I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Jinyu was wrapped in a layer of dusty light armor, but he didn't look embarrassed at all. He sat upright on the tall horse's back. Except for his sharper and more majestic eyes, there was almost no change from four years ago.

Big teardrops fell silently along the corners of Song Peiyu's eyes, instantly blurring Song Peiyu's vision, but they couldn't stop him from walking forward.

After staggering two steps, Song Peiyu was held in his arms by hands that looked frail but full of strength.

"I thought you wouldn't cry." Song Jinyu's sighing voice reached Song Peiyu's ears, which made Song Peiyu cry even harder.

Song Jinyu took out a dusty handkerchief from the inside of the light armor, squatted down and wiped Song Peiyu's tears carefully, and coaxed him like a child, "Don't cry, please tell my brother if you have any grievances, and I will vent your anger on you!" .”

"I, I didn't cry..." Song Peiyu tightly grasped Song Jinyu's rough hand with one hand, and raised the other hand to cover her eyes that were still crying.

After enduring it for a while, she silently lay back on Song Jinyu's shoulder.

Riding behind Song Jinyu on horseback but being ignored by Song Peiyu, a completely green-clothed boy bowed his hands and saluted Song Jinyu on the horse, expressed apology with his eyes, and then rode the horse and left in the direction Song Peiyu had come from.

Only when the sun was left with the last ray of light, Song Peiyu held back the tears with his red and swollen eyes, looked at the wet marks on Song Jinyu's shoulders, and looked away awkwardly, facing the very black boy in brocade clothes he had seen before. Eye.

Song Peiyu: "..."

The green-clothed youth leading the horse next to the brocade-clothed youth took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Is this Uncle Yunyang's younger brother? Sure enough, seeing a hundred things is worth seeing once, and there is nothing better than Zhilan Yushu."

Song Peiyu imagined her own image at this time. She was wearing a khaki fine cloth jacket and gray cloth shoes covered in mud. Even if her face was not a cat, her eyes would be red and swollen.

This can be boasted, it is definitely a talent.

Song Jinyu let go of Song Peiyu without any embarrassment, and slowly tidied Song Peiyu's messy front and sleeves, got up and took Song Peiyu's hand, walked towards the two teenagers, and introduced Song Peiyu, "This is the third highness, and the one next to him is The eldest son of Nanqi Mu Clan."

Song Peiyu was confused when he heard it, but his movements were not ambiguous, and he greeted the two teenagers one by one.

The young man in brocade clothes nodded in return, and looked at Song Peiyu without any surprise. He lingered on Song Peiyu's red and swollen eyes for a while, his expression was difficult to distinguish, but he was definitely not happy.

The green-clothed boy, who was older than Song Peiyu, returned a peer salute, "Mu Qing, I haven't taken the characters yet, just call me by my name."

While speaking, Song Peiyu had already figured out the relationship between the characters. He still remembered that the stepwife of General Jianwei was from the Mu family of Nanqi. The prince who appeared after his eldest brother and the eldest son of the Mu family of Nanqi must not be the prince of Yan.

Then there is only one possibility, General Jianwei proclaims himself emperor.

Song Peiyu didn't want to be in the same seniority as Prince Gao, but fortunately, he was used to being in the same seniority as Song Jinyu, so he already had a set of strategies to deal with it, and said with a smile, "We have different opinions. I call you Brother Mu, and you call me Brother Sheng or Peggy will do."

After repeated refusals, Mu Qing complied, and Song Peiyu felt like a spring breeze in his words, without any discomfort.

When the group returned to Song's house, apart from several other concubines and familiar generals, there were also some people Song Peiyu had never seen before.

Song Peiyu hurriedly chatted with Yinbao for the reason of changing clothes, only to find out that Song Jinyu and his party rode lightly to Lihua Village in the afternoon, but there were distinguished guests with them, and Lao Meng and Song Jingjue went to Qingshan again. Bao couldn't get away, so he couldn't find him in time.

The Song family's guards blocked all the villagers who noticed the movement and came to watch the excitement. Jin Bao went to appease them once, and Song Jingjue went out to appease them again, before the crowd dispersed completely.

Song Peiyu deliberately took out his treasured spirits, killed chickens and caught fish, added fresh side dishes, and served dinner in the remote Lihua Village. It was unexpectedly rich.

Mu Qing kept in mind the strangeness of the Song family's seclusion in the small village, and found it very interesting. He made up his mind to take a good look around the village before leaving. , "Good wine!"

Chong Yi, who was eating next to Mu Qing, didn't even lift his eyelids, but quickly hid the empty wine jar behind the chair with his hands, and then naturally moved the unsealed wine jar next to Mu Qing's legs.

Song Peiyu gave up the main house to Chongyi and Mu Qing, and went to the old house of the squire with his brothers for a night.

With Song Jinyu around, no one stopped Song Peiyu from living in the main room of the squire's old house.

The two brothers changed into their pajamas with a proficiency that they would never have had before they parted, and lay on the mattress that Jin Bao had specially dried in the afternoon. Although the house had not been lived in for a long time, they did not feel damp.

Song Peiyu grasped Song Jinyu's sleeve with ease, and the unreal feeling faded a little.

Song Jinyu squeezed Song Peiyu's arms and calves, frowned slightly, and sighed, "The older you get, the less flesh you have on your body. Mother clearly said that you have not been so easy to get sick in the past few years. After all, this place is the delay." you."

