24. Misfortunes do not come singly (6)(1/2)
Tao Mo looked him up and down, "Who is your lord?"
"In Xia Muchun." Muchun hugged her fists, and she felt a little chic in her politeness, "It's Lao Tao's old acquaintance."
Hao Guozi frowned and said, "How did you find this place?" They left their hometown without telling anyone.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two, I have no malice, I just want to find a friend to talk about the past."
Hao Guozi coughed dryly and muttered, "I didn't say you have any malice, there is no silver here."
"Since that's the case, you follow me." Although Tao Mo wanted to follow Gu She, he had to temporarily put down this thought and lead Mu Chun back to the county government. In fact, he was also very curious about the relationship between Mu Chun and Lao Tao. Somehow, when he saw this Mu Chun, he couldn't help but think of the old boss that Lao Tao once mentioned. Could it be that he is really a member of the old boss.
Mu Chun smiled at his frequent gaze, never showing any displeasure.
After entering the county government, Hao Guozi became very careful and asked Mu Chun to wait outside, and he and Tao Mo would first get along with Lao Tao. If someone was a messy person coming to the door, it would be easy to discuss how to get rid of it.
When Lao Tao heard someone looking for him, his face changed first, and when he heard that the other party's name was Mu Chun, he was stunned again.
Hao Guozi observed his expression and said in a lost voice: "Is it because Lao Tao and the illegitimate son of Lao Xiang came to the door?"
Old Tao suddenly turned his head and stared at him.
Hao Guozi shrank his head.
"What did you say just now?"
"No, I didn't say anything." Hao Guozi saw Lao Tao's stern expression for the first time, so how could he dare to admit it?
Lao Tao said: "You think his age can be my son?"
Hao Guozi was stunned by his sharp reversal of questions, and nodded for a while and said, "Indeed, he doesn't look much older than the young master."
"Mu Chun?" Lao Tao frowned, "Is he..."
"It's down." Mu Chun walked in from outside with a smile.
Hao Guozi said with his hips: "Why are you a person who is free to break free without being spread?"
Mu Chun bowed and said, "Sorry." But his eyes kept looking at Lao Tao.
Lao Tao had calmed down at this moment, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations on his face at all. "It turned out that it was Mr. Mu who came."
Mu Chun smiled and said, "It's so easy to say. I have long admired Lao Tao's reputation in the past. When I see him today, it's true that he is well-known."
Lao Tao said: "The next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, and talents emerge in the country. Now the world is yours."
Mu Chun said: "You are too humble. Your feats from that year are still circulating today. I have admired them all after hearing them."
Lao Tao's expression changed slightly, and he looked at him steadily, as if he wanted to see a hole in his elegant smile.
Hao Guozi pulled Tao Mo and whispered: "What are they saying? What is the reputation? What feat? Could it be that Lao Tao was a famous person before?" In fact, Lao Tao did not have a long time to enter the mansion, but he was capable, and Master Tao trusted him very much, so he became the chief manager of the Tao Mansion in just a few years, and Master Tao entrusted his orphans on his deathbed.
Tao Mo pondered: "Maybe, he is from Lao Tao's old boss."
"Old boss?" Hao Guozi was shocked and then worriedly said, "Then he won't take Lao Tao back, right?"
Although the two spoke softly, they were too close to each other, making Mu Chun and Lao Tao feel that they didn't hear it.
Lao Tao looked at Mu Chun and said slowly: "Let's talk later when we enter the house."
Mu Chun nodded with a smile and said, "That's what you mean."
After the two of them said that, they ignored Tao Mo and Muchun who were still standing there looking at them, and walked towards Lao Tao's room.
Hao Guozi wanted to follow, but Tao Mo grabbed him.
Hao Guozi opened his eyes wide, "Don't you want to know what they are talking about?"
"think."
"Then let's go." Hao Guozi just moved and was pulled back.
Tao Mo said seriously: "Don't listen if you are not polite."
“…”
When Lao Tao and Mu Chun talked, they were all night.
