Two days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to send troops.

Mu Yi undertook to set up a banquet for Konoha to eat.

At the banquet, the singing and dancing were leveled, and Konoha didn't understand, it was clear that the border war was urgent, and it was clear that Nanwan's army was approaching day by day. These people say "100,000 urgent", but in fact they are addicted to good food and wine.

Where to go is something to celebrate, it means a big war, it means blood, it means that some families will be broken forever.

It should be tragic, a glass of wine is enough, as long as the wine is strong enough, it can burn from the throat to the heart, burn the attachment and fear to the fullest, and then with the determination of a moth to the fire, there is a possibility of winning.

She looked at these people, who were them, and warmly congratulated her and her ten thousand soldiers on what they thought they were going to die.

Konoha's heart was full of resentment. One day, she swore to them that I would make them pay.

The strange thing is that no matter how angry he is in his heart, Konoha always has a shallow smile. Konoha himself is also curious, the former Gu Yunyue can't learn to greet the annoying person with a smile anyway, how can Konoha be self-taught.

But Konoha didn't have time to think about it for a long time, because the little maid who was squeezing her eyebrows at her a foot away looked like Yao Lin.

Konoha left his seat and gave Yao Lin a look, and the two left the main hall one after the other.

"Why are you here?" Konoha pulled Yao Lin down behind a clump of evergreens.

Yao Lin's tone couldn't hide the pride: "I'm going to the East Palace today and pretending to be like this, pretending to be the prince's brother's little maid and sneaking in." ”

Konoha looked at her expression and knew what she wanted to hear, and helped her straighten the hairpin: "Our Lin'er is so smart, I was still thinking about how to meet you." ”

Yao Lin rubbed Konoha in the palm of her hand like a kitten, and she didn't care that her hair was messy.

She stretched out her hand and took out a red bag: "I heard from the prince's brother that there are many people in Nanwan, and this battle will be very difficult." I can't do anything else, I can only go to Huguo Temple to ask for a peace charm, to protect you from this battle and come back safely. ”

Konoha's heart warmed, and he took the bag and wanted to open it. Yao Lin pressed her hand and looked nervous: "You can't open it, it won't work if you open it!" ”

Konoha obediently didn't think about opening it anymore, she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but she carefully put the bag close to her body.

"Sister Aye, you'll come back safely, right?" Yao Lin cautiously spoke, "Promise me that you will come back safely." ”

"I promise I'll be back."

Yao Lin protested loudly: "No, no, I don't want you to come back, I want you to come back alive." ”

What he said made Konoha feel that he was probably a rabbit in Yao Lin's heart.

Seeing that Mu Ye didn't speak, Yao Lin couldn't do it in a hurry: "Sister Ah Ye is so powerful, she will definitely be able to come back, right?" ”

Konoha reached out and touched the corner of Yao Lin's mouth, and raised it, making Yao Lin smile: "I promise you, I will come back alive." ”

After getting the promise, Yao Lin was obviously relieved, but remembered something: "You have to tell me when you will come back!" ”

Seeing her like this, Konoha knew that it was completely useless to explain to her the impermanence of war or something, and after thinking for a while, Konoha told her, "When the lotus flowers are blooming, I will definitely come back." ”

Yao Lin was still unwilling, and added: "Then when you come back, you will teach me to ride a horse, and you are not allowed to make excuses." ”

Konoha scratched her nose with a smile and replied to her with a smile: "Okay, I must not make excuses." ”

It was too long to be away from the table, and Konoha had to go back and continue acting with those people.

But her mood was much better, Yao Lin's bag was like a small flame, burning close to her skin, making her feel less cold.

After the banquet, Mu Yi undertook the holy decree of sending troops, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military went to the city gate to send the army out.

The team of 10,000 people lined up, and there was also the momentum of reaching the sky, the horses stepped on the yellow sand, the west wind was fierce, and the people who watched it gave birth to a pride from the bottom of their hearts.

Mu Beimo will represent the royal family and accompany the army for a day, and when the army is opened, he and Konoha march at the front of the queue.

There were many people along the way, and the two didn't say anything, until after camping at night, Mu Beimo came to Konoha's handsome tent.

Konoha glanced at Mu Yun, who had bowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and retreated, and called away the guards guarding the door.

Konoha pushed the battle report on the table forward, supported his forehead with his right hand, and gently rubbed his temples with his thumb: "What does Brother Wang want to tell me?" ”

There was a palpable exhaustion in his voice.

Mu Beimo snapped his fingers, and two wolf guards appeared silently behind him.

"You take Wolf Five and Wolf Seven with you, let them tell me if you need me. The wolf guards have their own way of delivering messages, and they will be much faster than the postmen. Mu Beimo approached Konoha and slowly lowered her hand, reaching out for her to continue rubbing.

Mu Beimo's fingers are slender, and there is a thin layer of cocoons on the fingertips. Mu Ye felt that this cold jade-like hand was cold and comfortable on her forehead, so she simply leaned back and let herself lean into Mu Beimo's arms: "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”

"Wolf Seven is what I have always kept by your side, and you are familiar with him. Wolf Five is safe, you can use it with confidence. ”

Konoha let out a soft "um" that counted as an answer.

