Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 698

Song Jue looked at the three people who followed Ying Shisan and quickly left the study room, then looked down at the two servings of roast meat in front of him, and sighed softly.

"You run really fast!" Song Jinyu also sighed, "Who is this Mu Sheng? Why are they so interested?"

"A person who is very important to us." Song Jue waved at Song Jinyu, "Don't worry about that, let's try the dishes!"

Seeing Song Jue like this, Song Jinyu knew that he didn't want to continue talking, picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of roast meat and put it on the plate in front of Song Jue.

Song Jue's mind was not on the roast meat at all, and his thoughts had already followed Song Qiyun and the others to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

He believed that Tantai Pingchuan was sincerely on his side or on Daxia's side, and with Xuanyuan's family as the guarantee, he would never be able to get out of the sky, not to mention that this senior is old and has left everything behind. They all take it lightly, and just want to live in peace and stability.

Song Jue had no doubts about this at all. What he was worried about was the position of the Mu family and those who were loyal to Tantai Pingchuan, whether they would clearly choose the same camp and stand on the same side as his lord.

Thinking of this, Song Jue couldn't help but sigh again, maybe too many things happened recently, and he also started to feel suspicious.

Song Jinyu and Eunuch Cui looked at Song Jue who was lost in thought, looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time. Being an emperor is really not easy.

Song Qiyun, Bai Meng, and Jin Miaomiao, who followed Ying Shisan back to the Duke's Mansion, met Tantai Pingchuan who had also received the news at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. They saluted at the door, entered the door together, and went to the warm hall. direction to go.

Ying Shisan pushed open the door of the warming room, and respectfully invited Tantai Pingchuan in. In the warming room, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Dai Yi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, all stood up and saluted Tantai Pingchuan when they saw Tantai Pingchuan.

Tantai Pingchuan nodded slightly towards them, and looked at the tall and thin man standing in the center of the warming room.

In fact, the eyes of the few people who came in afterward were all attracted by this man.

This man is nine feet tall, but he is very thin. He looks not in good health. He is not as fat as ordinary businessmen, nor as strong as a warrior. At first glance, he is a very An ordinary person who is tall, thrown in the crowd, will not make any special impression on everyone.

Song Qiyun, who had been in the shadow training camp for a while, couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw this unattractive middle-aged man. He is really a good material for a spy. It is so suitable.

"Senior, please!" Shen Haolin originally intended to give up his seat to Tantai Pingchuan, but Tantai Pingchuan refused, and chose to sit on his lower head. When everyone else was seated, look at that tall, thin middle-aged man. The man, looking at the young child standing next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, "The atmosphere is not right, are you arguing?"

"Senior, don't worry, there is no quarrel, it's just that they have some small troubles that need to be resolved." Shen Cha shook his head lightly, "Senior may know that there is a marriage contract between the Mu family and the Dai family, but in the current situation, the marriage contract seems to be A little embarrassing."

"It's really embarrassing." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "What do you two think?"

"Returning to the Lord, this subordinate thinks so. If this marriage contract really has a bad influence on Xiao Dai, or becomes his trouble, the subordinate can agree to terminate the engagement. And..."

"What else?" Tantai Pingchuan raised his eyebrows, "Don't be hesitant, don't have any worries, just speak up if you have anything to say, I believe the Duke and the general will understand all the decisions you make."

"Yes, my lord, and my subordinates also think so. But this decision does not affect our relationship with the Duke's Mansion, but the relationship between the Mu family and the Dai family." That tall, thin middle-aged man, the current head of the Mu family, When the family member Mu Sheng looked at Dai Yi, stood up straight, faced him, and said, "Let me just say it directly, since the day you left Xijing for Jiapingguan City, I have already started to think about whether to dissolve this engagement." gone."

"Uncle Mu, you..." Dai Yi never thought that Mu Sheng would say such a thing, he looked at the other party in shock, "I..."

"Don't worry, let me tell you slowly. First of all, there is only one girl in our Mu family for several generations. She is the treasure we hold in our hands. Putting aside other positions and identities, but from a father's In terms of status, I don't want to see my daughter marry far away from the border."

"It doesn't have to be to marry far away, she can..."

"Can you stay in Xijing as a widow?" Mu Sheng sneered, "Do you think this is suitable for my daughter? Is it fair? If your sisters and daughters want to live such a life, as brothers and fathers, do you think you Can you take it?"

"I..." Dai Yi swallowed, and said with difficulty, "I...should...can't accept it."

"Compare your heart to your heart, you can't even accept this, why force us to accept it?"

"Uncle, you misunderstood, I didn't force it, I just..."

"You just don't know how to make this choice, how to make this decision, right?"

"Yes." Dai Yi admitted that he was very conflicted, "I don't want to disappoint my sister, and I don't want her to be involved in our disputes. From the day I found out your true identity, I was panicked and didn't know what to do. Except Uncle, your reason just now is also very important, even if our two families have fulfilled this marriage contract, even if I know that even in the next fifty years or even longer, you and this senior will be the same as us faction, but they still have grievances, and they still have involuntary doubts."

"Don't you think clearly? Why are you still so hesitant?" Mu Sheng looked at him incomprehensibly, "Once the seed of doubt in your heart is planted, it will take root sooner or later. In the early stage of marriage, your little life will be very sweet and warm, but as time goes by, the seed of doubt will start to sprout. If the younger sister follows you to the border, you will I suspect that she told me everything she saw at the border, and I suspect that she passed on some news about the border and Jiaping Pass for me. If she doesn’t go to the border with you, you will also suspect that she is staring at Dai’s family. Every move." He sighed softly, "Maybe you will convince yourself that these are all your guesses, and my little sister didn't do this, but the more times you do it, the guesses will become the facts in your mind. And when it comes to This day, even if the two of you have come to an end, either you divorce your wife, or..." He shook his head lightly, "It won't end well anyway, right?"

"You're right, I've thought about all these questions, but..."

"If you propose to terminate the engagement, you can't say it because you feel sorry for my little sister and think it's bad for her reputation." Seeing Dai Yi nodding, Mu Sheng smiled, "You are a good boy, I read correctly People. This engagement will be terminated by our Mu family, so you don't have to make trouble." He looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "My lord, is this okay?"

"Master Guo, Xiaocha, what do you think?" Tantai Pingchuan looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "If you have no objection, then it's decided."

Both of them nodded at the same time, this is the best solution.
