NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 25
"My Zou family had no choice but to marry me because of Zhang Ji’s threats and fear of annihilation."
"We really have no choice but to ask Military Advisor Deng to intercede with Ambassador Liu.~~"
When Zou Yu'er saw that Deng Mu was silent, she became even more panicked and knelt down to beg again.
Deng Mu understood.
The Zou family was a prominent family in Wancheng, and Zhang Ji wanted to win over the people of Wancheng by marrying the Zou family.
It's just that Zhang Ji's rule was brutal and he was notorious for causing trouble to the Han Dynasty. Naturally, the Zou family was ashamed of the marriage.
Zhang Ji had no choice but to be soft and hard, threatening the Zou family with genocide to force them to agree to the marriage.
Zou Yu'er was afraid that Wancheng would change hands and that the new owner, Old Liu, would liquidate the remnants of Zhang Ji and deal with his Zou family as well, so he was afraid to plead with him.
"Miss Zou, don’t panic, please get up."
"Our Lord is a benevolent and righteous Lord, not a cruel person like Zhang Ji."
"Since you Zou family were forced by Zhang Ji and you failed to marry Zhang Ji, how could our Lord take action against you Zou family?"
Deng Mu comforted her with warm words, and reached out to help Zou Yu'er up again.
Zou Yu'er was originally panic-stricken, but now that she received Deng Mu's guarantee that her family would not be implicated, she burst into tears of joy.
This change of joy and fear was too sudden, and she was helped up by Deng Mu. She moved too fast, and her vision suddenly became dizzy. She became unsteady on her feet, staggered and fell backwards.
Deng Mu didn't think much, and instinctively stretched out his hand to support her.
Zou Yu'er's delicate body leaned against her. In his arms.
After a brief trance and dizziness,
Zou Yu'er quickly recovered. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was actually nestled in Deng Mu's arms.
"Young Master~~"
Zou Yu'er gave a sweet cry, her face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly struggled to straighten up.
For a moment, Zou Yuer was happy and ashamed. She lowered her head and rubbed the skirt of her clothes, feeling at a loss.
Deng Mu looked at the beauty in front of him and didn't know what to do with her.
In this era, it was natural for men to have groups of wives and concubines, so Deng Mu naturally followed the local customs.
With his current status, it is only natural for him to have several concubines.
Zhang Fei had good intentions, and if he sent an ordinary beauty, he would accept it calmly.
But the Zou family has a special status, and she is the daughter of the Zou family, a wealthy family in Wancheng.
Lao Liu first arrived in Wancheng and was about to win people's hearts.
However, he was good at making his own decisions and took in the Zou family's daughter, which would inevitably damage Lao Liu's reputation for generosity.
"Ziyu, are you used to living in this house?"
When Deng Mu was thinking about it, Old Liu's voice sounded outside the hall. When he turned around, he saw Liu Bei walking in with a smile on his face, followed by Zhang Fei behind him.
"Mu has seen his lord."
Deng Mu hurriedly turned around and saluted, and said curiously:
"How could the lord come to my house so late? Is there an urgent military situation?"
Liu Bei hadn't spoken yet.
Zhang Fei said first:
"There is no urgent military situation. My brother is afraid that the military advisor will not have good accommodation and good food, so he insists on coming to visit and inquire in person."
"I had no choice but to come with my brother."
That's it.
Old Liu came here at night to check on his subordinates.
"If the military advisor still lacks anything, he will be ready to ask for help immediately."
"If the military advisor is not comfortable living here, he can just move to the county mansion. Let's change now."
Liu Bei was asking for help, for fear of neglecting Deng Mu and even wanting to change residences with him.
Deng Mu felt moved in his heart.
I have to say that Lao Liu was really interested in him within the scope of his ability.
"The county mansion is the residence of the lord. How can I, a subordinate, live there? The lord is joking."
"Thank you for your concern, lord, Mu is living here very well."
Deng Mu cupped his hands and thanked him. Only then did Liu Bei feel relieved.
"Military advisor, are you satisfied with this beauty I gave you?"
Zhang Fei saw Zou Yuer present and asked with a smile.
Deng Mu was startled, then said with a wry smile:
"General Yide did not call me in advance, but suddenly sent me a woman."
Liu Bei looked at the two of them blankly, and then at the uneasy woman, unable to understand the meaning of the conversation between the two.
Zhang Fei did not hide anything, and frankly explained the cause and effect.
When he came, he still looked confident. :
"The military advisor has worked hard and achieved great results. Is it right for me to give him a gift to reward him for his hard work?"
"I thought that the military advisor was unmarried and had no concubine to take care of her food and daily life. I happened to bump into this girl and thought she was quite pretty, so I simply sent her to the military advisor."
"I think if I were the eldest brother, I would definitely do the same thing."
Liu Bei smiled helplessly.
How could he be stingy in giving Deng Mu a reward?
Let alone a woman, he would not even frown if he rewarded Deng Mu with the entire wealth of Wancheng.
It was just Zhang Fei's method of kidnapping. , he somewhat disagreed with it.
But Zhang Fei had done everything he had done and was kind to Deng Mu, so he had no objection.
"My lord, this Miss Zou is the daughter of the Zou family in Wancheng."
"Originally Zhang Ji wanted to marry her by force, but he was intercepted by General Yide and sent to me."
"This woman has a special identity, and Mu must reveal it to the lord."
Deng Mu took the first step and explained the origin of Zou Yu'er.
Zhang Fei said"Ah", and surprise flashed across his face. Only then did he realize that he had stolen Zhang Ji's bride.
Liu Bei was also surprised, and he quickly understood Deng Mu meant what he said.
This military advisor did not dare to accept this girl for fear of damaging the reputation of his lord, which would not be conducive to his appeasement and win over Wancheng's people.
Deng Mu, this is thinking of him in everything...
Liu Bei Feeling relieved in her heart, she came to Zou Yu'er.
Zou Yu'er was at a loss and suddenly panicked again. Being busy was a blessing.
"This Miss Zou, what happened today shocked you."
"I am a talented military advisor, but Miss Zou, you are not yet married."
"I, Liu Bei, want to be a matchmaker today and promise you to my son, the Imperial Military Advisor. What do you think, Miss Zou?"
Deng Mu was startled.
What is going on?
Is Lao Liu trying to match himself?
