Ever since Li Muyang and Gao Dafu split the bag of gold coins, Gao Dafu's attitude towards Li Muyang had changed greatly. In the past there was a condescending feeling of a big brother taking care of his little brother, but now there was a sense of submission that followed Li Muyang's lead and deliberately lowered his status.
The charm of money was great. He realized that ever since this "Dog Huang" arrived, he had received more money than he had received in the past few years.
Not to mention the generous reward from the Cui family's young lady, the amount of gold that the handsome and noble young master gave him was far more than the years of savings he had earned from working in the silk shop. In a few days, he was going to marry the prettiest girl in the village. This money was enough for him to hold a grand wedding.
When Li Muyang swept the floor, he immediately snatched the broom from Li Muyang's hands and said, "Let me do it, let me do it, how can you do this kind of dirty work yourself?" When Li Muyang climbed up and down to move the cloth, he also quickly stopped Li Muyang and said, "Let me do it, let me do it, how can I trouble you with such a dangerous task?"
When Li Muyang was resting, he actually brewed a cup of tea for Li Muyang and said, "Let me do it, let me do it, how can I trouble you with such a dangerous task?" He even bought Xu Ji's braised chicken legs to add to Li Muyang's meal a few times.
Li Muyang rejected him a few times, but he still went his own way and expressed his gratitude with a simple and persistent attitude.
This caused Chen Gou Dan to be unable to put up with it. He said mockingly, "Gao Dafu, are you treating Huang Er Gou as your master? You're not even this attentive to Boss or Manager Mo. "
Gao Dafu smiled honestly and said, "I just feel that I hit it off with Brother Dog … How about, you learn from him?"
Of course, Chen Gou Dan wouldn't serve Li Muyang like this, nor would he buy braised chicken legs for Li Muyang. After all, because of his bad name, he never had the chance to follow Li Muyang to receive rewards from other families.
"I'm not as spineless as you. You're just like a little slave. "Chen Goudan said snappily.
"Hehe, you don't understand." Gao Dafu didn't want to waste his breath on Chen Gou Dan. How could this be more important than the gold coins in his waist pouch? He smiled as he walked to Li Muyang's side, who was arranging the satin, and asked softly, "Do you know about the ogres?"
"Ogres?" Li Muyang was stunned. "What ogres?"
"Hey, I knew you didn't know … You just came to Tiandu, there are many things you don't understand. Recently, a very powerful ogre appeared in the vicinity of Tiandu, specializing in sucking the brains of boys and adult able-bodied men … It was said that many villages nearby had been eaten by him. Tsk, tsk, tsk. How pitiful … "
Li Muyang understood. He was talking about the black-robed man robbing boys when he first arrived in Tiandu. Thus, he pretended to be very curious and asked aloud, "There's actually such a thing … Doesn't the government do anything under the walls of the Imperial City?"
"Whatever. How could they not do anything? Every time the government ran over, the ogre had already eaten the people clean and ran away … The village was clean, apart from the people, everything else was fine. "
"Do you know who did it?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
"I didn't know before. But today I heard a piece of news … "
Hearing Gao Dafu talk about the most popular ogre incident in Tiandu, Chen Gou Dan couldn't help but lean closer to listen, even though he didn't like Gao Dafu's servant style.
Even Steward Mo, who was calculating the accounts on the counter, slowed down his movement of fiddling with his beads, and tilted his ears to listen to the latest developments in the ogre incident.
"What news?" Li Muyang's perfect question fully satisfied Gao Dafu's desire to show off. His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "It's said that the ogre is a dragon."
"What?" Li Muyang's eyes widened.
"It's that dragon." Gao Dafu said softly. "The little dragon that appeared in Tiandu before … But you definitely don't know about this. After all, you hadn't come to Tiandu at that time. Do you know? The Lu Family had a child that was raised outside, and it turned out to be a dragon … Oh, that year he caused chaos in Tiandu. Fortunately, Old Immortal Song personally dealt with him. "
"I thought that after that incident, the dragon would become more well-behaved. I didn't expect that he would take revenge and sneak back to eat the hearts and brains of the people of Tiandu … "
"How do you know … it's that dragon?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
"That's what everyone says — —" Gao Dafu yelled at the top of his voice. Li Muyang's distrust made him very angry. "I have a relative who works at the Yamen, it is said that they are trying to catch the dragon."
"…"
Li Muyang understood that this was the Song enterprise's counterattack against him.
Anyway, in the eyes of the people of Tiandu, the dragon clan was ugly, evil, and a monster that liked to eat people's hearts and brains.
Li Muyang imagined the pile of side dishes in front of him. There were fried hearts, sliced liver, and steamed brains. His stomach twitched in disgust, and he almost threw up the noodle soup he ate last night …
"The dragon clan doesn't necessarily like to eat people's hearts, livers, and brains, right?" Li Muyang said weakly.
"You don't understand this kind of thing." Gao Dafu said with an experienced look, "Think about it, that dragon can fly in the sky, can enter the sea, and his ability is extraordinary. What delicacies has he not eaten before? After eating for a long time, won't you get tired of it? If you eat fish and meat every day, won't you get tired of it? "
"… Yes."
