Xiao Qianwei stepped into the study and saw Zhu Chuyu sitting behind the bookcase and picking up a book, and he didn't even look up when he came in. Only Zhu'er, who was waiting on the side, was slightly blessed, Xiao Qianwei raised his eyebrows, "What is Chu Yu writing?" Zhu Chuyu didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I'll write a letter to my father." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianwei couldn't help frowning. Gao Yihou is Xiao Qianye's person, at this time, Zhu Chuyu wrote a letter to Gao Yihou, if it reaches the ears of his father and eldest brother, it is not a good thing for them.

Zhu Chuyu smiled lightly: "Husband, don't worry, since the concubine is already the daughter-in-law of Yan Wangfu, she is naturally dedicated to the sake of Yan Wangfu." Husband, take a look? ”

After that, he handed the unfinished letter to Xiao Qianwei. Xiao Qianwei took it and looked at it with some doubts, but couldn't help but be stunned, "This... How sure is Chu Yu? Zhu Chuyu smiled and said: "My father is not a pedantic person, and it is not difficult to move him. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianwei also had a little more smile on his face, and said softly: "If it really happens, you should also be remembered in front of your father." ”

Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes and said: "Since we are husband and wife, what is the difference between you and me?" Being able to share worries for her husband is a blessing for a concubine. ”

Xiao Qianwei patted Zhu Chuyu's hand, and the two sat down hand in hand. Zhu'er looked at the two of them, covered her lips and snickered and quietly retreated.

Xiao Qianwei pondered for a moment and said, "Although Chu Yu has the heart to share his father's worries, but... Even if you say that Gao Yihou is moved, I'm afraid it's a little ......" Xiao Qianwei didn't say it directly, but Zhu Chuyu could understand what he meant. Although the Gaoyi Marquis Mansion seems to be very prominent in Jinling now, it is only on the surface. In terms of power in the court, there is no one in the Zhu family who can get on the stage and hold heavy power. In private, it is not as good as those families behind him. Even if the Zhu family intends to take refuge in the Yan Palace, before Jinling is breached, the help they can give to the Yan Mansion is actually very limited.

At this point, in fact, the Gaoyi Marquis Mansion is really not as good as Wei Junmo. The eldest son of the Qin family is now under the command of Wei Gongzi, and the eldest son of the Lin family is a friend of Wei Junmo who grew up together, since he has been kicked out of the Lin family, but he can't write two Lin characters in one stroke, and the head of the Lin family is always his own father. And the mother family of Nangong Mo of the Xie family is a world friend, although the Meng family has long ceased to exist, but the old lady of the Xie family is still there, and the friendship between the Xie and Meng families is always a little bit.

Zhu Chuyu obviously understood this truth, and said with a faint smile: "Husband, don't worry, the Zhu family really can't do too much." However, as long as the Zhu family can stand up first, there is no worry that no one in Jinling City will follow suit. What's more, my father can still say a few words in Jinling City now, so it is naturally more convenient for us to do whatever we want. With him secretly in contact for us, it will definitely be effective. ”

Xiao Qianwei nodded and said, "It's so good, then it's hard for you." ”

Xiao Qianwei pursed his lips and smiled, looked at his expression and said, "I just saw that you don't look good, but what happened?" ”

Xiao Qianwei shook his head, sighed and said, "It's nothing, my cousin has returned to Chenzhou." Zhu Chuyu seemed puzzled, "Wei Gongzi has returned to Chenzhou?" ”

Xiao Qianwei nodded, "My cousin said that after capturing Yundu, our army only needs to cross the river, and then it will be able to point directly at Jinling, and he has nothing to do." He went back to Chenzhou to solve the matter of Eguo Gong. ”

"In that case, why is the husband so sullen?" Zhu Chuyu said softly. Xiao Qianwei said in a deep voice: "Father handed over all the soldiers and horses stationed in Yundu to the commander of Nangong Xu. Zhu Chuyu was speechless, now the Chenzhou army stationed in Yundu is the Chenzhou army, which was originally led by Nangong Xu, and there is nothing wrong with Wei Gongzi leaving and continuing to be taken over by Nangong Xu. But the problem is that the Yanwang Mansion has been in the open for three years, and it looks like it is about to hit Jinling City. But none of the three sons under the knee of King Yan have ever touched the slightest military power. On the contrary, many young generals were left behind. Not to mention Nangong Xulin, Changfeng, Jian Qiuyang, and other people trusted by Wei Junmo, even Chen Xu, Xue Bin, ** These people are now deputy generals who can lead 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses. It's really hard to feel comfortable.

