Chapter 142
Looking at Xiao Jue, there was no accident when she heard the speech. She just laughed lazily and said, "is this how your highness treats the Savior of your little highness and starts a teacher to investigate the crime?"
"They are guilty," Mu Hongjin said coldly, "you are not innocent. The purpose of coming to Jiyang can't be to see whether the hall is good or not."
"It seems that your Highness has had a good life," Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows, "but other people in Jiyang city are not necessarily."
Mu Hongjin sat on the high seat, staring at Xiao Jue for a while, and then suddenly laughed. With this smile, she suddenly disappeared a lot. She leaned back, leaned against the cushion, and pointed to the guest chair on the side. "Sit down, don't say that this hall has neglected the guests from afar."
He Yan said thanks, and Xiao Jue sat down on the side seat.
This is mu Hongjin, the daughter of Mengji king. He Yan's eyes fall on her and always feel different from what he imagined. Before he arrived in Jiyang, he Yan thought of Meng Jiwang's daughter, who was probably old, loving, dignified and steady. Later, he speculated that she might be an old acquaintance of Liu Bujiang, and she might be a straightforward and righteous person. But I didn't expect that Mu Hongjin in reality is so beautiful and powerful, domineering and arbitrary.
"Your Highness..." He Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "when was it discovered?"
"When I'm so easy to enter Jiyang City, you still think that this hall is a decoration. You can't even see it." Mu Hongjin stroked a clear ruby ring between his fingers and said, "since the first day you entered the city, this hall has known about it. Cui Yuezhi that fool can not see, does not mean that everyone is as stupid as him. I was waiting to see what you wanted to do. However, since you have saved the building, this hall is not willing to go around with you. "
She looked at Xiao Jue and said, "well, governor Xiao, what can I do for you to come to Jiyang city?"
"I'm here to find someone." Xiao Jue said: "his name is Chai Anxi. He was once a subordinate of my father. Mingshui disappeared after the first World War. I found his whereabouts in Jiyang. But up to now, no one has been found. As for Cuiwei Pavilion, which was hidden, it was burned half a month ago. " He said, "since your highness already knows the identity of our party, please help him. With your help, it's not difficult to find someone in Jiyang city."
Mu Hongjin's smile slightly closed, "governor Xiao would not have expected this day, so let's borrow the hand of this hall to do things for you?"
Xiao Jue smiles.
"How dare you
He Yan is very quiet in his heart. Now he is in Mu Hongjin's territory, and they don't lead troops. Xiao Jue is very good. Not only does he not pick up his tail to be a man, but even Mu Hongjin dares to clamour and ask for help. Let alone Mu Hongjin, even Heyan thinks it is too much.
The young man said carelessly, "Your Highness must be very distressed these days for the wutuo people in Jiyang city. Chai Anxi may have clues from the uto people. His highness helps me, that is to help himself. "
Mu Hongjin stares at him: "how can this hall believe you?"
"Believe me, there is no loss." Xiao Jue's voice was quiet, "we should also see what your highness is most worried about."
The hall was silent for a moment. Slowly, the sound of applause rang out. Mu Hongjin clapped his hands and stared at Xiao Jue's eyes. He could not say whether he was afraid or appreciated. He said, "if general Fengyun really deserves his reputation, he should be able to do well even if he doesn't become a general but a counselor."
"Your Highness praises me falsely."
Mu Hongjin stood up and said, "you're right. There are utoes in Jiyang city. This hall has been worried about this for a long time. But how do you prove that the person you're looking for knows something about the uto? "
"Jiyang city has always been easy to get out of, but difficult to enter. Chai Anxi has been mixed into Jiyang for many years. If the uto people enter Jiyang without any people, they must be related. In his Highness's palace, among the officials of Jiyang, someone colluded with foreign thieves to make Jiyang City pass through with loopholes. It should be done by one person. Chai Anxi and the uto came to the city through the thieves. " Xiao Jue said calmly: "what your highness wants to do is to clear the internal thieves, but with your Highness's ability now, it has been forced."
Mu Hongjin laughed: "Oh? Why am I reluctant? "
"Because of the small building."
Mu Hongjin's smile faded.
He Yan understood the meaning of Xiao Jue's words. After the death of Queen Meng Ji's husband, she left a son, and he could still sit on the throne. But after his son died, there was only one granddaughter, who is still young. Although women can inherit the throne and become a king's daughter, if it is as simple as that, Mu Hongjin would not be married to the son of an important official of the imperial court to stabilize his power.
There are only two women, a pair of grandsons and grandsons supporting the grand palace. Mu Hongjin is afraid that Mu Hongjin will not be as relaxed as it seems.
