In the early autumn of the 21st year of Jianzhang, the assassination of Shanglinyuan was finally settled. Sangong Huafu collapsed, and there was no high position and power in the past. Dayong only protected the country with the Mu family, and there were no other princes with different surnames.The aristocratic clan and the Qingliu cold clan are both the mainstays of the court. They appear peaceful, but there are undercurrents surging.The crown prince Lu Chengning was supported by many parties, and the power of the crown prince was finally well deserved.

After leaving the court, Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang handed the sign to the East Palace, and then waited at the gate of the palace, waiting to be summoned.Now that the two have been formally appointed as officials to enter the court, although they are still concurrently serving as subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace, they still have to act according to the regulations in order to prevent gossip.

The autumn sun is very warm, even at noon it is never dazzling.A faint shadow fell on the ground paved with white jade, as if the wind could tear everything apart.

Xie Yunhong shifted his steps and stood a little closer to Mu Hanjiang. The calm and breezy clouds that others saw faded away, and he leaned lazily on Mu Hanjiang's body.One of the official uniforms of the two is crimson, the other is pine green, intertwined together is very pleasing to the eye.Mu Hanjiang stood still and did not move, letting him lean on his body, feeling that the sunlight between the clouds in the sky was a little warmer.

Looking at Wang An from afar, Xie Yunhong straightened up instantly, the two looked at each other, and saluted neatly.Although he knew that the matter of Shanglinyuan was planned by this person, neither of them exposed it, so he couldn't express the anger and hatred in his heart on the surface.

At the gate of the palace, many people have been watching the good show.

"A few days ago, I heard that the prince was slightly ill, but now it seems that he has recovered?" Xie Yunhong looked at Wang An in front of him, and his fingers hidden in his sleeves were tightly pinched, bloodless.Only now did he know that he hated a person, even the aura around him was so disgusting.

But before the final result, he couldn't reveal his hatred.Thinking of this, Xie Yunhong's smile deepened a little.

"I'm fine now." He said, turning his attention to Mu Hanjiang, "How is Mr. Mu these days? There are still good nourishing products from the emperor's brother in the palace of the prince. If you need it, just ask." He smiled. It is very gentle, with kindness towards the younger generation.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. This junior has already recovered seven or eight times. The tribute Ganoderma lucidum was only given to the general's mansion a few days ago, so this can only repay the lord's kindness." Mu Hanjiang's expression was apologetic, but very sincere.

King An was not displeased at being rejected, and was about to say something, but Xie Yunhong cupped his hands and said, "It seems that the younger generation has to leave first, but I am really worried that Your Highness has waited for a long time, and I feel unhappy." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Bai walking quickly.

King An swallowed his anger, smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Since Cheng Ning wants to see you, then naturally I, as Uncle Wang, can't delay." Then he turned and left.

Seeing that the person walked away, Xie Yunhong's hand in the sleeve slowly loosened, and there were crimson finger marks on the palm.Mu Hanjiang glanced at him with some concern, and shook his hand secretly, with a sense of comfort.

Xie Yunhong slowed his breath, smiled at the person beside him, and turned into that young master of the Xie family who was like a cloud like a shadow.

"The two adults have been waiting for a long time." Jiang Bai bowed, with a smile on his face, because he came too fast and was breathing a little too quickly.Although he felt Mr. Xie's expression was a bit strange, he dutifully did not ask any further questions.

"No problem." Xie Yunhong held the folding fan in his hand, raised his steps like a Zhilan Yushu, and then asked, "Is the Crown Princess okay in the past two days?" Now the two are officials of the foreign court, and they have their own affairs If you need to be busy, you will not enter the palace so frequently.It has been three or four days since the last time I entered the palace.

"The princess and concubine are all as usual, but they often talk about the two adults." Jiang Bai replied respectfully, seeing the scarlet official uniform behind him, he thought to himself that only Mr. Xie could bring this ancestor down. The clothes are so graceful.

Gu Mingheng, who was writing ink before the case, heard footsteps from outside the corridor, put down the jade pole in his hand and got up, and saw Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang stepping in the door.Compared with Xie Yunhong's gorgeous demeanor, Mu Hanjiang, who was dressed as a military officer in blue, was like a cold pine in the mountains, and his temperament was more calm.In the past few months, although he has taken good care of him, he has lost his vitality after all, and looks a little paler than before.

"Amu, you and I are busy working hard, but this Gu Jiu is copying the inscriptions here. It's really enviable to be so carefree!" Xie Yunhong leaned on the door frame, holding the handle of the fan in his hand. Tapping Mu Hanjiang's shoulder lightly, his tone was very sad.Mu Hanjiang seemed quite accustomed to this beating, and instead moved closer so that Xie Yunhong's hands would not get tired.

