Chapter 124: Yushu

Murong Xu was angry with his father, or he shouldn't be angry. It's just that I'm chilled by Grandpa's eccentricity. The partiality of the Murong family's father towards his son has been passed down in one line, and Murong Kui was angry with his father's partiality back then, and he couldn't help but be partial when he got to himself.

Murong Xu has been a sister-in-law since he was a child, but he has not received much attention from his father, his favorite son is Murong Ming, who is so spoiled that he can't wait to put it in the palm of his hand every day, and when he is several years old, he still holds it on his knees to meet those tribal adults. To tell the truth, the number of times he was hugged by his father when he was a child can be counted on one hand.

Eccentric to this point, how could Murong Xu have brotherly affection for those younger brothers who occupied his father's favor. It's not the same mother, how many brothers are there? What's more, even the same mother may fight for the family business.

But his father told him that only when he was kind to these younger brothers could he pass on this inheritance to him with confidence. What does this mean? Could it be that as long as he treats his younger brothers badly, he will be replaced as the son of this world?

Murong Xu was upset when he thought of this, his father only liked Murong Ming before, and now there is another Murong Hyun, this kid used to be silent, but he didn't expect that after he was fifteen years old, he would know that he would be sharp, and even his grandfather, who was indifferent to him before, began to say good things about him.

Back in his courtyard, Murong Xu grabbed the celadon bowl handed over by the maid and slammed it on the ground. Celadon is an old thing in the Central Plains, it is a treasure in Liaodong, he fell like this, and the crisp cracking sound was particularly obvious in the house.

The maids were so frightened that they retreated, to avoid those porcelain pieces flying in and cutting themselves, but also for fear that Murong Xu's anger would burn on their bodies.

When Murong Xu's chief servant Li Yang came in, he saw the celadon fragments in the ground, and those maids retreated to the corner of the wall, all of them lowered their faces, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Shizi, what's wrong with you?" Li Yang is Murong Xu's chief official, and many of Murong Xu's things have to pass through his hands, except for Murong Xu's wife, Li Yang is the closest to him.

"Grandpa said to me today, I am the eldest brother, and I should be tolerant and loving to the younger brothers below." Speaking of this, Murong Xu sneered to himself, he wanted to be tolerant of his younger brothers, but Grandpa also had to be an example, at least a bowl of water was even. It's a pity that his grandfather, killing his half-brother and half-brother is extremely easy, so many uncles were killed by himself and only a few are left, he is very partial and partial, and now it is good, telling him to take care of his younger brothers. He himself has been like that, and what kind of face does he have to say those things to him?

"Shizi, it's normal for the king to be like this." Li Yang knew that Murong Xu's heart was sick, and there was nothing wrong with a father, if he was, he also thought that his sons could be brothers and sisters.

"If he can treat everyone equally, I would be willing, but he once wanted to make Murong Ming his son to replace me. I can't swallow this breath. Murong Xu retired from the maid, and only Murong Xu and Li Yang were left in the room.

"What's more, Grandpa himself killed his two brothers of the same mother back then, but now he is asking so much of me, don't you think it's too ridiculous?" When Murong Xu said this, the smile on his face became more and more cold. Fathers do not set an example, but instead demand harmony among their sons, which is simply a fool's dream.

"Look, the king is old." Li Yang pondered for a moment or two and said to Murong Xu.

"......" Li Yang's words made the resentment on Murong Xu's face subside a little, and he looked over, "How do you say this?" "Murong Xu never felt that Murong Kui was old.

Not long ago, he added several younger brothers to him, who could do that with a woman, and also make a woman pregnant, and he didn't look like an old man.

"As the saying goes, 'old and kind'," Li Yang smiled at Murong Xu's gaze, not feeling restless, "Older people often think about their son's future, and they are also worried about whether the eldest son will take care of the younger brother below. Didn't the prince think that the king's words were actually explaining the aftermath? ”

Murong Kui's words sounded like a threat to Murong Xu, where was the explanation of the future.

"Tell me about the aftermath? Explain the aftermath that means that if I don't be nicer to my brothers, can't I pass on this inheritance to me? Murong Xu said this with a burst of indignation.

"The king just said that, as long as the prince can satisfy the king on the surface, then the position of the prince is as stable as Mount Tai." Li Yang smiled, "It's just a few more smiles on the Langjun below, can't the prince do this?" ”

"Difficult." Murong Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "After a few brothers, those children will not be mentioned, the second child is naturally a kind person, but the third and fourth are not vegetarians, the fourth child has been loved by Grandpa since he was a child, and the third child has been in front of Grandpa since the first two or three years, and now he is leading troops alone and has his own generals." He frowned, "If he is faithful, it would be fine, but I don't think he's anything extraordinary." "This younger brother was very respectful in his face and couldn't find the slightest mistake in what he said or did.

