Chapter 414 Surfaced (4)
Mr. Ou could tell that what the instigator said was from the heart. She seemed really sleepy and didn't want to continue wasting time pretending to be nice.
He suddenly laughed. Obviously, such a straightforward princess was more reliable than the concubine of the Yun family.
"What the princess said is correct, but we have been used to being cautious for hundreds of years. How could you know that this is not our way of protecting ourselves?"
Shen Yu said calmly, "To put it bluntly, you just don't trust Prince Zhuo's Mansion. If that's the case, don't you have a lot of people? Then why not just rebel? Just occupy the land and become the king. With such a fearful character, it's really hard to achieve anything great!"
"Hahahahahahaha, Princess Zhuo you are really interesting."
As soon as these words came out, the other people's faces changed again and again. They could see that Old Ou was in a good mood, but why did he suddenly talk about the topic of the whole family being executed? They came here to protect the descendants of the Mu family! !
Yun Hao's expression was particularly ugly. It seemed that Princess Zhuo's words had hit the dead old man's sore spot. These noble families were very slippery and had been wavering. If it weren't for the temptation of saving the only descendant of the Mu family, the dead old man would never admit that his surname was Ou!
No, we must not let them be on good terms with Prince Zhuo’s Mansion!
Yun Hao suddenly pointed at the opposite side and shouted angrily, "Look! He is indeed wearing the jade pendant with the word Mu. He is a descendant of the Mu family! Princess Zhuo, what do you want to do by bringing an orphan from the previous dynasty with you?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward and said, "Protect Lord Mu..."
Suddenly, a long sword with a cold glow appeared in front of Yun Hao's neck like a shadow. The sound stopped abruptly, the air solidified at this moment, and the whole yard fell into silence.
The servants of the Tan family have now become mature spectators. This kind of trivial scene can no longer scare them. Everyone looks at Yun Hao standing ten steps away from Princess Zhuo like a fool.
If they remembered correctly, the guard's sword had just killed someone not long ago.
Yun Hao's pupils trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to move. He met the calm eyes of the owner of the long sword. It was both a warning and an examination. Yun Hao felt an invisible pressure imprisoning him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. This was the first time in his life that he felt real murderous intent. At this moment, he regretted it. He was sure that if he was not careful, he would die here.
"King, lord..."
Lu Yingxing was a little impatient, "Cripple one of his legs."
"Yes!"
"Brother-in-law, let me do it!"
Shen Yu looked at this new brother in surprise, "You don't have to do this!"
Yu Ruilin smiled without saying anything. He rushed over and blocked Shen Yu behind him at the first moment. He took the wooden stick handed over by Gao Yong, and glanced at the people opposite with cold and wary eyes. He no longer had any of the kindness he had just shown.
His sister asked for his opinion before deciding to use the jade pendant as bait. He was involved in the plan from beginning to end. When he heard that a hundred years later there were still ministers willing to follow his surname, he was curious, but just curious.
Having followed Master Ji for many years, he was naturally familiar with the affairs of these aristocratic families of the previous dynasties, but in the past it was like listening to other people's stories. After all, the past had nothing to do with him.
But this time it was different, these people came for him.
After learning that he might be in danger, the Shi family member who had been lurking for so long was willing to show up and look for him at the first time. He secretly felt grateful and delighted in his heart. This is a very subtle relationship, just like being suddenly told that you are not an orphan, you still have a group of cheap relatives who are more than fifty generations away. The mere existence of these people will make him inexplicably have the illusion that he is not a human being.
But now it's gone. The gratitude and joy have all turned into anger and defensiveness. They want to hurt his sister without even asking!
"Mu, Master Mu, I'm here to save you. You are our old master!"
"Oh, really? Didn't I say my last name is Yu? How did you know that I was the person you were looking for?"
Elder Ou suddenly spoke up, "All descendants of the Mu family will have a birthmark on their waist. This is a secret passed down from generation to generation in your family. No one knows the reason, but as long as they are direct descendants of the Mu family, both boys and girls will have it."
Yu Ruilin paused and looked at the old gentleman whom he had met once.
"From your expression, it seems that you know about this birthmark... Ha! Old man Ji hid it really well! Your Highness should have been raised in the Ji family all these years, right?"
"What!!!" Several men behind him exclaimed at the same time, "How is it possible?"
These families from the previous dynasty have always had dealings with each other. Although the Ji family is aloof, everyone actually regards the Ji family as the leader. If they really have the Mu family bloodline, why would they hide it for hundreds of years?
"I'm not His Highness, I'm Yu Ruilin now." After saying that, he raised the wooden stick in his hand and aimed at Gao Yong's right leg.
Old Ou nodded to show that he understood. Now he is Yu Ruilin, which means that for many years before that, he was Mu Ruilin.
“No… No, ahh ...
"Okay Ruilin, come back!" Shen Yu's faint voice sounded.
The wooden stick hit his leg, and Yun Hao believed that if the princess had not spoken out to stop him, this child who looked only thirteen or fourteen would really break his leg.
After escaping death, Yun Hao collapsed to the ground, the knife on his neck was taken back, he stared at Shen Yu blankly, his eyes seemed to ask why Princess Zhuo pleaded for him?
Shen Yu was not such a saintly person. She shrugged and said, "Although you are annoying, I am afraid that my brother will have a nightmare tonight."
"I won't have nightmares!" Yu Ruilin rarely refuted his sister, but the gloom that had just arisen in his heart dissipated because of his sister's concern.
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ou Laodao, "Okay, just treat him as Mu Ruilin. What can I do for you?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and then was ecstatic, "Really, is it really that Mu family?"
"Could this be false? But now that he has married into my Yu family, he is no longer a descendant of the Mu family." Shen Yu shrugged and said indifferently, as casually as if he was talking about making a dinner appointment tomorrow.
Even without Old Ou saying anything, the young man who claimed to be a descendant of the Fu family was the first to get angry. "How can this be possible! He is a member of the royal family of the Mu family, the only descendant of the Mu family, and our former master. We..."
Meeting Shen Yu's half-smile, the man shut up.
"Tsk! You are a branch of the Fu family? What? Are you still planning a rebellion?" Fu Yunxiu came out from the back. He had just arrived when he was sent by Shen Yu to help check the accounts of the Tan family. He finally got a chance to slack off. He wanted to apply to join the group chat! !
"I, Young Master, I didn't!" When he saw the eldest son of Lord Luo's family, his momentum immediately wilted.
"Since you are not planning a rebellion, nor do you want to rebuild the old dynasty, then what do you want to do with the Mu family? Are you reminiscing about the master-servant relationship that has passed for hundreds of years? You said he was your old master, so why didn't you kneel when you saw him?"
Fu Yunxiu put his hands on his hips and started attacking as soon as he arrived at the battlefield.
