I am the county magistrate in Daming

"Li Guang wants you to help the disaster." Zhu Jingshou's face was not very good.

There were endless disputes in the court, and the prince Zhu Houzhao was still young and could not temporarily lead the court.Ma Wensheng was very cautious and suggested that the sixth department should stabilize the situation first.

Mu Qingtian frowned, and said, "Ma Wensheng did this clearly out of fear of you."

Others only know that King Qing is indifferent and unkind, but he has seen Zhu Jingshou's injuries with his own eyes.For Zhu Youtang's country, he was the one who devoted himself the most. As a result, Ma Wensheng not only didn't appreciate it, but also guarded Zhu Jingshou like a thief.

"It's enough to have Qingqing speak for this king." Zhu Jingshou hugged him and shook happily.

He didn't blame Ma Wensheng, because he really had no idea about the throne.If Ma Wensheng is not afraid of a powerful prince, but instead flatters him, there is no need to be a minister anymore.

Those who did not come to curry favor with Zhu Youtang when he was seriously ill were the true loyal ministers.

"I just can't get enough of it." Mu Qingtian said dissatisfied.

"Brother Huang has treated me very well. If I were to be placed in another dynasty, how could a prince be able to control the military power and build a house in the capital?"

The contradictions that had never been thought of in the past, only surfaced in Shuntian Mansion.

In the local area, Zhu Jingshou is a prince respected and feared by everyone, representing the supreme right; in the capital, the forces of all parties are intertwined and complicated, and Zhu Jingshou has become a prince who may threaten the throne at any time.

Mu Qingtian suddenly realized that if one day, Zhu Youtang no longer trusted Zhu Jingshou, what would they do at that time.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times.

"Chang'an." Mu Qingtian rested his head on Zhu Jingshou's collarbone, "Is there anything you want to do when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future?"

Sensing the uneasiness of the person in his arms, Zhu Jingshou softened his tone and said, "Well, I have to think about what to do in the future."

"During the day, show Qingqing the sword dance."

"It's best to go to the restaurant with Qingqing at noon, and you must choose a seat by the window. Qingqing has never seen the grand occasion of Zhuangyuan Lang crossing the street. The angry horse in red is very lively."

"Naturally..." Zhu Jingshou held Mu Qingtian's waist suggestively.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingtian followed Zhu Jingshou's hand and nestled in his arms with a blushing face, with an appearance of "letting you pick and choose".

Zhu Jingshou was so elated, he closed the curtain and began to enjoy the extra meal at noon.

As soon as I did it, I made it to the night, and Mu Qingtian was so hungry that he was growling.He lay on the bed like a salted fish, asking Zhu Jingshou to clean himself up and apply medicine.

"Cuizhu said in the morning that there will be Bazhen duck for lunch." Master Mu was very aggrieved.

Zhu Jingshou patted Mu Qingtian's sweaty head with pity, and slipped in while he was not paying attention.

"You?!" Mu Qingtian wailed, "Aren't you enough!!"

"It's never enough to like Qingqing." This time Zhu Jingshou was very gentle, taking care of Mu Qingtian's feelings everywhere, only gently grinding.

"Besides, Qingqing wants to comfort the king, but can't start and end?" He laughed.

Mu Qing was in a panic, her arms were flailing vigorously, wanting to crawl forward.

It turned out that Zhu Jingshou had seen through him a long time ago, and still pretended to be pitiful, what a big-tailed wolf!

Zhu Jingshou chuckled lightly, and turned Mu Qingtian's face in the current posture.

In a fit of anger, Mu Qingtian covered his face with his arms, and kicked Zhu Jingshou with his feet, and he lost his strength as soon as he lifted it halfway.

"Bastard, rogue..."

Zhu Jingshou coaxed his own concubine with a good voice, but he kept moving.

"Qingqing, I want to see your face." He leaned over and rubbed Mu Qingtian's ear affectionately.

"Thinking, it's beautiful!!"

Zhu Jingshou had kissed the two white and tender arms long ago, and there was not a single piece of skin on them.

Zhu Jingshou raised his eyebrows, adding another mark.

"Then the king will come by himself."

"Don't!" Mu Qingtian hurriedly let go, looking at him with red eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Zhu Jingshou kissed him reassuringly.

"No matter what happens in the future, wherever Qingqing is, I will be there."

Shuhui stood helplessly outside the door, and persuaded Cuizhu, who came to deliver food for the third time, to go back.