Sighing softly, Zhu Chuyu said, "Why is the husband so angry, you might as well think about it from a different angle." Although you don't have military power in your hands, neither do you have the eldest brother and the third brother? As for the Chenzhou Army, after all, it was a soldier and horse established by Wei Gongzi himself, and it could not be touched by outsiders. ”

It's good that Zhu Chuyu didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Xiao Qianwei couldn't help but think of the secret letter he received not long ago. It wasn't that he didn't know that this might be Xiao Qianye's trick, but thinking about the content of the letter, thinking about the unreasonableness of his aunt's life experience over the years, and then thinking about the importance his father valued him and the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers he now had. The seeds of doubt unconsciously feel that they are most stretched out in the bottom of their hearts, and they are unstoppable.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Qianwei couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yu, how much do you know about your cousin?" ”

Zhu Chuyu was stunned for a moment, and secretly looked at Xiao Qianwei and thought about the meaning of his question. After all, she was thoughtful for a while, and once showed some meaning to Wei Gongzi, "Why does the husband ask that?" ”

Xiao Qianwei said in a deep voice: "Do you think... Cousin, what do you have, what ambitions? ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhu Chuyu's mind, and it suddenly became clear, "Husband is worried... Wei Gongzi, self-respecting? ”

Xiao Qianwei frowned, "Isn't the cause of today's situation the weight of the vassal king?" "Xiao Qianye wants to cut down the domain, and they, as the king of the domain, naturally have to fight hard. But Xiao Qianwei knew that when his father really came to the world in the future, he would also cut the domain. It's just that it might be a different way. Beside the couch where others can sleep soundly? How can an emperor who wants to be a man of his word tolerate a vassal king with a heavy army? It's all the same mind, Xiao Qianye's defeat is not because he cut the domain wrongly, but because he is not capable enough.

But, what about Wei Junmo? Once his father ascends the throne and holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, will Wei Gongzi, who now owns Chenzhou and other places, willingly hand over his military power?

Zhu Chuyu sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Qianwei's arm and said softly: "Husband, no matter what Wei Gongzi thinks, now Husband must not be his enemy." ”

Xiao Qianwei looked down at her, and Zhu Chuyu said: "My father's trust in Wei Gongzi is unparalleled, and my husband will only make others benefit if he is an enemy, and I hope that my husband will think twice." ”

Xiao Qianwei was silent for a long time, and had to sigh. Of course he understood this, so he had been acting as if nothing had happened since he received the secret letter. After experiencing the matter of his father entrusting the military power to Wei Junmo, Xiao Qianwei had already deeply understood Wei Junmo's position in his father's heart. But at the same time, the vigilance and jealousy of Wei Junmo in his heart also deepened.

Zhu Chuyu said with a smile: "Husband, instead of thinking about that, it is better to think about how to win the great merit of taking Jinling." At this time, Wei Gongzi is gone, which is not a bad thing for the husband. Xiao Qianwei nodded silently, just a little puzzled, "Why did my cousin leave at this time, does he really not care about the great achievement of capturing Jinling?" ”

Zhu Chuyu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, "If your husband is not at ease, you might as well think of a way to make sure that Wei Gongzi can't come back in a short time." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianwei's eyes flashed thoughtfully. Zhu Chuyu sat beside him, still with a calm face and a gentle smile.

On a beautiful mountain outside Chenzhou City, Nangong Mo sat in the pavilion on the hillside with a smile and looked at a pair of children running happily not far away and Shang Qiao who was sitting on a stone not far away and looking at them with a smile. Beside her, Shang Nian'er and Princess Changping were sitting, and Qu Lianxing and Zhishu Mingqin were waiting behind her. Not far away, Nangong Hui and Qin Zixu were standing and talking.

