Tao Mo and Hao Guozi were about to stare at a flower, and the door finally opened.
Mu Chun walked out first.
"Where's Old Tao?" Tao Mo asked.
Mu Chun sighed, "Last night we slept on the same bed, and Lao Tao accidentally fell off the bed..."
Tao Mo and Hao Guozi rushed in.
I saw Lao Tao lying on the bed sickly, with two obvious bruises on his face.
Hao Guozi said bluntly, "Why did you fall so badly?"
The corners of Lao Tao's mouth twitched slightly.
Tao Mo said, "Is it very painful? You have a good rest, I will call for a doctor right away."
"No need." Lao Tao covered his face and said, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter."
"It hurts your face, how can you ignore it?" Tao Mo frowned, "Anyway, it doesn't take much trouble to find a doctor."
"Actually, I have something to tell you." Old Tao changed the subject.
Tao Mo said, "What's the matter?"
"I think you must have guessed it. In fact, this Mu Chun is from my old club." Old Tao said, "He came this time to pass on a message for the old club, asking me to go back."
Tao Mo thought of all the grievances and grievances between Lao Tao and his old club, and worried: "Do you have to go back?"
"Don't worry. The old club has long forgotten the past. It's just that I haven't seen you for so many years, and I want to go back to catch up with you." Old Tao coughed dryly and turned to Hao Guozi, "After I leave, you have to take good care of the young master. What happened... Just listen to Mu Chun's opinion."
Hao Guozi asked suspiciously, "Mu Chun? Why did you listen to Mu Chun?"
Old Tao said: "Mu Chun has already agreed to stay. Although he is young, he is very experienced in dealing with people. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao reluctantly, and said, "I'm not related to him, I'm afraid it's wrong."
Old Tao knew that Tao Mo was introverted, and if he didn't make it clear, Mu Chun might be taken advantage of as the shopkeeper, so he said, "I'm a close friend with him. You can just use him with confidence and boldness."
Hao Guozi said, "Friends? But you look more like father and son."
Old Tao said: "The so-called confidant, you can meet but not seek. Now that you meet, how can you be so particular?" In fact, what he wants to say is, how can you have so many problems.
Hearing what he said, Tao Mo knew that the matter was irreversible, so he nodded in agreement.
Old Tao said again: "There is one more thing to avoid. Although Master Jin is hired by the young master as an aide, he has been enshrining in the Tanyang County Government for many years, and his relationship with the county government is unusual. Usually, it doesn't matter if you trust him half to half. But if the yamen is involved, it can only be trusted." He could see that Master Jin's attitude towards Tao Mo had changed, but he still had reservations. If he still stays here, he is not afraid that he will overturn the mountains and seas, but once he leaves, I don't know if Mu Chun will do his best.
Thinking of this, he looked at Tao Mo with worry.
Why is Tao Mo puzzled? But since he saw that it was imperative for Lao Tao to leave, he would naturally not add to his troubles, and said with a smile: "Just don't worry, I will be cautious. Anyway, there is still Mu Chun here, so I will ask more about things. He is."
Old Tao nodded, and said to Hao Guozi, "Go and wake up Mu Chun, I have something to tell him."
When Hao Guozi went out, Lao Tao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Even Mu Chun, you have to be careful."
Tao Mo was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, Lao Tao's expression returned to normal.
After a while, Mu Chun and Hao Guozi entered the door.
Lao Tao took out a key from his pocket and threw it at Mu Chun.
Mu Chun caught it in surprise.
Old Tao said meaningfully: "I will hand over all the property of the young master and the Tao family to you."
Hao Guozi was dumbfounded. This is... entrusted for life
Tao Mo also obviously misunderstood, he looked at Lao Tao and Mu Chun blankly.
Old Tao said: "Of course, when I come back, I still have to return it to me."
Mu Chun smiled and said: "It's natural." He said, turned to Tao Mo and bowed, "Master."
He has a pleasant voice, an outstanding appearance, and a personable and graceful temperament. Seeing that he was engrossed in himself, Tao Mo's heart skipped a beat, his eyes and ears were filled with a sense of ecstasy, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing Mu Chun looking at him suspiciously, Lao Tao hurriedly said, "Mu Chun and I have something to explain, Hao Guozi, you take the young master out first."
"Oh." Hao Guozi tugged at Tao Mo.
