Although he didn't follow his mother and his younger brother, Mu Qin still had his father by his side.

Work together during the day and study together at night.

There is no need for Mu Yan to teach him specially, Mu Qin knows what his father is doing every day and what he is going to do. Mu Qin had never felt that he had such a close connection with his father, even if some of the things Mu Yan wanted to do made Mu Qin very frightened, Mu Qin still did not flinch.

In the study, two figures flashed in the bright candlelight, and a warm brazier was placed in the corner.

Not only did Mu Qin wear a scholar's outfit and take off his official uniform, but Mu Yan only wore a long-sleeved casual suit. Knowing that Mu Yan was thinking about why Yu Rong, the commander of Yuzhou, stayed in the Hot Spring Valley and why he harassed Xingcheng County, Mu Qin also wanted to share the burden for his father.

"Daddy, why did you say that Yu Rong personally led troops to harass Xingcheng County? Isn't he afraid that the court will convict him on this? Aren't you afraid that Li Ruixiang will take the opportunity to seize power in Yuzhou? ”。

Even though the troops that Yu Rong brought to the Hot Spring Valley were mainly elite heavy cavalry, they were still only 500 cavalry. Under the circumstance that it is inevitable that the lone army will go deeper, considering the situation in the rear of Yuzhou, not only Yu Rong's actions are quite reckless, but the follow-up development is also difficult to estimate.

Although Mu Qin's question was a little sudden, Mu Yan did not blame him for not concentrating on his studies, his eyes were still on the candlelight and said, "Daddy is not worried about this, but wonders why your mother has not heard from there." Although we don't know anything about Yu Rong's intentions, your mother shouldn't be in Xingcheng County! ”

"This, could it be that the news that my mother got is not suitable for fake hands."

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome." Regarding Mu Qin's judgment, Mu Yan frowned deeply.

There was a hesitation on his face, but Mu Qin didn't say anything.

Because although Jiao Yu and Mu Yan do not exchange news every day, the news connection between the two has never been broken. But Yu Rong had been in the Hot Spring Valley for several days, and even Mu Yan had received the corresponding news from Jiao Yu after this, but it was the real reason why Yu Rong went to the Hot Spring Valley and why he harassed Xingcheng County.

Is there any reason for Jiao Yu to refuse to pass on the news to Shenzhou City, is it really so strict that Jiao Yu doesn't dare to fake it?

"My lord, Mu Zhi is out asking to see you."

Just as Mu Qin was still thinking, an announcement suddenly came from outside the study. With an instant look of surprise on his face, Mu Yan said, "Let him in." ”

Entering the room, Mu Zhi didn't say anything to Mu Qin who was sitting at the table, but Mu Qin nodded excitedly at Mu Zhi, but he didn't dare to disturb Mu Zhi's business when he came to find Mu Yan. Because Mu Qin knew that unlike those Jiao family lineages who often stayed in the Zhizhou Mansion, the Mu family not only did not have any official positions in Shenzhou City, but even often had to help Mu Yan run errands outside.

Once you return to Shenzhou, something important must be happening.

"Mu Zhi, what's wrong, why are you coming back now." Mu Yan said with a steady expression, but the corners of his eyes inevitably showed a hint of suspicion.

"Lord Hui, Huiyin Mountain Hulu kidnapped Qin Cha and his party this morning, and beheaded Lord Meng Chang."

"Ahh

Hearing that Meng Chang was killed, when Mu Qin exclaimed at a loss, Mu Yan's expression froze slightly, and he said solemnly: "Did they still do it?" Why didn't you come and tell me earlier? ”

"Because they locked up a few of us before they attacked the Qincha team, this is Meng Chang's confession." Mu Zhi also had some unwillingness on his face.

After receiving Meng Chang's confession handed over by Mu Zhi, Mu Yan didn't rush to look at it, and continued to ask: "How many people have died in the Qincha team, and is there anything wrong with Xu Lin." ”

"Except for Meng Chang, there were no casualties in the entire Qincha team, they were just tied up on Huiyin Mountain." …,

Without waiting for Mu Yan to continue asking, Mu Zhi began to tell everything about how Yinshan Hulu attacked the Qincha team. Although Mu Yan's face had not changed much, Mu Qin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and he was even more disdainful.

When Mu Zhi's voice fell, Mu Qin was even more dissatisfied: "Uncle Zhi, are those Qincha really so shameless? And that Bai Lu Bai Tong sentence is also. ”

"Young Master, although Chen Dan's behavior of pretending to be stunned is indeed a little shameless, if you want to say that Bai Tongju took the initiative to lay down his weapon, it was also to cause unnecessary casualties. Because once they resist, it is likely to be the result of the annihilation of the entire army, and even the families of those Shenzhou soldiers will be shattered. ”

It's not just about explaining, it's about convincing through guò family relationships. Even though it was impossible for Mu Qin to know about Mu Yan's relationship with Huiyin Mountain Hulu for the time being, Mu Zhi still defended Bai Lu.

"This,...... But they can't surrender without a fight! ”

"It's courage to surrender without a fight, and they don't have to be enemies."

Without explaining to Mu Qin, Mu Yan began to open Meng Chang's confession and watch it carefully. But unlike the inadvertent at the beginning, after reading Meng Chang's confession, Mu Yan frowned and said, "Mu Zhi, do you think this confession is somewhat true." ”

"The subordinates don't know, but Hu Lao said that at least nine points are true, because in the shape of Shenzhou at that time, except for Yuwang Tuhao, no one can help Meng Chang."

Yuwang Tuhao?

