Chapter 22: Black and White World

There is still a trace of lingering fragrance in the fallen flowers in the deep garden, and the grass color is still as bright as before, and the spring is gone inadvertently. The catkins outside the window fluttered into the yards of every house, the spring white willows and green, the bridges and corridors met, it seems that every yesterday will not be remembered, and every tomorrow someone will look forward to it.

Mu Ruoying slept until noon and woke up, but she was not as lucky as most people in the world yesterday and today, and the scheming and scheming shrouded her day by day, and she couldn't escape, so she could only face the blood. She dresses up decently, she actually only likes to wear some elegant robes, but recently getting along with those enlightened old things, she still shows some grace to show that she is not the weak party.

"Master, are you going to Chu Mansion in this dress today?"

Although Ling'er has been with her for a short time, she usually talks less and listens more, and her ability to observe words and colors is completely learned, and she is quite clever, if she can't turn a corner occasionally, she won't ask Mu Ruoying more than half a sentence, and only those who can survive the curiosity will understand the rapid changes in the situation.

"Not quite, today is a day of rushing."

Mu Ruoying packed up, and took Ling'er to visit several Gaomen mansions, the first one was the Yang Mansion, Yang Kang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and inquired privately in the past few days, sure enough, Yang Kang not only had some contact with the countries of the Western Regions, but he also suppressed the news that the Dongying pirates oppressed the people, resulting in five years, the emperor was at ease, immersed in the dream of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and refused to wake up. But it was such a talent that made Mu Ruoying feel that this deal would be extremely easy to negotiate.

"The old minister didn't know that the lord of Rong'an was coming, and he was disappointed."

Mu Ruoying had been waiting for this waiter in the lobby for nearly an hour, and it was really disgusting that he was pretending to be in such a hurry now. Mu Ruoying picked up the third cup of tea made by the girl in the house, drank it to the bottom, raised the cup above her head, and slammed it on the hanging porcelain floor tiles.

"Lord Yang really doesn't know the way of hospitality, doesn't he know the way of being an official? It stands to reason that adults should make a big gift with me, Ruoying is still young, and the principle of respecting elders also understands, how did you get to Lord Yang to even look at the basic etiquette, Lord Yang should sit on my left side. ”

Mu Ruoying, in line with the etiquette of being a guest and following the host, will inevitably settle down in the future, sitting on the right seat of the upper seat in the main hall, which should be etiquette, and those with lower official positions should ask Mu Ruoying's opinion before taking a seat. That adult is polite on the surface, but in fact, he will never regard a female streamer as his superior.

"I didn't know why I was going to bow to a young tooth."

Finally I couldn't hold it back, Yang Kang's face was full of expressions that you can endure as a woman. Yes, how could the court's silver be enough for his father and son to squander it so much, if it weren't for the tribute from other countries and the fat of the people, how could this Yang Kang be so tough now?

"My lord, I am a young child who still knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can you not know it? Or do you really not fall into the Yellow River and do not shed tears? I heard that there are more grapes and lychees from the Western Regions in the Lord's Mansion, and I am in charge of the tribute treasures of the palace world, and I have really not seen many rare fruits, which are worthy of the merchant to take the risk of losing money to give to the Lord. ”

Mu Ruoying smiled at the corner of her mouth, seeing Yang Kang's look of disbelief, but she was sure that Mu Ruoying couldn't come up with any evidence, so she looked fearless, Mu Ruoying really felt a little funny, she really couldn't come up with any evidence, but Yang Kang also thought that women were too stupid.

"Have you ever heard of the most poisonous woman's heart? I don't have any evidence to sue Yang Kang, the emperor's servant, of colluding with the inside and outside, but I sent someone to send a letter to the kings of the Western Regions for 800 miles. Adults guess... Will the princes of all parties transfer gold and silver by adults next? ”

"You... I could have written a letter to clarify these nonsensical things. If you really have any evidence, the lord of the country and the Xiaguan Dali Temple can meet, the lord of the country is uninvited but so arrogant, only then do you not know the etiquette and upbringing of the daughter's family. Come on, send off!"