"A'Ning is waiting for you in the study." Gu Mingheng ignored his complaints, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the two, subconsciously smiling.

When passing in front of Xie Yunhong, he stopped on purpose, looked Xie Yunhong up and down, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Xie's crimson color is like the morning glow in the sky, no wonder the noble girls in Beijing are blocking cars on the street. , I just want to see you." Saying that, she raised her lips and smiled, turned and left.

Xie Yunhong looked away bitterly, looked at Mu Hanjiang beside him, feeling a little guilty for some reason, "Amu, you know I won't even take a second look at them..." As he spoke, seeing Mu Hanjiang was a little bit With a cold look on his face, he suddenly felt aggrieved and sour, "I really didn't look at them more..."

"Yeah, I know." Mu Hanjiang couldn't help but nodded when he saw his sluggish appearance, and just as Xie Yunhong curled the corners of his mouth, he heard him add, "But they always look at you like that, It made me feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable." As he spoke, he walked towards Gu Mingheng.

Xie Yunhong was stunned on the spot, and quickly chased after him, "Amu, don't you really want to lock me up from outsiders—it's not my fault—"

Mu Hanjiang didn't say a word until the door of the study, Xie Yunhong tugged at his sleeve, and coaxed in a low voice, "Amu, look, I'm going to court with you in the carriage now, I can't even open the windows. How about this, I won't answer anyone who stops the car or calls my name, so don't be angry, right?" While talking, she looked at Mu Hanjiang cautiously.

What he fears the most is that Mu Hanjiang will keep his face cold and silent. Every time at this time, he will think of Mu Hanjiang lying on the sick bed silently at that time, and no matter how he calls him, he will not get the slightest comfort. respond.

Mu Hanjiang saw that he was very close to him, his nose seemed to be filled with the incense on his clothes, his heart softened, and he was not angry at first, so he held his hand with his backhand, and sure enough, he saw Xie Yunhong. A smug look on his face.

He knew that there was no way he could ignore him.

The four of them sat around the desk, and Lu Chengning silently placed a black memorial in front of the three of them.In an instant, the voice in the study seemed to be snatched away, and it suddenly became quiet.Mu Hanjiang's hand that was holding on to Xie Yunhong froze, his expression was difficult to discern, "When did you receive this?" He looked at Lu Chengning with slightly cold eyes. ——This is a report that only the top general guarding the pass can issue. It represents a change in the enemy's army. Please make a quick decision now.

"Father summoned me into the imperial study last night for this purpose." After a moment of silence, Lu Chengning said, with a heavy tone, "General Mu sent an urgent letter from Yanyun at Xingye. The army is being assembled, and the picture is clearly revealed." He lightly tapped the table with his fingers, feeling a little anxious in his heart.

Gu Mingheng frowned slightly, although he knew that this battle would not be avoided no matter what, but Gu Mingheng did not expect that it would come so soon.He stretched out his hand to gently hold Lu Chengning's hand on his knee, and gently stroked the back of his hand, "What do you say today?"

It has been more than [-] years since the founding of the Xiliang Kingdom. Unlike Dayong, they lived on the grasslands for generations and lived as nomads. Both men, women, and children could ride horses and draw bows. Many years ago, they were the hidden worries of King Dayong's bedside.The Gu family guards the six prefectures of Yanyun, and it is Xiliang that they guard.

"Father is determined to fight." Years have not worn away Lu Zezhang's vigor, perhaps because of the bloodliness of the Lu family. Facing the overwhelming army, this emperor did not hesitate or back down, but chose to fight with all his might.What's more, it has been stable for more than 100 years, and the people all over the world are cultivating their lives and recuperating. At this time, the national strength can also support World War I.

"Brother was still discussing with me a few days ago that the old king of Xiliang was poisoned and killed by his beloved second son. Before this favored youngest son succeeded to the throne, my elder brother led an army of more than ten tribes in the name of the eldest son of the king. He entered the royal city in a mighty manner, killed his own brother, and became the king. At that time, the elder brother was a little worried. Such a change of power, and the heart of the Xidi barbarian had not been reconciled, so he didn't know that the newly appointed Xiliang The king will think of a way to clear up the power and subordinates..."

"War must be a big battle." Lu Chengning took his words, his eyes were a little sharp at this time, his voice was slow but cold, "This is undoubtedly a good way. Although Xiliang and I, Dayong, There are many frictions, but they never took the initiative to start a war. At this time, the new king is in power, so naturally he needs a war to consolidate his power and eliminate dissidents."

There was silence in the study for a while, and there was a rush of wind outside the corridor, carrying the chill of autumn.The country that has been peaceful for a long time is about to open the curtain of war.