As soon as Mu Beimo raised his eyes, Wolf Five and Wolf Seven left silently as they came.

Mu Beimo continued: "I will keep an eye on Yao Hongzhi's movements in the court, but there are old Zhang Geyuan people in your army, and they may not be in contact with Yao Hongzhi, so you should also be more vigilant." ”

This sentence actually has some meaning, Mu Ye naturally knows who needs to be careful in the army, and Yao Hongzhi's movements in the court can only be mastered by Mu Beimo. So Konoha didn't even give a perfunctory answer.

There was no one in the tent for a while, and the silence seeped into every corner little by little, like water that had been overturned.

Ever since he first met Konoha, Mu Beimo had always felt that Konoha was different from all the women he knew. Although Xiling is not as constrained by etiquette as Nanwan, there is still no girl like Konoha.

Konoha is like a sword, slim, but sharp.

Now she was quietly leaning in her arms, seemingly unguarded trust, but in fact, Mu Beimo couldn't detect any emotions other than exhaustion.

"If I can come back this time, my father won't believe me, will he?" Konoha's voice was almost dreamy, but it ruined the peace in the tent.

In fact, this sentence is not asking Mu Beimo, Mu Ye is as clear as Mu Beimo, no matter what she does, Mu Yicheng will not fully believe her.

The seeds of doubt had long been planted in Mu Yicheng's heart, and all Konoha's efforts were just to cut off the branches that grew.

But as long as the seed is there, anything can be an opportunity for it to sprout again.

However, there may be a way to dig up this seed.

The reason why Gu Yunyue was able to turn into Konoha was because she hated Nan Wan.

The reason why Xiling needs Konoha is because she is the material of a general that Xiling lacks.

The reason why Mu Yicheng was suspicious of Mu Ye was because she was taught by Gu Yunlie.

"Ah Ye, if you want your father to stop suspecting you, it's not like there's nothing you can do. If you kill Gu Yunlie in front of the two armies this time, your father will not have any doubts about your loyalty. ”

The momentum on Konoha's body suddenly changed, as if a sharp blade was unsheathed, and the blade that flashed with cold light stopped in front of Mu Beimo's eyes, so close that he could clearly see the cold murderous aura.

"Impossible." Konoha turned around suddenly, looked up into Mu Beimo's eyes, and emphasized word by word: "I will never, absolutely not raise troops against my brother, let alone kill him." ”

The anger in her eyes was so real and undisguised, Mu Beimo sneered: "Brother? Who is your brother? ”

Konoha didn't feel that he was speechless: "Brother Wang knows as well as I do, my brother is Gu Yunlie. ”

This attitude was like a spark, igniting the layers of anger in Mu Beimo's heart: "Maybe you need me to remind you what happened when you sent an envoy to Nanwan not long ago. If my memory is not wrong, it is your good brother Gu Yunlie who used your trust to poison you. Or maybe you forgot who got you back. ”

Konoha's tone softened slightly: "Ah Ye naturally remembers that it was Brother Wang who saved me, and was even injured by me. ”

"Very good, since you remember this," Mu Beimo was still aggressive, "Then maybe you forgot that the sugar cake you ate was highly poisoned, and the sugar cake was given to you by Gu Yunlie himself." ”

Mu Beimo saw the shrinking and dodging in Konoha's eyes, but he grabbed Konoha by the neck and forced her to look directly at him: "Gu Yunlie wants to kill you, he wants you to die, he wants Konoha to die like Gu Yunyue." ”

His voice was calm and almost cruel, and he bit every word hard.

It seems that every word in this sentence is not a cold and hard tone, but a sharp dagger, to cut open Konoha's deliberately closed eyes, forcing her to look directly at the bloody truth.

Konoha was still struggling: "It's not that he wants me to die, if I am safe and sound that day, Emperor Jianzhao will severely punish Gu Fu." He is the eldest son of the Taishi, and he has no other choice. ”

Mu Beimo was about to laugh angrily: "You even helped him think of the reason, didn't you?" Konoha, maybe I didn't say it clearly enough, let me explain it to you again. ”

He paused, slightly restrained his compelling momentum, bent down to Konoha's ear, and said in an almost gentle voice: "You are right, Gu Yunlie is the eldest son of the Gu Mansion. So his sister is Gu Yunyue, and she can only be Gu Yunyue, and Gu Yunyue died outside Taiding Pass. Konoha is the murderer who killed Gu Yunyue, so now Gu Yunlie just wants to kill you to avenge his sister. ”

He was so close that he could clearly feel Konoha's trembling body, and the cold tears that slipped down.

Mu Beimo squatted down, so that Konoha who was sitting was a little taller than him. He wiped the tears from the corners of Konoha's eyes with his thumb: "Ah Ye, you shouldn't be so greedy, you want to be Gu Yunlie's sister while being the lord of Xiling." ”

His tone was stern, with a little helplessness and doting, like a brother teaching his sister who has done something wrong.

But the next sentence became the prince's order to his subordinates.

"So, Ah Ye, kill him!"
