Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

Mu Xiuyan thought about it for a long time, although now the Mu family has regarded him as the head of the family, and Mu Huaiyu has also entrusted him with important tasks, but he has not stated this to the outside world, he feels that this person has not lied to him, and has a calm and calm attitude and eloquent words.

Mu Xiuyan wanted to know the truth.

"This matter needs to be approved by Master Mu. I don't know what to call the young master?" Mu Xiuyan asked, clasping his hands in a salute.

Chu Xinle returned the salute and said with a smile, "My surname is Xing."

Not only Mu Xiuyan, but even Xing Yanhong who stood silently by the side was taken aback.

He could hardly believe his ears? !

"Xing from the Jiuyuan Xing family." Chu Xinle added with a smile, ignoring the two people who were stunned on the spot.

Mu Xiuyan still didn't understand clearly, but the time was urgent, and Chu Xinle didn't bother to give him any free time to think about it, and just made plans for others, "If you can't make the decision, then please trouble Mr. Mu to take us to see Patriarch Mu, time is running out .”

***

Mu Huaiyu sat on pins and needles in the shogunate, and later even stopped sitting at all, stood up and paced back and forth.

Before he had gone a few steps, someone came to report that the young master had returned, bringing the two young masters of the Xing family with him.

There are only two sons in the Xing family, Xing Qingzhang and Xing Yanhong, and Xing Qingzhang has disappeared since leaving home, so besides Xing Yanhong, could it be that Xing Yanping gave birth to another son?Where did the man who claimed to be his nephew go?

Mu Huaiyu really realized that he was getting old. Everyone in the Central Plains said that the Mu family was very clever. Who would have thought that he would be tricked by a brat who didn't even know his name.

He ordered people to come in, so he pretended to be calm and sat down again, waiting for people to come in.

Not long after, Mu Xiuyan brought the two of them in, Chu Xinle followed behind him with ease and bowed towards Mu Huaiyu, and Xing Yanhong also bowed respectfully, not at all like he used to be.

Mu Xiuyan turned sideways slightly, stretched out his hand and said to Mu Huaiyu, "This is Mr. Xing." Then he pointed to Xing Yanhong, and just hesitated to say it, then saw his father stand up, looked at Xing Yanhong and saluted, and said, "I don't know The third son Xing is here, and he is far away to welcome you."

Xing Yanhong smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Then this is..." Mu Huaiyu's eyes fell on Chu Xinle.

Xing Yanhong opened his mouth, but did not speak, and looked at Chu Xinle beside him.

"My surname is Xing and my name is Luan." Chu Xinle said.

"The Xing family?" Mu Huaiyu and Mu Xiuyan looked at each other, thought for a moment, and said, "Why have you never heard of it?"

Just as Xing Yanhong was about to answer, he heard Chu Xinle say, "I just got married."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

"So... Miss Xing Er... married?" Mu Xiuyan asked weakly in the cold atmosphere.

Xing Yanhong was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, thinking that his second sister was stabbed and now she is still recuperating in bed and married?I want to become a ghost.

He smiled and said, "Not yet."

"..."

"These are not the focus now." Chu Xinle broke through the embarrassment, and brought back the person she had led away without changing her expression or beating her heart.

"Master Mu should be at a loss. How could Third Young Master Xing, who was supposed to be taught in Runan, appear in Yandu with a group of soldiers?" Chu Xinle said seriously.

Mu Huaiyu raised his hand and sent away all the surrounding maids, and there were only four of them left in Nuo Da's inner hall.

"It seems that Mr. Xing Luan is here to answer my questions." Mu Huaiyu said.

Chu Xinle nodded and said, "As you expected, Xing Yanhong and I have escaped from Runan and are going back to Jiuyuan."

When he said it so straightforwardly, Mu Huaiyu and Mu Xiuyan were at a loss. They didn't know how to react, so they had to freeze on the spot, staring straight at the Xing family's son-in-law.

"So you want us to open the city gate?" Mu Xiuyan asked.

