The rivers and lakes are full of local tyrants

In the imperial study room, Mu Hanye was flipping through the memorial, and frowned slightly after hearing the news, "Haunted?"

"Didn't King Anping mention this?" Shen Qianling asked.

Mu Hanye shook his head, "Never before."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room fell into silence.If what Wu Shan said is true, then the commercial routes in the Western Regions have been blocked for some time.Such a big event, King Anping never reported it, no matter from which aspect it doesn't make sense.

Mu Hanye's expression darkened as expected, and he sent his servant to summon Mu Lieyan.

"Hey, go in and wait behind the screen." Qin Shaoyu patted Shen Qianling.

Shen Xiaoshou was speechless, it was unreasonable for his man to be jealous.

Madam's expression is really distressing... The dark guard rolled up his sleeves ferociously, ready to rush up to fight the palace master at any time, very loyal.

Qin Shaoyu glanced at everyone coldly.

My mother-in-law was terrified.The mascot of the rivers and lakes trembled, and immediately began to fan the wind with his hands. They all said that it was so hot in the imperial study room that it didn't feel cool when they rolled up their sleeves. We all wanted to go topless.

Shen Qianling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned around to go behind the screen—even though she couldn't see outside, she could hear everything, so it didn't matter.

"Brother Wang." A moment later, Mu Lieyan followed the servant to the imperial study room, and when he opened the door, he was shocked to see a crowd of people standing inside.

Mu Hanye sat on the dragon chair and looked at him without saying a word.

Mu Lieyan's heart beat like a drum, and his face turned pale, feeling that his whole body was going to be bad.This kind of look, don't say that he really intends to send himself to the state of Chu to be imprisoned.

"What's the situation with the commercial routes in the Western Regions?" After a while, Mu Hanye finally spoke.

"West, trade routes in the Western Regions?" Mu Lieyan was taken aback when he heard the words, and what Qin Shaoyu said before quickly flashed in his mind that he wanted to send a "useless relative of the emperor" to Chu as a hostage.So now I take it for granted that this must be Mu Hanye's test of his knowledge and whether it is useful.

But... it's really useless!Beads of sweat oozed from Mu Lieyan's forehead, he hesitated, and he didn't say a single word for a long time.

But his appearance clearly had another meaning in Mu Hanye's eyes, he just thought it was the business route in the Western Regions, so he slapped the table in a rage, "Say!"

Everyone in the room didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and they were all taken aback. Even Shen Qianling behind the screen almost choked on the tea.Not to mention Mu Lieyan, his head was blank and his knees were weak, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", completely unaware of the reason for all this.

Mu Hanye's face was gloomy, the room was completely silent, it seemed that even the air was frozen, only the chattering of Mu Lieyan's teeth could be heard.

The dark guard shook his head in his heart, so it is said that the nine sons of the dragon are all different.Although they are all members of the Mu family, except for the faint resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes, this person does not have half the shadow of King Qijue.

Shen Qianling listened behind the screen for a long time, but didn't see any movement outside. Just as she was thinking about whether to go out to smooth things over, Mu Lieyan suddenly said loudly, "The commercial road of the Western Regions is on the west of the border of Qijue, winding through the Atana Desert. It is connected to Luocha Huikan and other countries in the north, and its status is extremely important."

Shen Qianling was stunned for a moment, wondering what time it is, why is he still doing geography fill-in-the-blanks.

The hidden guard also had some monks Zhang Er, thinking that the little prince has lost his mind without scaring him?

Mu Hanye frowned, "And then?"

"Then, of course, then... I really can't remember. I have never heard a whole verse in my master's class. Brother Wang, please forgive me." Mu Lieyan cried bitterly, "As long as I don't send me to the state of Chu as a hostage , I will definitely study hard in the future, and I will never play tricks again...Brother Wang, you will test me in three months..." I was so sad.

Qin Shaoyu suppressed a smile, and narrowly glanced at Mu Hanye.

Mu Lieyan almost fainted from crying.

Faced with such an oolong, Mu Hanye was a little dumbfounded, "Get up first, sit and talk."

Mu Lieyan's knees were weak, and the dark guard stepped forward to help him up, took a chair and stuffed it under his buttocks.

