Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

King Su's words surprised everyone.

Ming Heng asked in disbelief: "Uncle Huang, are you sure that person is Musa? Could it be that he made a mistake?" It's not that he didn't believe the Uncle Huang, it's just that he couldn't believe that Musa entered and left the Anling Palace in a grand manner. He even had contact with his father.The grievances and grievances between Tuoba Hong and Musa have long been known in the world. Since I have been sent to Ye Ruo to get married, in the eyes of everyone, An Ling and Ye Ruo are already standing on the same front. To reach out to an ally's enemy?

Although King Su knew that Musa was one of the murderers who killed his friends He Jinnian and Tuoba Rongyu, he had never seen Musa with his own eyes, so he could not give a definite answer about the identity of the mysterious foreigner. It is also speculated based on the description of the Tuobahong brothers.

However, compared to King Su's hesitation, the brothers He Zexi and Tuobahong were extremely sure.

"Most people in Yerou have black hair and black eyes, but Musa's mother is from a foreign race in the Western Regions, so he was born with fiery red hair, and his pupils are relatively shallow. Moreover, Yerou had a relationship with Musa's people a few years ago. After the war, when Han Huan confronted Musa, he cut the corner of his eye with a knife, and since then a deep and long scar has been left on the corner of his eye, from the corner of the eye to the side of the ear." He Zexi said coldly .

King Su nodded when he heard the words, and affirmed: "That is, he is right. The scar is exactly the same as Zexi's description. It is very scary. I remember it very deeply, and I must not admit my mistake."

Ming Heng's heart sank, and he asked in a low voice: "Does your father know Musa's identity? If you know, why do you still want to meet him?"

Everyone was silent, and no one could answer his question, but they all had a bad premonition in their hearts, so their faces were a little serious.

At this moment, Ming Heng heard a cool sneer from beside him, turned his head and saw that it was Tuoba Hong.At this time, one corner of his mouth was still slightly raised, showing a somewhat cold sneer, and his eyes were sharp and terrifying.Mingheng felt a little strange about Tuobahong like that, so he didn't approach him for a while, but just turned his face and stared at him blankly.

Tuoba Hong sensed the gaze beside him, turned his head, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Ming Heng's complicated eyes, and stared at him for a while, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to adjust his emotions.When he opened it again, his expression was no longer as scary as before.

Ming Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and gently held his hand under the table.The moment he grasped it, he obviously felt that Tuobahong's whole body stiffened for a moment, but he soon relaxed again, and gently held him back.

The atmosphere in the dining room was a bit quiet. Mingheng and Tuobahong played with each other under the table. They didn't speak for a while, but He Zexi himself didn't talk much. At this time, he learned about Musa's He didn't say a word about the matter, but his face became more and more gloomy. As for King Su, he was very concerned about the secret meeting between his royal brother and Musa, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he looked thoughtful.

Mo Jia turned his head and looked to the left, then to the right, and opened his mouth when he saw no one was talking.

"About Musa... I just thought of something."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to him.

Tuobahong asked: "What did you think of?"

Mo Jia told everyone: "Didn't I monitor the movement of Musa and his soldiers in Diangu before? For a while, many foreigners frequently entered and left Musa's king's tent. Some of them looked like people from the Central Plains, and I know one of them."

Everyone was shocked.Tuobahong frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say it before?"

Mo Jia said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know that person at that time, and I couldn't be sure that it was a stalking person."

Mingheng came back to his senses and asked: "You mean, you met that person after you came to the capital this time, and you know that person is Yerouren?"

Mo Jia nodded.

"Who is it?" Everyone asked in unison.

Mo Jia said surprisingly: "Lin Qiong."

Everyone was stunned.Ming Heng opened his eyes even more in shock: "Lin Qiong?! He went to Diangu to meet Musa?!"

"Ah."

He Zexi and Tuobahong looked at each other and confirmed again and again: "Are you sure?"

"Sure," Mo Jia said with certainty, "That person has a red birthmark on the back of his hand, which I am very impressed with. Just now, when Lin Qiong left with Emperor Qianyuan, I saw it, exactly the same. I felt it before That person looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw it until I saw the red birthmark."

Mo Jia's words made the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

Tuobahong didn't express his opinion just now, until then he made a sound, his voice was a little cold: "Perhaps we thought wrong at the beginning, Musa never wanted to win over the Fourth Prince, but..."

