A servant came in with a lunch box and brought the dishes out of the lunch box and placed them on the table. The eyes are full of color and fragrance, which makes people salivate.

Yang Muyun's stomach began to rumble again, but after the other party finished setting the meal, he turned around and went out, without looking at himself, and he had no intention of putting himself down.

"Hey, you ......" Yang Muyun couldn't scream, and the door closed with a "clang".

Looking at the table full of meals and smelling the fragrance of the food, Yang Muyun's stomach became even hungrier.

"Isn't this to hook the worms in people's stomachs?" Yang Muyun said secretly: "Is it possible that I want to die of hunger watching these meals?" He simply closed his eyes and didn't look at it. However, the aroma kept drilling into his nostrils, tickling his internal organs and making him uncomfortable.

Just as he was feeling extremely tormented, the door creaked open again. When I opened my eyes, I saw a slender figure flash in, it was the masked man.

She quietly walked in front of Yang Muyun, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes.

"You...... What are you looking at? Yang Muyun couldn't help but ask.

"I'm looking if you're hungry?" The masked man smiled.

"What if I'm hungry, and what if I'm not hungry?" Yang Muyun stared at her and couldn't help pursing his lips.

"If you are hungry, beg me. If you're not hungry, forget it. The masked man said leisurely.

"Okay, I beg you, please put me down......" Yang Muyun looked bitter.

The masked man smiled "poof", but he didn't move, not in the slightest intention of untying him.

"That's what you begged me for." The masked man said lightly.

"Yes, I beg you......" Yang Muyun looked at her eyes, and her heart jumped, she didn't want to give me any problems, right?

Sure enough, the masked man spoke, "If you promise to be my slave, I will let you go." ”

Yang Muyun frowned and fell silent.

The masked man looked at him quietly, and was not in a hurry to speak.

"You're not reconciled, aren't you?" It was the masked man who spoke first.

"If I don't promise you, you're going to lock me up forever, right?" Yang Muyun's eyes stared at her and asked, he suddenly felt that he was not so hungry now.

The masked man smiled and clapped his hands. The door opened again, and a petite figure was pushed in.

"Ruan Ling?" Yang Muyun's eyes widened in surprise.

"Young Master Yang—" Ruan Ling stepped forward and hugged Yang Muyun.

"What are you doing with her?" Yang Muyun glared at the masked man.

"You're wrong, I invited her, not me," said the masked man, "and as soon as I said you were here, this little girl came with me desperately." ”

"What do you want?" Yang Muyun roared.

"What are you excited about?" The masked man glanced at him, "I didn't treat her well?" Turning to Ruan Ling, the man who came in: "Take her down, so that you can watch her, if there is the slightest neglect or disrespect, be careful that I peel your skin." ”

The two of them answered, and then stepped forward and dragged Ruan Ling.

"What are you going to do?" Ruan Ling said in horror: "I don't want to go with you, I want to accompany Yang Gongzi......" No matter how she begged or screamed, she was still dragged out.

"You, you ......" Yang Muyun was extremely angry, and what he wanted to say was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say it for a while.

"Don't worry, I told them that they should take good care of this Ruan girl," the masked man smiled, "You don't have to worry about her being bullied." ”

"Is that what you want to do with it?" Yang Muyun looked at her with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"The means are not important, the key is the people," the masked man looked at him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are still of some use, I wouldn't be too lazy to use these means!" ”

Yang Muyun stared at her for a while, and suddenly laughed, "It's my honor to be favored by you like this?" ”

After he had laughed enough and calmed down, the masked man continued: "I will let Fan Jiang release Ruan Axing and Ruan An and others, and let the Fan family promise not to find trouble for the people of Yunjiao Village...... Seeing that Yang Muyun listened carefully, he continued: "Not only that, but Yunjiao Village will be given in the next five years."

Taxes and conscription will also be exempted from the state, what do you think? ”

Yang Muyun was silent, what the masked man said was definitely not a lie, with Zheng Ke's identity and status, these things were easy for him. Although the Fan family is a powerful person in Huazhou, he will not be convicted of being a powerful figure in the dynasty because of a trivial matter, as for Pan Zhizhou, he knows what to do.

