/p> "More than a month!? King Han put down the rebellion in Yuezhou? Mu Sheng sat on a mahogany chair, his eyes full of confusion. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

In front of him stood a military general in a red robe, who clenched his fists and said, "It's true." The list of the capital division will be posted soon! Yuezhou Dongshan just came back with good news, the Han Wang army beheaded more than 500 levels, arrested more than 20 murderers and thieves, and Keri returned to Yunnan Fucheng. ”

The red-robed military general paused and said in a deep voice: "It is reported that the King of Han has not been used for more than a month, and he is still drinking and having fun in Qujing Mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will have ......more than half a month after arriving in Yuezhou."

Mu Sheng said: "The mountains in the east mountains of Yuezhou are high and dense, the roads are difficult to travel, and the situation in Zhuzhai is complicated. Even if the king of Han had more than 10,000 horses, how could he find out the local chaos? ”

The military general hugged his fists and said: "King Han found a local Han man named Liu Tai. ”

"Liu Tai?" Mu Sheng looked dazed.

The military general nodded and said: "There is this person in the old file of the Dusi, and he has also reported to the Han Palace; But these are all routine official duties, so Liu Tai has not heard from him for ten years, and no one in the capital department cares about this person.

That Liu Tai did the Tusi of Yuezhou, followed Long Hai and Ah Zi two Yuezhou Tuzhizhou, and was found by the King of Han out of nowhere.

The King of Han is not at all like the rumored clan that causes trouble. As soon as he arrived in Yuezhou, he did things neatly and found Liu Tai first; and used Liu Tai to get Lu Ning, the widow of Ah Zi...... No one knew that Tuzhizhou Azi still had a posthumous son! The last general also did not know whether the identity of that Lu Ning was conclusive.

Although Ah Zi was destroyed more than ten years ago, their family has deep roots, and one of them, the Sha family, is the largest clan in Yuezhou. After the king of Han attracted Liu Tai, Lu Ning and others, he joined forces with the Yi people, let the Yi people lead the way, and easily destroyed several villages.

Then the king of Han ignored the 3721 and forced the captured Yi people to confess to the crimes of looting the post road and killing the officials.

Then, the king of Han set up a toast in Shuicheng, Yuezhou, and ordered Lu Ning to be the leader of the toast, assisted by Liu Tai and others. He also left 5,000 soldiers from all over the country in Yuezhou and set up Yuezhou Guard; and appointed a man named Ma Peng to temporarily serve as the commander of the Yuezhou Guard...... Yuezhou Suiping. ”

"Okay." Mu Sheng suppressed the initial shock, and his expression gradually calmed down, "It is a good thing for Yunnan that the King of Han quelled the rebellion of the natives. It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and it was a bit unexpected. ”

The military general echoed: "No one thought of it." We all thought that the King of Han would use force to do it......"

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I have long found out that King Han has never been like that...... A man named Ma Peng is the guard general of the Han Palace? ”

The military general immediately replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, no." According to the official document received by the Du Division, Ma Peng was a Han from Yuezhou and led the Yi people, and he made many military exploits in this battle, so he was promoted by the King of Han. ”

Mu Sheng muttered: "In this way, although Ma Peng is temporarily in command at this time, he may really be appointed as the commander of Yuezhou Wei in the future." ”

The military general hugged his fists and said: "What the Hou Ye said is extremely true, Ma Peng is not a general of the Han King, and he has military exploits, I am afraid that the court will continue to use it." ”

At this time, Mu Sheng waved his hand.

The military general immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will retire first." ”

Mu Sheng sat alone on a chair in the study. After a long time, he took out a piece of letter paper from his bosom and looked at it, and suddenly crumpled it in annoyance. But after a moment he reopened the letter, smoothed it out, folded it and put it in his pocket, and got up from his chair. He came to the inner house, walked into the room of the old lady Geng, and saw several maids kneeling on the ground and pinching the old lady's legs. Mu Sheng waved his hand, and the maids stood up and went out as a salute.

"Sheng'er, have you encountered a problem?" The old lady looked up at Mu Sheng's face.

Mu Sheng handed over the crumpled letter in his arms with both hands. The old lady said again: "The old man's eyes are not good, Sheng'er will miss it." ”

Mu Sheng had to get closer, and read: "The household department gave Hu Hu a secret report in the matter, and Geng Hao, the grandson of the Marquis of Changxing, confessed......"

By the time he finished reading, the old lady's expression had already changed. She took the letter, placed it far away, and looked at it again with empty eyes, looking very struggling.

"Ping An is really not hidden by his son, there is a conspiracy in it!" Mu Sheng said in a deep voice beside him.

The old lady raised her head and said, "Who gave you the letter?" ”

"He ......" Mu Sheng whispered a word.

The old lady sighed "sigh", and after a while she spoke: "Although the Geng family is Sheng'er's maternal uncle's family, but now, the old body can't blame you, what should Sheng'er make up your mind." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Please rest assured, my son will not touch my cousin's house; At such times, if the son makes any movement, he will appear to be weak-hearted and sit down to confirm the crime of harboring peace! But ......"

