Chapter 44: Drawing Arrows to Help Each Other
"His Royal Highness the Prince, things have been carried out according to our plan, and they have been arranged over there, Mu Yu'an still has a sister stranded in Beijing, should we capture her and use it as a hole card to contain her?"
In the secret room of the East Palace, when Mu Yu'an left Shangjing the next day and set off for Xiliangguan, Qin Fu entered the East Palace again at night and discussed the next matters with the crown prince Nanxu late at night.
"No, my father's detention of her sister in Shangjing is to contain Mu Yu'an, first, we can't disrupt my father's plan, and I am already quite angry about what I did today."
"Second, the price is too great, do you think You Tianming will sit idly by, with him in the capital, unless you find six eight-rank peak powerhouses, you won't be able to get any benefits, and Shangjing is the imperial capital, it is not appropriate to make things bigger, or focus on Xiliangguan."
After hearing this, Prince Nanxu pondered for a moment, waved his hand and shook his head, analyzing the matter and analyzing the stakes, Qin Fu nodded, and also felt that Prince Nanxu was reasonable, and then asked with a cold look in his eyes:
"There is another matter that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to decide, that is, the final effect of the plan, whether to charge Mu Yu'an with a crime, deprive him of his military power, or let her die directly at the border."
Prince Nanxu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, staring at the lamp, thinking for a while, and said in a fierce voice:
"Let her die at the border pass, but she can't die at the hands of our people, even I can't afford the crime of assassinating the commander of the border pass."
Qin Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth slanted and smiled:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clever, and Weichen knows what to do, so let her die in the hands of the Huns, and it can be regarded as leaving her a good name."
……
"My big brother here, I'm really not idle for a moment!"
The second prince Nanyu walked out of the room, greeted the reflection of the moonlight, looked at the pond in front of the door reflecting the bright moon, stretched his waist, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and then turned his head to look at the beautiful woman behind him, and said gently:
"Yu Shu, prepare two healing gifts for me, after staying in the palace for so long, it's time to go out for a walk."
The princess with her delicate and graceful figure behind her, her head hummed softly, and her voice was pleasant and refreshing, like a spring breeze.
The next day, visit the Spring Garden.
In the middle of October, the green garden flowers and plants gradually withered slightly, and a thin layer of hoarfrost was applied to the surface, as if to tell the cold winter was coming.
Step through two stone gates, follow the bluestone paved path, walk up for a while, turn left and step up two or three stone steps, and you can follow the extension of the promenade to see a house half-built on the water.
"Recently, because of the matter of Kunning Palace, I have been busy taking care of my mother, I heard that you have suffered a heavy blow, and Nanxu will not have time to visit the two of you in the future, and today I have asked two friends to make amends."
Through the half-open wooden window, I saw the second prince Nan Yu in a white robe, and bent down to salute after speaking in a sincere tone.
"Brother Yu, you, the royal prince and nobleman, bent down to salute the two of us ordinary people, but it will torment us."
"Yes, Brother Nanyu, you let me understand how to deal with Feng like this."
You Qingyun and Xie Feng were invited by the second prince Nan Yu, and just sat on the couch in the room, Nan Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly saluted the two, and both of them were shocked.
"Friends gathering, there are no royal relatives and nobles here, there are no second princes, only the friends of the two of you, Nan Yu, who have not seen you for many days, drink a cup first."
The second prince, Nan Yu, slowly sat cross-legged on the soft collapse, and the two of them sat around the table as if they were hunting on the day of the hunt, raising their glasses and wanting to drink happily.
"Brother Jie, see that your face is a little pale, drink less before your injuries have healed, and you will be in a long time, and you will not be in a hurry."
Nan Yu looked at Xie Feng's pale face and persuaded softly.
"It's okay, I've been lying on the bed for a long time, even if Brother Yu doesn't say it, I want to invite the two of you to drink together, the internal injuries are no longer serious, you can have fun."
Xie Feng felt Nan Yu's concern, and knew that Nan Yu, as the prince, was extremely rare, and it could be regarded as a consolation in a foreign land. You Qingyun, who was sitting on the side, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, half-jokingly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
"Yes, Brother Nanyu, Xie Feng's body is strong, he can survive by the palm of the eight-rank master, just a few glasses of wine, come, let's have a good time today."
After three rounds of drinking, the second prince Nan Yu gradually put away his smile, looked at You Qingyun with a little solemnity and said:
"I heard that yesterday in the court, my father ordered the county lord of Yu'an to go to Xiliangguan to suppress the chaos, and there was an unknown force involved, I heard that the relationship with your You Mansion is very good, you have to let the general take more precautions for the county lord!"
You Qingyun also nodded when he heard this, and said softly:
"Well, thank you Brother Nanyu for telling me, Qing Yu is here to thank you."
"The clouds above the court are weird, there are many conspiracies and tricks, and I am really tired!"
Xie Feng seemed to feel something when he heard this, and his pale face gradually appeared a touch of ruddy under the reaction of alcohol.

Baquan Martial Arts Gym
"Master, Tieshi hasn't been home for a few months, and I want to go home to see my father."
