Mu Hanzhong

In the barren mountains and ridges, coupled with the torrential rain, Nan Xiaohuan searched the valley for a long time, but only found some small animals like hares. He caught a few and wanted to go to the stream to get some fish up, but Thinking of the people in the cave, he gave up, turned around and rushed back.

In the cave where the fire was extinguished, the man sat there quietly, looking at the bonfire in a daze.When he turned his head when he heard the voice, a trace of loneliness and confusion flashed across those deep dark eyes.

Nan Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for him to look again, Wu Ye had already opened his mouth with a slight smile, and he quickly recovered his usual face, no abnormalities could be seen.

"came back?"

"……Yes."

It is a very ordinary conversation, but it is completely unimaginable to put it between the two people a few months ago.With such a thought flashing through his mind, Nan Xiaohuan sat down beside Wu Ye, took the dagger from his waist, and began to deal with the four unconscious hares.

Bloodletting, skinning, disembowelling... Nan Xiaohuan's movements were very skillful, but in just a short while, the prey in his hands had been cleaned up.

Go outside the cave and wash it with rainwater, then string it with sharp branches, put it on the bracket set up on the campfire, and finally take out the wrapped salt from a pouch with a hook on the waist, and give four pieces of hare meat respectively. Sprinkle it evenly.

Nan Xiaohuan put the salt back into the pouch, and when he finished all this, he just looked up, and saw the person on the opposite side with his head propped up, staring at him without knowing what to think.

Feeling a little embarrassed, he subconsciously sat back a little, lowered his head again, and set his sights on the hare meat roasting on the fire.

"Xiaohuan."

Wu Ye smiled.

"Yes?" Nan Xiaohuan raised his head abruptly, feeling flustered for some reason.

"Hehe." Wu Ye chuckled, stood up from there, walked to Nan Xiaohuan, sat down again, and moved his gaze to the support, "I'll help you, half of each person."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and flipped the hare meat on the stand.

Open fire grilling is a meticulous job, especially turning it over. If it is done well, the meat will be golden on the outside and tender on the inside.Wu Ye used to have nothing to do, so he would ask Xie Tian to go on a field trip, and later, he specially learned some barbecue skills for his own tongue.After such a long time of practicing again, I don't see the slightest rustiness.

Nan Xiaohuan stared blankly at Wu Ye's skillful movements, swallowed the words he was about to utter, and began to turn over the two strings that Wu Ye gave him.

There was no words between the two of them, and they each concentrated on serving the food that will be served later, and the original tranquility was restored in the cave.

It was raining heavily outside the cave, and the bonfire inside the cave was warm and fragrant. Although the people around him were silent, the sound of breathing that did not belong to him came to Wu Ye's ears, which made Wu Ye feel a lot at ease.All kinds of thoughts that came up inexplicably earlier were also thrown into the depths of his memory after he sneered, and he didn't think about them anymore.

Bursts of fragrance came out, and the rabbit meat was golden.Smelling the aroma, Wu Ye took the meat skewers off the stand and handed them to Mu Yunxiao who had just walked in from the cave: "Master, try it, Xiaohuan's cooking skills are pretty good."

Mu Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, Ren Anwu took off his soaked coat behind him, and hung it on the wooden rack beside him, then sat down on the stone that had been cleaned earlier, took it slowly, He handed it to An Wu who was beside him.

An Wu took out a dagger, cut off a small piece of meat, and handed it over naturally. Mu Yunxiao glued it up with his fingers, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and commented: "Barely enough to eat."

Expecting such an evaluation a long time ago, Wu Ye smiled and glanced at Mu Yunxiao, and this time directly handed another string to An Wu.Anyway, he could tell that as long as there was An Wu, Mu Yunxiao could do nothing without doing anything.

And that man did exactly as he expected, except that the first piece of meat was directly delivered to his mouth, the rest was actually leaned in An Wu's arms and let the man feed him piece by piece.

