But one day, the news of the engagement between General Yubayashi and the Crown Prince of Yan spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

All of a sudden, there were heated discussions, rumors and suspicions.

It is said that Mu Zhiming, who assisted the virtuous king, was spying on the military power in General Yubayashi's hands.It is also said that General Yubayashi fell in love at first sight with the unparalleled son of Yan Kingdom.

This incident caused disturbances all over the city, but within three days, even the noble concubine who lived in the deep palace for a long time knew about it.

After she heard about this, she was extremely surprised: "How could my brother agree?" The concubine's guess was not bad at all.

Yan Guogong Mu Boren did not agree with this marriage at all.

He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and angrily reprimanded Mu Zhiming, who had cut first and then played: "You are really amazing, without the words of a matchmaker, without the orders of your parents, you made a marriage for yourself! Mu Zhiming knew that he had done something wrong, so he bowed his head." Stand there and listen to Mu Boren scolding.

"No, I don't agree with this matter." Mu Boren flicked his sleeves, speaking decisively.Mu Zhiming was anxious: "Father

Mu Boren pointed at him, displeased: "You still know how to call me father? When you were caught up in party disputes before, I should have scolded you! I have a family of admiration, except you, who is not clean and far away from the plotters?" Fighting? Just you, you have to get involved in the party struggle of the prince of the virtuous king! Now you have done such unscrupulous and disobedient things in order to seize power. The general is married. Let me ask you, he is a high-ranking man now. If you marry him, you are inferior to him? Then what title is he going to give you? Are you going to be his wife or a fool? Mu Lizhu, Don't you feel ashamed of me?

Mu Zhiming closed his eyes, knocked his knees heavily on the ground, knelt down, and said softly, "Father, I don't know what you heard, gossip, but I'm not here to seize power."

"Li Zhu!" Seeing her distressed, Gong hurriedly went to pull Mu Zhiming, but she couldn't help it, so she could only shout to Mu Boren: "My lord, let's have a good talk with the child, don't get so angry.

Mu Boren was still angry: "Don't kneel in front of me, get out."

Mu Zhiming kowtowed to Mu Boren three times, stood up and left.

Mrs. Gong sighed, went to comfort Mu Boren, and brought tea to Mu Boren: "My lord, the Mu family has a great business, and we don't want any incense. It's not a bad thing for a child to marry himself. , why so angry?

Holding the cup of tea, Mu Boren said sadly: "Ma'am, you don't understand. Li Zhu has been very careful since he was a child. He doesn't know what he is worrying about all day long. Since he became an official, he has tried his best to seize power. I am afraid that this is just for him to seize power. You are being confused! It is rumored that General Yubayashi is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is not a good man. If it is true that one day he has a lot of wives and concubines, it is a trivial matter for me, Mu Boren, to be tongue-tied, but it is a major matter for Li Zhu to be humiliated."

"Oh, oh... Mrs. Gong has made a mistake.

Mu Boren drank his tea, and suddenly remembered a few jokes he had with General Gu many years ago.Now, the joke has come true, and I sigh that there is a definite number in the dark.

The second person to talk about this matter with Mu Zhiming was the virtuous king Fu Ji'an.

When the two met in Prince Xian's mansion, Fu Ji'an sighed: "Brother Mu, you really don't make any noise, you are a blockbuster!"

"You also think that I married General Gu to seize power?" Mu Zhiming asked.Fu Ji'an said worriedly: "I don't think it's important. The key is that the crown prince Fu Qi thinks so. Brother Mu, this move is too dangerous for you. If you really get married with General Gu... .No, even if the two of you are not married, even the rumor that Prince Fu Qi is going to eradicate you now, how vicious and ruthless his methods are, brother Mu, you know, I am worried..."

Mu Zhiming shook his head and interrupted him softly: "Don't worry, although this road is a wrong one, I, Mu Zhiming, am not someone who just sits and waits to die."

After all, Fu Ji'an was still more pure-hearted. He had talked about people's ulterior motives, and thought about it day and night, "Then you and General Gu's auspicious day is fixed?"

Mu Zhiming said: "Let's not say that this moment of Shi Qianlang is not suitable for marriage, and my father did not agree to this marriage, but it doesn't matter, the moment I made up my mind to marry Gu Heyan, I knew that everything was impossible. It's all right. I will definitely overcome these difficulties and obstacles. It's just that he will leave the capital soon, and it's useless for me to marry him in a hurry.

"Leaving the capital?" Fu Ji'an was puzzled, "Where is General Gu going?"

That night, a battle report was sent from the frontier to the capital at high speed.

Gouji raised 20 troops and stationed on the border between the two countries, fearing that they might ignite the flames of war.In the previous life, after receiving the imperial edict, General Yubayashi set off overnight without delay.

But in this life, Gu Heyan, who had known about today and made all the preparations, did not leave immediately. After receiving the imperial decree, he had a sleepless night.

The next day, when the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, and the sky was still dark, in front of Gu’s mansion, dozens of officers and soldiers of the Melting Flame Army who had returned to the capital with Gu Heyan, each with a horse, rushed to the place without stopping as soon as Gu Heyan gave an order. to the frontier.

Gu Heyan held the reins of the red horse, looked at the end of the deserted bluestone street, quietly waiting for something.

When the dawn broke, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, Gu Heyan took a look and refused to look away.

