Beijing is a lively and extravagant place, everywhere is not the children of the family who do not treasure Qiu Ma, here is the ideal perfect city, and although the scale of this Jingyue Building is not as large as Fushang Building, Dai Ning Building, but it is better than the decoration of the restaurant is high-end, the service is excellent, some of these supplies at a glance will know that it is not those businessmen can find, everyone knows in their hearts that the owner of this Jingyue Building must be an imperial businessman, and therefore the guests of this restaurant are relatively special.

There are loyal ministers who are highly respected by the Apocalypse, children of families who spend a lot of money, and Han Su who wants to cast no way...... There is a high probability that what has been said here will reach the ears of the emperor, of course, if she wants to hear it.

Xu Mu returned home and changed into official clothes and went to Jingyue Tower first, she just got off the carriage and ran into Yao Pu without wanting to.

"Lord Yao."

Yao Pu naturally saw her, but because the two of them didn't deal with each other, he really didn't want to entangle with her, so he replied in a cold tone: "Master Xu." ”

"The prime minister is waiting for someone?" Xu Mu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, but the disinterest in his eyes was very obvious and could not be ignored.

Yao Pu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Hmm." ”

Just as Yao Pu raised his feet to go in, Xu Mu said again: "Your Majesty summoned you into the palace last night to be uncourteous, and now many people are talking about the Prime Minister of the Apocalypse, and Israel serves the king." She bit the last four words very hard.

Yao Pu's movements paused, stunned in place, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Mu, and a handsome and moody face finally showed a flaw, and even with anger in his tone: "Master Xu, the misfortune comes from the mouth, if the Xu family teacher can't tell you, I don't mind letting you know the consequences." ”

If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely kneel and beg for mercy at this time, but Xu Mu was not, she also looked back coldly: "What is Yao Xiang annoyed? Could it be that those people really got it right? ”

Xu Mu stared at him, admiring his gaffe.

It's a pity that it was only for a moment, and Yao Pu's expression recovered: "Master Xu is cautious." After saying that, he walked in without looking back.

Xu Mu stared at his back and licked her lower lip, she absolutely believed that Yao Pu was a decent gentleman, this kind of behavior was just to provoke him, it seems that she did it.

"Houyuan."

Xu Mu turned around when she heard this, it turned out to be Li Shu, she inadvertently looked behind him, and was relieved to see that Li Yao didn't come: "Brother Zikuan." ”

Li Shu saw her small movements in his eyes, and his eyes darkened: "Houyuan has set up a banquet here?"

Xu Mu didn't know how to answer for a while, so she didn't tell Li Shu directly: I have to be your brother.

"Yes, I made an appointment."

Li Shu nodded, and his tone was gentle: "Then I'll go in first." ”

Xu Mu hurriedly said: "Brother Zikuan, go slowly." ”

Thinking that this is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries often come after all, it is not appropriate for him to stay at this door for a long time, so he also walked in with his dress.

Li Shu went up to the second floor, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xu Mu also walking upstairs, he hooked his lips, pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

"Brother Chengye." Li Shu is no one else, it is our gentle and gentle Prime Minister.

"Zikuan, sit down." Yao Pu nodded at him.

Li Shu picked up the wine jug on the table, it was already half empty, he poured himself a glass, took a sip, and tasted it again: "It turned out to be tea." ”

Li Shu put down the wine bottle: "Brother Chengye has something on his mind? ”

Yao Pu drank another cup of tea: "It's fine." "How can it be okay, everything related to Jiang Churan can especially affect his emotions.

But he didn't seem to want to delve into this topic with Li Shu, so he said: "The Li family has been fighting with the Du family for all these years, do you know how many soldiers the Du family still has in the northwest?" ”

Li Shu said without thinking: "About three thousand, all of them are the elite henchmen of the Du family, and most of the rest of the troops in the northwest are imperial court troops. ”

Yao Pu shook his head: "The Du family is not that simple. He continued: "What do you think of Du Xuanye's proposal to His Majesty above the court today? ”

"Du Xuanye is not a person who can say such things, it should be the idea of the concubine of their Du family, although the first emperor and His Majesty have connived at the Du family over the years, they have also promoted my Li family, and the heart of the Son of Heaven has speculated a little...... The Du family is in a hurry. ”

Li Shu continued: "Since the death of General Du Fengmin, the Du family has been declining, they started by military exploits, and there are very few civil officials in the family who have the right to speak in the court, and if they want to rise again, they still have to rely on war. ”

Yao Pu nodded: "That's right, but have you heard that those 3,000 people are stationed in the northwest?" ”

Li Shu looked at him in confusion: "What does Brother Chengye mean?" Aren't all the troops in Suzhou? ”

Yao Pu remembered the Yuxin sent back by his spies in the northwest, and said in a deep voice: "The Du family is in Qiangcheng. ”

Li Shu was even more puzzled: "Qiangcheng? That dead city? ”

"Yes, the city that was slaughtered."

"But that city is full of lonely graves, there is no living creature, even Xinu avoids it, can his Du family place three thousand elites just to protect General Du's loyal soul?"

……

On the second floor, Xu Mu looked at Li Yao, who was a little restrained, and couldn't help but tease him: "I look at the front of the court, General Li is quite bold, why is he still shy?" ”

Hearing this, the tips of Li Yao's ears turned even redder, and he uncomfortably held a handful of jade Xiao, and it took a long time to hand this thing to Xu Mu, who was sitting opposite her: "This is the best Hetian jade I selected in the treasury, and I made it with my own hands." ”

Xu Mu naturally took it, and her powdery fingertips brushed over Xiao's body, and she carefully felt the lines on it, it should be pear blossoms.

"Ayao, thank you, I like it very much!"

Xu Mu put Yu Xiao away, and also took out a brocade box from behind him and put it in front of Li Yao: "Open it and take a look!"

Looking at the bright eyes of the girl in front of him, Li Yao only felt that his breath was stagnant, he nodded obediently, and opened the lid of the brocade box with his fingers.

Li Yao looked up at her.

"How? Like? ”

Li Yao nodded, and looked at her with some expectation, he wanted to know why.

Xu Mu slowly spoke: "Ah Yao, I know that your heaven and earth are on the battlefield, but I hope that every time you sacrifice your sword to fight, they can remind you that there are still people in Shengjing who want you to return." ”

She stared at Li Yao with a pair of black eyes, she knew that Li Yao could understand her mind, and Xu Mu was only waiting for his response now.

Li Yao's fingers trembled slightly, he closed the brocade box, and looked at Xu Mu, the tips of his ears were red just now, and now there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his expression was extremely serious and sincere: "Shengjing has Amu, and I am also a pawn when I am on the night platform." ”

Xu Mu smiled, smiling with tears in her eyes, she knew that the person in front of her had the same heart as her: "Silly Yao, you have to live." ”

Li Yao has learned the way of loyalty and patriotism since he was a child, he should "carry the jade dragon to die for the king" as a general, he looked at the people in front of him, this is the first time, he feels that "death" may be a taboo, and his soul has a home.

Li Yao took out the handkerchief from his arms, walked to her side, and clumsily wiped her tears: "Amu Mo thinks I'm stupid, I should have been open, but the battlefield has always been a sword without eyes......" He didn't say anything, and they knew the rest of the words.
