054: Seems like he's an outsider
"Come, Major General Mu, please take a seat."
Nangong Li dominated the main battlefield, holding Mu Xue with an unnatural look in one hand, and stretched out his hand to signal Mu Haifeng to take a seat.
After the three of them sat down, Nangong Li and Mu Haifeng gossiped, but Mu Xue only bowed his head and drank tea and did not dare to interject.
"Aifei, you said yes, right?"
Mu Xue was suddenly mentioned, she raised her head in a trance, looked at Nangong Li's deliberately gentle gaze, and was immediately stunned.
She really doesn't know which play Nangong Li sings.
She was in a mess in her mind, and when she heard this, she looked at Mu Haifeng with some unspeakable words, and said with great guilt: "Brother Haifeng, it is indeed like what the prince said, I accidentally lost your jewel last night." ”
When Mu Xue said the back, her voice was so small that she was almost inaudible.
She felt too guilty in her heart, and felt that she had no face to face Mu Haifeng.
After he gave the treasure in his heart to himself, he had no ability to protect it, and now it was completely gone.
She felt sorry for Mu Haifeng.
She must look for this matter in private, she doesn't believe that this thing can grow wings and fly.
When he saw Mu Xue like this, he knew that Mu Xue felt guilty, and immediately comforted her softly: "It's okay, Brother Haifeng doesn't blame you." ”
Mu Xue raised her head, her eyes were filled with endless guilt and apology, and she seemed to have thousands of words to pour, but because there was a god sitting next to her, she didn't say a thousand words.
And the tacit understanding between them doesn't need too many words to say it explicitly.
It feels like a look at each other to understand what each other means.
Sure enough, Mu Haifeng just glanced at her, and soon smiled calmly.
Mu Xue is the same, smiling sincerely and sweetly.
In ancient times, there was a smile that captivated the city, and then laughed at the country.
It's Mu Xue.
After marrying the palace for so many days, Nangong Li has never seen Mu Xue smile from the bottom of her heart.
It was very sweet, soft and soft like a peach blossom, and a smile like a peony was shy, and it actually crashed directly into his heart.
Like a feather soft, it unconsciously tugged at his heartstrings.
But when he thought that her smile was not because of himself, he suddenly had an indescribable sense of depression, and this tacit understanding between the two was as if he was an outsider.
But this is obviously his palace, and this woman is his rightful princess.
Judging from the identity and status, this Mu Haifeng is the interpenetrator.
But in terms of feelings, he is indeed an outsider.
But I don't know when Nangong Li's gaze has already fallen on her unconsciously.
They will inadvertently pay attention to her words and actions, and will feel angry because she disobeys some of her words and actions.
Just like now, he was already sulking in his heart.
And the most annoying thing about this Mu Xue is not that she is not afraid of death and dares to make herself angry.
But after she made him angry, when he saw her innocent eyes, he couldn't help but punish him.
At this moment, Nangong Li's cold eyes contained some reproach, and it fell lightly on Mu Xue's body.
When a certain woman received this unkind gaze, she quickly restrained her thoughts.
After glancing at Mu Haifeng, he got up and said goodbye to Nangong Li: "Lord Wang, you and Brother Haifeng have a slow chat, and the concubine will go to the small kitchen to see how the lunch is doing." ”
"Well, go ahead."
After Mu Xue left, Nangong Li took his gaze back.
"Major General Mu is young and promising, I heard that this time there was a rebellion in Zhuoer Mountain, you have made the first contribution, and the emperor will reward you."
When Mu Haifeng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "Whatever the prince said, this is all the credit of all the soldiers, and I am just taking on a false name." ”
"Why should Major General Mu be modest, this king heard that you alone led a team of elite troops to assault the enemy's rear, using the steep mountain to lure the enemy out of the mountain, and then winning more with less, cutting the enemy's back road, General Mu led the troops to encircle and suppress, and captured the enemy's generals alive, which is not a small credit,"
In this remark, he described the situation of the battle at that time in detail, as if he had been on the battlefield and had seen the war.
And Nangong Li said it simply, but the sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield were not so lightly stated.
And in that battle, he actually injured his arm, and even now there is a hideous and terrifying wound on his arm.
"By the way, the Xuanming Sword that the princess asked the princess to bring to Major General Mu the day before yesterday, do you still think Major General Mu is good?"
In fact, the matter of the Xuanming Sword, Mu Xue brought it to Mu Haifeng with the front foot, and Mu Zhennan knew about it with the back foot.
At that time, Mu Zhennan talked to Mu Haifeng about the origin of this Xuanming Sword, and his words were all sighs for the prince.
This also made Mu Haifeng know more about this prince, and he came here today for this matter.
I saw him wave his hand and let the entourage come forward, and the entourage was holding the Xuanming Sword in his hand.
