Grab a Handsome Guy as Strategist - C5
“Young Master Meng Wei!” Monk Meng suddenly appeared next to Ji Wei with a flattering smile. General Ji, if you continue to fight with them today, I’m afraid there won’t be any results. How about this, General Ji can come to my mansion and drink a few cups of wine. It won’t be too late to negotiate with them tomorrow! ”
Ji Wei had a hesitant expression on his face after hearing what rich Meng said.
Seeing this, rich Meng felt hopeful, so he quickly added, “General Ji, we have not known each other for one or two days. Even if you stay here with them for a long time, you will only lose the affection of the people towards you! Please reconsider, General Ji.
“Then do as Master Meng says!” After speaking, Ji Wei gave the order, then led his soldiers away and left.
Only when Ji Wei turned around did Monk Meng slowly walk over to Mu Yizi.
“Clan Head Mu, this time, you owe me a favor!”
Looking at rich Meng’s fat face, Mu Yizi’s heart was filled with anger.
This old fogey, after getting an opportunity to get close to Ji Wei, he even thought of selling himself at a cheap price to get another favor from her.
Even though he was thinking this in his heart, he was indeed relying on Meng Quan’s face to make Ji Wei withdraw his troops as quickly as possible. Mu Yizi was not the kind of person who did not know his place, so he cupped his hands towards Meng Zixiao.
“Then I will thank Master Meng first today. I will definitely pay my respects some other day.”
Seemingly having gotten the answer he wanted, Lord Meng smiled as he rubbed his chin. Satisfied, he turned around and boarded the horse carriage. He then quickly caught up to Ji Wei’s army.
“Boss, this old man’s scheme is really good. Do you want me to bring a few of his brothers to his residence tonight to boost his memory?” Mudskin stood by Mu Yizi’s side, looking at the back of Monk Meng’s carriage as it departed, and said with slight resentment. He had always disliked this fat and fat rich Meng, but every time their boss brought them down the mountain, he would not let them do anything.
Mu Yizi waved her hand and said disdainfully, “No need, don’t you know who that old fellow is? Since he wanted to ask for this favor, then let him take it! “Let’s see what tricks he can pull.”
At this moment, an extremely plain looking carriage stopped at the entrance of the Qingfeng Stronghold. When the farmers saw this, they raised their weapons and nervously looked at the carriage.
The man dressed as a servant calmly alighted from the carriage and stood at his original position while speaking to the brothers standing at the door: “Fellow brothers, my surname is Zhou and we are from Spirit Province. We are about to head to the capital to find our relatives. But after walking for a long time, he still hadn’t seen her. I wonder if it can let us stay here for a day? Tomorrow, we can continue on our journey. ”
Mu Yizi looked at the man surnamed Zhou with doubt. It was still early in the morning, even if he was looking for a place to stay, it shouldn’t be so early. What’s more, just now, Ji Wei and the others had definitely seen the battle from a long time ago. Even so, he still had to find them to stay the night. This was rather strange.
Before Mu Yizi could say anything, the person at the door had already lost their patience. What kind of lodging? Don’t you know what this place is? Get lost! ”
The man didn’t reply, as if he was waiting for Mu Yurou’s answer.
“Wait. Young master, it’s still early. Even if you want to sleep, there’s no need to be in such a hurry, right?” Mu Yizi said as she slowly walked towards the door.
“You might not know this, but our family’s master has an old illness and his body is not well. That’s why I’m in a hurry to find a place to stay. Please make an exception. ”
After listening to these words, Mu Yizi stroked her chin. The things that happened recently seemed to be getting more and more fun.
This was much more interesting than working and chatting with the people at the foot of the mountain.
“Come in! “Bastard, pack up two guest rooms and come out.”
Mubai looked at Mu Yizi, who was about to leave after giving her orders, and wanted to say something but hesitated. It was only when Mu Yizi’s figure disappeared around the corner that he had to admit that his boss had made the two strangers leave behind.
But this was a bandit’s nest! It wasn’t an inn, nor was it some kind of charity. Why did he have to take them in?
Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Luozi still called for a few people to bring the two of them in and lead the carriage to the stables. A few people were also sent to send the civilians back, and they were left at the Bai Family home to guard them, in case any underhanded actions by the officials involved them.
Shen Bai followed behind Mu Yizi, not saying a word. It was only when Mu Yizi turned around that she stopped.
“Why are you always following me?” It wasn’t that he didn’t know what Shen Bai was trying to do, but he was curious about what he was trying to do. However, he had already reached the door of her room and yet he still hadn’t left. This made Mu Yizi have no choice but to ask.
“That… Are there any other clothes? I can’t always wear this dress, can I? ” Shen Bai felt a little embarrassed, but it was really awkward for a grown man to be wandering around in the bridal gown.
