Chapter 253: Helpless
The weather is nice today.
The sun shines warmly on people.
If a person's mood is good, he will feel that everything is so good.
Even when the autumn wind blew on Mu Chen, he felt warm.
Mu Chen and Sima Yunxuan sat in the garden of the palace, quietly watching the fallen leaves fall down.
Sima Yunxuan poured a cup of tea and said, "How is the eldest brother resting these days?" ”
Mu Chen said, "Yes, in this late autumn season, I actually have the feeling of early spring, do you think it's strange?" ”
Sima Yunxuan laughed.
Mu Chen suddenly asked, "Brother and sister, shouldn't she also arrive?" ”
On the first day Mu Chen returned to the palace, he told Jincaiyu about Zhang Qianzhong's injury.
Sima Yunxuan said, "I have sent someone to secretly send her to Uncle Zhong for medical treatment, and I only said to the outside world that she has some family affairs and wants to leave temporarily."
Mu Chen frowned and said, "It's not good for you to lie, there is an accident in her family, shouldn't you follow?" ”
Sima Yunxuan smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry about it, I originally wanted to go, but Uncle Zhi asked me to stay."
Mu Chen said, "What do you want to do left?" ”
Sima Yunxuan didn't answer, but coughed lightly a few times, looked around, and then said, "Big brother, the younger brother asked you to come out alone this time because there are some things that must be said in private."
Mu Chen sighed and said, "Is it about the Zhang brothers?" ”
Sima Yunxuan looked a little excited, and said, "I really can't figure out why they want to kill each other?" ”
Mu Chen said, "It's not cannibalism, it's Zhang Qianzhi who is bent on killing his brother"
Sima Yunxuan said, "You mean... Uncle Zhong didn't know about this at all? ”
Mu Chen nodded and asked rhetorically, "Don't you know?" Didn't you say that you had found out that Zhang Qianzhi was going to kill Zhang Qianzhong? ”
Sima Yunxuan smiled bitterly and said, "The little brother also heard about it by accident."
Mu Chen said, "Oh? ”
Sima Yunxuan said, "One night, I accidentally saw a few people sneaking around the palace, I was afraid that Lin Hongyue sent it to be unfavorable to my sister-in-law, or someone wanted to assassinate Emperor Shen's uncle and father, so I quietly followed them."
Mu Chen was waiting for him to continue.
Sima Yunxuan took a sip of water and continued, "But I didn't expect them to leave the palace, and they also went out of the capital, and arrived at a mass grave outside the city."
Mu Chendao "Mass graves? They went to bury the bodies? ”
Sima Yunxuan nodded.
Mu Chen asked, "What day is it?" ”
Sima Yunxuan said "August 16"
Mu Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How many people went?" ”
Sima Yunxuan said "six"
Mu Chen said: "How many people are buried?" ”
Sima Yunxuan said "four"
Mu Chen's heart sank suddenly, but he still continued to ask, "Is it two men and two women, and one man has a broken hand?"
Sima Yunxuan didn't answer, just looked at Mu Chen with a surprised expression.
His human expression gave Mu Chen the answer.
Mu Chen let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that what the black and white dragon and phoenix said is really right," he paused, and then asked, "What about later?" How do you know about this? ”
Sima Yunxuan continued, "Later, I went to see if these four people were alive, and it turned out that one of the women still had a breath."
Mu Chen said, "She told you that?" ”
Sima Yunxuan nodded.
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "One is an uncle who watched you grow up, and the other is a killer you never knew, why do you believe the latter?" ”
Sima Yunxuan said, "I didn't believe it originally, but four people died in front of me, even if I didn't want to, I would have some doubts, not to mention that I received a letter from my eldest brother the next day."
Mu Chen had nothing to say, he really didn't know what to say now.
Sima Yunxuan said, "I can keep Uncle Zhong this time, and I have to thank my eldest brother"
Mu Chen said, "Where is it, but let's not publicize this matter now, wait until we find out what Zhang Qianzhi is for."
Sima Yunxuan nodded and said, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" ”
Mu Chen said, "First of all, I must be completely sure that the killer was sent by Zhang Qianzhi, and I also have to make sure that there is someone more powerful behind him to support him."
A breeze suddenly blew through, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground.
Sima Yunxuan also stopped talking, but watched the fallen leaves fly up and fall again.
Mu Chen said, "Third brother, do you have anything else?" ”
Sima Yunxuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Big brother, in fact, I do have one more thing."
Mu Chen waited for him to continue.
Sima Yunxuan said, "This time the two northwestern countries joined forces, just to prevent Dali, and the southern part of the Central Plains is now in the middle of the country, and the military power is falling, and the younger brother is really afraid..."
Mu Chen smiled, "I didn't expect you to share your father's worries now, you have indeed grown up"
Sima Yunxuan wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Mu Chen said, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Sima Yunxuan said, "Dali has increased its troops on the border, but it has not launched an attack, I am afraid that he is waiting for Lin Hongyue's movements, aren't they originally in a group?" ”
Mu Chen nodded and said, "This makes sense."
Sima Yunxuan said, "But this is just speculation, I want my eldest brother to go to Dali with me to find out about this matter."
He kept looking at Mu Chen, as if he was afraid that Mu Chen would not agree.
Mu Chen smiled, "I just need to go to Dali to meet Duan Chenfeng."
Sima Yunxuan was so excited that he said, "Thank you, big brother"
Mu Chen said, "Why thank me, it's just that there is something to be resolved between us"
Sima Yunxuan said, "As long as the matter of Dali is solved, it will be much easier in the south."
