My lady, I'm going to rebel.

This is a row of low wooden houses, where merchants, guards, escorts, etc. live.

"Young Master Mu, a caravan just left for Xinbo, so we're short on supplies and need more time to prepare. Please rest here for a while. Someone will notify you before we depart."

Mu Zheng was surprised: "Is Gongzi Lian's business so good?"

The servant smiled and said, "Not entirely. The main reason is that the world is in chaos right now, so if we split up into two groups, our targets will be smaller."

Mu Zheng hummed and was about to enter the house when he heard someone yelling at them, "What are you doing? This is where merchants live. How can you just let people in? If something gets stolen, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Cao... Manager Cao." The servant was startled by the newcomer and stammered, "These two are the young master's new recruits..."

"New shit. How come I didn't know that the young master has recruited new people?" Manager Cao scolded.

Seeing the timid servant and the arrogant Manager Cao, Mu Zheng frowned. He had never had any contact with this Cao before, so it was too strange that he suddenly found fault with him.

Seeing Mu Zheng looking at him, Manager Cao sneered, "Looking at the way these two are dressed, they're obviously not merchants. If they're guards, they're too weak. The young master is young and easily deceived. Take them out and don't allow them to enter the gate of my Li family."

"Heh." Gong Wen laughed out of anger. "Since when has a steward started making decisions for his master? He's really like a male cat being suppressed by a female cat, and he doesn't know his place."

"What did you say?" Cao was furious. "Get out! It's ridiculous that people like you want to go to Langya."

Langya?

Mu Zheng looked at the other person suspiciously. Li Lian clearly said that he was going to Xinbo, so why did this guy surnamed Cao say that he was going to Langya?

"What are you looking at? There's no point in pleading. My caravan quota is full." That expression, that demeanor, made it seem as if Mu Zheng and the other two were some kind of dirty person who couldn't touch them. Gong Wen was about to go up and argue, but Mu Zheng held him back.

"Manager Cao, I think you are mistaken. We are going to Xinbo, not your team." Mu Zheng said.

"What? Xinbo?" Manager Cao was stunned, then yelled at the servant, "Why are you bringing someone from Xinbo to me?"

The servant also widened his eyes, looking innocent: "Butler He asked me to bring him here."

Before the servant could finish his words, Mu Zheng pulled Gong Wen and walked back.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? Are we really going to give up just because that kid yelled at us?" Gong Wen felt that this was not like Mu Zheng's style.

"Haha, we were cheated." Mu Zheng said. Li Lian clearly said to go to Xinbo, but the servant took them to the caravan going to Langya.

Obviously, this was intentional.

Didn’t the servant just say that a team has already set off, and Li Lian must be among them?

what?

Gong Wen heard this and said, "Wow, this Master Lian is really calculating. No wonder the servant asked us to wait a little longer. It turns out he is trying to buy time for that team."

Mu Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He said that Li Lian was not a troublemaker, but he didn't expect that he was almost deceived as soon as he came.

You want to abandon him? No way!

……

"Young Master!" Cao Pengfei stood outside a wooden door and called out respectfully.

After a while, the door opened.

A handsome young man walked out. Who else could it be but Li Lian?

"Hahaha, I said this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west would work. Looks like Mu Zheng isn't that smart after all. He went after Xin Bo's team after all."

Li Lian's eyes narrowed into a line due to her laughter, but her dimples were very obvious, and Cao Pengfei couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master is so handsome!"

However, he was still a little worried: "But Mu Zheng is always sent by the master. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to send him away like this? Moreover, there are many dangers on the way to Langya, not to mention the riots there. I am worried..."

"Hey..." Li Lian interrupted him, "What assassins are there? Besides, don't we have you? You are all my good brothers. You are enough for this trip."

Cao Pengfei's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. Yes, it was enough for the young master to have him, so why would he need a wild man?

"Hurry up and form a team, set off immediately!"

"Yes!"

……

"The blue sky and the fragrant autumn grass are the paradise in my heart. Who can turn my longing into a pair of wings..."

Gong Wen really likes listening to Mu Zheng humming. Although the melody is a bit strange, he always has an urge to sway along.

Li Lian was also very surprised. He never expected that the caravan had already left the city, so how did Mu Zheng emerge from the woods?

Still humming a song!

As expected of someone my father had hired, Li Lian stared at Mu Zheng with interest: "How did you know I would be in the convoy going to Langya?"

Mu Zheng smiled and said, "Because you added unnecessary details."

Li Lian pondered for a moment, then instantly understood what Mu Zheng meant. Cao Pengfei and Mu Zheng had no grudges against each other, so why was he going crazy for no reason? If he had just casually mentioned that he was part of a convoy heading to Langya, Mu Zheng might actually have believed him.

Moreover, how could a manager have the courage to drive away the people assigned by his master?

"Brother Mu is indeed thoughtful." Li Lian showed no embarrassment at being caught. "Since we're here, let's go together."

Hey.

Mu Zheng swaggered onto the carriage and said, "Let's go!"

Li Lian looked Mu Zheng up and down with a smile on his face. Is he starting to act arrogant now?

"Since you're my bodyguard, you're my subordinate. Tell me, what exactly are you planning with my old man? Are you here to spy on me, or to sabotage me?"

Mu Zheng was speechless. He looked up at Li Lian. He wondered if this guy was suffering from paranoia. "There's nothing much to say. Your father bought the Black Tribe's horses. I was only hired to protect you."

"Buy a horse? That's not right. He bought the horse because he liked you, not because he bought the horse and then chose you." Li Lian waved his fists twice. "What is it about you that makes him value you so much?"

Mu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "I hope you never see my strength."

After saying this pretentious sentence, Mu Zheng closed his eyes and dozed off.

Seeing that Mu Zheng ignored him, Li Lian quickly shouted, "Hey, you're here to be my bodyguard, not my master. It's a long journey, sing a few songs for me to pass the time."

Mu Zheng ignored him and even snored.

Li Lian was so angry that he waved the whip in his hand, and the horse accelerated, but Mu Zheng still sat steadily, without even shaking.

Mu Zheng secretly opened his eyes and glanced at Li Lian, with a slight smile on his lips.

fart boy!

In a daze, Mu Zheng heard the sound of approaching horse hooves. He didn't open his eyes because he didn't hear any panic around him. But soon, he felt a surge of heat rushing to his face. When he opened his eyes, Li Lian's huge head was as close as a fist from him.

"Ah!" Mu Zheng didn't react at all. Instead, Li Lian was frightened by his suddenly opened eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"Someone asked me out for drinks tonight."

ha?

Mu Zheng was alert, "Do you feel dangerous?"

Li Lian nodded, "Why don't you go with me?"

No, Mu Zheng was dumbfounded. If you feel it is dangerous, why should you go?

"Oh, that's a big client of mine. He has a lot of surplus money."

Mu Zheng was baffled. "Client? What's the danger with the client? Do you want to rob me?"

Uh.

Li Lian paused, then turned stern. "I'm telling you, do you know how to be someone else's subordinate? Your boss has spoken, why are you dithering? Just be straightforward."

Mu Zheng narrowed his eyes. Are you anxious now?

Humph! There's a problem.
