The third floor is more spacious and bright, and the two large rooms opposite each other live in half of the country.

"But there is a name, when will the plaque be hung up and the door will be opened!" Mu Qingyan sat down in front of a soft couch, looking around brightly and luxuriously.

"Just be gentle! It's just that there is a shortage of manpower, and those geisha raised outside the city are finally a little more angry. Crazy jade's soft and sweet voice murmured slowly.

"It's not appropriate to be gentle, there are clouds in Luo Shenfu: Dancing like a shock, it is to describe a woman with a beautiful body, and you are an extreme place, why don't you call it 'shocking'?" Mu Qingyan looked at the alluring face of the foolish jade, and made a pun.

Crazy Jade bowed her head in contemplation.

Mu Qingyan took her hand, not wanting her to be secretly sad, so she said, "I'll write another poem of Fenghua Xueyue and send it to you at the entrance, okay?" ”

Crazy Yu raised his eyes and looked at her twice, "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" Say, "What is your purpose?" ”

"Wronged!" Mu Qingyan slapped his palm on his head and pleaded aggrievedly.

Two laughing in one place.

Enough of the fuss, they both went downstairs and went to the small room in the front yard.

Crazy Yu grinded the ink with his own hands, "The idea is yours, and the words are written by you, tomorrow I will find someone to engrave a plaque!" ”

Mu Qingyan didn't shirk, his right hand grabbed his left sleeve, and the purple wolf king's pen filled the ink and waved it on the paved rice paper. But only those two words are full of agility, the pen and ink fall on the paper is light and shallow, the lines have changed the vigor of the past, and there is a faint sense of tenderness, like a woman's slender waist and slender wrists, and every stroke is amorous.

"Good! Just these two words, looking at those sons in the capital who claim to be full of poetry and books, are they afraid of shame? Crazy Jade was really amazed, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Mu Qingyan took off the paper and handed it to Crazy Yu, and wrote two lines of small words under the paper with a pen in ink: Xue Yue chanted lightly, the wind blew down the flowers and piano in the dream, and the rest of the poems and books were recounted.

Throw the pen into the wash, blow dry the ink marks, pick up the rice paper and hand it to the foolish jade.

Crazy Yu has followed the elegant master since she was a child, and Yu Liuyi has also worked a lot, but she knows that she has no such talent, and she can't help but be impressed.

"With such a scene, the girls must always have an equivalent name to be commensurate, Yan'er ......" Crazy Yu's voice instantly softened by three points.

Mu Qingyan glanced at her hatefully, "If I were a real man, I would accept you first, so that you would not harm all beings in the world!" He picked a hard pen from the pen stand, returned to the rice paper and stood still, and lowered his eyebrows for a moment.

Crazy Yu followed with two pieces of paper, and said softly, half-begging and half-threatening, "You are the biggest proprietor here, shouldn't you contribute?" ”

Mu Qingyan ignored her and wrote eight names under the paper: looking for the piano, visiting the chess, asking for books, and painting, and the purple wind and flowers are fragrant and the snow is in the moon.

"Very good, very good!" Crazy Jade looked at the eight names that fell on the paper with great satisfaction.

Suddenly, Mu Qingyan remembered something, and looked at Crazy Jade with raised eyebrows.

Crazy Jade was looked at by her and didn't know what to say, "Little Ancestor, how are you doing?" ”

"I remembered one thing, half a year ago, I snatched a few girls from Qunfang Pavilion in Qingyuan County and brought them back to Wu County with the boat, but I don't know where they are now!"

"You're going to the Qinglou to rob the girl?" Crazy Yumei's eyes were round, and then she thought of her stubborn nature, and said: "Also, you can do this thing, it's not unusual." ”

"It's you who said that there are not enough people, and some of those people have grown up in Qinglou since childhood, and they don't want to spoil themselves before they are abused." Mu Qingyan thought about it in his heart, they were afraid that they would not be able to wash away this past after exhausting this life, if they were placed in Jinghong, it might give them a way out.

"But the girls in this building are different from other places, and they can't survive without some skills!" Crazy Jade sighed.

Mu Qingyan nodded, "I know that most of the people you have rescued over the years are talented but nowhere to go, and your compassion is not commensurate with your reputation in the rivers and lakes." ”

Crazy Yu gently moved the lotus step and sat on the couch, not speaking for a long time.

"You have your own hills and valleys in your heart, I don't need to say more, but this is not a peaceful and prosperous world under the feet of the Son of Heaven. It's not the rivers and lakes, only martial arts dominate, you should prepare early! Mu Qingyan was still unfinished, but she understood that she understood.

