Although there were a few twists and turns at the beginning because of the relationship between Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, when Mu Qin and the others left Xiqi City, they hurried quite quickly.

After all, no one knew about the defeat of the Mu family's army, although it was not clear why Mu Qin chose this time to return to Beijing, but no one would deliberately block Mu Qin's trip. In addition, Mu Qin himself was a little like an arrow, so he naturally rushed to the vicinity of Yangchao County two or three days later, and was welcomed to the county seat by Song Shi.

Because compared with those counties of Xiqi County, which have not yet fully recovered, due to the support of the official family and even the transportation of personnel and property, Yangchao County has quickly regained its vitality.

Therefore, as long as they plan to go to the capital of Beiyue and go to the territory of Beiyue, almost everyone will stay in Yangchao County for a while, otherwise not to mention what it means to be in a hurry and not rest, it is a bit too eye-catching to leave in such a hurry.

As for why Song Shi or the official eunuch family chose Yangchao County, which was closer to the Beiyue Kingdom than to the Great Liang Kingdom, as a stronghold? The reason is also very simple.

That is, although the official eunuch family speculated that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager Tulian intended to compete for the throne, and even learned some of the plans of the third largest empire in the continent. However, because it is only a civilian-official group, even with the outlier of Song Shi, the idea of the official eunuch family is just to follow in Song Shi's footsteps to expand the power of the official eunuch family to the third largest empire on the mainland in the future.

Therefore, they don't dare to be greedy for merit, and there is no basis for greed, and the official eunuch family is only ready to help Song Shi gain a firm foothold in Xiqi County first, and it is enough to enter the Great Liang Kingdom as soon as possible in the future.

After all, if there is really a war with the Great Liang State and even the Qin Emperor Tulang in the future, Xiqi County can be said to be the closest place to the front line.

It's just entertaining Mu Qin. And after promising to help Mu Qin and his party prepare all kinds of supplies and utensils for the future trip, looking at Lin Song, the master of the Dongjun Royal Mansion who came to visit him alone in private, Song Shi was a little suspicious: "Master Lin is rushing to find the general now, does the prince have any explanation for the general?" ”

It's no wonder that Song Shi will be suspicious.

Because it is not surprising that Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, will send people to the capital of Beiyue Kingdom, it is indeed a little incomprehensible that Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, will choose to let Lin Song and Cong Ji go with Mu Qin. After all, with Mu Qin's identity, no matter what Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, wants Lin Song and Cong Ji to do, I'm afraid he can't avoid anyone's eyes and ears at all.

And he is a master himself, Lin Song naturally knows what Song Shi is thinking, but he also said slowly: "Let General Song worry?" But does General Song know that not only was the Mu family's army defeated in Xian and Benzhou, but Yuzhou Bo was also poisoned? ”

"Defeated? Poisoning? Could it be that this is the reason why the eldest prince is in a hurry to return to the capital? But why the capital? ”

Although I don't know what defeat and poison are yet. It is even more strange that Mu Yan and Mu Jiajun will also suffer defeat and poison injuries. But after quickly understanding why Mu Qin suddenly returned to Beijing, Song Shi also suddenly realized.

Because just as Song Shi stayed in Xiqi County on behalf of the official family, although Mu Qin was forced to come to Xiqi County because of Mrs. Taici. But there is also the task of expanding the power of the emperor of Beiyue, and Song Shike does not believe that Mu Qin will return to the capital of Beiyue without sufficient reason.

Nodding. Because he didn't hide Song Shi's thoughts in the first place. Lin Song naturally told what happened one by one and said, "...... General Song. That's the way it is, I don't know what General Song plans to do......"

"How? What does Master Lin mean by this? ”

“…… It's very simple, what the prince means. General Song can choose to watch the eldest prince return to Yuzhou and do nothing, or ......"

Or is it?

didn't expect Lin Song to say such a thing, and Song Shi also showed a strange look on his face for the first time.

Because Song Shi didn't expect that Mu Jiajun would suffer such a fiasco in Xian and Ben Prefectures, but before Song Shi could sympathize with Mu Jiajun, Lin Song actually came to hint that Song Shi could find an opportunity to attack Mu Qin. Not to mention whether Song Shi and the official eunuch family can get enough benefits from it, Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, really looks down on them too much!

After all, the official eunuch family is not an ordinary person, so how can they care about temporary gains and losses.

But he was the master of the Dongjun Palace, and Lin Song could naturally see some clues from the changes in Song Shi's expression, and then said with a kind of nonchalance: "General Song, don't get me wrong, the prince didn't say that he wanted General Song to do something specific to the eldest prince." It's just that from the position of the official eunuch family, General Song can completely seek more benefits for the official eunuch family from the eldest prince, just look at what the eldest prince intends to do. ”

“…… What do you do? ”

For ordinary people, they may only focus on the last sentence to seek more benefits, but the official family is a profound civilian-official group, and Song Shi immediately understood the real hint in Lin Song's so-called explanation.

After all, interests belong to interests, and what interests are greater than the benefits that a person's life and death can bring.

What's more, Lin Song also made it clear what he would do, which also showed that the Dongjun Mansion had indeed reserved Song Shi and the official family to prepare for various unfavorable actions against Mu Qin.

But there was no need to hide the intentions of the Dongjun Palace, so Lin Song nodded and said: "That's right, although my prince has no grievances with the eldest prince, if he can drag Tianyingmen into the water with this, my prince doesn't care about doing anything." So what General Song wants to do, although he can think about it himself, it doesn't matter if he even reveals the attitude of the prince to the eldest prince. ”

"Master Lin laughed."

It didn't matter what was revealed to Mu Qin, Song Shi immediately realized something in his heart.

Because this is not so much that the Dongjun Wangfu came to Mu Qin, but that it was to come to Song Shi and the official eunuch family, and the purpose of Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, was to use this to inflict himself on the official eunuch family, and seek cooperation with the official eunuch family in a certain way, etc.

After all, even if Song Shi knew about the grievances between Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, and Tianyingmen, but only with the strength and ability of the Dongjun Palace, not to mention Song Shi and the official family, most people knew that the Dongjun Wangfu really wanted to deal with Tianyingmen, and it would definitely be an egg hitting a stone.

Therefore, since there is no hope of defeating Tianyingmen alone, and there is no way to hide the hatred with Tianyingmen, then whether it is open or secret, Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, is bound to win some allies for himself.

Therefore, it is small whether Song Shi will earn benefits from Mu Qin for the official eunuch family, and it is true that the Dongjun Royal Mansion will use this to extend an olive branch that is not an olive branch to the official eunuch family.

It's just that although Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun, had a good idea, thinking about the promise made by Tianyingmen to the official eunuch family, Song Shi knew that he could not promise Lin Song anything on behalf of the eunuch family. Even fortunately, Song Shi did not have Tianyingmen's disciples around him, and even Tianyingmen did not have such requirements for Song Shi and the official eunuch family, so Song Shicai did not have to worry about whether to expose Jia Yuan, the king of Dongjun.
