The next day, in front of the thatched hut outside the mountain, Mu Junwu and Tang Yun put several bags of goods they had purchased in front of Tang Min. "Min auntie, everything on this list has been bought," said Tang Yun with a smile, extending his hand to her.
Tang Min smiled and nodded, handing over two black cloth strips: "Here, tie them up!"
Tang Yin took over, dividing one for Mu Junwu. The two of them felt secure and Tang Min saw the situation and beckoned with her hand. Several black-clad men rushed out from around the thatched hut and came forward to support Mu Junwu and Tang Yin, taking them into the thatched hut and then walking along the hidden path inside.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, turn right.
As soon as Mu Jun's words fell, the man in black helped Mu Jun turn right.
Twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three...
I am testing whether your judgment is correct.
When he came out, he knew they had been deliberately led astray, so he only remembered part of it and then forgot.
However, on the way back, they seemed to have lost interest in taking a detour. After walking for a short while, Mu Junwu heard the familiar sound of dripping water. The unchanged rhythm quickly brought up possible routes that had been filtered out in his mind.
At this moment, he was verifying his judgment.
Just as they were passing through the secret passage, a Tangmen disciple knelt down in front of Grandma.
"Disciple is ashamed, got lost twice."
Grandma sat with her eyes closed in the main hall of the soul-snatching house, Hong Girl was massaging her shoulders.
The man's answer, however, only made Grandma's eyebrows slightly furrow, she still closed her eyes and didn't make a sound.
"How long have you been following him? Has he acted suspiciously?" Grandma didn't ask, but Hong Gu asked instead.
"Yesterday, the disciple followed for an hour, and today only two hours, was pulled by him to Tang Yun and shook off. However, during the follow-up, Mu Junwu had no suspicious behavior."
Grandma waved her hand slightly.
"Go down!" Hong Gu said hastily.
After the disciple retreated, Hong Gu stopped her movements and whispered to Grandma: "It seems that this Mu Junwu is quite cautious, do we want to try him again?"
"It's all right!" Grandma finally opened her eyes: "Mu Jun is a clever child, without any preparation, it's better not to go and provoke him."
"Yes."
"Can the recent home and Phoenix House still be at peace?"
"Fengju House is still the same, only picking and cultivating trusted people. As for the family business house... The materials collected from each house last time have all been transferred to the warehouse, and the numbers on the account book and our private investigation are not different at all."
"Grandma was shocked and straightened up a few inches, her eyes full of doubt: 'Huh, strange! Used to embezzling family property, this time you're not taking it?'"
Hong Gu furrowed her brow: "Yes, I'm also puzzled! This really isn't their usual character. Could it be that they too think they're in the wrong, so..."
"Don't be foolish, a trick is just a trick, it's just some fancy moves to deceive the eyes. I wonder what scheme he's thinking of to cheat me now!"
Grandma finished speaking and closed her eyes again, shrinking back into the chair. Hong Gu let out a sigh and continued to massage her shoulders.
After pressing a few times, Grandma hummed and said: "Let's wait and see!"
……
After Mo Jun and Tang Yin were sent back to the main hall of the agency house, they finally removed the black cloth strips that covered their eyes.
"This is the antidote, eat it!" Tang Min proactively handed over the antidote, and Tang Yu took it and swallowed it in one gulp.
After receiving the medicine pill, I glanced at it before swallowing it.
"Your procurement and arrangement this time are quite good, next time if there is any arrangement, I will come to find you."
Tang Min finished speaking and left. Tang He, who had been standing aside for a long time, walked to Murong Wu's side, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "Everything is going smoothly?"
Mo Jun nodded slightly, taking it as an answer.
Tang Yun stared at Master's hand on Mu Junwu's shoulder, with envy and loss in his eyes.
"Go back home and rest for now, I'll teach you again tomorrow."
Mo Junwu responded with a murmur and followed Tang Yun out of the main hall, immediately striding towards the courtyard gate.
"Hey, where are you going? Aren't you going back to your room to rest?"
I waved my hand in response to your question.
Tang Yin looked at Mu Junwu's back and pouted, then turned around and walked away with a huff.
"Hua Rou, Mu Shidi is looking for you!"
Ling's sudden shout made Zi Qi and Zi Hua, who were facing each other in the courtyard, freeze in unison.
"Here I come!" Hua Rou rushed out of the room with quick steps, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
"Brother Mu!" Hua Rou exclaimed as soon as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, where she saw Mu Junwu smiling at her. She immediately skipped forward with a smile.
"Follow me." Mu Junwu said, turning around and walking away, with his hands clasped behind his back, his sleeves fluttering with each step.
"Oh!" Hua Rou replied, following behind him. After walking a few steps, she reached out and pulled on his sleeve, her natural demeanor causing Linlin to smile as she closed the courtyard door.
"I've had enough!" Zi Qi stomped her foot in anger, threw down the wooden sword and rushed back into the house. Zi Hua simply rolled his eyes silently.
……
"So this time you came out of Tongmen and into the city just to buy things?"
Outside the bamboo forest, Hua Rou had been walking side by side with him for a long time, admiring his stories.
"Uh-huh."
"Is it fun in that city? Is it like Nanchuan..."
Hua Rou hadn't finished speaking when Mu Junwu suddenly turned around and covered her mouth with his hand. Hua Rou's body instinctively leaned back and stuck to a sturdy old bamboo tree.
I didn't let go of Huajun's soft lips, but instead vigilantly looked around and listened carefully to the surroundings, making sure there was no one else present, before saying in a low voice: "Don't mention Nanchuan, I don't want anyone to know that you and I were once in Nanchuan."
Hua Rong nodded gently.
"Have you mentioned it to anyone else?"
Hua Rou hastily shook her head: "No."
"Has anyone ever asked how you and I met?"
Hua Rou saw Mu Junwu's cautiousness in his eyes and thought seriously for a moment: "It seems there isn't."
"If someone asks you again in the future, make up whatever you want, just don't mention Nan Chuan, got it?"
Hua Rou nodded: "I know."
Mu Jun finally felt at ease and turned around to take a step forward, Hua Rou blinked her eyes and immediately followed behind him, asking in a low voice: "But why?"
"Mu Jun, I turned back and glanced at Hua Rou: 'Don't ask.'"
"Oh."
Don't ask me again, Mu Junwu said, Hua Rou could only suppress all her curiosity and obediently follow behind Mu Junwu, like a dumb melon.
After walking a few steps, Mu Junwu suddenly stopped, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Hua Rou.
Hua Rou saw Pa Zi and was somewhat surprised, she looked at Mu Junwu in confusion.
"Great job on the embroidery you gave me."
Hua Rouxian was taken aback at first, then a joyful expression appeared on her face: "Thank you."
Hua Rou took over the handkerchief, but saw that on the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered a red lotus flower, vivid and lifelike, she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
Admiring you, I see the gentle flower, with warm and tender eyes, softly saying: "Do you know? I almost didn't want to come back."
Hua Rou looked at Mu Junwu in surprise, but Mu Junwu did not evade her gaze and still gazed back at her with gentle eyes.
"Then you... why did you come back?"
"At that time, I thought to myself, if I don't come back, what if you get bullied?" Mu Junwu said as he reached out and rubbed Hua Rou's head: "Let's go together, let's leave together."