Princess Changping looked at her grandchildren not far away with a smile, and said with a light smile: "An An is just that, she has always been active, and it is pitiful to be locked up in the house all the time." It's hard to come out once, but it's very fun. ”

Nangong Mo was also a little apologetic, she and Wei Junmo were not thinking about their safety, and very few people took a few children out to walk around. At most, it's just a walk around the city. Uncle Shi can bring two children out without worrying about safety, but neither Uncle Shi nor Master can take care of the children. So I had to give up. After coming back for a few days and finishing the affairs of the house, Nangong Mo took advantage of today's good weather to take the family out for a walk.

Under the hillside in front of me is the rolling Li River, and when you look up at the distance, the endless fields on the opposite bank also appear extraordinarily open.

Nangong Mo smiled: "It'll be fine in a few days." ”

Princess Changping was stunned, and reacted to what Nangong Mo said that the chaotic situation in the world should end in a few days, and she couldn't help but sigh softly. Although the war in the past few years has not affected Chenzhou at all, there are many refugees who have fled from outside. A few years ago, the people of Chenzhou fled out, but in the blink of an eye, Chenzhou became a paradise, and there was chaos outside.

Qu Lianxing said with a smile: "No, I just heard that there was a big victory in Pengcheng, the capital of Yundu, and His Royal Highness King Ning led troops to surround Qingyun Mountain, and it must not be long before he will win a big victory." In this way, the arrival of soldiers in Jinling is just around the corner. ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "If it's a qiē shun lì, it's naturally good." ”

Princess Changping looked at Nangong Mo, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Flawless, if the third brother captures Jinling one day, what are your plans and Jun'er?" ”

Nangong Mo was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this question, and she didn't expect Princess Changping to ask this question.

Nangong Mo said: "What does Mother think?" He glanced at Qu Lianxing and glanced at her. Qu Lianxing understood, and pulled Zhishu and Mingqin to tease the child.

Princess Changping sighed and said, "I have been used to living in Chenzhou in the past few years, and I am a little scared when I think of going back to Jinling." In the future, our family will stay in Chenzhou and live a safe and stable life. ”

Nangong Mo was silent, she was very willing to agree to Princess Changping. But she also knew that she couldn't do it. If one day King Yan really reigns in the world, Wei Junmo will first have to spend a leisurely life in Chenzhou, but I am afraid that it will be impossible. On the other hand, what to do with the Chenzhou army is also a big problem. With the ambition of King Yan, it is a matter of time before the feudal domain is cut. Since Xiao Qianye had paid such a big price to carry out half of the matter, there was no reason why King Yan would not proceed. The establishment of the Chenzhou Army was forced by the situation and was the best choice at that time. But now that the Chenzhou Army has become a climate, whether it wants to be independent from the Youzhou Army or merge with the Youzhou Army, it is a big problem. Nangong Mo didn't know what consideration King Yan had based on to agree to Wei Junmo's plan. But Wei Junmo's thoughts are a little more clear to her. It's just that... Whether King Yan will agree or not is a matter of two words.

As for Princess Changping's family's wish for a safe and stable life, I am afraid that it is destined to be unrealizable. At least, it won't be possible anytime soon.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Changping also understood that her thoughts were too simple. I could only sigh helplessly, "That's it, no matter what, our family is always together." ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, with me and Jun Mo, there will be nothing to do in the future." Mother just watched the death and An An grow up with peace of mind. ”

Princess Changping smiled and nodded, looking sideways at the two children squatting on the ground playing in the distance, but there was a faint melancholy in her eyes.

A sharp voice burst through the air through the forest. Nangong Mo's heart jumped, and he pushed Princess Changping away. A feathered arrow flew past her and landed into the Li River below the mountain.

"County Lord be careful!" Qu Lianxing's former soft voice suddenly became sharp, and she flew in front of Nangong Mo, who was protecting Princess Changping.

"Pity the star!" Nangong Mo swept Qu Lianxing away with a palm swing, but the feather arrow that broke through the air still grazed her arrow, and suddenly her lilac clothes were dyed a dark red.

