Chapter 22 Hearty
Mu Xianxian looked at the assassin and said, "This person hasn't spoken, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will expose my sunset accent with just one mouth." Alas, if you want to say that this Cuban Xiong is really not a thing, not to mention burning and plundering on the border of Tanglin, he was defeated by my Tanglin and even sent someone to assassinate him, how can there be a little bit of the brightness they boast of, it is clearly a shameless villain!"
When the assassin saw that the god in his heart was so blasphemed by Mu Xianxian, blood rushed to his brain for a while, and he blurted out without thinking about it, "You stinky girl, don't talk nonsense! Our king is an eagle on the grassland! He is a warrior chosen by his ancestors! He is not a shameless villain!"
To their Sunset clan, the king is a god of faith, and there is absolutely no room for a trace of slander and insult!
Mu Xianxian just looked at him with a smile, and only after he finished speaking did he say slowly, "Sure enough, it's a sunset accent." ”
The Sunset Clan is simple-minded and irritable, she just deliberately provoked him, and the Sunset Clan can't see others say that their king is not good at all, and this person is really fooled.
"You!" the assassin reacted, the woman had deliberately provoked him!
If it was just a suspicion, now it's a confirmation of his identity!
Mu Xianxian interrogated the assassin for only a stick of incense, and even the person behind it was found out, which made Tanglin Xi very satisfied and praised Mu Xianxian.
Those ministers also chimed in a few words: "Tiger fathers have no dog girls." ”
"Miss Mu is very intelligent and resourceful. ”
The Tanglin Jue didn't want to listen to these words of flattery Mu Xianxian, so he immediately walked out, "Father, this day the Dusk Clan is so deceitful that he dares to send someone to assassinate my Tanglin Zhenguo General, and his behavior is extremely arrogant. According to the ministers, the assassin should have been beheaded and hung at the gate for three days to warn other nations. ”
As soon as the Tanglin Jue's words fell, the old ministers of the prince's faction all echoed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, let those small countries with ill intentions know that my Tanglin is something they can dream of!"
"I want to raise the prestige of my Tanglin country!"
Mu Xianxian was speechless when she heard this, the taste of Tanglin Jue is too heavy, right? Hang your head bloody at the city gate, it is estimated that it will stink after hanging for three days, think about the appearance of being rotten and surrounded by flies, and you are not afraid of scaring and crying children.
Mu Xianxian saw that these ministers all looked like they were agreeing, and the emperor also looked like he was really thinking, and seemed to be about to agree, so he opened his mouth again, "Your Majesty, regarding the disposal of this assassin, the courtiers have a proposal. ”
Tanglin Xi immediately said, "If Xian'er has any proposals, let's hear about it." "This assassin was judged by Mu Xian Xian, and at this time he really had some expectations for this ghostly and clever Mu Xian Xian.
Tanglin Jue looked at Mu Xianxian and frowned. Just now he said that he was going to be tortured, Mu Xianxian jumped out and said that she wanted to be tried, and now he said that he wanted to be beheaded, this Mu Xianxian jumped out again and said that there was a proposal, and this Mu Xianxian really did everything to attract his attention.
However, Tanglin Jue is really self-inflicted, how could Mu Xianxian want to attract his attention, she just wants to use her own cleverness to bring out his stupidity.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers thought that they should not kill this assassin. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a discussion in the court.
Mu Xianxian was not affected, and continued, "Not only can we not kill him, but we also have to send someone to send him back to the Sunset Border. ”
When the ministers heard this, they almost exploded, and everyone was killed in the Tanglin Kingdom, how could there be any reason to send someone to escort them back?!
But a few Wenchen had flexible brains, and after a few turns, they felt that Mu Xianxian's idea was wonderful, it was simply wonderful and destructive.
