Uncle Chen got up early in the morning and urged Mu Ting to see the young lady's roster.
Mu Ting pretended to flip through the book of war: "Uncle Chen, I think the book of war is quite interesting."
"Young Master, this matter is quite urgent." Chen Ze took the military book from Mu Ting's hand and handed the young lady's roster to Mu Ting.
The roster opened to a page inadvertently, and it was written about the wife of the Cui family.
"Hey, this Lady Cui is Liao Haohai's cousin Cui Qingqing?" Yao Erlang blurted out.
On the roster, the ladies are listed by name and rank in the family. For example, if the surname is Luo and the third row of the family is Luo Sanniang, she is called Luo Sanniang. The young lady's maiden name has always been known only to the family, not to outsiders. When the young lady is discussing marriage, she will write her maiden name only when she is preparing to write the marriage letter.
Mu Ting stared and asked Yao Erlang: "Ms. Cui on this list is talented and beautiful, has a quiet temperament, and is gentle and virtuous. How is she the same as the fierce Cui Qingqing?"
Yao Erlang chuckled: "Actually, Mrs. Cui is quite beautiful."
Chen Ze also came over to take a look: "It turns out to be Lady Cui, the daughter of Cui Jiancheng of the Imperial Academy."
Mu Ting took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Chen, do you have to choose the wife of an official from the Imperial College? That sounds really troublesome."
"Young Master, this is what the Marquis meant. He has always felt that the Young Master doesn't like to study because the Mu family has been in the military for generations and has no talent for studying. So this time, he will definitely look after the Young Master. A young lady from a scholarly family."
Mu Ting now has a headache when he sees the word "Imperial College". If he reads it too much, it changes shape in front of his eyes and he almost doesn't recognize it anymore.
Chen Ze patiently advised him: "In this battlefield battle, it is necessary to have strong martial arts, but the young master is different from others. The young master has to command the battle. How can he only have martial arts but no strategy?"
Mu Ting certainly knows how to fight on the battlefield, mobilize thousands of troops, and the command and strategy of the coach are crucial.
He said nothing.
Chen Ze was surprised again. When he told the young master these things before, the young master would definitely argue with him, saying that they would be enough for his strategy, and he would just lead the troops to fight.
But since coming to the capital and meeting the young master again, the young master has not said anything.
This person still needs to practice more outside, increase his knowledge, and run into more obstacles before he can listen to good advice.
Chen Ze continued: "If the young master's future wife is well-read in poetry and books, the young master's future children will also have half of the talent for reading..."
Mu Ting said weakly: "What if I don't inherit? Uncle Chen, you know that I have been sleepy when I read a book since I was a child. I would rather run ten miles than read a book..."
"There is nothing wrong with it." Chen Ze's eyes were firm.
Mu Ting still muttered in a low voice: "It's ridiculous to place your hopes on a little lady and the next generation." In fact, he was not very enthusiastic about the position of the crown prince. Although he had hoped to be a divine general since he was a child, No one is perfect. Although he has attainments in martial arts, he is not very clever in strategy. He secretly thought that maybe the position of Marquis Wu of Yanzhou would be replaced.
"What did you say?" Chen Ze didn't hear clearly.
"Young Master, Young Master, it's not good!" Zhu Sanlang came over like a gust of wind.
Qin Xiangxiang got up in the middle of the year, and Zhu Sanlang rushed to the Qin family restaurant at the end of the year to stare at Qin Xiangxiang. What he said was not good, and naturally it was Qin Xiangxiang who was not good.
"How's Mrs. Qin?" Mu Ting stood up suddenly and threw the roster aside in a fair manner.
"Ms. Qin was kidnapped, and my subordinates were about to rescue her. Suddenly, a masked martial arts master appeared and stopped her. The man was strange. He only stopped his subordinates, but did not hurt him. After Mrs. Qin was taken away, the person suddenly disappeared again."
Mu Ting's face darkened: "Where was Madam Qin kidnapped?"
Zhu Sanlang lowered his head: "Subordinate, I lost you."
