Chapter 003: Outwitting Trust
His Royal Highness the Prince took Gu Haonan and Mu Yang and his party to go back, where the mountains are steep, the strange rocks are craggy, the ancient trees are intertwined with each other, straight into the clouds, the mountains are full of clouds and mist, and no one knows how deep the mountain is. The mountain trails are extremely rough, and sometimes you have to dismount and walk.
"It's too tiring to eat this food, it's such a long walk!" Scar said.
His Royal Highness led the horse, smiled, and said, "This is not a simple hunt, this may be the farthest we have traveled west, and there will be similar explorations in the future!"
It turned out that Yuan Yueguo's visit to Chengyuan Village this time was not a simple robbery, this was clearly a way out, the purpose was for the next step, and their plan was not to end Chengyuan!
The forest was quiet, and suddenly a gust of wind swept by, which could not help but make people shiver, and in the depths of the mountain, there was a rustling sound, and the horses of the officers and soldiers could not help but scream, causing a commotion among the soldiers.
His Royal Highness the Prince waved his hand sharply, signaling the officers and soldiers behind him to stop advancing, he listened attentively, except for the whistling mountain wind, there was nothing, Scar looked around alertly, but found nothing, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, this is ....."
Scar waved his hand, Tie Qing's face suddenly dissipated, he walked towards Gu Haonan, and asked with a smile, "Who is that old Taoist just now, why did he save those young people?"
Gu Haonan turned his face to the other side suddenly, snorted in his mouth, and made a look of seeing death as if he was at home, without saying a word! Scar stepped forward, kicked Gu Haonan fiercely, and roared loudly, "Stinky boy, if the prince asks you, are you dumb or deaf?"
Gu Haonan ignored it, stubbornly tilted his head, like an old bull, so angry that Scar trembled, "Stinky boy, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you!"
Mu Yang knew very well in his heart that he was not scaring Gu Haonan with big words, for him, killing Gu Haonan and the three was as simple as killing an ant, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop, let me tell you!"
Everyone kept moving their eyes to Mu Yang, Gu Haonan glared at him, his eyes radiated hatred, and he roared loudly, "You thing with no conscience, how can you..."
"When is it, why can't you say it, you can't let him beat you to death!" Mu Yang interrupted Gu Haonan's words.
Gu Haonan resolutely said, "A gentleman has something to do, something not to do, the eldest husband stands up to the sky, even if he dies, what does it matter, how can he betray others for his own life and death?"
Mu Yang smiled and said, "What sacrifices for righteousness, what righteousness is awe-inspiring, that's all ghost work, you have to be a gentleman, you have to follow the ancients, be a pedantic person, I don't want to give Qingqing his life!"
Mu Yang no longer ignored Gu Haonan, smiled and said, "This Taoist priest, no one knows where he is from, he came to our village this spring, when he came, he was so hungry that he was about to die, and the people in the village saved him, since then, he has been in the village, teaching us to read some bullshit things every day, and sometimes teaching us to fight or something, this stinky Taoist priest has a bad temper, he said one, you must not say two, everyone calls him the Earth Evil Star Taoist!"
"Gibbon monkey, how can you say that about our teacher? He also taught us to read and practice martial arts, a teacher for one day and a father for life, how can you say that about a teacher?" Mu Yang's hands are super long, and his friends in the village call him a gibbon!
Mu Yang did not show weakness, and said, "He? He can be regarded as a teacher as a Taoist priest? What is a teacher for one day and a father for life? Can he care about us like Uncle Valley? Can he take care of us like Aunt Valley? It's really pedantic, I learned some half-understood things from books, and I just deceive myself here, what benevolence, righteousness and morality, what etiquette and shame, everything is illusory, people are not for nothing, heaven and earth are extinguished, and you know the times for a handsome man, you always like to raise the bar with me, you always like to rub grease and powder into the coffin, and you want to save face when you die!"
His Royal Highness the Prince saw them and I couldn't help but laugh, walked to Mu Yang's side, patted his leg gently, and said, "Okay, sincere, frank, I like you more and more, people live, you must be sincere and frank, say whatever you have, don't hold it in your heart, live, not live for others, but for yourself!"
As the prince spoke, he walked forward, Mu Yang hurriedly urged the horse to catch up, and couldn't wait to ask, "Prince, prince, in this case, see if you can help us unlock the acupoint, you see that this mountain road is so difficult to walk, you let us ride on the horse, in case..."
The prince smiled, waved his hand and motioned to Scar to relieve Mu Yang's acupuncture, Scar hesitated for a while, the prince smiled and said, "Are you worried that they will run? Look at these deep mountains and old forests on all sides, where can they escape? Besides, with you, where can the three stinky children go?"
