Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 19 Too anxious to eat hot tofu

With the four villains escaping and everyone in Dali leaving, the farce in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations has reached its final stage.

Duan Zhengchun and others first took Mu Wanqing back for diagnosis and treatment, while Zhao Mu went into the tunnel again to meet the three Dukes of Dali.

After a quarter of an hour of rest, the three men of Dali all regained their strength. The three of them escaped from the tunnel with Duan Yu and Zhong Ling.

When Zhao Mu arrived, he happened to meet them.

Duan Yu also woke up at this time, but he still had a headache after being hit by Hua Hegen on the back of his head.

After Zhao Mu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, he pulled Dali Sangong, Zhong Ling, Duan Yu and others up one after another.

Zhao Mu said to everyone: "Everyone is okay. The situation is urgent and it is my fault that I failed to put everyone into the tunnel."

Hua Hegen dusted off the dust on his body, and then said: "Brother Zhao, this is not your fault. Who made Zhong Wanchou come too quickly?"

Fan Hua grabbed Zhong Ling and asked: "Since the prince has been rescued, the royal family's face has been saved. Then let's go. What should we do with this little girl?"

Zhong Ling is small, cute and handsome. No one could bear to kill this little girl.

But the child was Zhong Wanchou's daughter, so they let her go. Everyone was afraid that she would tell Zhong Wanchou all the news. It’s very contradictory at the moment.

Zhao Mu said: "As a knight, even if you encounter a villain, you will kill the culprit without affecting your family. Since we have rescued the prince, why bother a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old child?"

At this time, Zhong Ling broke away from Fan Hua's hand covering his mouth and said, "Are you friends of Brother Duan? Don't worry, I won't tell my father. You guys, please take Brother Duan and leave quickly."

Duan Yu finally woke up completely when he heard Zhong Ling's voice. Duan Yu said: "Miss Zhong, Duan Yu has caused trouble for you this time."

Hearing Duan Yu also speak, Fan Hua completely let go of Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling said playfully: "This time it's all those ferocious villains who are not on good terms with my father. I'm relieved that Brother Duan is safe and sound. I've been missing all night, and my mother must be very anxious. Brother Duan, I'll go back first. When we have time, let’s eat melon seeds together.”

Duan Yu smiled and nodded. Then Zhong Ling trotted all the way back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

However, Yun Zhonghe has retreated now, so Zhao Mu does not have to worry about her safety.

Zhao Mu looked at Zhong Ling's back and said, "What an interesting kid."

Batianshi said at this time: "Okay, it's not suitable to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time. Let's go back quickly."

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Yes! But there is something I want to ask Prince Duan."

Hua Hegen said: "If we have something to do, it's not too late to talk about it when we get back. Why do we have to talk about it now?"

Zhao Mu said: "Now that I've asked clearly, I don't need to go to Wuliang Mountain."

Duan Yu was completely awake at this time because he was protected by the Beiming Divine Art.

Duan Yu knew that Zhao Mu wanted to ask about the "fairy sister", and he also had many things he wanted to ask Zhao Mu. But this matter is his secret and he doesn't want to tell others.

So Duan Yu said: "Brother Zhao, Duan Yu also has many questions to ask you. Can we talk in private after we go back?"

When Zhao Mu saw that Duan Yu understood what he meant, he immediately said, "Okay. Let's go back first and talk about it first." Everyone took Duan Yu back to Dali City.

Although this crisis was not entirely satisfactory, it at least preserved the reputation of the Duan family. Emperor Baoding personally held a banquet in Zhennan Palace to reward everyone.

Emperor Baoding sat on the throne, picked up the wine and said: "Today, the reputation of my Duan family is preserved thanks to your help. I would like to toast you all with this glass of wine."

After saying this, Emperor Baoding drank it all in one gulp.

Mu Wanqing, who had regained consciousness, always peeked at Zhao Mu who was sitting on the top of the table from time to time.

But it wasn't that Mu Wanqing fell in love so quickly, it was just that Zhao Mu ruined her reputation, and she was a little angry.

Seeing Mu Wanqing's slightly hostile eyes, Zhao Mu stood up and said, "Alas! This matter was not completely settled in the end. It's a pity that Zhong Wanqiu came too quickly, and I didn't have time to put Miss Mu in there." In the tunnel. It is my crime to cause damage to the girl's reputation."

Hua Hegen said at this time: "Alas! Brother Zhao helped us so much this time, but things didn't go smoothly. This may be God's will. Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry about it."

Duan Zhengchun also said at this time: "Yes. This is not your fault, Mr. Zhao. However, since ancient times, women's reputation has been as important as the sky, and Duan has a merciless request here. Although Miss Mu has not yet joined our Dali sect. But she is still my king’s daughter. A girl who has not yet left the court was carried out by the young master from the stone house in public. If this spreads out, it will be good or bad. Therefore, I boldly ask Mr. Zhao here, has Mr. Zhao ever been married? "

Zhao Mu looked at Mu Wanqing aside, and then said: "No! But what the prince said before. Wasn't it a joke to preserve the reputation of the Dali royal family?"

Duan Zhengming said at this time: "Even if it is a joke, if it can achieve good things, it can also become a good word."

Hua Hegen joked at this time: "Yes, Brother Zhao and Miss Mu are talented and beautiful, and they are well matched."

Mu Wanqing stood up and said, "I don't want to marry a man I've only met twice."

Seeing Mu Wanqing's determined look, Zhao Mu said, "Haha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Zhao Mu appreciates the kindness of both of you. It's just that this important matter of marriage must not be taken lightly. Important matters of marriage in the Central Plains depend on the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker. At the moment My mother is far away in Daizhou, but I am in Dali. This private life-long decision is always a bit insulting to the Dali royal family. Moreover, I have only met Miss Mu a few times, so this matter cannot be rushed. "

Seeing Mu Wanqing's decisiveness, Zhao Mu also had some excuses. Brother Duan Zhengchun stopped talking about this matter.

Zhao Mu knew very well that with Mu Wanqing's character, if Duan Yu had not rejected her face to face and made her give up, she would have always remembered Duan Yu.

Although Zhao Mu also liked this girl very much, he couldn't rush it at the moment. If she agreed wholeheartedly but Mu Wanqing disagreed, given her character, even if she really married him, she might commit suicide on the wedding night. I don’t know if this twisted melon is sweet or not, it can’t even quench my thirst.

The banquet went on as usual, and brothers Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming took turns toasting to thank Zhao Mu for his help.

Not long after, a greeting card arrived.

Duan Zhengchun's family general said: "I passed the Hulao Pass and asked to see the prince."

Hearing this, the atmosphere at the banquet cooled down slightly. Zhao Mu saw that the new "main mission" was triggered, and there was no use for him to stay here.

Now Zhao Mu's top priority is to find Duan Yu to retrieve the scroll of Beiming Magic. If Jiumozhi kidnaps him later, where will he find it?

At that moment, Zhao Mu put down the wine glass in his hand. Zhao Mu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, brothers. I'm too drunk to drink, and I have something to discuss with you. Since you all have official business, I'll leave first."

Hearing that Duan Yu had something to do with Zhao Mu, he came to pay his respects again.

The Duan brothers didn't stop him either. Duan Zhengchun said: "In that case, Wan'er, please take Mr. Zhao to look for Yu'er."
