lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!

"I don't even know, how can the general ruler of the Youjun come to Jiyang if he is free and pretend to be someone else?"

He Yan thought, was discovered? Listening to this tone, it seems that it was not just discovered.

Looking at Xiao Jue again, there was no surprise when he heard that, he just smiled lazily, and said indifferently: "This is how your Royal Highness treats the life-saver of the little majesty, and the teacher asks sin?"

"They are guilty," Mu Hongjin said coldly: "You are not innocent. The purpose of coming to my Jiyang can never be to see if the temple is doing well."

"It seems that your Highness has been pretty good," Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, "It's just other people in Jiyang City, not necessarily."

Mu Hongjin sat on a high seat, stared at Xiao Jue for a while, then suddenly smiled. With this smile, the ice-cold and unobservable state immediately melted away a lot. She leaned back and leaned on the soft cushion. , Pointed at the guest chair next to him, "Sit down, not to mention that this hall neglects the guests from afar."

He Yan thanked him, and sat down with Xiao Jue on the side seat.

This is Mu Hongjin, the Queen of Mengji. He Yan's eyes fell on her, always feeling different from what she had imagined. Before arriving in Jiyang, the Mengji prince and daughter in He Yan's mind was probably a few years old, loving, dignified, and steady. Later, she guessed that she might be Liu Bu's old acquaintance, and thought that she might be a hearty and righteous person. But he did not expect that Mu Hongjin in reality is such a beautiful and powerful, domineering and arbitrary.

"His Royal Highness..." He Yan hesitated for a while before asking: "When did you find it?"

"When you enter Jiyang City so easily, you still think that the main hall is a decoration, you can't even see it." Mu Hongjin stroked a clear ruby ​​ring between his fingers, and said lightly: From the first day of entering the city, the main hall will know about it. Cui Yuezhi’s idiot can’t see it, doesn’t mean everyone is as stupid as him. I was waiting to see what you want to do, but since you saved Xiaolou, The main hall is too lazy to circle with you."

She looked at Xiao Jue: "After all, Governor Xiao, come to Jiyang City, what can I do?"

"I came here this time to find someone." Xiao Jue said: "His name is Chai Anxi. He was a subordinate of my father. He disappeared after the First World War in Mingshui. I found his whereabouts in Jiyang. But to No one has been found yet. As for the hidden Cuiwei Pavilion, it was burned half a month ago." The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Since your Royal Highness already knows the identity of our group, please help your Highness. I want to come and have your Highness's help in Jiyang City. It’s not difficult to check individuals."

Mu Hongjin's smile slightly closed. "Duke Xiao would not have expected this day, so he can borrow the hands of the temple to do things for you?"

Xiao Jue smiled lightly.

"You are so bold!"

He Yan was secretly speechless, but now in Mu Hongjin’s territory, they did not lead soldiers, Xiao Jue was good, not only did he not **** his tail to be a man, even Mu Hongjin dared to choke, begging for help, don’t It was Mu Hongjin, even He Yan felt it was too much.

The young man said casually: "Utuo people have been mixed into Jiyang city. His Royal Highness must be very distressed these days. Chai Anxi may have clues to Utuo people. Your Royal Highness helps me by helping yourself."

Mu Hongjin stared at him: "Why does this temple trust you?"

"Believe that I have nothing to lose." Xiao Jue's voice was calm, "It also depends on what is most worrying about your Royal Highness's top priority."

There was a moment of silence in the hall. Slowly, there was a sound of applause. Mu Hongjin clapped his hands one after another, staring at Xiao Jue, unable to tell whether he was jealous or admired, and said: "General Feng Yun is really well-deserved. , Even if you don’t be a military commander, you can do a good job as a counselor."

"His Royal Highness is absurd."

Mu Hongjin stood up and said: "You’re right. There are Utuo people in Jiyang City. The main hall has been worried about this for a long time. But how do you prove that the person you are looking for knows A clue to the Uto?"

