Aifei, I'm addicted to pampering you

After listening to Mu Yunjing's words, the ministers broke out in cold sweat. It was really surprising that this person, who had always seemed limp before, would suddenly change to such a degree.

At this time, Mr. Zhang from the household department stood up and said, "My lord, since the emperor has been captured now, should we be prepared? If the enemy takes the opportunity to march towards our border wantonly, then the emperor will act as a shield." , then our army is not ready to die, if this is the case, our army will fall into a passive situation, it is better to prepare early."

Everyone nodded again and again, yes, there are many such things in history, and if it is not done well, it will become a disaster for the subjugation of the country. If you don’t take precautions in advance, when the time comes, the enemy will march and use the emperor as a shield. No one would start a war easily, they all said they were afraid of hurting the emperor.

Suddenly, Mu Yunjing smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, please rest assured, the enemy has already retreated, and it is not as far as you think. What I am afraid of is that after seeing the emperor escorting them back to the capital of Meng Kingdom Forcing me, Mu Guo, to do something, that’s what worries me the most.”

All the ministers were whispering at the bottom. To be honest, no one could have expected what the Meng Council would do in the future, and they were all bragging. Seeing that the ministers below became restless for a while, Mu Yunjing went He waved his hand, signaling all the ministers to be calm and calm, and said: "Since this king was left behind by the emperor to supervise the country's regent before he left, he must take up this burden. The best way for us now is to take precautions before they happen, and the Minister of the Ministry of War will obey the order!"

Suddenly Mu Yunjing shouted loudly in the court hall, and the Minister of the Ministry of War came out immediately, knelt down trembling, and said: "My minister is here, what orders does the lord have?"

Mu Yunjing glanced down sharply, and then said: "Now if we want to preserve the century-old foundation of the Mu Kingdom, we will not give up an inch of land. You can recruit a hundred thousand troops and go to the border gate to garrison. This time, I don’t need anyone to lead me, and you, the minister of the Ministry of War, will go there in person, and if you lose your defense, you won’t have to come back.”

The Minister of the Ministry of War did not expect it, he did not expect that Mu Yunjing would attack him first, but if he agreed now, he would lose his head now, so he quickly agreed: "My minister respectfully obeys the prince According to the will of the people, we will do it, and three days later, we will send troops to the border, vowing to defend the border, as long as the people are there, the people will die." Since he was forced to go, even if he was going to die, he had to die with courage, The Minister of the Ministry of War changed his previous cowardice. As a literati, he knew what integrity is. At this time, his awe-inspiring appearance made everyone silent, and everyone was in danger, fearing that he would be the next one.

Xiao Ling's father, Xiao Qi, was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War. If the Minister of the Ministry of War left, he would be the number one in the Ministry of War. Now he has put his heart in his throat, fearing that he will be the next one.Fortunately, Mu Yunjing didn't issue any other orders, so he hurriedly withdrew.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After retreating from the imperial court, Mu Yunjing came to the Imperial Study Room. In the silence alone, he suddenly thought of something and began to write a letter. After reading it once, he put it in a hidden compartment He knew that his letter would reach Lu Hongqing's hands tomorrow.Then you can act according to your own plan.

The next day, the army of Meng State began to march towards the capital of Meng State. Mu Lianlong was placed in a carriage. Although he didn't look so shabby, his body was restricted. They were all in good spirits on the road, commenting on the scenery on the roadside from time to time, as if they were out for fun, and specially placed Xia Ziying by his side, with Sun Sheng and other generals by their side, chatting and laughing along the way , very happy.

Xia Ziying remained silent all the time, and only when someone asked about her, did she reluctantly answer a few words. Meng Zhiqing looked at Xia Ziying as if she was unhappy, and asked, "Miss Xia, what's wrong with you? You never laughed all the way. Now, and absent-minded, are you still worried about what happened last night?"

Xia Ziying smiled wryly, and continued: "The young master has agreed to the little girl, I have nothing to worry about, but seeing that I am getting farther and farther away from my own country, I just feel a little bit of reluctance in my heart, young master, don't be offended. I didn’t say that Meng country is bad, but I just love my homeland, people are not grass and trees, so I still have some feelings.”

Meng Zhiqing looked at her, looked at her with admiration, and said lightly: "Actually, I understand how you feel, and you will get better after a while. I promise that when you see the capital of Meng State, you will feel better." You will forget all the unhappiness, the prosperity of Kyoto is very representative, and it can completely wash away the slightest unhappiness in your heart."

