Love is More than a Word, Chapter 25: Misfortunes come in pairs (7)...

The door that was soon to be stared out by Tao Mo and Hao Guozi finally opened.


Mu Chun stepped out first.

"Where's Lao Tao?" Tao Mo asked.

Mu Chun sighed, "Last night, when we were sleeping together, Lao Tao accidentally fell off the bed... "

Tao Mo and Hao Guozi drew their legs and rushed in.

Only to see Lao Tao lying sickly in bed with two visible bruises on his face.

Hao Guozi was straightforward and said, "Why did you fall like this?"

The corners of Lao Tao's mouth twitched slightly.

Tao Mo said, ''Does it hurt? You rest well, and I will go at once to the doctor."

"No need." Lao Tao covered his face and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not serious."

"It's the face that hurts. How can you take it lightly?" Tao Mo frowned, "It's not a bother to find a doctor anyway."

"Actually, I have something to say to you." Lao Tao digressed.

Tao Mo said, "What is it?"

"I think you must have guessed it, in fact this Mu Chun is none other than my old master's man." Lao Tao said, "He came this time to deliver a message for the Master Lao Family to send me back for a trip."

Thinking of the various grudges between Lao Tao and his old master, Tao Mo worriedly said, "Must we go back?"

"Rest assured. The old master has long since put aside his grudges. Just that we haven't seen each other for so many years and he wanted me to go back and catch up." Lao Tao let out a dry cough and turned to Hao Guozi, "After I leave, you have to take good care of the Young Master and whatever happens... just listen to Mu Chun more."

Hao Guozi puzzled, ''Mu Chun? Why listen to Mu Chun?"

Lao Tao said, ''Mu Chun has agreed to stay. He's young, but he's very experienced in dealing with people, so if there's anything you need, you can ask him."

Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao fondly and said, "I am not familiar to him, I am afraid it is not right."

Lao Tao knows that Tao Mo's temperament is introverted, and if he does not make it clear, he is afraid that it will be too easy for Mu Chun to control him, so he said, "I am a friend of his. You just feel free to use him boldly."

Hao Guozi said, "A close friend? But you look more like father and son."

Lao Tao said, "You can meet a friend, but you can't ask for one. Since we've met, where's all the fuss?" Actually, what he was trying to say was, where do you get to ask so many questions?

Hearing him say so, Tao Mo knew that the matter was irrevocable, so he could only nod his head and accept it.

Lao Tao added, “There should not matter. That Old Advisor Jin... Although Young Master hired aides, he has been in Tanyang County for many years and has relations with the entire county, usually believing about 7 or 8 out of 10 of what he says, but if it involves the Magistrate then it is credible." He could tell that the Jin Master's attitude towards Tao Mo had changed, but he still had reservations. If he stays here, he won't be afraid of him making big changes and controlling Tao Mo, but once he leaves, he wonders if Mu Chun will do his best to prevent that.

Thinking so, his eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Tao Mo.

How could Tao Mo not understand? But since he could see that Lao Tao's departure was imperative, he naturally would not add to his troubles, smiling and saying, "Just go without worry, I will be careful. There's still Mu Chun anyway, so I'll just ask him if I'm in trouble."

Lao Tao nodded his head and said to Hao Guozi, "You go and get Mu Chun up, I have something to tell him."




When Hao Guozi went out, Lao Tao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Even if it's Mu Chun, you have to be extra careful."

Tao Mo was stunned, and in a flash, Lao Tao's expression returned to normal.

In a flash, Mu Chun and Hao Guozi entered the door.

Lao Tao pulled a key out of his pocket and threw it at Mu Chun.

Mu Chun caught it in surprise.

Lao Tao said meaningfully, "I'm giving you both the Young Master and the Tao family assets together."

Hao Guozi gaped. This is... you have been entrusted for life?

Tao Mo obviously had some misunderstandings as well, looking blankly at Lao Tao and then at Mu Chun.

Lao Tao said, "Of course, when I return, I still have to get it."

Mu Chun laughed, "That's natural." With that, he turned to Tao Mo and bowed, "Your Excellency."

He has a pleasant voice, a good-looking face, and a graceful sense of self. The first time Tao Mo saw him, he thought the man was so absorbed in himself, his heart was pounding with emotion, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Lao Tao saw Mu Chun looking at himself puzzled, and busily said, "Me and Mu Chun have things to explain, Hao Guozi, you take Young Master out first."

"Oh." Hao Guozi tugged on Tao Mo.

Tao Mo woke up, his face flushed with red, and hurried out the door after Hao Guozi.

