The next day, Jiangxi Pei Qingshuang withdrew his troops as agreed, and Jinhua's emergency collapsed immediately.The Zhejiang sergeants who went to rescue stayed in Jinhua for a day. Seeing that the Jiangxi army had no intention of making a comeback, they received the express letter from Lin'an and withdrew their troops and returned.

Mu Bingci stayed in Lin'an and sorted out the number and rank of the officers and soldiers under Lin Youxian's command in detail. All the lieutenant sergeants at each school level were promoted to first-class titles.They also searched out Lin Youxian's family property and distributed it to Lin'an soldiers.First, win over people's hearts from the benefits, and stabilize the original team.

In the end, Mu Bingci promoted Gu Shaoting to the rank of general, replacing Lin Youxian.In order to help control the situation in Zhejiang.On the first level of consideration, Gu Shaoting was regarded as the hero in Zhejiang's battle, and he was the one who couldn't bear Lin Youxian's insult and took the initiative to seek refuge with Mu Bingci.Promoting him is an acknowledgment of his contributions.On the second level, Zhejiang retains the team of non-commissioned officers left by Lin Youxian. It is inevitable that there will be one or two false and submissive ones.With Gu Shaoting around, he will do his best to control the situation in Lin'an, because when he is in the highest command position, the situation in Lin'an is his own situation.

As for Lao Zhao, Mu Bingci Nian had been in love with him for more than twenty years and never killed him.Just imprison him and prevent him from making trouble.

In this way, at the end of January, Mu Bingci was free to return to Huizhou.After finishing Lin Youxian, Mu Bingci sent Mu Yang to Huizhou to deliver a message to his sister.

It has been a few days since Mu Chengshan passed away, and even Mu Bingci couldn't attend the funeral, so he was inevitably depressed on the way back to Huizhou.Mu Yang felt that after this incident, Mu Bingci seemed to have changed a lot compared to before, and his gaze was no longer so bright and clear, but rather an unreal guess.

Mu Qinxue has been staying in Huizhou for a long time, and finally learned that Mu Bingci was coming, so she simply postponed her trip back to Shanghai for a few more days, and had to wait until she saw Mu Bingci before she felt at ease.After receiving the message, I asked Mu Yanqiu to greet him at the gate of the outer city in person. I really waited eagerly.

Mu Bing resigned and went back with only Mu Yang and a dozen soldiers. He went outside the city gate and sat on the horse waiting for Mu Yang to report to the guards for Kaesong.Mu Yang came down quickly, followed by a group of cavalry with tall horses.Mu Yanqiu took the lead, passed Mu Yang and rushed in front of Mu Bingci, without caring about his status, jumped off the horse and reached out to grab Mu Bingci's horse by the bridle, beaming with joy: "Bingci, you are back! "

Mu Bingci, however, was very indifferent and alienated, sitting on the horse coldly without moving, and cast a high glance at Mu Yanqiu: "Mu Yanqiu, you are fine. I just came back to see Dad, it has nothing to do with you, don't you Pretend that I have a relationship with you."

Mu Yanqiu was suffocated by him: "Bing Ci—"

Seeing that the two of them were going to be stiff, Mu Yang hurried up to smooth things over: "Eldest young master, go home and talk about everything. These days, young master hasn't had a good rest and is exhausted."

Mu Yanqiu glanced at Mu Bingci immediately, and said distressedly: "Yes. Bingci has lost so much weight. Let's go, let's go home." Pulling the horse rope, he turned around and was about to leave.

Mu Yang hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Eldest young master, please clear the way ahead. I'll guide the young master."

Mu Yanqiu was taken aback.That's right, he is no longer Mu Bingci's entourage, not for a long time.But the things he once did for Mu Bingci, the habits of being attentive to him, seem to have grown into his blood and become an instinct.In fact, Mu Bingci's temper has always been so stinky, and his mind is full of bad ideas, and he is trying to instigate him to do some naughty things that will make him take the lead if he is found out.He knows right from wrong, but he is willing to say goodbye to Mu Bing like a deaf-mute, blind and idiotic.He became the most loyal believer of Mu Bingci, and he only had inexhaustible devotion to Bingci, but he never cared about what he got from him.

