Sharp-heartedness vs 21
Shun Yin pondered his words, glanced at the wrist he was holding again, and asked softly, "Second Brother Mu is threatening me again?" ”
"It's a negotiation." Mu Changzhou's eyes were calm, and he stood up slightly straighter, "I used to be a high school jinshi, and I have seen this saint." Jinsheng is the same age as me, and his mind is not complicated. I know that he attaches great importance to border defense, and what he wants is that border defense will be stable and free from the scourge of soldiers. Why don't you give him what he wants, give me what I want? ”
"......" Shunyin became more and more stunned, his eyes fell on his face, but he couldn't see half a joke, only that his eyes were as heavy as ink, and he couldn't see the bottom.
Mu Changzhou clasped her wrist and loosened some strength, and said again: "Yin Niang and I are already husband and wife, is it enough to only be promoted without illness?" If you want to revive the Feng family, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to have a more powerful husband? ”
Shun Yin's heart moved, and she looked at him for a moment, but she just wanted to avoid it, and shook her wrist: "I didn't know that Second Brother Mu had become such a person." ”
As soon as his wrist tightened, Mu Changzhou's hand suddenly clenched again. He didn't seem to care, and even smiled, pulled her in front of him with a strong hand, lowered his head, and approached her right ear, his voice was so deep that only she could hear it: "No matter what kind of person I am, in Liangzhou, the only one you can rely on is me." ”
CHAPTER XXI
Shun Yin leaned in front of him, a warm breath in his right ear, his wrist seemed to be numb by him, and only his last words were left in his ears and heart: "In Liangzhou, the only person you can rely on is me." ”
The next moment, he suddenly let go of his hand.
There seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps outside, and when they reached the door, they seemed to immediately retreat, and Shengyu's raised voice came from outside: "Come and invite Mrs. to dinner, I don't know that the military secretary has returned." ”
No one responded.
Shun Yin pressed his wrist and watched him move his steps in front of him, as if he was about to leave, but he paused, close at hand, and he said in a low voice: "I'll call you tomorrow morning." ”
With that, he left the room.
Shunyin glanced back at the door, and saw him nowhere to be seen, before he completely came back to his senses, and the words before were like a dream.
She walked into the room with a heart that had been revealed, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
"Ma'am?" Katsuyu called her inquiringly by the door.
Shunyin only waved his hand and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Shengyu had no choice but to retreat.
Barely cared how the night went.
Shunyin didn't care how she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and thought about her family, father, eldest brother, and former brothers...... If it was still in front of me, I even wanted to ask them why they told Mu Changzhou about these things, but the facts were decided.
Tossing and turning, when she fell asleep, she did the dream last time - she was restrained by Mu Changzhou at the horse barrier trap, and he was asking: "What else did Yin Niang hide from me?" But without the urgency and apprehension he had before, he actually asked this sentence with a smile in his dream.
Shun Yin woke up in shock, facing the darkness, and suddenly understood why he would talk directly to her about those military affairs when he tested himself before, because he had never thought of treating her as a spy at all. He had no anger at what she did, as long as she could be his help.
Thinking of this, Shun Yin exhaled lightly and said in a low voice: "How dare he ......?"
But he really dared.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and even the Octuator clanged against each other.
Shunyin came back to his senses and got up, thinking that it was Shengyu, so he only put on his coat and went over to open the door, the door opened, and Mu Changzhou stood outside.
Before dawn, he was fully dressed, changed his clothes, and almost half of his body was hidden in the undawned sky, and his eyes looked at her before turning away: "I said I would come to call you." ”
Shun Yin thought about it, he did say, and put his finger on his shirt: "What to do?" ”
It was still early, and he didn't sleep for long, and his voice was deep and slightly hoarse: "To go to Ganzhou, you must have Yin Niang on this trip." ”
The sky had just revealed a glimmer of blue light, and before it could be brightened, Hu Xiao'er had already rushed to the gate of the military secretary's mansion alone.
Zhang Junfeng had already arrived one step ahead of him, and was sitting on his horse staring at the door of the mansion, behind him was a neat line of archers.
