But as the lord of the country, he had to play this scene on, there were so many important ministers around him, he couldn't let them see the jokes of the lord of the country!

"It's worthy of being a lonely child who grew up, and the Hades King is still so tough. At this point, it seems that Hades has other plans? ”

Since Tuoba Jiuxiao mentioned the rivers and mountains of Daegu, he came prepared, why didn't he listen to his plan first and then make a decision?

Who knew that Tuoba Jiuxiao turned the question back again: "It depends on the meaning of the lord of the country, if the lord of the country can hand over the mother and daughter, the minister will definitely give the Daegu rivers and mountains to the hand." If you can't, that's a different matter. ”

Of course he knew that Mu Guxiong couldn't hand it over.

If he can hand it over, why should he be so unconfident? Why don't you just bring Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter out to see him, which can stimulate his nerves even more? A qiē can only show that Lin Ling'er is not in the hands of Mu Guxiong, and Mu Guxiong has given up the so-called family affection for the sake of Daegu, and even does everything.

Now how fortunate he is that Daegu Jiangshan is in his hands, so that he has a bargaining chip to negotiate with Mu Guxiong, if not, can he only sit back and wait for others to slaughter?

Sure enough, Mu Guxiong immediately turned his face when he heard his conditions, as the king of a country, it was really shameless to be threatened like this.

He pointed at Tuoba Jiuxiao, and his eyes became dark as ink: "Tuoba Jiuxiao, you ungrateful villain, Lone lent you half of Wani's troops to take revenge, is this how you repay Lone?" ”

Mu Guxiong originally drew a circle for Tuoba Jiuxiao, but he didn't expect that he fell in the end, and he had to bypass Lin Ling'er and pull out a high-sounding question.

Tuoba Jiuxiao's face did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "The lord of the country, the minister is grateful for the lord's nurturing grace, this kindness, the minister will repay it, but not the minister's wife and daughter." Is it just simple revenge for the lord of the country to take revenge by borrowing the military strength of his ministers? How dare the lord say that he has never coveted the country of Daegu? Dare to say that there has never been the idea of taking advantage of the minister? ”

His words pierced Mu Guxiong's mind, making Mu Guxiong's face even more ugly, "It's just that everyone takes what they need, why do you want to say this matter so high-sounding?" ”

Mu Guxiong didn't expect that Tuoba Jiuxiao didn't care much about Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter, and he didn't expect that this grandson, who had a bad temper and a generous personality, could actually say such disobedient words, it seems that a person's ability really can't be too strong, the stronger he is, the more confident he is to speak, and the more bold and reckless he is!

The muscles of his face twitched twice, the weather was sweltering, and his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

His fists clenched the reins, he was a little breathless, and sneered: "Lone underestimated you." ”

Glancing at Tuoba Jiuxiao's back, yesterday it was clear that he only brought a few dozen people back, but today he has become countless soldiers and horses, he really underestimated him, it seems that he came prepared, and it is boring to talk too much to each other, "Let's be open and honest, if you have anything to say, the Hades King will say it directly." ”

A sly look flashed in Tuoba Jiuxiao's eyes: "In this case, I have thanked the lord of the country." The minister only asks for one thing, hand over Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter, and as for the conditions, follow the lord of the country. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to another army of Mu Guxiong, didn't he care about the mother and daughter? How did you go around and back again?

At this point, Mu Guxiong has no room for repentance, he doesn't want to lose Daegu Jiangshan, let alone be defeated by a young person in front of the ministers, so he can only respond hard: "Okay, if Gu hands over Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter, then according to what you said, Gu wants you to give Daegu Jiangshan away, and you, from now on, you will take off this armor, take off your prince, and return to the world, you will not be an official in this life and this life, can you agree?" ”

Tuoba Jiuxiao didn't think about it and agreed: "A word is a certainty." Term? ”

"Within three days."

"Okay, you don't have any jokes."

The ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other, and after the saber rattling, it should be incompatible.

Tuoba Jiuxiao didn't know what Mu Guxiong's mood was at the moment, he only knew that his heart was not so comfortable, and his mind replayed Mu Guxiong's kindness to him since he was a child, and all kinds of admonitions to him, every time he came back from a victory, this grandfather would personally go out of the city to greet him, and every time he would give him more rewards than the last time.

But this time, it should be the last time.

Tuoba Jiuxiao did not enter the city, let alone enter the palace, and finally he watched Mu Guxiong and his party return, and then closed the city gate, leaving him with only two heavy wooden doors.

Only Mu Tianning turned his head after entering the city gate, and the sadness and reluctance in his eyes pierced his heart.

"Lord Wang, this time my subordinates can be regarded as having seen the monarch of the country, haha...... The subordinates really want to see how he will hand over the master of Ling'er and the little county lord at that time. ”

Looking at the two closed gates, Murray laughed mockingly.

