Tuoba Mu saw the general standing at the door, saying a few words to the youngest son of Jingzhou and patting him on the shoulder. The distance was too far and Tuoba Mu couldn't hear what they were talking about. He could only see congratulations to Jin Chao. Respectfully bid farewell to the general.
But that sense of importance can be seen as long as one is not blind.
Tuoba Mu looked at the leaving Jingzhou's youngest son, and suddenly felt a gaze. He looked up and saw Master Jiedu standing in front of the hall, looking in his direction with his hands behind his back.
Discovered? Tuoba Mu subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but for some reason, his feet were out of his control and he walked out of the thick shadow of the trees. He walked from the dark to the front of the light. The candlelight in the lobby was even brighter than the sun. Make him completely invisible.
He stood in the hall, alone.
Zhou Xu looked at Tuoba Mu, a little alien wolf cub. His eldest brother A Gu was a big wolf cub. Different from A Gu, Tuoba Mu used to be more like the shadow of Tuoba A Gu. From now on, he will go with Zhou Shiliu. After going to Nanji Academy, he became the shadow of Zhou Shiliu again.
Always likes to hide in the dark and be taciturn.
Zhou Xu looked at Amu's current attire for a while, then walked towards the back garden. After a while, he heard Tuoba Mu's footsteps following him.
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?" Zhou Xu sat down in a small pavilion in a garden, rolled up his sleeves to dispel the smell of alcohol on his body, and his eyes were clear and sharp.
Tuoba Mu stood up in front of the general: "The banquet was lively and I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."
"Sit down, don't be so restrained." Zhou Xu said.
Tuoba Mu sat down. Under the cold moonlight, his face looked a little pale: "I saw that Mr. He Lang from Jingzhou did not leave the house, but went to the guest house."
"I am a guest today. There are many houses in the mansion, and it is so late, so of course I have to stay in the guest house." Zhou Xu said seriously: "He is the son of He Jingzhou after all."
Tuoba Mu's heart sank, his hand holding the sword tightened and loosened, then loosened and tightened again, and he said in a hard and dry tone: "My Lord values He Langjun so much, is it because he wants to marry He Jingzhou?"
Zhou Xu looked at Tuoba Mu with a half-smile but not a smile: "He Xiaolangjun is handsome and has a good family background. If he is paired with Qingxue, he is barely a good candidate."
Tuoba Mu lowered his head, and Zhou Xu looked at Amu's dull temper. He had already talked about it to this point, but Amu still didn't say anything? I don't even have the courage to refute him, and I feel like I'm dying!
Zhou Xu waved his hand and asked him to leave, so as not to disturb his eyes, and he felt melancholy and depressed. After Cui Shizi overheard the process, he looked at Tuoba Mu's soulless back and said to his lord: "My lord, why do you have to say something specious? Deliberately misleading General Tuoba."
Zhou Xu glanced at him: "I only said that Mr. He Xiaolang is a good candidate, but I didn't say that he must be. Tuoba Mu thought wrongly. Who is to blame?"
Cui Shizi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Your words can easily make people think wrong, let alone a fool who is in love."
"How can you tell what Amu is thinking?" Zhou Xu said.
Cui Shizi spread his fan and said: "Sometimes, when a person loves someone, his love will flow out from his eyes. As long as Qingxue is present, General Tuoba will definitely look at Qingxue."
"What kind of love is that? He has no courage at all." Zhou Xu sneered coldly.
Cui Shizi sat down and sighed: "General Tuoba is a foreigner after all. How can he compare with you, my lord? In fact, I originally thought you wanted Qingxue to marry He Xiaolangjun."
After all, this is the optimal solution.
"No way." Zhou Xu thought of Madam and sighed: "Qingxue is Madam's best friend and my precious daughter. How can I be willing to let her get married?"
Besides, this is something he promised his wife a long time ago.
On the other side, Xiao Qingxue, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw Tuoba Mu coming back. She didn't notice anything strange about him, so she lay on the window sill and asked anxiously: "Amu, what on earth are Dad and the others talking about tonight?" ah?"
Dad was acting weird this afternoon, so in the evening, Xiao Qingxue sent Amu to get information. As a result, he waited until late at night.
"Amu, are you talking?" Xiao Qingxue pushed Amu and found that Amu kept his head down.
