The snow fell heavily and for a long time this year. Since Mu Yi returned from the palace, the snow has not stopped.

He originally wanted to go back to Yaskawa's hometown to spend this New Year, but was interrupted by the heavy snow, and could only get drunk with Yue Ting and the two on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Man is a very strange animal, he likes to make noise when he is free, he likes to be idle when he is noisy, he looks forward to snow when it is hot, and he looks forward to sunny days when it snows.

Unfortunately, it always backfired, and until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow still did not stop, but it fell heavier and heavier. However, everyone has not forgotten the custom of making lanterns during the Lantern Festival, but is more worried. The heavy snow has made the streets so deserted that if there is not much trouble, people are afraid that they will be sick.

It's strange that Xiao Zichen is not as pestering Mu Yi as expected, and he has only come twice these days. Even Mu Yi's invitation to enjoy the lanterns at the Lantern Festival was refused.

'Women are really hard to understand. Mu Yi sighed.

Ru Yi went out of the house, saying that he was going to Yanzhou to collect the last year's land rent. The female companion is gone, but Mu Yi still wants to go and see the lanterns, and he feels too lonely. Yue Ting and the Yan sisters had a hot fight, and he was the only one left in the house. If he didn't go to the excitement, he was afraid that he would also be sick.

This is not home after all, Mu Yi walked on the bustling and snowy street, and sighed in his heart. What about being a general, without a family, he is wandering.

"This little brother is alone, are you interested in accompanying the slave family to visit the lanterns? A soft creepy voice came.

Mu Yi frowned, and looked to both sides, there were many green buildings. Could it be that the girl from Qinglou actually took advantage of this Lantern Festival to come out to solicit customers.

"I'm sorry, not interested. Mu Yi didn't bother to look at each other, and waved his hand forward.

"Yo, little brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. The slave family is not a tiger, what are you afraid of. After eating and laughing, the woman held Mu Yi with her backhand.

"Why do you still use your hands and feet, you don't know shame!" Mu Yi was not in a good mood, raised his hand to shake off the woman's soft pancreas, and said angrily. But as soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked, and there seemed to be one more thing in his hand.

"Why are you so incomprehensible that you deserve to be alone. Without waiting for Mu Yi to take a closer look at this girl's appearance, she turned around and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Mu Yi looked around to see that no one was paying attention, so he covered his right hand with a cloak, slightly loosened his five fingers, and found that there was a note inside, with only four words on it: "East of the Falling Moon Bridge".

Mu Yi's mind changed rapidly, the other party used this way to pass the news to him, he must not want to have anything to do with him openly, but secretly he had something to ask him. Those who are used to using the girl of the Qinglou are the three princes.

Whether it was the third prince or not, he had to take a look, and after asking a few passers-by who admired the lanterns, it was easy to find this Falling Moon Bridge.

The Falling Moon Bridge is not on the street for viewing the lanterns, it was a good place to enjoy the moon in previous years, but today there is no moon, and it is extremely deserted. Mu Yi raised his eyes and saw no one, and after walking a few steps further, he found that a person was wearing a snow-white cloak, even his hair was wrapped in it, blending in with the surrounding snowscape, and the heavy snow gave him a good cover.

"I also wore a white cape, which seemed like a good choice. Mu Yi thought to himself, and his footsteps continued to move forward.

"I don't know about this brother, but you have something to do with me?" he asked, looking behind the man's back.

"General Mu, don't come unharmed, why don't you come with me to see the beautiful scenery of the moon on the river. "Humane in white.

The river has been frozen, the sky is full of snow, and what is the beautiful scenery to speak of? Mu Yi slandered in his heart, raised his feet and stepped forward, standing side by side with the man in white.

"Dare to ask Brother Tai what he has to say. Mu Yi couldn't bear the loneliness and continued to ask.

"It's just a chat with General Mu. The man in white turned his head sideways and smiled at Mu Yi.

"His Royal Highness the Prince!" Mu Yi exclaimed, and he wanted to bow down.

"General Mu is exempt from courtesy, you and I can just look at the beautiful scenery in the river together, and we don't need these courtesies. ”

Mu Yi raised his eyes and saw that the river had already frozen, and it was white. He thought about it and understood that the prince wanted to use the heavy snow to cover up the scene of the two of them, so he accompanied him to stand side by side, not squinting.

"General Mu's southern expedition this time was a complete victory, and Xiao Wang admired it very much. With General Mu as a tiger general, Daxia will no longer have to worry about foreign invasion in the future. ”

"The last general is also a fluke, a fluke. Mu Yi pondered the words of the crown prince Xia Qinghao, and it seemed that he didn't mean anything else.

"General Xia and General Sima are old, General Li is seriously ill, and General Liu has no ability to fight. In the future, in Great Xia, General Mu is really the first person in the army. Prince Xia Qinghao turned his face slightly and smiled at Mu Yi.

"After all, this world belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince. No matter what official position the last general is, he has to rely on the power of His Royal Highness. Mu Yi already had the three strategies set by Yue Ting in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Not necessarily, not necessarily. The prince shook his head lightly, "Who is in this world, I'm afraid it depends on General Mu's meaning." ”

Mu Yi was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious." The crown prince's ascension to the Ninth Five-Year Plan is only a matter of time. The last general is a courtier, and his allegiance is also to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Xia Qinghao chuckled and said, "General Mu was born in the Second Prince's Mansion, doesn't he support the second brother?"

