Mu Zhanyue looked at him for a moment and replied, "Yes, but she doesn't know about it." β
It was so easy to get his affirmative answer, Lu Xiao was a little stunned, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy in his heart for a while. They had finally found the blood of the princess of Yashan, and as long as he married her, no one would be able to trouble him by blood, but for some reason, his heart was not full of joy. Lu Xiao was silent for a while, and then asked Mu Zhanyue again: "What about the spirit bones?" β
There are two spirit bones in total, which are the two upper teeth left by the Mobei Wolf God, and they have always been the sacred relics of the Tuoba clan of the Xian royal family.
Decades ago, the Xian clan produced a wise and martial Shan Yu - Tuoba Xi, who led the people to move out of the depths of the desert and continue to move south to the north of Xuanzhou and Yongzhou, occupying the homeland of the northern desert. Tuoba Xi is considered a holy lord of the Xian clan, but his heirs are very thin, and he and his wife Su Gu only have a son and a daughter. Tuoba Xi loved these children like treasures, and gave them these two spirit bones respectively.
Later, Tuoba Xi died, and his son Tuoba Jun ascended the throne, but his daughter Yashan Wangnu suddenly disappeared from the royal court, and her spirit bone disappeared with it.
Tuoba Jun did not live long, only lived for less than two years before dying early, and Shan Yu's position was obtained by Tuoba Jun's cousin, that is, the current Shan Yu Tuoba Yao's father Tuoba Tuiling. Tuoba Tuiling reigned for fifteen years, and after his death, the position passed to his eldest son, Tuoba Yao.
Tuoba Yao is brave and resolute, and has always been strategic, but because his mother was from a humble background and impure blood, he was repeatedly criticized by the Xian nobles. For this reason, he painstakingly searched for the whereabouts of the Yashan princess, firstly to find another spirit bone, and secondly, to find a trace of the bloodline of the Holy Lord Tuoba Xi.
Therefore, Lu Xiao was ordered to go south.
Since Xie Chennian is the orphan of the daughter of the Yashan prince, the spirit bone should be on her, but she said that she has never seen any spirit bones. Lu Xiao frowned slightly, and asked Mu Zhanyue: "Since Xie Chennian is the orphan of the daughter of the Yashan prince, why is the spirit bone not on her body?" β
Mu Zhanyue replied: "I escaped with Chen Nian back then, and I have been chased and killed, so I had no choice but to replace Chen Nian with another baby, and in order to make the other party believe that the child is Chen Nian, I left the spirit bone on the child's body." β
Lu Xiao frowned and said, "Does the other party know the spirit bones?" β
"I don't know." Mu Zhanyue shook his head, "But it is the personal thing of the princess of Yashan, the other party knows the weight of the thing, and when he sees the thing, he believes that the child is true." β
Lu Xiao thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is that child now?" Are you still alive? β
This time, Mu Zhanyue didn't answer him immediately, looked at him for a moment, but said: "That child is still alive, but as for where it is, I can't tell you." β
Lu Xiao thought about it for a while, and he already understood that this matter must involve the privacy of the princess of Yashan, so Mu Zhanyue refused to say it. Sure enough, I heard Mu Zhanyue say again: "I will take back that spirit bone and send it to the royal court, there are only two spirit bones in the world, whether it is true or not, you will know." β
Lu Xiao heard something else from his words, and couldn't help asking, "You don't take Xie Chennian back to the royal court?" β
Mu Zhanyue said in a deep voice: "The royal court is extremely chaotic now, if you bring Chen Nian back now, you will only be attacked by several other major surnames." It's better to leave her here first, and then bring her back when the situation in the royal court is stable. β
Lu Xiao frowned unconsciously when he heard this, "But now you need to marry the orphans of the princess of Yashan to correct the bloodline, otherwise those old diehards in the royal court will continue to use the bloodline to make trouble." β
Mu Zhanyue thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I will bring another woman back, what I need now is another spirit bone and a woman with the name of the orphan of the daughter of the king of Yashan, as for whether this orphan is real, he will not mind." β
Lu Xiao admitted that what Mu Zhanyue said made sense, but after all, this was a deception of Tuoba Yao. He was silent for a long time and said, "I will report this matter to Shan Yu." β
Mu Zhanyue said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't hide it from him." β
The two finally reached an agreement on the matter, and then changed the subject and talked about something else. Mu Zhanyue asked Lu Xiao: "Why did Chen Nian return to Qingfeng Village?" How did the arm still hurt? β
He had already anticipated the fate of Qingfeng Village when he killed Xue Zhi before, so he took Chen Nian away from Qingfeng Village, but he didn't want Chen Nian to go back there again, and his arm was injured.
Lu Xiao told Mu Zhanyue everything that happened after he came to Chen Nian's side, but somehow, he hid the love-hate entanglement between Chen Nian and Feng Junyang. Mu Zhanyue was not very sensitive to the love between men and women, and when he saw Feng Junyang in Shengdu, he only felt that the person was humble and polite, and he didn't see anything unusual, and now when he heard Lu Xiao talk about these things, he didn't have any doubts at all.
The two stood in the snow and talked for a long time before turning back to the village.
