Don't steal a man from me

The coachman pulled the reins, let out a long shout, and the cart stopped steadily in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Mo Country. Su Jue wore a white jade crown in her hair, and wore a moon-white shirt trimmed with silver thread, and a white fox fur coat. He got out of the car with Qu Yun's support.

There was a rush of horseshoes behind him. Su Jue turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Li Mo, who was dressed in a black rhinoceros robe, galloping forward. The king on the horse was full of hostility, brave and mighty. Pulling the reins, the steed raised its front hooves, gave a long hiss, clicked its hooves twice, and stopped.

Li Mo got off his horse and quickly walked up to Su Jue. He hugged Su Jue and whispered in his ear, "I miss you very much, very much."

Su Jue frowned. He didn't know what Li Mo's intention was, so he broke free from his restraint, took a few steps back and bowed his hands and said, "Zhaowen has fulfilled his mission, and pays homage to the lord."

Li Mo shook his head, grabbed Su Jue's wrist and said, "I thought you would never come back, and I will never let you leave Mo Country again."

His hands were so strong that Su Jue gasped in pain and said, "Zhaowen is the Prime Minister of the Mo Kingdom, what are you talking about, my lord?"

Qu Yun finally knew why Su Jue's wrist was bruised, he frowned, stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, my son is weak, and you scratched it, and you got five bruises on his wrist again, your son will be in pain." It's been a few days."

After hearing this, Li Mo hurriedly let go of Su Jue's hand, took a few steps back, and as if thinking of something, stepped forward to gently hold Su Jue's hand, and pushed his sleeve up, only to see white jade There were five red fingerprints imprinted on his wrist, his eyes twinkled and he said pitifully, "Does it hurt?"

Su Jue withdrew her hand and bowed, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. A little injury is fine."

Li Mo sighed, and he said in a low voice: "I just miss you so much, I'm impulsive, so don't take it to heart."

Su Jue smiled without saying a word.

Li Mo said: "My lord has prepared a banquet in the Mo Palace specially for Xiangguo to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust, Xiangguo should get in the car."

"Zhaowen thanked the lord." Su Jue saluted.

After reforms and the immigration of Chu people in Mexico, the folk customs of the whole country are no longer arrogant and tough, the social order has become orderly, and the economic level has also been greatly improved. Now walking on the streets of Xianning, there are no more excrement of cattle, sheep and horses. And all kinds of rubbish, and there are no idlers wandering the streets. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the neat and level streets. At this time, soft green ribbons are hanging down. Looking from a distance, it seems like green smoke is shrouded, which makes people feel refreshed. Cool.

At the fixed market, merchants shouted one after another, and the scenes of farmers buying and selling added a lot of vitality to the whole country. Su Jue looked at the results of her reform, smiled with satisfaction, put down the curtains of the car windows, and leaned on the Take a nap on the wall of the car.

The Mo Palace has also undergone a second construction. Above the nine blue stone steps is the main hall of the Mo Palace. It is the place where Duke Mo discusses state affairs with his ministers. The place where the ancestors offered sacrifices to heaven, the side hall on the west side was used to entertain important foreign envoys or Duke Mo to set up banquets. Behind the three palaces was the place where Duke Mo and his harem concubines lived.

The carriage stopped at the chariot and horse square in front of the Black Palace, Su Jue helped Qu Yun get off the carriage, and Li Mo personally led Su Jue to the West Palace.

In the hall, twelve bronze figures held lamps standing upright, illuminating the whole hall like daytime. The yellow earth was covered with thick felts. All the officials had already sat down on both sides in front of the hall. When they saw Mo Gong and Su Jue coming in, they got up one after another and cupped their hands. He saluted and said: "The lord has been around for ten thousand years, and the prime minister has been in charge of the country for ten thousand years."

Li Mo nodded slightly, signaling all the officials to sit down, Su Jue smiled and cupped his hands in return, Li Mo took Su Jue's hand and walked through the long felt, and said to the head of the civil servants who was closest to the throne : "Today is for you alone, you have to have fun."

