"Alright, if you can stop him, I will reward you with a Ferghana horse!"
"ah!"
"Bang!"
Mu Yangzhi suddenly stood up, his head hitting the carriage, but ignoring the pain, he covered his head, his eyes sparkling: "Father, are you telling the truth?"
The Emperor looked at Mu Yangzhi with amusement, raising an eyebrow and saying, "How could my words be false? My word is as good as gold!"
Mu Yangzhi burst into laughter, as if he had already obtained the Ferghana horse.
"However, let me make this clear from the start: if you are bullied by that brat Nan Xiao, don't come crying to me!"
The Emperor joked.
Mu Yangzhi puffed out his chest and said seriously, "How could I? How could I, Mu Yangzhi, cry! Father, just watch! I'm sure I can stop him! I'll make him beg for mercy!"
Seeing the Emperor and Mu Yangzhi's actions, Mu Yangrun felt extremely uncomfortable. His eyes darted around, and he quickly flattered them, saying, "Father, this benefit shouldn't be given to Second Brother alone! I can have it too!"
"What can you do?" Before the Emperor could speak, Mu Yangzhi turned around and retorted, "Nan Xiao and I are brothers, and Tuan Tuan and I are siblings. We've been through thick and thin together. I know my limits when I joke with them, and it's harmless. If you dare to stop them, watch out for my fists!"
Mu Yangzhi waved his fist and glared angrily at Mu Yangrun.
A sinister glint flashed across Mu Yangrun's eyes, then he looked at the Emperor with a pitiful expression; "Father, look at Second Brother, what kind of words are you saying..."
"Your second brother is right," the Emperor said calmly, his smile fading. "Don't interfere in their affairs."
Mu Yangrun felt extremely uncomfortable, but still forced a smile and said, "How could that be? Of course I also hope that Nanxiao can be happy. I definitely won't interfere."
The emperor did not respond to him, but simply drank the tea that Eunuch Cai handed him.
Mu Yangzhi rolled his eyes, glared at Mu Yangrun, and then simply went to sleep.
On the other side, after Ning Chengzhu returned to the carriage, he looked at Ning Nanxiao with shining eyes: "Your mother didn't come, what a loss!"
Ning Nanxiao's lips twitched, his face full of black lines.
"Nanxiao, figure out a way to bring Tuantuan to our family." Ning Chengzhu leaned against the carriage and let out a sigh of relief. "This girl is just too wonderful. After you get married and have a few children, your mother and I will help you take care of them. Oh, by the way, doesn't Tuantuan like gold? We have quite a bit at home. When we get back to the capital, you can send it directly to Tuantuan..."
“If Tuantuan doesn’t like you…” Ning Chengzhu pondered for a moment, “then I’ll just have to do what your mother said and beg and plead to be adopted as her goddaughter, sigh…”
Ning Chengzhu's face was full of disappointment as he said this: "You have a handsome face, but you can't even find a wife. You're not even as good as your father!"
"Father!" Ning Nanxiao couldn't listen anymore and sighed as he looked at Ning Chengzhu, saying, "You have to give me some time."
Ning Chengzhu glanced sideways at Ning Nanxiao; "Time? Haven't I given you enough time? Think about how old you two have been since you met, and how old are you now? Tsk tsk tsk, useless!"
Ning Nanxiao chose to keep quiet; there was no reasoning with Ning Chengzhu.
However, Tuantuan might not actually have those feelings for him...
Thinking of this, Ning Nanxiao's eyes flickered; he had to come up with a solution...
Bai Tuantuan, laughing and joking in the carriage, had no idea that someone was eyeing her.
The carriage traveled along the official road and arrived in Dazhou ten days later.
The group got off the carriage. Some of them took their luggage to the inn, while Bai Han, Chen Luo, Ning Chengzhu, Bai Tuantuan, and Ning Nanxiao stayed by the Emperor's side.
Besides these, there were Eunuch Cai, Mu Yangzhi, and Mu Yangrun.
The group slowly walked forward, looking at the things displayed on the stalls on both sides with great interest!
"I bought it!"
"I'll buy this one too!"
"I want this one too!"
"I'll give you the money! Brother Chen, please put it down!"
"I'm here, I'm here to buy something for my granddaughter, why are you getting in the way?"
"That's my granddaughter! Can't I buy her?"
The Emperor watched as Bai Han and Chen Luo argued over the payment.
"If all else fails, how about we give each person one time?"
The Emperor spoke tentatively.
Bai Han glared and bristled, "It's all your fault! Why did you let him come along? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?!"
emperor:???
The emperor was both amused and exasperated; "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Bai Han gave a haughty "humph" and said to Chen Luo, "Here you go."
Chen Luo happily took out the silver, and just as he was about to pay, he heard the merchant say, "Gentlemen, someone has already paid for this."
As he spoke, he pointed to Ning Chengzhu and Ning Nanxiao, who were following Bai Tuantuan, and said helplessly, "It's them."
Bai Han and Chen Luo exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes, and quickly rushed over!
At that speed, you couldn't tell that the two were old people at all; you'd think they were robust middle-aged men!
Hearing the noisy commotion ahead, the Emperor couldn't help but beam with joy; "Look at these people, they're sure to have a good time on their journey!"
Eunuch Cai chuckled and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty, look, there are quite a few people gathered up ahead. What happened?"
The emperor naturally became interested and led his men in that direction.
Bai Tuantuan quickly followed, and after finally squeezing in, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as she looked at the juggling crowd.
"Uncle, look! It's amazing!" Bai Tuantuan tugged at the Emperor's sleeve, her face full of joy. "Uncle, look at that fire-breathing thing!"
The Emperor's lips twitched. "You can breathe fire too, can't you? You can do even more!"
Having witnessed their battle of wits with the master, the Emperor declared that this was child's play and he truly looked down on it!
Clearly, Eunuch Cai was the same.
However, Mu Yangrun and Mu Yangzhi found it quite interesting.
A sly glint flashed in Bai Tuantuan's eyes. Suddenly, she stepped forward, looked at the two middle-aged men in front of her, and said with a smile, "Let me try too?"
Looking at Bai Tuantuan's harmless appearance, the middle-aged man chuckled, "Miss, this isn't something just anyone can do... but if you want to try, then give it a shot..."
After all, failure only highlights their abilities.
Bai Tuantuan took the torch, glanced at the surrounding crowd, lowered her eyes, and smiled softly: "It's really a good thing..."
However, the next second, Bai Tuantuan suddenly gripped the torch tightly, and with a "snap," a dagger appeared directly from behind!
"Oh dear, where's the dagger? You're not planning to kill me, are you?!"
The two middle-aged men were shocked, clearly not expecting that Bai Tuantuan would actually turn on their switch!
"Father!" Mu Yangrun quickly stood in front of the Emperor, looking warily at the people around him.
While eating snacks, Mu Yangzhi said, "Third brother, what's your name? Don't worry, with Tuantuan and Nanxiao here, nothing will happen."
Looking at Mu Yangrun, who wasn't even trying, Mu Yangrun cursed inwardly: Idiot!
