Chapter 42 Secretly crossing Chen Cang to hide evil intentions

Mu Wanqin's disappearance in Yongcheng was just an incomparably small thing, and there were no waves.

But for the Gu family and the Mu family, it was a shocking event.

After many fruitless investigations, Gu Lun had no choice but to inform his son Gu An of the matter, although this was nothing more than to make Gu An worry and useless, but as a father, he could only say hello in advance, so that Gu An could be prepared.

After all, no one can say exactly what this matter is going to be. And Mu Wanqin's safety cannot be guaranteed.

It's really life and death!

The Mu family is now a busy mess, and Mrs. Mu is even more heartbroken, washing her face with tears every day, worrying about her daughter.

In the end, Mu Shouren had no choice but to take his wife to the temple to pray for blessings and prayers, which made Mrs. Mu's mood a lot more stable.

However, as long as you can't see Mu Wanqin's people for a day, you can't feel at ease.

And Gu Lun's actions also alarmed many people with hearts.

Among them were Emperor Li Hongsheng and Yan envoy Tuoba Kui.

Li Hongsheng also attached great importance to this matter after knowing this, although Mu Wanqin is just a woman, but her identity is different now, she is not only the only daughter of the Mu family, but also the fiancée of Gu An of the Gu family and the daughter-in-law of Gu Lun.

If the Gu family is distracted because of this incident, especially Gu An, who is on an envoy in the Chu State, is worried, it is likely to delay the major matter he handed over to Gu An.

"Lu Qi, you should let people pay close attention to this matter and send someone to find out the whereabouts of Miss Mu. It's going to be done in secret, and I want someone to know! Li Hongsheng sat on the imperial chair and said to the empty place in front of him.

"Yes!" And at this moment, a voice came very suddenly, obviously someone was hiding somewhere.

The owner of this voice is none other than Lu Qi, the commander of the royal secret unit "Black Guard".

The Black Guards were a secret organization personally controlled by the Southern Tang Emperor, and only the reigning emperors of each generation could order them.

Their existence is a secret that no one knows, and only when a new emperor succeeds to the throne does they appear and swear allegiance to the emperor.

Their profession is to protect the royal family.

"Strange, why did this girl of the Mu family suddenly disappear? Could it be that Yan Guo sent someone to hijack him, so as to threaten Gu Anfu. Li Hongsheng had some doubts in his mind.

And he was worried that this matter would affect the peace between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Chu State, so he paid special attention to it.

Originally, for the emperor of a country, how could he care about the disappearance of a minister's child.

It's just that this matter is very involved and has a close relationship with the Gu family, so he has to think about it carefully.

And Tuoba Kui, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, was shocked when he heard this.

He knew in his heart that the so-called alliance that came to Nantang this time could not be realized at all.

But this process must be taken, and coming to Nantang is just a fluke.

And the key point of Yan Guo at present is the Southern Tang Dynasty and relatives, of which Gu An is the key figure.

He also heard that Murong Sheng sent people to assassinate him several times without success, and after hearing about Mu Wanqin, he moved his mind.

As Gu An's fiancée, this Mu Wanqin can just be used as a hostage to blackmail Gu An, isn't this a great achievement?

Tuoba Kui thought of this, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. It was a bonus. Although there is little hope of forming an alliance with Nantang this time, it is also a great achievement to be able to "invite" Mu Wanqin, and his future can be described as bright.

"Well, it seems that this matter still needs to be done in a hurry, otherwise it will be a little tricky to get this person by yourself when the Gu family finds someone!" Tuoba Kui pondered for a moment, then began to act.

Although he didn't bring many people to the Southern Tang Kingdom this time, they were all elites.

And there are also a few masters in exploration and tracking, so he ordered this person to secretly find out the news, and once he found the person, he would "invite" him to go back to Yan Kingdom.

And they must act quickly, to find Mu Wanqin in front of the Gu Mu family.

