Sunsets, vines and crows wither.
At sunset, there was no one on the official road.
There was the sound of horse treads slowly from a distance, and gradually a group of people came from the end of the official road At the end of the team, there was a carriage filled with various items.
Mu Qingge rode on the frontline, gazing at the city wall that had become majestic in the distance at sunset, and could not help but say: 'Luodu, I am back! '
This journey went to the Saint Yuan Empire, to the Rong Kingdom, to the Ancient Mage Kingdom, to the Li Kingdom, and finally to the Qin Kingdom. After circling around, he had passed the end of autumn and winter and had directly entered the beginning of spring in Luodu.
“It's been more than four months, and I don't know how your grandfather and whether he can take care of himself.” Mu Lianrong went up to Mu Qingge's side and said with a sigh.
Mu Qingge turned her gaze towards him, grinning, "Grandfather knows that you brought home a husband, he must be very happy."
“Badgirl, actually tease my aunt.” Mu Lianrong scolded with a smile. But his expression wasn't as shy as it was at first.
More than a month ago, they set out from the ancient witch country and returned to Qin.
When they arrived at Li State, the soldiers were divided into two groups, and Mo Yang summoned a team of Dragon Tooth Guards to escort Shang Zisu back to the Medicine Tower of Yu State branch. Calculating the time, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing should have already returned from the main courtyard to the branch courtyard.
Initially, he planned to bring Shang Zisu back to Qin, because Lou Chuanbo was also in Qin. I just don't want to. While leaving the ancient witch country, Qin State hears news that Lou Chuanbo knows that Mei Zizhong and the others have returned to China, so they left the Mu Mansion and returned to the Medicine Tower Branch.
This way, Shang Zisu no longer needed to turn the direction of the Qin State, and he would return directly from Li State to Yu State.
And they continued to head for the State of Qin.
Along the way, there was no rush, but calm. After walking for almost a month, I finally reached Luodu city.
Gradually, getting closer and closer to the time the city gate was closed, the people living outside the city accelerated their pace and left the city quickly. The drums finally rang
The sound of ⁇ —— reached the sky, and the heavy gate slowly closed Behind the gate, the city guards quietly pushed the gate to close it.
Just when the city gate was only one line closed, someone suddenly shouted: "Wait, we'll go to the city."
The people inside stopped moving after hearing the voice, but the door did not open. Instead, someone shouted: "The time to enter the city has passed, you will return tomorrow!"
After all, the city gate continued to be closed.
The one who called the door frowned slightly and shouted again: "Little Master of Your House, return home, open the door quickly!"
"Little Master?"
"Little Sir Alex is back?"
Behind the door, there was the sound of an excited discussion.
The door that was about to close was finally opened by a crack, and a captain came out of the crack and looked at the person who called the door.
Come here, ride a high horse ...
The captain narrowed his eyes carefully, and his eyes widened!
Not Fanma, but Spirit Beast Yanma, the mount of the Dragon Teeth guard Little Master!
With this discovery, the captain immediately shouted behind him, "Hurry up, open the city gates and welcome little Sir Alex back to the capital-!"
After all, the city gate behind him slowly opened. And he walked quickly to the man, and said respectfully, "Dare to ask Master, where is the little Master?"
Long Yawei said grimly, "Little master is already behind, and he will be there soon."
"Yes ..." The team leader did not dare to ask more.
At this moment, the door behind him had opened completely, and the guard sergeant inside also stood up. The captain called for someone to give the order, and the latter quickly ran towards the city wall.
After a while, the general who was defending the city took the others and quickly ran away from the wall.
...
When Mu Qingge reached below the city walls, he saw a team of four to five hundred people, all kneeling on one foot on either side of the city gates. The man in the general uniform stood in the middle.
As soon as he appeared, the general defending the city briefly recognized him, and hurriedly clenched his fists to salute: "Last general Li Gui led his subordinates to greet the little lord and return to the capital-!"
After all, the sergeants on the left and right shouted in unison: "Welcome little master back to the capital-!"
"Welcome little master to return to the capital-!"
"Welcome little master to return to the capital-!"
The neat shout, the same excited expression, and the overwhelming grandeur made Xue Qiao dumbfounded. He approached Mu Qingge and whispered: "Qingge, you are comparable to the emperor in this grandeur!"
Mu Qingge smiled and did not say much.
