A few days ago, they frequently encountered chasing soldiers, and when they crossed Qicheng and entered the waterway, Mu Yunlan and his party were like dragons entering the river, and the people of Yue Jingyun could no longer determine their whereabouts.

Several times, the imperial capital had just received the news, and by the time Li Jing mobilized his people to rush over, they had long since disappeared. Moreover, the drought is getting worse and worse, grain and grass are in short supply, military salaries cannot be paid, soldiers also have families and have to support their families, and their actions are becoming more and more passive.

When they were suffering, they didn't see a grain of rice set aside by the court, but now that there is something, they urge them to find someone, and they punish and scold at every turn, they are here to be soldiers, not to be grandsons, they dare not say it on their faces, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts has been accumulating.

Mu Yunlan leaned on the bow of the boat, looking at the scene on both sides of the riverbank, and only felt a heavy heart.

There are large swaths of the riverbed exposed at both ends of the riverbank, and many people grope in the shallow water by the river, hoping to catch some fish to satisfy their stomachs, but in fact, even the moss in the water has been removed, and the fish are even more difficult to find.

Suddenly, Mu Yunlan's eyes froze, and on the abandoned wharf on the bank of the river, a bunch of people were lying scattered, exuding a foul smell, and she could be smoked on the boat.

Suddenly, her eyes were dark, and a pair of slightly cold hands blocked her vision: "Don't look at it." ”

Mu Yunlan's back was straight, and her fingers tightened slightly: "Uncle Huang, those are dead people." ”

"Hmm."

"If such a random pile on the bank of the river occurs, if there is an epidemic, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes, it's just that the living can die at any time, where is the heart to care about the dead people." How sad it is to say that a drought in a huge country has been hit like this.

Mu Yunlan retracted her gaze, what she could do now was limited, what could she do clearly? Even if the Lin family has thousands of family wealth, they can't help a few people: "Uncle Huang, when can we see grandpa?" ”

"After crossing the Hengshui, it's okay. I made an appointment with my grandfather to meet in Hengcheng on the shore of Hengshui, and then we went to Yunnan together. ”

"Hengcheng is safe, grandpa, they won't be discovered, right?"

Yue Jingxuan stretched out his hand to circle her: "Hengcheng is close to Jiangnan, it is the place chosen by grandpa, I believe that his old man must have made arrangements." ”

"Well, then I'm relieved."

"Let's go sleep for a while, it's going to take two days to sail."

"Hmm."

The boat moved forward lightly, Mu Yunlan was shaken in a daze, in a daze, she only felt that her body was roasted on the fire, and the scene of her grandfather being hung on the city tower appeared repeatedly, she cried and ran forward without her life, but she was trapped in place, unable to move.

"Grandfather, grandfather......"

Yue Jingxuan stayed by the bedside, changed a cool cloth and put it on Mu Yunlan's forehead, and was extremely worried in his heart: "Yunlan...... Yun Lan ......"

"Grandfather, grandfather!" Mu Yunlan opened her eyes suddenly, only to feel that her throat hurt badly, and her head was dizzy and she couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.

It seemed that there was a wind and waves, and the boat jerked violently, and Mu Yunlan covered her chest and spit out.

Yue Jingxuan hurriedly held her up and gently stroked her back: "Yun Lan, how do you feel?" ”

Mu Yunlan vomited for a long time, except for some bitter water, she didn't vomit much, she had a poor appetite these days, and she ate very little: "Uncle Huang...... I dreamed of my grandfather......"

Yue Jingxuan's heart tightened, Mu Jianyu's death had left a deep scar in her heart after all, and she was bleeding out all the time: "Yun Lan, you have done your best." ”

Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes, leaned against the head of the bed and lowered her head without speaking.

Yue Jingxuan held her hand, and the next moment hot tears fell on the back of his hand: "Yun Lan ......"

"Uncle Huang, I still want to sleep for a while." Mu Yunlan let go of Yue Jingxuan's hand and turned her back to him.

Yue Jingxuan gently helped her tie her hair: "Okay, you rest first, I'll let someone boil some medicine for you." ”

Walking out of the door of the room, Yue Jingxuan stood at the bow of the boat in the wind, his eyes were deep.

Tianshu stepped forward: "Master, the imperial capital has already been arranged." ”

Yue Jingxuan didn't respond, and only spoke after a long time: "Tianshu, pass on Tianquan, let him protect Emperor Lin and the others, and never let anyone be injured again." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Tianshu solemnly responded down.

Yue Jingxuan looked at both sides of the riverbank, the people were numb like walking corpses, the officials were still sucking blood, Dayongguo, even if he rebelled, it was almost angry.

Mu Yunlan drank the medicine, the temperature dropped slightly, Yue Jingxuan asked Tianshu to move a table, sat on the edge of the bed while watching her, and dealt with various things, almost when it was time, he straightened out the recent things.

turned her head to look at Mu Yunlan, only to find that she didn't know when she had woken up, and was looking at him quietly: "Yunlan, do you feel better?" ”

"It's okay already, Uncle Huang, is the drought in Yunnan serious?"

