At midnight, it was definitely not the time to visit. Lao Tao was not such an impatient person. There must be a reason for his arrival at this time.

Tao Mo hurriedly got up to the hall, and saw Lao Tao sitting there with a blue face and a hunched back, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Lao Tao? What happened?"

When Lao Tao saw him, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Young Master."

Tao Mo walked near him and saw that his lips were white and bloodless, which was incomparable to his thrill of spirit when he parted, and he was even more worried: "What happened?"

Lao Tao sighed and said, "This matter is a long story, so I won't mention it for now. I'm here for two things. The first thing is that the Censor of the Supervisory Censor had already handled Huang Guangde's case not long ago. However, before he could hear the news, Huang Guangde committed suicide and apologized. Before he died, he wrote a confession and took all the blame on himself. However, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor seemed unwilling to close the case, but he was afraid that he would continue to investigate and sentence him to raid his home and exile."

Tao Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Speaking of which, he and Huang Guangde can be regarded as a grudge like the sea. Now, Tao Mo was happy to hear that he committed suicide by fear of guilt, but he also felt a little emotional. Huang Guangde's fate just gave him a wake-up call. In the officialdom, he is most susceptible to being deceived by power and wealth. If he loses his nature and forgets his original intention of becoming an official, then even if the people tolerate it, God will punish him!

Tao Mo said: "This is the first one, what about the second one?"

Lao Tao said: "I'm leaving for a while."

Tao Mo frowned and said, "Now?"

Lao Tao glanced at Hao Guozi.

Hao Guozi immediately said: "Old Tao originally planned to leave just by leaving a message, but I was forced to pull him. Young Master, you advised him that he was obviously injured, but he refused to take a good rest. He still had to run around, and he didn't know how old he was."

When Lao Tao heard him talking, he felt a splitting headache and said to Tao Mo: "Young Master, you know that I am skilled in martial arts, and ordinary people cannot hurt me."

Hao Guozi said: "Ordinary people cannot hurt you, so the one who hurts you is naturally not ordinary people. Isn't this more dangerous?"

Lao Tao said: "Young Master, please relax."

Hao Guozi said: "How can you relax when you are so hurt?"

Tao Mo was so hard that he heard Tao Mo every word he said, and he felt that it was a hundred times more difficult than going to court to trial. His eyes couldn't help but find Gu She's figure.

It seemed that he had a heart-to-heart relationship, and Gu She was wearing her clothes at this moment.

Although Lao Tao didn't know what Tao Mo and Gu She were doing before, he could guess what point Gu She looked at her face at this moment, and the old face couldn't help but feel a little blushing. "Young Master Gu, I'm disturbing."

Six words, meaningful.

Gu She looked at his face, frowned, and walked over and stretched out his hand.

Old Tao was stunned for a moment and hesitated to reach out his hand.

Gu She took his pulse and said for a while: "Internal injury?"

Seeing that he could not hide it, Old Tao had to say, "It's just a martial arts teenager, not worth mentioning."

Gu She let go of her hands and said, "I was seriously injured."

Tao Mo was still skeptical about what Hao Guozi said before. Now, after hearing Gu She said this, Tao Mo no longer had any doubts and said to Lao Tao: "You should stay for rest. If you have any questions, just leave it to Hao Guozi to do."

Hao Guozi also agreed on the side.

Lao Tao sighed and said, "I must go there in person."

Tao Mo and Hao Guozi looked at him with a hurried eyes, and even Gu She showed some disagreement in her eyes.

Lao Tao said: "At this point, I will no longer hide it from you. In fact, I am the elder of the Demon Cult."

Tao Mo had known it before, but had no reaction.

Hao Guozi had no reaction to the Demon Cult at all.

Gu She was there, and he didn't seem to be surprised by this answer.

The three of them all had such calm expressions, which made Lao Tao feel a little fussy, "Do you still remember Mu Chun, who had been to my yamen before? He is also one of the elders of my sect. The reason he left in a hurry was because my sect was attacked by foreign sects on the border."

Tao Mo and Hao Guozi don’t understand the affairs of the martial arts world. Although Gu She understands it, he is not a person in the martial arts world. He has only heard of these grievances and has not cared about them. Therefore, the three of them still did not express any surprise expressions.

Lao Tao said next: "It's just that paganism is very mysterious, and its martial arts are very strange. Duanmu, oh, that is, Mu Chun disappeared in a conflict with the other party."

"Ah. Missing!" Tao Mo finally understood this, "Then have you found it?"

