Chapter 33: Tan'er Goes to the Side
Mu Sheng made a decision on his side, and Lu Lan's next day sent someone to summon him.
"This queen mother, I'm really anxious, it's only been half a day, and I can't wait." Luo Yu complained for Mu Sheng.
"The Queen Mother didn't give a direct reply yesterday, which is already the greatest grace, and besides, the palace has already made a decision, and it is not at this moment."
"Is that lady ready to refuse the queen mother?" Luo Yu was puzzled and couldn't help asking.
I saw Mu Sheng shaking his head slightly, "Since the Queen Mother has opened her mouth, how can she give this palace a chance to refuse, saying that let this palace think carefully, but let this palace think clearly about the stakes, and the feet have already stepped on the boat, so it is impossible to take it back." β
Hearing Mu Sheng say this, Luo Yu had an epiphany, yes, how could the Queen Mother be a reasonable person, she naturally said it well on the surface, but in fact, it is not allowed to be refused.
"It seems that the slave is too naΓ―ve, so did the mother really agree?" Luoyu still didn't want to believe it.
"The Queen Mother asked the palace to promise that it was the intention of the Queen Mother, and as for what the palace did, that was the meaning of the palace." Mu Sheng said very vaguely, although Luo Yu was sensitive, but he also listened to the clouds.
But after thinking about it, it can be seen from the time her mother dealt with Fang Lanzhi that she must not be a simple character to be handled by others, so she is not as worried as before.
β¦β¦
Shoukang Palace.
Rong Wan, the personal girl next to Lu Lan, knew that Lu Lan planned to reuse Mu Sheng, and she was very unhappy, she had asked Mu Sheng for trouble before, if she gained power here with Lu Lan, wouldn't she be in trouble.
"Queen Mother, do you think this Mu Sheng is really suspicious? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to use her for yourself like this? Rong Wan said with ulterior motives.
How could Lu Lan not know her little bit of caution, and then squinted at her coldly, "Are you thinking that the mourning family is confused now?" You can let anyone play around! She is just a small Zhaoyi, she has no power or power, and she can turn against the sky and enter the palm of the mourning family, especially if she turns it over, she can turn it out. β
"The slave and maid don't dare, the mother can't let such juniors be deceived, it's the slave and the maid who don't think it through." Rong Wan ate the training, so naturally it was not good to say more, so she had to shut up and continue to stand aside silently.
"Queen Mother, Mu Zhaoyi has arrived." The eunuch in the audience returned.
"Announce quickly." The Queen Mother said.
Mu Sheng entered the main hall of Shoukang Palace and saw Lu Lan on the stage looking at him mildly.
"Zhaoyi has thought it through, so did you come to reply to the mourning family?" Lu Lan asked softly.
Reply to you, it is clear that you yourself are impatient, and you summoned yourself, how can you say that it seems that I am willing to come, Mu Sheng thought in his heart.
"The concubine is willing to help the Queen Mother assist the emperor." Mu Sheng didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he directly expressed his intentions.
When Lu Lan heard her satisfactory answer, she was naturally in a good mood and smiled, "So good, Mu Zhaoyi, you can have such a far-sighted vision, the mourning family is very pleased, you can rest assured, the mourning family will not treat you badly in the future." β
Looking at Lu Lan's smug look, a smile crossed the corner of Mu Sheng's mouth, she now understands what it means to be sold by others and help people make money, isn't it Lu Lan at this moment.
"Rong Wan, send Mu Zhaoyi to leave first, the mourning family is a little tired."
"Yes." Rong Wan should arrive.
"The Queen Mother, the concubine has retired." Mu Sheng saluted and walked out of the main hall with Rong Wan.
didn't go far, Mu Sheng suddenly stopped and stood still.
He slowly spoke: "I don't know if Aunt Rong Wan has heard the saying that those who know the times are Junjie?" β
Rong Wan understood that Mu Sheng warned herself again because of the previous incident.
"The slave and maid naturally know that there are some things that the slave and the maid are still self-aware, so they don't worry about Zhaoyi's mother."
No matter what Rong Wan says, she is also Lu Lan's confidant, even if she is timid in her heart, she still does not suffer a loss.
Mu Sheng sneered, and then walked away, Rong Wan was so angry, of course she was not happy, she looked at Mu Sheng's departing back, her eyes were full of hostility.
Since she wants to pretend, Mu Sheng naturally has to pretend to be a little bit like this, even if she wants to be smart in front of Lu Lan, she can only be a little clever, not a brave and strategic, after all, Lu Lan is thoughtful, how can she be so easy to fool in the past.
She just wanted to make Lu Lan feel that she was just a snob for the sake of power, which was why she was so unhappy with a little slave, and her purpose was indeed achieved in the end.
β¦β¦
Yesterday, after Mu Sheng told Xiaoyi about the imprisonment of Concubine Li in the secret alley of the palace, Xiaoyi returned to Qingxiao and discussed with Chen Yi.
