Because there were too many children, both Baiming Zhusha and Musu gave up their beds.Zhu Sha ran directly to the dead tree outside the house and fell asleep.Musu and his clothes were lying at the door, sleeping lightly.
He has been worrying all the time these days.Because Xie Yan not only asked Lang Yue to return his body in his will, but also mentioned that he would come in person.Xie Yan wants to come to Lang Yue in person! Xie Yan can't even imagine what the information behind this sentence means.
If Xie Yan really went to Lang Yue, he must not be alone, nor could he only bring envoys and maids with him.Those who follow him will also be Da Xia's iron cavalry and army.
If the agreement is reached, the two sides can still live in peace.But He Lou Chengye is not someone who will submit, let alone this is his country, Xie Yan wants to set foot on his country, if he compromises at this time, it will be tantamount to submission and surrender.This is definitely not a choice that He Lou Chengye can make.Not to mention that he had already chosen to send himself to Beiyuan.
If Xie Yan really went to Lang Yue, the negotiation would definitely break down.Then the situation of armistice and stalemate for so long will be completely broken, and the war will definitely start.And the leader of all this is himself.
Mu Su didn't even know whether he was awake or dreaming. Before his eyes, there was already a bloodbath, the flames of war, and the cries of children lingering around him, shrill and sad.
Suddenly, there was a coldness on the cheek, as if someone's knuckles stretched out from the cold wind, gently caressing Musu's cheek.Carefully and reluctantly.After a while, the touch moved to the fingers again, as if he was carefully tracing the shape of Musu's fingers.
Mu Su was startled suddenly, when he opened his eyes, there was a backlit black figure in front of him, tall and tall, his face could not be seen clearly.
But he knew who it was in the next moment, because the familiar sandalwood was diffused in the night.
When He Lou saw Musu wake up at night, he withdrew his hand in a panic, his expression was unclear, but his amber eyes seemed unusually bright.Just like the black tiger at night.
Musu sat up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness doesn't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"
He Lou Chengye was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Come and see you."
Musu cupped his hands and said, "Musu is fine, thank you for your concern."
He Lou Chengye sighed and said, "You are really still angry."
"Then Shanyu knows why I'm angry"
"You're mad at me..." He Lou Chengye opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly hesitated, he paused and said, "Send you to Beiyuan?"
Mu Su remained silent, stood up, straightened his clothes, looked at Bai Ming who was sleeping right beside him, put on his shoes and walked out of the room.
He Lou Chengye didn't dare to speak, but followed him closely and walked out.
Summer nights in Beiyuan are windy, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, and the moon and stars are rare.The forest in the distance is indistinct, without light but not dark.
Musu didn't continue the previous topic, but said softly: "Langyue's moon is really beautiful."
He Lou took advantage of the night with a smile and said: "When I was a child, I used to climb up to this roof. The queen mother and Alu didn't know it, and I slept all night. The moon at that time was really beautiful like never seen before."
Musu turned to look at him and said, "Why do you seem to be homesick?"
He Lou Chengye said softly: "The grassland is my hometown."
Musu stopped talking.
The two of them stood quietly on the grassland at night, and when he heard the trombone that seemed to be played by some animal in the distance, even the stars dimmed by three points.Langyue is such a magical and fascinating place, if there is a real war, no matter who wins or loses, all of this will turn into scorched earth.
Musu's eyes flickered for a moment, he patted He Lou Chengye's shoulder, looked at the man's turned side face and said: "This is the end of the story, if I don't sit on the roof, I really don't know What are you going to say next?"
The hut on the first floor was not high, so He Lou Chengye just chuckled, supported Musu's waist, and led him down on the roof.Sitting on the ridge of the roof, he sighed softly: "In the beginning, the martial arts were not very good, and it would take a long time to climb up to this roof. Even Alu couldn't get up. Later, I kept hiding things here, and he couldn't find them." He Lou Cheng Ye rummaged among the thatch and wood chips on the roof for a while, and suddenly found a dirty and worn-out rag doll.
Musu was taken aback, looked at the slightly rough workmanship, and turned to look at him: "This is"
"My mother made this for me when I was a child. I was afraid that Alu would snatch it and hid it here secretly. I didn't expect to go back to Tianyue City suddenly, and I didn't have time to take it away. I kept it here for more than ten years."
Musu looked at the doll, and suddenly said: "Then have you thought about coming back and never going back to Tianyue City?"
He Lou Cheng Ye was startled, his amber eyes looked at Mu Su, blinked for a moment but did not answer Mu Su's question, but asked: "Do you know that I am not Lang Yue's Shan Yu?"
Musu was startled and looked at him.
"Langyue's Chanyu should be Alu. My mother entrusted her mantle to me before she died. She said that I am not suitable to be Shanyu, but Alu is more suitable. But father passed away too suddenly, and Alu was not ready yet. .” He Lou Chengye’s voice was very low, as if he was telling a very distant story.
Musu was silent.
"Perhaps Alu is the one who really belongs to the grassland. The grassland is his hometown. And I am more like a four-faced person. There is no home under the sky and the earth. So you said to leave Tianyue City..." He Lou Chengye was silent for a while , looking into Musu's eyes, as if wanting to see something: "I can't, and I don't dare."
