Covering Tao Mo with a quilt, Old Tao just wanted to leave, but was held back by Tao Mo: "Old Tao."
Old Tao said helplessly, "Master, Mu Chun really didn't come to kill me, he came to call me back to the Devil's Cult."
"But back then..."
"Back then, the old leader cheated his death. Before I rebelled, Mu Chun had arranged for two protectors to leave with the treasures of the teaching, but they lied to me that they left because of jealousy. He also said that the business in northern Xinjiang was robbed by others. The elders left with the loyal elite. Those who remained were either us who were rebellious, or the old, weak, sick and disabled. On the day Shi Taiwei attacked the mountain, Mu Chun led the remaining congregants to retreat while fighting, and retreated from the secret road. I left an empty mountain for Captain Shi. But those who rebelled with me were tricked by Mu Chun to let us fight with Captain Shi. Therefore, although I rebelled, I did not hurt the vitality of the Demon Cult. Mu Chun this time Come on, one is to tell me to go back and gather up the people who rebelled with me at the beginning, and the other is to tell me to meet the old leader."
"Oh." Tao Mo felt a little relieved, "But why does he live in the county government office? Could it be that I fell asleep and you are going to go to him to make amends?"
Old Tao was extremely helpless: "Young master, he is the leader after all, I will leave him behind and stay with you all the time, okay?"
Tao Mo burst into tears with grievance: "You always disappear suddenly. You disappeared yesterday."
"Yesterday I saw Mu Chun in the Town God's Temple, of course I have to avoid it! Otherwise, Lao Tao has gone to redeem his sins, what will the young master do?"
Tao Mo's eyes lit up: "Old Tao, you will always be with me, right?"
Lao Tao was speechless for a moment. Tao Mo became uneasy, and cautiously urged: "Old Tao!"
Old Tao gritted his teeth: "Old Tao has always been with the young master."
Tao Mo smiled happily, but then became worried again: "Then if it's Mu Chun..."
Old Tao said: "If you keep pulling me, Mu Chun will get angry, and it will be difficult to intercede."
"Ah!" Tao Mo hurriedly let go of Lao Tao, but his eyes were still glued to Lao Tao's body, his big eyes were full of worry and attachment.
Old Tao cruelly ignored him, and told Hao Guozi: "Take care of the good young master to sleep! I'll come over later, if the young master is not asleep, you can go and dump the chamber pot!"
He seldom speaks in such a harsh manner, and he has never threatened Hao Guozi with dirty work. Hao Guozi was frightened for a moment, and hurriedly agreed.
After closing the door, Old Tao knelt down and said, "This subordinate sees the leader!"
Mu Chun didn't help him up, but sat on the best chair by himself.
"Old Tao apologized to the leader!"
"Old Tao. Old Tao! Alright, the name Lu Qiyuan really died in the past."
"Lu—Lu Qiyuan asks the lord to forgive me!"
"Okay, how many times do you want to invite?"
"The sin I want to apologize this time is to ask the leader to forgive Lao Tao for not being able to go back."
Mu Chun playfully said, "Once Tao Mo cries, your heart softens? You are a master of martial arts, you really want to be the butler of a silly young master for the rest of your life."
"The leader has also seen that the young master cannot be left alone in Danyang."
"Master?" Mu Chun said meaningfully, "You are really loyal!"
"The young master is sincere to Lao Tao, and the leader has also seen it."
"A piece of sincerity... Are you saying that Yuan Aoze and I are not sincere enough to you?"
Old Tao sweated profusely: "Old Tao dare not."
"Okay! I'll invite your young master to come and let him judge and see what you should do?" Mu Chun showed a mysterious smile, "I think he's done it quite fairly in Tong Yu's case this afternoon."
"Master!" Lao Tao looked at Mu Chun in horror.
"Do you know? I'm a little jealous of him." Mu Chun stood up slowly and took two steps, "I'm not a direct descendant of the Demon Cult, you don't accept me; I marry Xueyi, you betray me."
He stopped in front of Lao Tao, leaned down and stared into Lao Tao's eyes: "You have always treated Yuan Aocai as a nephew, and he is also a martial arts genius. If you are loyal to him and despise me, I will accept it. It's a pity that he was also You're sick of it."
