Book 21: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold

"Senior Sister Tsing Yi, this world is very lively! There are a lot of interesting things, Senior Sister Tsing Yi, what do you see that is? Sugar gourd!"

Dongtu.

In Aofeng City, Mu Yao and Luo Qingyi both covered their faces and walked lightly on the street. Mu Yao opened a pair of curious eyes, looking left and right, jumping around Luo Qingyi's side, as long as Mu Yao saw something new, he would exclaim, which immediately attracted the eyes of passers-by.

If it weren't for Luo Qingyi pressing on the side, Mu Yao would be like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, and he couldn't hold it.

"Mu Yao, have you forgotten your master's instructions?"

Seeing Mu Yao walking and about to run to the stall on the side of the road, Luo Qingyi reached out and pressed her down, with a slight displeasure in his tone.

In the red dust of the world, it is very noisy, but the various states of the world can make you nostalgic.

"I know, Senior Sister Tsing Yi. ”

Mu Yao saw that Luo Qingyi was a little angry, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and stood quietly beside Luo Qingyi.

It's just that there is a mist in her eyes, and I feel pity.

"You. The master handed you over to me, if I don't bind you well, how can I explain to the master when I go back!"

Luo Qingyi's tone softened, she stretched out her right hand and stroked Mu Yao's hair, with a hint of doting in her eyes. "When we get to Middle-earth, I'll promise you a good time. ”

Seeing Mu Yao's dejected appearance, Luo Qingyi's heart was also a little unbearable. It is very rare for them to step into the world once, and Luo Qingyi doesn't want to leave too many regrets in Mu Yao's heart.

This mess of flowers is getting more and more charming!

"Senior Sister Tsing Yi, are you telling the truth?"

Mu Yao stretched out his hands, pulled Luo Qingyi's shirt tightly, and said happily. Her eyes were curved into a nice arc. "Senior Sister Tsing Yi, then let's hurry up. ”

As soon as Mu Yao's words fell, he took Luo Qingyi's hand and quickened the pace of his steps.

"You. ”

Luo Qingyi's eyes were also a little crooked, she shook her head helplessly, and let Mu Yao take her hand and walk on the street.

Two white shirts, fluttering and swinging, shuttled through the streets, in the crowd.

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold. ”

Outside the gate of Aofeng City, Luo Qingyi and Mu Yao stopped and looked at it. And beside them, a group of ordinary people and some chivalrous people gathered, who were talking to each other and whispering.

Not far from the city gate, Dongtu was gathering troops, the war drums were beating, and the armor of the whole body was shining a little cold under the sunlight. On top of those faces, there is a touch of death.

Battle flags flutter in the wind and hunt sounds. With weapons at their waists in their hands, they stood proudly to meet the baptism of blood and fire.

"Once the strong man is gone, he will never return!"

Luo Qingyi shook his head, left a sigh, and pulled Mu Yao, who was a little frightened, and walked to the stable not far from the city gate. They needed to buy two horses and get to Middle-earth as soon as possible.

War is very ruthless and unjust, it is a double-edged sword in the hands of the king, which can not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt himself.

Night.

The Royal Court of Middle-earth.

In the Wannian Palace of Nuoda, where the civil and military officials stood in the court, a dining table made of golden silk nan wood had been set up at this time, and the dining table was full of wine and delicacies.

It's just that the palace is spacious, but the figure is depressed, and there are only a few people.

"Nephew, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, but this king pays too little attention to you, which is also my dereliction of duty as an elder, if my nephew wants to beat and scold, this king will never complain. ”

In front of the dining table, Tu Tiantong's fat figure sat on a wooden chair, he held his wine glass high, and his expression was very guilty.

"Over the years, I have lived a very leisurely life. Just letting the regent remember it in my heart made me a little flattered. ”

Tu Mo put his hands between his legs and looked at the regent with a look as usual. The wine and delicacies on the table are full of color, flavor and flavor, but Tu Mo is tasteless.

When you sing about wine, life is geometric. If it's an old friend, why not drink a thousand cups! If it's a boring person, it's hard to swallow even a shallow sip.

Xingchenzi and Chen Youcai hung their hands and stood on both sides of Tu Mo, their eyes rolling, and a hint of mockery fell on the regent. It's just that this mockery is hard for people to detect.

Behind the Regent, there stood just an old man who was a little sluggish. The old man was dressed in gray and stood quietly with his eyes closed.

Tu Mo glanced at the old man in the twilight, for a master, one person was enough. It's only for a person in royal power that he can feel at ease by holding thousands of troops and horses.

Tu Mo looked at Tu Tiantong with ulterior motives, but his face was full of smiles, but his eyes had already narrowed into a slit.

"Nephew, where are you talking about this! We are already a family, if it weren't for this red dust and mundane things, Brother Wang and I would have gone to Kunlun Ruins early to pick you up and go back to Zhongzhou. Why do you have to let you live abroad for so many years and suffer now, which makes this king even more unbearable. ”

Tu Tian drank all the wine in the cup, he put the wine glass on the table, but he quickly got up, reached out and picked up the chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of delicious tender meat in Tu Mo's bowl. Care.

Seeing this, a maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly raised her hand to hold the wine jug, and after filling Tu Tiantong's wine glass with fine wine, she stepped aside.

"We must keep his last wishes. It's just that I don't know how the regent can make a move on Admiral Tiger Python?"

