Chapter 121 Haunted House Talk
The old man who was guarding the door quickly turned around, nodded and bowed, "Master, it's Mr. Mu!"
"Take him in!" The voice was much gentler. Mu Yang put away his fists and took a few steps. He suddenly turned around. He saw the lights inside, just like during the day. It was a small house with all kinds of tea tables and chairs. But when he saw Luo Chuandao sitting upright at the desk table, there was a not-so-wise painting behind him. There was only a lonely city on it, with a horizontal plaque on it, and the word "zhong" was written on it.
"Young Master Mu was surprised, please sit down!" Luo Chuandao said with a kind look.
This was the most heart-willing sentence that Mu Yang had after entering the mansion. He nodded and said nothing. He sat down carelessly. Luo Chuandao asked seriously, "Young Master Mu, I'm visiting late at night, I wonder what business is there?"
Mu Yang thought that Luo Chuandao's house was like a haunted house, so he naturally had some doubts. He wanted to get close to Luo Chuandao, but he didn't expect to scare him into a cold sweat. Since that's the case, why not use the trick? He raised the wine jar in his hand and said, "I have heard that Lord Luo is a man in the wine hall, and he has not been able to find all the talented people in Tianxing City to get such a jar. There is no other intention to come here, just want to have a few cups with Lord Luo!"
Luo Chuandao was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Young Master Mu is really a person with temperament. Good. Since that's the case, come and let the wine and food!"
The janitor nodded and stepped back. After a while, he served the wine and food. Mu Yang stepped forward, took the wine glass, and poured the wine with a smile, saying, "Mr. Luo, come on, come and taste the wine I brought!"
"Okay!" When Luo Chuandao was about to serve the wine, the guardian went up to pick up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Okay, I heard that Mr. Mu is very drunk, how about drinking with me?"
Mu Yang knew in his heart that it was the old man who was guarding the door worried that the wine would be poisonous, so he stood up. It was the heart to protect the master. When Mu Yang saw it, he smiled and said, "Good, okay, I'm working hard, thank you for your kindness in leading the way."
Just as the two were about to drink, Luo Chuandao picked up the wine, stood up, and said, "No, come on, come on, how can you both drink wine? Come on!"
Mu Yang understood that this was Luo Chuandao in order to eliminate Mu Yang's doubts, and he smiled and said, "Sir, please!"
The three of them drank a big glass together, one cup after another, and before they knew it, a jar of wine was almost empty. The old man who preached and the guardian of the door also had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking a jar of wine, there was nothing wrong.
Mu Yang couldn't hold on anymore and became shaking a little. Luo Chuandao pointed to the painting on the wall and said to Mu Yang, "Young Master Mu, how do you think this painting is?"
When Mu Yang was in Chengyuan Village, he also learned a lot of painting skills with Zi Yu Zhenren. He staggered forward and looked at the painting carefully. He saw that the brushwork was rough and the composition was uncreative. It can be said that it was just a first-time painter who practiced writing.
Mu Yang shook his head and said, "This painting is nothing more than paper for beginners to practice writing. I wonder why Lord Luo hangs it here? Wouldn't this be a big shame? How about the following officials going to the street another day and bringing a few pictures for the adults?"
Luo Chuandao smiled and said, "Young Master Mu is well-read in poetry and books, and is proficient in calligraphy and painting. I admire you. I am just a rough man, but this city... Why not take a look at the content of this painting?"
Mu Yang smiled and said, "This city is so clean that it is built in sloppy. It comes from the layout of all sides. It is an easy to defend and difficult to attack. Look at the mountains and rivers on this side, which can be used as a natural barrier to resist foreign enemies. If you look at it from this perspective, this is pretty good. I believe the designers have also lost a lot of scheming!"
Luo Chuan Dao and the old man in the gate walked up and looked at it again and again. The two of them should have looked at the painting very carefully, and nodded from time to time, "It's not bad, it's true. I never expected that this city construction would be so particular!"
Mu Yang staggered to the table, poured wine for Luo Zhuanduo and the old man in the door, and said, "This painting is not special, but I wonder why Lord Luo would keep it here?"
Luo Chuandao smiled and said, "No, no, no, nothing else. This is just a casual handed down by a friend from afar. In order to commemorate this friend, he put it here, and there is no other intention!"
Mu Yang nodded and said, "So that's it. No wonder Lord Luo hangs such a painting here, it's rude!"
Luo Chuandao said, "Young Master doesn't mind, but I wonder if you have heard of Qianfeng City?"
When Mu Yang heard this, he was shocked. Did Dao Luo know something? Why did he ask about Qianfeng City? Since he knew something, why didn’t he ask him about Gu Haonan? He nodded and said, “I have been living in a remote countryside. I used to be like a frog in the well. I have never heard of it. Since the war between Yuanyue Kingdom and Tianxing Kingdom, there were more soldiers from the two countries. Once, a general of Gu... Gu... Gu... Gu... Gu?"
Mu Yang pretended to forget his memories, and the old man in the door added, "Gu Haonan?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Gu Haonan. There are six of them in total, all of them were injured. They were recuperating in our village for a while. Only from their mouths did they realize that in addition to Tianxing Kingdom, there were Yuan Yue Kingdom and Qianfeng City in the world." Mu Yang followed their words and led the story to Gu Haonan!
"Oh, sir, that general named Gu once said that if we have the opportunity to go to Tianxing City and find him, he will definitely repay me, but I don't know where General Gu and others are now?" Mu Yang asked directly.
Luo Chuandao slowly poured a sip of wine and said, "It turns out that the young master still has someone he knows in Tianxing City. General Gu Haonan was originally Dongqin, the subordinate of General Yang Jin, the general of General Tiance, to guard Yanghefeng City. But I heard that they had a sworn brother, the son-in-law of Yuan Yue Kingdom, who came to attack Yanghefeng City. He never expected that Gu Haonan turned against him and became a traitor, really!"
Mu Yang shook his head gently and sighed, "I know people but not my heart. If I had known that they would have wanted the traitors of the Star Kingdom that day, I would not have saved them that day!"
Luo Chuandao said disapprovingly, "I heard that one of them was a report named Sun Chenghua, who was betrayed by his own people, which made them feel disappointed. Come on, young master, drink wine!"
Mu Yang smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Luo rescued them from the execution ground? But I wonder why such a traitor should be saved?"
Luo Chuandao smiled and said, "The current Tianxing Kingdom is fighting with Yuan Yue Kingdom. It is the time to use people. Liang Guojiu thought that they were young and promising, so he temporarily left their lives. He was sent to recover Yanghefeng City, captured the prince-consort of Yuan Yue Kingdom, and then executed him after he asked about the situation!"
Mu Yang finally heard Gu Haonan's whereabouts. He shook his head gently and said, "When he mentioned them, when the Qiang side met them in the past, they swore that they must defend their country, but how could they betray them?"
Luo Chuandao also shook his head and said, "These people are not from the beginning. Now they are locked in the prison, so they won't worry everyone! Come on, Mr. Mu, drink, don't mention these!"
The three of them were in the small room, going back and forth, drinking unconsciously!
