Chapter Ninety-Five: Willing to Gamble and Lose
The spring is cold, the spring rain is continuous, the cold wind is like water, the rain is resting, and the air is cold and wet.
Mu Bangshang looked out the window, the weather was still so cold, and now he had been walking for more than half a month, and he should be in the capital soon.
Every day, in addition to playing the piano and painting, I occasionally go to the yard to practice martial arts, and the martial arts have not been practiced for a long time.
"What are you thinking?" From his side, there was a reckless inquiry.
King Yu occasionally comes to her room to sit and listen to the piano, play chess and taste tea, and when King Yu does not make things difficult for her, the two of them are safe and sound, and they can get along so quietly.
Mu Bangshang didn't hide it, "The little girl is thinking that she should have arrived in the capital." ”
Xuanyuan put down the chess pieces in his hand and frowned slightly, before leaving Jiangnan, he had already formulated a plan for the capital with Qinshui's mother-in-law, and arranged a new identity for Li Ge, he would not be in danger in the palace.
The voice was solemn: "The prince's people will soon arrive in Yuzhou, give you two choices, the first king will send you to your sister." Second, stay and face danger with the king. ”
Mu Bangshang never thought that King Yu would arrange a back road for her, fate tied them together, the three of them had a common purpose, shared honor and disgrace, she never thought of escaping.
King Yu and Li Ge are in danger, walking on the edge of the sword, although she is a woman, she is not greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Lord Wang, the little girl is already a person who has died once, and she is not afraid of life and death, she just wants to see the destruction of the Wei family with her own eyes and get revenge."
Mu Bangshang's choice of Xuanyuan is not surprising, he is not afraid of life and death, just like his father, if Xi Linyong is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, it will not be Mu Bangsheng sitting in front of her.
"Now that you've made your choice, there's no room for regret. This time it is very dangerous to enter Beijing, perhaps... King Yu paused in the middle of his words, and Xuanyuan felt that it was still different, and she said that the plan might be better.
Xiao Yichen should arrive in Yuzhou tomorrow, and Xiao Yichen's identity cannot be known to him.
"Maybe what?" Mu Bangshang asked.
"You may end up in prison or even lose your life."
Mu Bangshang had already made up her mind from the moment she chose to take revenge, "Regardless of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Mu Bangshang is willing to break through with the prince, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent." ”
Looking at Mu Bangsang's serious expression, he actually laughed loudly, Mu Bangshang had never seen King Yu so happy, and almost the people in the entire courtyard could hear it.
Mu Bangshang frowned unhappily and said, "Isn't it funny?" ”
Xuanyuan recklessly put away the smile on his face, with this woman, he has always been cold and lonely, he actually smiled very comfortably, seeing the pretty ~ face that was still angry, "Let's play a game of chess with this king!" Today, the king is happy, and if you win, whatever conditions you make, this king will promise you. ”
Mu Bangshang knew that King Yu must be teasing her, but the conditions were too tempting, although King Yu would most likely not fulfill his promise.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, he didn't refute his face, of course, ugly words were naturally said in front, and she had encountered a lot of things that she had been fooled for.
"How are losers punished?" Mu Bangshang responded.
Xuanyuan glanced at her with great disdain, this woman was guarding against him from cheating, and snorted lightly: "If you lose, naturally you will go to make dinner." ”
Mu Bangshang saw King Yu's disdainful eyes, gritted her forehead and teeth fiercely, obviously wanting to make herself a cook.
"What if the prince loses?"
"Impossible, if this king loses half of you, he will cook for you." A joke full of playfulness and disdain.
Mu Bangsheng looked stunned, she never thought that King Yu would make such a childish bet with him, only her father had been with her like this when she was a child, that feeling was very strange, what seemed wrong? I would get along with King Yu like this.
Xuanyuan saw Mu Wansheng sitting there still, could it be that he was too good to her to scare her.
deliberately put on a straight face and said, "What are you still sitting on?" The hour is not early, and the king is already hungry, so if he loses, he will cook a pot of stew. ”
It seems that after coming back from Jiangnan, King Yu's attitude has changed, her heart is a little overwhelmed, and she is telling herself in her heart that she loves Li Ge, and she should stay away from King Yu.
Xuanyuan looked at Mu Bangshang, who was focused and planning step by step, his heart had been cold and silent for too long, how could it be so easy to open his heart, but this little woman broke in by mistake.
If they had been able to get along with her like this from the beginning, there might have been a difference between the two.
Mu Bangshang got serious, her chess skills were not inferior to her father, but she had a fatal weakness, she would not kill them all, she always had room to kill, and dragging mud and water was not enough to kill decisively.
Xuanyuan heard the footsteps outside the door, it was Ye Zheng who came, left the last son behind, and said with a smile: "Win your son." ”
Mu Bangshang knew that King Yu's subordinates were merciful and didn't let her lose too ugly.
Of course, Mu Bangshang also heard the sound outside the door, "The little girl is willing to gamble and lose, so she will retire first." ”
Mu Bangshang retreated, and when she saw Ye Zheng coming in a hurry, something important must have happened.
Ye Zheng walked in, "Lord Wang, the shadow guard has found the descendants of the Murong family. ”
"Hmmm! Is there any news from King Wei? ”
"Wei Wang's people have already contacted our people, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Yuzhou in the near future."
The crown prince has already sent Xiao Yichen here, has entered the territory of Yuzhou, and will arrive in Yuzhou tomorrow, and everything is being redeployed according to his plan.
Now the most important thing is to get the tiger talisman in advance, and he can't leave it yet, he can only give it to the person who believes in it the most.
