Chapter 167: So You Understand
The high walls of bluestone, the glazed wall tiles, the high and wide eaves, the vermilion gates, and the doors that do not squint all show the unique power and pride of the royal family, and everywhere show the grandeur and majesty of the king of Pan.
"Hehe, come with me." Li Muze paid completely, came over and gently took Cherry's hand, it couldn't be more natural, no matter how logical, as if he was really holding his sister.
Cherry didn't mind, obediently pulled by him towards the bright red, wide open Zhu Gate, secretly thinking in his heart, this Li Muze can enter and leave the palace freely, there are people in it who have a relationship, so what is his relationship with this palace? This is a dignified palace, and he is just the son of a prefect.
When the two men saw Li Muze, they both saluted respectfully and let him go, but their eyes were full of contempt and disdain that could not be concealed, and they felt strange about him holding a handsome young man. Seeing their contemptuous and disdainful, as if seeing beggars on the street, Cherry's heart was even more strange.
Li Muze took her by the hand, and was about to cross the high threshold, and walked out of a line of five or six Yahuan with similar figures and clothes from behind the Zhaobi, obviously seeing Li Muze and the two, but they all bowed their heads respectfully, pretending not to see it, and walked one by one, a total of six Yahuan, and stood a 'human-shaped corridor' between the Zhaobi and the gate.
Seeing the situation, Li Muze's eyebrows sank slightly, and he took the cherry to the side to avoid it, and he didn't say a word.
Then, after taking the wall, a man and a woman walked out dressed luxuriously, followed by the maid and the mother-in-law, who looked at the princess and county lord in the palace.
Li Muze took a step back with Cherry, avoiding the door, and did not mean to come forward to say hello.
The man and the woman, the woman was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate little face, wearing a bright green summer dress, and the body was decorated with cherries that could not be called famous. The eyebrows are slightly raised, the little nose is slightly upturned, and she looks arrogant and domineering unique to a delicate woman.
The man was wearing a dark green silk robe woven with gold threads, and his hair was tied with a jade crown, although his expression was milder than that of the woman, but the disdain in his eyes could not be concealed.
The two of them didn't seem to see Li Muze and the others, and slowly walked out from behind the wall, and slowly, step by step, walked to the door, and there were two gorgeous and exquisite sedan chairs outside the door.
Cherry is secretly thinking, this Li Muze is so strange, obviously an acquaintance of the palace, why didn't the female owner and the male master greet him when he saw the female protagonist here, but he wanted to stay aside and say nothing? Looking at that look, it was a look of secrecy, and it was really impossible to guess what the reason was here.
A man and a woman walked to the door, and just about to go down the steps, the woman seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look in the direction of Li Muze and Cherry. When he saw the person clearly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was very displeased: "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as she said this, the man in the dark green robe also turned around, and when he saw that it was Li Muze, his handsome face sank slightly, and he followed: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, is it a lack of money, or is it a trouble?" ”
Do they know each other? Cherry was secretly surprised, and then looked at Li Muze, she was even more surprised to see that Li Muze's originally somewhat gloomy face, at this time, with a fear and uneasiness that she had never seen before, said in a low voice: "Recently...... There are some ...... on hand."
"Hmph" The man didn't wait for Li Muze to finish speaking, he snorted lightly with disdain, pulled out his sleeves, looked to the side, and said, "Third sister, don't let such unrelated people disturb Yaxing, let's go." ”
"It's really cheap seeds that can't produce good seedlings. If there is no trouble, the sun will come out of the west. The woman didn't respond to the man's voice, but looked at Li Muze with her eyes, and said contemptuously: "I really don't know when the dignified palace became a shelter, it's just some irrelevant people going back and forth, it's really not an eyesore." ”
Li Muze hung his head, a little staggered, shrunk his body, and looked embarrassed.
Cherry was secretly surprised, what kind of person is Li Muze, she thinks she understands, such a look, such an action, when has it ever appeared on his body? Besides, what is this man and woman talking about begging for money and causing trouble? Suddenly, she remembered four words, the Demon King of the Mixed World???
"Let's go, don't let such irrelevant people ruin their interest." The man urged again, as if he was afraid that he would be smoked by the stench on Li Muze's body if he stayed for a while, so he couldn't wait to get into the sedan chair first.
When the woman saw the man getting into the sedan chair, she was no longer impatient to say anything, turned around and glared at Li Muze again, and then turned around and got into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair rose steadily and swayed forward.
It wasn't until the group disappeared from view that Li Muze raised his head slightly and shouted at the two men: "What are you looking at?" Despicable thing!! After speaking, he took Cherry's hand and entered the threshold without looking back.
