After Min Erlang and Min Shilang left, Mu Bichuan took Mu Biwei to the backyard, opened a room and sighed: "Daddy has been worried since he returned to Ye, even if he will be absent-minded with the car, so although this other industry has been given, it has not been cleaned up much, although it is a study, there is also a couch in the room, Daddy and I have no intention of reading here, no one has used the couch, the bedding on it is new, you can rest for a while." ”

Mu Biwei shook her head, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to Mu Bichuan, saying, "This eldest brother will take it first." ”

"What is this?" Mu Bichuan took it and estimated the amount and knew that it was an empty bottle, and he didn't feel surprised.

"According to what Nie Yuansheng said, the poison in me is extremely powerful, although Ah Shan is lighter, but he also has a worry about his life!" Speaking of this, Mu Biwei looked mournful, and then continued, "At that time, the situation was critical, and I had already ...... I was in a coma, and in order to save me and not be mistaken for having an affair with him, Nie Yuansheng took me into the West Pole Mountain and hid it in secrecy. Although Nie Yuansheng is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Linyi County, the title is not inherited by him, and secondly, his parents died early, and he was raised by his uncle for several years, I think he may not have much savings, and this medicine is probably still left by the Linyi County Office. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Bichuan already understood what she meant, and nodded solemnly: "Nie Shilang has never had a grudge with our family, the last time the court discussed, thanks to his kind words, this time I saved your life again, I only have one sister in you, such a great kindness, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely repay it!" ”

Although Mu Biwei was also extremely grateful to Nie Yuansheng in her heart, she also knew that Nie Yuansheng was cunning, and her brother, whether it was the eldest brother or the cousin, was much more loyal than Nie Yuansheng, but she didn't want Mu Bichuan to be trapped by Nie Yuansheng because of this, she hurriedly said: "I received this favor, naturally I should pay it back myself, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much......

"What are these words?" Mu Bichuan is a stubborn sex. Son, he has always loved his sister, even if Mu Biwei has the act of acting on behalf of Mu Bichuan, Mu Bichuan usually does not care, but what he has determined is not allowed to be disobeyed, just like the previous decision to propose to the He family, he reproached at the moment, "The grace of humanity is still reciprocated, not to mention the grace of saving lives?!" What's more, Nie Yuansheng saved you, don't you have no relatives and no reason? Daddy is just one of your daughters, our pastoral family has three generations, only one daughter, you entered the palace with Daddy for me, even my grandmother in the family has felt extremely guilty about you, if something happens in the palace again, how can I deal with myself? He saved you, and if you have a great kindness to my pastoral family, even my grandmother and Daddy are here, and they say so categorically! It's one thing for you to repay yourself, but how can you pretend that you don't know anything? Isn't this the way to be a human being? ”

Mu Biwei also knows that her eldest brother is a person, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she was deliberately connived at by Min Rugai, in order to cultivate an arrogant and brutal atmosphere, so as not to suffer a loss in the hands of the Xu family, she dare not say it, the doting of the elders, so that there are almost no people in the generation who dare to compete with her, so she has not been afraid of anything since she was a child, but she has a headache Mu Bichuan's sex. Son, now seeing that he was really thinking about how to repay Nie Yuansheng, he suddenly regretted it in his heart, and then comforted himself, since Nie Yuansheng saved himself with the elixir, he would not harm Mu Bichuan in the future.

I also heard Mu Bichuan say sadly, "It's just that Nie Shilang does such chivalrous things, but we can't make a noise, not to mention that now he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, even though Daddy is the Qing capital Yin, and his grade is far above it, but His Majesty rarely comes to the court, and political affairs are handled by the prime ministers...... But there is no way to repay. ”

"Eldest brother, it's better to find out the source of this medicine and try to return another bottle with Nie Yuansheng." Mu Bi coughed slightly and said, "I don't think there are too many such things." ”

"This medicine must be rare, but I hope we have this opportunity." Mu Bichuan solemnly put away the porcelain vase and said, but his tone was quite confident, Mu Bi noticed it slightly, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of what Fang Xianren said before, so he asked again: "Big brother, how is the power of our Mu family in the northwest?" ”

Mu Bichuan didn't expect her to ask such a sentence, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "What are you asking for?" ”

This kind of thing, only Mu Bichuan has always been qualified to know, Mu Biwei is a girl, it is no longer appropriate to ask, but Mu Bichuan is ashamed of her, and he has always doted on her, so he doesn't care.

"Before the spring hunt, Fang Xianren of Jique Palace looked for me, and mentioned to me her sister, Fang Danyan, the palace maid who served in the Empress Dowager's palace in the past, and said that she wanted to find a suitable family affair for Fang Danyan in the northwest, although I and Fang Xianren did not have a grudge, but His Majesty was dissatisfied with the two Tsing Yi who were put in the Xuanshu Hall by the Queen Mother before, and when they were driven away, they were stopped by Fang Xianren, and Fang Xianren was very attacked at that time." Mu Biwei said, "The two Tsing Yi were driven away, but I have something to do with it - the most important thing is that the sage Fang also came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, and when I heard that the Queen Mother was still the queen, I went to Guiluo Palace to serve." ”

Mu Bichuan frowned for a moment, and then pondered: "I heard Daddy say that the ancestors of the Mu family were ordered by Emperor Wei to guard the northwest in the previous dynasty, in order to show their determination, they brought their families together, and their children grew up and married locally, so the Northwest Mu family, if there was no soft thing before the death of Wei, it can almost be regarded as a family now, in the more than ten years of chaos in the world before the death of the former Wei Dynasty, our grandfather supported Emperor Gaozu with the three thousand Mujia army in his hands, so there was the support of the royal family of Gaozu and the first emperor of the two dynasties. ”