In a practice room in the Baquan Martial Arts Hall, Tie Shi half-knelt in front of a strong middle-aged man, his voice was loud and powerful, sonorous and powerful.
"Tieshi, you miss your relatives, human nature, you have also broken through the three styles of the nine styles of the hegemony boxing, there is no way to protect yourself, it is time to go out to experience the experience, when you are about to break through the four styles, remember to come back, break through the danger, do you not take it lightly, do you understand.?"
Although the middle-aged man is slightly smaller than the iron and stone body, he is also stronger and taller than ordinary people, his cheeks are angular, his eyes are like torches, and his body seems to hide the divine power of earth-shattering ghosts and gods. But he looked at Tieshi and showed a rare tenderness, not only because Tieshi was talented and intelligent, suitable for his mantle inheritance, but also because Tieshi was loyal and kind, and his heart was very happy and gratified.
"Tieshi keep it in mind, Master take care!"
After hearing this, Tie Shi kowtowed three times, then turned around and walked out of the room.
"Little junior brother, remember to bring some delicious food and fun to my sister when you come back, senior brother and second senior brother they have all gone out to travel, but the master didn't let me go out, now you have to leave too, I am so bored in the martial arts hall alone."
As soon as Tie Shi walked out of the room and stepped into the corridor, he heard that he, the third senior sister, looked at him with resentment from afar, his eyes revealing envy, and more resentment.
"Senior sister, I... I'm just going home for a few days, and I won't forget my sister if I have delicious iron. ”
Tie Shi looked at the third senior sister's appearance, froze in place for a while, scratched the back of his head, and said with a sneer.
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing this, Tie Shi hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the gate outside the hall, this third senior sister always likes to tease him, but he is honest and honest and has nothing to do about it, so he can only run away in a hurry, and there are bursts of laughter like silver bells behind him. When he walked out of the door with the plaque of the Baquan Martial Arts Gym, he reluctantly looked back at this other home, and then walked in the direction of You Mansion.
"Big brother, Tieshi has come out of retreat, and I came to see you before I went home."
After a while, Tie Shi walked to the gate of You Mansion on foot, and the servants were familiar with Tie Shi, so he walked straight into the courtyard, and as soon as he walked into You Qingyun's courtyard gate, he met him playing chess with Jiefeng.
"Tieshi, your master let you out. The breath is strong, I feel that I can't beat you now, come on, come on, you're not here, you Qingyun brother and I, I'm bullied. ”
You Qingyun was overjoyed when he heard the familiar loud tone, and hurriedly got up and walked to Tie Shi, looking up and down, Tie Shi's stupid look was also laughed at by You Qingyun's words.
"Big brother, who are you bullying me, I'll beat him."
Tie Shi, who had just sat down, recalled You Qingyun's words, and asked anxiously after a few seconds.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Yu'an has already found the field for me, let me introduce you, this is Xie Feng, the second prince of Libei, and my good brother, and you will also be your good brother in the future, call Brother Feng."
You Qingyun hurriedly appeased Tie Shi again, pulled him back to his seat and introduced him to Xie Feng.
"Brother Feng!"
Xie Feng looked at this honest and loyal big man, the corners of his mouth also showed a smile, listening to his name, he glanced at You Qingyun. Then he turned his head and looked at Ironstone gently.
"Tie Shi sit down first, Qingyun has a good saying, everyone will be brothers in the future, wait for you to come back and drink together."
"You Qingyun, what do you think of my bow?"
Just when the three of them were greeting, a pleasant and sweet voice gradually reached their ears, and several people heard the sound and saw that it was Yuan Xingyu walking towards this side in a sassy manner.
Tie Shi and Yuan Xingyu are no strangers, the two of them had a good greeting, when she heard that Tie Shi was going back to Tianyang Village, the smart eyes slipped around, and her eyes looked at You Qingyun who was sitting there without blinking.
You Qingyun nodded at her in understanding, and then asked at Tie Shi:
"Tieshi, I haven't been to see your mother for a long time, I want to eat the dishes she cooks, why don't we go to Tianyang Village with you?"
"Xie Feng, are you going?"
After You Qingyun finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Xie Feng, Xie Feng shook his head, saying that the injury needed to be recuperated, and he would go again next time, and finally whispered a question to him.
"You go with Miss Yuan, am I still suitable to go?"
You Qingyun thought about it, and then shook his head under his white eyes.
The three of them decided and immediately set off towards the south gate, Yuan Xingyu passed by the street, and bought a lot of food supplements in the store, saying that he couldn't go to Tieshi's house empty-handed.
Three people and three horses rode out of the south gate and walked to the official road.
"Help, help!"
After three incense sticks, when the three of them walked to a remote road on the outskirts of the city twenty miles away, there were several heart-rending shouts for help, from far to near.
"Stop."
When the three of them approached and looked closer, they saw a ragged and unkempt woman being chased by five or six fierce killers. Yuan Xingyu was the first to open his eyes angrily, and after shouting angrily, he picked up the bow and arrow on his horseback and shot towards the sword that was about to be attacked.
