Chapter 39: Forbearance

"According to Mu Yunmo's report, I already know the ins and outs of the matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Qi Ling sat at the head of the bronze basalt beast-faced chair that symbolized the supreme power of the Red Dome, although it seemed that he was still one step away from the throne, he seemed to be in control of everything.

"But Mu Yunmo, what I want to remind you is that this operation is a collective act, I don't think I need to repeat how important it is, I have repeatedly emphasized that once a certain unit has a situation, it is necessary to send a signal to notify other troops as soon as possible, as the leader of one of the three troops, you are really disappointed!"

Mu Yan, who had always been silent in front of everyone, stepped forward emotionally, and was about to tell the story that the fireworks bomb had been tampered with, Mu Yunmo knew Mu Yan's intentions, grabbed him before he spoke, and shook his head slightly.

Qi Ling didn't even glance at Mu Yan, his gaze still stayed on Mu Yunmo, and a hint of sarcasm crossed his eyes: "Even if you believe that you have enough ability to defeat the other party, I don't think that violating the action plan is what you should do, as the general of the army, the daughter of General Mu, you should know what the crime of disobeying the military order should be, right?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan completely dispelled the previous idea of wanting to defend Mu Yunmo, and he took the general out to suppress Mu Yunmo, obviously prepared and would not give her any room for explanation.

Mu Yunmo seemed to have expected Qi Ling's attitude for a long time, she was surprisingly calm, she raised her head to meet Qi Ling's gaze and said, "Those who disobey military orders, depending on the situation, will be demoted to a cane and beheaded!" ”

"But the madman of Yunlang Country is also dead in the end, so there is no need for severe punishment, but after all, you are Mu Yuan's daughter, the leader of the army, and the example of the soldiers, punishment is still necessary, and then you don't have to lead troops to fight again, in addition to the affairs of Cangxuan Pavilion, you should think about the importance of obeying military orders." Speaking of this, the corners of Qi Ling's mouth crossed a playful taste, "It's a pity that your father is missing, otherwise he can at least teach you to realize the importance of this." ”

This punishment is far more painful for Mu Yunmo than demotion, cane punishment or even beheading, Qi Ling not only cut her power to lead the troops into battle, but also mentioned the missing father three times and twice, which was the most painful in Mu Yunmo's heart.

"Subordinates obey." However, she had to accept it, because she knew that it would be useless to resist the defense at such a time.

"It's obvious who did that, from someone passing me a note to lure me away, to giving fireworks a hand and kick, and drugging you, it's all a game." Mu Yan's tone was cold and chilling.

"It's just that he didn't expect that I didn't die this time." Mu Yunmo sneered, "Now, we can only endure it, one day I will find my father and return to them everything those people did to us." ”

Mu Yan understands how hard it is for Mu Yunmo to endure all this, even if she is calm on the surface. He didn't speak, and reached out to hold Mu Yunmo's hand, which had been clenching his fist since he left the palace.

Mu Yunmo's hand was still clenched, stopped, turned her head to look at Mu Yan, and the moment she met Mu Yan's gaze, she slowly opened her hand and felt the temperature from her palm.

Mu Yan's silent but warm gaze told her, "I'm here." ”

"Brother, do you think this time things are very strange?" When Xiahou walked out of the palace, he looked at Mu Yunmo in the distance and said to his brother beside him.

"You mean Mu Yunmo disobeyed military orders?" Xiahou Yi responded to his younger brother as he walked.

"Yes, although Mu Yunmo used to be conceited and impulsive, but that was all in the past, and now she has no reason to do this." Xiahou followed in his brother's footsteps.

"As you can see, I think there's more to it than that."

"More than that?" Xiahou Yi waited curiously for Xiahou Yi's next words.

