The two brothers Mu Ming and Mu Zhe set out yesterday, and stayed up all night on the back of the fire eagle. They hurried and finally arrived in Kyoto the next morning, and quickly found the Chu Mansion.
"Brother, the Chu family's fortune is so huge. Isn't it too much for us to compete with such a big shot? What if, what if Mu Xin plays tricks on us?" Mu Zhe walked along the way, but just by taking a glimpse of the grandeur of the Chu Mansion, he became a little weak and began to back out.
"Idiot! Do you think the family elders haven't thought about this? Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. This is a rare opportunity for our Mu family. If we can do this, we can definitely be promoted to a first-class family! If we sit on the fence, not only will we get nothing, but we will offend both sides! Besides... Chu Tianxiao can't turn things around. Apart from anything else, he will definitely not be able to pass our first level!"
Mu Ming sent a voice message, but his steps were vigorous, as if he was not going to do anything wrong, but was fighting for his ideals and moving forward...
Mu Zhe was still a little hesitant after hearing this. Although he was not a good person, he personally pushed his cousin into the fire pit... He still couldn't accept such behavior...
"But brother... Liu Ling is our cousin after all. Her parents are gone. Apart from her uncle, the only relatives we two can really be considered are brothers... After all, we are family. Isn't it a bit... too much for us to do this? Otherwise, why don't we ask other family members to come?"
"Hmph! Your idea is so naive! Why do you think the Mu family sent only us here when there are so many people? It's because of our status that we are easy to talk to! If we go back now, our stay in the Mu family will be over! You, don't think about these nonsense. Mu Liuling's fate is like this. What does it have to do with us? You should think about how to trick her back. If we succeed, we will be the great contributors to the Mu family and we will never have to worry about anything in our lives! Do you want to stay at the bottom of the Mu family all your life and never get ahead?"
After hearing this, Mu Zhe fell silent, slowly put away his compassion, followed Mu Ming, and under the guidance of the Chu family's steward, they passed through several corridors and arrived at the hall.
At this time, Chu Tianxiao was discussing some details of the battle with Mu Liuling. He pointed at a map, mostly at the word "Medicine Field", and occasionally said something. Mu Liuling was also listening attentively and occasionally said a few words...
As they were talking, the two brothers of the Mu family had already arrived. Chu Tianxiao's eyebrows were raised at a glance, and Mu Liuling seemed to have thought of something. Her body trembled slightly, and there was a bit of sadness in her eyes...
Mu Ming greeted Chu Tianxiao first, and then made some friendly remarks to Mu Liuling, but he didn't talk about business. After a few words, Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business."
Hearing this, although Mu Liuling felt something in her heart, there was still a hint of expectation in her eyes. She just hoped that things were not as she imagined...
However…
Mu Ming sighed and said something that made Mu Liuling feel like he was falling into an ice cellar...
“Cousin Liu Ling, your uncle is ill, very ill, and may not survive for more than a few days. His greatest wish before he passed away was to see you again. Sigh… your uncle is miserable. He is the only deacon, and he offended Elder Huo a few days ago and was fired. Now it’s hard to even get medicine… Cousin Liu Ling, your uncle asked us to come here with great difficulty, so just come back with us!”
After saying this, Mu Liuling closed his eyes in pain, not because of the "uncle", but because of the coldness of human relationships...
"Cousin Liu Ling, don't hesitate. If you miss your uncle's glance, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?" It must be said that Mu Ming's acting skills are quite good. He said this with great emotion. However, Mu Zhe beside him didn't say a word, and his eyes were erratic, which was the "flaw in the ointment"...
Chu Tianxiao gave a mocking smile: "This story is very ordinary."
Hearing this, Mu Ming's heart tightened, and he quickly saluted and said, "Master Chu... Master Chu, what are you talking about! I know Liu Ling is someone close to you, but, but you can't always let her stay by your side, right? After this happened, you won't be unreasonable and not let her go, right?"
Chu Tianxiao ignored him and asked the manager who brought them here in a simple and rude manner: "What did these two 'guests' ride here? A spirit leopard? A flying eagle? It can't be a fire eagle, right?"
The steward bowed and said, "Reporting to the young master, it is the Fire Eagle."
"Yohoo, top level, extremely urgent..." Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Ming with interest and said sarcastically, "Then the question is, why did two people on fire eagles come to report the dismissed deacon? He didn't even know how to act in a complete manner. Is this the level of the Mu family's Patriarch?"
Hearing this, Mu Ming's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He felt that Chu Tianxiao's gaze was like a knife that could pierce deep into his heart and cut out all his thoughts. In front of this prodigal, he actually felt a great pressure. It was simply that there was no escape...
Just as he was about to argue, Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me you stole it or something stupid. Just because of you?"
After saying this, beads of sweat appeared on Mu Ming's forehead, and Mu Zhe beside him was already trembling all over. It was obvious that he couldn't continue to make up lies...
Mu Liuling closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Cousin, if you still care about me as your cousin, don't treat me and the young master as fools... Tell me the truth."
At the end of these words, there was a sense of despair, and even Chu Tianxiao frowned and sighed secretly...
This is an open conspiracy. Even if they don't see the two of them, the other party will have follow-up actions. It can't change the fact that Liu Ling will be sad and hit...
"One kind of rice feeds hundreds of different people..."
"Hmm... Has the decisive battle on top of the Forbidden City... started now? Qin Yun... have you really fallen into this path and are willing to do anything to achieve your goal..."
Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Ming with a look that gradually turned hostile, frightening him so much that his whole body trembled. But when he thought of the bright future he was about to have, he pulled himself together and forced a smile, saying, "Hey, cousin Liu Ling! I'm not afraid that you'll get stubborn... I meant well!"
After a pause, he continued, "It's like this... The Qin family sent someone to the Mu family a few days ago, saying that they wanted to reunite with us. Young Master Qin Yun even specifically mentioned your name, saying that he wanted to renew his relationship with you... Hey! Let me say, cousin Liu Ling, you are really lucky. Not only is your future husband extremely talented, he is also a disciple of the Seven Masters of the Great Zhou. He has a bright future. I don't know how many proud girls of our Mu family are envious of him... This is fate, a good fate, and others can't force it..."
"So, you should come back with us as soon as possible, and don't keep Master Qin Yun waiting for too long..."
