Traveling day and night, the people of the Sanjiang Alliance spent more than half a month returning from Feihuang Dao to Weiyu Dao, and spent several more days to successfully arrive at Gusu City.
Outside the gate of the Witch Mansion, headed by Miao Qingcheng, many guarding masters from the Sanjiang League had already stood in a row. Seeing several carriages turning into the corner of the alley, with guards and entourage surrounding them, He Dingbang shouted: "
coming!"
Miao Qingcheng was overjoyed and quickly led everyone to greet him.
As Wu Guanting and others stepped out of the carriage, there was a chorus of neat voices: "Greetings to the leader!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Wu Guanting landed on his feet, smiled at his wife first, and then said quickly: "Brothers, please don't do this. During Wu's absence, I would like to thank you for taking care of the home."
Naturally, everyone refused and refused.
Miao Qingcheng was deeply in love with her husband, but after all, it was broad daylight and she did not dare to show it too much. After saying a few words, she held her daughter's hands with both hands.
Seeing that she was tired from the journey and her cheeks were smaller than before, she couldn't help but scold her warmly, which provoked Wu Yuanyuan's coquettish offensive, and finally had to slap her on the head as punishment.
Turning his eyes, Miao Qingcheng looked at Zhuo Mufeng, who was dressed in white and looked more handsome and mature after going through all kinds of hardships. He smiled and suddenly scolded: "You Zhuo Mufeng, my husband will accept you as my adopted son."
, but you plotted against my husband and wife’s precious daughter, what crime should you deserve!”
As for the matter of Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan, Min Huaixiang reported it to Miao Qingcheng through Bai Ge Tang on the way. This was specially instructed by Wu Guanting to give his wife time to digest, so as to avoid embarrassing things later.
After learning the whole incident, Miao Qingcheng was lying if she said she was not surprised. During the trip to Yangzhou, she knew very well that her daughter and Zhuo Mufeng were incompatible, and they were always trying to make things difficult for each other.
As a result, after going round and round, the two actually developed a relationship behind everyone's back, and they followed the husband's wishes and started it very early.
After much deliberation, Miao Qingcheng decided that it must be the last real battle. The two of them changed their views on each other after getting along day and night.
In this regard, Miao Qingcheng is more happy to see the results than Wu Guanting!
She has never wanted to marry her daughter to a relative of the royal family, or to choose the best. She understands her daughter's personality better than anyone else. She is beautiful, but she is full of thorns, and she does not have deep scheming. She will not be worried if she marries far away.
, I had discussed with my husband very early on whether to hire a son-in-law who would come to my house so that I could take care of my daughter nearby.
It's fine now. Zhuo Mufeng is the adopted son and will definitely stay in the Sanjiang League in the future. Naturally, her daughter will not have to leave her side.
Not to mention that this adopted son is so good, he has good looks, good brains, good talent, and is brave enough to save her life. He is trustworthy. Where can I find a better choice than this?
Of course, she was very satisfied in her heart, but Miao Qingcheng would not show it. Instead, she wanted to let the other party know how powerful she was, so as not to bully her daughter one day.
When they suddenly heard Madam's scolding, the masters of the Sanjiang League who were staying in Gusu City were stunned. They didn't know anything about it.
Those who knew about it, such as Meng Jiuxiao, Song Lele, etc., looked at each other, and then turned their heads elsewhere in unison, either looking up at the sky or looking down at the ground.
Having known each other for many years, who doesn’t know how powerful Miao Qingcheng is. He has managed all the alliance leaders to be obedient, leading to the reputation of being henpecked in the world. The majestic leader of the Sanjiang Alliance, a handsome and stable boss, does not even have a concubine so far.
No. They don't want to get into trouble.
Zhuo Mufeng was also a little confused. Seeing Miao Qingcheng's stern face, he was a little unsure whether the other party was really angry or pretending to blame him, so he couldn't help but look at Lao Meng.
Unexpectedly, Lao Meng watched with his eyes, nose and heart, as if he didn't see or hear anything, making it clear that he didn't care about himself.
Damn it! This is something you caused, and now you are withdrawing?
Zhuo Mufeng was a little frustrated, but he couldn't call the other person. He felt a headache in front of everyone, so he had to bite the bullet and respectfully bowed his hands to Miao Qingcheng: "Foster mother, I have no choice but to forgive you."
Hearing this, Miao Qingcheng seemed to have heard some big joke: "It's a last resort. Could it be that someone is forcing you to like Yuan Yatou?"
The atmosphere at the scene became even weirder. It was originally very lively. After all, the Sanjiang League had achieved excellent results. The eldest young master was even more shocking. His future potential was unimaginable. Everyone was silent after being disturbed by his wife.
Wu Guanting wanted to say something, but Miao Qingcheng glared at him and opened his mouth. He had to secretly pray that Zhuo Mufeng would be smarter and pass the test smoothly.
Wu Yuanyuan originally wanted to speak for her sweetheart, but when she heard Zhuo Mufeng say that love was a last resort, she couldn't help but look at him and wanted to listen to his explanation. If he said something that made her dissatisfied, hum!
Zhuo Mufeng said calmly: "Of course no one forces me to like Yuan Yatou."
Miao Qingcheng asked: "Then why is love so overwhelming?"
Zhuo Mufeng sighed: "Father, you should know that the love between a man and a woman often happens in an instant and cannot be explained. It is the biggest mystery in ancient times. For a woman like Yuan Yatou, as a normal man, I really don't want to like her.
