I don't want to return

"If one day in the future we have to return to the capital of Beiyu, it must be the soldiers of my Dayan who will go there and kill them, so that they can bear the shame of Jinling City being destroyed." Mu Chongyu paused for a moment, slowly typical.

Shen Qing, who was watching from the side, also strode over when he heard this. He plunged the sword in his hand into the soil, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and tensed his spine: "That's right. Jinling City is broken. The shame is deep in my heart, if I want to go back to the Beiyu Imperial Capital, I have to kill it to go back. Otherwise, I will swear to the death that I will not step into the Beiyu Imperial Capital!"

All the people waiting at the side were shocked when they heard this, and followed Shen Qing's movements and knelt down, all agreeing.

Xue Jinghong's face flashed with embarrassment for a moment.He didn't seem to have expected that this move would provoke such a reaction from them, he froze for a moment, his brows furrowed.

Mu Chongyu noticed Xue Jinghong's face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, but what was stronger and more intense than this unbearable was the unwillingness and shame that had accumulated in his heart over the past few years.

He turned his head, stopped looking at him, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, as you can see. Although we Nanyan people are in a miserable situation, we are unwilling to go back to the golden cage to be slaughtered by others. Therefore, this matter It's better not to mention it again."

Even if Xue Jinghong was kind to him again, and expressed his willingness to treat them kindly and return the territory of Nanyan, Mu Chongyu would not easily step into the range of the enemy's strongest force as before.

It's not that he doubted Xue Jinghong's guarantee, but that he had to leave some leeway for himself.

After experiencing all kinds of great changes, all kinds of hope and disappointment, despair and struggle, Mu Chongyu and everyone here have come to realize that passively relying on others is bound to end in a tragic end. In troubled times, only oneself can be trusted .

Xue Jinghong remained silent.He already understood what Mu Chongyu meant, and the corners of his mouth became even more bitter.

He once personally shattered Chongyu's expectation and trust in him, and it must be extremely difficult to restore it.In the current situation, he can't force Mu Chongyu, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

But Xue Jinghong was absolutely worried about Mu Chongyu's adventure in Jinling.

Jinling is the most powerful military town of the Yan faction. Mu Chongyu and his party are only a few hundred people.

At the end of the last life, Jinling City was reduced to a hell where the Yan Sect slaughtered the Nanyan Rebels, bloody and smoke filled the sky.

Xue Jinghong pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "If you don't go back to Beijing, how about going to Yuzhou?" He looked into Mu Chongyu's eyes, and said tentatively: "Yuzhou is adjacent to the capital in the northwest and Jiangdong in the southeast. Going forward, I can send you from the capital." People will protect you, if you step back, you can inquire about the news of Nanyan's survivors from Jiangdong. This is the best of both worlds."

"Besides, Yuzhou is not like the Jinling and Jingchu areas. The Yan faction is weak there, and rebels are not often seen there. It should be the calmest and safest place. Yuzhou Mu also resigned three months ago due to business, and the position is vacant. There is only one other driver representing the state affairs."

"Chongyu, since you don't want to go back to the imperial capital with me, why don't you just wrong you to be a shepherd of Yuzhou?" Xue Jinghong said cautiously: "It's just that the situation is uncertain now, and the Yan faction in the court is stubborn, so it's not appropriate to say anything. First of all, I have to wrong you to hide your name and change your identity. If you agree, I will go to Yuzhou with you first, and when I see Yuzhou, don’t drive away, and personally send an order to let him entrust you with all the affairs."

The previous jade token was left on the ground before jumping into the river, and besides a robe, he has nothing else to prove his identity.But Yuzhou Biejia knew him, so he was a fourth-rank official after all, and had to follow Yuzhou Mu to Beijing once every six months to report on his duties.

So it is safest for him to go to Yuzhou with Chongyu.

Mu Chongyu looked surprised.He didn't expect Xue Jinghong to think so much about himself.Yuzhou has a vast territory and occupies the fertile soil of the Yellow River. Although it is not as rich as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is not bad.Moreover, as Xue Jinghong said, Yuzhou is located in the middle of the world, which is very important to the Beiyu regime.

But Xue Jinghong wanted to hand over such an important Yuzhou to himself.

Mu Chongyu said hesitantly: "Although Yuzhou is not an important military town, there are also troops stationed there. The political system of Beiyu is different from that of Nanyan. It has always been a prefecture with the sole power of the state and can control the military power. If you let me be the shepherd of Yuzhou, you are not afraid that I will take over All the troops stationed in Yuzhou have been trained to become my own soldiers in Nanyan?"

Xue Jinghong smiled, as if he was very serious and didn't seem to care much: "In the future, I will return the whole Nanyan to you, so why would I care about the troops stationed in Yuzhou? What's more, I just hope that you can cultivate your own troops. "

Mu Chongyu and the others are right to worry. Relying on others can often lead to a passive situation. Only when one is strong can one find a foothold in troubled times.

He had ignored this before, thinking that as long as he treated Mu Chongyu and Mu Chongyu's subordinates well, and followed suit, the entire Beiyu court would treat these Nanyan people kindly.But the fact is just the opposite.Once there is a place that I can't take care of, people with ulterior motives will find an opportunity to take advantage of it, which is not good for Chongyu.

This was the case in the last life, which caused Chongyu to suffer a lot.

In this life, he cannot repeat the same mistakes again.

If he wanted to protect Chongyu, he would not only take care of him secretly, but also let Mu Chongyu expand his strength.After encountering Xu Lihui and Mu Yuan's generation, he can no longer rest assured that those who pretend to be Nanyan former ministers but actually have evil intentions, let alone Mu Chongyu who will be disturbed in Jinling.

After much deliberation, the only way to go to Yuzhou is a little more appropriate.

Of course, even if Mu Chongyu could settle down in Yuzhou, he couldn't be completely relieved.He wanted to get rid of the Yan faction as soon as possible, which was beneficial to both Nanyan and Yu Beiyu.

Therefore... I am afraid that after arriving in Yuzhou, he will have to really part with Mu Chongyu.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinghong couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he concealed it well.He just raised his eyes and looked at Mu Chongyu with nostalgia.

Mu Chongyu was surprised by Xue Jinghong's words.

This person said... I hope I can cultivate my own troops...

Who else in this world would be so stupid as to hope that his opponent would become stronger?

Mu Chongyu opened his eyes wide, and the defensiveness and indifference in his eyes were replaced by a momentary ignorance, staring blankly at Xue Jinghong.

Returning the land of Nanyan to him, he can really regard it as Xue Jinghong's temporary weariness of the war, or the so-called "repentance", but he can also give him the troops under his rule, and Mu Chongyu will really Some of them couldn't understand what Xue Jinghong was thinking.

Isn't this person afraid that he will bite back?What if his ambitions were not limited to recovering Nanyan, what if he was a treacherous person who took advantage of Xue Jinghong's trust and took the opportunity to approach the imperial capital of Dayu to take revenge?

Does this person not even have the slightest defense against himself?

Xue Jinghong's expression obviously answered this point.For some reason, he suddenly bent his lips into a smile, and then stretched out his hand to touch his temple.

It turned out that there was a lock of hair hanging down there.For some reason, Mu Chongyu didn't dodge the opponent's movements, but just felt the big hand with well-articulated joints motionless, rubbing his cheek as if nothing, and tucking the lock of hair behind his ear.

The heart seemed to be teased by someone, and it skipped a beat. Mu Chongyu wandered his eyes in a panic, and finally took a step back.

Xue Jinghong didn't care, but withdrew his hand with some reluctance, then turned to Shen Qing and said, "General Shen, do you think this proposal is okay?"
