[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

A few days later, it was also snowing in Zhongdu.

The Wanli Temple is hidden in the vast white snow. Tan Muqiu thought it was cute when he saw it, and he wanted to stay here again.But thinking that there might not even be a charcoal basin in the monastery, he dismissed this thought.

"I can send you back to the palace directly, and let Wuyun recover his appearance before leaving the palace. There is no need to go through all this trouble." Zhao Qingming said.

Tan Muqiu touched Hongfeng's head, and said: "I want to put Hongfeng in Wanli Temple first, and let Wuyun take care of it for me first. Moreover, I also want to talk to Wuyun. There are a lot of people here, so it’s not as clean as here.”

Zhao Qingming stopped talking when he heard the words, but kept looking at Hongfeng, seeing that Hongfeng was too close to this "new master", he couldn't help frowning with displeasure on his face.

Shang waited to enter the palace to send a message to Zhao Duanwu. After the other party learned that Zhao Qingming and Zhao Qingming had returned to Zhongdu, they happily took Wuyun out of the palace and went straight to Wanli Temple.

Tan Muqiu was tired all the way, and was dozing off on the futon when Wuyun and Zhao Duanwu arrived.

"Uh... this is it?" Zhao Duanwu looked at Tan Muqiu, who was in a ball, and saw that Zhao Qingming didn't deny it, so he wanted to salute.

"There's no need to be too polite." Tan Muqiu waved his hands hurriedly, signaling Wuyun to help him restore his appearance quickly.This disguised "mask" has been stuck to his face for too long, and his whole face is a little numb.

Wuyun used water to clean Qin Muqiu's face first, and then poured hot water to let him wash his face. After Tan Muqiu recovered his original appearance, he helped Zhao Qingming and himself clean up.

Zhao Duanwu watched with great interest.Although he was the son of Zhao Shuo, the first grader in the dynasty, he had been studying and practicing martial arts in the Zhao residence since he was a child, and he had never entered the palace as a companion for the prince like Zhao Qingming.As an adult, he had no intention of official career and was weak and sick, so he stayed at home all the time.

Before that, he had never even seen the face of the emperor.This is a rare exception among the princes of the Hou's Mansion in the central capital.

"Master Wuyun's craftsmanship is really superb. These days, I have been facing him every day. Now that I see His Majesty's real face, it is indeed exactly the same as Master Wuyun's appearance after changing his face." Zhao Duanwu said with emotion.

When Qin Muqiu and Zhao Qingming left the central capital, Zhao Duanwu went directly to Wanli Temple to pick up Wuyun into the palace, so he never met Qin Muqiu face to face.When I saw it today, Tan Muqiu was amazed.

"I remember that your appearance was different from your brother's when you were young. On the contrary, when you grow up, you grow more and more like him. If you don't look carefully, even I can't tell the difference." Tan Muqiu said.

"Your Majesty saw me when you were young?" Zhao Duanwu asked puzzled.

"Of course I did. You..." Tan Muqiu suddenly realized that he was Li Yu instead of Tan Muqiu, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Eunuch Rong An has been talking about you a lot these days. After knowing that you have returned to Zhongdu, he will be the happiest person." Wu Yun said.

"Oh... that's right." Tan Muqiu got up and patted his clothes, forgetting why he came here for a moment, and greeted Zhao Qingming to return to the palace.

Zhao Qingming frowned and glanced at Wuyun, unable to guess why there was a tacit understanding between the other party and Tan Muqiu.Zhao Duanwu stared at Tan Muqiu, secretly guessing whether the other party sneaked into him in disguise.Could it be that the emperor of Dayu has a habit of changing his appearance?

Tan Muqiu didn't think of Hongfeng until he got out of the room, and he turned to Wuyun and said, "I brought the horse back and put it in the temple to raise it first. You can take care of it for me, don't make any mistakes." Then he turned to Wuyun Zhao Qingming said: "Tomorrow you will send someone to bring some fodder, and then send someone to help Hongfeng build a stable."

Zhao Qingming answered in a hurry.

Wuyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Qingming, who shrugged.

Wuyun raised his eyebrows and said: "If your Majesty just doesn't want to keep the horse in the palace, there are many good choices. Put it in the evil temple, the journey is far away, and it will take a lot of trouble to see it."

Zhao Duanwu on the side nodded in agreement, and said: "Your Majesty must bring back a rare good horse. Master Wuyun is not familiar with raising horses, so mistakes are inevitable. If Your Majesty is at ease, it is better to put the horse in the Zhao Fu, my brother has always loved horses, and there is an idle stable at home." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wu Yun, who raised his eyebrows at him in admiration.

"That's good, Zhao's mansion is close. If I miss Hongfeng, I can go to see it at any time. I'll leave this to you." Tan Muqiu patted Zhao Duanwu's shoulder, and immediately made a happy decision.

Zhao Qingming gave his younger brother a cold look, and then left with Tan Muqiu.

Wuyun finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "This poor monk owes you a favor."

Zhao Duanwu smiled and said, "I'm not for you, you don't have to accept this kind of love."

