Wu Du was also shocked and asked, "Changliu-kun, where are you from?"
"I'm originally from Banan." Changliu Jun replied, "Before I started, my surname was Sun, and the cursive character was 'Qi Zhao'. My ancestors belonged to the Sun family in Xichuan, and they were all scholars. Scattered, during the reign of Emperor Xiao, there was a champion in the clan. As an official for many years, my grandfather was involved in a case of fraud in the imperial examination, and the whole clan was exiled. That year, before I was enlightened, I was taken away by Mrs. Gongsun and entered the White Tiger Hall. middle."
"When I was young, my mother and Mrs. Zhao of the Zhao family, a salt merchant in Tingzhou, were sisters. I also had a marriage contract with Miss Zhao's fingertips." Lord Changliu added, "Later, my grandfather committed an accident, and the Zhao family was responsible for the marriage. To avoid being implicated, I will not mention it again. Three years later, Enke and Mu Kuangda went to Shangzi from Pingyi in Xichuan to take the exam. They passed through Zhao’s house and met Miss Zhao after staying overnight. She was even more appreciated by her father, so they betrothed their daughter to him.”
Later, Duan Ling knew about it... But he never imagined that there are so many hidden secrets in the life of Lord Changliu!
"She is Mu Qing's mother." Duan Ling said in a trembling voice.
Lord Changliu nodded and said, "Mu Kuangda only wants her family to support her. After getting married, Mu Jinzhi pushed her out. She was unhappy in the Mu's house all day long. When I came to the minister's side, I followed Master's orders and always With Yibu masked, in these years, most of the people who have seen my appearance have become ghosts under the sword.
But she still remembers me, because when I was four years old, she pushed me down, and I got a scar on my forehead, and she recognized me. It was a long time later that she told me about this... I couldn't hold back for a while, and wanted to take her away, but the shepherd's family was in full swing, and I had the teacher's door to explain, how could I just leave
Not long after she gave birth to Qin'er, she became ill, and I was still out doing errands, so I didn't have time to come back and see her. "
"Is Mu Qing your son?" Duan Ling's voice trembled.
Changliu-jun didn't answer, his eyes looked away, his eyes under the hood squinted slightly, as if with a smile.
"Anyway, I've told you all." Changliu-jun got up and said, "Forget it, all these years, I always wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one dared to talk, let alone talk."
Duan Ling didn't ask why Changliu-jun didn't go back now and take Muqing with him. Once Li Yanqiu was angry, even if his men chased to the ends of the earth, they could find Muqing and Changliujun. He did not want to take his only son to the days of hiding in Tibet.
"That's why I didn't think about killing you." Changliujun said, "I just want to choose you from this matter, because Qing'er likes you, if I kill you, he will be very sad when he finds out. It's because I'm too stupid, I can't turn my head around, since you invited him to be the prefect of Hebei, you should have known, you have never been a shepherd."
Duan Ling's heart was up and down for a while, and he wanted to tell him the truth. But Wu Du finally woke up from the shock and said, "Let's do this first, you and I need to think about it carefully, and then we can discuss it later."
Changliu-jun nodded, the sky was already bright, Duan Ling was really exhausted that night, went back to the room and lay down, his mind was still in chaos.
"Damn." Wu Du was still full of surprise, and said, "Changliu-jun, this kid actually has a son? You're not too timid!"
Duan Ling said helplessly: "You want it too?"
"It's enough to have you." Wu Du said with a look of fear, "I can't even raise you as a son."
How to do it? believe him? Of course, Duan Ling couldn't just believe what Changliu-jun said. He had to investigate first, otherwise if Mu Kuangda made up a story, he would not know how he died.
But if what Changliu-jun says is true, there is an explanation for everything - there is a reason for his loyalty. At first, it may have been because Mu Kuangda treated him as a guest, but after Mu Qing was born, he would not leave.
Looking back on the past, Lord Changliu also accompanied Muqing a lot, but whenever there was nothing for him to do, they would always be together. Whatever Muqin said, Lord Changliu did what he did, obeyed and obeyed, never disobeyed.
When Muqing was kidnapped that night, Changliu-jun's anxiety finally had an explanation.
Duan Ling thought about it and decided to confirm Changliu Jun's life experience first, and then decide the next step. Now he doesn't want to kill Changliujun anymore, he has to admit that this plea is very useful.
"How old is Lord Changliu?" Duan Ling asked Wu Du again.
"More than 30." Wu Du said, "I usually cover my face, so I can't tell my age."
For many years, Duan Ling could vaguely imagine that the city of Shangzi was broken that year, and the assassins all looked like teenagers when they went down the mountain. Time flies like an arrow, time flies like a shuttle, more than ten years in the blink of an eye.
When he woke up the next day, Duan Ling went out, and the people in the house were almost gone.
Wu Du was putting up the couplet outside the door himself, and Lord Changliu was watching. He changed his clothes, did not pierce the guest clothes, and put away the mask, just like an ordinary warrior in the mansion, when he saw Duan Ling Still a little embarrassed, he nodded.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Duan Ling asked.
"It's okay." Chang Liujun said, "I'm just a little worried."
Duan Ling replied: "Nothing will happen, I will write back to Jiangzhou today."