"In the compromises of reporting to the imperial court, it is written very seriously."

"What about actually?"

"Yunnan has rainy seasons and abundant river water, although it is implicated, it is not serious." Other places have been affected, and if Yunnan is safe and sound, it will be even more dazzling.

"That's good." Finally, there is still a pure land.

"Yun Lan, everything will be fine."

Mu Yunlan nodded, she didn't understand the reason, but she didn't want to accept it in her heart. The emperor that my grandfather supported until his death, and the Dayong Kingdom that he was guarding have rotted from the roots, look at the piles of bones, listen to the wails of those dying people, is my grandfather's persistence really worth it?

Thinking of this question, she couldn't help but connect with her past life.

She has been a general for many years, leading the Mu family army to garrison the most bitter frontier, day after day, year after year, the more military achievements are accumulated, but the emperor's trust in her is getting less and less. In the end, when she was at war with the enemy country, he stabbed her in the back.

Is it worth it?

She repeatedly asked herself if she would choose to rectify the Mu family army, garrison the border and fight continuously, but she couldn't get an answer.

Yue Jingxuan took off his coat, lay on the bed and hugged her in his arms, his magnetic voice with a hint of distress: "Yun Lan, sleep." ”

Mu Yunlan was stunned, the tip of her nose was cold and fragrant, tempting people to continue to indulge, she suddenly felt very relieved, curled up in his arms, and slowly fell asleep.

Waiting for her to breathe steadily, Yue Jingxuan opened her eyes and imprinted a kiss on the top of her hair with pity: The person he regards as a treasure should smile heartlessly every day, instead of being sad and depressed like this time...... Yue Jingyun, this account, let's calculate it slowly!

In her sleep, Mu Yunlan felt that she was getting lighter and lighter, and the memories of her past and present lives were intertwined, holding her head full, as if it was about to explode.

After a long time, the memory slowly calmed down, and a kind of realization rose from the heart: worthy of the heart!

Yes, just be worthy of it! Even if he knew that he would be killed by the royal family in the end, would he let the Mu family army go alone in his previous life and watch the people on the border suffer? No! So, even if it were to do it all over again, she would still make the same choice.

Grandfather is the same, all he wants is to stick to the ideals in his heart, but he doesn't want to see the chaos in Dayongguo, so even if he has a clear chance to escape in the end, he must strive to touch the emperor with his actions, but unfortunately, Yue Jingyun didn't notice his hard work at all.

"Yunlan ......"

Yue Jingxuan's soft voice woke Mu Yunlan from her dream.

When she opened her eyes, her body was tired, but her mood was unprecedentedly relaxed, and the knot in her two lives was untied together, and she dreamed back at midnight in the future, and she no longer had to worry about falling asleep.

"Uncle Huang!" Mu Yunlan's voice was bright.

Looking at her bright smile, Yue Jingxuan's heart trembled slightly: "Yun Lan, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, just figured something out. Uncle Huang, have we arrived at the place? ”

"Come on, you've been asleep for a long time, get up and wash up and eat something."

"Hmm." Mu Yunlan got out of bed, her hands and feet were weak and fell directly into Yue Jingxuan's arms, and she couldn't help but feel helpless, "It turns out that those ladies in the imperial capital are not easy." ”

"The ladies in the imperial capital?"

"Yes, every day I see them clutching their chests at every turn and panting when they walk two steps, this feeling is really torturous."

"You haven't recovered from the previous injury, so you donated blood for me, and after a long time of recuperation, you have experienced these again, and no matter how good your foundation is, you can't stand it." Yue Jingxuan was worried in his heart, and soon, he needed Mu Yunlan to donate blood, and her health would get worse and worse......

"Don't talk about that. Uncle Huang, hurry up and have someone prepare me something to eat, I feel like I'm going to starve to death. Mu Yunlan could guess his thoughts, and didn't want him to worry about what had not yet come, so she directly interrupted him.

"Okay."

The boat soon docked at the head of the horse in Hengcheng, and Mu Yunlan stepped off the board, stepping on the ground and feeling like he had stepped on cotton.

Qingsleeve and Bizhu, who changed into ordinary clothes, saw Mu Yunlan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and tears fell directly: "Miss, it's only been a few days, why have you lost weight like this?" ”

Mu Yunlan is really thin and ruthless, her small face, which was not big, can now be covered with a slap, her chin is pointed, and with the last picture of my pitiful appearance, it makes people feel pain at a glance.

"I'm fine, I'm a little uncomfortable on the boat." Although she understands water, she really hasn't been on a boat much, "What about grandpa and second brother, are they all okay?" ”

"It's all good, but I'm thinking about you."

"Am I not here?"

got into the carriage and came all the way to a big courtyard, Mu Yunlan saw Lin Zi'an standing at the door waiting, and her eyes turned red: "Grandpa, I'm here." ”

"It's good to be back."

"Hmm."

Lin Zi'an and the others didn't mention Mu Jianyu's matter, for fear of making her sad, Mu Yunlan was moved in her heart, and she didn't say anything, the family had a lively meal, made up for all kinds of things, and set foot on the road to Yunnan again.
