Chapter 1073: Meet the Young Master
The meal was so tasteless that Li Chuyi didn't even know what he had eaten. He was only thinking about the Seven-Day Cicada and clues about Yu Yao.
How could others not see that he was preoccupied, and the lively conversation gradually cooled down. The three of them glanced at Li Chuyi secretly while eating. At the end of the meal, Li Sinian only drank a bottle of wine.
The three of them were not fools. They guessed from many signs that what had happened just now, and that they were also involved, but they had no memory afterward. Only Li Chuyi and Xiao Erhei had memories.
It's a pity that Li Chuyi didn't say anything, and Xiao Erhei also pretended to be dumbfounded. They couldn't force them to say it, so they could only keep the matter in their hearts.
The originally cheerful dinner ended in a dull manner. When the meal was over, everyone involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.
It's so depressing.
I haven't experienced this kind of depressing atmosphere for a long, long time.
Li Chuyi is a heartless person. Even if the sky falls, he has to eat two chicken legs and take a nap before talking. He is so worried that he can't even eat well. This kind of situation is rare for him. .
The waiter was called to the store through the jade slip of ordering food, and it was Xiao Wu who had received them in the first place.
After consulting Xiao Wu, the little fat man and Li Sinian each waved their hands. One took away the untouched leftovers, and the other took away the wall-high wine jar. Then the little fat man reached out and held down the storage box. bag.
"How many spiritual stones are left?"
"No, the money has already been paid. This is the food payment you two paid before, please keep it!"
Xiao Wu respectfully handed over two storage bags, one to Li Chuyi and the other to Li Sinian.
Li Sinian was stunned and turned to look at the little fat man. The latter was also slightly startled, and then frowned.
"Who paid?"
"Your friend." Xiao Wu said respectfully.
"friend?"
Li Chuyi frowned.
Could it be the seven-day cicada?
After looking at Xiao Wu's face, Li Chuyi secretly shook his head.
No, it's impossible for Qi Ri Chan, that money-minded old ghost, to do such a thing. Besides, Xiao Wu doesn't know him, so how could he be so respectful?
That was the person who came to pick him up.
Qi Ri Cicada asked Xiao Erhei to tell him that someone would come to pick him up, and he had been wondering who it was. After thinking about it, there were only two of them. I just didn't know whether the person's surname was Yuwen or Mu.
Following the teleportation array back to the first floor, he turned around the screen and came to the door. As soon as Li Chu looked around, he still couldn't find anyone, when a slender old man in white clothes took the initiative to walk forward.
After looking Li Chuyi up and down, the old man's face relaxed and he smiled happily. He clasped his fists and bowed his hands in a salute. There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
"Old slave Mu Dong, meet the young master! Young master, you are back. The old master has been looking forward to you for a long time!"
Mu Dong's voice was not loud, but Xiao Wu heard it clearly. His eyes bulged, his legs softened, and he almost sat down on the ground.
He had already guessed when he met Mu Dong just now, but now that he heard these words, he realized that his guess was still shallow.
Young Master? The head of the family?
Xiao Wu's mind felt like it was struck by thousands of thunders. Li Chuyi's fleshy face became increasingly blurry and unreal in his eyes.
Ignoring Xiao Wu who was about to suffocate, Li Chuyi frowned and looked at Mu Dong, looked him up and down and asked, "Are you from the Mu family?"
Mu Dong hurriedly responded: "Young master, that's right."
"You want to take me to Mu's house?"
"Back to the young master, yes. As soon as the master of the family received the news that you were arriving in the imperial capital, he sent an old slave over. However, when he arrived, you and several of your friends had already started eating, and the old slave did not dare to sweep your I'm interested, so I've been waiting here. Now that you've finally come out, it's getting late. I wonder if you can go home with me, the old master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Chuyi did not comment, and asked after a moment of silence: "The old patriarch you are talking about, are you talking about Mu Fangli?"
