278. Concealment
She looked up slightly, and asked in a daze, "Should I call you big brother?" Mu Ze? Still is...... Jun Muze? "Or, the King of Beiding? I can't think that a relative who gets along with him day and night has become a stranger all of a sudden.
The man in white was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Ran, I still like you to call me eldest brother." "The same gentle and elegant, the same tone, eyebrows and eyes are all the same person.
However, the eldest brother she called was called Mu Ze, a man who was so kind and gentle that he couldn't describe it, and he was a person she had a sense of shame in. How could it be him? In front of his name, there is an extra word Jun, the Jun family, the royal family, the king of Beiding, so many identities cover him, where will he still be the eldest brother she trusts?
It was already winter, but now I felt even colder, and I shivered all over.
"Brother Ran, don't be surprised, I'm still your eldest brother." Mu Zewan'er, the veins and emotions in his eyes are as gentle as usual, no regalia, no arrogance, only the original tolerance and love.
But Ran Qing's heart sank, and after the shock, his mind was worried, and he only had to think deeply to understand the whole reason of the matter. At this point, Mu Ze is no longer the eldest brother she relies on and has a sense of security, he is the king of Beiding! Since when did he even count her? Is it to let them move to Anyang, the capital of Beiding Kingdom? Or is it earlier?
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the more she thought about it, the more chilled she felt.
Mu Ze's gaze never left her face, and when he saw her staring at herself without saying a word, he understood what she was thinking. Sighing, he took her cold little hand and led her to the table and sat down. The tea has already been brewed, and it is wrapped with a plush enclosure of **, so that the tea will not cool down too quickly, this method is still what Brother Ran thought of.
poured two cups of tea, pushed one to her, held one in his hand, took a sip before saying: "You taste, this is a unique winter tea in Beiding, which is different from other teas, it is very fragrant." ”
Dye Qing mechanically picked up the teacup, smelled it first, and then tasted it, and it was indeed sweet in the mouth. It won't be as hot as it just came out, and it tastes just right at this temperature. After drinking a glass, she held the cup in her hand, her fingers unconsciously grinding the rim of the cup, her eyes fixed on the table, not knowing what to say.
Mu Ze was not annoyed when he saw this, but only said eloquently: "Brother Ran, the eldest brother has no intention of hiding it from you, in fact, I only learned the identity of Prince Beiding from my mother in recent years, and my mother strictly ordered me not to spread the word, so I have been forbearing." If it weren't for the war, I'm afraid I would always be Mu Ze, not the current King of Beiding. After I sent you to Youzhou City, I received a letter from my father before I returned to Anyang, and when we arrived at the palace, my father was critically ill, and finally saw him for the last time.
When I was still in infancy, my mother angrily took me out of the palace because of injustices in the palace, but I was later found by my father, but he did not force her to return to the palace, so we stayed in Taoyuan Town to live in peace. But now when the time came for my family and country to be in trouble, my father was seriously ill and issued an edict asking me to ascend the throne of God, so I had to accept it. ”
Dye Qing was surprised when she heard this, Mu Ze's tone was calm when she talked about this, and the narration was flat, but even if she sat here and listened, she knew that there must be a lot of potential undercurrents hidden in it. Mrs. Mu encountered great danger in the Beiding Palace before she broke with the first king of Beiding and fled from the palace, and judging from the fact that the first king of Beiding did not want to force each other after finding their mother and son, it was obvious that there was love in her heart. They lived in seclusion in Taoyuan Town, originally quiet and pleasant, but this premise was based on the peace of the world.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "When did you know who you were?" ”
Mu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Brother Ran, do you think I had his heart in mind when I first met you?" To tell you the truth, my mother told me about my identity when she saw me seriously injured. When he first met her, he even had the idea of entering the Dongyun court, at that time he only thought that he was a famous general, because his mother once told him that his father sacrificed his life for the country, and because of this, his mother wanted him to never enter the official career.
Shibo, who went to visit Dongyun, said that his mother was a friend of his father before his death. With these connections, as well as his identity as a descendant of a famous general, plus his martial arts, if he really wants to fight, it should be no problem to win a martial champion. At that time, the idea was very simple, and when she realized that her heart was left on her, she wanted to have an identity worthy of her. But I didn't know that she had a husband for a long time.
The injury was very serious, coupled with heart disease, when he was taken back to Taoyuan Town by Qingge, he was groggy all the time, and he didn't have much time to wake up. How do you know that the king of Beiding ignored the government and rushed over in person, although he hid his identity, he brought Jin Dan to treat his injuries. That was the first time he saw his father, and he finally knew that his identity was the prince of Beiding. This is where all the turning points begin, and then I think that everything has a cause and effect.
He is indifferent to fame and fortune, even if he knows his identity, he doesn't want to follow his father into the palace, he doesn't like those conspiracies and calculations. only promised to keep in touch with his father, and still stayed in Taoyuan Town with his mother to live a peaceful life. From then on, his father would often fly pigeons to pass on books and ask him about state strategy. As a result, we learned that although they had no ambition to conquer the Quartet and were in an extremely cold place, the constraints of the living environment, the weather became colder and colder, and many places could not be cultivated, resulting in the inability of the people to survive, and the situation had reached a grim level. In the long run, if Beiding does not need to be invaded by other countries, it may be destroyed due to the geographical environment.
