Rebirth: sailing a thousand times

Mu Qingfeng rubbed his sore and sleepy eyes. These two pieces of paper were the news that Wenxin came back from Fang Xiaoan's hometown, Chuzhou Mansion.

One is the autopsy's autopsy, and the other is the state government office's research and judgment records.

The research and judgment record reads: Mrs. Fang, there are more than ten people in the whole family, except for one son who was left home, the rest were not spared. Hearing any sound, judging from the murder weapon and the wound, there are at least three murderers, and the possibility of a vendetta is high...

There was a line of words on the corpse, which puzzled Mu Qingfeng in particular: Fang Xiaoan and his wife lost less blood, the deadly wound on the corpse was swollen and blood stasis, suspected of frostbite, the murder weapon should be a thin sword one inch wide and two feet long...

Mu Qingfeng tapped the rim of the teacup subconsciously, when Wenxin handed him these two thin pages, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

He didn't expect that Fang Xiao'an died, and his whole family was punished.

After several years of fighting at the border, the death of his parents was always a hurdle that could not be overcome. All the signs showed that Prince Yu was the instigator of his grandfather being framed.However, Prince Yu had met him before he was exiled, and he did not admit that the "counterfeit medicine case" was related to him.

Of course, Mu Qingfeng didn't fully believe what he said, because he couldn't think of anyone other than Prince Yu who was at odds with his father back then.

As time goes by, every time he thinks about it, his instincts are full of doubts. Fang Xiaoan's death can't help but make him more certain. An invisible pen outlines a pair of demon eyes silently watching in the dark.

"My lord", someone whispered outside the door.

Mu Qingfeng heard the voice of Wen Xin, "Come in."

The door opened, and Wen Xin walked in.

He was wearing a white robe, and his hair was still steaming, apparently he had just washed away the dust along the way.

Mu Qingfeng seemed to have expected him to come, leaned back in the chair quietly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under Mu Qingfeng's scrutinizing eyes, Wen Xin's back was a little stiff, and he couldn't help calling softly again, "My lord..."

Mu Qingfeng could tell that he was hesitant to speak from the moment he handed the note into his hands.

"Qingxin, do you have something to say to this king?"

Wen Xin's fingertips trembled twice, but said nothing.

After waiting for a while, Mu Qingfeng said calmly, "If this king guessed correctly, you should have seen some clues from this piece of paper... This king has read it carefully, only the fatal wound and murder weapon of Fang Xiaoan and his wife There seems to be traces... Have you seen the murder weapon, or, have you seen the person who used the murder weapon?"

He glanced at Wenxin, and said softly, "If it's difficult, I won't force you."

Wen Xin's hands hanging on both sides clenched into fists, loosened and clenched again, and after repeated several times, he finally said, "My lord, there is a junior sister under my command, and her inner strength method is called 'Ice Muscle Chalcedony'. It was handed down by the master. The description on the corpse about the frostbite on the wounds of Fang Xiaoan and his wife seems to be caused by her internal strength, and her weapon is a two-foot thin blade. The subordinates think it is very similar... It was done by the junior sister. "

Mu Qingfeng looked at him with scorching eyes, his pupils shone brightly, revealing a kind of insightful wisdom, "Is your junior sister called 'Guanxin'?"

Wen Xin's pupils suddenly constricted, "My lord, how do you know?"

Mu Qingfeng took a sip of his tea, "In the case of Anyang Mansion, this king saw with his own eyes a woman with strong martial arts beside Ge Chunhui, and she was the leader who assassinated this king and killed the Fang brothers in Fenghuangzhai." A group of black-clothed killers... I heard Ge Chunhui call her 'Guanxin girl'."

"Qing Xin, can you tell me, who is Guan Xin's master?"

Wen Xin was stunned for a while, then suddenly knelt down on her knees, "My lord..."

He lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Mu Qingfeng's gaze anymore.Of course he knows that saying Wang Sidao's name can save Mu Qingfeng from taking many detours, but, doing so will put Guanxin in a different place. He is the one who should bear the teacher's order and work for Wang Sidao. !

