Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 74 Jealousy

Faced with Wang Yuyan's sudden outburst, Zhao Mu was a little surprised, but he did not comfort her.

Zhao Mu then ignored Wang Yuyan and started warming up the fire.

After a long time, Wang Yuyan also felt that she had lost her composure. She apologized to Zhao Mu and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry. My attitude just now was not very good..."

Zhao Mu said: "It doesn't matter, everyone has a bad mood sometimes, and besides, this kind of involuntary thing is really irritating."

After saying that, Zhao Mu let out a long breath and said: "But fortunately, I don't have any independent power now. Maybe I can choose a girl I like."

Wang Yuyan murmured and asked, "Oh? Why is this?"

Zhao Mu stretched out his hands to her.

Wang Yuyan still tilted her head and looked at him questioningly.

Zhao Mu said: "Of course it's because of my martial arts. I have the protection of Master Fuyin, which gives me the strength I have today. This also saves me from having to win over or make friends with too many people. Therefore, I don't feel wronged too much. .Besides, I already have a title, so I don’t expect anything more.”

After listening to Zhao Mu's words, Wang Yuyan sighed: "It's a pity that my cousin's request is too great. Mr. Zhao is not as open-minded as you are."

Zhao Mu smiled when he heard this and said, "It's a good thing to ask for something, just don't let your obsession turn into an obstacle."

Faced with Zhao Mu's calmness, Wang Yuyan also let go of her last guard. After a while, the heavy rain outside the door gradually stopped.

Zhao Mu took one look and said, "Let's go. It's almost time for us to meet up with Miss A'Zhu and my eldest brother. If they are still there, it was raining heavily and it was hard to tell the direction. Let's go in the direction we came from. Maybe we can get there." Make peace with them.”

After Zhao Mu said this, he turned around and went downstairs. Wang Yuyan, who had regained her strength, got up and followed.

After arriving downstairs, Wang Yuyan looked around and said, "Mr. Zhao, it doesn't feel good that these people are abandoning corpses in the wilderness right now."

Zhao Mu packed up the horses left by the Xixia people and said, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Naturally, Wang Yuyan did not say anything stupid about Duan Yu. She said to Zhao Mu: "It is better to burn this place with fire, and save these people from dying without a burial place."

Zhao Mu glanced at Wang Yuyan, and then said: "You are not a big man, but you are very vicious. This small mill is an individual's private property. You, a young lady from a wealthy family, don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. This small mill may be the only one owned by ordinary people." If we just burn their belongings and make them lose their source of livelihood, wouldn’t it be the same as killing their whole family?”

Zhao Mu sometimes really disliked the behavior of some "heroes", fighting, breaking the tables, chairs and benches in the inn and leaving, or, as Wang Yuyan said, burning down other people's properties without compensation.

When I was reading the book, Zhao Mu introduced the protagonist and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But after he truly came to this world, as a mayor, he also learned about the difficulty of life for the common people.

Although he is not a good person, and is even a complete hypocrite, he can say with confidence that he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately, nor has he ever harmed an ordinary citizen. As for other people who don't cheat, it doesn't matter.

Although he can't control everyone in the world, if he can control it at present, he will not ignore it.

Faced with Zhao Mu's accusation, Wang Yuyan wanted to say something, but she lowered her head like a child who made a mistake.

Zhao Mu finished packing, got on his horse, and said, "Don't worry! These Xixia Tatars will naturally have someone to collect their bodies. I left a note on the wooden pillar in the house. If the owner of the mill comes back, he will tell what happened here." Reported to the local government. These Xixia spies concealed their whereabouts and came to the hinterland of the Central Plains with evil intentions. With these corpses in hand, the Song Dynasty can at least hold the Xixia army accountable. The owner of this family will even receive some rewards from the government. "

Zhao Mu turned his horse around and said, "Okay, it's getting late. We should meet up with my brother and the others. Don't let Miss A'Zhu worry too much."

Wang Yuyan also got on the horse gracefully. She came to Zhao Mu and asked, "Young Master Zhao keeps saying 'Miss A'Zhu'. Are you in love with my sister A'Zhu?" Zhao Mu did not refute after hearing this. He smiled and said: "Haha, Miss A'Zhu is outstanding in appearance, quirky, clever, and considerate. She is indeed a good match." Then Zhao Mu said no more and turned around, pretending that Wang Yuyan did not exist. Generally speaking, he rode away on his own.

Faced with Zhao Mu's reaction, Wang Yuyan's face darkened again. Now Wang Yuyan was a little doubtful. As a young lady, couldn't she be as popular as a maid?

Then Wang Yuyan also rode up to catch up.

The two of them walked an unknown distance and met A'Zhu and A Bi coming on horseback.

A'Zhu saw Wang Yuyan, and she waved happily: "Mr. Zhao! Miss Wang! We are here!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu immediately rode up to meet him.

After he came to A'Zhu, he cupped his hands and said politely: "Miss A'Zhu, Zhao has lived up to his charge and brought Miss Wang back to you."

A'Zhu also smiled and returned the courtesy and said, "A'Zhu thanks Mr. Zhao for taking action."

Seeing Zhao Mu being so polite and courteous to A'Zhu, I thought of the "double standard" treatment I encountered. Wang Yuyan couldn't help but frown again and her face fell.

Abi saw that Wang Yuyan was not happy, and she asked: "What's wrong with Miss Wang? But what kind of injustice have you suffered?"

Zhao Mu looked back at Wang Yuyan's expression, and said, "We met a Xixia master before, and she got caught in some rain. Miss Wang may have been frightened and a little bit cold. She is naturally in a bad mood."

Wang Yuyan nodded with a forced smile.

Now that Wang Yuyan has been rescued, the two maids, A'Zhu Abi, are not willing to interfere in their master's private affairs. I didn’t ask any more questions at the moment.

Zhao Mu didn't see Qiao Feng, so he asked, "Miss A'Zhu, where is my eldest brother?"

A'Zhu said: "Gang Leader Qiao found the antidote to the scent of the Xixia people. After he protected us and regained our strength, we told him what happened after you left. Gang Leader Qiao waited for Mr. Zhao in the pavilion for a long time. , and Mr. Zhao didn’t come back, he asked us to tell Mr. Zhao that he had gone to rescue everyone in the Beggar Clan.”

Zhao Mu said: "If that's the case, then I will go to help my brother, and you guys will say goodbye!"

After saying that, Zhao Mu turned around and left.

At this time, A'Zhu stopped him and said, "Master Zhao, please stay!"

Zhao Mu turned the horse's head back and asked, "Is there anything else Miss A'Zhu wants?"

A'Zhu chuckled lightly and said, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, I heard Gang Leader Qiao say before that you are going to Shaolin next, right?"

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "That's right! Those bastards wronged my eldest brother in the apricot forest before. The easiest way to find out the truth of this matter is to go back to Shaoshi Mountain and ask about my eldest brother's biological parents. I understand everything. And I also have some things to do and I have to go back to Bianjing. I just happened to be on the way with my eldest brother."

A'Zhu said at this time: "Our young master also went to the Shaolin Temple. After discussing with Sister Abi, I also planned to go to Shaolin to meet my young master. Previously, Mr. Zhao cleared the grievances of my Murong family, and A'Zhu boldly asked Mr. Zhao to Colleagues, when I see my young master, my young master will definitely thank Mr. Zhao in public."

　Suddenly something urgent happens, and the big extravaganza these days may not be available. But let’s take it as much as possible.
