Really or not, while Mu Hanqing was still struggling in his heart, Marquis Zhongyong's words completely convinced him.
Marquis Zhongyong said: "In ancient times, Xi Shi deceived the King of Wu, and Diao Chan alienated Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Which one is not loyal to the king and patriotic?"
Mu Hanqing was furious in his heart: "Those are all women, and my son is a decent man. Could it be that his father would ruin his life by recruiting a black tiger village? Let the Zhongyong Hou Mansion welcome a bandit." My mistress, the general’s descendants will all be born to bandits?”
Marquis Zhongyong frowned, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Mu Hanqing was so angry that he almost ignited himself: "Isn't it just a bandit den? I'm going to see His Majesty this time and request an order to lead 30,000 troops and destroy this Black Tiger Village!"
"Pa~!" A slap in the face made Mu Hanqing's eyes darken and his heart suddenly went cold.
"What do you know, they..." Zhongyonghou pointed at him with trembling fingers, as if he was too angry to speak.
Mu Hanqing was stunned and looked at his father whose chest was heaving with anger. He had never calmed down since he was a child, and Marquis Zhongyong also punished him severely, always forcing him to lie in bed for at least a day. But this was the first time he had been slapped loudly, because according to his father's words, he was the prince of Zhongyong Hou, and his face was also the face of Zhongyong Hou. He could be punished, and he should be punished if he made mistakes, but his face must not be ruined.
Marquis Zhongyong paused and then cursed: "They saved your life. If it weren't for them, you would have perished long ago. If you didn't marry Zhao Fuling, I wouldn't have an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust son like you." !”
Mu Hanqing put down the hand covering his face, backed away slowly, then turned around suddenly, ignoring his father calling him from behind, and rushed out of the room and into the courtyard of the post house.
I saw Liang Cheng and his two followers feeding their horses. War horses in the army are not only mounts, but also important as weapons. Therefore, I will feed the fodder myself and will not let others do it. It's like wiping your own weapons.
When Liang Cheng saw the prince rushing over to untie the reins, he quickly asked: "Master, where are you going?"
"Walk the horse!" Mu Hanqing said angrily, his face burning from the beating. What's wrong with walking a horse? His father doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him by Black Tiger Village, forcing him to marry Zhao Fuling. Now I just want to ride overnight to the capital and enter the palace to find His Majesty's decision.
Liang Cheng saw that something was wrong and persuaded him nicely: "Master, it's better not to ride anymore. The horses have been tired for a day, so let them rest."
A gust of night wind blew, which made Mu Hanqing calm down a little, but he still untied the reins: "I'll just go around for a while."
Liang Cheng couldn't stop him, so he quickly untied one and followed.
Fortunately, the moon is full tonight and the road is flat after leaving the mountain. So Mu Hanqing galloped all the way without any accidents. Even so, Liang Cheng followed with fear.
When they reached a place, Mu Hanqing tightened the reins suddenly, and the horse neighed. His head was turned around by the reins, he raised his hooves, put them down, and stopped. This shocked Liang Cheng again.
Mu Hanqing dismounted, ran to the side, raised the whip in his hand and whipped the weeds that were half a man tall. While pumping, he cursed Black Tiger Village and Zhao Fuling.
One of the prince's cheeks was red and swollen, and he looked like this again. Liang Cheng guessed most of it. Poor prince, no one would be happy to marry a female bandit when it was his turn.
When Mu Hanqing was tired and sweating as much as a war horse, and stopped panting, Liang Cheng pulled the horse forward.
"Master, let's go back."
I don't want to go back, and I don't want to be a prince. I just want to be alone and wander around the world from now on.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. After he left, his father and His Majesty had to dig three feet into the ground to find him. Maybe Black Tiger Village will try their best to find him who dared to "escape from marriage".
Mu Hanqing felt very tired, held on to the big tree beside him, lowered his head and asked: "Liang Cheng, if you were the heir apparent, would you be willing to marry someone you don't like for the sake of the Hou family?"
Sure enough, it was still Zhao Fuling's business. Liang Cheng thought for a while: "Master, the young one must be a heir first. But the young one was born as a slave, how can he have such a good life!"
Yes, he was the only son of Marquis Zhongyong. His mother died of illness after giving birth to him. In addition to practicing martial arts and studying since childhood, he also had a father who was strict with him. Everyone in the family pampered him, fearing that he would make any mistakes.
Externally, he is the pride and the center of attention. Apart from his father, there is no other prince in Nanchui. The status and treatment of Zhongyong Hou are the same as those of princes.
His voice was low and hoarse: "If you have to marry someone you don't like in order to become the heir, are you willing?"
"Well..." Liang Cheng thought about it seriously: "Master, if that's the case, don't say you don't like her. Even if she's a sow, I'm willing to marry her."
Mu Hanqing's shoulders shook and he almost lost his strength. Forget it, I have a different idea, asking is in vain.
Liang Cheng persuaded: "Sir, marriage is the order of the parents. How can it be as satisfactory as the Marquis? Isn't the same true for the old Marquis? So what if she marries Zhao Fuling? She is in the courtyard of the house, and she is afraid that she will fall into trouble. God? After waiting for three to five years, if you have no heirs according to the seven-year rule, just divorce. Seeing that she saved your life, then divorce her and find another good marriage for her. Black Huzhai is quite rich, and those princes have settled down, and you will definitely agree because of the money. Everyone knows how they will choose between the prince's wife and the county princess, and she is not stupid. "
Mu Hanqing's eyes lit up. By then, Black Tiger Village had become a loyal and brave army. It would not be difficult to find a bastard among the princes' sons for your Majesty to make a small county king. Zhao Fuling became the county princess, and everyone was happy.
He touched his swollen face with his hand and felt a little regretful. Why did he make such a fuss? After all, he was still too young and acted too impulsively. He didn't consider this kind of plan.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanqing calmed down and mounted his horse to go back.
Liang Cheng didn't know if he was wrong, so he continued to follow. Seeing the prince running all the way, he walked back slowly and leisurely, with his ponytail waving back and forth from time to time. It seemed that his anger had subsided. Well, I guess I said the right thing, so I felt relieved.
In the house, Marquis Zhongyong learned that Mu Hanqing, who had gone out on horseback, had returned safely. He waited until Liang Cheng fetched water and the lights in the house were turned off before resting.
When we set out the next day, we saw that one side of Mu Hanqing's face turned from red to purple, and it would take about three to five days to completely disappear. He secretly regretted that he was a military commander and had great strength, so he struck too hard.
During lunch, I tied my son to pick up vegetables. Mu Hanqing didn't refuse, and even helped him pick up the food, as if nothing had happened.
I found an opportunity in the evening and called the secret guards to come over for questioning. However, I almost jumped up when I heard what Liang Cheng said last night.
Then he quickly suppressed his anger and sighed.
After the secret guard exited, he couldn't help but think to himself that it was normal for the prince to behave like this. The noble family was willing to be talked about marrying a female bandit when they went out, let alone the prince who wanted to inherit the title.