When Mu Qin was surprised when he heard this, Mu Yan said again: "What did Hu Lao say when you asked you to report the news, did he say that he had any plans?" ”

Robbing and killing Qincha is not a trivial matter, even if Mu Yan has long been in contact with Hulu in Huiyin Mountain, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he can't let them go lightly.

Mu Zhi nodded and said, "Before his subordinates set off, Hu Lao had already given up Huiyin Mountain and took Mu Shi and them to Yuzhou. And Hu Lao also asked his subordinates to tell the lord that they were going to settle in Yuzhou for a period of time and wait for an opportunity to join Yu Rong's army. If you have any other instructions, you can contact them through Guò Mushi. ”

"Looks like they're going to take revenge!"

"Yes! Hu Lao said that only by joining Yu Rong's army will their revenge not affect adults, and this is also conducive to the confrontation between adults and Yu Rong. ”

As for why Hu Hansan took Mu Shi to Yuzhou together, Mu Yan knew very well.

Because as long as Mu Yan is willing to take in the Hulu of Huiyin Mountain, even if they join Yu Rong's army, revenge will not be successful, and Mu Yan will still have a way back. And their stay in Yu Rong's army can also provide all kinds of convenience for Mu Yan and Yu Rong's confrontation. But if they stay in Mu Yan's army now, not only will they be dragged down by Mu Yan and unable to take revenge, but once the revenge fails, there will be no place for Hulu in Huiyin Mountain.

※※※※※※

At night and during the day, the hot spring valley is shrouded in mist.

Since Zhao Lang took the light cavalry to Xingcheng County to carry out a harassment mission, Yu Rong began to enjoy the relaxation brought by the hot springs in the hot spring valley, as if he didn't care about what kind of results Zhao Lang could get in Xingcheng County.

Unlike Jiao Xuan, who was accompanied by a woman like Dandi, Yu Rong didn't bring any women with him when he came to the Hot Spring Valley this time. However, this does not affect Yu Rong's good mood. Because in addition to Dandi, who has a special identity, Yu Rong is not used to bringing any woman by his side.

Although Yu Rong didn't want to think about Dandi's affairs, Yu Rong had to pay attention to Dandi's impact on himself.

So every day when he soaked in the hot springs, Yu Rong had to check the information that Zhao Lang got back from Xingcheng County.

"My lord, this is the news that Zhao Lang sent back from Xingcheng County today."

Handing over the briefing to Yu Rong, who was half immersed in the hot spring, Liu Jin did not leave. Because Liu Jin knows that Yu Rong is not the kind of coach who likes to look ahead and look backwards. Whenever Yu Rong made a final decision, it was almost always sent out as soon as he got the news. No doubt, no confusion, this is Yu Rong's command style. …,

"My lord, it's not good."

While Liu Jin was waiting for Yu Rong's reply, Tie San suddenly rushed in from outside the hot spring tent with a shocked face.

In order to ensure safety, the outside of the hot spring pool dedicated to Yu Rong has long been surrounded by a thick cowhide curtain, not only is there a long-term guard outside the tent, but it is not easy for any enemy to break into the tent made of two layers of cooked cowhide.

When Yu Rong casually turned his face, Tie San immediately stopped in the distance of the hot spring and said loudly: "My lord, Shenzhou City has come to report that the imperial court was robbed in Huiyin Mountain, and Lord Meng died in battle. ”

"Show me it."

With Yu Rong's order, Liu Jin, who was standing outside the hot spring and waiting, also had a sinking face.

Since Yu Rong's goal was not Qincha, the existence of Qincha and his party hindered Yu Rong's actions in Xingcheng County. Therefore, after confirming that the Qincha team had indeed begun to return to Beijing, Yu Rong did not send scouts to continue to follow the Qincha team.

Keqincha's team was actually robbed at this time, not to mention what it means, I am afraid that the imperial court will link the matter with Yu Rong, who is still harassing Xingcheng County.

After carefully reading the letter from Tie San, Yu Rong said with a solemn face: "What? Only Meng Chang was killed, and the others were not injured at all? ”

"Yes, it is said that the entire army of the Qincha was wiped out under the attack of poisonous smoke."

Tie San continued to explain: "Although Shenzhou Mu Yan personally led an army of 10,000 to Huiyin Mountain to rescue the Qincha after receiving the letter, the Huiyin Mountain Hulu had abandoned the town and fled, and Mu Yan failed to capture a Huiyin Mountain Hulu, but only saved the Qincha team that had been hungry for two or three days. ”

"An army of ten thousand? Where is Perineum Hill located? Yu Rong said with a cold face.

Knowing what Yu Rong was worried about, Tie San said with a look of shame: "Huiyin Mountain is one day away from Shenzhou City, but it is three days away from Xingcheng County. Due to Mu Yan's swift action and secret information, our spies only got the news of Qincha's robbery after Qin Cha and his party were rescued back to Shenzhou. As for the whereabouts of Mu Yan's army, the spies are still in urgent search. ”

"Pass the order, and then set off for Yuzhou."

"Subordinates obey."

After listening to Tie San's reply, not only Yu Rongman's face changed, but Liu Jin was also frightened.

Because no matter whether Mu Yan will lead the army to attack or not, just the speed of the army led by Mu Yan and the secret information are more than enough, not to mention rushing to aid Xingcheng County, or directly attacking the Hot Spring Valley.

Now the whereabouts of Mu Yan's 10,000 army are unknown, no matter whether Mu Yan will attack the Hot Spring Valley or not, it is impossible for Yu Rong to continue to stay here.

The tiger does not hurt people, but people hurt the tiger's heart. Now that Shenzhou Zhizhou's wife Jiao Yu is in Xingcheng County, who knows what kind of behavior Mu Yan will have......
