Seventy-one: Woman, Son, Daughter
"Haha... Ha ha... Haha"
This time, not only everyone in the study laughed, but even the white-faced scholar Xiao Yun, who had just pushed the door in, laughed heartily.
Here comes the gentleman. You may be seated. Li Muzhi glanced back at Xiao Yun, whose face was becoming more and more pale, and motioned for An Yang to go up and support Mr.
An Yang was also overjoyed when he saw someone coming, and quickly came to the door of the study, supported Xiao Yun on the other side, and came to the soft chair next to the Beast Horn Bingjian and sat down.
"You stand down first." An Yang instructed lightly towards the young and beautiful maid on the other side.
"Yes, Lord Shire."
When Xiao Yun leaned back on the soft chair, the maid bowed to everyone and withdrew from the study very respectfully.
Seeing that the door of the study closed again, An Yang couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Xiao, how is it?" Who is trying to harm me? ”
Anyang has no other people to take care of, as long as it is in the palace and has the support of his father, she is not afraid of anyone.
Facing the straight gaze of the county lord of Anyang, Xiao Yun clenched his right hand into a fist, put it to his lips and coughed lightly a few times, until a sickly flush appeared on his cheeks, and then he eased up a little.
The county lord of Anyang hurriedly picked up a cup of ginseng tea, held it in front of Xiao Yun with both hands, and said worriedly, "Mr. drink a cup of ginseng tea first to moisten your throat." ”
After taking a few sips of ginseng tea, Xiao Yun put down the celadon tea cup in his hand, and there was some hoarseness in his voice, and slowly said, "The county lord must know who is behind the scenes?" ”
The county lord of Anyang frowned together, and the expression on his face was more dignified.
Hearing this, she had already guessed most of it in her heart, her eyes looked at Li Muzhi, the king of Nan'an, on the side, and smiled bitterly, "Doesn't my father want me to know?" ”
Li Muzhi's expression was strange, and he pretended to be angry and said, "How come? Your life is at stake, how can my father protect others? ”
"However, when your Uncle Xiao asked this, he naturally had his deep meaning. You might as well listen to his opinion. Li Muzhi looked at the white-faced scholar Xiao Yun, and his old face was horizontal, "Mr. If you have something to say, just say it, don't always hide it." Could it be that I can't protect my Anyang anymore? ”
He winked at the county lord of Anyang, "Did you say that my father loves you the most." ”
Speaking of favor, the entire Nan'an Royal Mansion knows that the little county lord of Anyang is the pearl of the prince's palm.
The prince can be said to be very fond of the little county lord, but whoever dares to hurt the county lord will not survive the day.
In the palace, there was no overnight thing.
But last night, the little county lord of Anyang was assassinated by the dead soldiers raised by the palace near Changle Fang, and more than a dozen guards under her were killed and wounded.
And the group of dead soldiers who assassinated the county lord of Anyang, they survived last night, which is already very illustrative of the seriousness of the problem.
The little county lord of Anyang showed two shallow dimples and smiled brightly, "I listen to Uncle Xiao, and I will do whatever Uncle Xiao says." ”
Xiao Yun took another sip of ginseng tea, looked at the little girl in front of her softly, and gently rubbed the hair on her forehead with her shriveled palm, "Okay." The dead have already been killed, so let's do it first. When you go out of the house to play in the future, the prince will send you more secret guards. ”
Although Xiao Yun's words are very light, the implicit meaning is that even if Anyang is still a little girl, how can she not understand it if she was born in the big dye vat of Nan'an Palace.
"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Xiao."
The little county lord of Anyang held Xiao Yun's shriveled palm with both hands, slowly got up, leaned over to look at the weak scholar in front of him who had always been so pale, squeezed out two lines of tears from the corners of his eyes, and sobbed, "Uncle Xiao should take care of your own body, Anyang will be sensible." ”
"I'll go back and rest first, so I won't disturb my father and uncles first."
An Yang slowly let go of his hands, bowed slightly to everyone, turned around and left without looking back, walked very resolutely, his shoulders trembled from time to time, he should have cried very sadly.
Hearing the door of the study close again, Li Muzhicai, the king of Nan'an, let out a long sigh and scolded, "Li Xin, this idiot! ”
"It's not him."
Xiao Yun reached out and took a small plate of lychees from Bingjian, one bite at a time, and enjoyed eating it very much.
"Not him?"
Qingshu Daoist Lu Haocheng and Poison Gu Monarch Marquis Zhang Jubai both showed a look of surprise.
Soon, Li Muzhi's angry voice was heard again, "He's still a fool!" It can be used by a woman! ”
"I can't blame the fourth lady, who is his son after all. has been sent out by the prince since he was a child, but now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The fourth lady didn't dare to blame the prince, how could she not hate the Xu family? ”
"Those people under the prince just wanted to be loyal to their master, and they did a lot of things. I almost caused a disaster, and this incident is also because I didn't train my subordinates well. Xiao Yun coughed lightly, spit out a lychee core, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
However, it was not easy for the boy to recognize the roots of those dead men at a glance. Could it be that what the Yin Yang Cult said was true? ”
Zhang Jubai tightened the quaint and shabby Gu robe on his body, looked at Xiao Yun lying on the soft chair, and frowned slightly, "I'm curious, why is the little county lord suddenly so interested in that kid?" They've only met twice, right? ”
"Yes, but this matter is strange!" Li Muzhi also reacted at this time, even if his daughter was in love, she would not be so obsessed with a teenager.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study. Soon the voice of the palace steward was heard. "Lord, lord. Mu Yunliang of Diaoyutai entered the city. ”
"If you enter the city, you will enter the city, what a fuss!"
