Chapter 422: The Old Man Meets
The two walked into the restaurant and followed the guy to the private room on the second floor.
The room layout is neat and elegant, quite eye-catching, Feng Qingfang is used to sitting next to the window, so he asked the guy to move the table and chair to the window, below is the lively street, as soon as the window leaves are opened, the noisy sound is poured in, Feng Qingmad was originally slightly frowned, but at this time it gradually expanded.
After a while, the man came in with refreshments and put them on the table, and then obediently withdrew.
But shortly after leaving, there was another knock on the door.
Feng Qingyan and Qin Luo glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, just because the person outside only knocked on the door and didn't speak, if it was a guy in the store, he would definitely tell him what he wanted first.
"Who?" Qin Luo asked loudly.
The door rang twice, but there was still no sound.
Qin Luo frowned, got up and went to open the door.
Feng Qingfang was curious, took a sip of tea, but saw Qin Luo open the door and stood still in a daze, just by looking at her stiff back, she knew that she was frightened.
"Xiao Luo, what's ......" She also paced, looking around Qin Luo's shoulder and looking at the person at the door, she was also taken aback for a moment, and her eyes forgot to blink.
"You, how could you ......"
"Why, after not seeing each other for a few years, won't the queen recognize me?" The person who came was dressed in a navy blue robe, with a turban of the same color around his neck, revealing a wheat-colored face, and when he smiled, he showed two rows of white teeth, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, quite handsome and quite penetrating.
The reason why it infiltrated people was because this person should have died a long time ago, and he should have been executed by the first emperor a few years ago.
"Mu Beituo." Feng Qingfang's lips squirmed, and he slowly called out the name, his voice still mixed with deep disbelief.
He showed a bright smile again, "In the past, you and I had some friendship, but now that we are reunited, don't you invite me in to sit down?" ”
The corners of Feng's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, I only had a grudge with you in the past, where did I get any friendship? Now that you have come back from the dead, you suddenly come out and are scary, the purpose must not be simple, if I invite you in, wouldn't it be in your arms?
"I think, it's better not to, this room is narrow, and it can't accommodate your big Buddha, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Mu Beituo seemed to guess that she would refuse, smiled without changing, and said slowly: "After so many years, the queen's temperament is exactly the same as before, I don't mind standing at the door and saying, it's just that it's a matter of military secrets, if it is listened to by others, I'm afraid it will be a big deal, I think you don't want to see the defeat of the Great Yan Army, right?" ”
Military secrets? Feng looked the other party up and down frantically, and his expression changed a few times, "What do you mean by this?" How can you have military secrets? ”
"I can't hide it, in order not to be found out that I am still alive, I have been staying in Xiyi for the past few years, and I have formed a deep friendship with the king of Xiyi. Mu Beituo replied leisurely.
Feng Qing's eyebrows jumped, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said, "Since that's the case, then please come in and talk." ”
"Niangniang......" Qin Luo turned his head to look at her, his face full of worry.
"Don't worry, with you, he can't play any tricks."
This made Qin Luo very useful, she had always been very confident in her ability, so she turned sideways and let people in.
After closing the door, Feng Qingyan and Mu Beituo sat down face to face.
Mu Beituo unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea, took a few sips slowly, and then smiled: "I can't imagine that I can still sit and drink tea and talk with you like this in my lifetime, I really have the illusion of being in a different world, I don't know how good I have been in these years?" ”
Why is this man still chattering? Feng waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, it's very good, don't talk about it, what is the secret you said just now?" ”
"Oh, it's me who overheard the conversation between the King of Xiyi and the King of the Dark Clouds, saying that they were planning to attack Xicui Pass." Mu Beituo said with a serious face.
"When?" Feng Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.
Mu Beituo shook his head and sighed regretfully: "I don't know about this, because they haven't decided for the time being." ”
Feng Qing stared at him suspiciously, in fact, he only believed less than half of his words, and this so-called secret was not of much value, the best thing for the Xiyi people was to raid, and the Great Yan Army must be on guard at all times.
"You have stayed in Xiyi all these years, and you must have received a lot of care from the king of Xiyi, right? Since you have such a deep friendship, what reason do you have to betray him and throw yourself into Dayan? What's more, you had a deep grudge with the emperor a few years ago, and your mother still died indirectly in my hands, and your operation really makes me full of suspicion. ”
She said very bluntly, and the suspicion in her eyes was not concealed at all, just staring at each other calmly, Mu Beituo was stunned at first, and then chuckled, and said: "Those are old grievances, I have actually forgotten them, of course, to say that I have completely forgotten those hatreds, it is impossible, it's just that the public is private and private, now Xiyi is coming, Dayan suffers, the people suffer, as a Dayan person, I can't just care about personal grievances, regardless of righteousness, the reason why the king of Xiyi kept me is also to fancy my familiarity with the terrain of Yunzhou, They just want to use me to deal with Dayan, the so-called friendship is only based on interests, and I don't think there's anything wrong with betraying them. ”
These words are full of righteousness, and how beautiful they are.
