Seeing Su Mu's unbelievable look, Liu Xiaoran roughly explained the origin of the name: "He has always looked like this in the army, and he always smiles at everyone, but he is just such a person.No one in the army dares to disobey his orders."

"He is clear about rewards and punishments, he is merciless in dealing with opponents, and he has a measure of advance and retreat. Even in the court, he still has a pivotal position. In the past, it seemed that someone questioned his ability because of his figure, and the end was not very good."

Su Mu's heart tightened, it sounded like the other party was a cruel and difficult person.

Liu Xiaoran saw that Su Mu really showed a dignified expression, she took a sip of her tea, and then continued, "That man is most afraid of ghosts and gods, and this Mu Rongyang blocks him every day on his way home, and every day one incident is related.The story of the gods and monsters was told for three months."

"Ah?" Su Mu had just sketched out a cruel and mercenary image in his mind, when Liu Xiaoran's second half of the words completely disturbed him.

"He wanted to avoid Mu Rongyang at first, but no matter which way he chose, Mu Rongyang could always judge accurately, and then blocked people at the intersection, so he had to go with them. I heard that the person went home laterI had nightmares every day, and the next day I didn't have much energy to turn my head up. Later, when it got to the point where someone had to be around to fall asleep, Mu Rongyang stopped." Liu Xiaoran put down the cup leisurely, "Being able to accurately read people's hearts,Judging the opponent's movement and directly attacking the opponent's weakness, he really played to the extreme, whether in battle or on weekdays."

Although Su Mu didn't know what to comment on this, he still nodded.

It turns out that the ancients used such simple and unpretentious ways to retaliate against others.

"Then shall we go directly to find him?" He sized up the people around Mu Rongyang, and it seemed that none of them were easy to get along with.The popularity of official circles in Capital City is reasonable, "It seems a bit inconvenient."

Liu Xiaoran also thought the same way. She thought that opportunities could always be found during the banquet, but she never expected to underestimate Mu Rongyang's current status. There are so many people coming and going, including many from the Prince's faction and King Ning's faction.People, if it is passed on by others, it will be really alarming.

"Hey, I figured it out." Su Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he leaned in front of Liu Xiaoran and said, "Just now you said that he is good at guessing people's hearts and can tell which way others are going, so can we follow suit? GuessGuess how he will return home in the end?"

"It has been snowing in the middle of the capital for the past few days, and it's quite inconvenient for the carriage to travel, and you can see that the bottom of his clothes is dark, and there are water stains under the stool, most likely because of the snowy weather."

Liu Xiaoran nodded when she heard the words, and continued with Su Mu's words: "Murong Mansion should be in Pingkangfang, there should be three roads from here, one of which goes through Dongshi and goes south two alleys, and there are two other alleys.Go south and cross a street, then fork into Yongjiafang, or pass through Xuanpingfang and go straight back to Pingkangfang.”

Su Mu turned his head, flicked the dumpling soup on his plate, and denied the first way at first.

"The East Market is now full of merchants who are buying new year's goods. It is extremely difficult to get around in the hustle and bustle. If there is no absolute shortcut, people like Mu Rongyang who don't need to buy things by themselves should not go here."

"That's the remaining two—"

"I guess, he will choose to go to Yongjiafang first."

Liu Xiaoran was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Su Mu, who was squinting his eyes and swallowing the balls in the bowl, smacked them for a while, and then swallowed, before explaining: "Look, he just tasted it several times.The frequency of pastries on the table is higher than other dishes."

Liu Xiaoran turned her head and glanced, and it was indeed as Su Mu said, that Mu Rongyang was eating a plate of rice cakes right now.

"An adult stuffed something for Mu Rongyang just now. It's a longevity lock." Su Mu scooped up another bowl of dumplings for himself, and the soft and sweet taste really surprised him, "Generally speaking, Longevity locks are for children, right? Is there someone new in General Murong's residence?"

Liu Xiaoran thought about it for a while, and nodded hesitantly. Although she didn't remember it clearly, she seemed to have heard that there was a wedding banquet held at Murong Mansion last year. Considering Mu Rongyang's age, it should be time for her to have children.

"That's right. Although he tasted so many pastries, he didn't finish every one of them. He put them down after taking a few bites. But judging by his expression, he didn't think it was delicious. Of course, he couldn't rule out the pastries.It’s always possible to look like that, so I think, a person who has eaten so many kinds of pastries, but he is not a person who likes to eat pastries, is probably trying them for the children at home.”

