In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

After all, they didn't understand Mu Jinan's temperament and methods.

Yuan Qinghe then looked at Mu Jinan seriously. He respected Xie Chibei. It was the King of Jin who had indeed destroyed the four kingdoms and his contributions were incalculable.

Mu Jinan also made numerous contributions, but when Xie Chi left for the north, she won over the hearts of the people, and his protective mood suddenly spread.

Yuan Qinghe began to wake up. Was this the case of discussing what he heard and plotting what he saw? Mu Jinan drew inferences from one instance and tested him with the same method he used against his enemies?

He immediately put down his wine glass, and his sleepy expression as he watched the show turned into one of fear and trepidation. Since Xie Chibei was not around, Mu Jinan's words were military orders.

It would be fine if Yuan Qinghe only wanted to teach, but he also had some ambitions of a scholar-official to govern the country and wanted to be entrusted with important tasks.

Mu Jinan was a cautious and thoughtful person. She had definitely considered using Lu Shengji. She already had an idea in her mind about what each person should do today. It was just a matter of "respecting the wise and humble".

He was the prime minister before the Great Sheng Dynasty. In the eyes of the public, he had a certain degree of dominance, and his behavior would affect some people who had no judgment.

Everyone has their own aspirations. If you don’t want to work together, just leave.

Yuan Qinghe is here to seek refuge, not to be your master, so don't lose your sense of proportion.

He sat up straight with his back slightly bent: "I have been studying for a long time, and I am not very knowledgeable. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will go to meet the King of Xiang."

Mu Jinan then slowly smiled: "Thank you, Prime Minister Yuan."

There are many talented people in Dasheng. She calls Yuan Qinghe Prime Minister out of respect for his integrity and loyalty. Even without Yuan Qinghe, she still has a way to deal with King Xiang.

When everyone saw Yuan Qinghe lower his head, they put down the wine glasses that were against their lips and just ate the food quietly.

They followed Mu Jin'an to occupy Youzhou, and then there were 200,000 troops in Youzhou and the four states of the Mu family.

Rather than saying that they complement each other and help Mu Jinan, it is better to say that Mu Jinan and the Shiyan Army are their veritable shields. If they succeed in the future, their official positions will not be low.

Mu Jinan herself is a strategist and a general. She has never sat back and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor. Was there any battle in which she did not kill the enemy herself? Was there any law or regulation that she did not put her mind to?

These days she has been constantly improving tax orders, supervising county officials, investigating civil grievances, and going to the training ground to train every day. She will not waste her abilities.

After all, today was a banquet, so Mu Jinan arranged dance and music, but it was men dancing with swords. She drank for a while and then left, allowing everyone to eat and drink to their heart's content.

As soon as Mu Jinan walked out of the yard, Alinchu and Jinghong followed him out.

Mu Jinan told Jinghong: "Jinghong, how did Jing Guian pass through the Youzhou city gate to Quhe? This is a serious matter. If you find any clues, report it immediately."

Jing Hong has been keeping a close eye on the city gate lately, but there is still no clue. He said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Jinghong left and the two were suddenly blocked by a wall.

Mu Jinan looked up and saw that it was Xuan He. He was as tall as a giant and there was no sunlight in front of his eyes.

Xuan Heye's thick eyebrows curved, and he looked very aggrieved. He imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, please invite them to a banquet. Can't I go to eat?"

Mu Jinan was stunned. Xuan Heye looked mighty, but his words were as straightforward as a child. She couldn't judge whether he was Li Jie's man, an enemy or a friend, or whether he had surrendered or not. Today's discussion of Youzhou affairs must not be let outsiders know.

Xuan Heye had been favored by Li Jie since he was a child. He could attend every banquet of Li Jie. Today, Mu Jinan did not invite him, which clearly showed that he regarded him as a foreign enemy.

This was Xuan Heye's inner thought. His thinking was growing in a straight line just like his height.

He was the one who believed in Mu Jinan the most among the Warriors. He always proclaimed that Mu Jinan was a hero. The Warriors who were disbanded and reorganized gradually lost their resentment after hearing his praise.

Xuan Heye made an indelible contribution in the attack on the city gate of Youzhou.

Mu Jinan would not let him down in this matter: “For you and Alinchu, the three of us will have a separate banquet.”

Xuan Heye is a child who has no mother and was abandoned by his father. He doesn't like the feeling of being alone. Whether he is with Li Jie or Mu Jinan, he hopes that they will not exclude him.

He had no idea about making achievements, he just rushed forward to do whatever his master asked him to do.

Xuan Heye scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "Thank you, Your Highness. If you hate King Xiang, I will help you kill him."

"If he wants to blame someone, he should blame the Qixuan tribe. The Emperor of Central Plains will not attack the Qixuan tribe. If they want you to hand over someone, you should hand me over."

Mu Jinan couldn't believe that this was just something he said casually. Are there really such frank and simple people in this world? Of course there are, but she just happened to meet few of them!

Mu Jinan looked back in the direction of the banquet. The nameless flowers in full bloom were intoxicated in the spring sun. It was clearly a scene of riotous beauty, but she felt sad and lonely in her heart.

Alinchu thought Mu Jinan was just talking casually, so she and Mu Jinan went to another courtyard, and sure enough, there was a table full of dishes, all of which were Xuan Heye's favorites, and there was also mare's milk wine.

The three of them sat around, and Xuan Heye was easily satisfied and happy. He saw that Mu Jinan had prepared a separate table of food for him, and felt that Mu Jinan treated him as a member of the tribe.

Xuan Heye first tore off the roasted whole lamb leg, then picked up the big bowl and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Xuan Heye is willing to go through fire and water for you. You drink tea and I will drink wine."

Mu Jinan saved Xuan Heye, and he said this to repay his kindness.

Mu Jinan looked at his careless appearance, but he was actually quite thoughtful. She smiled and asked, "Are you going to get married?"

Xuan Heye shook his head: "I'm too tall, they all say I'm a monster, and I don't have a wife."

"Ding-ling..." Mu Jinan looked up at the eaves and saw that there were no wind chimes hanging in the courtyard where guests were being entertained.

Another "Ding-ling" sound was heard. Mu Jinan looked to the side following the sound of the bell. Xuan Hehe was drinking from a large bowl with a part of his wrist exposed. He was wearing a string of bells, a small iron sword and a snowflake-shaped gadget.

Mu Jinan's stunned pupils became darker. This was exactly the same as her sword bell. How could he make such a sword bell?

Mu Jinan poured a bowl of wine for Xuan Heye and asked casually, "Xuan Heye, this sword bell is beautiful. Where did you get it?"

Xuan Heye's smiling face suddenly turned sad, and he shook his sword bell: "My mother died of hemorrhage during childbirth due to a heavy pregnancy. My clan members regarded me as an ominous sign, so my father threw me into the mountains. King Qi saved me, and when my father found out, he put a sword bell on me, saying that it could suppress evil spirits and was a cursed object."

A Linchu had never seen such a stupid person, so she interjected, "People are cursing you, and you're still wearing it?"

Xuan Heye smiled naively: "My father gave it to me. He never gave me anything else."

Mu Jinan asked him, "Who are your father and mother? Where is your father?"

Xuan Heye pursed his lips and said, "My father is dead, and my mother is the daughter of the maid of Princess Fuyao of Tujiang Kingdom."

Mu Jinan listened to these two words and thought: "Fuyao? Sister Xu Ke is Xu Fuyao, the Empress of Emperor Ming, so she must not be the same person. The tombstone outside Xuanzhou City was engraved with the words Fuyao and Concubine Qiong."
