Chapter 372: Searching for People

"We'll talk about that later." Wei Shi glanced at Mu Yunge, squeezed the old man's hand, and gestured to him with his eyes.

Pei Yongtu immediately understood, bowed down, and did not mention this matter again.

Standing with Pei Yongtu is naturally the call of the prince of Pingguo. This is the only uncle of the dynasty in the country, his status and identity are extraordinary, and he is so valued by the emperor and His Majesty, counting the entire court, no one can compete with today's Mu Zhizhao. Seeing that he is now wearing a first-class court dress, everyone thinks of the scene when he first entered Kyoto to run for the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, and they can't help but sigh that creation makes people, who would have thought that a lowest-rate merchant would become a hot and sluggling sweet?

There are also courtiers who can't help but secretly worry, for fear that the Mu family will become the second Zhao family, but these days, the Mu family has been rewarded except for Wei Shi's accession to the throne, and there has been no movement since then; Above the court, Mu Zhizhao was cautious in his words and deeds, and he was even more low-key, so that people could not find any mistakes, and gradually calmed the hearts of the courtiers. Even his wife, Xiao Shi, no longer moved around, and most of the time stayed at home, reducing her association with the powerful; Mu Jinran is also a master of Taoguang in the army, and as soon as the war in the northwest broke out, he invited himself to follow Nangong Jin to the northwest, leaving no chance for others to flatter.

Wei Shi and Mu Zhizhao walked side by side, asking about many trivial matters such as harvests and military rations in various places this year, and Mu Zhizhao answered them fluently, which made Wei Shi very satisfied.

Speaking of the northwest military quarters, Mu Zhizhao said: "The minister was ordered to supervise the handling, and all the things have been completed, and in September, the northwest military supplies have been delivered to the northwest and handed over to the county lord." ”

Wei Shi nodded, Murong Kai of Northern Yan was taking advantage of the war between Southern Chu and Eastern Wei, wanting to fish in troubled waters, using very few troops on the northwest front, and came to a few hard encounters, but they were blocked back by Nangong Jin, and suffered heavy losses, Murong Kai's leading general Tuoba Yi did not dare to venture forward, and now the troops are on the northwest line, and the food of hundreds of thousands of troops is a huge expense, and after a long time, Tuoba Yi has the intention of retreating, and has repeatedly written to Murong Kai, asking to return to the dynasty.

It's just that Murong Kai is an ambitious monarch, how can he give up such a God-given opportunity?

On the one hand, he contacted Xizhao and asked for the princess of Xizhao to marry on behalf of his prince, in a vain attempt to draw this country, which had always been allied with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, into his camp, and at the same time implemented military politics in the country, desperately squeezing military funds from the people and expanding military supplies.

By October, Murong Kai had gathered enough grain and grass for a large army to eat and drink for a year, and ordered Tuoba Yi to end the confrontation and launch an attack on Eastern Wei.

Tuoba Yi got Murong Kai's holy decree and didn't dare to slack off, but Nangong Jin was like a dragon in the northwest and was unstoppable, Tuoba Yi had no choice, so he simply went around the northwest and attacked Liaozhou from the northern border.

Nangong Jin immediately reorganized an army of 50,000 and ordered Liu Yuan to go north to fight against foreign humiliation. Liu Yuan went north, surrounded by mostly new ministers, Nangong Jin was not at ease, and allocated his military advisor Jiang Yihua to Liu Yuan to prevent Liu Yuan from adventurous. Liu Yuan was leading the juvenile battalion, and he wanted to go north, so the young sergeants asked for orders and went north with him. Nangong Jin thought about it, and only ordered Chen Shuwen and Lin Mingtong to let Liu Yuan take them, but Mu Jinran, who was the most optimistic, was stayed.

Mu Jinran was naturally unconvinced, but he was no longer the hairy child he was at the beginning, at the age of eleven, he had been studying under Tang Linyi, the first master, for more than two years, and had been honed in the army for nearly two years.

He knew that his current status was special, and he couldn't be easily damaged, otherwise he would bring trouble to Mu Yunge, although he was not convinced, he did not object.

It's just that when I said goodbye to my two friends Chen Shuwen and Lin Mingtong in front of the camp, I thought that my good friends had gone to the battlefield, and he was alone in this barracks, and he had to be protected, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

Chen Shuwen is a few years older than him, he is fourteen years old this year, and he is strong and strong, unlike ordinary fourteen-year-old children; Lin Mingtong is thirteen years old this year, and he is weaker than both of them, and he looks younger than Mu Jinran. His martial arts are not very good, but he studied under Jiang Yihua, and his master knew that this little guy had his own hills and valleys in his chest, and although he was said to be experienced, it was actually a matter of discussion.

Lin Mingtong knew Mu Jinran's sorrow, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "You don't have to be frustrated, although the county lord has no battle to fight at present, it may not always be peaceful." ”

He is full of poetry and books, his master Jiang Yihua has been in the army for many years, and he knows the entire military politics very well, Lin Mingtong is familiar with it, and he also understands a lot of twists and turns, approached Mu Jinran, and whispered: "In my opinion, the situation on the county lord's side may not be much more stable." Murong Kai is now in a relationship with Xi Zhao, Queen Qi of Xi Zhao is Murong Kai's cousin, and Murong Kai promises heavy profits. Look at it, Xi Zhao An can't be divided into a few days, once Mu Ruyan takes over the government of Xi Zhao, the first thing she wants to move is the county lord. ”

Mu Jinran thought so, he remembered that the hatred between Mu Ruyan and Nangong Jin could not be dissolved overnight, plus Mu Ruyan hated Mu Yunge, if that vicious woman was in power, she would naturally choose to ally with her sister's enemies.