Difficulties are like butterflies unable to stop the fragrance of flowers, and bees unable to live without nectar. I have no choice but to ask my foster mother to forgive me."
After that, he bowed politely again.
"Pfft!" Miss Wu couldn't help but laugh, and quickly pursed her lips tightly, but the corners of her eyes and brows were still full of joy and anger.
Everyone around looked at Zhuo Mufeng in shock. They never expected that the eldest young master could talk so well. What a talent!
Even Miao Qingcheng laughed and scolded: "What a butterfly and bee, don't do this to me. You have a glib tongue and you don't look like a good person."
Zhuo Mufeng felt that he was wronged, but when he saw Miao Qingcheng smiling, he knew that the other person was deliberately trying to scare him, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and picked out some nice and funny things to say.
Both Miao Qingcheng and her daughter were amused by him. Miao Qingcheng thought to herself that this guy was good, and the aura she had worked so hard to create was ruined. She couldn't continue acting today, so she simply ignored this guy and gave the initiative to her husband.
Under the leadership of Wu Guanting, everyone went to the Wu Mansion.
Zhuo Mufeng let out a long breath and felt someone pat his back. He turned around and found Song Lele, who gave him a thumbs up with an honest look.
Meng Jiuxiao hammered Zhuo Mufeng on the shoulder and said with a low smile: "Mufeng, you are still the best!"
Zhuo Mufeng shook his head with a wry smile, and was inevitably proud of his own response. Seeing Min Huaixiang looking at him up and down, he couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Min, what's wrong?"
Min Huaixiang: "Men who like to talk sweet words are basically not good people. I think you can speak fluently." The corner of his mouth curled up coldly, leaving Zhuo Mufeng with a back view.
Zhuo Mufeng: "..."
There was loud laughter all around, and Song Lele whispered: "Don't mind, this woman never likes men, eh, you know." After that, she left.
Zhuo Mufeng was stunned for a long time before he understood what Song Lele meant. He thought to himself that this was not the case. Such a delicate and aloof woman as Min Huaixiang was actually...
The news of the return of the Sanjiang League naturally caused a turmoil in Gusu City. In the following days, large and small sects continued to visit the door to send gifts and express goodwill.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Sanjiang Alliance is thriving and has an extremely good development momentum.
There is an alliance leader who is in his prime, a military advisor who knows all his plans, a group of outstanding talents, and a successor whose qualifications are unparalleled in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and even among the best in the world. If we work together and give him time, the future will definitely be better.
Will go further.
How can a sect begging for food in Gusu City not show some expression? If it doesn't matter, we should build relationships, and if there is a relationship, we should strive to reach a higher level.
The intuitive result of this incident is that more people apply to join the Sanjiang League. There are also many people who are constantly collecting information about the senior and even middle-level members of the Sanjiang League, wondering which of their children is more effective and can best join them.
Marry it.
Even Zhuo Mufeng's junior sister Shang Zirong was frightened during this period. Every day, some people came to the Mozhu Gang to ask for marriage, and they were all people with extraordinary status. When she first came to Gusu City, she could only
A person to look up to.
Shang Zirong cared about her senior brother, so she couldn't agree. She was so annoyed that she simply hid in a shop in the city. However, she was found again soon, and she almost couldn't even do business.
It wasn't until Zhuo Mufeng, who learned about this, warned him personally that those characters had to restrain themselves and regretfully chose to give up.
But Zhuo Mufeng himself was also in dire straits. He thought he would have a peaceful life when he returned to Gusu City, but he didn't know that endless troubles were waiting for him.
First of all, he did not dare to go out on the street. This was because many warriors in Gusu City recognized him. As soon as he walked onto the street, he would immediately attract attention from all directions, and then many warriors would come up to say hello.
After all, he is a righteous knight. Zhuo Mufeng couldn't keep a straight face, but as soon as he opened his mouth to respond, those warriors who were waiting to see what happened also rushed up, and it was endless.
It is said that many people originally planned to marry their daughters, but later they heard about Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan and realized that their daughters were not as good as the eldest ladies, so they had no choice but to give up.
After this incident, Zhuo Mufeng didn't show his face for a long time, and he didn't want to wear a disguise mask. Because there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Gusu City, his disguise mask had flaws. If someone saw out the truth, it would probably lead to other things.
.
But even if he stayed in the Wu Mansion and the Mozhu Gang, he would not be able to avoid the adoring and fiery eyes of the maids and slaves. Zhuo Shaoxia could only enjoy it all with "pain and happiness".
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Qin Keqing came to visit, and this woman was very clever. She expressed her wish to Zhuo Mufeng to join Songya Yuefu straight to the point.
I don’t know what kind of delusion she poured into Wu Guanting and his wife. In short, after making some remarks, Wu Guanting and his wife did not stop her. They just said to let Zhuo Mufeng make his own decision.
How could Zhuo Mufeng dare to refuse? With Qin Keqing's smiling expression, he agreed simply.
Qin Keqing immediately asked: "Mu Feng, do you want to be an official?"
Be an official?
Zhuo Mufeng was stunned, what was this woman doing?
He had always known that Songya Music House was closely related to the imperial court, so when the other party asked this question, he must be certain.
But on the other hand, he was secretly wary that this woman would give him such a big gift for no reason, so she couldn't be more deceitful, right?
As expected, I heard Qin Keqing say: "In more than two months, the Northern Qi crown prince and his wife will come to our Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They will pass by Gusu City briefly. Aunt Qin will recommend you to become one of the guards."
