Chapter 1724 Mu Family’s Moves (3)
??<Nan Family Residence, Feng Ao Kuai's side>
Feng Ao Kuai listened to the words of the dark guard. Even if his grandfather didn't hand over the Nan Family's guards to him, he still had the dark guard from Feng Family whom he and his father cultivated.
Only his stupid older brother didn't know about this.
But well, just leave that stupid brother be. It would be enough for him to know that there were some of their father's people around him who protected him most of the time.
"So they truly come. Mu Sheng Shuang, huh?" Feng Ao Kuai's eyes flickered.
After confirming the engagement with Mu Fei Jiu, Feng Ao Kuai naturally sent some of his people to watch over Mu Fei Jiu. This way, he could ensure her safety when it was necessary.
Even if the feelings between them was not very deep, he would still fulfill the responsibility to protect his own people.
Hearing that Mu Sheng Shuang was coming here, Feng Ao Kuai nodded but didn't move.
The dark guard couldn't understand Feng Ao Kuai's thought and only knew that this master of his was very smart. No matter what Feng Ao Kuai did, he would not question it.
Soon, the servant came to inform about Mu Sheng Shuang's arrival.
"I see. Since a guest has come, I need to entertain them." Feng Ao Kuai stood up and walked along the path towards the front. He could see Mu Sheng Shuang was still standing, looking very polite.
"Official Mu greets Official Feng," Mu Sheng Shuang quickly greeted.
Even if he had been in the official's system for several years, his position was lower than this young man, who had only taken post this year. Comparison was indeed very unbearable but it was also because of Feng Ao Kuai's ability that Mu Family coveted the relationship with him.
If they could get close to this promising man, the goal of restoring Mu Family Reputation wouldn't be a dream anymore.
But things had to be taken step by step.
"Official Mu," Feng Ao Kuai also greeted politely. "Please take a seat. It must have taken you a long journey to come here."
"Thank you for your kindness, Official Feng." Mu Sheng Shuang nodded and sit down.
He silently looked at Feng Ao Kuai in front of him. Before this, he had helped his cousin to try finding Feng Ao Kuai in the frontline areas. But unfortunately, he didn't manage to meet with Feng Ao Kuai and only with his older brother and cousin.
The two people whom he met back then might not look very kind to him, but they were easier to deal with.
However, Feng Ao Kuai looked harder to read.
"What brings you here, Official Mu?" Feng Ao Kuai asked as the servants poured tea for the two of them.
"My cousin is going to get married. As her cousin, how could I not come and participate?" Mu Sheng Shuang replied with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Official Mu would come for this matter. In that case, I'll let the servants to know and prepare more seat and food for you," Feng Ao Kuai replied unhurriedly.
Mu Sheng Shuang's lips twitched faintly.
The answer that Feng Ao Kuai gave was similar to his cousin, Mu Fei Jiu. It was as if the two of them had already scripted their answers in advance. But no one should know that he would be coming to the Capital City.
This was something that his father decided after a long time of consideration.
Well, not that long, either.
The two of them smiled at each other and began to talk about many things. From the political topic, to the frontline, and then to the Mu Family. Everything was discussed as if they were good friends.
But Mu Sheng Shuang sadly found out that he couldn't dig anything from Feng Ao Kuai.
For example:
"I heard that the recent frontline is not very safe. It would be worrying should our post be moved there."
"Indeed, but everything is not up to me." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. "I just have to prepare myself for that scenario."
"And how to prepare?"
"Of course that's to make sure I know the terrains well." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Mu Sheng Shuang with a smile. "After all, if I know the terrains and knew how to defend myself, I would be able to last until the commanders in charge of the area come."
Mu Sheng Shuang: "…"
That's true, but can't you be more specific?
Another example:
"My father has been thinking about coming to the Capital City directly. Unfortunately, it's not very convenient for him."
"I heard that General Mu was injured badly in the war, so please don't force yourself. We understand that General Mu is thinking about us, but he had to pay attention to his own health more," Feng Ao Kuai replied with a worried expression.
"Thank you," Mu Sheng Shuang replied with a stiff smile.
He had the feeling that the more he talked with Feng Ao Kuai, the more frustrated he would be.
If talking with Mu Fei Jiu would make him feel helpless by her somewhat silly yet deflecting answer. Then talking with Feng Ao Kuai would make him frustrated but there was no way for him to vent his emotions.
Facing these two, Mu Sheng Shuang had the faint feeling that he knew why these two were attracted to each other.
They were too similar!
Even if the exact methods were different, the two of them were very similar and many of their ideas in the coincide topics were the same when he talked.
In the end, Mu Sheng Shuang could only excuse himself.
"Please take care, Official Mu." Feng Ao Kuai cupped his fist politely. After that, he watched Mu Sheng Shuang leaving and sat down again.
"Huuu, he's a bit harder to deal with than some other annoying men." Feng Ao Kuai poured a cup of tea for himself and drank the tea calmly. "But it's a hundred years too early to calculate me."
