When Wen Moqing and his entourage arrived at Dingyuan County, King Dingyuan was not in the mansion by chance, but another unexpected person was drinking tea and chatting with Bi Xiao.

"I knew that the two of you were coming back, I should have prepared some gifts, after all, Miss Yan has a different identity now." Jun Wunian shook his head regretfully.

Wen Moqing glanced at Jun Wunian, who was empty-handed, and was quite dissatisfied: "The innocent prince who doesn't take care of you, what are you doing here?" If you come to give gifts, don't take it out if it's less than 180,000 taels. ”

"If you don't pay back the money, you're embarrassed to ask for a gift, and only your iron rooster can do it." Jun Wunian smiled dumbly, looked at Yan Liwu and pretended to sigh, "Miss Yan can think twice if she wants to marry Mo Qing, he is such a dime and a dime, maybe he will not even be willing to buy you clothes and jewelry in the future, it is better to find a big family to marry, at least you can eat and drink spicy food - Mo Qing, this is in your house, how to talk about you when you are seen by your subordinates?" ”

Wen Moqing drew his sword neatly and crisply, but the sharp tip of the sword only touched Jun Wunian's shirt, and he cut the tie of the money bag and took it back.

Hooked the money bag and glanced at it, Wen Moqing threw it back into Jun Wunian's arms in disgust: "A profiteer who is rich enough to rival the country, he only brings a few taels of silver when he goes out, are you embarrassed?" ”

"I want to wander around with a beautiful woman like you, but unfortunately I don't have that life, it would be nice to have a few taels of silver with me." Jun Wunian was very measured in his jokes, and he was quite embarrassed to stand aside when he saw Yan Liwu, and lightly brought the topic back to business, "There are still a lot of things waiting to be solved in the imperial capital, and I came to find Bi Xiao." Some time ago, I found out that one of her subordinates died tragically in a broken temple outside the imperial capital, and was dragged and tortured all the way before he died, and the murderer's purpose was very strange, it seemed that he wanted to lure me away from the imperial capital. After that, I sent someone to check for a long time, but there was no news, so I could only come here to see if there were any clues that could provide clues. ”

"That subordinate was transferred to my side by the master not long ago, and he hasn't given him any tasks yet, and he is also very honest, so he shouldn't have a grudge with anyone." Bi Xiao added.

Wen Moqing raised half an eyebrow, and pulled Yan Li's worries: "Investigate the case and find the fourth prince, don't come to me, I still have important things to do." ”

Jun Wunian and Bi Xiao glanced at each other, one had nothing to say, and the other covered his mouth and chuckled.

Before Yan Liwu and the three of them came in, Jun Wunian had already relayed all the news he had learned from Lou Qianhan to Bi Xiao, although Bi Xiao was also surprised that Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu had come together so quickly, but they were full of joy at this result.

The words between the women are to be left to be said in private, Bi Xiao tilted her head slightly to look at Chu Jiu who was following the two, and couldn't help but be curious: "...... this kid?" ”

Wen Moqing was silent for a short time, and then replied very delicately: "Jiu'er, Uncle Tong's daughter, sent her back to Yunhuai to visit her relatives a few days ago. ”

Several young masters of Junzilou who are close to Wen Moqing know Tong Ruchu's identity and the relationship between the two, and they also know that Wen Moqing hates others to ask about Tong Ruchu the most, and when he took the initiative to mention Tong Ruchu and suddenly a so-called "daughter" appeared, Bi Xiao and Jun Wunian were inevitably curious, and they wanted to ask but were worried that Chu Jiu would make trouble by saying something wrong in his presence, so they had to give up for the time being.

"Some time ago, the county was hit by a locust plague, and the farmers in the north suffered heavy losses and no harvest, and the prince set off the day before yesterday to see the situation, and it is estimated that he will come back in three or two days."

