The battle between the Northern Sacred Dynasty and Bolu and Tibet ended with the surrender of the two countries. The news of the triumph of the Northern Holy Army spread throughout the capital, and early in the morning, the common people greeted the soldiers on both sides of Chengtianmen Street.

In fact, the Northern Holy Dynasty has been in constant war since the founding of Emperor Shun, but there are few inferior defeats, so the common people are convinced of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Holy Army, and they will never run to the street to greet the soldiers so excitedly.

All this is just because they want to see Mu Lingci's heroic appearance.

"Cangyuan, your charm is too exaggerated." As soon as Su Jingtian rode into the capital, he saw the entire street full of onlookers, and couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, you are not a lady, otherwise the people who come to propose marriage would have to go to Persia." ”

"Brother Su teased, they may not all come to see me." Mu Lingci sat on horseback in military uniform, his eyes kept looking for a certain figure in the crowd, and the crowd swept by his eyes suddenly exploded.

Mu Lingci's radiant heroic posture didn't know how many girls' hearts had stirred, but there was no one he wanted to see.

The army came to the gate of the palace in a mighty way, and Su Jingtian and Mu Ling went to the palace to listen to the announcement.

Emperor Shun had been waiting in Hanyuan Hall for a long time, and there seemed to be a needle on the dragon chair, which made him fidget and paced back and forth.

"General Su, General Mu is here!" A sharp voice came into the Hanyuan Palace.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Emperor Shun hurriedly gave Gong Qi a public message, and Gong Qi walked out with his horse bowed and invited the two generals in.

"Wait for the Holy Lord!" The two entered the hall and bowed in unison.

Emperor Shun waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy." And his eyes looked Mu Lingci up and down, as if he wanted to find something on Mu Lingci's body.

Sensing Emperor Shun's gaze, Mu Lingci said: "The Holy Lord is relieved, and the minister is not injured. ”

Only then did Emperor Shun put his mind at ease and smiled, "Okay, General Yunlu and Cangyuan have made a great contribution this time." Bolu and Tubo have sent envoys to surrender, and the rest of the vassal countries are also more in awe of my Northern Sage, which is all the credit of the two of you. Message! ”

Soon after, there was a holy decree that Mu Ling was promoted to the general of Zhengsanpin Yulin, and Su Jingtian, as the marshal, was given a personal sword that had followed Emperor Shun for decades, and the two were in the limelight for a day.

Some people are promoted to the next official and some people are jealous, in the Taiwei Mansion of Changle Lane in the easternmost part of the capital, a middle-aged man with a long beard said with an indignant face: "That Mu Lingci is just lucky to win against two small border countries, and he has jumped to General Yulin, if he is a milky kid who has not dried up, if he doesn't have the old thing Mu Yichuan to pave the way for him, can he have such good luck?" ”

"Shut up!" On the main seat, the gray-haired man couldn't help but glance at Shen Jinfeng, "That Mu Lingci has already shown his ability as a general when he was a teenager, how can you compare?" On this expedition, why did the saint choose Su Buya's son as the marshal, why did he choose Mu Lingci as the striker, and you, the general of Guide, can't even mix with the grain and grass officer, and you are so incapable and complaining here? How could I have given birth to such a bad seed as you! ”

Shen Jinfeng was scolded by Shen Shaorong and was silent, if it weren't for his second sister Shen Ziying being Emperor Shun's Shen Shufei, he might not be able to sit in the position of General Guide.

"Father, that Su Buya is the prince Zhan Shi, and his son Su Jingtian must also be the prince's party, and now Mu Lingci and Su Jingtian have returned from the expedition together, I am afraid that the Mu family will be biased towards the prince's party, isn't this also anxious."

"The Mu family has always avoided party affairs, but this time Mu Ling was able to go on the expedition, and our Nine Emperor Princes also contributed." Shen Shaorong smiled wickedly, although his son is incompetent, he also has a good grandson who is good at using wisdom.

