Chapter 124 Peer into Beijing
Ling Muyun naturally didn't know Mao Shiba's complaints, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. In his eyes, Mao Shiba was just a passerby, so why should he pay attention to the thoughts of a passerby?
After leaving the shop, the four of them walked north and arrived in a county town when it was about to be evening. Everyone found an inn to stay. Ling Muyun asked Bai Hansong, "Brother Bai, are you proficient in horse racing?"
"I can't say that I'm proficient, I just understand a little bit. I don't know what Brother Ling means?"
"You have seen my mount, Brother Bai, too. It's really useless, so I'm going to buy another one in the town. But I don't know anything about horse racing, so I want to ask if Brother Bai has any understanding of this so as not to be deceived by the anti-commodity again!" Ling Muyun said with a depressed look on his face.
"So that's it, no wonder. I'm still wondering about Brother Ling's well-dressed talent, and it doesn't look like a person who is short of money. How could he ride such a slow horse? It turned out to be bullied by the Imperial Merchant!" Bai Hansong laughed and said, "But I want to thank the Imperial Merchant, otherwise how could he get to know a young Junyan like Brother Ling?"
The little princess Mu Jianping couldn't help laughing "Puchi'er" after hearing this, because she was bullied as soon as she met Ling Muyun. Therefore, Ling Muyun had the image similar to "big bad guy" in her heart. But now when she heard that this big bad guy was cheated, Mu Jianping was surprised and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ling Muyun spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit that this is a bit embarrassing, but it is worth it to make a smile on her face."
When Mu Jianping heard Ling Muyun say this, he immediately lowered his head shyly again.
Bai Hansong looked at Ling Muyun with a smile and joked about Mu Jianping. He was also a man who had been in the world for a long time. He was clear-headed and had long seen that Ling Muyun was mostly interested in his little princess. Judging from his little princess' performance, he was afraid that he did not have any feelings for Ling Muyun, but he did not mean to stop him, and he was even happy to see him accomplished.
Bai Hansong knew that although they still called themselves the Prince Mu Mansion in Yunnan to the outside world, most of the friends in the world respected them very much, but the Prince Mu Mansion was not the original Prince Mu Mansion after all. Although they themselves did not want to admit it, in fact, the Mu family had actually become a family of the world and had no return to the original princes and nobles. If it were before the Ming Dynasty, people like Ling Muyun would not have the ability to get close to Prince Mu Mansion even if they had high martial arts skills. But now the Prince Mu Mansion has become the world. If they could attract a strong support like Ling Muyun, they would have been reluctant to seek it. Therefore, he would ignore the slightest ambiguity between Ling Muyun and Mu Jianping.
Seeing that Mu Jianping was so shy that he couldn't speak, Ling Muyun stopped teasing her and asked Bai Hansong: "Since Brother Bai knows the art of horse racing, I will ask Brother Bai to accompany me for a while, so as not to be slaughtered by someone again."
"Okay, then I'll go with Brother Ling. Little Princess, are you going too?"
Mu Jianping lightly tapped his head, but didn't say anything.
At that moment, only the coachman was left to guard the inn. Ling Muyun, Bai Hansong and Mu Jianping went out of the inn together. Ling Muyun also led his red horse with a red horse. It was useless to keep such a slow horse, so Ling Muyun wanted to sell it by the way, so he didn't want to be disgusted.
The county they visited was not big, so the three of them easily found a horse selling place on the street after inquiring with passers-by. With Bai Hansong's help, Ling Muyun spent another 100 taels of silver to buy a yellow horse. As for the red horse, he dealt with it to the horse seller at a bargain price of ten taels of silver. Although he lost 90 taels of silver, Ling Muyun still felt much more happy to be able to deal with the annoying animal.
After buying the horse, the three of them did not go back to the inn immediately, but decided to go shopping at Ling Muyun's suggestion. In fact, Ling Muyun himself was not very interested in shopping. The main reason was that he saw that Mu Jianping seemed interested and was shy and unwilling to say it, so he made this proposal.
Sure enough, when she heard that she was going shopping, Mu Jianping suddenly became a little excited. She grew up in Yunnan since she was young and had never traveled far away. When she first arrived in Jiangnan, she naturally felt fresh about everything. She was just because her surname was shy and embarrassed to say it out. Seeing Ling Muyun's suggestion, she naturally agreed with both hands.
After the three of them were walking around for a while, Bai Hansong found an excuse to lead Ling Muyun back to the inn first. Since they were interested in matching the two, Bai Hansong would naturally not stay as a light bulb at this time. He was not worried about Mu Jianping's safety. He did not think that there could be a person Ling Muyun could not deal with in such a small county.
When Mu Jianping heard that Bai Hansong was going back to the inn first, she also wanted to go back to the inn, because when she thought of staying alone with Ling Muyun, a "big villain", she was shy and afraid. But the temptation of continuing to go shopping made her reluctant to go back like this. After hesitation, Bai Hansong left. Seeing this, Mu Jianping had to follow Ling Muyun to play with him with trepidation.