Tsk tsk, beast.

Cuizhu was very embarrassed and said: "It has been reheated four times, and the Bazhen Duck will be uneatable if you reheat it."

Shuhui laughed, stuck to Cuizhu and sniffed it.

"It's delicious."

Cuizhu smiled and said, "It has been heated several times, so the taste is naturally strong, but the taste is much worse."

It was too late to say that, Cuizhu felt his hand was empty, and Bazhen Duck Leg went into Shuhui's stomach in a blink of an eye.

"Anyway, my lord and my concubine won't be able to eat tonight." Shu Hui threw the bone back into the plate, flattering her: "I don't dislike it, I can eat it."

"you!"

"Forget it, there are still some noodles and soup in the kitchen, do you want to eat?"

"eat!"

When he went to court the next day, Zhu Jingshou retreated and volunteered to help the disaster.Ma Wensheng had no objection and no longer argued with Li Guang.

Li Guang pursued the victory and said: "Floods in the south will inevitably cause damage to dams and bridges. Officials from the Ministry of Industry must be appointed to supervise the reconstruction."

Xu Guan stood up and disagreed, saying: "The Ministry of Industry has insufficient personnel. The drawings given by the Ministry of War have not been completed, so there is no one to send."

"Isn't the newly appointed envoy, Mr. Mu, still idle?" Li Guang said contemptuously.

Many ministers in the DPRK refused to accept Mu Qingtian, they flattered him on the surface, but they didn't know how ugly they said in secret.What about "vegetarian meals in the corpse", "good luck", "incompetence"... It's all about envy and jealousy, no need to study hard, no imperial examinations, just solve an ordinary murder case, and once you get the rank, you are still a fifth grade.

Now that they have the opportunity to rectify Mu Qingtian, they are eager to facilitate this matter.

"The lower officials think that Master Li is right."

"The lower officials seconded the proposal."

Zhu Jingshou sat at the front with an uncertain expression.

Ma Wensheng turned around and said to Zhu Jingshou, "I think Master Mu is indeed a suitable candidate for disaster relief."

It's just right for a fifth-rank official position to be neither big nor small, and it's not an important person, even if he dies in office...

"I think it's wrong."

A deep and powerful voice sounded from the ranks of generals.

Li Guang's eyes were sinister, and he stared at the people passing by from the corner of his eye.

"The ancients said that if the Qi family governs the country and the world, it is better for General Zhenwu to take care of the family affairs first, and then intervene in disaster relief." Li Guang said with a strange air.

The officials behind him didn't shy away from it and snickered.

Gu Fan's expression did not change, he knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said to Zhu Jingshou: "I think that Mu Qingtian is not reliable, and he has a close personal relationship with Mr. Li, so he cannot be entrusted with the task of disaster relief."

Li Guang was furious, and said: "Why, does General Gu have any opinion on this officer?"

"Yes or no, you know in your heart." Gu Fan didn't give any face.

Gu Fan's ancestors made great contributions in helping the grandparents conquer the world, and they were conferred noble titles.However, the descendants became more and more unsatisfactory, and the title was cut again and again, from the marquis to the current uncle.Gu Fan's father didn't have much achievements. If his son hadn't made great achievements in the military, the title would have been lost in his generation.

But for so many years, the Gu family has already been the most inconspicuous one among the nobles. Although they have a title, it is just an empty title, and it is not as famous as Gu Fan's "General Zhenwu".

"Enough." Zhu Jingshou said.

"Gu Fan, I know better than you how much Mu Qingtian is capable of."

Thinking of Gu Fan touching Mu Qingtian on the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhu Jingshou became angry.

"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, can the prince guarantee it!" Gu Fan was aggressive.

He is the person in the court who looks down on Mu Qingtian the most.Although Li Guang is treacherous, he knows how to read words and deeds, and the emperor's favor is also earned by himself.The Gu family declined, and he followed Zhu Jingshou through life and death to regain the glory that the Gu family deserved.In the court, except for the princes and nobles, which one has not worked hard to get to this position today.

Why did Mu Qingtian pass these people?

Zhu Jingshou smiled abruptly.

Not to mention, he really knew what Mu Qingtian was thinking.

"What qualifications do you have to ask for the king's guarantee?"

Gu Fan is familiar with Zhu Jingshou's character.Ordinary people would kneel down in fright and admit their mistakes when Zhu Jingshou questioned them like this.

"For the emperor, for the court, and for the people of the south."

