Ahead, the chilly blade was approaching Mu Yan, Mu Yan smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup in his hand, and threw it at one of the blue-clothed youths.

The teacup was filled with freshly boiled hot water, and hot white gas rose in mid-air.

The young man in blue could only change the split to sweep, and swept the teacup in mid-air heavily......

"Bang!"

The tea cup that flew out fell to the ground two feet away, and the tea and countless broken porcelain pieces splashed.

At the same time, Mu Yan propped himself on the back of the chair with one hand and flew over the chair, and the long knife in the hand of another brown-clothed young man happened to cut through Mu Yan's wide sleeve, and the cold and shining blade slashed heavily on the back of the chair.

A piece of dark sleeve that had been cut off by the blade was blown by the cold wind, fluttering in the air.

Mu Yan's eyes flashed, he was not a person who sat still, and kicked out the back of the chair with a kick, and the back of the chair hit the blade, but instead hit the brown-clothed young man and staggered back.

Mu Yan seized this short gap, his figure flashed, he approached the other party like a ghost, and unloaded the opponent's wrist joint mercilessly with one palm.

With a "bang", the long knife in the hand of the brown-clothed young man came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

The forbidden troops guarding both sides of the square surrounded as fast as they could, trying to escort them, but they were far away, and their reaction was inevitably a step slower.

Several other winners of the nearby martial arts also drew their swords one after another, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. There were many of them, and the two Assassins missed the best opportunity after failing to strike a single blow, and they were no match for everyone at all.

In just three or two strokes, the two assassins were subdued by the crowd.

At this time, Duanmu Fei finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, and she wanted to move forward, but was stopped by the forbidden army with a spear.

Seeing that the two assassins had been subdued, Duanmu Fei didn't continue to move forward, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Duanmujun gently patted Duanmufei's back and gave her a reassuring smile, meaning, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Ah Yan, it's okay.

The two assassins were escorted to Mu Yan by the forbidden army and knelt on the ground in embarrassment.

Both of them were pale and their eyes were gloomy.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two of them planned to bite through the poison sac hidden in their teeth, but in the next moment, two sweat towels were forcefully stuffed into their mouths, and their teeth could no longer be bitten.

The faces of the two were even paler, and their faces were bloodless.

A forbidden military lieutenant hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said coldly: "Want to kill yourself? It's not that easy! ”

The Forbidden Army Captain looked at the two assassins with hatred in his heart.

Fortunately, the Regent is extraordinary, and it is not something that these rats can hurt, otherwise if the Regent is injured a little, the forbidden army they are responsible for guarding today will not be able to atone for their sins!

Thankfully, there was no danger.

Mu Yan waved his hand and said lightly: "Drag people down." ”

"Yes, Lord Regent!" The Forbidden Captain hurriedly clenched his fists and ordered his subordinates to drag the two assassins down.

The people around them were still a little frightened, but gradually, they became excited again, discussing the assassination just now, some scolded the assassin for his heart, some praised the regent's extraordinary skills, some praised the winners of today's military selection were all young and talented, and some were eager to try, and they just wanted to go home now and tell their relatives and friends about today's events.

At the same time, a few chamberlains cleaned and cleaned up, and after a while, the surroundings were cleaned up, the chairs were straightened again, and the tea was re-served, as if the accident had never happened at all.

The award ceremony continued.

The sixth batch, which is the last batch of martial arts selection winners today, also stepped forward to salute Mu Yan under the guidance of the chamberlain, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: I thought that after this assassination of Fang Cai, the regent was afraid that he would not be in the mood to continue this award ceremony, and they could only consider themselves unlucky, but they didn't expect that the regent didn't care at all.

Also, the regent is the one who led the troops to defeat Nanhuai, how can he be compared to an ordinary emperor!

Those martial arts selection winners all looked at Mu Yan with respectful expressions, and their blood boiled one by one. Follow such a young and promising Mingjun, as long as they have the strength and ability, they are not afraid that they will not be able to build a career!

After the last batch of martial arts winners were rewarded, they also thanked and retired.

This concludes today's award ceremony.

Mu Yan stood up, casually dusted off the gowns on his body, and was about to turn around to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a familiar figure in front of him.

Vera!

Mu Yan's phoenix eyes lit up immediately.

The soldiers beside Mu Yan immediately noticed Mu Yan's gaze smartly, and they also knew that their son-in-law was thinking about the fourth girl in Nan's arms.