"Three days later, Jingxiu Pavilion, I welcome your arrival. I heard that your son likes that restaurant, why don't you go and see it for yourself. ”

After Mu Ruoying walked out of the Yang Mansion, she and Ling'er walked around the suburbs of Beijing for a while, Mu Ruoying took her to the teahouse where she and her mother depended on each other, Ling'er's injury actually did not recover for a moment, but she was escaping from reality, Mu's purchase she has always been*, but she will never come to this place, remembering the happy life when she was in trouble with her mother.

"Ling'er, will your heart recover for a moment when you revisit the old place?"

After Mu Ruoying let Ling'er take over the Mu Mansion, she sent someone to the mass grave to look for a few days and nights, and found the body of Ling'er's mother, she bought the teahouse and buried Ling'er's mother here, in fact, the cemetery is for the living to be nostalgic, and the dead will not have any feelings, Mu Ruoying always hopes that the girl can be happier than herself.

"Miss, Ling'er doesn't hurt."

That stupid girl looked at her mother's grave and cried so much that she couldn't stand, but she still had a hard mouth, Mu Ruoying brought her here today to ask her if she still had the courage to participate in future disputes.

"Ling'er, I made an agreement with Chu Lingran, in the future, Chu Lingran will fight for this world, my life will be linked to him, you are my person, I will lose one day, your life will not be saved, I can let you go today, are you willing?"

Mu Ruoying said this sincerely, she really didn't want to be alone if she was defeated after all, she shouldn't ruin a girl's life for her own purposes.

"Miss, Ling'er has nowhere to go, life is not important, Ling'er always believes that Miss will win, if Miss doesn't win in the end, Ling'er is willing."

Mu Ruoying is indeed in this world, if you say that the people who believe and trust the most nowadays are Ling'er and Aunt Feng Kite, since this is the case, even if she is desperate in the future, she will protect their trust.

"Ling'er, come with me to Chu Mansion again. Let's take a look at the real majesty of the man who can shake the world. ”

Mu Ruoying looked at Ling'er's somewhat embarrassed expression and understood that this girl was in her heart, she was still angry with Qingfeng, the confused general who didn't understand the amorous feelings, and Qingfeng might be able to capture the enemy on the battlefield, but if she really fell in love with Ling'er in the future, this girl would have enough for him.

Mu Ruoying went to Jingxiu Pavilion and took Martuo away, if the strategy of Dongying thieves is mentioned, those who have witnessed it will be more convincing. Mu Ruoying took Martuo all the way, only saying that he was a person who could calm the disaster of the war for him, if there was only one person in this world who could do it, it must be him.

"The general was playing chess with General Xian Xiaoji in the main court, and he said in the morning that you were coming, and laid out some pastries, and you sat here for a while."

As soon as Mu Ruoying entered the door, he felt that there were more fireworks in the house, it turned out to be the former general Hong Shunyao, his name was known in the whole country, according to legend, every battle he fought was not just to win the opponent so simple, he would select the best cavalry under his subordinates in a battle, and over time, each of the cavalry charging into battle had his general wisdom and planning. Chu Lingran is the most outstanding subordinate who came out of this general's command, Hong Shunyao took Chu Lingran with him, experienced every war, discussed every inch of the art of war, and cultivated General Chu, who is feared by people today. Chu Lingran must have been discussing the battle of Dongying with that general, how to win, it seems that it is not easy to win the battle of Dongying.

"You missed a move today, it seems that you have something on your mind."

The old man with the white chess in his hand looked at the fairy wind bones from afar, standing in this world, playing this game of chess with him, but he could solve three thousand troubles. I never thought that General Hong, who was on the battlefield, was such a kind-eyed old man, and the smell of bloodthirsty gunpowder was not felt in him at all, General Hong had retired from the rivers and lakes since Chu Lingran took the throne, and the imperial court had searched for his traces among the people several times, but found nothing, only Chu Lingran could still have contact with him.

"It's the master's chess skills that are unparalleled in the world, and the apprentice is convinced."

Chu Lingran has been thinking about the matter with Mu Ruoying last night, and the overall situation has been decided as soon as the son is down, and he can usually be on a par with the master on weekdays, but today's chess is really unbearable for him. Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his master, he told the purpose of inviting him to the house today.

"Today, the East China Sea pirates are rampant, and I have fought mostly land battles with your master, if you don't have a grasp of the sea situation, you will never bother the master to run a special time."