Maybe the believers don't want to ask for the gods, but they just don't dare.I am afraid that if I am too greedy, I will violate the sinful commandments and will tarnish my belief.

Mu Yanqiu got on his horse silently, and looked back at Mu Bingci surrounded by officers and soldiers.Facing the slightly haggard and indifferent face, he still smiled. "Go home!"

It was getting late when we returned to Shuai's mansion, and Mu Qinxue had already been waiting.As soon as he saw Mu Bing resigned from his horse, he came up and grabbed him with both hands, with a mix of sorrow and joy: "You little brat, I'm so worried about my sister. Why are you so thin and don't even shave your beard? look-"

When Mu Bingci saw his sister, he suddenly took off the cold and hard steel armor, and reached out to hug Mu Qinxue, his eyes flushed: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I never saw my father for the last time." On the one hand, I can’t even attend the funeral, I’m sorry for Dad and you.”

Mu Qinxue was moved to tears by his words, she shook her head and said, "It's better if you come back alive, it's better than anything else. This is the end, don't blame yourself. Dad won't blame you."

Mu Bingci gritted his teeth to hold back tears, and put his arms around Mu Qinxue's waist: "Take me to offer incense to Dad."

Mu Qinxue nodded, wiped away her tears and led him to the back room.Walking to the door, he turned back and said, "Yanqiu, you come together."

Mu Bingci said coldly: "No need. I don't want to breathe in the same room with the person who killed my father."

Mu Qinxue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, Bingci? The matter of father has nothing to do with Yan Qiu. He didn't kill father."

Mu Bingci sneered: "Sister, you are confused. For Dad, acknowledging the existence of Mu Yanqiu is a shameful thing for him. Mu Yanqiu would rather let Dad be ashamed than refuse to admit it. The arrangement of the ancestor returning to the clan. How do we know what Mu Yanqiu is thinking in his heart? Maybe something happened to his father, and it has nothing to do with Mu Yanqiu on the surface. But if Mu Yanqiu wants to die, let his father suffer , it’s not impossible. Otherwise, Mu Yanqiu, with such a great ability, could suppress Xue Qing so quickly after the accident, but why can’t he be more magical and rescue Dad earlier?”

Mu Qinxue took a deep breath: "Bingci, we can't guess without evidence. Dad has already promised to hand over the power of Huizhou to Mu Yanqiu, he doesn't have to."

Standing at the front door, Mu Yanqiu, hearing Mu Bingci's words, couldn't argue with himself, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Bingci—"

"Our family Yanqiu really doesn't need this!" Several people were talking, when a contemptuous and angry voice came from the stairs, followed by the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the stairs and quickly followed them down.It was Mu Yanqiu's mother, Sun Yiping.

"It's no wonder that the old man would rather recognize Yanqiu than pass on the family business to you, a prodigal son. You don't know what you did before, just like a stubborn monkey. The old man knows it well, you worry I don’t care about the big responsibility! You might as well just throw the family property into the river, it’s a waste of time! It’s because our family, Yan Qiu, has the ability, otherwise it wouldn’t be your turn to speak rudely here today, let Xue Qing go out early Feed the gun-"

"you shut up!"

Sun Yiping was talking vigorously, but was suddenly interrupted by Mu Yanqiu's angry shout.Mu Yanqiu suppressed his anger, his chest heaved deeply, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who the adoptive father's family property is given to, Bing Ci is the orthodox heir of the Mu family. You can't help but talk about it! You live your life well, family affairs Military power, there is no room for you to speak. You must take care of your identity and don't cause trouble for me outside!"

Sun Yiping was completely stunned.This son has been obedient and obedient since he was a child, where has he ever been so stubborn and disobedient?I thought that when he became the commander of the Mu family and gained such a large family fortune, he should be the empress dowager above ten thousand people.This is how many years she has endured to get to this position?But he didn't want Mu Yanqiu to be extremely indifferent to her after rectifying his name.Although he gave her the material comforts she wanted within his ability, he was extremely impatient with her in terms of attitude.