Mu Dong's face turned bitter, and he came closer and whispered: "Young Master, that's right. But you'd better not call the old patriarch by his first name. Although the old patriarch doesn't care, there are many rules in the Mu family, and this is a street." "It's not a good idea to call me by my first name."
Rules are too much for me!
Li Chuyi rolled his eyes, but Mu Dong had always had a good attitude and would reach out to avoid hitting the smiling man, so he didn't have the nerve to fight back directly.
After looking at Li Sinian and then at Fang Junnan and his wife, the little fat man shrugged and said, "Okay, I understand. You go back. I'll go when I have time."
"Uh...young master, won't you go back with me?"
Mu Dong was stunned. He didn't expect Li Chuyi to refuse directly without any tactful excuse.
Li Chuyi laughed dumbly, tilted his head and said: "I never said I wanted to go with you? If you call me, I will go. Who do you think I am? Call me home for dinner? Okay, you go back and follow Mu Lao ...Old Patriarch, tell him that I don’t have the time or interest. When I’m not busy anymore and have some leisure time, I’ll go take a look and see how majestic the Mu family is.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, but Mu Dong quickly stopped him with a wry smile.
"Young Master, do you think it's not respectful enough for the old slave to come here alone? It doesn't matter. I will summon the Mu family and send people to block the street immediately. A chariot with eight dragons and horses will take you back. Do you think that's okay?"
With that said, Mu Dong took out a piece of jade and wanted to summon him. Li Chuyi quickly stopped him and rolled his eyes in a cold sweat.
Just kidding, he came here to find Yu Yao this time. Being discovered by the Mu family was already bad enough. If Mu Dong was to go through such trouble, the old man was afraid that everyone in the imperial capital would not know that he was here, right?
Returning a horse with eight dragons is the standard for a titled prince. Yu Hao is getting this treatment now, but ordinary princes are not qualified to do so. If you sit up, even if you don't show your face, with the intelligence capabilities of the Supervision Department and the old emperor's understanding of the inside story, a fool will know that it is him.
Li Chuyi was puzzled. It had only been a day since he entered the city. Except for some gaffes at the city gate, he thought he had not shown any signs of timidity. Why did the Seven-day Cicada and the Mu family know his whereabouts? Woolen cloth?
Doesn’t the Inspectorate also know about it? Will the old emperor send someone to your door soon?
The little fat man was filled with helplessness.
Seeing this, Mu Dong thought he was still dissatisfied, and suddenly he was filled with helplessness.
"Young Master, if you are still dissatisfied, there is nothing I can do about it. In fact, the old master means not to cause trouble in the city, so he only sent the old slave here. It is not that he does not value you. The old master said that there is no one in the city. Taiping, I'm afraid that too much noise will cause troubles, so I want to take you home first and tell you about the current situation in the city so that you can feel confident, and then we can have a grand reunion banquet, and then let you It’s not too late to go out and have fun on your own.”
"What kind of reunion? How come we are reunited? We don't necessarily recognize the kiss yet. I think you are too anxious, right?"
The little fat man didn't give any face at all. The most difficult thing in his life was to recognize his relatives. He was looking forward to it but also bored, and he had no idea in his mind. Now Ting Mudong directly skipped the step of acknowledging his relatives and didn't even leave him a chance to choose. How could he be willing and directly rejected her.
"How can you deny it!"
Mu Dong became anxious on the spot and took two steps forward to grab Li Chuyi's hand, but in the end he didn't dare to do so and could only stand there anxiously.
"Young Master, I know that you feel aggrieved, but please say something more. The master of the house really cannot be blamed for this matter. Since the death of the eldest lady, you have been missing and your whereabouts are unknown. The master of the house has been inquiring about you. It's a pity that there was no result. It was not until decades ago that I learned that you appeared in Mobei. The old family leader immediately knew that his adopted son Mu Qingqiu was in Mobei to inquire about you. You were sent back, but Taixu Palace interfered with it. The Great Evolution at that time also had some twists and turns. In addition, you had the opportunity to be around. The old family master gave up the idea and asked Mu Qingqiu Duoduo to take care of you and wait for you. I brought you back after you came out of Xuan Bing Han Prison. Unfortunately, there were many twists and turns. After you came out, you went to Taixu Palace. It took you all these years to come to the imperial city. The old family master often sheds tears when he thinks of you wandering alone. , He will not miss you this time no matter what. Young Master, the old man is your grandpa. Since he has been worried about you for so many years, please come back with me to see him!"
