"The third round has begun." Lu Zheng hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”

"My post." Cao Yu reached out and touched his arms.

"Posts? Oops! Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "It must have been Hou Ye's guards who took it away and went to participate in your place." ”

Cao Yu's face was slightly pale, and he was anxious as he watched the more than 20 people who had passed the third round enter the house one after another.

On the other side, Mu Qingyan's purity was also interrupted.

"Sui'an Hou Mansion?" He raised his eyebrows.

This was out of his expectations, although Cao Yu, the prince of Sui'an, had several contacts with him, he was not very close, how could he still find such an important day today.

And.

"People in Chang'an City think that I am in the arena, and they will come here to find me at this moment, I'm afraid it's not a good stubble." Mu Qingyan said.

Zhuang Gongzi knocked his palm with a fan on the side, obviously absent-minded.

Mu Qingyan cleared his throat.

"Huh? Hey, it doesn't matter if he is good at stubble or not, Sui'an Houfu is deeply favored by the emperor, but you are not bad, at least now the emperor is still your father-in-law, don't be afraid, go on. Zhuang Gongzi's answer was very perfunctory.

Mu Qingyan glanced at him and threw the chess pieces back into the basket.

"Please meet you in the main hall of the Hou Mansion of Sui'an."

Mu Qingyan's promise is equivalent to proving that he did not participate in the competition.

However, the game has been carried out so far, and he does not think that he can travel to the pool again.

Even if Na Ruo finds out that he has been tricked by Changning, he can only compare it head-on, so his appearance will not spoil Changning's affairs.

"The King of the County." The person who came grew this half-palm-length beard, and a dark brown robe was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with navy blue and silver threads, and his momentum was restrained, gentle and graceful.

Mu Qingyan looked at his face, with a wide forehead and wide cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, similar to Cao Yu.

"Master Hou." He returned the salute.

He lives in Liaodong all the year round, and although he is not unfamiliar with Chang'an, the capital of Great Chu, he is not familiar with it.

It's just that he has a special identity, and he is afraid that the emperor will be jealous, so he has never communicated with any officials in the DPRK and China, and he has no personal relationship at all, so it is not surprising that he can't recognize Sui Anhou in time.

But Sui Anhou could recognize him for the first time.

This is, of course, because of Mu Qingyan's unforgettable appearance at first sight.

Sui Anhou arched his hand: "The county king's eyes are like torches, and he really admires Cao." His gaze couldn't help but be wide.

"Master Hou is polite." Mu Qingyan stretched out his hand to signal, although he was young, he was steady and old, and he was quite orderly: "Master Hou is seated." ”

Although I can't guess Sui Anhou's intention at this moment, it is too easy for a person like Mu Qingyan to lift weights like this.

Sui Anhou put away his scrutinizing gaze and smiled implicitly.

"The king of the county is really extraordinary, my son is ignorant and wants to compete with Haoyue, it is really beyond his strength." Sui Anhou picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

Hearing the sound, Mu Qingyan's pupils shrank.

Cao Hou came to make amends for Cao Yu, or did he want to "atone" for Cao Yu.

Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows dryly.

"Master Hou, do you know, what is the full name of the Turkic prince Naruo?"

Cao Hou was dumbfounded, and he didn't know why Mu Qingyan suddenly jumped to Naruo's name, but he came here to ask for help, so he naturally had to bow his head.

"Alanaru."

"Alanaru means in Turkic, the golden sun on the steppe." Mu Qingyan said slowly, lifted his eyelids, withdrew his gaze from Cao Hou's face, and instead stared at his teacup lid knocking on it one by one.

"Golden Sun? The king of the county, Cao Mou never meant this. Cao Hou hurriedly stood up and explained.

He compared Haoyue just to show that Cao Yu was not as good as Mu Qingyan, but he didn't expect to bump into Na Ruo's name.

The so-called sun and moon compete for glory, his metaphor is thought-provoking.

Mu Qingyan smiled: "What did Master Hou say, you are an elder and a famous general in the fight against the Turks, Qingyan has heard and witnessed a lot of your courage at the beginning, you will never let others lose your prestige." ”

He smiled meaningfully and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

"It's nature, it's nature." Cao Hou calmly fixed his head, but a thin layer of sweat was already forming in his palms.

Talking to this Mu Lang is really thrilling, and quietly, he grabbed a little bit and played it here.

Cao Hou obviously heard Mu Qingyan's voice.

It is true that he Mu Qingyan is indifferent and inactive, but he will not make concessions to the affairs of the Turks.

Liaodong has fought with the Turks for so many years, and the place and faith that his ancestors of the Mu family guarded with blood and sweat must not be desecrated.

So this time the match against the Turks cannot afford to lose.

No matter what Cao Hou plays with or what he comes to talk to him about, this matter is his bottom line, and it cannot be crossed.

Mu Qingyan laid things out clearly, although his attitude was firm, his methods were not strong, and he could even be said to be soft.

In the face of such a skillful skill, Cao Hou must of course have to fight up the spirit of 120,000 points.

"Master Hou might as well speak up if he has something to say." Mu Qingyan made a gesture of please.

"The king of the county is fast, so Cao will not go around in circles," Cao Hou took out a post in his sleeve and handed it over, "The king of the county is high-spirited, please don't be like a child." ”

Mu Qingyan took the name card and looked at it.

Cao Yu's name handwriting is soft and strong, upright and beautiful, the same as the handwriting on the stargazing map.

It's her.

She wrote a famous post for him herself.

Mu Qingyan was sure that only Cao Yu had this honor.

Because the name card that Zhuang Gongzi gave him before, Yan Qingmu, which belonged to him, was the character of an ordinary scribe, and there was no half of the characteristics at all.

"This is Xiao'er's name, he just fell off the street and was injured, and if he can't participate, he will be disappointed by the emperor, and if he wins the championship, it will be a shame for the princess, and please ask the king of the county to help." Sui Anhou said.

"Master Hou's reason," Mu Qingyan moved the name back and forth on his fingertips, "It's really so that this king can't refuse." ”

Zhuang Gongzi looked thrilled behind the pillars, grabbed a small guy and asked.

"Who is this old man, I don't have the ability to make Mu Qingyan angry like this."

The little guy smiled: "You don't know, where do the minions know so much." ”

"Go, go," Zhuang Gongzi waved his hand, and Mu Qingyan also got up to see off the guests: "Master Hou go slowly." ”

Sui Anhou didn't know whether he was happy or angry, so he just got up and said goodbye.

"She treated him like this, and he disappointed her." Mu Qingyan has a famous post between his fingers, like a cold pine standing in the snow.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Zhuang Gongzi shouted, and the fart followed.

On the field, Cao Yu stood in the shadows, his eyebrows furrowed.

As the prince of Sui'an, he is not known to everyone, if he really says that the post is lost and makes trouble, there will be one more person in it, wouldn't he make a joke and make the Turks criticize.

When Cao Yu was in a dilemma, a clear figure fell from the sky.

Mu Qingyan made a lot of effort, and he ran through Cao's Mansion to find it here and threw the post into his arms.

"This ......" Cao Yu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a thousand emotions in his heart were overturned, indescribable.

"This is your last chance."

Mu Qingyan looked at him, "I know that this matter is not what you want, and you still have time to remedy it at this time." ”

"Thank you to the king of the county," Cao Yu clenched his fists and said: "The king of the county, Gao Yi, Cao Yu and Changning, will not forget in this life." ”

Mu Qingyan's chin raised slightly, and he solemnly reminded again: "This is the last time." ”