Tu Mo sat on the wooden chair, never raised his hand, and looked at Tu Tiantong with a smile on the corner of his mouth. For this matter, Tu Mo needs an explanation, a statement for hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters in Zhongzhou.

Maybe it's the same as what Tu Mo thought in his heart.

"The general has done his best for Zhongzhou, and he does not dare to say that he has made great achievements, but he is also the pillar of the three armies of Zhongzhou. In this matter, I blame the king for his negligence, and the enemy who hid beside me secretly made a plan to ambush the general. ”

Tu Tiantong was a little disgusted. "After this incident, I wanted to visit the general, but the royal court was surrounded by sons, but I couldn't get out. It's just that the person who secretly gave advice has been sent to the military headquarters, waiting for the general's fate. ”

"Alas. The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!"

Tu Tiantong leaned back against the wooden chair, and there was a little loneliness in his expression.

"I wonder which side of the person who ambushed the general?"

Tu Mo asked, his fingertips flicking lightly on his legs.

"Northern Desert!"

Tu Tiantong said, but there was a touch of hatred in his small eyes. "What a wolf ambition!"

"Sure enough. ”

This Northern Desert wants to profit in Central Continent and use Central Continent to contain the Southern Wilderness. As everyone knows, this Central Continent has already become the target of public criticism, and they all want to get a piece of the pie in Central Continent, and they can't let the Southern Wilderness or the Northern Desert monopolize the leader.

This regent is now pointing the finger at the Northern Desert, making the three armies of Central Continent hostile to the Northern Desert, hating to eat its flesh and sucking its blood!

It's not easy to just draw this person in vain. How should he do it, or expose the Northern Desert, he did it on purpose, just to hold the regent.

Knowing that it is a shirk, knowing that it is an excuse, but he can only let the regent borrow a knife to kill people. No one is going to break it, just because the time has not come.

"The matter of the general started because of the Northern Desert, but I don't know how the regent will deal with this matter?"

Tu Mo stretched out his right hand, holding a somewhat small wine glass in his fingertips, placing it in front of him, his fingertips fluctuating, playing with the wine glass in his hand. It's just the smile on Tu Mo's face, but it doesn't diminish in the slightest.

"Now that my nephew has returned to Middle-earth, the military power will naturally fall into my nephew's hands. According to the plan of this king, the nephew has three armies in hand, and he must send troops to attack the northern desert and give the general an explanation! The general's family has thrown their heads for Zhongzhou for generations, spilled their blood, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats. It was the general's two sons, both of whom died on the battlefield. If we don't act, won't it chill the general's heart? ”

The fat on Tu Tiantong's face trembled, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to be substantial.

"This matter will be discussed again when the general returns. ”

Now that Central Continent is facing the southern famine, if it sends troops to the northern desert again, it is undoubtedly just talking on paper and destroying itself. If you don't send troops to the Northern Desert, the three armies of Central Continent will not be able to explain, and if the military heart is lost, then Central Continent will lose its arrogance in the world.

This military heart really can't be lost!

This regent and the people behind him are really calculating! Murder is secondary, and whether it is important or not is the heart.

"Along the way, I was a little tired and tired, so I took the first step. ”

After Tu Mo drank the wine in the cup, he stood up and said to the regent. Although this dinner was boring, it was also learned that the regent and the people behind him were pressing step by step, and they would not let Tu Mo sit beside them.

Tiger, just one head is enough.

"It's the king's lack of consideration. Then the nephew will go and rest first. After a few days, after the king has dealt with some things, he will talk to his nephew again, so as to complain about the pain of lovesickness for many years!"

The regent got up, moved his fat body, and after sending Tu Mo and the others to the door of the Wannian Palace, he watched Tu Mo and his party leave.

"Why don't you kill this Tu Mo?"

The gray-clothed old man standing behind Tu Tiantong opened his eyes and said slowly.

"The forces standing behind this Tu Mo are staggered and complicated, and they can't be killed!"

The regent turned around and walked towards the table, but in his eyes, there was a cruel abnormality. If this Tu Mo doesn't die, he won't be able to live in peace for a day.

The Hall of Escape. This is the sleeping palace specially prepared by the former kings of Zhongzhou for Tu Mo. The layout of the palace is simple and intended to be free.

"Young master. How do we do that?"

In the hall, Chen Youcai stood beside Tu Mo, dressed like a Taoist priest, but he was very unaccustomed to the face of the regent. "Do you want to kill the regent directly? This is really a cancer in Middle-earth. ”

After Chen Youcai finished speaking, he raised his hand and scratched his neck.

"Lie. If we kill the Regent, we won't survive tomorrow. ”

Xingchenzi said on the side, he is a strategist, and he knows the twists and turns in his heart.

"So what? Do you want me to divinate a hexagram and speculate on good fortune and misfortune?"

Chen Youcai is a descendant of General Meng Tian, with a straightforward temperament and not so many flowery intestines.

"Xingchenzi, according to your opinion, how to make the layout of this matter. ”

Tu Mo stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the Zhongzhou Royal Court under the moon. As soon as Tu Mo spoke, Xingchenzi and Chen Youcai quieted down, hanging their hands and standing beside Tu Mo.

And so on. Drag. Slow. ”

Xingchenzi said with a dewful eye, he bent down, and said three words.
