Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Ecstasy

"What exactly do you want?"

Yuan Mulan frowned slightly, she left Xu You a way to save her life, it stands to reason that she has shown great sincerity, but Xu You is still dissatisfied, so she doesn't bother to guess, the question goes straight to the core: It doesn't matter what I can give you, what you want is the most important.

"I, in fact, have no ambitions, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. The girl came from afar and deliberately murdered Ming Yushan, if I hadn't been lucky enough to have the upper hand......"

Yuan Mulan interjected: "Lang Jun is too humble! ”

This sentence is not a mockery, but a sincere one. For Xianbei people, strength determines everything, worshipping the strong is engraved in the blood of the nation, the more proud the person, the easier it is to worship the strong who is better than themselves. Xu You's ambush this time, whether it is the shrewdness to perceive the opportunity, or the cunning to show the enemy weakness, whether it is the courage to use himself as bait, or the determination to control the enemy alone, all of them secretly combine the art of war, and peep into the leopard, you can know the extraordinary and clever of this person.

Yuan Mulan will not feel unconvinced because she has failed, and her actual cultivation is stronger than Xu You, losing is losing, there is no reason, no excuse. In the past 20 years of war between Mobei and Rouran, countless lessons of blood and human life have made her understand a truth: the only law of war is to win by all means, without mercy, without right or wrong!

On the contrary, she admired Xu You's scheming and methods, raising him from an insignificant passerby to an opponent who could speak shoulder to shoulder.

Xu You smiled, noncommittal, and said, "If I hadn't gained the upper hand and fell into the hands of the girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to bargain." So, I want more than just a promise that I don't know if I can deliver on in the future......"

Yuan Mulan didn't act like a prisoner tied to the secret room at all, but an evenly matched opponent at the other end of the negotiation table, and said, "You say! ”

"I want 100 stone of Hedong salt, 20 million yuan, 10,000 horses of silk, and a list of all the foreign marquis officials in Jiangdong!"

"Salt, money, and silk are not a problem!"

Yuan Mulan's expression remained unchanged, and she said, "It's just that, why do you want a list?" You have no official position, and you are not an eagle dog of the Sili Mansion, and you even have a deep enmity with the imperial court, and it is useless for you to ask for a list of foreign marquises......"

Xu You blinked, suddenly came over, and could hear the breath from Yuan Mulan's ears, and said, "Stupid, didn't the girl find out, I just made a random condition so that you have a step to go down?" ”

Yuan Mulan was stunned, biting her lip, her cheeks instantly reddened.

Growing up so big, no man has ever dared to tease her like this!

Think about it, as a royal daughter, with the protection of the great grandmaster Yuanguang, and the promotion to the third rank high, what man can get so close without being killed?

Xu You laughed and left, and said: "Yu Su, you come to have a good talk with Yuan Girl, and by the way, I will solve her doubts to see if I am the kind of mean, unkind, ** women and children!" ”

Yu Su, who was waiting outside the door, came in, stood beside him with his hands tied, and sent Xu You away, she did not become any different because she revealed her identity, the north is the north, Jiangdong is Jiangdong, she has always been very clear.

When they came to Yuan Mulan, the two women looked at each other, and how many words came to their chests, but they didn't know what to say. I don't know how long it took, Yu Su stretched out her hand and gently brushed the corners of Yuan Mulan's eyebrows, and said, "Ru Ru, is it cold, I'll go add a brazier for you......" Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused, only to realize that this was not Mobei, and Yuan Mulan was no longer a little girl who needed her care, or that Yuan Mulan never needed anyone's care, and her concern back then even made Yuan Mulan a little helpless and resistant.

Twelve years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ru Ru's joking name sounds so unattainable, and the two laughed at the same time, and the laughter revealed the presumptuous and lofty free will of the Hu people's children, and the strangeness and estrangement of separation gradually dissolved in this laughter. It seems that I have returned to the camp tent of the Chinese army in a trance that year, the remnants of snow in the desert, the slanting sunset, the wolf smoke and frost and dew in the bitter cold land, witnessing countless rushes, fights and farewells.

If Yuan Guang played the role of a father in Yuan Mulan's life, Yu Su, who appeared briefly, played part of the role of a mother.

He ...... Are you okay? Yu Su hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"It's not too good!" Yuan Mulan lowered her head and said gloomily: "Master has contracted facial gangrene, which has not been cured for a long time, and he has resigned from his position as a general three months ago and returned to Pingcheng to recuperate. ”

As a great grandmaster, Yuan Guang did not say that all diseases were inviolable, but he could be tortured by ordinary gangrene and returned to Beijing to recuperate, Yu Su immediately realized that there must be a hidden secret, and said worriedly: "Is it the meaning of the Lord?" Or does he mean it himself? ”

Yuan Mulan didn't want to talk more about this topic, the father and son of the Chu State killed each other, and the Wei State was actually not much better. The reason why he left behind the arduous task of defending Rouran was because Yuan Yu's suspicion of him was deepening, and the rumors in the capital changed three times a day, and they were very loud, and there was a great posture to get rid of them. Yuanguang tossed and turned in Mobei, such as Mang's back, so he resigned from the official and asked to return to Beijing to recuperate, but he didn't expect to provoke Yuan Yu to be angry, and whispered to the inner servant that Yuanguang was a plan to retreat as a way to advance, and the Rouran army was ready to move, but he took the opportunity to force the monarch's father, with ill intentions, and betrayed his righteousness, and he was unprecedentedly accurate.