Li Muzhi, who was worried about his daughter, snorted coldly outside the study. He was very dissatisfied with the butler disturbing him at this time, and if it was usual, he would not be so angry.
But his daughter was almost killed by her own woman who sent her son, and all this turned out to be because of a teenager.
There was silence outside the study for a moment, and the housekeeper's anxious voice came again, "Lord Wang, then Mu Yunliang went directly to the Xu family." ”
"The Xu family?"
"The Xu family on Xuanwu Street?"
"Xu Fan?"
There were three people in the study, and one person thought of it at the same time.
Li Muzhi's eyes were gloomy, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, and the loving expression he had just given in front of the little county lord of Anyang was gone, leaving only the coldness and majesty of the king of the army.
"Is that kid really a great monk? The secret of the Xu family's ban was taken away by that kid? ”
Li Muzhi slapped the armrest of the seat suddenly, and he didn't know what kind of fierceness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "Mu Yunliang is really fast." ”
"Lord Wang, I can't be in a hurry at this time. The spies we sent into the Xu Mansion didn't find out either. Now that the Xu family in Guangling Mansion is in ruins, it is easier to send monks there, but nothing has been found. ”
"What is the forbidden place of the Xu family, it has always been a rumor in the Yin-Yang Academy. The Yin Yang Evil Sect only found some clues in the classics. ”
"If it weren't for the forbidden place of the Xu family, how could that kid become a great monk? If it weren't for the Great Cultivator, how could Mu Yunliang easily set foot in Jinling City? ”
"Although the five great families are at peace with the court, they even promised the court to contain the king. Who can guess what the five old guys are thinking? Now, Mu Yunliang entered Jinling City just to find a helper. ”
"This king, he can't believe it. I just want to see if that kid is a great monk. ”
Xiao Yun coughed lightly and dropped the last lychee in his hand, "The little county lord of Anyang has a two-sided relationship with Xu Fan, once at the official post of Jiming Station, and once outside the Fu family's mansion. The second time can be regarded as saving Xu Fan, it's better to..."
Without waiting for Xiao Yun to continue, Li Muzhi decisively waved his hand and refused, "How can this king exchange his daughter." ”
"Why don't I go myself?" Seeing that the two were arguing, Qingshu Daoist decisively interjected, and at the same time lifted the Qingfeng long sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed from the scabbard.
The corners of Zhang Jubai's mouth twitched, "Let my gadgets try, if you go, the goal is too obvious." ”
"This matter is not urgent, this king should go and warn some people, so as to save them from ruining our big things."
Li Muyi threw off his robe and got up to leave, with a touch of anger on his body, he was really annoyed by the fact that this attack and killing occurred in the mansion.
......
Mu Yunliang entered the city and went directly to Xu's house on Xuanwu Street.
This news quickly spread throughout the mansions of the major families in Jinling City, and even the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Yamen, and the Jinling Mansion all received the news.
Some small families and merchants didn't know what this meant, but those old guys hiding in Jinling City had an extremely keen sense of smell.
The four housekeepers who had just walked out of the Fu family's mansion frowned at the same time when they saw dozens of blue-striped fish bags on Xuanwu Street, and everyone had only discussed before to mobilize the connections of the four major families in the officialdom and make the Xu family pay the price.
It had only been half a day, and their deliberations had come to an end.
"Third Master Fu, this matter. We have to discuss again, and the old man must go back to the house at once to tell our master. ”
Wang Ping's right hand under his sleeved robe was clenched into a fist tightly, and the planned interests were about to be ruined, and he was very anxious.
Without waiting to greet the others, he hurried into the carriage and ordered someone to drive back to his house as soon as possible.
The stewards of the Lu family, the Wen family, and the Li family also left in a hurry.
After Mu Yunliang entered the city, he didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to the Xu family on Xuanwu Street, what this matter meant, they didn't know, but the matter that they planned to make the Xu family pay the price had to be shelved.
This means that the money and food given to the Governor's Mansion by the five great families have to be paid by themselves, and no one will help them fill this hole.
On the same street, in front of the main entrance of the Xu family's mansion.
Xu Fan led the Xu family and personally sent Mu Yunliang to the carriage.
Watching the drivers and people of Diaoyutai slowly disappear outside the stone archway on Xuanwu Street, Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, Xu Yuhui and the Xu family can finally exhale.
"Brother Fan, you said that Lord Mu really won't blame?"
"No, it won't. Grandpa Ji, don't forget, I'm a monk now. ”
Xu Fan gently rubbed Xu Ji's shoulders, led everyone back to the house, and laughed loudly when he crossed the threshold. "In the future, in this Jinling City, no one will dare to bully our Xu family."
Xu Fan's laughter was loud, and his voice was not small.
The people outside didn't know what Mu Yunliang and Xu Fan had talked about, but the few silver-veined fish bags who were accompanying the carriage knew very well that they had all experienced it personally.
"Father-in-law, that kid is too arrogant!" Mu Xingchen looked angry and snorted coldly. "How dare you refuse my father-in-law's invitation."
"If you can one day have the strength of a great monk, you can also be so arrogant!" Mu Yunliang sighed lightly and moved his palm, which was still numb.
In Pinzhu Xuan, when he got up and personally helped Xu Ji sit down, he and Xu Fan secretly fought against each other.
The two just touched lightly, looking at the numb position of their palms, there was a faint qi machine scurrying around, and Mu Yun's conscience was even more tumbling, like a stormy wave.