"How can he blame me for his depravity?"
"Self-willing, falling, falling?" Mu Chun sneered, "So in your eyes, Yuan Aozie and I are both self-willing and falling?"
Lao Tao raised his head, his gaze was burning: "Although Princess Xueyi is a married woman and is five years older than the leader, she may not be unable to get along with her, and her martial arts and appearance match well with the leader. The harmony of yin and yang between men and women is not against the laws of heaven and earth." Dao. That Ji Wudi, who is full of nonsense all day long, his martial arts are almost nothing, and he is still a man, Yuan Aozec took him as his wife, wouldn't he be willing to degenerate?!"
Mu Chun looked at him sarcastically: "Then, should I thank you for considering me better than Yuan Aocai—but I don't think you are qualified to judge Yuan Aocai."
Old Tao was surprised: "Master, why are you talking to Yuan Aozai? When did you get so familiar with him?"
Mu Chun disdainfully: "Friends, it's good to be congenial, why don't you have to exchange cups and get along with each other?"
Old Tao was silent.
After a long time, Mu Chun said: "Okay, get up! Tomorrow, I will go back to Supan Mountain with Yiran Anran, and I will take care of your silly young master here. Whether you can go back to be an elder or not, we will talk about it when you come back."
Lao Tao was surprised: "The leader is worried about his subordinates, so let the two guardians watch?"
Mu Chun laughed: "I'm not that stupid to watch an elder with two Dharma protectors, am I? Besides, the monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away. The silly young master you treat as your own son is still in my hands, and I'm not afraid of you getting out of the sky. Let Yiran An Ran accompanies you because you are still a traitor, and you think that if you go back alone, you will be able to go up the Mount of Disapproval and meet the old leader."
Only then did Lao Tao let out a sigh of relief, and stood up: "Guarantee Yi Ran can just take Lao Tao back. It's better for Guardian An Ran to accompany the leader."
"No need." Mu Chun shook his head, "It is enough for me to have snow clothes by my side. There are also some teaching staff in Danyang."
Old Tao said: "The leader is busy with affairs, in case he has to leave Danyang, the young master will also have someone to take care of him."
"In your eyes, the daring leader and protector of the Demon Cult are the servants who take care of your silly young master?!"
Seeing Mu Chun's face showing anger, which is usually moody, Lao Tao hastily knelt down and kowtowed again: "This subordinate dare not!"
"Okay!" Mu Chun raised his hand, "As long as it's about your silly young master, there's nothing you dare not do."
Old Tao stood up, still bowing his waist: "Master, please calm down. Young Master, he really treats me like a father."
"And what about his own father?"
Old Tao recounted what happened three years ago.
Mu Chun frowned: "It turns out that he is Tao Wuwen Xueyi who has been looking for him for three years, and I also asked the members of the Demon Cult to look for him everywhere. Unexpectedly, he changed his name and went to Danyang to become the county magistrate."
"I don't know if Princess Xueyi - General Lian's family has any resentment towards the young master?"
"Xue Yi doesn't have any. She has always wanted to find Tao Wuwen to take good care of her, and fulfilled Lian Jian's wish. But Gu She—it's hard to say."
"Gu She!" Lao Tao was taken aback, "Gu She and Mr. Lianjian look exactly the same, but they are related."
"Gu She and Lian Jian are twin brothers, the sons of Xue Yi's sister and Gu Huankun. Because my father-in-law only has two daughters, it was said that the first son's surname was Lian. Lian Jian was sent to Lian Jian when he was born. Xueyi and Xueyi grew up together. Although Xueyi and Lianjian Gushe are uncles and nephews according to their seniority, they are actually like brothers and sisters."
Old Tao pondered for a moment: "I have an unfeeling request from my subordinates, can the leader not tell Gu She that the young master is Tao Wuwen?"
Mu Chun: "If I don't say it, your silly young master has already offended Gu She to the very end in the lawsuit this afternoon."
Old Tao was full of worry: "One thing more is worse than one thing less." After a while he asked again: "Isn't Gu Huankun's son Gu Xianzhi the most talented man in the world?"
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Gu She Gu Xianzhi, isn't he alone?"