Now seeing him as a commander-in-chief, being humiliated by Mu Bingci in public, she just couldn't be more angry.Why can the Mu family brothers and sisters still press on her mother and son?Time has changed. Back then, she begged the siblings to accept her son as a servant in a low voice. Now she can order the siblings to get out of the handsome mansion.

However, Mu Yanqiu—Sun Yiping stared at her own son uncontrollably, was he stupid as a servant?I couldn't help being angry, wishing I could go up and give him a big slap in the face: "You bastard! Are you out of your mind? Now you are—"

Just like she used to scold him for more than twenty years.A vein twitched on Mu Yanqiu's forehead, and he waved back: "Come here, invite the old lady down. Set up a Buddhist hall in her room, so that the old lady can be quiet and peaceful."

The military guards took Sun Yiping away without hesitation.

Mu Yanqiu said: "Miss, please forgive me. You can resign with Bing and offer incense to the adoptive father. I'll come back later." Then he turned and left expressionlessly.

Originally, Mu Qinxue had arranged dinner and wanted Mu Yanqiu to eat with her.After all this fuss, Mu Yanqiu finally didn't come.Mu Qinxue sent someone to invite him once, but the servant said that the commander in chief was still busy, and told them to open the banquet first, knowing that Mu Yanqiu wanted to avoid seeing him, so he didn't force her anymore.

The two ate in silence in the small restaurant.Mu Qinxue said: "Bingci, my sister knows that you are angry. We can't speculate in vain about the previous incident. In the future, don't say such nasty things to Yan Qiu. Anyway, the Mu family's stall is on him. It's not easy for him either."

After listening to Mu Bingci, he was silent for a while, and asked back: "Why did Mu Yanqiu give all the stalls of Mu's family? Sister, is this really what Dad meant?"

Mu Qinxue said: "Yes. Dad and I don't want you to get involved in the military affairs. We intend to let Mu Yanqiu recognize his ancestors and inherit the Mu family business. So this is not Yanqiu's plan, so don't scold him anymore. .”

Mu Bing resigned: "So it's like Sun Yiping said, you all think I'm an idiot who can't help you, so the army would rather hand it over to Mu Yanqiu than to me? Is it not as good as autumn?"

Mu Qinxue said angrily: "Where did you go? Do you know how difficult it is to lead these huge and complicated troops? If you don't pay attention, it is a matter of life and death. Just like Dad—you said how could we have the heart to let you go?" Live like this?"

Mu Bingci said: "I know, you have always raised me like a waste, and you don't believe that I can also carry the burden of the Mu family. Don't you? If Dad never had such thoughts, he wouldn't Let Mu Yanqiu get involved. If it wasn't for Xue Qing and the others who refused to accept Mu Yanqiu's wild ways, they wouldn't have secretly murdered Dad. You think I'm a waste, but ended up killing Dad, is it worth it?"

The words made Mu Qinxue tearful again: "Everything is determined by fate. If Dad decides to give you the position of commander, Xue Qing and the others will not oppose it. It is just that you are not a threat to them and can coerce you Let you be obedient. How can such a puppet do it?"

Mu Bingci shook his head: "Xue Qing has been greatly harmed by his own self-esteem. I am not a fool, why can't I pick the leader of the Mu family? Sister, do you know that I am studying abroad, and I am based on the strategy of the cold weapon era. I graduated from the project. I have studied this. War is an innate thing in a man's bones. As long as you use your brain, how can it be so difficult?"

Mu Qinxue said with tears in her eyes: "My Bingci has grown up. It was my sister who always thought that you were still a child and wished to protect you. But now that Mu Yanqiu has just established a solid foundation, if you don't participate in the Mu family's affairs, It’s all right. I’m going back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, so why don’t you settle down with me?”

As soon as Shanghai was mentioned, Mu Bingci felt that he hadn't seen Jiang Chengyan for some time.He felt sore for a while, and felt sorry for Jiang Chengyan, so he just gave up on him.I had no choice but to comfort myself that there would be no shortage of people around Jiang Chengyan, wouldn't it be the same who would accompany him?Maybe he is not by Jiang Chengyan's side, and it is not necessarily true that he will have a new love soon.