The Sunset Clan is the best face, although their people are barbaric, but also downright, like this kind of assassination behavior can indeed be called a villain's behavior. If Tanglin really sent this assassin back to Sunset, it would be tantamount to telling the world that Sunset is a sinister nation, and it also slapped the Sunset tribe in the face, especially the leader of Sunset, Cuba Xiong, I am afraid that he will be pulled down from the altar by the clan for a while.
When an Assassin is discovered, he usually commits suicide by poisoning himself in order to avoid torture and thus avoid the consequences of his own country.
However, Tanglin did not kill the assassins or torture them, and even sent the assassins back, which further demonstrated the demeanor of Tanglin as a great power, which contrasted with the narrow-mindedness of the Sunset people. Again, it is equivalent to telling other countries that they are not afraid of such despicable methods, and they can catch no matter how powerful the assassin is, and they do not take Cuba Xiong in the slightest. And if Cuba Xiong saw that the person he sent out to assassinate was caught and sent back untouched, he would be so despised, he would probably be angry.
Tanglin Xi listened to Mu Xianxian's idea and felt that it was really wonderful, and was very satisfied, so he immediately ordered someone to escort the assassin down, and specially instructed Dao Haosheng to take care of it and not let people seek death, and decided to send an envoy to send the assassin to the border between Tanglin and Sunset in a few days.
After the assassin's matter was resolved, it was a routine reward, first Mu Zuocang and others, the generals of the Mu family were rewarded to varying degrees, and Mu Xianxian saved his father meritoriously, and then tried the assassin and put forward a clever plan, and Tanglin Xi was also rewarded.
Tanglin Xi asked Mu Xianxian what he wanted, Mu Xianxian also opened his mouth unceremoniously and asked for 10,000 taels of silver, Donglin Xi smiled and was not polite, and he waved his big hand and rewarded 10,000 taels of gold!
After the reward, he retired from the court, and the Tanglin Jue, as a cousin, naturally escorted the Mu family out of the palace. Along the way, he had nothing to say, asked questions, and the meaning of flattery was very obvious.
Mu Zuocang's face was indifferent, as if he didn't pay much attention to him, and only occasionally when Tanglin Jue was really embarrassed, he responded twice.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the Tanglin Jue had to let them leave before saying, "Jue'er will be sent here, and my uncle and cousin will walk slowly." By the way, the queen mother has been thinking about her uncle a few days ago, and when the uncle is free, he still hopes to enter the palace to see the queen mother. ”
Mu Zuocang didn't reply with a calm face, Rao is a fool can also see Mu Zuocang's displeasure and don't want to deal with him, how could Tanglin Jue not see it?
"Let's talk about it later!" After a while, Mu Wencheng replied, and his words were also polite, with a faint expression.
Tanglin Jue smiled a little embarrassedly, and the hand in his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.
His attitude has been so low today, this Mu family is still so complex, he is angry in his heart, but he can't show it on his face.
Seeing that the attitudes of Mu Zuocang and Mu Wencheng had not softened, he turned his head to look at Mu Xianxian.
"Cousin Xian'er, my cousin was too busy a few days ago, so I'll take you out to play when my cousin is free. Tanglin Juepi said with a smile, thinking that this stupid woman must have been crazy with joy when she heard it.
Mu Xianxian naturally didn't take it seriously, that is, he would say this in front of his father, who knows how he looked down on himself in his heart.
"Or don't bother His Royal Highness the Prince, Xian'er has no talent, no appearance and no virtue on the stage, and playing with His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that I will lose His Royal Highness's face, His Royal Highness the Prince, or find another beautiful woman. My second sister is not bad, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go out with Wan'er. Mu Xianxian dealt perfunctorily, and didn't even give Tanglin Jue a straight eye.
Hearing Mu Xianxian say this, Tanglin Jue only thought that she was jealous and playing petty, although she felt that she was quite self-aware, but she said, "Cousin Xian'er, what are these words, you are my crown princess, how can I dislike you and be ashamed." ”
This is really against his will, if it weren't for the Mu family here, he would never be able to say it.
"Hehe......" Mu Xianxian was speechless and didn't know how to reply, so he laughed dryly. He is the best at pretending.
