054. Mu Ziheng's "secret" there
Looking at her cheeks like the morning glow on the horizon, Mu Ziheng had an answer in his heart, he changed the topic with a smile and asked, "Can the cloth army map be given?" ”
"Just sent away. Otherwise, how can you say that it is crowded today? ”
"Just left?"
"Well, you're here before he walks on his front foot."
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Mu Ziheng showed great regret that he didn't have the opportunity to meet Xia Ji.
"What's the pity?" Luo Ge was curious as he placed the brewed tea in front of him.
"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to meet the little prince of Su Qianguo." Mu Ziheng shook his head while sipping tea.
"Do you know who he is?" Luo Ge was curious that he actually knew.
"You forgot who I am, these five wild horses, there is probably no news that I don't know, right?"
"And what do you think about this?"
Mu Ziheng knew that Luo Ge was Xia Ji's half-sister in his previous life, and although the two had not met much, they still had some ideas.
"If Xia Ji can become the emperor of Su Qianguo, he should be a Ming Jun, although he is Su Xuan's son, but his character is completely inherited from your mother's character. I haven't seen it, but I've heard stories about her since I was a child. ”
"Then tell me, what kind of person is my mother in your story?"
"The first beauty of the five wilderness and eight horses, and the first talented woman. She is proficient in ancient and modern poetry, can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can be described as a rare woman with both talent and color. Even now, as long as someone remembers or is lucky enough to see her, they will continue to sigh when they mention it. ”
"Sigh what?"
"I sighed that back then, on the bank of the West Lake, she amazed everyone with a simple poem."
"What kind of poem is it?"
"The most famous is the sentence 'The beauty is not as good as the West Lake view, and I am intoxicated and do not want to return'. If this poem were said by a man, it would definitely be said to be cheesy, but I didn't expect the first beauty to say the same, you can imagine how much of a sensation it caused at the time. ”
"It's conceivable." Luo Ge suddenly understood a little bit about what kind of person his mother was, and why she was called a talented woman by the world.
"And what do you think after hearing this?"
Luo Ge was slightly stunned and did not speak. Just filled a second cup of tea for him.
In fact, Luo Ge has never had a concept of her mother Mrs. Luo Yue since she was a child, the first time she knew her mother's appearance was in Su Xuan's room, she inadvertently broke into his secret room one day, which was full of portraits of her mother, in addition to some unsightly portraits, there were some mothers from different angles, the most memorable one for her was the one hanging in the middle, there was only a peach blossom tree in the background, and her mother took an oil-paper umbrella and stood under the tree, looking at her with a smile on her face.
The clothes and hair accessories of Mrs. Luo Yue are all from her girlhood. When Luo Ge first saw it, he guessed that it was what she looked like before she got married. After that meeting, Luo Ge was also the last time to see him. Later, she tried to paint the image of her mother in her memory, but she couldn't draw the portrait she saw.
"Why don't you speak?" Mu Ziheng, who had been waiting for her for a long time, interrupted her thoughts.
"I remembered something." Luo Ge added tea to her again.
"Then do you want to hear about Mu Ziyao's situation?"
"Yes."
The topic at this moment brought up Luo Ge's interest, she had been staying in the palace all the time, and she didn't have a chance to go to the court, so she was really curious about what the rest of the month would become.
"I didn't expect that Liu Hang is really a wonderful person. He had learned all of Mu Ziyao's habits exactly the same, and if it weren't for the process of changing the human skin mask every day, even I would wonder if Mu Ziyao had returned from the summer resort. ”
"And how is the recruitment on the border?"
"It can be said that the development is rapid, and the people that Brother Wang is looking for have actually gathered 5,000 people to start training."
"That's the name of the Wang family?"
"yes." Mu Ziheng no longer waited for Luo Ge to add tea, but did it himself.
"And what if someone comes to hear it?"
"My people have already arranged it. Early on, there were last secret guards who were ready to deliver news to Su Qianguo's detailed work. ”
"Then you, how do you determine who is from Su Qianguo?"
"It really took me some time to talk about it." Mu Ziheng excitedly changed his position, took a sip of tea and said, "You may not know that when I sent people to the border, Brother Wang originally didn't plan to find a large number of secret guards. He said that the affairs on the border only need to be supervised. But I want to do a full set of dramas, besides, what I know about the Qianji Pavilion of the Su Qianguo for so many years, whenever there is a major change in various countries, the Qianji Pavilion will definitely send someone to control public opinion. There may even be cases of blending into the recruitment team.
"I immediately decided to report to Brother Wang, and asked him to agree to me to send more people to the border. After hearing this, Brother Wang directly asked me to send all the people and horses of the dog department and the pig department to the border. ”
"How many people are that?"
"Plus there are 156 people who can go out on missions in the past two years."
"So much!" Luo Ge didn't expect that a branch of the Dark Guard could have so many people.
