Chang'an Ferry

"Master Mu" Xiaobai waved upstairs and then ran down from upstairs "Master Mu"

"Xiaobai" Mu Yanying raised the veil.

Xiaobai calmed down, "Ah Chen, he has something to go to sea, let me pick you up"

"Well, thank you for your hard work"

"It's okay, let's go! My father is very happy to know that you are coming," Xiao Bai said.

Mu Yanying evoked a smile, "I also admire Baidaozhu very much."

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the White Mansion, hearty laughter came from inside. A tall and thin man came out, "Nephew Mu Xian"

"My father," Xiaobai whispered.

Mu Yanying bent down and saluted "Uncle Bai"

"White Island Master" Qing Shu and Chu Ping followed Mu Yanying to salute.

"Oh, why are you being so polite! Come on, please, is your father in good health?" Bai Qi asked.

Mu Yanying nodded, "Very well, please ask me to say hello to you and say that I will come to find Uncle Bai for a drink when I have a chance."

"That's a good relationship. Hey, your father and I have been close friends for a long time. Unfortunately, we have never had a chance to meet each other. When we meet, we must not be drunk or return." Bai Qi shook his head, and then looked at Mu Yingying. "I have always heard that you are not in good health. how is it now?"

"Very good," Mu Yanying said.

To put it bluntly, when he was young, he was also a member of the navy and a fierce general. He once led soldiers to the land of Fusang, but later because his father died and the family business was left unattended Those fusangs were scared, so Bai Qi simply resigned from the then navy commander and went home to do business. This is why Xinghuo Island is so prosperous, and it is also why Bai Qi did not follow to the imperial city so that he has never seen Mu Zhan.

"Uncle Bai is the best, he hit the land of Fusang." It was the first time Mu Yingying saw the legendary character.

Bai Qi waved his hand, "I also acted according to the commander's plan. If I want to say that it is really amazing, it is thanks to Commander Xie Gui."

Mu Yuying smiled, the land of Fusang is far away from the Jin Dynasty, and the general will be outside. Besides, the situation on the battlefield is changing. If the people who led the team at that time were not brave and resourceful, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to succeed. "However, I have never seen After Xie Gui ruled."

"Oh, Commander Xie has disarmed and planted flowers and vegetables at home. To be honest, I may not have visited his old man's house for many years." Bai Qi sighed a little.

"When I go back, I will visit his old man's house." Mu Yiying was born in the general family, and has always had a good impression of people who protect their families and the country.

Bai Qi nodded, "I will also find an opportunity to visit his old man's house in the future, and see your father again."

"Yeah." Mu Yanying nodded.

"This time I will play longer this time, and I can go to many countries from here," Bai Qi said.

Mu Yuying shook her head, "This time I'll only be here for about half a year. My parents have written to me since I didn't go home during the Chinese New Year last year. If I want to go in the future, I have to go home and tell my parents to get their consent."

"That's right!" Bai Qi nodded, "Ah Chen has settled your residence before going out, I'll take you there"

"Uncle Bai, you are an elder, I'll just go there by myself," Mu Yanying said.

Bai Qi thought for a while, "That's fine! Ah Chen will come back in about seven or eight days. If you have anything to do during this time, you can come to me or Zi'er directly." Of course, although Bai Qi gave Lin Chen a lot of things, Lin Chen He is still young and he always has to watch something.

"Okay, I will trouble Uncle Bai then." Mu Yanying thanked him.

In the morning, when Qingshu knocked on the door, Mu Yanying was still a little confused, "Come in"

"Young master, let's go out to the market. The little white girl came over and said that several cargo ships docked in the middle of the night yesterday. They all came back from Tianzhu, Java, and Ceylon. They will stay here for a day and buy themselves Take out the goods that come and sell them." Qing Shu helped Mu Yanying get dressed.

"I think you really want to go!" Mu Yanying laughed.

Qing Shu scratched his hair in embarrassment, "Yes! That young master, us?"

"Okay, let's go" Mu Yanying sat down in front of the mirror, "But for now, let's comb my hair first."

"Yes"

During the day, Xinghuo Island was more lively than last night. Mu Yanying found a high place and could see the masts densely packed on the other side of the pier.

"My lord, they look so strange, their hair is curly," Qing Shu said

Mu Yanying didn't feel anything, after all, there were many descriptions in the letter Ji Tingyuan sent, "You think they are strange, and they think we are also very strange. Let's go! Go and see what's there?"

