Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 20 Gaining Trust and Reputation

When Mu Wanqing heard this, she felt unhappy, but when she went to see Duan Yu, she didn't refuse.

Immediately, Mu Wanqing stood up and took Zhao Mu to Duan Yu's room.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is really not small, it is twice as big as the Dongping County Prince's Mansion in his hometown.

But this is normal. According to the etiquette system, Duan Zhengchun is the prince's younger brother. And his father is just a hereditary county king.

Mu Wanqing led Zhao Mu through the corridor of the palace. At this time, Mu Wanqing took the lead and said, "Are you really willing to marry me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Mu Wanqing suddenly said such a sentence.

However, Zhao Mu asked back at this time: "Is Miss Mu willing to marry me?"

Mu Wanqing turned around and said with tears in her eyes: "Of course I don't want to. I only love Duan Lang in this life. I, Mu Wanqing, swore that I would commit myself to the first man who saw my appearance. It's a pity that fate has played a trick on people, and Duan Lang turned out to be my brother."

Zhao Mu said: "This is indeed a trick of fate. What was originally a perfect match has now become like this. But Miss Mu doesn't want to marry me, why do you ask?"

Mu Wanqing wiped the tears on her cheeks and said: "I don't want to bring shame to my parents and Duan Lang. Because of my insistence on going my own way, I fell into the trick of the Qing Pao Ke. I didn't expect that he wanted to damage Duan Lang's reputation." . I heard that Brother Zhu and others around Dad mentioned that the current emperor of Dali has no heirs, and Dad only has a son like Duan Lang. The future emperor of Dali must be Duan Lang. I don’t want to shame Duan Lang because of my affairs. Now only if you marry me, can this matter be put aside."

Zhao Mu saw her pear blossoms with rain, then spread his hands and said: "Miss Mu is thinking too much. I and Miss Mu are innocent. If it weren't for the time, you and I would have escaped from the tunnel. And I Nor will he easily marry a woman whom he has only known for a few days. Besides, it is impossible for future generations to criticize unofficial historical gossip. Isn’t the ‘Candle Shadow Ax Sound’ between Taizu Taizu of the Song Dynasty and Taizong a typical example?”

Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian lived in the mountains, and she could not understand any of the allusions Zhao Mu said. But she understood one thing, Zhao Mu would not marry her easily.

Mu Wanqing was a little angry at the moment. Mu Wanqing thought to herself, "I have already condescended to marry you, and you still talk nonsense."

Seeing Mu Wanqing's expression, Zhao Mu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. Zhao Mu then said with a smile: "My words are blunt, please don't blame Miss Mu. I was born in the middle of the Duan family, and wanting to be my wife is not an easy task. You don't have to think that you have wronged yourself." .Okay! Prince Duan and I still have something to discuss, so I would like to ask the girl to lead the way."

Zhao Mu was not in a hurry, Mu Wanqing's "thorns" should be carefully sorted out before being pocketed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to discipline him in the future.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but snorted coldly when she saw Zhao Mu's arrogant look. Then he continued to lead the way for Zhao Mu.

Not long after, the two of them arrived outside Duan Yu's room.

Mu Wanqing stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Duan". She wanted to call "Duan Lang" out of habit, but the relationship between the two made it impossible to say the last word.

Seeing her coy look, Zhao Mu shouted in front of the door: "I, Zhao Mu, please see Prince Duan!"

Although Duan Yu was feeling very uncomfortable at this time, he still held on to his spirit and said, "Is this Mr. Zhao? Please come in quickly."

Then Zhao Mu and Mu Wanqing entered Duan Yu's room.

Duan Yu saw Mu Wanqing coming in with Zhao Mu. He looked at Mu Wanqing and shouted: "Mei Wan, I..." But in the end Duan Yu never said it.

Mu Wanqing also glared at Duan Yu, then turned around and left quickly.

Zhao Mu asked straight to the point: "Master Duan, since you know my martial arts, what is your relationship with my uncle? Are you my uncle's disciple?" Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Duan Yu was also surprised. shock. But then Duan Yu asked: "So Mr. Zhao is a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect?"

When Zhao Mu heard Duan Yu ask the key words, he stretched out his hand, revealing the Seven Treasures Ring on his hand, and then said: "He is from the Xiaoyao Sect, but he is not a disciple, but the leader. I am the master of the family before his death. On my request, I went to the blessed land of Langhuan in Wuliang Mountain in Dali to look for my uncle to learn martial arts. I don’t want Mr. Duan to know the martial arts of our sect. The Lingbo Weibu you use is Qinggong passed down from the Xiaoyao sect. Are you my uncle’s disciple?”

Duan Yu didn't speak when he heard this, because Duan Yu's mind was now filled with the matter of following the immortal sister's last wish and killing all the disciples of the Xiaoyao sect.

Zhao Mu saw that Duan Yu was speechless, and then said to Duan Yu: "Prince Duan, don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, please ask Prince Duan to send someone to fetch my luggage from my room, and I will show Master Duan's portrait to Master Duan." "

Although Duan Yu didn't answer Zhao Mu's words, he still called his maid to go to Zhao Mu's room to pick up his luggage.

Not long after, Zhao Mu's luggage was brought in. Zhao Mu took out a portrait of Li Qiushui, then opened it and said, "I heard from Master that the woman in this painting is my uncle."

Duan Yu looked at the portrait in Zhao Mu's hand and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Immortal."

"Ah!? What kind of fairy sister?" Zhao Mu murmured.

Duan Yu came back to his senses and said: "It's nothing. To be honest, Mr. Zhao, I saw this portrait in my mother's Taoist temple before, and I have always wanted to ask. I wonder if the fairy sister in this portrait is related to you. What’s the origin?”

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Mu "accidentally" showed Duan Yu a portrait in Yuxu Temple before.

This small act of coincidence also indirectly saved the secret book of "Beiming Magic".

Because in the original world line, Duan Yu always carried the secret book of Beiming Divine Art with him.

In the original world line, Duan Yu went crazy after being poisoned by Duan Yanqing. His body was unbearably hot. In confusion, while tearing his clothes, he also tore the map of the Beiming Divine Art on his body. And tore up.

But in the current timeline, because Duan Yu saw Li Qiushui's portrait in advance, he suspected that Zhao Mu was a disciple of the Xiaoyao sect, and he was afraid that the scroll left by the fairy sister would be forcibly taken away by him.

Therefore, after returning home, he immediately hid the secret book in his study room and did not take it with him.

It was such a small mistake that prevented the tragedy of the magic secret book being lost.

However, even the time traveler Zhao Mu did not notice this small detail.

Zhao Mu handed the portrait to Duan Yu, who admired the portrait like a beautiful woman.

Zhao Mu said: "I have never seen the woman in the painting. I just heard the master say before he died that the woman in the painting is my uncle. But this portrait of the master is from decades ago. Even if the uncle is still alive, , I’m afraid she is already an old woman and will not live up to the grace of the person in the painting.”

Zhao Mu said while sizing up Duan Yu's reaction.

Seeing that Duan Yu still didn't completely trust him, Zhao Mu gave him a decisive blow.
