Fu Zhongwen responded: "Remember, child. ”

Fu Bo glanced at him a few more times, and said, "The patrol camp is not in a hurry, you need to rest well for the injuries on your body, don't exhaust your body." ”

The young general nodded obediently and said, "The child knows. ”

Fu Bo looked at him, except for explaining Li Chengyi's birthday banquet, as if he couldn't find any other topics to continue talking about with Fu Zhongwen.

He raised his hand, pulled his sleeve and wiped the sweat and sludge on Fu Zhongwen's face, and then said calmly: "That... And I returned. ”

Fu Zhongwen didn't keep it, and said gently and respectfully: "Father be careful on the road." ”

Fu Bo turned around, pedaled his horse, and whipped away.

In the middle of the night, the dense stars in the sky are like a large net, engulfing the continent in it, and the people who come and go in the darkness seem to be blended into the night, unable to distinguish the outline.

The matter of the prince setting off for Guangxin without permission was finally calmed down by Emperor Wei's great efforts to suppress it. However, in just two days, the capital was lively again because of the upcoming birthday banquet of Taifu Li Chengyi on the third day of the fifth month.

Li Chengyi has served in the court since the time of Emperor Zhang, because of his life achievements, integrity, and the elder of the four dynasties, the teacher of the Son of Heaven, and high morality. Two months ago, the Son of Heaven specially ordered Cui to move out of the palace and discuss Li Fuzi's birthday banquet with Li Xian, the son of Li Chengyi and the current head of the Taifu Mansion.

The birthday banquet was large-scale, and the queen was ordered by the Son of Heaven to personally go to the Li Mansion to congratulate her.

Since January, Li Xian has been preparing for the birthday banquet with all his heart, and he has also handed invitations to the big and small officials in the capital.

Mu Yun, who had been idle in the mansion, arrived on the twenty-ninth day of April, and after Xue Qing mentioned the matter, he remembered that Old Master Li's birthday banquet was in May. So he hurriedly asked Xue Qing if he had prepared a congratulatory gift.

Xue Qing had already prepared the congratulatory gift in accordance with Jiang Chengyi's instructions.

Only then did Mu Yun settle down.

Master Li's birthday banquet was a sensational event in the capital, and even the queen had to come in person. Mu Yun, as the wife of the head of the East Mansion, naturally responded to the invitation and went to the banquet with the birthday gift.

She hated this kind of banquet where people came and went, but for Jiang Chengyi's sake, she had to go hard.

In the afternoon of this day, she took two little maidservants to Nanshi to buy jewelry, and had a small gathering with Mrs. Cheng for a while, and specially asked her for the rules required for the banquet, so that she felt at ease.

In the evening, when she came out of the General's Mansion, her face was exhausted. As the servant drove around the Upper East Gate, he heard a commotion from the corner of the street.

Xue Qing was guarding in front of the carriage, dozing off with his eyes closed, and when he heard the movement in front of him, he immediately opened his eyes and looked ahead.

On the corner of Shangdongmen West Street, a group of people surrounded in the dark, and there was no idea what was going on.

Mu Yun was not interested in what was happening outside, but when he closed his eyes to recuperate, he heard Xue Qing say outside: "Madam." Something seems to be going on up ahead. Ox carts cannot travel from the East Gate, so you have to wait for a while. ”

Mu Yun opened his eyes and asked, "The other paths are impassable?" ”

Xue Qing got out of the car, circled around a few times, and said with a frown: "The alley of Xiangqian Gate is crowded with people, and the ox cart is afraid that it will not be able to pass." ”

Mu Yun lifted the curtain of the car and stretched out his head to look at the crowded place.

"It's almost night, why are there so many people crowded in the corner of the east gate?" Mu Yun wondered.

Xue Qing opened the crowd in front of the ox cart and wanted to inquire about the situation, but was squeezed out by the denser and denser crowd.

He reluctantly returned to the ox cart and said to Mu Yun: "Madam, there are too many people here, and my subordinates can't squeeze in." ”

Mu Yun looked at the pile of people, and his eyes became serious: "Then park the car in the idle alley first, don't block the pedestrians behind." ”

The car drove into an alley and stopped. Mu Yun got out of the carriage with the support of the maidservant.

Xue Qing was by her side, vigilant everywhere.

Mu Yun smiled: "Why are you so nervous? ”

Xue Qing's eyebrows frowned, staring at the more and more crowds outside the alley, and said uneasily: "Madam is pregnant now, so it's better to be careful in everything." ”

Mu Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so vigilant. I'm going to see what's going on at the east gate. ”

Xue Qing stopped her and said, "Madame, don't go, there are too many people." If the lady is curious, she can send her subordinates down. ”

Mu Yun walked to the back of the crowd, tiptoed, and craned his neck to look inside. The dense crowd covered all of the East Gate. Xue Qing guarded her and didn't dare to leave half a step.

Faintly, the sound of shouting and crying came from the crowd. She struggled to tiptoe, and it didn't take long for her to get tired.

At this moment, a hand reached out from behind her, and suddenly pushed her forward.