General Hong touched his beard, frowned and looked at the magpies flying in the distance, Chu Lingran knew that whenever the master encountered any problems, he would definitely touch his beard.

"The sea tactics of the Dongying people are so good that they don't know where to go, plus they know the technology of the waterfront, and I live in the mountains, and no soldier has ever had battlefield experience at sea, which is really difficult to do."

Hong Shunyao's analysis is not wrong, He is located in the Central Plains, and the agricultural climate has inherent advantages, but the technology at sea must not be hand with the Dongying people. This is the recent civil and military sorrow of the Manchu Dynasty, and the emperor lost his temper and wanted to cut the official positions of the generals of all parties, but he still had nothing. Chu Lingran would definitely go to calm the disaster, but the current team in the past was just a death.

"Would you mind if I was a part of this paradise?"

Mu Ruoying sat in the main hall for a while, she couldn't stand the breeze looking at Ling'er's hot gaze, and Ling'er looked back at the past with hateful eyes, the atmosphere of the two was really more tense than Chu Lingran discussing the war, so she took Martuo to the place where Chu Lingran and Hong Shunyao were playing chess, thinking that even if they discussed the military situation, she would definitely participate in it, and... Maybe she has good advice.

Chu Lingran heard Mu Ruoying's voice behind him, but he didn't dare to look back at Mu Ruoying's eyes. He didn't know what kind of expression he should face Mu Ruoying. Affectionate? He himself felt false, and he also knew that Mu Ruoying would never believe it again. But he couldn't pretend to be fake, he did have Mu Ruoying in his heart. But he was also afraid to look back at Mu Ruoying, all he saw was her strange and calm eyes, just like treating a stranger, this woman is so careful when she entrusts her sincerity, but if she is hurt, how can she be willing to treat her sincerely?

"This..."

"It's better to be famous than to meet, and General Hong's demeanor has not diminished back then. Mu Ruoying, Rong An. ”

Mu Ruoying took the initiative to take the initiative to take a look with Hong Shunyao with respect for her elders, and when Mu Ruoying watched from a distance, she knew that Hong Shunyao was by no means a simple general, and his wisdom and strategy determined that he knew people's hearts and knew people's life experiences. Mu Ruoying knew that in front of this kind of person, any of her disguises would be pierced by those eyes that were accustomed to seeing people's hearts, and Mu Ruoying knew that General Hong appreciated people with courage and foresight, and would not act like those old ministers in the court.

"I've heard a little that the girl is the only undefeated existence in Wanfang."

"The outside world has a good reputation, but in the battle of Dongying, I may be able to help the two generals with something."

Mu Ruoying's eyes guided them to look in the direction of Martuo, Chu Lingran and Hong Shunyao were both a little ignorant of Fang Yun, looking at Mu Ruoying waiting for her later text. Mu Ruoying motioned for Marto come to the pavilion where he was playing chess, and Mu Ruoying lifted Marto's sleeves, showing the scars that Martuo had experienced. Chu Lingran looked at Marto's scimitar scar, which was only used by Dongying's thieves, and it was easy for pirates to equip and use. This man, a survivor of the disaster, escaped all the way to the capital.

Chu Lingran thought about the usefulness of Mu Ruoying's restaurant, and only then did he understand what Mu Ruoying was talking about. Mu Ruoying closed the Huazhifang and reorganized the Jingxiu Pavilion for the sake of intelligence from all over the world, and people who were confused often told the secrets that could be used and coerced the most, just like those old ministers who were in the court, they would work hard for Mu Ruoying. It's just that Mu Ruoying has not yet set foot in the military, and she doesn't know that the battlefield is dangerous, and Chu Lingran doesn't have much hope for her. However, Hong Shunyao seemed to be quite interested, whether this young woman in front of her was really as rumored by the outside world, unparalleled in the world, if it was, seeing the change in Chu Lingran's eyes after she came, Hong Shunyao knew in his heart all the thoughts of his apprentice about Mu Ruoying, if he was really worthy of Chu Lingran, in the future, the new dynasty would change, and Mu Ruoying would also be worthy of being the queen of a country.

"Oh? The old man is very curious, and the girl has a wonderful understanding. ”
