Lock Xin

The dungeon was extremely cold, and a layer of dry grass spread on the ground relieved the oozing chill.A ray of sunlight reflected from the narrow skylight and fell in the corner. It was extremely bright and had a faint warmth.

A sturdy figure sat cross-legged against the wall, his robe was slightly stained with dust, but his haughty demeanor remained undiminished.His handsome face was pale and haggard, with fine wrinkles hidden in the corners of his eyes, and his sharp eyes were full of vicissitudes.

There was a faint light in the deep and dark corridor, the sound of footsteps approaching, and the sound of the iron chain hitting the railing was extremely loud in the silent cell.

Yeluning walked into the cell door with black boots stepping on the weeds, his luxurious clothes further highlighted his slender and straight figure, his cold and serious face showed a trace of majesty.

"My subordinates refer to the Lord." King Mu got up and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"King Mu doesn't need to be too polite." Yeluning stretched out his hand to support King Mu's left shoulder. He looked at the faint blood oozing from King Mu's clothes, and frowned slightly, "King Mu has worked hard these past few days."

"As the leader of the president, it is the subordinate's duty to guard the imperial city, so how can you talk about hard work?" King Mu got up and stood in front of Yeluning, lowering his head slightly.

"The dungeon is cold and damp, which is not conducive to wound healing. This bottle is a good medicine for golden sores. Applying it on the wound can relieve a little pain." Yeluning took out the porcelain bottle in his arms and handed it to the person in front of him.King Mu is old and has many old wounds on his body. He might be in excruciating pain when he goes to the dungeon. Even if he has sent someone to tidy up the cell, it won't have a good effect.

"It's just some small wounds, and it will heal in a few days." Mu Wanglang said, his voice was very strong and powerful. He has been in the battlefield for many years, and he has never taken this small scratch on his body to heart.

"Minor illnesses are more difficult to cure if they are not cured for a long time. King Mu is old and his body is not as strong as when he was young. It is better to pay more attention." Yeluning looked at King Mu's slightly aged face. If King Mu had chosen Yeluhong back then, He will not have everything now.

King Mu sighed softly, recalling in his mind how he was brave and good at fighting in armor, he felt a little sad, he is really old and can't go to the battlefield, but now he can still hold the precious sword in his hand, cut The enemy is dismounted.

"After this incident, King Mu will go back to the mansion to rest and recuperate. He doesn't have to worry about military affairs on the battlefield." The cold expression on Yeluning's face eased a little. King Mu is old and seriously injured, and he is on the battlefield in person. If something happens, how will he explain to his aunt who loved him since childhood.

"The loyalty of the subordinates to the Lord can be learned from heaven and earth." King Mu was startled, and knelt on the ground on one knee. He was afraid that the Lord would listen to the villain's slander and be more careful in everything. Unexpectedly, the Lord still became suspicious of him. .

"I know King Mu's loyalty to the court, but King Mu is old, and his old wounds often hurt, so he is not suitable for fighting the enemy." Yeluning leaned over to help King Mu, "Xiaoqi has lost a relative , is Mu Wang willing to let her lose her only relative, leaving her to live alone in the world?"

"If King Mu doesn't worry about letting go of military affairs completely, he can stay in the mansion to deal with some urgent military affairs." Yeluning patted King Mu on the shoulder, and slowly put down his hand, making King Mu suddenly become an idle prince at home, naturally in his heart Some couldn't bear it, of course he would take into account King Mu's mood and take it slowly step by step until he completely regained his military power.

King Mu looked at Yeluning's calm face without joy or anger, and he didn't know Yeluning's true thoughts, but he had never done anything to betray the Lord, and it was enough to have a clear heart.

"Thank you, Lord." King Mu lowered his head slightly, he only had an only daughter, and he was going to marry in the future, and it didn't make any sense to hold the military power tightly in his hands, but he still felt a little empty in his heart when he suddenly left the battlefield.

Forget it, it is enough to exchange the military power in his hands for the peace of mind of the Lord, and it is enough to leave him to enjoy his old age in peace for the rest of his life, but how can he be such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.King Mu shook his head slightly, and swallowed the words in his mouth. Since the Lord has made up his mind, it is useless for him to dissuade him.

"The dungeon is very cold at night. I will send someone to put some bedding. King Mu will take good care of himself." Yeluning turned and walked towards the door of the cell. Perhaps it was too cruel for him to treat the veteran who had fought for him half his life in this way, but King Mu could have a In a stable old age, it is enough to feel the happiness of grandson by his side.

"My lord." King Mu stepped forward and took a few steps.

"What else is there for King Mu?" Yeluning turned around and looked at King Mu's old face, with a trace of silver hair mixed between his temples.

"Xiaoqi has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and her temperament is very arrogant and domineering. I beg the Lord for the sake of my many years of fighting in the battlefield. Don't be as knowledgeable as Xiaoqi. After I return home, I will definitely discipline me strictly." Mu Wang He lowered his head slightly, he didn't want to know how Xiaoqi went to the imperial city every day to guard in front of the door and cry during the days he left.Although the master can tolerate for a while, he can't bear Xiao Qi's unreasonable troubles for a long time. He is worried that Xiao Qi will anger the master, and if the master orders heavy punishment, it will hurt the feelings.