Ling Muyun saw Mu Jianping's nervousness and nervousness, so he did not make any stimulating moves to her. He just took her around the street market with a smile on his face. Whenever Mu Jianping showed interest in anything, he would pay for it. He would accompany him wherever Mu Jianping wanted to go, throwing sweet words out as if he didn't have money, perfectly explaining what the five good men in the new century with practical actions.
Where did Mu Jianping experience this? In addition, he was attracted by the instinct of the demon species. Under Ling Muyun's surging emotional offensive, he quickly became disastrous. As a result, when the two of them finished shopping and returned to the inn, they were already talking and laughing. Mu Jianping's slender jade hand was also held in his hand by Ling Muyun without realizing it. Until she saw Bai Hansong's strange gaze, she realized that she hurriedly broke away from Ling Muyun's hand and ran back to the room to see people.
In comparison, Ling Muyun seemed much more generous, and he didn't care about Bai Hansong's smile-like expression, as if nothing was happening. After all, it was also a young man in the new era who was influenced by the information explosion era. After being strengthened by the demon seed, he still had no psychological tolerance? Besides, he had already seen Bai Hansong's thoughts, and it was clearly intentional to match. Since this is the case, what else is he embarrassed about?
All night was speechless. Early the next morning, the four of them got up and left. Because of the incident yesterday, the little princess Mu Jianping was still shy and got into the car as if they were running away. After he didn't say a word. Ling Muyun talked to her just to deal with "um" and "ah". The relationship between the two seemed to be back to their original appearance. However, Ling Muyun could feel that this was actually just Mu Jianping's excessive reaction, which seemed to make people see that the feelings between her and Ling Muyun were a terrifying thing, which made Ling Muyun sigh. Speaking of which, the little princess was a little shy!
On the way, Ling Muyun asked Bai Hansong about their purpose of entering Beijing. Bai Hansong saw that Ling Muyun had become a group with his little princess, and he might be his own family in the future, so he didn't hide it, so he told him as it was true.
It turned out that the Prince Mu Mansion had received news this time that King Wu Sangui of Pingxi was going to send his prince Wu Yingxiong to Beijing to meet the emperor. Their Prince Mu Mansion and Wu Sangui's Pingxi Palace were mortal enemies. There were many people in Pingxi Palace in Yunnan, and they could not fight. So they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Wu Yingxiong's visit to Beijing to see him and leave the sphere of influence of the Prince Pingxi Palace to assassinate him. It would also exclaim that he was angry and at the same time he was hit hard by the old thief Wu Sangui.
Here I want to talk about the origin of the Mu Palace. Mu Ying, the founding lord of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was originally the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang made great contributions to the rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to restore his original Mu surname and grant him the title of Xiping Marquis. Because of his contribution to pacifying Yunnan, he stayed behind and developed the southwestern border and expanded the border for thousands of miles for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after his death, he was posthumously named King of Qianning. His descendants inherited the title of Duke of Qian and guarded Yunnan for generations.
When the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, Zhu Youlang, the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, fled to Yunnan. At that time, the Duke of Qian State, Mu Tianbo, was loyal to him and fought with Wu Sangui who came to chase him. After losing, he also protected Emperor Yongli to Myanmar with the four generals of Liu, Bai and Su, and later died of protecting the master. The four generals of Liu, Bai and Su under his command were also killed in battle. Only some young children escaped from each family.
Therefore, the Mu Mansion and the Pingxi King Wu Sangui are very close to the sea. They have been fighting fiercely with the Pingxi King for many years, but they are not as powerful as the other side, and they always suffer losses. When they learned that Wu Yingxiong was going to Beijing to meet, they went out to leave Wu Yingxiong's surname outside and would not give him the chance to return to Yunnan.
Because he was afraid that too many people would attract the attention of the government, the Mu Mansion decided to go in batches and routes. For the sake of security, Bai Hansong escorted the young and weak princess Mu Jianping to leave Yunnan first and rushed to the capital to wait. The rest of the people stayed in Yunnan for a while and followed Wu Yingxiong. This allowed Ling Muyun to meet Mu Jianping and Bai Hansong by chance.
The four of them stayed overnight in the morning and walked for more than a month. On this occasion, they finally arrived at Yanjing City. The four of them entered the city from the south gate. According to the unique marks of the Prince Mu Mansion, they found Yangliu Hutong in the west of the city and moved into a large-scale mansion. This was the one sent by the Prince Mu Mansion to buy it in the capital in advance, as the stronghold of the Prince Mu Mansion after the time of the Prince Mu Mansion. At the invitation of Bai Hansong and Mu Jianping, Ling Muyun also lived in this stronghold of the Prince Mu Mansion in Yanjing.
