Volume 1: Young Ambition, Showing Strength Chapter 100 King Mu's murderous heart, the first time a noble man met
Qingcheng left, Mu Huang stood still, she thought about everything the two of them had experienced in the past, and what happened today, and her heart was full of emotion.
She is the pearl of King Guhong, the lord of Yunhuang County, who is personally crowned by Emperor Qi Yao, with a noble status and a prominent family, she knows that her marriage will definitely be implicated in the future of King Mu's mansion, and she can't be like Ouyang Lan, who likes to be with whomever she likes, and who she likes can always wait for whom.
As for Qingcheng, maybe he has great ambitions, both civil and military, and is a general, but this is only an estimate, not a fact. The current Qingcheng is a criminal minister, with no power and no backing, such a person, King Guhong is willing to cultivate for Mu Huang, and even marry his beloved daughter to him, but if Qingcheng goes against King Guhong's mind once, even if it is only once, King Guhong will never choose him again. It's a fact.
In fact, Mu Huang's feelings for Qingcheng are very delicate, although he has some good feelings, but not to the point of admiration, if she marries Qingcheng, she may also gladly accept it, but if the two are fated, Mu Huang will not die or live at the moment. This is also true.
Maybe with the accumulation of time, the relationship between the two may go further, but after today's incident, Mu Huang knows that Qingcheng will never treat her as before. Thinking of this, Mu Huang couldn't help but feel a trace of regret, a trace of remorse, and sighed in silence.
"What you love is always Ouyang Lan; You're waiting for only hers. After today, the road you have to walk will be even more difficult, and I have my own way to go and my own life to live. Let's hope we don't have any regrets. I hope that when we meet again on another day, you and I can still drink and talk, and you can still call me, Mu Zhongzhen. ”
Mu Huang's reaction King Gu Hong saw it in his eyes, and his heart was very uncomfortable. He is very deep in the city and has never been close to people, even if he is a confidant like Xu Lin, he will be more or less wary, let alone others. However, only for this daughter, King Guhong showed all his care and love, and for her, he even did not hesitate to marry the Duan family, whom he had always disliked, and did not hesitate to take the initiative to propose marriage, hurting his face. It is precisely because in his heart, even the whole world is not as important as this daughter.
And today's events, Mu Huang is a fan of the authorities, and King Guhong is a bystander, maybe she thinks that she just has a good impression of Qingcheng, and she has not reached the point of admiration. But King Guhong, who knows his daughter's character very well, has seen it much more thoroughly. He knew that Mu Huang's words were just retaining the last bit of dignity for himself.
"Huang'er is spoiled by me, and rarely has a good impression of outsiders, and when I propose to recruit a son-in-law, Huang'er doesn't refuse, which means that she is really tempted. It's just that the two haven't been together for a long time, and they haven't reached that unforgettable point. What's more, after all, she is the county lord of Daqi, and if she is rejected to her face, she always has to retain a trace of dignity before she can say that, in fact, she is also defending that kid. Duan Qingcheng, hum, whoever hurts my phoenix's heart, Tianwang Laozi has no mercy to talk about. This king will definitely make you regret it! ”
King Guhong loved his daughter, so he naturally blamed Qingcheng for today's events, and swore that he would find an opportunity to take revenge on Qingcheng in the future, make him regret today's decision, and then get rid of him. In this way, the hatred in his heart can be vented, and Mu Huang's concern can also be cut off, so that he will not be mistaken for life.
However, these things, King Guhong naturally would not mention half a word to Mu Huang. At this moment, he looked at Mu Huang's slightly sluggish expression, and after a moment of silence, he coughed lightly, and when the latter heard it, he looked at King Guhong after coming back to his senses, chuckled awkwardly, and then walked to his side, holding his arm and making a coquettish appearance.
"Father, are you still angry with your daughter?"
"Hmph, come less. It's really a big woman, my father sees that your wings are stiff, and he doesn't even listen to my words, and he is dedicated to protecting outsiders. Father, I'm just angry with you, I'm just angry that I wasn't ruthless enough to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
King Guhong was originally angry, but when he looked at Mu Huang's coquettish appearance, his anger dissipated instantly, and his eyes revealed a doting look that was difficult to hide, and he seemed to have lost his anger. However, when Mu Huang heard him talk about "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", he was still a little worried.