Looking at her surprised expression, Mu Ziheng smiled and said, "Mu Jinguo's secret guard is just like the Thousand Machine Pavilion, but it is not as large as the Thousand Machine Pavilion. There are twelve of them, and we have twelve, but the naming is different.
"The twelve leaders of the Thousand Machine Pavilion of Su Qianguo are all Su Ling's personal secret guards, while the twelve leaders of the Mu Jin Kingdom have their own duties, and only some of the rat and cattle departments are Brother Wang's personal guards."
"In that case, Brother Wang has more secret guards than Su Ling?"
Mu Ziheng shook his head and said, "Less." Because I'm already half of his secret guard. But I can't stay by his side all the time, after all, I still have to take care of the twelve. So I found a few people with martial arts comparable to me to take turns to protect him. ”
"Oh." Luo Ge nodded understandingly, "So now are you resting or lazy?" ”
"It's definitely a break." Mu Ziheng smiled, "I don't dare to leave when I'm on duty, if someone takes advantage of it, it won't be that simple." ”
Luo Ge smiled, and then asked a question that he had just remembered: "Then, in the past, you could accompany me for a long time, is that also a vacation?" ”
Mu Ziheng was worried that he would be asked this question one day when he first met Luo Ge, he had been worried for ten years, and finally said the reason today.
"It was no accident that I met you from the first time. Everything was arranged by Brother Wang. My task was to protect you in his place when he was not with you. Didn't you notice that I never showed up every time he showed up? ”
Luo Ge recalled the past, and only remembered after his reminder that she had doubted the relationship between the two many years ago, but because she had never seen Mu Ziheng's true face, when she did, she forgot about it. Fortunately, he reminded her now, and she thought about it again.
"So, you've been guarding me for ten years? Even my first apprenticeship?? ”
Mu Ziheng nodded and said, "It's almost like that." I've been by Brother Wang's side since you first appeared in Lady Yiyu's Bamboo Garden. Later, Brother Wang was worried about your safety, so I didn't want to do personal protection. Later, when you returned to Xiafu, I was summoned. Since then, he has been with Brother Wang. ”
"Now, I'm not your object of protection, isn't it wrong for you to tell me this?"
Mu Ziheng shook his head and said, "There's nothing bad about it." You are Xia Tianqing, and you are not really Luo Ge. Besides, if you like Brother Wang so much, you will definitely not harm him. ”
"Who likes him anymore?" Luo Ge immediately denied his words after hearing his words. But her shy actions have betrayed her.
Mu Ziheng didn't expose it, just smiled and continued to taste tea. He waited until a pot of tea had lost much taste before leaving.
Because Luo Ge, who had been sitting for a long time and had not exercised, walked around the house before falling asleep. She paced while thinking about Mu Ziheng's words.
Over the past years, it turns out that she has been living under the protection of Mu Ziqin. She has always been the one who was held in the palm of Mu Ziqin's hand, but she broke his heart again and again, the more Luo Ge thought about it, the more guilty she became, causing her to not sleep much that night, she kept thinking about every detail of Mu Ziqin's kindness to her.
By the time sleepiness hit, it was already the time when the sky was slightly white. Luo Ge fell asleep on the edge of the bed with his clothes closed.
It wasn't until the next morning that Lu Zhi came into the house and told her to get up and go to the Qingxia Palace to say goodbye that she reacted - she didn't sleep well last night.
Lu Zhi looked at Luo Ge with a tired face and said, "Niangniang, the king didn't come last night, why are you still so bad?" ”
Luo Ge yawned and said, "Last night there were a lot of nightmares, which disturbed my sleep. Do you think the face is so bad? ”
"The complexion is slightly dark, and the blackness under the eyes is too obvious." Lu Zhi said while combing Luo Ge's hair.
Looking at the people in the bronze mirror, Luo Ge said: "Then there is no way, you will find a way to cover some of the palace with rouge in a while." ”
Luo Ge's decision was right, because on this day, I don't know where the Qiu Liangren got nervous. changed his temper from the past, and arrived at the Summer Palace early.
An Wanqiu has not been treated by the Queen Mother since she became a beloved, after all, she did not rely on the palace concubine selection system to become a harem concubine, and when she became a beloved, her temper did not restrain at all. She was the last to arrive every morning and dusk, and she was also hastily called sick and retired early. In the long run, the Queen Mother has a lot of opinions about her.
Looking at the person who was dressed in new clothes and was now smiling in the Qingxia Palace, Luo Ge stepped forward to talk to her for the first time.
"I didn't expect that Qiu Liangren, who would never arrive early, would come earlier than the main palace today."
An Wanqiu turned to face her and saluted respectfully, and said, "The concubine just wants to change her old style and stop being lazy from today on." ”
Luo Ge was taken aback by her words, and she controlled her emotions and asked, "What is the reason for your sudden change of mind?" ”
"Mother, don't say it so ugly. The concubine just doesn't want the queen mother to feel that the concubine is not enterprising? ”