"Is there anything unusual about the trade routes in the Western Regions recently?" Mu Hanye asked.

Mu Lieyan hurriedly shook his head, "No."

Mu Hanye sneered, "You don't think twice."

Mu Lieyan quickly put on a thoughtful expression, shook his head after a while, "No."

The dark guard held his forehead, it's rare to be so stupid.

"Really?" Mu Hanye asked again.

I don't know either.Mu Lieyan really wanted to go to the latrine, and said with a sad face, "I never asked my father about this."

Mu Hanye shook his head, casually poured a cup of herbal tea to relieve the fire.

"By the way, last month a group of businessmen from the Western Regions came to the barracks to make trouble. It seems that they lost their goods in the desert." In order to show that he is actually useful, Mu Lieyan finally thought of something.

"Merchants from the Western Regions lost their things and went to the barracks instead?" Mu Hanye frowned upon hearing this.

Mu Lieyan nodded, "It's absolutely true, I heard it with my own ears."

"And then?" Mu Hanye asked.

"Then my father sent me away." Mu Lieyan said honestly, "Master is still waiting for me to go back to class."

Mu Hanye raised his head and exchanged glances with Qin Shaoyu, feeling that something was wrong.The military camp is not an escort agency, so what does it have to do with merchants losing their goods?

"Brother Wang." The atmosphere in the room was strange, Mu Lieyan called out cautiously, feeling a little weak.

"After coming back this time, apart from that letter, did Uncle Wang say anything to you?" Mu Hanye continued to ask.

Mu Lieyan shook his head, "There's nothing else. My father seems to be very busy these days and has no time to talk to me. He even asked me to stay with my mother for a few more days and go back in autumn."

At this time, it was only just April, and the beginning of autumn in August, so it was too far to stretch a pole.Shen Qianling frowned slightly, was this intentional to drive his son away?

"Go down first." Mu Hanye didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes." Mu Lieyan stood up and said anxiously, "Do I still have to go to Chu State?"

Mu Hanye raised his eyes and said, "Look at your recent performance."

Mu Lieyan nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I must have performed very well recently."

Mu Hanye waved his hand and sent him away.

Shen Qianling came out from behind the screen and said to Mu Hanye, "What do you think of King Qijue?"

"At the beginning when Ah Yan went to the border gate, it was because he was too domineering in the city that Uncle Wang called him to discipline him personally." Mu Hanye said, "In the past two years, although Ah Yan would sneak back every now and then, but at most ten times a time. One day, someone from the barracks will come to pick him up, let alone three to five months."

"So, King Anping sent him back on purpose this time?" Shen Qianling asked.

Mu Hanye nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Blocking the business route and not reporting it, ignoring Ah Yan, unlike Uncle Wang's character, there must be something hidden in it."

"Why don't you write a letter and ask?" Shen Qianling suggested.

"Since it's intentional, what's the use of writing a letter." Mu Hanye stood up, "I want to go to the border in person."

Qin Shaoyu nodded, "I'll accompany Brother Mu."

Mu Hanye smiled, "Thank you."

No thanks at all!The dark guard clenched his fists in his heart, as a decent family, we have always been so chivalrous, you can feel it a little bit.

Now that you have made up your mind, there is no need to delay too much.Three days later, Qin Shaoyu and his party set off for the border sunset city together with Mu Hanye.

Shen Qianling has never been to the desert since the last Western Expedition.After walking out of the Qijue King City this time, seeing the boundless yellow sand, I felt much more refreshed.

"Run for a while?" Qin Shaoyu asked him.

Shen Qianling nodded, her smile was warm and pure under the setting sun.

As a result, Qin Shaoyu's heart also softened. After hugging the person tightly, he flicked the horsewhip with one hand, and Treading Xuebai immediately left the string like a sharp arrow, and rushed forward with all four hooves in the air with a long hiss.The northwest long wind that has been silent for thousands of years blows across the cheeks, as if it can dispel all the haze.

In the carriage, Mu Hanye lowered the curtains, and said contemptuously, "I'm used to being aggrieved in Sichuan on weekdays. I guess I can't even find a flat place to run a horse."

