Duanmulan has nine sons, of which seven are adults, and Duanmuyu is the sixth, now twenty-four years old. In terms of eldest and youngest, there are five brothers in front of him; in terms of birth, his biological mother is a second-class virtuous concubine, and her value is not comparable to that of the queen and concubine, but she is the son of a real concubine. The eldest prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince born to the queen and the second prince born to Mu Guifei are all higher than Duanmuyu in the succession to the throne. However, three years ago, he was established by Duanmu Lan as the prince and the superintendent of the country. Such a major event that does not conform to the etiquette and law, as close as the uncles and brothers of the clan, and as far as the civil and military officials of the court, but almost no one opposes it.

It's just because Duanmu Yu is too outstanding.

Regardless of the description of the peerless, his literary style, temperament, wisdom roots, and martial arts are unmatched among the princes and even the entire Turkic country. Although he has been shining since he was a child, he has won the favor of the saint but he is not arrogant, he is respectful and close to him, he is not arrogant, he is not slow, he is not impatient, he is always quiet and introverted, and he is not discouraged when he is defeated.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, the month of Ding Si, the day of Bingxu; it is advisable to form alliances and sacrifices, and avoid entry; the blessing direction is to the south, and it is forbidden to go north.

Duanmu Yu paced back and forth in the courtyard, repeatedly thinking about today's hexagram calendar. Suddenly stopped, and asked behind him, "Mu Yu, where is Mr. Zhu?"

Yesterday, Zhu Xiaochen had arrived at the agreed place to meet them, and it was agreed, so he started today to end Mei Siyuan's life.

"Young master, Mr. Zhu has already gone out at four o'clock, I want to arrive at the Yanzheng Mansion, you just wait for the good news!" In Mu Yu's view, Zhu Xiaochen's killing of Mei Si is sure of success.

As soon as Mu Huan's words were finished, there was a sound of swift footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, and it was Duanmu Rong who walked in.

"Young master, my subordinates have two things to report. Duanmu Rong said as he stood against the courtyard wall.

Duanmu Yu looked at Duanmu Jing's serious appearance, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled: "Look at your expression, it's probably a bad thing." It's okay, just listen to it. ”

"Yes, young master. Our men found out two pieces of information, both of which were extremely unfavorable to our trip. First, Mei Siyuan's son Mei Yuanchen, who is strong in martial arts, actually returned to the house in the middle of the night last night, and he came with more than a dozen old and young Taoist priests, and it seems that his martial arts are not weak. Second, Emperor Dahua sent a team of 50 guards to Jinzhou, and will be stationed in the Yanyun Political Minister's Mansion to take on the responsibility of Mei Siyuan's guard. As soon as we got the news, our men rushed here, and arrived only a day before the Praetorian Guards. Duanmu Rong bowed slightly and reported.

"This Xia Yuhua is not too slow to strain, and it doesn't seem to be as unbearable as the rumors say. Although Duanmu Yu was a little surprised, the expression on his face was always indifferent, and he said with a smile, "If I had a minister like Mei Siyuan, I would have guarded him tightly." ”

"Alas, it's a wrong move!" Duanmu Yu smiled helplessly, wrote a hexagram calendar in his hand, and said clearly, "Find Mr. Zhu and ask him to come back." Now that it has come to this, we can no longer force it. He felt remorse in his heart at the moment, "How good it was to kill him at the beginning!"

Mu Wei didn't understand, but he didn't ask much, answered "yes", and walked out quickly.

"Duanmu Jing, do you believe in fate?" Duanmu Yu walked towards Duanmu Jing and asked with a straight face.

"I don't believe in fortune, I only believe in the young master!" Duanmu Jing shook his head and replied firmly.

"I believe it. Duanmu Yu said in a clear voice.

The ninth day of March is the birthday of Ji Yao Niangniang, and on this day, believers in Taoism will light firecrackers to celebrate. The firecrackers in the Yanyun Governor's Mansion rang for a long, long time, not only to celebrate Niangniang's birthday, but also to celebrate Mei Yuanchen's return.

"Ji Yao Niangniang's blessing! Bless the Mei family's master and servants, old and young, bless the Dahua four realms with smooth wind and rain, and the people live happily! Bless my son Yuanchen away from illness and everything goes smoothly!" Bailisi knelt in front of the incense ding and prayed softly. He planted the incense and bowed respectfully three times.

"It's time for breakfast!" Yun Po walked into the hall and shouted to the crowd. I saw a smile on her face, obviously happy to the bottom of her heart. She is really happy today, not only did the little boy come back after more than a year of absence, but also brought a group of Taoist masters, so that her tense heart could finally be at ease. In the past few months, more than 20 guards in the mansion have been killed and wounded, and even the guards of the Mei Mansion have also been injured. A month ago, when Mei Siyuan returned to the Yamen of Jinzhou Political Secretary from the Fuzhou Salt Farm, he was stabbed by masked gangsters, and Yunhu was cut with a long wound on his back to protect Mei Siyuan, and he could only get out of bed and walk around a few days ago. And the cloud kite has not dared to sleep for more than a year, and has already become ill from hard work, and now it is barely holding on. Yun Po learned from Yun Kite yesterday that this practitioner has extraordinary martial arts, and three of them are not under Yun Kite, which really makes Yun Po overjoyed. "The family of Meifu can finally live in peace! The burden on the shoulders of the old man and the two babies is much lighter. Before it was dawn, she went down to the room and went to cook for more than 100 people.

Fu Cheng had something to do, and was going to the side hall where the main family was eating, and happened to meet Mei Yuanchen. Mei Yuanchen saw at a glance the hideous and terrifying scar on his face and the hollow and crooked left eye socket.

"Second Uncle Fu, your eyes, your face, how did you suffer this injury?" Mei Yuanchen asked in a trembling voice, tears rolling in his eyes.

When Fu Zhi saw Mei Yuanchen, he was overjoyed for a while, and his laughter and scars were even more terrifying. Holding Mei Yuanchen's shoulder, he laughed and said, "Childe, you're really back! That's the best! My injury, nothing, it's over!" Yu didn't want to say more about his own injury, but said instead, "Since Qingxi to this Anxian, how many great things has the master done, how many lives have he lived? Everyone knows that he is the number one capable minister in the dynasty, but there are still so many people who want to put him to death." Isn't it ridiculous to say that my Fu family has received the kindness of the master, and I can't repay it in this life, even if I die for the master, I have no regrets, not to mention this little injury. ”

Mei Yuanchen looked at Fu Cheng's wounds, listening to his understated words, he was already extremely angry, gritted his teeth, and roared in a low voice: "These damn villains!"

Seeing Mei Yuanchen's anger that he had never seen before, Fu Fu felt a palpitation in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I am married to Bai Ze, and our child will be born this month, do you know?"

Mei Yuanchen came back to his senses and said with a forced smile: "My mother wrote to tell me, but I didn't know that I was born this month. Second Uncle Fu, congratulations on becoming a father!"

"Haha......"Fu Punishment succeeded in his plan, laughed, and suddenly remembered that he had something to tell Mei Siyuan, his face slumped, and he scolded himself, "I forgot to report to the Wind Dart Bureau!"

Mei Yuanchen heard that it was the Wind Dart Bureau, and thought to himself that the dart team he met at the Welcome Inn the day before yesterday was the Dart Team of the Wind Dart Bureau, could it be that this is the same group of people?

Fu Xuan didn't think that Mei Yuanchen would ask about it, but he didn't hesitate, and replied: "In the main hall of the right side hall, go a hundred steps to the end of the corridor and turn right." If you want to go and see, you won't get in the way, and the master will pass in a while. ”