Zhu Jingshou felt better.

"Gu Fan, because of your great military exploits, I don't care about you."

"My lord!" Li Guang said anxiously.

"Since you say Mu Qingtian can't do it, who can do it?"

Gu Fan said calmly: "I implore the prince to allow me to go together."

"Master Mu will serve as the imperial envoy for disaster relief, with ministers assisting."

Li Guang quit immediately, and quarreled with Gu Fan again.

Zhu Jingshou spent all his time watching the monkey show, the more he looked at Gu Fan, the more he disliked it.

"This king will truthfully report this matter to the emperor."

Standing outside the hall, Mu Qingtian could only eavesdrop on the conversations of his colleagues around him to understand what happened in the hall.

"Gu Fan usually doesn't talk, why is he so aggressive today?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry sneered and said, "I'm afraid I'm not in a hurry to make meritorious service."

"What did he do?"

"Haven't you heard about the Gu family? It's so embarrassing. If it were me, I would be too ashamed to see anyone."

……

What Mu Qingtian heard was confused, what about Gu Fan, what about Gu's family, and what does it have to do with the Southern Shui Po?

"Speaking of which, Lord Mu." The minister of the Ministry of Industry turned his head and whispered.

"You speak."

"If you are really selected as an imperial envoy this time, do your best and don't embarrass the Ministry of Industry."

As the court was approaching, Gu Fan and Li Guang did not quarrel for any reason.

Mu Qingtian quickly got into the carriage that Zhu Jingshou specially prepared for him, bypassed all the officials and returned to the palace, waiting for Zhu Jingshou to return from the palace.

Zhu Youtang's health has improved a lot, and he can already go out to the ground for activities.

"What do you think about the disaster relief?" Zhu Youtang asked his younger brother to support him, and walked slowly in the palace.

Zhu Jingshou described in detail what happened in the court these days.

"This Ma Wensheng..." Zhu Youtang coughed twice.

"Ma Shangshu is also loyal, the emperor should be happy." Zhu Jingshou quickly brought a cup of tea and handed it to his brother.

"Aren't you wronged?" Zhu Youtang raised his eyes and asked.

"Of course I'm wronged." Zhu Jingshou smiled, "The princess doesn't want my brother to be wronged, she always finds ways to comfort me."

Zhu Youtang's teeth are sore.

"I haven't prayed to heaven and earth yet, I'm a 'Wangfei' and 'Wangfei' all day long, so don't be ashamed."

After speaking, Zhu Youtang sighed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"I know you've had a bad time these years, so leave Ma Wensheng alone."

"Thank you brother for your compassion."

Judging from Zhu Youtang's tone, he was planning to send imperial envoys to help the disaster.Zhu Jingshou told him again what happened in the hall today.

"You give in?" Zhu Youtang sneered, "I think you can't leave that Mu Qingtian for a moment."

"Emperor brother is wise."

"As for Gu Fan, let him go if he wants to, so as not to be annoyed in front of my eyes every day."

In this way, the matter of Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou going to the south for disaster relief has been settled.

The next day, Zhu Youtang recovered from his illness and went to court, appointing Mu Qingtian as an imperial envoy for disaster relief, Qing Wang Zhu Jingshou accompanied him, and Zhenwu General Gu Fan as his deputy to protect Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou.

"I accept the edict." Mu Qingtian knelt down and held up the edict.

After the court was over, Mu Qingtian was stopped by the servant.

"Lord Mu, the emperor is pleased."

"Please father-in-law to lead the way."

Zhu Youtang ordered some necessary matters, and quietly gave him a token.

Disaster relief is a big deal, and there will always be people who want to profit from it.Zhu Youtang wanted Mu Qingtian to let go and dig out the cancer in the court.

"I will live up to the emperor's entrustment." Mu Qingtian said solemnly.

Just after leaving the Hall of Martial Arts, the servant came to pass the message again, saying that Li Guang wanted to see him.

Mu Qingtian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly responded.

"Tell me, what is King Qing doing recently?" Li Guang leaned on the soft couch and looked up at Mu Qingtian lazily.

Mu Qingtian picked out unnecessary trifles in life and talked about them.

"Yes." Li Guang nodded, "It seems that Zhu Jingshou really cares about you."

"Your honor."

"For this disaster relief, I want you to bring back 10 taels of silver, can you do it?"

10 taels? !

"Why, you don't want to do it?" Li Guang chuckled, "Don't forget, King Qing's eyes can't tolerate sand."