Huang Daxian was funny, "The majestic king of a country also likes to gossip behind his back?"

"How could it be behind the scenes, I told Ah Huang upright." Mu Hanye took a bowl of white fungus soup and fed it to him spoon by spoon.

Although Huang Daxian wanted to eat it by himself, but considering his bad taste, he still reluctantly accepted it, so as not to extend all kinds of strange demands.

In fact, for this operation, Mu Hanye wanted to keep Huang Daxian in the palace and not bring him out. After all, his body was poisoned and weak, so he should take good care of him.But in the end, he still didn't hold back, so he had to agree to go with him.

He couldn't bear to say no at all, he really had the potential to be a fool... King Qijue shook his head.

The journey in the next few days was extremely smooth—in fact, it was hard not to go well. Firstly, it was within the territory of Qijue Country, so few people would dare to rob Mu Hanye’s holy driver; secondly, even if they really wanted to rob the holy driver , also consider the accompanying Qin Shaoyu and Shen Qianling.With the addition of these people, the combat power is estimated to break through the sky, and only a fool will hit the knife edge, not to mention the Phoenix who can only shoot thunderbolts.

Just listening to it makes me pee.

Fuqiu lay in the arms of the dark guard, sleeping soundly with his mouth open, looking a little stupid.The big phoenix hovered in the air, as gorgeous and glamorous as ever.

It really is a brother.The dark guard gives full play to the potential of the brain-dead fan.It looks exactly like my young palace master.

"Chirp!" Furball kicked his paws in a daze, flying ninety thousand miles in his dream.

Very cool.

It was almost twilight that day, and everyone finally arrived at Sunset City.The red clouds in the sky reflect the blue city wall, which is indescribably majestic and magnificent.

"See Your Majesty." King Anping had already led his troops outside the city gate to welcome them. All the black armored cavalry were solemn and dignified.

"Excuse me." Mu Hanye took Huang Daxian and got off his horse, "Are you all right, Uncle Wang?"

King Anping frowned, pointed to his throat, and glanced at the lieutenant again.

"Return to the king, the prince has recently contracted a cold and cannot speak." The deputy general hurriedly explained.

Shen Qianling has been curious all the way, and finally saw King Anping at this time, he was about fifty years old, his hair was a little gray, his face didn't have any wrinkles, his face was full of red, and his figure was burly. people.

"Have you ever seen a military doctor?" Mu Hanye asked.

"I've seen it, and prescribed the medicine." The deputy general said, "I've only taken it for two or three days, and I guess it hasn't worked yet."

"Uncle Wang must take care of his health." Mu Han said at night, "The safety and security of my Qijue country's borders all depend on Uncle Wang alone." This statement is somewhat exaggerated. As a king, it is naturally impossible to entrust all the burdens to him. the same person.But people always like to hear good things, so King Anping's face became more ruddy.

Sunset City was originally just a small village. Later, due to its important military position, Mu Hanye ordered King Anping to lead his army to this place, and built this Qingshi City with massive construction work.Different from ordinary cities, nine out of ten people living in Sunset City are officers, soldiers and their families. Affected by military discipline, the atmosphere is much more serious.

Since Mu Hanye didn't bring many people with him this time, he didn't go to the post house and lived directly in the Anping Palace.After driving for several days in a row, Shen Qianling only felt a sore waist and back pain, and when he entered the house, he lay sprawled on the bed, humming like a pig.

Qin Shaoyu was amused, and sat up holding the person.

"What do you think of King Anping?" Shen Qianling wrapped his arms around his neck.

"We just met, and we didn't even say anything, so what can we do?" Qin Shaoyu pinched his nose, "Ling'er won't do the math for me."

"Don't make trouble." Shen Qianling knocked down his hand, "It just so happens that you can't talk right now, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"What do you say?" Qin Shaoyu raised his eyebrows.

"If King Anping really did something behind the scenes, no matter how full the lie is, if you say a few more words, there will definitely be flaws. According to the shrewdness of King Qijue, it is impossible not to see it." Shen Qianling said, "And want to The easiest way to not show off is to pretend that you can't speak."

"Do you suspect that he is pretending?" Qin Shaoyu said.

