Before Xin Yueming could react, Jiang Qianqian hurriedly asked Jiang Lingdao, "The five great families besieged Wuweizong? Why didn't we get any news?"

Jiang Ling's face was not very good-looking. In his heart, Wuweizong is the remnant of the Demon Cult. Jiang Qianqian and Jiang Shuihan shouldn't be so close to Mr. Wu Nian, "Father won't let me tell you."

Hearing what Jiang Ling said, Xin Yueming now has a solid foundation in his heart. It seems that Song Tingchuan has long understood that the spearheads of the five aristocratic families will be aimed at himself and Wuweizong sooner or later.

Seeing Jiang Shuihan and Jiang Qianqian's worried eyes, Xin Yueming smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"How can nothing happen?" Jiang Qianqian said, "If something really happened to Song Tingchuan, what should you do?"

"As long as he is still alive, nothing will happen." Xin Yueming said softly, "Don't worry, I will be fine."

Jiang Qianqian wanted to say something, but Jiang Shuihan gently stopped him, "He said so, don't worry."

"Okay." Jiang Qianqian nodded obediently, stood behind Jiang Shuihan, and looked at Mu Xi who was silent at the side, "Thank you." It may be because Mu Xi saved her, and the emotions that she was not used to Mu Xi before faded away Not a lot.

"You don't have to thank me." Mu Xi didn't seem to care about Song Tingchuan's life or death, turned around and asked Xin Yueming, "Tonight is the birthday banquet, and King Qi will also be here, will you come?"

Yue Zhenyu who was beside him smiled at Mu Xi, "Xiao Mu, this is my birthday banquet, you decide the guests so easily?"

"You don't want him to come?" Mu Xi asked back, "That's fine, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to see King Qi."

"Don't, don't, don't." Yue Zhenyu really had no choice but to say to the only granddaughter, "Let whoever you want come."

Xin Yueming smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

Talking like that, wasted most of the time.It just so happened that Yue Zhenyu brought Mu Xi to the Zhaixing Pavilion for lunch, except for Meng Shidu, everyone followed Yue Zhenyu into the private room for dinner.

"Is it okay to hang him outside alone?" Jiang Shuihan took the opportunity to whisper to Xin Yueming, "Although he is a member of the imperial court, it is impossible to say what his purpose is."

From the corner of Xin Yueming's eyes, he happened to catch a glimpse of Meng Shidu who was walking out alone, with an unclear expression in his eyes, "Marquis of Wu'an, what do you think is the reason for living such a useless life?"

Jiang Shuihan froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not favored."

"Not favored?" Xin Yueming shook his head and said, "He is the only son of Marquis Wu An. No matter how much Marquis Wu An doesn't like him, it is impossible for him to do anything to him."

Jiang Shuihan didn't understand why Xin Yueming mentioned this, and asked in confusion, "So?"

"This man is very interesting."

Xin Yueming smiled, then looked away, leaving Jiang Shuihan thinking in place.

It's not surprising that Meng Shidu hooked up with the five great families, but what was strange was his reaction when he learned about the relationship between King Qi and Song Tingchuan.He was clearly ordered to cooperate with the five great families, so King Qi should be very aware of their relationship, but judging by Meng Shidu's expression, this matter is not that simple.

Jiang Shuihan looked at Xin Yueming's walking figure, subconsciously grabbed Xin Yueming's arm, "Wait a minute."

"What?" Xin Yueming smiled and looked back at Jiang Shuihan, "?"

Jiang Shuihan's eyes were full of confusion and questions, but when he looked into Xin Yueming's smiling eyes, he lost the courage to ask.

He let go of his hands alternately, as if he had put down something, and said softly, "That's all."

Xin Yueming only felt that the person in front of her didn't have any expression, but it made her feel distressed.With a slight movement in his mind, he grabbed Jiang Shuihan's hand that was about to let go, "It's not convenient now, I'll go back to my room at night, and I'll explain it to you bit by bit."

His flat voice was like a warm spring, pouring drop by drop on Jiang Shuihan's hope that he was about to dry up. It was obviously just a simple sentence, but it surprised and delighted Jiang Shuihan.

Jiang Shuihan suppressed the faint throbbing in his heart, lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Xin Yueming laughed and turned behind him, pushed his shoulders and walked in the direction of Yue Zhenyu, babbling non-stop, "I'm too old. Still throwing temper tantrums like a child? It's not that I don't want to talk to you, I just wanted to talk Long, this kind of place is not convenient, so just ask if you want to ask.”

"I haven't." Jiang Shuihan blurted out, "You're overthinking."

Xin Yueming stared at his side face with a smile, sighed, and said, "Yes, yes, I was thinking too much. I couldn't hide my thoughts and wanted to tell you."

"You two are as slow as snails." Although Jiang Qianqian was complaining, but there was no emotion of complaint on her face, instead she was full of joy, "What are you whispering?"

