Chapter 1389: 674 Overlord Jiaojiao_3

The guard took the doctor away.

The warrior monks looked at Gu Jiao with despair. Gu Jiao tilted her head and smiled.

...

Gu Jiao came out of the side room, scratching her little back with a cue stick: "Huff~"

Mu Qingchen had lately been distracted by her various small movements, inexplicably finding her adorable.

There was something off about this thought.

Mu Qingchen decisively banished such stray thoughts from his mind, and said seriously, "Are you done questioning?"

"Mhm." Gu Jiao nodded, "They’re not real Shaolin warrior monks, just a group of experts lurking in Shaolin. They’ve stolen Shaolin’s martial arts and secretly serve the gentry families."

Mu Qingchen was somewhat surprised by this outcome, "Which family?"

Gu Jiao said, "The Han Family."

Mu Qingchen’s brows furrowed: "It’s actually the Han Family... It seems that they are targeting the Mu Family this time. No wonder they injured Mu Chuan so badly right from the start."

Gu Jiao blinked; if you want to say that, I’m powerless to argue.

Mu Qingchen said, "The Han Family has had grievances with the Mu Family for a long time, but frankly, I never expected they would dare to make a move against me and Mu Chuan during the cuju match."

Gu Jiao touched her little nose.

In such circumstances, it seems appropriate to ask what the grudge between you is?

Alright, considering you’re taking the blame, I’ll ask.

"What exactly is the grudge between the Han and Mu families?"

"It started with military merit." Concerned with the Xuanyuan Family, Mu Qingchen was cautious. But after some hesitation, he decided to tell Gu Jiao, "Back when the Xuanyuan Family rebelled and their army was defeated, the military authority was divided into four parts. Both the Han and Mu families had their eyes on the Xuanyuan Family’s Hei Fengqi. In the end, the Hei Fengqi fell into the hands of the Han Family. To win the Mu Family over, the Crown Prince’s manor brokered a marriage between the Han Family and the Mu Family in the name of Consort Han Qi Fei. However, just one day before the wedding, the son of the Han Family eloped with his cousin, causing the Mu Family to break off the engagement in anger."

There actually was such a dramatic incident.

"However, it is said... there was another reason."

"What is it?"

"The heir of the Han Family’s father... and my uncle... both once aspired to become the husband to the Princess."