"Zhaowen thanked the lord." Su Jue cupped his hands and saluted Li Mo.

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Mo helped Su Jue up, smiled, and after placing him on the seat, he sat down on the throne himself.

The maids walked in in bright and bright clothes. A tripod of delicacies was placed in front of the tables of the ministers, and the wine was filled with sweet and mellow wine. For a while, the smell of food wafted in the hall.

Li Mo said loudly: "The dancers are all coming in, how can such delicious food be without singing and dancing?"

After the words were finished, a group of dancers dressed in dark silk and dark clothes came in gracefully. The actors played flute and the dancers danced in harmony with the music. For a while, the singing and dancing in the hall was peaceful, and the officials were laughing, drinking and watching the dance.

Su Jue sat quietly in white clothes, surrounded by a transparent wall that separated him from the hustle and bustle around him, he was drinking wine so gracefully, he didn't eat much food in front of him, the wine in the wine bar But he drank one cup after another. Qu Yun couldn't bear to watch. He stepped forward to take the cup from Su Jue's hand, and said softly, "My lord, don't drink any more."

Su Jue was not annoyed, and let him snatch the wine glass. He propped his head on one hand, his crow-wing eyelashes drooped, covering his eyes like water, his pale cheeks were flushed from drinking, and his thin lips were slightly red. Hook, with a faint smile.

"My lord..." Qu Yun's eyes flickered. Su Jue had been in a bad mood since leaving Chu State. Now that he drank like this, his heart must be feeling bad again.

On the willow shoots in the moonlight, every household in Xianning City lights up lights, adding a lot of prosperity and vitality to this emerging country.All the ministers were drunk and left the Mo Palace with the support of the doormen.

Qu Yun supported Su Jue to walk down the steps slowly, and accidentally stepped on the ground, and the two fell to the ground. Su Jue leaned on Qu Yun's shoulder, with a trembling voice, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, he said: " Yun'er, I miss him so much, Su Jue misses him so much."

"My lord, let's go back to the prime minister's mansion. It's cold at night, and I'm sure I won't be well tomorrow." Qu Yun patted Su Jue's back and said softly.

Su Jue's eyes flickered, he stood up unsteadily, and got into the car with Qu Yunshen.

The moonlight was bright, and behind them, Li Mo, who was dressed in royal attire, stood quietly, most of his body was sunk in the darkness, his eyes were gloomy, and he could not see any emotion.

In April of the second year of King Shang Lie, Zhang Yi, a guest of Chu, brought a thousand pieces of gold and a hundred pairs of white biscuits to Qingguo.

"The envoy of Chu gave such a generous gift, Huiwen is ashamed to accept it." Huiwen stroked his sparse beard and smiled.

"Hey... my lord's words are too modest. My lord is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. My king wants to make good friends with your country, so I need your lord to speak well in front of the king." Zhang Yi held Huiwen's arm affectionately and said with a smile .

"Alas...my king is addicted to drinking and sex all day long, which really chills the old minister..." Hui Wen shook his head and sighed, speaking in the voice of only the two of them.

Zhang Yi pretended to be sympathetic, shook his head with pity, patted Huiwen's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Relax, Xiangguo, in such a big country, the king is incompetent, and my king will not let him be licentious and incompetent." Do not hear or ask."

A glint of light flashed in Huiwen's eyes, and he said with a sad face: "The king of Chu doesn't know something, and now the traitor Jing Mingfeng Qing has a powerful party, and my king ignores the government, and I am about to fall into the hands of the thieves." ah."

"Is there such a thing against the way of heaven?!" Zhang Yi flicked his sleeves with a sullen face, and said in a low voice: "Xiangguo has devoted all his energy to Qingguo, and the Hui family is the veteran hero who founded the country. How can others interfere?! My king will never allow such things that go against the way of heaven to happen! Xiangguo rest assured, the foreign ministers will go back and report the state of the country to my king, and my king will definitely stand on Xiangguo's side. Lord Qing's side!"

