Shan Yu snatches a kiss

In the early morning when the rooster crowed, the door of the Changfeng Escort Bureau opened slowly. The red paint on the wooden door had turned dark brown after years of baptism. There was a loud shout from the small backyard.

In one of the huts, a man was washing.After wiping his face with cold water, he took the cloth clothes on the side rack and put them on, and tied up his long black hair with a simple headband. His face could be described as a banished immortal, which is not an exaggeration at all, with picturesque features, Lips are like red cherry, so handsome that it seems otherworldly.

Although his appearance is beautiful, he doesn't look feminine, especially the determination in those deep eyes makes him more heroic, and the simple civilian clothes can't hide his temperament at all.

"Yi Xuan, get up quickly, you are the only one missing." Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Get up, I'll be right there." Mu Yixuan was startled, and hurriedly replied, but no one was invited in.

"Then I'll wait for you in the front hall."

"it is good."

After the visitor left, Mu Yixuan took the human skin mask placed on the bedside, put it on in front of the bronze mirror, and applied a layer of dark brown ointment on his neck and hands for disguise.

When he raised his face again, the handsome man who used to be extremely handsome now became thick eyebrows, high nose, dark skin, handsome but unobtrusive, walking in the crowd, no one would notice him.

After everything was taken care of, he opened the door and hurried to the front hall.

"Sorry, I'm late." Seeing a few people standing in the hall, he quickly lowered his head with a look of panic.

The Changfeng Escort Bureau is not very big, unlike the big family who buy rice and vegetables from the store, all the bodyguards take turns to go out to buy.

Today is the once-a-month shopping day, and it's his turn to go out with him.Usually he would get up when the cock crowed, but last night he had something on his mind and slept late, so that he missed the hour.

"It's okay, let's go." Chief Ji, who was in charge of purchasing, waved his hand, not taking his lateness to heart.

Mu Yixuan followed everyone carefully and left the escort agency, keeping silent, trying not to attract the attention of others.

Calculating that he has been in the Changfeng Escort for more than a year.

After leaving Beijing, not long after he got the news that his mother had failed in rebellion and committed suicide, he was so sad that he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights.

He didn't blame the emperor's brother for being cruel, after all, the queen mother committed a serious crime of treason, and the emperor's brother buried the queen mother generously, which was already very kind.

But many people in Beijing don't think so.There are still many people in the empress mother's family who are unwilling to give up, or maybe they want to keep their status and glory after the empress dowager's downfall, so they turn their brains on him.

However, he had no intention of the throne at all, and this change of palace made him deeply understand the horror of power. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, he abandoned the throne and stayed away from the capital.

After leaving Beijing for five years, he learned a lot of things that he couldn't think of before. For example, the disguise technique he uses now was taught to him by an old man who accidentally rescued him. The old man taught him the disguise technique and some self-defense techniques. Martial, lived together for about a year before parting ways with him.

This disguise technique prevented him from a lot of troubles. He was born like his mother since he was a child, with a handsome appearance. During the journey, he also met some dudes who harbored ill intentions towards him, so he simply changed his appearance and stayed in this frontier under the pseudonym Yi Xuan. In the small town's bodyguard agency, it took three years.

Last night, he dreamed about his mother again, she held his hand with blood all over her face, and kept asking him to return to Beijing to regain the throne, which made him sleepless all night...

Contemplating all the way, he arrived at the market unknowingly, and several bodyguards had already received the task and dispersed, while he stood aside in a daze.

"Yi Xuan, go to Chenji Rice Shop to buy rice, and tell Changfeng Escort Bureau to ask for it. We will meet you at the teahouse over there later." The head of Escort Ji, who was in charge of purchasing, took out a sling of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to him. hand, and handed over the horse behind him.

"Yes, Escort." He took the copper coins and put them in his arms, and led the horse towards the direction of the rice shop.

He used to live in the imperial palace with rich clothes and fine food, and he didn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, but now he knows all too well that the money he has saved over a year of hard work can only maintain basic food and clothing, which is very different from the past, but he has gradually gotten used to this kind of life After all, what I eat and use is hard earned, so I feel more fulfilled.

"Shopkeeper, the Changfeng Escort Bureau is here to get the rice." After Mu Yixuan strode into the Chenji rice shop, he put the copper coins in his arms on the table, without further words.

