I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Mu Mingtang still stood still looking at Xie Xuanchen's departure direction, and couldn't bear to stagger at a glance. The young wives of the Xu family turned their faces away to wipe their tears. Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "It's windy outside, please come back."

After Xie Xuanchen left, Mu Mingtang stayed at Xu's house temporarily. The life of Xu's family is indeed very lively. Every day when Mu Mingtang wakes up, people come to play with her until she goes to bed at night, and the schedule is endless. The Xu family has many sons and marrying women. Most of these women are daughters of military commanders. Although they are gentle and hearty, they don't have any thoughts to get along with each other and get along very well.

The daughters of the Xu family who have not yet come out of the pavilion also like to come to Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang has been trained by the Jiang family and has been a princess in Tokyo for two years. The experience is far beyond those young girls who grew up in Zhongshan City. She sometimes instructs the Xu family to embroider or write, and when they return home, their mothers will find out, and will thank them again for coming back.

This is the case with Lady Xu. Mu Mingtang heard Lady Xu cherishly thank her. She was surprised for a moment, and then smiled: "Ms. Xu is serious, and I can’t help others. Pointing Six Girls’ embroidery is just It's just a matter of effort."

"For the princess, it is a simple task, but for me, it is a great kindness." Lady Xu Da's expression was still very solemn and said, "Liu Niang is about to discuss marriage, and I will not hide the princess. We are a military general. , My daughter is very troublesome to discuss marriage. Civil officials look down on it, and I am really distressed when I remarry into a military commander’s house. Now this is just the beginning. The Beirong people tear up the agreement, and there will be wars in the next few years. My father and brothers are both military men. After I got married, the Xu family has also been in the army for generations. In these years, my mother and husband have treated me well, and the concubines are also easy to get along with. I really shouldn’t be dissatisfied with the reasoning, but every time they go out on patrol in the morning, I always I'm afraid I won't see my husband and son anymore."

Mu Mingtang heard a sigh. She couldn't understand this feeling better. The Xu family's life is very warm, and the Xu family treats her very well. They are afraid that she will be uncomfortable alone, so they will change their ways to make her happy. But Mu Mingtang's heart never truly felt peaceful.

She couldn't help calculating every day, where did Xie Xuanchen go and whether he would be in danger. A slight change in the weather made her panic. Mu Mingtang fully understands the feelings of Lady Xu, and also understands the feelings of Lady Xu not wanting to let her daughter marry a soldier.

However, there is a clear distinction between civil and military affairs. Zhu Yanghong was promoted to the Privy Council and entered the imperial court in a serious manner. His daughter could not say a decent marriage in the capital. The Xu family is still in Zhongshan, and the difficulty of discussing marriage is even more imaginable.

Mu Mingtang could only sigh about this, and said with relief: "The sixth girl is still young, so don't worry about the big lady. Look at each other slowly over the years, maybe the fate will be there anytime."

Why didn't Mrs. Xu know that Mu Mingtang was comforting her, she sighed and said, "I hope so."

After she finished speaking, Mother Xu was straightforward, and said: "Liu Niang grew up in Zhongshan City. From the outside, she has given her the face of Xu's family. The family is full of boys, and her uncles and brothers also spoil her. She is indulgent like a leather monkey. I have tried to control her several times, but I am not good at writing, and I am powerless. If the princess does not want to waste time, I am willing to mention her a little bit, and the concubine is grateful. No matter what the princess has in the future If you need it, just open your mouth, and the concubine is here."

"The big lady is serious." Mu Mingtang quickly declined. She also sighed slightly, and said: "I am actually not good at writing and ink, far inferior to the prince and other official ladies. Since the eldest lady does not dislike, I can let six girls come to me in the future, as long as I can, I will not Keep it and do your best."

Mother Xu heard that she got up and saluted: "Thank you, Princess!"

Mu Mingtang hurriedly stopped: "The big lady is not allowed, please get up quickly."

The maids also stepped forward and pulled Madame Xu, but Madame Xu insisted on saluting, and said to Mu Mingtang, "Thank you, Princess. The kindness of the princess, I cannot remember."

"What are you talking about? I'm borrowing from the Xu family. Mrs. Xu and all the ladies are very kind to me. I should be grateful to you. The prince always admires the Xu family very much, saying that the Xu family of Zhongshan is full of heroes. , Is the model of the world."