"The Mu family has a letter to guard the three generations of the East Chu River, and now I am afraid that it will fall on me and Brother Han. If the emperor is critically ill, the princes rise together, and the unification position does not know whose hands it will fall into. The country will be in chaos, how can this land of fireworks be spared? "Mu Qingyan has a way of life beyond his age, calm and rational.

Crazy Jade looked at her deep dark eyes and slowly spoke, "I'm not afraid of chaos in the world, and I know where you built this building, so maybe it's time to let it work." ”

Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and was silent.

Crazy Yu pulled her to sit beside her, "Since our purpose is not to seek wealth, let's keep a low profile!" ”

"In that case, there is no need to wait, just open up these days! However, we still need to find two older people to come out and preside over the overall situation. Mu Qingyan nodded in agreement.

Crazy Yu smiled, "I have already chosen the person, just waiting for your word!" ”

The two discussed some details in a low voice, and stayed up all night.

After the fourth watch, Mu Qingyan got up and stretched, "I'm going back, it's hard to walk at dawn!" ”

"Get dressed, the night is frosty!" Crazy Yu personally draped the thin jade on her and sent it to the door.

Mu Qingyan jumped over the courtyard wall and went around the secluded path back to Shuiyue Villa.

She didn't know that she had just left on her front foot, and after the foolish jade turned off the lights and fell asleep, the person in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion on the opposite side couldn't wait for the people who came in to go out, so he took advantage of the night to find the general.

On three floors, the furniture and beds are all new, but there is no furnishings at all, and they are empty! The man had doubts in his heart, and looked around with a light foot, but did not encounter any obstacles, nor did he see the slightest figure.

I followed the back door into the small courtyard. The dozen or so houses in the small courtyard were neat and orderly, but there was no sound at all, and they were obviously empty.

Before she could fall asleep, she heard the sound of the robe in the courtyard being blown by the wind, and instantly jumped up silently, stuck to the window and looked outside. Seeing only half of his back, the man went to one side across the courtyard.

I secretly wondered: It's just the middle of the night when I returned to Beijing, who is it?

The man circled across the courtyard and then returned to the courtyard, one by one sticking to the doors and windows to listen.

Crazy Yu couldn't see who it was, the man was masked, tall, dressed in white and very light, and saw that his martial arts were not weak. She was furious in her heart, and when she just wanted to make a move, the five more drums sounded.

The man looked at the sky, looked back at the door in front of him, turned and jumped out of the courtyard wall.

I didn't feel sleepy anymore, I lay in bed and thought about many things, and finally I couldn't help but think of the negative person, my eyes filled with tears, and I was sad alone. It was only after dawn that the heartache gradually subsided and fell asleep.

It is rare to have a few days of leisure, and Mu Qingyan's nest is like a real lady in Lanyan Pavilion, and he can't live in the depths.

After entering the watch, Qingjin arrived in person for three consecutive nights, and Nanzhao had news that although the soldiers and horses of Anwangcheng were quietly assembled at the border, 100,000 troops had entered the deep forest of Danxia Mountain, hidden and immovable.

Nanzhao and Eastern Chu are bounded by Danxia Mountain, and the vast plain in the north of the mountain belongs to the territory of Great Chu; The forests in the south of the mountain are continuous, there are many hills and hills, and the big cities are hidden in the primeval forest. And the woodland is full of swamps, and the natural danger is difficult to cross.

Mu Qingyan was silent, thinking about the current situation in his mind.

"The imperial court has not yet received the news, so pay close attention first, and if necessary, cause some incidents to warn, so that the Qixia guards will know and stop. It is not easy to train our elites, and every casualty is a loss. Mu Qingyan's eyes gradually brightened.

"Young Master Han has received the news, what are the plans of the young master?" Qing Jin asked calmly.

Mu Qingyan was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "Brother Han will not act rashly, but this matter cannot be delayed, I will go to Qixia Pass in person in three days." ”

"Young master?" Qing Jin just wanted to object, and then thought that since she had already decided, it would be difficult to dissuade her, and besides, this trip would be a matter of time. "It's okay, the subordinates go with the young master! Then I went back to Bishui Manor to prepare, and three days later I waited by Mochou Lake in the south of the city. ”

Qing Jin turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of one more thing, turned around and said: "Young master, three months ago, Qin Yan stayed in Qixia Pass and Ninggu Pass. ”

"Oh?" Mu Qingyan was shocked, it seemed that Qin Yan was not chasing Yu Ranqing, but had already smelled the breath of war. I really didn't expect him to have such a keen mind.

