The founding ancestor of Dayuan started his career as a soldier, and the royal family has always been afraid of military power.After the efforts of several generations of emperors, military power has basically returned to the central government.

The elite soldiers were immersed in the comfort of Yecheng, and after a few years, the soldiers became exhausted.

20 years ago, there was an incident at the border. If Xia Houling, the god of war, led the Jianchangying army to emerge out of nowhere, the present city of Ye would have already fallen.

This time the Long Tassel Army was victorious and returned to the court. Although Nanyue was not considered a strong enemy, it was also the best result in decades.

The Holy One was overjoyed, although he did not arrange for the Ministry of Rites to go out of the city to greet him, but before the vanguard army entered the city, they had the long street cleaned up.

At that time, Su Mu was sitting in the carriage arranged by Mrs. Yu to go to Wanzhu Mountain, but it was a pity that when he left the inner city, he was blocked tightly.

Standing on the carriage and looking out, as far as the eye can see, there are shoulders rubbing against each other, and the alley is empty.

The driver driving the carriage had a playful smile on his face: "I forgot that today is the day when the Changying Army returns to court. It seems that you will have to wait a little longer, my lord."

Su Mu and Xiao Wu slept late last night, and today they were tossed about again early in the morning.At this moment, Xiao Wu is fine, but Su Mu is a little bit out of spirit.

The green-clothed and red-clothed sisters who were originally huddled in the corner straightened up quickly: "Young servant, please help me massage."

Before Su Mu could speak, Xiao Wu immediately blocked the middle with wide-eyed eyes: "Be honest!"

Don't think he doesn't understand, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will hurt others, he has heard the young master read many stories!

The two sisters looked at each other, but Xiao Wu refused to budge.

Su Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw this posture, he coughed to cover up: "Okay, I will call you if necessary." If you don't call, then you don't need it.

The red and green clothes were a little aggrieved, but they responded softly and shrank back into the corner again.

This carriage belongs to the Su family, and there is nothing in it except a place to sit.In this white foggy morning, Xiao Wu couldn't help but put another cloak on Su Mu.

Su Mu leaned against the wall of the car: "Find a place to sit."

The coachman said exaggeratedly: "There is still a place to sit, sir, come out and have a look, the street is full of people waiting to see the triumphant return of the long-tached army!"

Xiao Wu frowned: "Didn't you know this would happen before you came out? Why not wait to avoid it."

"Isn't this worrying about the young master? Or, let's go another day?"

Xiao Wu looked behind Su Mu and said, "What date will it be changed! Since it's out, then wait here!"

The coachman outside seemed to be muttering something, but Su Mu, who was a little out of spirits, couldn't hear clearly, and he didn't bother to listen.

Although a little sleepy, he also knew that this was not a place to sleep.Su Mu took out a book and pushed open the car window for ventilation and refreshment.

A burst of cheers broke out suddenly, and the whole carriage seemed to shake.

Their carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, diagonally facing the direction of the city gate.Su Mu looked out of the car window, just in time to see the flag that was the first to enter the city.

The pen is like a dragon and a snake, and the iron is drawn with a silver hook. The word Xiahou on it comes to the face with a killing spirit.

However, what Su Mu couldn't ignore was the silver-armored general under the flag.

The first thing I saw was his posture, his posture was straight, like a spear pointing directly at the sky and the earth.

When he got closer, he saw deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.The cheers on the street became more enthusiastic, and even silk flowers were sprinkled from both sides.

Although the woman in Dayuan was reserved, in this exciting atmosphere, some people still couldn't help doing something slightly out of line.

The green jade roared towards the general on the street, and some ladies who found something wrong exclaimed.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the general turned his head slightly, and the jade pendant was knocked down by the guards around him.

Su Mu held his breath, he wondered whether the faint blue he saw just now was the general's eyes, or the reflection of the jade pendant.

After receiving several warnings, Wei Shu, who was lying by the window on the second floor, turned pale.Su Wan who was standing next to her quickly pulled her into the box.

"Why did you throw the jade pendant down!"

Wei Shu felt a little guilty, but she still held on and said, "They can throw silk flowers, why can't I throw jade pendants?"