In the shadows, a group of black-clothed guards appeared quickly. Liu Han picked up Xiao Xiao, and at the same time, Xing Wei also picked up An An and protected the two children in his arms. Qin Zixu and Nangong Hui, who were not far away, saw this drastic change and hurriedly rushed over. Nangong Mo squinted slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Take the mother and the two children first." Second brother, take Nian'er back to the city first. ”

Nangong Hui protected Shang Nian'er with one hand, and said, "What did you say?" Let's leave you and go first? ”

Nangong Mo was unceremoniously, "You guys are also dragging me back if you stay." ”

"County Lord." Xing Wei and Liu Han were holding their two children, and they were followed by Shang Qiao, who had already pulled out his dagger and looked cold.

Xing Wei said in a deep voice: "There are many people in the forest, and they are all masters. "If it weren't for the masters, they wouldn't have found out until now.

Nangong Moqiao stared at the mountains and forests in front of him with a cold face, and the guards in front of him had already exchanged hands with the black-clothed man who rushed out first. You don't have to look at Nangong Mo to guess who these people are.

"Xingwei, Liu Han, you take your mother and two children back to the city first." Nangong Mo said lightly.

Qu Lianxing walked over holding her injured shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "County Lord, these people must be coming for you, you go with the princess and the little princess first." ”

Nangong Mo said lightly: "Do you know why they don't release arrows now?" ”

Qu Lianxing was speechless, and Nangong Mo said: "Because they want to catch it alive." As long as I move, the next moment I am afraid that everyone will be shot into a sieve by arrows. ”

Qin Zixujun's face was unusually gloomy, "They can't have so many archers. "Archers and martial arts masters are two different things, not all martial arts masters can become archers, and ordinary archers are not strong enough to sneak into this place.

A sneer curled into Nangong Mo's lips, "Naturally, they didn't sneak up just now. 'M afraid... Did you come one step ahead of us, and ambush you were here? ”

Qin Zixu's face was even more difficult to look at, although this mountain is not big, it is not small, if you want to secretly hide some people in the mountain, it is indeed not difficult. However, the matter of going out to play today was only decided last night, that is... There is a fine work of the water pavilion in the Chenzhou Mansion.

It is not a strange thing to have fine works, not only the Zixiao Hall of Chenzhou Mansion has the fine work of the Water Pavilion, but the Water Pavilion also has the fine work of the Zixiao Palace. But not every one of these people has access to each other's secrets. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out by the Water Pavilion a long time ago, or they would have been destroyed by the Water Pavilion a long time ago.

But this time, the other party should at least have a considerable status or trust in Chenzhou Mansion.

In a moment, Qin Zixu went through all the possible people in his mind. It's just that before he could come up with anything suspicious, he heard a cold laugh from the mountain forest, "The Lord of Star City is really smart, but it's a pity that it's too late to know now." ”

Nangong Mo was not angry, but looked at Lin Zhong lightly and said, "Since you are here, come out, hiding your head and showing your tail is the work of the rats." ”

The man in the woods snorted coldly and walked out. He was followed by a large group of archers armed with bows and arrows, as well as the Water Pavilion killers dressed in black.

The person who spoke was dressed in a gray robe, and his entire face was obscured, leaving only a pair of earthly eyes.

"Nangong Mo, you didn't expect it to be planted at your doorstep in the end, right?" The man in gray sneered.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly, "I really didn't expect it... Is Gong Yuchen jumping off the wall now? The black-clothed killers behind the gray-clothed man glared at Nangong Mo one after another, but the gray-clothed man disagreed, "It doesn't seem to be Gong Yuchen who is unlucky now." With you in hand, are you afraid that Wei Junmo will not be able to give in? ”

"Who are you?" Next to him, Nangong Hui suddenly asked in a deep voice. A pair of tiger eyes stared fixedly at the gray-clothed man in front of him.

The man in gray was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Guess who I am?" Nangong Mo, do you know who I am? ”

Nangong Mo didn't seem to even bother to think, and said indifferently: "You? Isn't it the former Duke of Chu, Nangong Huai? Father, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it seems that you are still not well. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Hui was shocked in his heart, and suddenly looked up at the gray-clothed man. The gray-clothed man couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared, raised his hand and pulled down the cloth towel on his head, "What a Nangong Mo, worthy of being my Nangong Huai's daughter." I saw a thin, cold and old face under the cloth towel. Coupled with those cold eyes, it makes people feel that they feel furious when they look at him more.

But even though the change was so huge, Nangong Hui still recognized the person in front of him at a glance. Who is not Nangong Huai?

T
