Mu Zicheng immediately turned the horse's head, before dark, intercepted the 20,000 horses of the advance force of the Western Regions army at the southern foot of the rooftop, fought fiercely in the middle of the night, defeated most of the centurians, and the leading Western Regions generals led less than 8,000 people to retreat to the territory of Ganshan and flee.

Mu Zicheng was worried about Texas, reorganized the team, and immediately sent troops to gallop back at night.

When he was thirty miles away from Texas, he saw the flames outside Texas, as if a fierce battle was raging, Mu Zicheng led the army to accelerate immediately, and when he entered five or six miles, he only heard the sound of shouting and killing, rockets shot in mid-air, and the war horses rushed wildly, it was the extremely brave cavalry of the Western Regions,

In the firelight, he saw from a distance that the third prince Xia Wenxuan was also in the battlefield, Ling Dongwu knew that the third prince Xia Wenxuan's martial arts were mediocre, and hurriedly rode to his side to kill, the third prince saw that Ling Dongwu, who was in a sassy posture, suddenly appeared beside him, and in the fight, he always kept his left and right, completely a guard's posture, and his heart couldn't help but warm.

Mu Zicheng led the army back in time to help, and immediately participated in the fierce battle, and the deputy general Jiao Hongliang who stayed behind attacked vertically and horizontally, and the Western Regions army immediately collapsed, scattered and fled, and finally counted the battlefield, killed 20,000 enemy troops in the Western Regions, and the remaining 5,000 enemy troops were all captured.

The battle was won, the three princes set up a banquet, dozens of tables of banquets were set up in the courtyard, a fire was lit in the middle of the venue, the whole sheep on the top was roasted with oil, the aroma of meat came with the wind, ordinary soldiers sat outside to eat and drink, and the three princes set up another banquet in the flower hall, in addition to Xia Wenxuan and several military generals sitting at the main table, Yang Mingyuan was also at that table,

Yang Mingyuan saw Mu Zicheng, Ling Dongwu brothers and sisters arrived, and beckoned to them, Mu Zicheng brothers and sisters sat down under the head of the master Yang Mingyuan, and the three princes saw that everyone was here, stood up and said: "This king and all the soldiers have lived and died together for so long, but they have never been together like this, today with the victory of General Mu, we must drink bitterly when we have the opportunity to win the battle against the Western Regions," Xia Wenxuan said the scene before the banquet, and everyone was quiet for a while,

"Thank you," everyone said in unison,

"Don't be polite, this king treats you all as friends......"

For Xia Wenxuan's eloquence, Ling Dongwu has always admired it, his extremely incendiary speech ability is really innate to the royal children, she can't reach it, sure enough, as soon as Xia Wenxuan's words were finished, all the soldiers in and outside the hall were immediately excited, they all stood up with the wine bowl, shouted "Dry," and then tilted their necks to pour the wine in the bowl into their stomachs,

The wine table is very lively, because the people sitting are all soldiers, rough men, what you want to drink is this boldness, whether you can drink it or not, you have to drink a bowl of wine, Ling Dongwu also followed them, and drank a few bowls of wine in a daze, although Ling Dongwu had some alcohol, but he was also a little drunk,

Most of the generals sitting here are born in cloth, received the hospitality of the three princes, they all feel very happy, after the banquet, the three princes moved out a guqin, they first stroked a song, but they heard the melodious sound of the piano, wonderful and abnormal, everyone sitting here praised, the three princes are really the dragon and phoenix among the people, not only the wisdom is outstanding, even the guqin also played so beautifully, it is really the first person in the world,

After the third prince finished playing, he looked at Ling Dongwu with a smile, "Why don't you ask Miss Ling to dance a song to cheer up?"

Everyone immediately supported it, and Ling Dongwu did not shirk it, and said with a smile: "Then it will be ugly,"

As soon as the ugly words came out, Ling Dongwu's people had already fallen in the field like a shock, their clothes were ethereal, out of the world, and everyone cheered again, the jade fingers of the three princes were lightly raised, and a soulful and beautiful tune sounded, and Ling Dongwu's silver sword whistled, and it had flown with her floating figure, flashing with silver light.

Under the starry sky, Mu Zicheng watched quietly there, listening carefully, the piano and sword were like old friends for many years, and they were so well matched.

For a time, everyone's gods took it, the soul took it, the silver sword of the beautiful woman fluttered like a shock, graceful like a dragon, and the sound of the piano of the three princes was clear and melodious, lingering and moving,

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in the beautiful sword dance, Mu Zicheng looked at the third prince, but saw him staring at Ling Dongwu there, and Ling Dongwu also looked back at him with a smile, their eyes looked so eager and loving, but it was only fleeting, Ling Dongwu returned to his seat with a smile as usual, and the third prince Xia Wenxuan smiled and admired Ling Dongwu's sword dance.

Mu Zicheng's heart was gloomy, Ling Dongwu was such a peerless beauty, extremely intelligent, both civil and military, and the third prince Xia Wenxuan was really a natural pair, a pair set by the ground, his heart instantly turned over the river and the sea, and the wine seemed to be bitter when he drank it.

Ling Dongwu's face was flushed because of drinking and dancing with swords, and it looked even more like a hibiscus with a willow like an eyebrow, and the three princes who watched it were in a trance, "Dongwu, can you play and sing a song?"

