She couldn't be sure of the meaning of Xiao Mu's words for a while: "Is there anything that needs to be explained to me?" ”

In the end, the two are allies, and when she returns to Beijing this time, if she can do something, she will not refuse.

But I heard him say: "No, it's me who needs to arrange everything in Yingzhou-"

"And then?"

Xiao Mu looked at her: "Then go to Jingshi with you." ”

"Go to Jingshi together?!" Heng Yujie was taken aback, and immediately said, "How can this work?" ”

"Why not?" Xiao Mu asked calmly: "What, are you afraid that I will go back with you, ask for a name from your family, and force you to fulfill your promise?" ”

With the gradual change in the way the two get along, Hengyu has long been accustomed to a joke that he is about to come out of nowhere-

But is this a joke?

"Master Hou still has to laugh at this time." She looked at him puzzled: "Why on earth did you want to go to Jingshi?" ”

He is different from others, if Jingshi is a splendid and prosperous place for others, he is a murderous place.

"The person behind the curtain acted ruthlessly, you went back to Beijing alone, I am afraid that the road will be unstable, you and I go together, but there is a response." As Xiao Mu spoke, he raised his hand and took out a document from the pile of official documents.

Heng Yu frowned: "If you don't worry about my safety, just send someone to follow you secretly, where is the need for you to go in person?" ”

Supposedly, he was not such a fool.

Sure enough—

"The day before yesterday, the Beijing master sent a holy message, and on the May Thousand Autumn Festival, the saint summoned me to Beijing to celebrate together." Xiao Mu put the document in his hand and said.

"Thousand Autumn Festival?" Heng Yu's eyes changed slightly, and he subconsciously said: "The people who have entered the imperial tomb with one foot, what kind of banquet are they holding for a thousand years......?"

Since last winter, my brother has revealed in his letter that the saint is seriously ill.

The Qianqiu Festival is the birthday of a saint, but it is not celebrated every year, let alone summoning the princes into Beijing to celebrate such a big formation.

Hearing her whisper, "One foot into the imperial mausoleum", Xiao Mu wanted to laugh.

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, Heng Yu, who was anxious to take care of himself, asked, "Have you ever seen such a summons in previous years?" ”

"Never." Xiao Mu looked at the folded paper and said, "The holy oracle said that in previous years, I was busy with the war and had no time to go to Beijing-"

Heng Yu wanted to sneer when he heard this.

Is there no time to go to Beijing, or no time to die?

"Now that the city has been recovered, and the war has stopped for a while, I was summoned to Beijing to participate in the banquet and be rewarded together." Xiao Mu finished speaking.

This argument that even a three-year-old child can't deceive, Heng Yu is too lazy to do a half-word analysis, just looked at him and asked: "There may not be Jiang Zhengfu involved in this, and if the assassination fails, he wants to force you to enter Beijing by a will-let you go, you will go?" Are you going to the Hongmen Banquet too? ”

Xiao Mu also looked at her and said, "Naturally, it's because I want to go." ”

Heng Yugang wanted to ask again, only to hear a knock on the door of the study.

"General, Yan Junshi, they have arrived."

Xiao Mu: "Please come in." ”

Hengyu looked at him.

Understanding the inquiry in her eyes, Xiao Mu said softly: "It's windy outside, let's sit again." ”

Heng Yu was only halfway through his words, and he didn't want to go back, so he didn't see him politely when he heard the words.

Since the two are allies, they should have exchanged information when they encountered such a big decision.

Even though she felt that his decision was too risky or even hasty, she still believed in her heart that he must have a reason for acting.

Heng Yu calmed down, and soon saw Yan Junshi, Mr. Su, Yin Hai, Wang Jingyong, and Yan Ming walking in together.

Heng Yu got up and saluted the two elders and greeted everyone in turn.

Seeing that she was also there, except for Mr. Su, who was slightly surprised by the five people, they all felt very normal.

"Let's all sit down and talk." Xiao Mu said.

Everyone should sit down, and Yan Junshi asked, "Has the general really decided to be called to Beijing?" ”

Xiao Mu nodded.