His father was very worried about this matter, and he was even more worried about the strength of the two countries in Dongyunnan and Shao, the so-called trend of the world, and he was afraid that the north would not go to the prisoners, but there was a strong country attacking, so he gave soldiers as early as possible, and secretly cultivated the army of the descendants, in case a war broke out one day, which was the first worry.
Because of his father's connections, he was able to grasp the opportunity to rescue his younger brother back then, otherwise how could he appear on the north mountain in time with his own strength. It was only later, when everything was out of his control, and he had to be taken the path of the king of God, who knew the pain in his heart? There are too many unspeakable things in the bottom of my heart, and all I can say is hope that she can forgive him.
Ran Qing didn't doubt what Mu Ze said, she thought that since Mu Ze was already the identity of the prince of Beiding at that time, and the current Northern Army was so powerful, it was by no means possible overnight, then the Beiding conscription at that time should be an illusion, pretending to be afraid of the war and paralyzing Nanshao's vigilance. This should also be Mu Ze's strategy.
In the two years that they lived together, they knew that Mu Ze himself was brilliant and calm, but he always thought that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and was content with mediocrity. Now it seems that the talents of the world can't hide the light after all, think about it, how can he be an ordinary person like this? She thought that maybe when Mu Ze proposed to go to Anyang, watching Ling Mo go away, they were worried, he might want to come out for the war.
Because the strategy can be calculated, but the people's hearts are difficult to calculate, the outbreak of the war made the people of Beiding panic, these are not able to be disguised, and the king of Beiding died of serious illness at this time, if the news is released and no one presides over the overall situation, I am afraid that Nanyuechen will definitely turn the gun to attack Beiding, and even if there are strong soldiers and no country lord at that time, it will be in vain.
Forced by various circumstances, Mu Ze became the current king of Beiding, is this so?
Psychologically speaking, she didn't want to doubt Mu Ze's humanity, an eldest brother who had been defined by her as a family, and she preferred to believe that the analysis just now was the truth. But there is one more thing she has to ask: "What are you coming to Youzhou for?" ”
Mu Ze smiled leisurely: "I knew you would ask this question, Brother Ran, since I sent you into Youzhou, I have been in a panic all day long, and I have constantly sent spies to find out the information about you, and all I got is the news that you are in danger, and I know that Nan Yuechen is surrounded by troops outside the city, do you think I can still sit in peace?" Can I not come to your rescue? ”
Dye Qing choked, Mu Ze poured out more than 100,000 troops from Beiding, just to save her? Indeed, the northern army was divided into two batches, one group of troops pressed to Youzhou, and one group pressed into Huai'an, the capital of Southern Shaoguo, forcing South Yuechen to retreat, and suddenly broke the deadlock in Youzhou.
"What about Mother and Chang'an?" I asked the question that I was most concerned about.
Mu Ze laughed when he heard this, and his expression became more gentle: "I know that you must miss them, and they have been thinking about you, especially Chang'an, who will cry for a long time when I can't see you." That's why I took them to the army, in the same tent you broke into before, Brother Ran, your judgment is indeed very accurate. I had no intention of hiding it from her, and after letting An He hint during the day, he deliberately found out where the tent was at night, and planted the flag with the word "Jun" more.
Ran Qing sighed in her heart, it turned out that just now she was only one tent away from Chang'an and Lizhu Niang, and they were really here.
"It's late at night, and I'm afraid they're all asleep, and it's not too late to wake them up after dawn."
It is true that the sky outside is already a little bright, I didn't expect to sit down with him for more than an hour, and I can't help but be excited when I think of seeing Lizhu Niang and Chang'an who have not been seen for a long time. Regardless of whether what Mu Ze said was true or not, with her understanding of him, he would definitely not take any extraordinary measures against them, so he was also relieved.
During the day, what she was most afraid of was that they would be captured by the North King and suffer, so it seemed that the North King was Mu Ze, but the matter should be preferred, at least there was room for negotiation.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent, and even the sound of weapons, Mu Ze frowned and called someone to come in and ask.
It was still Na Anhe who walked inside, reporting that an Assassin had infiltrated and was fighting with the soldiers. Assassin? Dye Qing was shocked, it wouldn't be Ling Mo, if he arrived late and saw that she and Xiao Nai were gone, he would definitely find this barracks immediately. couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Mu Ze's sleeve from behind and said, "Big brother, it may be Ling Mo." ”
Mu Ze looked back at her with an anxious face, and even the hand that grabbed his sleeve was clenched very tightly, but the call of "big brother" warmed his heart, and from the moment she saw her at the door, she had a cold face from beginning to end, and she never called him. It turned out that he missed the call so much, so much missed her.
To him, Ling Mo is a friend and a relative, so naturally he will not hurt him. "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
However, after walking out of the imperial tent, he found that the noise he heard inside was not the case outside, and there was not only one person on that side, but many people. When Xiao Nai saw the two of them come out at the same time, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to act according to the previous plan and take down the North King as a threat, but was stopped by his blue eyes. At this time and that time, Xiao Nai is not Mu Ze's opponent, and it is not yet time to use this trick again.
