Chapter 782

Braving the rain, Naren rode his horse and rushed to the door of Mu Tong's new palace.

With a whip, she drove away the doormen who tried to stop her from entering. She kicked open the door of the house, strode up to Mu Tong, snatched the brush from Mu Tong's hand, pushed the desk case together with the inkstone memorial, and let them scatter on the floor.

"Tell me why you want to surrender, why!" she asked sternly.

Mu Tong didn't even look at her, she just slumped down on the high chair behind her, raised her legs on the table, closed her eyes, and said, "What's all the fuss about? I'm this kind of person. If it weren't for me Being good at taking advantage of the situation, I have died countless times."

Naren said angrily: "Don't give me these words that I don't understand! Do you think I really don't understand? When I was a kid, I fell in love with you because you were willing to go out of your way to help your friends and brothers. You would rather break than bend! But now you are here What are you doing? You betrayed the Red Waist Army, betrayed Xiao Yezi—you traitor! Shameless traitor!"

Mu Tong snorted softly: "Traitor? Haven't I been a traitor a long time ago? From the day I left the Tuotan army to follow Little Leaf, I am no longer a member of the same clan in the eyes of the Tuotar people."

"That's not the case!" Naren shouted loudly, "If that were the case, would there be so many brothers of the same race following you in your expeditions from west to east? They trust you and are willing to follow you and help you!"

Mu Tong sneered: "I don't think so. At least half of them are your retainers, right? If you hadn't ordered them to help me, why would they have abandoned their own clan and followed me? After all, I still have to thank you."

Naren didn't expect that he would be so indifferent, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Amul, you were not like this before. Do you still remember the day of your eleventh birthday? A dozen of our brothers and sisters on the grassland knelt in front of Changshengtian , agreed to be each other's An Da, and never leave each other forever. You led them to join the Red waist army, saying that they would fight for justice, fight for fairness, and fight for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. These are what you personally promised to them . I have some status, but if you don’t do the right thing, they won’t follow you. Each of us knows that what this world needs is not power, but love, righteousness, trust, and peace. But As soon as you turned around, you broke your oath, became the lackey of those evil people, and allowed your brothers to be separated. I don't understand, what happened to you? "

Mu Tong picked up a pen and turned it around in his hand, with a nonchalant look on his face: "They are too rigid and don't understand the operation of power. If I were as stubborn as them, would I be able to be a prince today? People need to be aware of current affairs. , opportunities will not always wait for others.”

"Prince? What is a prince?" Naren said angrily, "If you want a prince, you will have the opportunity when you are in Tuotar. As long as you fulfill our engagement, my brother's general position will be yours. But you are not that Do it, doesn’t this prove it? Stop telling those lies to deceive me! Tell me, what happened to you? Why did you become like this? Just tell me, please!”

Mu Tong smiled contemptuously: "What are the princes of Tuotar? Comparable to the colorful world of the Central Plains? Now that I have the Zhaoyin Li family as my back, and the title is hereditary, isn't it better than suffering in the wind on the grassland?"

Naren shook his head and said: "Amur, although our conditions in Tuotar are difficult and not as rich as here, every one of us grassland children is the wind that will live forever in the world. We will do what we want to do. The truth we believe in, Let's just do it. This is the original intention of us Tutars. Those officials, including my father and uncle, were all blinded by wealth and power, but you are not such a person. You must have something. Difficulties. I know I have no ability, but... I want to tell you, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will face it with you. I believe in you, even if you abandon your own clan for this, even if you are spurned by thousands of people, I will I want to accompany you to do the right thing. I don’t care what others think, in my heart, you are the emperor and nobles. I don’t want to see you become someone else’s slave because of temporary difficulties or confusion. That would be more embarrassing than killing me. I'm sad."

Mu Tong was silent for a moment, then shrugged, stood up and walked to the window, turning his back to Naren and sneered: "In your heart? Who are you? Even your brother is a prisoner now. A pariah, your approval is How much is it worth? You don’t have to judge your ability. We have different opinions, so there is no need to say more. Seeing that we have just met each other in the past, I won’t find anyone to chase you away. I still have official business to do, so you can go on your own and don’t delay me here. thing."