"The last general just happened to be supported by the second prince once. In the past expedition to the west, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also recommended Mu Yi, and the end will be remembered in his heart. ”

Xia Qinghao shook his head: "It's not easy to meet today. Don't talk about these scenes. Xiao Wang's trip just wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with General Mu. As for how the general chooses, Xiao Wang is not reluctant. ”

Mu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "The last general would like to hear the details." ”

"I know that you have a close relationship with the second brother, and you also have a lot to do with the third brother, but I don't really care about these things. You have risen to the end of the millennium, and without help, it is impossible for you to rise so fast with your ability alone. General Mu, is what this king said right?" Xia Qinghao chuckled.

Mu Yi thought to himself, these things naturally couldn't be hidden from those who had a heart, so he turned sideways slightly and said, "Your Highness's eyes are like torches. ”

"The battle for the throne is actually quite boring. The prince sighed lightly, "If I care about the position of the crown prince, how can I repeatedly anger my father and make him dislike me." If I had done what my father wanted, I wouldn't have been in trouble today. What Xiao Wang cares about is the people in this world. ”

Mu Yi's heart moved, it was not unreasonable for the prince to say this. Xia Qingmang repeatedly spoke out against the conquest and paid attention to the people's livelihood, which led to Emperor Xia's intention of abolishing the establishment. Otherwise, with his talent and mind, he will be a generation of Ming Jun in the future.

"His Royal Highness cares about the livelihood of the people in the world, and the general will admire it very much. Now that the four seas are peaceful, there is no need to fight. His Royal Highness has governed the country in a good way, and His Majesty must have lost some of his previous hesitations, and will definitely preserve His Highness's position. ”

"What General Mu said does have some truth. Xia Qinghao nodded, "My father has praised me a lot recently, and from time to time he asked me some ways to govern the country, and he was very satisfied with what I answered. ”

"Then I would like to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Mu Yi said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid it's not so easy. The crown prince frowned, "My father not only asked me questions, but also the second and third brothers participated, but they were only slightly satisfied with my answers." My father's health is not as good as before, and he has also recruited important ministers into the palace many times to meet him, I am afraid that he will have the intention of being lonely and have to make the final choice. ”

This is a royal secret, Mu Yi is not easy to speak, so he has to keep silent.

"Today, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng is the leader of the Wenchen. Although General Xia has the highest qualifications among the generals, the most important thing for his father is definitely General Mu. In the future, among the important ministers of the auxiliary government, General Mu will play a pivotal role. ”

"The last general is ashamed, but in his position, he seeks his government. Mu Yi will do his best to live up to the trust. Mu Yi didn't dare to say anything, so he snorted.

"Actually, whether he can ascend the throne or not, this king doesn't care very much. But this throne must not fall into the hands of the second brother!" the prince turned his head suddenly, staring at Mu Yi. The snow on his body, with his movements, went straight down, startling Mu Yi.

"The last general" Mu Yi was startled, and his speech was a little trembling.

"I don't need you to show loyalty. Xia Qinghao waved his hand, his movements were a little large, and he seemed to be very excited, "The second brother is ruthless, brutal, and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. He also despised the people, and once when he went out, he was beheaded by him because passers-by were slow to avoid. With such a character, if he becomes a great treasure in the future, not only the lives of our princes will not be guaranteed, but the people of the world will be in danger. ”

Mu Yi was dumbfounded, he knew that Xia Qingmang was insidious, but he had never heard of killing people at will, and he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while.

"Xiao Zichen came to me," the prince turned his head and took two deep breaths, then regained his elegant appearance and said softly.

Although this sentence was light, it was like thunder that exploded in Mu Yi's heart. Xiao Zichen knew that he and the second prince had purchased weapons, and if the prince knew about it, his net worth and life would be played with in applause.

"Do you know why she came to this king?" the prince looked at Mu Yi with a sideways smile, wanting to see something in his eyes.

Mu Yi made up his mind, since the prince still told him so much, it means that he didn't have the handle in his hands, otherwise if he said this, even if he didn't want to, he would have to work hard for him.

"Presumably it is to avenge the Xiao family. Mu Yi tried his best to stabilize his mind and bowed his head.

"That's right," Xia Qinghao retracted his gaze, "But do you know who instigated the Xiao family's extermination case?"

"I don't know. Mu Yi said stiffly.

"It's what the second brother did. He was just trying to gather money so that he could win over the courtiers. cooperated with the three major firms and brought down the Xiao family. The three major firms went to a rival, and he reaped a lot of wealth, which was indeed a win-win deal. The prince chuckled.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Although Mu Yi had expected that there would be a big man behind the scenes, and Bacheng was also the second prince, he had to express surprise when he heard the prince say it.

"This king is not a woman, and she just asked me for help. Xia Qinghao chuckled, "Miss Zichen is a good girl, so beautiful, but her background is pitiful, General Mu will treat her well in the future." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. Mu Yi panicked in his heart, didn't dare to say more, and immediately bowed down to thank him.

"If there is nothing else to do, it would be better for you and me to separate earlier, the second brother has many eyes and ears. Today's words, I hope General Mu will give more consideration. The prince smiled and sent the guests off.

"Then he will take his leave. Mu Yi saluted slightly, and slowly took five or six steps back before turning around and disappearing into the vast snow.