Seeing Mu Yanying and the others coming, those businessmen greeted them, but Mu Yanying and Qing Shu looked at each other in blank dismay, "I don't understand what they are saying?"

Fortunately, these businessmen can also speak the language of the Jin Dynasty, but their speech is also very awkward, but they can finally understand it.

"I have them all." Mu Yuying walked around, Ji Tingyuan usually sent some small gadgets with different characteristics from various countries, so Mu Yingying didn't have much interest, but watched the businessmen chatting I was still very interested in talking, so I simply found a place to sit down and drink tea while listening to them talk about interesting things along the way.

"My lord, look at the blonde." Qing Shu was so excited that he was about to jump.

The blond man also saw Mu Yanying and the others. After all, good-looking people are dazzling wherever they go, "Oh, my friend, you are so good-looking."

"Who is your friend!" Qing Shu stood in front of Mu Yanying.

"Qingshu" Mu Yanying shouted, "this friend sit down"

"No problem." The man sat down, "Hi friend, I'm from Frangji, you can call me Xiaofei, what's your name?"

"Is your name Xiao Fei?" Qing Shu interrupted.

"No, my name is very long. My friend in the Jin Dynasty gave me a nickname. It sounds good to me, so I used it. You haven't said your name yet, my friend?" Fei asked.

"Ying Ying" suddenly heard a person calling his name.

Mu Yanying looked over, "Sir!"

"Oh, I haven't seen you for many years and I almost didn't recognize it." Ji Tingyuan came over and hugged Mu Yingying.

"Old Ji, is this your friend?" Xiaofei asked in surprise, "So you are called Yingying, it sounds so nice."

"Yes! What, you were here just now?" Ji Tingyuan asked.

"This friend named Xiaofei came to say hello," Mu Yanying said.

Ji Tingyuan nodded, "Xiaofei just likes to greet people."

"By the way, sir, are you planning to go back to the Jin Dynasty or where?" Mu Yanying asked suspiciously.

"I want to go to the navy camp first, and then go to Fusang," Ji Tingyuan said

Mu Yanying was a little puzzled, "How did you go to the naval camp, sir, but what's the matter?"

"Yes," Ji Tingyuan said in a low voice, "This Xiao Fei is from Frangji. He knows how to make some strange weapons. I ask him to help."

"Will it be?" Mu Yanying doesn't think that weapons are the core secret of a country.

Ji Tingyuan pulled Mu Yuying aside, "I saved his life when I went to Frangji, and his father took me to see the factory where they developed weapons to thank me. I wrote it down and planned to send it to the water. The division camp allows them to study and study"

Mu Yanying bit her lip, "Sir, is this going to be bad!"

"What's wrong with this! Let's learn from it." Ji Tingyuan said without blushing, "so you have to do me a favor, take care of Xiao Fei, so I can go to the naval camp."

"Okay." Mu Yanying nodded, "When will you leave, sir?"

"I originally planned to ask Island Master Bai for help, but now that I meet you, I will ask you for help," Ji Tingyuan said.

"You're being polite, sir, but why didn't you take Xiaofei with you? Their family researches weapons, so he must be able to help," Mu Yingying thought.

Ji Tingyuan chuckled, "It will take more than half a year to come from Frangji, and I have asked him what he knows during this time." He patted Mu Yanying on the shoulder, "Okay, Xiaofei will leave it to you," and then said to Xiaofei said hello, "Xiaofei, I told you before that I have something to do, so you can stay with Yanying for a few days."

"Okay, my friend, you can go!" Xiaofei said happily.

Ji Tingyuan added another sentence, "Ying Ying, they are more open, please bear with me"

"Yes, sir, go and come back quickly." Mu Yanying nodded.

In the days that followed, Xiaofei followed Mu Yanying to live in Baifu, and the two visited Xinghuo Island together. However, Ji Tingyuan didn't tell him what he said, and returned in a few days. The person in charge of developing the weapon held him back and insisted that he stay and give advice, so he had to ask someone to send a letter to Mu Yanying asking him to take care of Xiao Fei.

"Yuying, would you like to go back to Frangji with me? Our place is very beautiful and has delicious wine." Xiaofei has been keen to persuade Mu Yanying to go to Flangji these days. Let’s get to know each other! Then we will drink and sing together by the river.”

