing in front of him, his figure was tall and tall, and his eyes finally fell on his son's body, and said, "What is the matter with you coming to see me?" ”

Zuo Xiangyang, who was standing in front of the table, looked at his father who was stained with wind and frost in front of him, and asked with difficulty: "Father, have you been in the dart game all this time?" Have you ever been to Xiao County? ”

Listening to his son's inquiry, the corners of Zuo Guangji's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he laughed bitterly in the end, and said: "I know what you want to ask, I am secretly stopping you from investigating this old matter."

Zuo Xiangyang was stunned, stunned in place, Mu Lingyun beside her was also stupid, when she heard Zuo Xiangyang ask the sixth uncle from the door, she had a faint guess in her heart, and now she heard Zuo Guangji admit it in person, it was really unbelievable.

After a while, Zuo Xiangyang came back to his senses and asked word by word: "Dad, why don't you let me check?" Or are you really as Pei Hongzhi said? ”

The room was silent, Zuo Guangji silently turned the wrench on his thumb, and only said after a while: "Xiangyang, things have passed for so many years, why do you need to bring up the old things again, make a big move, let him pass the past."

Zuo Xiangyang looked at his father puzzled, and said expressionlessly: "Father, my son believes that you will not be that kind of person, but why don't you want your son to find out, and you are willing to carry the stigma for the rest of your life, father!" ”

Zuo Guangji avoided his son's scorching gaze, stood up from his seat, stood with his back to the two, and said slowly: "Alas, Xiangyang, my father didn't let you check it for your own good, twenty-eight years ago, as the deputy general next to General Pei, if something happened to the Pei family, I naturally wouldn't sit back and watch......"

Mu Lingyun opened her mouth slightly in surprise, Zuo Guangji told the cause and effect of the Pei family's accident in front of the two, and what made her unbelievable was that there was also her biological father Mu Wei's handwriting, in addition to Mu Wei, there was also the figure of the abolished prince Jin Shaolin.

Twenty-eight years ago, the Pei family was framed for rebellion, Zuo Guangji was anxious, and got the Pei family's connections from General Pei's hands, using these connections, Zuo Guangji quickly touched the edge of the truth, with that little bit of evidence, helpless people were weak and had no way to ask for help, and finally could only watch the Pei family being beheaded, lurking in the dark to collect the bodies of the Pei family.

It took him ten years to record all the people who participated in the framing of the Pei family, but when he saw the names on the roster, he was shocked one after another, so he hid in the dart game with hatred and became the dart head of the dart game.

Zuo Guangji walked in front of Zuo Xiangyang, patted his son's shoulder, and said with dissuasion: "Xiangyang, this matter involves a wide range of things, and it is not something you can bear, because my father wants you to stop it, don't continue to investigate."

Zuo Xiangyang sat on the chair dejectedly, he knew that his father was completely for his good, but how could he be willing, Zuo Xiangyang couldn't figure it out, waved away his father's hand, turned around and ran out.

Zuo Guangji looked at the figure of his son running away, and was about to call out his son's name in his mouth, but he swallowed it into his stomach again without knowing what he thought, and saw Mu Lingyun who was still stunned on the side, and said, "If you're okay, go get busy first."

Mu Lingyun came back to his senses in a daze, nodded with Zuo Guangji, and chased Zuo Xiangyang, but he slowed down for a while, and when Mu Lingyun came out of the study door, he couldn't see Zuo Xiangyang's figure.

Zuo Xiangyang couldn't be found in the dart game, Mu Lingyun knew where he went after thinking about it carefully, and sure enough, Mu Lingyun saw the disappeared Zuo Xiangyang on the tree in the back mountain, and said with a sigh of relief: "Master, I guess that you must have come to Houshan if you are not in the dart game."

Zuo Xiangyang glanced down at her, his mood was not high, and he said in a dull voice: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Mu Lingyun raised his head, looked at him sitting on a high branch, and said a little depressed: "Master, why do you like to sit on the tree so much, every time I see you, I have to look up at you"

Zuo Xiangyang didn't say anything, his body jumped, jumped down from the tree, landed beside her, and said, "How about now?" ”

Mu Lingyun nodded with satisfaction, looked at his side face full of sadness, sighed silently, and persuaded: "Master, I think the words of the chief dart are right, those people are in high positions in the government and the opposition, and even more so in the royal family, we are all ordinary people, and the people have not fought with officials since ancient times."

Zuo Xiangyang didn't answer, he didn't know this truth, but he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, and sat quietly against the trunk of the tree, Mu Lingyun thought he was a good apprentice, so he naturally sat on the ground like him, leaning against the tree, and didn't make a sound to disturb, silently accompanying him.

From evening to night, Zuo Xiangyang tilted his head to look at Mu Lingyun, who was already asleep sitting next to him, his heart was ironing, he slowly got up and took off his robe, and carefully covered Mu Lingyun's body.

When Mu Lingyun opened her eyes, she saw a big face, which startled her, and she waved her hand and slapped Zuo Xiangyang's face with a "snap".

A crisp slap sound instantly scared Mu Lingyun's sleepy worm, and he looked at him apologetically and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm sleeping, I didn't mean to hit you."

Zuo Xiangyang touched the place where Mu Lingyun was hit, smiled maliciously, and said: "I have been growing up, even my father has never slapped me, but you have broken this precedent."

After doing something bad, Mu Lingyun lowered her head, as obedient as a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong, and apologized again and again: "Master, master, I was wrong, I was unintentional, who let you come over!"

Zuo Xiangyang looked at him suspiciously and said, "What do you want to say?" Who makes what? ”

Mu Lingyun shook his head quickly, and hurriedly denied: "No, master, you heard it wrong, I didn't say anything, it's getting late, the sixth uncle should be looking for me, goodbye, master"

Mu Lingyun turned around and ran in the direction of the dart game, Zuo Xiangyang looked at her back and fled, and immediately laughed, and the mood of the dull day suddenly brightened.

Running back to the firewood room in one breath, Mu Lingyun locked the door with his backhand, and Zuo Xiangyang's laughter laughing at her echoed in her ears, her cheeks burned red for a while, she lay on the bed and buried her head in the quilt, adjusting her mood, Mu Lingyun cleaned the dart game as if she had nothing to do, and went out to help the sixth uncle work.
