The two people in the hall also stood on the left and right, Hu Xiao'er walked back and forth, rubbing his hands, pulling his beard from time to time, and sweeping his eyes back and forth, looking anxious.

Zhang Junfeng was to his right, frowning and pondering, occasionally glancing at the hall door.

Mu Changzhou stepped in, and when he entered the door, he said, "Report it." ”

Hu Xiao'er immediately stepped forward: "The matter of the fox boy has not been spread, and the states are stable now, and there is no movement of soldiers and horses." The soldiers and horses of the governor's palace have been assembled twenty miles outside the north city gate, and they have not moved. ”

Mu Changzhou said: "The governor's office asked for the opening of the city through the parade, and then mobilized troops and horses, presumably to receive someone. ”

Zhang Junfeng approached and said quickly: "The soldiers and horses in various states have not seen any movement, but outside the city, it has been found that someone from the direction of Suzhou is Liu Qiantai, and the soldiers and horses in the governor's mansion are prepared for him." ”

Mu Changzhou said coldly: "It can only be prepared for him." ”

Zhang Junfeng said: "The governor's office must have informed him early in the morning, and while the military department was busy dealing with Ganzhou in the past two days, he asked him to hurry up and take the opportunity to come." ”

Mu Changzhou walked two steps around the hall and suddenly glanced at the hall door.

Zhang Junfeng followed and took a look, the light was too dim, and he didn't see anyone, not to mention that there were no outsiders in the military department's mansion. He asked in a low voice, "What are the plans of the military department?" I'm afraid that the governor is not doing well at the moment, and today's parade may be to cover up, and Liu Qiantai was summoned to go straight to the governor's mansion......"

The hall was eerily quiet for a moment, almost only the breath of a few people.

Mu Changzhou paced slowly at his feet, and his tone was calm as usual: "If you can't get rid of me by borrowing someone else's knife, and the manager is getting weaker, it's too late to make other arrangements, so you can really only take this road." ”

Hu Xiao'er looked at it, her intuition was wrong, she stared at her round eyes, lowered her voice and shouted: "That incompetent person, do you have to think of Xiao as the head manager?!" ”

Zhang Junfeng's thin face was blue: "If the person surnamed Liu is supported by Mrs. Liu to become the chief manager one step ahead, it will be easier to beat us into rebels!" He must not be allowed to enter Liangzhou! ”

Mu Changzhou's face did not change, and he suddenly asked, "How is it in the army?" ”

Hu Xiao'er is rare to be upright: "The generals in the army are all military generals who have been born and died with the military secretary for many years, and they are all promoted by the military secretary, and naturally everyone is loyal to the military department and is ready to give orders!" ”

Mu Changzhou nodded, and his eyes suddenly swept the hall door again.

Zhang Junfeng followed and glanced at the door again, turned his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the military secretary has not recovered from his injuries now, but since the night of the birthday banquet, there has been no turning back." The governor's mansion is changing day by day, and it is already approaching step by step. ”

Hu Xiao'er glared, and looked back and forth: "How is the preparation of the military division?" ”

Mu Changzhou only said: "This little injury is nothing. ”

Zhang Junfeng took a step back, clenched his fists, his face flashed with anxiety, and said low and fast: "Then please give the order of the military department, the confidant military attache is still waiting, at this step, no matter what arrangements the military department has, he will follow it." ”

Hu Xiao'er immediately followed with a fist: "Please give the order of the military secretary!" ”

Mu Changzhou was calm, but his eyes were moving lightly, combing through the existing arrangements one by one, from every city gate and every military camp in Liangzhou, not one of them was ......

Until Chang Feng walked in quickly, sent an urgent report, and whispered: "Military Division, the news from outside the city just sent by the fast horse." After sending it off, he hurriedly retreated.

Mu Changzhou took it in his hand and opened it, handed it to the side of the lamp after reading it, set it on fire, threw it at his feet, and said, "Liu Qiantai is approaching Liangzhou." ”

Hu Xiao'er immediately said angrily: "I'll rush to stop that incompetent dog thief!" ”

"No, let him come." Mu Changzhou sneered, "Let him enter the Governor's Mansion, when he enters the Governor's Mansion, it will be when I enter the Governor's Mansion." ”

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er looked at each other, suddenly reacted, and clasped their fists together.

Mu Changzhou waved his hand lightly: "Wait for my order at any time." ”

The two of them left immediately, turned around and went out, and the footsteps passed by in a series of steps, and then quieted down.

Mu Changzhou stood up, walked out of the hall door, turned his head to look around, and saw a slender figure standing in the shadow on the corridor.