Bi Xiao has lived in the Dingyuan Mansion for many years, because of her meticulous care and love for Wen Mohong, the greatly moved King Dingyuan has long regarded her as his daughter-in-law, and when she goes out, all the big and small things in the house are handed over to Bi Xiao to deal with. After making tea for the three of them and instructing their subordinates to prepare meals, Bi Xiao was finally able to sit quietly for a while, and the gentleness of her eyebrows increased her brightness by seven points: "By the way, I am not worried, Mo Hong's body has improved a lot recently, and his palms have been able to hold lighter things, and he can even open the door by himself, he asked me to thank you." ”

"What else is polite between you and me? I'm still waiting for the eldest son to get better and marry you! ”

Bi Xiao didn't expect that she would be joked, her cheeks were crimson, and she asked for a strange speech: "Dead girl, and you don't have a mouth, I don't laugh at you, you make fun of me." Then let me ask you, should you change your words now, and then call Mohong the eldest prince estranged, right? ”

Wen Mohong is Wen Moqing's eldest brother, if you start from this relationship, you should also call Wen Mohong the eldest brother. Bi Xiao's move really stumped Yan Li's worries, secretly looked at Jun Wunian who was sitting and watching the show, and then looked at the warmth of the ink who pretended not to care but kept glaring at her, the big brother slipped out of his mouth but couldn't call it out.

called, isn't it equivalent to settling the relationship with Wen Moqing?

King Dingyuan hasn't seen it yet, and he doesn't know the opinion of his parents, so he doesn't want to call and call the elders angry, and he drooped his head like a defeated general after being suppressed by the first army of Bi Xiao, and several people couldn't help laughing.

"I have to ask my eldest brother and father about the marriage before it can be decided, and the eldest brother must do it as soon as possible." It is rare for Wen Moqing to help him end up with sorrow, and after calmly accepting the eyes of thanks, Wen Moqing's face gradually sank, "Is there any movement in the previous dynasty?" I heard that Nan Qingguo regretted his marriage, can it have an impact on several other countries? ”

Jun Wunian took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "If you don't just have an impact, it's about to become a mess." Nanqingguo repented of his marriage first, and then except for Qingyue, the other three countries said that they would send the agreed contracts after returning to China were also heard from, and the emperor sent several letters urging them to no avail, and it seemed that the original alliance was about to come to naught. ”

"If you do something unethical, you will naturally lose the trust of others. At that time, Prince Nanqing did not have a direct attack in Yuanguo and had already given the emperor a son, even if he proposed to regret his marriage after returning to China, it was reasonable, after all, the person who was hurt was Princess Nanqing. Shen Mo was silent, and Wen Moqing frowned, "Compared to Nanqing, I care more about the other four countries." The Hosdu Empire has been conspiring and hiding from the beginning, and I suspect that they are only here to test the emperor's attitude, and have no intention of forming an alliance; Qingyue has Lian Song and Concubine Yun to make contact, it shouldn't be troublesome, at least not on the face; As for the Fox Hill Kingdom and the Duo Kingdom, they had no previous dealings with each other, and this time they tacitly chose to abandon the alliance, and it was difficult to ensure that there was no collusion between them. ”

Before Wen Mo's words were finished, Jun Wunian had already taken over the conversation: "Only Fox Hill and Duo Guo are fine, what I am most afraid of is that things are not so simple." If the several countries that established contact with this envoy excluded Dayuan and formed an alliance, then Dayuan would be equivalent to being isolated, and the Hosdu Empire would be able to connect with Zhongzhou by bordering the Nanqing Kingdom, and then the western edge of our Dayuan would be directly exposed to the eyes of the Hosdu Empire without any obstacles. With the meager military strength over there, once Hostu and other countries launch an offensive, it can be said to be vulnerable. ”

Wen Moqing and Jun Wunian's speculation were all things that they had never thought about, but now that they heard it, they found that Dayuan was already in the midst of ups and downs, and it could be broken at any time, and wolf smoke was everywhere.

Is this called politics? Can one person or one thing trigger a war?

Yan Liwu suddenly felt a little worried, she didn't want to see the quiet and rich land of the Great Abyss, let alone see someone lose their lives because of the war, and she was afraid that those important people around her would be involved in it and be in danger all day long.

