Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

When everyone was getting ready to go to the Muda Grassland to participate in the New Year's celebration, a small group of chariots and horses quietly left the royal court through a remote path, avoiding the eyes and ears of others.

The carriage galloped on the grassland, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating.Even though there was a thick layer of woolen blankets inside the carriage, the carriage was still very bumpy.Tuoba Hong sat leaning against the wall of the carriage, the round belly in front of him swayed along with the bumping carriage, seeing that Ming Heng was startled, his face turned pale with fright, he quickly opened the curtain and shouted to Wu Meng who was driving the carriage: "Slow down!" Slow down! Tuoba Hong can't stand it!"

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Hong tugged at his wrist, raised his voice and said to Wu Meng, "You can't slow down, just keep this speed, and reach Taze before noon."

Mingheng was angry and impatient, and couldn't help but said: "I know you are anxious, but you can't ignore your own body! You are safe now, it won't be a while!"

Tuobahong frowned, his face was a little gloomy, and he wanted to refute a few more words, but his stomach was dangling, and he was really uncomfortable, so he didn't take care of it for a while, so he calmed down the restless little guy first.

Seeing this, Mingheng hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, took out a small pill from it, stuffed it into Tuobahong's mouth, and ordered Wumeng forcefully: "Wumeng, slow down!"

Wumeng was worried that his own sweat would be unbearable at such a fast speed, so he slowed down the speed, and at the same time told his subordinates to continue to rush over quickly.

Seeing this, Mingheng was relieved, put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage, while gently stroking Tuobahong's stomach, he said in a soft tone, "Don't worry too much, Wumeng has already sent someone to take care of you." Hurry over, Zexi will be fine."

Only then did Tuoba Hong calm down, lying on the wool blanket and closing his eyes to adjust his breath.

Ming Heng sat beside him, watching him quietly.Suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats from behind the carriage, from far to near.Ming Heng was stunned for a moment, lifted the curtain of the car and leaned out to look behind him, seeing someone coming, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He sat back and told Tuoba Hong with a worried face: "Mo Jia has followed up on horseback, what should we do now? Do you want to find an excuse to drive him back?"

Tuobahong waved his hand, and said calmly: "It's useless, that guy is more stubborn than a donkey, even if you put a knife on his neck and drive him away, he won't leave. Forget it, let him go." .”

Ming Heng was still a little worried: "Is it true that we will just let him go? We are going to see Zexi, is it really okay to let him follow? What if he finds out? Or... has he already found out?"

"That's not likely," Tuobahong guessed, "probably bumped into us by chance and sneaked out of the palace. That guy wanted to find the truth from me, so he wished that a pair of eyes would grow on me, so he didn't have to spy on me." It's no surprise that he found it."

Mingheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and said sourly: "Then let him stare at you, you are the king of Yerou, don't you mean that if he stares at you again, you will cut off his head Gouging his eyes or something."

Tuobahong smiled and didn't take it seriously: "He can look at it if he wants to. He is a big man, and he will not lose a piece of meat at a glance. Moreover, I also want to see if this guy can find out the truth."

Ming Hengfu was in his heart, and he asked puzzledly: "Could it be that you also deliberately asked him to follow this time?!"

Tuobahong nodded, stroked his bare chin, and said with a smile: "This guy Mo Jia has amazing insights, maybe he can really see something."

Mingheng became more and more confused: "What on earth do you mean? Why do you want Mo Jia to know the secret between you and Zexi? What if he leaks it out? Do you still think that there are not enough people who hold the handle on you brothers? Bar."

Tuobahong opened the curtain and looked out at the calm-faced blond man not far away, hooked the corners of his mouth, put down the curtain, turned his head and asked Ming Heng in a soft voice: "Do you think Mo Jia will betray us after knowing the secret of our brothers?" ?"

"Uh..." Ming Heng scratched his chin, but he was not sure, so he blurted out a sentence, "You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart."

Tuobahong couldn't help but chuckled, shook his head and said, "I believe he won't."

Ming Heng became interested, and asked: "Are you so sure?"

