After a few hours of stop-and-go, Mu Yu couldn't help but take advantage of Xie Chongning's inability to see it, and secretly beat his legs, how can he say that Xie Chongning is seriously injured and nothing, even if she is tired, how can she be embarrassed to show it?

However, Xie Yu's mouth was very fast, and seeing her thumping of her legs, he did not shy away from saying, "If Miss Mu is tired, we can continue to rest for a while." ”

Mu Yu's face froze, and all the eyes around her were focused on her. "I'm not tired, just keep walking."

Xie Chongning slowed down, "Tired? ”

"No, I'm not tired, but what happened to the wound on your back?" Walking down this way, she couldn't help but be a little worried behind Xie Chongning, such a long wound, if it was accidentally cracked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Nothing." Xie Chongning replied lightly, and then he looked at Xie Yu, "Where is the place from here to leave the valley?" ”

"This valley is twists and turns, if you go out of the valley, it is Nanying." Xie Yu replied.

"Nanying?" Mu Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, if he walked according to the normal mountain road, he would have to climb a lot of mountains to reach Nanying, but they fell into the valley, and they didn't have to climb the mountain, which was also regarded as a loss of horses. "What about the county king and the county lord? Are they waiting for us in Nanxun? ”

Xie Yu looked at Xie Chongning in embarrassment, and replied slowly, "The county king and the county lord are already on their way back to the capital. ”

"Went back? How so? Mu Yu was surprised, she and Xie Chongning had been trapped in the valley, the news outside was blocked, I don't know what I had missed, but it was good, why did Qin Xu and Qin Sang go back?

Xie Chongning also didn't know what was going on outside, and motioned for Xie Yu to continue.

"The emperor is seriously ill, so he summoned the king of the county to return to the palace immediately." Xie Yu replied.

How can it be? The emperor is upright and in his prime, he was fine some time ago, why did he suddenly become seriously ill, Mu Yu looked back at Xie Chongning, who was in the ancient well, and he didn't know what Xie Chongning was thinking in his heart.

"A few days ago, the cabinet minister Li Daxue was beheaded all over the house because of selling official positions and abusing his power, since Li Daxue died, the emperor has been sick, who wants to get this illness quickly, the emperor will be seriously ill and can't get up in a few days."

Cabinet Minister Li Daxue, isn't that Li Miaozhen's father? Mu Yu was in a trance, but after staying in the valley for a few days, why did such a earth-shaking change suddenly occur outside.

The emperor has dealt with His Excellency, so what is the matter with the emperor's serious illness, could it be the cabinet's revenge?

At noon, they walked through a narrow moat, and between the two mountains, only one person could pass through, no wonder the carriage could not enter.

"Out of here, there's a carriage outside." Xie Yu said happily.

The moat was narrow and curved, but it was not very long, and the moment Mu Yan saw the carriage, she felt that she couldn't walk, and the moment she sat on the cushion, she really wanted to take off her shoes to see if the feet were worn out.

But there was Xie Chongning sitting opposite, and she couldn't do that.

The long-lost carriage made Mu Yu happy and relaxed, she looked left and right, and even the scenery in the valley was much more pleasing to the eye, and Xie Chongning took out the food box on the side, which contained all kinds of pastries, "Eat?" ”

Mu Yuming's eyes lit up, pursed her lips and chuckled the pastry, the valley was full of tasteless things all day long, and the sweet pastries were just enough to iron her wounded heart.

"Brother Xie, you can eat some too."

Xie Chongning nodded in response, but he didn't move with the food box in his hands, Mu Yu paused, stuffed half of the pastry in his hand into his mouth, and then took a piece of pale green pastry and sent it to Xie Chongning's thin lips, "Brother Xie doesn't dislike it." ”

Xie Chongning opened his lips slightly, and took the pastry that Mu Yu handed to his mouth, but he only took half a bite, Mu Yu pinched half of the pastry, and could only wait for Xie Chongning to swallow the food in his mouth and feed it again.

The two were quiet, but the atmosphere was extraordinarily relaxed.

Xie Chongning is actually not so scary, Mu Yu thought in her heart, after getting along in the past few days, she found that Xie Chongning has a cold personality on weekdays and does not like words, but his temperament is more like a child, and he is very easy to get along with when he is coaxed.

When she saw Xie Chongning, who was covered in blood, she suddenly realized that she had missed too much before, and the image of Xie Chongning's great minister had always been deeply rooted in her heart, so she deliberately alienated, but the moment Xie Chongning jumped into the cliff desperately to save herself, she understood that Xie Chongning was a person, a living person, not a character in the book, and had feelings.

"The emperor is seriously ill, we left the valley, and we have to rush back to the capital, Nanxun can't go." Xie Chongning said suddenly.

Mu Yu thought for a while and nodded, yes, the political situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, if the emperor is really ill, then he, the emperor's confidant, Dali Siqing, is facing the reproach of the entire cabinet, and he must go back to help Qin Xu stabilize the situation.

"What about the Flying Eagles?" On the one hand, there is chaos between the DPRK and China, and on the other hand, there may be a private army, no matter which one it is, once it breaks out, it will be irreversible.

"I'll leave it to Xie Yu first." Xie Chongning replied slowly.