Mu Chen said, "It's tricky in the south, and there are already people in Tianji Fang, but..."
When he said this, he immediately thought of something, and said, "Third brother, you go to the Southern Dynasty immediately now."
Sima Yunxuan froze, he wanted to ask why, but he didn't know where to start.
Mu Chen said, "The second brother is in the Southern Dynasty, and it is likely to be in the hands of Lin Hongyue"
Sima Yunxuan lost his voice and said, "What? Second brother, isn't he in Huashan? Who can kidnap him to the Southern Dynasty? Lin Hongyue? ”
Mu Chen sneered, "It's my old enemy, Li Yanguang"
Sima Yunxuan said, "Impossible, with the second brother's swordsmanship, there are no more than thirteen people in the rivers and lakes who can defeat him, how..."
Mu Chen said gloomily, "I can't figure it out either"
Sima Yunxuan didn't say a word.
Both were silent.
Mu Chen suddenly said, "It's decided like this, you go to the Southern Dynasty and secretly rescue the second brother, and I will go to Dali alone."
The autumn wind rose again, and Mu Chen suddenly felt that the wind was blowing on his body this time, which was so biting.
A palace, Mu Chen pushed open the door and walked in.
The inside of the temple was bright and warm.
In order to take care of Yi Qingyu, the brazier has been prepared before winter.
The three beauties in the room couldn't help but smile when they saw Mu Chen come in.
When Mu Chen saw this smile, he suddenly felt extremely warm in his heart.
He walked up to Yi Qingyu, took her hand, and said, "Is this child not well-behaved?" ”
Yi Qingyu smiled, "He has a father who is so unbelievable as you, so naturally he is not well-behaved."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "If he is not well-behaved and annoys you, I will teach him a lesson"
Shen Yueying smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see how Brother Mu teaches this child."
Mu Chen smiled, "Although I can't teach this little naughty lesson, I can teach you this naughty lesson"
Shen Yueying stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Shangguan Wuyi said, "Why don't we think of a name for the child?"
Yi Qingyu said, "Okay, Brother Mu, what do you think it's called?" ”
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "I'm not good at choosing names, why don't you talk about it?" ”
Shangguan Wuyi said, "Hmm... Now we don't know if this kid is male or female, so we'd better think of two names."
Shen Yueying said, "Sister Shangguan, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Shangguan Wuyi pondered, "If you are a man, you must have a heroic and broad mind, and you can call Mu Huaixing"
Mu Chen said, "Mu Huaixing? ”
Shangguan Wuyi nodded, and said, "This is from Taibai Shixian 'Ju Huai Yi Xing Zhuang Si Fei, wanting to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon'"
Shen Yueying said, "Good poetry, but what if it's a girl?" ”
Shangguan Wuyi pondered: "Daughter... Well... Can be called Mu Yuhong"
Yi Qingyu said leisurely, "In case the Zen pass is broken, the beauty is like a jade sword like a rainbow"
Mu Chen smiled, "I'm afraid the artistic conception of this poem is not in line with my daughter's family"
Shen Yueying said, "I think it's good, I hope she will grow up in the future, as clear as jade, as self-reliant as a rainbow, don't rely on men for everything, Sister Shangguan, this name is really good"
Mu Chen sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
This was a happy thing, but Mu Chen sighed.
Yi Qingyu naturally understood that Mu Chen had something unspeakable, so he asked, "Brother Mu, why are you sighing?" Could it be that the third brother told you something? ”
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "Originally, I wanted to spend more time with you, but now I have something I have to do."
Shangguan Wuyi said, "Is it a matter of Dali?" ”
Mu Chen nodded, he really didn't know what to say about this.
He had just been reunited with them, and now they were separating, which was not pleasant news for anyone.
Even though there are thousands of reluctances in my heart, there is helplessness.
What is helpless, should I resist? Or do you want to go with the flow?
Shangguan Wuyi said, "I'll go with you"
Muchen said, "No, no one can go with me this time"
Shangguan Wuyi said, "But..."
Mu Chen interrupted her and said, "Okay, don't say it again, I'm here for your good, because I don't know if I'm gone this time..."
Yi Qingyu interrupted him with a smile and said, "This time, Brother Mu can come to see us, we are very satisfied."
Mu Chen was a little surprised, and said, "You..."
Shen Yueying said, "We all know Brother Mu's difficulties, so we also support Brother Mu's decision"
Mu Chen said, "I'm sorry for you"
Mu Chen said, his tone full of guilt.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wuyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are waiting for you here, I believe you will definitely come back in a short time"
Mu Chen said, "Yes, I believe it won't be long"
Shen Yueying suddenly said, "Today is August 22, Brother Mu, can you come back in half a month?" ”
Mu Chen said, "Half a month? ”
Shen Yueying said, "You are not here on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Night, we hope you can join us"
September 9, Chung Yeung Day.
It's another day of reunion, can Muchen come back this time? Reuniting with his wife and brother?
- I must be back by September 9th.
This is what he himself said to himself.
Mu Chen stood up, walked to the three of them, and hugged them separately.
When he hugged Shangguan Wuyi, he whispered "thank you" in her ear
Shangguan Wuyi smiled, of course she knew what Mu Chen was talking about.
If Yi and Shen knew that Mu Chen was going to fight Hua Miaoru in a month and a half, the two of them would definitely have to worry about it again.
Mu Chen didn't want them to worry, and Shangguan Wuyi didn't want Mu Chen to worry, so she didn't tell them.
So Muchen wants to thank Shangguan Wuyi.