Mu Qingfeng looked at him quietly, and after a while, said lightly, "Go down and rest!"

Then, he went out without looking at Wen Xin again. The sleeves of his robe swept over Wen Xin's shoulders, bringing a gust of cool wind, and Wen Xin felt a pain in his chest. I went in my heart.

Mu Qingfeng strode out of the door. This is the third courtyard of the Mobei Palace. Although it is not gorgeous enough, it is also neatly organized.

Five days ago, he caught up with the royal convoy outside Mobei City, and was welcomed into the residence of King Mobei when he entered the city.

He walked along the Chaoshou verandah, passed the Hanging Flower Gate all the way, and went directly out of the gate of the palace. He just stopped, raised his head and let out a long breath.

The questioning attitude made him feel stuck in his throat.

Suddenly, he really missed Gu Shaobai whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He didn't know what he was doing now, did he think of him!Is the injury on the lower abdomen completely healed?

Those who live high in the temple worry about their people, while those far away in the rivers and lakes worry about their king.Mu Qingfeng was enlightened earlier, unlike his father who gained a place in the imperial court solely based on the brotherhood of the late emperor, he knew a truth when he was young, as a child of the royal family, there is no family affection to speak of in this life.

It is not Mu Qingfeng's character to be mediocre and idle all his life. A man who is born in the world must also be earth-shattering, which is his pursuit goal.

Perhaps it was because the old Prince Yi's infatuation and love were so deep that not even a single bit of tenderness and weakness remained in his only flesh and blood. The young Mu Qingfeng asked for conquest and stayed away from the court.He did not go through the brewing stage of breaking out of the cocoon, but directly evolved into a calm and calm beast, willing to be the sharpest arrow and the most bloodthirsty knife.

Until the former emperor passed away suddenly, and on the eve of the crown prince's enthronement, all the officials suddenly heard the prince's decree, citing physical discomfort as an excuse to give up the throne to the third prince, who is the current emperor Jiazheng.

What shocked the government and the public was not only the abdication of the crown prince, but also Mu Qingfeng, the commander of the eastern border and the commander of the Gyeonggi Imperial Guards, who were the real lethal weapons of Emperor Jiazheng.

Two years after the new emperor ascended the throne, Mu Qingfeng invited himself back to Beijing.He is a smart man, of course he knows the truth that the master is the best. This knife has made great achievements, and it is time to return the sheath.

Since he was a child, Mu Qingfeng has never trusted anyone, even the emperor, he has never given in sincerity, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, what the emperor wants is loyalty, and what he wants is merit, that's all, he understands very well !

I thought that he would walk alone all his life, until he couldn't walk, lay down, and couldn't get up again.

Unexpectedly, he met Gu Shaobai, the person he was willing to go on the road with, even if this person had different intentions and was covered in thorns, but he was willing, willing to go on the road with such a hedgehog, even if he stabbed him in the chest The blood was dripping, and he didn't want to let go, enduring the feeling of pain, is it alive?

Three days later, it will be King Mobei's birthday.

Mobei City is located in a remote place. Although Mobei Wang Hualan was named king with a different surname, he was low-key and didn't like to make publicity. Therefore, even if the emperor ordered Prince Yi to celebrate his birthday on his behalf, Hua Lan didn't intend to make a big deal about it. Beifutai and several of his generals accompanied him.

Because Gu Junxuan is Hua Lan's old friend for many years, and he came here specially to celebrate his birthday, so he was also invited.

When it was time to light the lanterns, Gu Shaobai followed behind Gu Junxuan and Gu Qingbai, and walked into the gate of the palace decorated with lanterns.

He was wearing a thick light blue silk-cotton gown, and a double-breasted gown of the same color was added on the outside. The collar and cuffs were covered with pale yellow bamboo leaf patterns.

The whole person looked elegant, handsome and agile.

As soon as Gu Junxuan entered the door, he met the head of the palace, and left the two brothers to chat with the head.