"It's Emperor Father." Ming Heng said the last four words for him.

This guess is very bold, but it is not so absurd.As a foreigner, it is very suspicious for Musa to be able to enter and exit the palace freely, not to mention that if he secretly colluded with the fourth prince to plan for the throne, he should hide from the palace, how could he walk around under the nose of Emperor Qianyuan The truth of this is directly presented in front of Emperor Qianyuan.But if he had a deal with Emperor Qianyuan in the first place, then it was only natural for him to go in and out of the palace, and even appear frequently in front of Emperor Qianyuan.

It's just that although they knew the truth, everyone couldn't be happy at all, they couldn't help being unhappy, and even more sad.

King Su said with an ugly expression, "If Musa and Brother Huang really negotiated an agreement in private, I'm afraid Zexi and Hanhuan's life experiences cannot be concealed."

Mingheng also thought of this, and couldn't help clenching Tuobahong's hand nervously.

Tuobahong and He Zexi were not too nervous.Tuobahong suddenly turned his head, and asked Mingheng as if no one else was there: "Do you still remember the promise I made to you back then?"

Ming Heng was stunned for a moment before asking: "About the promise never to send troops to An Ling?"

Tuobahong nodded, and smiled helplessly: "Since I promised you, I will never go back on my promise, but the peace that Anling and Ye Ruo managed to maintain may soon cease to exist."

Everyone present heard what he meant.

Emperor Qianyuan came out of the thrilling court struggle on the blood of his brothers, so the most intolerable thing was the betrayal of the people around him.If he knew that the most trusted general of the country had an inexplicable entanglement with the royal family of a foreign country, with his temperament, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let any one go.

Thinking of this, both He Zexi and Tuoba Hong couldn't sit still.Tuoba Hong stood up and said, "I'm going to the Duke's Mansion!"

"I'll go too!" He Zexi followed and stood up.

The two brothers looked at each other, and after apologizing to King Su, they were about to leave.Ming Heng chased up to stop the two brothers: "Calm down first, if the emperor really wants to attack the Duke's mansion, you can't even show up."

Su Wang also hurriedly followed up to persuade: "You are clearly concerned about chaos. General He has made great achievements in the military and has been loyal to Anling for most of his life. If the emperor does not have a conclusive charge, he will be arrested rashly. There is no need to wait for you. Civil and military officials and the people of the whole country started to make trouble first. Brother Huang is not an impulsive person, at least General He is safe now."

The brothers probably calmed down and didn't insist anymore.

Mingheng hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Uncle Huang is right, even though Musa told Royal Father about your backgrounds, he has no evidence. If Royal Father questioned General He, he just insisted that it had nothing to do with Ye Ruo, so what could he do?" What to do? In this matter, if the father is not careful, he will be charged with mutilating Zhongliang. I am afraid that General He will not be the only one who is upset by then. If you are not at ease, you will wait for General He Secretly picked him up from the He residence, sent him to Yerou or some other place far away from the capital to avoid the limelight, and said to the outside world that he was suddenly seriously ill and returned to the countryside to recuperate."

Tuobahong was finally persuaded, nodded and said: "Let's do it this way, I will ask Wu Meng to take his father to Jingheyuan to stay for a few days in the evening."

"Hmm." Mingheng squeezed his fingertips, "Don't worry, I will find a way with Father. Musa himself has no evidence, it's all just relying on his mouth. If it doesn't work, I can also tell Father about Musa. What he said was false, but he wanted to sow discord. The emperor is very suspicious, and he probably doesn't believe all of Musa's words. I will try to dispel his doubts."

Tuobahong glanced at him worriedly, and said: "Be careful yourself."

Ming Heng smiled and nodded: "You too."

Everyone was preoccupied with the welcome banquet, and when they left, everyone felt a little heavy.

Ming Heng and He Zexi and Mo Jia returned to the palace, which was startling every step of the way.Although they already knew that Emperor Qianyuan might already know about Tuobahong's life experience, He Zexi still had to continue pretending to be Tuobahong to deal with Emperor Qianyuan.

After Ming Heng and his group left Su Wang's mansion, Tuoba Hong also quietly left through the back door under the escort of Su Wang's servants, and returned to Jinghe Garden.After Tuoba Hong returned to Jinghe Garden, Wu Meng also just came back.He has been monitoring the fourth prince these days, but the fourth prince has been very quiet these days, he rarely even goes out to the palace, and Musa's men haven't visited the palace at night for a long time.

