Chapter 146: The One Who Nears Ink is Black

My heart is cold, it's Xiao Mu again, how many friends does he have, and are all the people in this world on his side?

"I don't care what Mu You did, but if anyone wants to be unfavorable to him, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Wang Zhiyuan shook the sword in his hand: "Do you understand?" ”

I nodded timidly: "He's also a friend of mine." ”

"Then it's over, just because I haven't seen you tonight. It's curfew soon, why don't you go back soon? ”

"Yes."

Failed again.

I ran home as fast as I could, lying on the bed in a daze, feeling nothing more than chaos in my head. I still faintly heard the prince's words "Thank you Uncle Huang......", yes, I am sure I heard it correctly, the prince called Li Dongsheng "Uncle Huang", then Li Dongsheng ...... Who is he?

The "Mountains and Flowing Waters" in the study of Xiao Mu in the Assassin Mansion is the handwriting of King An! It's exactly the same as Li Dongsheng's handwriting! I doubted Li Dongsheng's identity at the beginning, but Li Huichun wrote two identical characters, and told me that it was called regular script in a serious way!

I held the book of alliance in my arms, I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up naturally, I just heard Cheng Laoliu beating the gong and passing by on the street in the distance.

It's time again, it's a habit to wake up at this hour every day, no matter what, life has to go on as usual, and besides, I have to verify Li Dongsheng's identity again by selling tofu.

Carrying a load of tofu and carrying a bucket of bean curd to the Jianghu Inn, I was so tired that my whole body was hot, I loosened my collar, and as soon as the stall was set up, a guest sat down.

"Do you want to eat bean curd? Freshly out of the pot. I beckoned, and when I looked up, I almost choked on my saliva.

Isn't he the one who made tea in the gazebo last night? Prince!

"Lang Jun, what's wrong?" One person asked, judging by his words and deeds, he was indeed somewhat similar to Steward Qian.

Two black-clothed men in strong suits also came out one after the other, the one in front was Wang Zhiyuan, and the one in the back should also be the prince's guard.

"Two bowls of bean curd." The prince said.

I avoided Wang Zhiyuan's gaze, bowed my head and said, "Okay, right away!" ”

"Lang Jun, the stall outside here is not clean." The little eunuch gave me a disdainful look and covered his nose with his hand.

"Then you go in and eat. Zhiyuan, Black Panther, you also go in and eat! ”

"Yes."

The three of them entered the inn, and I made two bowls of bean curd and brought them over, only to feel my hands trembling. Two bowls? Could it be that Li Dongsheng is also coming?

"Aren't you a buddy at the inn? Why did you sell tofu and bean curd at the door alone? The prince asked.

I felt my heart beat faster, I lied to him last night, which was a crime of deception, but fortunately he didn't know that I knew his identity, so I explained: "I sell tofu at the door every day, and if the shop is too busy, I go to help out and earn a little money." ”

"Nonsense!" A familiar voice came.

I took a step back in shock, and the back of my head hit the door panel. Xiao Mu! How did he get here? He was still dressed in a washed gray robe, carrying a silver-white cloth bag and holding a scroll in his hand.

"Mu You, here." The prince smiled, very casually.

Mu You sat down opposite the prince, put down the painting scroll, picked up a bowl of bean curd and took a big bite, before pointing to me and said: "This is my friend, Li Jianghu, a very honest person in the past, I don't know if it was influenced by me, now it is a lie, you must not be serious!" ”

"Hahaha, I believe it. There is a saying that 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black', and I have been with you for a long time, are there still honest people? You know how the sage instructed me when I went out, and he said: I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in Mu You's mouth! ”

"Really? Am I so virtuous in the heart of a saint? Mu You also smiled, and ate the bean curd again, looking leisurely and complacent.

"You eat slowly, you already have a bad stomach, and you don't know how to pay attention." The prince reproached and looked at me again: "What's it called?" Oh, Lee...... Jianghu, hehe, this name is the same as the inn. Hey, what the hell happened to you approaching me on purpose last night? ”

"I ......" My legs were weak: "Grass people Li Jianghu meet ......"

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you sorry for? You are a tofu stall owner who kneels down for customers, do you want people passing by on the street to think that we eat overlord meals? Xiao Mu picked up the scroll and pressed it against my chest, so that I could not bow down.

"You are Mu You's friend, you are my friend, just say something directly. It's not in the court, there are not so many rules. The prince said with a pleasant face.

I couldn't help but touch my chest again, do you want to take out the covenant book inside?

"What? Inconvenient to say? The prince was puzzled.

Xiao Mu smiled: "Of course it's inconvenient, don't I sit here, he's embarrassed to sue me in person?" ”

The prince glanced at the two of us: "You offended him?" ”

Xiao Mu nodded aggrievedly: "He said yes, but I never did anything to be sorry for my friend." You know me best, I've always been a friend to the soup, and I don't give up. ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it was a misunderstanding, it's good to make it clear." ”

"Okay, aren't you going to Gangneung yet? King Yong rebelled and made such a big mess waiting for you to clean up the mess. Still have time for me? Xiao Mu said, eating bean curd again.