"If he knows, you have been lying to him from the beginning, and you are a spy sent by the official..."

Mu Qingtian said nervously: "Yes, but 10 taels is too much, please express it clearly, Mr. Li."

"It depends on your ability."

"This official will arrange someone to meet you in the disaster relief team, remember to be careful with Gu Fan."

If it weren't for Gu Fan who broke out halfway, he could have arranged for more people, and he didn't need Mu Qingtian to do these things at all.

Mu Qingtian went back to Prince Qing's Mansion listlessly, put on his boots and lay down on the bed.

Zhu Jingshou came over with a plate of candied fruit, picked him up and put him in his arms.

"Your Excellency has worked hard."

Mu Qingtian snorted twice, and said in an insatiable way: "Madam is virtuous, please press my husband's arm."

Zhu Jingshou let him make trouble, stretched out his hand and squeezed a candied fruit to his mouth.

"Huh, what is this?" Mu Qingtian chewed with his mouth open, his eyes lit up, and he stuck out his tongue to lick off the remaining honey on Zhu Jingshou's hand.

Zhu Jingshou's eyes dimmed, and he said, "The candied dates for the tribute."

"One more." Mu Qingtian raised his calf, like an uncle.

Zhu Jingshou picked up another candied date -- this time he didn't pass it directly to Mu Qingtian, but bit half of it himself.

Mu Qingtian: ...Rogue go away! !

Qing Chou's shameless Wang smiled and leaned over to seduce Mu Qingtian.

Is Lord Mu that kind of person?

Yes!

At present, there is no reason not to enjoy beauty and food.

Tired of eating a plate of candied fruit, Mu Qingtian's throat hurts and he keeps drinking water.

"Drink slowly." Zhu Jingshou schemingly refilled Mu Qingtian's cup of tea.

It's time to talk about business after the trouble is over.

"What did the emperor tell you to go?"

Mu Qingtian burped, wiped his mouth and said, "Just tell me to be careful in everything."

"By the way, the emperor wants to build the Yuxiu Pavilion, do you know that?"

Zhu Youtang called Mu Qingtian over to ask him what he thought of Yu Xiuting.The disaster relief needed money, and the construction of the Yuxiu Pavilion also needed money. On the one hand, it was the common people, and on the other hand, it was his own body. Zhu Youtang was a little vacillating.

"I know, Li Guang's idea."

Mu Qingtian snickered.

"Little fox." Zhu Jingshou pinched Mu Qingtian's face, "Tell me, what idea did you give Brother Huang?"

"secret--"

"Don't say yes." Zhu Jingshou slowly pressed down, "Then it will be served by 'big punishment'."

Mu Qingtian was "firm-willed" and said "decisively", "Come on!"

Shuhui rubbed her ears, why every time it was her turn to be on duty, the prince and princess were doing indescribable things.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Si who have been tortured countless times: because it is every day.

Before the business was finished, Zhu Jingshou only took a bite.

"Be careful with Li Guang, he said he would plant spies." Mu Qingtian was almost used to Zhu Jingshou's frequency, and he was in good spirits.

Zhu Jingshou shook his head and said, "You can't believe everything."

"why?"

Whether there are spies planted or not, only Li Guang himself knows.If he wanted to confuse Zhu Jingshou's sight, make him suspicious and wrong a good person, then he would be in trouble.

"That's right." Mu Qingtian stretched, "What happened to Gu Fan?"

"Why are the ministers around me gossiping."

In his early years, Gu Fan went to the Southwest to fight chaos, but he got into the poisonous miasma by mistake and almost died.Fortunately, I met a person who led him out of the miasma and healed his wounds.

General Zhenwu fell in love with his savior.

The man never left his mask, even when he was sleeping.Gu Fan's eyes were temporarily blinded by the miasma.He didn't know whether the benefactor was a man or a woman, nor what he looked like, but he only knew that his hands were cold and gentle.

On the day when he saw the light again, before Gu Fan had time to thank him and tell his heart, the man disappeared.

Only a pair of special eyes remained in Gu Fan's heart.

Everyone in the capital knows that after Gu Fan came back from a near-death situation, he went around to inquire about his benefactor.Subconsciously, he felt that his benefactor was a gentle woman, so he made up his mind to find her and marry her back to General Zhenwu's residence.

