I don't want to return

Fortunately, within ten days, there was a reply.The shopkeeper of the silk and satin village asked someone to send a message to the inn where Mu Chongyu lived, saying that their boss wanted to see him.

Mu Chongyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed on a time and place with the other party, and began to prepare.

Although he was the former owner of Nanyan, the general situation of the world has changed now, and he has long lost the authority he had back then.Although Mu Yuan is likely to be running for the restoration of the country, he doesn't have to follow him.

But no matter what, with the great ambition of restoring the country ahead, the grievances between him and Mu Yuan's family should be put aside for the time being, so that they can work together and get twice the result with half the effort.Otherwise, if it is in a state of scattered sand, how can it defeat the strong troops of Beiyu?

If Mu Yuan can be united, it's okay for him to make some concessions when necessary.

On this day, Mu Chongyu, to show his sincerity, only brought Shen Qing, Li Yuanshan, Chen Kang and seven or eight guards to follow him, and he meandered all the way to a private house.The rest of the people did not enter the city, but scattered in several towns outside Lin'an City, waiting for news.Xue Jinghong was worried, so he secretly followed behind Mu Chongyu.

But I saw that this private house looked inconspicuous from the outside, but once inside, it was a world of its own.

The blue bricks and tiles are connected with the smoke-colored pavilions, and the gurgling water passes between the green bamboos and the early-blooming red apricots, attracting a sense of spring.Looking into the depths, you can see the water pavilions and Minglou, the willows supporting the branches, and the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River can be seen in a trance.

Such a beautiful scene made Mu Chongyu's thoughts drift away suddenly, as if the place under his feet was not Lin'an, but Jinling back then.

Just at this time, a person turned around the corridor and strode towards Mu Chongyu from the water pavilion on the opposite bank.

Mu Chongyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, and walked up, secretly sizing up the man.

The man was no different from the memory, tall and tall, wearing a blue dark satin robe with silver patterns, his jet-black hair was tucked into the plain white jade crown, his handsome face was unsmiling, only his pair of black The smile of the long-lost reunion can be seen in the eyes.

After so many years, no matter whether it is war or destruction of the country, this person has not been stained with hardships and exhaustion. On the contrary, he is like a pearl, which has been honed more and more mature.

Mu Chongyu stood a foot away from the other party, and he unconsciously felt respect. He bowed his head and saluted: "I have met Uncle Xuan Wang."

Mu Yuan's voice came from above his head: "It's been a long time, see you today, Your Majesty seems to have grown a lot."

The voice was neither fast nor slow, it seemed to be a compliment and a serious scrutiny, but for some reason, it suddenly made Mu Chongyu's face feel hot.

It was as if in front of this person, his armor was suddenly removed, and he became the unscathed young monarch a few years ago.

He hurriedly raised his head, and unexpectedly, he bumped into a pair of eyes full of emotion.

Mu Chongyu couldn't help being stunned, and heard the voice sound again: "Your Majesty has come all the way to find me. One can imagine the hardships of the journey, and I have prepared some banquets, all of which are famous dishes in Lin'an, especially for His Majesty. "

As he spoke, he turned his body slightly, revealing the maid not far behind him, who was back and forth on the pavilion preparing the banquet.

Mu Chongyu blinked, not knowing how to thank him for a moment.

Mu Yuan seemed to have prepared everything extremely thoughtfully and meticulously, so thoughtful that Mu Chongyu was a little at a loss.He even asked Mu Chongyu's preferences many times, and kept ordering the kitchen to prepare new dishes.

Mu Chongyu felt slightly embarrassed and repeatedly declined, but Mu Yuan just waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

Shen Qing and the others seemed to be very satisfied with the banquet. The journey was full of dust and dust. Although they rested for a few days after arriving in Lin'an, how could the food in the inn compare to that here?A few people ate and drank to their heart's content.

Before I knew it, it was evening.Mu Chongyu and his party wanted to stand up and leave, but Mu Yuan wanted them to stay, and the address he called Mu Chongyu unconsciously changed from "Your Majesty" to "Chongyu".

"Since Chongyu has come to me, how can there be any reason to stay in an inn? My place covers an area of ​​more than a hundred acres, and the rooms have already been cleaned up. I just wait for you to stay. The rooms for General Shen and others are also ready. I must return There should be other people nearby, right? If they are willing, tomorrow I will start to arrange them one by one, and place them in my bank and silk shop, so that no one will find out. Chongyu, look how good it is ?”

Mu Yuan's voice was low and warm, and Mu Chongyu couldn't help being moved when he narrated in such an eloquent manner.The reason they found Lin'an this time was to meet up with Mu Yuan and use Mu Yuan's influence to seek the great cause of restoring the country bit by bit.If you live here, you can slowly ask Mu Yuan about his intentions.

Mu Yuan watched Mu Chongyu's expression, and smiled slowly: "Chongyu, we have been separated for many years, it's time for you and me to catch up on the past."

Mu Chongyu was taken aback for a moment.He has been away for so many years, except for Shen Qing and his old colleagues, he really has never seen other old people.

Such a sentence evoked many emotions in him, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and replied with a smile: "That's fine. Then I will trouble Uncle Xuan."

Xue Jinghong, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt a thump in his heart for some reason.He wanted to go up to follow Mu Chongyu, but he had already been spotted by Mu Yuan's maid, and he was led to the guest room in the side courtyard.

Xue Jinghong had no choice but to follow the maids for the time being.Fortunately, after staying here, Xue Jinghong looked around and found no danger.

Maybe I really thought too much?Xue Jinghong sighed lowly, wishing so.

However, Mu Yuan gave him a very difficult feeling.Although he looks very handsome, he is somewhat similar to Mu Chongyu, and his temperament is also as gentle as jade, but if you observe carefully, you will find that Mu Yuan's gentleness is like the surface of a lake with hidden undercurrents, peaceful on the surface Beautiful, but people can't see the depth inside.

And Mu Chongyu is like a piece of finely polished Hetian jade, which is warm when held, making people not want to leave once touched.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinghong tossed and turned a little bit, but he had no choice but to remind himself to pay more attention to Mu Yuan.

Over there, Mu Chongyu was led to a spacious and unique courtyard.Different from the ingenious pavilions, corridors and waterside pavilions before, this place is quiet and simple, with only two apricot trees leaning on both sides of the courtyard.

Mu Chongyu stepped into the main room and took a look. On the left side of the study there were desks, and many books were neatly placed on the bookcase. , there is a bucket of hot water, exuding curling heat.

Is this even the hot soup for bathing?Mu Chongyu was about to turn around to ask, but found that a group of maids who had been following him had already gone out quietly and closed the door.

He smiled helplessly.Uncle Xuan's meticulous but calm care of him made him faintly moved.He walked over, drew the curtains, and took off his clothes.

The temperature of the water is just right, and there seems to be herbs added to relieve fatigue, and there is a faint fragrance of herbs.Mu Chongyu leaned inside, feeling that the exhaustion of the past few days was gone, and a sense of relaxed drowsiness gradually permeated.

He almost couldn't help but fell asleep.It didn't know how long it took before his hazy consciousness was stimulated by the cooling water temperature, and he woke up.

Feeling a little shy, he quickly tidied himself up, simply wiped his body with a towel, then put on a new underwear and stepped out of the tub.

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, and Mu Chongyu looked at the night light coming in from the window, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

The knock on the door rang twice again, and Mu Chongyu was sure, put on a long robe and went to open the door.

It was Mu Yuan standing outside the door.
