Emperor Beimeng also felt that what he said made sense, and couldn't help but nod.

But then he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to make an immediate truce in the current situation. However, if you can capture Qingcheng, your father will promise you a truce. ”

Tuoba Hongyu rejected this condition and said loudly: "No, Qingcheng is very well defended, and we can't attack it at all." If there is no truce, I am afraid that even this city will not be able to be saved. They are guarding Qingcheng, and they will naturally consider how to take the border city back from us. After all, everyone knows the importance of border cities. ”

Emperor Beimeng couldn't help but look at him suspiciously and asked, "What is the purpose of bringing up this topic again?" ”

He thought that the communication between their father and son tonight was pleasant, but he didn't expect Tuoba Hongyu to bring the topic back to the beginning and discuss with him about the truce of the army. In the past, he would not be so bold, repeatedly provoking his bottom line, and talking about things he didn't want to talk about. But now he insisted on coming with him, and he had to talk about the truce and retreat.

He couldn't help asking, "Who gave you the guts?" ”

Tuoba Hongyu replied: "No one gave me the courage, it was I who couldn't bear to sacrifice the lives of the Northern Mongolian soldiers anymore to do a senseless struggle, Qingcheng we said we couldn't attack, and the consequences of continuing to attack would only make more soldiers die, and we would lose the border city." ”

"Are you destroying your own prestige and increasing the morale of others?" Emperor Beimeng snorted coldly.

Since no one gave him the guts, then tonight he spoiled him too much, making him think that he could disobey him.

It seems that sons, like women, can't get used to it, and the more they get used to it, the more bastards they become.

"I'm just talking with facts, I've wanted to tell my father for a long time, but I just didn't have the opportunity. Tonight, I know that my father is the most reasonable person, so I dare to say it. Tuoba Hongyu said.

Emperor Beimeng sneered: "So I used to be unreasonable in your eyes? ”

"No, I just feel that my father is so high that my sons can't look up to me." Tuoba Hongyu replied cautiously, "So I don't dare to say anything to you." But tonight, I feel more like a father. ”

When Emperor Beimeng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, maybe he really snubbed this son too much.

He didn't want to continue to communicate with him about this, so he waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "It's almost dawn, go to sleep." Don't talk about the truce anymore, I don't want to think about it. ”

Tuoba Hongyu knew that it would be useless to continue talking, he was his father after all, and he had supreme authority. You can't always go down with him.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back, and you can rest for a while." ”

Emperor Beimeng nodded, and Tuoba Hongyu withdrew from his room.

Coming to the courtyard, Tuoba Hongyu stretched out, yawned heavily, and then went back to his room to sleep.

Ming said lightly that the sky was about to dawn, and if he hid again, he would not be able to hide.

He left the palace of the Northern Mongolian Emperor and returned to the restaurant.

By the time I got back to the restaurant, it was already dawn.

didn't sleep all night, and began to follow Ning Shangmo, and then followed Tuoba Hongyu, making him so tired.

Lying on the bed, sleepiness hit, he closed his eyes and just wanted to sleep.

Unexpectedly, I heard the shopkeeper of the restaurant talking to Ning Shangmo.

In an instant he was completely sleepy, and immediately got up from the bed, stood behind the door, and looked out through the crack in the door.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant could only say to Ning Shangmo: "The big shopkeeper, in the past few days, I have united all the prestigious people in the border city to hold a meeting at a secret base in the south of the city, you must go." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll go, is it safe over there?" ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant replied: "It's absolutely safe, it's all our people over there, and the soldiers of Beimeng won't find out." ”

Then, the two walked together.

Seeing this, he hesitated.

I don't know if I want to keep tracking the past, and if I don't keep track of the past, I'll miss something. After following him, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

I've been following Ning Shangmo these days, and I'm half-asleep when I sleep, plus I stayed up all night last night, and I feel tired and sleepy today. He was afraid that he would fall asleep while he was following.

However, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that something would happen to them during the meeting.

Therefore, he cheered up and decided to continue to follow Ning Shangmo to the place where they were meeting.

Ning Shangmo and the shopkeeper of the restaurant made a carriage, and he also hired a sedan chair.

Seeing Ning Shangmo and the shopkeeper's carriage stop from a distance, he also hurriedly stopped the sedan chair, paid the money, and then sent the sedan chair man away.

He followed Ning Shangmo and the shopkeeper of the restaurant and entered a large mansion.

But he still didn't walk in through the doorway, but jumped in through the backyard wall.

Ming Qingyan looked at it, there were thirty or forty people in a room, he couldn't help nodding slightly, it seems that the shopkeeper of the restaurant is very prestigious in the local area, and he can attract so many people to come, this is a force that cannot be underestimated.

