Zhou Cheng hurriedly walked in from outside, stood at the door and did not take a step closer inside, lowered his head, and his gaze extended to the ground under the heavy curtain, "Lord Wang, the prince of Xiao Hou is visiting." ”

Xiao Li? Mu Xuefu's brows moved slightly, this Xiao Hou Shizi seems to have been passing over a lot recently. She let go of her hand and pushed Jing Rong, "Xiao Shizi must have something important to talk about when he looks for the prince, so I won't delay you here." ”

Saying that, Mu Xuefu was about to get up, but she was pulled by Jing Rong, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, you are painting next to you, and you can't interfere with us." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Mu Xuefu's eyes, and she wondered if Jing Rong had trusted herself to such an extent now? He doesn't even shy away from talking about things. She nodded obediently, then got up from Jing Rong's arms and walked to the table next to her to rewrite the pen drawing.

When Xiao Li walked in, he saw that Mu Xuefu was also in the study, and he was stunned for a moment. He often came to King Chen's Mansion to talk to Ah Rong, and this was the first time he had seen Mu Xuefu here. didn't even shy away from talking, obviously this Mu Xuefu was getting more and more favored by Ah Rong.

He bowed his hand to Mu Xuefu according to the courtesy, "My cousin-in-law is fine." ”

Mu Xuefu stood up and returned the salute with a smile, "Prince Xiao is fine." ”

Jing Rong hooked the corners of his mouth, raised a faint smile, waved his hand to signal Mu Xuefu to sit down, and then asked Xiao Li to sit down, "What is the matter with today?" ”

Xiao Li quickly glanced at Mu Xuefu and saw that she was concentrating on painting, so he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Jing Rong, "You asked me to carefully investigate the officials who were killed some time ago that day, and after many investigations over the past few days, there is indeed a commonality between them." ”

The pen and ink in Mu Xuefu's hand suddenly stopped, her fingers trembled slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, like waves rippling on the water, smudged layer by layer. She raised her eyelids without moving, and carefully observed the changes in Jingrong's expression as if she was careless.

Jing Rong's eyes quickly swept over the paperwork, frowned, and pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Is it the Zhenguo General's Mansion that was raided and exterminated more than ten years ago?" ”

"Yes."

Raid the family and exterminate the family! These words came out of Jing Rong's mouth, as if they were punching Mu Xuefu's heart hard, hitting her all weak, as if the strength of her whole body had been drained a little bit, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Jing Rong didn't notice the changes in Mu Xuefu, rubbed his fingers against a corner of the table, and said with emotion: "Mu Qiying is brave and good at fighting, invincible in all attacks, and is regarded as the first god of war in Great Qin. Although the king was not very old at that time, he had heard a little about his deeds, but he really did not expect that he would do treason with the enemy. But what the king didn't expect was that the emperor directly ordered the slaughter of the general's mansion without going through the trial of the three divisions. It is really embarrassing that a generation of heroes has fallen. ”

He sighed and looked up at Xiao Li, "According to your investigation, it was the Pingjun King who led the Praetorian Guards to kill the entire family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and then checked the resumes of these people in Tianlu Pavilion, and the officials who were recently killed were all the people who participated in the massacre of the General's Mansion back then. King Pingjun was killed last year, and now, these people have also lost their lives for 6 consecutive years. After a pause, Jing Rong squinted his eyes, and there was a bright brilliance flashing in his eyes, "Could it be that someone is avenging the tragedy of the year?" Or is it that someone who escaped that killing back then is now coming back for revenge? ”

Tianlu Pavilion contains the archives of all the officials of the court and the records of the big and small things in the court, when Emperor Xuanwu ordered the killing of the Zhenguo General's Mansion as a shocking thing, naturally there are historians to record it in detail. After more than ten years, although there are records, it took a lot of effort for Xiao Li to find out all the relevant characters and events.

Mu Xuefu held the pen tightly, almost crushing it, cold teeth between her teeth, her heart was like being covered by thousands of years of ice and snow, layer by layer into the texture, like sharp ice blades cutting her body one by one.

The Zhenguo General's Mansion is a loyal martyr, who has served Daqin for generations, and it can be said that he bowed and tried his best, and then died. The generations have changed, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion does not know how many men have shed blood for Daqin's skulls and shrouded in horse leather, but even so, every time they fight, the Zhenguo General's Mansion has never retreated, and it is still a golden iron horse, and it is like home. The Zhenguo General's Mansion is like a support that Daqin will never bow down, and even the three-year-old children on the street know that as long as the Zhenguo General's Mansion is there, there will be no war that can disturb their stability. But who would have thought that one day the gate of the tiger general would be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the loyal and patriotic home would become a fretty that everyone spurned.

Treason! Treason! In the past ten years, as long as the Zhenguo General's Mansion is mentioned, everyone will associate the four words of collaboration with the enemy and treason. Her father had never done such a thing, and none of the generals in the Zhenguo Mansion would do such a thing.