"Come on, this little brother is from the Changfeng Escort Bureau? It's a bit unfamiliar." The shopkeeper is about forty years old, with a mustache, and a waist as thick as a bucket. With laughter, the fat on his body trembles. .

"Well, it's my first time here." He glanced up at the shopkeeper and saw that he looked like a philistine. He was a little disgusted, but he didn't say much.

"The rice you want is ready, brother, please come with me."

He followed the shopkeeper to the rice warehouse in the backyard. The rice bags in the warehouse were piled up like a mountain. He accidentally stepped on a bag and found that there was a hole in the bag, and the rice in the bag leaked out, and the color was quite different from the usual rice.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and clean up." The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, shouting at the shop assistants.

"Those rice..." Looking at the blackened rice on the ground, Mu Yixuan frowned and spoke slowly.

If he was not mistaken, the rice was already moldy, and the shopkeeper still piled the rice here. Could it be that he wanted to sell it to others?

"Oh, it rained heavily a few days ago, and some of the rice was wet. Now that the weather is fine, I need them to take it out to dry." The shopkeeper smiled Mimi, trying to hide it.

Mu Yixuan kept silent, just looked at the rice on the ground and sneered in his heart.

When he was a three-year-old?No matter how hard the moldy rice is dried, it cannot be eaten by people.

"Shopkeeper, Li Xiucai is here to buy rice, should it still be the same?" At this moment, the man entered the rice warehouse and whispered something in the shopkeeper's ear, which was heard by Mu Yixuan.

"It's really useless to ask me about such a trivial matter." The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently.

Mu Yixuan, who saw all this in his eyes, said nothing, but urged the shopkeeper to deliver the goods. After checking the rice, he put the rice bag on the horse's back, turned and walked towards the teahouse.

The streets in the afternoon are very lively. Although the sun is hot, the yelling of the hawkers still attracts many passers-by to stop.

The small town is close to the border, and there are people of all races. Naturally, people from the Central Plains make up the majority, but there are also some tall barbarians.

"It's a worthwhile trip, the Central Plains is really rich in resources!" The loud voice is not very obvious in the noise, but there is an exotic style in the accent, which is unforgettable.

"Master...young master." The middle-aged man beside the attendant was about to say something, but the master glanced at him and immediately changed his words.

The young master mentioned by the brawny man is about 27 or [-] years old, with a stalwart figure, a bronze complexion, well-defined features, deep brown eyes and a wild and uninhibited appearance, showing a sense of wildness all over his body.

Although this man was dressed in a navy blue gown and waving a sandalwood folding fan, his appearance was gentle, but he couldn't hide the domineering aura of a king on his body, and there was a breathtaking smile on his handsome face.

"Pu Nu, remember to call me young master here." Putting away the folding fan, he rapped heavily on the attendant's shoulder, and the corner of Hu Yanqian's mouth slightly raised.

His mother was originally from the Central Plains, and it was his father who was snatched back by the former Hun King during a plunder. Therefore, his mother's status in the family has never been high, no matter how much his father loves the gentle and gentle her It's the same, and his half-brothers also looked down on him and excluded him since they were young.

After the death of his father, his life was even more difficult, but he was not defeated by it. On the contrary, he worked hard to accumulate strength and laid out his plans step by step. He finally got his wish, and when he thought he could make his mother live a better life, her mother left him due to illness.

Not long ago, the Emperor of the Central Plains sent a letter to express his intention to make peace with the Huns. He had always wanted to find a beautiful and intelligent Central Plains woman like his mother to be the Yan clan, so he immediately agreed.

Originally, he only needed to send envoys to welcome the bride, but he had always been yearning for the scenery of the Central Plains that his mother said, so he decided to take this opportunity of getting married and travel to the Central Plains himself. border town.

"Master, are you thirsty?" Punu asked.

"What you said, I'm really thirsty. Let's go to the teahouse in front to have a rest." Nodding slightly, Hu Yanqian walked straight forward, followed by Pu Nu.

At this moment, Mu Yixuan, who was driving the horse, was still thinking about the scene he saw in Chenji Rice Shop, and he didn't pay attention to the road ahead, and accidentally bumped into Hu Yanqian head-on.

