Chapter X
Although Mu Zichu couldn't confirm who this person was, he still replied politely: "Childe, what important matter is there to find here?" ”
The man was slightly stunned, looked at him and scratched his head, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he pulled Mu Zichu with an excited expression: "Mu Gongzi may not remember me very much, I am a refugee under the command of General Long Xiao!" ”
He looked left and right, and saw that they were at the door, and people were coming and going, and it was really not a good place to talk about bad.
The man thought for a while, decisively arched his hand to Mu Zichu, and said, "Mu Gongzi, please come down with your subordinates, this is not a good place to talk!" “
After that, Wei Jing led Mu Zichu out of the banquet and walked towards the zigzag path, looking at this person's familiar appearance, Mu Zichu immediately crossed a subtle feeling in his heart.
After Mu Zichu heard him talk about Long Baiyu, he instantly remembered who this person was, but logically speaking, he should stay in Yancheng at this time, guarding the frontier territory with Long Baiyu, before Long Baiyu heard that the Jurchen Kingdom was too arrogant and repeatedly violated the border, how could this Wei Jing return to Beijing at such a time?
It's really not good, this situation Mu Zichu didn't dare to act rashly before he figured it out, he thought, let's listen to what this person has to say for the time being!
"Your name is Wei Jing?"
"Childe has a good memory! It is the subordinate, maybe the subordinate's return to Beijing this time is a bit abrupt, but this is General Long Xiao's instructions, so he doesn't dare to take it lightly, but after all, the subordinate is the first time to come to Kyoto, so he is not very familiar with Kyoto, so he failed to find Mu Gongzi in time, please forgive me! ”
Wei Jing saw that there was no one around, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Mu Zichu.
However, Mu Zichu didn't care about this: "Hurry up, I'm not your master, naturally I don't have to, you tell me when you came to Kyoto, and after you haven't found me, where are you to protect yourself?" ”
Wei Jing got up and patted the dirt on his body: "I came to Kyoto half a month ago, and after I didn't find the prince, I remembered that when General Long Xiao never led the army to the frontier, it was His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince as the commander, so I asked passers-by about the residence of the Four Princes, and then the Four Princes took in their subordinates, oh, that's right!" ”
Wei Jing paused for a moment, took out a letter from his arms, and then handed it to Mu Zichu.
Mu Zichu didn't take the letter at first, but asked, "What is this?" What to do to me? ”
"Childe, don't blame, this is a letter from General Long Xiao to his subordinates to Gongzi, don't worry, your subordinates don't have the courage to open the letter! This is also a matter of belonging to Kyoto, General Long Xiao said, this letter is top secret, do not dare to easily send it back with carrier pigeons, for fear of being intercepted halfway, so there is a matter of belonging to Kyoto, if the son does not believe it, you can let people write to General Long Xiao, ask if the subordinates are credible! ”
"No need to do it."
Mu Zichu's eyes swept a few glances on the letter, and the fire paint mark on the letter was still there, and it should have not been opened.
"Does anyone else know why you came to Kyoto?"
Mu Zichu narrowed his eyes and stared at Wei Jing, the others he was referring to were naturally talking about the Four Princes, after all, before Long Baiyu arrived at the frontier, Wei Jing was subordinate to the Four Princes!
"No one knows!"
Wei Jing patted his chest and reassured.
"Okay, but since you and I have met, why don't you go back with me today?"
"My subordinates can't ask for it!"
Wei Jing hurriedly nodded in agreement.
If you say that Mu Zichu came to the wedding banquet of the four princes, what was the biggest gain?
I'm afraid it's just to pick up a Wei Jing.
National Teacher's Mansion.
"I really didn't expect that I was so destined for Shaoxia! Hahahaha, that day I thought that you kid would definitely meet me again! ”
"It turns out that you are a famous national teacher, and your subordinates heard General Long mention your deeds, and at that time they thought I was in the wrong place, but I really didn't expect that it would be the national teacher who opened the door himself!"
Mu Zichu didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the national teacher in the main hall, so he said hello and went back to the house alone to read Long Baiyu's letter.
It is inevitable that the letter will mention Wei Tian's little maid Xi'er.
Mu Zichu didn't know whether to mention her in the reply letter to Long Baiyu, after all, that person, Mu Zichu closed his eyes, and a deep sense of powerlessness slowly spread all over his body, when that person came back, he was already lying there lifeless, which was hard not to remind him of Wei Tian, Rufan of Yiren Pavilion said that when they first found Xi'er, Xi'er was still alive, but for Wei Tian, she went alone to provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, so she ended up like this, but fortunately, Wei Tianfu didn't have an accident.
What's more, the Yiren Pavilion left the strongest existing Xiao Yi by his side to protect him, and it shouldn't be long before Wei Tian returns to Ling Qing.
Mu Zichu felt that he still couldn't tell Long Baiyu about this matter directly, he skipped the other words mentioning Xi'er, and looked down concisely, where could he have expected that when he thought that this letter was a letter from home, he saw the news of His Royal Highness Jiu.
Mu Zichu stared at the words on the letter carefully in a panic, and after confirming it again and again, he had to believe that it was about the Ninth Highness and the Fourth Highness.
Even though Mu Zichu felt that this matter was a big deal, he picked up the pieces of paper and stuffed them into his arms, opened the door and went to discuss with the National Teacher.
The National Teacher didn't feel that something was wrong, and while he was talking and laughing with Wei Jing, he caught a glimpse of Mu Zichu walking back in a hurry, and joked with a smile: "Are you doing this to rush to reincarnation?" In such a hurry? What else can happen? ”
Mu Zichu took out the letter paper in his arms and threw it on the table, and the national teacher hurriedly grabbed the flying paper, and when he bent down, he heard Mu Zichu say: "Tomorrow I will leave for Yancheng!" ”
In fact, because of Mu Zichu's physical reasons, they also discussed canceling Mu Zichu's plan to go to Yancheng, after all, the weather and environment over there are extremely harsh, the people are sparse, and the materials are poor.
"No! You're dying! ”
"It's useless for you to refute! Look at what the letter says! Not only am I going to Yancheng, but I also want to take you and me with me! ”
"Childe? What's wrong with you guys? ”
Wei Jing looked at Mu Zichu in a daze, and suddenly went crazy.
Mu Zichu is not a person who loses his temper, and his actions must have a reason.
After a few glances at the things mentioned in the letter, the National Teacher probably understood why Mu Zichu was like this.
Long Baiyu's letter mentioned three points: First, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Ninth and the Four Princes, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the two are at most-for-tat brothers, but Long Baiyu said that the two have actually reached an agreement, and His Royal Highness the Nine once did not know what he had done for the Four Princes, and he had obtained the promise of the Four Princes that he would ensure that he would ascend the throne.
Second: Long Baiyu found a disease in the barracks, suspected of plague, but in order to avoid disturbing the morale of the army, Long Baiyu had quietly covered up the news, and urgently needed the national teacher to go to the frontier for treatment.
Third: The Jurchen Kingdom secretly obtained the Yancheng military defense map, Long Baiyu is now in the midst of internal and external troubles, the Yancheng general he doesn't believe it, and feels that the high probability of betraying the military defense map is one of them, and he needs someone to give him advice!