Scar nodded, stretched out his hand to unlock Mu Yang's acupoint, Mu Yang jumped off the horse, walked side by side with Scar to Gu Haonan and Gu Changqin, and untied the acupoints on their bodies one by one, Mu Yang helped them off the horse one by one, and said, "Look, isn't this much easier?
Scar nodded proudly and said, "You are still sensible, you are right, those who know the times are Junjie, as long as you obediently listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, when you arrive in Yuanyue Kingdom, you will be the same as us, you are all the people of Yuanyue Kingdom, and there are countless glory and wealth waiting for you!"
Mu Yang hugged Gu Changqin and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will definitely not be worse than you when we grow up, and we must become the general of Yuan Yueguo!"
Scar laughed when he heard this, and said, "Good boy, no wonder the prince said that he likes you more and more, okay, ambitious, I'm waiting for you!"
As he spoke, he strode triumphantly to His Royal Highness, and the large army continued along the tree-lined mountain road.
After Scar left, Mu Yang pulled Gu Changqin and walked to Gu Haonan's side, Gu Haonan looked at him, ignored him, and said, "I can't believe that you are such a spineless person!"
Mu Yang said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to explain, you should walk slowly for a while, it is best to go to the back of the line, there will be heavy rainstorms in the mountains, flash floods will break out, as soon as you hear the sound, run back quickly, the faster the better, get out of here as soon as possible!"
Things in the world are often the opposite of what you see and hear, Gu Haonan has always misunderstood Mu Yang, he deliberately curry favor with His Royal Highness, and his purpose is to unlock the acupoints on his body, so that it is much more convenient to act.
Gu Changqin knew that Mu Yang was extremely sensitive to the weather, in Chengyuan Village, everyone knew that Mu Yang said that it was going to rain today, it must rain, this is an escape, and who doesn't want to escape? But she is reluctant to leave Mu Yang, everyone who is studying in Sixiang Academy knows that Gu Changqin loves Mu Yang deeply, and if anyone bullies him, even her brother Gu Haonan is no exception, "If you bully Mu Yang again, I will make you die an ugly death!" This has become Gu Changqin's mantra, she said in a low voice, "What about you?"
Mu Yang smiled and said, "I still have to follow that Scar and the prince and drag them as much as possible, so that you will have a better chance of escaping!"
"No!" Gu Changqin suddenly became excited, and the officers and soldiers in front and behind all looked at them.
Mu Yang smiled, raised his voice and said, "If you can't do it, forget it, you remember my words well, when you arrive in Yuanyue Kingdom, it's your fault that you don't want to be my daughter-in-law, okay, why don't you have a wife?"
As he spoke, he strode forward and caught up with Scar and His Royal Highness the Prince, Scar said with a smile, "Good boy, people are big ghosts, until now, I haven't forgotten to find a woman, I really have you!"
Mu Yang smiled and said, "This stinky woman, I really don't know what to do, if I knew this, I wouldn't let you give him a solution, let her have a good bump on horseback!"
When Scar and the prince heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and Scar said, "Boy, don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles, this thing is a mother-in-law, it's a beating, if you don't beat her, she won't listen to you, when you arrive in Yuanyue Kingdom, I will teach you how to tame your mother-in-law!"
"Okay, good, please give me a lot of advice!" Mu Yang nodded again and again.
The team continued to move forward, Mu Yang walked and looked behind him from time to time, he wanted to see if Gu Haonan and the two brothers and sisters walked to the back of the team as he said, Gu Changqin and the two brothers and sisters also looked at him from time to time, the three pairs of eyes radiated different feelings, Gu Changqin's eyes were hazy, it was a reluctant gaze, Gu Haonan was anxious, and Mu Yang was very anxious, wishing that the two brothers and sisters would leave quickly!
Gu Haonan whispered to his sister, "Listen to Mu Yang, we...."
"No, brother, have you forgotten what your father and mother said? The second elder told us, Wan instructed us, to let us protect Mu Yang, even if we lost our lives, we have to protect him!"
Gu Haonan knew that Mu Yang was everything in the world for his sister, and she cared for her well, far beyond his love for himself! He sighed softly and whispered, "I know you have him in your heart, but now is an extraordinary time, if you believe Mu Yang, he will do everything possible to bring us a letter, just to let us leave, we can't live up to his good intentions! Good sister, obedient!"
As he spoke, he took Gu Changqin's hand and leaned on the side of the road, with such a steep mountain road, who would pay attention to their brothers and sisters?