Chen Nian and the others were all in the hall, and the child had been fed the boiled bread batter, so he finally stopped crying and fell asleep next to his brother Yang Yi. Wen Daya breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to think about that Cui Xiaoer now, I am still a half-grown boy, and I can survive with this doll." β
After he finished speaking, he remembered that Cui Xiaoer was not actually called Cui Xiaoer, but should be called Yang Yi. Wen Daya unconsciously glanced at Yang Yi, who was still unconscious, and asked Chen Nian in a low voice, "Miss Xie, is that kid really Yang Cheng's son?" β
"It should be true." Chen Nian nodded, but said softly to Wen Daya: "Master Wen, I think it's better for everyone to forget about this matter." Since he said that his surname is Cui, then his surname is Cui. β
At present, although those officers and soldiers were killed by them, but the two states of Qingdao and Hebei are still in the hands of the Xue brothers, as long as Yang Yi's identity is leaked, sooner or later the officers and soldiers will be attracted to come over to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then it will inevitably kill people again.
Wen Daya couldn't figure out how to understand this, nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and said: "Exactly, exactly, I'll tell them one by one when I go back, don't say who Cui Xiaoer is, even these things that happened last night, everyone must forget about them cleanly!" When everyone slowed down, I took them to bury the bodies of those officers and soldiers far away, so that no one knew that they had come to us. Just ????" He showed embarrassment on his face again, and his eyes looked at the war horses in the courtyard that were already ownerless, "What about these horses?" It would be a shame if it was thrown away in vain. β
Wen Daya hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but ask Chen Nian, "Why don't we keep some for ourselves?" β
Chen Nian shook his head, "No, there are marks on war horses, and they are easy to recognize, leaving endless troubles." β
Wen Daya's face suddenly collapsed, he was used to living a poor life, and he was reluctant to bury these war horses. But if these dozens of horses are all killed and eaten for meat, just a dozen of them, even if they eat every day, they don't know how long they will have to eat!
Chen Nian saw him like this, and felt a little like laughing, so he made an idea with him: "Although you can't keep it for yourself, you can sell it from afar, and then you can use the money to buy other horses." β
Wen Daya was a little puzzled, "Where to sell it?" β
Chen Nian curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "This has to wait for Yang Yi to wake up and ask him, to see if the officers and soldiers who came last night belong to Qingzhou or Jizhou, if it is Qingzhou, you will steal the horse to Jizhou and sell it, if it is Jizhou, then you will sell it to Qingzhou." β
Anyway, the two Xue brothers are also at odds with each other now, so let the two of them be suspicious of each other!
Wen Daya was still puzzled, and was about to ask again, but he saw Mu Zhanyue and Lu Xiao coming in from the outside one after the other, so frightened that he swallowed the words in his mouth suddenly, and hurriedly stood up from Chen Nian's side, and slipped away to other places.
Chen Nian looked up and saw Mu Zhanyue and them coming back, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, and he stood up and said, "Father-in-law, there are injured people in the house, if you have anything, let's go to the courtyard and talk about it." β
Mu Zhanyue couldn't let these people hear Chen Nian's words when he wanted to explain them, so he took Chen Nian to the courtyard and said to her: "Chen Nian, I still have important things to do, so I have to leave immediately." β
Chen Nian had already expected that Mu Zhanyue would leave, so he only nodded lightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "I know." She wanted to ask her father-in-law if he wanted to take her with her, but the words came to her lips but did not come out, only turned into a light smile, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will take care of myself." β
When Mu Zhanyue left last time, she was still a lively and childish little girl, but in less than a year, she seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly. But Mu Zhanyue didn't seem to be happy, he unconsciously raised his sword eyebrows, glanced at Chen Nian twice, and said: "In two years, Jiangbei may be in chaos, Chen Nian, you either stay in this Taihang Mountain, or go to Jiangnan, avoid it for a few years, and I will come back to look for you when I finish my work." β
Chen Nian lowered his head slightly and responded, "Okay." β
Mu Zhanyue glanced up at Lu Xiao, who was standing not far away, and said to Chen Nian in a low voice: "I have asked Lu Xiao to swear to serve you as the Lord." β
Chen Nian looked at Mu Zhanyue in astonishment when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, there really doesn't have to be this!" β
Mu Zhanyue lowered his voice and said, "He has already sworn that you don't have to say more." The Xian people swear the heaviest oath, you can use him with confidence, but if he says to take you to the Mobei Royal Court, you can't listen to him. The royal court is in great chaos now, and you are not allowed to go to anyone who asks you to go except me. β
Chen Nian couldn't help but ask, "Will they use me to blackmail you?" β
Mu Zhanyue looked at her and replied, "Yes, if you go to the royal court, once they know about your storage, they will use you to blackmail me and tie my hands and feet." β
Chen Nian bit his lip and said, "Father-in-law, I won't go to the Mobei Royal Court. β
Mu Zhanyue nodded, stood there and looked at Chen Nian for a moment, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chen Nian hard, and said thoughtlessly: "Don't worry, I will take back everything that originally belonged to you!" After saying that, he let go of Chen Nian, didn't even look at her again, turned around and strode towards the Xian warriors, turned over his horse, and galloped out of the village with them.
Chen Nian was a little stunned, and only when the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, did he slowly turn around and look at Lu Xiao behind him in a daze.
Lu Xiao looked at her with a smile while holding the scimitar, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I think it may not be you who he wants to hug." β