But this is terrible, even if it is the second child, sometimes he will inadvertently say something that makes people angry, but the third child will not, his dripping water does not leak, which makes people feel disobedient, maybe others can't see it, but he always feels that when the third child looks at him, there is no emotion in his eyes.

It's as if he's not a living thing.

"The son of the world can't do it." Li Yang suddenly sat up, "Now that the king is old, the most important thing for an old man is his own posthumous affairs, as long as the prince has done enough in front of the king, then the king can rest assured that the Yan Kingdom will be handed over to the prince." Li Yang frowned when he saw Murong Xu, and had to add, "Has the prince forgotten Emperor Hanjing's Li Ji?" The foolishness of Chestnut Ji is enough to take it as a warning. ”

“…… Li Ji is just a Ji of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, can't she be compared to me, right? Murong Xu couldn't help but be displeased when he heard that Li Yang actually compared him to a Li Ji.

"Naturally, it can't be compared with the son of the world, but the meaning is the same." Li Yang said with a smile, "The prince of the world is in a hurry and be patient!" ”

Murong Xu is not a stupid person, he naturally knows that his elder official's words are reasonable, and if he wants to stabilize Murong Kui at the moment, the only way is to be kind to those younger brothers, so that Murong Kui can rest assured.

In fact, there is another way, which is to lead the troops to the expedition by himself, and he is recognized by the Xianbei generals and many tribal adults who have taken refuge in the Murong Yan Kingdom. By then, he will be hard to shake. It's a pity that Murong Kui believes that the son of the daughter of the Han people can't sit down. Murong Kui would rather go out on his own than let his son go out.

When the road of conquest does not work, then only the method that Li Yang said is left.

"It's a pity that my aunt left early." Murong Xu let out a long breath, and when he talked about his mother, his expression softened.

"There have been changes in the princess's mother's tribe, and I am afraid that there is nothing to be done about the matter of the son." Li Yang gave Murong Xu a sentence on his back foot.

Murong Xu's mother was also from a big tribe back then, but she herself left early, and in her mother's tribe more than ten years ago, there was a matter of a son killing his father and seizing the throne and standing on his own, and it was very troublesome for a while, and it was not his uncle who came to power in the end.

Therefore, the uncle's family really didn't help Murong Xu at all.

"Just as the gentleman said." Murong Xu sighed and said to Li Yang.

Li Yang said goodbye to Murong Xu.

*

The matter of moving the capital is according to the habit of the Xianbei people, Murong Kui, the king of Yan, came first, and the ministers of Murong Yan came later, but it was the female dependents of the Murong family who were faster than the ministers.

Except for the Han concubines who married with the Han people, the rest of the ladies were Xianbei or Xiongnu noblewomen, who had been on horseback since they were children, and they didn't have any hard work at all.

A few days after Murong Kui arrived in Jicheng, those female dependents also arrived, and Jicheng suddenly became lively.

Jicheng was occupied by the Beiqian people before, but there were many Han people in the city, and there were not a few who did business. Dragon City and Big Thorn City were places where birds didn't poop in the past. Where can it be compared to the prosperity of Jicheng, and suddenly the merchants of Jicheng began to appear in the various mansions of the Murong family with various brocades and jewelry.

Naturally, men don't say that they can't afford these things for women, as long as they don't spend a lot of money, they basically turn a blind eye.

Gao Yushu and Zhe Na also rushed over from Dragon City, Zhe Na is okay, anyway, since she was five or six years old, she was held by her grandfather on horseback and learned to ride a horse. However, Gao Yushu is a little miserable, the women of Goguryeo are not as strong as the Xianbei women and the Xiongnu women, they are all raised as delicate and noble women, and they are arrogant and expensive, and they are driven down all the way, Gao Yushu has suffered a lot on the road, and when she arrived in Jicheng, the whole person lost a lot of weight.

Like Gao Yushu, there are many noble girls who can't stand the bumps on the road, but most of them are young girls or women from the Han family. For example, Gao's niece Gao Shenai vomited every day on the road, and she couldn't even feed rice and water, and she vomited as much as she ate, so people couldn't get up from lying there.

When they arrived at Murong Hyun's mansion, the two of them entered through the side door and were arranged by the steward in different courtyards. Zhena and Gao Yushu were already torn their faces, and the two of them didn't like each other, so Zhena didn't care about Gao Yushu's pale face, just turned her head and left, without even giving her a look.

