Xiao Mo ascended the throne as the emperor on the tenth day of October, it was for Emperor Jiahe, because of the patriarchal agreement, the new emperor needed ten days before he could go to the Taimiao, show the four seas, and seal the six palaces, therefore, Xiao Mo except for moving into the Xuanlin Hall and correcting the folds, everything else has not yet begun, but the crown prince and Xiao Huai are temporarily imprisoned and waiting for disposal.

Since Mu Hanchuan heard about the change of generation in the Southern Dynasty, he began to act, and he had already fought several battles with the men and horses led by Xiao Xun.

"Big brother, Xiao Xun is really powerful, it's been a few days, and we haven't been able to move forward." Mu Hanyan begged for a long time before he got the opportunity to join the army, but now he was blocked by Xiao Xun, and he was really angry.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, the situation is unstable, it is our opportunity, if we miss it, once Xiao Mo becomes the climate, it will be even more difficult for us." Mu Hanchuan knew very well that Xiao Mo was different from the Light Saint Emperor, and now that he ascended the throne, his ambition would definitely not be small.

Mu Hanyan rolled his eyes and said, "It's better for me to sneak attack Xiao Xun tonight and frustrate his spirit." ”

"Don't come nonsense." Mu Hanchuan almost vetoed, "Have you forgotten, how did you escape death last time?"

"Last time it was Xiao Mo, this time it's Xiao Xun, I don't believe it, I can still fail." Mu Hanyan pursed her mouth, she was a little jealous of Xiao Mo, but she wanted to give Xiao Xun a try.

"No way!" Mu Hanchuan would never let her take risks, but Mu Hanyan's temperament was not a person who would not act if he couldn't do it.

That night, Mu Hanyan avoided Mu Hanchuan, led a group of men and horses to secretly go to Xiao Xun's military tent, wanted to sneak attack him, only to enter the account, he found that he had been fooled, there was no one in the account, and when he was about to leave, Xiao Xun opened the tent curtain and said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe, you will live here with me for a few days." ”

"Don't think!" Mu Hanyan pulled out his sword and stabbed at Xiao Xun, but Xiao Xun dodged sideways, and as soon as he reached out, he grabbed her thin waist and snatched the sword.

Mu Hanyan was hugged by Xiao Xun, her face turned red, and she stretched out her hand to hit, Xiao Xun hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear: "You can't beat me." ”

"You are rude!" Mu Hanyan was restrained by Xiao Xun, unable to move, and only felt ashamed.

Xiao Xun let go of Mu Hanyan, smiled, put his hands behind his back, and said: "I am a salute before the soldiers, let you have a pair of hands, if you can beat me, I will let you go back, if you are not against me, you will stay." ”

Seeing this, Mu Hanyan swept his legs and wanted to attack Xiao Xun's lower plate, but Xiao Xun took the lead, pinned her legs, and saw that the road was not smooth, so he raised his palm and slashed his neck, Xiao Xun dodged Mu Hanyan, and used his shoulder as a force to fight with him.

After a few moves, Mu Hanyan was restrained by Xiao Xun again, "Now I'm convinced." ”

"Hmph." Mu Hanyan tilted his head to the side and ignored Xiao Xun again.

Xiao Xun had no choice but to let go of her first and let her stand far away.

"Lord Wang, Qinglan asks to see you." A voice came from outside the tent.

Xiao Xun was a little surprised, how could the concubine's maid come to the border, "Pass!"

As soon as Qinglan entered the tent, she knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Lord Wang, please be the master of the mother." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xun frowned, flustered.

"In order to seize the throne, King Heng was afraid of the prince and threatened Niangniang, but Niangniang was not tired of the prince, so she crashed to death."

Qinglan cried sadly, and the cry went straight into Xiao Xun's heart, and her heart couldn't help but throb, and she choked up: "The concubine really went?"

"Slaves don't dare to lie." Qinglan kept kowtowing, and her forehead was already red and swollen.

Xiao Xun covered his heart, his eyes were red, stared at Qinglan, and asked, "Is it really the mother concubine that Heng and King Heng forced to die?"

Before Qinglan could speak, Mu Hanyan had already stepped forward and said, "We got the news that Xiao Mo has ascended the throne." ”

Xiao Xun tightened his heart, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the tears in his eyes all slipped down, Mu Hanyan saw this, and hurriedly supported Xiao Xun, and after retiring everyone, he helped him to the couch and poured him another glass of water, "The royal family is like this, you have to mourn." ”

Xiao Xun was lying on the couch, staring at the top of the tent, motionless, Mu Hanyan was a little distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to sit quietly beside him and guard him.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Xun said to himself: "No wonder my mother asked me to be careful of him before she died." ”

"Your mother has been posthumously named Zhenlie Guifei." Mu Hanyan told Xiao Xun the news and wanted to comfort him a little.

Xiao Xun's eyes were red, and he sneered: "What's so good about honor after death." ”

Mu Hanyan patted him on the back and sighed softly.

"I'm going back and asking." Xiao Xun stood up suddenly, the green tendons on his forehead were prominent, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of murderous energy.

