Yuan Mu looked at Mu Liuyun, who was still a little confused for a moment, and understood her state of mind at this moment.

Anyone would be dumbfounded by this kind of thing.

After all, it is normal for him to have a sword given by the late emperor. After all, Prince Zhongyong’s heroic rescue has been talked about by the late emperor for many years. In addition, Prince Zhongyong himself is the kind of rich and idle person.

His temperament has no ambition at all, and he has won the Holy Will. Over the years, there are quite a few gifts given to him by the emperor in his family.

But as Mu Liuyun said herself, she lived in Taiping County, Jiangzhou, far away from the capital when she was a child, and she came from a merchant family. Let alone the real Dragon Emperor, she had never even had a high-ranking family friend, otherwise she would have

I won't live under the hands of a mere prefect Yang and suffer for so many years.

Now he suddenly learned that his father, whom he had never met, had left behind a sword that was exactly the same as the one given to Prince Zhongyong by the late Emperor. It was a very courageous act for him not to be frightened on the spot and to still be able to speak.

"Who else knows you have this sword?" Yuan Mu asked Mu Liuyun.

"Only my mother, no one else knows." Mu Liuyun said. She hesitated for a moment, got up and drew a hastily pattern on the desk beside her, then handed it to Yuan Mu, "Sir, do you recognize this pattern?

?”

Yuan Mu had already seen Mu Liuyun's "painting skills", so he didn't have high expectations for what she painted. When he took it over and took a look, he saw a beast scrawled on the paper.

The head-shaped thing looks like a cat is not a cat, and a tiger is not a tiger, which is really confusing.

"You are the real 'painting of a tiger will not turn out to be an anti-dog'." Yuan Mu looked at the drawing and couldn't help it. He looked at Mu Liuyun helplessly and teased her.

.

Can Mu Liuyun admit that her painting skills are too "supernatural"? No, of course she won't!

She blushed slightly and defended: "Sir, you don't know something. It's not that my painting doesn't look like it, it just looks like this!

It looks like a ferocious beast, but it looks like a tiger but not a tiger. Its eyes are like copper bells, its mouth is wide and its fangs are very powerful."

"This... I don't have any impression at the moment." Yuan Mu thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of where he had seen something like this. "Does this have any special meaning?"

"The things my father left at home, apart from the Black Snake Sword, there is also a jade pendant, which is similar to this pattern." Although Mu Liuyun did not admit it, he knew in his heart that he could only draw that thing for his own understanding, so

He added, "That's what I just said. I don't know if that thing is also related to my father's identity."

She was afraid that Yuan Mu would not be able to figure it out, so she described the shape, color and texture of the jade pendant again.

Yuan Mu frowned slightly and tried to recall the various tokens he had seen over the years. It was true that he had never seen anything like what Mu Liuyun described, but his intuition convinced him that this thing must not be an ordinary object.

, otherwise he would not have been sighted by the missing Master Mu together with the Black Snake Sword, wishing that his eyes were heavy.

After thinking about it, he picked up the drawing on the table and placed it on the small oil lamp next to him. The flame of the oil lamp caught the corner of the paper and quickly ignited it. A fire burned rapidly from bottom to top. Yuan

The shepherd's hand shook, and the last corner of the paper that was originally held in his hand was burned into gray-black paper ashes by the fire, and fell lightly to the ground aside.

Yuan Mu twisted the paper dust with his feet, put Mu Liuyun's black snake sword back into its scabbard, and placed it on the table: "The jade pendant must be the same as the sword. Only you and Mrs. Mu know about it, right?"

?”

Mu Liuyun nodded.

"Don't make this matter public. Before the situation is clear, you must not let others see it." Yuan Mu said to Mu Liuyun, "The situation outside is not as pure and simple as it seems. Don't let anyone see it.

The Black Snake Sword was a gift from the late Emperor. It was extraordinary. It was not just a matter of whether it was valuable or not. It also showed that the relationship between the recipient and the late Emperor was anything but ordinary. What is going on with your father now? The same goes for us.

It’s cloudy and foggy, so in this situation, it’s better to do more than to do less.”

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the two swords on the table.

To be precise, the sword that fell on Mu Liuyun had a similar sword robe hanging on it.

Mu Liuyun followed Yuan Mu's gaze and saw his sword robe. He didn't think it was anything at all at first, but now the two swords were placed side by side on the table, with the pendant on the sword robe next to it.

Together, it seems somewhat...

Mu Liuyun came to his senses and hurriedly took back his sword. He thought again that this was not a cover-up and deceiving himself! Yuan Mu's eyes were as good as those of an eagle. With such a big pendant placed there, he might

Can’t see?

After seeing everything, Zang couldn't hide it, so Mu Liuyun twitched the corner of his mouth: "Sir... Hehe... I saw these two pendants in Songzhou that day and they were very nice, so I bought them.

, I was thinking of knitting a sword robe for you, but I was afraid that my skills were not good enough and the knitting would not look good, so I simply knitted two of them and picked the best-looking one for the adults to take.

The rest...after all, it's been compiled, so it's better not to waste it, don't you think...?"

Yuan Mu smiled and nodded: "You are right, waste is bad. It is good that you are doing this. You must keep it in the future."

"That's what my lord said!" Mu Liuyun immediately nodded in response. After saying that, he felt that he was being too careless. It seemed that Yuan Mu's words meant that he was encouraging himself to make more things for him in the future.

of?

The dignified prince, the dignified Lord Punisher, openly asked for gifts from his subordinates, tsk tsk tsk...

But why is there still a little bit of excitement in my heart?!

"When do you plan to leave for Taiping County tomorrow during your break?" Yuan Mu asked.

Mu Liuyun quickly came to his senses and said, "Sir, we will leave after the fifth watch tomorrow."

"Ask Yuan Jia to prepare the car tomorrow morning. To be on the safe side, I will go with you." Yuan Mu seemed to have made up his mind and had no intention of discussing. "I still need to see what the jade pendant you mentioned looks like."

To be honest, see if you have ever been in the palace

I have seen it somewhere outside the palace. If I have seen it, then the mystery of your father's identity will naturally become clear. If not, after I have seen it with my own eyes, I can pay more attention in the future, or ask my father if he