Shunyin covered a soft silk cloak with dark sandalwood embroidery, and had been waiting there for a long time.

He approached step by step, to her right and said, "I heard your footsteps, did you hear them?" ”

Shunyin shook her head, she didn't get too close: "I can't hear clearly, but I guessed probably." ”

Fingers were suddenly grasped, Mu Changzhou grabbed her hand, squeezed his five fingers into her fingers, and held them hard, and his voice seemed to be exerting force: "Don't be afraid, Yin Niang." ”

Shun Yin realized that his fingers had already been blown cold by the wind, but he held them so tightly that he couldn't feel them.

She was surprisingly calm: "I'm not afraid. There was a pause, and his voice floated softly, "It's just a troop raise." ”

Mu Changzhou laughed: "Yes, it's just raising troops." ”

Chapter 82

The afternoon was silent, the vault was gray, covered with thick clouds, and there was no daylight, and the cold air of early winter was scattered around, and the sky seemed to be getting dark early.

The backyard of the Governor's Mansion was almost unoccupied, and it was unusually dull.

The main room in the middle is spacious, and the lights have been lit early, but the bed behind the screen seems to be unilluminated, and it is covered with a layer of gray shadows.

Liu Shi was dressed in a beard and was dignified as usual, sitting in front of the bed, his fingers uncovering the corner of the hanging tent, and frowning at the person on the bed: "I know you want to say that I am too anxious." ”

The chief manager wrapped a white cloth around his forehead, leaned on a thick soft pillow, his face wrinkled badly, like a tattered brown cloth, squeezed out of his forehead, panting roughly, and speaking with great difficulty.

Liu snorted coldly: "But what can I do?" Who made you not angry, Plagued by this disease all day long, If I hadn't been out for you all these years, you would still be the manager? If he took Xiantian, he would be so angry that he would become seriously ill, and he even touched the pill indiscriminately! I've taken care of you so far, what else can I do! ”

She seemed to be angry, shook off the hanging tent in her hand, got up and walked back and forth in front of the bed: "At the beginning, you relied on my Liu family's soldiers and horses to start a family, and you said that you would share the wealth!" But God is going to fight against me, You are not in good health, I have no heirs, and I am not angry with only one nephew! Otherwise, with you and I have been operating for many years, we may not be able to achieve great things in a few years! With such a large territory and such a prosperous and rich territory in the fourteen states of Hexi, why should they bow down to the young children of the Central Plains! But now that I don't make a decision early, I can't even keep the position of the manager, so what's the big business? Do you really want that person surnamed Mu to ride on top of you and me?! Don't forget who he is! ”

There was a rough cough from the tent, and the chief manager seemed to be stimulated by her words, and his mouth was dry.

Liu didn't care about him at all, but was even more angry, his face was distorted, and he couldn't let go of his voice: "He can really bear it, he can do whatever he wants him to do all these years, even let him marry a wife, since when has it been so smooth?" It's a pity that I'm restless, it's not enough to be a military secretary! There is also the daughter of the Feng family from Chang'an, there has been nothing good since she came......" Later, as if talking to herself, "There is no one around to fight, I knew that I shouldn't use Heshesi, they must have known, even if they have reached this point, there is nothing to hesitate about, and they must not hesitate anymore......"

"Mistress." Suddenly, an attendant ran in, cowered outside the door and said, "Liu Dudu is almost here." ”

Liu finally temporarily restrained his temper, but his face had not faded, and he glanced impatiently at his dejected husband in the tent, and said loudly: "Let him come!" ”

The attendant was startled and hurriedly ran to deliver the message......

It was getting late, but there was no light in the main house of the military secretary's mansion.

Shunyin stared at the folded book.

There were a few words on the page, spread out casually on the table, and she sat in the chair, recalling what she had seen and heard in the governor's mansion at that time, and raised her eyes to look out of the door.

When Mu Changzhou took her back to the room last night, he still held her hand tightly, and he didn't let go until he pressed her to the bed to rest. Worried about touching his wound, she deliberately stayed away, and was fished back by his arm, next to him.

"Sleep well, now you need to recharge." He whispered in her ear.

She closed her eyes as she was told, reminding herself to stay calm and steady, sleep fashionably, and still smell the medicine of his wounds.

But when she opened her eyes, her side was already empty, and he almost slept in his clothes, and it didn't take long for him to get up......

There were faint neighing sounds of horses outside, sounding like they were coming from the back door of the house.

Shun Yin was attracted to pay attention, listened attentively, and couldn't hear clearly at all, but he knew that someone was coming, and he didn't stop all day, so he naturally came to see Mu Changzhou.