Naren gritted her teeth and cried, "Okay, okay, I'm leaving." She was heartbroken and turned around to leave, but she stepped on a pile of letters at her feet. She was so angry that she grabbed the stack of letters and was about to throw it at Mu Tong, but before she could get rid of it, she saw half of the envelope falling out of the envelope.

It was a threatening letter. The few numbers used her life as a weight to coerce Mu Tong into submission.

She was stunned, tears streaming down her face. Turning around with difficulty, she dropped the letter and kicked it aside silently, pretending that she had never seen it.

Using all her strength, she left one last angry scolding: "I am blind to know such a bastard like you. From now on, I will never see you again!"

Mu Tong did not turn around, she only heard the footsteps quickly leaving behind her, from near to far, until there was no sound. He grabbed the window lattice and closed his eyes. Outside the window, drizzle continued.

Lanjing City Palace, Li Qian's bedroom.

Li Qian felt distressed and took a piece of felt for Naren, carefully surrounded her, and said angrily: "It's raining, why didn't you come here without an umbrella?" He leaned down and looked into the corner of her eyes, " Why are you so popular? Are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Naren shook her head, wrapped herself tightly in blankets, and her voice trembled: "It's okay. I was angry with the gangsters on the street." Li Qian frowned: "These common people are so bold and dare to bully nobles. Tell me which family they are from? I will send troops immediately and teach them to die without leaving their bodies intact."

Naren shook her head again: "They bully others, and I can't stand it. I've already beaten them with a whip. Don't make a big deal out of a small matter. It's not good for your reputation either."

Being cared about by her made Li Qian's heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but hold her hand and said softly, "It's rare to hear you care about me."

Naren raised her head and smiled at him: "Don't you care about me too?"

I have never seen such a mature smile on her, which added a touch of feminine charm to her already youthful appearance. Li Qianping retreated from the crowd, sat next to her, and lowered her voice: "I like you, so naturally I care about you."

Naren smiled calmly: "There are so many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, why do you like me? Even in Tuotar, I am not the most beautiful girl."

Li Qian put her hand in his arms to warm it and said, "But you are the most real one. Others love me because they love my identity and the power in my hands, but you don't. You have a straightforward temperament, Whatever is in your heart, you will say what you say on your face, and you will not lie to others just because of other things.”

Naren raised her eyes and stared into his eyes, and smiled again: "Is it because of this?"

Li Qian felt a little embarrassed by her clear eyes. He hesitated for a long time and then said: "I can't lie...Actually...it's because of your...your..."

Naren smiled and said: "My identity?"

Li Qian hesitated and hesitated, then nodded: "...You are the noble lady who is the head of the three great families of Tuota. You know, although we expelled the people from the Yuanzheng Empire, now that Zhaoyin has returned to the country, Tuota has become a Our neighboring tribes...we also need to win over and divide them. If we are together, it will be a good thing for the future of your brother and your tribe, isn't it?"

Naren hummed: "I understand. When I was a child, adults taught me that interracial marriage is a way to maintain peace between the two races."

Li Qian nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes. But... I want you to know that I like you, not just for marriage."

Naren hummed again: "I know. I know you are good to me."

Li Qian has never experienced such smooth progress since the two of them started dating. He was young and impulsive, and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly: "Naren, I know I may not be your first choice. But... ...I, Li Qian, promise that I will be good to you. Please marry me, okay? Let me use time to prove that I will be the right choice for you."

After a long time, Naren nodded: "Okay."

Li Qian said in surprise: "Really? You agreed? Won't you regret it?"

Naren smiled softly, her smile as bright as a flower blooming in the sun: "No. I swear by the sanctity of the Immortal Heaven, this will definitely be the choice I will least regret in my life."

Li Qian tried to kiss her lips. She closed her eyes and let him pick up the sweet fragrance on her lips. He was overjoyed and urged while kissing: "Then... when will we set the wedding date... You know, those nobles have been discussing how to deal with your brother, and I am also arguing with them. If we get married as soon as possible, I believe we will be able to have a strong marriage. Fight back against those nobles..."

She nodded: "...the sooner the better."
