Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 380 Farewell to Dali
After Zhao Mu felt it carefully, he confirmed that there were no outsiders. He then said: "Then I will also tell Madam a secret. Brother Duan is not my father-in-law's son."

"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Gan Baobao shouted directly. However, all the servants around her were sent away by her, and no one heard her.

Gan Baobao also noticed her gaffe and said, "Does Mr. Duan know about this?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "I don't know, or in other words, I don't dare to pursue it even if I know it."

Gan Baobao asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Although Duan Yu is not his father-in-law's son, he is still a direct bloodline of the Dali Kingdom. I accidentally learned about this from Dao Baifeng. There are many reasons that I and other outsiders cannot investigate in detail. "But one thing is certain, Duan Yu is not his father-in-law's son."

Gan Baobao looked at Zhao Mu and then asked, "Are you serious about this?"

Zhao Mu raised his hand and said: "I promise my wife in the name of the Prince of Song Dynasty. This matter is absolutely true. Besides, speaking of identity, I am also Ling'er's brother-in-law, how could I harm her?"

Gan Baobao nodded silently.

Zhao Mu continued: "My wife is also a subject of the Dali Kingdom. She must have known about the Yang Family Rebellion back then."

Zhao Mu said: "It doesn't matter. Not many people know about this right now. And even the wife's husband doesn't know that Ling'er is not his biological child."

Gan Baobao said: "So, Duan Yu is the direct bloodline of Dali?"

Gan Bao Bao broke off his fingers and calculated the hereditary relationship between Emperor Shangde and Duan Zhengchun. After breaking off six fingers, Gan Bao Bao said: "In this way, if Duan Yu is really not the prince's son, this marriage is not It can work! Our custom in Dali is different from that of the Han people. There is no such thing as people with the same surname and clan. Now Duan Yu and my Ling'er family can indeed be together for five generations. "

Gan Baobao nodded and replied: "Of course, when the Yang family was in rebellion, Emperor Shangde of Dali was killed by traitors, and Emperor Shangming led the Gao family to destroy the Yang family and restore him to the throne. Everyone in Dali knows this."

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. As for the cause and effect, I'm not sure about this. Maybe the father-in-law and his wife adopted Duan Yu, or there may be other changes. But these are not Important. The important thing is that Duan Yu is indeed his father-in-law. I was surprised when I first learned about this secret. But now is not the time to dwell on the fundamentals of these things. I think Ling Qianjin and Brother Duan are in love. It's a pity that good friends rarely get married. Now I'm willing to push the boat forward and make this marriage happen."

Zhao Mu noticed that he had said something wrong, and then changed his words: "Madam, please make it clear to your father-in-law that what you said before was just because you were afraid that your daughter would be wronged if she entered the palace, and her husband didn't like the Duan family and wanted to reject the marriage. It's just an excuse. My wife and my father-in-law are old lovers. I believe that my father-in-law will be very happy when our children get married."

Although Zhong Wanchou was old and ugly, he did treat her well. Not only did he obey her in everything, he never let her suffer at all. Every time I think about it, I didn't give Zhong Wanchou a wife, but still had an affair with another man. Gan Baobao felt a little ashamed.

Hearing this, Gan Baobao looked a little ugly, a little angry, a little ashamed, and even a little self-blame.

Zhao Mu said: "Yes, Duan Yu is a descendant of Emperor Shangde's lineage."

But at this time, Gan Baobao also looked embarrassed and said: "It's just that I gave Ling'er's birth date to Duan Lang before, and also informed him of Ling'er's life experience. After all, this honor is Duan Lang's nominal name. Parents and children, I’m afraid this is still a little bit.”

Zhao Mu looked around and continued: "Although this Valley of Ten Thousand Calamities is not bad, it is far worse than the palaces in Dali. Madam, a child like Ling'er, even if she doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about it. For the sake of the future of the child, the Duan family has already made a plan to eradicate the Gao family. In the future, the princess Gao Mei will become the queen of Dali. This is not something that Wan Jie Gu can compare with.

Gan Baobao was moved by Zhao Mu's words. Zhao Mu was right. Even if she didn't think about herself, she still had to think about Zhong Ling's future.

Putting aside the fact that Zhong Ling thinks about her brother Duan day and night, how many women in the world wouldn't envy her just based on her status as a queen? It was already the biggest regret in my life that I failed to get into Zhennan Prince's Mansion and married an old and ugly Zhong Wanchou. She didn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps in the future. Gan Baobao said: "If this is the case, I am willing to betroth my daughter to Duan Yu."

Zhao Mu said: "Okay! I believe Ling'er will come to inquire soon. Madam can relay the reasons I just said to her. I think this girl must be very happy. Madam will find another opportunity to talk to her. My father-in-law explained that this matter will fall into place."

Gan Baobao nodded.

When Zhao Mu saw that the matter was done, he didn't delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Gan Baobao, he got back into the tunnel and walked away.

Zhao Mu left the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations and returned directly to Dali City.

He came to the palace. Duan Zhengming and Gao Shengtai were out on inspection due to state affairs. Now Duan Zhengchun was the only one left in the court to supervise the country.

When Zhao Mu came to the Prince's East Palace, Duan Zhengchun still entertained Zhao Mu attentively.

After Weng and son-in-law sat down, Zhao Mu said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here to say goodbye today."

Duan Zhengchun asked: "My good son-in-law will only stay in Dali for a few days and let his father fulfill his duties as a landlord. Why are he leaving in such a hurry?"

Zhao Mu replied: "It's not about the Xixia Kingdom incident. August 15th is around the corner. I plan to go find out first, lest these Xixia barbarians cause trouble for me in the Song Dynasty again."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "Haha, a good son-in-law really works hard for state affairs. If Yu'er can be like you, I will be satisfied as a father."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "My father-in-law underestimated Brother Duan. If he were the king, he would be a wise king. But I can only dominate as the king, not the emperor. If I were the emperor, I would be as tyrannical as Shang Zhou." , Sui Yang.”

Zhao Mu looked around and confirmed that Dao Baifeng was not there. He whispered to Duan Zhengchun, "By the way, father-in-law, an old friend asked me to invite you to Gusu Mantuo Villa for a while. Her name is A Luo."

Duan Zhengchun was startled when he heard the name A Luo. Then he asked, "Xian son-in-law, how do you know A Luo?"

Zhao Mu replied: "In this rebellion against the Liao Dynasty, I also roped in Murong Fu as a foreign aid. Murong Fu's cousin is Li Qingluo's biological daughter. I also visited Mantuo Villa as a guest. I heard that I was your son-in-law. She I asked about it. I am coming to Dali, and Mrs. Wang asked me to bring you a message."

Duan Zhengchun nodded and said, "Okay! I have written down the message from my virtuous son-in-law. But please do not tell Phoenix or anyone else about this!"

Zhao Mu stretched out his thumb and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I know the depth."

Duan Zhengchun happily patted Zhao Mu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha, children can be taught! Sometimes as a father, I really hope that my virtuous son-in-law is my biological son."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "I don't envy this point. If I were like Brother Duan, wouldn't my marriage with Wan'er also come to nothing?"

When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he could only smile awkwardly.