Musu said softly: "Alu is indeed a child of the grassland. He is innocent and kind, full of wildness and vigor. A country is too heavy for him." He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but didn't say it.
He Lou turned his head to look at him at night, and watched the night wind blowing the broken hair on Musu's forehead, and the moonlight reflected in his eyes like jewels. "I know what you want to say. I am very thoughtful, and I also like to get into a dead end. I will not admit defeat. This country is not heavy for me, but it will be very tiring."
"You did a good job." Musu said softly: "No matter which role you are in, you do a good job. But too many roles will indeed be tiring. Both you and I should have this Experience, it is really difficult to choose, but I have to choose.”
He Lou Cheng Ye smiled and said, "It's very tiring. But even so, I'm still not satisfied."
Mu Su looked at him, and he also looked at Mu Su. Neither of them spoke, but they seemed to understand something vaguely.Mu Su lowered his eyelashes and said, "You are not satisfied because you don't know what you really want. If you knew, only one thing would be enough..."
He Lou Chengye beside him sighed, and seemed to be smiling wryly: "I know. But how do you want me to choose? How do you choose Xie Yan? How do you want to choose?"
Musu's fingers trembled violently.
Xie Yan naturally chose Jiangshan.
Because they are not gods, they can only play one or two roles, so there must be sacrifices and choices.
"Thank you..." Musu asked softly, "He really wants to come"
He Lou Chengye hummed.
"If I count well, it will be tomorrow."
Mu Su's eyes trembled, and he looked to the south, as if he saw the sword-browed and star-eyed emperor stepping into his defense line step by step.He also suddenly realized that He Lou seemed to have ulterior motives when he came here at night.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
He Loucheng lowered his head at night, a little confused but extremely stubborn: "I still want to try. And as I said, I am a person who likes to stick to the horns, and I don't admit defeat. Since you said that I am not satisfied because I don't know what I am really You can only know what you want if you try it. So I will not promise him."
"Do you know what this means!" Mu Su raised his head suddenly, looked at He Lou Cheng Ye, and grabbed his arm subconsciously.
He Lou Chengye didn't look at him, and said in a low voice: "I know. This battle will be fought sooner or later, and this time it is inevitable. Since I chose this step at the beginning, I have no chance to turn back, and I will never turn back. And it's not because of you, you don't have to blame yourself, but whether it's you or Lang Yue, I won't give any words of thanks."
Musu withdrew his hand and stared into He Lou Chengye's eyes for a long time, hoping to see something from his face, but finally withdrew his hand, sat back a little weakly, squeezed his sleeves tightly with his fingers, no longer say.
"... Luan'er."
He Lou Cheng Ye suddenly called out in a low voice.
Musu didn't make a sound.
"If...you find out that I have something to hide from you in the future, will you be angry?"
Musu was still immersed in the conversation between the two just now and couldn't escape, so he just blinked and asked: "What's the matter?"
He Lou Chengye took a deep breath and said, "No matter what it is, I don't think I will regret it."
Mu Su looked at this person's side face, frowned unconsciously, and felt a little inexplicably sour: "He Lou Cheng Ye, you believe in yourself so much, do you have to take everything on yourself?"
He Lou looked at him at night, stretched out his hand to straighten Musu's messy hair and said: "It used to be like this. But since you came to Langyue, you and I have changed...how can I not now?" It's important, it doesn't matter what you are, you and I don't want it, and the world is not just a matter of whether you want it or not. You are, I am, thank you, and everyone in the world is."
"I'm sorry, Luan'er. Since I walked this road, I will suffer."
When He Lou left at night, Mu Su didn't go to see him off.When he returned to the room, he saw Bai Ming who was awakened raised his head in a daze, rubbed his eyes and called out, "What's wrong, young master?"
Mu Su said softly: "It's nothing, just woke up and went out for a walk."
Bai Ming sat up and said in a hoarse voice: "It's still cold early in the morning, young master, don't go out too often, and ruin your body again."
Musu nodded, sat back beside Baiming, looked at the messy thin quilt in front of him, and asked suddenly: "Baiming, if Da Xia and Lang Yue go to war again, what do you think?"
Bai Ming was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Is there going to be another war?"
Musu lowered his eyes, smiled again and said, "I'm just asking you."
Bai Ming calmed down, and said, "I... I don't know either. I'll just follow you... Young Master, who do you think will win when Da Xia and Lang Yue start a war?"
Musu raised his eyes to look at He Lou Chengyue who was sleeping innocently like a child, pondered for a moment and said, "If Lang Yue wants to win, she can only win quickly and win with one strike. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to turn over. "
Bai Ming didn't think much about it, just nodded, and then seemed to ask Mu Su inadvertently: "Master, you said a few days ago that if you stay here in Beiyuan, you'd be at ease. If Daxia wins, we can still stay here." here?"
Musu's hands froze for a moment, but he returned to normal in a moment. He raised his head to look at Baiming, and said with a smile, "I regret it."
"Ah..." Baiming didn't react.
