Chapter 1,074 Just here?

"Miss...it is said that she died while giving birth to you."

After a long time, Mu Dongcai said in a hoarse voice, not daring to look into Li Chuyi's eyes when he said this.

Li Chuyi was very calm, nodded and said: "I know this. I know that my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. You know what I want to ask. What I want to ask is that apart from my factors, my mother Is there any other secret behind his death?”

"This old slave doesn't know, young master, why do you ask this?"

"Uncle, it's me asking you again, not you. You look me in the eyes and tell me, do you really not know anything at all, or do you not want to say it, or don't dare to say it?"

"Young Master, don't call me that, I can't stand it..."

"Don't change the subject and answer me, are you not going to say it or are you afraid to say it?"

"..."

Li Chuyi's scorching gaze was compelling, and the mysterious Yin-Yang Dao eyes made Mu Dong instinctively feel wary, and the magic power in his body began to surge involuntarily.

The momentum had just begun to rise, but Mu Dong came back to his senses and quickly suppressed it. Looking at Li Chuyi's eyes for a long time, he slowly shook his head.

"Young Master, I really don't know. I only know that the eldest lady did die when giving birth to you. However, like you, I also feel that there is something strange in this matter. The old master has been pursuing this matter till now. If there is really something hidden inside, he will definitely know it. You can ask me when I go back. The remaining slaves really don’t know, and they can’t bear the responsibility of talking nonsense, so they should ask the young master for his consideration!”

As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed, not straightening up for a long time.

"Get up, you're too old to be like this."

Frowning, Mu Dong stood up. Li Chuyi thought about it for a moment, then turned to look at his three companions.

"The Mu family invites us to be their guests, are you interested?"

Fang Junnan smiled and said nothing, Liu Mingxiu smiled silently as a married woman, and Li Sinian took out a wine bottle and took a few sips, then wiped his mouth with his sleeves and showed a sly smile.

"I just haven't found a place to stay. If you don't need money, it would be a good idea to stay at Mu's house for one night."

Mu Dong was overjoyed. How could he not recognize Li Sinian's help? He looked at Li Sinian gratefully and said repeatedly: "No money! Of course no money! You are all friends of the young master, that is, our Mu family." As a distinguished guest, let alone staying for one night, there is no problem even if you stay for a long time, young master, you see..."

Looking at Li Chuyi expectantly, after the little fat man nodded slightly, the wrinkles on Mu Dong's face instantly opened, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Young Master, you and your friends will wait a moment, and I will call for the carriage and horses."

As he said that, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Li Chuyi who raised his hand.

"Instead of taking the car, let's go on foot. You can introduce me to the customs and customs here on the way. I just came here today and haven't had a good look around yet."

"this..."

Mu Dong hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Young master, the imperial capital is too big, and it may not be possible to complete the transfer in ten days and a half. How about this, it's too late today, you go back with me first, and I'll see you later I'll bring someone to accompany you after I'm done with the old family. Then you can go wherever you want, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chu nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say. But if I don't take the car, I'm afraid you'll sell me out, so let's walk."

"What you said is that you are a young master, how dare I sell you!"

Mu Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Li Chuyi refused to take the car, the caution and vigilance in the half-true joke made his heart ache again.

No one except the Yuwen royal family will take any heir of the Mu family seriously. They dare to step into the tiger's mouth even if they know there is a scam, because they know that with the support of the Mu family, no matter how powerful the tiger is, he has to become a house cat. , no one dares to harm their lives at will, not even the Yuwen royal family.

But Li Chuyi...

He felt sad when he thought about how much hardship he endured while living alone to develop such a hedgehog-like temperament.

If the old head of the family knew, I don't know how distressed he would be.

"If you don't want to sit down, don't sit down. I listen to you, young master. However, the Mu family is too far away from here, and it takes too long to walk there. What do you think we can hurry up and fly there?"

Li Chu was stunned: "The emperor can fly? Isn't it forbidden to fly?"

"Haha, it's forbidden air, but you can score. If we Mu family members want to fly, who dares to stop us?"

Li Chuyi was speechless after hearing Mu Dong's arrogance, and he had a more concrete understanding of the status of the Mu family.

Jumping up into the sky, Li Chuyi glanced at several figures walking quietly with them on the street below, and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing his face, Mu Dong smiled slightly, stepped forward and explained: "Don't worry, those are our people. The old master is worried about your safety, so he ordered the old slave to bring some people to protect you. Originally, the old master's The idea was to clear out the entire restaurant, but the old slave felt that it would not be good and would easily arouse the ideas of interested people, so he decided to wait outside alone. I’d like you to give me a few kind words, so I’d like to thank you in advance.”

Li Chuyi suddenly realized, and then said helplessly: "Let's discuss something. Can you stop calling me a young master? I'm not used to it! Also, you are from my grandfather's generation, so you should be considered senior according to your age. My ancestors are enough, why don't you just become an old slave? I call you Grandpa Dong, and you call me Chu Yi, so that we both feel comfortable, do you think so?"

Mu Dong hurriedly waved his hand: "You can't do it, you can't do it! The old master of the house is my master, and you are my young master. This is a rule and a duty, and you can't mess with it!"

"But what should I do if I feel uncomfortable?" Li Chu said with a headache.

