Tao Mo looked him up and down, "Your Excellency?"
"Under Muchun." Muchun cupped his fists, with a bit of chic in his gentle manner, "It's an old acquaintance of Lao Tao."
Hao Guozi frowned and said, "How did you find this place?" When they left their hometown, they never told anyone.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to catch up with friends."
Hao Guozi gave a dry cough and muttered, "I didn't say you were malicious, there is no money here."
"In that case, you come with me." Even though Tao Mo wanted to go after Gu She, he couldn't let go of this thought at this moment, and led Mu Chun back to the county office. In fact, he is also very curious about the relationship between Mu Chun and Lao Tao. For some reason, seeing this Mu Chun, he couldn't help but think of the old club that Tao had mentioned. Could it be that he is really from the old club.
Mu Chun smiled in response to his frequent gazes, never showing any displeasure.
After entering the county government office, Hao Guozi had a heart, and asked Mu Chun to wait outside, while he and Tao Mo talked to Lao Tao first. In case some dubious person came to the door, it would be easy to discuss how to deal with it.
When Lao Tao heard that someone was looking for him, his expression changed first, and then he was startled when he heard the other person's name was Mu Chun.
Hao Guozi watched his words and expressions, and lost his voice: "Could it be that the illegitimate son of Lao Tao and his good friend came to the door?"
Old Tao suddenly stared sideways at him.
Hao Guozi shrinks her head.
"What did you just say?"
"No, I didn't say anything." It was the first time Hao Guozi saw Lao Tao's stern expression, so he dared to admit it.
Old Tao said: "You said he can be my son at his age?"
Hao Guozi was taken aback by the sudden change of the subject, and nodded after a while, "Indeed. He looks not much older than the young master."
"Mu Chun?" Lao Tao frowned, "Is he..."
"It's right here." Mu Chun walked in from the outside with a smile.
Hao Guozi put his hips on his hips and said, "Why do you just wander around without passing through?"
Mu Chun cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry." But his eyes kept looking at Lao Tao.
At this moment, Lao Tao had calmed down, and there was no trace of any emotional fluctuations on his face, "So it was Mr. Mu who came."
Mu Chun smiled and said: "It's easy to talk about. I have admired Tao Tao's reputation for a long time, but seeing him today, his reputation is really well-deserved."
Old Tao said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and there are talents from generation to generation. The world now belongs to you."
Mu Chun said: "You are too modest. Your feats of those years are still being passed down to this day, and my generation is full of admiration after hearing about it."
Lao Tao's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at him fixedly, as if he wanted to see a hole in that elegant smiling face.
Hao Guozi pulled Tao Mo, and whispered, "What are they talking about? What is a well-deserved reputation? What feat? Could it be that Lao Tao was a famous person before?" In fact, Lao Tao didn't enter the mansion for a long time, but he is capable. , Master Tao trusted him a lot, so in just a few years he became the chief manager of the Tao Mansion, and Master Tao trusted him on his deathbed.
Tao Mo pondered: "Maybe, he is from old Tao's old club."
"Old club?" Hao Guozi was startled, and then worried, "Then he won't ask Lao Tao back?"
Although the two spoke softly, they were too close to each other, making Mu Chun and Lao Tao pretend they didn't hear them.
Old Tao looked at Mu Chun, and said slowly: "Let's talk in the house."
Mu Chun smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."
After the two finished talking, they ignored Tao Mo and Mu Chun who were still standing there and looked at them eagerly, and walked towards Lao Tao's room.
Hao Guozi wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Tao Mo.
Hao Guozi opened her eyes wide, "Young master, don't you want to know what they are talking about?"
"think."
"Then let's go." Hao Guozi just moved, but was pulled back again.
Tao Mo said seriously: "Don't listen to indecent words."
"..."
When Lao Tao and Mu Chun talked, it was a night.
When Tao Mo got up in the morning, he saw Hao Guozi sneaking over, "I heard movement in the old Tao's house yesterday."
"movement?"
"The earth-shaking news." Hao Guozi said deeply.
Tao Mo asked in surprise, "Fight?"
"Who knows." Hao Guozi shook her head.
Tao Mo crossed the threshold and was about to run towards Lao Tao's room, but was grabbed by Hao Guozi. "you… "
Hao Guozi said solemnly: "Don't listen to indecent words... Young Master."
"..."