The emperor's attitude is the vane of Zhengzhi, after Yuanguang returned to Beijing, he was chased and beaten by Yushitai with pigtails, and the inner marquis even caught the door of the general Nianfu to the marquis Cao for interrogation, and the impeachment recital sent to the inner dynasty every day was like snowflakes, but Yuan Yu stayed in the middle and did not send it, and Yuanguang did not break the defense, and since then he has not been closed, refusing to see the guests.

But in the dead of night, Yuanguang is an independent high-rise building, sitting in the pavilion, always looking south and sighing. Yuan Mulan knew his thoughts, for so many years, he was worthy of Great Wei, worthy of his subjects, worthy of his brother, worthy of the king, but only sorry for that woman and his child.

Maybe it's the amazing talent above the martial arts is really against the harmony of heaven, although Yuanguang is not lustful, but he also has a wife and two concubines, but he has always had a difficult heir. Many years ago, his wife died in childbirth, and since then she has not remarried, and there is no concubine. After Yu Su left, he has not been close to a woman in the past 12 years, and the ugly slave who is lost and does not know life and death is already his only bloodline.

Therefore, no matter what, Yuan Mulan must protect Yu Yu and the ugly slaves!

Even if it buries all the efforts of the foreign marquis in the Chu State!

"None of that matters, the important thing is that Master has been living in remorse and guilt all these years, and I am afraid that if he continues like this, he will die of exhaustion if he doesn't wait for him to challenge Sun Guan. Now that he has been dismissed and returned to the field, the lord has no reason to suspect him, so I sneaked into Jiangdong, and I wanted to take you back unknowingly, but I didn't expect ......" Yuan Mulan paused, and suddenly asked, "What kind of person is Xu You?" ”

"Xu You......" A little gentle look appeared in Yu Su's eyes, and said, "He is actually a very good person......

Xu You, who was issued a good person card, was studying the feelings of Sanpin with Zuo Yan, and Zuo Yan's breakthrough was after Xu You left Qiantang, and he had a fight with Yuan Mulan with a white face before he came back, and the two didn't even have time to speak. Zuo Yan shared his experience after entering the three grades with Xu You and Qingming in every detail, which was an extremely rare scene in the martial arts practice of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The people of the world, even if the cooks and other miscellaneous servants are also self-cherished, they need to leave some unlearned to support their families, and they are easily unwilling to teach people the secret method, not to mention the difficulty of breaking the five products, so it is even more difficult to break the five products in pairs, even the apprentices under Sun Guan go out of the same door, and they are also wary of each other, and the usual competition and exchange are superficial, who is willing to be frank and selfless to tell others the know-how they rely on to gain a foothold?

Only Ming Yushan, headed by Xu You, belongs to the special case of the special case, the strange of the wonderful. Zuo Yan's breakthrough is all due to the merits of Xu You and Qingming, and he is a kind-hearted character, how can he hide his secrets? And the lessons he learned from breaking through the mountain gate provided the most reliable and direct understanding of Xu Youqing's cultivation, mutual benefit, wholeheartedness, mutual fulfillment, and mutual dependence.

He Wei also hurried back from outside, he and Zu Xiao went to Zhao Xin's shipyard a few days ago and did not return, Xu You did not inform him when he laid out last night, and did not send someone to invite him back to the mountain until he took Yuan Mulan. Speaking of Yu Su's identity, He Wei smiled: "I guessed that she was either rich or expensive, but I didn't expect it to be the princess of Xiliang Heqin...... In this way, the ugly slave is the daughter of Yuanguang? Ha, if the two armies meet in front of the battle in the future, I can't say that General Yuan wants his subordinates to show mercy......"

This is a joke, the two armies of Chu and Wei are at war, and no matter how great the kindness of taking in and raising ugly slaves is, it is not greater than the national interest, but it is naturally very beneficial to be able to get closer to the only two great masters in the north and south of the world, at least when the picture is poor in the future, Yuanguang will not personally attack Xu You, that is enough!

Xu You's settlement conditions, He Wei has no objection, in fact, even if the other party does not pay any price, Xu You will not force him to stay in the ugly slave. Yu Yu is just that, the ugly slave has been raised by her side all these years, Xu You really treats her as her own daughter, she has always loved her, and she will not be allowed to ask for anything. If Yuan Mulan is thoughtful and explains the reasons in detail, not only will he not be difficult, but he may also accompany the ugly slave to return to the north in case of emergency.