"Governor Xiao has a good insight into the future," Mu Hongjin sighed. "Since my son died, people in Jiyang city have been unstable for a long time. Small buildings, as young as this year, can not afford to be a big responsibility. The aristocratic families have long been divided into different groups, which is like a plate of loose sand. It is very easy to be exploited. However, "she stopped and looked at Xiao Jue again." the uto people mixed up in Jiyang for fear that the situation in the Central Plains of the great Wei Dynasty would not be stable. ""Your Highness, your highness."
"So," Mu Hongjin slightly raised his chin: "do you want to join hands with this hall?"
"If you like," Xiao Zhizhi said
Mu Hongjin nodded: "this hall will let people search for Chai Anxi's whereabouts in the city. If this person is alive, and is still alive, let him hide. I promise you that we will find him out. However, you should also promise this hall, "she flashed a shrewd wishful thinking in her eyes." it is said that general Fengyun uses his troops like a God, and he has a clever plan. You and I will work together to solve the plight of the uto people in Jiyang city. "
This time, she used "I" instead of "the main hall", which means that she put herself and Xiao Jue on the same level to seek cooperation.
Xiao Jue nodded: "definitely."
The words have already been said. Mu Hongjin's face slightly removed the initial inhumanity, and even showed some friendly smile, "Cui Yuezhi told you to go all the way into the palace, and waited in the outer hall for a long time, but I didn't think it would be useful. Since I'm here, I'll go after dinner. If you change your clothes, I'll thank you in person. " She looked at Heyan again, and her eyes flashed with interest, "but I didn't expect that when governor Xiao came to Jiyang, he would choose to be a married man. This one Is it your lover
He Yan almost choked by his own saliva. He knew that Jiyang people were frank and direct, but even Wang Nu was so direct, it was still a bit of an accident.
Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, "no, she is my subordinate."
"Subordinates?" Mu Hongjin said with a smile: "but I heard from Yue that yesterday you went to the water god's day together. You also walked through the lover's bridge to win the wind for her. You took a fireboat. With the temperament of governor Xiao, a subordinate, you would not be so accommodating. And as a subordinate, the request is too bold. "
He Yan thought deeply in his heart. The deep meaning of this is to make her more restrained in the future. After thinking about it, she said politely and respectfully: "He Yan would listen to his Highness's instruction, and he would be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, so as not to add trouble to the governor."
Mu Hongjin was shocked for a moment and looked at Xiao Jue: "it's really a subordinate."
Xiao Jue speechless moment, calm way: "under the dull, let your highness laugh."
"Nothing. It's always your business." Mu Hongjin reached out his hand and stroked his hair and said, "I will go to see Cui Yuezhi first and tell me to find someone for you. You two are here for a moment
After that, he got up from the high seat and slowly disappeared in the back of the hall.
He Yan was relieved when she left. I don't know why, in the face of this Meng Ji King's daughter, I always feel that I can't relax too much. Maybe she is too powerful to teach people to ignore.
"Governor, how did you admit it just now?" He Yan touched the elbow of Xiao Jue, "also do not quibble."
Xiao Jue sneered: "not everyone is a liar like you."
He Yan shrugged his shoulders and changed his words, "but this Meng Ji King woman is really powerful. She was discovered at the first time when we went into the city."
"I didn't mean to hide it from him." Xiao Jue said: "Cui Yue can still perfunctory, with his own strength to stabilize the women of Jiyang City, which is so good to cheat."
"Well," He Yan thought deeply of his words, "women are not easy to cheat when they are not emotional."
But if you like a person, believe in a person, it is too easy to be cheated.
Xiao Jue looked at her and said slowly: "but some women are not easy to be cheated, but also like to cheat."
He Yan said:
She said, "it's no use saying that. Who lied to you?"
Just as he was saying, a maid of the palace came in and said, "please come with your servant. Your highness, please have dinner in the banquet hall."
He Yan and Xiao Jue went to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall of the palace is also very large. Although the walls and roofs are covered with colorful paintings and the ground is covered with bright colored blankets, because there are few people in the long table, it is still a cold and empty place. Gorgeous emptiness makes people feel lonely.
Mu Hongjin sat on the couch of the long table and said, "sit down."
He Yan and Xiao Jue Yi Yan sat down at the table.
"I don't know what you like to eat. Make yourself at home." Mu Hongjin seems to be a little tired, leaning against the cushion, "this hall let Cui Yue go back first, he is in, it's not convenient to talk."
Cui Yuezhi doesn't know the identity of Xiao Jue now, and there are many inconveniences.
In fact, the food of the king's house is no different from that of Cui's. However, he Yan was not very particular about eating. Some of them were good. He said thanks immediately and picked up chopsticks with reserve. I also remember that the person in front of me was Meng Ji Wang's daughter, so she was not easy to be presumptuous, and her food was just gentle.
Mu Hongjin looked at Xiao Jue: "commander Xiao, if the uto people sneak into Jiyang, what is the purpose?"
"Great Wei."