"It's not that I doubt it. I've heard a lot about him along the way, and I always feel that he should be a hero." Shen Qianling said, "If I really doubt it, I will go and talk to King Qijue, and I won't just tell you."

"There is something wrong with a hoarse voice at this time." Qin Shaoyu said, "But you and I can think of it, and Brother Mu must also think of it. We are guests, so it is inconvenient to interfere too much."

"Yeah." Shen Qianling nodded, "I do have medicine for my throat. Brother Ye gave it to me, and one pill is enough."

Qin Shaoyu's eyes are meaningful.

Shen Qianling was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Infected with wind and cold, it will also make your throat hoarse!" It's not the only possibility of being dumb.

What the hell is that look.

His man is a rogue!

"What medicine did Ye Jin give you?" Qin Shaoyu picked him up and let him sit on his lap.

"I want you to take care of it." Shen Xiaoshou hummed.

"Say." Qin Shaoyu poked his belly.

Shen Qianling itched to hide for a while, and then said seriously, "No medicine."

Qin Shaoyu: ...

"It's true." Shen Qianling took out a small bottle from his sleeve, "This is it."

"What are you doing with this thing!" Qin Shaoyu was frightened and furious, and he still carried it with him.

"Hit hooligans." Shen Qianling said, "Brother Ye taught me that if you meet a disciple, you will slap him in the face, and a bottle will wither for at least two years!" It is cruel.

"Confiscated." Qin Shaoyu took it away without any explanation.

Shen Xiaoshou tried to snatch it back, but he must have failed.

"If someone dares to covet you, I will castrate him naturally. It's your turn." Qin Shaoyu threw the bottle to the guard outside the window, "Put it away for Ling'er."

"Yes." The dark guard took out a piece of cloth and rolled it up, and didn't feel relieved until it was confirmed that it would not leak out.

What Guzhu Ye is researching every day, it is simply cruel, comparable to Zuo Hufa.

Shen Qianling protested silently in her heart.

"Hey, don't take this kind of thing next time, and you don't know martial arts, what if you get on yourself." Qin Shaoyu wiped his hands for him.

"How can I be so stupid!" Shen Xiao was furious.

"Of course Ling'er is not stupid." Qin Shaoyu kissed him, "Take you for a stroll around the city?"

"It's getting dark, where are we going to go shopping?" Shen Qianling was in high spirits, hurry up and return my poison!

"Let's go to see the stars." Qin Shaoyu said, "The terrain here is high, and we can see the brightest Milky Way."

Shen Qianling: ...

It sounds like a bit of a ballsy romance.

"Are you going?" Qin Shaoyu asked.

Shen Qianling nodded happily.

Qin Shaoyu smiled, took a cloak casually, and led him out of the palace.

On the other side, Mu Hanye was flipping through files in the study.

The border was colder than Wangcheng, Huang Daxian helped him put on some clothes, "It's already very late."

"Tired?" Mu Hanye shook his hand.

"Not tired, just to remind you to go to bed early." Huang Daxian sat beside him, "What are you looking at?"

"The latest daily file." Mu Han said at night, "I want to see if there is anything unusual."

"And then?" Huang Daxian asked.

"I haven't found anything yet." Mu Hanye put the book in his hand back on the table, "According to Uncle Wang's style of doing things, this is expected."

"Then what should we do now?" Huang Daxian asked.

"Being dumb at this moment, there must be something wrong." Mu Hanye smiled, "But this is a good thing."

"Good thing?" Huang Daxian was puzzled.

Mu Han said at night, "Uncle Wang is an old fritter, but the people around him may not be."

Huang Daxian understood, "Do you want to start with the lieutenant general?"

"Liu Zhen has been guarding the border for many years, and he knows as much as Uncle Wang." Mu Hanye said, "And the most important point, I may have some concerns when I ask Uncle Wang, but it's different if I ask him."

"In this case, why does King Anping pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Huang Daxian couldn't turn the corner. "Since we have all come to the border, it is impossible to ignore everything. Even if he doesn't want to talk, he can't stop you from asking others. . ” And asking others may be able to ask more things, so what is the point of not speaking?