Tuobahong nodded resolutely, pointed at Mingheng, and said with a teasing smile: "You also know the secret of our brothers, don't you go out and talk nonsense?"

Ming Heng scratched his face, still a little embarrassed: "How can it be the same, what is the relationship between us, and what is the relationship between Mo Jia and us."

"What's the difference." Tuobahong picked up a candied fruit and put it into his mouth, puffing his cheeks and said calmly, "Just replace me with Zexi and you with Mo Jiabu."

Mingheng lowered his head and digested the meaning of this sentence for a while, then raised his head suddenly, stared at Tuobahong in surprise, and shook his head in disbelief: "You don't mean to...Zexi Match it with Mogaralang!"

Tuobahong nodded calmly: "I mean that. Mo Jia has been with me for more than two years, and I still have confidence in his character. What's even more commendable is that his feelings for Zexi have always been very strong. Being firm is a good match."

Tuobahong spoke clearly and logically, but Mingheng felt that the other party was messing up the mandarin ducks, and couldn't help but said: "You didn't even ask Zexi's opinion before you decided on a lifelong event for him? Moreover, Zexi is not If you don't like men, don't meddle in them."

Tuobahong laughed, poked his cheek, and asked: "I just want to give Mo Jia a chance, not let them enter the bridal chamber tonight. Besides, how do you know that Zexi doesn't like men?"

"He told me personally." Speaking of this, Ming Heng remembered the embarrassing scene when he grabbed He Zexi's collar and questioned him angrily that day, and felt embarrassed again, but faced with Tuoba Hong's questioning silence He still endured the embarrassment and explained to him what happened that day.

Tuobahong was not angry when he found out, but instead lay on Mingheng's shoulder and laughed for a long time.Ming Heng blushed from his laughter, and stopped the other party with a stern face and no momentum: "Stop laughing! What's so funny!"

Tuobahong laughed until tears came out, and the child in his belly began to resist, so he rubbed his stomach and hissed inhaling, while wiping away his tears weakly.

After finally laughing enough, he finally stopped, let out a long breath, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really think he doesn't like men?"

Ming Heng was convinced, nodded and said: "Otherwise, he already said so."

Tuobahong patted his head pityingly, sighed, and spoiled and cruelly exposed the truth: "Fool, he doesn't like men, he just doesn't like you."

"..." Ming Heng felt an arrow in his heart.But compared to the distraught at that time, when he heard such a cruel truth now, his mood was unexpectedly calm, but he was a little depressed—is he really so unattractive?

But he glanced at Tuoba Hong beside him again, and soon he was relieved.I shouldn't be unattractive, otherwise a certain prairie overlord wouldn't tempt me frequently and would be willing to bear children for me.

Thinking of this, Ming Heng became elated again.

Tuobahong saw that he was sullen for a while and beamed with joy for a while, although he didn't know what he was thinking, but he looked cute, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching it.

Mingheng finally came back to his senses, took off Tuobahong's handbag and put it in his palm, and got back to the point: "You mean, Zexi is also a man you like?"

Tuobahong sighed, and said slowly: "It's not so much that he likes men, it's better to say that he has no desires or desires in matters of love, and he is happy with the situation. Whether he can meet someone he likes, whether that person is a man or a woman, he is indifferent .”

Listening to Tuobahong's description, Mingheng's happy and angry face of He Zexi flashed across his mind, and he felt that this was indeed the case.

Tuobahong sighed again, and continued: "This guy Zexi doesn't care about the important things in his life. If I don't give him a push behind him, he might end up alone all his life. His cold Temperament has to be tempered by Mo Jia's persistent and straightforward temperament."

Ming Heng doubted: "Can he polish it?"

Tuobahong smiled confidently, and said slowly: "Isn't there a saying in your Central Plains - strong women are afraid of pestering men. This saying also applies to men."

"..."

He Zexi was originally ordered to come to the Northwest to deal with the follow-up of the Chengzhou prefect case. Because the mission was not dangerous, he only brought a few servants with him.Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived in the northwest, he was assassinated by an assassin. During the fight, He Zexi discovered that the leading assassin was actually the bodyguard next to the fourth prince.