After Nan Xiaohuan's initial shock passed, he lowered his head knowingly and obediently ate.The wild rabbit was not big, and after removing the head, there was not much left. After eating in twos and threes, they rested for a while. Where the horses were hitched earlier.

The rain stopped completely, the air facing us was fresh and humid, and the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, revealing the blue sky.The sun above has been deflected to the west, and opposite it is a huge rainbow.The light seven colors float faintly on the dark blue background, against the bright but not hot sunlight, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

Wu Ye brought the horse to Mu Yunxiao's side and walked side by side with him.The four of them walked slowly on the horse, where the horse's hooves passed, there were few pedestrians, the only two or three were also forced to take shelter from the rain not long ago, and now continue on their way.

Wu Ye saw that Mu Yunxiao's expression was much better than before, and then he said, "Master, I have something to ask for your help."

Mu Yunxiao glanced at him: "What can't the people under you do?"

Wu Ye chuckled: "It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it would take time and effort to send them to investigate. It would be faster to ask for it directly from you, Master."

When he said this, Mu Yunxiao thought for a while, and then he knew what he wanted: "That woman Jiang Yucheng, you can't move yet."

"I know." Wu Ye nodded, of course he understands that the current empress relies on Poison Valley, and she holds three points of power in the court.If he wanted to kill an enemy with blood, it would be very easy to just take her life, but once she died, the various intricate relationships involved would be enough for the emperor to have a headache.Not to mention, the people in Poison Valley will definitely not let it go... Mu Yunxiao has faced the same choice for all these as early as ten years ago.

At that time, his choice was to abandon the surname Sihuang, leave the imperial court, and enter the rivers and lakes...

"Master, just tell me what happened that year and what you found, master."

The person on the horse looked at Wu Ye silently for a while, then suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. It was six points similar to Wu Ye, with the same handsome face. Because of this smile, even the rainbow in the sky lost its brilliance: "It seems that this The three-year career as the palace lord has tempered your character a lot."

"Thank you for your compliment, master." Wu Ye put on a show and cupped his hands on the horse's back, meeting Mu Yunxiao's gaze with raised eyebrows and a smile.

"...you wait for a few days, and I will let you meet someone. If you have any doubts then, just ask him." Mu Yunxiao looked at him silently for a while, sighed, and returned.

With Mu Yunxiao's promise, Wu Ye settled down and waited.Every day I go to visit the government on time, and when I come back, I drink tea and chat with the officials who come to the door. Occasionally, I go out to drink a little wine and listen to a little song with a few good friends. On the surface, Wu Ye's life is not good. It can be regarded as relaxed and leisurely, except for more contact with the officials of the court and China, it is not much different from being in Qianye Palace.During this period, Quan Zixiao also came to his house to look for him once. The two shared lunch, danced with knives and guns in the backyard, and competed with each other. The strangers I saw disappeared without a trace without knowing it.

Rumors and gossips are never lacking in the public. Wu Ye has been back to Beijing for more than half a month, and his name has gradually appeared more and more.The people in the capital are secretly discussing that the two princes who have just returned to the capital, one shuts the door to refuse guests, the other opens the door of the palace to make friends with the officials of the court... and above the court, King Heshuo and King Wujin, Also around the corner...

On July [-]th, Si Huanghanlian came to visit and stayed in Huanye Palace for half an hour before leaving.

Qingyan walked in from the outside, saw Wu Ye's thoughtful look, rolled her eyes, walked forward, put the soup in her hand on the table, and asked softly: "My lord, what did King Wu Jin say?" What are you here for?"

Wu Ye came back to his senses, and took a look at Qingyan: "He invited me to go hunting in Yanshan paddock tomorrow."

"You agreed?"

Wu Ye nodded, picked up the soup on the table and drank it: "Third brother, eldest brother, and some officials' children are also going. Although I don't know what his plan is, just be careful. Qingyan, go down and prepare, tomorrow You three, walk with me."

Finally, I stuffed a piece of snack, but it was half a beat too late, the bitter taste of the medicine spread in my mouth, Wu Ye frowned, with a painful expression.

