Mu Li had a good impression of Ye An and grinned, "By the way, you seem quite smart. What's your name?"
Ye An was secretly delighted. If Mu Ci entered the palace and became his boyfriend, then wouldn’t Mu Li be his younger brother?
Ye An no longer cared about his younger brother's impoliteness. He glanced at his older brother who was farther away from him, and his voice seemed to roll happily in a pile of candy: "My name is Ye...Xiao An."
Fortunately, he still had a bit of rationality left and knew that directly giving out his name would be equivalent to revealing his secrets. Besides, Xiao An was his nickname in his previous life, so he was not lying. Brother Mu hasn't entered the palace yet, so don't scare him.
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and Mu Li was stunned. He asked, "Are you from the royal family?"
Ye An: “…”
Ye An just wondered if he was stupid. Since Ye was the royal surname, nine out of ten people with the surname Ye would be royal family members. Changing his name to Ye Xiaoan, isn't this just making things more obvious?
Ye An quickly made amends: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's the night of the night, Ye Xiaoan!"
Mu Ci's expression did not change. Mu Li let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, touched his chest, and looked a little unnatural.
"You scared me..." Mu Li smiled reluctantly.
Ye An half-jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Do you have a grudge against the royal family?"
Mu Li shook his head, not wanting to talk about his previous gaffe. Instead, he patted Ye An's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "We have been through hardships together. From now on, we are friends. You call me A Li, and I will call you Xiao An."
Ye Anxi said happily: "Okay. How about this, you and your brother call me Xiao An, I'll call you A Li, and call him Brother Mu."
He had some favorable impression towards Mu Ci, and wanted to mention Mu Ci no matter what he said. In fact, he wanted to call him Ah Ci, but Mu Ci had a rather cold personality, so he never spoke to him formally. Ye An was afraid that calling him too intimately would cause dislike, so he called him "Big Brother Mu" as well.
Ye An put his paw on his chest and arched it unskillfully: "Thank you, Brother Mu, for saving my life."
Mu Ci finally responded to him and said softly, "It's just a small favor, don't mention it."
Ye An: “…”
Ye Xiaoan heard Brother Mu's voice again, and deeply understood the incredible admiration from his previous life. His ears were pregnant!
When I came to this world, I didn’t want to even mention the word pregnancy because I didn’t want to have a child. But my ears were pregnant, which was very different!
Ye An touched his burning ears with trembling hands. In fact, Mu Li's voice is not bad, with the youthful vigor, but when you listen to Mu Li speaking, he sounds very normal.
Maybe it’s because the savior is different.
"By the way, Mu Li, Brother Mu, why are you here?"
Ye An finally remembered to ask the people like Sugar Painting Man.
Mu Li rushed to say, "Recently, people have been missing in the imperial city, and the report has been made to the court. The official in charge of investigating the case is extremely worried. He is a good friend of my father, so my father asked my brother and I to come and help."
The Tingwei was the agency responsible for handling cases in the Wei Dynasty. At the request of his friend, Master Mu actually only called his eldest son Mu Ci, but Mu Li insisted on coming along.
Speaking of human traffickers, Mu Li was filled with righteous indignation: "These people are too cunning. One of them is responsible for watching and when he finds someone suitable to attack, he pretends that his eyesight is poor and asks the person to help him finish painting on the wall... The others are waiting nearby, and when they see this as a signal, they go forward and kidnap people."
Mu Li didn't know all these details at first, but he was a young and inexperienced person and came up with a plan to lure the enemy. He dressed brightly on purpose and walked back and forth several times on this road where people often disappeared. When he was found, he really thought they were asking for his help. Fortunately, Mu Ci followed him not far away and found out the hiding places of the other missing people.
Ye An was shocked and said, "They asked you to paint... that, fish eyes?"
Mu Li nodded: "Isn't it the same for you?"
"I--"
Ye An was depressed. It turned out that the graffiti on the wall was a conspiracy of the human traffickers. Mu Li was led to do it, but he himself did it accidentally due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Thinking back, when he bought the sugar painting, the trafficker asked him a lot of questions, probably to get information from him, but Ye An was dressed ordinary and made up stories, so he didn't catch the trafficker's eye, and he ended up being kidnapped...
Of course, when these people found out that he had silver bills and a jade whistle on him, they would probably be overjoyed.
It would be better if one could find out the truth by oneself. Ye An did not want Mu Li and Mu Ci to know about this at all, so he said sullenly, "I am naturally the same as you... By the way, is this place far from where we were kidnapped?"
Mu Li looked at Mu Ci, who was also covered with a black bag and could not see clearly.
Mu Ci said: "It's okay, about six miles."
Ye An thought, one mile is equal to 500 meters, which is indeed not too far, An Yi should be able to find it.
Ye An said: "Brother Mu, have you ever seen a Jade Whistle?"
The silver note probably had no special features and was divided up. It’s still easier to find jade whistle.
Mu Ci said: "I haven't seen it."
Mu Ci thought for a moment, then used the hilt of his sword as a support, casually lifted the face of a person on the ground, and twisted it hard.
The man's jaw was instantly dislocated and he screamed in pain.
Mu Ci asked indifferently: "Where is the Jade Whistle?"
The man shook his head wildly and tears streamed down his face. Mu Ci twisted his chin back again.
The human traffickers on the ground were horrified, and soon one of them burst into tears. Ye An looked and found that it was the sugar painting man.
"The jade whistle is here with me, please take it away quickly, please take it away quickly!!"
Mu Li smiled and gave his elder brother a thumbs up, then pulled Ye An to get the whistle. It turned out that the jade whistle was hung around his neck by the sugar painting man. Ye An took off the whistle and glared at the man with disgust.