In a trance, the warm little hand fell on the back of Yan Li's hand, and when he turned his head, the big eyes of the first nine water spirits were colliding with the line of sight.

"Sister Honglian doesn't like to fight either, does she? Daddy said that if you fight, you will die, but when someone wants to bully us, we must resist and try to protect the person we like. Halfway through his words, he felt the surprised gazes of several people in the hall, Chu Jiu mustered up the courage to raise his head, and his small body made a loud and firm voice, "If there is a war, I will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy like my father, and I will never let the bad guys come to burn our house and steal our things, I want to protect Sister Honglian, protect my father and brother-in-law, and laugh at the boss!" ”

Jun Wunian was stunned for a moment, thinking that the "father" in Jiu's mouth was Tong Ruchu at first, and his face was gloomy: "Jiu'er, how do you protect the person you like?" The battlefield is terrible, and the people who control the battlefield are even more terrifying, if you really want to protect the people you like, what you should do is to stay away from danger, protect yourself as much as possible, and don't make them sad. ”

I don't know if I didn't understand or couldn't understand what Jun Wunian meant, Chu Jiu didn't accept this statement, raised his little face, and his voice was louder and more powerful: "No, I can protect myself!" Isn't it the Red Cliff Mountain in the west? As long as there are enough rolling stones on the mountain, and there are sharp snakes in the mountain passes, those bad guys will not be able to get by! ”

As soon as the words of the ninth day fell, Jun Wunian and Wen Moqing gasped together.

"Jiu'er, who taught you these? Are you daddy? Jun Wunian, who had a gloomy face a moment ago, smiled and beckoned Jiu'er to his side.

Chu Jiu still had the shyness unique to a girl, and only nodded vigorously under the encouragement of Yan Li's worried eyes: "Daddy said, the mountains in the west are high and deep, and the turbulent flow of the Tujiang River is a natural barrier, and Hongya Mountain is steep and has few trees, and it is not easy to climb. Daddy also said that there is only one mountain pass in Hongya Mountain, and the mountain pass is narrow and long, with cliffs on both sides, and it is not easy to attack and defend, but you are not afraid to defend it with a sharp snake formation. ”

Chu Jiu has lived in the Yunhuai area since he was a child, and his understanding of the topography of the western part of the Great Yuan has been enough to surprise several people, and the arrangement of how to arrange a defensive position by the mountains and rivers is even more breathtaking. At this time, Jun Wunian did not doubt the relationship between Chu Jiu and Tong Ruchu at all, and the strange light in his eyes hid a certain unbearable joy, and he looked at Wen Moqing without sound.

"Don't even think about it." Wen Moqing seemed to guess the thoughts in Jun Wunian's mind, frowned, and pulled back Jiu'er to Yan Liwu's side.

Seeing that the baby bump within reach was taken back, Jun Wunian regretted it endlessly: "Moqing, you also know that Dayuan is now extremely short of talents who are good at using soldiers, I can understand Uncle Tong's refusal to go out of the mountain, and you won't even hide Jiu'er, right?" Besides, I didn't intend to get her involved in intrigues, so if she was an omniscient strategist, wouldn't it be okay to ask her when she had a problem? ”

"Dreaming."

Wen Moqing replied categorically, without looking at the face of the same door at all, Jun Wunian was helpless, and the last bit of hope turned to Yan Li's worries, and he also shook his head resolutely.

Who has struggled in the whirlpool of power struggles would want to step into it again? I won't personally send distressed people into it. Yan Liwu understood that Jun Wunian wanted to win over the ninth year of junior high school who had been taught by Tong Ruchu, so as to increase Wen Mozheng's chances of winning in the battle for the throne, and because she clearly understood Jun Wunian's painstaking efforts, she didn't want to let Chu Jiu get closer to that gloomy darkness.

Lei Luo said that he wanted to protect the innocence and simplicity of the ninth year; Selfishly, I don't want Wen Mozheng's power to grow stronger and stronger - if Wen Mozheng is stronger, doesn't it mean that Wen Mozheng is weaker?

What would hurt Wen Moshu, she didn't want to do it at all.
