"Nangong Mo knocks to see His Majesty." It's still that imperial study, and Xiao Qianye's temper seems to be worse after a day. Kneeling on one knee, Nangong Mo's face was calm and unwavering, but his heart was secretly slandering.

Xiao Qianye's temper is indeed not good, especially when he sees Nangong Mo at the bottom.

"The Lord of Star City looks to be doing well?" Xiao Qianye grinded his teeth sadly. Nangong Mo raised his head, pursed his lips and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty has won the award, not as good as Your Majesty." "She didn't sleep all night last night, where can she compare to Xiao Qianye, who slept peacefully last night? Xiao Qianye's face became even more difficult to look at, but he finally remembered the reason why he summoned Nangong Mo to come, and said in a deep voice: "The county lord get up." ”

"Thank you." Nangong Mo was not polite, and simply got up and patted the dust on his knees.

There was silence in the imperial study for a while, and Nangong Mo was not in a hurry, calmly waiting for Xiao Qianye to speak. After a long time, Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice: "The edict of the emperor's grandfather, is the county lord really willing to take it out to me?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Qianye, and said, "So, is Your Majesty willing to let Jun Mo go?" ”

Xiao Qianye sneered and said, "You are doing your best for him!" Nangong Mo sighed, "No way, if he dies, won't I be a widow?" It's hard for a widow in this world. The corners of Xiao Qianye's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "The county lord hasn't answered my words yet. Nangong Mo didn't beat around the bush either, and said with a smile: "The edict of the first emperor is of no use to me. Even if it's for Your Majesty, it won't do me any good, if I can exchange it for my husband's life, why don't I want to? By the way, Your Majesty knows where I got this edict? ”

Xiao Qianye was silent, looking at Nangong Mo fixedly.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "I got it in the hands of Concubine Lin." So if Concubine Lin hadn't died, maybe you would have known about it a long time ago. Of course, Xiao Qianye still remembered that he also had a credit for Concubine Lin's death. It's just that I didn't expect that old woman to put herself together before she died.

Speaking of Lin Guifei, Nangong Mo was still a little guilty. The reason why Lin Guifei died so simply was actually to keep the secret of the edict, although she herself didn't know what the content of the edict was. But this edict was exchanged by her with Xiao Qianye. However, after Wei Junmo entered the prison, Nangong Mo still opened the edict and read it. The content is not much different from what she originally guessed, to be honest, such an edict is really not worth accompanying Concubine Lin's life. Of course, I hope that Xiao Qianye will not faint in anger when he receives the edict.

"So, as long as I let Wei Junmo go, you will tell me the edict. And swear, it will never leak out? Xiao Qianye didn't want to mention Lin Guifei, so she coldly pulled the topic back.

Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing." ”

Seeing that Xiao Qianye was about to get angry, Nangong Mo said: "Isn't it when I am a three-year-old child?" You released Jun Mo today, but do you know that you won't be caught again tomorrow? ”

"And what do you want?" Xiao Qianye said coldly.

Nangong Mo said: "Please announce that the case of King Zhou and King Anjun has nothing to do with Jun Mo and Qianjiong." In addition, we are leaving Jinling, please let your majesty go. ”

Nangong Mo's conditions Xiao Qianye was not surprised, but he was not happy, and said coldly: "You guys? ”

"The three sons of the Yan Palace, me, Jun Mo, and the eldest princess." Nangong Mo smiled lightly.

"No way!" Xiao Qianye flatly refused, "You can go, Aunt Changping must stay!" ”

Nangong Mo looked at Xiao Qianye calmly, shook his head and said, "Since Your Majesty is already planning to give in, why should you be so unwilling?" Parents are here, not far away. If the mother stays in Jinling, and the mother only has Jun Mo under her knees, how can we leave our mother alone? In addition, if it is difficult to say that if Jun Mo wants to do something, does His Majesty think that a princess of Changping can really be restrained? ”

Xiao Qianye's face changed, stared at Nangong Mo and said coldly: "You really know!" ”

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said lightly: "If it weren't for that, how could His Majesty suddenly be in trouble?" Your Majesty, with all due respect, if you listen too much to the Mandate of Heaven, maybe you will achieve the Mandate of Heaven. What is the effect of no cause? ”

Xiao Qianye sneered and didn't speak, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and he didn't care.