Xiao Li was shocked by Jingrong's speculation, and his expression changed instantly, as if in an instant, the spring, summer, autumn and winter would be over. He looked at Jing Rong in a daze, opened his mouth, and moved a few times, but he remained silent. After a while, he said: "Impossible, even if you are not killed by the sword light and sword shadow, it is impossible for anyone to escape from the fire after that." He shook his head and sighed, "My father said that the fire burned for three days and three nights, and even the corpses turned to ashes. ”

"I heard that my uncle and General Mu are good friends?"

"Yes, my father said that the Zhenguo General's Mansion is a loyal martyr, and the Zhenguo General is loyal and patriotic, and will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

Hearing this, Mu Xuefu's fingers slowly loosened, and the ice frozen on the atrium melted slightly, it turned out that in this world, there are still people who can trust their father.

Jing Rong supported his chin with his hand, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he spoke: "Whether it is the King of Pingjun or this group of officials, it must be related to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. The people who participated in the extermination are still alive, and if I guess correctly, the murderer will act next. Find someone to keep an eye on the rest of the people, follow them, and you will definitely find the real culprit. ”

Xiao Li thought for a moment, frowned, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "When you said that someone was constantly guiding you in the affairs of the king of Pingjun, I was still skeptical. Now it seems that there is indeed a mastermind behind these things. It's just that we are in the light, and the murderer is in the dark, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. ”

Mu Xuefu was awe-inspiring in her heart, Jing Rong was able to think of the matter of King Pingjun through this matter, and let Xiao Li secretly investigate and confirm the connection between the two, which was really smart. She was really lucky today, otherwise if Qing Zhuo and the others continued to carry out her killing order, they would probably be caught. Slowly, she calmed her mind, gently hooked the lotus petals with a pale pink ink pen, and the leaves and flowers were double-hooked to calm the color, and then concocted a few colors of green vegetables to color the beautiful shadow, and with a few brushstrokes, the ink slowly seeped away.

"Don't worry, if it is really to avenge the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the murderer will act again, let's just wait for the rabbit and wait for them to enter the urn." Jing Rong's eyes turned a little cold and sharp, a few smiles flashed on his face, and there was an unpredictable meaning in his voice, "This king is really curious, who is so powerful, even this king is used by him." ”

The corners of Mu Xuefu's mouth were slightly upturned, and a shallow smile appeared on her face, like a hibiscus dissolved in the jade dew, which was charming and natural. Hibiscus weeps, pandan smiles, fragrant, but the spit out Lei Rui has a trace of bitter taste.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally warm and floating, like a sparkling golden light poured on the pool of Taiye, finely fragmented, filling the air, filling everything between heaven and earth. Mu Xuefu sat under the window, and layers of light fell on her body like gold through the hollow fine flower screen. As far as the eye can see, Mu Xuefu in the backlight is like a dewy fragrant flower that blooms in the bright light of the morning sun, delicate and charming, bright and peerless.

During the discussion with Xiao Li, Jing Rong occasionally glanced at it, and when he saw such a style, his heart beat violently a few times. Of course, he knew how beautiful Muscheff was, and even if the two of them faced each other almost every day, he would sometimes be dazzled by her beauty.

But today it was a little different, he was talking about business here, and she was quietly doing her own thing, and he only had to turn his head to see her, and she could see him when she looked up. This is an indescribable feeling, he has never tasted it before, he only feels that this tranquility has always been in his heart, nourishing, soft and warm from head to toe.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Li raised his head, and now looked at Mu Xuefu motionlessly, his eyes overflowing with a thousand tenderness. He walked between the two of them, bowing his head and smiling secretly.

In order to estranged Mu Xuefu, Ah Rong not only spread rumors and slander, but also did not welcome his relatives to the church, but now, in just one year, it has reached the point where it is difficult to give up. knew that today, why did Ah Rong bother in the first place.

Mu Xuefu is indeed beautiful, but it is also a boring thing for a man to guard only one woman. He has been in love for many years, and has read countless women, although he has never met a woman more beautiful than Mu Xuefu, but his confidantes have their own style. Women, one flavor is easily greasy, so you should try different flavors.

However, even if Ah Rong is doting on her now, sooner or later she will get bored. However, this Mu Xuefu is also powerful, Ah Rong didn't touch a woman before, and he thought that he was either sick or had a problem with his orientation.

Jing Rong retracted his gaze, caught a glimpse of Xiao Li's playful smile, frowned, and coughed lightly: "Now the emperor has put this king in charge of the household department, and this matter has nothing to do with this king, but it is just being used by people but I don't know who it is, I am really unwilling." ”

Xiao Li looked at Jing Rong teasingly, until he received his slightly gloomy gaze, and then said with a straight face: "You just have to rest assured, I will investigate this matter to the end, and I will definitely catch the murderer behind the scenes." ”