"Ouch!"

"Bold!" Pu Nu was impatient, stepped forward, and punched Mu Yixuan in the chest.

"Pu Nu, stop." Hu Yanqian shouted, stopping the servant's impulse. "Little brother, are you okay?" He stepped forward and asked politely.Although the other party bumped into him first, but his subordinates would hit them indiscriminately, and he was also incapable of discipline.

"Ah... I'm fine, I'm sorry, I bumped into you." Looking up at the person who was half a head taller than him, Mu Yixuan was secretly surprised.

His height is no longer short, but the figure in front of him is really tall, and he has to raise his head to meet his gaze.

"It's okay." Touching the place where he was hit, Hu Yanqian shook his head indifferently, looking at Mu Yixuan with interest in his eyes.

Although the person in front of him was ordinary in appearance, his eyes were exceptionally clear, and he was seven or eight times like his gentle and intelligent mother. Just looking at him like this, he felt a sense of intimacy.

"That's good. I still have something to do, so let's take a step first." Thinking that the other people in the escort agency were still waiting for him in the teahouse, Mu Yixuan cupped his hands and led the horse away.

"People from the Central Plains don't understand manners at all." Pu Nu who was beside him couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"He didn't do it on purpose, you have to remember, young master, I'm a businessman now, so I don't need to make a fuss about everything." He raised his fan and knocked on the attendant's forehead, Hu Yanqian gave him a blank stare, and strode forward Go to the teahouse.

After tying the horse to the tree trunk at the entrance of the teahouse, Mu Yixuan went inside and greeted Chief Ji, then sat down at a table beside him, took a big sip from his teacup.

He casually chatted with the bodyguards sitting beside him, but he heard a voice coming from the door, which attracted his attention.

"Isn't this Li Xiucai?" The owner of the restaurant stood in front of the door and chatted with a man in his thirties.

"Boss Qian, how's the business going?"

"It's so-so. You're going to buy rice again."

"Yes, there was a flood a few days ago, and more and more people were affected. The rice I bought yesterday was all gone, so I bought another bag at Chenji Rice Shop."

"Did you finish eating so soon?" The owner of the restaurant was taken aback.

"A lot of disaster victims came last night. I temporarily placed them in the temple in the village. Not to mention, I have to rush back to cook porridge and donate."

It turned out that although Li Xiucai's family was poor, he had a warm heart. He couldn't bear to see the displaced people starving outside the city gate due to the flood, so he took them back to the temple in the village for resettlement, and bought rice as a gift out of his own pocket. Many people have met, and they have money to contribute money, have the ability to contribute, and help a little bit.

"Wait, take these for emergency." The owner of the restaurant took out a handful of broken silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Li Xiucai's hand.

"This...how can it be done? You donated money not long ago."

"You can take it if you want. You have a wife and children at home, and you can donate generously to buy rice and donate. Why can't I donate more money?"

"I thank you on behalf of those disaster victims..."

All these scenes fell into Mu Yixuan's eyes, his ink-like pupils brightened and then darkened, and the hand holding the cup was also exerted strength, remembering what he had just heard in Chenji Rice Shop.

He didn't want to be nosy at first, but after hearing what he said, Li Xiucai bought the rice to help the victims. He has a bodhisattva heart. If something happens...

When he came back to his senses, Li Xiucai had already left the teahouse with the rice on his back. Seeing this, he couldn't sit still, so he got up and chased after him on the pretext of going to the latrine, not noticing that there was someone staring at him in the private seat on the second floor Every move.

"Master, what's so good about that man?" Pu Nu asked in confusion.

"Booty." Hu Yanqian turned his head and glared at him, then looked out of the window, and saw Mu Yixuan stepping out of the door, catching up with Li Xiucai who had walked not far away.

When he just entered the teahouse, he noticed Mu Yixuan's existence, and thought it was a coincidence that he met him here just after we left.

He couldn't tell why, but this coincidence made him feel good. Maybe it was because the perseverance hidden in this person's eyes reminded him of his smart and strong mother.

At this time, Mu Yixuan had already pulled Li Xiucai to the alley next to the teahouse, and from where Hu Yanqian was, he could see it clearly from another angle.