The number of servants brought by He Zexi was not many, and they were not professional bodyguards. They were no match for the assassination team sent by the fourth prince in all aspects.He Zexi survived under the desperate protection of his servants, but was stabbed in the chest by the leading assassin.

The He family had guarded the Northwest for many years. The brothers He Zexi and Tuobahong had followed their father back and forth between the grassland and Anling since they were very young. The Northwest is their second hometown, so they are very familiar with the terrain here.It was precisely because of this that He Zexi fled to the home of an old servant of his grandfather, and was lucky to escape the killer.

He Zexi stayed at the old Ministry's home for a few days to recuperate from his wounds. After the killer left, he hid in Taze with the help of the old Ministry, and then sent a message to Tuoba Hong with a carrier pigeon.

Ming Heng didn't know where Tuoba Hong was going. At the time when the situation was urgent, he followed Tuoba Hong into the carriage without asking anything.It was evening when they reached Tadze.The carriage arrived in Taze City and drove for a while before stopping in front of a solitary cabin next to the mountain.Several horses had already parked at the door of the cabin.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Tuoba Hong hurriedly got off the carriage, whispered a few words to Wu Meng, and entered the cabin.

Ming Heng hurried to follow, but found that Wu Meng did not follow, not only did he not come in, but also stopped Mo Jia, and forced him to set up the chariots and horses first.

Seeing this, Ming Heng felt relieved, closed the door and walked into the back room.

The cabin was quite spacious, with a big bed on one side of the wall, and He Zexi was lying on it, wearing a plain coat, with a face as pale as snow.

Ming Heng couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the injury was indeed serious.

Tuobahong's reaction became even more agitated, his eyes were about to split, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What's going on? Did that kid Mingzhe do your injury? I'll kill him right now!"

Mingheng: "..."

That kid Mingzhe... Seriously, Mingzhe is five years older than Tuobahong, yet he is called a kid... Ming Heng shook his head and smiled wryly, it seemed that he was really angry.

He walked over and patted Tuobahong on the shoulder, comforting softly: "Don't get excited, listen to what Zexi has to say."

He Zexi also held his younger brother's hand, for fear that he would run away if he disagreed with each other.His body was still very weak, but his spirit seemed to be good, and he slowly told the two of them what had happened in the past few days.

When Tuobahong heard that all the servants brought by He Zexi were killed, and he was stabbed in the chest, he almost ran away again, but fortunately, Ming Heng and He Zexi held him down.But even so, his expression is still fierce enough to tear people apart.

"That little bastard, I will definitely tear his mother's body into pieces!"

It was the first time for Mingheng to hear Tuobahong being rude. These days, he often heard those thick and thick men in the royal court say a few vulgar words when they got emotional, but Tuobahong was always in front of him. With a gentle appearance and gentle speech, I thought it was his nature.But it turned out that they were all disguised in front of him.

Seeing that Tuoba Hong was so angry that he almost forgot his current body, he quickly reminded: "Take it easy and be careful with the child."

Tuobahong was stunned, and then he realized that he was still carrying a child, so he calmed down a little.

Ming Heng also took the opportunity to ask He Zexi: "Why did my fourth brother chase you down?"

He Zexi fell silent, staring at Mingheng's handshake with his younger brother for a long time, and suddenly said something that shocked both of them.

"A few days ago, during the morning court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly passed out in the main hall without warning, and has not woken up to this day. The imperial doctor said that His Highness had a strange disease, and the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital took turns to see him, but they were helpless. His Highness the Crown Prince is now in critical condition. , the imperial doctor said, I am afraid that time is running out."

"What!" Ming Heng froze on the spot as if being hit on the head.

As a result, He Zexi said again: "In a short time, the East Palace may change hands, and the other four princes are now forming factions for the crown prince, fighting for blood. The court in Anling may be It's going to be a mess."

The author has something to say: Mingheng: The sky in Anling is about to change!

This article involves a little bit of the palace coup, just a little bit, everything is for Xiao Ming and Han Huan to live the rest of their lives in peace!If Anling doesn't change the emperor, brother and brother will never be able to recognize each other, can this be tolerated?I can't stand it!
