Chapter 39: The Grain Is Burned
In this way, dozens of carriages rushed towards the outside of the city.
After walking for less than a stick of incense, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a stumbling made the sleeping Mu Tugui suddenly open his eyes.
"What's going on out there?"
Before Lin Zhao could answer, he heard a delicate voice, "Brother Mu, I heard that you are going to deal with the locust plague outside the city, can you take me with you?" ”
Jian Man didn't open the window, just by hearing Brother Mu's three words, she knew who the people outside were.
"This chick is really affectionate to you, don't you go out and have a look?"
Jian Man laughed and teased, but she was greeted with a faint white eye.
Pei Anan couldn't respond outside, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and when he looked at the two people in the carriage, his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
"Whoever told you to come up, go down."
In just a second, the man's face completely changed.
Seeing Jian Man, she was angry.
In order to let Mu Tugui take her, she could only have tears in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Brother Mu, I'm sorry!" I didn't know that Sister Jane was also in the car. ”
The curtain of the car was not drawn, and the two people in the car could clearly watch the teardrop from the corner of the woman's eye.
"Originally, I thought that Brother Mu was out alone and no one took care of me, so I came here secretly, but I didn't expect my sister to be here, and now I will definitely be beaten to death by my mother when I go back, what should I do?"
Pei An'an's daughter is not treated by the master's mother, which Mu Tugui has known for a long time, and now Pei Jingyuan is still doing things for him, and he really can't bear to see his only sister go back and suffer, so Mu Tugui can only agree.
Seeing the man nodding, the corners of Pei An'an's mouth were about to crack behind her ears, and seeing Jian Man was also relieved, her heart suddenly swelled with pride.
After what happened last time, these two people can still keep her by their side, doesn't this mean that they still have a chance?
That being the case, she will definitely not live up to it.
Pei Anan went out urgently and did not take the carriage.
Mu Tugui came here because Jian Man was riding in the same car with him, so he gave up the other one.
There was no choice but to sit in the carriage with the grain.
As soon as she got into the carriage, she smelled a strong smell of rice, and she couldn't stand it, so she hurriedly called Lin Zhao.
"Lin Zhao, can you put this grain in the back again, the taste here is too big."
"I'm sorry Miss, the back is already full, only this carriage still has a little vacancy, if you are not satisfied, you can only go by yourself."
Because of Pei Jingyuan, Mu Tugui endured Pei An'an everywhere, although Lin Zhao was very dissatisfied with this, he could only obey Mu Tugui's arrangement.
However, when the two got along in private, Lin Zhao did not give Pei Anan a good look.
"Then can you tell Brother Mu that I want to sit in a carriage with him?"
"Miss, it's not like you don't know that the prince doesn't like to ride in the same carriage with strangers, not to mention that the princess is still in the carriage, you go up like this, isn't it?"
Pei Anan's face was blue and white for a while, there was really no way, she had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
As soon as the carriage was moving, she regretted it.
In the carriage loaded with rice grain, there was not only a stench, but also a lot of small insects, although it was still some distance away from her, but I felt uncomfortable.
She picked up the fan left behind in the carriage and flapped it frantically on the seat, but it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket and to no avail.
There was really no way out, so the fire torch that I snatched directly from the coachman burned again and again towards the insects behind me......
"You really don't want Pei An'an to come and sit with us? The carriage with the grain was crowded, and she was a delicate little girl who probably couldn't stand it. ”
I couldn't help but think of the water hibiscus that day, the smooth skin, and the delicate face, which made her a woman swallow a mouthful of saliva for it.
"What, you're still in the mood to care about others, do you think our place is empty?"
Jian Man didn't dare to refute, and around her, she did feel that the surroundings were empty.
Not wanting to be bored anymore, Jian Man got up and was about to pour herself a cup of tea, when suddenly a stumble made her fall out of the carriage in an instant, if it wasn't for Mu Tugui grabbing her waist in time, I'm afraid she would have fallen under the carriage by now.
Before I could ask what was going on, a panicked voice came from behind.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
The two of them got out of the car and took a look, only to see Pei Anan's carriage on fire for no reason.
The horses were so frightened that they ran around, knocking over the grain carts behind them one by one, and in an instant, the sky was dark and oppressive.
A swarm of locusts swooped in.
Mu Tugui and Lin Zhao immediately evacuated with Jian Man and Pei An'an.
Half a cup of tea is less than enough, and a hundred stones of grain disappear.
Looking at the destroyed carriages one after another, the man's face was cold as if he could drip water, his dark pupils were covered with frost, and the dangerous aura seemed to be able to break people into pieces in the next second.
"Brother Mu, I didn't mean to, I just saw that there were too many insects in the position, so I wanted to drive away the fire, I never thought that it would cause such a big disaster, and I asked my brother to punish it!"
Pei Anan was also stupid by this scene, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Afraid that Mu Tugui would be bored with her, he hurriedly stepped forward to admit his mistake.
Looking at the petite person in front of him, Mu Tugui clenched his fists.
Now in the court, how many people want to see him look foreign, the arrival of this woman not only made him worry-free, but also made him the target of public opinion.
It's a pity that she is Pei Jingyuan's sister, otherwise......
"Yes, it's a good punishment, Lin Zhao, cut off one of her arms!"
Everyone was shocked, but Jian Man didn't mean to change his words at all.
"Sister Jane, what do you mean by that?"
This is what Pei An'an said, and it is also what Mu Tugui thinks in his heart, this woman has just come out of the cold palace, could it be that she has to be bold again?
"Do you know what great sin you have caused? These are the imperial grains given by the emperor, but now they have been made like this by you, together you should break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, cut off your arm, it is already considered my mercy, Lin Zhao, don't move quickly! ”
What Jian Man said was well-founded, Pei An'an was so frightened that his legs were weak at that time, and he ran to Mu Tugui crying and begging for mercy.
However, Mu Tugui didn't even look at her.
"What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly!"
Jian Man raised her eyebrows at Lin Zhao as she spoke, and seeing that Lin Zhao never moved, she got a knife herself.
grabbed Pei Anan's hand fiercely, and she raised the knife at that time.
"Don't, don't!" Seeing that the knife was about to be swung down, Pei Anan was so frightened that he closed his eyes directly.
Before Mu Tugui could come to the rescue, Jian Man suddenly stopped.
The expected pain did not hit, and Pei Anan's pale face was covered with cold sweat.
She looked at Jian Man with a look of surprise.
"I owe this arm today, you better remember this feeling for me, and if you dare to mistake my good deeds next time, I will immediately remove your arm."