Tao Mo woke up, his face flushed immediately, and he hurried out the door after Hao Guozi.
When the two walked away, Mu Chun said thoughtfully: "I thought he was interested in Mr. Yi Yu."
Lao Tao got up from the bed neatly, and said: "My young master's vision has never been very good."
Mu Chun raised his eyebrows and said, "I think the Gu She he's taken a fancy to recently is not bad."
Old Tao said: "Do you know Gu She?"
"Not only do I know Gu She, I also know Gu She's origin and background." Mu Chun smiled like a spring breeze, but in Lao Tao's eyes, there was a sense of taking Joe as a gesture. But because of Tao Mo, Lao Tao had no choice but to lower his face and ask, "What is his origin?"
"Gu She is just his name, his character... Xianzhi."
"Gu Xianzhi... Gu Xianzhi?" Lao Tao's expression changed when he remembered his identity, "Why is he in Tanyang County?"
"You can be in Tanyang County, why can't he be in Tanyang County?" Mu Chun is still the old god.
Lao Tao frowned and said: "If he is Gu Xianzhi, then the young master must not let him have any more contact with him!"
Mu Chun raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? Doesn't Gu She's status and background just happen to be Tao Mo's backer? With him around, not to mention the father-in-law enmity, it's not difficult to get ahead in the officialdom."
Old Tao said: "Since you know what the young master has in mind for Gu She, why do you say such things?" The implication is that he obviously has doubts about whether he can take good care of Tao Mo.
Mu Chun smiled and said: "There are no absolutes in the world. How did you think that Hou Ye would fall in love with Ming Zun?"
This is indeed something he never thought of. Lao Tao admitted that when he heard the news, he was stunned for two whole days before recovering. He originally thought that even if Mingzun cut off his sleeves, the opponent should also be the Darkzun. After all, the old Mingzun and the old Darkzun had precedents. He didn't want to think that both Mingzun and Darkzun had cut off their sleeves this time, but one chose the Demon Sect. Opponent - Brilliant Gate. One chose the other enemy of the Demon Cult—Xue Yihou. Really nothing is absolute.
Just Gu Xianzhi and the young master
Even though Lao Tao was optimistic, he was not so optimistic. "It is rumored that Gu Xianzhi is so arrogant and arrogant that he dares to ignore the emperor's imperial decree, so how could he fall in love with the young master?"
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Isn't arrogance a weakness?"
Lao Tao was taken aback.
Mu Chun recalled the scene at the Lantern Festival, and he had a vague understanding in his heart, and said, "Don't worry. Even if Tao Mo did something to Gu She, I'm sure I'll make him retreat unscathed."
"Wait." Old Tao looked at him suspiciously, "What do you want the young master to do to him?"
Mu Chun said: "I'm just saying if." Seeing that Tao was still staring at him, he could only let go and said, "I promise, I will never interfere in the various matters between Gu She and Tao Mo, how about it?"
"Except for protecting the young master."
"Okay, except for protecting your young master."
Lao Tao still felt uneasy, but until now, he had no choice but to trust him.
Mu Chun asked, "When are you planning to leave?"
"Let's go today."
Mu Chun was startled, and said, "In such a hurry?"
Old Tao said: "Since you have decided to leave, why bother with your mother-in-law?"
Mu Chun smiled and said: "Elder Lu is really a straightforward person. I will immediately gather the congregation to escort Elder Lu on the road."
Old Tao looked sideways at him, "Are you afraid that I'll run away?"
"How come?" Mu Chun smiled brighter, "As the saying goes, a monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away, isn't it?"
Old Tao snorted coldly, "By the way, I still have a few things to tell you."
Seeing his solemn expression, Mu Chun restrained his smile and said, "Please tell me."
"It's about Master Tao..."
Tao Mo and Hao Guozi were shocked when they knew that Tao was leaving today. Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Tao Mo had no choice but to immediately arrange matters for the long journey.
Originally, Tao Tao wanted to let Mu Chun do it, but seeing his enthusiasm, he couldn't bear to disappoint, so he had to let him do it.
Although Tao Mo bought it for the first time, with Hao Guozi's help, he made it look good.
Mu Chun looked at the crude wooden cart, and whispered to Lao Tao, "The cart I prepared is waiting for you at Shili Pavilion outside Tanyang County."
Lao Tao glanced at him and nodded slightly.
In any case, traveling by bullock cart is... time-consuming.