However, Mu Xianxian's attitude surprised her father and brother for a while. They all know that Mu Qianxian likes Tanglin Jue the most, in the past, Dongling Jue would be happy for a long time whenever she said a word to her, but just now they found that Mu Xianxian has been keeping a distance of two meters from Tanglin Jue, and even Tanglin Jue is ignoring her when she talks to her, and she also refuses Dongling Jue's invitation.
They got out of the palace and got on the horse, and as when they came, Mu Xian shrunk into Mu Zuocang's arms and rode together.
Mu Zuocang's hand wrapped around Mu Xianxian's shoulder, tightened the reins, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and ran leisurely.
"This Tanglin Jue, only in front of me will give you a good face. Mu Zuocang's deep voice thought above Mu Xianxian's head.
Although Mu Zuocang is a military general, he is also very good at looking at people, what is this Donglin Ember Lord thinking in his heart, and when he is pretending, he can still see it.
Who doesn't know that this Tanglin Jue doesn't look down on his general's daughter, and he himself actually doesn't want Mu Xianxian to marry into the palace, and Mu Xianxian's temperament is really not suitable for entering the palace. But Mu Xianxian liked this Tanglin Jue, and the emperor also gave him a marriage, which made him very helpless.
"Today, his words are flattering everywhere, presumably because of Xian'er's accident in the palace. However, his style is even more suspicious. Mu Wencheng, who was riding side by side with Mu Zuocang, said indignantly.
Mu Xianxian had an accident in the palace, so naturally she had eyeliner to report to them, and the attitude of the prince and the queen was so unclear, I thought that it must have nothing to do with the Tanglin Jue.
"Xian'er has been wronged. Mu Zuocang said in a deep voice, his words were full of suppressed anger and a hint of helplessness.
He is away all the year round, and Xian'er doesn't even have a backer in the capital, which will be fortunate that nothing happened to Xian'er, if he really hurts Xian'er, he may not be able to help but carry a big knife to the blood-spattered Jinluan Palace.
Mu Xianxian's heart warmed, and she shook her head with a smile, "I'm not wronged, anyway, they didn't hurt me, but I cleaned them up." ”
Mu Xianxian didn't shy away from it, anyway, they all knew that she was killed in the palace, so they must also know how she cleaned up that person.
Mu Wencheng looked at Mu Xianxian, "Well, you did the right thing, you don't have to show mercy to that kind of shameless person." It's just that you don't have to do these things next time, and if someone provokes you, you will call me, and my brother will clean him up for you, so as not to dirty your hands. ”
When he first learned that Mu Xianxian had cut off other people's roots, he was also shocked, but he felt very relieved, it was indeed his Mu family's style, but he would have a ruthless reputation in the future.
Wei Jiayu heard it clearly behind them, and said lightly, "I'm afraid this Yang Zhen was used as a gun, but he deserves it." Wei Jiayu felt that this stupid young lady probably didn't know that she was killed by someone else.
"He is willing to be used as a gunman, then he should be ready to be cannon fodder. I can't move the person behind him, so I have to move him to show that person, I want him to know that I'm not easy to mess with, lest others think I'm a sick cat!"
Wei Jiayu was a little surprised when he heard this, "Oh, the eldest lady knows, then do you know who the person behind it is?"
Mu Xianxian raised her chin and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "I know that you are a military advisor, naturally smart and wise, but I am not a fool, that villain framed me if he didn't want to marry me, and I won't be obsessed anymore." But if he wants to get rid of me, it can't be me, I can only get rid of him!"
Mu Zuocang laughed out loud as soon as he heard it, "You girl is finally enlightened, this is like my Mu Zuocang's daughter!"
Although he has been angry with this girl a lot over the years, and has been scolded and punished, he still loves this concubine the most in his heart, and it is also the baby daughter born to him and his wife. Now that it's been more than ten years, he finally waited for this girl to open up!