"It's nothing, Xiaoqi is just crying for a few days, and she will calm down in a few days." Yeluning waved his hand, he stayed in the study every day to deal with the scrolls, so naturally he would not be bothered by Mu Qi, but It's hard for the guards who guard the door.

"King Mu doesn't have to worry too much about Xiaoqi's safety, I have already sent someone to bring her into the imperial city." Yeluning could see a trace of worry in King Mu's eyes.

"After this matter is over, I will choose the right person to give Mu Qi a marriage." Yeluning looked at the narrow skylight in the distance, maybe Mu Qi will be able to calm down after getting married, and won't miss him all day long.

"Thank you for your trouble." King Mu nodded, he only hoped that Xiaoqi could live a safe life, but who could bear Xiaoqi's arrogant temper.

Yeluning walked out of the cell door, and Zixin followed Yeluning.Although there wasn't any cold wind in the long corridor, there was a faint chill, which slowly soaked into the skin, and Zixin couldn't help getting closer to Yeluning.

Yeluning raised his hand to hold Zixin's fingertips, exerting a little strength.

"My lord is really concerned about King Mu's body, and King Mu won't be chilled by it." Zi Xin comforted softly. He saw that the face that had been through vicissitudes had aged a lot just now. Maybe King Mu would not be able to bear the sudden drop, but he also I can understand what Yeluning is thinking.

"Zi Xin's words are a bit duplicity." Yeluning wrapped his arms around Zi Xin's waist and squeezed it lightly. When his father was alive, he let Pan Wang hold the military power, and finally ended up with the result of the Huns' civil war. He didn't want to repeat the same thing. The father's wrong path caused Chen'er to suffer a lot.

"I'm sincere." Zi Xin's voice changed slightly, he reached out and grabbed Yeluning's fingertips wandering around.

"Shouldn't the lord think about the marriage of the princess? I don't want to see her coming to the imperial city to pester you every day." Zi Xin looked at the trace of guilt in Yeluning's eyes and quickly changed the topic. No need to think about it anymore, the more you think about it, the more you will be fettered.

Yeluning, who used to be cruel, would not think about this, perhaps because he gave birth to Chen'er himself, and his heart gradually softened.

"I originally wanted to betroth her to Gai Xiong," Yeluning said casually. Years of subordinates have been suffering more and more.

But he didn't expect that Gai Xiong was with Wang Mo, and was crushed by that thin Central Plains boy.Yeluning looked at Gai Xiong's bulging belly full of disbelief, but Gai Xiong had a nonchalant expression, as if it was natural for him to have a child.

"What, the lord really meant that." Zixin felt a little nervous. Although she was a good match, if Mu Qi stepped into the gate of the general's mansion, could Wang Mo continue to stay.Zixin also didn't want to see Wang Moyi's eyes full of pain.

"I'm just talking casually." Yeluning smiled, he had watched Gai Xiong insist on blocking him from marrying Zi Xin, and really thought about marrying Mu Qi to Gai Xiong.

"Zi Xin has already learned about Gai Xiong." Seeing Zi Xin's tight expression, Ye Luning vaguely understood in his heart that during those days when Zi Xin lived in the general's mansion, perhaps he had already discovered the affection between them.

"Zixin is willing to let Wang Mo stay." Yeluning asked loudly, now that the news of Gai Xiong's adoption of a male favorite is spreading in the court, Wang Mo is also infamous.And Yeluning remembered that when Zi Xin came to the Huns, he only brought Wang Mo as an entourage, and he had a very deep relationship with Wang Mo. He even threatened Zi Xin with Wang Mo's life. Wang Mo endured this grievance.

"So what if you don't want to, Xiao Mo has already decided to stay, I can't give an order to drive him away." Zi Xin sighed, and he couldn't do the kind of thing that beats mandarin ducks, but it's a pity that Xiao Mo has nothing to do. Full of affection, but Gai Xiong can't see through his own thoughts.

"Zi Xin don't need to worry too much, Gai Xiong will treat Wang Mo well." Ye Luning patted Zi Xin's shoulder lightly, if Gai Xiong didn't really love Wang Mo, he would never be willing to keep the child in his womb.Yeluning recalled that when Gai Xiong stood beside him to discuss matters, there was a faint smile on his face, and his tough face softened a lot.

"I hope so." Wang Mo had a miserable life experience since he was a child, and it was hard to find his beloved. Zi Xin hoped that Wang Mo and Gai Xiong would go on forever, and that they would not encounter too many turmoil in this life.

After walking out of the dungeon, the weather outside was extremely clear, and patches of sunlight fell on the faces of the two of them, making them very warm. "My lord, I feel better." Zi Xin looked sideways at Yeluning's face.

Yeluning nodded, and stretched out his arms to embrace the beauty, his mood would naturally be more comfortable.

"Then can you put your hands down?" Zixin's collar was untied, and it hung down loosely, revealing a large area of ​​skin on his chest. He watched Yeluning reach into the front of his shirt and caress the knuckles on his chest .

"Is Zixin in love?" Yeluning hugged Zixin's shoulders and whispered in his ear, his voice was extremely low and charming.

Zixin looked at the maid walking by in the distance, let go of Yeluning's hands and stood far away.

Seeing the blush on Zixin's cheeks, Yeluning smiled slightly, with an unusually gentle look in his eyes.