Mu Chun squatted down on the ridge of the roof.
He held his breath and listened quietly, there were actually three people in the room. One is Lian Xueyi, but the other two don't know who they are.
Just as he was guessing, when he heard Lian Xueyi's cough with a smile, he knew it was all right. He landed lightly like a feather, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, and pushed the door open.
"Your Honor is finally back?"
"My lord," Mu Chun sat down carelessly, "Who is your lord? I remember someone should call me 'uncle'."
Gu She said calmly: "Gu She has an uncle, who is a distinguished guest of the Gu Mansion, and the door of the Gu Mansion is always open for him. As for those who step over the wall and step on the roof tiles, it seems too polite to call him 'Your Majesty'. "
"Ahem!" Mu Chun clenched his fist and coughed lightly, uncomfortably, "Well, your servants, every mouthful of 'Master', am I that old?"
Gu She stared at him closely: "Not only are you not old, but I heard that you are five years younger than my aunt. Maybe you are a few months younger than me?"
"This—" Mu Chun looked at Gu She hesitantly, "You are also a pig"
Gu She didn't answer, but asked instead: "What month is your birthday?"
Mu Chun worried: "June 24th. Your birthday is—"
Gu She exhaled imperceptibly: "Mid-Autumn Festival." Turning around, he told Gu Xiaojia: "Go and tell the concierge, and I will be called 'Mr. Mu' from now on."
He didn't say goodbye to Lian Xueyi, and left.
Hearing the sound of his footsteps going away, Lian Xueyi said angrily: "I told you that you are a chicken, why don't you say that it is good for a female junior to hold a gold brick?"
Mu Chun rubbed his nose: "I don't like chickens. Besides, he also recognizes him by two months! Why do you have to be two years older?"
Lian Xueyi chuckled: "Then you can remember, you were born on the 24th of June. Next time, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, I won't celebrate your birthday for you."
Mu Chun jumped up "Hey": "How can there be such an unvirtuous lady? No, I want to celebrate my birthday twice, once on the 24th of June and once on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month! Well, on June 24th this year No, now supply me..."
As he spoke, he approached, only the aftertaste of Lian Xueyi's crisp laughter being suddenly blocked could be heard in the room.
"Are you finished"
Mu Chun looked at Hao Guozi who was kneeling at his feet, struggling to grab a corner of his clothes. If it wasn't for the county government compound in broad daylight, he might just point to the acupoints of this stinky boy and make him kneel down slowly.
Hao Guozi's forehead was red and swollen, and there was soil on the red and swollen place: "Mr. Qiu Mu accompanied the young master to Yu Ming's wedding banquet!"
"You encouraged your silly young master to accept the post, why do you want me to accompany you?"
Hao Guozi worried: "The young master offended Gu She, I'm afraid he will be retaliated by the disciples of the Yang family. But the young master helped the Lin family. If Lin Zhengyong and his disciples are willing to protect the young master, Gu She should not be able to do anything to the young master. I He is a servant who can't speak or speak. Mr. Mu is different. Although I don't know what Mr. Mu does, I can see that Mr. Mu must be a dragon and phoenix! Mr. Mu, you can save the young master! Just once! Hao Guozi, please!"
Mu Chun frowned: "Get up. I've also heard about the Danyang County incident. In short, let your young master be an official in peace."
Hao Guozi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Mu!"
Mu Chun went to the old house of Yu's family in Yinjiaba with the idea of making Tao Mo and Linmen become friends. He did meet many disciples of Linmen at the wedding banquet, and even sat with Lin Zhengyong himself. Everyone was very ashamed of drinking Tao Mo's wine before, but they all admired Tao Mo's impartial handling of the case despite his friendship with Gu She. All of a sudden, they came to toast one after another, and there was no lack of compliments. Mu Chundai and Tao Mo answered each other with gentle and appropriate sentences. He was originally born in a master of martial arts, first he was the sole heir of Qixia Villa, and later he was the leader of the Demon Cult. Although the teachers and students of Linmen are all talented, he is still able to socialize with ease.
Everyone saw that his appearance and demeanor were extremely extraordinary, and they didn't know where he was, but after asking, they found out that he was Tao Mo's new housekeeper, and they couldn't help being extremely surprised.