"Maybe there are some things that are hard for him to say, or maybe he is really suffering from the cold and can't speak." Mu Hanye said, "But it's too early to make a conclusion, at least we can talk about it tomorrow."

"En." Huang Daxian nodded.

"Go to bed first." Mu Han said at night, "I'll come back to accompany you after I finish reading these files."

"Not sleepy." Huang Daxian sat on the side, "You go about your business and don't worry about me."

Mu Hanye sighed with satisfaction, "Ah Huang is really obsessed with this king."

Wong Da Sin: ...

Mu Hanye suggested again, "How about Ah Huang grinding the ink for me?"

Huang Daxian was puzzled, "You don't need to write, what do you do with ink?"

Mu Hanye said enthusiastically, "I heard that there is a saying in Zhongyuan that Hongxiu adds fragrance."

Huang Daxian stood up resolutely, "I'm going to bed first, you—"

"I will definitely go back to my room earlier!" Mu Hanye interrupted him with bright eyes.

Huang Daxian turned back calmly, "I mean, you don't have to come back tonight."

The handsome Qijue King was hurt again.

Huang Daxian opened the door and left the study.

"Chirp!" The fur ball fell from the sky and just fell into his arms.

Huang Daxian was startled at first, then laughed, "Where did you run from?"

"Chirp!" Furball's hair was disheveled, pointing in the air angrily.

The colorful phoenix spread its wings and flew across the sky, cutting a beam of silvery white moonlight into pieces.

Fuqiu waved its short wings angrily, I can fly too!

Huang Daxian rubbed its head and carried it back to the bedroom.

The hidden guard sighed on the roof, and the days of being homeless and sleeping around began again... The young palace master is simply pitiful.

I don't know where the lady went.

"Ah!" Shen Qianling sneezed.

"Cold?" Qin Shaoyu put on a cloak for him.

Shen Qianling shook her head, and sat shoulder to shoulder with him on the sand dunes to watch the stars.

"Do you still remember when we went to the enemy camp in Mobei together in disguise?" Qin Shaoyu squeezed his fingers.

"Yeah." Shen Qianling sighed, "Time flies so fast, it seems like what happened yesterday."

Qin Shaoyu said, "At that time, I thought that if I came to the desert next time, it would be for drinking and admiring the moon, but I didn't expect it to be because of trouble."

"It's actually not bad." Shen Qianling hugged his arm, "At least now I can be quiet and not think about those messy things."

"Do you regret it?" Qin Shaoyu asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Shen Qianling was taken aback.

"I regret staying for me." Qin Shaoyu looked at him.

Shen Qianling shook her head, "Never."

Qin Shaoyu chuckled, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "Good boy."

Shen Qianling closed her eyes and leaned against him lazily.

The moonlight is bright and clear, giving everything in the world a silvery white brilliance.In this environment, love words are always more gentle, so Shen Xiaoshou was laid flat on the sand without knowing it.

Qin Shaoyu turned over and pressed down, bowed his head and kissed the light-colored lips.

"You wait a moment!" Shen Qianling pushed him away vigorously, and said vigilantly, "It's just a kiss, right?"

Qin Shaoyu laughed, "Is it still possible to bargain at this moment?"

Why not, you rascal!Shen Qianling was very serious, "I'll touch your stomach at most." It's already bottom line!

Qin Shaoyu shook his head, "Not enough."

Shen Qianling earnestly said, "You can't be too greedy, have you ever heard the story of a snake swallowing an elephant? There used to be... well!"

"Once upon a time there was a little goblin." Qin Shaoyu untied his belt, "I didn't practice well in the middle of the night, so I sneaked out to have fun."

Shen Xiaoshou's grief and anger, it's clear that you are looking for fun!

"It looks like a goblin." Qin Shaoyu pinched his cheek.

Young man, you really ask a lot!Shen Qianling thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at him.

Qin Shaoyu: ...

Shen Xiaoshou's eyes are very serious, and you didn't say that it must be a vixen. It's not wrong to say that it was a man-eating fairy just now.

Qin Shaoyu spread out the bearskin cloak and hugged him up.

No wonder, since the weather is not too cold, why did I bring this with me when I went out? It was planned in advance!

Shen Xiaoshou was furious.

If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have come!

It's really a disadvantage.
