Liu sank his face, as if he was confronting him, until his eyes swept over the officials present, and finally said, "It's burned!" ”

The maid brought the brazier into the brazier and brought the flag in, and suddenly flames rose, and the smell of smoke filled the hall.

The officials hurriedly knelt down and thanked them.

Liu's face was displeased, and he looked left and right: "The chief manager should not smell the smell of smoke, please go back and rest." ”

The shoulders were brought in from outside, and the maids stepped forward, helped the chief steward to get up and sit in, and quickly carried them out.

Liu followed and stopped in front of Mu Changzhou, but what he saw was Shun Yin who was sitting: "That's all for today's banquet, next time the wife of the military secretary will have to do a good job, don't burden everyone anymore, this is the crime of killing the head!" ”

Shun Yin watched coldly as her bearded clothes walked by, and finally got up, her fingers clenched so tightly that she was almost unconscious.

There were no more officials and family members in the hall who dared to stay longer, and everyone retreated.

Mu Changzhou said again: "You don't have to bring a return gift, nothing happened at the banquet today." ”

Everyone put back the scroll according to the words, looked at him, and then looked at Shunyin, didn't dare to say anything, and quickly went out.

Behind the "...... of the military secretary", Zhang Junfeng called in a low voice, obviously endured until now.

Shunyin let them speak and walked slowly to the door.

As soon as I arrived outside the hall, I saw Lu Zhengnian standing by the door, looking at her timidly: "I, I just want to argue for my wife......

"It's useless to argue." Shun Yin said coldly, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. ”

The important thing is that when it is passed out, the responsibility lies with her and Mu Changzhou here.

Lu Yu was on the side, his face was unprecedentedly solemn, and he whispered, "Madam, this is going to be a big incident!" With that, he pushed Lu Zhengnian and hurried away.

Shunyin's heart tightened, and when she turned around, Zhang Junfeng had already walked out of the hall quickly, only glanced at her, and quickly left.

The attendants and maids who had rushed to serve the chief had returned one after another, and were coming here.

Mu Changzhou strode out, no longer even pretending to be alienated, grabbed her hand, and walked out.

A few hours ago, there was no carriage outside the governor's mansion, and only elite soldiers stood guard in front of the door.

Shunyin got into the car, Mu Changzhou quickly followed, and the car immediately drove out.

"I can't figure out why she's like that." Shun Yin whispered, "Just to deal with you and me, it's too risky." ”

"She's tempting." Mu Changzhou approached, and his voice was close to her ear, "If the news comes out and provokes resistance, then the responsibility lies with you and me, and the officials and families below are afraid, so naturally they will not come forward; If no one resists......" he paused, and after speaking, "next time it may not be impossible to come true." ”

Shun Yin looked at him in surprise, the car was too dark, and only the shadow of his side face could be seen.

"It's just too anxious, like I can't wait." Mu Changzhou groaned.

Shun Yin suddenly understood, stared at him and asked secretly, "The Governor's Mansion has already intended this?" ”

Mu Changzhou tilted his head and looked at her in the dark: "Do you think that Hufeng is prevalent in Hexi, and there is no artificiality?" Is your marriage really to connect the Central Plains, not a cover for the Central Plains to temporarily reassure the Central Plains? ”

Shunyin's eyes moved, and she fully understood that the manager had always been in a robe, and the wife of the manager loved Hu Yi and gold jewelry, and even let her take the name of Hu, all of which were deliberately promoting Hu Feng.

Up and down, this is the land west of the river that belongs to the same Hu and Han, and it is almost rare to see Han shadows.

The less Han Yi and Han Yin, the less influence of the Central Plains Dynasty.

When the power was growing, he forced Mu Changzhou to marry the Central Plains, chose a down-and-out her, and claimed that her heart was towards the imperial capital, which seemed to bow her head to show goodwill, but in fact it was still a strong barrier.

Today's move is just a hasty advance, and sooner or later it will come.

After a long time, she whispered: "Self-reliance is treasonous ......"

But this crime pointed her to the source.

CHAPTER XXXVI

On the way back, there was a faint movement of people and horses, and it lasted until he returned to the military secretary's mansion, and he was far away from it, and seemed to calm down.