He said vaguely, but Mu Biwei also heard it: "In this way, although our family is thin now, in the northwest, there are still some foundations?" ”

"It's just that when guarding the border, the military orders are faster, there are fewer people to deceive underneath, and there are more people available." Mu Bichuan thought about it for a while, and felt that Fang Xianren's move was indeed suspected of spying on the Mu family's power on the orders of the Queen Mother, he was afraid that Mu Biwei would miscalculate, and he would not make a mistake in the palace in the future, so he felt that he might as well say it more thoroughly, so he explained in detail at the moment, "Back then, our great-grandfather and above elders and other people in the room were all killed in battle under the Snow Blue Pass, and the generals were rarely lucky, so to say that the foundation in the northwest, in addition to the name, was still the three thousand Ye family troops who followed their grandfather to stay in the Ye capital, although many of them died in the war, But they are all natives of the Northwest, Northwest relatives and clans, today's military households are almost all their descendants or relatives, my ancestors have always treated soldiers well, this word of mouth is still the case in this dynasty, so compared to Ni Zhen and Qu Jia, although Daddy was young when he invited himself to the side, he did take advantage of it. ”

Mu Bi groaned slightly, when the Mu family was ordered by Emperor Shenwu of Wei to gallop into Yedu in the starry night to support the young emperor to ascend the throne, but Rouran took the opportunity to attack, forcing the Mu family to divide their troops, great-grandfather Mu Chi, grandfather Mu Xun continued to rush to Yedu, and the rest of the people returned to save the northwest, but the chaos in the Wei room was early, the error was one day, and the young emperor died - in this case, Mu Chi and Mu Xunjing were embarrassed, and they could only save the little princess of Emperor Shenwu from the messy Wei room to talk about personnel, which is now Concubine Wen.

The three thousand Mu family troops were originally left to Mu Xun when Mu Chi returned to save Xuelan Pass, and the excuse at that time may have been used to suppress the chaos in Yedu, but in fact, a large part of it was to protect Concubine Wen.

After all, the Mu family has been loyal and good for generations, and before the death of Emperor Wei Shenwu, he specially entrusted the young emperor with Sheji, but he didn't want to make the only heir of Emperor Shenwu die in the chaos of the royal family because he was one step late, although the princess could not ascend the throne, but for the Mu family, in the end, it was also a matter of trying her best to preserve the bloodline for Emperor Shenwu.

- Emperor Wu of Wei is wise and resolute, and he is a rare Ming monarch in the last years of the former Wei Dynasty, but it is a pity that the sky is not a holiday, which is also the exhaustion of the former Wei Dynasty...... Before he died, he also knew that his young son could not suppress the ambitions of the rest of the royal family, so he urgently ordered the Mujia army to enter the Ye capital to protect the young emperor to ascend the throne, and this point, the Mu family will not be unaware, but there is Rouran in the northwest, and the army cannot move, so those who rush to Yedu must be part of the elite!

Later, Mu Chi returned to Xue Lan, and the one left for Mu Xun to protect Concubine Wen was naturally also an elite soldier.

These 3,000 soldiers and horses want to protect a princess who can't inherit the throne at all, or a little princess who is not famous, it is actually not difficult in the troubled times, after all, although Rouran took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to seize the two passes of choking clouds and recklessness, but the snow blue pass was finally held, and the foundation of the Mu family in the northwest was still there at that time...... But why, Concubine Wen later grew up under the knees of Gaozu, and even became the side concubine when the first emperor was king?

Mu Biwei's face gradually became solemn - Concubine Wen is the biological mother of King Gaoyang, King Gaoyang is the youngest son of the first emperor and a concubine, reasoning, there are three brothers-in-law in front, Ji Shen is still the prince personally designated by Liang Gaozu, and now he has been on the throne for five years...... Empress Dowager Gao's own family is powerful, so what else is there to worry about?

However, since Mu Chi left Mu Xun and three thousand elites to protect the young Concubine Wen, he must have seen the urgency of the Wei family at that time, and the three thousand Mu family troops ...... Although Mu Biwei has never been on the battlefield, but since the young Mu Qi stayed in Yedu, the old staff of the old department explained some of the art of war to Mu Bichuan, speaking of actual combat, try to cite the elite of the Mu family army in the late Wei Dynasty as an example, the three thousand Mu family army is enough to destroy the city - although it is a small city.

At that time, Mu Biwei had listened to some of them, and she vaguely guessed that the great ancestor left these 3,000 people back then, and he may not have seen the bad situation and let Mu Xun take Concubine Wen back to the northwest! After all, at that time, the Snow Blue Pass had not been broken, and the Mu clan had not yet been slaughtered, although Rouran took advantage of the weakness to enter, but the Mu family had been operating in the northwest for several generations, and no one expected to lose so badly!

As for why he didn't take Concubine Wen away immediately, this is also because she is a woman, but she is always the daughter of the clan, the only surviving bloodline of Emperor Wei Shenwu at that time, no matter how much the Mu family is trusted by Emperor Wei Shenwu, it is impossible to take the princess away from the scope of the royal family at will - Xie Yu also said that when the Wei family was in the most chaotic situation, Mu Xun asked Ji Jing to take Concubine Wen to live temporarily in the Huangzhuang outside the Yedu, using the excuse of being sick and avoiding illness. Mu Xun is unwilling to easily take the reputation of the princess hostage, after all, at that time, the Mu family was prosperous, and there were several generations of descendants, Mu Xun wanted to be loyal to Emperor Wei Shenwu, but he also wanted to try to keep the reputation of the Mu family.

Mu Biwei raised her head and said cautiously: "How many people in the northwest know the identity of Concubine Wen?" ”
