C238

At the vermillion door stood two mighty stone lions, and two guards with big sabers.

As the scholar approached, a chilling aura assaulted his face, causing him to unconsciously restrain his aura.

Sensing that Chen Mu and Chen Qingyun's footsteps had slowed down, Feng Ling smiled gently, "What's wrong, these two guards are guarding the door and normally wouldn't take the initiative to disturb the guests. Don't worry, although they look very fierce, they are actually very friendly."

Even if they were not friendly, with Feng Lingxi as their master to lead the way, the guards would not do anything to them.

Chen Mu wasn't afraid of the two guards, but of the killing intent coming from the general's mansion. He opened his mouth, but realized that he was just an outsider. There were some things he couldn't say, so he closed it again.

"Miss." The two guards bowed towards Feng Ling Shi, and their gazes landed on Chen Mu and Chen Qingyun, who were by her side. They furrowed their brows, and said: "Miss, Master said that he will not see guests for the next few days."

Old master? A glint flashed across Chen Mu Mu's eyes.

Could it be that Feng Zizai had returned?

As she thought about this, Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up: "My father is back?"

The guard nodded, "Master has been back for four hours."

"So fast." Feng Ling Xi was so happy that her eyebrows were raised. She pulled Chen Mu Mu Mu and was about to rush inside when the guard blocked her with his broadsword.

"Eldest Miss, Master said that he wouldn't be seeing guests for the next few days. Please don't make things difficult for us, Miss."

"This is my friend, not the old man." Feng Lingxi snorted, "I'm the one who invited him here, you guys shouldn't be so presumptuous."

The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It's him that doesn't want to see guests, it's not me that doesn't want to see guests. You two idiots." Feng Lingxi glared at the two of them, "If you didn't say it earlier, why didn't you say it later? When I bring the people to the door, then you two would have blocked our way. What is the meaning of this? You intentionally made life difficult for me, just to make me lose face? "

"This subordinate would not dare." The two guards spoke in a neither humble nor haughty manner, their broadswords still pointed horizontally, showing no intention of moving away. "But I don't dare to disobey Old Master's orders. Please forgive me, Miss."

"Forgive me!" Feng Lingxi pushed aside the guard guarding the door and said angrily, "In any case, I'm definitely going to bring him in today. I'll just ask you two, are you going to let me in or not?"

The two guards were extremely fast and returned to their original positions. They lowered their heads and were pleasing to the eye, but there was no sign of compromise.

"Please forgive me, young mistress!"

"I think all of you really want to have a hard time with me!" With a flick of her wrist, she placed it across the guard's neck. With a cold voice, she asked, "I'll ask you one more time, are you guys going to release him or not?"

"Please forgive me, Miss." The two guards remained steadfast, not moving in the slightest.

"You!" Feng Lingxi was flustered and exasperated. Just as the soft sword in her hand was about to stab forward, Chen Mu Mu hastily extended his hand and grabbed onto Feng Lingxi's wrist.

"Forget it, Ling Xi. Let's come again next time."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "No, I was the one who invited you to my house as guests. How can I let you have a meal? You're too rude!"

Chen Mu Mu smiled, "It's alright. Didn't you say? According to our relationship, there's no need to think so much about it. Anyway, I won't be leaving the capital city for a while, so I still have the chance to visit the General's Estate."

The two guards didn't seem to think that Chen Mu Mu Mu would be so reasonable and reasonable, and couldn't help casting a grateful glance at her.

"But it's too unfair for you." Feng Ling shook her head and was about to say something when Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu interrupted her.

"That's it. Anyway, I have some matters to attend to today. I'll come back and bother you next time."

She made up her mind. Feng Lingxi sighed, "I'll send you out."

"No need, it's right at the mouth of the alley. Big brother and I know our way." Chen Mu Mu waved his hand and rejected. "Didn't you say that your father just returned from a long journey? You must be worried about him, so you should quickly go in and take a look. Don't worry about us, we can just walk around the streets. "

"How can I do that?" Feng Lingxi looked a little hesitant, "You guys aren't familiar with each other, what if you get lost?"

"It's only a long journey, how can we get lost?" Chen Mu Mu shook his head, "There's no need to bother with us. You should head back first."

"No, no matter what, I have to send you guys to the mouth of the alleyway." Feng Lingxi insisted.

Seeing how determined she was, Chen Mu could only nod his head, "Fine, I'll have to trouble you then."

After seeing her and Chen Qingyun to the alley entrance, he apologized and ran off in a hurry.

Chen Qingyun looked at Feng Ling Xi's back as she left hurriedly, and asked hesitantly: "Little sister, do you think something has happened to General Feng?"

Chen Mu Mu was silent for a moment before shaking his head, "Regarding the matters of the general's manor, we should not make wild guesses. Otherwise, we might get into trouble. Let's hurry up and leave."

If her guess was not wrong, something must have happened to Feng Zizai. Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately ordered for people to refuse her presence, and no strangers to enter the restaurant.

The two guards at the door did not seem to be unreasonable people, and they could be considered to have revered Feng Lingxi. If something had not happened, they would not have stopped Feng Lingxi's insistence and swept away her face.

