The paddock seemed to have changed, and the hustle and bustle of the last night suddenly subsided today, and the whole yard became very quiet.

Shun Yin walked out of the house, and when he went down from the high platform, he saw fast horses in the distance passing through the paddock in a row, and it seemed that they were all sergeants who had come here before.

Sheng Yu followed her to the right, saw that she had been looking into the distance, and explained: "An urgent order has just come, and these soldiers have been ordered to rush back. ”

Shunyin immediately asked, "Do you know what happened?" ”

Sheng Yu shook his head.

The carriage was ready, and Changfeng came to ask Shunyin to board the carriage.

Shun Yin just stepped on the pier, looked around, didn't see Mu Changzhou's figure, and asked, "Where is the military secretary?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "As soon as Zhang Zuoshi and Hu Fantou came, the Governor's Mansion sent someone here, and the military secretary has taken Zhang Zuoshi and Hu Fantou into the Governor's Mansion, leaving a message for Mrs. to go back first, and he then rushed back." ”

Shunyin twisted her eyebrows, faintly felt that it was not good, patient, lifted the curtain and sat in the car.

The carriage drove into the south gate of the city, and went straight to the city.

The situation in the city today looks a little different, Shun Yin opened the window curtain and looked all the way, there were many people walking around on the street, looking a little panicked, and a caravan with camels was struggling to drive away, shouting constantly.

She put down the curtain and remembered that Zhang Junfeng said that the situation was wrong, and she was even more curious about what happened, as if it had changed overnight.

The carriage moved forward without hurry, and was about to turn around and drive towards the military secretary's office.

Shun Yin thought for a while, raised his voice and said, "Go north, go to the north city gate." ”

Outside, Shengyu heard it, replied "yes", and told the team to go straight north.

It took a while to drive to the north gate and almost all the city, and it was already early afternoon when we arrived.

Sheng Yu opened the bamboo curtain of the car door, asked Shunyin to get out of the car, and asked, "What is the lady doing here?" ”

Shunyin leaned out of the car and said casually, "Just come and see." ”

Here she came with Mu Changzhou, and the city guards recognized her, and when they saw the military secretary's mansion and a group of horses coming, they came down with a few people to salute.

Shunyin stood under the city and glanced up: "I'll go up to the city to see." ”

When the city guard saw that she was coming alone, he looked at her twice, but he didn't dare to stop her, so he retreated to invite.

Shunyin walked up, she remembered that the terrain was high, and it could be used to look inside and outside the city, and maybe she could see something.

Until the head of the city, standing by the sentry post where she had come before, the sun was dazzlingly strong, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, and scanned the city, and suddenly found that the number of defenders here had increased a lot, nearly double that of the last time she came.

Suddenly, there was the sound of neat steps, mixed with the sound of several horses' hooves.

Shun Yin heard it, turned her head and looked for it, the voice came from the city, a column of soldiers and horses was coming from afar, the armor was neat, she had seen it many times, it was a soldier in Liangzhou.

The leading soldiers were a little familiar, and it seemed that they had seen them in the Xia Wei enclosure in the past two days, and they paused at the city gate, and their tone was not good: "On the order of Liu Dudu, lead the troops out of the city to the pass!" ”

The gates were opened, and a group of soldiers went out of the gates.

Shun Yin looked at them incredulously, on the orders of Liu Dudu, wouldn't that really obey Liu Qiantai's orders?

There was a faint sound of a fast horse, and she didn't pay attention.

The city guard suddenly came behind him: "Madam, the military department has not checked the city defense recently, and Madame, please go down to the city earlier." ”

She wrinkled her eyebrows, the implication was that the military secretary had now unloaded the city defense military affairs, and she couldn't stay anymore, just turned around, but saw the city guard hurriedly retreating.

Under the city, a man walked slowly, tall and tall, in a hunting robe, staring at the city guard.

The city guards did not dare to say much, and hurriedly walked away, and even the soldiers on the left and right of the city retreated, and saluted him in unison.

It was Mu Changzhou, he strode closer and looked at Shunyin: "I heard that you didn't go back to the house, so I guessed that you came here." ”

Shun Yin looked at him and came to him, swept left and right, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Naturally, I asked him how he was after entering the governor's mansion.

Mu Changzhou looked at the soldiers who had just gone out outside the city: "There is a military horse farm in Ganzhou, and the right to command the troops in Liangzhou is temporarily handed over to Liu Qiantai, the governor of Suzhou. ”

Shun Yin was shocked, but he didn't expect it to come true, and he recruited Liu Qiantai into the city, but it was really to divide the military and politics to him.

"On what ground?" There has to be a cause.

Mu Changzhou stretched out his hand, pressed her on the back of her waist, and led her forward.

Shunyin was carried out with his strength, and when he reached the steps on the side of the sentry tower, he put his hand behind her waist and led her up directly.

Almost half-hugged by him to the sentry platform, Shun Yin stood on a high place, and suddenly felt the wind blowing loudly, passing by his right ear.

Mu Changzhou put his hand on her shoulder, so that she was facing the outside of the city, facing the north: "Look into the distance." ”

Shun Yin looked out in the direction he said, except for the barrier-like mountain not far away, there was also a gate looming along the mountain, the sun was dazzling, and a cloud of smoke was faintly dragging out.

No, it wasn't smoke, she looked closely, it was beacon smoke.