The result of the compromise was that the two sneaked together at the door of Lao Tao's room.
It was very quiet inside.
Hao Guozi said: "Could it be that you are tired from the fight and are sleeping?"
Tao Mo said: "There are so many rooms in the county office, why bother to squeeze them together?"
Hao Guozi said, "Maybe they want to squeeze."
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Hao Guozi and Tao Mo looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Could it be that Lao Tao and Mu Chun are... this kind of relationship
Tao Mo's heart suddenly felt extremely envious.
There was a pleasant conversation outside the room, but the atmosphere in the room was not as harmonious as they thought.
Mu Chun looked at Lao Tao with a half-smile and said, "Elder Lu still decides to stay here and not go out?"
Old Tao turned his head angrily, "How do you let me go out like this?" His old face was covered with bruises and bruises.
"It's better than your punches and kicks that specifically greeted my stomach." Mu Chun covered his stomach, grinning grinningly.
"At least you can't see it on the surface. How can you make me explain to the young master!" Old Tao kept looking in the mirror.
Mu Chun said: "I didn't expect Elder Lu to be really loyal to him."
Old Tao paused, "When I was hunted down, it was Master Tao who saved me. The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring, is there any fault?"
"I didn't say there was anything wrong, it's just that I didn't expect the day when Elder Lu would willingly surrender to others."
Lao Tao was silent for a long time before saying: "I was wrong at the beginning."
Mu Chun looks at him.
"Ming Zun is right." In just five words, everything he had done in half his life was written down.
Mu Chun was slightly moved. He knew that it was easy to kill someone like Lao Tao, but it was extremely difficult to get him to admit defeat.
"At least, I don't think it's possible to do better than him. However," Lao Tao changed the subject, "Please forgive me for disagreeing with the various things between him and Xue Yihou."
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I thought the matter of Xue Yihou and Ming Zun didn't need your approval."
Old Tao sighed, "I didn't expect the old one to be like this, and the young one to be like this."
Mu Chun said: "Elder Lu must be very clear about the purpose of my visit today."
Old Tao said: "I can't go with you for the time being."
"Oh." Mu Chun was not surprised by this answer.
"The young master still needs me." He paused, "At least until I'm sure that the young master is full-fledged and no longer needs me to accompany him."
Mu Chun smiled, "Elder Lu, how could you think... you still have room to bargain today?"
Old Tao smiled instead of anger, "Even though I lost all the games back then, I still left a lot of chess pieces on the board. If a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, let alone a human being?"
Mu Chun said: "I have also heard about the Tao Mansion. Revenge for the Devil's Sect is nothing more than a simple matter." Mu Chun said, "As long as Elder Lu is willing to agree to return to the Devil's Sect, I can still decide on such a small matter."
Old Tao said: "If you want revenge, I can do it alone."
Mu Chun said: "You want Tao Mo to avenge himself?"
Old Tao shook his head and said: "This world is where the weak eat the strong. Whether to take revenge or not, the young master should decide for himself. The only thing I want to do is to help him become a meat eater, not a meat to be eaten!"
Mu Chun said: "Rabbits don't eat meat."
Old Tao said: "He doesn't need to eat meat, he only needs a lion's heart."
Lion Heart Rabbit
Mu Chun thought about Tao Mo's appearance, and couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.
Lao Tao said: "This is my only wish. As long as the wish is fulfilled, I will kill or cut it up, and I will listen to you."
Mu Chun said: "You think Ming Zun will kill you?"
"As long as the wish is fulfilled, whether it is true or not is no longer important."
Mu Chun pondered for a long time, and said, "Why don't we make a bet."
"bet?"
"I thought Ming Zun would definitely spare your life."
Lao Tao remained calm. Though he is not afraid of death, he is not weary of life either. He knew that the person in front of him was one of Mingzun's most trusted confidantes, and there must be some basis for what he said, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Mu Chun said: "It's better like this. You go back to the mountain first, and Tao Mo will be taken care of by me for the time being. If you are not dead, you can naturally come back and continue to assist him. If you die, I promise you that he will be safe for the rest of his life." .”
Old Tao frowned.
Before he could speak, Mu Chun said: "Otherwise, you can only see the truth with the sword."
Lao Tao was silent, his eyes kept examining him. ,
Mu Chun looked calm.
for a long time.
Old Tao said in a deep voice, "It's a deal."