Mu Yu bit his lower lip and asked softly, "Why did Brother Xie choose to serve the emperor?" ”

Xie Chongning raised his head because of her mindless question, and then asked rhetorically, "Do you think that the cabinet can be trusted?" ”

Since Xie Chongning was injured, she has been calling her a rumor, Mu Yu was a little embarrassed at first, and then she got used to it, but in the face of Xie Chongning's sudden change of words, she was still a little strange.

"I don't know, I just think that whoever it is, can make the people live a good life, it's good." It doesn't matter who the emperor is or who governs me, what she wants is for ordinary people to seek stability.

A stable life is more important than any power, fame and fortune.

"I'm not that great." With a hint of sarcasm, Xie Chongning chuckled twice, "What does the country have to do with me? ”

Mu Yu blinked, "Then why did Brother Xie enter the court as an official?" ”

"For the sake of the Xie family." This is the first time Xie Chongning has mentioned the matter of the Xie family.

"Brother Xie knows what is going on in his family?" Mu Yu's heart was in turmoil, and he suddenly thought of what his father told him about the Xuanhu internal guard, could it be that the Xie family was killed, and it was really related to the emperor?

Mu Yu's excited reaction was obviously unexpected by Xie Chongning, "You...... Know what? ”

"I don't know." Mu Yan shook his head in a panic, but he also slowly realized that he was a little excited just now, so he explained, "I just never heard Brother Xie mention the matter of his family, and it was the first time I heard about it, so it was a little abrupt." ”

It's just that Mu Yu explained this way, Xie Chongning also found the clue, but he didn't ask any further, "I am a member of the Xie family, so I naturally want to seek justice for the Xie family." ”

Xie Chongning wouldn't really know anything, would he? There is no writing in the book about why Xie Chongning rebelled, and as a reader, she also guesses that everything may be related to Xie Chongning's experience since childhood.

But now that I have carefully sorted it out, could it be that it is actually because Xie Chongning discovered that the emperor is his father-killing enemy?

If this is really the case, Mu Yu is even more embarrassed, she doesn't know how to persuade Xie Chongning, but she knows that the ending of Xie Chongning's rebellion is a tragedy, and she doesn't want Xie Chongning to die.

"Brother Xie, in fact, there are many ways to seek justice for the Xie family." She said tentatively.

In Xie Chongning's eyes, Mu Yu's overwhelmed appearance was particularly cute, his big ghost eyes were spinning, he didn't know what he thought of, but he wanted to test himself with a weak heart.

A smile was dyed on his handsome cheeks, and he sang a bad word against Mu Yu, "Really? But I think the road is still easy to follow. ”

"Brother Xie!" Mu Yu was shocked, could it be that Xie Chongning was ready to make a desperate bet? "Brother Xie, after so many years of the Xie family's affairs back then, you still need to investigate carefully, don't be used by villains, maybe the cabinet is obstructing it?"

Xie Chongning cupped his chin lightly on the surface, and understood this girl's misunderstanding in his heart.

"So you know that my enemy is the emperor?"

Mu Yu's hands and feet were cold and he didn't dare to move, staring at Xie Chongning with an evil smile on his face, as if the blood in his body was beginning to flow backwards, Xie Chongning really already knew?

"Brother Xie, when did you find out?" She felt that what she said was wrong, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, Brother Xie's affairs were strange in the Xie family back then, you must investigate carefully, maybe this matter was not done by Xuanhu Neiwei." ”

"Xuanhu Internal Guard?" Xie Chongning thought that all this was imagined by this girl, but she even knew about Xuanhu's internal guard.

Under Xie Chongning's sharp eyes, Mu Yu nervously found that he was talking a lot of mistakes in a panic, and the more he said, the more wrong he became, so he could only lower his head and wring the sleeves of his palms, not daring to say more.

"There is even something about the Xuanhu Inner Guard, who told you all this?" Xie Chongning saw her shrinking her neck, like a little mouse hiding in a hole, and he found it even more interesting.

Mu Yu gritted his teeth, he said everything he shouldn't have said, and there was nothing that his father couldn't explain about his father's investigation back then, it was his father. ”

"Oh?" Xie Chongning showed great interest.

"Father, he went to investigate after the accident at your house, and when he visited for the second time, he found the waist card of the Xuanhu internal guard on the table of the Xie family, and after that time, the Xie family was burned by a fire."

Xie Chongning nodded gracefully, "That's what your father told you?" ”

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Yu turned his head slightly and asked cautiously.

The affairs of the Xie family, Xie Chongning, with the help of the emperor, had already been investigated, but at the beginning, he and the emperor had only suspected the cabinet, but there was no clue, and this matter had to be shelved, but today when he heard Mu Yu say this, he seemed to have a new clue.

"No problem." Xie Chongning gradually retracted his smile, "Don't worry, it's not the emperor who destroyed the Xie family, and what you are worried about will not happen." ”

Mu Yu smiled in surprise, and retracted his smile embarrassedly, "That's because I thought too much, so Brother Xie was reduced." ”

So she was thinking about something just now, Xie Chongning had already found out that the emperor was not his enemy, but she herself thought about it for a long time and made such a big joke.