After a while, Xiao Qianye said: "I can promise you what you said, and bring the edict." ”

Nangong Mo smiled, "Is Your Majesty laughing?" I've seen His Majesty's methods more than once, so before I get out of Jinling, how can I call out the life talisman? Xiao Qianye's squinting eyes and face were like frost, Nangong Mo's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "With my original temper, I have always believed in a tooth for a tooth. His Majesty has shot at Yan Wangfu one after another, but I have never reciprocated one or two, and I have always felt ashamed. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Qianye said. Nangong Mo looked at Xiao Qianye on the dragon chair with a vigilant expression, and couldn't help but smile, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, I haven't been bold enough to assassinate Your Majesty directly in the palace." ”

Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "Enough, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." I agreed to the conditions you said, and I immediately sent Wei Junmo away, and sent you out of the city in three days. How do you plan to give the edict to me? ”

Nangong Mo said: "My Majesty sent someone to escort us away, and after leaving Jinling for two hundred miles, I will hand over the address containing the edict to the person who saw us off." Then, we left on our own, and His Majesty went to collect the edict himself. How is it? ”

"Why should I believe you?" Xiao Qianye asked.

Nangong Mo rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart, "In the same way, I also asked His Majesty, why should I believe His Majesty?" The atmosphere in the study was a little stiff for a while, and after a while, I only heard Xiao Qianye sneer: "I believe in you again, but you remember, if I don't get the things Nangong Hui, Nangong Xu and Jinling."

Gong Hui, Nangong Xu, and all the people in Jinling City who have a relationship with you, I will not let go of any of them! ”

Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, Your Majesty feels that you can rest assured." "It was as if she had lied to him many times.

"Humph!" Xiao Qianye snorted coldly and said, "In addition, since the county lord is leaving Jinling, then the title of the county lord of Star City"

Nangong Mohun didn't care, "Whatever." "I fell out with the emperor, what's the use of having an emperor give me a knighthood? At most, it is the income of the county lord's fortune and fief every year, and she is not short of money.

Xiao Qianye was not polite, picked up the imperial pen on the spot and wrote a few lines on the blank bright yellow silk silk, covered it with the jade seal, and threw it to Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo raised his hand and took it in his hand: Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The lord of Xingcheng County lost his honor in front of the emperor and was demoted to a concubine. Take the title of county lord. Wei Junmo, the son of the eldest princess, has nothing to do with the case of King Zhou's son, and he will be released from prison immediately, Qin this! ”

It's really simple and rude, and it's a ghost in front of the emperor. Well, maybe she is like this, and it can indeed be regarded as a loss of honor in front of the emperor.

Putting away the holy decree, Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Nangong Mo retired." ”

"Get out!"

In the Yanwang Mansion, Princess Changping waited in the lobby with Xiao Qianchi and a few people a little anxiously. I heard the joyful voice of the subordinate outside the door, "The son is back, the county lord is back!" ”

Princess Changping was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet her, "Jun'er! ”

"Mother." Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo came in hand in hand, followed by Xiao Qianjiong, who looked a little aggrieved. Princess Changping pulled the two of them to look at each other, then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Qianjiong with concern and said, "What kind of hardships do you suffer in the prison?" Why is Jiong'er's face so ugly? ”

Xiao Qianjiong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, aunt." I just didn't sleep well. He looked at his cousin who was still calm and relaxed next to him with some grievances, obviously the two of them entered the prison together, why was the cousin still so personable when he came out, and he was the only one who seemed to have really been in prison?