"Jiyang city has always been easy to get out and difficult to enter. Chai Anxi has been in Jiyang for many years. Utuo people entering Jiyang as if there is no one, they must be related. In your Royal Highness’s palace, among Jiyang’s courtiers, there are people with The collusion of foreign thieves made the passage of Jiyang city have loopholes to be drilled, and it was done by one person. Whether it is Chai Anxi or the Utuo people, they all enter the city through the inside thieves." Xiao Jue calmly said, "His Royal Highness will do," It's a thief in the Qing Dynasty, but with the current ability of His Highness, it is already reluctant."

Mu Hongjin smiled: "Oh? Why am I reluctant?"

"Because of the small building."

Mu Hongjin's smile faded.

He Yan understands the meaning of Xiao Jue's words. After the death of King Mengji's Queen's husband, he left a son anyway, and the position of the prince was still stable. But after the son passed away, only one granddaughter remained, and the granddaughter is still young. Although a woman can inherit the throne of the vassal king and become a prince daughter, if it is really that simple, then Mu Hongjin would not be married to the son of an important court official by the old King Mengji to stabilize his power.

There are only two women in the huge palace, supported by a pair of grandparents. There are so many people who are staring at each other, internal and external troubles, and Mu Hongjin may not be as relaxed as it seems.

"Inspector Xiaodu inspects Qiuhao," Mu Hongjin sighed, "In Jiyang City, since my son's death, the hearts of the people have long been unstable. Xiaolou is now young and can't afford to be responsible. The family has long been separate parties. Falling apart like this, it’s not easy to be taken advantage of by others. It’s just that,” she paused, then looked at Xiao Jue, “Utuo people mixed into Jiyang, I’m afraid the situation in the Great Wei Central Plains is also unstable. ."

"Your Highness sees you well."

"So," Mu Hongjin raised his chin slightly: "Are you going to join hands with the main hall?"

"If your Royal Highness is willing," Xiao Jue curled his lips slightly, "I will be happy."

Mu Hongjin nodded: "The main hall will let people search for Chai Anxi's whereabouts in the city. If this person is alive, he is still alive now, no matter how he hides, the main hall promises you that this person will be found. However, you I must also agree to the main hall," a sly in her eyes flashed, "All said that General Fengyun used soldiers like a god, with a magical plan, and you and I must work together to solve the predicament of the Utuo in Jiyang City."

This time, I used "I" instead of "Main Hall", which means that she put herself and Xiao Jue on the same position to seek cooperation.

Xiao Jue nodded: "Definitely."

The words have already been said, Mu Hongjin's face was slightly removed from the initial inhumanity, and even showed some friendly smiles, "Cui Yuezhi asked you to enter the palace all the way, and waited for a long time in the outer hall. , I didn’t use rice if I wanted to come. Since I’m here, I’ve used rice before leaving. Xiaolou changed clothes and thanked you personally.” She looked at He Yan again, her eyes flashed with interest, “It’s just that I didn’t expect it. When Governor Xiao came to Jiyang, he would choose the identity of a married man. Is this... your lover?"

He Yan almost choked on his own saliva. He had known that Jiyang people spoke openly and directly, but even the prince was so direct, it was still a bit surprised.

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said indifferently: "No, she is my subordinate."

"Subordinates?" Mu Hongjin said with a smile: "But I heard what Yue said, yesterday you went to the Water God Festival together, and you also walked across the Lover's Bridge to win the wind for her. Tempered, a subordinate, is not so accommodating. As a subordinate, the request made is too bold."

He Yan was meditating in her heart, and the deep meaning of these words was that she wanted her to restrain herself in the future. After thinking about it, she said politely: "He Yan listens carefully to the teachings of His Highness, and he will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the governor."

Mu Hongjin was taken aback for a moment and looked at Xiao Jue: "Really a subordinate."

Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment, and said calmly: "His subordinates are dull, let your Highness laugh."

"Nothing, that's always your business." Mu Hongjin stretched out her hand and stroked her temples, and said: "The hall first goes to Cui Yuezhi and tells you to find someone for you. You two will wait here. A moment."

After that, got up from the high seat and slowly disappeared behind the palace.

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief after she left. For some reason, when facing this Mengji prince and daughter, she always felt that she could not be too relaxed, probably because her aura was too strong, and it was difficult to teach people to ignore it.

