After solving the matter of the Hou Mansion, Mu Xing returned to Dazhuang Village and lived a peaceful life.

He often thinks of Ayue.

Not only Mu Xing, but also family members would talk about it from time to time.

"This child, it's been so long that no letter has come back." The family was worried.

After all, Ayue was on the battlefield. Although Mu Xing repeatedly assured that Ayue was very capable and nothing would happen, he was still afraid.

The battle with Bei Zhai was so stalemate that even remote places like Dazhuang Village felt nervous.

The imperial court forcibly collected food several times, and the people's life became more and more difficult.

Occasionally, when Mu Dazhu came back from the town, he would have a sad expression on his face.

Later, there were rumors that the imperial court was going to surrender and cede land for peace.Many people living in the north began to move with their families.

Mu Xing was very worried about A Yue. He thought of the seemingly miraculous light group, but that light group was completely unreliable at such a critical moment.

It just doesn't show up.

until that day.

Dazhuang Village suddenly became very lively, and Lizheng went around the whole village beating gongs.

Everyone knows that the imperial court has defeated Bei Zhai!

The air suddenly became cheerful.

Before the store closed on weekdays, Mu Dazhu and Mu Jiawang returned home with happy faces.

"When I passed by the teahouse, I heard that there was a young general named Mu Yue who was so brave that he captured King Beidi alive and made great achievements." Mu Dazhu flushed with excitement, "This name...can't be our family name. Ah Yue?"

The whole family was very excited. Aunt Mu's hair was all white, but she was still full of anger when she said it: "I said earlier that our Ayue will have great promise at first sight."

Mrs. Zhang tried to calm down: "Don't get too excited, if not, let's not go out and talk nonsense."

"I think it's probably true!" Aunt Mu laughed, "Of course I won't go out and say it, we just close the door and be happy."

Now that the war is over, the Mu family is waiting for Ayue to come home.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than half a year, there was no news from A Yue.

Mu Dazhu went to the county government office to inquire, but he couldn't find this person at all.

The Mu family changed from looking forward to joy to worry, and Mu Xing even saw Zhang weeping quietly behind everyone's back.

He heard Mrs. Zhang and Mu Dazhu talking quietly:

"...We don't expect Ayue to make great contributions and become a high-ranking official, as long as he is safe. But how come there is no news about this child?"

When the family had dinner together that night, Mu Xing said: "I heard that the imperial court will award meritorious officers and soldiers. I will leave tomorrow to visit the capital."

Mu Jiawang immediately said, "I'll go."

Mu Jiafeng said, "Sister-in-law is still pregnant, let me go."

Mu Xing said: "I..."

The whole family looked at him: "You are not allowed to go!"

Mu Xing: "..."

He knew what the Mu family meant, and tried to defend himself: "I'm in good health, and I haven't been sick for many years. And I'm very powerful, third brother, it's not like you don't know."

Mu Jiafeng didn't give him any face at all: "No, I'm going to hurry, and I'll go."

Mu Xing had no choice but to secretly decide in his heart to find someone quietly tomorrow.

However, the next day, none of the Mu family members went.

Before dawn, Mu Xing was awakened by the uniform sound of horseshoes outside.

Most of the people in Dazhuang Village were still asleep. Mu Xing listened intently. It sounded like there were at least a hundred people, at least a quarter of an hour away from Dazhuang Village.

Why do so many people come to Dazhuang Village?

He quietly put on his clothes and sat on the big tree at the entrance of the village.

It didn't take long to see a line of black shadows galloping from afar.

Mu Xing watched quietly, making up his mind that if the visitor was unkind, he had to find a way to protect the safety of the whole village.

But the next moment, his eyes widened - the knight in the lead looked a little familiar?

A Yue looked ahead, his heart was full of excitement.

He didn't come back for five years.

He didn't even dare to reveal any details about his relationship with the Mu family, because he couldn't guarantee that what he wanted to do would be successful.

If it fails, it will inevitably implicate the Mu family.

For five full years, he hid in the Northwest Army, contacted his father's former army, and secretly accumulated power.

Because he was afraid of hurting the Mu family if he failed, he didn't even dare to send a letter, and everyone around him thought he was an orphan.

In a sense, he is indeed an orphan.All three clans of the Qin family have been killed by that dog emperor.

The Mujia Village in front is peaceful in the hazy morning light, and Ayue's heart is also soft - no matter how the outside world changes, this place is always a pure land.

He was just about to pull the rein and turn back to tell his subordinates to stop and wait outside, when something flew towards him on top of his head, and the cronies beside him also exclaimed: "Young master, be careful!"

A Yue quickly raised his hand, wrapped the horsewhip in his hand around the unknown black figure, and was about to throw it out when he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and withdrew his hand again.

It is a half-ripe apple with a little bit of blue.

If A Yue felt something, he suddenly raised his head.

A man in Tsing Yi sat on a branch of a century-old tree at the entrance of the village ahead.

The sky had not yet appeared, and the surroundings were quiet and hazy. This pale and beautiful man in Tsing Yi was sitting on a tree branch, he looked like a deceptive monster in the rumors of ghosts and monsters.

A Yue was stunned, staring at the man blankly.

The confidant was also stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he pulled out his sword suddenly: "Who are you?"

Before waiting for that person's answer, he heard the taciturn master call his senior brother happily.

