Chapter 80
Ashu’s skills have improved recently

"Since the brother discovered the person, he should be responsible for it."
After he finished speaking, he stood back. Mu Chengze fanned and gritted his teeth, and finally went down.
He did not take action himself, but informed the officials and asked them to call the officers and soldiers over, while he stayed here to ensure that no one would escape.
The officials seemed to encounter this kind of thing from time to time, and they came back soon.
When Shen Qiqi came out after cleaning, there was a commotion underneath.
Mu Chengze also didn't expect that the traitor was so skilled. None of the dozen or so officers and soldiers were his match. Seeing that one side was defeated, he had no choice but to take action himself.
There was a lot of banging and banging underneath, bowls and chopsticks were thrown all over the floor, and a lot of tables, chairs and benches were smashed.
The injured officers and soldiers formed a circle, preventing the traitor from escaping and daring not to come forward again.
As for the abducted mother and daughter, the daughter had shrunk in the corner in fear, while the woman was pulling on the official's clothes and beating and scolding her, saying both inside and outside that the official was preventing her from living a good life. .
Shen Qiqi, who had just come out, really couldn't understand this situation, so she tugged on Gu Tingshu's sleeve.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
It was obvious that she just cleaned it casually, as if she had missed a lot of things.
"I just met a traitor, no problem, just stand and watch the show."
I don't know if that traitor is really good at it or if Mu Chengze is deliberately teasing him. Half a cup of tea has passed and the two of them are still fighting.
The woman who was holding on to the official's clothes had been pinned down by the officers and soldiers. The official was sitting paralyzed on the side, looking at the mess everywhere with tears in her eyes.
I originally thought that this time would be the same as before, that if the officers and soldiers came and arrested the person, he would get some reward money, but I never thought that it would lead to such a trouble.
These things had to be bought again if they were broken, and the damaged walls had to be repainted. It took several days to clean them all up.
Calculated this way, the reward money received was not enough to compensate for his losses.
If I had known this was the case, I should have let the traitor escape just now and let them fight outside.
Judging from their looks, it seemed that the fight would last for a while. Shen Qiqi covered her mouth and yawned secretly, then quietly moved her steps and leaned against the pillar.
She was used to taking a nap at noon every day, but today she had no time to sleep in the morning. Although there was still fun to watch, her body couldn't hold it anymore.
Drowsiness came over her fiercely, and she tried to open her eyes wide, but except for two tears welling up, she couldn't resist any sleepiness at all.
Gu Tingshu glanced at her, then turned to look down. He waved his hand and unsheathed the long sword. He grabbed the hilt and swung it downwards.
The sharp weapon came through the air, and Mu Chengze, who was fighting with the traitor, felt his scalp numb instantly and threw himself to the side without thinking.
Before he could stand still, he heard a muffled groan coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that the traitor's shoulder was penetrated by a long sword. He retreated along with the force of the long sword and was then nailed to the wall.
Mu Chengze wiped the sweat from his head and looked up at Gu Tingshu, who only had the scabbard in his hand.
"A Shu has become very good at martial arts recently. With this move, I stole all the limelight from my brother."
I heard that he was killing all the cavalrymen in the cavalry camp these days, knocking all the cavalry commanders off their horses.
I expected that he would take a lot of steps, but I didn't expect that he would progress so quickly. With his arm strength, I don't know how many stone bows he can pull now.
This sword was so sharp that the killing intent suppressed Shen Qiqi's sleepiness.
She opened her eyes wide and waited until Mu Chengze asked someone to draw the sword before she moved and approached Gu Tingshu to look at his hand.
"Go in and rest, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
Gu Tingshu patted her forehead. Seeing her frowning in pain, he rubbed it gently again.
The officers and soldiers wiped the sword clean and presented it with both hands. Mu Chengze took it and turned his wrist to carve out a sword flower, his eyes showing his love for the sword.
"Send the reward as soon as possible. I have to be on my way tomorrow morning."
After the officers and soldiers bowed, they pressed the traitor and left. Mu Chengze waved his hand and was about to go upstairs when he was blocked by the woman.
"You thief, you and I have no hatred or grudges. What could you do to harm my good deeds?"
"If it weren't for you, my elder brother would take my mother and daughter to Kyoto City in two days, and we would be able to live a good life."
"Now that you have captured him, what will happen to us, mother and daughter, for the rest of our lives?"
It was obvious that he was just catching a traitor, but he didn't expect that he would be caught. Mu Chengze felt a headache when he looked at the woman who was clinging to him.
"He is an adulterer. It is a capital crime for an adulterer to kidnap and traffic women."
"You must have been trafficked, too. At your age, a brothel would not accept you, but your daughter may not be accepted."
"Even if you have never been to a brothel, you should have heard what will happen if you go in. A pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people, and a bit of red lips for thousands of people to taste. Do you really want to see your daughter like this?"
"My original intention is not to let more people suffer this crime. If you think I am meddling in my own business, I can have someone take you to Kyoto and let you experience the pain you are about to endure."
At such an age, she would not be taken in by a brothel, nor would a wealthy family take her in. She would end up being locked up in a back street, and she would be relieved by throwing in a few copper coins.
Seeing her body slumped to the ground, she seemed to have figured it out.
Mu Chengze glanced at the person who was huddled in the corner with only a pair of tearful eyes peering over, and finally took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it over.
"Go back to where you came from. Although Kyoto is a big city, not everyone can make a living there."
Life is not easy for craftsmen, let alone them.
Looking at the silver in her hand, the woman sat on the ground blankly, her eyes dazed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing him coming up, Gu Tingshu put away his sword, glanced down, and said coldly: "You shouldn't say more to her."
"She's pulling so hard. If I don't speak, how can I get away?"
Gu Tingshu looked at him deeply, said nothing more, and just led Shen Qiqi into the room.
His look seemed to have deep meaning. Mu Chengze wanted to ask again, but the door was closed with a "snap".
He touched his nose and thought that it was a good thing he was far away, otherwise his elegant face would have been flattened by the slap.
After entering the door, facing a wooden bed that was much smaller than the one in the house, Shen Qiqi did not dare to go over.
"Cousin, you have to ride a horse tomorrow, so you should sleep in this bed."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
There wasn't even a soft couch in this room, so if she wanted to sleep, she had to make a bed on the floor.
"I'm so old, I can sleep anywhere. Cousin, please go and sleep quickly."
Seeing her squirming and refusing to sleep, Gu Tingshu walked over and tapped her sleeping point directly when she was confused.
Seeing her softening, Gu Tingshu picked her up and put her on the bed.
When he opened the door, he was met with a brightly smiling face, and Gu Tingshu gave him a cold look.
"I knew you would come out again."
"Go and wash up quickly. I'll guard your cousin here."
