Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing Chu Mo coming back, a group of twenty-one people hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Sir, you are back."

"Uncle, you are still alive."

Two extremely discordant male voices came from the crowd.

Chu Mo turned around and saw that the village chief of Yangjia Village and shopkeeper Shiweitian Liu, who he had almost killed before, were standing at the end of the crowd, looking at him with a sneer on their faces.

Seeing the two of them, Chu Mo's face turned gloomy instantly.

Twenty-one on the side saw this and hurriedly explained:

"Sir, they are here to listen to your orders on the order of the young lady."

"Yang Hongyu's order?"

Chu Mo asked doubtfully.

Twenty-one nodded.

"I can understand him, but what's going on with this?"

Chu Mo first pointed at Village Chief Yang, then pointed at Shopkeeper Liu and asked.

Although Twenty-one is also a secret guard, he has never been in contact with Chu Mo before, and he is not aware of the disagreement between him and Shopkeeper Liu. At this time, he didn't know how to respond.

Village Chief Yang on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Uncle, the thing is like this. Shopkeeper Liu was against you before because he was obeying the elders of the clan. But now the second young master has taken over the position of the head of the family and clarified the status of the eldest lady and all your rights. So, , Shopkeeper Liu can be trusted now."

Hearing what Village Chief Yang said, Chu Mo suddenly became angry.

"When you were the head of the Hongyu family, you were all loyal servants. Now that you are the head of the Erbao family, are you all loyal servants again?"

Village Chief Yang and Shopkeeper Liu were blushing at what Chu Mo said.

Village Chief Yang was a little better, after all, he had always been on Yang Hongyu's side, but Shopkeeper Liu was a little embarrassed.

When Yang Hongyu temporarily took over as the head of the family, he followed the clan elder's wishes and plotted against Chu Mo. Now that Chu Mo mentioned the old matter in front of everyone, he was really embarrassed.

"Uncle, I was short-sighted and treated you too slowly. For the sake of the eldest lady and the second young master, please forgive me this time."

"Yes, uncle, now is the time to employ people. Shopkeeper Liu is also an old man of our Yang family. He has been working hard and never slacked off. It's just that the elders of the clan are too strong, so they made a mistake. Please forgive me. one side."

Village Chief Yang also stepped forward at the right time to help Shopkeeper Liu.

After hearing what Village Chief Yang said, Chu Mo fell into deep thought.

He wanted to deal with Shopkeeper Liu before, but was stopped by Yang Hongyu, and now he sent him to his side again. Why on earth was this?

However, since everyone understood what he said, it would be a bit unkind to drive Shopkeeper Liu away again.

It is even possible for others to misunderstand that he and Yang Hongyu are not of the same mind, and they will not be able to hold him back when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo nodded with a disapproving expression and said:

"Well, for the sake of my wife, Shopkeeper Liu, I will give you another chance, but if you dare to eat inside and outside again, even if the king of heaven comes, I will cramp and skin you."

Hearing that Chu Mo accepted him, Shopkeeper Liu immediately burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down, patting his chest and promising that he would never betray Chu Mo again in this life.

Chu Mo, who was a little disgusted by Shopkeeper Liu, ignored everyone and returned to the room to attend to himself, then called Twenty-One.

"Twenty-one, you are one of the few people I can trust now. I just ask you, if there is a conflict between me and Yang Hongyu, whose side will you stand on?"

Twenty-one looked at Chu Mo doubtfully, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he seemed to remember something, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and began to lower his head and think deeply.

Chu Mo didn't urge him and looked at Twenty-one quietly.

After a long time, Twenty-one raised his head and said in a very sincere and serious voice:

"Sir, if one day you and the eldest lady have a conflict, I will not help anyone. If something bad happens to one of you, I will definitely follow you."

After hearing this, Chu Mo not only did not blame Twenty-one, but actually said with great appreciation:

"Very good. You are very honest. Don't worry. Even if she wants my life, I will give it to her immediately. What happened before will never happen. Just treat it as a test."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Twenty-one breathed a deep sigh of relief and unconsciously patted his chest.

Seeing that the other party was like this, Chu Mo sighed, and after secretly saying "silly girl", he looked at Twenty-one with a serious expression:

"Twenty-one, now I have a very difficult thing for you to do. You saw what happened just now."

"To be honest, I can't trust any of those people outside, so you can't reveal this mission to anyone."

"Okay, sir, just ask me, I won't reveal anything even if I die."

Twenty-one looked at Chu Mo solemnly and promised.

Looking at Twenty-one's solemn expression, Chu Mo suddenly smiled:

"Twenty-one, don't you have your own name? Why do you always use a code name as your own name?"

After hearing this, Twenty-One was stunned for a moment, and then his face revealed an expression of loneliness, yearning, and loss:

"No, we are born with only one code name. Unless we have made great achievements or received a gift from the master, we will be given a name. Otherwise, this code name will accompany us throughout our lives."

"Like this."

Chu Mo touched his chin, then looked at Twenty-One:

"You have saved Xu'er before and protected me all the way to this point. If I don't reward you for such a great contribution, then you will be called an ungrateful person."

"In this way, from today on, you are my kin, Chu Mo. I named you Chu Ruowan, which means: as graceful as a startling dragon, like a swimming dragon, with a light body, as graceful as a dragon, with graceful wind and clouds. Are you satisfied? ?”

On the [-]st, when Chu Ruowan heard Chu Mo give her a name, she knelt down in front of Chu Mo in excitement and said tremblingly:

"Thank you for giving me your name. I, Chu Ruowan, will never betray you in this life. If I violate this oath, I will not be able to rest in the grave after my death."

Hearing Chu Ruowan make such a poisonous oath to herself, Chu Mo was startled and hurriedly helped her up and said:

"I named you because you are kind to me, and you deserve it."

"If you have to put a layer of shackles on yourself because of this, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

After speaking, Chu Mo patted Chu Ruowan on the shoulder and said:

"Don't have any burden in your heart. Just as you were before, you will be the same in the future. If you change your original intention, it will be a betrayal of me."

Chu Ruowan looked at Chu Mo blankly, and after a while, she nodded and said:

"Okay sir, I know what to do."

Chu Mo nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered:

"You and Village Chief Yang will secretly transport all the explosives in stock into Chang'an later. I'm going to give them gifts."
