Chapter 0518: Sikong Zhuo and Nangong Mo
After figuring out the origin of his companions, Su Qi, or Sikong Zhuo, who entered Shaluo City, faced a big crisis.
That is to deal with Nangong Mo.
He struggled to knock on the side, and only then did he understand the ins and outs of the matter from the mouths of Song Zhi and Chen Chuchu.
Nangong Mo is a person from the Darong Empire, originally born in a scholarly family, the surname Nangong is the same as Sikong, and also has an extremely ancient and glorious past, but compared to the Sikong clan, which has few people, the descendants of the Nangong clan are too many to count, some are cultivators, far away from the mortal world, and they don't care about these Nangong clansmen in the world, some of them control the country in the mortal dynasty, and the wealth is unspeakable, and some are ordinary mortals, who have not inherited the glory of the surname Nangong.
In the Darong Empire, the Nangong family is one of the Jiuqing, in charge of Darong's household, Nangong Mo's parents are the partial branch of this Nangong clan, but the relationship with the main family is not close, and there is not too much blessing, Nangong Mo's father is a minor official of Darong, full of poetry and books, so Nangong Mo has also been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, although it is not a noble girl, but it can also be called a lady from a scholarly family.
If it weren't for the later changes, she might have married a man with a good family and a promising future under her father's arrangement, or she might have become one of the few female officials in the Darong Empire like some of her predecessors and participate in court politics.
But things have changed, when she was twelve years old, her father was involved in a court struggle involving Jiuqing's position, because of the surname Nangong, Nangong Mo's father was imprisoned by the enemies of the Nangong family, if it was a normal period, the Nangong family would have kept this partial branch anyway for the sake of face, but at that time, the Nangong master was too busy to take care of himself, and he was tired of dealing with the enemy, and he couldn't take a hand to save Nangong Mo's family.
Her parents eventually committed suicide in prison, and at the age of twelve, she was beaten into an official prostitute in Yuefu, and taught in the music workshop for two years, fortunately, two years later, the Nangong master's family defeated the enemy and became the head of Jiuqing in one fell swoop, rehabilitating Nangong Mo's father, and also fished out the little girl Nangong Mo from the music workshop.
According to the plan of the Nangong master's family, he originally wanted to throw her to the ancestral land of the Nangong family to raise, and when she reached the age where she could marry, she would give a dowry and find a matching family to marry, which would not be considered to have wronged her, but Nangong Mo, whose parents died tragically in prison, categorically rejected the arrangement of the Nangong master's family, and chose to go away to the border of Darong with the little property left by her parents, and begged for a life there.
Two years of life in the music workshop made Nangong Mo become mature, knew the dangers of the world, relying on the qin he learned before, and several musical instruments learned in the music workshop, Nangong Mo joined a troupe, followed the troupe to wander around the frontier of Darong, and had the ability to support himself.
A year ago, Nangong Mo accidentally met Chu Dong's camel team recruiting people, and for some reason, this usually soft and weak woman actually chose to leave the troupe and asked to join Chu Dong's camel team with a firm face.
In any sense, Nangong Mo is not suitable to be a person who begs for a living in the desert.
Chu Dong also refused at first, but Nangong Mo was a very patient person, and he came to the door four or five times in a row, which finally made Chu Dong soften and promised to give her a chance.
It was also at this time that Sikong Zhuo and Song Zhi joined the camel team, and the three of them became newcomers in the same batch, following a camel team to Dajin to run business.
It was also during this trip that Sikong Zhuo fell in love with Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo used to be a lady, although she suffered a lot in the two years in the music workshop, but after all, she was a music girl, and her body was very delicate, and when she was in the troupe, because she was beautiful, no one would let such a delicate woman do any hard work, so she always looked soft and weak.
At that time, everyone in the camel team sweated for her, for fear that this beautiful woman who was not tall would die in the desert, and even Chu Dong spent a lot of money to buy a lot of medicinal materials and supplies, although he planned to test Nangong Mo, but he didn't want her to lose her life.
But no one thought that Nangong Mo not only gritted her teeth to support this trip to the camel businessman, but even as the trip deepened, she became more and more like a fish in water, perhaps because she was born in a scholarly family and learned things very quickly, among the three newcomers, she mastered the knowledge needed to travel through the desert faster than Sikong Zhuo and Song Zhi.
And because she could play many musical instruments, often played a few ditties to her companions during the rest of the team, and was beautiful, she quickly became the most popular person in the camel team, and when she left the camel team and joined the fourth camel team newly formed by Chu Dong, almost everyone expressed reluctance.
No one loves such a proud, strong woman.
Sikong Zhuo is like this, from the first time they traveled together, Sikong Zhuo's good impression of Nangong Mo was fully revealed, during the time when Nangong Mo had not yet adapted to the desert, Sikong Zhuo often reached out, and almost everyone around him could see that he liked Nangong Mo, and the interesting thing is that perhaps because of the long-term love, Nangong Mo also seemed to have a good impression of Sikong Zhuo.
Although there are also fights and interests in the camel caravan, but each camel caravan has to experience wind and sand and suffering together in the desert, so the members of the camel caraver, most of the relationship is good, for these two young people who have a good impression of each other, but have not been able to point out the two young people, most of the others return the kindness, occasionally laugh at the two sentences, make the two red-faced, but in fact there is no malice.
The most enthusiastic about this matter are Song Zhi and Chen Chuchu.
Although Song Zhi has no heart and lungs, and his personality is bold and rough, in his own words, it is 'Master, I am also a person who has been familiar with the Qinglou field', so he often gives advice to Sikong Zhuo, teaches him to send various gifts, and takes Nangong Mo to travel alone.
And Chen Chuchu and Nangong Mo have a very good relationship, she is the latest person to join the camel team, because they are all women, she has always been taken care of by Nangong Mo, so she has been taking care of Nangong Mo, so she has taken Nangong Mo's lifelong event as her top priority, and she is even more cautious about Sikong Zhuo, but after discovering that Sikong Zhuo has a good character, like Song Zhi, she began to secretly match this young man and woman.
For example, that day, she hinted that Sikong Zhuo gave Nangong Mo a necklace.
And Su Qi, who has become Sikong Zhuo, is also a big head for this kind of thing.
Because he had been thinking about one thing, did this camel team really exist, and Emperor Yun just reproduced it with a fantasy, or was it simply completely fictional?
If he really existed, his choices might not be the same as the real Sikong Zhuo, and the direction of what happened next could be very different from the real past, and this would most likely lead to the failure of his trial, so he had to be cautious and thoughtful about every action that might cause changes in the relationship between the caravan.
But if it is fictional, his every move is entirely based on his mind, and it is completely unknown where the real test is.
But no matter what, this necklace must be bought.
Because that's what Sikong Zhuo should do.
