They had already gotten the news that the mountain bandits around the capital were rampant, and Mu Yu was mentally prepared, but when she saw the real scene, she couldn't help but sneer.

Now this scene around the capital is really not far behind compared to the chaos of the epidemic in the south before.

Many people wore clothes that could not avoid the cold, holding broken porcelain pieces in their hands that they didn't know where to pick up, squatting on the official road at the city gate, waiting for people passing by, kindly giving some alms.

Some of them, their shoes were tattered, revealing their blackened feet, and their eyes were full of despair.

She lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage, and the howling cold wind blew into the carriage, but the cold was much worse than the cold in her heart, "What is the purpose of this Flying Eagle Gang?" I also thought at first that they might be a group of people who were forced to helpless, so they chose to embark on this road of no return. ”

But now it seems that this is not just a point of no return, they want the people of the world to suffer with them! And what is the father's intention to cooperate with these people?

"Don't look at it." Xie Chongning couldn't bear to see her frowning like this, embarrassed himself, and pulled down the curtain of the carriage.

"I just don't understand." Mu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Now that the people are so poor, who will benefit?" Could it be that the Flying Eagle Gang, in order to achieve their own goals, really disregard everyone's lives like this? ”

"One will make ten thousand bones wither." Xie Chongning sighed.

The two of them arrived at the gate of the capital as low-key as possible, Mu Yu deliberately put two black moles on his face and put on a gray-yellow cotton and linen dress, and Xie Chongning also stuck an ugly beard because of his handsome face, which concealed the outline of his facial features.

Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning's outfit, turned his head and laughed, "I've never seen you like this, it turns out that as long as you cover your face, it's just like that!" ”

Xie Chongning smiled warmly at her, "You're still just as beautiful." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Mu Yu's face suddenly stiffened, why is this joke suddenly not funny? How did this heart beat so fast?

She secretly covered the position of her chest, afraid that in this cramped space, there was a violent beating sound of her heart "bumping".

"Sir, Madame, it's our turn!" The coachman outside the carriage knocked on the outer wall of the carriage, "Mr. and Mrs., please get off the carriage." ”

Xie Chongning lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage without believing it, turned around and stretched out a pair of big hands to Mu Yu for her to hold.

Mu Yu looked up at the towering city gate in front of him, sighed, and went around for so long to return to this place. Compared to being in Mucheng, she felt more depressed and uneasy.

She couldn't help but clench Xie Chongning's hand, Xie Chongning saw her nervousness, lowered her head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, since we have returned, this capital is definitely not what it was back then." ”

Mu Yu looked at the guards who carefully inspected the passing merchant in front of the door, and his eyes were a little firmer, "I believe in you, you must have the ability to change the current situation in the capital." ”

"Stop!" The guard glanced at Xie Chongning's beard, and a spear lay in front of the two of them, and began to ask, "What are you doing?" If you want to enter the city, is there a customs clearance document? ”

"Yes, yes." The groom carried the package on his back, walked forward quickly, and handed over the customs clearance document in his arms to the guard, "Our husband and wife are teaching in the countryside, isn't it not peaceful outside, so they came to the capital to join their relatives." ”

"Relatives? Who are your relatives? The guard glanced at the customs clearance document with disdain, and the seal on it was indeed true, and threw the customs clearance document back into the horseman's hand.

Mu Yu glanced at the guards, "The old king who sells tofu in the east of the city." ”

The guard frowned, this was not a famous person, he could know who that person was, and finally waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, everyone will come to the capital to recognize relatives." ”

The outside world is not peaceful, and the capital can be regarded as one of the few places within the law, and it is natural to come to the capital to avoid disasters.

Fang Xiao had already arranged their residence, although it was remote in the city, but fortunately, there were few people and it was secluded, and the two of them had less trouble being exposed.

"You're back." In the courtyard of the small building, Fang Xiao crossed Erlang's legs, sitting in the pavilion covered with snow, covered in snow-white fox fur, and the corners of his eyes seemed to have peach blossoms, which bloomed instantly the moment he saw the two of them.

"Tell me about the two of you, leave my brother and fly away, and leave me a mess! It's so uninteresting. ”

It's okay not to speak, a handsome boy doesn't know how many ignorant girls in the capital can charm, but how can he destroy the artistic conception so much?

Xie Chongning glanced at him coldly, "Isn't it cold?" ”

Although he was wearing fox fur, his fingers were already red, and he must have been waiting here for a long time.

Before Fang Xiao could answer, his body shivered honestly, "Of course it's cold, if you come back earlier, I wouldn't have to sit here and wait so long." ”

For the sake of concave shape, he complained about others, which is really a good villain to sue first.

