Chapter 2 Qingwan and Jingyao
Mu Qingwan couldn't figure out Jing Yao's true thoughts, and don't blame Mu Qingwan for the conspiracy theory in her heart, after all, no one has the obligation to be nice to another person for no reason.
Therefore, out of politeness, Mu Qingwan only replied to the letter written by Jing Yao in a few strokes, both out of politeness and alienation.
However, Jing Yao's letter was not interrupted because of Mu Qingwan's attitude, not only that, but later, Jing Yao would regularly send people to send him some gadgets, and also enclosed a letter to explain the reason, such as when he found something fun and delicious, and sent it to Yunyun. Mu Qingwan really didn't understand why. In the past, a fixed guard came to send it, but today, I didn't expect that this time it was indeed in person.
In the past five years, the wind and rain have been smooth, but the calm pattern of the world has been broken in short.
The Tallinn tribes of the steppe, and the other tribes of the steppe one after another, unified the steppe, but the ambitions of the Tallinn tribes became increasingly apparent.
A year ago, the peace that the ministers had covered up was finally exposed, as the Tallinn tribes officially launched an attack on the other three countries, which was triggered by the Four Kingdoms Tournament five years earlier.
Mu Chen did not enter the top three, so he was not eligible to participate in the Four Nations Championship, and in the end, the male representatives selected by Dajing selected the best from the Fengyun Club and the examination, while the female representatives were selected from Yide College.
Because each country selects ten people, five men and five women. The representatives of Dajing, Mu Qingwan knows An Zaixu of the Founding Mansion and Jinghong of the Dingguo Mansion, and the female representatives all know Li Ying, Mu Qingyin, Jiang Ruohan, Zhou Huanting and Yun Zige.
In the final results of the competition between the same Zhou State, Xuanguo and the Grassland, there were winners and losers, but the Grassland lost the worst, losing five consecutive years, 1,000 sheep and 500 horses every year.
After three years like this, the grassland finally couldn't help but erupt, and began to attack the border of the three countries frequently, and even openly slaughtered several villages in the surface realm.
Later, I don't know what agreement Zhou and Xuan reached together, and the grassland stopped its indiscriminate attacks on the Three Kingdoms and aimed all its firepower at Dajing.
When the news reached the capital, the peace that the ministers had whitewashed was finally broken, and despite his reluctance, Emperor Jianye was forced to send troops to attack the Tallinn tribes. Out of the pride of a great power, if it was a simple grassland invasion, Emperor Jianye would not be so worried, mainly because of the attitude of the other two countries. Xuanguo and Zhou watched from the wall, and Emperor Jianye was afraid that if the three kingdoms joined forces to attack Dajing, how could this be good? Although Dajing is the strongest, how can it stand up to the alliance of the three kingdoms.
Emperor Jianye himself was afraid, so he immediately sent people to the border city, and the last person selected was his least favorite Seventh Prince. Emperor Jianye is inclined to be elegant, but Jing Li is a facial paralysis, so naturally he is not liked by Emperor Jianye. But there is no way, the prince is seriously ill and can't travel far, Jing Li is the most capable among the princes and princesses, and he is the son-in-law, he should also be considered, when Emperor Jianye was still hesitating, it was the prince who took the initiative to let the seventh prince Jing Li garrison the border stopper, and the queen cried to Emperor Jianye, hoping that his youngest son could keep Dajing stable, Emperor Jianye was greatly moved and agreed to the prince's proposal.
When Jing Li left, Jing Yao, who was only fourteen years old, also asked Emperor Jianye, and finally got permission and went with Jing Li.
Mu Qingwan had already been told this by letter, so Mu Qingwan was so surprised when she saw Jing Yao, who was supposed to be in the border city, appear on her Zhuangzi.
"Why can't I come? I'm just here to see you. ”
Jing Yao grinned.
Sleeping in the border city, the conditions are difficult, Jing Yao's skin has become rough, people have tanned, a mouth, and a mouthful of bright white teeth are more prominent.
"Oh."
Mu Qingwan replied, and the two looked at each other speechlessly. Compared with the natural relationship between the two people five years ago, when they meet again, the atmosphere is a little silent and a little embarrassing, after all, some things really happen, just like the pimple that runs through Mu Qingwan's heart, she will always feel uncomfortable.
"I'm stopping by to see you, and I'll be leaving soon."
Jing Yao didn't say what the purpose of coming to Jiangnan was, and Mu Qingwan wouldn't ask, although he could roughly guess what the reason was.
Su Lan and Su Zhu, who Mu Qingwan sent out to establish a news organization before, have made small achievements now, at least now, Mu Qingwan can know some important news about Dajing for the first time.
After Jing Li was stationed in the border fortress, he quickly stabilized the border fortress, and every invasion of Tallinn was defeated. However, a few months ago, Xuanguo, who had been silent, joined the war, and Xuanguo was unexpected, suddenly attacked, and attacked the Tallinn tribe back and forth, which made Dajing suffer a big loss, and most of the grain and grass in the rear were also burned.
However, what I didn't expect was that the attacks of the Tallinn tribes and Xuanguo became more and more frequent, and then the grain transport officers in the rear were delayed, and in the end only ten carts of grain were transported, which is said to be a difficult ......
Mu Qingwan guessed that Jing Yao came to Jiangnan secretly, probably for the sake of food, and the imperial court did not give any effort, so he could only rely on himself.
"This is for you, I'm leaving."
Jing Yao opened his mouth, and in the end he only said this sentence, leaving Mu Qingwan with a small box and leaving Zhuangzi.
Mu Qingwan looked at the direction Jing Yao left, and her mood was very complicated.
In the box is a clay doll, which is exactly the appearance of Mu Qingwan five years ago, with a smile and a realistic image.
Mu Qingwan stared at the little doll for a while, and finally sighed. Mu Qingwan has gradually grown up, especially in the past two years, after her appearance has grown, walking outside will cause trouble. Gradually, Mu Qingwan, who was originally lacking roots and tendons, also opened up, Jing Yao's thoughts about herself, Mu Qingwan didn't want to think that it was for some purpose, after all, there were more women with better family backgrounds than herself.
"Hu Zhao."
Mu Qingwan beckoned Hu Zhao over.
"Miss."
Hu Zhao is seventeen years old, with the blood of a foreign man, and when he grows up, Hu Zhao's facial features are more three-dimensional and profound. A pair of light blue pupils, usually covered by potions on the outside, tall and straight, is a typical male model's figure.
"The eleventh prince needs a lot of grain, I'm afraid it won't be available in a short time, you let the grain shop at the bottom count the current grain stock, and sell it to him as much as possible. Be careful not to be too obvious and not let people find out that it's our business. ”
Mu Qingwan sighed, she should help both in public and private.
Let's do our part, the soldiers are already working the frontier, and they are always in danger of losing their lives, if there is not enough food, it is really miserable, and there are many soldiers under the uncle.
"Goo, goo."
Mu Ping was carried into the living room by his sister-in-law, and the little doll opened her hands and asked Mu Qingwan to hug her.
I don't know why this little guy is so clingy to himself, he always likes to pester himself these days.
However, the arrival of the little guy made Mu Qingwan not care about the troubles just now.
Jing Yao, who left Zhuangzi, was bitter in his heart. When I was a child, whenever I saw Mu Qingwan, I couldn't help but want to get close, but because I didn't want others to notice, I restrained myself, so I had good contact with Mu Qingwan.
Originally, I thought it was just because I lacked playmates since I was a child, but as I grew up and learned more things, I gradually understood the different meaning. It's just that five years ago, there was a gap between the two people after all.