Mu Yun and Xue Qing didn't expect it, and when she stumbled, she almost threw herself to the ground. But at this time, he was fished up by a strong arm. She exclaimed, crashed into someone's arms unexpectedly, and quietly used her mana to stabilize herself in private, before turning her head to look at the person who pulled her up. 80

This person is handsome and handsome, tall and tall, with gentle eyebrows and eyes. He gently tugged at her arm and held her shoulder with one hand, afraid that she would fall again.

Mu Yun looked at him, only to see him smile lightly, and said softly to himself: "Girl, be careful, there are many people here." ”

Seeing that the two of them were in the wrong position, Mu Yun hurriedly broke free from his arms, pulled the placket of his somewhat messy clothes, stood far away and said, "Thank you, son." ”

Mu Yun stepped aside, and he was not ready to pay attention to this person, but he no longer joined the crowd.

Xue Qing suddenly saw Fang Cai's thrilling scene, and almost lost his soul, but when he saw Mu Yun standing firmly, his pounding heart gradually calmed down.

He bowed to the man who helped Mu Yun, and was about to say thank you, but Mu Yun pulled him away and stood aside.

Xue Qing was stunned, turned his head to look at Mu Yun, and said in confusion: "Madam, what are you doing?" ”

Mu Yun's face was a little pale and said, "I now think what you just said is very right... Be careful. ”

Xue Qing nodded again and again: "Madame is right to think so." You go with your servant to the ox cart and wait, and your subordinates will thank the boy first, and then come back. ”

Mu Yun shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Xue Qing glanced at the young man, frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"Look at the way he's dressed." Mu Yun glanced at the accessories on the young man's waist again, and whispered to Xue Qing: "This person... I'm afraid it's a child of the Fu family. ”

Xue Qing was startled, and secretly looked the man up and down, only then did he notice the blood jade he was wearing around his waist. Such a bright-colored blood jade could only come from the Fu Mansion.

Looking up again, Xue Qing and the man looked at each other.

This face, he suddenly felt that he had seen it somewhere, and it was very familiar.

Mu Yun tugged at the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice, "Don't have much contact with him." We went to wait in the ox cart and went home as soon as the crowd dispersed. ”

Xue Qing came back to his senses, listened to her instructions, and responded: "Oh"

A few people turned back to the alley.

It's just that he hasn't sat down on the ox cart yet. The crowd on the other side of the east gate made another commotion.

"Bang!" There was a loud thud, as if something had slammed into the ground.

The crowd shouted noisily, and some people scolded and walked to the alley where the ox cart stopped, and said viciously: "Let your kid continue to steal?" Your mother is not a good person, and neither are you. ”

Mu Yun listened to this very uncomfortable rude abuse, and couldn't help but open the curtain to investigate the situation.

I saw that the crowd that was still surrounding the east gate somehow came to the side of the alley.

A skinny little boy and a tall and mighty man were surrounded in the center.

The bullock cart was parked right in the middle of the side street, and it was just right to see everything. The big man took a broom in his hand and slammed it to the ground, trembling, and the little boy in ragged clothes scolded viciously: "Cheap seed! Bastard! ”

Although the crowd shouted to stop the big man's voice, no one really stood up to protect the little boy.

Because the big man was drunk and violent, he not only held a broom in his hand, but also a long sword that was a little sluggish and rusty.

Although the sword is rusty, it is still a sharp blade when used to slash and attack.

Mu Yun watched the little boy being beaten continuously, and the whole person shrunk into a ball and sobbed, and immediately felt indignant in his heart, so he ordered Xue Qing to step forward to stop it.

At this moment, a person suddenly squeezed in from the crowd and said to the big man: "In broad daylight, beating a child, but there is still a king's law?" ”

The sound was crisp and loud, and the restless and noisy crowd was quiet for a moment.

The big man stopped the thrashing in his hand, followed the sound and looked at the person who spoke, and said with a strange expression: "Who is talking?" ”

Mu Yun held the curtain and saw a person walking out of the crowd, it was the man who was holding her just now.

The man stood with his hands in his hands, his posture was upright, and his body exuded a noble atmosphere, he stared at the rough and savage man with disdain, and said coldly: "It's down." ”

The big man was not a rich man, and he couldn't hear and see such a person dangling in front of him, so he bared his teeth and roared: "Where did you come from? Lao Tzu disciplines his son, and it is your turn to take care of it? This little rabbit cub, with his dead lady, stole my wine money and slipped out of the house, can't Lao Tzu fix it? ”

"Whether you're disciplining your own children, I don't know, I just know. The child's mother has been knocked unconscious by you in the street. Perhaps everyone here is afraid of being hurt by the sword in your hand. But I'm not afraid. If you move another hair of that child, I will beat you so that you don't even know your father. The man let out a foul speech and said unceremoniously to the big man.

The big man was drunk and slightly drunk, and his speech was incoherent, and when he heard that someone had insulted him like this, his head instantly sobered, and he ran towards the man with a long sword and sneered: "Where did the reckless boy come from, how dare he play prestige in front of Lao Tzu?" ”

He picked up the long sword in his hand and slashed at the top of the man's head, baring his teeth and grinning fiercely: "You have to show Lao Tzu what you have to do!" ”