Although Tuoba Kui's actions were extremely careful and secretive, they could not hide from Li Hongsheng's ears and eyes.

As the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also an emperor in the heyday of the strong period, he can know everything about the big and small things that happened in Yongcheng.

And in addition to the recent period, Li Hongsheng also took special care of Tuoba Kui's residence.

Therefore, not long after Tuoba Kui sent people, his actions had been transmitted back to Emperor Li Hongsheng to know.

"Your Majesty, news has just arrived. That Tuoba Kui also sent someone to inquire about Mu Wanqin's news, although he acted cautiously, he was still known by the black-clothed guards. Lu Qi respectfully knelt in front of Li Hongsheng and reported this matter to Li Hongsheng.

"Oh, what is this Tuoba Kui doing to inquire about the Mu family's daughter?" Li Hongsheng asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, do you say that this matter will have anything to do with the Gu family!" Lu Qi said guessingly.

"Gu family? That's right, Gu An, their purpose is Gu An's kid! Li Hongsheng suddenly woke up and understood what Tuobakui's purpose was.

Isn't Gu An being a peace envoy in the Chu State at the moment?

This matter is not a good thing for Yan Guo, so they are ready to destroy and kiss many times.

According to Gu An's news, Yan Guo has already assassinated the princess and Gu An several times.

Since they couldn't succeed in the assassination, they prepared to kidnap the Mu family's daughter to blackmail Gu An.

Thinking of this, Li Hongsheng's eyes were extremely cold.

"This Yan Kingdom is really lawless, my fourth daughter married Chu State, I owe her, if she really has three long and two short, I will definitely have Yan Guo to pay a heavy price." Li Hongsheng said excitedly.

Indeed, this time he married a daughter, and he owed it very much to the fourth princess. But Yang Ping didn't complain at all, and he was very obedient to his words, but the more so, how could he, as a father, not know that this was his daughter's unwillingness to embarrass him.

Therefore, Li Hongsheng felt guilty for the fourth princess.

Although the royal family has no relatives.

But he, Li Hongsheng, attaches great importance to family affection, and as he gets older, he attaches more importance to this family affection.

Lu Qi didn't interject about the emperor's words, because it was not something he could comment on.

"Lu Qi, you send someone to keep an eye on Tuoba Kui, as long as he has any misdeeds, control it." Li Hongsheng regained his composure and instructed Lu Qi.

"Understood!" Lu Qi said.

"Well, go down! Feel free to report any news! Li Hongsheng nodded.

After Lu Qi retreated, Li Hongsheng leaned back and rubbed his temples, a little tired.

Li Hongsheng sighed: "I hope Si'er is safe!" ”

He was also a little worried about Princess Yangping's safety, but he didn't show it.

In the eyes of the world, he is the supreme emperor; But how many people know that he is just an ordinary father!

There is still no news of the alliance between Yan and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Tuoba Kui was tormented in his heart, although he knew in his heart that it was difficult to succeed in this matter, but he still held on to the luck mentality and waited for Nantang's reply.

"I hope I can find that Mu Wanqin as soon as possible, so that I also have an explanation." Tuoba Kui thought to himself.

And he naturally didn't know that Li Rui, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Gu Lun, the general of Jingwei, had clearly opposed this matter.

For the people of Yongcheng, they don't care about the alliance of Yan Kingdom, how they lived in the past and how they live now, there is no change.

And at this moment, in the Yanhe Tower in Yongcheng, an ordinary scholar is drinking tea, but his mind is no longer here at all, but listening to the guests next to him discussing the recent events in Yongcheng.

And this includes the fact that Yan Guo came to the Southern Tang Dynasty to form an alliance.

This matter caught the person's attention.

He paid special attention to these topics, but his heart was faintly uneasy.

It turned out that this person was a native of Chu - Han Fu.

Speaking of which, he is very yearning for the Southern Tang Dynasty, he likes the cultural atmosphere here in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he also loves the poetry here.

