Chapter 63: Less of these vanities
"Everything is under the control of Li Gongzi, just wait for the last ironcraft to be on the way, and it will be possible to reach the county seat in a few days." The BOC member laughed and looked at him respectfully.
King Xuanyuan laughed a few times in satisfaction, reached out and patted him on the shoulder a few times, "Well done." ”
"That'...... I don't know what Li Gongzi said before counts? The BOC staff peeked at the feminine-looking person in front of him a few times and said tentatively.
King Xuanyuan's black and white eyes looked at him and pondered for a while, then laughed again, and said loudly: "Of course, after the matter is completed, Li Yuanwai's benefits are naturally indispensable. ”
After finishing speaking, he personally poured a glass of wine for Li Yuanwai, but when he drank it, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes when he looked at Li Yuanwai.
When Li Yuanwai heard the answer, he didn't notice it.
In the darkness, Song Mingyue and Mu Chen looked at each other, and they both saw the look of shock in each other's eyes, nodded to each other, and retreated.
Song Mingyue looked at the calm man in front of her with bright eyes, knowing that he would not be without movement, "What are you going to do?" ”
"This batch of Iron Xuanyuan King attaches so much importance to it, I think there are a lot of them, I suspect it is ......" Mu Chen's deep eyes were like bottomless pools, and a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows.
Song Mingyue raised her eyebrows, her face slightly sunk, "The iron weapon that disappeared in the first battle of Shigu Mountain?" ”
Mu Chen nodded, this is exactly what he was worried about, the weapons and grain that disappeared in Shigu Mountain in the first battle had been investigated by the imperial court for several months, but now it suddenly appeared near the county seat, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Song Mingyue observed his expression and said loudly, "Are you worried? ”
Mu Chen's deep eyes were lowered, pacing back and forth and thinking, his heart was slightly uneasy, "King Xuanyuan is thoughtful, but he chose to discuss such an important matter in Sifangzhai, I think maybe he already knows that our people are investigating him." ”
Song Mingyue's delicate brows couldn't help frowning, and she heard the seriousness of the matter, "If this is really the case, his power is far beyond our expectations." ”
The emperor secretly handed over the matter of the battle of Shigu Mountain to Mu Chen to investigate secretly, and if King Xuanyuan knew, it would be far more difficult to investigate this matter than he imagined.
Mu Chen glanced at her appreciatively, and his deep eyes showed firmness, "This is exactly what the emperor and I are worried about, but whether it's true or not, I must test the waters this time." ”
"Take me." As he spoke, Song Mingyue unconsciously put her hand on the back of his hand, her eyes sincere.
She vaguely felt that if the iron matter was not handled well, and King Xuanyuan's plan really succeeded, then the Song Mansion would be the object of the blame in the whole incident.
She must not let this happen!
Mu Chen felt the warmth coming from the back of his hand, and his gaze at her gradually became much gentler, but after hearing her words, his face instantly turned cold, and he pulled out his hand and said, "No, according to King Xuanyuan's character, this trip must be extremely dangerous." ”
Song Mingyue didn't notice his subtle emotional change, her expression was cold, and her sharp gaze fell on him, "Are you trying to kick me out of the partnership?" ”
Mu Chen frowned, he didn't mean that, but looking at the woman's serious gaze, he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
After thinking about it for a long time, the relationship between the two of them slowly improved, if she was rejected this time, the rift between the two would definitely become deeper, just he secretly spat out, he seemed to have made a decision.
"I can take you with me, but you must follow my arrangement, Xiaoxi's illness still needs your treatment."
"Don't worry, I promise to get out of the way." Song Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
After hearing this, Mu Chen was relieved.
Next.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the grass and trees on both sides of the canyon grow luxuriantly, and the breeze blows from time to time to make a rustling sound, Song Mingyue and Mu Chen and his party are hiding here.
Song Mingyue frowned, looking at the topography and environment of the canyon, "Are you sure you will pass by here?" ”
Mu Chen answered, according to his understanding of King Xuanyuan, he was bound to take this road, "Smuggling ironware, he will not choose the official road, and the road leading to the county seat is only here." ”
Song Mingyue felt that it was reasonable, so she came to another place, sat on a huge stone, and waited for the procession to lead.
But a noon passed, and the wind and grass were not heard, and many soldiers gradually lost patience, and Song Mingyue secretly looked at everyone's expressions.
If you wait like this, you don't have to wait for that group of people to come, and they'll already lose.
She thought for a while, came to the man, and proposed, "I'll go to the front and have a look." ”
"I'm with you." Mu Chen also noticed that something was wrong, and it was now two hours later than the budgeted time.
"No, they still need you." Song Mingyue shook her head, her eyes scanning a circle of listless people.
Mu Chen followed her gaze, sighed helplessly, and gently patted her shoulder, "Be careful." ”
"Hmm." In response, Song Mingyue turned around and left.
