"Northeast?" Su Qi clapped his hands, "It's the northeast!" ”

After that, he got up and headed northeast in a magnificent glow.

In the same morning glow, Mu Yunsong rode on his mount and looked up in the brilliant morning light.

In front of it, there is a tall and heavy bluestone wall, and two black lacquer doors inlaid with the pepper picture of the divine beast slowly open, and then upward, there is a huge black background gold plaque:

Beijing Palace.

Suddenly, two rows of soldiers in armor and sharp armor stepped out, stood solemnly on both sides of the gate, and shouted in unison: "Welcome the prince back to his home!" ”

Mu Yunsong closed his eyes, and a trace of unreal feeling was fleeting.

After going around and around, I was confused several times, and finally came back......

Deputy General Xu Kai took more than a thousand steps, but with the reins in his hand, Mu Yunsong was surrounded by the guards and dismounted, and walked towards the mansion, his eyes were deep, and his face was as heavy as water.

Mu Zhong, the housekeeper, came up to remove the cloak for him, and said respectfully: "The prince has worked hard all the way!" Do you want to wash the dust and change clothes first? ”

"Don't worry, where is the concubine?"

"Lord Wang, Niangniang learned that the prince was coming back today, so she waited in Qiwu Courtyard early in the morning."

Mu Yunsong turned around and walked to the backyard, "I'll go and say hello to my mother first." ”

Mu Yunsong's biological mother, the old princess Cheng, was originally a general, and watched her husband and her sons fight in the north and south for half her life, and cultivated a very strong psychological quality, and she consciously could collapse in front of her without changing her color. Even so, seeing that his eldest son was lost and recovered, he still couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's just that at this time, there was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Mu, and several daughters-in-law and girls who came to ask for peace, all of whom didn't know the truth about Mu Yunsong's disappearance, and the old princess didn't want to show too much, so she had to hold Mu Yunsong's hand tightly and slapped it twice: "My son has worked hard this time!" It's good to be back! It's good to be back! ”

"I'm all right, Mother Lao is worried." Mu Yunsong suppressed his emotions, his face was as usual, and he saluted Mrs. Mu on the side, "Auntie." ”

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is becoming more and more bodhisattva-hearted now, and she is worried about your brother for a few days. ”

As soon as she said this, the old princess said angrily: "One or two are not worry-free, if there is a daughter-in-law by his side, where can I be used to work for him?" ”

Sure enough, it is the mother-in-law, and it is still three sentences of urging marriage...... Mu Yunsong lowered his head and was silent, but his heart was astringent, "Mother and aunt are sitting side by side, there are a lot of affairs to deal with in the army, so I will leave first." ”

"Go, go, don't be disgusted in front of my eyes!" The old princess had already broken free from her sadness, scolded him with a smile, and then turned to Mrs. Mu and said, "That eldest daughter of the Xia Shangshu family......"

Mu Yunsong didn't want to listen to their gossip, turned around and went out, and went to the barracks office.

He had been away from the government office for a long time, and before he could step through the door, he saw a man standing in the house.

The man was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, holding something firmly in his right hand, but he was looking up at the "Great Yanzhu Stone" plaque on the main hall of the government office.

Mu Yunsong was behind him, staring at his back with deep eyes, and then deliberately coughed lightly.

The man turned his head when he heard the sound, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Big brother! ”

"The third brother has been in charge of military affairs for me for a few days, and it has been hard."

The politeness in his tone made Mu Yunfeng, the third elder of the Mu family, a little frightened, and hurriedly presented the topaz tiger talisman in his hand: "I heard that the eldest brother has returned safely, I specially came to return the tiger talisman!" ”

Mu Yunsong walked past him, put the tiger talisman into his sleeve, and sat down behind the table: "These days, are there any important matters in the military camp that need to be explained to me?" ”

"It's nothing special." Mu Yunfeng then approached, and the general's grain and grass, military salaries, weapons, gunpowder and other details were reported to Mu Yunsong one by one.

Mu Yunsong flipped through the account book and nodded in praise: "The third brother is a meticulous person. ”

Mu Yunfeng received a compliment, his heart was no longer so frightened, and he thought about it: "Big brother, there is one more thing: two months ago, you led the army to the north to conquer Tatar and won a great victory, expanding the territory by more than 600 miles, and the distribution of this land ......"

"According to the rules, the soldiers who participated in the war were assigned according to their ranks." Mu Yunsong said casually while looking down at the military newspaper.

Mu Yunfeng on the side was a little unwilling: "But eldest brother, in this battle, my Mu family's pro-army has always been in the front, and the casualties are not small, even the eldest brother, as the commander-in-chief, is seriously injured and almost ......"

Mu Yunsong raised his head and glanced at him: "According to the third brother's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Mu Yunfeng plucked up his courage and said what he had been thinking about for many days: "I think that the territory obtained should be divided into three, with my Mu family having one share and the other two being divided equally by the soldiers participating in the war according to their ranks. ”

Exclusive copy? Mu Yunsong raised his head and looked at the third child's gaze quite meaningfully: "Third brother, do you know that my Dayan Dynasty is in the northern frontier, why has there been no boundless trouble for forty years?" ”

"Because my Mu family has guarded northern Xinjiang for two generations, and I am conscientious and loyal."

Mu Yunsong shook his head: "How can I rely on my Mu family alone?" Relying on 500,000 Yanbei Iron Cavalry, the top and bottom work together to protect the family and defend the country.