She was stunned for a moment: "Is there an enemy? ”

Mu Changzhou said: "Yes, there is an enemy situation. As soon as there is a change in the military and political affairs of Liangzhou, it is easy to prevent the news, and the strong enemies here are waiting, and when they learn that there is a change in the military and political affairs of Liangzhou, some people naturally think that it is a good time, so the Western Turks are coming. ”

Shun Yin has already understood: "The governor's mansion wants to use Liu Qiantai to defend against the enemy?" ”

He laughed, "That's right. ”

No wonder Zhang Junfeng said that he caught up with this matter, and it turned out that he was using this as a reason to divide his military power. Shun Yin couldn't help pinching her fingers: "You agreed?" ”

Mu Changzhou nodded: "I agreed." ”

Shun Yin looked at him in surprise.

Mu Changzhou tilted his head, met her gaze, and lowered his voice: "This is an opportunity." ”

Shun Yin looked at his mouth, and his mind moved, only to know why he would agree, he wanted to rely on this sudden attack to win back the game completely.

"Maybe there will really be a war, and even the war will be calculated...... she faced the wind and deliberately opened her lips: cunning.

Mu Changzhou had already seen it, and his tone was not in a hurry: "If you want to be powerful, you must do whatever it takes." ”

He lowered his head, propped one hand on her side, and approached from behind, as if he was just accompanying her to watch the movement outside the city: "I also hope that Yin Niang can be the wife of the military secretary, and naturally she will firmly keep the position of the military secretary." ”

CHAPTER XLIV

Shunyin's ears were brushed by his voice, slightly itchy, his eyes flickered, only to feel that he was a disguise again, and he now even has his own reason for power.

But nothing more could be said.

Chang Feng followed, and said under the sentry platform: "Military Division, the Governor's Mansion has sent someone to summon the news. ”

Mu Changzhou stood up straight: "I've found it here." ”

Shunyin glanced back at him, and he looked at her, and looked at each other, and didn't say anything.

I knew that there was probably another order.

Mu Changzhou put his hand behind her waist again, and turned down.

And came an attendant of the governor's house, and stood under the city.

Seeing the military secretary and his wife go down to the city, the attendant hurriedly reported: "The chief manager wants to pray for the blessing of the city in order to avoid the soldiers, so he hereby submits this matter to the military secretary, and asks the military secretary and his wife to act in place of the governor's office, and worship by the lake at night, and tell the heavens to stabilize the people's hearts." ”

Mu Changzhou asked directly: "But there are other orders?" ”

The attendant hung his head: "Yes, the chief manager asks the military secretary to sit in the city recently, and not to leave without permission, so as not to disturb the people's hearts." ”

Shunyin's mind moved slightly, and he didn't say a word beside him.

Mu Changzhou looked unwavering, and nodded: "Return to the manager, you must obey your fate." ”

The attendant bowed down and hurried away.

Shun Yin raised her eyes to look at Mu Changzhou, and there were still guards guarding the city on the left and right, She didn't speak, her eyes seemed to ask what to do next?

Mu Changzhou finally showed a trace of coldness on his face, and when he was suddenly grounded at this time, he was even more imprisoned, but he didn't say anything, and when he looked at her again, he even brought a smile, like a caressing, and turned around and walked to the horse: "Go back to the house, prepare to pray for blessings." ”

"......" Shunyin pursed her lips and could only follow to board the car.

Returning to the Military Division's Mansion is a busy one.

Prayers are made in the evening, but bathing, changing clothes, and all kinds of preparations take time.

It was getting late, but the food delivered to the East House did not move a few bites.

Shun Yin had no appetite, and slowly paced in the room, grasping the current situation little by little.

The situation is getting more and more serious, and it seems that there is no choice but to turn the tide by war.

After four or five trips back and forth, she lifted her eyes and thought about it.

Sheng Yu walked in and asked, "Madam, it's time to change your clothes." ”

Shunyin glanced at the dress she was holding in her hand, it was a skirt with wide sleeves and a belt, just like what she usually wears, but it was more solemn. She suddenly said, "Change your clothes, change your clothes." ”

Sheng Yu looked up at her: "Madame wants to wear a beard today?" "It's rare that she is willing to take the initiative to change her beard.

Shunyin said, "Prepare my round-necked robe as well, and I'll use it later." ”

Shengyu didn't know why, but she immediately went to change her clothes.

Soon brought the clothes, a dark blue silk bottom, lightly embroidered dark pattern Hu Yi, Sheng Yu put the round-necked robe on the table and draped the Hu Yi for her.

Shunyin put it on, her black hair was high, and she didn't do much decoration, and immediately walked out of the door and walked to the main house.

Mu Changzhou just changed his clothes, wearing a deep robe, today it is rare to unbutton the round neck, the collar is folded, embroidered with red gold dark lines, and he walks out of the house independently, his body is long and windy, and suddenly he has more noble atmosphere.

Seeing Shun Yin at a glance, he looked at her for a while, and couldn't stop: "Yin Niang, is this what Mrs. Tou is like?" ”

Shun Yin suddenly felt that the clothes on his body matched his robe very well, with the same deep bottom dark lines, and said lightly: "Second Brother Mu is already like this, shouldn't I still do what he likes?" ”

Mu Changzhou smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

Shun Yin took a step closer, and just wanted to say something, Changfeng behind him had already come quickly, and the sky was about to darken, and I was afraid that it would be too late.

She had no choice but to say it for now.

Mu Changzhou glanced at her, seemed to see it, and walked out: "I'll talk about it later." ”

Shunyin silently followed him.

Prayers have their own process, which varies from place to place, but it is usually an altar in the city to be offered to the heavens.

There is a lake in the city of Liangzhou, which passes through the city widely, and the water in the northwest is more expensive, so the altar is set up by the lake.