"But ......" Mr. Su hesitated, but only for a moment, and said: "The saint is seriously ill, and it is at the time of the change of the throne...... I'm afraid that I will be used by the 'people with a heart' to play at that time, and if there is dirty water and I am trapped in the Beijing Division, I am afraid that I will not have the power to resist at all. ”

"But if you don't go, you will not obey the order, and you will be arrogant, and it can also be a reason to ask for guilt...... "Yin Hai said: "This move may have the intention of testing whether the Hou Ye is loyal." ”

How faithful can they be at ease? Are you willing to die? Mr. Su's face was solemn: "Even if there is a suspicion of resisting the decree, as long as you can stay in the north, at least you still have the power to protect yourself, and if you go to Jingshi, you will really become a trapped beast in a cage." ”

"Mr. Su's meaning is that Ben Hou understands, but the so-called power of self-preservation is nothing more than fighting against the security of the Northland and the Lu Longjun as a shield-" Xiao Mu said: "There is no way to do both in this matter, but sitting behind the people of the Northland is definitely not a real way to break the situation." ”

Understood what he was saying, Mr. Su was speechless for a moment before asking: "Do you remember what Master Hou promised Su when he entered the Hou Mansion on the first day?" ”

At that time, he once said: 'The situation is like this, if one day, the general's loyal people are unkind, I hope that the general must act according to the situation, and never repeat the mistakes of Shu Guogong'——

We must not repeat the mistakes of Shu Guogong.

Xiao Muyu repeated this sentence in his heart, looked at Mr. Su and said: "Mr. Su, rest assured, what I wish is to seek a better solution, not to show my loyalty to death-I am very sorry for my life now, and I can't do anything willing to die." ”

"Since I am determined to go to Beijing, I should be fully prepared to leave enough chips for retreat and self-protection." Xiao Mu looked at everyone, "I invite you to come here today to discuss this matter." ”

In other words, the decision has been made, and there is no possibility of turning around, just to discuss the countermeasures.

Mr. Su sighed deeply in his heart.

What is fully prepared, where is the "everything", no matter how well it is said, it still can't escape the four words of risk!

No amount of countermeasures can be taken to remedy it as much as possible......

To put it bluntly, this is putting the safety of the Northland first and the safety of one's own body last.

How could Heng Yu not understand this truth, and subconsciously looked at Yan Ming, who had not said a word.

At this time, Doctor Yan was not allowed to stand up and take two steps and scold a few words?

However, Yan Ming only half-lowered his eyes, and he didn't even know if he was listening to the conversation.

"I know that the general has the heart to pity the people in the world, and he is unwilling to start a war until he has to...... Mr. Su sighed lightly, and finally compromised: "Su is willing to do his best to promote the general's wish." ”

Xiao Mu raised his hand: "Xiao Mu, thank you Mr. for your help." ”

Yan Junshi, who had never spoken much, looked at Xiao Mu, and there was only one feeling in his heart at this time - this day really came.

This is still the boy back then, how he will choose, almost from the beginning is doomed, despite a lot of experience, the boy has never wavered.

Changes in circumstances can't shake him, the world's discussions can't shake him, and the supreme temptation of fame and interests, doubts and suspicions can't shake him like a sword.

If it is said that the ...... who is most likely to persuade him at the moment

Yan Junshi's gaze fell on the girl who was sitting there quietly.

The most likely to be persuaded - probably the least likely to be persuaded.

The door of the study was closed, and everyone deliberated until late afternoon, when they only roughly analyzed the situation thoroughly.

"Different from the mediocrity of today's saints, it can be seen in some new policies in recent years, and today's prince seems to be a little bit of a good heart, and he cares about the benevolence of the people...... Mr. Su pondered: "After entering Beijing, the Hou Ye may be able to contact him or two...... If you can gain the trust and approval of the prince, it is undoubtedly the most feasible shortcut. ”

The saint has been ill for a long time, although it is inevitable that he will be restrained by all sides, but the prince is not without power in his hands.

Xiao Mu bowed: "Yes, I also have this intention." ”

Hearing this, Master Yan looked at Xiao Mu and said, "...... The prince is certainly benevolent, but in the end, he is the prince, and he must think about more than one place, and there may not be no people around him who are playing right and wrong, and when the general comes into contact with him, he should pay attention to it again and again. ”

Mr. Su nodded in agreement, but he felt that something was not quite right-Xiao Hou shouldn't have understood such an easy-to-understand truth, why did Yan Junshi even explain it like telling children?

Is this too meticulous if you care?

What Mr. Su didn't understand, Hengyu could understand.

Yan Junshi said this, probably because he was worried that Xiao Mu would be blinded by the old friendship and be too gullible to trust the prince, right?

In the end, there is already one similar example in the Shi family.

Xiao Mu: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to proportion." ”

He immediately looked at Mr. Su: "What we just talked about about the reserve of grain, grass and weapons in the army, Mr. Lao Su went to find Lord Liu to draw up the quantity regulations as soon as possible, so that it could be arranged as soon as possible." ”

As a last resort, he is reluctant to fight, but this does not mean that he sits still, and some preparations must be made.

"Yes, Su will go to do this first." Mr. Su stood up and saluted and withdrew.

"I'll go with you to Beijing."

As soon as Mr. Su left, Yan Ming, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Xiao Mu and said.