Mu Sheng then frowned and said: "My son has already been benevolent and righteous, and now it is difficult to protect himself, if he can't protect the Geng family anymore, everyone can't blame his son!" ”

The old lady sighed again, and after a long silence, she said again: "Is it difficult to protect yourself? ”

Mu Sheng nodded vigorously: "There is one more thing, the King of Han has put down the rebellion of the Yi tribe in Yuezhou, and it only took more than a month. Now the Mu family is becoming less and less useful in the eyes of the imperial court, and they cannot be trusted, and the situation is very bad! If there is another accident, the foundation of my father's difficult business in Yunnan will be destroyed in the hands of the unscrupulous son......"

The old lady's hands were trembling like dead trees, and she kept counting the Buddhist beads in her hands, and there were words in her mouth, but she couldn't hear what the words were.

"Who?!" Mu Sheng suddenly let out a deep sigh.

At this time, his eldest daughter Mu Zhen came out from behind the incense case, buried her head and said, "My daughter wants to come to accompany her grandmother......"

Mu Sheng saw that it was her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, did Cousin Geng Hao really betray our family?" Mu Zhen asked in a low voice.

Mu Sheng's expression became very stern, and he said, "Can Hu Hui's secret report be fake?" ”

"Will Hu Hu collude with King Han and wronged his cousin?" Mu Zhen said cautiously.

Mu Sheng frowned and said: "It is very likely that Hu Hu colluded with the King of Han and wanted to harm the Mu family together, but Hu Hu will never wronged Geng Hao, that is a big crime of bullying the king!" Don't worry about that Geng Hao in the future. At this time and then, the previous marriage contract is now impossible. ”

The old lady spoke: "Zhen'er is a sensible girl, don't worry about her. ”

Mu Zhen's face was pale, and she only bowed on her knees, "Grandmother, Daddy, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to accompany Grandmother later." ”

Mu Sheng nodded.

……

"Good news! Good news...... Yuezhou victory! There was a shout from the officials in the streets, and every time they shouted, they struck the gong with a bang.

The gong sounded very loudly, and Shen Xu also heard it in the study. Originally, the mansion was very quiet, but suddenly she was disturbed, and the next word she wrote was a little crooked, and she immediately frowned slightly.

Then a middle-aged woman walked to the door, stood there with her hands in front of her, bent over. Shen Xu turned his head to look at it and saw that it was her close attendant. It was a middle-aged woman, with a full forehead, a little high cheekbones, and a little acne scars on the skin on her face, but her body was very slim.

Shen Xu sighed and nodded slightly at the woman.

The woman walked in and whispered, "The official servants are beating the gong and shouting that the king of Han has won a great victory in Yuezhou. ”

"So fast?" Shen Xu's face suddenly showed surprise.

The woman said, "Yes." Or, the slave and maid sent someone to the capital to inquire? ”

Shen Xu didn't answer, she suddenly got a little distracted, and suddenly thought of the bet she made the previous month, the bet she made with Zhu Gaoxu...... Shen Xu's face immediately turned red, and suddenly even what happened in the study of the Han Wang's Mansion and those trivial fragments suddenly came to mind.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip gently, her legs under the table couldn't help but be together, and the strength in her hand seemed to be small, so she put the hair in her hand on the inkstone.

After a while, Shen Xu realized that the middle-aged woman was standing next to her, she quickly took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay." ”

The woman quietly glanced at Shen Xu with curious eyes, bowed and retreated.

Shen Xu was very uncomfortable, so he lowered his face and said, "By the way, you don't want anyone to look for me, you have to find an excuse to push it down!" Like that Zhao Gongzi last night, what are you doing so late? ”

The woman hurriedly bent down and said, "The slave knows that she is wrong...... However, Zhao Gongzi's father was the right senator of the Yunnan political envoy, so the slave did not dare to refuse without authorization. ”

"What about the right senator? It's dark, what does he mean? Shen Xu sneered, and gently raised his narrow sleeves and waved.

"Yes." The woman answered and gently exited the study.

A few months after the Yunnan political envoy Si Yousenate took office, Zhao Gongzi must have heard the rumors and ran to the Shen Mansion at night.

Shen Xu sighed to himself, there are not many such things, and there have been inexplicable unknown people who have come to the door...... When she encounters such a thing, she is disgusted every time; Sometimes she even feels that she has long been pure-hearted.

At this time, her heart was in a mess, and she glanced at the crooked word on the paper, then picked up the hair again and scribbled a few on the paper.

Shen Xu shook his head, and said in his heart: I made a promise, but I didn't dare to offend him, is there still a choice?

This time it's different. Last time she was forced, even if she was angry, there was nothing she could do; This time, you want to take the initiative to give you a hug? She thought of her identity as a widow of the Shen family, and a faint sense of humiliation suddenly enveloped her heart.

However, fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu is the person who can make her look up. It is always much better to be forced by a powerful person.

…… Shen Xu didn't sleep well all night, and as soon as she got up the next morning, she asked her attendant about the news of Yuezhou. Somehow, she suddenly blurted out, "When will King Han return to Yunnan Mansion?" ”

But the woman shook her head and said, "The slave has not heard of this. ”

Shen Xu said in a casual tone: "You can find someone to ask again." ”

The woman prayed, "Yes." ”

Shen Xu sat in front of the dresser, looking at his face in the bronze mirror, and suddenly had a subtle feeling that he couldn't deceive himself...... She seemed to be looking forward to Zhu Gaoxu's return to the city, and her mood was even a little impetuous and urgent.