He was still crouching under the window, hiding himself behind the flowers, eavesdropping on the conversation.

Everything went very smoothly, and it didn't take much thought work for Ning Shangmo at all. Everyone was already excited, and they all expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Daling army to fight back and help them recapture the border city. They have had enough of the oppression of the Northern Mongols.

Ming Qingyan was also enthusiastic when he heard it outside, and he forgot about his sleepiness.

The meeting went smoothly and ended before noon.

Originally, the shopkeeper of the restaurant wanted to invite everyone to the restaurant for dinner, but he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he had to give up.

So only the shopkeeper of the restaurant took Ning Shangmo back to the restaurant, while the others left one after another.

Ming Qingyan hid in the flowers and waited for them all to leave, and then came out and went out from the backyard over the wall.

By the time he returned to the restaurant, lunch time was almost over.

The shopkeeper stood at the door, saw him come in, and hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Guest officer, have you had lunch?" ”

Ming Qingyan heard him ask this, and suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten yet, bring me two catties of beef, and then a pie, with some side dishes." ”

Xiao Er nodded and smiled: "Okay, guest officer, you sit here." ”

As he spoke, he moved Ming lightly to the window, then took off the white towel on his shoulder and wiped the bench with a smile: "You sit down first, and I'll go serve you food." ”

Ming nodded lightly, and soon the shopkeeper brought the beef and pie side dishes.

He ate it all in one go, then went back to his room to rest.

As soon as he lay down in bed, he fell asleep, he really didn't have the energy, and continued to follow. Thinking that Ning Shangmo had just finished participating in the border city folk gathering, he would definitely not take any action for a while, so he slept with confidence.

By the time he woke up, the sun was about to set outside the window.

He couldn't help but get up from the bed with a carp, and then walked to the door to listen to the movement outside.

As a result, he didn't hear anything, he didn't know if Ning Shangmo was in the room, so he opened the door, walked out quietly, and wanted to take a look in front of Ning Shangmo's door.

It happened that the shopkeeper came up from downstairs with a basin of water, and saw that he was about to speak.

Ming Qingyan hurriedly made a silent gesture to him, and the shopkeeper nodded clearly, not daring to speak again, but followed him to his room.

"Guest, you're awake." The shopkeeper put the basin on the ground and asked with a smile, "Why don't you wash your face with this water first?" Shall I serve another pot to the new guest officer? ”

Ming asked vigilantly, "New guests again?" Which room to live in, male or female? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's a young couple, just staying." ”

Ming Qingyan let out a casual sigh when he heard this, and then asked seemingly casually, "What about the female guest officer who lives at the top of the stairs?" Did you go downstairs to eat? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The female guest officer didn't come back after she went out in the afternoon." ”

Ming Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, could it be that he missed something when he was sleeping?

However, he was anxious in his heart, but his face was still light and light, and he asked with a smile: "Is your shopkeeper in the store?" ”

Afraid that the shopkeeper would be suspicious, he said casually: "I've been living here for a few days, I don't know if he can get a discount on the accommodation fee and meal." When you go out, you can save it. Doesn't it mean that the poor have a rich road? ”

The shopkeeper nodded knowingly and said with a smile: "It should be able to get a discount." But our shopkeeper is not here now, so I'll ask you when he comes back, and then I'll tell you what he's decided. ”

Ming smiled at him gratefully, "Thank you." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and smiled: "It is right to serve you, you wash your face, and go down to eat later." I'll go get another basin of water. ”

Ming nodded politely and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

Ming Qingyan finished washing his face in the basin, and when he heard footsteps in the corridor again, he guessed that it should be the shopkeeper who came back with water.

So he stood behind the door and looked through the crack in the door to see out in the hallway.

The new couple lived next door to Ning Shangmo's room, diagonally opposite Ming Qingyan's room.

Therefore he saw the situation in their house very clearly.

The couple let the shopkeeper with the basin into the house, and then sent him out, very politely.

Just when the man in the couple turned his head, he saw the man's face clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised, how could it be the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife? Have they returned from Xiliang? How did you get here? Could it be that Leng Qingrong asked them to come? Do they know that they are following Ning Shangmo?

After a little thought, he decided to go out and meet the two of them, so that everything would be clear.

He knocked lightly on the door, the husband of the eldest princess of Xiliang, Qin Zhigang came out to open the door, and when he saw Shi Mingqingyan, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It's you?" ”

Ming smiled and nodded, then flashed through the door and closed it.

Qin Yuyan, the eldest princess of Xiliang, was very happy to see him, and said with a smile: "You are really with the eldest princess Mo." ”