Lady Xu didn’t know whether this was true or false, but she couldn’t help but smile when she heard Mu Mingtang’s mouth: “It’s not an honour to be able to get King Qiyang’s words. Go back and let my boys hear it. I guess I’m so happy to be able to go to the house."

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu was taken aback: "Oh, look at me, always forget. It should be called An Wang."

"It's okay." Mu Mingtang didn't care much about the title. King An was the emperor, but King Qiyang was shot by Xie Xuanchen himself. He became famous in the first battle in Qiyang, and the title of King Qiyang originally meant military exploits.

Although King Qiyang is only the prince of the county, and King An is the prince, who is one level worse, Xie Xuanchen himself prefers the title of King Qiyang.

Mother Xu didn't worry about this topic anymore. She was overwhelmed and said: "It's hard for the princess to be so kind to me. I don't know what the princess can use for me, just say it straight. "

Mu Mingtang thought for a while, and really remembered one thing: "Does the big lady know how to ride a horse? I always wanted to learn how to ride a horse. When I was negotiating a peace, I was moved to learn how to ride a horse with the princess of the Tayan tribe. Later, I lost it. , Horse riding has been delayed."

Mother Xu was taken aback when she heard it, and she laughed heartily: "What's the problem? The princess is asking the right person. Our family can't do anything else, but there are a lot of people dancing swords and guns. My body has grown old in recent years. Not as good as young people, but the other siblings are good at them. The third siblings are good at whiplashing. The fifth siblings used guns from their ancestors. Sometimes even the fifth siblings can’t be compared to the fifth siblings. The sixth siblings are good at riding and archery. Even the fourth younger siblings are weak, but there is no problem getting on the horse. If the princess doesn't like Liuniang's frizziness, she can also look at the horse for the princess."

Mu Mingtang was surprised, is she the weakest in the audience? Even looking at the weakest lady Xu Si, she can also shoot arrows.

Mu Mingtang was a little bit sad, even if she couldn't match Xie Xuanchen in civil and martial arts, she was crushed by everyone when she arrived at the Xu family. Enduring grief, she nodded and said, "I have a lady. I don't know anything. Any lady who is free, just come and point me to one or two."

Mu Mingtang's intention was not to make a big fuss, so as not to cause trouble to the Xu family. Unexpectedly, the next day, all the women in the Xu family would come to teach her horse riding.

Mu Mingtang was watched by the crowd, his whole body stiffly supported on his horse. The enthusiastic ladies gathered around, twittering to point out her wrong posture, and where to use what skills. Later when Mrs. Xu heard the movement, she came out on crutches to see her.

Mu Mingtang was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to move his hands and feet. After tossing for a long time, he didn't even dare to drive.

Later, Xu Wuniang looked anxious and brought out his horse to demonstrate to Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang studied very hard, and finally managed to take two steps by himself.

Mu Mingtang had a sore back all day, but he was rewarded. She went to learn horses again the next day. She was trying to mount the horse by herself when she suddenly heard movement outside.

Mu Mingtang looked back and asked, "Who's here?"

Xu Wuniang didn't look back, and said with a grin: "Well, it's those people who go back and forth in border areas."

Instead, the weak lady Xu Si sent a maid out to ask. After a while, the maid came back, followed by the heavy-faced Lady Xu.

Mu Mingtang knew something had happened as soon as she saw Lady Xu's expression, she immediately got off the horse and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Wuniang and Xu Siniang also came around: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Empress Xu's face was deep, and she whispered: "Princess, the court is here."

Mu Mingtang was stunned when he heard the news, and immediately reacted: "Is it because of the prince, or me?"

Ms. Xu Da thinks that she is from Tokyo, and her response is quick. She sighed and said: "I don't know. The imperial messenger is still talking to her father, Dalang and the others, and her mother saw that in addition to the imperial messenger, two Beirong people had actually come. She was afraid of something wrong. So I sent me to inform the princess, and quickly take the princess to avoid her."

Mu Mingtang understood the importance, she nodded and said, "I see. There is a lady."

Xu Wuniang and Xu Siniang hurriedly accompanied Mu Mingtang to leave. They sat in the room, closed the doors and windows, and called in several martial arts women. After a while, Mrs. Xu sent a woman to send a letter to Mu Mingtang and the others: "The princess, the big lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady."

Lady Xu asked: "What did the imperial messenger say?"

Mu Mingtang, Xu Siniang, and Xu Wuniang also stared at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law sighed and said: "The messenger said that the emperor has agreed to hand over five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver to the Rong people. Yan still refused to withdraw his troops. The emperor had no choice but to agree to Yeluyan's request and ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan to Beirong, and immediately lifted all the military power of King An Xie Xuanchen."