Qingjin finished talking and wanted to leave.

"Qingjin!"

Qing Jin stopped and looked back at Mu Qingyan, "What else does the young master command?" ”

"You can't go!" Mu Qingyan looked at him seriously, "Now that the forces in the capital are gathered, there is chaos. You must stay at this point, I have important things for you to do! ”

Qing Jin shook his head, "Young Master, nothing is as important as the safety of the Young Master, the change of imperial power is not as big as the Young Master's clothes, Qing Jin will not let you go on an adventure alone!" ”

"News came back from the palace that the emperor's order would not be more than this month. If the seizure of the throne is imminent, who else wants to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy? Mu Qingyan walked a few steps to the window and looked up in the direction of the palace, "The crown prince is suspicious by nature, extremely heavy-minded, and his desire to exclude dissidents is obvious, if he successfully ascends the throne, the most competitive six princes will be assigned to the battlefield by him." At that time, the six princes have a heavy army, and if they insist on besieging the city with troops, the capital will be bloody! ”

Qing Jin moved to Mu Qingyan's side, and also looked in the direction of the palace, "Young master, since the prince is good at planning, how can he hand over the military power to the six princes?" If the six princes are trapped in the palace, then Qin Yan will take command and go on the expedition, this person is very thoughtful, the prince is orthodox, if he is not the person of the six princes, this victory is huge! ”

Mu Qingyan thought of Qin Yan, although he was annoyed in his heart, he also knew that this son was not simple, and he didn't dare to despise him anymore.

"The Six Princes are not simple! If the crown prince wants to ascend the throne smoothly, he must give up his military power. The emperor has connived at the six princes for many years to cultivate their power, which is nothing more than to contain the crown prince and check and balance each other. Mu Qingyan thought of the words and deeds of the six princes on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and knew at a glance that this person was extremely ambitious.

"Young master, is the emperor afraid that the crown prince will usurp the throne?" Qing Jin asked in surprise.

Mu Qingyan sighed, "Since ancient times, how many people's hearts and souls have been drunk by imperial power, in order to reach the position above ten million people, which dynasty was not fratricidal, father and son were enemies, and the blood of family affection was paved with the splendid mountains and rivers in his heart?" ”

Qingjin was silent.

Mu Qingyan's sad voice spoke again, "And my Mu family has to be driven by such family affection!" ”

"Young master, how about summoning the afterimage back to Beijing to protect you south?" Qing Jin looked at Mu Qingyan steadily, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: if she didn't agree, even if she gave up everything in the capital, he would have to go with him.

"Good!" Mu Qingyan responded, and then said: "Waste some time going back and forth to the capital, just let him wait for me in Wuling City!" ”

Qing Jin responded, turned around and flew down from the window, a few ups and downs out of the Lanyan Pavilion, cautiously out of the Water Moon Villa and galloped out of the city.

After a night of deep thought, it is difficult to sleep after tossing and turning.

Long after dawn, Amber waited for Mu Qingyan to call her, so she went upstairs softly, and looked through the crack in the door to the bedroom.

"No delay!" Coral rubbed his eyes, and came up with an eggplant-colored robe in his hand, "Sister Amber, what are you looking at?" ”

Amber didn't see half a figure in the closed room, and was about to go in when she was startled by the coral.

"Shhhh Miss hasn't gotten up yet! Amber whispered to Coral.

"No, you haven't gotten up so late?" Coral also followed Amber's example and peeked through the crack in the door.

There were two layers of curtains hanging on the bed, and I could see everything.

"What are you two looking at?" Mu Qingyan also followed the example of the two of them, and curiously looked inside through the crack in the door.

"Shhhh Amber and Coral both whispered a warning to those who came after them.

Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, leaned against the door with his sword, and watched his two silly maids continue to peek.

Coral spoke softly, "Sister Amber, today is King Xiaojing's wedding, do you want to wake up Miss?" ”

"I'm afraid that Miss Chuhan will come over and call someone, you give me the clothes, I'll call Miss to get up, you let Liuli put down breakfast and wait!" Amber took the shirt from Sango's hand and pushed the door open to head to the inner room.

Coral turned around and saw Mu Qingyan standing against the door, startled, "Little, small, miss, you, you're not ......" said and pointed to the inner room.

Amber was startled when she heard Sango's words, "Miss, Miss? ”

Mu Qingyan smiled at the corner of his lips and stepped into the door that Amber had just pushed open, "Take it in!" ”