Hu Xiao'er hit his horse and asked, "Zuoshi also received an order?" Why do you suddenly say you're leaving? ”
He caught the spies for a day yesterday, and he was half dead from exhaustion, so he simply stayed at the city gate to make do with the night. I didn't want to be in the middle of the night, Changfeng suddenly arrived, woke him up, and said that the military secretary had an order and would leave for Ganzhou today. He had no choice but to rush over.
Zhang Junfeng said: "How do I know, the military secretary suddenly returned to the city yesterday, and I don't know what to do, last night I ordered an archer to pass the order to continue to clean up the secret agents in the cities, and then asked me to set off." ”
Hu Xiao'er turned his head to look at the door of the house, the door was closed, and he couldn't see anything, which was even more strange.
Just thinking about whether to go and knock on the door, the door suddenly opened.
A few attendants opened the door of the mansion to the end, followed by Changfeng, and led a few people out quickly, running around, leading horses and knives.
Mu Changzhou walked out of the house.
Hu Xiao'er immediately came to the spirit: "The military secretary can be calculated!" ”
Mu Changzhou stood in front of the mansion and suddenly glanced at him: "You welcomed your relatives back before, but you haven't rewarded it so far, and when you finish your trip to Ganzhou, come back to Changfeng to get it." ”
Hu Xiao'er's eyes instantly widened: "The military secretary wants to reward me?" ”
Mu Changzhou stood by the gate of the mansion, with a faint smile on his lips, when he got the letter from Feng Wujian yesterday, he was still unsure, he compared it for a long time, and when he returned to the city, he was worried that his guess was wrong, but the moment he saw Shunyin, he knew that it was right. He nodded: "You have a meritorious welcome." ”
Well? Hu Xiao'er couldn't help but turn her head to look back, squeezing her eyebrows with Zhang Junfeng, what's wrong today?
Changfeng has brought the horse in.
Hu Xiao'er came back to her senses from the surprise: "Then let's go." ”
Mu Changzhou didn't answer, and turned around to look at the door of the mansion.
Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng followed his line of sight almost at the same time to look at the door of the mansion, and then they were all stunned.
Shunyin walked out of the door, dressed in a narrow-sleeved skirt and a hat, dressed as a traveler.
Mu Changzhou walked down the steps, but instead of leading his own horse, he led her horse, until he reached the front of the steps, and looked at her with his eyes: "Come up." ”
Shunyin stood on the steps, glanced at him, and finally walked down, took the reins, and stepped on the stirrups to get on the horse.
Mu Changzhou walked to his horse, hung up the longbow, turned over, and took the horizontal knife handed by Changfeng and put it on his waist, pulling the horse on the road.
Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng watched his every move just now, still surprised, and saw that he had already beaten his horse out, so they hurriedly followed.
"Commander!" Hu Xiao'er couldn't help it, and when she saw Shunyin following behind, she had to say it in person, "This is not a business trip, and you have to take your wife with you?" ”
Mu Changzhou said without looking back: "I will take my wife with me in the future." ”
"......" Hu Xiao'er was inexplicable, and looked at Zhang Junfeng, the military secretary returned to the mansion last night, and he became inseparable from his wife for half a step?
Shun Yin didn't hear clearly in the rear, and only glanced at Mu Changzhou.
He looked behind him, his gaze passed over Hu and Zhang, fell on her, and glanced to his left.
Shunyin's eyes moved slightly, pulled the reins, and still hit the horse and went to his side.
Their ranks were not huge, only a line of archers, and none of the attendants and maids were brought with them.
After leaving Liangzhou City from the West City Gate, I went straight to the west, but I did not take the wide avenue, but only took the small road.
When the sky was completely bright, it had left Liangzhou City for nearly ten miles.
Shunyin walked all the way, silently noting down the route all the way, this road is so fast, it must be a shortcut.