"The Governor, why did you admit it just now?" He Yan touched Xiao Jue's elbow, "I don't want to quibble."

Xiao Jue sneered: "It's not that everyone is a liar like you."

He Yan shrugged and changed his words, "However, this Mengji Wang Jüzhen is so powerful that I discovered it as soon as we entered the city."

"I didn't intend to hide it from him." Xiao Jue said casually: "Cui Yuezhi can still be perfunctory. The woman in Jiyang City can be stabilized by his own strength. How can it be so easy to deceive."

"Well," He Yan took his words deeply, "Women are not easy to deceive when they are not emotional."

But if you like someone and trust someone, it's too easy to be deceived.

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said slowly: "But some women are not only not easy to be deceived, but they also like to deceive."

He Yan: "..."

She said: "It's boring for you to say that, who lied to you?"

While talking, a maid from the palace came in and said: "Please come with the servants and maidservants. Your Royal Highness invites the two to have dinner in the banquet hall."

He Yan walked with Xiao Jue to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall of the palace is also very large. Although the walls and ceilings are covered with colorful paintings, and the floor is covered with brightly colored blankets, because there are few people in the long tables, I still go out first. The openness. The gorgeous emptiness makes people feel lonely.

Mu Hongjin sat on the small couch at the long table and said, "Sit down."

He Yan and Xiao Jue Yiyan sat down at the table.

"I don't know what you like to eat, please feel free." Mu Hongjin seemed to be a little tired, leaning against the cushion, "The main hall has asked Cui Yuezhi to go back first. He is here and it is inconvenient to speak." /

Cui Yuezhi still doesn't know the identities of Xiao Jue, and there are indeed many inconveniences.

The food in the Royal Mansion is not far from the food in the Cui Mansion. However, He Yan didn't pay much attention to food at first, and some of them were just okay. He immediately thanked him, and held up his chopsticks with restraint. I also remember that the person in front of me is the Queen of Mengji, who is not presumptuous, and eats a little more gentle.

Mu Hongjin looked at Xiao Jue: "Duke Xiao, if the Utuo sneak into Jiyang, what is the purpose?"

"Da Wei."

In one sentence, He Yan stopped drinking the soup, and instantly felt the tastelessness of the delicacies.

"Once the Utuo gains power and captures Jiyang, the first thing to do is to cut off the canal water transport. The cities along the river will be affected. There will be no food or money, merchants will strike the market, and the Central Plains will be in chaos. Then go north in one fell swoop. Enter the capital and go straight to the palace." He said lightly, "Nothing is more natural than this."

Mu Hongjin was silent for a moment, then said: "This kind of shocking thing, Governor Xiao said very lightly."

"Because it is about to happen." Xiao Jue said: "Not now, as early as the battle between his father and Nanman Mingshui, it has already begun to show signs."

"Nanban?" Mu Hongjin was the first to hear about this, and wondered: "What do you do with Nanban?"

"There was an internal traitor in the DPRK. They colluded with Nanban. Unfortunately, the Nanban rebellion was suppressed. Utuo Guoyuan has been safe for these years. He has already secretly accumulated his strength. Therefore,'he' has changed his cooperation partner and changed from Nanban. Cheng Wutuo. Jiyang is the first city to be used to claim credit."

Mu Hongjin touched his heart with a hand and frowned, "Jiyang hasn't fought for many years."

"Let me speak a little more," Xiao Jue asked, "how many are there in Jiyang City Army today?"

"Less than 20,000."

He Yan frowned when she heard it. It was less than 20,000, which is really not a reassuring number. We must know that there are more than 20,000 people in Liangzhouwei today.

"Didn't Governor Xiao have Nanfu soldiers," Mu Hongjin asked, "Can the Nanfu soldiers be transferred to Jiyang?"

"It's too late." Xiao Jue said.

He Yan and Mu Hongjin were stunned at the same time, and Mu Hongjin said coldly, "Isn't Governor Xiao being alarmist?"

