The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40 Misunderstanding

Li Muyun didn't mention why he went to Khitan and what he did there.

And that little old man Li Yuan seemed to be okay, after seeing a fight, he continued to do what he should do.

The two brothers Chen Mu and Chen Huo who had been beaten up wanted to ask but dared not. They supported each other and went back to their "board house" in the back mountain.

Because Chen Huo was knocked out before he did anything, he looked much stronger than Chen Mu, only his chest and calves were bruised, while Chen Mu, who was crushed by Li Muyun, was much miserable .

I saw blue-purple bruises on both sides of the waist, underarms, inner upper arms, inner knees, etc. under the clothes, and immediately felt like a pinprick when lightly touched.

"This, isn't this too ruthless? They all attack the most vulnerable parts of the body!" Chen Huo exclaimed when he saw his elder brother's injuries all over his body, and his face changed color suddenly.

Chen Mu grinned bitterly: "That's not bad, at least they didn't really attack the vital parts. These places are not painful or itchy, and it will be fine if you raise them for a few days."

"But even so, you can't be so ruthless, right?" Chen Huo said angrily.

However, Chen Mu was obviously contrary to his attitude, lying on the couch and said seriously: "This is already the result of his mercy, at least he didn't move the black knife, and he didn't greet the vitals, well, at least he didn't slap him in the face !"

"Then.... Is that the way to go? Big brother, is your beating for nothing?" Chen Huo could roughly hear the meaning of his big brother's words, and he was a little unbelievable.

Chen Mu, who was lying on the couch, stared at his younger brother for a while, then sat up with grinning teeth, motioned for Chen Huo to bring a bowl of water, and then said in a rambling voice, "When will your temper change? You don't Did you find that even the Supreme Emperor doesn't care about him? Our task is to protect the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor doesn't care about what you care about, so you can do it?"

"But……"

"Don't worry, we are not the saviors, nor are we the magistrates of Shuozhou. No matter what kind of trouble that kid caused, we don't need us to recite it. Do you understand?"

"Brother, I understand the truth, but I just can't stand that kid. Isn't he just a bumpkin from the countryside? Oh, it's amazing to be the adopted son of the Supreme Emperor? Thinking about King Yin back then..."

"Shut up! Do you want to kill our whole family!" Hearing the word Yin Wang, Chen Mu sternly stopped Chen Huo.

King Yin, also known as King Xi, is the posthumous title and title given by Li Shimin to Li Jiancheng after his death.

This title was a taboo during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was related to Li Er's killing his brother and imprisoning his father. No one would mention it or even think about it on weekdays.

So when Ah Huo slipped his words because of a moment of anger, Chen Mu immediately stopped him.

Chen Huo knew that he had made a slip of the tongue when his elder brother yelled at him in a low voice, so he closed his mouth angrily, but after thinking about it, he felt a little unwilling, so he couldn't help but said, "Brother, in fact, you should also understand that that kid really It doesn't look like a good thing, or it might be a spy sent by another country. If we accommodate him like this, aren't we making trouble for ourselves? So in my opinion, it's better not to do one thing and keep doing the other..."

"Second brother, I advise you to put away that unrealistic idea and follow the Supreme Emperor honestly. It is serious to protect the Supreme Emperor." Chen Mu stretched his legs and sat on the couch, and glanced at the door , seeing that there was no one outside, he went on to say: "You have also seen that kid's skill, how sure do you think the two of us brothers are against him? Besides, you don't think the Supreme Emperor knows that the kid has a suspicious background ? But the Supreme Emperor didn’t say anything, so why do you make your own decisions!”

"I..." Chen Mu swallowed hard when he thought of what happened when he was knocked unconscious by Li Muyun's hand knife just now, and seemed to feel that he was not sure how to deal with Li Muyun, but he followed Chen Mu's words and continued to think. , Chen Lao Er suddenly felt that he seemed to have discovered something, his eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, tell me, could that kid be the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor?"

"It's hard to say. The Supreme Emperor was born in Taiyuan, and Shuozhou is near Taiyuan. Do you think it's normal for the Supreme Emperor to suddenly appear here, and then suddenly recognize a adopted son? And that kid's skills can be ordinary. Common people should have it?" Chen Mu glanced at his younger brother, with indescribable disdain for his belated awareness.

Chen Huo's small eyes were wide open, and his mouth was opened wide, as if he had heard some great news.

Seeing his expression as if swallowing a fly, Chen Mu gave him a hard look and said, "Just keep this matter in your heart and don't show it. If there is anything wrong with that kid in the future, as long as the emperor doesn't say anything, you will be fine." Do as he says, do you hear me?!"

"Listen, I heard it, but, but... But how do we explain it to His Majesty?"

Chen Mu was a little worried about his younger brother's IQ, so he glared at him and said, "Excuse me, it's just an illegitimate child, do you think His Majesty will care?"

That's right, it's just an illegitimate child, so what if he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan in the future, can he still go to heaven?His Majesty the Emperor is the master who dared to kill his own brother, would he care about an illegitimate child who came out of nowhere?Obviously this is not realistic.

After thinking through all this, Chen Huo felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at the elder brother sitting on the couch with an admiring expression on his face, he stretched out a thumb and gestured like a master.

……

Shuozhou Governor's Mansion rushed to the gate of the mansion on a fast horse like the wind, and a strong man jumped off the horse. The three red feathers on his back rose slightly with his movements, indicating the identity of the visitor.

The guards in front of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion had already seen the Hongling courier galloping towards him from a distance, and before he stopped, someone had already run in quickly, while the others were walking towards the courier, taking the courier from his hands. Take over the tired and foaming horse.

"Is Lord Shijun in the mansion?" The Hongling messenger casually handed over the horse to the guards, and asked as he walked in.

"Master Shijun is in the mansion, and the villain is leading the way for you!" The guard didn't know the identity of the Hongling messenger, but seeing his indifferent attitude towards him, he vaguely guessed that his identity should be far above his own.

These guards guarding the gate were actually specially arranged, and each of them had tall eyelids. Whoever came and what their identities were, in their eyes, they could basically see the same.

After all, if someone comes to the house, generally speaking, they are the first to come into contact with them. If you can't tell the general identity of the person, and casually dismiss the person who shouldn't be dismissed, will you lose your job? It would be unlucky for a few big figures who paid private visits to cause the "big officials" in the government office to be angered by others.

Therefore, in order not to arouse the thoughts of some big shots with special hobbies, most yamen gates will have one or two people with longer eyelids who can see the height of their eyebrows clearly.
