After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 265: Kyoto's New Nobles, Their Origins and Conflicts

If you ask who is the hottest new upstart in Dayin recently, it is naturally the great general Mu Xingyun who just returned from the south!

The young Mu Xingyun was already somewhat famous in Kyoto. Later, he followed his adoptive father, the old King Mu, to guard the south. He was brave and good at fighting. After the old King Mu passed away, the Prince Mu's Mansion was in perfect order under his management, and he received several commendations from the court.

This time he came to Beijing, he happened to save the princess of southern Xinjiang, which prevented the alliance between the two countries from becoming an irreversible situation. Therefore, as soon as he entered Beijing, he was praised by Emperor Yonghui and became a guest of honor among the dignitaries in Kyoto.

He was especially good friends with the third prince Lin Shaoshu.

Mu Xingyun did not attend the last palace banquet because he was said to have been injured in a fight with an assassin while rescuing the Princess of Southern Xinjiang.

Mu Xingyun bought a new house in Kyoto, which also means that for a short period of time, Mu Xingyun will continue to stay in Kyoto.

Late at night, a mansion in Yong'an Alley was brightly lit. The housekeeper and the servants of the mansion stood in a row, waiting for the arrival of the new owner.

The autumn wind was bleak and the night was eerie and scary. The servant behind the crowd couldn't help but ask, "Master Liu, what do you think of the new owner's habits? How can someone move in the middle of the night?"

Butler Liu, who was called Master Liu, glanced at the servant and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

As he finished speaking, the sound of carriage wheels rolling over stone slabs was finally heard.

I saw a medium-sized, black tung oil cart stopped in the alley, with a lantern hanging in front of the carriage. After the driver stopped the carriage, a man holding a child got off the carriage.

The man was dressed in white and had a slender figure. He looked like a weak scholar, but he was holding a five or six-year-old child with ease.

He was none other than Mu Xingyun, the hottest upstart in Kyoto.

When Butler Liu saw Mu Xingyun coming, he came forward with the child in his arms and said to Mu Xingyun, "Greetings, General. This must be the young master, right? Xiaotao, go help the lady..."

Unexpectedly, after a long while, no other woman came out of the carriage, and the usually tactful butler Liu froze in his expression.

Mu Xingyun was in a good mood, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam will have to come to Kyoto in a while, so you should put your luggage away first."

Butler Liu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go forward to put the luggage behind the carriage, but he didn't know that Mu Xingyun's words were not directed at them.

Two servants appeared behind the carriage at some point. It was dark at night and they were all dressed in black. Butler Liu didn't notice that there were other people at all.

Butler Liu tried to please the emperor twice but was avoided each time. For a moment, even someone as skilled in socializing as he was, he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the coachman also came in at this time. Compared with the two guards who were like wooden men, the coachman seemed to be easier to communicate with: "Butler Liu, right? Master... The general doesn't like crowds. From now on, you can just serve in the front yard."

"You don't have to worry about the luggage. We are here for you. Also, have the master and the young master's bedrooms been cleaned?"

With Yi Guang's intervention, Mu Xingyun led the child to the backyard and said, "This will be our new home from now on. Do you like it, Zhinu?"

There was no expression on Zhinu's lovely face, and her dark eyes were empty, like a jade puppet. She didn't respond at all to Mu Xingyun's question.

Mu Xingyun's face darkened, and his sharp eyes swept across the face that was three-quarters similar to Xiao Xuetang. He softened a little for some reason and said, "Are you still angry? I wanted to take you to see your mother that day, but who told her to be disobedient..."

The lights were on in the room, and under the dim candlelight, the handsome face looked a little evil. He said, "If you don't obey, you will pay the price, so I killed them all."

Zhinu's expressionless little face, when he heard the word 'kill', he didn't know what he thought of, he shuddered, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Mu Xingyun laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. I killed those who deserved to die. Only when they are all dead, can your mother come back to me!"

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to go back to Southern Xinjiang with us. We can stay in Kyoto to accompany her."

"In this world, the three of us are the closest and closest to each other."

"master."

There was a knock from Yi Guang outside the door. After receiving Mu Xingyun's order, he dared to push the door open and come in: "Everything has been arranged. Butler Liu is the Third Prince's man. Let him stay in the front yard and he won't disturb you."

"Also, the informant at Shuiyunju sent a message saying that Miss Xiao has woken up..."

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Mu Xingyun's eyes, and he said lightly: "I know."

Mu Xingyun looked at Zhinu, who had remained silent, with a somewhat cold expression.

Before he could get Xiao Xuetang back, he needed to do one more thing, which was to teach the child to speak.

At least, you should call him father.

"Yes."

After Yi Guang took Zhinu away, Mu Xingyun walked into the bedroom and opened the secret room behind the bookshelf.

Put the statue in the box in the shrine behind the secret room...

Under the dim candlelight, the shrine was not enshrined in the Central Plains gods or Buddhas, but an exquisitely carved nine-headed bird, which was glowing with a faint light, casting a strange and mysterious color on this quiet house.

……

Xiao Xuetang didn't know that what seemed like a short dream actually made him unconscious for ten whole days, and the situation outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Her memory still stayed on that night, when Xie died to protect her, and she wanted to avenge Xie.

Her enemy is Fu Shu, and in her dream he has another name, Mu Xingyun.

No wonder, no wonder every time Lin Xun mentioned Foshu, his expression became very strange. As far as she knew, Lin Xun and Mu Xingyun were sworn brothers.

But Xiao Xuetang's intuition told him that the relationship between Mu Xingyun and Lin Xun was not that simple.

Lin Xun was not surprised that Xiao Xuetang guessed Fo Shu's identity. After all, she was such a smart girl.

Lin Xun didn't want to mention the matter of Foshu, but he didn't think of hiding it from Xiao Xuetang. Now that he heard her asking, he was slightly startled before saying, "I am his only blood relative in this world."

Xiao Xuetang was startled, and subconsciously asked, "Is he also a member of the Lin royal family?"

No wonder, in the dream, Mu Xingyun turned the entire Kyoto upside down, as if he had a grudge against the entire Kyoto.

Lin Xun was silent for a moment. Under the light and shadow, his expression was a little unclear. His well-defined profile seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light under the candlelight.

Xiao Xuetang was distracted and recalled the scene when she first met him...

"He is my half brother."

In an instant, Xiao Xuetang, who was originally in a trance, regained consciousness and looked at Lin Xun in astonishment...

"Before my mother passed away, she entrusted him to me. I promised her that no matter how many mistakes Mu Xingyun made, I would forgive him three times. The last time was in front of the secret room in Xingxue Tower, which was the second time."

The first time was five years ago, when he was seriously injured and almost died by Mu Xingyun's conspiracy. However, he still ordered Mu Xingyun to be released at the border.

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang suddenly realized...

No wonder Fushu was so fearless in Kyoto, certain that Lin Xun would not attack him. So that's why!
