A subordinate next to Gong Yangte reminded: "Master, no matter how long Liang Xiao stays, when he comes, or when he leaves, at least let the Beihu people know that the Beihu people will act according to the opportunity."
On that day, Gongyang specially arranged for his close associates to go to a remote residential area in the south of the city to release the homing pigeons.
The homing pigeons flew towards the desert, stopping in residential areas along the way.
Everyone who was chatting on the second floor of Dingguo Hou Mansion saw pigeons flying north and landing on the eaves in the distance, and they were quite curious.
"Is there anyone else who trains flying pigeons to pass messages?" Mu Lingxiao and Liang Xiao were alert at the same time.
Liang Xiao's eyes fell on the pigeon's feet, and his eyes sternly said: "There is a letter!"
"Can you see it?" Everyone was shocked.
The pigeon was more than a hundred steps away. The reason why everyone noticed it was because it flew from south to north and landed there.
Liang Xiao can read the letter, which shows that his eyesight is amazing.
While everyone was surprised, Liang Xiao had already gone downstairs to get the thunder bow given by Duan Yunyi.
"Is the pigeon still there?"
When everyone heard Liang Xiao's question, they only had time to reply "yes". Liang Xiao had already picked up his bow and arrow, aiming directly at the homing pigeon.
The arrow from the string came through the air!
The homing pigeon that was resting on the eaves only had time to spread its wings and was hit by an arrow on the spot. After fluttering a few times, it fell straight up on the eaves.
The three women present, Lin'er and other maids all exclaimed in unison.
Mu Lingxiao immediately recovered from the shock and ordered his general: "One hundred and twenty steps away to the north, go to the eaves of that house and search for the carrier pigeon!"
After the general took the order and left, Mu Lingxiao was full of praise.
"Such a sharp shot, he can pierce the Yang with a hundred steps!"
Xiahou Qingyi's eyes widened.
With both civil and military skills, does he look more like a civil servant or a military general?
After the general got the pigeon, everyone took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a small roll of paper tied to the pigeon's foot.
Mu Lingxiao immediately handed the blood-stained note to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was not polite and took it apart to take a look:
[On March 23, Liang Xiao came to Youzhou to visit Mu Dingguo. 】
Mu Lingxiao on the side frowned when he saw the content: "It's another spy in the city!"
Liang Xiao reminded: "It seems that it is for the Beihu people. We should immediately notify Prefect Zhuge and search for the source of the pigeon based on its trajectory just now."
Mu Lingxiao made arrangements immediately without saying a word.
After the interlude of the carrier pigeon ended, Liang Xiao washed his hands and sat back down to find that both Mu Qinxue and Xiahou Qingyi were looking at him lovingly.
The look in the two girls' eyes was almost the same.
"My hearing and eyesight have been much better than ordinary people since I was a child, haha..."
Looking at Liang Xiao who suddenly felt embarrassed, Mu Qinxue smiled charmingly.
"Oh, our Lord Lanling will be embarrassed too~"
Liang Xiao just coughed a few times tactically, and then talked to Mu Lingxiao about the carrier pigeon.
Xiahou Qingyi came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure. She felt a little uneasy, but felt a little happy in her heart.
Mu Qinxue often looked at him like this, but he had never been so embarrassed.
Xiahou Qingyi remembered what happened on the road. On the way to Youzhou, the motorcade went to an inn in the town to rest. Mu Qinxue slept with her and mentioned it to her.
"He is used to being shameless, but he can't stand it when such a serious girl like you looks at him seriously."
Now she just felt her heart beating hard.
It seemed that from now on I could only look at him secretly.
Everyone resumed chatting, and after a while, another guard came downstairs to report.
"Master, Miss, the old man is back and has gone to take a shower and change clothes!"
Everyone immediately went to the lobby to wait.
Liang Xiao looked at the door with great expectation.
He had long heard Duan Yunxiu say that when the old Marquis of Dingguo heard that he had come to the capital, he instructed the Marquis of Dingguo to secretly take care of his business, and insisted on betrothing Mu Qinxue to him.
When the capital was moved, his father Liang Xun, in order to save all the generals, blamed the defeated army on one person.
Otherwise, as the general marshal, Marquis Lao Dingguo must bear the main responsibility, and it would not be as simple as a symbolic demotion to the third level afterwards.
Later, he learned through Mu Qinxue that his grandfather and Marquis Dingguo were also colleagues in the past, and they seemed to have a good relationship?
However, there was no close contact between the Dingguo House and the Lanling House decades ago, and their friendship seemed to be limited to colleagues.
The outside world speculated that the two military attaches chose to avoid suspicion in order to avoid being impeached by those big families.
But Liang Xiao always felt that things were not simple.
While Liang Xiao was thinking, an old but powerful call came from outside.
"Xiaoxue."
"grandfather!!"
The familiar voice brought tears to Mu Qinxue's eyes, and everyone quickly stood up to greet him.
As soon as he went out, Liang Xiao saw an old man in gray robe walking towards him with long strides.
His hair is covered with silver hair, but he is energetic and clean. He is obviously over seventy years old, but he looks like he is only over fifty, not much older than his son Mu Ping.
At this moment, he has a kind face and kind eyes. No one can believe that this is a marshal who has led troops and guarded the border for decades.
Marquis of Dingguo, Mu Dingguo, the only founding fathers of the Zhou Dynasty who were titled with their real names!
He guarded the frontier for decades without any complaints, and even took the initiative to apply to the court to accept the supervision of Xuanwei.
Since ancient times, power has been the most fascinating thing, and there are very few ministers who can be as loyal to the emperor and the country as he is and to be self-restrained and sensible.
According to Mu Qinxue, Mu Dingguo was able to have such an awakening because he once asked Zhuge Hui for advice on how to settle down and survive.
But being able to accept Zhuge Hui's suggestion also shows that he is extremely loyal.
According to Liang Xiao's knowledge, Mu Dingguo has the demeanor of Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He is slightly lacking in ability, but his moral character is not inferior to the latter, which is really rare.
The existence of this old Dingguo prince shared the pressure of the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty and Zhuge Hui.
Otherwise, after the disaster of moving the capital, Zhuge Hui would probably die of exhaustion in office.
From the moment Liang Xiao went out, this old man's eyes never left him and Mu Qinxue.
"These three generations of ancestors and grandsons are really alike..."
After Mu Dingguo sighed, Grandpa Liang Xiao's wild laughter flashed in his mind, and he gritted his teeth subconsciously.
Seeing this familiar face, his wedding decades ago seemed like it was yesterday.
One misstep will lead to eternal hatred!
"I have seen the chariot-riding general Ding Guohou!"
Liang Xiao and Xiahou Qingyi saluted Mu Dingguo with full respect.
"Grandpa~" Mu Qinxue threw herself into Mu Dingguo's arms and burst into tears.
"Ouch, my precious granddaughter." Mu Dingguo's eyes were slightly red, but his heart was filled with joy as he stared at Liang Xiao.
This good granddaughter still looks like a lady, without revealing her feminine nature.
good!
very good! !
In contrast, Mu Lingxiao had been guarding the border with Mu Dingguo for many years and was often scolded. He and his wife Aqi only respectfully paid their respects to their grandfather.
Seeing that Liang Xiao was humble and polite, Mu Dingguo suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered softly: "Let's go into the room and talk, it's all good things..."