He said to the defense general Li Gui: "General Li is polite."
The simplest greeting made Li Gui almost smile with a flower on his old face. After saying this, Mu Qingge rode Heiyan towards the city.
Only after his figure was almost out of the city gate did he say softly, "The soldiers guarded the city fiercely, and each one rewarded a hundred taels of silver."
Hundreds of people outside the city gates were delighted with the reward from heaven.
They knelt down again, and said to Mu Qingge's back: "Thank you for the reward, Little Master!"
Xue Qiao felt the Qin army's admiration for Mu Qingge, and could not help but shake his head and say to his wife beside him: "The prestige of the Mu family might be stronger than that of the royal family!"
This sentence means nothing to punish the heart, but to explain the facts.
Therefore, Mu Lianrong also proudly said: "Because our family has a little Master!"
After getting into Luodu, most of the shops had long since closed, the public had already gone home to cook and rest, not many people on the street. A group of people walked towards the Mu Mansion.
They returned this time without telling Mu Xiong the right time before, only to surprise him.
The presents in the car were all items that Xue Qiao had bought along the road from the ancient Wu Kingdom to the Qin Kingdom to please the old man. In any case, he married his daughter without permission from an older person.If you don't want to bow your head and admit your mistakes, the future may be difficult!
After Mu Qingge and his group left the city gate, Li Gui hurriedly got up and said: "Hurry, send someone to the palace to report to His Majesty that little Sir Alex is back today!"
After speaking, Li Gui's expression became complicated.
Since the day the little lord left, the emperor had issued orders to all the generals guarding the gate. For the four gates, if he saw the little Lord return, he would have to report immediately to the palace.
The feeling between the emperor and his people was so overwhelming.
...
“Here.” Mu Qingge looked at the several plaques outside the Mufu Gate again.
It seems like every time I come back to look, I will feel different.
Everyone descended, and the house guarding the gate would recognize some people and immediately rejoice.
They wanted to report to her husband at home, but they were stopped by Mu Qingge.
After which, a group of people quietly entered Mu Palace.
Mu House, in Mu Xiong's courtyard. In early spring, the courtyard is surrounded by greenery and filled with various types of flowers and plants. It was already dusk, but Mu Xiong had yet to return to his room to rest, he was still standing in the courtyard, slashing the flowers and plants in his hands happily.
Youhe and Huayue accompanied her behind him.Seeing her obsessive appearance, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Huayue returned to the room and picked up her single clothes.
You He stepped forward and persuaded: "My husband, it's late. Let's take a break, but we'll have dinner."
Without looking back, Mu Xiong waved his hand and said, "What's the rush? By the way, my parents ate it alone. It doesn't matter if I eat early or later." After all, he sighed with emotion: "What's so good about eating alone. "
Huayue came out in his single clothes, but at this moment, one person walked out of the door.
He looked attentively, and when he saw the person's eyes clearly, ecstasy appeared in his gentle eyes. He opened his mouth to shout, but Mu Qingge raised her hand to stop.
Mu Qingge walked lightly in front of Huayue and took one outfit from her.
Huayue was so happy that tears flowed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Qingge patted her cheeks lightly and comforted her before walking towards Mu Xiong.
Up ahead, you He still carefully persuaded, "My husband, the servants are the ones left to look after you. If you don't eat on time, the servants should report honestly when little Master returns."
Mu Xiong hummed, and said angrily: "If that girl really has me as a parent in her heart, she will come back and eat with me!"
Suddenly, he felt clothes draped behind him.
There was also a very familiar voice: "OK, I will accompany Grandpa to dinner today."
Mu Xiong was surprised.
You He saw the visitor clearly, and said in surprise: "Little Master!"
Mu Qingge smiled over his jaw, and Huayue said to him as she walked in haste: "You've been working hard lately."
The two maids shook their heads quickly with tears in their eyes. They were all happy to see Mu Qingge return.
Mu Qingge smiled: "I understand."
“How long will it take to return this time?” Mu Xiong said stiffly.
Mu Qingge thought about it seriously and said, "At least annoying with Grandpa, I'll leave."
“Speech!” Mu Xiong scolded with a smile.
Then, he said with mixed feelings: "OK, I'll be back. I'll be back." He looked at Mu Qingge carefully, as if wanting to see if she was thin, tired, and persecuted outside.
