"Xuanqing..."

Mrs Lu called her husband worriedly.

"What Amei means is what I mean!"

Mu Xuanqing shouted sharply, there is no room for negotiation.

He and his wife have always had a good relationship. Mu Xuanqing still turned his head and spoke to his wife in such a tone in front of people.

Wang was angry, and the attendants nearby all showed fear, and they all knelt down, prostrate on the ground, daring not to move.

Lu Shi knew that he should have known about the Xie family's intention to take a concubine, so he was so angry that he came here regardless of the fact that his legs and feet had not recovered.

She knows her husband's temper.

I hated myself for being incompetent, and because I didn't have the trust of my father and king, I promised Wang Mei to a giant Jiangyang thief.

For Wang Mei, this is a great grievance.

Now that the Xie family dared to treat her like this, how could he bear it?

Although relying on intuition, Lu Shi always felt that this matter was not as simple as the sister-in-law said on the surface, and there might be other secrets inside.

But the husband is the king of Changsha. He has already made such a statement, how can she object again?

What's more, my sister-in-law's attitude is even more resolute.

She just saved her husband.

Even if it is the worst plan, this sudden marriage change will cause the relationship between Changsha State and the now powerful Hexi Jiedushi Xie Changgeng to break up, and even have a bad relationship.

But what else, the consequences will be more terrible than the loss of the king of Changsha, and then the extermination of the country?

If it wasn't for my sister-in-law, who received the dream of the gods and sent the letter of life-saving in time, she would have lost her husband and the king of Changsha, and this country would soon cease to exist.

Lu Shi was also an open-minded person, so when he thought about it, he calmed down.

She pondered and nodded.

"Alright. If Laner, you really decide to break away from the Xie family, sister-in-law, like your brother, will definitely help you."

"The country is here, you are the princess of my Changsha country!"

Mu Xuanqing glanced at his wife, his expression eased a little, and ordered all the servants around to step down.

"Amei, do you remember ten years ago, when you were six years old, when your aunt died in the palace? Before, I never told you, when the father and king clearly got the news, there was something strange about the death of the aunt, or I can't get rid of the current traitor. But before my aunt died, she ordered her confidant to bring her last words to her father."

"When I was twelve years old, I still remember my aunt's last words clearly."

"Auntie said that life and death are fates, and she has no resentment. The imperial court intended to completely cut off the king with different surnames, and she did not want any turmoil in Changsha because of her. My aunt told my father and king to keep a low profile from now on. To ensure the safety of Changsha as the first priority."

"Amei, do you know what Auntie means? I didn't understand that day. I asked my father, but my father didn't say anything. Later, I thought about it myself, and it wasn't until the last two years that I finally figured it out."

"Amei, why did the court choose my Mu family's daughter as the queen back then? It looks beautiful, but it's actually poisonous bait! My aunt died in the palace for no apparent reason. What they were waiting for might be the anger and injustice of my country in Changsha. If Wang has any change, it becomes the best excuse for them to attack my Mu Clan!"

"Father, in order to protect my Mu family's inheritance, he endured it. He also answered the request of that surnamed Xie, and promised him you."

"My father promised you to him that day, and recommended him to serve as an official, hoping to use his power to keep the four borders of Changsha safe. But this Xie, who is now ensnared by the traitor, has gone very far with the traitor. Recently, the traitor has been isolating our country of Changsha under the pretext of eradicating the chaos king, and secretly suppressing it.”

"Father can bear it, but I can't bear it. Sooner or later, I will avenge my aunt's revenge. My words just now were not impulsive!"

"This surnamed Xie, in order to get rid of his identity as a giant thief, asked my Mu Clan for marriage. Now he is willing to become a traitor's lackey in order to achieve prosperity. It is impossible for him to have the same heart as my Mu Clan. I despised you like that! In the past, you were willing to marry him, but now that you have changed your mind, no matter how incompetent I am, Mu Xuanqing, I will never force you to commit yourself to such a horrible person!"

"Don't worry, sister, when the surname Xie arrives, brother brother will make it clear to him for you!"

"From now on, Brother A will do everything in his power to strengthen our country of Changsha, protect my sister, and never let you suffer any grievances!"

The young king looked excited and his eyes were bright. The sonorous oath showed his unparalleled determination and the pride and courage inherent in the sons of the royal family.

There was a warm current in Mu Fulan's heart.

Xie Changgeng was the same age as her elder brother, but only a few months older than him. But how deep the scheming, how tolerant of people, and how cunning the temperament, perhaps no one in this world knows better than her.

Regardless of whether A-xiong can really help him get rid of him at that time, the love from her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law is another precious possession after she has lost her beloved in this life.

In the future, she will also do her best to protect the possession she cherishes.

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, sister-in-law."

She stared at the brother and sister-in-law in front of her, and said word by word.

…

Half a month later, on November 12, the official of Changsha received the news again.

Xie Changgeng, the Jiedu envoy of Hexi, also known as Weng Zhu's husband-in-law, will arrive in Yuecheng three days later.

When the ceremonial officer began to prepare for the ceremony of welcoming the distinguished guests, he received a king's order.

The king ordered them to do nothing.

He did not stop Xie Changgeng from coming, but he did not make any preparations to welcome him.

The official was confused.

Not to mention Xie Changgeng's current official position is extremely important. Hexi Jiedu envoy, stationed in Liangzhou, when he was ordered, he was given a splendid festival, and the military killed him.

Even if he was an ordinary person, as the husband-in-law of Weng Zhu, he came to Changsha to pay homage to his ancestors.