Chu Xinle nodded and smiled.

"You guys must have wasted a lot of time escaping here from Runan." Mu Xiuyan was the first to react, he was able to consider the pros and cons involved in this matter in the shortest possible time.

Xing Yanhong escaped from Runan, and Lin'an was also experiencing the Yun family's rebellion at this time, and the situation of splitting the Central Plains was in front of them. As the only aristocratic family not good at using force, their Yandu Mu family had to stand in the most precise and clear line. They don't need to look for it, they will find it automatically.

"Patriarch Shi will definitely do his best to prevent Mr. Xing from returning to Jiuyuan. We, Yandu, have no enmity with Runan, but if we open the city gate and let Mr. Xing pass through, then when Mr. Xing leaves, everything will be fine, who will take care of it? Our Yandu?" Mu Xiuyan looked at Chu Xinle solemnly.

Xing Yanhong laughed, and he approached Chu Xinle for a while, as if he wanted to hug her into his arms under the eyes of everyone. Since he came in, Xing Yanhong has only said one or two sentences, and the rest are all Chu Xinle's talking, but Seeing that Mu Xiuyan was putting pressure on Chu Xinle, the meaning inside and outside the words were completely different, so he said ruthlessly: "Now is the time to stand in line, and the way this team should stand is up to your Mu family to decide." , beating around the bush..." The kind smile on Xing Yanhong's face disappeared in an instant, he tensed his face, stretched out his hand to stop Chu Xinle's waist, and declared his sovereignty: "If it weren't for my outsider, he would I am willing to stand here and waste time talking with you, just the two of us can seize the sovereignty and open the city gate the moment we enter the city."

He spoke harshly and decisively, and he didn't save Mu's family any face at all, but Xing Yanhong has always been like this, and he didn't regard Mu Huaiyu as Chu Xinle's uncle, he was just his own Chu Xinle from beginning to end.

Mu Xiuyan knew Xing Yanhong's character. After all, when he drove into Qinchuan, he stopped Xue Man and the others, but he didn't stop Xing Yanhong.

Chu Xinle let Xing Yanhong wrap his arms around his waist, but he just raised his lips to look at Mu Xiuyan leisurely.

Mu Xiuyan and Mu Huaiyu were both stunned in place. It was expected that Mu's family had calculated things like gods. Who would have thought that Xing Yanhong was... a broken sleeve!All the famous names of the Mu family were lost to Xing Yanhong and the kid beside him, Xing Luan.

"Bo Luan and I are people who know how to repay kindness. If Master Mu and Mr. Mu are willing to open the door and let us go, then we will never sit idly by Yandu and Mu's family." Chu Xinle took the words back , looked up at Xing Yanhong with his head sideways, and said towards Mu Xiuyan: "The reason why Runan has not rushed over now is nothing more than a few reasons. First, Shi Enxuan is dead, and Shi Zhenming must be revived." The Shi family, it's unrealistic for the Shi family's former cronies of Shi Enze to obey him in a short period of time. Now he has been entangled in the Shi family's mess, and has no intention of sending troops to chase after him. Second, he can't trust your Mu family. .”

Hearing this, Mu Xiuyan and Mu Huaiyu looked at each other in tacit understanding. There is actually no need to say a lot of things, and it can be clear just by pointing them out.

"The Shi family and the Xue family were the murderers who set fire to the Chu family." Chu Xinle pointed out this matter without warning.

He made it clear that the Shi family didn't believe in the Mu family, they had ghosts in their hearts.

"Master Mu and Mr. Mu are smart people, so I must have a rough idea of ​​how to choose between good and bad."

Chu Xinle greeted them with a smile from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, Xing Yanhong threatened them domineeringly and forcefully. The two of them were like black faces and white faces on the stage. People are pushed into a dead end, and they seem to be kindly given two answers to choose, but in fact there is only one answer, and they have no other choice even if they don't want to choose.