"Why do you want me to be your slave?" Yang Muyun asked after a while.

"Because you're so capable!" The masked man smiled: "Since I was a child, you were the first person to force me with a knife. With a person as capable as you as a slave by my side, do you still need me to do anything? ”

"You're not afraid...... Aren't you afraid that I'll give you a knife if I'm cold? Yang Muyun sneered.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid," her eyes twinkled under the mask, "but you won't." ”

"Are you so sure?" Yang Muyun stared at her.

"Of course," the masked man's eyes didn't blink, "I bet you're not that kind of person." ”

"And what if you lose the bet?" Yang Muyun said word for word.

"It's a big deal that you take the knife and force me again," the masked man met his gaze, "how about it?" Will you say yes? ”

Yang Muyun avoided her gaze and hesitated: "I'm not from Annan, and I can't stay in Annan all the time." ”

The masked man smiled lightly, "Of course, my Da Yue is much smaller than the Great Ming Dynasty, you are the official of the Ming Dynasty, if you stay here, it is really too difficult to ...... for you" The voice changed, "Just one year, after a year, I will give you back my freedom, how about it?" ”

"Really?" Yang Muyun's eyes lit up.

Zhu Qiyu is like a different person, no longer chasing dogs and horses, and worrying about national affairs wholeheartedly. In the Ming Dynasty, vassal kings were strictly forbidden to participate in political affairs, but Zhu Qizhen was sick and needed someone to share his worries. King Sain Polo is a difficult master to wait, and he has always asked to meet the Ming Emperor in person to ask for the seal, and he ignores everyone else, only Zhu Qiyu, the two of them hate to see each other late. Perhaps because they all have the prince in his body, with Zhu Qiyu coming forward, Sain Polo will feel that he is not being slighted, and he will no longer be clamoring to ask to meet the Ming Emperor.

The haze of the epidemic in Beijing has completely dissipated, and there is no longer a ban on the travel of the envoys of the same embassy, so Zhu Qiyu accompanied Sain Polo out for a banquet every day. At the wine table, the two finalized the major events between the two countries one by one: the Ming recognized the independent status of the Urat in the Mobei grassland and allowed it to pay tribute alone. In addition, the leader of the Zarat was also the king of Jingshun first, Sain Polo was named the king of loyalty, and two people from the Zarat Department were crowned kings at once, and the meaning of the provocation of the Ming court was very obvious. It may be a very glorious thing to be crowned king by the Ming court at that time, Sain Polo was very happy, and the Ming Emperor also rewarded a large number of silk and porcelain and other items, and sent troops to escort him back to the grassland.

After Zhu Qiyu received the emperor's edict ordering him to go to the grassland to issue an edict, he was the first to tell Liu Yunxi the news.

"You're leaving the day after tomorrow, aren't you?" In the quiet courtyard, Liu Yunxi looked up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky and said.

"Well," Zhu Qiyu nodded, stepped forward to hold her hand, "On the day when I am not there, you have to be careful, there are many spies in the capital, and the emperor has always been haunted by the assassination of that day." ”

"I know," Liu Yunxi smiled faintly, turned his face to look at him, "The desert is not as comfortable as the capital, you have to take good care of yourself along the way." ”

"For you, I will definitely take good care of myself." Zhu Qiyu said: "Please rest assured! ”

Liu Yunxi's pair of eyebrows frowned slightly, "Don't worry? There are a lot of ministers in the capital, why did the emperor send you to Mobei to announce the decree for him? ”

"Because I have the highest knighthood!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "You must know that I am the only one who has a prince in the entire capital, so the emperor thinks it is most appropriate for me to go." Besides, I have a good relationship with Sain Polo, the king of loyalty, so what's wrong with escorting him back to proclaim the decree for his brother? ”

"Lord Wang," Liu Yunxi's eyes flickered, "The exchanges between the two countries are about interests, where is there any friendship between individuals?" The relationship between Daming and Mobei is not yet clear, and the emperor pushed you out in such a hurry, how can you remember a trace of brotherhood? ”

"You're thinking too much, aren't you?" Zhu Qiyu said unhappily: "I have been accompanying Sain Polo these days, all of them

