Ling Dongwu looked at the handwriting on the paper, and didn't know what it was like, the wind was blowing on her face, blowing the corners of her clothes. She suddenly felt in a trance, as if she was still in the Zhennan Wangfu in Wukou City, the Xiao Haotian who taught her to read and write under the lamp, the Xiao Haotian who took her to gallop on a horse, and the Xiao Haotian who spoiled her and cared for her.

If she could, she never knew how good he was, looking at the imperial city that was gradually disappearing in the distance, distress swept over, she was defeated after all, a teardrop hung on her fine eyelashes, like a bead curtain that had been invaded by the rain, it looked gorgeous and sad, and she called softly in her mouth: "Lord Wang!" The voice was so bitter that it seemed to seep into Coptis water.

Xia Wenxuan rushed up with someone at this time, Zhou Ze nodded to him, glanced at Ling Dongwu, and rode back to Northern Desert Shang Kyoto.

Xia Wenxuan looked at Ling Dongwu's crying appearance, feeling depressed, she didn't expect her to really be moved by this Zhou Ze, so she asked with a light smile: "Your relationship with General Zhou is really good, you refuse to stay for him, and General Zhou even came to see you off!" ”

Ling Dongwu was still annoyed that he ignored him in the Yanqing Hall at this time, and because of Zhou Ze's words just now, her heart was stirred, so she deliberately raised her eyebrows and said: "Yes, ten miles away, reluctant to give up." ”

Xia Wenxuan saw Ling Dongwu talking like this, knowing that she must resent in her heart that she didn't help her in Yanqing Palace, thinking that when she returned to Nanzhao in the future, she would have to deal with Prime Minister Song Cheng, and there were still many places where Ling Dongwu and Mu Zicheng were needed, although she was angry in her heart, she still smiled quietly on her face: "Dongwu, you blame this king for not helping you speak in Yanqing Palace!" ”

Ling Dongwu snorted coldly and did not speak.

"Dongwu, it's not that this king doesn't help you speak, it's that this king doesn't know what you thought at the time. They are all rumoring that you and General Zhou made a lifelong promise on the grassland, and this king also thought that you had affection for General Zhou, so he didn't dare to make a rash statement in the Yanqing Palace. Later, when I saw that you tried your best to express that you wanted to go back to Nanzhao, didn't this king also speak! ”

Although Ling Dongwu was angry with Xia Wenxuan in his heart, it was reasonable to listen to his words, who let himself be so high-profile in promoting his ambiguous relationship with Zhou Ze when he was around, it was understandable for others to misunderstand. She was already very arrogant, and when she saw Xia Wenxuan explaining to herself in such a low voice, she was angry.

Thinking that he would be able to return to Nanzhao soon and see Mu Zicheng, Ling Dongwu's mood also improved, and he was not lonely when he talked and laughed with Xia Wenxuan along the way.

***

In fact, when they came back, the speed of the team's walking was not as fast as when they went, because this time they brought back from the Northern Desert Country when Hengyang City was broken, and the princesses and mothers who were taken away were all daughters who needed to sit in the carriage, so everyone walked slowly, and when they arrived in Huaiyang City, it was already four months later.

Seeing that it was less than a hundred miles away from Huaiyang City, Ling Dongwu could no longer hold back his thoughts about Mu Zicheng, said hello to Xia Wenxuan, and didn't look at Xia Wenxuan's face that changed color in an instant, and took the lead in beating his horse and running towards Huaiyang City.

After Mu Zicheng left from Ling Dongwu, there was hardly a day when he didn't miss her, he only felt that his days were like a year, and he looked forward to Ling Dongwu coming back as soon as possible. In addition to missing Ling Dongwu, he was also worried, worried about Ling Dongwu's safety, and worried that Ling Dongwu would meet his old friend, although he believed that Ling Dongwu was not a water-based Yang Hua person, but Xiao Haotian's opponent was too strong, and the strength made him almost not confident, Mu Zicheng was often worried that Ling Dongwu and Xiao Haotian's old relationship would rekindle.

On this day, Mu Zicheng returned from military training and inspected the newly built military base before returning to the mansion. Since he was appointed as the garrison of Huaiyang, he began a new recruitment. When recruiting soldiers, he personally selected those sturdy woodcutters, farmers, and coolies. And no one who can speak well and have a slick eye does not need it, because once these people go to war, they often pull their companions away when they are in danger, and once they are caught, they will put the blame on their comrades. Because of their eloquence, those Mu Na's companions always couldn't distinguish them, and often became their scapegoats.

Mu Zicheng not only strictly trained the army in Huaiyang City, but also took measures to reward cultivation and weaving, reduce taxes, and call on the surrounding residents to reclaim the vast barren mountains and fields.

When he returned to the room, he didn't wait for dinner, so he couldn't wait to open the secret letter on the table, and during this time he slowly got the news that Ling Dongwu did not rekindle his old relationship with Xiao Haotian, but had an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Ze, the new Lord Batu of the Northern Desert. Now the secret letter in his hand reads, Emperor Xuan Ran Shouxu of the Northern Desert wants to leave Ling Dongwu in the Northern Desert and be Mrs. Batu, Mu Zicheng looked at the news, like a sharp chisel into his brain, he clenched his hand into a fist, and the green tendons were on the back of his hand.