The pro-soldiers were very interested, and walked quickly towards Duanmufei, signaling the forbidden army to release them.

"Fourth girl, please."

The soldiers politely stretched out their hands to Duanmu Fei to make a petition, led her to the Chengtianmen Tower, and then retreated with interest.

"Vera!"

Mu Yan's heart was full of joy, his eyebrows were shining with a smile, and he grabbed Duanmu Fei's hand.

Duanmu Fei eagerly looked at his missing right sleeve, "Your hand ......"

"My hands are fine." Mu Yan was afraid that Duanmu Fei would be worried, so he hurriedly raised his sleeve a few inches to show her, "It's just that someone has cut off a piece of the sleeve, you see, there is no injury at all." That little thief can't hurt me! He winked triumphantly at Duanmu Fei with his right eye.

His wheat-colored right wrist was smooth and unscathed.

Duanmu Fei looked at Mu Yan's right wrist over and over again, and then he was relieved.

Mu Yan was very useful in his heart, leaned his head into her ear, and whispered, "It was deliberate." ”

Since those Nanhuai's spies wanted to use Wu Xuan to their side, Mu Yan simply pushed the boat down the river and used Wu Xuan to lure people out.

Duanmu Fei immediately understood and understood.

This is the trap.

Duanmu smiled with crooked lips, smiling like a crescent moon. Mu Yan is fine.

The soldier not far away saw Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei both smiling, and thought smugly: Fortunately, he was quick and brought the four girls over.

Duanmu Fei let go of Mu Yan's hand with peace of mind, and said with a smile: "My sister and cousin Hanxing are still waiting for me, I'll go first." ”

"......" Mu Yan's face almost didn't fall, staring at Duanmu Fei pitifully.

It's rare for Zhen Zhen to come to see him, but he's still busy. Nasty, really nasty.

Mu Yan was like a big dog about to be abandoned by his master, with a pair of phoenix eyes flickering.

Duanmu held back a smile, stood on tiptoe and gently rubbed the top of Mu Yan's head to show comfort.

Mu Yan could only order the personal soldier to send Duanmu Fei back.

Duanmujun and Hanxing are searching for Duanmufei's traces in the crowd.

Duanmufei walked too fast, Duanmujun just turned his head and said a few words to Hanxing, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his sister was gone.

Duanmujun and Hanxing were in a hurry, and they were relieved until now when they saw Duanmufei being sent back by their own soldiers.

"Zhenzhen, you're scared me to death!" Duanmujun grabbed Duanmufei's little hand and said, "If you go away, at least talk to me." ”

"You don't want to think about how dangerous it was just now, wouldn't it be dangerous if there were other assassins hiding in the crowd?"

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, you yourself often say, how to get to your own head, you can't learn well!"

“……”

Duanmu chattered non-stop.

Duanmu Fei obediently listened to the training, like a well-behaved cat.

Scarlet cousin is really pitiful! Han Xing looked at Duanmu Fei with a sympathetic expression.

Han Xing cleared his throat and kindly diverted Duanmujun's attention: "Cousin Jun, I'm hungry, let's go back." ”

Duanmu Fei hurriedly proposed: "Cousin Hanxing, my house is close, just go to my house to eat." ”

Duanmufei's stomach was very cooperative, and there was a gurgling sound.

At this time, Duanmujun couldn't take care of his sister, for fear of starving his sister, so he hurriedly said, "Let's go back." ”

After the three of them got into the carriage, Duanmufei ate the pastries deliciously, and Duanmujun peeled chestnuts for her.

ate all the way, and when Duanmu Fei returned to Duanmu Mansion, she was already half full.

After Hanxing had lunch, he didn't rush to leave, and stayed in Duanmu Mansion to play shuttlecock kicking with Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun.

The three of them happily played until Shen Chu, and Li Tingyou came to pick up Hanxing and return home.