However, she didn't care about Feng Zizai's situation, she just wanted to know that Feng Zizai had returned. But she didn't care about Feng Zizai's situation, she just wanted to know that Feng Zizai had returned.

Chen Qingyun was a little hesitant as he turned his head to look at the general's estate three times and sighed.

Chen Mu cast a sidelong glance at him. "Why? Do you really wish to enter?"

"No, she's in trouble, but I can't help her in any way. I really feel like a cripple." Chen Qingyun said.

"He's indeed a cripple." Chen Mu Mu Mu nodded his head, and spared no effort to strike at his opponent. "Forget about experts, you can't even beat the two guards guarding the entrance just now. How dare you misunderstand Feng Ling Xi?"

Chen Qingyun looked at her grudgingly: "Do you really think there is no possibility of me and Miss Feng being together?"

"If in the following period of time, you're still as useless as before, forget about Feng Lingxi, even her father wouldn't be interested in you." Chen Mu Mu Mu waved her hand with disdain. "It's fine if you can't win. In terms of martial arts and wind and spirit, you can't beat me. You can't compare to me in the essay competition, much less other men."

If he couldn't even compare to a woman, how could he compete with a man?

Chen Qingyun suffered a huge blow, he gouged her out fiercely and walked away with large strides, completely ignoring her.

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't seem to mind as he shrugged his shoulders and followed behind them leisurely, taking the opportunity to admire the local customs and traditions of the capital.

The capital city was very big, and she hadn't finished shopping in the corner even after so long. This was the first time she came to the bustling capital city, so saying that she wasn't curious was fake.

Walking along the roadside stall, she saw a unique mask stall. She curiously grabbed a few and admired them, but Chen Qingyun who was already quite a distance away came back.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mu took off his mask and asked with a smile, "Is there not enough money again?"

Chen Qingyun's face turned red. As a man, he was always short of money. It was a shameful thing for him to extend a hand to a woman.

"No." Shaking his head, he pondered for a moment before pulling Chen Mu aside. "I've met someone I know."

"Qin Tianshui?" Chen Mu Mu asked.

In the capital, this was the only person they knew.

"It's not him." Chen Qingyun looked at her face hesitantly, before replying, "It's Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Li."

Is it them?

The mask in Chen Mu Mu's hands swayed, and he nearly fell to the ground.

She obviously didn't want to see them, nor did she want to bother with any news of them. However, after knowing where they were, she was unable to conceal the excitement in her heart. In the end, she still couldn't deceive herself, so she still cared about them.

He lowered his eyes and took a deep breath before asking, "Where is it?"

Chen Qingyun fixed her with his gaze: "Do you want to go over and recognize them?"

Chen Mu Mu squinted his eyes, staring straight at Chen Qingyun.

Those with big mouths were the easiest to hate.

Chen Qingyun met her gaze and helplessly explained: "Their situation is a little different, don't be rash."

"I know it." Chen Mu Mu was a bit speechless. "Do you think that I'm a child like you, so impulsive that I can't see my own situation and environment?"

Is she a child? He always had a mature and mature appearance, but he was still unable to change the fact of his age.

Just as Chen Qingyun wanted to object to her and meet Chen Mu's sharp eyes, he swallowed the words in his mouth and pointed to the intersection in front of him: "You can see it from there."

Chen Mu replied as he put down the mask in his hands. Then, he hastily ran towards the intersection.

"Mu Mu." Chen Qingyun's tone was filled with hesitation, "In a while, no matter what you see, don't get excited."

Upon hearing those words, Chen Mu Mu Mu only sneered in reply, not responding.

She was already an existence that was akin to an old freak. She might not even be in the mood to get killed and set fire to others in front of her, so what could possibly make her especially excited?

Chen Mu Mu sneered.

After the corner, there was another street. However, this wasn't a business district but a residential area. Just as Chen Mu and Chen Qingyun reached the intersection, they saw a horse carriage slowly pass by them, and then stopped in front of a large scarlet door fifty metres away. On the door plaque, the words "North King Residence" shone brightly.

The horse carriage stopped and two groups of people had already stood by the door. They bowed and greeted, "Welcome back to your residence, Crown Prince and Madam Li."

From Chen Mu Mu's point of view, she could only see the two of them slowly getting off the carriage.

The man was tall and thin, born with a set of clothes and an extraordinary temperament. Just his back made people feel that he was a peerless beauty, making them want to take a peek at his appearance.

The woman was about thirty to forty years old. She was dressed in silk and had several hairpins on her head. Looking from the side, she looked extremely dignified and luxurious.

However, even though he did not see the front face, Chen Mu Mu Mu recognized it immediately. The two people who had just gotten out of the carriage were Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li.

What a big show. A man relied on clothes, horses, and saddles. With just a little dressing, he was unrecognizable.

Chen Mu clenched his fists as he saw a graceful woman walking out from the scarlet door. Smiling, he said, "Crown Prince, Madam Li, you've come. Your highness has been waiting for a long time."