"You haven't blown it before?"
It's disgusting to have something stained with other people's saliva.
The sugar painting man trembled and cried: "No. I, I still have your banknotes in my arms..."
Mu Li went to touch for Ye An and found several pieces, adding up to more than ten thousand taels.
"Xiao An, I can't believe you're so rich..."
Mu Li exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
Ye An scratched his head embarrassedly, how could he explain that he was dressed in plain clothes yet was so rich? !
Ye An suddenly had an idea: "Ali, Brother Mu, how about I treat you guys to a meal and we can talk while we eat?"
Mu Li was young and was a little hungry after working for a long time. He nodded and looked at his brother, who still looked calm and composed, so he nodded on behalf of his brother.
Just then, an official from the Supreme Court sent someone over, and Mu Ci and Mu Li handed over the human traffickers. Ye An took this opportunity to find the two bags of roasted chestnuts he had bought.
These human traffickers really don't leave anything behind.
Ye An was so excited that he wanted to share it with others: "A Li, Brother Mu, do you want to eat chestnuts?"
Mu Li looked incredulous: "Eat, eat, eat, why are you only thinking about eating?"
Ye An: “…”
While saying these insulting words, Mu Li snatched a whole bag of chestnuts from him: "But this stuff looks pretty good...Xiao An, you said you'd treat us to a meal, wouldn't you treat us to chestnuts?"
"No!" Ye An was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "If you dislike it, don't eat it!"
Mu Li smiled: "No, I didn't. I just thought it was interesting to see your face changing..."
Ye An didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He held another bag of chestnuts in his hands and turned to Mu Ci embarrassedly: "Mu, Brother Mu, do you want to eat roasted chestnuts?"
Mu Ci thought Mu Li and Ye Xiaoan were a bit silly, but the chestnut was right, so he took one silently.
Ye An felt happy. Brother Mu didn't reject me. He ate my chestnuts! ! !
Brother Mu also has a cold personality, but he is just quiet. He is much better than the stupid little prince who looks down on others!
Ye An said he wanted to treat everyone, but he knew nothing about the Imperial City Restaurant, so Mu Li volunteered to pick a place for him. Mu Ci originally came on horseback, so he couldn't take the two young men with him, so he had to hire a carriage. Ye An was happy to have someone take care of him, but he was afraid that An Yi wouldn't be able to find him.
While Mu Ci went to hire a car, Ye An used the excuse of convenience to get Mu Li away and blew the jade whistle several times.
An Yi showed up as expected, and Ye An was completely relieved.
An Yi knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I was careless and failed to catch up with you when you disappeared just now... Later I found out your whereabouts, and when I came here, you had been rescued by Master Mu."
Ye An waved his hand: "An Yi, this is not your fault."
Ye An was still quite reasonable. There were too many people around him at the time, and he couldn't foresee that something was going to happen. If Mu Ci hadn't come, it would probably have been An Yi who saved him.
From An Yi's tone, it seemed that he was quite familiar with Mu Ci. Ye An asked curiously, "An Yi, do you know Brother Mu too?"
An Yi said, "The eldest son of Grand Tutor Mu's family, who in the imperial city doesn't know him? During the reign of the previous emperor, there were civil and martial arts competitions, and Young Master Mu won first place in both. When it came time to present awards to the emperor, Young Master Mu asked to guard the border, and the previous emperor approved it, and he was transferred back this year."
As a cheap guy with no memory, Ye An naturally didn't know about Mu Ci's experience, but Ye Xiaoan couldn't help but think, did Brother Mu come back to enter the palace?
He touched his face and asked worriedly, "Will Brother Mu recognize me?"
An Yi said expressionlessly, "When he left the city, you were only eleven or twelve years old. He was not there when you ascended the throne, so you would not have been able to recognize him."
Even Mu Ci couldn't recognize him, so Mu Li probably wouldn't be able to recognize him either.
Ye An said: "That's good. I will invite Brother Mu and Mu Li to dinner later. An Yi, you... follow me. After I finish my meal, disguise yourself as a servant and pick me up."
After being found out that he was carrying a huge amount of silver bills, Ye An could no longer pretend to be an ordinary citizen. He decided to pretend to be the son of a wealthy family who sneaked out to play, hoping to talk more with the Mu brothers. However, the Queen Mother was still waiting for him to return to the palace, so he couldn't stay for too long...
Anyway, Brother Mu will enter the palace in the future, so Ye Xiaoan is not particularly regretful.
An Yi took the order and went to make preparations. Mu Ci had already hired a carriage. Ye An and Mu Li got on, and Mu Ci rode the horse alone, following behind the carriage.
They soon arrived at the restaurant that Mu Li had personally ordered. Ye An took out a silver note and asked the waiter to find him an empty room. He wiped his dirty face first. An Yi then found him a set of brocade clothes suitable for a rich man's family. Ye An put them on and looked at the pearls and agates on the sleeves and collar of the clothes. He thought that he really looked like the silly son of a landlord.
Ye An reappeared on the stage in a glamorous manner. Mu Li pointed at him and said stupidly: "You, you..."
Ye An was surprised. Could it be that Mu Li recognized him?
Mu Li held it in for a long time before saying, "Why do you look like this?"
"What?" Ye An stiffened his neck and retorted, "I'm as ugly as you. If you think I'm ugly, don't look at me."
“No, no…”
Mu Li's ears blushed slightly. What he meant was that Ye Xiaoan actually looked quite good after being cleaned up!
Ye An slapped him away: "Okay, A-li, stop talking nonsense... Brother Mu, what do you want to eat?"
Ye An put the silver bills in his arms on the table one by one, and said, "Brother Mu, please pay attention. The landlord's stupid son wants to treat you to a meal!"