Mu Ting took a deep breath: "Take me to the place where Mrs. Qin disappeared."
"Slow down." Chen Ze stopped in front of Mu Ting. He didn't want to stop Mu Ting from saving Mrs. Qin.
"My young master is just like a headless fly, aimless and laborious. Young master, you might as well think carefully about the enemies of Mrs. Qin."
Enemy? Mrs. Qin has quite a few enemies...the Zhou family, Aunt Zhong's family, Ma Sizhi, Mrs. Ma, Tianxianglou...
"Wenchang Marquis Song Gongming!" Mu Ting said, "Mrs. Qin has recently exposed the fact that he has many illegitimate children. He is probably very angry."
Zhu Sanlang also believed it: "My subordinates also suspected the same thing, but they searched several of Wenchang Hou's charming houses and found no trace of Mrs. Qin."
"Perhaps it was his old cave, the Mansion of the Marquis of Wenchang." Mu Ting mused, "Mrs. Qin's move angered the Marquis of Wenchang, and also made the Kangde County King feel like he was having trouble." An old woman who had just lost her only son suddenly became ill. Knowing that her husband actually has so many children, I am afraid that she will be angry with Mrs. Qin, and she will join hands with her husband to silence Mrs. Qin who knows the inside story.
Chen Ze looked at Mu Ting in surprise. The young master is actually quite good at analysis.
Seeing that Mu Ting was about to leave, as if he was going to save Madam Qin, Chen Ze quickly said: "Young Master, are you really going to save Madam Qin? She is Qin Guanlan's direct daughter..."
"It is her father who is the enemy of my father, not her. Besides, this is not my first time going to Wenchang Hou Mansion."
Mu Ting dropped this sentence and strode away without looking back.
Counselor Zhu walked in slowly: "The young master can't bear to treat the young lady after all. How about we look at the roster for the young master. Anyway, he has no control over the young master's marriage."
"Yes." Chen Ze nodded. Although being a high-ranking official sounds enviable, every move he makes can easily make the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Leader suspicious, especially someone with a high position and military power like the Marquis. Otherwise, how could the Marquis put his family in such a position? Queen He's natal family?
Every year, the emperor sends countless spies to monitor the marquis.
"Actually, this lady from the Cui family is in good condition." Counselor Zhu said.
Chen Ze also nodded: "The one with the best conditions is indeed the daughter of the Cui family. I heard before I came to the capital that the Cui family is the best at raising daughters. The Liao family is not just marrying a daughter of the Liao family, it is becoming more and more prosperous with each passing day."
…
Mu Ting suddenly sneezed.
He walked so fast that Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang could hardly keep up with him.
He sneezed viciously and slowed down his pace, allowing the two people behind him to follow him.
"I usually practice too little." Mu Ting did not forget to scold the two of them.
Yao Erlang winked at Zhu Sanlang: Look, it's all your fault for missing Mrs. Qin.
Zhu Sanlang didn't dare to say anything.
There is another alley ahead, which is the backyard wall of Wenchanghou Mansion.
Mu Ting took a deep breath and was about to climb up when Zhu Sanlang suddenly pulled him: "Young Master, that man has appeared again."
Mu Ting turned around and saw a man wearing a light green Hufu. His face was completely covered, only a pair of provocative eyes were exposed.
This person is the one who stopped Zhu Sanlang.
Mu Ting stood up straight: "This gentleman, you are aiding the evildoer."
The man didn't say anything, he just extended an index finger towards Mu Ting and then hooked it.
It seemed that this person was determined to stop him. Mu Ting didn't say anything, he just lifted up a corner of his robe and pinned it to his belt. Then he winked at Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang, and they immediately used their hands and feet to climb up the high wall.
The man immediately moved and attacked Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang.
"Your opponent is me!" Mu Ting shouted in a deep voice, flew up his long legs, and stopped the gangster. According to Zhu Sanlang's description, Mrs. Qin's situation was very dangerous. If they were late, the consequences would be disastrous.
He must go all out to deal with this person quickly!