When Tao Mo woke up in the morning, he saw Hao Guozi walking over sneakily, "I heard something happening in the old Tao house yesterday."
"movement?"
"The earth-shaking movement." Hao Guozi said deeply.
Tao Mo said in surprise: "Fight?"
"Who knows?" Hao Guozi shook her head.
Tao Mo crossed the threshold and was about to run towards Lao Tao's room, but Hao Guozi grabbed it. "You..."
Hao Guozi said seriously: "Don't listen to what is wrong... Young Master."
“…”
The result of the compromise was that the two of them squatted sneakily at the door of Lao Tao's room.
It's very quiet inside.
Hao Guozi said: "Are you tired of fighting and sleeping?"
Tao Mo said: "There are so many rooms in the county government, why should I squeeze in one place?"
Hao Guozi said, "Maybe they want to squeeze."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Hao Guozi and Tao Mo looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Could it be that Lao Tao and Mu Chun have...a relationship?
Tao Mo suddenly felt extremely envious.
The conversation outside the room was pleasant, but the atmosphere inside the room was not as harmonious as they thought.
Mu Chun looked at Lao Tao with a smile and said, "Elder Lu decided to stay here and not go out?"
Old Tao turned his head angrily, "How do you ask me to go out like this?" An old face was covered with purple bruises.
"It's better than your fists and feet that you greeted me specifically." Mu Chun covered her stomach and grinned with a smile.
"At least you can't see it on the surface. How can I explain to the young master if you ask me to do this!" Lao Tao kept looking in the mirror.
Mu Chun said: "I didn't expect Elder Lu was really loyal to him."
Lao Tao paused, "I was chased and killed, but Mr. Tao saved me. Is there any mistake?"
"I didn't say that there was something wrong, but I didn't expect that Elder Lu would be willing to surrender to others on the day."
Lao Tao Jingmo said for a long time: "I was wrong at the beginning."
Mu Chun looked at him.
"Mingzun is right." In just five words, he put all his actions in half his life into scattered water.
Mu Chun was slightly moved. He knew that it was easy to kill a person like Lao Tao, but it was difficult to admit defeat.
"At least, I think I can't do better than him. However," Lao Tao changed his tone, "I would not agree with all the things he had with Xueyihou."
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I think the matter between Xueyi Hou and Mingzun does not require your approval."
Lao Tao sighed, "I didn't expect that the old one is like this, and the young one is like this."
Mu Chun said: "I believe Elder Lu knows very well when I come today."
Lao Tao said: "I can't go with you for the time being."
"Oh." Mu Chun was not surprised by this answer.
"The young master still needs me." He paused, "at least I have to wait until I am sure that the young master is full of wings and no longer needs me to follow him."
Mu Chun smiled, "Elder Lu. How could you think...you still have room for bargaining today?"
Lao Tao laughed instead of anger, "Even though I lost all the game back then, I still left a lot of chess pieces on the board. I was anxious and jumped over the wall, let alone people?"
Mu Chun said, "I have heard of Tao Mansion. Revenge is just a matter of raising hands." Mu Chun said, "As long as Elder Lu is willing to agree to return to the Demon Sect, I can still make decisions on this small matter."
Lao Tao said: "If you want to take revenge, I can do it alone."
Mu Chun said: "Do you want Tao Mo to avenge himself?"
Lao Tao shook his head and said, "This world is the prey of the weak. Whether to take revenge or not, the young master should make the decision. The only thing I want to do is to help him become a meat-eating person, not a meat-eating person!"
Mu Chun said: "Rabbits do not eat meat."
Lao Tao said: "He doesn't need to eat meat, he just needs a lion's heart."
Lionheart rabbit?
Mu Chun thought about Tao Mo's appearance and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Lao Tao said: "This is my only wish. As long as the wish is fulfilled, I will kill and cut it. I will listen to the emperor."
Mu Chun said: "Do you think Mingzun will kill you?"
"As long as the wish is fulfilled, yes and no longer matter."