Hua Ying, who was in the same room as the two of them, was simply funny: "Can this be the same? Silk flowers are so light, your jade pendant can hurt people, okay?"

"Impossible! Brother Xiahou is so skilled, he can even catch flying arrows!"

Hua Ying rolled her eyes: "Then what? Do you want General Xiahou to catch you and come to propose marriage to you? I said Miss Wei, you have worn that jade pendant for a long time, right?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Su Wan quickly smoothed things over: "Xiaoshu definitely didn't do it on purpose, anyway, now that the jade pendant is broken, who can recognize whose?"

Looking at Wei Shu whose eyes were twinkling, Hua Ying snorted coldly: "Some people are just overthinking their own abilities, and they want to call each other out of a relationship that is clearly out of reach. I really don't know where the face came from!"

"You!" Wei Shu was furious, and then she retorted: "It's better to be inconsiderate than shameless. Just because you are the princess, you pester others every day, and the daughter of the boudoir will lose all face!"

"Crack!" Huaying untied the whip from her waist and slammed it on the ground, her eyes spewed fire: "You tell the princess again!"

All the maids in the room, except Huaying's, were all pale, and boldly stepped forward to stop the master, for fear that the princess would go crazy.

Su Wan's face became tense, she cursed at the two of them in her heart, but on the surface she immediately saluted Hua Ying: "Princess, please forgive me! Today is a good day for General Xiahou, you definitely don't want to make things worse and let him Get criticized."

Seeing Hua Ying take off the whip, Wei Shu finally calmed down a bit.Although she is not afraid of Hua Ying, the princess of a foreign race, she will still suffer if she is drawn for no reason.Thinking of this, she held back her words, snorted coldly and left the box under the escort of the maid.

Huaying's attendants coaxed and persuaded, and finally calmed down the furious master.Looking at the two people who left, Hua Ying was very disdainful: "This is the noble daughter of Yecheng!"

Wei Shu rushed out of the restaurant angrily, at this time the team entering the city had already left the street.

She stomped her feet, and immediately ordered her servants to pull the carriage to chase after Xia Houzhe.When Su Wan came out, she could only see the dust left by Wei's carriage.

Su Mu sat in the car, watching his stepsister's face change with great interest.

Still young, this forced face and smile is really ugly.

After the crowd dispersed, Su Mu and the others finally set off again.The imperial city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Bin River flows from the southeast.

Each of the five canals flows into it, and after communicating with the four directions, it bypasses Binshan Mountain and heads south.

Fortunately, Binjiang circumambulated Binshan and went to Xiaoxiang for whom.

Five canals divide Yecheng, and the well-developed water system allows bridges to be seen everywhere.

The willow trees on the embankment are a bit bleak in autumn, but the constant flow of people makes them not look lonely at all.

The carriage got farther and farther away from the inner city, and after about two hours, the emerald green Wanzhu Mountain finally appeared in front of my eyes.

Thousand Buddha Temple in the east of the city and Wanzhu Mountain in the west of the city.

The Dayuan royal family believed in Buddhism, and there were no less than a dozen temples inside and outside Guangye City.Among them, Qianfo Temple is the most popular among the folks, while Baoen Temple on Wanzhu Mountain is the royal seal.

Before entering Beijing, Su Mu asked people to inquire about all parties.My perception of Wanzhushan is that the yards there are very expensive, very expensive.

So when he heard that the Su family had another courtyard there, he was immediately moved.

When I got to the place, I found that the Su family's other courtyard was in a very peripheral place, and I could only faintly see the green bamboos all over the mountain.

There was one carriage when they came, but it turned into two carriages when they returned.

The servants got on the bus one by one with their luggage, and Xiao Wu stood at the door and looked at them with folded arms.The coachman pretended to come over: "Madam said that the eldest son is going to clean up in another courtyard. If there are many people here, wouldn't it be Qingxiu?"

Xiao Wu gave him a condescending look on the steps, and after making sure that all the servants got on the car, he entered the house without looking back and closed the door directly.

The coachman was so bored, he slapped the door forcefully: "What the hell!"

