Chapter 10 Rewards cannot be accepted
The carriage continued to drive towards the Nanjing Hou Mansion, but the carriage became quiet.
Murong Qing glanced at Pei Mo from time to time. Although she and Pei Mo were not familiar with each other, she always felt that after Pei Mo said "Second Prince", he had an aura of not being near strangers.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too oppressive, and Murong Qingqing had nothing to do, so he raised the curtains. Seeing that he had not yet arrived at the Nanjing Marquis Mansion, he muttered in a low voice: "This carriage is really slow. It would be better to go on horseback, it will be faster."
Pei Mo looked at her side face with dark eyes, and the rising figure on the racecourse flashed in his mind, and a smile appeared: "My lady is riding a horse, as good as a man."
"How do you know?" Murong Qing blurted out and looked at him suspiciously: "Did you send someone to check me?"
Otherwise, how would we know that she can ride a horse better than a man?
But before Pei Mo could respond, a familiar voice sounded outside: "General! General!"
It's Liu Shen's voice!
Pei Mo immediately frowned and shouted sternly: "Stop the car."
The groom quickly reined in the reins, and Liu Shen also rode up to catch up.
Pei Mo and Murong Qing came out of the carriage one after the other.
Liu Shen glanced at Murong Qing and then looked at Pei Mo: "General, we are back. The situation is not good. General, please go take a look first."
His Majesty's reward has been delivered to the General's Mansion, and he also knew that Pei Mo was going to the Marquis' Mansion in the South.
But when he thought about the situation of those who came back, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Pei Mo go back first.
As for Nanjing Hou Mansion, we can only go there later!
Pei Mo's hands behind his back suddenly clenched into fists, and he turned to look at Murong Qing: "Madam, go to the Hou Mansion first. My husband will arrive in an hour at the latest."
Although Murong Qing didn't know what happened, he naturally guessed that something was unusual in the current situation.
She nodded slightly: "If you have anything to do, go ahead and take care of yourself. I can go to the Marquis Mansion alone."
Anyway, it was just a transaction between her and Pei Mo. Whether Pei Mo went to the Hou Mansion or not was not important to her.
Naturally, he would not force Pei Mo to go.
Pei Mo turned to look at Liu Shen: "Where is he?"
"Both Butler Zhao and Granny Zhang are guarding the firewood shed in the backyard of the General's Mansion. Mr. Li has gone to see it, but..."
Liu Shen finished explaining the whole situation, but when he got to Li Langzhong, he paused.
Something is obviously wrong!
He glanced at Murong Qing, but he didn't care much. Anyway, he had already said so much before, and he didn't care to say a few more words: "General, he doesn't want to tell others, and he is holding on to wait for the general to return."
"You go to the Marquis Mansion with your wife, and we will go back first."
"Come here, prepare your horses! Send me back home."
A group of well-trained soldiers pulled out a special horse. The saddle on the horse's back was fully protected, and even a weak person could easily control it.
After a few breaths, the group of soldiers galloped away like silver dragons.
Although I had already noticed yesterday that she had "emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again", it was only now that she could confirm it.
Although I still don’t know what Pei Mo is hiding, it is definitely not a trivial matter!
Murong Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Shen beside him: "It seems that your general's mansion has a lot of things going on."
Liu Shen cupped his hands and responded: "The princess is now the general's wife, so she can no longer say 'your general's house'. Both my subordinates and my wife are members of the general's house."
He deliberately said the words "Your General's Mansion" more clearly, and also deliberately reminded Murong Qing of his relationship with the General's Mansion.
Murong Qing had nothing to say. It was hard to tell Liu Shen that she and Pei Mo were just doing business, so she responded coldly: "I've written it down. Let's go to the Hou Mansion."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.
Since Liu Shen wanted to follow, he could only sit outside the carriage with the groom. Ping'er followed Murong Qing into the carriage.
Not long after they arrived at the Nanjing Hou Mansion, several people got off the carriage and walked inside.
"Qing'er is back!" As soon as Murong Xiao picked up the tea on the table, he saw Murong Qing walking towards the main room.
Several people in the house got up and walked outside.
"Father, queen, eldest brother, second brother, third brother!"
Murong Qing called his family members one by one and smiled at several of them.
The wedding was in a hurry yesterday and I didn't have time to say a few words to my family. Now that I'm back, I'm really happy.
It’s a pity that I can’t stay with my family for a long time!
Murong Tai, the third son of the Hou family, said carelessly: "I just married you yesterday, and you came back today. It will take three days for the other girls to come home. Could it be that you were driven back by General Pei?"
As if begging for a beating, the old princess immediately raised her hand and hit him on the back of the head.
"You kid, why are you talking to your sister?"
Murong Qing and Murong Tai are only one year apart. They always like to quarrel, but their relationship is still very good.
Parents have never stopped them in the past and let them go on making noises.
But now Murong Qing was married to the General's Mansion by mistake, and he was not married to the one he loved. He must be in a bad mood, but who would have thought that this kid didn't know how to stimulate Murong Qing to life and death, he really didn't have the eyesight.
Murong Tai rubbed the back of his head and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I usually talk to her like this, and it's not like my mother doesn't know."
When the old princess was about to say a few words of instruction, Murong Xiao took the lead and said, "Qing'er, how about asking your third brother to perform a juggling act for you to add to the fun?"
Everyone wants to punish Murong Tai again!
Murong Qing looked at his family members and joked around, feeling happy before it was too late, so he didn't care about Murong Tai. Anyway, he was just joking with her and teasing her.
"No, no, no, third brother has always been like this, and I haven't been arguing with him for a day or two."
Murong Qing raised her feet and walked into the house, then looked back at Ping'er: "Ping'er, hurry up and get me a glass of water. I entered the palace early in the morning and didn't even take a sip of the tea. I felt thirsty on the way. I was so thirsty that my throat was straight.
smoke!"
While talking, I saw the imperial edict and military talismans on the table, but I didn't expect them to be delivered very quickly.
But I still have to find a way to get back!
Ping'er hurriedly went to pour tea for Murong Qing.
Liu Shen, who was still standing at the door, raised his hands and said: "See you, Lord Marquis, Princess, and all the generals! My general is in an emergency and will be here in an hour at the latest. I also hope that Haihan will come!"
The King of Southern Territory smiled and said: "No problem, come in and have a cup of tea."
"I don't dare!" Liu Shen refused and took another step back: "I am the general's bodyguard, how dare you enter the Marquis' Mansion in the South to drink tea!"
The King of Nanjing clicked his tongue: "Nanjing Hou Mansion does not have many rules like this. Besides, I and General Pei are both martial arts practitioners. Since you are his bodyguard, you don't have to be restrained when you come here."
Murong Qing also followed up and said: "Speaking of which, your general and I have fought side by side. Since you are his bodyguard, you don't have to be so polite. Come in."
The Hou family members made repeated requests, but Liu Shen could not refuse anymore, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
Everyone entered the room. After Murong Qing drank tea, he went to sit next to the King of the South Kingdom: "Father, this military talisman and your official position as the King of the South Kingdom cannot be accepted. You must return it..."
She was afraid that she would forget what Pei Mo said, so she repeated Pei Mo's words all over again.
He even said that he would exchange military symbols for wine!
Several people in the room had different expressions. Some looked at her with admiration, while others looked at her with suspicion.
The King of the South asked her suspiciously: "Isn't General Pei teaching you this method?"
He knew his own daughter well, and he would never be able to think of such a way to achieve both ends.
But I have to say that this method is indeed feasible!