She walked about ten kilometers along the road, and when she heard the movement ahead, she stopped, and looked through the grass and trees with clear eyes.
"Why are you so late?" A bearded-faced man looked at the man in front of him with displeasure, however, before he could finish his complaint, a sword rested on his neck.
"What does Li Gongzi mean, do you dare to talk more?"
The bearded-faced man just heard this, and instantly lost his previous momentum, and squeezed down with a flattering smile on his face.
"Li Gongzi has already made arrangements, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, brothers, please, I have prepared good wine and food, I will not return home if I am not drunk tonight!"
As he spoke, the bearded-faced man put himself on his shoulder, but was thrown away by the latter with a cold snort.
"Don't fix these fictitious things, if something goes wrong with this batch of goods, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around."
"Yes, yes, what the adults said is ......"
Song Mingyue followed them silently and came to the place where the iron was hidden, she paid attention to the surroundings, and when she saw that there was no one, she opened the box.
The missing weapon in the first battle of Shigu Mountain was indeed in the hands of King Xuanyuan.
At this time, the sound of gradually approaching footsteps suddenly came out outside, and the voice of the man just now sounded again, "You guys are watching here, and you must report any movement to me!" ”
"Yes, sir."
Song Mingyue narrowed her eyes, her face was cold, she glanced at the window that had not yet been closed, and walked out of the window door with a sensitive movement, leaving silently.
On the canyon, Mu Chen glanced at Caixia on the horizon, his handsome brows were tightly locked, and he was anxious.
That woman has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, it can't be an accident, right?
Thinking about it, he suddenly stood up.
"General, where are you going?" Seeing this, Iron Blood stood up and wondered.
"You stay here, I'll go see her." Mu Chen glanced at him indifferently and was about to leave.
Song Mingyue rushed back, just when she heard this conversation, her cold heart felt a little warm, "I'm back, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”
"It's good if you're back, on the way." Mu Chen smiled at her, and unconsciously took her hand.
Song Mingyue felt the warmth coming from her palm, and looked at the man with a hint of tenderness again, but didn't shake it off, "Hmm." ”
Along the way, Song Mingyue told everything she had just seen, and after listening to it, Mu Chen's expression was serious, "Iron Blood, you take a few brothers and go to the place where Yue'er said to closely observe their every move." ”
"Yes." Iron Blood nodded and beckoned to a few brothers.
Song Mingyue looked at him seriously, and when she heard him call her name, her heartstrings seemed to be pulled fiercely.
The palm-sized face was immediately hot, and it was red all the way to the base of the back ear.
Mu Chen turned around, saw the scene of her blushing, laughed a few times in a good mood, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Yue'er, you are very beautiful." ”
Song Mingyue listened, raised her head and glared at him, this man definitely did it on purpose.
She snorted coldly, clamped her legs on the horse's back, and ran away with a thud, but her beautiful lips rose unconsciously.
Mu Chen looked at her petite back, in a happy mood, and his thin lips raised and sped up to come to her side.
General's Palace.
Ye Zi saw the two of them returning home, with a smile on their faces, they didn't see Song Mingyue early this morning, which made them worry for a long time.
Now seeing the two of them coming back together, still holding hands, she looked happy, "General, madam, the meal is ready, do you want to serve it now?" ”
"Well, I'm going to eat two big bowls of rice tonight!" Mu Chen nodded, in a very good mood, and at the same time secretly clenched Song Mingyue's hand.
Song Mingyue squinted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise when she saw his good mood, recalling the previous "Cold War", maybe it wasn't as serious as she imagined.
He may just not be good at expressing himself, so he doesn't choose what to say, otherwise there would be no marriage from the emperor later.
She might be able to open up to him again and be open to him.
"What do you think?" Mu Chen looked at the person sitting next to him and couldn't help but reach out and scrape the bridge of her small nose.
"It's fine." Song Mingyue came back to her senses and smiled sweetly at him.
Ye Zi and Cui Ya Wangcai saw the change in their own young lady, and they all secretly pursed their lips and laughed, it seems that their young lady is tempted.
Those gossips in the house can also be broken without attacking, and they don't have to look at other people's faces anymore.
After a while, when the food was ready, Mu Chen glanced at the people around him, and said loudly, "You all go down." ”
"Yes."
Song Mingyue looked at the closed door and looked at him puzzled, "Why did you send them all away?" ”
Mu Chen flicked her smooth forehead, this woman is usually very smart, but this is not a good one, but he can't really say what he thinks, so he has to sink his face and clip her food, "Eat quickly." ”
"Hahaha, I can't imagine that you will blush one day." Song Mingyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw his flushed face.
Mu Chen listened, why didn't she know that she pretended not to understand just now? Pretending to look at her angrily, he began to eat.
Song Mingyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her expression became serious, "I won't tease you, do you plan to take back this batch of ironware?" ”
