Tangled

Chapter 136

The figure quickly avoided, and wanted to pounce on it again, but was blocked again.

Being blocked twice in a row, Aman was very unwilling, stopped and glared at Gu Tingshu angrily.

"Get closer to her and I'll kill you."

His eyes were full of murderous intent, his indifferent tone was tinged with coolness, and the sharp sword in his hand gleamed coldly.

Having been with Gu Tingshu for so long, Mu Chengze knew that he was really murderous right now.

He pulled Amang over and slapped him on the back of the head with his backhand.

"How old are you, why are you still so reckless, my cousin is a girl, what's the matter with you rushing to her?"

"If you do this again, I won't help you next time."

After lecturing A Mang, Mu Chengze turned his head to look at Gu Tingshu again, "Ashu, I have already taught you a lesson, he has a long memory, calm down."

Shen Qiqi was still sitting on the cart, after such a commotion, several people looked at her one after another.

Although she was wearing a veil, she was still very embarrassed to be stared at like this.

Gu Tingshu moved and hid her whole body behind her. His eyes full of murderous intent scanned the circle and saw that everyone looked away before putting the long sword back into its sheath.

"Since this son is with you, then we will leave first."

The catcher was about to leave, but stopped when he turned around, "The roads are not smooth these days, you guys should be careful when you travel."

Even though he knew that the martial arts of these people in front of him were not weak, but he had been a headhunter for many years, and he couldn't help but give a few words of advice.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can rest in the town ahead for a few days. After we investigate, it's not too late to hurry."

Originally, there was only one relationship, and the other party was able to say these things, which was obviously very kind.

Mu Chengze glanced at his official uniform, smiled and cupped his fists, "Thank you for your kind reminder, the head catcher."

When the other party left, Mu Chengze fanned himself, frowned and looked up.

"Ashu, let's go quickly, the day is getting hotter and hotter, maybe it will rain."

There was still some breeze in the morning, but now not only is there no breeze, but the air has become much heavier, and he can hear his own voice every time he breathes.

The breath he exhaled was very hot, as if he was being slapped by steam.

Layers of sticky sweat appeared on his body, and his face seemed to be covered with dirt.

"When I go to the town, I need to take a good bath, and I need someone to come in and wait for me to wipe off the dust on my body."

It's not that he's exaggerating, it's that after walking for so long, the dust has covered layer after layer. Just now he secretly rubbed his neck, and he was able to rub off a lot of mud.

Thinking of his dignified prince, his body is so dirty, if those girls in the capital know about it, they will have to despise him to death.

Although he also dislikes the other party, there is a big difference between being disliked and being disliked by the other party.

Even if he didn't say anything, Gu Tingshu would stay.

Last time, it was agreed to send people back to Kyoto after arriving at the foothold. There was no chance before, but this time is just right.

There will definitely be a caravan going to Kyoto in the town, even if there is no caravan, just send the people halfway and let Shi Yi come to pick them up.

"Let's go."

When they entered the town gate, they thought they would have to pay an entrance fee, but the other party only checked the directions and let them in.

Because it is close to the border, even if the terrain is extremely dangerous, the big cities or small towns here are all built with city walls.

After entering, I can occasionally see foreigners who come here to do business. The other party lives in the mountains and is tall and tall, like a beast in the mountains.

Most of them are in the fur business. Some of them can't find a suitable buyer or can't negotiate a price, or the quality of their fur is too poor, so they set up stalls on the side of the road.

When they entered, the horse and the cart were led away, and the other party gave a sign, saying that they could claim it with the sign before leaving.

Although this town is not big, it does things in an orderly manner, and the police patrolling the streets did not raise eyebrows at the merchants.

It can be expected that the county magistrate here is a good parent official.

Everyone found a place to stay. The shopkeeper was an old man with gray hair. He held an abacus in one hand and a ledger in the other. He sat behind the counter and crackled his abacus.

Several people opened four upper rooms, and when the younger brother lured them up, Mu Chengze said everything he wanted.

Food is indispensable, and in Aman's room, there are more than two servings, and it is still hot water, so it must be brought quickly.

"Go and help me find a back scrubber, etc., and I want someone with strong hands and a full meal. If you don't clean up the mud on my body, I won't give you a reward."

After he gave the order, he casually handed over a few coins.

Seeing that there was a reward, the younger brother quickly bent down to accept it.

"Okay, I'll go get ready now, and the uncle will rest for a while."

The second brother who got the bounty ran downstairs, and Aman stood at the door, staring at Mu Chengze while biting his nails.

Mu Chengze didn't care at first, but he opened the door, and Aman followed to the door to stare, so he had to care.

"What are you doing? I have flowers on my face?"

Mu Chengze touched his face as he spoke, and after making sure that there was nothing on his face, he rolled his eyes.

Amang chuckled, walked two steps into the door, and stretched out his hand towards him.

"Money money."

"what?"

Mu Chengze didn't expect that he would ask for money, he froze for a moment, then took out the money bag, took the copper coin and was about to hand it to him, then took it back abruptly.

"It's not impossible to give you money, but what do you do with the money?"

He has no shortage of food or drink, and his brain is not very good, and it seems that he can't use it if he asks for money.

Amang bit his lip, thinking about the candy he just saw, his saliva almost flowed out.

"Buy food, delicious food."

Although Mu Chengze didn't know what delicious food he wanted to buy, seeing his drooling appearance, he quickly handed over the copper plate, and then drove him out with a disgusted expression.

"Go back to your room, food and hot water will be delivered in a short while, you have to wash yourself."

After finishing speaking, he was still worried, and looked up and down at Amon suspiciously, "Can you take a bath? How about I find someone to help you?"

Aman's brain has some problems, but he is not a fool. Being looked down upon like this made him lose his temper.

He stepped out with heavy steps, perhaps to vent his dissatisfaction, and closed the door heavily.

Mu Chengze's brows twitched because of his actions, and he said "Hey", "I paid for the food and drink, you still dare to lose your temper with me."

"If I didn't have important things to do now, I would beat you up and down."

Amon didn't hear what he said, he went out with the copper coins, and when he came back, the food and hot water hadn't been served yet.

He held a few sugar figurines in his hand, and when he was about to knock on Shen Qiqi's door, he stopped again.

He strained his ears to secretly listen to the movement inside, and dared to knock on the door only after he was sure that there was only one person.

"Sister, open the door quickly, I have candy."