Gu Fan is one of the most handsome men in the capital, clean and self-sufficient, and is the dream lover of many young ladies.The matchmaker has been persuading Gu Fan to stop being attached to that person who doesn't know whether he exists or not. He is not young, and it's time to get married.

In the dead of night, Gu Fan would also wonder if that person was just a dream of his own.

But after waking up, he still persevered in searching.

"Did he find it?" Mu Qingtian unconsciously sucked Zhu Jingshou's finger and asked vaguely.

Gu Fan found it.

He felt that it wasn't that he was insincere, but that the other party couldn't show up because of his identity.

General Zhenwu suddenly became seriously ill, and his life was not long, so he recruited famous doctors to continue his life.

Gu Fan lay on the bed, using his ears to identify every doctor who came to treat him.

Hard work paid off, he heard a familiar voice - this is the benefactor's unique sequence of techniques.

He called the butler and asked who he was.Jianghu doctor, born in the southwest...all can be matched.Especially his eyes, exactly the same as in memory.

Gu Fan found the love of his life, but the love was not a woman, but a man.

General Zhenwu married a man, that was a big event that caused a sensation in Shuntian Mansion.

Gu Fan fulfilled his vow, but he still felt conflicted in his heart.On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the little prince suddenly invaded the north, and Gu Fan left behind his wife who was newly married for less than a day, and went into battle in armor.

After going there for three years, Gu Fan didn't consummate the house with his wife even after he came back.

If he couldn't do it, something must have gone wrong.

During the tortuous process, the lovers finally get married, and everyone is talking about the shocking love of General Zhenwu.

I thought that Gu Fan and his husband Liu Guizhou would live forever, but the development of things was unexpected.

It was raining lightly that day, and the sky was also cloudy.

The guards escorted Liu Guizhou to Dali Temple, and Gu Fan even walked at the front of the line with a frosty face.

The benefactor is not a benefactor, but a counterfeit who has occupied the magpie's nest for almost five years.

Liu Guizhou knelt on the lobby indifferently, without saying a word.

The cause is a woman.

She and Master Liu Guizhou went to the same school, and when she heard that her senior brother lived in Shuntian Mansion, she stopped by to visit.

With similar techniques and similar eyes, Gu Fan finally understood where the disobedience in his heart came from.

He quietly tested Liu Guizhou's junior sister, and found that everything could match what happened back then.

Dali Temple has no way to resolve this kind of case, besides, the characteristics of the benefactor are all Gu Fan's one-sided claims, and no one can prove it.

Liu Guizhou was kicked out of Zhenwu General's Mansion, and has never been seen since then, while Gu Fan married Liu Guizhou's junior sister in eight sedan chairs.

"It's so messy..." Mu Qingtian rubbed the center of his brows, "It's obvious that Gu Fan himself admitted the wrong person, but let others bear the consequences."

Zhu Jingshou comforted Mu Qingtian and continued.

Gu Fan felt that he was sick and stunned.The real benefactor was right in front of him, but there was no disturbance in his heart, even the passion in his heart when he was with Liu Guizhou disappeared.It was also the day when Liu Guizhou was driven away, and he felt depressed, as if something was blocking him.

Maybe it's because the junior sister is too arrogant, and after a few years of her peaceful life, her spirit is slack, and she actually slipped her mouth to the servants.

It turned out that she was the dove.

After her master passed away, she lived a very difficult life, drifting around, and arrived at Shuntian Mansion.When she saw her senior brother traveling in a canopy carriage on the street, she felt envious and jealous, so she took the initiative to find him.

Liu Guizhou was very happy to see his junior sister, and booked the best inn in Shuntian Prefecture for her.

Hearing that his master was gone, Liu Guizhou felt very guilty.I only had my junior sister as my relative, and I couldn't bear to see her living outside, so I took her back to the general's mansion.

Gu Fan was furious after hearing this, and immediately reported to the police.

"That's how you escorted senior brother to Dali Temple back then."

Liu Guizhou's junior sister was good at using poison, so she escaped and disappeared into the vast crowd.

……

Mu Qingtian didn't know what to say, he could only say "wonderful".

"This happened a few years ago, and it caused a lot of trouble. Gu Fan became a joke in the whole capital."

"Deserving it."

The story has been told for a long time, and the few cups of tea he just drank had worked, and Mu Qingtian felt a little urgent to urinate.

Zhu Jingshou wrapped his arms around Mu Qingtian's waist, locking him in his arms.

"Relax, I'm going to the toilet." Mu Qingtian struggled very little, for fear of being unable to hold back.