The two entered the room, and Zhao Duanwu sat down cross-legged, not intending to say goodbye at all.After Wu Yun also sat down, he said, "Do you know who Hong Feng is?"

"Isn't it just a horse, you said it once when you entered the monastery." Wuyun said.

"I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't come here to tell you in detail." Zhao Duanwu adjusted a comfortable sitting posture, and said mysteriously: "Hongfeng is the mount of the commander of the Hongfeng Camp. The news just came two days ago. In the Battle of Guzhou...the one who died in battle."

"Qin Muqiu." Wuyun said.

"That's right." Zhao Duanwu sighed, and said: "I have liked Hongfeng since I was a child, and I have always wanted to ride it one day. This time I finally have a chance, and His Majesty agreed to keep Hongfeng in my house." He said On the surface he said he was happy, but on the surface he felt a little sad.

Wuyun looked at Zhao Duanwu, and understood in his heart that since the other party had friendship with Qin Muqiu when he was young, he must have acted because he couldn't bear to see Hongfeng change hands in this way.

Tan Muqiu was a little absent-minded all the way, and only after entering the palace gate did he realize that he forgot to talk to Wuyun.Immediately, I felt a little dazed, so what if I asked Wuyun to talk, although Wuyun saw things quite clearly, but he was not a person who foresaw.

I thought that going to Guzhou this time would bring things back to the way they were before. He was still General Hongfeng, so Li Yue could do whatever he wanted, and whether he died or lived had nothing to do with him.

However, this imperial palace seemed to be an inescapable fate. It took a detour and returned the same way.

"Your Majesty, this servant is expecting you back." Rong An greeted Tan Muqiu from afar.

"I'm in the palace every day, so what do you expect?" Although Tan Muqiu blamed the other party for revealing his whereabouts in words, there was a smile on his face.Rong An was really looking forward to his return, but he hadn't considered Rong An's situation at all before.

Tan Muqiu watched Rong An busy first and then serve him with hot soup and snacks, suddenly he was not so confused.He can survive without returning to Chang Ningjun. Although the important people are not in front of him, there should always be a time to recognize each other.

Tan Muqiu glanced at Zhao Qingming, seeing that he was absent-minded.It seems that the other party has been cold since that night in Guzhou.Thinking of this, Tan Muqiu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. After many years, this person did not have no affection for him.

At least, Zhao Qingming was not indifferent to Tan Muqiu's death.

If a person who abandons himself with such unbelief can show a little sadness for his own death, what about the person who lives and dies with him?

Tan Muqiu suddenly thought of the scene he saw when his soul returned to the Changning army camp more than two months ago. When Li Jin heard the news of his death, he was out of breath and vomited blood and fell into a coma.He also thought of Yu Yun when he was holding his broken armor, and Yan Ji, this stinky Taoist priest who had always been at odds with him, probably would feel sad too.

In the Changning army camp, Tan Muqiu's tent.

Yanji looked at the charcoal basin that had been extinguished for a long time, thought for a long time, and said: "It's the middle of winter, if the prince has no intention of attacking Guzhou for the time being, we might as well retreat to Mao County and make plans after the New Year's Eve."

Yanji's worries are justified. It's cold and freezing, and camping in the wild for a long time means that the military supply load is heavy, and because there is no protection from the city, it is necessary to guard against enemy attacks day and night.

"Yanji, my king had a dream last night." Li Jin answered the wrong question.

"My lord..."

"This king dreamed about Mu Qiu. He said he wanted to come back, but he was afraid that I would not recognize him. His voice and appearance changed in the dream, but I couldn't hear him clearly anyway, and I couldn't see him clearly. face." Li Jin murmured: "I always feel that Mu Qiu is not dead, a living person, how come there is not even a body left?"

Yanji frowned slightly, and said: "Why should the prince be persistent, General Yu saw it with his own eyes..."

"Perhaps his eyes are blurred, the distance is far away, and there are so many fire and thunder." Li Jin said: "This king has been thinking for the past few days, if the person really died, what would they do with Mu Qiu's body? Why did they even pick up the armor? After leaving, only half of the pair was brought back by Yu Yun."

Yanji couldn't figure it out for a while, the fact that the other party took Qin Muqiu's body away was too unreasonable.What made him even more puzzled was that the person who came to the camp that day was so weird that he kept saying that he was Tan Muqiu.But on the day that man came, Tan Muqiu was still in Changning's army.

"Could it be that he took Mu Qiu as a hostage in order to deal with me?" Li Jin asked.

"No." Yanji said: "If Mu Qiu is used to blackmail you, why bother to play Mu Qiu's fake death? It should let you know that Mu Qiu is still alive and in his hands."

Li Jin nodded, his eyes turned cold, and said: "Then there is only one possibility, he will control Mu Qiu, and when I invade the Central Capital, he will use the other party to threaten me. Even if I don't compromise at that time, He can at least find a way to make me miserable."

Yanji frowned when he heard the words, and said: "If he really took Mu Qiu as a hostage, what does the prince plan to do?"

"It's a big deal to change one's life." Li Jin said.