Shunyin returned to the main house, removed all the hairpins, washed her makeup, sat on the couch with her coat on, and looked at the door while looking at the door over and over again.

The military secretary's mansion was also not peaceful, the front yard was still lit up, and Mu Changzhou entered the front hall after he came back, and he has not come out until now.

I can vaguely feel that people are constantly coming to the house, and they are leaving from the back door one after another, they should all be his direct subordinates, and I don't need to guess to know that most of them are military attachés.

"Madame," Shengyu said loudly through the door, "please Madame settle it early, it's not too early." ”

It's not early, it's already night. Shunyin didn't want her to feel that the current situation was wrong, as if nothing had happened, "um", got up and walked to the back of the screen.

It seems to be much quieter outside, and I wonder if all those people in the house are gone.

Shunyin lay down on the bed, and the situation at the banquet appeared in front of her again, and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that it would not be all.

After Mu Changzhou divided half of the military power of the governor's mansion, the Liu family could neither get close to him nor move him, so he could only use himself as a starting point to remove his gap.

Now that the birthday banquet dragged them into the water, it was indeed successful, but the crime was too big and the implication was too widespread, if it could not hit Mu Changzhou and the Military Division Mansion with one blow, it would definitely cause a backlash, so the Liu family must have a backhand......

The mood fluctuated, and after a while, the room suddenly darkened, the lights were extinguished, and then someone lay down.

Shun Yin's thoughts paused, and before she moved, her body was wrapped around her arms.

Mu Changzhou put his arm around her and reminded, "It's time for you to sleep." ”

Shun Yin spoke: "...... outside"

"Sleep." He interrupted suddenly, his voice was slightly deep, and he was a little tired, because he had just made too many arrangements in the hall, and he had not stopped until now.

Shunyin had to close her eyes, but she felt that his arms were around her, almost clasping her and completely sinking into his chest.

The back was already against his heart, and she could even feel his strong heartbeat, and she couldn't help but pluck his arm: "It's too tight." ”

Mu Changzhou let go of his arm a little and didn't speak.

Shun Yin also stopped talking, and he couldn't say anything about the current situation, but he felt that his body was tense and his breathing was slow, as if he was watching over her, he closed his eyes again, forcing himself not to think about it.

As soon as many clues stopped, fatigue suddenly swelled up, and after a long time, the arms on his body were tight, but the person had fallen asleep in a daze.

The arm seemed to flick her, and she turned over with his strength, towards him, and moved slightly, but his body was always heavy, and he never let go of her......

The night seemed to be surprisingly short, only about two or three hours, and footsteps came from outside.

Chang Feng called out outside the house, neither high nor low: "Military Division." ”

Shunyin didn't sleep deeply, and immediately opened her eyes, moved, rubbed her face against a plain white shirt, looked up, saw Mu Changzhou's jaw, and found that she was still being held by him, and her body was close to him, as if she was nested in his arms.

Mu Changzhou also opened his eyes, lowered his eyes to look at her, as if he wanted to say something, his thin lips just opened, he pursed it again, put his hand on her waist, hugged her and sat up, and then turned out: "Wait outside." ”

Shunyin sat up with him, felt that something was wrong, and immediately put on his clothes.

Mu Changzhou got out of bed first, took the outer robe on the shelf and put it on, and when he fastened the collar button, he had already walked out quickly.

Shun Yin quickly dressed, pulled up his hair with one hand, tried to listen to the movement outside with his right ear, and heard that he had walked back again, it should be Changfeng who left after reporting something, and hurriedly walked out of the back of the screen: "Something?" ”

Mu Changzhou approached straight and looked at her with his eyes: "No matter what, from now on, you will always follow me." ”

Shun Yin was stunned: "You don't pretend to be alienated?" ”

Mu Changzhou sneered: "The knife has been pointed at the neck, I'm afraid it's not necessary." ”

Shun Yin glanced at him, calmed down, and without the slightest hesitation, turned around and got dressed.

The sky was not yet fully bright, and the white sky dragged a few gray clouds.