The prince also took a bite of bean curd and looked at Xiao Mu again: "You really don't plan to help me?" ”

"Didn't I say it all yesterday? Can't! Xiao Mu stuck out his tongue: "I haven't entered the court yet, and someone has reported me for fornicating with the enemy country, if I enter Chang'an, how many days can I live?" ”

"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force it. But there's one thing you have to promise me! ”

Xiao Mu: "Say! ”

"Take good care of Uncle Huang for me......"

"Oops, I know!"

The prince slapped the table, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding yesterday, if Uncle Huang really became the second shopkeeper of the inn, but you let it go, see how I clean you up?" ”

Xiao Mu also slapped the table: "You dare!" As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and retched twice.

"Hehe, stop the anger! Are you alright? The prince immediately became gentle, patted him on the back, and continued to say sternly: "You can remember what I said yesterday, don't believe in those crooked ways and eat some messy pills, how can men and women be converted in this world?" With your ability, are you afraid that you can't find the right child? Adopt one, and when you are old, someone will give you the end. ”

"Okay, got it." Xiao Mu glanced at me, a little impatient.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. What is it? The prince picked up the scroll and unfolded it, and said in his mouth: "Mountains and flowing water." Isn't this what Uncle Huang gave you? ”

Xiao Mu nodded: "Take it away, he can write me a lot, I don't care about this." There is a way that bosom friends are hard to find, your road ahead will be difficult to walk, no matter how hard and tired and then wronged, what do you have to say to this word in your heart, I believe we will always support you. ”

"Okay." The prince carefully rolled up the scroll, and even his eyes were moist.

"It's time to go, it's inconvenient for him to see you off."

"I know." After eating the bean curd in two bites, the prince pursed his lips: "Then take care of yourself." Zhiyuan, Black Panther, on the road! ”

"Lang Jun, have you eaten?" Wang Zhiyuan asked, glanced at Xiao Mu, and nodded slightly.

"I bought some cakes and brought two gourd milk, and I ate them on the way, hehe." The little eunuch flattered.

The guard who walked at the end turned around and hugged Xiao Mu with a fist before following.

"It's all gone, what else are you looking at? If you have evidence, you don't come out sooner, you miss the opportunity! Xiao Mu teased.

I pretended not to understand: "What evidence?" ”

Xiao Mu tilted his head and looked at my chest: "The book of the alliance! Evidence of my fornication with the enemy. ”

"You know everything?"

Xiao Mu smiled faintly: "I'm a Qincha, I'm the biggest here, and there are still things I don't know?" Oh, there's something you don't know yet, right? It's Siyu, after giving you the task yesterday, I waited until the curfew, brought twenty killers, and prepared to sneak into the inn to assassinate the prince, but as soon as I walked to the door, I was caught by the Tianyan team and the people of Wu Changshi in one fell swoop, and today I just rushed to Chang'an with the lord of Xiang. So, what about that book of alliance on you? ”

I thought about Wang Zhiyuan's words last night, Xiao Mu was his savior, so what about him? In order to repay the favor, whether you are willing to be Xiao Mu's eyeliner and monitor everything in the court. Who reported Xiao Mu, who did the sage send to investigate, and the journey along the way...... Xiao Mu should be clear.

There is also another guard of the prince, the black panther, who also saluted Xiao Mu respectfully before leaving, and may have something to do with Xiao Mu.

That's it, even the prince is Xiao Mu's friend, what else is there to say.

I took out the book and spread it on the table: "What do you want to do with me?" ”

"Hmm...... It's a good commendation! Xiao Mu thought for a while, and pointed to the shop with a seal next to it: "Although the shop is not big, it should be no problem to set up seven or eight tables, and you can also support a mill in the back, so that you don't have to work hard to carry the burden so far every day, and you don't have to send people under the fence, what do you think?" ”

Have a shop of your own, no longer send people under the fence, no longer worry about wind and rain...... I'm really impressed. But...... Are these all Wang Jiajia's lives in exchange?

"Are you bribing me?" I asked hatefully.

Xiao Mu said disdainfully: "Is this necessary?" You take a closer look at this alliance, all the content is written by the Xiangzhu, I signed a name, and it is also in regular script, this font, especially easy to write, I don't believe you let Li Dongsheng Li Huichun they write my name to see, to ensure that it is exactly the same. ”

"What about the mudras? Can their handprints be the same as yours? ”

Xiao Mu smiled and shouted, "Ah Wu, take a blank piece of paper and a piece of ink." ”

After a while, Ah Wu put things in front of him.

Xiao Mu stretched out his right thumb, dipped it in the ink, and stamped the fingerprint on the white paper: "Look, is it the same?" ”

I carefully compared, and Ah Wu also made a comparison curiously, and both shook their heads slightly.

"You're sure you got this fingerprint." I asked.

Xiao Mu Zhengyan said: "Respect the right, such a formal alliance, which one does not print this finger?" If you don't believe it, I'll print it again, I'll have another one, and I'll look at this again! ”

Xiao Mu angrily printed the thumb of his left hand again, and then simply dipped the fingertips of both hands in the ink and printed them one by one.

Ah Wu and I carefully compared, but none of them could match.

Xiao Mu saw that we were busy, and his mouth was deflated: "I died unjustly, just because someone wrote my name, I became a sinner who fornicated with the enemy country?" ”