With that said, Mu Dong leaned over to kneel down, but Li Chuyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He was not used to an old man kneeling down by himself.
"Young Master!"
The corners of Mu Dong's eyes were moist, and Li Chuyi's head hurt when he saw it. He glanced at Li Sinian and Fang Junnan, and the three of them gave him helpless looks.
Reluctantly, Li Chuyi had to change the topic first.
"I don't know the Mu Qingqiu you're talking about, but I know an old ghost who looks like a child, called Mu Tong, do you know?"
"Oh, you are talking about Xiaomu, I know. He is Qingqiu's little apprentice and Qingqiu's adopted son. He also has a senior brother named Muqi, who is also his adopted son. Both brothers are active in the vast wasteland, and Muqi is here Lutan established Buwu Valley, and Mutong established Zhigorin in Luhai. Both of them are doing well, which brings peace of mind to Qingqiu. "
Li Chuyi was secretly speechless.
I had long felt that the relationship between Zhi Gorin and Bu Wugu was not that simple, but now I suddenly realized that the masters of their relationship were brothers. No wonder their names were so similar.
"What about Mu Qingqiu? I know Buwu Gu and Zhi Gelin, but Mobei seems to have never heard of the forces related to Mu Qingqiu?"
Mu Dong smiled and said: "Qingqiu, haha, he has a loose temper and cannot be restrained, so after the two apprentices settled down, they wandered around in the clouds and wild cranes all day long. He did not set up a mountain gate himself, but he and Mobei The four sects have good relations with all the major families, and he is a well-rounded person. Both the Mangshan Sword Sect and the Ice Palace respect him as a guest elder, and the Baisheng Pavilion and Silent Hill also treat him as a distinguished guest. Who is the most powerful in Mobei? It’s not his turn, but when it comes to who lives the most carefree life, Qingqiu is definitely number one.”
"So awesome?" Li Chuyi glared.
From what Mu Dong said, why does Mu Qingqiu feel a bit like a Taoist priest?
"Of course, this has something to do with the old family head. Although Qingqiu is not from the Mu family, he is the adopted son of the old family head. Our Mu family's face will be given by all the clans. In this regard, the Yuwen family is not as good as ours. "
At the end of the sentence, Mu Dong's face was full of pride, and Li Chuyi could hardly connect him now with the old man who worked hard to practice laughter.
Being keen, he also caught one of Mu Dong's words. Mu Dong did not use "royal family" to address the Yuwen clan, but simply used the word "family" without any respect in his words.
It seems that the rumors from the outside are true. The relationship between the Mu family and the Yuwen royal family is completely equal. Even though more than 10,000 years have passed, the Yuwen royal family has been the master of Dayan for generations. Psychologically, the Mu family has never lost to the Yuwen royal family. Half a point.
"Young Master, it's getting late, can you go back with me?"
After being distracted by Li Chuyi for a long time, Mu Dong finally brought the topic back, his arrogance disappeared, and he put on a sad face again and asked.
Li Chuyi was also very hesitant, and after thinking for a while, his eyes narrowed.
"I ask you a question, and if you answer it truthfully, I will go back with you."
Mu Dong was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Okay, you can ask! Don't say anything, as long as you want to ask, I will know everything that I can tell you!"
"Okay, let me ask you, how did my mother die?"
The scene suddenly became silent, and the depressing atmosphere overwhelmed everyone. Fortunately, Xiao Wu saw the opportunity and resigned early, otherwise he would have been suffocated by this atmosphere at this time.
Mu Dong didn't reply, but there was a little sadness in his old eyes.
Li Chuyi did not rush him, but stood there looking into his eyes for a moment, quietly waiting for his answer.