"His Majesty already knows the truth. If you are not in a hurry," Xiao Jue's expression is still calm, "His Majesty will not be taken away on the Water God Festival."

Mu Xiaolou was part of their plan, but he happened to meet He Yan and the others, and the plan was disrupted. It is conceivable that if He Yan and the others did not show up that day, Mu Xiaolou was successfully taken away. There will only be two results. The first is that the rumor of the disappearance of the little majesty spreads, and the whole Jiyang city is panicked. There is no heir to the prince and daughter. Directly on top. The second one is even simpler. They will use Mu Xiaolou as a bargaining chip to negotiate directly with Mu Hongjin. If Mu Hongjin loves this granddaughter, he will directly hand over the throne, so it can be convenient for him to do nothing. Occupies the entire city of Jiyang.

No matter what kind of result, Jiyang City today cannot afford it.

"You mean..." Mu Hongjin asked.

"Be prepared for the fierce battle in advance." Xiao Jue replied.

This topic is too heavy. Everyone in the banquet hall was speechless for a while. At this moment, a crisp voice was heard: "Grandma!"

It's Mu Xiaolou.

Mu Xiaolou has changed her clothes again. Her clothes are also big red robes with golden lotus embroidered on them. They are gorgeous and delicate. She does not wear a golden crown. She has two braids hanging on her chest and hanging on her forehead. A little forehead ornaments, it looks like Mu Hongjin when she was a child, she is a foreign girl, but compared to Mu Hongjin's domineering beauty, Mu Xiaolou is more charming and arrogant.

Back to the familiar palace, Mu Xiaolou was not as silent as in Cui's residence. She ran over like a bird, jumped onto Mu Hongjin’s collapse, and nestled on Mu Hongjin’s side. : "Grandma, why isn't Cui Zhongqi here?"

"Something is going on with Cui Zhongqi." When Mu Hongjin faced Mu Xiaolou, he was more loving, touched her head with a smile, and said to her: "Your savior is here, please thank them ."

Mu Xiaolou turned his head and looked at He Yan and Xiao Jue. After a long while, he whispered, "Thank you for saving me."

Something doesn't mean it can't be pulled down.

He Yan didn't care about her either, just asked Mu Hongjin: "How did the little majesty fall into the hands of the gangster that day? Did the gangster sneak into the palace?"

If this is the case, the thieves would be too bold.

Mu Hongjin looked at Mu Xiaolou, "You speak yourself."

"It's nothing," Mu Xiaolou glanced at his grandmother's face, and said for a while, "I wanted to go to the Water God Festival, but I didn't want the guards to follow, so I left the house by myself. I met those people on the road and said You can help me ride the firefly boat. After I got on the boat, I couldn't move after drinking tea, and then I met you guys."

She said an understatement, probably because she was afraid of being blamed by Mu Hongjin, and she had experienced a lot of dangers when she wanted to come here. But it's normal for children of this age to be playful. Mu Hongjin has only such a granddaughter, and he is very strict on weekdays, for fear of accidents. The child wants to go out on his own, which is excusable.

It's just that the luck is not so good, and I've been targeted for a long time.

"Thank you very much," Mu Hongjin sighed, "If the Xiaolou really has three long and two shortcomings, the main hall will not know how to survive."

"His Majesty, please don't say that. Your Majesty Ji Ren has his own vision. Even if you don't meet us, you will meet others and you will be fine."

When Mu Xiaolou heard the words, he mumbled: "You didn't save me, but mine was an uncle." After that, she looked at He Yan again, "Is that uncle not coming today? When can you come? Go back and tell him, I want to see him, can I go to the house to play with me."

This is the first time that Mu Hongjin heard of such a person, and asked in confusion: "What uncle?"

"It's an uncle like a god," Mu Xiaolou was happy, and gestured to Mu Hongjin, "He is very tall and dressed in white clothes. He is so powerful. I was caught at the time. He appeared. I knocked the knife over! He has a sword and he is carrying a piano."

Mu Hongjin's expression gradually stiffened.

He Yan kept complaining in his heart, and only hoped that this little ancestor would stop talking about it, but don't keep talking. However, Mu Xiaolou seemed to have a good impression of Liu Buwang. At this point, he was excited and wished to tell Mu Hongjin everything he knew.