Chen Shuwen's mind was simpler than the two, and he felt very strange: "Just for a man, do women even care about the country?" I don't think it's possible. ”

"There are no wonders in the world," Mu Jinran shook his head: "What you said is not right, you see my sister, the county lord, and the princess of Huainan...... Which of them is a person who disregards the country? In the final analysis, it is still Mu Ruyan's own character problem. ”

Lin Mingtong smiled and said: "So, if you understand Mu Ruyan's ambition, you should know that you stay in the northwest, which is actually very useful." Jinran, the next time I see you in Kyoto, I'm afraid you are already a young general with a lot of military achievements! ”

"The future is uncertain, so don't mention it. You go out with the army, you must protect yourself, I hope that when we reunite in Beijing, you will not lack arms or legs, and everyone in the world will already know your prestige! Mu Jinran laughed, hugged the shoulders of the two friends, and the three of them clenched their fists and agreed: "Glory to the ancestors, work together!" Break the enemy to protect the family and raise the prestige of our country! ”

The three of them didn't know about their bold words, but Nangong Jin knew, she mentioned it slightly in her letter to Mu Yunge, and Mu Yunge told Mu Zhizhao.

These words made Mu Zhizhao feel very proud, his son did not rely on his radiant father and noble sister, determined to play a piece of the world, he naturally agreed, when urging the northwest military supplies, thinking of his son's safety and ambitions, naturally much more concerned.

When Wei Shi asked at this time, he thought of Mu Jinran, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This change in expression all fell in Wei Shi's eyes, and he knew with his toes that Mu Zhizhao cared about Mu Jinran, and couldn't help but smile: "Jinran has been training in the army for some days, and Nangong always praises him in his recitals, don't worry." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern!" Mu Zhizhao was full of joy, and looked at Mu Yunge who was following Wei Shi, and the enthusiasm that had just risen dropped a little.

He approached Wei Shi a little and asked him in a low voice: "Your Majesty has returned to Kyoto for the first time, please take care of Niangniang, she has been ...... recently." Not so good. ”

Not so good...... Three understatement words made Wei Shi's heart tremble.

As soon as he got down from Luan, he noticed Mu Yunge's emaciation, and when he saw the fat powder on her face, he guessed that the secret letter sent from Kyoto a few days ago was not a lie. It's just that Yun Ge didn't mention it, obviously to make him feel relieved, and he could only pretend not to know, but he tried his best behind his back.

He squeezed Mu Zhizhao's hand and bowed slightly: "I know." You can rest assured. ”

Mu Yunge lowered his eyebrows, a little distracted, the conversation between the two was not very real, and he only thought that they were talking about military affairs, so as not to be too tired for Wei Shi to see.

Back in the palace, Wei Shi saw that she was too tired to open her eyes, so he dismissed the civil and military officials, changed the celebration banquet of the class teacher's return to the dynasty to the next night, and took Mu Yunge to the middle palace to rest.

Mu Yunge felt unprecedented stability in his arms, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while. Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the laughter that had been piled up completely collapsed, and ordered Pei Ying to leave Pei Yongtu behind, and set up Mu Yunge by himself, so he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and immediately rushed to the Yingyi Palace to meet Pei Yongtu.

As soon as they met, Wei Shi went straight to the point: "People have found it?" Where is it? ”

"A few days ago, the spies learned that he appeared in Nanchu, and it seemed that he had gone to the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, and he didn't know what he was going to do. It took more than half a month for him to reappear in Nanchu Lulu County. However, as soon as he arrived in Lu Jun, he was stopped. The person who kidnapped him is even more powerful than our people, and the minister is incompetent, so he lost his ......" Pei Yongtu said and wiped his sweat, feeling extremely sorry for his nephew.

Wei Shi's face was full of loss, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, and repeated in a low voice: "I lost it...... What kind of person is there such a means in Nanchu? ”

"The minister has verified that it is not the hands and feet of the Southern Chu royal family, nor is it any of the Jianghu sects in Southern Chu." Pei Yongtu bowed back and glanced at Wei Shi cautiously before saying, "The spy said that those people may be from our Eastern Wei Dynasty." ”

Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and a glimmer of light flashed.

In the past of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the power was huge and unfathomable, and he was able to avoid Pei Yongtu's spies, and he also had the ability to disappear into the realm of Southern Chu without knowing it......

Momen!

Wei Shi only thought of this one word in his mind, and immediately stood up. He grabbed Pei Yongtu a little excitedly and nervously, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Rong, who has been living in Mufu, has any unusual behavior recently?" ”

"Mrs. Rong went to Chengbao Temple in the winter moon, saying that she was praying for His Majesty and the queen's mother, and she is still in Chengbao Temple." Pei Yongtu thought for a while before asking, "Could it be Mrs. Rong?" ”

Wei Shi laughed instantly.

He is not the only person who cares about Mu Yunge's life and death, and Yun Rao's current mood is mostly extremely anxious. With her style of acting, most of the time she can't wait for other people's news, and only when she goes out by herself can she really trust it. It seems that Mr. Daozhen has probably arrived in the capital at this time!

Remarks: Seventeen will leave for Harbin tomorrow, the sisters in the Northeast, maybe you will meet you~~~
