I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 267 Imperial Edict

Bai Danchen didn't believe it and thought Xu Shu was just being polite.

Xu Shu glanced at Mu Jinghua and asked him to speak.

Mu Jinghua shook his head and turned the conversation to Bai Danchen: "I heard that my father's original name was Bai Danchen, which has the same pronunciation as my uncle's character Chen, but different shapes. Why did my grandfather name him like this? Isn't it inconvenient for him to do this on a daily basis?"

Hearing him talk about this, Bai Danchen shook his head: "Danchen is actually my name. My father got it when I was 20 years old. At that time..."

He fell silent, and everyone understood what he was not saying.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Bai Danchen grinned and said, "The courtyard where your father lived is still there, and there are many of his childhood things in it. Do you want to take a look?"

Mu Jinghua's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to agree, he heard Qiao Jianhong say, "I'm familiar with that place, I'll take Mu Ge'er there."

Seeing Bai Danchen looking at him, he explained, "Don't you have something else to do?"

Speaking of this, Bai Danchen sighed: "Indeed."

He looked at Mu Jinghua embarrassedly: "Your Majesty wants to rebuild the ancestral hall, and the Ministry of Works is very busy. I'm afraid my uncle can't accompany you."

"But remember to come to your uncle's place for lunch at noon. I'll just pick a servant to lead the way for you."

"Okay, I won't say any more. Just follow Jianhong."

Qiao Jianhong then replied: "Please."

Mu Jinghua glanced at Qiao Jianhong expressionlessly, smiled at Bai Danchen, and then pulled Xu Shu away.

Qiao Jianhong saw his actions and had no objection, but when he was about to walk to a deserted place, he finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Mu, don't forget our agreement."

Mu Jinghua was about to respond when Xu Shu had already punched Qiao Jianhong in the face, knocking him a meter away.

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "I brought my husband to visit relatives in Beijing. General Qiao's words are really confusing."

Qiao Jianhong touched his slapped cheek and sneered, "Xu Shu, you are just trying to get what you want for a while, aren't you afraid that I will send someone to kill you at night?"

Mu Jinghua frowned deeply, and finally remembered what he felt was wrong.

Although Qiao Jianhong threatened Xu Shu's life at the beginning, now that they have come to Shangjing, they have come to Qiao Jianhong's territory. Not to mention the soldiers he has, just his ambushes and connections in the capital...

He always knew that Xu Shu was powerful, but he was not sure how powerful he was.

Mu Jinghua subconsciously looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu didn't pay attention to Mu Jinghua, but just said to Qiao Jianhong: "I actually forgot that General Qiao has 800,000 troops under his command. How can I, a weak commoner, fight against you?"

After hearing Xu Shu's statement, Mu Jinghua suddenly felt that Xu Shu seemed very confident.

Qiao Jianhong also had this illusion, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Xu Shu was just speaking in a vain way, after all, Shangjing was his territory.

He has a decent reputation among the people, is supported by Prime Minister Mu in the court, has troops at his disposal, and His Majesty trusts and is close to him...

He did every step impeccably in these matters. How could Xu Shu get the confidence to shake the situation he had carefully planned for many years?

Is it just because of his identity as a time traveler?

Thinking of Qiao Wan's understanding of the plot of this world, even though his expression remained calm, Qiao Jianhong still felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

Xu Shu saw Qiao Jianhong was silent. He didn't know what he was thinking. He just felt bored: "If you are confident that you can kill me, why not give it a try."

"But if it doesn't work..." Xu Shu raised his hand and punched him again, "General Qiao, please also consider my strength carefully."

Qiao Jianhong didn't know how to refute for a moment, but he was punched twice for no reason. He felt aggrieved and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, then stepped forward to practice with Xu Shu.

But before he could take a step, Mu Jinghua stopped him and said, "Don't touch him."

Xu Shu and Qiao Jianhong were both stunned.

Xu Shu touched his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable with this complicated sweetness. He was actually... protected by Xiao Mujin?

Qiao Jianhong was helpless about Mu Jinghua's partiality: "It was obviously him who started it first."

Mu Jinghua didn't care about that: "If you don't want to lead the way, get out."

Qiao Jianhong: ...

He was clearly the one threatening others, so why did he feel so aggrieved?

However, he was still more tolerant towards Mu Jinghua, so he talked about Bai Danchen again: "Your father was a soft-hearted man when he was alive, and he was good-tempered to everyone. If it weren't for Bai Danchen and me protecting him on a daily basis, I'm afraid anyone could bully him. How come it happened to you..."

boom.

Another punch landed on his face. Qiao Jianhong was stunned for a second, then he heard Xu Shu slowly say, "Our little Mu Jin is good no matter what. But you, a grown man, always criticize boys and girls. Your parents died early, so you really don't learn anything?"

Qiao Jianhong was so angry that he laughed: "Xu Shu, I didn't know you were so good at talking."

"Since you are determined to fight me, let's have a fight." He looked at Mu Jinghua, "Then don't blame me for being cruel."

Mu Jinghua frowned and looked at him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp voice behind him.

The voice was very strange, sharp and not like a boy or girl's, but the tone was like a man's. However, it was weird everywhere and made people feel very uncomfortable at first hearing it.

The voice was shouting something sharply. Mu Jinghua couldn't hear it clearly at first, but he saw Xu Shu's face change and he immediately knew that something was wrong.

He subconsciously looked at Qiao Jianhong, but he didn't know whether he was pretending well or not. His face looked confused and he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

However, he was obviously familiar with the owner of the voice, and immediately lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee.

Crisp and done in one go.

This looked very much like the day of his birthday when Xu Shu proposed to him.

Mu Jinghua suddenly thought, could it be that the person with the strange voice is his brother?

But what kind of occasion is this? The atmosphere is still stagnant, so why is it that Qiao Jianhong is going to propose marriage the next moment?

This guy is indeed a playboy. He humiliated him yesterday, and now he is doing this...

Mu Jinghua was lost in thoughts for only about half a second. Xu Shu reacted and pulled Mu Jinghua, motioning him to look at him.

Then he knelt down.

Mu Jinghua frowned and was about to ask Xu Shu what he was doing when he heard Xu Shu whisper, "It's the eunuch from the palace who came to read the imperial edict. Please follow me and do the same."

"Eunuch?" Mu Jinghua repeated it once before remembering that this was what A Qiao had told him that day, the person who could serve the emperor even without any roots.

He slowly knelt down like Xu Shu. The eunuch also came up to him and shouted again, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