"He can also play the piano, and he played the piano to me, which is the piece that grandma you used to play. But he played much better than you. He said that it seemed to be called "Shao Guang Slow". Grandma, why have I never heard you say the name of this song, is it really called that name?"

Mu Hongjin looked at Mu Xiaolou, slowly speaking, her voice dry, "Since you have seen him, do you know his name?"

"I asked him," Mu Xiaolou replied, "He said he was called Yunlin Lay, but I heard them call that person Master Liu. You should ask him," Mu Xiaolou pointed to Xiao Jue. "Jushi Yunlin seems to be his master, I heard Cui Zhongqi ask."

Mu Hongjin looked at Xiao Jue: "Really?"

He Yan's nervous palms sweated, and Xiao Jue replied: "Yes."

The banquet hall became dull inexplicably, Mu Hongjin did not speak, but leaned on the collapsed, even Mu Xiaolou did not pay attention, her gaze gradually moved away, as if she was thinking of distant memories, and she could no longer tolerate others in her eyes. .

He Yan said in his heart, looking at it this way, Mu Hongjin and Liu Buqiang are not only old acquaintances, but also not shallow.

I don't know how long it took before Mu Hongjin recovered his senses and said indifferently: "I know."

He didn't say that he wanted to meet again, and he didn't ask about Liu Buwang's news, as if he was just a passerby, and he forgot his name after hearing the name. Her expression returned to calm, and for a moment the depression disappeared. It seemed that she had returned to the high and unsympathetic Royal Highness when she first saw her.

It would be better if she asked, she just put it down like this. Instead, He Yan was suspicious, as if there was a restless cat in her heart constantly scratching, and finally couldn't help but asked: "His Royal Highness and Lay Yunlin are Old knowledge?"

Xiao Jue glanced at her and showed a warning.

He Yan doesn't care, Liu Buwang is considered her relative, and now he can finally see a little shadow of Liu Buwang's past, how can he just give up. Besides, Mu Hongjin's expression... at least he and Liu Buwang are not enemies.

Mu Hongjin didn't expect He Yan to ask this suddenly. He looked at He Yan, and He Yan looked at her generously. After a long while, Mu Hongjin smiled and said, "Duke Xiao, you subordinate, courageous. It’s really big."

Xiao Jue's eyes are light and light: "His Royal Highness Haihan."

"The main hall hasn't said anything yet, you don't have to rush to protect your shortcomings." Mu Hongjin smiled slightly, "It's just this question, no one has dared to ask it for many years."

He Yan is strange, is it really an enemy?

As an enemy, how could Liu Bu-forget be so good to Mu Xiaolou? After all, Mu Xiaolou and Mu Hongjinsheng are too alike, facing a face that looks like an enemy, how can they not be gentle.

"Actually, it's nothing to tell you." Mu Hongjin said lightly: "Many years ago, when I was not married, there was a time when I sneaked out of the palace." She glanced at Mu Xiaolou, gentle. Said: "Just like yesterday's small building."

"However, the temple was very lucky. Instead of meeting the gangster, I met a young man who had just come down from the mountain."

She stared at the painted paintings on the distant wall with beautiful eyes. She painted like a girl sitting under a flower tree weaving a wreath. The large peach pink is bright and beautiful, just like the spring of the year.

"The hall admired this young man in his heart, so he pestered him, and followed him by the excuse that he had nowhere to go."

Mu Xiaolou's eyes widened in surprise when he heard about his grandmother for the first time.

"This hall is the first time I like a person, so naturally I am very sincere. But the young man already has a sweetheart and doesn't like the hall, and he is very indifferent to the hall. The father told the hall that the marriage has been decided, no We will get married in the future. The temple begs the boy to take the temple and leave."

He Yan was speechless in surprise, the Mengji prince was really brave, and she even dared to elope before marriage.

"He didn't come on the day of the appointment." Mu Hongjin said lightly: "The main hall was found by the father, and he returned to Jiyang and became a relative."

"Afterwards, I never met him."