"After all, I'm not a hermit sage, and I can't live my life alone. Now that he doesn't want to stay in Beiyuan, I have no reason to stay in Beiyuan. Naturally, I regret it." He laughed at himself, but frowned slightly. "If Daxia wins, Xie Yan or the court wants me to go back... I will go back to Daxia."
In the early morning of that day, He Lou Chengyue took the children and left in a hurry. The children were reluctant to part with Mu Su, but He Lou Cheng Yue seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry. Mu Su knew what he was doing, so he didn't stop him anymore, and watched He left with the children.
Zhu Sha jumped to Musu's side, leaned closer and said, "Sir! Did the young master come last night?"
Musu was taken aback, looked at her and said, "Why do you ask this?"
Zhu Sha wrinkled her small nose and said with a smile: "I just think that the young master really treats Mr. differently from others. It's so caring!"
Musu's face was slightly red, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her face and said, "Following Baiming all day long, he also became glib."
Zhu Sha hurriedly moaned and begged for mercy, and when Mu Su let go of her, she rubbed her face, poked her neck and said, "Then Mr. must know that Emperor Xia is going to Tianyue City today."
Musu hummed lightly.
"I wanted to go and listen to the news for you. I've been here all day long, and there's no news, but I'm so aggrieved." Zhu Sha sighed, looked into the distance and said: "But the young master told me that I'm afraid there will be some People with bad intentions who are in the dark want to harm you, so tell me not to run around."
Mu Su's heart moved and he understood a little bit, and then said with a smile: "Why do you not care about my life or death, and you just want to run out to play."
Zhu Sha muttered: "Oh, who doesn't care anymore, firstly, those people can't find you, and secondly, even if they do find you, they will never touch you!" Said: "This place is much safer than Tianyue City."
Musu didn't turn around, but there was a flash of light in his eyes, he raised his head and whispered to Zhu Sha: "Zhu Sha, you go to Tianyue City."
Zhu Sha was surprised: "No! The young master won't let me go!"
"If you are found out, tell me that I said it. You can't be blamed anyway." Musu looked at Nanfang and said, "I really can't let go. What happened today is a big event that affects tens of thousands of people. . Even if there is nothing I can do about it, it gives me peace of mind to know."
Zhu Sha also put away her smile. She looked into Musu's serious eyes, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then stomped her feet fiercely and said, "Go! I was caught by someone before! The young master is wrong in the first place. You put it here, there are no extra people and no news, it makes people anxious, it's too much!"
Musu didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled.
Zhu Sha talked more and more, and hurriedly said: "I'll pack up and leave right away!" After speaking, he turned around and walked into the house.
Mu Su hurriedly tugged at her and said, "What are you in such a rush for? Eat some food anyway, and wait for Aunt Yue to bring you some dry food."
Zhu Sha pursed her lips, nodded, clasped her fists again and said to Musu: "Take care, sir! I must always bring messages!" After she finished speaking, she was taken aback for a moment, then took out a small black iron ring from her bosom and said: "Sir, you put this away!"
Mu Su took it out and saw that there was nothing special about the pitch-black one. Zhu Sha said softly, "This is something from the pavilion. First of all, if the master is in a critical moment, take this to the small pavilion, and don't go there. Building, go in through the crevice of the mountain on the west side. With this, sir will be fine."
"Secondly, I have carried this thing for many years. My green bird can only recognize it besides me! In the future, I will give my husband a bird. With this ring, you don't have to bother training yourself. Just wait for the green bird to recognize you. gone."
Mu Su put it into his arms carefully, looked at her and said, "I understand. You must be careful, don't be impulsive, only inquire about information, and don't interfere with it. Everything is safety first, understand?"
Zhu Sha laughed and nodded again and again: "Understood! Just put 1 hearts in your heart! Even the young master, I won't tell him!"
Seeing the girl in front of him smiling brightly like a summer flower, Mu Su couldn't help feeling emotional, and reached out to rub Zhu Sha's head.
In the autumn of the eighth year of Jiahe, Emperor Xia brought a delegation to Tianyue City, the capital of Langyue, and was told that He Lou Shanyu had not returned and was rushing back to meet Emperor Xia.Emperor Xia brought nearly a hundred attendants to stay in Langyue Palace, and on the first day he went to the envoy Xia's bedroom which had been burned down and repaired.
However, in two years, Xie Yan seemed to have aged several decades.There is a heavy black air between the brows, white hair on the sideburns, but a pair of star eyes are a little more chaotic at this moment.It didn't look like the words of thanks from two years ago.
He was dressed in a black embroidered gold dragon robe, standing in front of the renovated palace, like a statue as heavy as Mount Tai.
The eunuch beside him approached and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's very cold outside here, so be careful about the body of the dragon... What's more, this Lang Yue Shanyu has a lot of thoughtfulness, and he cleaned up this place early on, what do you think? The evidence we need must have been hidden. Why don't we ask him face to face tomorrow to save some effort."
Xie Yan didn't seem to hear it, he took another step forward, suddenly squatted down slowly, his hands touched the ground tremblingly, feeling the chill from the cold stone, but he couldn't bear to stop.
"Yan Luan...where are you...why...don't you come to see me...listen to my explanation..."