Mu Zhiming and Wen Heyin came on horseback. Seeing that Gu Heyan hadn't left, Mu Zhiming couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He got off his horse and walked quickly towards Gu Heyan.

This is the first time the two have met after the marriage was settled.

The intertwined engagement turmoil has not yet settled, but they have to face the constant and chaotic parting sorrow, and they don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

The two looked at each other in silence, Mu Zhiming picked up the thing that was in his arms, and shook it off. It was a black black satin embroidered cloak with cirrus clouds and flame patterns, it was so exquisite that one could tell it was not extraordinary at a glance.

Mu Zhiming stepped forward, put the cloak on Gu Heyan's body, lowered his head to tie the belt for him

Gu Heyan was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, looked at Mu Zhiming's eyebrows for a moment, and said hesitantly: "The engagement..." If General Gu wants to go back on his word, then please think about it, the betrothal gift The letter of appointment is always issued by the general first, so I hope the general will think twice about such an unkind thing as regretting the marriage. "Mu Zhiming interrupted him loudly, speaking with confidence.

Gu Heyan:

...I just, don't know why you're doing this.

Mu Zhiming asked back: "Then general, why do you think I did this?" Gu Heyan fell silent.

No matter why, after a few months, he might die in the bloody battle with Gouji just like in his previous life.

So going to fight here, there are more bad luck than good luck.

And Mu Zhiming is reborn, he must know that if he bids farewell, he fears that he will die again.

For the two of them, this unmarried affair is like a dream after all, a dream come to nothing

Gu Heyan was speechless for a long time, and said, "I should go."

Mu Zhiming made a farewell salute: "We can't send you far away, and please take good care of yourself, General.

Gu Heyan nodded, got on the horse, looked at Mu Zhiming deeply and solemnly, tightened the reins, and rode the horse away with all the soldiers.

Mu Zhiming didn't move, he just stood there and watched.

Wen Heyin stepped forward and walked to Mu Zhiming's side: "Master, don't be sad." Mu Zhiming: "Sad?"

Wen Heyin: "Yes, the last time you parted with him outside the Great Wall, it wasn't that you were sad for a long time.

Mu Zhiming smiled slightly: "This time is different, I will go to the border to find him in two days.

Wen Heyin shouted: "Ah??? Looking for him? How are you going?

Mu Zhiming only smiled but didn't answer, with an inscrutable look.

Wen Heyin was about to ask, but suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near. He raised his eyes and was surprised to find that Gu Heyan turned back for some reason.

Gu Heyan reined in his horse from a distance, and jumped off the horse. When Wen Heyin saw him walking towards Mu Zhiming, he immediately walked away knowingly.

Mu Zhiming was also confused, and asked Gu Heyan who walked in front of him in surprise, "General, why are you back?"

Gu Heyan looked at him, breathing slightly short of breath, his hands hanging down his sides were clenched into fists due to tension, he said softly, "I just turned around and saw you looking at me, but you haven't left yet." Mu Zhiming laughed: "This is Naturally, I want to watch you leave, General."

Gu Heyan's eyes trembled slightly.

If this is really farewell...and they are already engaged...Then... Gu Heyan took a deep breath, "But...

Mu Zhiming leaned forward slightly: "What? What can I do? General, I didn't hear clearly

Gu Heyan:

...... Hug it?

Mu Zhiming froze in place.

Because of Gu Heyan's cautious attitude.

Seeing him being silent for a long time, Gu Heyan thought that he was refusing, so he lowered his head: "...I was the one who was abrupt..." No no no. "Mu Zhiming came back to his senses, and quickly said," yes, of course

Gu Heyan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he stepped forward and carefully surrounded Mu Zhiming like holding a treasure.The arms are strong but dare not tighten them.

After a while, Gu Heyan let go of Mu Zhiming, and he said softly, "I'm leaving.

The warmth faded in an instant, Mu Zhiming was a little bit reluctant, but he could only say: "General, have a good journey."

Gu Heyan nodded, turned and left, this time he didn't stop.

Mu Zhiming watched his figure disappear from sight, stood still for a long time, Wen Heyin led the horse forward: "Master, it's time to go home."

"En." Mu Zhiming nodded, and took the rein from Wen Heyin's hand.At this moment, Aunt Liang ran out of Gu's mansion anxiously: "Young master, oh, has the young master already left? That's too bad."

"Aunt Liang?" Mu Zhiming stepped forward, "What's wrong with you?"

"Master Mu." Aunt Liang sighed, "Master, he left in a hurry and forgot his things!"

"Something?" Mu Zhiming was puzzled, "What?"

Aunt Liang spread her hand and showed it to Mu Zhiming.

Mu Zhiming looked down, and saw Aunt Liang's handkerchief spread out, and the Phoenix Nirvana Vermilion Jade Pendant was quietly in her palm.

Aunt Liang sighed: "It's this jade pendant. I was in a hurry, but I forgot it!" Mu Zhiming said: "He didn't know it was his mother's belongings, so he left it carelessly, and it is understandable." "

Aunt Liang said:

"Mr. Mu, my young master has always known that this jade pendant is a relic of my wife.

Ah, when the young master was six years old, the master gave him the jade pendant, and told him that it was his wife's relic, and told him to wear it with him and take good care of it. "

Mu Zhiming was stunned: "Six years old? But...but

But that year after he fell into the water and was rescued, Gu Heyan decided to give him this jade pendant without hesitation just by pointing at him.