Princess Changping nodded, "It's okay, my aunt asked someone to make soup for you, so make up for it." ”

Xiao Qianjiong's eyes lit up, "Thank you, aunt, aunt loves Jiong'er the most." "In the past few days, eating that light and tasteless meal in the prison cell, Xiao Qianjiong has long been hungry. As soon as I heard that it was beneficial, my eyes lit up. Nangong Mo next to him looked at Xiao Qianjiong, who looked greedy, shook his head, and said angrily: "Don't think about eating first, let's make this matter clear first." ”

Xiao Qianjiong's eyes rolled, and he glanced at the people around him who were staring at him, and sat down next to Princess Changping. Princess Changping lovingly favored her nephew's head, but still recruited someone to send him a stack of snacks, and also asked: "Flawless is right, what is going on this time?" We can't figure it out at home, so we can only do it in a hurry. ”

Xiao Qianjiong's eyes blinked, "Hasn't my cousin-in-law already found out?" "It's obvious that Xiao Qianye's bastard framed them.

Nangong Mo said lightly: "It's true that it's true, but it doesn't mean that there can't be anything else in it." Otherwise, why don't people look for you and frame you? ”

Xiao Qianjiong pouted and said, "I'm unlucky, the eldest brother and the second brother don't like to go out." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Originally, you didn't have a chance to go out at all. Originally, Xiao Qianjiong was supposed to copy books at home, but he couldn't go out at all. It was also a temporary decision to go out that day, and even if Xiao Qianye was good at calculation, it was impossible for him to make up his mind so quickly to design Wei Junmo. This is clearly that the other party knew in advance that he would go out that day, so he designed it that way.

"The people around me," Xiao Qianjiong said. Nangong Mo said: "The people around you died as soon as they entered the prison, and there is no proof of death, and nothing can be found." ”

Xiao Qianjiong suddenly drooped his head, and thought about it with a rare sad face.

"The third brother told us about going out that day, and the second brother and I agreed when we thought that he was leaving Jinling. Then the third brother went out, and it took less than a quarter of an hour, and even if someone knew, there was no time to arrange it. Xiao Qianchi frowned.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Who knew you wanted to go out and have fun?" ”

Xiao Qianjiong shook his head, lowered his head and said, "The little guy who was waiting next to me said a few words the night before, and there was nothing else. ”

Nangong Mo sighed lightly and said, "Since this is the case, let's do it first." Have you all packed up? We left Beijing three days later. ”

Princess Changping was slightly stunned, "Leave Beijing in three days, Your Majesty is there"

Nangong Mo said: "Your Majesty has agreed, does my mother have anything else to do?" ”

Princess Changping shook her head and said, "No, I know, I'll go back and see who people and things I want to take with me." ”

"It's hard work mother." Nangong Mo nodded.

Princess Changping shook her head and said with a light smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't left Jinling for more than 20 years, so it's okay to go out for a walk." ”

Bidding farewell to Princess Changping, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo returned to their courtyard hand in hand.

"Flawless, I've worked hard for you today." Nangong Mo stood at the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, Wei Junmo stood behind him, stretched out his hand to circle her into his arms and whispered. After bathing just now, there was a faint amount of moisture in his arms, which made Nangong Mo's heart relax, and leaned back into his arms, "It's nothing, it's just idle to play with Xiao Qianye." You're okay in the prison, are you? ”

Wei Junmo shook his head, "I should have done these things, but I didn't expect it."

Nangong Mo chuckled, "Who made Wei Gongzi outstanding and hated?" I went to Youzhou, but what are my plans? ”

Wei Junmo thought for a while and said, "I'm about going to the army." My uncle has always wanted me to go to Youzhou Army, and now there are no more wars in Daxia than Youzhou and Xizhou. Uncle was injured in his early years, Qianzhi is not good at military art and martial arts, Qianwei Qianjiong is still young"

Nangong Mo turned to him and asked

He asked, "What about me?" ”

Wei Junmo was stunned, looking at her threatening eyes, a very shallow smile appeared on his lips, "You can do whatever you want." ”

"Can I go to the army?" Nangong Mo asked. Wei Junmo didn't care, "Haven't you been there?" ”

Can that be the same? Last time, she ran by herself, and she could only be regarded as a temporary worker. If he stayed in the army openly, King Yan might not agree.