Wu Du glanced at Duan Ling and said, "It's posted, let's take a look."
"Not bad." Duan Ling applauded after seeing it.
Wu Du gave another poison to Lord Changliu, but he did not abolish his kung fu like he did to Lang Junxia, but this poison requires an antidote on the first and fifteenth day of every month to survive.
Duan Ling wrote a letter and had him sent back to Jiangzhou, asking Li Yanqiu to help him investigate what Changliu had said earlier. Although he had already come to a conclusion in his heart, Mu Qing's personality was indeed not like Mu Kuangda, nor did he look a lot like him. Poor Mu Kuangda was deliberate, trying to use Mu Jinzhi's stomach to take over Li's country, but his own backyard was taken advantage of, which is really ironic.
Perhaps in the dark, there will be another revenge, which is also due to fate.
It was New Year's Eve that night, and Changliu-jun was drinking with the guards in the concierge himself. Duan Ling first changed into formal clothes with Wu Du, paid tribute to Li Jianhong and Duan Xiaowan, and paid respect to Wu Du's master and wife.
Up to this point, Duan Lingfang had the feeling of starting a family with Wu Du. They did not worship the heavens and the earth, nor did they worship their parents, but they had become a family unknowingly and accompanied each other.
"What should I eat first?" Duan Ling asked.
Usually it was arranged by Wu Du, but today Wu Du was a little absent-minded. Thinking of the past in Baihutang, he replaced Duan Ling to serve him.
"Whatever." Wu Du said, "Let's laugh, it just exploded in the morning."
Duan Ling went to the kitchen to get some snacks and distributed some to the guards. Back in the hall, I talked with Wu Du in a low voice, talking about the past year, when Wu Du had to put on armor to march to fight, and carry a sword to kill and poison, go out to make money, wash hands and cook at home, Duan Ling was only responsible for asking "What should I do?" When he thought of it, Duan Ling also felt funny.
No wonder they all want to start a family, and when they become a family, they seem to have support.
Duan Ling carried the pot and said to Wu Du, "I'll give you a cup of respect to the master, the master has worked hard."
Wu Du looked at Duan Ling with interest, his eyebrows moved, and he said, "For you, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."
The two toasted each other and drank each other. They didn't mention many troubles that night. They just remembered the past. In the end, Wu Du got a little drunk and got up again to teach Duan Ling to dance the man's Hu Xuan dance. Wu Du is tall and tall, his robe flutters when he steps on the road, he is valiant and very handsome.
After arriving, Wu Du carried Kublai Khan's golden sword on his back again, and played the wrist-wrist swordsmanship. Duan Ling took the Lie Light Sword and played with him. In the end, Wu Du took Duan Ling into his arms, and the two laughed.
Jiangzhou, New Year's Eve.
In the pastoral house, there was a big feast like in previous years, but this year there were two fewer people.
One is long-term employment, and the other is Lord Changliu.
The shepherd had something to do, and the people who came to the banquet speculated that whenever Changpin was not around, something would happen in the court more or less.
Mu Kuangda's expression was the same as usual, like a spring breeze, talking and laughing, but there was an unnoticeable haggard between his eyebrows. Two of Mu Xiang's disciples, Wang Shan was in Hebei, and Huang Jian came alone to celebrate the New Year with Mu Kuang. What they talked about was nothing more than about the achievements of the junior and senior teachers in Hebei.
Mu Kuangda was obviously very satisfied with Huang Jian's words, and nodded again and again.
"When spring begins, the salt inspector's appointment will come down." Mu Kuangda said, "You must not lose to Wang Shan."
Huang Jian hurriedly said yes, and then said to Mu Qing, who was beside him, "Don't be too tired."
"No." Mu Qing said, "I slept more and wrote less."
Everyone was embarrassed for a while, and Mu Qing laughed. After the palace exam, he entered the Wentai Pavilion to assist the scholars in their history studies. He read a lot and wrote less.
"You remember to enter the palace later." Mu Kuangda said, "This year the palace only held a family banquet, I don't know how your majesty is."
Huang Jian nodded and said, "Your Majesty's order says that there is no need to waste anything, and it is good to be quiet for a year."
While the master and apprentice were talking, they suddenly heard a communication from outside.
"His Royal Highness is visiting—"
During the banquet, the family members of the Shepherd's House hurriedly got up, and the female family members retreated behind the screen. Mu Kuangda has many cousins, cousins, and distant relatives who are officials in the court. Hearing that the prince is coming, he is busy preparing to kneel and worship.
When Cai Yan came, his face was full of spring breeze, and he also had an imperceptible haggard on his brows. When he arrived, he said, "Zhongqing is flat."
After getting this sentence, everyone got up one after another and sat down without daring to move their chopsticks.
"Yo." Cai Yan smiled, "I finally found a lively place, come, Feng Duo, Wuluohoumu, let's just grab a few glasses of wine."
Feng Duo and Lang Junxia followed behind Cai Yan, and Feng Duo said, "His Royal Highness has come all the way, and only the Prime Minister's mansion is bright."
"Don't dare." Mu Kuangda hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please."
Mu Kuangda asked Cai Yan to sit on the seat, and Feng Duo went to arrange a reward list, and those who sat at the table were rewarded according to their official positions.