But if they wait another half an hour, Mu Xiuyan and the others will be able to figure it out. No matter how powerful and popular he is, Xing Yanhong is only one person. When he enters Yandu, no matter how incapable his soldiers are, they can still hold on. In the last few days, Xing Yanhong escaped from Runan in no time to clean up, and he couldn't bring out any money. No matter how fierce his soldiers are, they are useless. People are iron, rice is steel, and there is no food. Those soldiers will be finished sooner or later .

However, this is the strength of Chu Xinle and Xing Yanhong, they had thought of these things long ago, so they had to preemptively strike, and they had to pinch left and right so that Mu Xiuyan and Mu Huaiyu had nowhere to go, so they had to submit to them.

And Xing Yanhong is not stupid, they passed through Yandu, and robbed some food and grass along the way, leaving from Runan was too sudden, and Shi Zhenming's sudden appearance really caught Xing Yanhong off guard, except for those soldiers, there was nothing in his hands nothing.

The distance from Yandu to Jiuyuan is far longer than that from Runan to Yandu. Except for them, they can hardly see anyone else along the way, and Shi Jiabing can't catch up. This is a big stone they put down in their hearts since they came out of Yandu, so They don't have to rush day and night like fleeing to Yandu, Shi Linling is still young, and Huo Gang is also old, they don't stay up all night like young men.

They have been walking for two full days. This grain and horse road originally connected Jiuyuan, Yandu and Fengtian Sanzhou, but since Fengtian was occupied by bandits, the grain and horse road leading to Jiuyuan has been blocked. void.

It's time to arrive after another night.

As we go north, there are fewer forests, and there are bare grass and stones everywhere. The howling cold wind completely blows away the last trace of warmth in autumn, and the ice is coming.

Chu Xinle twirled the quilt for Shi Linling and Huo Gang. When she got out of the tent, she saw Xing Yanhong sitting by the earthen stove with her back to her figure. She went back to the tent and took out the cloak, and walked over to put it on for Xing Yanhong.

The cloak brought a sense of coldness around Xing Yanhong, and the flames in the earthen stove burned the firewood and made a bleak crackling sound, and the ashes of the burned debris floated in the cold wind with a smoky smell. The camp not far away There was a loud snoring sound from inside, which could be regarded as a few traces of the sleepy winter night.

Xing Yanhong took advantage of the opportunity to grab Chu Xinle's hand on his shoulder, pulled him into his arms, stretched out his long legs so that Chu Xinle could sit between him, and they cuddled each other in the dark and cold night in the light of the fire, Like two lingering swans, only each other.

Chu Xinle's eyes were slightly squinted by the flames, the intense heat scattered the surrounding ice, and the cold cloak was warmed by Xing Yanhong's heat.

"Why is it so cold?" Xing Yanhong wrapped Chu Xinle's hands in his own, held them to his mouth and exhaled, exhaling a large cloud of white mist.

Chu Xinle obediently allowed Xing Yanhong to warm his hands, feeling that his fingers were covered with hot moisture, like the tip of a grass, scratching his fingers, "waiting for you to warm them up."

They turned their backs to the sleeping tent and faced the flickering fire, looking at each other in silence, thousands of words condensed on their close bodies, turning into heart palpitations.

"Lin Ling... is Huo Wu asleep?" Xing Yanhong was the first to look away.

And Chu Xinle was still looking at him.

The hard work of the past five days made Xing Yanhong's clothes covered with dirt, and his face still couldn't conceal his unruly handsomeness. He was too tall, and his long legs had to be stretched out to hold Chu Xinle tightly in his arms. Here, the light in his eyes could not be concealed, the more he traveled north, the more his desire to go home became more and more transpired.

Chu Xinle held up that handsome face with pity, and rubbed it lightly with his fingers repeatedly, as if he wanted to firmly engrave the person in his mind. He smiled and nodded to Xing Yanhong.