Without waiting for further questioning, the bride took it back, and the bride and groom worshiped heaven and earth. Tao Mo let out a "Huh".
Although his voice was not loud, all the people at the same table heard him and looked at him together. I saw Tao Mo pointing at Yu Ming, almost stuttering: "He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, and nothing happened."
Mu Chun hurriedly interrupted: "How can we get married if something happens?" He said and twisted Tao Mo's waist.
Tao Mo groaned, but didn't have time to pay attention to Mu Chun pinching him, and just expressed his doubts in his heart: "I beat him twenty boards when I was sixteen, and he still owed ten boards at that time. Today is only twenty days, he Is it already ready? Then there are still ten boards... Hey—why are you screwing me again?"
Only then did he look at Mu Chun, feeling pained and wronged, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Zhengyong and Linmen disciples were extremely embarrassed. The Yu family is a big family in Danyang County, who lived in Yinjiaba for generations, and almost every generation has officials, up to the fourth rank. When the yamen servant beat Yu Ming that day, he held it up high and beat him lightly, but Yu Ming was not seriously injured. Tao Mo saw that he couldn't hold on after receiving twenty boards, and it was Yu Ming who cooperated with the yamen servant to pretend. Afterwards, the Yu family wrapped big red envelopes for the two yamen servants.
This kind of thing is actually an open secret. The Yu family thought that Tao Mo knew about these tricks, so they sent invitations to him, a big media, without any scruples.
Seeing this, Lin Zhengyong hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "This is all the medicine of the miracle doctor Kuang! I heard that after using the wound medicine of the miracle doctor Kuang, the little disciple recovered quickly."
Tao Mo believed it was true, Mu Chun knowingly smiled at Lin Zhengyong, and raised his glass to him.
As Tao Mo's housekeeper, Mu Chun was not qualified to sit with Lin Zhengyong and Tao Mo at the same table, but everyone was overwhelmed by his demeanor, and even tacitly allowed him to bring his chair over and place it between Tao Mo and Lin Zhengyong .
Seeing him toast, Lin Zhengyong hurriedly clinked glasses with him, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
At the end of the ceremony, a couple of newlyweds are sent to the bridal chamber. Not long after, Yu Ming came out to toast, probably because he took off the hijab and didn't stop. He first came to Lin Zhengyong and Tao Mo's table. Just as he was hesitating to toast to his mentor and the big matchmaker Mr. Tao first, Lin Zhengyong winked and turned his head to give him a back.
Yu Ming understood it, and raised his glass to Tao Mo: "The first person to respect is Mr. Tao. If Mr. Tao is not a fair person, you will not be able to marry such a beautiful woman today."
Tao Mo shook his head: "I sentenced the Jing family to withdraw the engagement, not because I thought it was fair, but because Miss Jing was devoted to you, even if she was sentenced to perform the marriage contract, it would only create a couple. It's not fair for my family to divorce, so I fined you to pay double the dowry and hit you thirty times. If you are grateful, you should be grateful to Miss Jingda. She would rather destroy her boudoir reputation than marry you. What kind of affection is this? Don't let She regretted it later."
After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and turned the mouth of the empty glass towards Yu Ming.
Yu Ming's heart was agitated by Tao Mo's words, and he solemnly swore: "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, I will never leave, and I will never waver!"
After speaking, he drank it in one gulp and showed Tao Mo the empty cup.
Lin Zhengyong said leisurely: "How can there be only one glass of toast to Mr. Tao? Mr. Tao is our parent officer and your great matchmaker, at least three glasses."
Yu Ming said: "The teacher is right." Then he poured it for the two of them again.
Tao Mo picked up his wine glass and asked again: "Has your double dowry salary ever been sent to Tong's residence?"
Yu Ming nodded again and again: "I've given it away. My parents and mother have arranged it themselves."
Tao Mo nodded: "It should be so."
When the third cup was in his hand, Mu Chun thought: The silly young master should finish talking now, right
It turned out not, Tao Mo solemnly told: "Don't forget you still owe me ten boards, come and get them when you are free."
Lin Zhengyong was drinking soup, and was caught off guard and coughed repeatedly.
