auspicious time has come

Chapter 146 It's so cute
Xiao Mu's fingers half-hidden in his sleeves were slightly curled up, and he said "um", "Let's go back together."

"However... Lord Hou is facing more than old enemies now." Heng Yu said: "They don't know who you were originally, and what they are afraid of now is Xiao Jieshi and Lu Longjun—this predicament is not just Lord Hou. Human."

"Those who go to settle old matters are time respectful." His voice was calm: "And this time when entering Beijing, what Xiao Mu needs to do is to think about the future of Beidi, and if he can't fight, he won't fight. I will do my best on the side of the prince. Give it a try."

Heng Yu couldn't help but look at him: "So, while Master Hou has gone to settle old matters, this time is equivalent to going to talk about peace—"

"After fighting for a long time, I know that the word 'harmony' is more valuable than the word 'victory'." Walking out of the long corridor, Xiao Mu said: "If we really can't reach an agreement, it is not too late to fight when we have to fight, but in the Before that, always show your sincerity and try your best.”

Heng Yu sighed lightly: "It is true that the two armies are fighting and negotiating peace, but Hou Ye is not an ordinary envoy after all, this matter must not be taken lightly."

Instead, Xiao Mu's tone was casual: "It's okay, two things will come together in this trip, so I won't return empty-handed."

How can it be so easy?

Any one of them is obviously as difficult as reaching the sky, and all of them are in danger of life.

And these two things, one private and one public, seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are actually inextricably linked, and even in a sense, they are contradictory——

He wants to settle his old hatred, and this hatred is probably related to the person in that position, but at the same time he needs to negotiate peace with the imperial court for the sake of the North, or with the prince who represents the interests of the imperial court.

"If two things can only be achieved, and one must be given up, how will Lord Hou choose?" Heng Yu couldn't help asking.

"If it were you, how would you choose?" Xiao Mu asked back.

Hengyu thought for a while, and said: "I don't want to choose—it's one if I can become one, I can't control so many, just do it."

It's just that her idea seems somewhat out of order, so I want to hear how he, who is always sensible, plans——

"I think so too." Xiao Mu said.

"?" Heng Yu looked at him.

"Just go forward. If the time comes when you have to choose, you and I will often be out of control." Xiao Mu said with his hands behind his back.

Heng Yu nodded.

This is true.

All kinds of things in the world cannot be controlled by people. No matter how well you plan, the situation may not necessarily develop according to your own plan.

"However, it may not be necessary to choose, and we have to think about the benefits..." Heng Yu said: "What if the two things fail when I go to the capital this time? When the time comes, Lord Hou will retreat completely and lead his troops to rebel. It’s enough—although we have to fight, it’s easy.”

"You call this 'thinking for the best'?" Xiao Mu looked at her amusedly, and immediately said: "If there really is a day, I will invite you to be a military advisor in the army."

Hengyu looked at him pretending to be wary: "Why, you want to pull me to rebel together?"

"Not an ally?"

"That's an ally who avenges her personal revenge—" She carefully considered: "Rebellion, that's a different price."

Xiao Mu was also generous: "Then you come to make an offer then."

Heng Yu understands that although the two of them are chatting and laughing, but in his heart, more than anyone else, he does not hope that there will be such a day.

If it was really as easy as said, he would not have rejected Yan Ming's proposal so simply that day.

Many things in the world can not be controlled by human power, but human power must be exhausted first, even if this human power needs to be exhausted with one's life——Looking at ancient and modern times, there is always such a fool in this world and in history books.

Heng Yu subconsciously looked at the fool beside him.

Before meeting this person, she never knew that someone could separate home and country so clearly.

Although she also thinks she is quite sensible, but in the end she is just talking, and she is in a completely different position from him——

His family feud is just a family feud, and there has never been any confusion. He has no hatred for the person in the highest position, but he is still willing to sprinkle his blood for the stability of the country.

If there is only confusion, it is that he has sacrificed too much, whether it is family feud or the heavy responsibility of the country and the burden of the Northland.

"Master Hou, don't you complain?" She suddenly asked softly.

"Resentment." Xiao Mu didn't hesitate.

"Then why are you so persistent?"

Hengyu felt that if compared to being miserable, she was far inferior to him.