Under the corridor of the palace, Mu Lingci and Su Jingtian were holding the holy decree and the other holding the sword and preparing to return to their respective homes, but they unexpectedly met the ceremonial drive of Princess Changhe head-on.

The three of them stopped, and Su Jingtian looked at the princess and then at Mu Lingci beside him, and suddenly understood it.

"The minister visits the princess, and the minister has urgent matters at home, so he will retire first." Su Jingtian hurriedly made up a reason to slip away, and when he left, he looked at Mu Lingci sympathetically, and said to him: "Take care, Cangyuan." ”

Princess Changhe stopped the attendants in place, and she slowly approached the man in front of her, her eyes full of love and tenderness as she looked at him.

"Cangyuan, you're back."

"If it's okay, the minister will retire first." Mu Ling said that he was leaving.

"Cangyuan!" Princess Changhe hurriedly stopped him, "Why are you always so cold to me? I just want to see how you've been doing these days, and even then wouldn't you want to stop and say a few words to me? ”

"I've seen it, princess can rest assured."

"After all these years, you don't understand my heart for you?" Princess Changhe walked up to him, and her eyes were affectionate that she had never felt when facing anyone, "Cangyuan, I thought that when you returned victoriously, we would be able to get married." ”

Mu Ling took a step back and looked at her solemnly, "Princess, the minister has someone he likes, but he is not a princess. The minister is very grateful for the princess's affectionate friendship, but the twisted melon is not sweet, and I hope that the princess will not do unnecessary entanglement in the future. After that, if it is not necessary, the minister will try not to appear in the palace and take his leave! ”

Princess Changhe looked at the people around her flashing in front of her, she felt that her heart was drained away, and her eyes were moist for some time, but the eyes were not sad, but resentful, and she remembered the face that Mu Cangyuan couldn't take her eyes off in her mind.

Mu Ling got out of his body and immediately rushed to Lou's house, he couldn't wait to meet the little lady who made him think about it.

Spring is coming to an end, and summer is coming, and the flowers and bones in the garden are waiting to be released, as if the spring heart of the young girl is budding, waiting for the advent of fate.

"Brother, the list will be released in two days, are you nervous?" Lou Yunxiao held the shower made from a wine pot and leisurely watered the flower beds in the yard.

"The so-called mediocrity is self-disturbing, I know my own strength, and there is nothing to worry about." Lou Xuanyi said in a relaxed tone.

"Then I'll accompany my brother to see the list." Lou Yunxiao smiled sweetly at her brother.

"Okay." Lou Xuanyi smiled dotingly.

"Can you take me with you?" Mu Lingci stood at the door of Fuguangxuan, looking at the brother and sister with a smile in his eyes.

"Cangyuan, I heard early in the morning that your class teacher returned to the court, and I thought that you would be squeezed out of the palace gate by the onlookers." Lou Xuanyi teased.

However, this is indeed the case, if it weren't for the Xuanjia army at the gate to open a way out, Mu Lingci would have slept at the palace gate.

Mu Lingci looked at Lou Yunxiao, who had been facing away from him, and asked softly, "Why does the third lady keep her back to him?" ”

The shower in her hand stopped moving, turned around slowly, hung her head and said, "Presumably General Mu and Brother Mu must have a lot to say, so I will leave first." ”

With that, she put down the shower and turned to leave.

Lou Xuanyi looked at her and felt distressed, and simply pulled Mu Lingci to tell him about the rumors and public opinion in the capital during this period of time, if it weren't for his protection, Lou's father and Fu's would have locked Lou Yunxiao in confinement a long time ago. In order to prevent her brother and sisters from being humiliated with her, she could only lock herself in the house all day long and not go out, but even so, the rumors outside still hit Lou Yunxiao like a rain of swords and swords.

After Mu Ling heard this, she became more and more fond of Lou Yunxiao, and her life was much more sad than she imagined.

Lou Xuanyi said a lot, and finally said to Mu Lingci seriously: "Cangyuan, I only want to ask you, are you really happy Xiao'er?" ”