If it was a weekday, Ling Dongwu would definitely refuse, she came out of Xiao Haotian's Zhennan Palace, she had never touched a musical instrument, and she had never sung, but today she drank a few glasses of wine, and her brother and master came back again, she was happy in her heart, so she replied with a smile: "I can only play the guzheng,"

"Come on, take a guzheng," the third prince Xia Wenxuan immediately ordered,

Ling Dongwu was clear, a string of smooth notes floated out, and she immediately sang: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight, I want to go back by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, the height is not cold, dance to find out the shadow, what is the long goodbye to the round, people have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope people will be long, thousands of miles together,"

Everyone here, including Mu Zicheng, heard Ling Dongwu playing the piano and singing for the first time, as soon as such a beautiful and moving song came out, it immediately amazed the four seats, which was even more shocking than the sword dance just now, everyone looked at Ling Dongwu like a foolish sunrise, and couldn't look away for a long time.

The three princes are music and rhythm experts, listen to the first-class sound of the piano, the people who play the piano are sincere, very moving, this lyrics and music are even more wonderful, incredible, and then look at the Ling Dong dance who plays the piano with a low head, ten fingers Qianqian, the more I look at it, the more I feel beautiful and moving, thinking that Ling Dongwu is not only broad-minded, but also good at business and financial management, shrewd and capable, intelligent, worthy of the name can sing good "martial arts", and I am every time I see her, there are gratifying different beauty presented, my heart is swinging, I just want to, Only such a woman by her side can live this life in vain,

The third prince has long had a princess and a few favored side concubines, and has given birth to a son and three daughters for him, but these concubines were all born in a big family in the deep gate and raised in the deep palace.

The third prince came to Texas this time, and there were also two side concubines by his side, Concubine De accompanied and took care of him, but his eyes were increasingly attracted by Ling Dongwu, hoping that there could be a woman like Ling Dongwu who was both talented and beautiful, taking care of his daily life when he was comfortable, and reading under the lamp, which was his red-sleeved interpretation flower; In times of danger, they can fight side by side to protect his life, and they are the same forest birds that depend on him for life and death.

After Ling Dongwu finished dancing for a long time, everyone sitting slowly eased their minds, only to hear the third prince sigh: "It's really a fairy song in the world, if there is no war, it would be great, accompanied by beautiful women, cooking tea and playing the piano, what a wonderful thing in life,"

Mu Zicheng listened to the words of the third prince, looked up at him, and saw that he looked at Ling Dongwu's eyes with eager love, although he had been living upside down since he was a teenager, but he was not incomprehensible, and the eyes of the third prince were too intense, and these words were also very explicit, and his heart couldn't help but sink down,

He looked at Ling Dongwu again, he didn't know if it was because he drank wine, or if he had affection for the handsome third prince at all, she was also looking at the eyes of the three princes with a spring on her face, and saluted Xia Wenxuan narrowly: "Thank you for the praise of the third prince, the little woman is ugly,"

After Mu Zicheng listened to the words of the third prince, his heart was depressed, and when he saw Ling Dongwu looking at the third prince's eyes, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, the more he looked at it, the more it was not a taste, but he felt that there was a fire in his heart, as if he was about to jump out of his chest,

After the banquet was dispersed, Mu Zicheng kept sending Ling Dongwu back, and Ling Dongwu brought some of the exquisite dried fruits and snacks from the palace sent by Xia Wenxuan and put them on the table, "Brother, you try these, they were all sent to the third prince from the palace, and he gave me some more, which are very delicious, and you can't buy them outside,"

Ling Dongwu laughed, went to pour Mu Zicheng a cup of tea again, and saw that he was sullen, a little strange: "Brother, what's wrong with you,"

"The food that the third prince gave you is the best, and the food you live in is all the best, he is really good to you," Mu Zicheng's voice sounded a little tight,

"Of course, he deserves the best for me, because I have created the greatest value for him, and I have earned him so much silver," Ling Dongwu picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, and then picked up another and sent it to Mu Zicheng's mouth, and said affectionately: "Brother, you eat,"

Mu Zicheng twisted his head to the side, "I won't eat it, I'm afraid that if I get used to eating the things in this palace, I won't be able to eat anything outside,"

"That's right, it's just because I'm used to eating these things in the palace, and it really doesn't taste right when I eat things outside, but fortunately, the third prince is good to me, even when I'm running around doing business outside, he will also send someone to send these things over, hahaha," Ling Dongwu drank a lot of wine tonight, his brain reaction was slow, and his eyes were not easy to use, so he didn't see the unhappiness on Mu Zicheng's face at all, and he didn't hear the sour taste in Mu Zicheng's words,

Mu Zicheng walked out of Ling Dongwu's courtyard, feeling sad and angry in his heart, Xia Wenxuan was handsome and elegant, with a noble temperament, he was a prince, and he could be an emperor in the future, he could give Ling Dongwu the best everything in the world, the most comfortable life, and he was just a young general who knew a little martial arts, he was homeless, he couldn't give Ling Dongwu any happiness at all, compared with the dignified prince, it was really the difference between himself and the prince,

Thinking of Ling Dongwu and Xia Wenxuan's banquet with the qin sword and Ming, talented and beautiful, incomparably matched, Mu Zicheng's heart was sour, and in his mind and heart was the scene of tacit coordination between the two of them, he only felt cold all over, like falling into an ice cellar,