"Isn't that enough? That dragon has eaten too many delicacies, he must have gotten tired of it. Therefore, he began to eat human hearts and livers … It is said that these things are the most nourishing, and can even help him increase his power. "
"… Then he can also be a vegetarian." Li Muyang argued for the dragon clan in a low voice.
"How can the dragon clan be a vegetarian?" This time, even Chen Goudan couldn't bear to listen and said, "How can a beast that is used to eating meat like a vegetarian? Have you seen a tiger that eats grass? "
Li Muyang shook his head again and said, "No."
"So, it must be the work of that evil dragon …" Chen Gou Dan concluded with an extremely confident look. "When the ogre incident first came out, I suspected that it was that evil dragon. Think about it, who else could it be other than him? However, at that time, I thought that the evil dragon would not dare to come back to do evil after being beaten by Old Immortal Song … I didn't expect him to be so bold. "
"… That's really stupid." Li Muyang was quite speechless at his companions around him.
"Isn't it? That's really stupid. If that dragon is smart, it will find a place to hide itself. Don't let our Old Immortal Song find it. Otherwise, he would be in for a hard time. If Old Immortal Song saw him, he would probably skin him alive and pull out his tendons. "
"Of course." Gao Dafu nodded. "Old Immortal Song must have known about this long ago and must have had a way to deal with it. I pity those poor people who were eaten by the evil dragon. If they die, then so be it. Even their corpses can't be found … "
"…"
Gao Dafu turned and saw Li Muyang's strange expression. He asked curiously, "Ergou, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
"I'm fine." Li Muyang shook his head and said, "I was just thinking … If there was a pile of hearts and livers in front of me, I would have vomited."
"What are you thinking? You're not that evil dragon … "Gao Dafu said with a smile. He patted Li Muyang's shoulder and said, "Don't talk about eating people's hearts and livers. Even if I asked you to kill a chicken, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to do it, right?"
"Yes." Li Muyang nodded. "I really don't dare to kill."
"I knew it. Look at your sickly appearance. "Gao Dafu smiled very happily.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you lying there and talking nonsense instead of doing work? " Hong Xiu, who was disguised as the lady boss, swayed her sexy waist and walked out. She said angrily, "Did I raise you guys to tell ghost stories here? Huang Ergou, did you start it again? How many times have I told you? Since you're here, you have to work hard. Otherwise, go back to your hometown. When you go back, tell your mother that it's not that I don't want you, it's that you're lazy. I can't afford to raise such a person … "
Gao Dafu and Chen Goudan hurriedly ran to work. Even Steward Mo lowered his head to calculate the accounts. The beads on the abacus made a crackling sound.
Hong Xiu glared at Li Muyang fiercely and shouted, "Huang Ergou, come out."
After that, she swayed her slender waist and plump buttocks and walked toward the backyard.
Therefore, Li Muyang once again followed Hong Xiu to the backyard under the sympathetic eyes of everyone.
Hong Xiu closed the small door between the front and the backyard. She carefully listened to the surrounding movements. After confirming that the safety factor had been resolved, she whispered, "Young master, the Song enterprise has begun to fight back. Do they know that you're back in Tiandu?"
Li Muyang was not very anxious. He said, "If Song Yu was not sure that I was the behind-the-scenes manipulator when he died, then Song Gudu must have suspected me of doing the Gu Qinglin incident this time … Otherwise, he really doesn't deserve the title of the wise man of the Eye of Starry Sky."
"What should we do?" Hong Xiu said anxiously. "If they know that Young master is in Tiandu at this time, they will most likely immediately mobilize people to search for Young master's whereabouts. In that case, Young master's situation will be quite dangerous — —"
"It's not that serious." Li Muyang gently shook his head. "It's right to arrange people to search for my whereabouts. We are in the dark and they are in the light, which is not good for them. However, I reckon that they wouldn't send a large number of troops to search for him. That would only cause the recently settled Sky Capital to once again fall into a state of panic and chaos. The Song clan has always regarded the imperial power of West Wind as something that belongs to them, and Tiandu is also their Tiandu. Will they create chaos with their own hands? Of course not. "
"They pushed the Ogre incident onto me for two reasons. Firstly, they want to throw us into confusion. As long as we panic, it's easy to show flaws. It's easy for them to find my hiding place — — Secondly, I think Song Gudu has already guessed that I gave the Peacock King the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal, tempted his ambition, and helped him unify the nine countries, in order to ultimately ask them to clear the name of the Dragon clan. He took this opportunity to tarnish my reputation, but also to create some resistance and trouble to clear the name of the Dragon clan in the future. The notoriety of the Dragon clan has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be so easy to wash away? They don't feel comfortable, and don't want to make things easy for me. "
"Then we're not going to do anything?" Hong Xiu asked.
"Proceed according to the original plan." Li Muyang said in a low voice. "Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Since we have chosen to return to Tiandu for revenge, how can we easily retreat? "
"I'm worried about Young master's safety — —"
"I'm worried about Song Gudu's safety." Li Muyang's lips curved in a cold smile.
Just then, there was a commotion outside, as if some important guest had arrived.