I also negotiated the terms with him, since everything has been negotiated, is there anything wrong with me coming forward to return to Mobei with him to announce the decree? ”

"Lord Wang, you think things too simply," Liu Yunxi said: "If it is only the two sides of Da Ming and Urat, then naturally everyone will be happy, but have you ever thought that in addition to Urat, there is also a Mongolian Khan court in Mobei, and the Mongolian Great Khan will be allowed to come and go without paying attention to the Ming eyebrows?" ”

"You say that you will interfere with it?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

"Won't it?" Liu Yunxi looked at him and said: "The Ming Dynasty is now elevating the Khant to the same position as the Mongolian Khanate, so provoking his relationship with the Mongol Khanate, do you think that Tokhtar will sit idly by?" ”

"What will he be able to do?" Zhu Qiyu said: "Could it be that he will lead the troops to kill the Urat and prevent me from issuing an edict?" ”

"It's not enough," Liu Yunxi said leisurely: "People can't come to Ming, it's not impossible to do something secretly, the distance from Daming to Hute is not close, the long road is long, can you guarantee that this will be safe every day?" ”

"But Sain Polo said that his army is outside the Great Wall," Zhu Qiyu only felt a chill down his spine, and said to himself: "As soon as you get out of the pass, you can join his army......"

"Lord Wang, you don't have to be nervous," Liu Yun said regretfully, "I'm just thinking about the worst plan for you." ”

"What's the worst-case scenario?" Zhu Qiyu was full of confidence, but when he heard Liu Yunxi say this, he couldn't help but feel empty.

"The prince is also a person who has read a lot of history books, don't you know?" Liu Yun sighed: "Throughout the ages, there have been many cases of envoys to foreign countries being killed and detained, and your imperial brother will not understand this truth, and he will actually send you, it can be seen that he ...... you as a younger brother" was silent and shook his head.

"No," Zhu Qiyu's face changed slightly, "Sain Polo promised me that the round trip along the way will definitely keep me safe, he ...... He won't break his word. ”

"But what about first?" Liu Yun said regretfully: "You haven't seen him, how do you know that he will obediently go to receive your edict, in case he refuses to turn his back on the edict, where will he leave you, prince?" ”

Liu Yunxi's words were like knives, slashing at Zhu Qiyu's heart, and a thin cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead. For this trip to Mobei, he didn't think too much, he always felt that it was just a trip and a decree, and it wouldn't take long to return to the capital, but he really didn't expect the danger. Liu Yunxi's words are by no means alarmist, the relationship between the northern tribes of the desert is delicate, yesterday the wine and talk, today the knife is not common for the various parts of the grassland, stepping into the grassland, no one can guarantee that they can see the sun tomorrow.

"If something really happens, it's my life," Zhu Qiyu sighed lightly, "Even if I herd sheep in Beihai for a lifetime like Su Wu, I will admit it." ”

"Lord Wang," Liu Yunxi shook his hand tightly, "If you really go to Beihai to shepherd sheep, I will accompany you!" ”

"You?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her in amazement.

"I'll go with you," Liu Yunxi's eyes showed a hint of firmness, "I know martial arts, and I can protect the prince along the way." ”

"How does this work?" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand again and again, "As you said, this is dangerous, how can I let you go into danger with you?" ”

"For my sake, you can get out of the way and not be this prince," Liu Yunxi's eyes flashed with a bright light, "What's wrong with me if I go with you to take risks?" He smiled lightly, "Maybe there is really no risk along the way, and you can enjoy the desert scenery!" ”

Looking at Yang Muyun's gobbling up food, the masked man was a little surprised.

"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you of ......," the masked man said with a hint of banter.

"I've been hungry for a day, and you've hung my appetite for a long time," Yang Muyun didn't raise his head, ate a big mouthful of rice noodles, and stuffed a duck leg, and said vaguely: "Especially after countless fights with so many of you, I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back." ”

The masked man looked at him with a smile on her face, and she suddenly felt that this person was very cute, "Gui Geng? She asked.

"Hmm...... In two months I will be sixteen. Yang Muyun hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh?" The masked man's eyes rolled, "It's a coincidence, I'll be sixteen in two months, it seems that you and I are the same age." ”

"Really?" Yang Muyun raised his head.
