I don't want to return

Mu Chongyu was taken aback for a moment, and finally there was some warmth in his eyes, but he also asked suspiciously: "The general said that you have been favored by Nanyan people? When did it happen? And how did it happen?"

Xue Jinghong's voice dropped, "Three years ago, I met a nobleman from Nanyan. He was benevolent, courteous, and a gentleman. The time I was with him was the most important part of my life. The most precious and precious time. It's a pity that he left me later."

"Then...why didn't you go to him?" Mu Chongyu frowned at him in confusion, with a slight shadow in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jinghong cast his gaze over him, as deep as water.

For a moment, Mu Chongyu almost thought that the "Nanyan people" in the other party's mouth was himself.

However, the next moment, Xue Jinghong lowered his eyes, and his voice was still low: "I... did something wrong, and I can't get him back."

Mu Chongyu couldn't help feeling sorry for him. He wanted to comfort the other party, but he realized that he had no position to interfere in the other party's private affairs, so he kept silent.

Fortunately, Xue Jinghong's depression was only for a moment. He seemed to calm down his mood, and then said: "Although I can't find him for the time being, I won't just give up like this. I will keep looking for it—but, I think Before finding him, I also do something for the people of Nanyan, so that when he stands in front of me one day, he may be able to... forgive me a little."

"Is it okay, Your Majesty?" Xue Jinghong looked into Mu Chongyu's eyes and said softly.

Those eyes were too sincere and too cautious, as if if Mu Chongyu didn't agree, there would be a crack of despair immediately.

Mu Chongyu looked away unnaturally, and finally sighed softly: "So, you can stay."

Although Xue Jinghong stayed, he "surrendered" from the Beiyu Army after all. Whether he is loyal or not is unpredictable for a while, so Mu Chongyu was very strict with him in the beginning.

Xue Jinghong felt something, but he felt a little lucky.He didn't show it on his face, and he always had an honest and loyal appearance.

Especially the service and care for Mu Chongyu.

Mu Chongyu sometimes vaguely feels that such care is so meticulous that it seems to have surpassed the limit of loyalty.However, when he tried to search seriously, he couldn't see through the face hidden under the mask, what kind of face and thoughts were there.

Xue Jinghong shook his head secretly.If Mu Chongyu wanted to investigate him, he wished he could open up everything about him and hide nothing; if Mu Chongyu doubted him, that's okay, he could let him re-acquaint him slowly and bit by bit. Own.

He has the patience of a lifetime to wait.

Now, it is the seventh day that Mu Chongyu has been bedridden to recuperate from illness.As his complexion improved, it seemed that the harsh winter had calmed down, revealing a trace of warm wind from early spring.

Mu Chongyu's thinking never stopped.The encirclement and suppression of Yingtou Village by the troops of Xu Lihui and Zou Chun made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings-weakness.

In today's chaotic world, the strong are respected, and the weak can only fall into a situation of being stretched and besieged on all sides.He cannot rest on his laurels.

As soon as Mu Chongyu recovered, he hurried back to Heiyun Mountain to discuss the next step with everyone.

Although Nanyan has been destroyed now and has given power to Beiyu, it may be because Beiyu is a regime outside the Mobei Great Wall and has never governed a vast land like the Central Plains, so the infiltration of political power in various parts of the Central Plains has not been smooth. It gave many people an opportunity to take advantage of.

There are those who speculate like Xu Lihui and become the lord of a city, and there are also people of insight who are running around on the land of Nanyan with the desire to restore the country.

If these patriots can be brought together in one place, it will become a force not to be underestimated.

Li Yuanshan also agrees with Mu Chongyu's thoughts. In the hearts of their scholars, there is nothing more important than a firm will. Forcibly surrendering and conquering by force are not as good as a heart that aims to restore the country.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a person who has been planning secretly in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas for a long time, and he already has a lot of connections. If he can be recruited, it will be a great boost to the restoration of the country." Li Yuanshan said, he raised his head in the middle of his words After looking at Mu Chongyu's expression, he continued to say slowly: "Although this person used to be quiet and mediocre when I was in Dayan, I didn't even notice him when Beiyu invaded, but now I can't think about it." It’s just keeping a low profile.”

Mu Chongyu looked at him with raised eyebrows, and had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure, so he asked, "Who is it?"

"Xuan Wang Mu Yuan." Li Yuanshan stroked his beard and said leisurely.

Mu Chongyu was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant.

Mu Yuan was the first emperor's cousin, that is, his cousin, who was entrusted to a wealthy place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it is indeed possible to accumulate the power to provoke the situation.

However, Mu Yuan, even Mu Yuan's father, is an extremely contradictory existence for Mu Chongyu and his late father.Because if it wasn't for God's will to trick people, Mu Yuan should have inherited the throne and became the monarch of Nanyan.

At that time, the late emperor's father, that is, Mu Chongyu's grandfather Mu Yan was not the eldest son, so he should not be qualified to inherit the throne. Unfortunately, the eldest son Mu Chi was disabled and lost the dignity of the heavenly family, so he could not go to court. He met all civil and military officials, so he missed the throne and gave way to the talented Mu Yan.

Mu Yan felt that the throne was a gift from heaven, and he was ashamed to accept it, so he rewarded Mu Chi in every possible way to appease him, and even gave Mu Chi the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a fiefdom.

This is still the case during Mu Chongyu's father's reign.Instead of exempting him from the responsibility of enshrining in the court, he has to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang every year to reward a lot of items bestowed by the emperor to show his appeasement.

Fortunately, neither Mu Chi nor his son Mu Yuan had any rebellious intentions.On the contrary, it is peaceful and peaceful, without contending with the world.

Mu Chongyu remembered that Mu Yuan was a person who liked to play mountains and rivers, drink tea and play chess. He always wore blue clothes, and instead of wearing a crown of gold beads on his head, he wore a crown of moon-white jade. Is a literati.Every time he enters the palace, he doesn't talk about government affairs with him, but only asks him about his health and chats about anecdotes about the world.

It was precisely because Mu Yuan was too aloof from the world that when Beiyu invaded, he did not go deep into the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, so he was not harmed.

Would such a person run around planning for the restoration of the country now?Mu Chongyu is two points jealous of him, but eight points is hesitant.

However, Li Yuanshan's news should be reliable. Although he is a civil servant, he is very scheming, and Mu Chongyu often asked him for many things in the court.Besides, there is no better way now.

Mu Chongyu discussed some details with everyone, and finally decided to go south three days later to find King Xuan Mu Yuan.

Everyone had no objection, but Xue Jinghong was surprised when he found out.

Mu Yuan was the one who finally destroyed Beiyu and broke through the capital of Beiyu in the last life, and it was also his soldiers who caused his decapitation to be killed in Huangquan.