Gu Qingbai and Gu Shaobai followed the servant who led the way, and walked slowly inside while waiting for their father.

Just passing a stone bridge on the lake, I heard someone shouting "Brother Qingbai" loudly on the veranda.

A young woman in a red shirt ran in front of them in three steps and two steps, holding Gu Qingbai's hand as if there was no one else around, and heard it before the person smiled, "Brother Qingbai, you are here, I am waiting for you!" It's been half a day..."

Gu Qingbai smiled unnaturally, his face was slightly flushed, and he said softly, "Hi Princess!"

Gu Shaobai looked at the embarrassing blushing face of the second brother, and then at the peach-colored eyes of the princess, and immediately understood the subtle emotions at the moment.

He immediately cupped his hands and laughed, "Is this Princess Yin Lian, Gu Shaobai is so polite!"

Only then did Gu Qingbai come to his senses, and gently withdrew his hand, "Princess, this is my third younger brother, Gu Shaobai."

Princess Yin Lian walked around Gu Shaobai twice with a smile on her face, "Is this Mr. Ding Fan who is known as the master of both 'qin and painting'? He is quite handsome, but he is not as good as your second brother!"

Gu Qingbai often escorts goods to Mobei, and he and Yin Lian have known each other for a long time.But Gu Shaobai had never set foot in Mobei, and it was also the first time he met Yin Lian.

Gu Shaobai generously let her look at him enough, seeing that she was dressed in a bright red tights with narrow sleeves and a red cloak, her whole body was like a red cloud floating down, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her facial features were delicate, Although not very beautiful, but the heroic posture of the brows and the grace of the gestures are extremely rare.

Princess Yin Lian has been stationed in the northern border with King Mobei all year round. He is surrounded by officers and soldiers. He is used to the military life of eating meat and drinking heavily, riding horses and hawks on the desert, and King Mobei has only one daughter. She is as precious as a pearl and never refuses to wrong one bit, and she has developed an arrogant and unrestrained temperament. During the half a year in Jingling City, she was almost driven crazy by court etiquette.

Gu Shaobai pursed his lips and almost laughed out loud. He couldn't help feeling a little fond of this blunt princess, "The princess is absolutely right. Some people are better off meeting after hearing about it. For example, my second brother, Some people are not as good as rumors when they meet, that is me. The second brother has helped his father take care of the business since he was 15 years old. He has a beautiful chest and a wealth of five cars. No one can compare with Shaobai. The name of Shaobai is blown out. Second brother , that's the real deal... I, maybe there are two things that my elder brother can't compare..."

"Oh?" Princess Yin Lian looked at him curiously, "What's the difference?"

Gu Shaobai said slowly, "Eat and...sleep!"

Princess Yin Lian's laughter floated far away like a silver bell, her cheeks were as tender as a peach blossom, she looked at Gu Qingbai with unabashed affection, "Brother Qingbai, I think you are better than others in everything. good!"

Gu Qingbai's face turned so red that it could drip blood, he said helplessly, "The princess is absurd!"

The maid at the side kept urging Princess Yin Lian to change her clothes, she just smiled coquettishly, turned around and left, passing Gu Shaobai without forgetting to praise him, "Actually, you are not bad, don't belittle yourself too much. "

Gu Shaobai watched the red clouds drift away with a smile, turned his head to look at Gu Qingbai, and smacked his lips meaningfully, "Second brother, what should I do, compared to you, I feel like I'm going to be screwed..."

Gu Qingbai sighed helplessly, "Shaobai, don't embarrass me..."

"Second brother, the princess likes you, why do you look unhappy?"

"There is a huge disparity between my status and the princess's...impossible..." Gu Qingbai turned his face away, looking at the thick night.

"Second brother, do you like the princess?"

Gu Qingbai didn't answer, the silence in his eyes was as thick as ink, Gu Shaobai could see it clearly, and understood it the most, Gu Qingbai had always been quiet and introverted, so if he didn't answer, he would just acquiesce.
