Chapter 2 Reflections in Secret
Originally, in the life of the past 16 years, although Elder Mu often embarrassed his father and mother, he was always passable in terms of face. My father and mother are very affectionate, and there is no one else to disturb at home. Mu Hongyu has always lived a very comfortable life. But just a few days ago, such a superficial peaceful life was broken.
At this time, the man leaning under the big tree is Mu Hongyi, the eldest princess's sister-in-law, and the word is Yongqing. The world is called: Yongqing Little Marquis. Because he ranks ninth in the clan, some people call him the ninth master.
Although the little marquis is only 16 years old, he has a good appearance. not only inherited the tall figure of the Mu family, but also inherited the gentle and elegant appearance of the royal family. A better life experience is also one of the best in Shengjing. At a young age, in Shengjing, he was already the first choice for dignitaries to choose sons-in-law.
The little marquis was taught by the emperor's uncle since he was a child, and he was arrogant and extraordinary. When he reached the marriageable age, those old horsemen in Shengjing came to disturb him from time to time, and wanted to tell him about his daughters and the daughters of relatives. The little marquis was annoyed by the eyes of a group of people staring at the silver, and left Shengjing with his entourage on an inconspicuous day and came out to hide.
I never thought that I would come to this place called Ping'an County for more than a month, and it was reported that my mother was killed by mountain bandits on the way back to Beijing to pray for blessings from Fahua Temple, and my father sought revenge from mountain bandits to avenge my mother, but he was also killed.
The sudden death of his parents and the sudden change in his family made the originally pampered little marquis suddenly on the verge of collapse. But he is the only child in the family and needs to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with his parents' funeral. I don't care about anything else. Just when the little marquis was about to return to Shengjing with his servants, he never thought that a gang of assassinations would come immediately. He couldn't hide, so he sought the help of Wu Yongchang, the county guard of Ping'an County, but Wu Yongchang disobeyed the yin and made him fall into death again.
I think of the recent incidents one by one. It seems to be a coincidence, but there are inextricable links inside. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a premeditated plot. However, now that he is trapped here, he can only protect himself first, and is looking for an opportunity to avenge his parents.
Thinking of this, the little marquis said: "There should be a county seat near here, let's find a place to settle down first, and then make plans when we are well cultivated." ”
"Master, don't you go back to Shengjing to find the emperor to make decisions for us?"
The servant's name is Suifeng, and he grew up with the little marquis since he was a child. The recent events were too sudden, and he knew that things were not easy. Now that the master is weak, the best way is to go back to Shengjing to ask the emperor to be the master of his own family.
"I'm afraid this matter is not simple, and there must be many people who don't want me to return to Beijing. Now we are weak, and we don't know if the Mu family is involved, so let's investigate in the dark. It's just that I can't see my father and mother for the last time, it's because the child is not filial. ”
When the little marquis said this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Father, my son is not filial, and I can't go back to Beijing to see you off for the last time. After my son has investigated the matter and avenged you, he will go and plead guilty to you. The little marquis thought in his heart.
I heard that the master had a plan, and I also knew that the master must be unhappy now. The hateful thieves, when they know which of the king's sons are behind them, will not spare them.
"The little one sent a message to the dark one and the dark two, and they will come in about a short time." Thinking of this, Sui Feng also reported it to the little marquis.
For an identity like the eldest princess, the royal family will be assigned to the secret guard. The secret guard of the little marquis has also been selected and cultivated by himself since he was a child, and he is heartfelt.
When the little marquis left Beijing, the secret guard was originally with him. It's just that because he sensed that something was wrong on the road, he sent a secret guard to investigate. But I didn't expect that this was a trick used by the other party to divert the tiger from the mountain, but fortunately, he was highly alert, otherwise he would have been killed.
Thinking of this, the little marquis was annoyed with himself again. I still blame myself for being too young, and I easily fell for the person behind me. It's just that it's useless to regret it now, so I can only find a place to cultivate first and then make other plans.
"Hmm. When they come, you can bring them to me. There are some things that should be settled. ”
The little marquis looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said leisurely.
After resting for a while, the two got up and walked to the village below the mountain road.
At this time, the Liu family in Peach Blossom Village was very lively.