The group arrived at the East City Gate, dozens of archers were behind, and two fierce horses were in front, far away from the main road, almost silent.

Zhang Junfeng's thin figure quickly came down from the city, and he was still wearing the official robe that he went to the banquet last night, as if he was staying directly at the city gate, and hugged his fists in front of him: "Military Division." ”

Mu Changzhou stepped across the horse first, his black robe and sleeves were tightly tied, his waist was equipped with a quiver and a horizontal knife, he held the reins in one hand and the bow in the other, and asked, "It's done?" ”

"Yes, the city gate fell last night." After Zhang Junfeng finished speaking, he glanced at him.

Shunyin was covered with a cloak and a hood, and sat on a horse, following closely.

She glanced at the closed gate under the city, and it was not surprising that there was no curfew last night, so in order to prevent the news from leaking, it was natural to close the city as soon as possible.

The city guards suddenly came in a hurry and saluted Mu Changzhou: "Military Division, the four cities are closed, and you need a warrant from the Governor's Mansion, but the Governor's Mansion has not issued ......an order."

Mu Changzhou glanced at it: "I didn't say that the city was closed, but then Liangzhou can only enter and not exit." If you put in a soldier, come to see you. ”

The city guard heard that the tone was wrong, and knelt on the ground in fright, not daring to say more.

Zhang Junfeng frowned and waved back the city guard, and suddenly said: "Military Division, there is one more thing to ......" He looked at Shunyin on the side again.

Mu Changzhou glanced at Shun Yin and whispered, "You can go up to the city and watch." ”

Shunyin saw that they seemed to be talking about military affairs, and it was with this intention that he lifted his eyes to look at the city, and got off his horse.

I went up the stairs to the city, and the northwest wind suddenly came to my face.

Shunyin looked into the wind and looked into the distance, and the outside of the city seemed to be as usual, but there were many more patrolling soldiers and horses; Looking at the head of the city, the defenders were much more numerous, almost doubled; Looking back at the city, although there were already voices of people in the main city, it was silent compared to the past.

Yesterday's hustle and bustle was festive, and it disappeared overnight.

Shun Yin carefully inspected it a few times, and looked at the city, Mu Changzhou was under the horse, and he and Zhang Junfeng had already walked to the house under the city.

Zhang Junfeng seemed to have finished the report, and stopped there, as if waiting for his order, but turned his head and glanced behind him.

Shun Yin followed his line of sight, and saw Lu Zhengnian standing on the side of the road, wearing the same skirt as when he went to the banquet last night, as if he had not slept all night, his hair was also a little messy, and he hung his head with his fingers twisted, and cautiously looked at her at the head of the city.

Mu Changzhou waved his hand at Zhang Junfeng, turned around and walked towards the city.

Shunyin watched him arrive in the city, and then looked down, but Lu Zhengnian was no longer visible, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "Lu Yu is sick, let him recuperate at home, and he won't have to come out for this time." ”

Shun Yin remembered Lu Yuan's expression when he said that something big was going to happen last night, and he didn't seem to have an evasive attitude, and before he could think about it, he suddenly saw Mu Changzhou staring at the north of the city, and immediately followed it.

The north of the city is the political center of Liangzhou, where the official office is, and the governor's office is also there.

She looked around again and said softly, "You've prepared for the worst?" "Otherwise, there would have been more defenders in the city, and more patrols outside the city.

Mu Changzhou actually smiled: "No, this is not the worst plan. He withdrew his gaze from the north, pressed his hand behind her waist, and led her down.

It wasn't until he returned to the city and sent her to the horse that he spoke in a low voice, almost close to her ear: "The soldiers and horses directly under the governor's mansion near Liangzhou will be mobilized at any time, but the governor's mansion will not be used easily, and the movements of other states should be paid more attention to." ”

Shun Yin twisted his eyebrows, although the city gate was already under his control, but the help in the city was only minimal: "Those officials should not show up." ”

Mu Changzhou's tone was slightly cold: "After last night, it is inevitable." After saying that, he turned over and got on the horse.

Shunyin grabbed the reins, followed the stirrups and got on the horse's back, and quickly passed through it in her heart.
