I'm here to find my son

Nan Zimu's luck was very good this time, and the plan followed his ideas without much deviation.

That night, the army had just started dinner, and Khan took his cronies to the city by car.

The soldiers ran in and announced, "Your Majesty, the Hun Khan asked to see him, saying that he wanted a truce for both sides."

Nan Zimu grabbed Master Hou's wrist and said casually: "It's not important, we can talk anytime, but we have to have dinner."

"Yeah." Li Xingzhi used his other hand to grab the meat into Nan Zimu's bowl desperately, "They started this war first, and now they are the ones who say they want to reconcile, so let them go for a while, it's okay .”

Fenghuang curled his lips, and said dryly: "He put all the stewed meat in Nanzimu's bowl. That bowl suits my taste the most."

Hongyu is not surprised, although she is used to bickering with Nan Zimu, she still protects Nan Zimu in front of others: "It's good to get used to it, besides, the dishes on this table are all cooked by our adults, you Don’t talk too much if you have something to eat.”

Although Hou Ye was firm in his attitude, he couldn't stop Nan Zimu, so he had to let him go to harm the kitchen. Fortunately, there were a few cooks who helped light the fire and watched Nan Zimu's every move, so this time Nan Zimu was the whole person. Xu Quanwei came out of the kitchen.

"..." Fenghuang was taken aback and said in disbelief, "He Nan Zimu can also cook?"

Nan Zimu slightly raised his eyebrows: "What's your opinion? I haven't seen pigs eat, but I've always seen you eat. So there's nothing wrong with cooking."

Fenghuang: "What kind of metaphor are you talking about? But the cooking of this dish is really... amazing. I think you didn't do it when the Emperor of Heaven advised you to study and learn to read, but now you actually learn to cook."

"We grown-ups are also learning to read and write now." Hongyu was very proud, "It's really incredible. I wouldn't dare to dream like this before."

Fenghuang sighed with twists and turns: "Oh, people who have families are different."

The two of them were chatting, when the mountain god burped suddenly, and Phoenix glanced at his rice bowl, and said in a rather gloating tone: "It's all finished so soon? You know, we gods are not like mortals, we eat it." How many cans will grow as much meat..."

"You're the only one with a mouth, right?" Nan Zimu didn't want to listen to this after he was full. He patted his stomach lightly, then half-closed his eyes in satisfaction.

After Nanzimu regained his godhead, he won't be hungry anymore, so he doesn't have as good an appetite as before. However, if he cooks something by himself, the mountain god always feels that the taste is different, and he will subconsciously eat it. Eat a lot.

"Master Hou, are you full?" Nan Zimu asked.

"Yeah." He had stopped chopsticks for a while, but Nan Zimu didn't seem to have had enough, so Master Hou kept silent.

Nan Zimu stood up and stretched his waist: "Then let's go, after finishing Khan's vote, Lord Hou's doom will probably come to an end."

Li Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh.

After a while.

Khan has already been invited to the hall, Master Hou walked over with a smile on his face, slightly raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side of the main seat: "Khan, sit down."

A Hun translated it for Khan. After listening, he nodded and sat down with a smile.

Li Xingzhi and Nan Zimu began to drink hawthorn tea for digestion after meals, only to hear the Huns say in a non-standard Central Plains saying: "Our Khan said, 'Prairie people don't like to beat around the bush. Both of us have been injured, and the people are the victims in the end. I believe that neither of us wants to see the scene of corpses lying all over the field, so I think we should talk about the issue of reconciliation and truce."

Li Xingzhi sneered: "Why don't you think about it first, who started this war first?"

After the Huns translated it for him, Khan showed anger: "That's because we were deceived by you Central Plains people. You are doing this just to catch me all in one go. It is really sinister!"

The Huns continued to translate.

Li Xingzhi and Nan Zimu looked at each other, and they knew each other. It seemed that Khan thought he was cheated by Song Yili and them.

It's meaningless to whitewash yourself in this discussion, so Master Hou didn't want to explain.

"Does the Khan think that he is a victorious country and came to negotiate terms with us?" Li Xingzhi said in a deep voice, "This Marquis hopes that the Khan can understand the current situation, you are not the one who can shout here. "

When Li Xingzhi faced outsiders, his aura was still very strong.For example, Hou Ye didn't still have hundreds of thousands of troops, but on the surface he pretended to be very confident.