The northern expedition to the Tatar Khalkha Department was jointly led by me and the Marquis of Dingyuan, and 50,000 Yanbei iron cavalry confronted the Tatar barbarians for a month, and fought more than 20 bloody battles in exchange for the final victory.

If, according to the idea of the third brother, the 600 li of territory seized by the 50,000 brothers, my Mu family occupies 200 li alone, and I don't say whether the Marquis Yuan is willing or not, if it reaches the ears of the 50,000 soldiers who participated in the war, how will they feel? ”

"This ......," Mu Yunfeng was silent.

"They will question me as a coach for being selfish, and they will have a dislike for the Mu family from then on." Mu Yunsong narrowed his eyes, "And on the battlefield, a suspicion is a name, or a deserter!" ”

His words made Mu Yunfeng break down in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists: "Little brother knows that he is wrong!" ”

Seeing that his words played their due role, Mu Yunsong calmed down and patted the third child on the shoulder: "Northern Expedition to Tatar, although you did not go with you, it is also a great achievement to dispatch grain and grass in the rear to ensure supplies." I've heard that two of your guards didn't make it back alive when they went north...... In this way, all the land I should divide this time will be transferred to you, and you can use it to comfort the bereaved family members. ”

Mu Yunfeng became more and more embarrassed: "This is absolutely unacceptable!" ”

Mu Yunsong didn't allow him to refuse: "It's decided." ”

Mu Yunfeng wanted to say something, but he heard a commotion outside the door, it was the fourth Mu Yunzhang who came to pay a visit with a group of veterans, and Mu Yunfeng had no choice but to bow and leave.

Before going out, he passed by a young man in green clothes, the young man was originally smiling happily, and when he saw Mu Yunfeng, he immediately changed into a timid look: "Brother! ”

Mu Yunfeng glanced at him, his eyes were displeased, and he went out without saying a word.

The young man in Tsing Yi, the sixth elder of the Mu family, Mu Yuntong, scratched his head suspiciously, not knowing where he had made this brother unhappy.

But his little frustration was instantly interrupted by a hearty laugh of "wahahaha", and he saw that the fourth Mu Yunzhang was grinning with a big mouth of swallow-jawed tiger whiskers, showing off to the generals: "I have long said that my eldest brother is blessed by the ancestors and the eight heavenly generals to take care of him, how can he be hit by an arrow and see the Buddha go?!" ”

What he said made Mu Yunsong a little crying and laughing, but Mu Yunzhang is known as "Mujia Mengshiro", he has always been bold and open-mouthed, and he doesn't want to worry about him, so he hid behind him and said: "I heard that a few days ago, the sixth brother suffered, and the eldest brother wants to thank you." ”

Mu Yuntong, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter, as long as the eldest brother is well, even if Yuntong is beaten again, he will be willing!" ”

As soon as he said this, the generals laughed, and Mu Yunzhang's big slap on the sixth shoulder, and said with a smile: "The fifth kid, he is also ruthless, the sixth brother is not wronged, go back and take you to him to seek justice!" ”

Mu Yuntong's face turned red, and he didn't know if he was embarrassed by everyone's laughter, or if he was hurt by his fourth brother.

Mu Yuntong didn't know what was going on, he didn't have a strong sense of existence in the Mu family, he was studying and practicing martial arts in his small courtyard, and the years were quiet, but one day he was suddenly "invited" out by his second brother and fifth brother, and he couldn't help but say that it was a fat beating, and he was thrown on a big bed that didn't belong to him.

When he reacted, it was his eldest brother's bed, crying and shouting to get up, and his "vicious" fifth brother was tied up with two iron chains.

When he couldn't move, his fifth brother told him that a dead eunuch named An He came to Guangning from Xijing by order, nominally to help the Yanbei soldiers, but in fact to explore the life and death of his eldest brother Mu Yunsong.

At that time, their beloved eldest brother had no news and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

But such a life-and-death event could not be known to the dead eunuch, so he Mu Yuntong bore the brunt of it, and the reason was that among the brothers of their Mu family, he, the eldest brother, was born most similar to the eldest brother.

Mu Yuntong, who had a blue nose and swollen face, felt bitter in his heart: I didn't expect that one day, looking like a big brother could also become a burden.

Therefore, when the dead eunuch surnamed An came to "kindly visit", Mu Yuntong's angry state lying on the bed, the painful moans from time to time, and the full of resentment and sadness were not fake.

The generals accompanied Mu Yunsong to chat for a while, it was noon, the fourth Mu Yunzhang took the lead in shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat, so everyone dispersed, and Mu Yunsong also got up and went home.

Passing by the West Garden of Mufu, he stopped on the corridor for a moment, looking at a familiar stone well fence in the garden.

I vaguely saw the figure of a girl in red, sitting on the stone well railing in the courtyard, her hands on her cheeks, her eyelashes lowered, and muttering angrily: "Stinky balls......"

Mu Yunsong didn't know whether it was emotion or sourness in his heart, he stood firmly, and was about to turn around to leave, but suddenly felt a few light footsteps behind him, and then a delicate body jumped on his back.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you miss me?" The delicate voice of the yellow bird came from the ears.

Mu Yunsong smiled helplessly, and patted the ten fingers of spring onion hooked on his neck: "Come down!" ”