Ling Dongwu rode a horse, the closer he got to Huaiyang City, the more his heart beat harder, this is the cowardice of homesickness! Finally saw the high city wall of Huaiyang City, and could vaguely see hundreds of people riding on horses outside the city, one in the middle of which was dressed in white and silver armor, with a face like a crown of jade, mighty and extraordinary, but it was not the Zicheng brother she had been thinking about for a long time!

Mu Zicheng also saw Ling Dongwu at this time, he rode towards Ling Dongwu, Ling Dongwu saw that Mu Zicheng was in front of him, turned over and dismounted, and ran towards Mu Zicheng, the dry and clear sky had clouds, the shadows of the sun were deep and shallow, and the face of Mu Zicheng, who was running towards her, was half bright and half dark, and her facial features were deep, her eyes were still as bright, and her long eyelashes were like butterfly wings to fly.

Ling Dongwu had the illusion of "how can he grow more and more beautiful" for a moment, and then her eyes were blurred, and she found that she could no longer see his expression clearly.

Ling Dongwu took a deep breath, ran closer to Mu Zicheng, and shouted with a smile, "Brother Zicheng." Tears of joy finally fell.

"Dong'er," before the voice fell, Ling Dongwu only felt that her eyes were flickering, and she had been hugged by Mu Zicheng. Mu Zicheng's arms were tightly wrapped around her shoulders, her chin gently pressed against her forehead, and the warm body temperature enveloped her whole body.

Time seemed to stand still, and when Ling Dongwu reacted, he saw that Mu Zicheng's relatives at the gate of the city were all quiet, and their eyes looked at them together. Her face burned hot all at once, and she struggled for a moment, pushing him away with all her strength.

Of course, Mu Zicheng knew that there were people around, and at this time, he didn't care about the sight of these relatives, and his heart was churning like the sea after a storm, and the stormy waves were approaching the shore he had built with sourness. seemed to forget the time, forgot to leave, forgot the pain, and only Ling Dongwu was in his eyes: "Dong'er, you're finally back!" ”

"Yes, I'm back, Brother Zicheng!" Ling Dongwu watched the face of longing day and night really appear in front of her, she almost couldn't believe her eyes, she stared stupidly, for fear that he would disappear in the blink of an eye, Mu Zicheng smiled, his eyes were full of fine ripples, his expression was so soft under the sun, it was intoxicating, and it was not much different from the scene in Ling Dongwu's dream.

Xia Wenxuan and the others were already visible from afar at this time, and Mu Zicheng led everyone to meet Xia Wenxuan.

Xia Wenxuan and his entourage entered Huaiyang City, and Mu Zicheng, as the garrison of Huaiyang City, of course, held a feast to catch everyone. Xia Wenxuan and his entourage were indeed tired after four months of traveling. Now that he has finally reached his own territory, he ordered him to go down, rest in Huaiyang City for a few days, and then return to Qingzhou.

Mu Zicheng naturally understood Ling Dongwu's temperament, and knew that after a long journey, she could skip eating or sleeping, but she couldn't skip bathing. Someone was sent to prepare a large bucket of bath water in her room early, so that Ling Dong could take a beautiful bath.

Ling Dongwu was almost asleep in the comfortable bucket, when a maid knocked on her door, and then said, "General Ling, the banquet in front is about to begin, Master Mu asked me to greet you." ”

"Got it, I'm coming!" As soon as he heard that Mu Zicheng greeted him, Ling Dongwu immediately came to his senses, came out of the bucket, dressed neatly and came to the front hall.

When Ling Dongwu came to the front hall, almost all of them were here. But she found in a blink of an eye that she shouldn't have come too, she saw the beautiful and reserved Princess Xia Mingde in a table of female guests inside, Xia Mingde saw Ling Dongwu looking at her, and nodded at Ling Dongwu with a smile.

Why is she here, how long has she been here, and she won't stay in Huaiyang City for more than ten months in her absence, and be with Mu Zicheng! As soon as she saw Xia Mingde, Ling Dongwu beat a drum in her heart, and her eyes subconsciously glanced at Mu Zicheng, Mu Zicheng, as today's host, was politely and courteously showing around.

In fact, now in the Nanzhao and Northern Desert Army, most people know that Ling Dongwu is a daughter, but she has always been wearing men's clothes, so no one deliberately pushed her into the women's pile, she still sits next to Xia Wenxuan.

After eating a meal, Ling Dongwu felt that he didn't know how to eat, because although Mu Zicheng was also sitting at this table, he rarely looked at him. The two of them were separated by a round table, separated by a laughing crowd, as if separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.

After eating, everyone left the table one after another, and Mu Zicheng was the last to leave because he was the host.

Ling Dongwu walked slowly and leisurely in front, and seeing that Mu Zicheng had not followed, he was waiting for him on the way back to his room. After a quarter of an hour, she saw Mu Zicheng coming from a distance, hiding her body in the shadow of the arch, seeing Mu Zicheng take a step over, suddenly jumped out, jumped onto Mu Zicheng's back, blindfolded Mu Zicheng with two hands, and said in a low voice: "Guess who I am!" ”

Mu Zicheng is a military general, he had already heard the voice behind him, and from the faint fragrance in the air, he knew that Ling Dongwu was hiding there, so he didn't expose her and played with her. Seeing her ask herself, she pretended to be contemplative: "Ah, you must be a puppy!" Ling Dongwu grinned unrelentingly and grabbed his ears.

"Ah, yes, you're, you're a pig!" Ling Dongwu opened his mouth this time and bit his neck.