"It's just spring, and it's cold outside." Zhu Jingshou was as motionless as a mountain.

"You have to go to the toilet when it's cold! Let go!!"

Mu Qingtian wanted to cry but had no tears, he really couldn't hold it back.

"There is a copper pot in the room."

Wait, strong man, wait!What are you doing!

Mu Qingtian leaned on Zhu Jingshou, covered his face and cried softly.

I'm ashamed to see people! !Master Mu's fame in his lifetime has been ruined today.

And Zhu Jingshou felt cheap for a while, and then he couldn't touch Mu Qingtian for half a month.

In a blink of an eye, when it was time to set off, Zhu Jingshou took out a four-horse carriage out of thin air. The carriage was spacious enough for two people to roll around in it.

……

"I won't sit." It looks like it has been planned for a long time!

"Such a luxurious carriage, is it for disaster relief? What do you make the people think!"

"Even if you go in the most ordinary carriage, they will still think it's unfair."

They endured the flood, but the imperial court's imperial envoys were sitting in a carriage, the heavens were cruel!

"Does Qingqing want to walk?"

Wutou, where the flood is the worst, is tens of thousands of miles away from Shuntian Mansion, and it takes a month to ride a carriage, let alone walk.

"When we walk over, the flood will recede by itself." Mu Qingtian said angrily.

"So, it doesn't matter what kind of carriage it is."

Zhu Youtang personally ordered officers and soldiers to follow Mu Qingtian to prevent unreasonable uprisings.Gu Fan was wearing armor and riding on a horse, with a military adviser sitting in the carriage behind him.

"Do you still need a military division for disaster relief?" Mu Qingtian quietly asked.

Zhu Jingshou rubbed his head pamperingly, and said, "Military advisors are not only useful in wars, they can also give advice in ordinary times."

"So it is."

The military advisor's name is "Liu Duan", and I don't know if it's a coincidence that he has the same surname as Liu Guizhou.

Gu Fan packed his bags, opened the curtain and said to the people inside: "Xiaoying, the road ahead is very long, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell dad."

father?

Who knew that Liu Duan didn't appreciate Gu Fan's affection at all, and said indifferently: "The disaster relief is a big matter, the grassroots will not drag everyone down, Master Gu doesn't need to remind."

"Little Shadow..."

"Master Gu, the Caomin's surname is Liu and their name is Duan. I don't know who 'Xiaoying' is calling?"

Pain flashed in Gu Fan's eyes, he put down the car curtain silently without saying anything.

Mu Qingtian quickly retracted his gossip head, but Gu Fan still saw him and gave him a hard look.

"Hey, Gu Fan, a scumbag, won't have an affair with a military adviser, will he?"

Zhu Jingshou learned a lot of new words from Mu Qingtian, among them "scumbag".

"So Qingqing likes this kind of thing?"

Mu Qingtian tilted his head, what kind?

He soon came to his senses... His Royal Highness King Qing's mind was probably not filled with the world, but yellow mud.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Zhu Jingshou smiled and grabbed Mu Qingtian to scratch his hand, "I don't know much about Gu Fan, I only know that Liu Guizhou has an adopted son named Gu Yuanying."

Oh - it turns out that the scumbag wants to play the family card.

"My lord, everything is ready." Xiao Yi said outside the car.

"Set off."

Qian Duoduo did not follow everyone to Shuntian Mansion, but went to Hangzhou Mansion to find a family named Zhang to learn how to do business.

Hearing that Mu Qingtian was going to Wutou, Duoduo asked Master for leave, packed his bags and set off, preparing to meet Mu Qingtian at Wutou.

After walking out of Shuntian Mansion, the surroundings suddenly became depressed—compared to the capital city.Mu Qingtian sat in the carriage and flipped through the roster in his hand, looking for suspicious persons.

He still believed that Li Guang planted spies in the team, because he had already taken the medicine, so there was no need for Li Guang to send someone to deliver the antidote to him.

In the afternoon, the team rested.Gu Fan picked some fruits not far away and came back, and handed them to Liu Duan who was sitting on the rock panting.

Liu Duan was picked up by Liu Guizhou from the mass grave, and he was only breathless. Luckily, Liu Guizhou had excellent medical skills, otherwise he would have met King Hades earlier.However, he has since fallen to the root of the disease and cannot exercise vigorously.

Liu Duan wasn't supposed to accompany him, but he overheard Gu Fan's words, saying that he met a strange person at the Lantern Festival, who might be Liu Guizhou, and asked them to investigate.

