On December 25, the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Su Huan escaped from Jiangmei's encirclement and reported the siege of Yuzhou to Su Jin.

"Old man, Xiao Moheng is dead..."Su Huan ran into Su Jin's study with joy and sorrow.

Su Jin, who was lying on the soft couch wrapped in a quilt, was shocked when he heard this, and the book in his hand suddenly slipped to the ground, and he looked at him blankly for a long time.

Suddenly, he lifted the quilt and hurriedly got out of bed, so frightened that Su Yi on the side hurriedly supported him, Su Jin squatted in front of Su Huan, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it true?" There was unbelievable joy in his voice.

Su Huan nodded heavily, "I saw it with my own eyes... That Jiang Mei cried so much that she vomited blood, and all the guards also cried to death..."

Su Jin's slightly trembling hand stroked Su Huan's bloodstained face, and said hoarsely: "That... What about that..."

Su Huan raised his head, his dry eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and tears came out of his eyes, "He... He's dead... Jiang Mei set up an ambush on the periphery, killing our 10,000 troops to the ground, the eldest lord asked me to come back and report to the old man....only me... survived...."Su Huan sobbed, the corpses all over the mountains and fields appeared in his mind, and a terrible scream seemed to sound in his ears...

Su Jin sat down dejectedly, his whole body seemed to collapse, and he collapsed and was weak...

Even more prostration and powerlessness than Su Jin was Jiang Mei lying in the Liyang County Mansion, the warm winter sun shone through the window on the head of her bed, she stretched out her hand, as if to hold the flowing light, but when she opened her hand, she found it empty. She looked silently at her slightly open right hand, a few rays of sunlight shining through her fingers on her cheeks, and tears flowed silently again......

"Brother Luo, wait for me, wait for me to complete my mission, wait for me to avenge you, I will come to Cangbi Mountain to accompany you, and never leave..."

After Luoxuan's death yesterday, Jiang Mei instructed Ye Jian and Xuan Ming to take his coffin back to Yiyun Pavilion for burial, and then let someone quietly send another coffin into Liyang. Create the illusion of secrecy.

Shang Zhi assisted Deng Rui in taking advantage of the situation to recover Yuzhou. Tao Yiran returned to Jingkou, naturally, Deng Rui blocked the news of Xiao Moheng's death on the one hand, and comforted a group of soldiers who were immersed in the grief of the dead coach on the other. threatened to kill Su Jin, kill Jiankang, and avenge His Highness. and then assist the little master to inherit the great cause of His Royal Highness.

Whether it is Deng Rui or Tao Yiran or Shang Zhi, they are Xiao Moheng's most trusted generals. Their soldiers are also Xiao Moheng's dead soldiers, even if they know the news of the boss's death, they still have the desire to avenge the boss. Determined to be loyal to the Lingwang Palace.

After a short period of grief, the treacherous Su Jin also immediately sent someone to King Ling's Mansion to try to kill the little boy, but where would Dongfang Zhan let such a thing happen.

As early as when he got the news of Xiao Moheng's arrival in Beijing, he quietly asked people to send the little master to Jingkou, and if Wendu was in Jingkou, it would be foolproof, and the little boy in the house was just a stand-in.

After Xiao Moheng arrived in Beijing, he did not return to King Ling's Mansion, and he always secretly arranged the affairs of the capital in the main dock of Yiyun Pavilion. And the only people in the entire capital who knew that he had returned to Beijing were Dongfang Zhan and Yun Ke.

After Xiao Moheng learned that Luojun had died, he burst into tears and choked up without eating for a day, but Yun Ke was like a walking corpse, just wanting to complete his master's last life, and then go with him, while Dongfang Zhan vomited blood and fainted, looking like a withered tree. When the secret agents of the Su Mansion reported Dongfang Zhan's situation to Su Jin, the Su family finally realized that Xiao Moheng was really gone.

However, two days later, it was the wedding of Xiao Mocheng and Princess Tang Shu, in order to be able to control the courtiers and even Emperor Xiao on that day, Su Jin blocked the news that Xiao Moheng was dead, and tacitly agreed that Dongfang Zhan also blocked the news.

Therefore, only Su Jin, Su Weixin, Pei Yun, Xiao Mocheng, Mu Xiaohe, and Dongfang Zhan knew the news of Xiao Moheng's death in the entire capital.

When the people of the capital were talking about the marriage between Huan and Shu, they didn't know that there was a turbulent undercurrent behind the jubilant joy.

The day before Xiao Mocheng's wedding, Xiao Mocheng came to Mu Mansion and sat with Mu Xiaohe around the stove in the study and drank hot wine.

"I wonder how she's doing?" Xiao Mocheng lowered his head slightly, and sighed, no matter which position she stood on, she was always his concern, when he heard that Jiang Mei was crying and vomiting blood, he was heartbroken, knowing that she was sad for another man, but he still couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Compared with Xiao Mocheng's worry about Jiang Mei, Mu Xiaohe is even more sad about Xiao Moheng's death, Jiang Mei's suffering he understands, as soon as Xiao Moheng dies, all her efforts are in vain, which can be described as heartbreaking and desperate.