In a word, let Heyan drink soup action to stop, instant feel delicious food tasteless.
"Once the uto gained power and occupied Jiyang, the first thing to do was to cut off the canal. Cities along the river will be affected, no food and no money, merchants strike, Central Plains chaos. Once again, he went north and went into the capital city to smash the imperial palace. " "Nothing is more natural than that," he saidMu Hongjin was silent for a moment, then said: "this shocking thing, Xiao Dudu said is very relaxed."
"Because it's about to happen." Xiao Jue said: "not now, as early as the father and Nanman Mingshui war, has begun to show clues."
"Nanman?" Mu Hongjin was the first time to hear about it, and asked, "what's the matter with Nanman?"
"There was a traitor in the court, who used to collude with the southern barbarians. Unfortunately, the rebellion of the southern barbarians was brought to an end, and the country of utuo was far away. In recent years, everything was safe and quiet, and he had been accumulating strength secretly. Therefore," he "changed the partner of cooperation and changed from the southern man to uto. Jiyang is the first city to invite merit. "
Mu Hongjin's hands caressed his heart and frowned: "Jiyang has not fought for many years."
"Let me talk a little bit more," Xiao Jue asked. "How many soldiers are there in Jiyang now?"
"Less than 20000."
He Yan frowned, less than 20000, which is not a reassuring number. You know, there are more than 20000 people in liangzhouwei.
"Commander Xiao doesn't have Nanfu soldiers under him," Mu Hongjin asked. "Can you transfer the Nanfu soldiers to Jiyang?"
"It's too late." Xiao Jue road.
He Yan and Mu Hongjin are stunned at the same time. Mu Hongjin says coldly: "is not Xiao Dudu alarmist?"
"Your Highness has already counted the truth. If you are not in a hurry for a while, "Xiao Jue's expression is still calm," Your Highness will not be taken away in the water god Festival. "
Mu Xiaolou is a part of their plan. They just happen to meet Heyan and their plan is disrupted. It can be imagined that if he and Yan did not show up on that day, Mu Xiaolou was successfully abducted. There are only two kinds of results. The first is that rumors about the disappearance of the little Royal Highness have made people panic in Jiyang city. There is no heir for the queen daughter. The people are in turmoil. The aristocratic families make trouble. People hiding in the dark take the opportunity to disturb the muddy water and go directly to the top. The second is simpler. They will use Mu Xiaolou as a bargaining chip for direct negotiations with Mu Hongjin. If Mu Hongjin loves his granddaughter, he will give up the throne directly, so that he can occupy the whole city of Jiyang without a single soldier.
No matter which result, it is not what Jiyang city can afford.
"You mean..." Asked Mu Hongjin.
"Prepare for a fierce battle ahead of time." Xiao Jue replied.
The topic was too heavy. The people in the banquet hall were speechless for a moment. Just then, a crisp voice rang out: "grandmother!"
It's Mu Xiaolou.
Mu Xiaolou has changed her clothes again. Her clothes are also bright red, embroidered with golden lotus flowers. She is gorgeous and delicate. She doesn't wear a gold crown. She has two braids hanging on her chest and a little forehead ornament on her forehead. It looks like Mu Hongjin when she was a child. She takes off an alien girl, but compared with Mu Hongjin's domineering beauty, Mu Xiaolou is more delicate haughty.
Back to the familiar palace, Mu Xiaolou is not as silent as when she was in Cui's house. She ran over like a bird, jumped on Mu Hongjin's soft collapse, nestled in Mu Hongjin's side, and said, "grandmother, why is Cui Zhong not there?"
"Cui Zhong has something to do with riding." When Mu Hongjin faced Mu Xiaolou, he was more loving. He touched her head with a smile and said to her, "your Savior is here. Thank them quickly."
Mu Xiaolou turned his head and looked at Heyan and xiaojue. After a long time, he whispered, "thank you for saving me."
Some of them don't mean to save face.
He Yan did not dispute with her, but asked Mu Hongjin, "how did your highness fall into the hands of the villains that day? Is it the villain who sneaked into the palace? "
If so, those thieves are too bold.
Mu Hongjin looked at Mu Xiaolou, "say it yourself."
"It's nothing," Mu Xiaolou glanced at her grandmother's face. After a long time, he said, "I want to go to the water god's day, but I don't want the guards to follow me, so I went out of the house by myself. When I met those people on the way, they said they could help me take the fireboat. When I got on the boat, I couldn't move after drinking tea. Then I met you
She said understatement, mostly for fear of being blamed by Mu Hongjin. I think it also experienced a lot of dangers. But it's normal for children of this age to be playful. Mu Hongjin has only such a granddaughter. She is very strict in daily life for fear of any accident. Children can be excused for wanting to go out and play by themselves.
It's just that I'm not very lucky. I've been watched by people for a long time.