But it's no wonder that Yuan Mulan, her understanding of Xu You is based on the cognition of universal human nature, and if it is not my race, its heart must be different, this is the most common words of the Han people, if you know the identity of Yu Yu and the ugly slave, will you think that you can live in a strange product, sit on the ground and raise the price, and even hide the evil intentions. Therefore, for her, the most convenient and reliable way is nothing more than to take away the two girls through the secret channels of the foreign marquis through the secret channels of the foreign marquis without alarming Xu You.

It's a pity that Xu You is not only not a lamb to be slaughtered, but a real old fox, if she loses, then pay a ransom and exchange it at the same price, how much is her life, Yu Su's life, the life of the ugly slave and the life of those egret officials worth together, on this basis, a slight premium can be accepted.

It's so simple!

Yuan Mulan is a Xianbei person, her ancestors started from walking out of the Great Xianbei Mountain, what they pursued was the survival and reproduction of the entire tribe, with this as the goal, nothing else is important, so it is shameful to be defeated and captured, and it is not hateful to compromise to survive, even if you surrender and betray, you can be forgiven, and if you live, you will have a future!

When they met again, Yuan Mulan's opinion of Xu You had completely changed, and after listening to Yu Su's narration, anyone who could treat the alien mother and daughter who had sunk into purgatory with such care was a good deed worthy of respect and boasting.

Especially after such a good deed, standing was a handsome man with great strength, Yuan Mulan began to appreciate Xu You, but it was just a simple appreciation, and there were no other impurities.

"The list, Lou Dizhi should have it in his hand."

Yuan Mulan decided to complete the deal with Xu You, in fact, whether she wanted it or not, Lou Dijian and others were arrested, under torture, not to mention the list, even how many times she had been to Qinglou over the years could be asked. As Xu You said, the conditions offered are not harsh, and they can be regarded as leaving a decent step for both parties.

But Lou Dizhi didn't think so, the marquis in charge of Jiangdong Egret Lord Cao Longque just showed a bit of stubbornness in the face of death, and the cruelty of Quanjing and the coldness of the winter solstice made Yu Zhong completely frightened, and sold all the information: "I said, I said it all!" ”

He confessed not only the list, but also all the strongholds of the foreign marquis officials in Jiangdong, the contact codes, and the eyeliners of all levels that have been developed over the years. From Xu You's point of view, the organizational structure and espionage methods of the foreign marquis are almost primitive, one person is exposed, the upper and lower lines are all hiccuped, important people are exposed, and all the lines are finished together, just like Lou Dijian and Yu Zhong this time, these information should have been mastered by Lou Dijian alone, but because Yu Zhong is his friend and confidant, even Yu Zhong knows these most confidential information.

Dong Solstice is now acting more and more rigorously, and he got Yu Zhong's confession, but he interrogated Lou Dizhi again, and it only took two times to penetrate the bones, plus the heart attack, Lou Dizhi lost the courage to resist, and compared his confession with Yu Zhong, the two were correct, and then he told Xu You.

Xu You immediately shared the information with Wang Fu, and then with Wu County as the center, the Crouching Tiger Division wiped out the eyeliner of the foreign marquis in Yangzhou, and did not leak the slightest rumor. At the same time, Xu You arranged for a cargo ship of the trustworthy Baiwu merchants to transport Yuan Mulan, Yu Su, and Chou Nu back to the Northern Wei Dynasty along the sea route, while Lou Diji and others were left hostages, and the Hedong salt and money silk used as ransom were in place before releasing them.

Xu You was sent to Qiantang to desecrate, and the ugly slave cried incessantly, pulling the corner of his clothes and refusing to let go. Xu You squatted down, stared at her green eyes, and said softly: "You are a young eagle in the north, trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will be difficult for you to flutter your wings." Don't think about yourself, you should also think about your mother, after going to the country for 12 years, she is like an arrow, how can she be willing to stay in Qiantang? Well, I promise you that I will definitely go to Pingcheng to see you in the future, okay? ”

The ugly slave bit her lip stubbornly, tears swirled in her eyes, making people feel pity and pain, Xu You rubbed her hair dotingly, put her hands in her arms, felt the temperature of her heartbeat, and said in a low voice: "The ecstasy one, just don't do it!" ”

Finally sent to the ship, the ugly slave leaned on the railing, tilted his head, his delicate face bloomed like a spring, and shouted: "Xiaolang, send me a poem!" "She now loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially Xu Shi!

Xu You couldn't bear to refuse, and said: "Nanpu is sad to say goodbye, and the west wind is curling in autumn." As soon as you see the intestines broken, you can go and don't look back. ”

The ugly slave couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell like rain, and he cried loudly.

Yuan Mulan stood beside him, her beautiful face melted into the night, her star-like bright eyes flashed with aura, and she smiled slightly: "Xu Langjun, he will meet again in the rivers and lakes, please be my prisoner, how about it?"

Xu You laughed and said, "May it be as the girl wishes!" ”

The big ship hangs its sails and sails away, the sunset afterglow, the scales ripple, people say that the sunset is the end of the world, and I can't see home at the end of the world, Xu You is in the wind, and he is stupid for a while.