Jiang Shuihan's face turned hot, and he retorted, "It's because he walked too slowly." Before he finished speaking, he regretted seeing Jiang Qianqian's smiling expression.

Xin Yueming behind him looked like it was all my fault, nodded and said, "That's right, I walked too slowly. I'm sorry big guy."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuihan's face became hot. Fortunately, he was not a person who blushed easily, but the blushing ears exposed his predicament at the moment.Xin Yueming looked at Jiang Qianqian in front of her eyes, then at Jiang Shuihan's bright red neck, and sighed secretly.Xiaohan is still the same as before, a few simple jokes can shame him to death.

Xin Yueming wanted to say something else, but for some reason, he suddenly lost the interest in teasing Jiang Shuihan when he was a child, so he had to shut up and push Jiang Shuihan forward.

When the two entered the room, Yue Zhenyu had already sat down, and Mu Xi sat aside, introducing Jiang Qianqian and Jiang Ling for Yue Zhenyu.For General Yue's deeds, Jiang Ling knew better than Jiang Shuihan and the others, so he was naturally in awe.Although Jiang Qianqian didn't know what admirable things this amiable old man in front of her had done, she was still respectful from the bottom of her heart.

After lunch, people from the general's mansion had already come to invite the old general back to the mansion. After all, it was a birthday banquet. Although not many dignitaries were invited, the mansion still needed to prepare for King Qi's arrival. It is best for the master to sit in town.

After carefully listening to the report of the General Manager's Mansion, Yue Zhenyu's eyes fell on Xin Yueming, "You boy, would you like to accompany my old bone back to the mansion?"

At this time, even Jiang Qianqian, who had never cared about other things, was sensitive to Yue Zhenyu's high opinion of Xin Yueming intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuihan beside him.But Jiang Shuihan bowed his head uncharacteristically, as if he didn't care about this.Not far away, Xin Yueming looked surprised, but he was more delighted than surprised by Yue Zhenyu's personal invitation.

Jiang Qianqian saw that Xin Yueming was obviously very happy, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Shuihan's clothes corner under the table, and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, please say something quickly, otherwise what will the little brother do if this old general looks at him as his son-in-law?" ?”

Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. Mu Xi glanced at Jiang Shuihan with a clear face, Xin Yueming couldn't laugh or cry, she just felt that Jiang Qianqian was thinking too much, but Yue Zhenyu, He mistakenly thought that Jiang Qianqian liked Xin Yueming, but seeing Mu Xi's unhurried appearance, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

How could Mu Xi not know what the old man beside him was thinking, helplessly resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to bother outsiders with this kind of thing. Grandfather, you go back first."

Hearing what Mu Xi said, Yue Zhenyu had nothing to say, so he had to tell her to be careful, and then left with the manager.Without Yue Zhenyu, there was a relaxed atmosphere on the dining table, Jiang Qianqian was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Mu Xi was not interested in the little senior brother, otherwise, the third senior brother who had been struggling there would probably not be able to grab her.

"Why." Xin Yueming looked at the people with different expressions around him with great interest, and teased, "Just now he looked worried, but once the old general leaves, it will change immediately."

"The old general's aura is too strong, there's nothing he can do about it." Jiang Ling replied angrily.

Nonsense, he can talk about the deeds of old general Yue Zhenyu for three days and three nights, saying that he is the guardian god on the road leading to the Western Regions, the strongest general except An Yuanhou.This kind of god-like figure appears in front of you, can you be speechless without being nervous?

Jiang Qianqian wanted to laugh at him for being cowardly, but Jiang Shuihan nodded seriously to echo his words, "The old general's aura remains the same as before, and it is indeed respectable."

Jiang Shuihan's serious appearance made Xin Yueming almost laugh out loud, "It's not the same as before, Xiaohan, have you seen the old general's appearance back then?"

Before Jiang Ling was surprised by Xin Yueming's title, Jiang Shuihan said in a low voice, "Just the current demeanor, you can get a glimpse of it."

"The current style." Mu Xi said lightly, "It's just dying."

Jiang Ling looked at Mu Xi in amazement, his eyes full of disbelief, except for Xin Yueming who looked helpless and Jiang Shuihan who sighed slightly, who remained silent, Jiang Qianqian could hear clearly even though he was far away.

"He's your grandfather." Even knowing Mu Xi's background, Jiang Qianqian couldn't help crying out, but she lowered the volume under Jiang Shuihan's slightly stern eyes, "No matter what, you can't say that. "

Mu Xi was not angry, but said lightly, "No matter how tall he is in the eyes of others, he has sacrificed everything for the country, but in my eyes, he is an old man who is dying, and a cold-blooded animal who does not care about the lives of his relatives. "

At this moment, Jiang Ling suddenly remembered the rumors about the Northwest General's Mansion, and he had nothing to say to Mu Xi for a moment, and the atmosphere fell into a deadlock.

Xin Yueming coughed twice, and asked Jiang Qianqian, "Do you still want to take a stroll?"