After talking for a while, Li Xiucai immediately untied the rice bag and removed the upper layer. Although the rice underneath was still white, black mold could still be seen vaguely.

"Although the rice has been dried and processed, it has become moldy and cannot be eaten." Mu Yixuan stretched out his hand and scooped some up and looked carefully at it.

No wonder Li Xiucai didn't realize that after the shopkeeper dried the rice, he spread some intact rice on top. If he didn't check carefully, he didn't know that the whole bag of rice was actually moldy.

"No wonder someone had diarrhea last time. I thought it was because of acclimatization. It turned out to be the rice... No, I'm going to talk to him!" Li Xiucai blushed with anger.

"Wait a minute, the shopkeeper of the rice shop dared to do this, he must have nothing to fear, you may not be able to get justice if you go there, and you might be bitten back." Mu Yixuan stopped his recklessness.

"After what you said, I remembered that the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper of the rice shop is the big landlord in this town."

"That's it, do you want justice?"

"Naturally, please help me, brother." Li Xiucai excitedly held his hand.

"Such unscrupulous profiteers should also be punished." Although he had already abandoned the position of prince, he couldn't ignore such profiteers who stole people's money and killed people!

He lowered his head and taught Li Xiucai face-to-face instructions, but unexpectedly, his every move fell into Hu Yanqian's eyes.

Watching the interaction between these two people, although he couldn't hear what they said, he was as witty as Hu Yanqian, and guessed that there might be something wrong with Nami.This also made him extremely curious about what Mu Yixuan wanted to do.

He immediately decided to watch the play.

An hour later, Li Xiucai returned to Chenji Rice Shop and shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, are you there?"

"This... this is not Li Xiucai, so why do you want to do it?" Seeing that it was him, the shopkeeper's smile changed slightly.

"Give me another ten bags of rice." Li Xiucai put the broken silver on the cabinet with a "slap" sound, with an astonishing momentum.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and bring out ten bags of rice." Seeing that Li Xiucai didn't come back to settle accounts with him, the shopkeeper returned to Maitreya Buddha, and his eyes narrowed.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring my donkey. I need to trouble you to send someone to follow me back to send these ten bags of rice." Li Xiucai said.

"This..." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, hesitated and didn't immediately agree.

"If it doesn't work, forget it." As he said that, he made a gesture to take back the money.

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to help you send it back right away." Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly grabbed the silver and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Along the way, Li Xiucai took the initiative to greet people when he met them. Almost all the neighbors watched the guys from Chenji Rice Shop deliver rice to the temple entrance, and set up pots to cook porridge at the door.

During the period of delivering the rice, Mu Yixuan also went back to the teahouse, and after handling the security affairs, he quietly came to the village where Li Xiucai lived.

On the same day, Li Xiucai gathered all the victims in front of the temple, and asked the magistrate to preside over it in the name of giving alms. Naturally, the magistrate did not refuse, and came happily with his master.

Mu Yixuan smeared ashes on his face, wore patched old clothes, and hid among the victims. Looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes focused on him among the crowd watching.

Although Hu Yanqian had changed into a coarse cloth hemp farmer, he still stood out from the crowd as he was a head taller than the others. Fortunately, there was a taller Pu Nu standing next to him, so he was not so conspicuous.

In the front, Li Xiucai flattered the magistrate, and the magistrate also praised him for his kindness.

"This porridge..." Scooping up a spoonful of clear porridge, the magistrate took a closer look, but frowned.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Xiucai pretended to be at a loss.

"Bring a bowl." With a cold face, the magistrate took the bowl handed over by the master, scooped up a ladle and tasted it, and just spit it out, "There's something wrong with this porridge!"

"How is it possible? I just made this porridge with my own hands, it's the same as usual!" Li Xiucai shouted, with a shocked expression on his face.

"I ask you, where does the rice for cooking porridge come from?"

"Bought from Chen Ji Rice Shop."

"Come on, go and bring the shopkeeper of Chenji Rice Shop!"

In less than a moment, the shopkeeper of the rice shop was brought up, but there was no trace of fear on his face, and he still looked arrogant.

"The county magistrate, all the rice is bought from his rice shop."

"Shopkeeper Chen, is Li Xiucai telling the truth?" Zhixian asked sternly in a business-like manner.