When the two of them were far away, Mu Chun pondered, "I thought he was attracted to Young Master Yi Yu."

Lao Tao rose sharply from the bed and said, "My Young Master has never been very discerning."

Mu Chun raised his eyebrows and said, "I rather think that Gu She is not bad."

Lao Tao said, "You know about Gu She?"

"Not only do I know about Gu She, but I also know where Gu She came from and his family background." Mu Chun smiled like a spring breeze, but in Lao Tao's eyes, it had the meaning of using this as a gesture. But for Tao Mo's sake, Lao Tao had to pull down his face and ask, "Where is he from?"

"Gu She is just his name, his courtesy name is... Xianzhi."

"Gu Xianzhi.... Gu Xianzhi?" Lao Tao's face changed as he remembered his identity, "How did he end up in the Tangyang County?"

"You can be in the Tangyang County, why can't he be in the Tangyang County?" Mu Chun was still in the same old state of mind.

Lao Tao frowned, "If he is Gu Xianzhi, the Young Master must not be allowed to have further dealings with him!"

Mu Chun raised an eyebrow, ''Why? Wouldn't Gu She's identity and background make him Tao Mo's backer? With him, it's not hard to get ahead in the official world, not to mention take care of the little fatherly hatred."

Lao Tao said, "Why do you say such things when you know what the Young Master has in mind for Gu She?" The implication was that he obviously had doubts about whether he could take care of Tao Mo.

Mu Chun laughed, ''There are no such as things set in stone in the world. How did you expect Marquis Xueyi to fall in love with Senior Ming in the first place?"

It was indeed something he had never expected. Lao Tao admitted that when he learned the news, he froze for two whole days before getting out of the daze. He originally thought that even if the Senior Ming became broken sleeves, the other party should be with Senior An, after all, there was a precedent for the old Senior Ming and the old Senior An, but he did not want this term of the Senior Ming and the Senior An are indeed broken sleeves, but only the one who had chosen the opposite of the Demon Sect - the Brilliant Sect. One chose the other opponent of the Demon Sect - Marquis Xueyi. It is true that there are no absolutes in the world.

It's just Gu Xianzhi and Young Master?

Even though Lao Tao is optimistic, he is not as optimistic as this one. "Rumor has it that Gu Xianzhi is so arrogant, he even dares to look down on the imperial decree from the emperor, so how could he not look down on the Young Master?"

Mu Chun laughed, "Isn't being high-minded and proud a weakness?"

Lao Tao froze.

Thinking of the scene at the lantern fair, Mu Chun vaguely had a bottom in his heart and said, "Don't worry. Even if Tao Mo does something to Gu She, I'm sure I'll let him get away with his whole body."

"Wait." Lao Tao looked at him suspiciously, "What do you want Young Master to do to him?"




Mu Chun said, "I'm just saying if..." Seeing that Lao Tao was still staring at him intently, he had to let go, "I promise, I will never interfere in anything between Gu She and Tao Mo, okay?"

"Except to protect the Young Master."

"Good, except to protect your Young Master."

Lao Tao still feels uneasy, but now, there is no other way but to trust him.

Mu Chun asked, "When are you planning to depart?"

"Departing today."

Mu Chun was startled, "So anxious?"

Lao Tao said, "If you have decided to leave, why the need to stay?"

Mu Chun laughed and said, "Elder Lu is really a quick-witted person. I will immediately gather the congregation to escort Elder Lu on his way."

Lao Tao squinted at him, "Are you afraid I'll run away?"

"How?" Mu Chun's smile grew brighter and brighter, "As the saying goes, you can run away from the monk but not the temple, right?"

Lao Tao grunted coldly, "By the way, I have a few more things to account for you."

Seeing his grave expression, Mu Chun also curtailed his laughter and said, "Please speak."

"It's about Old Master Tao... "

When Tao Mo and Hao Guozi learned that Lao Tao was leaving today, they were shocked. Tao Mo-see's advice was ineffective, so he had to make immediate arrangements for a long journey.

Lao Tao originally wanted to tell Mu Chun to do it, but he was so excited that he couldn't bear to spoil it, so he had to let him go.

Although Tao Mo is a first-time buyer, with Hao Guozi's assistance, it is still in good shape.

Mu Chun looked at the humble wooden plank carriage and whispered to Lao Tao, "The carriage I prepared is waiting for you at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the Tangyang County."

Lao Tao swept him with his gaze and nodded faintly.




In any case, it was really... time consuming to get there by ox cart.