Wine, forget it!Mu Yanying said "no" with a wooden face

"My friend, you are so stubborn." Xiaofei took a sip of water. "Our hometown is really beautiful. You will never want to leave after you go."

"I can't go now, my family disagrees," Mu Yingying said.

"Oh, okay!" Xiaofei also knew that people in the Jin Dynasty attached great importance to their family members, but she still had a small smile in her heart, "Qi Ying, how long do you think it will take for Lao Ji to come back? It's been half a month."

"I don't know." Mu Yanying shook her head, watching the waves crashing against the rocks in the distance.

"Aying"

"Yingying, someone called you," Xiaofei said.

Qing Shu stood up, "Master is Mr. Lin"

Mu Yuying stood up, "Ah Chen" Mu Yuying walked over slowly, "Ah Chen, are you back?"

"Yes, you have been waiting for a long time." Lin Chen stepped forward and hugged him, and then saw Xiao Fei, "Who is this?"

"My friend, hello, you call me Xiaofei, I'm from Flangji." Xiaofei stepped forward.

Lin Chen nodded, "You and Mr. Ji are friends. When I came back, I happened to meet Mr. Ji. He asked me to tell you that he will not come back for a while."

"That's it." Mu Yanying nodded.

Xiaofei's shoulders slumped, "Originally, Lao Ji said that he would go to Fusang to visit his friends, but now he has to wait again."

"Sir, are you going to visit friends in Fusang?" Mu Yanying asked.

Xiaofei nodded, "Yes!"

"Oh" Mu Yanying thought for a while, "Call me when the time comes, I'll go too"

Xiaofei immediately regained her energy, "Okay, we'll be together then, alas, Lao Ji has to come back soon"

"Aying, why do you suddenly want to go to Fusang again?" Lin Chen asked.

Mu Yanying smiled, "I haven't been there, just curious, by the way, Ah Chen, how are you handling things?"

"It's settled, it's a pity I didn't treat you well, let's go, drink." Lin Chen remembered the matter of his marriage before, "Um, wrong, you can't drink, Yanying, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you"

"I've traveled all over Xinghuo Island in the past half month, but you can treat them as well. What do you plan to treat?" Mu Yanying said.

However, as the future successor of the Bai family, Lin Chen had to learn not only the means of doing business, but also the tactics of resisting pirates. He spent two days with Mu Yingying and was busy again.

Because Ji Tingyuan said that he would not be back until some time later, Mu Yanying and Xiao Fei went to the surrounding islands by boat.

But the situation in the imperial city became more and more tense, and the impeachment papers of the Mu family flew to Li Shengye's desk like snowflakes.

"Dingyang, look, these are the crimes of your Mu family that they impeached." Li Shengye put a few books in front of Mu Dingyang.

Mu Dingyang took it up, and there are three main contents of impeachment. One is that the Mu family is relying on their power to hold the emperor in their eyes. The family colluded with Di Yi, because Mu Zhan sent food to Di Yi five years ago, and Mu Zhan's mother-in-law was of Di Yi's blood, and it was said that he was of Di Yi's royal blood.

"Your Majesty, the Mu family is sincere to the Jin Dynasty and has no intention of despising the royal family. As for Yanying, he is pure and kind by nature and will never deceive the king's heart." Mu Dingyang knelt on the ground, "As for the gift of food to Di Yi, my father once Informed the first emperor" and took out Mu Zhan's memorabilia.

Xishun handed the memorial to Li Shengye, but Li Shengye didn't open it, "Father once said that General Mu is the person he trusts the most, and I can trust the person who can be handed over to him. As for Yan Ying, I understand it." ,But…"

Mu Dingyang's forehead was a little sweaty, and his knees became more straight.

"But father didn't tell me about General Mu's gift of food to Di Yi." In fact, it can't be blamed that Li Gu didn't say it, because he was suffering from illness at that time, and at that time he only thought of explaining the affairs of the court and forgot about it. After all, in his heart, he didn't feel anything.

"That's all." Li Shengye then flipped through the memorabilia, "Let's take this matter to an end, and you should find a way to deal with those rumors." Standing up, "Xi Shun, burn these papers."

"Yes"

As Mu Dingyang walked, looking up at the high palace walls on both sides, he didn't feel relaxed because of Li Shengye's attitude, but felt that a bigger conspiracy was coming.