"Does Lu Lan know about this secret palace? With such a big move from them, Lu Lan's eyeliner was dense, didn't it alarm her? Chen Yi questioned.
"This Mu Sheng didn't mention it, I shouldn't know, otherwise Lu Lan would have made a move a long time ago." Xiaoyi guessed.
"So how are you going to do it? Do you want to go to Wuqi Mountain? If I'm not mistaken, it's the territory of Qingtai. β
Wuqi Mountain is a lonely mountain in the territory of Qingtai, this mountain is full of strange stones, beautiful and beautiful, so it is named Wuqi.
Xiaoyi nodded and said, "So I'm even more puzzled, why did this woman let Yan Qinghan go to Qingtai to find this person?" What does Concubine Li have to do with this person in Qingtai? β
"It seems that if we want to solve these confusions in our hearts, we should really go to Qingtai. I think so many years have passed since we first left. Chen Yi sighed.
He still remembers that in order to avoid the pursuit of the Wan Dynasty, they fled all the way back to Chenyi's ancestral land Qingtai, and avoided it for three years.
"I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I don't know what awaits us this time." Xiaoyi looked at Chen Yi, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was.
Once they had made their decision, the two were ready to go.
It's just that this time I go, Xiao Xiao has no owner, and Xiaoyi is really relieved.
The other disciples are fine, but this Xu Ling is still young, and if he stays in Qingxiao, he will inevitably be bullied by other senior brothers.
"Don't tell me you're going to take that little devil with you, do you?" Chen Yi seemed to see what Xiaoyi was thinking.
"He's still young, and I don't know how long we'll be here, so I really can't rest assured." Xiaoyi tries to convince Chenyi.
"No, I don't know what dangers will be encountered on this journey, let alone what will happen, even if you take him, you may not be able to protect him."
Compared with the many dangers outside, it is better to be bullied lightly, after all, those guys just love to talk, and they are still good to this little junior brother in their hearts.
Xiao Yi thought about it carefully, and finally decided to follow Chen Yi's idea, or left Xu Ling behind, and explained to a few stable and older disciples, take care of the sect, and wait for them to return.
Subsequently, the two officially embarked on the road to Qingtai.
β¦β¦
Outside the frontier, not long after Tan'er recovered from his last injury, he rushed here on Yan Qinghan's orders.
Some Turkic foreign tribes outside the country that are not affiliated with the Wan Dynasty have been preparing to move in recent years, and they have only tentatively extended their tentacles to the border countries attached to the Wan Dynasty, but now, they seem to be becoming more and more rampant, and have gradually spread their tentacles to the territory.
As for why Tan'er is a woman here, there is naturally a reason.
Tan'er's family has been living in the frontier Yanjing, Tan'er was still young, the family was persecuted by the Turks abroad, when she was only six or seven years old, watching her family relatives die under the knife of the Turks, but she was powerless, just when she was about to suffer misfortune, a boy who was two or three years older than her stabbed to death the devil who killed his relatives.
The boy was dressed simply, he looked like an entourage, although he was young, and his martial arts were not skilled, but it was more than enough to deal with three or four enemies, and he was accompanied by the emperor of the Wan Dynasty and his prince at that time, since then, although Tan'er has become an orphan without father and mother, but with the help of this boy, she was taken to Wan Dynasty by the prince, and since then she has followed him to learn martial arts with the prince, and that boy is the current Qi Guang, and the prince is the current emperor Yan Qinghan.
The reason why Yan Qinghan asked her to come here is because she has lived near the border since she was a child and is very familiar with the terrain here, and second, she still has clansmen here.
After many years, when Tan'er returned to this nightmarish land, she swore that she would kill those hateful Turks and avenge her parents, and the innocent dead people and people.
When Tan'er appeared in front of the clansmen, many of them no longer recognized her, after all, she was just an immature child when she left, and now she has grown into a slim girl.
"You're Tan'er, the lord's daughter, I didn't expect to grow so big!?"
"Tan'er, the clansmen don't know how much they miss you, the lord and his wife died tragically, and you were taken away by the first emperor, for so many years, the clansmen are very worried!"
Seeing the care of her own people, Tan'er is also sad and happy, sad that she will never see her father again
Mother, I'm glad that I'm not alone.
"I came back this time because of the emperor's order, and over the years, foreign Turks have repeatedly violated the border, and now it is even more rampant."
"Is my father's old bodyguard still there?" Tan'er asked.
"After you left, they didn't disband, they have always been protecting the remaining people." A clansman said.
"How many people are left?"
"About two thousand."
There are still 2,000 left, and she remembers that there were 10,000 people in the team formed by her father before his death, but she didn't expect so many people to die in that battle.
But fortunately, they are still there, and she is only here to investigate some situations outside the frontier, and these people are enough for now.