But even if he said it wildly, Feng Qingmad didn't believe it, Mu Beituo was narrow-minded, and he would repay him, and there was no righteousness in his heart at all, even if people would change, but even their bones had changed in a few years, and it was not scientific at all.
"So, I want to bother you, go and help me contact the emperor, I want to meet him in person and make my position clear to him." Mu Beituo said in a pleading tone, which can be described as full of sincerity.
Feng blinked wildly, laughed slowly, and said, "Okay, I don't know when you want to meet?" ”
Mu Beituo didn't expect her to be so refreshing, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he replied: "At the fifteenth day of this month, she is still in this room, how about it?" ”
"Okay, I'll go back and tell the emperor, but if he doesn't come, I can't guarantee it, after all, the emperor is busy with military affairs and doesn't like you very much, so he may not be willing to come to see you." Feng Qingyan seemed to say this on purpose, and he didn't know what his idea was.
"Well, whether you can persuade him to come or not, I will be here on the fifteenth day." Mu Beituo didn't care at all, and still said happily.
Feng smiled maniacally and muttered, "That...... Nothing else, right? If not, please leave, I still have to eat, I can't eat with outsiders. ”
"Originally, I wanted to have a meal at the queen's place, but since you have so obviously ordered the eviction of guests, then I can't rely on it and not leave," Mu Beituo stood up very eloquently, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll see you another day." ”
Calmly turned around, opened the door and left.
When he left, Qin Luo immediately walked to Feng Qingyan's side, frowned and asked, "Niangniang, this person must be uneasy and kind, do you really want to persuade the emperor to come up to see him?" ”
"I am only responsible for telling the emperor about today's events, whether I come to see Mu Beituo or not, it depends on his own will, I will not interfere." Feng Qing sighed wildly, Mu Liancheng might not come to see her.
As soon as he returned to the post house, Qin Luo sent someone to the Xicuiguan camp to bring a message to Mu Liancheng according to Feng Qing's instructions, but Mu Liancheng did not rush over that day, and he did not show up the next day, and on the night of the third day, when Feng Qingfang was sitting by the window and was drowsy, a knock on the door sounded, and a familiar voice came: "Light madness, have you fallen asleep?" ”
Feng Qing suddenly woke up, and was stunned with a sleepy face, and then got up to open the door.
The lights shone out, shining on Mu Liancheng, who was dressed in a blue robe, covering up the dust on his body a little, but the tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes was still reflected in Feng Qing's crazy eyes.
"Why are you here so late?"
"There are a lot of affairs in the barracks, and I got out very late, because I was late."
Mu Liancheng paced into the door, Feng Qingfang hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and asked with concern: "Are you hungry?" Would you like to ask the kitchen to bring you something to eat? ”
"No need, I ate before I came." He smiled and shook his head, and poured himself another cup after drinking tea, "Are you still used to living here these days?" ”
"Okay." Feng glanced at him secretly and replied lightly, "The place is secluded, and it is quite comfortable to live in." ”
Mu Liancheng put down the teacup, looked at her, and said softly: "That's good, Yunzhou is not as bad as the capital, the environment is bad, I'm afraid that you won't be suitable for coming." ”
"I'm not as fragile as you think." Feng Qing lowered his eyes wildly and sat down next to him.
"Even so, I still hope that you can leave here and return to the capital, so that I can rest assured."
"You're going to drive me away?" Feng Qing's eyes widened, his eyebrows twisted, as if he was a little displeased, "Could it be that I just stayed in this city and hindered your eyes?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Liancheng hurriedly held her hand, it was cold.
"What stupid things are you talking about, how can you get in my way? I'm worried that you're not doing well here, and I want you to go back to the capital to recuperate. ”
Feng Qing glanced at him wildly, withdrew his hand, and said softly: "I'm doing well, the wind can't blow, the sun can't shine, there is no need to go back to the capital." ”
Mu Liancheng sighed silently, knowing that if she said it again, she would be annoyed, so she had to give up for the time being.
After being silent for a while, he changed the subject: "I heard that you have something to tell me?" ”
Feng Qingyan remembered Mu Beituo's incident at this time, and immediately straightened his expression and said, "Yes, guess who I met when I went out a few days ago?" ”
"Who?" Mu Liancheng showed a curious expression.
"Mu Beituo." Feng Qingfang thought that he would be stunned like he had before, or smile and ask her if she was joking, but he just sat upright, looking calm, and did not react much.
Feng Qingfang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you surprised?" ”