Different from the Chu songs of the Chu State, the poetry of the Southern Tang Dynasty is more catchy. This is a kind of literature that he loves very much.

Therefore, he was extremely happy about the marriage between the Chu State and the Southern Tang Dynasty this time.

However, this time he came to Nantang and heard this bad news, which really surprised him. I was also worried.

He did not want to see the state of Chu go to war with the Southern Tang.

He originally came to Nantang this time to visit the recently famous Mu Shaobai Gongzi, but he was never able to learn about him, and he was depressed.

I came out to relieve my boredom, but I didn't expect to hear about it.

He knew that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't know what he was going to do.

Because Li Hongsheng naturally tried to downplay this matter as much as possible, and did not want the situation to expand and affect the mood of his subjects.

So Han Fu hadn't heard of this before.

"Hey, if this Yan State is allied with the Southern Tang Dynasty, wouldn't the Chu State be in danger?" Han Fu thought to himself.

At present, the state of Chu is caught in the middle and is in an awkward situation. For the two countries, the state of Chu is just meat in their bowls, food in the ding, and they can handle it at any time.

And he is also worried about his teacher, Wei Jingxuan is dedicated to the country and the people, but he is not reused, he feels worthless for the teacher.

It's just that he also understands the teacher's character and will never change his will and determination. This is also what he admires about his teacher.

And he also knew that his teacher was the messenger of the Nantang peace this time, so he was extremely worried, and he was afraid that the teacher would be implicated because of this matter.

Thinking of this, he couldn't enjoy the tea with peace of mind, so he could only go back in a hurry, ready to report the situation here to the teacher.

And what happened in Yongcheng, Mu Wanqin didn't know about it.

She didn't know that because she didn't say goodbye, it caused a series of misunderstandings.

And at this moment, she was in a happy mood and went on a date with Gu An.

It's said that it's a date, but it's better to say that the two of them are enjoying flowers and listening to music in the courtyard.

Since Wei Jingxuan and Zhang Yue expressed their support for them, everything has gone smoothly.

So the two of them celebrated as soon as possible, so they ate snacks in the small courtyard, admired the flowers and the moon and listened to music.

For Gu An, appreciating flowers and the moon is not as good as the beauty Wanqin in front of him.

At this time, Mu Wanqin was wearing an elegant long skirt, with a small pink flower pinned to her head, which was very beautiful and moving. And this flower was picked by him himself and inserted on Mu Wanqin's head, which has a unique flavor.

The warm rain and sunny wind are beginning to break the frost, and the willow eyes and plum cheeks are already feeling the spring heartbeat. Who shares the poetry of wine, tears melt and powder flowers are heavy.

At first glance, the jacket is sewn with gold threads, the mountain pillow is oblique, and the pillow is damaged by the hairpin head phoenix. There is no good dream when you are alone, and you still cut the lights at night.

Mu Wanqin sat there gently and quietly, playing with a string, a little bit of harmonizing the piano, adding a touch of elegance and solemnity.

Although she was very excited at the moment, she still played the strings quietly, and she was happy for you.

Ruoyi listened fascinated on the side, but he didn't notice that the eyes of the two were blurred, and they looked at each other affectionately.

There is only one you in my eyes.

Good flowers and good scenery are not as good as beautiful people, and good poems and good songs are not as good as beautiful people's hearts.

Gu An is very happy at the moment, with a wife like this, he is satisfied and enjoying it in his heart.

In addition, everything has been going well recently, which makes him cherish this fiancée very much.

Because all this is inseparable from her support.

It is said that behind successful men there is a woman who pays silently. This is true for him.

This person is Mu Wanqin, a confidant who accompanied him all the way.

The sound of the piano stopped, Ruoyi reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at Mu Wanqin and said, "Miss, your music is so good!" I'd like to hear it! ”

Seeing Ruoyi like this, Mu Wanqin and Gu An both laughed heartily.