"Shall we just have dinner with my grandfather and then leave?" Han Xing smiled and left Li Tingyou behind, "I haven't seen my grandfather in this palace for a long time." ”

Duanmu Fei glanced at Han Xing, saw her intentions at a glance, and said bluntly: "You want to ask your grandfather about the assassination of Chengtianmen, right?" ”

was told by Duanmu Fei about his intentions, Han Xing was not embarrassed, and said confidently: "Isn't this palace by the way!" ”

Zhihan Xingru Li Tingyu immediately heard a little implication, "Won't you also go to Chengtianmen in the morning?" ”

Han Xingjiao responded squeamishly: "It was thrilling at that time!" Fortunately, Cousin Yan was sharp enough to not let the traitor succeed. It's a pity that you're not there, you didn't see it. ”

Li Tingyou hooked his lips and smiled, "I'm not there, but it doesn't mean I don't know what's going on......"

Han Xingdeng's eyes lit up, and he eagerly pulled Li Tingyou's sleeve and asked, "Speak quickly!" Don't sell it! ”

Duanmu Fei also stared at Li Tingyou with burning eyes, with a curious expression.

Li Tingyou didn't dare to whet the appetite of the two cousins, and said obediently: "The two assassins who were captured were interrogated by Jin Wuwei, and they were spies sent by Yuan Nanhuai. ”

"A while ago, Jinyiwei caught a group of Nanhuai spies, and after interrogation, it was found that there were still fish lurking in Beijing. And sure enough, they took the bait! ”

Han Xing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was filled with righteous indignation, and his little face was red with anger.

"These Nanhuai people are really thieves! They deserve to be caught in the net! Hanxing said through gritted teeth.

"That Nanhuai puppet king Suna is also short-sighted, thinking that if the thief captures the king first, as long as he kills Ah Yan, he can tear Dasheng apart, and then they can recapture Nanhuai ......without much effort," Li Tingyou said disapprovingly. Suna is too underestimated!

"What's Suna Drifting Isn't Beautiful?" Han Xing asked curiously.

Without waiting for Li Tingyou to answer, she asked herself: "It's probably because she doesn't look good, otherwise she wouldn't have robbed a married man to get married." ”

"......" Li Tingyou looked at Han Xing indescribably. This girl's focus is really unique.

Duanmu couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Han Xing leaned closer to Li Tingyou and asked again, "Is she beautiful or not?" ”

Li Tingyou shook his head honestly: "I haven't seen it." ”

Li Tingyou originally thought that this topic should end here, but who would think that Hanxing immediately threw out the next question: "Do you want to see it?" ”

"......" Li Tingyou was silent, he always felt that this was a death question, and it was better not to answer.

Han Xing tilted his head and said to himself: "Cousin Yan should have seen that Suna...... she reminded: "Cousin Scarlet, next time you remember to ask Cousin Yan if Suna is good-looking." ”

"No problem." Duanmu Scarlet responded happily.

"......" Li Tingyou looked at the cousins silently, picked up the tea cup, and said to himself in his heart that it had nothing to do with him, he didn't know anything.

Han Xing leaned over and bit Duanmu's ears:

"Scarlet cousin, this palace has never seen Nanhuai people before!"

"I remember hearing that they had dark skin, high noses, and deep eye sockets......

"Oops, everything happened so fast this morning, Hongu didn't even pay attention to their appearance, just remember that the skin is a little dark......"

Duanmu Fei thought back to the appearance of the two assassins in the morning and the merchant named David Luo before, and shook his head: "Not necessarily. I've seen a Nanhuai person before, and he doesn't look dark. ”

"Anyway, if you ask Cousin Yan, you won't know." Han Xing nodded again and again, "Look at the men in Nanhuai are all fierce and vicious, it is estimated that women can't see anywhere!" ”

"Ahh

Mu Yan covered his mouth and sneezed heavily. He had long since lost the morning tiara, and had changed to a dark striped straight jacket.

There is a charcoal basin lit in the house, which is as warm as spring.

Cen Yin closed the window next to him and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want someone to cook you a bowl of ginger soup?" ”

When the little scorpion heard that he was going to withdraw and prepare ginger soup for Mu Yan, he walked to the door curtain and heard the cheeky regent say casually: "It's okay, it's okay." Vera must be thinking about me. ”

Mu Yan said with great interest: "Big brother, you didn't see it today, Zhen Zhen is worried and nervous!" ”

"Zhen Zhen also pulled my sleeve and looked at my wrist over and over again, for fear that I was hurt."

"Vera is so nice to me......"

Mu Yan bragged endlessly, and only his voice was left in the study.

"......" Cen Yin looked at Mu Yan speechlessly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The little scorpion stopped even more speechlessly, feeling some sympathy for his own overseer.