Mu Yizi glanced at his bright red wedding suit. Even though it was only a woman’s dress, it didn’t feel out of place on his body. It had to be said, although rich Meng was a bit wicked. However, his eyesight was quite good, he actually got someone to make a suit that would fit Shen Bai.
“I guess I’ll just wear it like this. It looks pretty good.” After saying that, Mu Yizi entered the room and closed the door.
It was unknown if it was because of her revenge for Shen Bai’s hidden martial arts in the morning or because of some mischievous thought, but Mu Yizi did not agree, but she secretly made a note in her heart.
What greeted Shen Bai was the door to Mu Yizi’s room, which was closed. He lowered his head to look at his bright red wedding robe helplessly.
He didn’t expect that this little girl would hold a grudge. What did his master want him to find this tiger girl from the family of generals for?
After Shen Bai left, Mu Youzi listened attentively to the footsteps outside the door as they walked further and further away. Only when she was sure that Shen Bai had left did Mu Yutian open the door slightly to check if she had guessed correctly.
Seeing that there was no one at his door, Mu Yizi finally opened it completely. She lazily stretched her waist and felt the money pouch on her waist. While pondering about what kind of clothes she should buy for Shen Bai, she walked towards the exit.
By the time Mu Yizi returned, the sun was about to set. The evening light softly sprinkled down, covering everything in its sight with a layer of gold.
As soon as he entered the village, Mu Yizi saw the woman and a man named Zhou standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
“Why are you two here? Not in the room? Didn’t you say that you’re not feeling well? ” Mu Yizi walked in leisurely with a bundle in her hands, as if she was very familiar with them.
As if she had been frightened by the mature Mu Youzi, the woman was slightly startled. She then replied with a smile, “I feel better now, so I came out to look at the sky. I wonder what Miss Mu is doing? ”
Although Mu Youzi didn’t like people calling her a lady, the woman in front of her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Therefore, she didn’t feel unhappy and only responded with a smile.
“Well, I went out and bought something new for the kids down the hill. Plus, someone wanted to change his clothes, so he went for a stroll down the mountain. We’ll be eating soon. You all should hurry back to your rooms after taking a look! ”
After she finished speaking, Mu Yizi wanted to return to her room to put the things away, then figure out a suitable reason to give the clothes to Shen Bai. She did not find it strange that the woman knew that her surname was Mu. Just as he raised his foot, he was stopped.
“Miss Mu!”
Mu Yizi turned around to look at the woman, puzzled. She didn’t know what else she wanted, so she gestured for her to continue.
“Miss Mu, you seem to be very friendly. I wonder if we’ve met somewhere before?” The woman slowly walked in, looking at Mu Yizi with eyes that seemed to be mixed with complicated emotions.
This confused Mu Youzi. She had grown up with her father, all the way until she was nine years old. Her father had brought her to a place far away from the capital, where she had become a bandit in the Qingfeng Stronghold. She had been living in the village ever since, so how could she know this woman?
Perhaps she had seen someone who looked very similar to her somewhere?
“You might have remembered wrongly. I grew up in Fresh Breeze Stronghold and have never gone out before. The furthest I’ve been is the Agarwood City. ” Smiling at the woman, Mu Youzi took the things and slowly left.
Watching her leaving, the woman put away her smile and sighed without a trace. Maybe he was wrong? Otherwise, why would he see that person’s shadow on this girl that he had never seen before?
“Mistress, did you remember that person again?” The man surnamed Zhou stood respectfully behind the woman. He knew that his master would never forget that person, let alone having a child for that woman. But who told him to be so ignorant as to take his child and disappear without a sound? The culprit had spent all these years feeling guilty and remorseful.
The woman waved her hand, “It’s fine. In a while, send someone to find Ji Wei and the Chief Patrol Officer of Agarwood City. Tell them not to disturb the Qingfeng Stronghold for the next few days. “Oh right, how is the investigation going?”
“Master, he hasn’t returned yet, but he should be here soon.” [If you want to take that young master, why do you need to go through so much trouble? “This servant can now arrange for him to be sent to the capital …”
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman. It seems like you have followed me for a long time, and you actually have the audacity to guess my thoughts? ”
The faint threat in his tone made the man quickly kneel to the ground, lowering his head, repeatedly saying that he didn’t dare.
The woman ignored him and turned to leave, leaving the man kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
After the woman left, the man stood up. As servants, their first lesson was to guess their master’s thoughts. Before their master even opened his mouth, they had already prepared something for him. It was his fault this time. His master had always been afraid of others guessing his thoughts, so why did he still say those words on his own?
He wondered what his master would do to him when he returned. The man walked towards the guest room with a sad face.
