When she saw the edge of the dock, Mu Yunyao stopped and turned around to look at the six liang that she had just bought.
It was winter, and he wasn't even wearing his shoes. The rope on his feet was only enough for him to take small steps, and because he had worn it too tight to his ankles, there was blood flowing out. The rope was dyed red as he walked: "Liu, you wait here, don't move, understand?"
Mu Yunyao didn't give a damn as well. This person was the same as the Prince Jin, always remaining silent and ice-cold. Back then, when Prince Jin had brought him out, many people had ridiculed him, saying that he had a good temperament and even his subordinates had such character. It was only when he displayed an astonishing sword technique that everyone's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Not long after, Mu Yunyao laboriously walked out with a longsword in her arms. His six pairs of eyes, which had remained calm the entire time, finally showed some changes. It was as if a speck of green had emerged from the desolate wasteland.
Mu Yunyao pulled out her long sword and gestured at it, "Stand still and don't move. I'll cut the rope for you." She raised her sword. She thought it would be easy, but the tip of the sword was constantly shaking.
Six taels of tied hands rubbed against the sword's tip. It was so fast that Mu Yunyao didn't even notice his movements when she saw the rope open. With two of his fingers clamping onto the longsword, Mu Yunyao felt a tug on her hand and the longsword left her hands. He cut the rope at his feet as well and used his clothes to wipe the sword clean before returning it to its sheath and hugging it.
This skill … Six taels of silver was worth it.
Mu Yunyao was satisfied in her heart, so she went to the clothing store to help buy clothes and shoes before bringing him to the inn.
"Six taels, from today onwards, I will be your master. You must follow my orders, do you understand?"
The six of them were silent as they followed behind.
Mu Yunyao's face turned cold and she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at him coldly and solemnly, "Don't be silent, I know you know how to speak."
After a long while, he nodded his head, "Yes."
Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed. It seemed like she had guessed correctly. This person really knew how to speak. In front of Prince Jin, he had never once said a word.
After returning to the inn, she immediately had the waiter open another room and had him clean himself and change his clothes. Otherwise, if he went out like this, he would definitely frighten his mother.
The waiter looked dazed. This little beggar had brought back a large beggar and was even giving money to stay in the inn. Since when was the new year so good that even beggars could live in a store with only two taels of silver?
Mu Yunyao first told Su Qing about the origin of the six taels of silver. She directly bought him to be her guard, protecting the two of them as they made their way safely to Jiangnan.
However, Su Qing couldn't stop herself from worrying, "Although what you say is true, but we are both women, and he is just a man … …"
Mother, don't worry about him. From now on, I will make a lot of money and make you the wife of a rich family. Look at those people, which one of them isn't a servant, maid, or bodyguard?
"Hehe, that's great. Mother will be waiting for me to enjoy my blessings."
Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes and let the waiter bring her the food she had ordered. She had a hearty meal with Su Qing and spoke nonchalantly. Su Qing didn't ask for six liang and Mu Yunyao didn't say anything.
The next day, Mu Yunyao finished washing the peach pink dress she'd just bought and knocked on the door.
When Mu Yunyao opened the door, she heard the sound of footsteps. As a result, when the door was knocked, it directly opened. Looking at Mu Yunyao who was dressed in a woman's attire, the six pairs of empty eyes abruptly shrunk. The one who had arrogantly bought her yesterday was actually a delicate and pretty girl?
Mu Yunyao looked at the handsome youth in front of her with a deep expression, but wasn't too surprised. There was a red scar on his left cheek, but his right cheek was exceptionally handsome when he saw the six taels of silver. His eyes, in particular, had a darker outline than an average person's.
"Six taels of silver. I want to rent a passenger ship to Jiangnan Ziling City. The main thing is to be honest and reliable. Do you understand?" As Mu Yunyao spoke, she passed over a stack of silver bills.
After a moment of silence, he took the banknotes and went downstairs.
Mu Yunyao looked at his back, her eyes cold and indifferent. Previously, when he was loyal to Prince Jin, it did not mean that he would give up his loyalty to him. This time, by giving him so much money to go about his business, he was also planning to test himself to see if he would take the money with him and never return.
He waited for six hours and waited until the sky turned dark before he knocked on the door with a gust of cold wind.
Mu Yunyao's eyes carried a trace of splendor, causing her clear eyes to seem to be covered with the color of billowing water. She became more and more eye-catching. "You've already agreed on it?"
Six taels of silver will be signed and the written agreement will be brought over, along with the remaining banknotes and some scattered silver.
Mu Yunyao looked at the silver taels on the book and slightly paused for a moment. "You've been out for such a long time, yet you haven't bought anything to eat?"
The rest of the silver coins and the sum in the book were exactly the amount that she had given him. The big and silly guy in front of her, he shouldn't have been hungry all day, right?
Although she didn't say anything, Mu Yunyao could feel his unnatural stiffness from the way he was holding the longsword. "Go back to your room first."
Seeing that they had returned without a word, Mu Yunyao went downstairs to call the waiter. Fortunately, it wasn't too late yet, and the inn even provided food. After ordering some food, she had the waiter run over to the store and buy some Golden Sore Medicine. Mu Yunyao sent someone to a room worth six taels of silver.
If nothing unexpected happened, in the long run, six silvers would be her greatest help, so she would do everything she could to bribe his heart.
In the room next door, Mu Yunyao stared at the dishes and medicine bottles in a daze for a long time. After a long time, she used her chopsticks to eat all the food, carefully took the medicine bottles into her bosom, hugged her longsword, and fell asleep on her bed.
The next day, Mu Yunyao held onto Su Qing's arm as they left with six taels of silver behind them. Early in the morning, they boarded a passenger boat heading to Jiangnan.
She had spent money to rent this entire ship, so the two boatmen were especially respectful. When they saw the six liang, their faces showed a trace of fear.
Mu Yunyao was a little confused, but didn't ask any stupid questions. She only smiled as she accompanied Su Qing into the cabin.
With a loud and clear cry, the boat shook slightly and broke through the water surface, heading towards the south.
Su Qing held onto Mu Yunyao's hand, her face slightly pale.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly took out the sour plum that she had prepared earlier and shoved one of them to her. "Mother, are you feeling better?"
As the boat settled down, Su Qing nodded, "It's fine. This is my first time traveling by boat. I'm not used to it. I'll be fine in a moment."
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, "It's also because of my negligence, I should have confirmed whether or not my mother is seasick. Fortunately, your reaction wasn't too big, otherwise, I would have had to think of a way to continue my journey."
"Mother isn't so pampered." Su Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In this period of time, it was as if her daughter had grown up overnight. Her speech was calm and orderly.