Huiwen was overjoyed, and he sent Zhang Yi off with gratitude, and repeatedly asked him not to forget about it. Zhang Yi categorically issued a military order to make Huiwen feel at ease, and drove back to Chu in a cart.

In the country of Mo, a secret letter was delivered to Su Jue. He picked up the mud print on the copper pipe, took out the silk paper and spread it out, and saw that it read: "Lead troops to attack."

Su Jue's eyes flickered. After burning the secret letter in the brazier, he got up and called out, "Yun'er, change into the court clothes. I want to go to the palace."

In the side hall of the Mo Palace, Su Jue was standing in front of the hall in a suit, and Li Mo was sitting by the desk reading the memorial, he said slowly: "Xiangguo means that I, Mo, have the ability to travel east? "

"The second part after the reform and strengthening of the country is to expand the territory to increase the prestige of our Mo country, and winning battles can also boost the morale of our Mo soldiers." Su Jue said.

Li Mo put down the bamboo slips, staring at Su Jue with his bright black eyes.

Su Jue looked back, Bafeng stood motionless in front of the hall.

After a long time, Li Mo smiled and said: "Xiangguo owes me the grace of rebuilding Mo, so I will do whatever Xiangguo says, and I will order Li Ji to lead [-] recruits to go east out of Hangu to attack the land in the west of the river."

"My lord, please lead the troops yourself." Su Jue cupped his hands.

"Oh?" Li Mo raised his eyebrows. He slowly stood up and walked to Su Jue's side, sighed and said, "Xiangguo is weak, so let's leave the marching and fighting to those generals."

"The Mo recruits were trained by me, and this battle is our first battle after Mo Guoqiang. It is very important. I want to lead the troops personally to ensure nothing goes wrong." Su Jue insisted.

"Is it safe?" Li Mo smiled and said: "Xiangguo is really loyal to Mo, I allow you to personally lead the attack."

"Zhaowen thanked the lord." Su Jue cupped his hands and saluted.

Li Mo stretched out his hand to support Su Jue's arm, looked at his watery eyes, softened his gaze, and said softly, "Xiangguo, I am willing to trust you unconditionally, and I am willing to hand over the entire Mo country to you. Can you not leave?" Mo Guo, don't leave my side?"

Su Jue took a few steps back, bowed his hands and saluted, "Zhaowen will surely live up to my lord's trust, and lead fifty thousand soldiers from the Mo Kingdom to triumphantly conquer the land to the west of the river."

Li Mo smiled, turned around, waved his hands and said, "Back off."

"No." Su Jue bowed to Duke Mo again and exited the Mo Palace.

In May of the second year of King Shanglie, Mo Xiangzhaowen led 50 Mo soldiers out of Mohangu Pass and then went straight to Qinghexi. The guards of Hexi County were caught off guard, and half of the Qing army was still dumbfounded when they saw the big flag with the word "ink" painted on it. The Qing army, who had not encountered a war for nearly [-] years, did not believe that the Mo army would take the initiative to attack one day. , the captain of Hexi hastily deployed his troops, and led a loose and procrastinated Qing army to face the well-trained Mexican army like wild wolves. As expected, in the battle of Hexi, the Qing army was defeated, resulting in the loss of five hundred miles of fertile land in Hexi Into the hands of the ink people.

The news of the defeat spread to Quyang, the capital of Qingguo. King Qing was shocked and angry. He issued three edicts in a row. He ordered Jingming to be the general and Feng Qing to go to Hexi to defend the last city in Hexi, Qincheng.

Therefore, Jingming and Fengqing, who had not yet had a peaceful life for a few days, put on their armor again and embarked on the road of guarding Hexi.

Neither of them expected that when they went to the edge of the town and returned to Quyang, Yin and Yang were separated, things changed and people changed.