Maybe only Tuoba Jiuxiao still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, knowing that it is impossible, but he can't suppress such thoughts, hoping that Lin Ling'er is really in Mu Guxiong's hands, and hoping that he can really hand over their mother and daughter after three days.

"Return to camp and stay stationed."

He gave the order indifferently, then turned the horse's head, thought about it and then instructed Murray, "Tonight, ask Mu Tianning to go to the royal forest farm for a while." Sue him, it's just the two of us. ”

Murray hesitated and finally responded, with their ability to die, it was naturally not a problem to inform Mu Tianning of this matter, but didn't the Hades King already plan to be an enemy of the lord, why did he still see the crown prince?

After going back, Tuoba Jiuxiao has been catching up on sleep, and he has been exhausted from the non-stop journey for several days.

It's just that he doesn't sleep well, Ling'er's whereabouts are still unknown, and now he is most curious about one thing, who told the lord of the country the secret of Ling'er's disguised marriage? There are very few people who know about this matter, Wu Yong, Mu Yu and others have always been by his side, it is impossible and there is no reason to betray him, except for them, few people know about it, Nangong Jue, Yun Chengcheng, and Amoli...... If you have to pursue it, only Amory is the most likely, which is also in line with what he did later, is it really him?

The clouds of the day did not bring a pleasant rain, but at night, the sky became clear, and the moon hung high and the stars shone in the dark blue night sky.

The large grassland outside the royal forest farm danced in the moonlight, Tuoba Jiuxiao was dressed in a silver robe, standing with his back straight beside the black wind, and his silver hair flashed with a cold brilliance, which couldn't help but add a little coolness to such a night.

There was a slight sound of footsteps approaching behind him, but he didn't look back, until the footsteps stepped across the grass and approached him, he smiled lightly: "Do you really dare to come?" ”

Looking at this familiar back, resolute and arrogant, Mu Tianning actually had an urge to cry, thinking back to what Tuoba Jiuxiao had experienced, he really felt sorry for him.

"Brother Righteousness!"

He did not call himself the crown prince, but summoned the role that he longed for the most, and they were still righteous brothers who used to talk about everything.

Wouldn't these two words also shake Tuoba Jiuxiao's heart?

He turned around, and Mu Tianning in front of him was wearing a blue shirt, still the sunny boy he grew up with, but now the young man's face was more calm, his heart was heavy, and his eyes looked at him with even sympathy.

Whether he can come tonight, in fact, Tuoba Jiuxiao is only fifty percent sure, after all, in this sensitive period, the closer Mu Tianning gets to him, the more dangerous it is, he can kidnap him in exchange for Ling'er's mother and daughter, or threaten Mu Guxiong.

But the fact that he came, and alone, was a sign of great trust in him, just as he had in the past.

Especially the title of "righteous brother", in fact, it is no longer applicable to them, in terms of family affection, one of them is an uncle, the other is a nephew, only when it comes to feelings, they can be called brothers.

He patted Mu Tianning's shoulder, conveying feelings in his strength, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and continued to look into the distance.

"Brother Yi, thank you for trusting me and not entering the palace."

Mu Tianning said in a low voice, "Actually, my father plans to lure you into the palace and capture you and then dispose of you separately, just like you said, he covets the Daegu rivers and mountains, and doesn't want it to fall into the hands of others, let alone use his army to become the beauty of others, I'm afraid this is the greed that all kings will have, right?" ”

In his words, he was explaining to Mu Guxiong, there is no way, whether he raised him or not, he is his father, this is a constant blood and family relationship, and he can't be unkind.

"I'm supposed to thank you."

Tuoba Jiuxiao glanced at him with a faint smile and continued, "Tianning, I just want to know if the lord of the country is lying today, Ling'er ......"

Speaking of Lin Ling'er, Mu Tianning was full of guilt and lowered his eyes: "Brother Yi, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Ling'er, she is not in the hands of the lord of the country, I'm sure." ”

Thinking of Lin Ling'er's disguised marriage, he was even more ashamed, "There is ...... I didn't know that Ling'er was the original princess of Hades, and I thought it was my brother-in-law who snatched love with a knife and wanted to snatch Ling'er away, but I didn't know that I was the third one. ”

No wonder the relationship between the righteous brother and Lin Ling'er is indestructible even if they stumble, it turns out that the fate between them has long been doomed.

Thinking of all the things at the beginning, Tuoba Jiuxiao just smiled: "I don't blame you, there are some things that can't be said, so you can't blame people for misunderstanding, it's Ling'er who is too naughty." ”

It's true that she is too naughty, if it weren't for her disguise and marriage, she wouldn't have caused such a big disaster, "Who told the lord of the country about Ling'er, do you know?" ”

Mu Tianning shook his head: "Brother Yi, I also heard about Ling'er's marriage on behalf of my father, and I didn't think it was credible at first, but Ling'er's escape made me have to believe it, if it wasn't for a weak heart, why did she run away?" But this matter is really strange, how did Ling'er know that her father was going to send someone to arrest her, otherwise how could she escape so easily? ”