Gao Yushu didn't bother to take care of Zhenna, a white captive, and went back to her own yard directly.

The yard was in order, everything was already arranged, just ask someone to put the clothes that had been brought with them into the closet.

The maids were busy, and Gao Yushu sat in front of the mirror, looking at the face reflected in the bronze mirror. Although his cheeks have lost weight because of the fatigue of the carriage and horses, his appearance is more and more beautiful than before. She is like a peony, as she grows older, she becomes more and more moving.

Murong Hyun almost didn't care about the concubines in the mansion, but no one deducted their use, at least the ginseng that Goguryeo paid tribute to, except for some of the ginseng that went into the treasury, the rest was ground into powder and sent over.

Ginseng powder is used to apply to the face, which can make the skin white and delicate. Goguryeo is rich in ginseng, which is why the skin of Goguryeo noblewomen is as white and delicate as fat.

If it was still in Marudu Castle before, it would have been used. But here in Murong Xianbei, Gao Yushu always feels that she is a plaything, and she uses these things to take good care of herself, making it white and tender, which is convenient for Murong Xian.

"Mrs. Gao, it's time to wipe powder today." Gao Yushu was looking in the mirror sentimentally, and a woman next to her came over and placed a lacquer box in front of her.

Applying ginseng powder every day is what Gao Yushu needs to do every day. Even if she refuses, there are people staring at her, and it is a joke to want to be independent.

"I see." Gao Yushu had just arrived in the house, and the fatigue on her body had not yet faded, and she was about to be forced to apply powder, so she was on fire in her heart, so she slammed the grate in her hand on the mirror platform.

"Mrs. Gao is still less temperamental." The woman who came didn't take Gao Yushu in her eyes at all, these concubines seem to be noble, but except for Zhenna, who was born in the Duanbu, Gao Yushu, who almost became a princess of the dead country, is just a plaything of the master in the eyes of everyone, and the usual scary people will naturally be respectful when they see Gao Yushu, but unfortunately some people will not buy her account.

"Come on, wait for Mrs. Gao to clean her face." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Gao Yushu again, "Lord Lang just sent someone to pass the word, saying that after a while, Mrs. Gao will go to perform." If Mrs. Gao goes with a tired look, I'm afraid I don't know what to do when the time comes. ”

The so-called performance is to dance in front of several people, Murong Hyun let Gao Yushu learn Goguryeo dance for so long, this will also be a teacher.

If something happens to Gao Yushu in front of everyone, unless Murong Hyun takes a fancy to her, I'm afraid the end will be worrying.

Gao Yushu's body shook and nodded, "I know." "Well, under the guidance of the maid, go and clean your face.

After the woman came out, she and her companions bit their ears, "They are all ruined, and they dare to show off their power in front of us, and they really can't be the princess who is still that golden and delicate princess!" ”

"I'm going to be in front of Lord Lang in a few days, and when the time comes, according to that temperament, maybe there will be some more moths, and then we'll wait to see a good show!" The companions were also not used to seeing Gao Yushu's shame and arrogance, and the two remembered what would happen if Gao Yushu accidentally offended Murong Hyun, and immediately laughed.

The water and the beans were immediately presented, and after bathing her hair and changing into a new round of clothes under the service of the maid, she sat down in front of the mirror and asked the maid to comb her black hair.

The box containing the ginseng powder was opened by the maid, who took a ball of cloth and carefully pounced the powder evenly on her cheeks, neck, and exposed shoulders.

Gao Yushu's skin is already delicate, and with the daily application of ginseng powder, her skin is as white as snow.

Even the maid who served her felt hot in the eyes when she looked at it.

After packing up, Gao Yushu threw the things in her hand to the side of the mirror, "You all go out." ”

Gao Yushu's temper is weird for more than a day or two, and the maids don't have anything to do when she is happy, but if she gets angry, it is already a trivial matter for those maids to be slapped by her.

When the maids saw this posture, they knew that she would lose her temper again inexplicably, and they did not dare to stay long, lest she go crazy again. After a while, they all hung their heads and went out.

When she was the only one left in the room, Gao Yushu went to take out a box, she didn't open it, put it in her hand and weighed it, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

Murong Hyun was finally willing to see her.

Gao Yushu still remembers the day when the city of Marudu was broken, everyone in the royal city was in danger, and her father, who loved her the most on weekdays, led a few people to say that he was going to fight Murong Jun to the death, and he would never let the temple fall into the hands of this group of white prisoners. But that was the last time she saw her father, and then Murong's army invaded the royal city, and she and her sisters, as well as her grandmother and mother, were escorted to Dragon City, and after that, her sisters became the concubines of the Murong family's men.