However, Song Peiyu didn't accept Song Jinyu's words. When eating at night, he could hear that everyone accompanying him was in Kua Lihua Village. Although it was remote, it was unexpectedly rich and stable. It was a rare and blessed place.

"It's because I'm growing up. When I'm as tall as Brother Jue, I'll start to grow flesh." After explaining seriously, Song Peiyu said as if asking for credit, "Isn't Lihua Village not good enough? It's about to catch up with our house Zhuangzi."

Song Jinyu was amused by Song Peiyu's bright "come and praise me" on Song Peiyu's face, but she knew that Song Peiyu was careful and thoughtful, she was so thin, she didn't worry about the whole family, and she was worried about the front line, it really hurt her heart. Even though he was always strict, he would not be stingy with compliments at this time.

On the contrary, Song Peiyu was overwhelmed with blushing and dry ears after being praised, and asked the third prince and Mu Qing who lived in the main courtyard of the new house to change the subject.

Song Peiyu had to tell Song Peiyu about these things sooner or later. Seeing that Song Peiyu was so excited that she couldn't sleep, Song Jinyu simply started from the beginning.

Back then, General Jianwei turned his back on Emperor Yan because he had taken advantage of him. In addition, he had been operating in Youzhou for many years and secretly supported by a family like the Song family, which caught Emperor Yan by surprise.

However, after all, Emperor Yan justifiably owns Youzhou and Yizhou, and the amount of troops, horses, food and money he can dispatch is far from being comparable to that of General Jianwei, who can't even secure Youzhou.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, General Jianwei really suffered a lot, even his younger brother's only son was folded into it.

Fortunately, Emperor Yan's throne is already unstable. Apart from General Jianwei, there are naturally others in the court who are tirelessly looking for troubles for Emperor Yan. Having survived the hardships of the previous two years, the life of General Jianwei will be easier a lot.

Three months ago, General Jianwei completely drove the Yan army out of Youzhou.

One step forward is to march into the remaining Yizhou of Yan Kingdom.

The next step is to stop the war here, and if it is impossible to negotiate a peace, then the only option is to proclaim the emperor.

After a full two months of quarreling, General Jianwei made a final decision, made Xianyang the capital of Yonghe Emperor, and appointed all the officials to proclaim the name of the country as Zhao.

"Your Majesty lost his head because he wasn't able to secure Youzhou. Except for making his elder sister Princess Xihua and his younger brother King Su, the rest was only made Marquis for the father of the Empress Yuan, and the Patriarch Mu and I were able to be made uncles." Song Jinyu Speaking of which, when I think back to the reading of the imperial decree, everyone's expressions are a little headache.

These people are only willing to see that Zhao State suppresses Yan State so much that they cannot leave Yizhou. They can't wait to want power and wealth, but they pretend not to see that Youzhou has not yet stabilized completely. Once Youzhou changes, Yan State will definitely be the first Time is at war again.

General Jianwei proclaimed himself emperor, the war was temporarily suspended, and Song Jinyu was named Uncle Yunyang. The first thing to do was naturally bring his family to his side.

It happened that Emperor Yonghe planned to return to Xianyang after visiting various places, and Yang County happened to be on the route of Emperor Yonghe's inspection.

Now Emperor Yonghe is in Yang County, so there is not much time left for the Song family to pack their things. They have to leave for Yang County the morning after tomorrow at the latest, so as not to have to chase after Emperor Yonghe's sage.

"Then why did the third prince and Mu Qing come here?" Song Peiyu raised his head. If he remembered correctly, when the first prince and second prince were born in the Empress Yuan, Emperor Yonghe was fighting with Tuyuhun, and he didn't care about his family at all.The two children died before they were ten years old, and the Empress Yuan also had a dystocia when she gave birth to her third child, and she died twice.

Emperor Yonghe, who was still a great general of Jianwei, was very sad. He didn't remarry for five years, and raised his younger brother's only son under his knees, obviously training him as an heir.

Just now the eldest brother said that the son of King Su had died in the war with the Yan Kingdom, and the third prince born by Concubine Mu Gui is the eldest son of Emperor Yonghe in various senses, and with the Mu family of Nanqi behind him, it is simply a big trouble .

Song Jinyu's eyes turned deep, and he said lightly, "The third prince feels that it is quite boring to travel with His Majesty for days, and His Majesty wants the Third Prince to relax."

Song Peiyu stared at Song Jinyu with round eyes, not knowing where to start complaining.

He didn't feel at all that the third prince came to Lihua Village to relax.

Song Jinyu put his hand on Song Peiyu's back unconsciously, and patted him gently as if he was coaxing him to sleep when he was a child, "Sleep, don't think so much. When you arrive in Xianyang, you will see the head of the Mu family and Concubine Mu Gui. I know the unspeakable suffering of Your Majesty and the Third Prince."

After the great joy, after chatting with Song Jinyu in high spirits for so long, Song Peiyu, whose eyelids were still not fully swollen, couldn't take it anymore, but she was afraid that she was dreaming, so she insisted on talking more with her elder brother.

Now, after hearing Song Jinyu's deliberately lowered voice and the slapping behind him making people sleepy, he went to meet Zhou Gong in an instant.

Before losing consciousness, Song Peiyu's last thought was "there is a big brother, what is the head of the Mu family, Mu Guifei, and the third prince."Even if it is His Majesty, what does it have to do with him, after all, he is just a bastard. '