"What!" Everyone in the room stood up in shock. Mu Mingtang was shocked and horrified when he heard that the three towns were ceded, "have we not let King Dongdan go as per Yeluyan's request? Why didn't he not Withdraw troops as agreed, but let the court cede the three major military towns?"

The old woman sighed: "The old slave doesn't know. The old general and the princes in the front hall have already quarreled with the messenger. The old lady was afraid that the princess would wait for a long time, so she specially asked the old slave to inform the princess. The princess prepares early."

Mu Mingtang reacted abruptly: "No, if Zhongshan Town is ceded to Beirong, wouldn't I be exposed?"

Lady Xu also reacted abruptly. Xie Xuanchen left Zhending Mansion. Yeluyan guessed that Mu Mingtang was no longer in Zhending. Most of them were in the towns of Zhongshan and Hejian. So Yeluyan wanted these three places as soon as he opened his mouth. Taiyuan resisted for a long time. Yeluyan held a grudge against Taiyuan, and Mu Mingtang was hidden in Zhongshan and Hejian. Once these three places fall into the hands of Yeluyan, there will be no barrier to the north of Ye Dynasty, almost exposed before the iron hoof of the Beirong people, and there will be no more self-protection. Not only that, Yeluyan could also use Mu Mingtang to blackmail Xie Xuanchen, in order to avenge Dongdan King.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was a huge cold feeling behind them. Xu Wuniang is anxious, and she goes out without saying anything at the moment: "Take my gun, I will kill those dog thieves!"

"Quickly stop her!" Xu Da Niang immediately sent people to stop Xu Wu Niang, Xu Wu Niang struggled hard and cursed: "This group of dog thieves, we were born here and died to guard the territory, and they would cut Zhongshan to Bei Rong as soon as they touched their lips. If Zhongshan falls. In the hands of the Bei Rong people, there is no way for the soldiers and civilians to survive! I killed these traitors!"

Xu Wuniang is so strong that the maid-in-law can hardly stop her, and Xu Daniang suddenly said: "Five younger siblings, that is the imperial court, do you want to rebel?"

Xu Wuniang calmed down by the words, and her tears couldn't help but fall: "What should we do then, could it be that we watched Zhongshan return to Beirong, and watched Goro's life destroy the foundation?"

Other people in the room also cried. Mu Mingtang was sad, they were here to give up their lives, but they did not know that when they desperately resisted foreign enemies, the court had already ceded them to the enemy.

They were still crying here, and suddenly a maid stumbled outside: "Wang Hao, you go quickly. Two people from Bei Rong insisted that they wanted to be familiar with the terrain, so they brought the imperial court to search behind."

Mu Mingtang was shocked, knowing that they were coming at her. For a moment everyone panicked, and the maids hurriedly said: "Wang Hao, what should we do? Shall we go?"

"What are you going to go?" Mu Mingtang said with a sullen face, "They all dare to come and search in the backyard. Wouldn't there be people outside? If we go out, we will be caught."

"Then what to do? The back house is so big, where can we hide?"

Mu Mingtang also felt at a loss, yes, she can't walk, can't hide, where can she go?

Xu Wuniang heard that people were sent to take her gun immediately and said: "Since the prince left the princess in Xu's house, he can trust our house. I died here today, and I will never let the Rong thief enter this door."

Xu Siniang, who had always been weak in writing, heard it and asked people to fetch weapons. Mother Xu sighed, patted Mu Mingtang's hand slightly, and said: "Wang Hao, don't worry, Zhongshan is the chassis of the Xu family after all. The court cedes the land to seek peace, I will never be Xu Jiaerlang."

They closed the door. Although the house was full of female family members, everyone had weapons in their hands. Xu Wuniang lay at the door to stop the movement outside, only to hear a few people rushing into the backyard, followed by many people, and the vague voice of Old General Xu: "Sir, this is the place where Zhuojing and his daughter-in-law live. Female dependents, it is inconvenient, please imperial adults not to be offensive."

However, the imperial envoy in the words of the old General Xu did not change after repeated persuasion. In the end, Xu Qilang couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Too much deception, do you really treat my Xu family without a man?"

Xu Qilang was young and vigorous, and he was always scolded by his father and brother, but this time Xu Qilang shouted at the imperial court, but no one in the audience stopped him. The atmosphere outside stood in a stalemate, and finally, a voice sounded: "The two warriors don't want to get angry, the Xu family is disrespectful to you, and the younger ones will teach them."