"No need, you and the military advisor can stay." Xiao Mu refused.

"Why not?" Yan Ming said: "If you go to Beijing this time, it will be impossible for you to be without danger, and I may be able to save your life at a critical moment——"

He neither called Xiao Mu a general, nor did he call him a marquis, as if he was only facing a good friend.

Xiao Mu's tone was also very casual: "Can't you hope for something good?" ”

"This should ask you, which of these decisions you have made is in the hope of your own goodness?" Yan Ming asked rhetorically.

Xiao Mu laughed.

"Come together, go back together." Yan Ming looked at him and said in a non-negotiable tone.

Xiao Mu looked at him.

The four eyes are connected, and inside them is a past that only two people can read.

Wang Jingyong didn't understand, but this did not prevent him from following his statement: "His subordinates also entered Beijing with the general!" ”

Meritorious deeds are what he wants, but if there is no general, then all this is meaningless.

His greatest merit, the most important business, was to follow the general and protect the general.

"Then I'll go with you?" Yin Hai said in a leisurely tone: "There are military divisions and Mr. Su in the north who stay to control the overall situation, and there is Deputy General Zhou in the army, so I can't help much, so it is better to follow the Longtan Tiger's Den in Beijing to have a long experience." ”

Xiao Mu's gaze fell on Yan Ming, Wang Jingyong, and Yin Hai in turn, and after a while, he said: "Well, the three of you have not yet become a family, and it is suitable for me to enter Beijing." ”

Heng Yu smiled when he heard this, and suddenly understood what Ah Weng had said - sometimes, receiving is also giving.

Receiving the heart of others is indeed another kind of giving.

"That's a good point, Liu Xun and Dazhu are not suitable to go together now." Yin Hai sighed and looked at Yan Ming and Wang Jingyong: "It's also that Jiang Media's official is slower, otherwise I am the only one who is qualified to accompany me on this trip?" ”

Xiao Mu smiled when he heard this.

Yan Ming also showed a helpless smile.

Since Xiao Mu was almost killed in poisoning last time, many of his thoughts have also changed.

Yan Junshi looked at a few people: "Since you all have to follow, then come with me, and first clarify your respective errands before you speak——"

This means to assign errands separately, explain the details, and let them perform their duties well.

Yin Hai got up with a smile: "The situation in Beijing belongs to the military division that has the most detailed grasp, we have to do our homework well, let's go, let the military advisor open a small stove for us alone, warm a pot of wine and talk slowly......"

Seeing Xiao Mu nodding, Wang Jingyong saluted: "My subordinates retire." ”

Seeing Yan Junshi and the others leaving, Heng Yu also got up: "Then I'll go back too." ”

Xiao Mu looked at her: "Let's go together." ”

Heng Yu glanced at him and didn't say much.

The two of them left the outer study together.

"You don't approve of me entering Beijing, do you?" As he walked through a verandah, Xiao Mu opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Does it matter if I approve or not? Master Hou has already decided, and even if I persuade him, it will be just in vain. Hengyu looked ahead with the hand stove in his arms, and asked helplessly, "Will you listen to me?" ”

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her.

He was tempted to say "yes".

But don't let her know for the time being—

"It's not that I don't disapprove, I'm just thinking......" Hengyu's voice was very soft, with a hint of sighing, "I finally escaped back then, why do I want to go back?" ”

Hearing the empathy in her tone, Xiao Mu's voice softened by two points: "The imperial court has inherent calculations and temptations, but for me, this is a rare opportunity - these days, you should know, I have been thinking about this matter, not all for the stability of the Northland...... I don't shy away from or fear the word rebellion, but even if I want to rebel, I should be sober and clear, not confused and used by others without knowing it. ”

He has never been a saint who only has the common people in his heart, and he also has his own thoughts and selfishness.

Hengyu turned his head to look at him: "What do you know about the truth back then...... And the situation between the DPRK and China, there are still doubts? ”

"Yes." Facing her, Xiao Mu truthfully said what he thought in his heart: "At such a critical time, what you and I see, it's hard to guarantee that someone doesn't want you and me to see - what is the truth, I want to find it myself." ”

Hengyu understood the meaning of his words.

He wanted to go to the capital, see the saint, see Jiang Zhengfu, and meet the people related to the old things of the family back then-

Verify the truth for yourself.

Take it all upon yourself.

That's why he said that this call to Beijing was an opportunity for him.

You can enter Beijing openly and honestly, and have the opportunity to end old things.

"I see."

She breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was in step with him again after all, and her tone returned to her usual free and easy: "Revenge, thousands of miles away, how can you talk about revenge." ”

She said, "Then let's go home together." ”

She's going home.

He's going home, too.