If Murong hadn't come in back then, she and her many sisters would still be high-ranking princesses of Goguryeo, where would it be their turn to let a group of white captives give orders to them?

She is unwilling, unwilling!

Gao Yushu hugged the box in her arms tightly, and the anger in her eyes kept floating.

*

Jicheng has been very busy for a while, but there is no war around it for the time being, and good news for Ran Wei has been coming frequently. So Murong Yanguo can do a good job of moving the capital for the time being, Murong Kui is here, those Murong family's female dependents are also here, and then, the adults of the Xianbei tribe also rushed over with their subordinates, and the Han people also dragged their families to Jicheng.

Suddenly, Jicheng, which was originally a little deserted, became lively.

Murong Hyun was very busy for a while at the beginning, even if he didn't need to fight for the time being, but there were a lot of bits and pieces in the moving capital, and he was very busy. Those people below didn't dare to bother Murong Kui about some things, and they didn't dare to ask Shizi, so they could only come to ask him for ideas.

For a while, Murong Hyun was not much better than when he was fighting.

Qin Xuan stayed in Murong Hyun's mansion, although she also helped Murong Hyun dispose of the paperwork, but she smiled and laughed when she saw Murong Hyun busy and eager to run fast on two legs. After laughing, continue to help.

Finally, when they could rest for a while, Murong Hyun and Qin Xuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Murong Hyun's appearance looked more calm, he looked at Qin Xuan who was closing his eyes and recuperating over there, and said, "How about watching a song and dance at night?" ”

This bystander can't find fault, the pro-soldier is close to the main general, even if the pro-soldier has been released, and then go to the main general's mansion, or even cook for a few days, it is quite normal, not to mention doing some things that men often do together.

Qin Xuan's busy eyes hurt, dealing with those paperwork is really more tiring than fighting. It's a pity that Murong Hyun said that if he wants to go one step further, he doesn't rely on light energy to fight, but also learns how to write official documents and handle the affairs of his subordinates. She thought of it as a workout ahead of time.

"Okay." Qin Xuan also felt that she was a little tired recently, and she needed some * life to soothe her, and when she heard Murong Hyun say this, she didn't want to come down directly.

Seeing this, Murong Hyun asked people to order Gao Yushu to be brought out at night.

Qin Xuan yawned, found a place to sleep in Murong Hyun's study, this eye can't be made into short-sightedness, and he doesn't even have glasses, do you have to wait to touch the blind man in the future?

Naturally, it is necessary to take good care.

She woke up from a good night's sleep, and it wasn't long before it was dark.

Before, Qin Xuan thought that the ancient nightlife was to eat and wash his face, and then lie on the bed early, basically sleep no more than seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and wake up in the early morning morning, it is good to say in the barracks, after all, it is also very early when he goes out for morning exercises, and he is not afraid that he has nothing to do, but it is not here in Murong Hyun, and no one will come to wake up until a certain time.

In some nightlife, she also slept until dawn.

Because of the recent war, coupled with the relocation of the capital to Jicheng, Murong's move to the south is also a great joy, and the dishes prepared at night are also extraordinarily rich, and a whole roasted whole sheep was carried up.

It is not the kind raised by ordinary people, but grazing on the grassland casually, because it is not raised in captivity and often runs on the grassland, and the mutton does not have a trace of fishy taste.

Qin Xuan ate a few pieces, and was a little nostalgic for the previous mutton shabu. Cut into a thin slice, roll it in the hot pot for a few times and cook it thoroughly, and then stick it to the oil dish, and the taste in the mouth is excellent.

But how to do this, Qin Xuan really didn't know what to do. Before the crossing, it was naturally made by the store, and you can also go to the supermarket to buy soup stock by yourself. But this time, if she wanted to think about the raw materials, she could only stare at her.

"Don't you like to watch singing and dancing the most?" Murong Hyun ate a few bites of roast mutton and talked to her with great interest, "I asked someone to prepare one today." ”

Murong Hyun found out about her hobby, Qin Xuan was a little strange at first, but then the two of them were together for a long time. She didn't take it to heart either.

The dagger in Qin Xuan's hand didn't stop, and he cut off a piece of meat from the leg of mutton and dipped it in a little sauce and stuffed it into his mouth, "Okay." ”

After a short time, a group of musicians came up, and these musicians were all dressed in Goguryeo clothes. Goguryeo is still white, so the Goguryeo people also wear white.

Musicians sit behind hanging bamboo curtains with gacoon fiddles in their hands, as well as other instruments from Goguryeo and Baekje.

