Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 250 Self-destruction of being “forced to have no choice”

Zhao Mu was not surprised to see Mu Wanqing's surprised expression. Because Mu Wanqing and Duan Yu had previously killed the Lingjiu Palace envoy who went to the Wuliang Sword Sect. And pretending to be someone from Lingjiu Palace, he rescued Zhong Ling who was detained in the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Now that the people from Lingjiu Palace appeared in front of him again, how could Mu Wanqing not be surprised?

Zhao Mu then smoothed things over and said, "Okay! Get up! There may have been someone sent by the emperor among those people just now. There are no outsiders here now. We can talk about our own people."

Hu Yanjin was always smart, so she asked, "So, you just acted on the occasion?"

Zhao Mutian replied shamelessly: "That's right. Now that I have been granted the title of King, no matter it is the person in the Dragon Court or the ministers in the court, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. Of course I I have to keep a low profile and live my life behind closed doors. And you all know in your heart what I can do. The emperor now attaches great importance to me and plans to reuse me. But if I don’t pretend to be greedy for beauty, The Emperor may not be able to sleep."

Hu Yanjin lowered her brows and said, "I understand!" After saying that, Hu Yanjin cupped her hands and smiled, "Your Majesty is really scheming! I admire you! I admire you!"

Zhao Mu coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! Princess Huyan, you are older than me."

"Hmm!!!" Hu Yanjin frowned and looked at Zhao Mu, who then swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Mu Wanqing looked at the two of them, and then snorted coldly and said: "You two are really a couple! They talk like a cloud. What are you talking about?"

Hu Yanjin looked at Mu Wanqing and said: "Princess Zhaohua has been among the people for a long time and does not know the pros and cons of this court. But do you know the saying, 'The best birds are hidden in the bows, and the cunning rabbits are cooked by the running dogs'."

Mu Wanqing nodded and said, "Of course I know. This is about the story of Wen Zhong, a Yue official who did not listen to Tao Zhugong's advice and retired after his success, and was eventually killed by Gou Jian when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony. Although my mother and I stayed in the mountains for a long time, , but I have also heard of this drama.”

Hu Yanjin nodded and explained patiently: "That's right. Since ancient times, most of the ministers who have made meritorious deeds cannot escape the fate of being cooked to death. The language of Yue is like this, Qin's Bai Qi is like this, and Han Dynasty is like this." The same is true for Han Xin. This is true for ordinary heroes, not to mention that King Zhongshan is a member of the clan and a descendant of Taizu. To be disrespectful, his status can even compete for the throne. If he does not follow this method, he will defile himself. If so, I'm afraid I'll end up like Han Xin, the literary type."

Hu Yanjin looked at Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum Sijian and said, "But the appearance of these four little sisters is really strange. I have seen a lot of twins, but I have never seen four twins."

Hearing what Hu Yanjin said, Mu Wanqing's anger subsided a bit. But seeing so many women around Zhao Mu, and seeing the carefree look of Zhao Mu just now, Mu Wanqing was still furious.

Mu Wanqing murmured: "I don't think there's any need to pretend about his lustful behavior!"

Now Mu Wanqing is engaged to Zhao Mu, and she really regards Zhao Mu as her husband. A'Zhu, A'Zi, Hu Yanjin and Mu Wanqing didn't really care. Two are his biological sisters, and one is his close friend. But she hates it when men go around looking for flowers.

Seeing that Mu Wanqing's anger seemed to have subsided a little, Zhao Mu immediately turned his back on the guest and began to "raise troops to investigate the crime."

Zhao Mu asked at this time: "By the way! Why are you two here! Especially you, Wan'er! Shouldn't you come with the wedding team? Now that you are here, where is your father-in-law?"

As Zhao Mu said this, he looked at Hu Yanjin. He could clearly feel that Hu Yanjin's strength was much stronger now. In terms of gas state alone, it was not much different from that of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. If it's one-on-one, it's still unclear who will win and who will lose.

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and said, "If I remember correctly, Princess Huyan should be learning skills from her senior brother in the Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute Valley. Could it be that the princess is so talented that she has sent me to Xiaoyao in just a few months?" Have you mastered all the secret arts? Then I am afraid that my position as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect will have to abdicate in favor of others!"

Mei Jian said at this time: "Ah! Is this girl also from our Xiaoyao Sect?" Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Yes! Let me introduce you solemnly, this is the disciple of Su Xinghe, the great disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, Song Zhongxiao The four princesses under the king’s knees are Miss Hu Yanjin.”

Upon hearing this, the Four Swords all bowed their hands to Hu Yanjin, but did not bow down.

Hu Yanjin returned the favor out of politeness. However, Hu Yanjin said: "Your Majesty, aren't these four your maids? Why are the treatments between me and Princess Zhaohua so different?"

Zhao Mu chuckled and said: "This is natural. Wan'er is my wife, and I am the young master of Lingjiu Palace, the head of Xiaoyao Sect. They are my maids, so they naturally recognize Wan'er as their mistress, and The etiquette is naturally very respectful. As for Princess Huyan, you are just a disciple of the eldest brother. Although Mei Lan, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum Sijian is the maid of the eldest uncle and has not officially entered the palace, he can still be regarded as half of his disciple. Lingjiu Palace is the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect. If they are within the Xiaoyao Sect, the four of them would be the same as me in terms of seniority. It is not bad for the four of them to give you a courtesy."

Hu Yanjin smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that I have fallen behind a junior level by being a senior teacher."

Zhao Mu said: "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. What's going on with you? Princess Huyan, that's all. Wan'er, you ran out privately. If this is known by the Song Dynasty court, something big may happen. .”

Hu Yanjin asked: "Don't you ask how we got in first?"

Zhao Mu sneered and said: "The servants and guardians in my mansion are all ordinary martial artists, and the ones with strong martial arts are all around me. It is not difficult for you two to get into my place with your skills. Why should I ask again? ?”

Hearing Zhao Mu's confused words, Hu Yanjin had no choice but to shut up.

Zhao Mu walked up to Mu Wanqing and said seriously: "Wan'er! This is not a trivial matter. What's going on?"

Mu Wanqing took off her curtain hat at this time. After looking around, she sat down and poured herself some water.

Mu Wanqing wiped her mouth with her sleeves and said, "What else could be going on? I just don't want to go with my father."

Zhao Mu scolded: "How can marriage be a piece of cake! You are too willful."

Mu Wan glanced at Zhao Mu innocently, and then said: "What are you in a hurry for? This is what my father agreed to. Besides, being a princess and having to stand up all day is exhausting. I'll just ask Sister A'Zhu for help." Don't worry, Princess Zhaohua is still receiving your wedding officials from the Song Dynasty as calm as a rock. The only person here is Mu Wanqing. And I think Sister A'Zhu is much more dignified than a 'wild girl' like me. "

"My father also thinks it would be better to let A'Zhu handle those scenes for me. At least the dignity of Dali Kingdom will not be lost, and it can be said to be foolproof. After sister A'Zhu helps me deal with the complicated etiquette, the two of us will change Come back. So I obtained my father’s permission and Sister A’Zhu’s permission, so I set out on my own and returned to Bianjing in advance to find you.”

"It's just that you haven't been here during this time, and I don't know many people. It happened that I saw Sister Huyan coming back that day, and I have been with her during this time. Today I heard that you were back, so we came to see you. But your concierge said you were closed to guests. We thought you were sick, so we sneaked in to see you. Who knew we would disturb your enjoyment!"

Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since my father-in-law agreed, I have nothing to say."