After finishing speaking, his voice immediately became arrogant to everyone in the Xu family: "Laughter! You, such as rude warriors, dare to be disrespectful to the imperial court? The saint himself made an decree to hand over Zhongshan City to the friendly Beirong. You want to resist the decree. Do you comply?"

Old General Xu and the others did not speak, and there was silence in the courtyard. Xu Wuniang in the room quietly clenched the weapon, and Mu Mingtang clenched his hand unknowingly.

There was a stalemate in the yard, and suddenly there was another noise from outside, probably because it was too quiet at the moment, and the sound of horseshoes even clearly passed into Mu Mingtang's ears.

Mu Mingtang stood up abruptly: "Lord?"

The people in the yard also turned their heads abruptly. Before one of the Beirong people could react, he was sealed with a sword. The imperial commissioner was startled by the horse that suddenly appeared, and hurriedly fell to the ground: "An Wanger dare! The Lord has ordered the removal of all your military power."

Xie Xuanchen rushed directly into the backyard on a horse, causing a lot of movement along the way. Fortunately, everyone in the Xu family was kung fu, and no one was injured at the moment. Xie Xuanchen originally took some people back to help the capital, but received an order on the way to dismiss him on the spot, and the three northern towns were also ceded to Beirong.

Xie Xuanchen laughed out of anger when he heard it. After he finished laughing, he tore up the imperial edict in front of the messenger, and then took the people back to Zhongshan.

What to save? This kind of emperor deserves to be killed by an outsider. If you want to cede the land and seek reconciliation, you have to see his permission.

The people underneath tacitly followed Xie Xuanchen on the return journey. Strangely speaking, their trip was to rescue the capital, but they returned without success at the moment, and they walked faster than when they came out.

Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen showed his face when he escorted Mu Mingtang to Zhongshan City before. His face was so impressive that Xu Silang, who was guarding the city, recognized it at a glance. Xu Shilang personally opened the gate to welcome Xie Xuanchen into the city.

Xie Xuanchen learned from Xu Silang that the imperial envoy and two Beirong envoys had entered the city, and without a word, he rushed directly to Xu Mansion. When he came in, there were no horses, so he rushed to the backyard and directly beheaded one of the Beirong people.

The imperial servant was frightened by the sudden change and his legs were weak. Xie Xuanchen rode on the horse, and when he heard the imperial servant's words, he gently curled his lips and smiled. When he laughed, he made a brilliant show, but the show suddenly became murderous. Xie Xuanchen pointed his sword at the imperial commissioner, condescendingly, and said: "You will be out, and you will not be allowed to do so. I just don't pay, how can you?"

Hearing Xie Xuanchen's voice, Mu Mingtang couldn't help it anymore, and he opened the door and ran out. There were so many people in the house without stopping her. Seeing Mu Mingtang running out, Xie Xuanchen immediately took the killing intent, jumped off the horse, and hugged Mu Mingtang firmly: "I'm back."

Mu Mingtang didn't expect that the reunion would come so quickly, let alone that the meeting would be under such circumstances. She hugged Xie Xuanchen, as if all her emotions had found an exit: "Are you hurt on the road?"

"No." Xie Xuanchen put Mu Mingtang down and gently combed the broken hair on her temple, "I won't lie to you this time, really no."

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, without turning his head back, he threw a dagger with his backhand and firmly nailed the other Beirong man who was trying to sneak away to the ground. The Bei Rong people wailed, clutching their legs, and shouted in unfluent Chinese, "You emperor of the Ye Dynasty has already ceded Zhongshan City to Dayong, and now this is our territory!"

Xie Xuanchen sneered, he let go of Mu Mingtang and whispered to her: "Close your eyes."

Mu Mingtang subconsciously covered his eyes, and then, hearing Xie Xuanchen's long sword, he drew out his sword and walked slowly towards the Bei Rong man: "Whose territory this is, it has never been up to you. I don't know this decree Admit it, I refuse to deliver."

After speaking, he pierced the opponent's throat with a puff. Xie Xuanchen drew out the sword, the blood of the Beirong people was still dripping on it, and pointed straight at the imperial envoy: "I think you are from the Ye Dynasty. Forgive you. Go back and tell Xie Rui, he Such a useless person does not deserve to be the Lord of the Great Ye."

After speaking, his eyes changed, and his murderous intent was surging: "Go away."