Picked up the delicate wooden box from the bookcase, which was once given to him by Yan Jiu, put the thin paper page as thin as a cicada's wings in the wooden box, handed it to Ye Zheng, and said solemnly: "It's up to you whether you can get the tiger talisman." ”
Ye Zheng knew the importance of the Tiger Talisman, and King Yu handed over such an important matter to him, "Ye Zheng will not be dishonored!" ”
Mu Bangshang was in the kitchen, looking at the casserole on the stove absentmindedly, always feeling that King Yu had something to hide, and it seemed that he had something to say.
I think that King Yu seems to have changed a lot, and the person I like in my heart is Ge, and I still remember the advice of Mother-in-law Qinshui, don't provoke if you don't like it, stay away from King Yu, and fall deeper and deeper.
Mu Bangsheng ordered the cook in the house to help watch on the stove, and when she was grinding in the kitchen in the past, she had a good relationship with the people in the kitchen.
Mu Bangshang went to find Yan Jiu, hoping that Yan Jiu would send the pot of stew into the kitchen, but he saw Yan Jiu sitting in the courtyard, holding a washed winter coat in his hand.
Mu Bangshang stepped forward, "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ye Zheng he left, he was in a hurry, he would tell each other in the past, but this time he didn't say goodbye, and he was very worried."
Mu Bangshang just saw Ye Zheng in King Yu's room, could something have happened? Originally, I wanted to ask Yan Jiu to help, "Sister Yan, don't worry, I just saw the night guard in the prince's room, I cooked a pot of stew on the stove, and I will send it to the palace of King Yu in a while, just so you can inquire about the whereabouts of the night guard."
Mu Bangshang returned to the room, and saw that the wooden box on the desk was gone, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were still the same as if she had lost, and King Yu had already left.
"What exactly is King Yu trying to hide?"
Xuanyuan waited in the room, not tasting her craft for a long time, maybe not eating at the same table with her.
"Lord, it's time for dinner." The sound of Yan Jiu came from the door.
Xuanyuan's eyes were full of water in an instant, is he not gentle enough today~ Coldly said outside the door: "Come in!" ”
Yan Jiu had long been accustomed to King Yu's coldness, and he didn't notice that King Yu didn't like it, "Lord Wang, this is a pot of stew cooked by Miss Mu~ herself." ”
The things that the prince has eaten, even if he likes it, he will not eat it a second time, so he loves this pot stew, it should be the love of the house and the black.
brought out the soup cup, "Originally, Miss Mu was going to deliver it in person." Just because Ye Zheng left suddenly, Yan Jiu was not at ease, so he robbed Miss Mu of her errand. ”
Hearing Yan Jiu's explanation, she seemed to feel a little more comfortable, it turned out that she was not hiding from herself, "Ah Jiu, Xiao Yichen will come tomorrow to escort this king into Beijing, and you will find a way to prevent Xiao Yichen from being alone with her along the way." ”
Mu Bangshang's life experience is currently only known to Li Ge and Xuanyuan Gangji, and the less they know, the better. Therefore, when Mu Bangshang killed Pei Zhen, Yan Jiu and Ye Zheng were locked outside the stone gate.
Xiao Yichen is the person of King Yu, Yan Jiu knows, what is the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Mu Bangshang? Since it is the order of King Yu, it is her duty to obey the order.
"Yan Jiu understands."
In the afternoon of the next day, Mu Bangshang was playing the piano in the room, and when she heard hurried footsteps outside the window, she stopped the piano sound, "Sister Yan, there seems to be an accident in the house." ”
"Yan Jiu, let's go out and have a look."
After a while, Yan Jiu hurriedly rushed in, "Miss Mu, hurry up, the emperor has issued a holy decree to come, and everyone in the palace will go to receive the decree." ”
A few days ago, the capital had sent someone to deliver a decree to order King Yu to enter Beijing, and the emperor himself said that King Yu was not allowed to step into the capital half a step without his order. Now the prince is not reluctant, just for the account book in the hands of King Yu.
King Yu had already had the foresight, and this time he was going to follow him into Beijing, and a prison disaster was inevitable.
Mu Bangshang and the people in the house rushed to the front yard, the courtyard was full of kneeling people, and they were already reading the holy decree, Mu Bangshang was busy kneeling on the ground, kneeling to receive the holy decree.
The general meaning is that the emperor is critically ill and the crown prince is in charge of the country, and he orders King Yu to return to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety. Helplessly, King Yu did not respect the decree, and as a prince, he did not pay attention to filial piety, so he sent someone to take King Yu back to Beijing to be held accountable.
Nian Bi, everyone got up one after another, Mu Bangshang looked at the people who came to summon, Xiao Yichen is also an old acquaintance, the originally hot-blooded young man, now he has become the prince's minions and eagle dogs, and his heart is inevitably painful.
Seeing that King Yu stepped forward to receive the order, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "General Xiao, the emperor has issued an edict, if it weren't for His Majesty personally issuing a holy decree announcing the prince's entry into Beijing, King Yu would not be allowed to step into the capital for half a step, and the prince is also doing his filial piety, and Manager Ji can testify, what is King Yu's crime?" Do you want to take the capital to ask for guilt? ”
Xiao Yichen said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Xiao Yichen is also under the order of the prince, the prince is in charge of the country, the prince's order is like the emperor's order, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, if King Yu is really wronged, you can find Manager Ji to confront him when he arrives in the capital." ”
Xuanyuan was very pleased to see Mu Wanshang maintaining everywhere.
"Princess, since General Xiao is here, let's follow into Beijing, and those who are clear will be clear, and they will not be afraid when they arrive in the capital."