Mu Xian was delicate, and felt that it might be a little strange for her to suddenly change too much, so she thought about it and said, "Maybe this time it's not too bad, after all, this time I have seen many people clearly." If that's the case, I can't tell which people are treating me sincerely and who are taking advantage of me, then I'm afraid I've lived all these years in vain. ”
Listening to Mu Xianxian's words, Mu Zuocang felt slightly distressed in his heart.
How did a person use such despicable means to harm a woman, and how much hurt Mu Xianxian had to be before he became a direct loss of love for Tanglin Jue.
Mu Zuocang took out a hand and touched the top of Mu Xian's hair, his voice was gentle, "Don't be sad, Daddy is here, no one dares to bully you, no matter what his identity is!" He paused, and then said, "And the palace, don't go if you have nothing to do, your aunt has also changed, so you usually don't go." ”
The queen is his own sister, but in this incident, he actually helped his son kill his own daughter, and he can't tolerate it at all if he is a blood relative. And the queen's attitude towards this matter that day also made him completely chilled.
Mu Xianxian's heart warmed, and she looked up with a smile, "Well, my daughter knows." There is another thing, I asked the soldiers to take the soldiers to Zhong'an Tower for dinner, and today my father and eldest brother returned triumphantly, so I will take care of everyone and wash the dust. ”
Mu Zuocang smiled, "I also said that those people ran away without a trace, it turned out that they were pulled away by you, so okay, let's go to Zhong'an Tower to eat." Mu Zuocang turned around slightly and said to the generals who followed behind, "Today, Xian'er has a treat, let's go to Zhong'an Tower for a meal!"
"Let the eldest lady break the bank. It was Captain Han Bin in the barracks who spoke.
This Han Bin is only in his early twenties, and he is already a captain, which can be described as young and promising. His impression of Mu Xianxian in the past was not very good, but what Mu Xianxian did in the main hall today made him look a little different.
Mu Xianxian smiled, "It's not a waste of money, the emperor rewarded me with so much money, and I can't spend it myself." ”
Han Bin hadn't seen this Miss Mu before, but she had never given her a straight eye when she saw her in the past, unlike the gentle and polite Second Miss, the eldest Miss's attitude was also ignorant of it, and it was the first time to talk to them with such a pleasant face like today.
When they arrived at Zhong'an Tower, the brothers on the second floor were eating happily, and there was all the wine and meat on the table.
Mu Zuocang hurriedly asked them to sit down, let them just eat, and leave themselves alone.
Ah Liu arranged for another table of dishes, and Mu Xianxian sat between Mu Zuocang and Mu Wencheng and buried his head in eating meat, listening to them chatting about interesting things on the battlefield, and he was very happy to listen.
Mu Zuocang was happy today, drank a lot of wine, and his face was already red and drunk.
After the three rounds of drinking, the dinner was almost over, and when the soldiers heard that it was Mu Xianxian who invited guests to dinner, they all lined up and shouted to toast with Miss Mu.
"Today, thanks to the eldest lady's treat, let me wait for a good meal and drink, I Miss Liu Xujing have a cup, thank you for the eldest lady's wine and good food!" Liu Xu took the wine bowl and handed it to Mu Xianxian, looking stunned to clink glasses.
In fact, their move was just to test Mu Xianxian, they wanted to see if this Miss Mu had really changed her attitude, or if she was just pretending in front of General Mu.
Mu Wencheng frowned and walked in front of Mu Xianxian, "Liu Xu, my sister can't drink, I'll drink with you." ”
Xian'er has never liked to deal with them as rough men in the army, so how could she really drink with them!
"Major General, we are toasting the eldest lady, how can we replace it!"
"That's it! We handed over the bowls, and if we don't drink, we look down on us!"
"Major General, it's hard to go back to the city, don't spoil everyone's interest!"
The soldiers all shouted, or because they had drunk too much wine, their voices were particularly high, seeing this scene, Mu Zuocang was about to speak, but he heard Mu Xianxian say, "Ah Liu bring me a big bowl." ”
As soon as Mu Qianxian's voice fell, everyone was stunned, and Mu Zuocang and Mu Wencheng also turned their heads to look at her in some surprise.