"Oh? Listening to what the young master said is so good, the little girl is really curious and really wants to take a good look." Xia Ziying continued following Meng Zhiqing's words.In fact, his heart was always on the carriage behind him. The closer she got to the capital of Meng, the more she worried that Mu Lianlong would not be able to bear it, and that something unexpected would happen to him.

"Don't worry, if the estimate is right, according to the current marching speed, we should be able to arrive when it gets dark. At that time, the father must have already set up a banquet in the palace, waiting to clean up the dust for us. Oh, haha, it’s been a few days since I left Kyoto, and I really miss it.” Meng Zhiqing said a little emotionally.

Seeing Meng Zhiqing's appearance like a shy big boy, Xia Ziying couldn't help jokingly said: "I really didn't expect that the young master is also a kind-hearted person. It really surprised the little girl, hehe, I can tell you, young master. He’s also a very kind person.”

Meng Zhiqing suddenly laughed and said: "Hehe, just like what you said just now, Miss Xia, people are not ruthless than plants and trees. We are all spiritual creatures that grow in the world, so naturally we have to face it with a grateful heart. Everything."

"If the son is in charge of the government in the future, he must be a good king." Xia Ziying said with a feeling in her heart.

"Haha, my son's mentality is actually very clear. In terms of experience, I am not even as good as a general, and in terms of talent, I am not as good as other people, but I was born in the emperor's family, and I was destined to take over this huge empire. .” When it came to this point, Meng Zhiqing said a little ashamed.

Xia Ziying also sighed psychologically. In fact, what he said was not wrong at all. In terms of Meng Zhiqing's current appearance, he is really not a qualified king. He has too many emotions, too much compassion, and also has the weakness that many people have. Well, if such a person stepped onto the dragon chair in front of him, it would actually be a tragedy in itself, but this was a fate he could not escape, and he had no choice.There was no way out, looking at him now with a sunny face, chatting and laughing happily, and pointing Jiangshan vigorously, Xia Ziying suddenly had a feeling of sympathy in her mind.

"Miss Xia, what are you thinking?" Meng Zhiqing asked suddenly when he saw Xia Ziying seemed to be in a daze.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Xia Ziying asked hastily after recovering.

"The frontier is the border of my Meng country. You have to appreciate it carefully. What is the place in front of you?" Meng Zhiqing asked pedantically.

"Where?" Xia Ziying asked curiously.

"Hehe, the most famous Qilin mountain in our country is ahead!" Meng Zhiqing said proudly.

"Kirin Mountain?" Xia Ziying asked curiously.

"Hehe, you must be wondering why it is called Qilin Mountain. There is a very beautiful legend about this mountain. It is said that this mountain was called Wuming Ridge at the beginning. When I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, I lost my name to Sun Shan. I felt ashamed to see my folks and elders, so I came here and decided to live here forever. He worked day and night in the fields, and was seen by the female mountain god of this mountain. He admired him a lot. So she turned into a human form and came to help him. Day after day, they gradually developed feelings for each other. When the heavenly court wanted to summon her back, she was already in love and couldn't extricate herself. She was pregnant, and finally gave birth to a child without telling Tianting, and hid in this mountain, and was taken care of by young people. The goddess was summoned back by Tianting, and finally Dongchuang incident was discovered, and Tianting knew about it. The son is a unicorn, who will guard this mountain from generation to generation." Meng Zhiqing stopped suddenly when he said this.

Xia Ziying widened her eyes, looked at Meng Zhiqing in front of her, and continued to ask: "What happened later? Could this mountain be called Qilin Mountain just because of this?"

Meng Zhiqing smiled faintly, "Of course not. Later, when this child grew up, he didn't do evil because he was a monster unicorn, nor did he become depressed. Instead, he guarded everything here and completely built this mountain. The patron saint of my mother has done the work of my mother before, and has made more achievements, and has been respected by the world. So this mountain was called Qilin Mountain." After Meng Zhiqing finished telling the story, he suddenly smiled wryly, and continued: "Every time I pass by here, I'm thinking about it, thinking about meeting this unicorn who has been burdened by my parents, but has never been humble."

"Is there really a unicorn here?" Xia Ziying asked curiously.

Meng Zhiqing laughed immediately when he heard her words, "You are really stupid, you didn't listen to me that this is just a legend, how can you take the legend seriously."

"Oh, yes, it's just a legend." Knowing her innocence, Xia Ziying felt ashamed and self-reflected.

Seeing her wronged look, Meng Zhiqing continued: "Okay, after listening to the story, you should also understand the origin of this mountain. Are you interested in going down to have a look?"

Xia Ziying was surprised when she heard it, "Can I go down?"