Ever since they left Yandu, they let go of their long-sustained hearts, and then they considered other things. While on the way, Xing Yanhong changed the name of Shi Jiabing led by Liu Tainiu to Yi Anjun, and also changed the name of Shi Linling. With his consent, Huo Gang took him in and changed his name to Huo Wu.

"Tomorrow, we will arrive at Jiuyuan." Looking into the distance, Xing Yanhong exhaled icy cold air, and hoarfrost covered his eyelashes, making his eyes hurt from the cold.

The vast wilderness was filled with smoke or fog, and stars of different sizes were twinkling in the night sky, and they looked down on the two of them.

"Do you have something to say?" Chu Xinle pouts Xing Yanhong's cheeks like teasing a child, forcing him to look directly at her, and kisses Xing Yanhong's pouting lips affectionately.

Xing Yanhong covered the back of Chu Xinle's hand, squeezed his hand back into his own, struggled for a while, and finally said a nonsensical sentence: "I have been away from Jiuyuan for two years."

Chu Xinle listened carefully, and he nodded, motioning for Xing Yanhong to continue.

But Xing Yanhong didn't speak anymore, he couldn't speak, the strange emotion in his heart was strange and familiar, it wasn't that strong at first, but when he stepped into Yandu and left Yandu, the further north he went, the more uncertain he was, and he was eager to return to Yandu. Jiuyuan, but two years is neither long nor short, it is enough to change many things.

As time goes by, things may change.

"How can my Boluan be afraid? You are an eagle soaring in the sky of Jiuyuan, and Jiuyuan is your home. You shouldn't be afraid." Chu Xinle hugged Xing Yanhong, and he hugged Xing Yanhong tightly in his arms, comfortingly Caressing his back, the soft voice pressed against Xing Yanhong's ear, which was the most gentle encouragement, "Jiuyuan needs you, Jiuyuan Eagle King and Jiuyuan female eagle are looking forward to Jiuyuan's eagle cub being able to be alone , go home, my Boluan, don't be afraid, I will go home with you."

***

"Master, Xing Yanhong and the others have already passed Yandu, our people... are still a step too late..." The man who came to report fell to his knees and buried his head very low.

The candlelight hit Shi Zhenming's side face, and the gloom could not be hidden at all.

Xue Man sat aside, Cheng Jie stood beside him, both of them listened quietly.

"Trash!" Shi Zhenming yelled and wanted to throw the teacup out, but because Patriarch Xue was present, he forcibly endured it.

"What should I do? If Xing Yanhong is allowed to go back, that would be letting the tiger go back to the mountain. That boy Chu Xinle is still taking my Shi Jiabing with him. This is like adding wings to Jiuyuan!" Shi Zhenming glanced at Xue Man and sighed.

Xue Man remained silent, turning a deaf ear.

"Patriarch Xue, you can really hold your breath." Seeing this, Shi Zhenming wanted to get angry, but he couldn't, so he could only speak sarcastically.

Only then did Xue Man give him a glance, and said, "Do you really think you are like a tiger with wings added?"

Shi Zhenming was startled, didn't understand, and asked: "How do you say that?"

Xue Man didn't want to say any more, so he raised his teacup and took a sip. Seeing this, Cheng Jie calmly answered for his master: "The Xingying Army in Jiuyuan has always been famous for their unity and integrity, and their greatest strength is not their strength and strength. Strong and heroic, but loyal." Xue Man looked at his master, saw that Xue Man had no intention of interrupting, but closed his eyes and rested, and then said: "Jiuyuan Xing's family is a system with a complete system. Yan Ping, followed by Xing Lingjun, this is the reason why they have won many battles, and it is also their most fatal weakness. Too many victories make them swell rapidly, and if they stand tall, they will be easily blown down by the wind. Master Shi feels Chu Xin Le and those soldiers from the Shi family will help Jiuyuan, but the Xing family doesn't look down on them at all. Chu Xinle and the soldiers he took away, it is destined that Xing Yanhong will break the stable situation of the Xing family when he brings Chu Xinle back. Shi Jiabing is doomed to have no place in Jiuyuan."