When Liu Guizhou was still the wife of General Zhenwu, Liu Duan respected Gu Fan as his father.But after Liu Guizhou was kicked out, he no longer trusted Gu Fan and regarded him as an enemy.

He changed his name to "Liu Duan", which means "one cut and two breaks".

Liu Duan's greatest wish in this life is to find his adoptive father, Liu Guizhou, to accompany him by his side.So after hearing the news about Liu Guizhou, he would follow whatever he said.

"Xiaoying... Liu Duan, father picked some fruits for you."

Liu Duan turned his head while holding the water bag, without even looking at Gu Fan.

Mu Qingtian was greedy, and when he got up, Zhu Jingshou pinched the back of his neck.

"Qingqing wants to eat, I asked Xiaosi to pick it up."

Xiaosi: My lord, my lord, I am also a secret guard of the palace after all.

"Do I want to eat fruit?" Mu Qingtian blushed, "I'm here to find out information!"

Eat fruit by the way.

Zhu Jingshou had no choice but to help him out of the carriage and watched him jolt towards Liu Duan.

"Military Master, I'm a little hungry, can I share some of this fruit?" Mu Qingtian also disappeared, and sat down next to Liu Duan.

Liu Duan stood up and wanted to salute, but Mu Qingtian pushed him back onto the stone.

Mu Qingtian stared at his palm in surprise.It turns out there are people weaker than him!Master Mu is mighty!

Gu Fan frowned, and said in a stern tone: "Master Mu is not staying in the carriage, why are you running around?"

Liu Duan was not happy anymore.Gu Fan always speaks in this tone, as if everyone else is his soldier, even with his adoptive father.

"Lord Mu, Caomin can't finish eating so many fruits by himself. If you want to eat, let's go together."

"Yeah."

Gu Fan hated Mu Qingtian more and more, especially Xiaoying showed a tendency to be close to Mu Qingtian.

Seeing that Gu Fan didn't bring the fruit for a long time, Liu Duan sneered and said, "It seems that Mr. Gu looks down on us."

"Master Mu, the trees in front are relatively low, maybe you can pick one or two and try something new."

How dare Gu Fan let his son climb a tree, he quickly put the cloth containing the washed berries on Liu Duan's leg.

"Master Gu, is there anything else?" Liu Duan didn't even lift his eyelids.

"...Nothing, you eat slowly, tell me if you don't have enough."

After Gu Fan left, Mu Qingtian approached Liu Duan mysteriously, and asked him, "Hey, you don't mind."

Liu Duan is very smart and knows what Mu Qingtian is talking about.

"I'm not a very powerful person. It's fate for us to meet, so it's better to be called you and me." Mu Qingtian added, "Go on."

"Never mind." Liu Duan clenched his fists, "I hope my adoptive father can marry a woman to start a family, even if she is not beautiful, as long as she is considerate."

During the days in the General's Mansion, others envied him for soaring into the sky - but he wished he could rush out of the General's Mansion with Liu Guizhou and never come back again.

"General Gu feels guilty towards your adoptive father, but what if one day he gets impatient and kicks you out?"

"When I care about his general's mansion?" Liu Duan was emotional, a little out of breath, "If I didn't live up to it, I would have left here long ago to find my adoptive father."

Gu Fan rushed to challenge Li Guang in the hall, but kept his voice low in front of Liu Duan, because he knew very well that as long as he said a wrong word, Liu Duan would leave without hesitation.

Xiaoying was the only thought that Guizhou left for him, and when he saw Xiaoying, he could recall the time he spent together day and night.

No matter what, Gu Fan will not chase Liu Duan away.

"Calm down, calm down." Mu Qingtian was afraid that Liu Duan would not be able to catch his breath, so he quickly stroked his chest to help him breathe.

Vinegar can't sit still.

He came over and took away the concubine who was messing around everywhere, and asked Gu Fan to come and save her.

Gu Fan hurried over, took out the medicine bottle from his arms, and fed Liu Duan two red pills here and there.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I won't do it next time." Mu Qingtian reflected on the carriage.

"Raise your head." Zhu Jingshou said.

"I really know I was wrong!" Mu Qingtian shrank his neck.

Zhu Jingshou had no choice but to lean over and kiss Mu Qingtian's lips from below.

"Never apologize to me for outsiders." Zhu Jingshou let go of Mu Qingtian.

