Nan Mo pulled Chu Mu behind him and said, "How can we investigate the case if we don't let him go?"
"My Lord, this is His Majesty's order, and I have no right to change it. I hope Your Majesty will not embarrass me."
The man had a dignified face and a straight back, looking like an upright general.
{Mumu, come eat some melons! This guy's name is Lin Jingzhi, and he's the general commander of the Xiadu garrison. He seems pretty upright, right? Hehe.}
Lao Ba's tone was so mean, Chu Mu knew that what was going to happen next was going to be very exciting.
{If this guy were to live in modern times, he would be a typical Phoenix man, who would enjoy living off his wife.
He was involved with several wives of officials at the same time, defrauding them of silver, jewelry, and even dowries... Oh, he was still a bootlicker! He used all the money he cheated to lick the same girl.
Chu Mu was intrigued by what he heard: [How can this be called a Phoenix Man? He's clearly a duck.]
Nan Mo looked the commander up and down in confusion—Phoenix? Duck?
{Hey, there's something interesting to watch.}
Lao Ba was finally able to check the plane plot again after a long time. He was inevitably excited and told Chu Mu a lot of things in a row.
[Oh, that's awesome.]
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows and gently pushed Nan Mo aside. "Commander Lin, the sun is shining brightly today. Why don't you go to Nansi Bridge to invite the beautiful lady? Instead, the young lady feels lonely and has asked a guard to accompany her to the garden."
The commander surnamed Lin's expression changed: "You - what nonsense are you talking about?"
"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not." Chu Mu acted like a master.
"As Your Majesty said, he's always spreading lies to confuse the people." Commander Lin felt a little uneasy, but he pretended to be calm. "If you really know, why not tell me the guard's name?"
Chu Mu shook his head but smiled without saying anything.
Commander Lin snorted coldly, "Can't you tell me? No matter what you say today, I won't let you leave the palace."
His gaze then shifted to Nan Mo: "Even if it's the Duke, it's not allowed."
"Really?" Chu Mu walked up to the expressionless Old Seven and pulled out the knife from his waist, "Lend it to me."
In the plot explanation given by Lao Ba, unimportant characters do not deserve to have names. Chu Mu does not even know the name of the woman that Commander Lin likes, let alone the young guard who is having a secret meeting with her.
However, he could see the picture, so he could accurately say information such as Nansi Bridge and Youyuan.
"Okay..." The paralyzed Old Seven moved his lips, "I can give it to you."
Nan Mo glanced at the other person lightly and thought to himself, this guy Xu Zhi is really unpopular, even his subordinates want to poach him.
Commander Lin thought Chu Mu was going to confront him forcefully, so he was taking a defensive stance.
Who knew that the other party would actually perform a beautiful sword flower in front of him——
"A beautiful woman has good taste. She doesn't like to appreciate flowers, but she likes to appreciate swords."
Although Chu Mu only displayed a few short moves, Commander Lin's pupils immediately trembled: "You——"
This sword move was learned from his junior brother who was sent to serve as a guard for Little Butterfly. Because the move was unique, it was impossible for him to make a mistake.
"Commander Lin, if you rush to Nansi Bridge now, you should be able to enjoy a sword dance with us, right?"
Commander Lin silently tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
Chu Mu was not in a hurry and looked at him indifferently.
"Alright." Commander Lin put away his sword. "It only takes half an hour to get to Nansi Bridge. I don't think you can leave the city in such a short time. I'll be back soon."
After saying this, he ran down the stairs and rode away.
As for the group of soldiers he left behind, no one dared to challenge Xu Zhi and they all gave way obediently.
"Amazing!" The left guard exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of a divine young master, he can even see others having an affair."
Chu Mu, who was getting on the carriage, stumbled and almost fell off.
"So you'd better not do anything wrong," Chu Mu pointed at his eyes and said to the left guard, "I'm watching."
The left guard stood in awe and nodded heavily.
In the carriage, Nan Mo and Chu Mu squeezed into the not-so-spacious compartment, their thighs touching each other and their shoulders against their arms.
"You are a dignified Duke, could you please not be so stingy?" Chu Mu moved, "Change to a bigger car."
Nan Mo remained calm and said, "I didn't ask for this car. The driver pulled out this one, so it's hard for me to refuse it. After all, I'm not familiar with the Duke's Mansion."
Chu Mu nodded, showing his understanding: "That's true, you're having a harder time."
Nan Mo sneaked closer to Chu Mu and said, "Mu Mu, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. I've been so worried."
"You're under too much pressure," Chu Mu said softly, "It's okay. I'm here. Even if you're caught, I can still fix it."
Nan Mo seemed to grab Chu Mu's hand casually: "Yes, you are a little fairy, a little fairy respected by everyone in Xiadu."
Chu Mu looked at him: "You—haven't you ever doubted me?"
"You are a god from heaven, what is there to doubt?" Nan Mo took the opportunity to touch Chu Mu's hands twice, so smooth and tender!
Chu Mu found it funny: "You are even dumber than him. He is just pretending. What about you?"
Nan paused: "Him? Who?"
"A cabbage that loves to pretend to be garlic."
Chu Mu was clearly thinking of Xiao Bing, but Jie Ye's silly smile appeared in his mind at an inopportune moment.
"I wonder what's wrong with that big idiot," Chu Mu murmured, "Yu Taisui should be able to cure his illness, right?"
Nan Mo was confused and was about to ask when the carriage stopped.
Lao Qi opened the curtain of the sedan chair and saw the two people holding hands at a glance. His expression seemed to stretch even longer: "We're here."
Chu Mu stood up first, broke free from Nan Mo without hesitation, and jumped off the carriage nimbly.
Nan Mo looked at his empty palm and grabbed a handful of air that seemed to still have Chu Mu's breath.
…
The name Qinjianlou sounds like a tavern, but it is actually a place for drinking tea and listening to music.
When Chu Mu entered, the girl on the stage was singing a song.
"Sir, would you like to sit in the lobby or in the elegant seats upstairs?" the waiter came up and asked with a cloth draped over his shoulder.
Chu Mu straightened the mask on his face: "Let's go upstairs."
This time, Chu Mu only brought Nan Mo and the expressionless Lao Qi with him. The three of them followed the waiter's lead and came to the second floor of the restaurant.
“The view here is wide, and it’s great for drinking tea or listening to music.”
The waiter poured tea for the guests and asked, "Why are you wearing masks? It's so inconvenient to drink tea like this."
Nan Mo tapped the table lightly: "Whether we wear masks or not is none of your business."
"Uh...you are right, sir." The waiter bowed and nodded, put down the teapot and snacks, and walked out.
Nan Mo looked around and said, "This room doesn't even have a window. Once the door is closed, won't it be like a turtle in a jar?"
Chu Mu lifted his clothes and sat down, picked up the teacup and smelled it: "Hmm, the tea is quite fragrant."
He broke off another small piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. "The pea yellow is not bad either—it's good no matter how you look at it. A teahouse, but why is the uncle singing at the bottom dressed as a woman?"
cymbals.
All instruments fell silent at the same time.