Tuoba Mu stood in front of the window and finally raised his head.
Xiao Qingxue was stunned. It was difficult for her to describe Amu's expression. Under the long eyelashes, his dark blue eyes seemed to be rolling with waves, full of forbearing gloom and bottomless sadness. He held his hand He took her hand and put it against his cheek.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qingxue's voice softened unconsciously. She felt that Amu looked a bit fragile like this.
"My lord seems to want you to marry He Langjun, the youngest son of Jingnan Jiedushi." Tuoba Mu said slowly.
Xiao Qingxue was confused for a moment, who is the youngest son of Jingzhou? She had never seen it before, so Amu didn't look like he was joking. Could it be that A'ba secretly made a decision for her? No, it shouldn't be. Dad would tell her no matter what.
Xiao Qingxue calmed herself down: "Probably, probably not." She became inexplicably anxious.
"I have met Mr. He Xiaolang." Tuoba Mu lowered his eyes: "He is very good-looking and has a good family background."
"No matter how nice he is, what does it have to do with me?" Xiao Qingxue became even more angry when she heard Amu's compliments: "Why do you speak for him?"
Tuoba Mu's cheek pressed tightly against Madam Xiao's palm, and his breath was hot: "...He Xiaolangjun is very suitable for you."
Xiao Qingxue stamped her feet angrily, and became even angrier when she heard Amu's reply: "Okay, since Mr. He Xiaolang is so good and so worthy of me, don't come to see me again in the future!"
Xiao Qingxue tried to pull her hand back, but failed. She said angrily: "Men and women are not intimate, Tuoba Mu, don't you know?"
Tuoba Mu took a breath and let go of his hand.
Xiao Qingxue was almost pissed off by this idiot. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She said hurriedly: "After I get married to that Mr. He Xiaolang, you are not allowed to come to see me!"
Tuoba Mu's long eyelashes trembled twice, and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "No."
Xiao Qingxue was really angry this time and laughed: "Why not? You are not allowed to see me."
"I want to see you." Tuoba Mu said in a low voice: "If you two get married, I will station troops in Jingzhou, right by your side."
"You are simply sick!" Xiao Qingxue was shocked by Tuoba Mu's unusual brain circuitry, and was angry at his reticent character: "You really want me to get married to Nahe Langjun?"
As she spoke, Xiao Qingxue's eyes turned red.
Tuoba Mu panicked for a moment, his heart aching: "How could it be possible? Of course I don't want it."
Xiao Qingxue was a little satisfied and glared at Amu who was at a loss. She felt that it was all his fault tonight, which made her sad again: "Then you still assume so much?"
"I just..." Tuoba Mu thought of He Xiaolangjun's extraordinary family background and demeanor: "I just think you will like He Langjun. He has extraordinary style, outstanding family background, and is a gentleman. He is a rare candidate for a husband. .”
Xiao Qingxue looked at Amu and realized that he didn't feel uncomfortable saying this? It was obvious that he was about to cry, the ends of his eyes were red, and his low whispers were mixed with pain and resentment towards Nagaro-kun.
Tuoba Mu knew that his identity was just a vassal of Zhou Youzhou, and he was also a foreigner. He was as different from Madam Xiao as clouds of mud. Tuoba Mu felt that his heart was about to be torn in half.
Xiao Qingxue said deliberately: "Look, you praise He Langjun so much, but what if I don't like him and don't want to marry him?"
"What should you do?" Xiao Qingxue approached Amu, nose to nose, and asked.
Tuoba Mu immediately clenched his sword, his eyes were like fire lit by lightning, and his pupils reflected Madam Xiao's face.
"If you don't like it, if you need me."
"I'll take you away."
"I will never give up even if I die."
Xiao Qingxue looked at Tuoba Mu and found that his whole body seemed to have turned into a knife, trying to cut through the thorns for her, and also seemed like an arrow, trying to send her to the farthest place.
Xiao Qingxue tilted her head slightly and looked at Tuoba Mu: "Amu, do you like me?"
Early the next morning.
When Xiao Qingxue took Amu to greet her father, she saw He Langjun, who was indeed as Amu said, handsome and handsome, and his father also valued him very much.
After they all left, Xiao Qingxue looked at her father and finally asked her question: "Dad, do you want to send me to Jingzhou for marriage?"