Su Mu looked at Liu Xiaoran with an inscrutable expression: "There are many famous pastry shops in Yongjiafang, here, this rice cake and that shortbread are the signs of that shop.There's also the word shop." He picked up a piece and handed it to Liu Xiaoran, "See it?"

"So, he will drop by to buy some pastries to take home?" Liu Xiaoran's eyes were full of surprise after hearing what Su Mu said, but she had to admit that Su Mu's speculation was well-founded.It's worth a try.

"However, when did you know the location of so many dim sum shops?"

"Ah?" Su Mu paused, and Liu Xiaoran's half-smile made him think of the dean's expression when he was caught stealing food from the kitchen in the orphanage, "Just, two days agoHe Chenchu went out for a walk."

Although there was no change in Liu Xiaoran's expression, when she looked down at the other party, Su Mu subconsciously began to explain: "It's not that he has been busy looking for clues about those girls these days, in those—Cough cough, I am used to eating those cakes in the brothel, and I have been thinking about them very much, so I dragged me to look for them, and I can also inquire about some news by the way..."

Liu Xiaoran raised her eyes: "Well, it's okay."

Su Mu looked suspiciously at Liu Xiaoran's appearance. He really felt that the other party didn't seem to care about it. It seems that fishing during working hours is really a big taboo. Does this count as selling Lu Lingjue?Liu Xiaoran wouldn't want to fix him, would she?

In order to give the poor child a hand, Su Mu thought for a while and said, "Well, I only went out for a day, and I testify that Chen Chu is really investigating the case."

Liu Xiaoran nodded obediently: "I believe."

real?

Su Mu took a few more glances, but he really couldn't figure it out. Although Liu Xiaoran did not appear to be angry, he felt that it was always chilly around him.

Illusion, must be illusion.

He suppressed this strange feeling, and quickly scooped up another spoonful of dumpling soup.

This soup is really delicious.

Except for Jin Chong, who was still nagging from time to time at the banquet, everything else was logical. When they got out of the mansion smoothly, they walked directly towards Yongjiafang. The snow on the road had not completely melted.On the small road at the junction of the two workshops, the hem of the clothes of the two of them was also wet a lot.

Su Mu stomped his feet, shook off some of the snow on his boots, and jumped up with his hands in his hands.

It can be regarded as a warm-up exercise, and he did feel a little warmer, but maybe he just jumped a little too hard, and when he stopped, he felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes, and shook his head to shake off the heavy weight.film.

When Mu Rongyang came to buy pastries in a hurry, he had just reported the type he wanted, when suddenly there were two figures beside him.

"General Murong." Liu Xiaoran and Su Mu saluted together.

Mu Rongyang has seen Liu Xiaoran, but not Su Mu, even so, after staring at Su Mu for a while, he still recognized Su Mu's identity.

"Liu Shaoqing, Su Xiao Marquis?"

Su Mu was also quite surprised that Mu Rongyang recognized him. Fortunately, Mu Rongyang used a questioning tone instead of affirmation, which also saved him from worrying that he would be betrayed.

Seeing that Su Mu didn't deny it, Mu Rongyang laughed. He was still brilliant, which made people feel a little less defensive: "Sure enough, it's Lord Su. You really look like Marquis Anding."

Su Mu was no stranger to others saying that he was similar to Su Yi, so he bowed slightly and smiled politely.

Mu Rongyang knew that the two must have something to look for him, so he kindly sent away the guards who followed him, and found someone to wait for the cakes for him, while he took Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran out for a walk,He found a clean place, and asked directly: "The two of you didn't come here by chance, you may as well just tell me if you have anything to say."

Mu Rongyang looks no different from Su Mu's peers, and even looks younger because of his thinner figure than them, but it is undeniable that this person's aura is still very restrained and powerful, evenThere is a kind look on the surface, but it still makes people unable to take it lightly.

Hearing this, Su Mu stopped circling around and asked, "General Murong led his troops to conquer the Huns a few months ago. I wonder if you noticed anything unusual?"

Mu Rongyang narrowed his eyes, as if he was considering the meaning of Su Mu's words. After a while, he replied with a smile: "I haven't found anything unusual. Those Turkic remnants are just dying, and they hardly need us."The army was already defeated after attacking, and this battle is a rare and easy one. I don’t know... what abnormality are you two referring to?"

His expression was full of amusement, Su Mu knew that he must have something to hide, he was just waiting for Su Mu and the others to speak first.

Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran looked at each other for a moment, and silently made up their minds, since they want to investigate, there must be some risky time.

"May I ask General Murong, is there anything unusual in the military equipment?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Rongyang slightly put away the smile on his face, and after a long time, he opened his mouth slowly.

"I think I know what you're talking about."