Xie Chongning was too lazy to bother with him, so he pulled Mu Yu into the house, the yard was covered with snow, and he couldn't see why, but when he walked into this house, he felt completely different.

The room was isolated from the cold outside, warm but not hot, but Mu Yu looked around and did not find any heaters.

Her gaze gradually moved down to her feet, could it be floor heating? Can this ancient be so advanced?

Fang Xiao looked at Mu Yu's gaze, and couldn't help but say proudly, "Miss Mu has a good eye, she actually knows that the temperature of this house comes from the underground, you must know that this stuffy gourd around you is afraid that you will be cold......"

"Ahem!" Xie Chongning interrupted Fang Xiao's words and looked at him coldly, "When is it, still called Miss Mu?" Is it appropriate? ”

Fang Xiao pouted, "Sister-in-law? My name is sister-in-law, are you satisfied? ”

Mu Yu stared at Xie Chongning, who was expressionless, he deliberately interrupted Fang Xiao's words just now, I'm afraid it wasn't because he was shy, right?

"Thank you!" She smiled coyly and turned her gaze away.

"Sour!" Fang Xiao shook his head and walked through the two of them and walked into the room. "There are many eyes and ears around the emperor, and during this time, the emperor contacted you, and I passed the word on my behalf."

Xie Chongning glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Recently, you have also seen it around the capital, and I have already told the emperor about the Flying Eagle Gang, but the answer the emperor gave me was that I could only choose to stand still for the time being, I don't know what you think?"

"Same as the emperor." Qin Xu has just ascended the throne, his position is extremely unstable, whether it is military power or political power, he can't speak, and now he can only recuperate.

Fang Xiao got Xie Chongning's answer and nodded, "Okay, what I'm waiting for is your answer, since you have the same idea as the emperor, then I'll go back first, you husband and wife ......."

With a smile, his eyes wandered back and forth between Mu Yu and Xie Chongning a few times, "Reminisce about the old days, then I'll go first." ”

Mu Yu watched Fang Xiao leave with a dashing wave of his sleeves in a white fox fur, and a few big words suddenly flashed in his mind, "The tool man is offline......"

"Speaking of which, the emperor is really struggling today, a courtier with wolf ambition wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and an ambitious gang wants to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, which is really miserable."

Thinking about the current situation, she couldn't help but feel distressed for Qin Xu.

"Don't worry about him." Xie Chongning had a cold face and walked to the table with a brocade cloth, and there was a food box made of sandalwood on the table, "This morning, the osmanthus cake I sent someone to buy, didn't you say you wanted to eat it when you were in Mucheng?" Come and taste it, but what do you want? ”

Mu Yu was surprised, on Chinese New Year's Eve, she did casually mention the matter of osmanthus cake, but it was really casual, but she didn't expect Xie Chongning to keep it in her heart.

She walked quickly to the table, pinched up a piece of apricot-colored pastry, and her heart was hot, "It's delicious, it's still the same taste." ”

How many people can meet people who can always keep their preferences in mind, and who live for a lifetime? She was afraid that she had really cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes, and she would be able to get Xie Chongning's liking.

Xie Chongning saw that the little girl's face in front of him became fast, and he was smiling happily in the last second, but the end of his eyes suddenly moistened in the next second, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, "What's wrong?" Why do you still cry when it's delicious? ”

When did the man in front of him ever panic so much?

Mu Yu wiped his tears with the back of his hand casually, shook his head and laughed, "Because you are too good to me." ”

Xie Chongning looked at her in silence, "You think I'm good to you, but I don't think it's as good as one-tenth of what you do to me." ”

"Nothing." Mu Yu pursed her lips, she was just thinking about hugging Xie Chongning's thighs when she was young, where is it good?

"Yes." Xie Chongning smiled indifferently, watched Mu Yu eat the pastry in his hand, and immediately handed over another piece.

Since that day, Mu Heyun and Sun Xiaoquan have torn their faces, and there has been no peace in the early dynasty, either who participated in someone's book, or who privately found the emperor and said bad things about each other.

It's just that the two of them are like this, you and I are just talking about it, and there is no substantial harm to the other party at all, which is not the result that Qin Xu wants to see.

"Today, the mountain bandits around the capital are raging, do you have a solution?" Qin Xu put down the fold in his hand and looked at them decadently.

Although Sun Xiaoquan wants to control the emperor and empty the imperial power, he doesn't want the country to riot, and now such a bad thing has happened around the capital, and it should be dealt with.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that most of these mountain bandits are too many homeless people to survive, and in the end they have to go to a dead end, so it should be sparse and not blocked, we might as well send someone to communicate with them." Sun Xiaoquan took a step forward, "They have difficulties, let's talk about it, this mountain bandit is rampant, and it will naturally be easy to handle." ”
