On the way back, Zhao Mingsheng was thinking about how to tell Yunyan about his imminent departure. didn't expect that without him opening his mouth now, the two of them had to think about where to go next.

Sitting in a dilapidated small room, Zhao Mingsheng turned his back to Yunyan and looked out the window and took the lead in breaking the peace. "Yan'er, you will talk to Hu Guo with me, right?"

It is an inquiry, not a decision. Since Zhao Mingsheng promised to give Yunyan freedom and give her a safe life, he would not force her to do anything.

Yunyan raised his head to look at the man who was blocking the light, his eyes wavered for a moment, but then calmed down again. She said lightly: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to face those people again." ”

As expected, Zhao Mingsheng did not have much loss. In fact, Zhao Mingsheng himself is not so sure about the decision to let Yunyan follow him back to Hu State, once he goes back, then the bloody storm he will face will inevitably have to be experienced by Yunyan, which is something he is unwilling to face.

Yunyan seemed to be worried that Zhao Mingsheng would be upset by his answer, so after thinking about it, he opened his mouth to explain: "I just don't want to face them, if I go back to Hu Country with you, then I will definitely face the disputes between my uncle and Mumo and you in the future." Narumori, I'm tired, I just want to take a good rest. ”

I am tired of Yunyan's sentence, and Zhao Mingsheng has an indescribable distress in his heart. He turned around and took Yunyan into his arms and said in a tone that only two people could hear, "I know! ”

As for where to go next, Zhao Mingsheng is not worried that Yunyan is unwilling to follow him, but for the current situation, he is worried that Yunyan will face no fixed place and troubled times in the future.

Looking at the person in his arms, Zhao Mingsheng thought for a long time before asking, "Then have you figured out where you are going?" ”

Regarding Zhao Mingsheng's worries, Yunyan did not worry as much as he did. When he heard Zhao Mingsheng ask where he wanted to go, Yunyan raised his head expectantly and thought about it and said: "I want to walk around, there will always be a paradise in the world that has not been polluted by power, if you really find such a place, you can come and live with me, okay?" ”

Previously, Yunyan had always been a kite restrained by revenge, although it could float high in the air, but it was not free. Now that she has looked down on everything, her mentality is naturally different from before. Today's Yunyan is full of expectations and longing for everything outside, even if the world is disturbed, what does it have to do with her?

Looking at Yunyan's longing, Zhao Mingsheng was also sincerely happy for her. He looked at Yunyan and nodded, "Okay, if you find that place, you must come and pick me up earlier!" ”

This is an agreement between the two people, and at the moment when Zhao Mingsheng set off to leave, the last words of the two people were the same. Yunyan nodded vigorously, and then the two of them walked with their backs to each other at the same time. It's just that what Yunyan didn't know was that the moment she left Zhao Mingsheng, Zhao Mingsheng arranged a secret guard to protect Yunyan's safety in secret from letting her find out. This matter was arranged by Zhao Mingsheng when they went to Lanzhou.

On the way back to Hu with peace of mind, during this time, many changes also occurred in the Qiang country. Because of Feng Jinsong's accidental death, Mu Cong found that it was better to raise a useless person than to turn him into a dead person.

Mu Cong concealed the news that Feng Jinsong had died, and appeased the people of Qiang every day, although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not see their king again, but Mu Cong still stabilized those ministers of the court with his good lips and tongue, and then the people in the capital returned to their old lives after being uneasy for a while. After all, for the common people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor or not, all they care about is whether they have enough to eat today's firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Mu Cong saw that the people had finally returned to their former calm, and then also released the news that Feng Jinsong had died, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had died peacefully in his sleep, without warning, without pain, everything was so sudden, just as all of you understand.

Although there were still some small fluctuations in the capital when the news of the emperor's death spread, Mu Cong still relied on the powerful power and financial resources of the Mu family to calm down. And what follows is the well-known national funeral and the selection and succession of the next monarch.

At this time, Feng Jinsong's three waste sons had already been sent to the side by Mu Cong in the early morning under the pretense of Feng Jinsong's tone, and the three princes who had no talent and popular support were naturally not mentioned. Then when the old slave Zhang Gonggong, who was beside Feng Jinsong, took out the emperor's edict in a dignified manner, the name of Mumo was written on it.

Although some people don't quite understand a relative to inherit the emperor, but the little prince of Mumo is also a nobleman who wants to be talented, talented, good-looking, and popular, let Mumo inherit the throne, everyone just didn't react at first, but then when their brains bypassed this bend, the people also walked happily to tell each other, looking forward to this young prince being able to inherit the throne and lead the Qiang Kingdom to become more powerful.