"Thank you very much," Mu Hongjin sighed. "If there is something wrong with the small building, I don't know how to live."
"Your Highness, don't say that. My highness, the lucky people have their own natural features. Even if they don't meet us, they will meet others, and they will be safe and sound."
Mu Xiaolou smell speech, mumble A: "originally is not you save me, on my is an uncle." After that, she looked at Heyan again, "isn't that uncle coming today? When can he come? You go back and tell him, I want to see him, can you come into the mansion and play with me
Mu Hongjin or the first time to hear such a person, doubt asked: "what uncle?"
"It's an uncle like an immortal," Mu Xiaolou cheered up and showed Mu Hongjin, "he's very tall, wearing a white dress. He's so fierce. I was caught at that time. As soon as he appeared, he knocked over the knife! He has a sword, and he has a harp on his backMu Hongjin's expression gradually became stiff.
He Yan's heart is full of bitterness, just hope that this little ancestor will stop talking about it. Mu Xiaolou, however, seems to have a good impression on Liu Bujiu. Speaking of this, he is so excited that he would like to tell Mu Hongjin all he knows.
"He can also play the piano. He played it for me, which is the one you often play, grandmother. But he played much better than you. He said that song was called "Shaoguang man". Grandmother, why have I never heard you mention the name of this piece of music? Is it really called that name
Mu Hongjin looked at Mu Xiaolou and slowly opened his mouth. His voice was dry. "Since you have seen him, do you know his name?"
"I asked him," Mu Xiaolou replied, "he said his name was Yunlin Jushi, but I heard that they all called him master Liu. You should ask him, "Mu Xiaolou pointed to Xiao Jue." it seems that Yunlin is his master. I heard Cui Zhongqi ask. "
Mu Hongjin looks at Xiao Jue: "is that right?"
He Yan nervous palms sweat, listen to Xiao Jue answer: "yes."
The banquet hall was inexplicably dull. Mu Hongjin didn't speak, but just leaned on the collapse. She didn't pay attention to Mu Xiaolou. Her eyes were gradually far away, as if she remembered the distant memories. Her eyes could no longer accommodate others.
In his mind, Mu Hongjin and Liu Bujiu are not only old acquaintances, but also have a long history.
I don't know how long it took Mu Hongjin to return to God and said, "I know."
He didn't say he would see you again, nor did he ask Liu buforget about the news. It seemed that this man was just a passer-by who forgot his name. Her expression returned to calm again, and the depression for a moment disappeared. It seemed that she returned to the high and inhuman Royal Highness when she first met.
If she wanted to ask better, she put it down so that he Yan was suspicious. In her heart, it seemed that there was a restless cat scratching her. Finally, she could not help asking, "is your highness an old acquaintance with Yunlin?"
Xiao Jue glanced at her, eyes dew warning.
He Yan doesn't care. Liu Bu forgets to be her relative. Now she can see a shadow of Liu Bujiu's past. How can she give up. Besides, Mu Hongjin's look At least Liu and I are not enemies.
Mu Hongjin didn't expect that he Yan would suddenly ask. Looking at him, he Yan looked at her generously. After a long time, Mu Hongjin laughed and said, "commander Xiao, your subordinates are really brave."
Xiao Jue's eyes were clear and light: "Your Highness Haihan."
"I haven't said anything about this temple. You don't have to hurry to protect the short." Mu Hongjin smile, "just this question, many years no one dare to ask."
He Yan's heart is strange, is it really the enemy?
Since he is an enemy, how can Liu not forget to treat Mu Xiaolou so well? After all, Mu Xiaolou and Mu Hongjin are so alike that they can't be gentle with a face like an enemy.
"It's nothing to tell you." Mu Hongjin said faintly: "many years ago, when we were not married, we once ran away from the palace." She looked at Mu Xiaolou and said mildly, "just like yesterday's building."
"But this hall is very lucky, did not meet the villain, instead met a young man who just came down from the mountain."
Her beautiful eyes stare at the painting on the wall in the distance. It looks like a girl sitting under a flower tree knitting a wreath. The large peach pink is bright and gorgeous, just like the spring days of that year.
"I adore this young man in my heart, so I pester him and follow him with the excuse that he has no money and nowhere to go."
Mu Xiaolou is also the first time to hear about his grandmother's story, and his eyes are wide with surprise.
"This is the first time that I like a person. Naturally, I am very sincere. However, the young man already had a sweetheart and didn't like this hall. He was very indifferent to this hall. The father told this house that the marriage had been decided and would not be married in the future. And the house begged the young man to take the house away
He Yan was surprised and speechless. Meng Jiwang's daughter was really brave and dared to elope before marriage.
"On the day appointed, he did not come." Mu Hongjin said faintly: "this hall was found by the father's people, and returned to Jiyang to become a relative."
"Later, I didn't see him."