"In my eyes, Qingqing is the most important thing."

Liu Duan lay in the carriage, choked his own neck, widened his eyes, and let out a painful "ho ho".After a while, he finally calmed down.

Gu Fan's brow was sweating anxiously, and he couldn't help holding Liu Duan's hand.

"Let go, let go..."

"How much medicine is left?"

Gu Fan was heartbroken, and said comfortingly, "There are more, don't worry."

Liu Duan smiled weakly twice.

"It won't be long before I can meet my adoptive father."

Liu Duan's body needs long-term recuperation, Liu Guizhou was kicked out of the general's mansion, he had no choice but to take Liu Duan with him, so he could only leave life-saving medicine, hoping that Gu Fan could continue to take care of Liu Duan.

"Yes." Gu Fan nodded, "Soon our family of three will be reunited."

"what."

Liu Duan laughed and said, "Who will 'family of three' with you."

"The last thing foster father wants to see again in this life is you, an ungrateful villain!"

Gu Fan walked out of the carriage with a heavy heart, took out the bottle and counted the pills in it.

Up to seven times, the eighth attack, the gods can't save Liu Duan.

Gu Fan lived like a joke.

Almost five days after departure, the convoy went to a deserted place and had to sleep in the open tonight.

"Lord Mu, I don't know if you are free now, but I have something to report." The left servant of the Ministry of Industry came over and said humbly.

"Go ahead."

"There are many bridges in the south, most of which were built by the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, which is different from the Shuntian Prefecture."

Zuo Shilang picked up a branch at random, wrote and drew in front of the fire, and finally put away his pen.

【plum】

Mu Qingtian put down the clothes in his hands, picked up a branch, and pointed to the bridge structure diagram on the ground to ask questions.

【Know】

When getting into the carriage to sleep at night, Mu Qingtian mentioned this matter to Zhu Jingshou.

"Impossible." Zhu Jingshou retorted instantly, "The left servant belongs to Ma Wensheng."

Mu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll try him again."

Zuo Shilang is Ma Wensheng's disciple, so it should be impossible for him to collude with Li Guang.As for his abnormal behavior tonight, the only reasonable explanation is that Ma Wensheng was testing Mu Qingtian.

In the next few days, Mu Qingtian took the initiative to find Zuo Shilang, and secretly told him about Li Guang.

On the appointed day, Zuo Shilang ignored Mu Qingtian all day, but during a break, a pill suddenly appeared next to the stone where Mu Qingtian was sitting.

"My lord, I saw it." Xiao Yi reported quietly.

"very good."

Without any effort, Zhu Jingshou grabbed the chess piece that Li Guang buried with them.

Just in case, Mu Qingtian took the pill to test Zuo Shilang.

"Hey! I dropped something!"

Zuo Shilang was frightened by the startled Mu Qingtian, and asked, "What is it?"

"Round, brown." Mu Qingtian said very clearly.

"Help me, my lord, look for it together."

Mu Qingtian threw the pills and pearls at Zuo Shilang's feet to see which one he would pick up first.

"My lord, is it this pearl?" Zuo Shilang stood up and asked.

"Yes, that's it, thank you very much."

Zhu Jingshou saw everything in his eyes, and the expression on his face became more and more intriguing.

This Ma Wensheng stretched his arms too far.

Zuo Shilang couldn't be Li Guang's person, he could only be sent by Ma Wensheng to monitor Mu Qingtian.The important ministers of the four dynasties are old, without the courage of their youth, and become indecisive in doing things.

Loyalty is always the same.

The closer to the south, the worse the situation on the road.

Hunger is everywhere, and countless people are displaced and homeless.Mountains of people gathered outside each city. They wanted to enter the city, and they didn't want to starve to death.

The good people in the city tried their best to give porridge outside the city, but due to the flood, all the rice in the first season was flooded and there was no harvest.Food prices soared all the way, and many merchants sold the salt in their hands at a low price.

"This is a natural disaster..."

Mu Qingtian was well aware of the power of the flood, and he himself died in the flood in Xiaoheye Village, which was the fear engraved on his soul.

At night, Mu Qingtian kept having nightmares.

He dreamed that Zhu Jingshou was standing on the embankment and shouting, commanding officers and soldiers to save people.

"Come down quickly, the waves are coming!!!" Mu Qingtian screamed in horror.

A wave hit, and nothing was left.

He dreamed of his mourning hall again, and saw Zhu Jingshou stumbling into it.