Ah Liu walked to the counter with some hesitation and brought over a pottery bowl as big as the soldier, and looked at Mu Xianxian with a worried face, "Miss......"
Mu Xianxian glanced at Ah Liu soothingly, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a full bowl of wine, raised it and touched the bowl with Liu Xu, and said, "The soldiers protect their families and defend the country, and they spill their blood for the country, a meal is nothing, this bowl of wine is my respect for everyone!"
After Mu Xianxian finished speaking, she raised her head and drank a large bowl of wine, which was very crisp and neat. This is the first time she has drunk ancient liquor, it is strong and spicy, but it has a sweet aftertaste, and it is indeed much stronger than modern liquor.
After a few sips, Mu Xianxian also turned the wine bowl upside down, and it was really clean, and there was not a drop left.
"The eldest lady is really a heroine among women, and Liu also did it!" Liu Xu also raised his head and drank it clean.
Seeing that Liu Xu and Mu Xianxian were drinking boldly, everyone else also came to toast with Mu Xianxian with their own bowls, and Mu Xianxian also did not refuse to come, they all drank dry, and their faces did not change after a few rounds, so everyone silently had the idea of pouring her down.
Mu Zuocang and Mu Wencheng wanted to persuade these people with complicated faces, but Mu Xianxian said that it was okay, so they kept drinking. The happy days of eating meat and drinking so much reminded her of the way she used to eat with her teammates in modern times, and she couldn't help but miss it, so she indulged a little.
"Who else?" and the last person in line to toast finished drinking, Mu Xianxian held an empty bowl in one hand and stepped on a stool with one foot, looking extremely bold, not a little girl-like, but it looked particularly natural and bold, but it didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
The hundreds of soldiers basically toasted the wine, and there was only an empty wine jar around them, all of them with red faces and wine burps.
"I didn't ...... No more!"
"Miss...... Good amount of wine ......"
"We're served!"
Well, just take it.
Mu Xianxian smiled with satisfaction, then closed her eyes and fell backwards as soon as her body became weak.
The Mu family's father and brother were startled, and they reached out to pick it up, but Mu Wencheng was closer, and picked it up and hugged it in his arms.
"Jiayu, come and see, what's wrong with her?" Mu Wencheng anxiously shouted to Wei Jiayu on the side.
Wei Jiayu walked over and checked the pulse, and rolled Mu Xianxian's eyelids again, "She's fine, she's too drunk and drunk, just get some sleep." ”
Everyone was relieved when they heard this, watching her drink cup after cup but her face didn't change, and they thought that she was not drunk after a thousand cups, and it turned out that she would fall asleep if she drank too much!
Mu Zuocang saw that Mu Xianxian was drunk and unconscious, he was distressed and angry, and shouted at those soldiers, "Who let you pour her wine?
"Don't!!" Hearing this, the soldiers let out a burst of wails, the camp is so big, I am afraid that my legs will be weak and I can't walk after running twenty laps!
"The subordinates obeyed. Han Bin replied, he really pinched a cold sweat for himself in his heart, and he felt a sweat on his back after realizing it, fortunately he didn't go with him to toast, otherwise he would not have had to do these twenty laps!
At the other end of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Aunt Huang got up early to prepare for Mu Zuocang, and also made a large table of good dishes, in addition, she also drew an extremely realistic haggard makeup with Mu Wanwan.
It's just that after a long time, she didn't see Mu Zuocang until noon, so she sent someone out to inquire, and this inquiry, Aunt Huang almost overturned the table.
"What did you say? The old man was almost assassinated by the assassins?, or was he saved by Mu Xian Xian Nian?!" Aunt Huang looked at the person in front of her who was sent out to inquire about the situation with a shocked and angry expression, as if she was going to tear Mu Xian Xian with her hands!