But the king's order cannot be violated.

The Ritual Officer asked Prime Minister Lu Lin. Lu Lin herself couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't find out anything from the queen. She wanted to persuade Mu Xuanqing, but he couldn't see her, so she suppressed her anxiety and told him to act according to the king's order.

On the fifteenth day, early in the morning, Lu Lin once again asked to see Mu Xuanqing, and persuaded him that no matter what the reason, since Xie Changgeng claimed to come here to worship the late king, there is no need to offend others like this.

But Mu Xuanqing still didn't listen to him and walked away.

Lu Lin had no choice but to order someone to open the city gate to welcome him, and brought his officials to the temple of the late king, where he waited for Xie Changgeng.

Xie Changgeng arrived in Yuecheng in the afternoon.

He was dressed in a green shirt and had soap boots on his feet, and his clothes were very ordinary. He only followed a few followers, all of them in commoner clothes, so that when he even came to the gate of the city, the city guards did not expect this person in front of him. Junba's young man is the husband-in-law of the king's daughter-in-law of Changsha, and the youngest Jiedu envoy who is famous in the dynasty. Seeing that the people he was traveling with seemed to be carrying weapons, they stopped them and questioned their origins.

Xie Changgeng's entourage all followed him in the Yangtze River waterway in the early years. They seemed ordinary, but they were invisible when they were placed in the crowd, but in reality, they were all gangsters who murdered without blinking an eye. . After entering the country of Changsha, I was surprised by the other party's hospitality. When I saw Wangcheng and the gate of the city, there was no one to greet him at least. I was stopped by the city guards and questioned rudely. I couldn't bear it any longer. , was furious, and was about to draw his sword on the spot, but was stopped by Xie Changgeng.

Sitting on the back of a horse, he looked at the street scene of Changsha, the capital of Changsha, which was rushing towards him after the heavy doorway in front of him. He looked calm and reported his name.

When the city guard heard that he was actually Xie Changgeng, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped aside to make his way out.

When he came to ask for marriage three years ago, he had only been to the palace, never to the temple. He asked the sergeant for directions again.

He glanced in the direction where his eyes were pointed, squinted slightly, then drove his horse and entered the city.

While Lu Lin was waiting under the Shinto steps leading to the temple, Yuan Handing also came.

Yuan Han stood there, standing still, staring straight ahead, like a solidified rock pillar.

Lu Lin is older than Yuan Handing, and in terms of age, he is even more of his elder, but today, it is not impossible to be as stable as him.

He really couldn't understand why Mu Xuanqing put on such a proud gesture to his brother-in-law who came from afar.

He was even more worried that if he offended Xie Changgeng because of this, it would not be a good thing to live in Changsha in the future.

I was restless, and when I looked around, I suddenly saw a cyan figure at the end of the divine way in the distance.

The blue shadow gradually got closer and bigger.

Lu Lin recognized at a glance that it was Xie Changgeng who had met three years ago.

After not seeing him for three years, the appearance of this young man has not changed much compared to his impression.

Perhaps, the newly added killings on the official road are just a continuation of when he was a giant bandit in the past, and it is not enough to add more **** shadows in his eyes.

I saw that his robe was in the wind, his pace was slow and slow, and he was walking in this direction alone.

Lu Lin hurriedly led people to greet him with a hurried walk, and said with a smile, after a long period of several years, he could only hear the fame of Jiedu Envoy from afar, and today we finally meet again.

His tone was extremely respectful.

Xie Changgeng stopped, returned the salute, and smiled slightly: "The prime minister's words are serious. The prime minister works hard for the country and the people, and he will give you ten. Because I came late, I asked the prime minister and you to wait here for a long time. I am ashamed."

Mu Xuanqing has offended people severely today. Unexpectedly, as soon as we met, Xie Changgeng acted as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care, his words were gentle, and his reply was thoughtful.

Lu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party didn't mention Changsha's disobedience, so naturally he wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to say this, and was busy introducing Yuan Handing to Xie Changgeng.

"General Yuan is the adopted son of the late Yuan Prime Minister of our country. Today, he learned that the Jiedushi envoy was coming, and he came here specially to welcome him."

Yuan Handing was only a general in Changsha, and his official position was very different from that of Xie Changgeng.

Yuan Handing looked solemn, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed to Xie Changgeng, and said, "We will greet the Jiedu envoy at the end of the day."

Xie Changgeng's two lines of sight fell on Yuan Handing's face, stared at him for a moment, nodded slightly, passed by him, and continued to move forward.

Lu Lin hurriedly followed and led the way for him to the Wang Temple.

The temple door has been opened.

Xie Changgeng cleansed his hands and held the incense with a solemn expression. He entered the temple of the king and bowed to the many ancestors of the Mu family who were listed in the temple. Finally, he returned to the memorial tablet of the old Changsha King who died three years ago. He was respectful and meticulous. .

After the salute, he got up from the ground, inserted the incense into the incense burner, stepped back, walked a dozen steps, and then turned around to leave the temple, but his footsteps stopped.

Mu Xuanqing, the king of Changsha, his wife and brother, did not know when they entered the ancestral temple, so they stood in the temple and blocked his way.

The servants who were kneeling on both sides outside the threshold were all gone.

Mu Xuanqing wore a white jade crown on his head, dressed in a splendid royal robe, and wore a gold-colored jade belt around his waist. His face was like snow and his expression was like ice, and he looked at him coldly.

The surroundings were silent and dead.

It seemed that the eyes of the dead were floating on the top of the temple, quietly watching the two people standing opposite each other on the ground.