After Wu Meng reported the fourth prince's movements to Tuoba Hong, Tuoba Hong waved his hand and ordered: "You don't need to monitor Mingzhe anymore, he is just a young man who obeys orders, let him jump around. In the middle of the night, you go to the Duke's Mansion."

Wu Meng was surprised: "To the Duke's Mansion? Didn't Mr. Xiaohe pretend to be a profuse Khan and you entered the palace?"

Tuobahong explained: "I didn't ask you to pick up Zexi, but I asked you to pick up my father. I suspect that Emperor Qianyuan will be against him. I don't feel at ease if he stays in the mansion alone."

Wu Meng was very surprised. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't ask any more questions. He simply took the order, went back to the house, changed into night clothes, and went to the Duke's mansion. "

Tuobahong stayed in the house alone, it was late at night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and wanted to wait for Wumeng to pick up his father before resting.He paced back and forth in the room with his increasingly heavy stomach, and now his body was very heavy, and his legs and feet were aching after walking a few steps. He sat down at the table and prepared to pour himself a glass of water.

However, just as he was about to pour the water to his mouth, the door was pushed open roughly.

Tuobahong's expression froze, he turned his wrist, and was about to throw the teacup in his hand as a hidden weapon, but he saw the butler stumbled in, his face covered in blood and bruises.

Tuobahong was startled, and got up to help, but the old butler shouted with his last breath: "Master, go! There are assassins!"

After saying this, he died.

"Uncle Li!" Seeing the loyal butler dying in front of him, Tuobahong was obviously stimulated, but he couldn't collect the body for the butler, so after the old butler said there was an assassin, there were seven or eight The man in black fell from the sky and landed in the yard.The sword in his hand glowed with a chilling cold light under the moonlight.

At this moment, Tuobahong's eyes were a bit colder than Jian Guang's. He looked at the assassins who were approaching him calmly, and slowly moved his right hand towards the edge of the table.

Those assassins obviously also saw his movements, suddenly increased their speed, and rushed towards Tuoba Hong with their swords raised.

At the same time, there was a sharp sound of a sharp knife being unsheathed in the room, and then a cold light flashed across the eyes of the assassins.They subconsciously closed their eyes, and the moment they closed their eyes, Tuoba Hong had already raised the moon-like scimitar and made a move.

Ever since Su Wang's mansion came back, Mingheng's spirit has been tense like a string, he didn't even sleep all night last night, and his heart flustered inexplicably.After finally surviving until dawn, Ming Heng couldn't sit still anymore, and said to He Zexi: "I still want to go out to the palace."

He Zexi looked at him and asked calmly, "What are you doing out of the palace?"

Ming Heng said: "I want to go to Jinghe Garden. I have been flustered since I came back from Uncle Huang's place last night. I always feel that something will happen. I am a little worried about Han Huan."

He Zexi stared at him for a long time, but didn't make fun of him for being unfounded, but nodded seriously, and said, "Okay, let's go to Jinghe Garden after dinner."

Ming Heng was surprised: "I thought you would not agree."

He Zexi turned the jade ring on his index finger and said: "Because I am also a little worried. Before Han Huan fought Musa, Han Huan left a scar on the corner of Musa's eye, but Musa also severely injured Han Huan. Then I wasn't in Yerou this time, and I didn't see them fighting with my own eyes, but just the night before Han Huan was injured, I suddenly felt flustered and short of breath, and all I could think about was Han Huan. Later, I was really worried and went to Yerou secretly. That's when I realized he was injured."

Ming Heng was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Could it be that you last night..."

He Zexi nodded, with a solemn expression: "Last night, that feeling reappeared."

Mingheng's face turned pale immediately.

At this moment, Mo Jia hurried in from the outside with an even uglier expression than the two of them.

"problem occurs."

When Mo Jia said these three words in an anxious tone, Ming Heng's heart sank suddenly.However, when he heard Mo Jia's next words, he froze in place as if struck by lightning, his face as white as paper.

"Just now King Wumeng Tuo Su sent news that a group of assassins sneaked into Jinghe Garden last night and killed all the servants in the mansion. Khan, he is missing."