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. There are so many rice shops in the whole city. How can you say that you bought them from my shop?" Seeing the incident happened, shopkeeper Chen simply argued to the end.

When he sold the rice back then, he deliberately put the rice into a rice bag without the mark of Chen Ji. Even if there is trouble to find him now, there is no evidence.

"I have a certificate. Everyone in the town saw that it was the guy from Chenji Rice Shop who brought the rice to cook the porridge." Li Xiucai said confidently.

"This..." Shopkeeper Chen's face changed, he didn't expect such a thing at all.

This is all a good game set up by Mu Yixuan, and Li Xiucai was asked to buy rice again in order to lure you into the urn and create evidence.

"Damn the profiteer!" A shout suddenly came out of the crowd, which immediately attracted repeated attacks from the crowd.

The public outrage was hard to appease, and the county magistrate immediately ordered shopkeeper Chen to be imprisoned pending trial, and only then did the public grievances be calmed down.

"Young Master, he planned all this?" Pu Nu finally saw something.

"Who else is not him, who can come up with this simple but effective method, this person is by no means an ordinary person." Seeing Mu Yixuan's eyes become thoughtful, Hu Yanqian suddenly cherished his talent , wanting to recruit this person to his subordinates.

The matter was over, and it was almost evening, the county magistrate left with a dark face, and Mu Yixuan also took advantage of the chaos to get out of the crowd and walked towards the escort agency.

"Young master, please stay." But as soon as he left the village, a tall figure stood in front of him.

Mu Yixuan raised his head to look at the person who came, and was startled. It was the man of the foreign race that he bumped into during the day.

Although the other party's appearance is imposing and doesn't look like a villain, but he still has some vigilance in his heart, "So it's Xiongtai, what's the matter?"

"Feng Qian, I'm new to Guibao to do business, so I don't know your son's name?" Hu Yanqian folded his fan and bowed to him.

Feng is his mother's surname. Although the Xiongnu have made good friends with the Celestial Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains still have some dislike for foreigners. In addition, Huyan's surname is too obvious. In order to avoid embarrassment, he changed his name.

"My surname is Yi. I'm sorry. I have something urgent. Let me take my leave first." He always felt that this person was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. One thing more is worse than one thing less. After clasping his fists in salute, he wanted to leave.

"Young master Yi, I feel that you are very close to me, how about inviting you to the restaurant?" Hu Yanqian still asked politely.

Talent is hard to find, not to mention that the person in front of him clearly wants to hide in the city, and he still knows the allusion of visiting the hut three times, so he doesn't take the attitude of the other party to heart.

"No need." Facing Hu Yanqian's enthusiasm, Mu Yixuan's heart became more alert.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

He hid himself in the bodyguard bureau because of his unusual status, and he made such a bad move in order to avoid right and wrong. If he hadn't been used to the actions of profiteers today, he would not be troublesome, but he was still entangled.

No matter what this person's purpose is, he doesn't want to wade into the muddy water.

"Young Master Yi, today's good show was done by you, right?" Hu Yanqian asked unhurriedly, waving his folding fan, not being repelled by his sarcastic words.

"Why do you..." He swallowed the rest of the words, saying anything further would be tantamount to admitting everything, so he simply said nothing.

Thinking about the other party's purpose, Mu Yixuan's face became serious.Could this person have been paying attention to him? If so, why?

"I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to make friends with you because I see you are very witty." Knowing that he had misunderstood, Hu Yanqian immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Thanks to Your Excellency's praise, Yi Xuan is just a mere common man, not worthy of Your Excellency's trouble, so I leave." After saying that, Mu Yixuan left with a cold face, without looking back.

Hu Yanqian wanted to catch up, but he was unfamiliar with the terrain, so Mu Yixuan got rid of him immediately, and couldn't help but sighed in frustration.

"Master, such a person who doesn't know how to praise, what do you want him for?" Pu Nu could not help complaining.

"This person is extraordinary, not a mediocre person, I must recruit him under my command!" Hu Yanqian, who was missing, was not angry because of this, but Mu Yixuan's departure aroused his fighting spirit.

The more you can't get something, the more you want to get it, and Hu Yanqian is no exception.

He secretly made up his mind that he must invite Yi Xuan back!