And above the court, the two forces of King Heshuo and King Jinwu are also... on the verge of moving...

On July [-]th, Si Huanghanlian came to visit and stayed in Huanye Palace for half an hour before leaving.

Qing Yan walked in from the outside, and seeing Wu Ye's thoughtful look, she rolled her eyes, stepped forward, put the soup in her hand on the table, and asked softly, "My lord, where did King Wu of Jin come from?" For what?"

Wu Ye came back to his senses, and took a look at Qingyan: "He invited me to go hunting in Yanshan paddock tomorrow."

"You agreed?"

Wu Ye nodded, picked up the soup on the table and drank it: "Third brother, eldest brother, and some officials' children are also going. Although I don't know what his plan is, just be careful. Qingyan, go down and prepare, tomorrow You three, walk with me."

Finally, I stuffed a piece of snack, but it was half a beat too late, the bitter taste of the medicine spread in my mouth, Wu Ye frowned, with a painful expression.

Here, in Xuanzhu Palace's study room, the two sat facing each other.

The man in the moon-white gown looked at the file on the table and said, "Here is the evidence and testimony that I obtained from my secret investigation in the past half a month. The case of the Zuo family was really framed by someone. The emperor only needs to order Re-investigate thoroughly, and the secrets in it should be revealed."

Si Huang Yunyi pondered for a while, but he didn't respond to Kai Kai. His brows were tightly frowned on his stern face, obviously he was worried.After returning to Beijing for so long, his beloved younger brother finally stopped avoiding him and went directly to the palace to see him. He was naturally happy, but at the same time he also knew that Mu Yunxiao would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

However, he did not expect that it was for this matter.

Not long after he came to the throne that year, a winter hunt, he accidentally made a surprise attack and almost died under the assassin's poisonous arrow.He was furious, and took advantage of this matter to eradicate many unsatisfactory ministers and some old rotten people who occupied important positions. Suddenly, the court was panicked, the city was full of storms, and many famous families fell off their horses one after another. The Zuo family was the biggest force that fell.

Seeing that Si Huang Yunyi didn't speak, Mu Yunxiao knew what he was worried about, so he gritted his teeth, took out a gold medal from his bosom, and put it on the case file he brought into the palace.

As soon as the gold medal appeared, Si Huang Yunyi's body shook: "Fifth Brother, are you serious?!"

In the low and hoarse voice that was always moody and angry, the shock was clear and clear.

Mu Yunxiao lowered his eyes, fixed his eyes on the finely carved gold medal with a Chinese character "Yi" engraved in the middle, and said in a low voice: "When the emperor gave this token to my younger brother, my younger brother thought that I would never take it out. " He paused, blinked his long eyelashes, and continued, "But the Zuo family has been loyal for generations, and they did their best to help the emperor's brother ascend the throne, and the ministers...whether public or private, they don't want to see the Zuo family continue. Wearing the hat of a traitor...so be bold and ask Brother Huang to fulfill his promise."

He never asked for help, but for that person, he bowed his head.

Si Huang Yunyi's initial shock passed, and he quickly calmed down.He got up from the chair, walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was gloomy.

The lingering green smoke drifted in the quiet imperial study room, and the sound of footsteps echoed back and forth, implying the master's mood. After a long time, Si Huang Yunyi finally stopped in front of Mu Yunxiao, and his eyes flicked to the study room. A huge map of Yunzhou hangs on the side wall.The map is centered on Yinguo, spreading out in all directions. To the north of Yongchang Pass in Yinguo, there is a narrow and long area, which is outlined by a red ink brush, which is instantly eye-catching.

His eyes focused on the red area, as if he wanted to see the distant border through the paper.

"Fifth brother...it's not impossible for me to promise you."

Si Huang Yunyi said in a low voice.

"only……"

Mu Yunxiao raised his head, and the two looked at each other again.

"It's just that I want you...to put on the battle robe for Yin Country again!"