Khan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then, tell me, Lord Hou, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Li Xingzhi smiled with a bit of seriousness: "First of all, how many soldiers and civilians were lost in this war, you Huns must pay for it? Also, since the people of the Central Plains claim to be elegant people, they will naturally not force you to sign What overlord's treaty, so - second, we will still open our borders, and trade and commerce will remain normal, which will not be harmful to you Hu people or us Central Plains people."

"And you have to allow us to set up a small government to protect the rights of our Central Plains caravans in your place." Hou Ye paused, and then said: "Thirdly, there can be no more wars between our two countries. bit period."

Nan Zimu continued: "So we sincerely wish you a hundred years of good life."

Huns:……

He was not quite able to translate the words of these two people word for word, but at least he explained the general meaning.

Khan thought for a moment after hearing this, and if Heaven/Chao opens his mouth now, then they, as turtles in the urn, have no room to refuse.It's just the indemnity and the settlement in a small government, everything else remains the same, Li Jing's conditions are not excessive at all.

"Tell him." The Khan said to the Huns, "Our Hu army will withdraw from the Central Plains immediately, and the Japanese Khan will entrust envoys and tribute to send the money if there is no money."

This matter was uncovered so simply. After the Hun army retreated, Lord Hou was a little top-heavy.

Ordinary people are really too small. In this short period of time, he has experienced countless life and death, big and small. In every battle, the Marquis has put the lives of himself and countless soldiers on it.

I didn't expect it to be solved so easily now.

Nan Zimu hooked Li Xingzhi's finger and said softly, "I'm a little sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

"En." After Li Xingzhi finished speaking, his whole body suddenly fell down, and he just lay down on the ground in a quite peaceful posture.

"Li Xingzhi!" Nan Zimu squatted down, touched Lord Hou's breath, his pupils shrank suddenly, and found that he was out of breath.

The mountain god was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Li Xingzhi must have returned to the sky, because Nan Zimu couldn't even perceive his soul now.

The Huns have retreated.

Nan Zimu was not in a hurry to go back to the sky. If news was released at this time that the future emperor had died suddenly in the army, it would probably cause panic again.

After thinking for a moment, the mountain god hid Hou Ye's body, then changed himself into Hou Ye's appearance, and returned to the capital.

On the way back to Beijing, a large group of common people lined the road to greet them. Some threw flowers and handkerchiefs on the carriage where Nan Zimu was, and a few simple common people wanted to throw melons and fruits on the carriage. Fortunately, they were all killed by soldiers in the end. They stopped in time.

Nan Zimu took the bronze mirror and looked at it for a long time, then went to ask Hongyu, "How is it, do you look like him?"

Hongyu didn't even look at Nan Zimu who was facing Li Xing's face, but said helplessly, "Like, like dead. My lord, how many times have you asked this question all morning?"

"But I always feel that something is different." Nan Zimu paused, and then asked, "Hmm...do I look haggard?"

Hongyu: "Very haggard, looks like dying."

Nan Zimu said with satisfaction: "That's good."

As soon as "Li Xingzhi" returned to court, most of the ministers who usually disliked him now put on a hypocritical face, surrounding Li Jing and flattering him.

However, Li Jing seemed to be very tired. After coughing a few words, he said to the ministers: "This Marquis has suffered a lot of injuries during this expedition. I'm afraid I will live up to the late emperor's last wish. Hmm... …Sixth Emperor Uncle is capable of literature and martial arts, if he can sit on the throne, he should be even better than this Marquis."

In fact, Nan Zimu didn't know if the sixth prince could do it, but he seemed to have heard Li Xingzhi briefly mention it before, saying that the sixth prince was smart, but he was honest and ambitious, but he couldn't do things like seek power and usurp the throne, so he was always quite honest. .

Of course the ministers would not do it: "No, Lord Marquis, it was clearly written in the last emperor's last edict that it was intended to pass on to you. Besides, you defeated the Huns, and the people believed in you, so this throne really must be yours." Ah."

Nan Zimu covered his mouth, then coughed violently for a while, and naturally vomited a mouthful of blood.

Everyone panicked.