At this time, Mu Xiaohe even had a sense of contempt for Su Jin and Pei Yun, and only they could make such a conspiracy to kill. He had to admit that at this time, his heart was on the side of Xiao Moheng and Jiang Mei, and he was happy that Xiao Mocheng was on the throne, but after the Northern Expedition, he deeply realized that Xiao Moheng was the hero of the world, only he was worthy of sitting and enjoying the world, and only he could sit steadily.

It's just that now, even if Xiao Mocheng can successfully ascend the throne, but all the military towns except the capital and Sanwu are under Xiao Moheng's hands, will the generals under him bow down to Chen Chen? There is also a small master in his palace, I'm afraid that this world is still unstable!

It's just that when he thinks of Xiao Moheng's widow, Mu Xiao and Sudden, Su Jin will definitely not let go of that child....

Xiao Mocheng saw that Mu Xiaohe's face was suddenly pale, his lips twitched and he couldn't speak, and said worriedly: "Xiaohe, what's wrong with you...."

Mu Xiaohe came to his senses and muttered, "No... It's nothing...", his eyes moved to other places, he knew that he was powerless, and he couldn't stop it, now that child was Xiao Mocheng's biggest threat, knowing that he couldn't do it and had to let it go, Mu Xiao and his painful expression could no longer hide his sadness and worry.

He drank a few glasses of stuffy wine quickly, but he didn't even look at Xiao Mocheng.

"Xiaohe, do you blame me?" How could the smart Xiao Mocheng not notice Mu Xiaohe's abnormality, he smiled bitterly and said: "You obviously have the opportunity to take refuge in Seventh Brother, but you always choose to stand on my side, I am really grateful to you....But it has come to this." I also need you to appease the soldiers of the Seventh Brother, you have been born and died with them, and only you can convince them..."

In fact, even Su Jin and Pei Yun wanted Mu Xiaohe to be lobbyists as soon as they learned of Xiao Moheng's death. Not to mention his own military talent, just looking at his friendship with Gao Chi, Mu Bai and others, I'm afraid those generals will only obey him!

Mu Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Mocheng in a daze. Think about it. I'm afraid that his mission is not small, and the task is not light.

Mu Xiaohe pondered for a while and said, "I understand what you mean, I have no problem." Just if Meier is willing... That's foolproof. General Mu Bai of Chang'an is her person. The generals under the Seventh Highness are all obedient to her! ”

Xiao Mocheng felt a little relieved when he saw that he had answered him, and he nodded and said, "After the wedding." I'll go to her, I'll find a way to convince her! Xiao Mocheng's face turned pale, and every time he remembered that the person he was going to marry was not her, his heart ached.

Mu Xiaohe's thoughts have come to this point, all the sadness is in vain, not to mention that all this is Su Jin and Pei Yun's strategy, sometimes, even Xiao Mocheng may not be able to resist, even if Xiao Mocheng ascends the throne, he will still be constrained by the Su family and the Pei family, I think this is also the reason why Xiao Moheng suppressed the power of the Shi clan. Mu Xiaohe thought about it like this, after all, he still felt sorry for Xiao Mocheng.

"How's the wedding going?" Mu Xiaohe asked with concern,

Xiao Mocheng raised his mouth helplessly, looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, and lost his mind slightly, "It's all my father and uncle who are taking care of it, I don't worry about it!" ”

Actually, I don't want to worry about it! Mu Xiaohe sighed in his heart, he poured Xiao Mocheng a cup of hot wine, handed it to him and said: "Spirits pour your heart, look at the point, what belongs to you belongs to you after all, and there is no way to force it if it doesn't belong to you..."

To say that the world understands Xiao Mocheng's mind the most, only Mu Xiaohe. Xiao Mocheng only has a kind of comfort when he is with him. Xiao Mocheng shook his head, took the wine glass with a wry smile, and drank it up.

"Xiao He, the person I trust the most now is you, even my grandfather, I don't seem to really know him...."Xiao Mocheng said, his eyes gradually dimmed, he never knew that his grandfather's methods were so ruthless, even Shang didn't discuss with him.

Although his grandfather still spoiled him like a treasure, the Su family was a relative after all, and he had to guard against it. Although he Xiao Mocheng is not necessarily a hegemon, he is also a master, and he does not allow others to get involved in his country.

Mu Xiaohe understood the voice of his words, so he comforted: "Don't worry, there is still me!" ”

Xiao Mocheng finally smiled when he heard this, and the two drank a few more glasses together. When Xiao Mocheng was about to return home, he suddenly heard a sound of laughter.

As soon as the two heard it, they knew that it was Hua Ying's voice, so they heard it and left together.