Lao Tao shook his head, "I got this news in the capital, so I rushed to join the other elders and prepared to go back to Pi Nishan to discuss the matter. Who knew that we were ambushed on the road!"

Tao Mo said: "Is it a pagan person?"

Lao Tao said: "It is not known yet, but the other party's martial arts methods are indeed unheard of, and they have never seen them. I am afraid that if there are ten people, they will be pagans."

Hao Guozi couldn't help but say, "What about later?" He had already regarded Lao Tao as a storyteller and was fascinated by the hearing.

Lao Tao said: "We were all injured, of course, the other party did not get a good deal. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ming Zun and Xueyi Hou arrived, which saved each other's lives!"

Tao Mo was gloomy when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything in the end. Jianghu and officialdom are two worlds. He thought that human life was greater than the sky, but Lao Tao regarded human life as grass. These were originally two concepts that went against each other, but he could not reverse Lao Tao's idea. Although he had never been involved in the world, he also knew that the people in the world lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. If he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces and his corpse would not exist. This is the law of the world.

When Lao Tao saw Tao Mo's expression, he knew that he heard his life unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Later, I was afraid that the young master would be thinking about it, so he hurriedly said goodbye to them and rushed back."

Hao Guozi said: "What should you do if you come back alone and encounter an ambush on the way?"

Lao Tao sneered and said, "Do you think there are countless top-notch masters in that pagan? I see that the group of masters who intercepted us halfway have already emerged from their sects. How can we find such a group of people so easily?"

Tao Mo said: "Then you said you wanted to leave, you were going..."

"Go to the border." Lao Tao said, "Dunmunai is a member of my Demon Sect. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the pagans!"

Tao Mo said: "But your injuries have not healed."

Lao Tao said: "This small injury can be cured on the road."

Tao Mo turned to look at Gu She, as if asking for his opinion.

Gu Shedao: "Old Tao must have the rightness of Old Tao."

Tao Mo frowned, and finally sighed helplessly. Lao Tao is the elder of the Demon Sect and he has no power to restrain him. He said that because he was concerned about them in his heart. If he left without saying a word, Tao Mo and others would have no choice.

Therefore, Tao Mo did not sleep well all night, and the next day, he stood up with Gu She and saw Lao Tao off the road to the outside of the city.

Old Tao sat in the carriage, looked at Tao Moyi's reluctant eyes, and said with a forced smile: "I have to leave you for a thousand miles, so why not just send it here."

Tao Mo held his hand and said sincerely: "If you encounter something, you will come back to Tanyang County. I'll wait for you in Tanyang County."

Old Tao smiled and said, "Do you have to encounter something before you can come? Even if you don't encounter anything, I will come back. This is my home." During these days in Tanyang County, he unknowingly forgot that he was once a powerful elder of the Demon Sect, and gradually adapted to the position of the old housekeeper of the yamen. If it weren't for Duanmu Huichun's accident this time, I'm afraid he would have retired to the countryside in the second half of his life and would no longer be concerned about the world.

When Tao Mo heard him say this, he forced a smile, then reminded Lao Tao a few more words before getting off the car with Gu She.

Seeing Lao Tao's carriage gradually fading away, Tao Mo felt heavy in his heart. "Maybe I should keep him." After all, he was at this age. He felt even more sad when he thought of his father.

Gu She said, "If he wants to stay, he will stay. If he wants to leave, who can stop him?"

Tao Mo said nothing.

Gu She suddenly took him into his arms.

Tao Mo was slightly surprised. Since he got married to Gu She, he rarely showed such intimate behavior outside.

"If you miss him, you will manage Tanyang County well so that he will have no worries." Gu She said softly.

Tao Mo slowly raised his hand and hugged his waist. The real touch made his heart feel at ease, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Okay. Let's manage Tanyang County together?"

"We?" Gu She smiled and let go of her hand, "I'm just a commoner."

Tao Mo hesitated: "But..."

"I just manage the Gu family well, so that you have no worries," a hint of joke flashed in Gu She's eyes, "Be a peaceful and virtuous supporter of the county magistrate."

Tao Mo's face suddenly turned red, "Then, I will come back to you with my monthly salary."

Gu She laughed and said, "Then Mrs. Lau."

"Let's go." Tao Mo held his sleeve, "I'm going to the county government."

Gu She reached out her hand from her sleeve and held his palm, "Yeah."

"Ah. Will this be seen?"

“Not entering the city yet.”

"But if you are caught by a passerby..."

“No one is on this road.”

"But……"

"Madam, if you don't want to, I'll let it go."

After a while, a shy voice sounded, "I think."

"Then walk slowly."