The two men both hung their heads, but the disdain on their faces was even heavier.
Cherry had a stomach full of words to ask, but she knew that the palace was not a good place to talk. had to obediently follow Li Muze around and around.
At the same time, she had to sigh, the palace is the palace after all, and she can't see the layout, architecture, and scenery inside. Not to mention the intricate paths, she has now lost her direction, and let Li Muze take her inside.
"I'll tell you the original in a moment." Walking to a place where no one was around, Li Muze said softly, took Cherry's hand again, and continued to walk forward.
Cherry followed obediently, his hands, slender and even, with a faint fragrance, cold and cold.
"Little master? How did you get here? "The various courtyards in the palace are scattered, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Muze took her into a courtyard that seemed to be a place for people to rest and stay. The one who spoke was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old guy, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two deep dimples on his cheeks when he smiled, looking honest and cute.
It's just that...... Little master? Cherry couldn't help but guess what the name meant.
"Go and see if Shunyi is empty now, if it's empty, call him." followed this little guy into a hut that was obviously only for men, and Li Muze straightened his back and wiped away the uninhibited and dissolute look on his face.
"Yes." The little guy answered, turned around and ran away.
"It's still safe to talk here. Take advantage of this time to ask. Li Muze sighed lowly.
"You ......" asked her to ask, but she didn't know what to ask, how to ask. There are so many things in him that are incomprehensible. Cherry had to pick one at random: "Although there are some nobles in this palace, but you are also a prefect, why should you swallow your anger in front of the pair of men and women just now, and make that annoying appearance?" ”
Li Muze's face was calm, but Cherry could see that he was hiding the bitterness and pain very well: "This is also the answer you asked me, why I have a noble status, but I want to be the demon king of the world in the eyes of the world." I say that, you get the idea, right? ”
"This ......" Cherry was even more confused: "How do I understand?" ”
"Why, haven't you heard?" Li Muze smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his hands lightly: "That's right, the thing is what you heard, the reason why it is, according to your cleverness, I don't need to explain." ”
"What did you hear?" Cherry was even more puzzled: "Is it okay for you to make it clear?"
"You really don't know?" Li Muze was a little surprised: "Don't deliberately laugh at me about this." This matter, no joke. ”
"What are you kidding, I really don't know." She was dying.
"I ......" Li Muze took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up enough courage, took another breath, spit it out, and said slowly, word by word: "If I am really the son of the prefect, I don't have to be so careful, and I will be secretive." Actually, I am the third son of Zhou Qihuo, the king of Zhenbei, and I am not surnamed Li, but Zhou. It's a pity that my mother is a little girl, and I have no name and no point, so I became an illegitimate child. After my mother's death, there are small means everywhere that want to put me to death, and I have to be so bad and uninhibited, so that the king of the north of Bozhen is bored and drives me out. But after all, I am his own flesh and blood, and it is not good for me to live on the streets, so he handed me over to the childless Li Governor's Mansion. ”
He paused, rolled his throat hard, and continued: "Therefore, I must always maintain my title of 'Demon King of the Mixed World', and those who can't tolerate me in their eyes will be relieved, and they will not be able to hold back their hands in the prefect's mansion." The two people just now, one is my second brother, Zhou Mingyuan, and the other is my younger sister, Zhou Mingxuan. That's why when they saw me just now, they would have been like that. This is the way of the world, this is life. You say, "What fairness is there?" ”
Cherry opened her mouth, speechless. She was in utter shock. Li Muze's life experience is so tortuous and bizarre. No wonder she barely saw a smile on his face.
"I say that, you understand?" Li Muze pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, and his good-looking eyes curled up painfully: "Actually, Li Muze is Zhou Muze's business, and the whole city knows it, you can't know it, you just want to laugh at me, don't you?" ”
"I really don't know" Cherry solemnly, the conscience of heaven and earth, she really hadn't heard that the only son of the county prefect turned out to be the son raised by someone else. To be honest, she has only been here for less than a year, and her mind is not enough to focus on the one-third of an acre of land at home, so how can she have time to inquire about these gossip?
"Hehe, it doesn't matter." The wry smile on Li Muze's face faded, and he seemed to be very pleased with Cherry's reaction: "What else do you want to ask?" ”
Cherry opened her mouth and was mute again. All her questions were solved with the revelation of Li Muze's life experience, and there was really nothing to ask at this time. She looked at Li Muze in a daze, blinked, and spit out two words for a while: "It's gone"