Mu Changzhou glanced at her immediately, slowed down his horse, and became parallel to her, and suddenly asked, "Do you need me to slow down?" ”
Shun Yin was stunned for a moment before he realized that he saw himself turning his head and looking around, and said lightly: "No need." After a pause, her voice was lowered, "I may not have promised Second Brother Mu yesterday." ”
Mu Changzhou looked at her, his eyes fell on her right ear, swept over her earlobe, and his voice was also lowered: "Could it be that Yin Niang still has someone else to rely on?" ”
"......" Shunyin pursed her lips, glanced at him, and said no more.
Mu Changzhou also stopped talking, there seemed to be only the way forward in her eyes, knowing that she was not happy at the moment, the situation she was in yesterday had been brought out by herself today, maybe she really didn't accept his "discussion" in her heart.
Zhang Junfeng observed the present all the way, tilted his head and whispered to Hu Xiao'er: "Didn't the military secretary say yesterday that the spies who arrested him went?" ”
Hu Xiao'er also wondered: "Could it be that you caught it?" Otherwise, how could you suddenly reward me for welcoming my relatives! ”
Zhang Junfeng glanced at Shunyin and muttered: "What do you have to do with her......"
But then they saw Mu Changzhou's eyes glancing back, and the two of them were suddenly silent. In the past, he also whispered in private, knowing that the military secretary's ear power was excellent and nothing was wrong, but this was the first time he had received such an explicit stop.
It didn't stop all the way, and it seemed very eager.
I had a meal in the middle, also on a horse, and I ate dry food for the march.
Shunyin has long been accustomed to being served by no one, but it is the first time to eat such a dry and hard military ration, which is obviously dried meat and cakes, but it seems to be able to cut people's throats.
She sat on the horse, lifted the veil of her hat to the brim, and chewed the last bite of the cake while walking slowly, and suddenly a water bladder came to her, and she immediately took it, unscrewed it and took a sip, and it was much more comfortable.
Suddenly glanced at the side, the water bladder was handed by Mu Changzhou, she glanced at his thin lips in a ghostly manner, turned around and unscrewed the stopper, stopped drinking, and handed it over.
Mu Changzhou turned his head to look, his eyes swept on her side face, took it, unscrewed it and drank it directly, before plugging it on, as if it was deliberate.
Shun Yin glanced at it, silently pulled down the hanging veil, and pursed his lips.
Keep going, still without pause.
Hu Xiao'er finished nibbling on a meal of jerky and two pieces of Hu Biscuits, and from time to time she had to sweep her eyes at Shunyin, thinking that she would not be able to stand it and go back, but she still didn't see her returning, and she couldn't say anything more, the military secretary's ears were too good to be heard.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the procession finally stopped.
"Dismount and prepare the account on the spot." Mu Changzhou got off the horse first.
The archers immediately dismounted, took down the felt cloth and blanket from behind the horses, and looked for a leeward place to erect a fence.
Shun Yin dismounted, took a look at the situation, and thought that it was not the first time, they were already familiar with the road.
Soon a thick blanket was laid out, surrounded by felt cloth. Mu Changzhou glanced at Shunyin: "You live here." ”
Shun Yin knew that it was for herself, so she took a closer look, and was unexpectedly thoughtful, and couldn't help but look at him again.
The sun had receded, and there was no wind all around, and it was very quiet.
Shun Yin was just about to open the felt cloth and go in, when suddenly a sharp whistle sounded straight into her ear, and she immediately covered her left ear with one hand and took two steps back.
"Quick! Disperse! Hu Xiao'er jumped up and instructed the archers to spread out for protection.
Mu Changzhou held the bow and listened to the movement around, and stopped: "It should be that the patrolling soldiers and horses in the nearby city have discovered the abnormal movement and are warning them, not in this direction, follow them, only guard them fifty steps away, there is no need to attract them." ”
Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Jun were ordered to personally take the archers to make arrangements.
Mu Changzhou turned around, and suddenly saw that Shunyin had not yet entered the felt cloth, covering his left ear with one hand, and had just taken it away.
In the next moment, there was another sharp whistle.
Shunyin covered her left ear again, her eyebrows furrowed.
He saw it clearly and walked over.
I don't know where the warning is, and it goes on and on.
Finally like the voice was gone, Shun Yin took his hand, raised his eyes and suddenly saw a figure in front of him.