Mu Bingci sighed, suppressed the pain in his heart, stood up and said, "I'll go find Mu Yanqiu."

The place where Mu Yanqiu works is Mu Chengshan's study in the past.Mu Bingci didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Mu Yanqiu sitting at the desk with something in his hand, he looked fascinated.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he suddenly came back to his senses, opened the drawer and put the thing in his hand.

Mu Bingci only vaguely saw a flash of glazed color between his fingers.

Mu Yanqiu stood up, the previous anger was gone, and he smiled at Mu Bingci: "Bingci is here. Have you had dinner? I haven't eaten at home for a long time, and the taste of the chef's cooking is still to my liking. ?”

Mu Bingci put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked slowly to the front of the desk, and looked at Mu Yanqiu eye to eye: "Mu Yanqiu, there are no outsiders here, so stop pretending to be a good old man. I came back this time for two One thing, one is to see Dad, and the other is to want you to give me back what should belong to me."

Mu Yanqiu said: "I am very sorry about the adoptive father. It is true that I did not protect him with all my heart. When the adoptive father had an accident, Lieutenant Lu Zhuo witnessed the whole incident. You may not believe what others told you. I He has already been called to come over, and let him dictate to you the details of what happened at that time." Speaking of this, Mu Yanqiu subconsciously flicked the handle of the drawer that was just closed, "What you said just now, I want to What do you want me to give you back?"

Mu Bingci sneered: "Mu Yanqiu, you are pretending. You said that your father handed over the military and political power of Huizhou to you. You are confident, right? Now that my father is gone, I use my identity as the only orthodox heir of the Mu family to order you to take Return the military power to me. Do you understand enough?"

Mu Yanqiu was stunned.He raised his eyes to look at Mu Bingci, and slowly tightened his lowered hands.Then he smiled and shook his head: "This is not acceptable. I can give you anything else you want. But the military power in Huizhou, no. I promised my adoptive father that unless I die, none of the seven southern provinces can be handed over to others. Including you."

Mu Bingci smiled angrily: "Mu Yanqiu, just trying you casually will show your wolf ambition. You look so upright in front of outsiders, and you actually scolded your own in order to defend me. Mother, now I ask you to give me the position of commander-in-chief, but you are reluctant to let it go. Why, do you really want me to kill you?"

Just as Mu Yanqiu was about to speak, a military guard knocked on the door: "Commander, Lieutenant Lu Zhuo has something to report."

"Let him in."

Lu Zhuo walked into the study with a straight body, first bowed to Mu Yanqiu, then looked at Mu Bingci, and nodded silently.

Mu Yanqiu said: "Lu Zhuo, tell Bing Ci the story of the assassination of your adoptive father in detail."

Lu Zhuo said: "Yes! At that time——"

Behind Mu Qinxue, a maid came up the stairs carrying a snack box.Just in time to see Lu Zhuo follow the military guard upstairs to Mu Yanqiu's study.He smiled and said to the servant girl: "There are guests here. Fortunately, I made some more, which should be enough to eat."

The servant girl smiled and nodded: "It must be enough."

The military guard was about to close the door and come out, but Mu Qinxue waved his hand to stop him.Immediately, he pushed the open door open and looked in, only to see the fingers of Lu Zhuo's habitually drooping left hand spread out, and a pocket-sized oval iron sheet fell from his sleeve and was held in the palm of his hand.He suddenly raised his hand, stretched out his right hand and pulled it violently!

Mu Qinxue had no idea about that thing at all, but instinctively screamed: "Be careful!"

Just when Lu Zhuo raised his hand suddenly, Mu Yanqiu and Mu Bingci woke up at the same time!Mu Yanqiu turned around suddenly with a lightning-fast movement, removed a black iron shield from the wall, propped one hand on the table and slammed it down, knocking Mu Bingci to the ground.While the shield blocked the two of them, Mu Yanqiu kicked down the desk and slid behind the bookcase in the corner with Mu Bingci.

There was a loud noise in the study!
