Chapter 814

--segmentation--

Looking at the big barbarian who had sneakily dragged her out with a smirk on his face, Shu Yan was quite disapproving.

If it were someone else, they would have been uncomfortable if they were stared at with such contempt by Shu Yan. But Mu Tong's face had been toughened by a hammer, and for the sake of the overall situation, he could endure everything.

"Tell me the truth, boy. Did you fall in love with the Poison Lady at first sight?"

Shu Yan didn't understand who the poisonous lady was referring to, but she thought that there were no other women in the team except Hong Ye, so she said coldly: "What poisonous lady? Watch your mouth. You should respect and love women, understand? You are a vulgar and uneducated big monkey."

Mu Tong's eyebrows flew up: "Since you are young and ignorant, I won't argue with you, a pretty boy. When I knew the Poison Lady, you were still eating farts."

Shu Yan didn't respond at all: "You want to be white, but you have to see if you have the capital. Look in the mirror, you ugly freak."

This kid really didn't give any face at all, and Mu Tong's eyebrows were raised in anger: "Hey, you just open your mouth. I repeat, I am her sworn brother, and she listens to me the most. If you know what's good for you..."

"Brother..." Shu Yan suddenly remembered something, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You...are you just a simple brother? There is no other relationship?...You are not her lover..." He suddenly shut up, his eyes were disgusted, as if he would dirty his mouth if he continued, "I really worry too much, how could she be interested in a person like you. If you have something to say, hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you."

Mu Tong's forehead was bulging with veins after hearing these waves of open attacks. He was about to stand up and fight with this pretty boy to make him know who was the host and who was the guest. Bai Shu hurriedly comforted him: "The overall situation is more important, the overall situation is more important."

Mu Tong forced herself to return to her seat and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

Shu Yan snorted: "Of course I know. I've asked, she is the empress of the Yueyin Dynasty. Why?"

Mu Tong glared and said, "I thought you knew nothing. You knew it and yet you dared to come up to me again and again? Who do you think you are?"

Shu Yan raised his head and said, "So what? I'm not after her power. I just..." His tone turned low, and he seemed to be secretly happy. "I just like the look in her eyes. I like the way she looks at me, as if she has lost the world without me. I want her to look at me like this forever."

Mu Tong couldn't stand his lingering confession from time to time, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Wake up, I have a husband..."

Bai Shu quickly covered Mu Tong's mouth and continued, "We invited you here to discuss something." Then he turned around and reminded Mu Tong, "Don't forget our purpose."

Mu Tong held his forehead and said, "I really... I couldn't help it when I saw this guy..." He pinched his face hard, sobered up for a moment, and then said, "It's like this, although I don't like you very much, but considering that you saved the emperor last night and you are quite smart, we discussed it and decided to hire you as her bodyguard." "Bodyguard?" Shu Yan was startled, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You want to use me as a substitute, right?"

Bai Shu was honest, and when his feelings were touched, he didn't know how to respond, but Mu Tong said, "Oh, you're right, that's right. Anyway, you like her too, so I'll give you a chance. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

Shu Yan curled her lips in disdain: "Can you be so good?" He thought of something, and his face darkened again, "But she is married. Even if her husband is dead, doesn't she have another..."

Mu Tong glared at him, "She is the empress, the supreme ruler, so what's so strange about having three wives and four concubines? You are just a commoner with unknown origins, your status is very different. You should accept the grace, understand?"

Shu Yan glared back at him and said, "So what if she's an empress? Isn't she also a human being? An empress should love everyone she meets and not take other people's love seriously? Besides, since her status is so noble and you are in an enemy country, you must be very careful in selecting people around you. If you recruit a scout from the enemy country, wouldn't it harm her? Knowing that I came from an unknown background, you still dare to recruit me. It's really irresponsible!"

Mu Tong spread his hands and said, "We didn't do this on purpose. We were short of manpower and desperate to find a cure. But since you don't want to, we won't force you. We are very busy, so we won't keep you here. The door is over there, you can go by yourself."

Having said that, Mu Tong dragged Bai Shu towards the back hall, leaving the silent Shu Yan alone in the front hall.

Bai Shu was a little anxious, and couldn't help raising his voice: "Why are you still chasing him away? Now Qi Ji has confirmed that Yang Yizhao is indeed dead. Once His Majesty wakes up, he will definitely avenge Yang Yizhao, and I'm afraid he will immediately launch a war to the north. But you know that although we have successfully recovered Zhao Yin's lost territory and wiped out Yun Zhen's army and severely damaged the Yuanzheng Empire, in terms of national strength, the Yuanzheng Empire still has more than enough. If we launch a war to the north now, we don't have much chance of winning. If things go wrong, His Majesty will die here before the war starts. The purpose of our visit this time is called peace talks, but in fact it involves Yun Huan's energy and weakens his defenses. If we do well, we can suppress his development and achieve a situation where one side gains while the other loses. And we secretly prepare and restore our strength, so that we can catch up. Now we can drag it out for a day, but you..."

Seeing Bai Shu's intense reaction, Mu Tong laughed in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted. The louder Bai Shu's voice was, the better. He was afraid that the boy outside couldn't hear him, so he immediately lowered his voice and said, "This is why you don't understand. If this boy is really related to Yang Yizhao as you said, he is a jealous person. Once he knows that I am a latecomer, there will always be a thorn in his heart. He will wait for others to coax him and it is impossible for him to take the initiative. If both parties don't take the initiative, our plans will be in vain. After thinking about it, I might as well throw a clear card and let this boy weigh the importance of it himself and take the initiative to stay. As long as he takes the initiative, things will go smoothly in the future. A good girl is afraid of a clinging man. As long as this boy is willing to take the initiative to work hard, there is nothing that can't be done. Keep your voice down so that he can't hear it."

Bai Shu finally understood and whispered, "I see. You have the idea. But if he really leaves, or pretends to stay but has evil intentions, how should we deal with him? After all, he really came from an unknown place. What if my speculation is wrong?..."

Mu Tong patted his shoulder and said, "If he really had evil intentions, he wouldn't turn around and scold us for being irresponsible. Even if we take a step back, it's better to keep him under our noses than to let him hide in the dark. We praise him and tolerate him openly, but guard against him secretly. After observing him for a period of time, the good and the evil will naturally become clear."

Bai Shu nodded: "That's right." Before he finished speaking, he heard Shu Yan's voice coming from the crack of the door not far away: "I'm still worried about leaving her to you guys. Since she wants to go to Yandu City, I will send her to Yandu City and wait for her to finish her business before I leave."

Mu Tong made a face, smiled silently at Bai Shu, then turned to Shu Yan with a stern face and said, "Food and lodging are provided, and the rest is one or two taels of silver per month. No more."

Shu Yan pushed the door open. "What? One or two taels? Are you crazy? What can you do with this little money?"

Mu Tong laughed: "Don't worry, maybe the work can be done quickly, in less than a month. Let's make a deal first, if it takes less than a month, we will charge you by the day. Don't count on us to be idle. Oh, by the way, since you are working for us, we are your leaders. The rules of our country do not allow subordinates to violate the rules of their superiors. If you violate the rules once, you will be fined one penny. You better work hard, maybe I will be waiting for you to give me money. Bai Shu, you can talk to him, I am tired, I'm going to take a rest."

After saying that, he left with a loud laugh, leaving the angry Shu Yan to Bai Shu, and went on his way freely.