Mu Dong laughed and said respectfully: "You have just come back. It is normal that you are not used to some things. You will get used to them after a while."

"I......!"

Li Chuyi was speechless and was about to continue arguing when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of silver-armored soldiers rising into the sky and heading straight towards them.

He held the sword with his backhand as usual, but when the hilt sank, Mu Dong held his hand, smiled and slowly shook his head at him.

"They're just a few blind brats, don't pay attention to them."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chuyi lowered his hand from the hilt of the sword, but kept holding the Dao Jue in his other hand to guard against any eventuality.

After flying about a hundred feet or so, the leading silver-armored commander finally saw the person coming clearly. The moment he saw Mu Dong, his expression changed and he quickly waved his hand to stop his men. He stepped forward alone and bowed in salute.

"Qi Youde, a humble employee, has met Mr. Mu Dongmu! I didn't know you were here before, so I offended you. I hope you can forgive me, Mr. Dong!"

Without even looking at Qi Youde, as if this person did not exist, Mu Dong flew past with Li Chuyi and others.

There was no dissatisfaction on Qi Youde's face, but he was secretly relieved. After hesitating for a moment, he asked respectfully again: "Sir, may I ask if you always need protection? In my humble position, I would like to..."

"roll!"

"Yes, I resign from my humble position."

Without a word of nonsense, Qi Youde led the people away in a hurry and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

Li Chuyi's eyes were opened. He had dealt with the silver-armored sergeant several times, and every time he was beaten to death. Who would have thought that these brave and fearless soldiers would have such a sad day? He was full of surprise. looked at Mu Dong.

"Are you the manager? From the palace or from the Mu family?"

Mu Dong smiled proudly: "Of course he belongs to the Mu family."

"Oh, that's right. Have you ever..."

As he said that, the little fat man glanced at Mu Dong's belly.

Mu Dong was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, looking dumbfounded.

"Young Master, you..."

"Are you still there?" the little fat man asked with concern.

Mu Dong nodded helplessly: "Don't worry, young master, the old slave is not an eunuch, he is all in good condition. The Mu family is not a palace, and there are no disgusting rules that violate people. The rest of the Yuwen family is pretty good, but they have followed those ancient bad rules. It’s really...Oh, I’m too talkative.”

"You didn't talk too much, you were right!" the little fat man said with deep conviction.

He also couldn't understand why the dynasty established by a group of monks still followed the disgusting rules set by mortal kings in ancient books. Is it just to highlight his nobility? Or are they really that worried about their wives?

No wonder no emperor in Dayan's more than 10,000 years of history could ascend to the immortal world. In addition to some human factors, these people also had problems with their Taoism.

You can't even see through such a trivial matter, and you have such an incomprehensible understanding when you worry about gains and losses!

Qi Youde may have informed others after he left. The rest of the journey was peaceful and no one came forward to question him.

In the newly rising night, Mu Dong pointed at the streets below that were lit up with lanterns from time to time, and introduced the famous buildings in the city to Li Chuyi. His humble look did not indicate that he was the domineering old manager Mu just now, with a pleasant look. The cordiality made Li Sinian and others couldn't help but relax, and they all came forward to chat.

When night completely enveloped the earth, the lights on the streets below were still there, but the people were slightly sparse. Feeling something in his heart, Li Chuyi raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a large area of ​​bright lights scattered at different heights in the distance. At a glance, the width spanned more than half of the imperial capital, and the depth did not even know how long it was.

"That's our Mu family!"

On the side, Mu Dong whispered, with pride that could not be concealed in his tone.

Li Chuyi didn't have the same sense of belonging as him, but he was also severely shocked.

"Grandpa Dong, don't tell me that the Mu family occupies half of the imperial capital!"

"No way, the Mu family is not that domineering!"

Mu Dong smiled and shook his head. As soon as Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard him continue: "It's only a quarter. If you include other industries, it can be more, but it can't reach 30%."

Li Chuyi was speechless. If he could beat him, he would really want to beat the old man.

How big is the imperial capital!

Can the word "just" describe a quarter of the area?

"What about the palace? Is it as big as the Mu family?"

"It's almost the same. The Forbidden City alone is not much bigger than the Mu family, but if you include the royal altar, it's almost 20% larger than the Mu family. The Yuwen family is the emperor of Dayan after all, and the courtesy should be given to them in terms of face. , We in the Mu family never care about this."

To be honest, even if he didn't like his cheap emperor father at all, Li Chuyi still had the urge to slap the old man.

This is so irritating!

The area is only 20% smaller than that of the royal family, and he also said that he "has to give face" and "never care about it". If he were the emperor, he would be angry to death!

Li Chuyi was very suspicious that the old man who called himself "Old Slave" was not just his grandfather's attendant and the old manager of the Mu family. There are many people who know these words, but few dare to say them directly like him. Li Chuyi estimates that ordinary Mu family heirs would not have the guts to say these words. This old man must have some other background, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. .

"arrive!"

Mu Dong's voice came, and Li Chuyi looked up. Dozens of figures rose into the sky in front of him, slowly approaching in a neat queue.

Looking at those people and the bright lights behind them, Li Chuyi felt a little dazed.

I have looked forward to it, hesitated, and struggled for so long before I got here.

His mother's home, his mother's home, just like this?

This is where my mother lived?

No.

Not life.

This is where my mother grew up and spent half of her life...