Nangong Li's gaze fell on the sword box lightly, and he asked in a casual tone, "What?" Major General Mu has won the emperor's appreciation, and he can't look down on this king's sword? ”
Hearing this, Mu Haifeng immediately stood up and said as if admitting his mistake: "The prince has misunderstood." ”
"And what do you mean by bringing the sword back?"
Bringing the sword back to himself, he must be unwilling to serve himself.
I don't know why, there was a shallow smile on the corner of Nangong Li's mouth, laughing at Muxue, the woman was too full of words, she said that her brother Haifeng listened to her everything, and it doesn't seem like this now.
I don't know why, he was a little dissatisfied because the sword was returned.
But after he figured this out, he felt a little relaxed inexplicably.
"It was my father-in-law who said that since I have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion against Zhuoer Mountain, I will naturally have the emperor's reward, but now that the emperor's reward has not yet been decided, your gift will arrive first. The stepfather said it was not in order. ”
This Mu Zhennan has always been loyal to the emperor alone, and his ideas will naturally be passed on to Mu Haifeng.
I took this sword that day, but I didn't want Mu Xue to be sad, and it was just right to return it when no one was there.
In fact, according to Mu Zhennan's approach, they are not wrong.
Whether it's a sword or silver, no matter what it is, there is no reason for the prince to be in front of the emperor.
In case the emperor is unhappy and suspicious, it is not a joke.
Therefore, Mu Zhennan's act of returning the sword is not only for the consideration of the General's Mansion, but also for the consideration of Nangong Li.
After saying this powerful relationship, Nangong Li gestured to Jiang Ci with his eyes, and Jiang Ci walked over and took the sword.
It seemed that he sensed Nangong Li's unhappy mood, Mu Haifeng was afraid that he would find trouble with Xiaoxue after he left because of this little thing, so he bowed down again and said: "Lord Wang, the sword is a rare peerless sword, and Wei Chen, as a general, is naturally greedy." I only hope that the prince will one day be able to justifiably give this sword to Weichen, and then Weichen will come to serve you again. ”
Justifiably!!
This sword is bad, and at this moment, he can't justifiably give it to him.
That's why this person sent the sword back according to Mu Zhennan's meaning.
It's just that the sword was sent back, which doesn't mean that he is unwilling to serve Nangong Li.
How could he not understand what Mu Xue meant that day, only if Nangong Li thought that Mu Xue was useful, Mu Xue would gain a firm foothold in the palace.
And the use value of Mu Xue is first reflected in Mu Fu, and the second is reflected in Mu Haifeng.
Mu Haifeng has become a habit to protect Mu Xue, even if there is no so-called Xuanying Sword, Mu Haifeng will silently protect her.
These words were vague, but Nangong Li understood what he meant, and immediately stretched out his hand to help him, but he was a little sincere: "General Mu understands what this king means, and I also ask Major General Mu to thank General Mu for this king, thank him for his thoughtfulness." ”
"The prince is polite, then please ask the prince to keep this sword for Weichen."
"Naturally!!"
The matter was negotiated, and Mu Xue also walked in, but Mu Haifeng had already left at this time.
Her eyes looked around, looking at Nangong Li's person at the table, her hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and asked him anxiously: "Where is Brother Haifeng?" ”
"Gone."
He said such a sentence lightly, and when he was about to tell her about Fang Cai, he found that the woman quickly handed over the tray in her hand to Fei Qi next to her, and then hurriedly chased out.
Nangong Li's fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly.....
Jiang Ci also saw the princess chasing after her, and whispered, "Do you want to call the princess back?" ”
The corners of Nangong Li's lips pulled a bloodthirsty and cruel smile, elegantly tidied up his robe, and said indifferently: "People are absent-minded, what are you doing when you call them back." ”
"If this spreads, it will damage the reputation of the princess, your lord."
"Hmph, she doesn't care about herself, why should this king carry it for her."
Nangong Li flicked his sleeve robe, looked around the room again, and instructed Fei Qi beside him: "The princess's things were lost in this room, and I didn't find them today, according to the nature of that little thing, she will definitely look for it again." If any of you find it, don't make a noise and bring it to the king, understand? ”
Fei Qi hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
And Yunzhi, who was about to come over, heard this and kept it in his heart.
And Mu Xue on that side asked the people in the house all the way, and when she heard that this Major General Mu had only been gone for a long time, she immediately trotted after him again.
The injury on her left knee was not healed, and running like this at this moment would inevitably hurt the wound, and her forehead was instantly covered with fine cold sweat.
There was the sound of horses' hooves kicking the bluestone slab at the door, Mu Xue knew that the person was about to leave when she heard this sound, and she couldn't help but be more anxious, and the pace under her feet was faster.
"Brother Haifeng, Brother Haifeng...."
Mu Haifeng was sitting upright on the tall horse at the moment, and when he was about to go back, he heard a familiar voice calling his name behind him.
When he turned his head to look, he found a shadow chasing after him, and immediately a bright smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly dismounted and ran over.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing her panting and running over, Mu Haifeng gently brushed the broken hair on her forehead for her.