Mu Yan said these words, the little scorpion could almost recite them, and Mu Yan had already said it to Cen Yin several times.

Cen Yin naturally cut off Mu Yan's words, and then turned the topic back to Huaizhou: "Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang have done a good job recently......

Cen Yin said as he picked up the flying pigeon biography from Huaizhou on the small square table.

At the beginning of Huaizhou, Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang were a little in a hurry, taking care of the head and tail, and now, more than half a year has passed, and various matters in Huaizhou have been settled more properly.

Suna's side was still restless, and declared war on Dasheng several times, but Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang ignored it, only focusing on rectifying internal affairs, and temporarily suppressed most of the tribes in Huaizhou through coercion and temptation.

Except for the few tribes who initially turned to Suna, the other tribes have settled down.

The overall situation of Huaizhou has been decided, so the momentum of Suna and Yuan Nanhuai has been suppressed, and her declaration of war seems unreasonable, and gradually, the clamor of the people has decreased.

Even if Suna fooled some fools with the identity of the so-called "holy daughter" of the Holy Fire Sect, as long as she did not have the support of various tribes, she would not be able to make too many waves.

There is no need to be afraid of such a little turmoil in Huaizhou.

Mu Yan's thoughts turned back to business, and his right hand formed a fist and casually knocked twice on the square table, "Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang are actually quite capable, as long as they are given a chance to practice." ”

"Huaizhou is a good place." Cen Yin put down the flying pigeon biography in his hand again, and his deep eyes shone with a meaningful light.

"That's not it." Mu Yan blinked his right eye at Cen Yin, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, why would anyone want to 'rush' over?!" ”

Cen Yin raised his glass, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Mu Yan with a cup, and Mu Yan also returned the salute with tea.

The two smiled tacitly, and everything was silent.

The sky outside the window was overcast, and light snow was falling in the air, and it was hazy outside.

Cen Yin looked at the fluttering snow through the window, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After Mu Yan put down the teacup, he smiled and turned the conversation back to Duanmu Fei, and said, "Big brother, you said that I was frightened today, what should I do to make her happy?" ”

"Hey, Zhen Zhen is so worried about me, although I am happy, but I also feel distressed."

Listening to Mu Yan's cliché again, buzzing like a bee, the little scorpion pursed his lips speechlessly, and his brain was empty.

Cen Yin pulled the corners of his mouth, and tried to continue to correct the topic: "Ah Yan, it's time for the Sun family's affairs to end." If it drags on any longer, it is inevitable that people will panic. ”

"It's time to wrap it up." Mu Yan bowed his head and exchanged a mutually understanding look with Cen Yin.

The snow outside the window gradually became heavier, and a goose feather snow fell again.

So, on the seventeenth day of the lunar month, an edict was issued in the name of the regent.

In the edict, not only did he sentence a cadre of the original Nanhuai spies to be decided, but also dealt with the Sun family.

The Sun family was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and committing the crime of fine work, and all the men over the age of seven were beheaded, and the rest were exiled for 3,000 li, and the Sun family branch was enslaved and exiled.

and the daughters of the Sun family have also been criminalized, including the girls of the Sun family who have been married, but all those involved in passing the news to the Sun family will be charged with the crime of treason, engraved on the face, and exiled into slavery. All the uncles of the Sun family who were involved in the spread of the news, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were all exiled into slavery.

The Sun family is equivalent to being served in a pot, and it is simply neat.

Xu Mingzhen got the news as soon as others did, and it was Mu Yan who deliberately asked Luofeng to go to Xu's mansion to deliver him a message: "Old lady Xu, Miss Xu has been sentenced to slavery and exile. ”

Xu Mingzhen sighed faintly, and also asked Luofeng to send a message to Mu Yan: "You tell your son-in-law that Xu Xiyu is dead, and the Xu family has already done a funeral." ”

Since then, there is no such person in the Xu family, since Xu Xiyu is willing to work for the Sun family, then she will be surnamed "Sun".

Seeing that Xu Mingzhen understood it, Luofeng was relieved and went back to his life as he said.

The Xu family put aside the previous haze and returned to a peaceful life.

In contrast, the Sun family's verdict frightened many mansions in Beijing.

The Sun family's case is widely implicated, and it is the most widely implicated case in recent years.

