I don't want to return

Mu Yuan looked him up and down a few times, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you come out without putting on your clothes? Be careful of catching a cold."

He walked in across the threshold, his eyes fell on Mu Chongyu's dripping hair again, and he squinted: "I don't even dry my hair."

Mu Chongyu blushed, and hurriedly said: "Chongyu is rude." He turned around and was going to get the towel beside the tub, but Mu Yuan took a step earlier and took out a cotton handkerchief from his bosom. , gently stroked Mu Chongyu's hair that was soaked in water and was as black as ink.

"Sit down." Mu Yuan pressed Mu Chongyu's shoulder with one hand, the strength was not strong but enough to move his posture.

Mu Chongyu felt something was wrong, he frowned and raised his eyes to look at Mu Yuan, but he couldn't see any abnormality on his face, as if what the other party was going to do was normal, and he was the one who made a fuss.

He had to take advantage of the situation and sit on the stool.

Mu Yuan stood behind Mu Chongyu, not too far or close to him, only the wide sleeves touched Mu Chongyu's back from time to time during his movements.

He held Mu Chongyu's waist-length black hair in one hand, and wiped off the towel inch by inch from the top of his head with the other hand. Although his movements were rough and clumsy, he was extremely careful.

Mu Chongyu sat there stiffly.There is an inexplicable sense of strangeness slowly rising up.His spine couldn't help but tremble slightly.But Mu Yuan scolded softly: "Don't move."

Mu Chongyu quickly sat down, not daring to move.The room was very quiet, and the sound of water dripping on the ground could be heard.

After a long time, Mu Yuan's voice came from above his head: "Chongyu..."

Mu Chongyu waited for a while, but didn't hear the next sentence, so he asked, "Uncle Xuan Wang?"

Mu Yuan sighed leisurely, the blue silk under his hand has been wiped off the water stains, and it feels soft to the touch.He stroked it lightly with his fingers, but he couldn't put it down: "I didn't expect you to escape from Beiyu."

"It's hard to live in Beiyu." He paused, picked up a long dress from the bed and handed it to Mu Chongyu, motioning him to put it on. "I remember that you were always afraid of the cold when you were young, and you came here with rich clothes and good food since you were young. The climate in Beiyu is cold, so you must have suffered a lot."

When Mu Yuan said this, he seemed to be lost in memory.After a long while, he sighed faintly, sat across from Mu Chongyu, looked at him and asked, "Back then, when Jinling was in flames of war, I didn't fight for the king, but watched you being taken away by Beiyu people. , became a prisoner. For this, have you ever hated me?"

When he said this, those eyes as deep as a black pool were in a trance with a little wave.

Mu Chongyu remained silent, and his thoughts were brought back to the last battle, under the city of Jinling, the real blood stained the country, and the world was eclipsed.

After what seemed like a long time, he finally shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Xuan has the same difficulties as Uncle Xuan." Maybe Mu Yuan still had feelings for him back then, or maybe the other party was just out of the principle of being wise and safe, no matter what It was a thing of the past, and he didn't want to bring it up again.

Mu Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief quietly, curling his fingers on the table slightly.Just as he was about to say something, he heard Mu Chongyu say: "As long as Uncle Xuan Wang can discern the situation and make up his mind now, that's fine."

Mu Chongyu leaned slightly, looking at the person who made him unable to detect the depth, half probing and half hoping: "Chongyu took the risk of bringing his brothers here this time, what is he plotting, must have been known by Uncle Xuan. It is clear. As long as Uncle Xuan Wang is willing to help Chongyu, I believe that Nanyan's restoration of the country will be just around the corner."

He lowered his voice, which made his originally clear and clear voice a little hoarse.

"At that time, Uncle Xuan Wang will be an inexhaustible hero in the restoration of the country. Not only worshiping jade, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world will thank Uncle Xuan Wang, and Uncle Wang's achievements will be remembered in history, and will be praised for generations to come. go down."

Those eyes, which were as dark as midnight, were more like stars lit up, with a little bit of light, which made people unable to look away.

Mu Yuan stared down at Mu Chongyu like this, half-closed his eyes.

He has always known what kind of person Mu Chongyu is.Since she was a child, she was loved by everyone in the deep palace, and was taught by the best teacher. Mu Chongyu has all the benevolence, morality and Confucian governance skills that an emperor needs.

Such Mu Chongyu once made him yearn deeply.Because his father, like Mu Chongyu, had enjoyed all of this.

But it was all of these that created his father's dismal second half of his life, and caused Mu Chongyu's shame of being destroyed by the country.

As for Mu Chongyu, his personality has not changed at all.He was like a lamb with all defenses removed, soft and innocent, so he couldn't help but wanted to tease him.

Just like in the imperial city back then.

Mu Yuan looked at him with a kind of affectionate and somewhat funny eyes, and said: "I will consider what Chongyu said. But restoring the country is difficult and dangerous, and we need to plan it slowly."

He uttered the last few words slowly, with an imperceptible sarcasm in his voice.

Mu Chongyu vaguely felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it, and just said hello softly.

In the middle of the night, when the bright moon hung above the treetops, Mu Yuan got up to say goodbye, but when he stepped out of the other courtyard, he heard a rustling movement.

"Who?" He stopped in his tracks and gave a low shout, the gentle expression in his eyes faded away, revealing the original awe-inspiring look.

The shadow of the tree under the moonlight swayed a few times with the wind, but no one could be seen.Mu Yuan felt something, and fixed his eyes firmly on the back of an ancient willow.After a long time, when the wind calmed down and the trees stopped, he looked away and left without any change, as if nothing had happened.

Xue Jinghong walked out from behind Gu Liu, with a deep expression on his face.

He lay alone in the room at night thinking about it, and really couldn't sleep.Mu Yuan made him feel too strange, especially the way he looked at Mu Chongyu, which was definitely not the kindness and concern on the surface.He must have other plans.

So worried, he simply got up and searched the house, and finally found where Mu Chongyu was.

The door was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard.He thought that Mu Chongyu was probably asleep, so he didn't knock on the door to disturb him, but just quietly stood aside.

Since Mu Chongyu arrived in Lin'an, he has been busy inquiring about news, and Xue Jinghong has not been with him for many days.Now that he is in this unpredictable and dangerous place, he doesn't want to be too far away from Mu Chongyu.

After a while, he saw Mu Yuan coming.

Xue Jinghong's heart tightened immediately.It was already nightfall, but Mu Yuan came here specially, which made him feel suspicious.So he crouched outside, planning to rush in if there was anything abnormal inside.

Fortunately, Mu Yuan didn't stay for long, Xue Jinghong relaxed a little, but Mu Yuan almost saw through his tracks.

The look in Xue Jinghong's eyes became more and more complicated, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.After he turned around and entered the courtyard to confirm Mu Chongyu's safety, he stayed for a while until the man fell asleep before returning to his room.

Unexpectedly, that night, Xue Jinghong encountered an assassin.