Mu Qingge allowed him to look at her, and the corner of her mouth continued to smile.
After a long time, Mu Xiong relaxed and said, "Luckily, it doesn't seem like he's being persecuted."
"Grandfather isn't worried about me? It was always the only person suffering in front of me. Why am I suffering?" Mu Qingge laughed.
"Don't be arrogant and complacent." Mu Xiong nodded, stroking and denouncing.
"I understand." Mu Qingge according to.
“When I return, I will have an appetite. Let's go and accompany grandpa eat.” Mu Xiong threw out the scissors in his hand and said with a smile.
As he said, he instructed You Hehuayue again: "The two girls went to tell the chef and said that Little master will be coming home today and let him serve some good dishes. Our grandfather and grandson should drink a few glasses."
"Yes." Yeah."
Both the Young Lotus and Huayue responded happily.
Mu Qingge added: "Let the chef cook more dishes. Just adding a plate or two might not be enough."
“Ge'er, your appetite increases when you go out?” Mu Xiong asked in surprise.
Youhe and Huayue were also a little curious.
But they were even more worried whether they were not waiting, leaving little Lord Ferguson not well dressed and not eating enough. They will have a great appetite when they return.
Mu Qingge did not know what they were thinking, but smiled and said to Mu Xiong: "Grandfather, I am not the only one who came back this time."
Anyway, he looked at the door.
Mu Xiong also looked up, and after a while, another person walked out of the door.
"Long Misses!"
"Long Misses!"
Youhe and Huayue bowed and shouted.
Mu Lianrong tapped his jaw towards them and walked towards his father.
Seeing the return of his daughter, Mu Xiong's eyes were filled with excitement, he grabbed the hand that his daughter had handed over, and squeezed tightly: "How did the two of you meet? Since you guys are back together, I don't need to write to you before. Huh. . "
Mu Lianrong smiled and said, "Dad, don't get angry, don't we want to surprise you?"
"Surprised? I thought you two were deliberately watching my joke." Mu Xiong hummed.
Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge smiled at each other, and the family was happy.
Although they had lost a lot, they were still beautiful at the moment.
“How? During the first trip, did you find something interesting, can you adapt?” Mu Xiong asked concernedly.
Mu Lianrong was different from Mu Qingge. How the latter said that he had been dressed as a man since he was a child, and he was raised in front of a man. He was the ruler of Luodu at a young age. Not once or twice did he leave Qin State, and coupled with his own abilities, Mu Xiong was not too worried. Instead, it was Mu Lianrong, who had grown by his side since he was a child, and had never left Qin. The first time you go out for a walk, his father doesn't worry, it's fake.
Mu Lianrong smiled and said, "I'm fine, the outside world is vast, and I did meet a lot of people and interesting things."
“Where did you two meet?” Mu Xiong said suspiciously.
In the information he knew, his granddaughter and daughter went in different directions altogether.
“In the country of ancient witches,” replied Mu Lianrong.
Mu Qingge suddenly laughed, looked out the door, and said to Mu Lianrong, "Auntie, how long do you want someone to wait outside? If you're embarrassed to say it, I'll help you?"
“Qingge!” Mu Lianrong's eyes flickered, and his expression became embarrassed.
Mu Xiong looked at the clues and asked, "Oh? Who's out there?"
With this shout, Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge felt nothing, but Xue Qiao outside the door could not stand up anymore, so they had to walk out of the shadows, standing outside the door, and respectfully bow to Mu Xiong: "Little daughter-in-law Xue Qiao, meet your father-in-law! "
His words caused the people on the page to react differently.
Mu Xiong was like a bolt of lightning, and Mu Lianrong was embarrassed and hard to bear. Youhe and Huayue were shocked to the point of covering their lips with their hands, only admiring Qingge's smile while watching the show.
“You, you ... what did you say?” Mu Xiong pointed at him, his tone trembling.
Xue Qiao could only endure the panic in her heart, and bit the bullet and said again: "Little daughter-in-law Xue Qiao, pay your respects to your father-in-law!"
This time, Mu Xiong heard clearly. He turned his stiff neck, looked at Mu Lianrong, widened his eyes and asked, "You married yourself as soon as you came out?"
“Dad!” Mu Lianrong felt embarrassed and angry, and stomped his feet sadly.