Nan Zimu didn't take it seriously: "Look, this Marquis is running out of time, otherwise, why would he hand over this beautiful river and mountain to others? The sixth uncle is honest and honest, and this Marquis believes that he can be competent...cough cough... "

"This Marquis is going to take care of himself for the elderly. Maybe he can live a few more years if he is not the emperor."

This time the officials had nothing to say, they could only watch Hou Ye, who was only in his early twenties, go home to take care of himself, and then help the sixth prince to take the throne.

Dusk the next day.

Nan Zimu stood in front of Lord Hou's mansion, suddenly not knowing what to do next.Cheng Yaoying was dead, and Li Xingzhi and Wang Dahu had passed the tribulation smoothly, Hongyu had her own protection, so there would be no serious problems.And Song Yili...Song Yili has been imprisoned in Jingyang Palace, and will go to the execution ground tomorrow.

As for Song Yili's family, Nan Zimu didn't care too much. Anyway, the new emperor won't tolerate people who have the heart of treason.

In the past, those days passed like a revolving lantern. In a few months, when the snow melts and the ice melts, it will be another brand new year in this world.

"Nan Zimu, if you don't go back yet, the Heavenly Emperor is looking for you, saying he wants to see his grandson." Fenghuang said hastily as he fell to the ground suddenly.

As soon as Nan Zimu turned around, he had already changed back to his own face. He picked up Xiao Huanxi who had just bought candied haws with Hongyu, and disappeared in a flash.

When the mountain god reached the sky, Li Xingzhi was already waiting for him in the main hall. Nan Zimu smiled at him, and then put his joy on the ground: "You suddenly fell to the ground and died. You scared me to death."

The Emperor of Heaven felt happy when he saw the child from a distance. He showed a benevolent expression, bent down and waved to Xiao Huanxi: "Come, come to grandfather."

Nan Zimu lightly touched Xiao Huanxi's head: "Go, look at your poor grandpa, it's the first time you have a grandson in your life, we are good boys, please scratch your grandpa a few more times, so that he can enjoy the family bond happy."

"Hey, you really are." The Emperor of Heaven hugged Huanxi into his arms to play, looked left and right, but couldn't get enough of it, he said with emotion, "If I had known about such a grandson, I would have gone down and picked up you father and son." You have come back, and you have suffered so much with Jing Xuan."

"After the fact." Mountain God concluded.

The Emperor of Heaven began to pinch Huanxi's round face, having a great time playing: "Huanxi is not very like Jingxuan when he was a child, but he can do whatever he likes, anyway, he can't be ugly anyway."

"Hey, my good grandson, why do you look more and more likable? Grandpa will take you to pick peaches and eat them, okay?"

……

Huanxi was so annoyed by the Emperor of Heaven that he hurriedly asked his father and father for help, but Nan Zimu and Li Xingzhi only cared about their own romance and had no time to talk to him.

The Emperor of Heaven said to Nan Zimu: "Zi Mu, why don't you let Huanxi stay with me today?"

Nanzi Mule felt at ease without having to take care of the children, so he agreed without thinking about it.

joy:……

Help, he just wants to go home!

"Then father and father will leave first, you and grandfather have fun." Nan Zimu took Li Xingzhi's hand and walked out of the hall.

Xiao Huanxi cried and mourned, being rubbed in the arms of the Emperor of Heaven, unable to struggle.

The two passed by Jingxuan's residence on the way, and Nan Zimu had a little impression, so he asked him, "Is this where you live?"

"Yeah." Li Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and recalled, "I saw you at the gate of this hall at that time."

At that time, my little three-legged crow ran out. You didn't pay attention to your feet and accidentally stepped on its head. You picked it up in shock.

I was so young at the time that I almost cried when I saw this scene.Then you tilted your head, smiled apologetically at me, and asked, "My child, is this three-legged crow yours?"

I nodded, and you said, "Sorry, I didn't see it."

My tears could not be stopped, so you ran over to comfort me and said, "Hey, kid, don't cry... What is a three-headed black bird? Come to Zhongnanshan tomorrow, and I will take you to catch shrimps to play with." .”

I said, "It's a deal."

You said: "Let's pull the hook."

Nan Zimu lightly hooked Li Xingzhi's little finger, and then covered his thumb, smiling brighter than the sunny sky above the heavenly court: "Let's pull the hook—children, you must love me forever."

Li Xingzhi covered his thumb very cooperatively: "It's a deal."