The other courtyard is square in shape, and the center is dug into a lotus pond, in which various koi are raised.Su Mu stood under the courtyard porch, from where he twirled some fish food to feed the fish.The red clothes were sent to the back to tidy up the bedrooms, while the green clothes were in charge of the kitchen.

Xiao Wu trotted all the way into the yard: "Hey hey, young master, my brother should be here soon!"

Su Mu nodded: "Go outside to meet you."

Xiao Wu couldn't help being happy: "The Su family thought that we would be dumbfounded if all the people were removed, but in fact we are still looking forward to it! This way, it really saves a lot of trouble."

Su Mu slapped him on the head: "If you laugh any more, you will be even more stupid. Get out quickly, and be careful that your brother finds the wrong place."

Xiao Wu covered his forehead and walked out happily.

In the distance, there was the sound of a bell ringing in the distance.Su Mu closed his eyes, and the unique breath of the bamboo forest came with the wind.

In the imperial city...

After Xia Houzhe came out of the imperial study, in just half an hour, he "ran into" the third prince and the seventh prince successively.

The third prince Gao Yu smiled all over his face: "Congratulations, cousin, you are now our youngest champion general in Dayuan!"

Can you not be young? Xia Houzhe is two years younger than him, and he just turned [-] this year.

Under the red palace walls, the third prince still looked like a scholar, with slender eyebrows and eyes, in the same line as his mother, concubine and pure concubine.

"It's just a fluke." Xia Houzhe said with a stern look, "I heard that you, the third prince, have released a new anthology."

The third prince hurriedly waved his hands modestly, but his smile deepened: "This king is not as capable of fighting for the country like you and the second emperor brother. If you want to contribute, you can only rely on your own shallow knowledge."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two had just passed the corner when they bumped into the Seventh Prince Gao Xi who was holding a file in his hand.

"Brother Sanhuang? Cousin?" Gao Bin, who had a dignified temperament, was a little surprised: "It's such a coincidence."

The third prince smiled but said, "It's a coincidence, but Seventh Brother, shouldn't you be in the Ministry of Officials now? Why did you come to the Imperial Study Room?"

The Seventh Prince raised the case file in his hand and smiled wryly: "It's not that the year-end assessment is coming soon, some ministers I'm really not sure about, so I'm here to ask Father for instructions."

There was some emotion in the third prince's eyes: "Seventh brother is diligent, my cousin and I will not delay your work."

The Seventh Prince shook his head face-to-face: "I'm just a thug, but my cousin is very powerful. As soon as he made a move, he made Nanyue calm down."

Xia Houzhe, who had always been watching from the sidelines, said calmly: "Nanyue is just a temptation. Seeing me pressuring the army, he will naturally not dare to do it again."

After hearing this, the two princes had different expressions.Although he knew a lot of inside information, Xia Houzhe personally admitted that his credit was worthwhile, which still relieved the eyebrows of the two of them a lot.

Compared with the second emperor brother who can't wait to boast half of the credit, this cousin/brother who doesn't take credit is much more pleasing to the eye.

After a few more conversations, when the two princes issued a banquet invitation, Xia Houzhe refused without hesitation: "My minister will go to Wanzhu Mountain for a short stay from tomorrow."

The third prince suddenly said, "I'm going to visit the eldest princess."

Xia Houzhe pursed his lips and did not answer, so the others took him for acquiescence.

The eldest princess and Xia Houling, the god of war, are deeply in love with each other. After Xia Houling died of illness, the eldest princess invited herself to practice in Baoen Temple in despair.It has been almost 20 years now, and she has never stepped out of the mountain gate.

As the son of the two, Xia Houzhe lived in Wanzhu Mountain every year as a rule.Thinking about it, from the time the Changying Army set off to the present, it was indeed time to go.

Hearing that Xia Houzhe was going to visit the eldest princess, the third and seventh princes no longer insisted. After all, the eldest princess is the emperor's twin sister.

When the first emperor passed away, the crown prince ascended the throne.Thanks to the eldest princess who married Xia Houling decisively, those clan officials who had different intentions were suppressed.

So even though the Eldest Princess has long since left the world, her position in the Holy Majesty's heart is still unshakable, which can be seen from the fact that the Holy Majesty visits Bao'en Temple in person every year.
