Those cognitions of the northern realm, for some reason, suddenly made Xie Shurou feel a little sad.

In her opinion, the Mu family is like an idealist living in this ghost dynasty, they are simple and persistent in fulfilling their mission, although An Guogong is also a traditional noble family with high lords and hereditary replacement, but in fact, the Mu family is really a little out of place with most of the nobles in Beijing.

It should be said that their ideals and pursuits are incompatible with the vast majority of people in this era.

No one will understand their contributions. Everyone, under the protection of the Muhammad family, took it for granted. And the Mu clan obviously knew this, they did not complain, but silently, generation after generation, sent their children and grandchildren to the bitter cold north, and continued to do their best to guard the border of the Great Zhou.

"Red clothes, why is that?" Xie Shurou was silent for a long time before she asked, "The Great Zhou Dynasty is not only your Mu general. Jin Lingwei's General Chen has been named the general of Zhenguo, and there are all pacification envoys, all of whom are second-grade military attachés, why can't they. We are all the people of the Great Zhou, and the northern border should not be the responsibility of your clan. Why you, and why you? ”

"I've also asked this question," Mu Hongsheng raised her head, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and showed a faint smile: "But my brother asked me why I couldn't be us." It took me a long time to understand what he was saying. Whoever bears such a responsibility will have to pay a lot of price, and someone will have to go. Let there be no war in the north and let the people have peace and security, this is the wish of my father and their brothers. We in the Mu clan are voluntary. ”

"But ......" Xie Shurou wanted to say something, but as soon as she spoke, Mu Hongshang turned her head with a smile: "Sister Xie, do you think that all the generals in the north are surnamed Mu?" How many camps are there in the north, hundreds of generals large and small, but there are not so many people in our family. My fourth uncle's father used to be a northern general, and he died on the battlefield of Youzhou very early. ”

"In addition to those generals, there are also soldiers in the north, and they all have the same responsibilities as the Mu family. But the world only knows about our Anguo Mansion, but few people mention these unknown generals and sergeants, they have not complained, as a Mu clan, where are we qualified to complain? ”

"Hmm." Xie Shurou didn't know what to say. She looked at Mu Hongshang's bright eyes, nodded slowly, and said again after a long time: "Don't worry, it won't be long, your father and they will definitely defeat the Rongdi people, and the northern border of the Great Zhou will definitely be Chang'an forever." ”

Xie Shurou didn't have much confidence in what she said, and both of them knew that this was just an empty comfort. But Mu Hongshang was still very happy to hear it, her eyes were bent, her red mouth was upturned, like a water chestnut, and she showed her signature sweet and sunny smile to Xie Shurou. And Xie Shurou kept staring at Mu Hongsheng's smiling face, as if she would suffer if she didn't look at it for a while.

Xie Shurou and Mu Hongsheng had a heavy topic here, and Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong, who had suffered a big loss here in Mu Hongshang, were not in a happy mood. After the two left the Imperial Garden, there was a small dispute.

"Why are you leaving?" Hu Lu Yinghuan was still angry: "Our Eagle Department has always had revenge. What kind of thing is she, why should she step on our heads! If we tolerate her at this time, we are damaging the face of the Rong Di people. ”

"Sister," Hu Lu Changrong frowned slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive." It's not that you don't know, that girl is not easy to mess with. She can restrain you with one move, and if we really continue to argue with her, who knows if she will hurt you? ”

"I'm not afraid of her." Hu Lu replied: "It was the Empress of the Great Zhou who invited us to the palace as a guest, if she really dared to hurt me in the Great Zhou Palace, we can go to the Emperor of the Great Zhou to discuss the law." ”

"Sister, don't you really think that we are here to be guests." Hu Lu Changrong sighed and replied: "In the future, we will be the protons pledged in the Great Zhou, and we are prisoners, whether it is the father Khan or the Great Zhou Emperor, they all regard us as bargaining chips, I thought you would have known." ”

"Of course I know." Hu Lu Yinghuan replied calmly: "Even if it is a proton, I am also Princess Rongdi." Queen Da Zhou connived at that old woman and the girl just now, and wanted to trample my pride under her feet, could it be that I should suffer it for life? Why? Just because I'm a hostage? Even if we are hostages, we are steppe eagles who cannot break their wings, and I cannot let them do this to me. I can't let them underestimate our Rongdi people, and I can't lose the face of my father. ”

"Sister ......" Hu Lu Changrong looked at Hu Lu Yinghuan, and didn't know how to persuade her: "Is it difficult for you to ......"

"Yes!" Hu Lu Yinghuan didn't wait for his younger brother to finish speaking, he knew what he wanted to express. She directly interrupted Hu Lu Changrong's words, and replied categorically: "I don't believe that Father Khan will abandon us. After unifying the nineteen divisions of Rong Di, Father Khan will definitely lead our Rong Di Iron Cavalry to level the Great Zhou and welcome us back to the grassland. My father Khan has always loved me the most, and he must be reluctant to let me live in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time. ”

"Okay, you're right." Hu Lu Changrong sighed and nodded: "But Sister, I don't want to see you hurt." That girl is really powerful, don't look at her looks like a beautiful Gesang flower, but it's actually a wild rose with thorns. Just now you were pressed on a stone bench by her, and I was really afraid that she would accidentally break your neck. ”

Hu Lu Yinghuan turned her head violently, looked carefully at Hu Lu Changrong's eyes, and only said after a while: "You like her?" You actually like our Rong Di's enemy? Her surname is Mu! How many of our Rongdi warriors have been killed by the Mu family of Da Zhou. ”

"Sister, what the hell are you talking nonsense?" Hu Lu Changrong didn't know how to comment on his sister's brain circuit: "Where did you see that I like her?" She was still a little girl. ”

"You can't hide it from me." Hu Lu Yinghuan turned his head to the side angrily: "The wild roses on the grassland are your favorite flowers. And she is not too young, she looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is not uncommon for her to marry at this age on our grassland. ”

"I'm just saying it casually," Hu Lu Changrong replied with a smile and a smile, "Don't be so sensitive. I'm only sixteen this year, and I haven't thought about it. And I really don't like her, I'm not interested in such a small girl. I was just amazed at her kung fu, how good she was for a little girl. ”