Most people didn't know until this moment that the adopted daughters of the Sun family were also involved in the rebellion case, and many "aunts" who accepted the adopted daughters of the Sun family were implicated because of this, and at least a dozen people in the mansion were more or less punished for this.

On the other hand, most of the prefectures were relieved, feeling that Mu Yan was gracious and did not implicate the whole family because of one person's fault.

There is a saying that once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of grass ropes for ten years. As a result, many mansions have also become vigilant, and the elders in the family have taught the younger generations that their children and grandchildren should take fewer concubines in the future, so as not to be affected by the unobtrusive concubine room.

In just a few days, the atmosphere in Beijing has become much more solemn, and even the business of those Qinglou Chu Pavilions has become cold.

In Duanmu Mansion, Duanmu Xian also sighed a little with Duanmu Heng because of the Sun family:

"It's still the family rules of the Chu family, and only children and grandchildren who have no children can take concubines."

"In order to have more children and more blessings, the world accepts concubines, if the house is restless, it is also the foundation of the chaotic family."

"Like Yongchang Bofu, in the past five or six years, several children have been folded in the mansion, just for the sake of a few titles."

"There is also Li Jingtang in the Ministry of Industry Langzhong is young, he has a bright future, and he has long been intended as the future candidate for the waiter, but unfortunately, because of the dispute between his wife and concubine in the family, his father-in-law's family also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to make trouble, which made rumors spread, he has no intention of political affairs, and frequently makes mistakes, and next year's evaluation is afraid that it will be dangerous."

Duanmu Xian was also embarrassed when he said it.

He was originally quite optimistic about Li Jingtang, but he didn't expect the other party to be ruined in the restlessness of the house.

Outside the window, there are still snowflakes, the snow has not stopped all night since yesterday, and it has been falling until now, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and it is white outside.

Although there were two charcoal basins lit in the study, Duanmufei still felt cold, and put the little fox on his lap as a hand warmer, covering his legs and hands.

The little fox yawned lazily and curled up peacefully on Duanmufei's lap.

Duanmu Fei was also yawning, and she was not at all interested in the topic that her grandfather was talking about, she leisurely peeled pine nuts and ate them, and occasionally stuffed a few pine nuts for the little fox to eat.

Duanmu Heng put down the teacup, looked at Duanmu Xian with a solemn face, and said with a straight face: "Grandfather, I don't plan to take a concubine." ”

Duanmu Xian stroked his beard and nodded, sighing, "The harmony between your husband and wife is the most important thing. ”

Duanmu Xian didn't plan to meddle in his grandson's back house, anyway, the incense of the Duanmu family has already been continued, and the next thing is their own business.

Duanmu Xian is not worried about the eldest grandson, the person he is really worried about is the future fourth grandson-in-law.

Duanmuxian picked up the teacup at hand, and somewhat absentmindedly used the tea lid to remove the floating leaves floating on the tea soup, wondering: Should he let the historian record the beginning and end of the decline and fall of the Sun family, and then send a few more copies to Mu Yan, and then find someone to read more and "remind" Mu Yan.

But wouldn't that be too deliberate?

Duanmuxian quickly vetoed this idea in his heart, didn't stop in his hand, sent the teacup to his lips, and had another idea: Princess Anping seems to like to watch dramas, or he simply finds someone to compile the affairs of the Sun family into a playbook, and then find an opportunity to let the troupe go to the princess's mansion to sing, and let Anping stare at Mu Yan a little?

Duanmuxian's thinking diverged, and he couldn't help but start thinking about some mess.

Suddenly, the little fox curled up on Duanmu's knees raised his head vigilantly and glanced in the direction of the curtain.

Before the others could react, they saw a white shadow flash, and the little fox jumped down from Duanmufei's knees, and in the blink of an eye, he hid in the large vase on the floor in the corner.

All this happened so fast that the three grandparents and grandchildren in the study couldn't help but look at each other, and there was silence around them.

In the next moment, they had the answer.

The brocade curtain embroidered with broken branches and red plums was rudely lifted from the outside, and a shadow wrapped in a bright red cloak rushed in.

"Scarlet cousin, you come with this palace!"

Han Xing grabbed one of Duanmu Fei's hands, and didn't say hello to Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng, so he directly pulled Duanmu Fei away in a hurry.

She blew like a gust of wind, and like a gust of wind swept away, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

All that was left was the curtain shaking in mid-air.