"Madam," Shengyu walked quickly to the door, his voice raised and somewhat urgent, "Madame, please go to the front hall immediately." ”

Shunyin sensed something and folded the book together.

As soon as she got up, she suddenly remembered something and walked behind the screen: "Wait, I'll change my clothes first." ”

Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly walked to the back of the screen, she quickly unbuttoned her coat, took the soft armor she brought back, and put it on her body.

It was the one that Mu Changzhou wore for her in the barracks at that time, and she brought it back after changing it, and now it is probably time to use it again.

Sheng Yu wanted to go into the house to serve, but she didn't want her to move fast, so after a while, she came out with her belt tied.

Shunyin walked out of the house step by step, and walked outside the backyard, where people could be seen everywhere.

The retinue and archers were all over the corner, all dressed in gray-brown clothes, and their movements were light, as if they had appeared overnight, and they were almost indistinguishable in the gloomy sky.

The entire military office seemed to have entered a state of alert at once.

Without saying a word, she walked quickly through the wooden corridor and into the hall, where she saw a striking figure inside.

Mu Changzhou sat on the top, without a robe, with a plain shirt and a slightly open middle coat, bending his long legs, only exposing his left arm and injured shoulder.

Chang Feng stood aside, and was quickly tying the strips of white cloth that had been bandaged in his shoulder sockets, as if to fix a few more strips.

There were also three or two military attachés in the hall, dressed ordinarily, probably specially dressed, as if they had just listened to his order, and hurried out without saying a word, as if they didn't see anyone else, and they were more hidden and whispered than before.

Shunyin unconsciously held her fingers and looked at him.

Mu Changzhou looked at him and didn't say anything, just glanced at him.

Shunyin's heart tightened slightly, and she approached and stood beside him.

Changfeng had fixed the wound for him, put his middle coat back on, and put on his robe.

Mu Changzhou stood up, immediately walked in with several entourages, approached silently, put on a black armor for him, and put a horizontal knife on his waist and hung a quiver.

Except for the soft sound of the armor scabbard, there was hardly any noise in the hall.

Until Chang Feng led his entourage to retreat, the hall was completely silent.

Shunyin looked at him and finally asked, "It's just today?" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "Yes. ”

Sure enough, he was making all kinds of arrangements this day, until he called her over at this time, and he was in such a posture that she knew that it was about to start......

There were footsteps outside, and Zhang Jun entered the hall, wearing a light black armor, but it seemed that others were not so thin.

Hu Xiao'er came in after him, wearing chain mail as usual, but his hand was already pressed on the knife, his steps were fast, and his face was slightly red because of the hurry.

When the two of them saw Shunyin here, they were not surprised at all, they had long been used to it.

Zhang Junfeng approached and reported directly: "Military Division, Liu Qiantai has entered the city, and he will enter the palace at night." Right now, the Governor's Mansion is busy answering him, and it's time to have no time for him to take care of it. ”

Hu Xiao'er suppressed her voice: "All the horses have been selected at least four or five times, all of them are arranged by the military secretary in the morning, and they are already on standby." ”

Mu Changzhou tightened his forearm with one hand: "The remote states are too far away, and the governor's office is not enough, and only the three prefectures of Hui, Lan and Min are still under the control of the governor's office. ”

Hu Xiao'er hurriedly replied: "Yes." "The voices were more serious than usual.

Mu Changzhou glanced at Zhang Junfeng: "All the soldiers and horses available nearby are on standby, and the foreign enemies on the north and south sides must also be guarded against, and the governor's mansion has already fornicated with foreign enemies." ”

Zhang Junfeng was just about to respond, but he was stunned again: "What? ”

Hu Xiao'er opened her round eyes in surprise, her beard trembled, but the person let go of it at once, and roared in a low voice: "It's still a good thing to do it with Lao Tzu?" ”

Shunyin suddenly said, "I have something to report." ”

Mu Changzhou immediately looked at her.

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er followed and turned their heads to look over.

Shun Yin's gaze swept over the two of them, and at this point, they were closely related, and there was no need to separate, and they looked at Mu Changzhou in a blink of an eye: "The north gate of the Governor's Mansion was very busy before, and outsiders were not allowed to approach, what should be the arrangement, or have been prepared in advance." Every day, elite soldiers would patrol the mansion vertically, and each column would be about one tea time apart, and a column of forty people. These are changes that only occurred during the birthday banquet period, and you must have known the situation of the mansion for so many years, so I don't need to say much about the rest. ”