After a while, a young girl dressed in white gauze came, with a beautiful face, a slender figure, a small drum hanging on her chest and abdomen, and two drum hammers in her hands were also small and delicate, and a long ribbon was embellished at the end.

Gao Yushu walked in and saluted Murong Hyun at the top, and when she saw Qin Xuan, she reluctantly saluted her.

In Gao Yushu's view, these two are the culprits that cause Goguryeo to be immortal today, and it is really shameful to bow the knee to the enemy.

During this time in Murong Hyun's mansion, she had already let her know that she had to clean up all the expressions on her face in front of Murong Hyun, at least in front of her.

Goguryeo music sounded, Gao Yushu grabbed the music beat, and danced in front of the two, Goguryeo's dance lies in liveliness and lightness, so the dancer must be thin when dancing this dance, otherwise it will not look good when dancing.

Gao Yushu had seen a lot of dancing girls dance in the royal city before, and she knew what kind of posture she should put on. The ribbon on the hammer of the drum slashed an elegant arc through the air as she danced.

Murong Hyun didn't show much interest in Gao Yushu's performance, he leaned his arm on the table, and glanced at Qin Xuan from time to time, but Qin Xuan couldn't take his eyes off it.

The beauty dances, especially this beauty dances quite well, no matter what, she has to watch it carefully, so as to respect the performer.

Gao Yushu jumped seriously, and it could be seen that it had taken a lot of effort.

After the dance, according to the rules of Goguryeo, after the dance, the dancing girl will serve wine to the host and guests. Gao Yushu put down the drum hammer in her hand and stepped forward to pour wine for Murong Hyun.

Murong Hyun shook his head, "Go to General Qin." ”

Gao Yushu lowered her head and walked towards Qin Xuan in response.

Qin Xuan has always been very tolerant of beautiful girls, after all, when she sees a beautiful person, her mood will be much better, of course, if the beauty has a weird temperament, she will not be sensitive.

Gao Yushu personally poured a bottle of wine and sent it to Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan thanked the result, and bowed his head. Gao Yushu's drooping eyes suddenly poured out endless murderous aura.

Qin Xuan had been rolling on the battlefield for a long time, where would she not notice, she raised her head, and saw Gao Yushu pull out a dagger from behind her chest drum, she had a hideous face, and pounced on Qin Xuan.

Even if you can't kill Murong Hyun, it's good to kill his sweetheart.

"Ah Xuan!" Murong Hyun saw Gao Yushu smiling and rushed over, he subconsciously screamed, grabbed a porcelain bowl in his hand and threw it at Gao Yushu.

Qin Xuan also reacted quickly enough, she kicked over the low case in front of her. She was born with divine power, and her strength was also great, and the wooden case that was kicked over was kicked up and flew towards Gao Yushu's head and face.

The porcelain bowl that Murong Hyun threw over was not light, and it slammed heavily on her head, and it bloomed on the spot. Before Gao Yushu could cry out in pain, the desk smashed on her head, and the food and wine on the original case also threw herself into the body.

Gao Yushu was still a delicate noblewoman in the end, not a big man, and immediately fell to the ground.

When the musicians saw the assassination, they screamed and fled.

The guards guarding outside also rushed in.

Murong Hyun strode over and kicked the case that smashed on Gao Yushu's head, Gao Yushu lay on the ground, bleeding from the place where she was smashed, and there was a big wound on her forehead, which seemed to be disfigured.

Gao Yushu used to be known as the first beauty of Goguryeo, but when she arrived, the first beauty no longer existed.

Murong Hyun's eyes were cold, he ignored Gao Yushu's dirt, reached out and grabbed her hair and dragged her up, "Say, who instructed you?" ”

Now, Gao Yushu doesn't have to hide anything, there is a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she stares at Murong Hyun and doesn't speak. If it weren't for the fact that her scalp was being pulled and it really hurt, she would have to spit on Murong Hyun well.

"Take her down, whatever you may do, pry her mouth open." Murong Hyun looked at the warriors who rushed in, "Don't let her die besides." ”

As he spoke, he threw the woman in his hand to the ground as if he had thrown a tatte, and the broken porcelain pierced into the woman's delicate snow-white skin, and suddenly red blood flowed out.

The warriors immediately dragged Gao Yushu up, and when Gao Yushu heard Murong Hyun's words, she immediately bit her tongue and committed suicide, but unfortunately the warriors had already expected it and took a ball of cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qin Xuan watched that in just a few back and forth, the room became a mess, she stood with her chest crossed, and sighed heavily.