And Mu Mo only understood his father's arrangement when Zhang Gonggong read out the edict, he had always thought that everything Mu Cong did was just to get on the throne and live the emperor's addiction, but after the matter was over, he didn't expect that the person who was finally pushed to the throne was not his father but himself. Mu Mo said that such an arrangement was unacceptable.

On the night after reading the edict, Mu Mo found his father Mu Cong to express his attitude. Standing in front of Mu Cong, Mu Mo was ready to leave after speaking. His previous plan was to help his father seize the throne and then go to Yunyan.

"Nonsense!" Mu Cong shouted at Mu Mo's back, he looked at Mu Mo with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "Do you know what the edict read by Gonggong Zhang today means?" ”

Mu Mo paused to continue his steps, he looked back at his father and said, "I thought that everything my father did was for himself to be able to ascend to the throne, if it was for me from beginning to end, you shouldn't have bothered so much. You know, I'm not interested in power. ”

"There's no guy who isn't interested in power, and what you say isn't interested in is that you haven't reached that height. Now that the people of the Qiang Kingdom have recognized you as the future king, and it will not be long before you can hold a ceremony to inherit the throne, at this time you come to tell me no? Mumo's road is not something you can run away from if you want to! ”

For his father's persecution, Mu Mo finally couldn't help but break out. For Mu Cong's forced time and time again, Mu Mo endured it. For the sake of Yunyan, Mu Mo did all the things he didn't bother to do before. But what happens in the end? Mu Mo completely lost the news of Yunyan, and he also forced himself into a quagmire and couldn't get out.

"I never thought of going down this path, father, don't forget the agreement between us."

"Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, do you want to go out and declare to the world that the edict is false? Is Feng Jinsong's safe death fake? Is it true that the Mu family manipulated power and tried to rebel? ”

A deafening questioning voice struck Mu Mo's heart. Yes, there are some things that he can't choose if he wants, and there are things that he can't push if he wants. As the only son of the Mu family, Mu Mo and the Mu family share glory and disgrace, but now he has no other choice but to obey?

Mu Mo looked up to the sky and sighed, and a helpless tear flowed from the corner of his eye. Even if his heart is not here, even if he has many grievances in his heart, in the end he will only give in to reality and bow to reality.

Mu Cong looked at his son and shook his head helplessly. In the end, the words left for Mu Mo were only: "Prepare well, after the national funeral, it will be the succession ceremony." ”

Feng Jinsong's funeral was nothing special, because of Mu Cong's relationship, the three princes did not return to Beijing, and finally presided over the funeral and became Mu Mo. Although the Ministry of Rites prepares the funeral in accordance with the etiquette of the state funeral, because the treasury of the Qiang State is now empty, the Ministry of Rites considers that it will be the succession ceremony of the new emperor soon, so all the places that can be deducted are deducted. Although everyone knows about this nondescript national funeral, no one has come forward to say anything.

On the contrary, when Mu Mo was about to inherit the throne, Yun Daoxu suddenly stood up and said that he would prepare to withdraw from the Qiang State with the forces of the Daoxu Sect, and this decision was naturally refuted by Mu Cong. Although he was more or less suspicious of the Fengling Tower, who was only famous and had never seen him, after all, he was a thief, and Mu Cong was worried that he would betray himself after Yundaoxu left, so he was very resolute in this matter.

There are two main reasons why Yun Daoxu wants to leave the Qiang Kingdom, the first one is naturally because Mu Cong's ambition is too big, although he Yun Daoxu helped the Mu family seize the throne this time, but who can guarantee that Mu Cong or Mu Mo will not become the second Feng Jinsong to take revenge on him? The second reason is that I still can't figure it out when I think of Layun Daoxu. This is naturally the cause of Feng Jinsong's death. Yun Dao Hui can now be sure that the person behind the fight for the taste of the extreme dispersion back then was not Feng Jinsong, and Feng Jinsong only cleared the obstacle of the Yun family with the help of that person's little power, and who really did it to the Yun family, Yun Dao Hui has not yet found out. Whether it was Fengling Tower or a more powerful enemy, Yundaoxu didn't know. But the more dangerous the enemy, the deeper the hidden, so many years of Cloud Dao Ruins only now found out that something was wrong, you can imagine how powerful the person behind it is.

Mu Mo didn't care about whether Yundao Ruins left or stayed, the only thing he cared about now was the whereabouts of Yunyan. Weaving has not come back with news after going out for so long, whether it is because he has not found Yunyan or the two of them are on the way back together. Mu Mo found Yun Dao Xu that night to ask about Yun Yan's whereabouts, he thought that the Dao Rui Sect in Yun Dao Xu's hands should not be unaware of such a wide distribution, but Yun Dao Xu's answer to him was: "I don't have Yun Yan's whereabouts now, if Your Majesty wants to know where Yun Yan went, you might as well ask your father!" ”