Before Xiao Ran was caught, Qi Ling just released the news to arrest him, it seemed that countless troops were busy with this matter every day, but in fact, it was all superficial work. After the death of one or two Noxian generals, Qi Ling should have realized that the enemy this time was not an idle person, and he could have sent us into action as soon as possible, but he didn't. Xiahou Yi's expression was serious, and after a pause, he turned his head to Xiahou Yi and continued: "And have you noticed that the Red Dome generals and non-commissioned officers who were killed at that time have any common characteristics? ”

"Those generals..."Recalling the list of dead soldiers at that time, Xiahou suddenly realized, "They are all people from Mu Yuan's sect!" ”

Xiahou Yi nodded, "He wants to use this person to get rid of Mu Yuan's remnants and his daughter." ”

"In this way, could that Xiao Ran be Qi Ling's person at all?"

"That's not it, I have investigated, the troops that invaded the village where Xiao Ran's parents were located back then were under the command of Qi Ling, so Xiao Ran would not be Qi Ling's people."

"So Xiao Ran also happened to be used by Qi Ling?"

"Even if Qi Ling wants to eradicate the different parties, it can't be built on the basis of sacrificing so many soldiers in the Red Dome..."Xiahou Yi's eyes showed obvious displeasure and questioning: "If this continues, what will the Red Dome become......

"Mother specially emphasized that I can't wear regular clothes for dinner today, isn't it an ordinary family dinner, and there are others?" Xuan Shao frowned and fiddled with the Xuanqing cloud pattern brocade robe on his body, he was used to wearing strong clothes or armor on weekdays, and every time he wore a court robe and the like brocade robe, he always felt extremely restrained and awkward.

"Hmm... You'll know when you go. There was a fleeting hesitation in Xuan Yue's eyes, but she didn't let Xuan Shao find out, so she naturally put aside Xuan Shao's hand and helped him smooth out the neckline.

"Alright, let's go to the main hall!" Xuan Yue seemed to deliberately avoid Xuan Shao's gaze, and quickened her pace and walked ahead of him.

When passing through the left hall, Xuan Shao saw that the table was already full of sumptuous and exquisite dishes and poured wine, and he noticed an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, so he confirmed that there were still visitors.

While guessing the identity of the visitor, he walked to the main hall, and before he reached the hall, he had already heard his mother's delicate and soft voice.

The people of Xizhao all say that it is no accident that Xuan Yue became the first lady, not only because she was born beautiful, but also because she has a mother who has been a model for Xizhao ladies for nearly thirty years. Xuan Shao and Xuan Yue's mother Yan Rujin was famous for her alluring appearance and elegant manners when she was young, even now, this woman who is more than half a hundred years old can still be described as beautiful, yes, beautiful, everyone says that the years are in a hurry, but she is extra merciful in this woman, without the slightest old age but more charming. After Xuan Shao's father died on the battlefield, his mother withstood the pressure and managed all the affairs of the Xuan Mansion alone, and took care of the family affairs in an orderly manner, so that his uncles who were eyeing the Xuan family's title and family property had no chance to take advantage of, and all kinds of external entertainment were also very appropriate, which made the family's position in Xizhao more stable, and at the same time cultivated the two children very well, continuing the family's pride and honor in this generation. Yan Rujin has long been a legendary topic in Xizhao, and the nobles are proud to be able to attend the banquet with her.

Stepping into the guest hall, Yan Rujin was sitting on the Taishi chair calmly holding the tea bowl, taking a sip and slowly placing it on the table, with just the right smile in his eyes. Today, she wears a meticulous bun, a concubine-colored ruyi pattern cardigan, and an autumn-colored pinched tooth inlaid gold-edged horse-faced skirt to make it more graceful and noble.

His mother has always been perfectly dressed, Xuan Shao was not surprised, he stepped forward to greet his mother, but then found that there was a strange woman sitting under his mother, and the woman saw Xuan Shao and Xuan Yue come in and stood up.

"Shao'er, you're here, quick, I'll introduce you." Yan Rujin got up and pulled the girl over with a smile, and said to Xuan Shao with a meaningful smile on her face: "This is the only closed disciple of the Lord of the Cangxuan Pavilion Yichen Pavilion, Dai Xue. ”