What did his father say? Like how much I hate getting married.
He could not get angry at his father, he could only burn the flames on Xue Qiao's head.
"Cough cough." Mu Xiong ignored him at this time, but raised his face to Xue Qiao and raised his father-in-law's attitude. "Who did you say you were? How did you meet my daughter? Who else is in your family? What are you living in now ..."
With a crackle, Mu Xiong asked a lot of questions.
Xue Qiao was sweating, but she did not dare to be careless, so she wrote everything respectfully and replied carefully one by one.
Every answer circulated in my mind several times, and I was sure there was no problem before I dared to say it to Mu Xiong.
After he finished, Mu Xiong wanted to ask again.
Mu Qingge directly said: "Grandfather, it's late, let's eat first. If there's anything, you can say the same as you eat. After all, the visitor is a guest."
Mu Xiong looked at her for a moment, and could only say, "OK, eat first."
On the road, Mu Qingge walked in front with Mu Xiong, and Mu Lianrong and Xue Qiao walked in behind.
Seeing the depression on Mu Xiong's face, Mu Qingge whispered: "What did grandfather do? Are you upset that your aunt got married?"
Mu Xiong's face turned stiff and he said in a flat tone, "How could I possibly be angry when your aunt can find a lover? It's too sudden. I don't know what Xue's character really looks like."
“Do grandfathers not believe in Bibi's vision?” Mu Qingge smiled: “Try thinking. Aunt is married. It took me a long time before I could definitely add a grandson to you. How good is it?”
When he heard the word 'grandson', Mu Xiong's eyes sparkled, and when he saw Xue Qiao, he also delighted his eyes.
Of course, when he saw Mu Qingge, the impatient expression on his face became clean, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "Here, I don't think I can look forward to it anymore, but luckily, I can, there's still your aunt. Talk to the child surnamed Xue, the future of Lian Rong's child, regardless of male or female, must be surnamed Mu! "
...
“You said you are from second-class country Yu Kingdom?” Mu Xiong confirmed again.
After three rounds of wine, Mu Xiong slowly received the son-in-law who suddenly appeared. However, he still had his own worries.
Xue Qiao nodded.
Mu Xiong frowned and said, “Will your family agree to your marriage?” After which, he looked at Mu Lianrong, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
It was not that he felt that his daughter was unfit for Xue Qiao, but there was a gap between a third-rate country and a second-rate country.
Moreover, his daughter's age was a little older, so Xue Qiao's talent and appearance would definitely not worry about marrying a wife in Yu. Can the Xue family accept a wife like his wife?
Mu Xiong's words made Mu Lianrong bow and put down the chopsticks in his hands.
Upon seeing this, Xue Qiao hurriedly grabbed his small hand and reassured Mu Xiong: "My parents are very open and will definitely like Lian Rong. Besides, this is my own wedding. Who is the best wife for me, I said Father-in-law, this time I am here to get your approval. Later on, I will bring Lian Ronghui to the Yu Guoxue family and personally tell the elders of the family all of them. Don't worry, I'll never be persecuted. With Lian Rong, I will never let her down! "
Xue Qiao's words made Mu Lianrong return confident.
Mu Xiong also nodded slightly relieved: "OK, I trust you. But here's my ugly story. If you dare to betray Lian Rong, let her be persecuted. I don't care what your first-class country is, second-class country. Regardless of how strong your Xue family is in the Yu country, the iron cavalry of my Mu army will pit the Xue family and seek justice for my daughter! "
Xue Qiao looked surprised, and took a breath to be sure: "Father-in-law, rest assured, there will be no that day!"
"okay! Drink up!" Mu Xiong raised the wine bowl.
Xue Qiao immediately raised the wine bowl in front of him, and after touching Mu Xiong, he drank it.
After that, some people began to discuss the details of Mu Lianrong's marriage in Qin.
According to Mulianrong's mind, she did not want to get married. Since he couldn't worry about his father, he was also amazed at the type of family the Xue family was in, and he didn't want to be detained.
Fortunately, Xue Qiao understood his thoughts. They promised that they would only go to the State of Yu to inform the marriage. After everything settled down, the two of them returned to accompany Mu Xiong, and then continued on their way and settled into their permanent home at the Qin Guomu Mansion.
Seeing that they could not talk about the topic of the three of them, Mu Qingge quietly retreated.