Mu Xi drooped his head and shook his head, "I won't go shopping anymore." What if something happens again if I meet some nobleman or something?

"In that case, let's go to visit the mansion together." Xin Yueming said to Mu Xi with a smile, "Isn't it not welcome?"

"casual."

Xin Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't sure what Mu Xi was thinking at all.On Lingshan, no one dared to talk to the angry Mu Xi casually, especially when she thought of her parents.Because you don't know how much trouble your next sentence will cause, not to mention that no one except Song Tingchuan dares to control her.

When he asked that question just now, he was in a state of agitation. He was afraid that Mu Xi would have an attack. If he just refused to agree, then forget it. She might fight with you.Mu Xi's skills are much stronger than him, and his medical skills may turn into poison at any time, he can't beat Mu Xi who is in a rage.

"That's good." Xin Yueming stood up first, and said with a smile, "Let's go eat together."

No matter how low-key the Northwest General with outstanding military exploits spent his birthday, the emperor couldn't let him really keep a low profile. King Qi personally came to the door to give gifts, which made the whole Yanjing envious.The servants at the gate of the mansion were strictly required by the housekeeper to respectfully greet the guests invited by the general himself, but there were very few people in Yanjing who could receive the invitation, and most of them were stopped outside the door.

Mu Xi led Xin Yueming and the others to enter quietly through the side door, but the housekeeper had already waited for a long time, and took them to the front hall.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yue Zhenyu sitting in the main seat, and beside him was a noble-looking young man. Although he looked quite young, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes had already revealed the traces of time.

When everyone entered the door, he was picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table and taking a bite, the satisfied smile on his face was simply like that of a child.Before Yue Zhenyu could say anything, he turned his eyes around the faces of the crowd, first nodded to Mu Xi to say hello, and finally stopped on Xin Yueming's face.

Enveloped by the young man's gaze, Xin Yueming felt a kind of pressure for no reason, obviously this man's gaze looked very gentle and harmless.Xin Yueming frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her carefully.Mu Xi noticed that the eyes of the two of them were intertwined, so he stepped forward helplessly, blocking Xin Yueming with his body.

"Where's Miss Qing Huan?"

Facing Mu Xi's question, Su Jinchen raised his eyebrows and looked away, put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he had bitten into, slowly patted the crumbs off his hands, and said casually, "She'll come later."

"Oh." Mu Xi is not entangled with Su Jinchen's casualness, after all, she just asked casually, and the main purpose is not here, "You two had a fight." However, she will not give up on anything that can hit Su Jinchen.

It was obvious that Mu Xi had hit hard, and Su Jinchen obviously froze, and sighed, "Why are you so sharp at this time every time?"

While the two were talking, they were led to their seats by the housekeeper.Mu Xi sat opposite Su Jinchen, while Xin Yueming sat under Su Jinchen, facing Jiang Shuihan.

Su Jinchen rolled up his sleeves, and turned to look at Xin Yueming, "This one, must be Mr. Wu Nian."

"That's right." Xin Yueming raised his hand and made a virtual salute, and said politely, "Cao Min is attending His Royal Highness King Qi. I have heard the name of King Qi before, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."

Being scrutinized by Su Jinchen was very uncomfortable, Xin Yueming finally understood why Mu Xi turned into a peacock with fried hair when he met His Highness Qi Wang.So when answering Su Jinchen, Xin Yueming subconsciously mocked him.

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Xin Yueming's words, Su Jinchen waved his hands quickly and said, "Where is it, this king is not as good as the general."

"His Royal Highness King Qi can really beat this old official." Yue Zhenyu clapped his hands and smiled, "This old official can't compare to His Highness King Qi's good looks and handsomeness."

The two could not pretend to compliment each other as if they were disgusting, she rolled her eyes and asked Su Jinchen directly, "Stop talking nonsense, please tell me clearly, what's the situation with that Meng Shidu?"

"Meng Shidu?" Su Jinchen asked suspiciously, "Who?" He scratched the back of his head while speaking, his eyes were confused.

If he didn't know the prince too well, Mu Xi might be fooled too.

"Young master of the Meng family."

Hearing Mu Xi's lazy reminder, Su Jinchen finally put away his confused look, and said calmly, "I just sent someone to collect the taxes that the five great families have delayed the court."

"Tax collection?" Mu Xi looked around at Jiang Ling who was sitting at the end, and turned back to Su Jinchen, "Don't tell me that the five great aristocratic families evaded taxes, and forced you to send a third-rank official to collect it yourself?"

Su Jinchen spread his hands helplessly and said, "You still don't believe me when I tell the truth, what should I say?"

Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming's gazes missed in mid-air, but they already understood each other's thoughts in just a split second.If what Su Jinchen said is true, then Meng Shidu is lying.But Su Jinchen is not an ordinary person, and he may not be willing to tell the truth right now. I am afraid that the court has other ideas about martial arts.

I've been lazy recently, and it's really tiring to squeeze everything together.