Ayue got off the horse, looked up at the people on the tree, quite happy: "Brother, why are you here, you know I'm coming back? I haven't seen you in five years, and you are more handsome, how are you?"

The confidant was stunned for a while, and he didn't know whether he was surprised that the young master had a senior brother, or was surprised that the young master was so talkative.

Under A Yue's worried gaze, Mu Xing jumped down from the tree and said, "I was asleep, but I was woken up by you."

Only then did Ayue remember that senior brother has deep inner strength, and it is impossible for him to hide such a big movement of his party riding a horse.

He apologized, "It's A Yue's fault for disturbing senior brother's rest."

Mu Xing responded by raising his hand to give him a hug, and said with a smile, "You're being polite to me."

He looked at the people behind A Yue: "These are?"

A Yue just looked at the thin clothes on his body and disapproved: "It's cold in the morning, brother should take care of his body and at least add a cloak."

After finishing speaking, he said happily: "Let's go home first, uncles and aunts should wake up too, and I will talk to you when I go back."

He asked the subordinates behind him to guard outside the village, and followed Mu Xing to Mu's house.

Leaving a kind of cronies looking at each other, one of them said: "Who is this? Who of you knows?"

A group of people shook their heads in unison.

When the two arrived home, everyone in the family was already up.

Aunt Mu is sweeping the yard. She is too old to be idle, and she always has something to do.

Seeing the two walking in from the door side by side, Aunt Mu saw Mu Xing and asked in surprise, "Xiao Bao got up so early today?"

Looking at the young man who just came in again, Aunt Mu felt familiar at first glance, and it took a few breaths before she suddenly realized: "Ayue?"

She walked this way hurriedly: "Is A Yue back?"

A Yue quickly stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, it's me, it's A Yue who is back."

Aunt Mu's eyes were red, and she patted A Yue gently: "You child, you don't even know how to send a letter back, you don't know how much the family is worried about you."

He raised his voice and shouted: "Dazhu! Xiulan! Ah Yue is back!"

This time, all the Mu family came out with a whoosh.

Ayue was surrounded by the whole family and asked questions. Mrs. Zhang seemed overjoyed: "Did you come back overnight? Are you tired? Are you hungry? I'm going to steam the buns."

Soon after the whole family had finished their breakfast, Ayue suddenly stood up, knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed three times to Aunt Mu, Mu Dazhu, and Mrs. Zhang.

"Ayue has something to hide from everyone." He said in a deep voice, "The person who took me back then was not my father, nor did we suffer a disaster and wander away."

The Mu family look at me, I look at you, Aunt Mu said softly: "Good boy, stand up first, let's talk about anything."

Ayue didn't get up, but said in a low voice: "My real name is Qin Shuo, and my nickname is Ayue. I'm the youngest son of the mighty Marquis Qin Zhen. Uncle Tingfeng is the general of the Qin family, and I'm the only survivor of the Qin family. Back then , I was running for my life."

"Back then, the imperial court accused my father of having an affair with Bei Zhai, and the three Qin clans were implicated. Uncle Tingfeng replaced me with his youngest son in exchange for my life."

"I dare not tell anyone my true identity, for fear of dragging you down."

Not to mention the shock of the Mu family, even Mu Xing was stunned for a moment.

He is still a little familiar with the name Wei Wuhou. Many years ago in his memory, his master also said that now that the court is chaotic and treacherous people are in power, there is only one Wei Wuhou who is still considered a hero.

But he stayed in this Dazhuang village and didn't care about world affairs, he didn't even know that the mighty Marquis who was praised by his master was ransacked by his family, and he didn't even know that Ayue was actually the child of the mighty Marquis.

After A Yue finished speaking, he lowered his head quietly, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

After all, with my identity, I have lived in the Mu family for so many years, and if anyone discovers my identity, the entire Mu family will be implicated.

But he was only lifted up by a pair of hands.

Those hands were pale and thin, they looked very weak, but they were very strong and warm.

He met Mu Xing's guilty eyes.

Mu Xing was a little sad: "Master also mentioned to me the mighty Marquis Mansion back then, saying that your father is a great hero. If I could ask a few more questions back then, if Master knew about this in advance and helped, maybe you It’s not that even a blood relative can’t be left behind now.”

Mrs. Zhang also looked at him with pity: "Silly boy, it's been so long now, why are you still talking about this? I knew that there must be a secret in you, but I didn't expect such a tragic life experience. All these years, It must be hard for you to bore all the pain in your heart by yourself."

The man's injuries back then were obviously caused by a sharp weapon, but Mu Dazhu and Mrs. Zhang didn't ask anything, and took the little child home.

Since of course I chose not to ask, it is naturally even more impossible to care about it now.

Only Aunt Mu was a little worried: "Then, are we going to pack up and prepare to move now? I heard that Ayue has made great contributions in the battlefield, what if his identity is exposed?"

The reaction of the Mu family made Ayue's heart sink back into his chest.

Hearing Mrs. Mu talk about this, he remembered another big thing: "Grandma, don't worry, no one can hurt me now. I just came back to talk about the past, and forgot to tell you one thing."

His tone was understated, as if he was talking about a trivial matter:

"I went out this time and regained my father's old Northwest Army. Now, the army has arrived at Huayang City."

"In this world, the surname will soon be Qin."