Wei Junmo lowered his head, lightly touched his forehead on her smooth forehead, and said, "Don't worry, it's my business." I said you can do whatever you want. Nangong Mo became happy at this time, smiled and leaned back into his arms, and said, "By the way, how do you plan to settle Zixiao Palace?" ”

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Nangong Mo said angrily: "After all, Zixiao Hall is a well-known killer organization, haven't you felt it this time?" If it is the people in the rivers and lakes, they naturally don't have to care, but it is a very sensitive matter to say it to the people in the court. Which of those officials is not cowardly and afraid of death, how can they tolerate your dignified princess's son manipulating a killer organization in his hands? They are afraid that they will not even be able to sleep well. Similarly, even if you go to Youzhou, it is not easy to deal with. Most of the generals in the army like to be above board, and they are only afraid that they are more insensitive to the organization of killers. ”

Wei Jun Mo smiled and said, "I thought that Flawless was very interested in Zixiao Palace." Don't worry about this problem, Zixiao Hall didn't plan to keep zài all the time. It was just about making money. ”

“？？” Nangong Mo only felt a black line on his face, and couldn't help asking: "I haven't asked you, what are you going to do with so much money?" "Don't tell her he really plans to rebel and play a troubled game.

Wei Junmo sighed and said, "Now that we are all leaving Beijing, you might as well sue sù." In the early years, all the money from Zixiao Hall was sent to Youzhou. ”

"Huh?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and soon understood: "King Yan's military expenses? Could it be that the imperial court still dares to deduct the military salary of the border army? ”

Wei Junmo said: "The battle of military power in Youzhou is in the hands of Uncle Yan Wang, although the imperial court also appoints generals, but it is not very useful. In order to prevent the vassal king from supporting his own troops, Youzhou Wei actually only had 100,000 soldiers and horses. However, in the early years, the climate was not good, whether it was the Northern Yuan or the Great Summer harvest, the Northern Yuan people would go south to harass the border when they had no grain and grass for the winter. The border of Youzhou is long, what is 100,000 soldiers and horses enough for? ”

Nangong Mo frowned and said, "I remember that the Youzhou Iron Guard is 400,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Wei Junmo said: "There are still 300,000, in the name of the Yan Wangfu's personal soldiers, that is, the private army." This is considered common among the vassal kings who guard the border passes. However, the military salary given by the imperial court was only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest had to be handled by the vassal king himself. Youzhou is bitter and cold, and it is not a rich place. If you want to raise these 300,000 soldiers and horses, instead of increasing taxes, you can only find another way. ”

"I see." Nangong Mo understood this. It's no wonder that Wei Junmo doesn't have enough Zixiao Palace, which is making gold every day, and he is looking for money everywhere, and even the treasure of the Han King has been snatched. Raising an army has been a money-burning thing since ancient times.

"Does the Emperor know about these beforehand?" Nangong Mo said with some curiosity. Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows, "It's really because I can't let the first emperor know that I can only mingle in the rivers and lakes." "If you are doing business, when the business is big, you will inevitably have to deal with officialdom, and the first emperor may not find clues if he has many eyes and ears.

"You won't give the treasure of King Han to King Yan as well, right?" Nangong Mo asked.

Wei Junmo smiled slightly, lowered his head and landed a light kiss on her forehead and said, "Don't worry, I will keep your share." ”

"So you're actually a poor bastard?" Nangong Mo secretly stroked his forehead, remembering someone's curiosity when he made a few hundred thousand taels, and now he found out that the money of the local tyrant was not his own at all? Wei Junmo was stunned, and said with a light smile: "It can also be said that it is flawless, I will rely on you to raise it in the future." Like, I'm really going to eat soft rice. ”

Nangong Mo raised his head and looked at him carefully for a long time, before he nodded and said, "For the sake of this face, this girl will barely support you." ”

"Reluctantly?" Wei Junmo asked in a low voice.

"Uh" Nangong ink slag eyes, looking at a pair of calm purple eyes in front of him appreciatively, "It doesn't seem to be so reluctant"