"Father, you are the Lone Hong King of our Great Qi, how can you be so cautious. Daughter to tell you the truth, I really didn't want to marry Duan Qingcheng, I did treat him as a friend, and I also saw a lot of things in him that I don't usually see, so I was a little curious, so how can you blame him for today's events. Didn't my daughter tell you, I am determined to become the female general of our Daqi, and I will not lose the style of King Mu's mansion, and he Duan Qingcheng does have a lot of merits in leading troops to fight, so what a pity it is to kill, it is better to keep him to serve my father well. By the way, let him make more military exploits and atone for his sins, father, do you think it is good? ”
"Exploits? Hmph, he wants to be beautiful. ”
When Mu Huang mentioned the matter of his military exploits, King Guhong didn't know what he thought, and after sneering, he said: "It's just a little thief, it's useless, don't mention it again." Huang'er, since you don't want to marry him, then stop this matter, and wait for your father to find a good husband for you in the future, which will be a thousand times stronger than him Duan Qingcheng. Don't you like to lead troops into battle? Okay, my father will find you a famous general. ”
"Father, aren't you really annoying your daughter? Why do you always think about marrying me off? I'm not in a hurry to get married, my daughter still has to stay with her father and fulfill her filial piety, and when you really bother me, mention this matter again. ”
Listening to Mu Huang's words, King Guhong knew that she couldn't transfer her love for Qingcheng for a while, so he found an excuse, and he was a little unbearable in his heart, and knew that this matter was not suitable for the time being, so he chuckled lightly and said: "My Huang'er is filial, which is my father's greatest luck, haha." Anyway, if you don't marry, you won't marry, and you'll talk about it when fate comes. By the way, is your master still well? She went down the mountain today, can you go to pay a visit? ”
Hearing King Guhong ask about this, Mu Huang nodded, as if he had thought of something, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Master, everything is fine, my daughter has already paid a visit, and my father can rest assured." When the father asked about the master, the daughter just remembered that she had something to discuss with her father. ”
Leaving Linxian Residence, Qingcheng did not rush back to the barracks, but wandered around the market. Some time ago, because of the Haichuan bandits and Qingcheng's decisive battle, many merchants closed their doors, for fear that the Wanli army would be defeated, and the pirates would take advantage of the situation to land and be harassed again. After the return of Qingcheng's victory, these stores also reopened, and for a while, Linhai City resumed its former singing and dancing.
However, the lively market is in great contrast with Qingcheng's state of mind at the moment. Today's incident, Qingcheng can't talk about regrets, but it is more or less uncomfortable. Mu Huang is straightforward, fair-minded, and helpful, and has helped Qingcheng a lot.
As a friend, Qingcheng is willing to associate with him, but it backfired, Mu Huang turned out to be the daughter of King Guhong, the lord of Yunhuang, and today King Guhong personally proposed marriage, he refused to marry in person, after this incident, the two still want to get along like before, it is impossible.
But Qingcheng doesn't regret today's decision, because he loves Ouyang Lan, and only her, so even if he offends King Guhong, even if he hurts Mu Huang's face, he will at most feel a little indebted and guilty, but he will never regret it.
Ouyang Lan and Qingcheng childhood sweethearts, they are happy with each other, and this unswerving relationship cannot be shaken by anyone or anything. Therefore, don't say that King Guhong, even if Emperor Hui gives him a marriage, as long as the other party is not Ouyang Lan, Qingcheng will find a way to refuse.
It's just that Mu Huang is the first friend and colleague Qingcheng has met since he joined the army, if he really hurts her because of his actions, Qingcheng is a little unbearable. He walked aimlessly on the road, and the ghost sent him into a wine shop, which was the wine shop where he met the prince's sister-in-law that day and was eating.
"Mother-in-law, she seems to like Mu Huang a lot, if she knows about today's events, I don't know if she will blame me. That day, because of the death of my stepmother, I taught Mu Huang a lesson, I originally wanted to persuade her to leave, afraid that it would be unsafe for her to continue to stay in the army, I thought that the words were more serious at that time, and I would explain it when I had the opportunity, but now, I don't know when I will have this opportunity. Ay. ”
Qingcheng walked into this wine shop, found a place to sit down, asked for ten catties of liquor and two side dishes, and drank it by himself. He gulped one cup after another, as if he wanted to get drunk and use wine to kill his sorrows, maybe he was really uncomfortable in his heart. However, just as Qingcheng poured another glass and was about to drink it all, suddenly a tall man stood beside him at some point, and stretched out his hand to block his wine glass, and he didn't know whether it was friend or foe.
"This man is so raw! If he was a friend or foe, I'm afraid I'd already been tricked, but how could this man be so familiar......
The person who came was a tall and burly man, and it looked like he should have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. He is more than six feet tall, full of muscles, bronzed skin, two thick eyebrows dotted on an angular face, coupled with a resolute and serious expression, and a temperament far beyond ordinary people, it is not difficult to see that he must not be an idle person.
He stretched out his hand to stop Qingcheng, but he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but instead opened his mouth to persuade: "Drinking alone hurts your body, young people should pay more attention." Your Excellency just took the famous general of Haichuan a few days ago, severely damaged his navy army, maintained the prestige of the Great Qi royal division, and made such a great feat, it should be celebrated, how can a person borrow wine here to kill his sorrows? ”
Hearing this, Qingcheng was shocked. He is not a general of Linhai City, and he is a new recruit who has just joined the army, although he has made military achievements, and his name has also spread among the Wanli army, but Qingcheng is low-key and cautious, so he never shows his head, so it is indeed not easy to recognize him at a glance in the crowd.
The person in front of him revealed his identity in one word, and even said these secret things, coupled with his sentence "lightly take the famous general of Haichuan", Qingcheng thought that he was referring to Shangquan Xinxuan after hearing it, and he was even more shocked in his heart, and he was very curious about the identity of this person.
Your Excellency praised it. Serving the country loyally is the duty of my Daqi soldiers, and I am just acting on orders and abiding by my duty, not to mention, the victory on the battlefield is in the whole army, not in the work of the next person, Qingcheng does not dare to be proud of his achievements. ”
"Okay, you are worthy of being a member of the Duan family in Qingyu City, you are really loyal and courageous, you didn't embarrass Brother Feiyan."
Listening to Qingcheng's reply, this man couldn't help but praise it, then pointed to the empty seat beside him and asked, "Can you have a few drinks together?" ”
"It's an honor, Your Excellency."
Who is this man? What is his intention in coming to Qingcheng?
