Volume 1: Above the Temple, Chapter 21: The Father and the Son (II)
"Whatever you decide in the future, support yourself? What was my father worried about? ”
After listening to Mu Qingen's words, Mu Qiuhuang was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask.
"By the way, there is something else the child has to understand?" In order to alleviate Mu Qingen's sadness, Mu Qiuhuang began to change the topic.
"What's the matter?" Mu Qingen raised her head and asked.
Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment and said, "What the child is puzzled about is that Mr. is an obsessive sword immortal among the four great sword immortals, why would he agree with his father to protect me for ten years?" ”
Since he learned Gu Chenyuan's true identity in Mangdang Mountain, this question has always existed in Mu Qiuhuang's heart, and he didn't dare to ask in the face of Gu Chenyuan at that time, so he just took the opportunity to answer the question in his heart, and by the way, take this matter to see how deep the background of Beiyu Houfu is?
Speaking of this, Mu Qingen showed a trace of admiration on his face, and said respectfully: "Mr. Gu really deserves the word 'Crazy Sword Immortal', and the reason why he was able to ask him to protect you for ten years is purely a coincidence."
Ten years ago, Mr. Gu's wife was poisoned, and when he took his wife to Beiyu Hou, he happened to be met by me. I invited him to come to the Hou Mansion, thinking about whether I could let the doctor in the mansion remove the poison for her wife, and by the way, get a good relationship, who expected that the poison in her wife was very strange, although she had the breath of life, but she was unconscious, like a living dead......"
"It's a gossamer."
"When I was in Mangdang Mountain, Mr. had asked Wu Lingtong to verify this poison, Wu Lingtong said that it was gossamer poison, and the poisoned person would not die immediately, but would be left to hang in a breath, although he had no consciousness, but he would age in a deep sleep like a normal person, until his vitality was completely exhausted and he died...... Mu Qiuhuang recalled the conversation between Gu Chenyuan and Wu Lingtong when he was in Mangdang Mountain, and explained to Mu Qingen.
"Wu Lingtong?"
"Doesn't my father know Wu Lingtong? Although Wu Lingtong is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, his strength should be stronger than my master, but it is a little weaker than that of my master......" Mu Qiuhuang completely described the battle between the two.
"I can't imagine that there are such characters on the rivers and lakes?" Mu Qingen exclaimed.
"And what about later? Since the doctor in the house could not remove the poison of his wife, how could the husband reach an agreement with his father? Mu Qiuhuang asked puzzled.
"Because of the ice spirit."
"Ice?"
"Yes, it is precisely because of the ice spirit, the ice spirit was obtained by me from the destruction of the Great Snow Mountain in the past, it is the most yin and cold thing, and if you put it in your mouth, you can keep your youth alive, I promised to lend the ice spirit to Mr. Gu, and in exchange, Mr. Gu needs to protect you for ten years."
"I see, no wonder my husband is willing to deign to follow me for ten years." Mu Qiuhuang muttered.
"By the way, where did Mr. Gu go later?" Mu Qingen asked.
"Mr. went to Miaojiang after the contract expired."
"How could Mr. Gu go to Miaojiang?" Mu Qingen was puzzled.
"Because the poison in my husband's wife came from Miao Jiang."
"Mr. Gu is really an infatuated lover." Mu Qingen's tone was full of appreciation.
……
"Father, ...... the second brother wants to go to the army?" Mu Qiuhuang brought up this topic again.
"Oh, you want me to arrange for him to go to the barracks?" Mu Qingen wondered.
"Yes, I promised my second brother to ask you for him." Mu Qiuhuang replied.
Mu Qingen turned his head to look at Mu Qiuhuang and saw that his face was sincere and not half fake, and asked strangely, "Tell me?" What exactly do you think? ”
Mu Qiuhuang replied after a little thought: "Actually, it is not a good thing to let the second brother go to the army. ”
Mu Qiuhuang paused slowly and said: "My aunt can willingly marry her father as a concubine as a princess, and she has never complained about her father's decision for so many years, which shows my aunt's affection for my father." The second brother was born to his father and aunt, if his father asked the second brother to go to the army, the aunt would naturally feel comforted when she saw that her father attached so much importance to the second brother. ”
Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang, obviously not expecting him to say this, and his heart was full of relief.
In fact, when Princess Changling first began to marry Beiyu, Mu Qingen respected her like a guest but also had a sense of defense, but as time went by, Mu Qingen naturally found that Princess Changling had a deep affection for herself, which could not be faked, so she was also very sorry for Princess Changling in her heart, but if Princess Changling was corrected, Mu Qingen also felt sorry for her ex-wife, so there were many contradictions in her heart. And she didn't let Mu Qiulin get involved in the military power, Princess Changling never raised any objections, and this profound righteousness is far from what ordinary women can have.
If Mu Qiulin is really allowed to go to the army, it is equivalent to admitting in disguise that he has the intention of considering letting Mu Qiulin inherit the position of Marquis of Beiyu, so that Princess Changling will naturally be satisfied in her heart, although she will feel a little less guilty about Princess Changling if she does so.
But at the same time, Mu Qingen is worried about this, if this is the case, it is inevitable that the people below will mistakenly think that they have this idea, before he insisted on establishing Mu Qiuhuang as the son of the family despite everyone's opposition, and the old ministers in the mansion raised objections, and now Mu Qiuhuang is a sea of qi is abolished and cannot use force, once he reveals a little meaning, I am afraid that the resistance to Mu Qiuhuang's succession will become more and more great in the future, don't forget that your position is not right.
Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang and didn't speak for a long time, he naturally knew that with this son's intelligence, he could naturally think of this, but why did he suggest that he do this? Could it be that he really didn't care about the position of the Marquis of Beiyu?
Mu Qiuhuang was not surprised to see that Mu Qingen was silent, and said with a slight smile: "Father don't worry, if I didn't know that my father valued me and didn't consider my second brother's thoughts, I wouldn't have said these words to my father." ”
"Oh?" Mu Qingen raised her eyebrows.
"In fact, my father's worries are superfluous, to put it mildly, if my father is a hundred years later, even if I can successfully inherit the position of the Marquis of Beiyu, I dare not guarantee that the people below will be convinced of me, rather than leaving these contradictions in the future, it is better to make arrangements now. If the second brother goes to the army, the people below will not dare to move, even if the people below have other thoughts, they will only make a choice between me and the second brother, and will not move those thoughts that should not be moved. In this way, no matter who inherits Beiyu between me and my second brother in the future, Beiyu will not be chaotic, as long as Beiyu is not in civil strife, no matter how the situation in the world changes, I Beiyu will have a place. ”
In fact, Mu Qiuhuang's worries do exist, who doesn't want to be called the king and emperor in the troubled times? Mu Qingen also has good trust in his six righteous sons, so the six righteous sons are also regarded as a prince with soldiers and food in the state city they are guarding, if Mu Qingen lives in the world for a day, they will naturally not, and they dare not have a heart of disobedience, but if Mu Qingen is a hundred years later, whether it is Mu Qiuhuang or Mu Qiulin, who inherits this position, if they can't come up with the strength to match, I am afraid that some people will inevitably be dissatisfied...... For example, it is an indisputable fact that chaos has become an indisputable fact today, and the reason why the chaos has not yet swept is because of the prophecy of the real person of Longhu Mountain Boya "Ten Jiazi should change the sky", and now the six hundred years have not yet arrived, and they all feel that the number of great ghosts has not yet been exhausted...... But how long can the current situation last, once the prince can't bear it, the situation will be broken in an instant, and then cause a chain effect.
Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang carefully, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she unabashedly showed her appreciation for this son.
"Okay, according to what you said, since you can see the situation in the world so thoroughly, I don't worry about you anymore, I also understand that as long as you want to inherit this position, then this position must be yours, even if I really give this position to Lin'er, as long as you want, it will definitely be yours in the future, I only hope that no matter what Lin'er does in the future, I hope that no matter what Lin'er should not do in the future, I hope that you can save his life in your father's face, and try to keep him alive...... Of course, if it is not possible, you should remember that your father said to you before, 'No matter what you decide, your father will always support you.'" Mu Qingen said calmly.
"Thank you father, the child will remember what he said." Mu Qiuhuang sincerely felt Mu Qingen's love for him.
In fact, Mu Qiuhuang still had a real idea in his heart and did not say anything to Mu Qingen, that is, if Mu Qingen let Mu Qiulin go to the army, then Mu Qiulin would become a natural shield, when everyone's attention was focused on Mu Qiulin, naturally no one would pay attention to this sea of qi abolished, and he could also take the opportunity to escape into the shadows.
"Then in your opinion, where is the right place for Lin'er to go?" Mu Qingen asked.
Mu Qiuhuang didn't answer directly when he heard this, but thought about it seriously.
Needless to say, the three cities of Yun, Mu, and Zhou in the nine cities of Beiyu can't let Mu Qiulin go. And the remaining six cities, Shang is the blood phoenix iron crazy cloud, Qiu is the goshawk Linghu Ji, Lei is the evil dog Qi Sanbao, thunder is the harrier eagle talking about Bai Ming, Buye is the mad tiger Shentu, and Loulan is the spirit tiger Ouyang Dongqing.
Mu Qiuhuang thought seriously, "When I went to the barracks, I was under the command of Tie Mad Yun, and Tie Mad Yun followed his father for the longest time and was the deputy commander of the Blood Phoenix Banner, so there is no need to say much about Tie Mad Yun's loyalty, and he also trusted him very much.
Mad Tiger Shentu was leading the army in the grassland at this time, so he naturally couldn't go until night.
Although the abolition of his Qi Sea is related to the disadvantage of the evil dog Qi Sanbao Protector, it is a treacherous sword immortal, and he can't stop it even if he is afraid of others, and he already understands Qi Sanbao, so Leizhou is also excluded.
As for the other three, although they have been in contact with each other, they have not been in contact for a long time, so they don't know their personality preferences...... Hill? Held? Loulan? Second brother, where should I let you go? Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, difficult to decide.
Mu Qingen saw Mu Qiuhuang's brows tightened, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and reminded: "Ling Hu Ji seems to be vulgar, but in fact, he has a strong view of the overall situation, talking about Bai Ming is a typical military character, Ouyang Dongqing is good at resourcefulness, if his talent enters the court, he can be a Zaifu." ”
After listening to Mu Qingen's words, Mu Qiuhuang's brows instantly opened, and he said with a smile: "Even if the father decides, why should he test the child?" ”
Mu Qingen smiled and said, "Father wants to hear your advice." ”
Mu Qiuhuang laughed and said: "Ouyang Dongqing has the talent of Zaifu, wouldn't it be good to let the second brother go to his hands to temper it?" ”
Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang and was a little unsure, did he recommend it according to his own ideas, or did he guess what he thought in his heart?
"Okay, then let Lin'er go to Loulan!" Mu Qingen shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