Mu Hanyan grabbed him tightly and said, "When you go back at this time, aren't you going to die?"

Xiao Xun turned his head, stared at her, and said word by word: "I want to see what he will do to me." ”

"Calm down." Mu Hanyan blocked Xiao Xun and said, "At this time, you go back, how to fight Xiao Mo." ”

Xiao Xun let go of his clenched fists, his chest continued to rise and fall, and he fainted when he was unstable, Mu Hanyan hurriedly supported Xiao Xun and took care of him patiently.

In the Xuanlin Palace, Xiao Mo sat on the top, dealing with the affairs of the court, Xia Man took the meal, gently put it on the table, and said, "Eat something." ”

Xiao Mo put down the red pen in his hand, pinched his sore arm, and then picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it, Xia Man saw this and stepped forward to pinch his shoulder.

"It's an eventful season, and there are a lot of things." After three or two bites, the porridge bowl bottomed out, Xiao Mo ate the pastries on the plate again, and after many days of busyness, hunger, and exhaustion.

"Fortunately, there is King Qi outside to defend against the enemy, and Zhou Chang is in charge inside, and the Southern Dynasty is also peaceful." Xia Man comforted, and pressed Xiao Mo's forehead to relieve his fatigue.

Xiao Mo smiled, pointed to the chair beside him, and said, "Sit down and talk to me." ”

Xia Man's hand was also a little sore, so he didn't shirk it, and sat down, "In a few days, you will reward the ministers and seal the six palaces, which is the time for you to really work hard." ”

"I have my own Ministry of Etiquette to do it, by the way, if it's a reward, what do you want?" Xiao Mo turned his head to look at Xia Man with a smile on his face.

Xia Man was a little surprised, his eyes widened, and he asked, "I also have a reward?"

"What? If you don't want it, forget it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Man hurriedly got up, approached Xiao Mo, and flattered: "You can reward me with a few acres of land and a few houses." ”

"That's all?" Xiao Mo could barely suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xia Man nodded and said firmly: "That's all." ”

"Hahaha......"

The two chatted like this, until Zhong Si came in a hurry outside the hall.

Seeing Zhong Si's solemn face, Xiao Mo knew that something was happening and asked, "What's wrong?"

"King Qi and the army of the Northern Dynasty have arrived in Fancheng and are approaching Yecheng." Zhong Si's face was sweating profusely, and he was really shocked by this kind of change.

Xiao Mo smiled in disbelief and said, "You say, you said King Qi?"

"Absolutely."

"Let's go down."

Xiao Mo suddenly felt dizzy, supported his forehead, and sat aside, Xia Man hurriedly stepped forward and handed him a cup of strong tea, "What happened between the two of you?"

"Her mother framed my mother." Xiao Mo slowed down, stood up, stared in the direction outside the hall, and told Xia Man what happened that day.

After listening to Xiao Mo, Xia Man thought carefully, and suddenly, walked up to Xiao Mo and said, "You have been calculated by the queen." ”

"He's still suspicious of me." Xiao Mo sighed, his deep eyes filled with loss.

I don't know how long it took, and Qianying's eager voice came from the silent hall, "Xiao Wei and Xiao Huai's men and horses are secretly colluding, and Zhou Chang can't hold it back." ”

"Bring in the soldiers in the city to solve the current urgent need first." Xiao Mo quickly regained his composure, took out the defense map of Yecheng, and studied it carefully.

Qianying shook his head and said, "It's not a foolproof strategy, once the guards in the city are empty, they can attack at any time, besides, King Qi ......" Qianying looked at Xiao Mo, and saw that his face was different, so he didn't say any more.

"Internal and external troubles must be solved first." Xiao Mo didn't want to be an enemy of Xiao Xun yet, after all, they had been brothers for many years.

Xia Man didn't interject, but after listening to the conversation between the two of them, he had realized the danger of this matter, so he wanted to help Xiao Mo share his worries, "I want to go to Fancheng." ”

"Nope." Xiao Mo almost refused.

Xia Man didn't have any extra arguments, and only said, "Trust me." ”

Qianying looked at the expressions of the two, smiled secretly, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Mo still wanted to stop it, but Xia Man preemptively said, "Thank you." ”

"Then get ready, we'll leave later." Qianying glanced at Xiao Mo and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded at Xia Man, turned around and walked away.

"Nonsense!" Xiao Mo said in a low voice, looking at Xia Man with complicated eyes.

Xia Man smiled, pointed to the defense map on the table and said, "I'm just helping you delay the time, when the time comes, are you still afraid of the Fancheng army?"

"You're more sure than I am." Xiao Mo's expression suddenly changed, grabbed Xia Man's arm, and said solemnly: "You must protect yourself when you go here, and there are rewards waiting for you when you come back." ”

"Got it." Xia Man gave Xiao Mo a firm look, and at this moment, the hearts of the two seemed to be getting closer little by little.

In the hall, Xiao Mo deployed troops, and Xia Man looked at him quietly on the side, the two of them did not say anything to each other, but they knew what they were thinking, looking at Xiao Mo's serious appearance, Xia Man couldn't bear to disturb, quietly got up, and went to get some snacks for Xiao Mo.