Zhou Xu looked at his daughter who was a little anxious but pretended to be calm, and asked, "Who said that?"
"Amu said you seemed to have this plan." Xiao Qingxue bit her lip.
Zhou Xu snorted coldly.
"Is that true or false?" Xiao Qingxue gave her father a cup of tea and looked at him eagerly.
"Of course it's fake." Zhou Xu took the tea: "I deliberately deceived that boy last night. He was honest in front of you and said anything."
"I knew it." Xiao Qingxue was completely relieved: "Why are you scaring me when Dad is fine? Amu was so scared by you that he almost took me to escape from the marriage."
Zhou Xu was angry and acted like a dull gourd in front of him. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the little wolf Tuoba Mu and wanted to elope without saying a word?
"What did he say?" Zhou Xu put down the tea cup.
Xiao Qingxue told what happened last night. After Zhou Xu listened, he took a sip of tea and sneered: "If I take you away, you won't be afraid that I will kill him."
However, the courage shown by Tuoba Mu is still remarkable.
Everything can be based on the wishes of your good daughter.
"Then Dad, what are you going to do in Jingnan?" Xiao Qingxue was already in trouble after learning about Jing Xiang's importance from Amu. She remembered that Shen Zhi had a fiancée, and Xie was still helping the court. It kept them busy.
"If there is no other way." Xiao Qingxue pursed her lips and said with difficulty: "Dad, you don't have to worry about me."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Zhou Xu rubbed his daughter's head and said with a smile, "I will take care of this matter."
Zhou Xu stood up.
Only then did Xiao Qingxue realize that her father was wearing light armor today, he was calm and powerful, and he was tall and tall.
"Marriage is not the only way in this world." Zhou Xu held his long sword and said: "On the bank of the Han River, we made an alliance through blood, became sworn brothers with Jinlan, and became brothers with He Jingzhou."
"Old Jingzhou is older than me. Isn't this the right way to call him big brother?"
After listening to Xiao Qingxue, this seems to be okay.
The ancients still attached great importance to the righteousness of sworn vows, and people who had a good relationship would even become close friends. When they formed a sworn relationship, the Han River was used as a witness. The ceremony was grand and profound, no less than that of in-laws.
It can even leave a mark in the history books.
Chapter 309
As soon as she came out of Luoqi Pavilion and entered the handwriting corridor, Xiao Qingxue saw Master Lian. He was accompanying He Langjun, the youngest son of Jingzhou. There were occasional laughter between the two of them.
"Miss Xiao." When He Jinchao saw Mrs. Xiao, he raised his hands and saluted.
Xiao Qingxue also returned a wish to him: "Congratulations to Mr. Lian." She looked at Mr. Lian and said, "Sir Lian, why didn't I see Mr. Gongyang all morning?"
Lian Dalang said quickly: "Brother Gongyang attended the general's dinner party yesterday and drank too much Jinling wine. He still hasn't woken up."
Xiao Qingxue said: "I am quite interested in Lingnan. You can ask him to wake up and come see me later."
"Okay." Lian Dalang agreed. At the same time, he felt that Gong Yangyan had been away from the Central Plains for a long time and had forgotten all the etiquette.
Seeing that they had something to talk about, He Jinchao found an excuse to go and enjoy the scenery by himself. As soon as he left, Xiao Qingxue said: "The lychees from Lingnan are very delicious. My father gave them all to me. Lord Lian, do you want to try them?" ?”
Lian Dalang smiled and said: "It's a great honor for Mr. Lian."
Xiao Qingxue and Mr. Lian walked to Bomeng Xiaozhu together. Lian Bowen guessed what Mrs. Xiao would do to him. When they arrived at Bomeng Xiaozhu, Xiao Qingxue asked Xia He to bring fresh lychees, and Dalang Lian He didn't eat either. Seeing no one around him, he said, "Miss Xiao, is there anything you want me to do?"
Xiao Qingxue looked at Lian Dalang, who had helped her a lot. Aniang had made a mistake when she accepted the refugees. With Lian Dalang on her side, he had indeed helped her a lot, whether it was openly or secretly. of.
"This time I came to Mr. Lian, the first thing I want to do is thank you." Xiao Qingxue said.
Lian Dalang said hurriedly: "Young lady, you are serious."