At this time, Hua Ying was taking Yinxin's daughter to play in the snow in the yard, naturally, it was impossible for Yinxin's little baby to play in the field for a few months, so Yinxin held her and stood under the eaves, while Hua Ying took Yinyue and the girls in the house to have a snowball fight in the yard, and teased the little baby to laugh.

Everyone had a lot of fun and laughed innocently.

When Mu Xiaohe and Xiao Mocheng came to the corridor, they saw such a scene, but Mu Xiaohe suddenly found that next to a pillar next to the initiation, there was a corner of white shirts flying, and it seemed that there was another person there.

Since Hua Ying married into the Hou Mansion, the situation of the initiation has been much better, Hua Ying is the respect of the county lord, and she has the identity of Yun Yueyao, everyone in the mansion is respectful to her, and some elders of the Hou Mansion even treat this belated master as a treasure, even Lan Ying has to let her have a few points, and in addition, Mu Xiaohe is very good to her, so the Hou Mansion is simply Hua Ying's world.

Hua Ying is as close to Yinxin as a sister, and she treats the little girl as her own, so the people in the house dare not despise Yinxin and the young lady at all.

It's just that others don't know, but the people in Mu Mansion understand that since Mu Xiaohe returned to Beijing, he teased his daughter when he had nothing to do, and he didn't go to the rooms, and he was alone almost every night. It's just that he is still kind to all the ladies in the face.

After Hua Ying married into the Hou Mansion, she also lived a comfortable life for a year, and in addition, Mu Xiaohe was obedient to her, even if she wanted to play some nonsensical tricks, he would accompany her, and it seemed that the life in the princess's mansion in the past had returned, so she cherished it very much. Therefore, her laughter at this time is particularly crisp and cheerful.

Hua Ying was having a snowball fight with the girls, and she ate a lot of snowballs at this time, so she said to the initiation on the porch: "Intimition, give her the child, you come and help me!" Hua Ying shouted while dodging left and right.

Without waiting for initiation to answer, the man next to the pillar smiled and said, "If you don't ask for a military advisor here, it's no wonder you can't win!" ”

As soon as Jiang Mei's voice came out, Xiao Mocheng's face in the corridor stiffened, his chest stagnated, and he was actually stuffy in his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable, it had been almost a year, and he didn't expect to see her here today....

In contrast, Mu Xiaohe was just stunned, but then relieved, presumably she also came back, and the free and easy voice just now made Mu Xiaohe slightly relieved.

Hua Ying didn't give her face, and said indignantly: "You have a good brain, let you go into battle, I see that a snowball can knock you away!" You're not much better than our little darling! The little baby in Hua Ying's mouth naturally refers to the child who is initiated.

As soon as Hua Ying finished speaking, everyone laughed and was overjoyed. Jiang Mei clasped her hands to her chest, leaned on the pillar, and shook her head helplessly, but there was a look of "I don't care about ignorant women and children" on her face.

However, Initiation still protected his master after all, so he smiled and said: "The county lord always jokes about my young lady, when the prince comes, let the prince clean you up!" ”

Hua Ying suddenly feigned anger, "Hey, don't forget, when you were in the Hou Mansion, who protected you, but your young lady was so happy to fight that she had already thrown you out of the clouds!" ”

At this time, Ruoyun, who was dissatisfied with Hua Ying's bullying of her master, suddenly let Hua Ying eat a snowball!

"Haha! I've hit you again! ”

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

Except for Hua Ying, everyone burst into laughter again. Hua Ying's face turned red with anger, and she deliberately ran after Ruoyun, "Little hoof, let you beat me, catch up with Ming'er, when you are not there, I will also run to Xiaoyue Tower and bully your master..."

For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with two chasing and entangled figures.

Jiang Mei watched them laugh so happily and have so much fun, and finally had a trace of comfort in her sad heart.

"Okay, you've had enough trouble, you should rest!" Mu Xiaohe finally couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, and said warmly.

At this time, everyone discovered Mu Xiaohe and Xiao Mocheng beside him.

"Greetings to Your Highness, greetings to the Prince!" The girls hurriedly saluted, and the clever mother-in-law hurriedly took the child from the initiation and took the child to the inner room.

Jiang Mei, who had been facing away from the two of them, was shocked when she heard the word "Your Highness", she only wanted to see the child of initiation today, even Mu Xiao and she didn't want to see it, but she didn't expect that even Xiao Mocheng was in this mansion.

Now that it's a foregone conclusion, let's be generous!

Jiang Mei hurriedly turned around, pretending to be surprised: "Ouch, it turns out that His Highness is also here, I haven't seen him for a year, and His Highness's demeanor is still the same!" Jiang Mei made a gesture with emotion, as if she was seeing an old friend, leisurely and indifferent.

Xiao Mocheng looked at the delicate and pale face steadily, and saw that she felt as if nothing had happened, and there was a cramp in her chest, and she was completely speechless. (To be continued.) )