The family has been loyal ministers for generations, shed so much blood, but in exchange for the family being wronged and died, they are still bearing the name of rebels, and they have no home, so why do they have the mood to protect the homes of the people in the world? Woolen cloth?
She even thought that if she were him, she would probably also complain about this world, at least she would not like this world anymore.

"When I was young, I made an oath in front of my father that I would protect the stability of Dasheng for the rest of my life. My father said that the Shi family's allegiance is not to a certain position, let alone a certain person, but to the territory of Dasheng."

Recalling the past, there was an imperceptible trace of shame and loneliness in his voice: "Young and stubborn, with an unruly heart, I promised my father many things, but never kept them. If it is possible, this one, I want to keep the promise."

He dare not draw conclusions on other matters, but on the matter of protecting Dasheng, he believes that his father will not regret it until he dies.

"Your Majesty Nuo has kept it very well." Hengyu looked at him and said, "Zongri's way of doing things seems to be different in the future, but I think if Uncle Shi is alive in heaven, he will agree, because he will definitely I understand, Master Hou's heart has not changed, it has always been based on the word 'keep'."

She has heard a lot about Shu Guogong's deeds. He was a resolute man, even if he died wronged, he would not have any regrets in guarding the great prosperity of the country.

But as for his family, does he really not regret it?
The coming of some crises may seem sudden, but it will not be without warning, especially as the head of the family will not be unaware of it-that's why the Shi family sent Yan Ming away in advance.

It's just that in Shu Guogong's view, he had no choice, or he tried to save him, but he never felt rebellious.

Xiao Mu is very similar to his father, but he is not his father after all, or he has absorbed his father's experience - so he will "have to fight".

"You've thought of all the excuses for me." Xiao Mu said with a smile in his tone, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, who told you that I'm an ally." Heng Yu said, and suddenly thought: "Master Hou is not going to do anything to the Pei family, right?"

"Well, the Pei family is just a pawn. As for Pei Ding, he is a pawn in the hands of the pawns. He is insignificant in the Pei clan and is of no use to me." Xiao Mu said: "And now that he is about to enter the capital, it is not appropriate to expose it for the time being." If there are too many, confrontation with Jiang Zhengfu should be avoided, so that it will be more convenient to act after entering Beijing."

Heng Yu nodded in agreement: "Then after Lord Hou leaves, Pei Cishi will finally be able to sleep well and eat an extra bowl of rice, probably to the extent of burning incense and setting off firecrackers to kowtow respectfully."

Xiao Mu glanced at her: "Why, I can't be the God of Plague."

Hengyu laughed "hey", saw a fork in the road ahead, and said: "You don't need to send it off anymore, I can just go back by myself."

Xiao Mu glanced at her: "I'm going to my mother's place."

"?" Heng Yu's smile faltered.

"Let's go together." Xiao Mu suggested.

Heng Yu opened his mouth and refused: "I won't be that shield."

He definitely wanted to tell Aunt Xiao about going to Beijing, and he knew how Aunt Xiao would react without even thinking about it.

"How can it be a shield? Even if my mother has a hundred arrows in her hand, she is reluctant to let half of them fall on you." Xiao Mu carefully weighed the pros and cons: "With you here, she can at least scold me less."

Heng Yu was quite dishonest: "That's not going, I've been looking for you since morning, and I'm still hungry."

"It's easy to handle. After I come back from my mother, I'll have someone prepare some good wine and food. I should thank you for giving up your life to accompany you—"

Hengyu gave a "tsk" sound: "What are you risking your life for? You're about to go out, so it's better not to say bad things."

Xiao Mu looked at her curiously: "You are usually the most outspoken, when did you pay attention to this?"

Hengyu looked forward: "I didn't care about it before, but I just learned it recently."

"I learned it for Ben Hou Gang." Xiao Mu asked.

Hengyu blinked her eyes, and when she was thinking about how to answer, she only heard him continue: "You just learned it just to scold me?"

"...Heh." Heng Yu squeezed out a dry laugh, and then looked at him curiously: "Master Hou..."

"Ok?"

"When you were young, didn't you deserve a beating when you acted and talked?"

After she asked, she saw that the man had his hands behind his back, his figure was straight, his expression felt good and he said: "How could it be that this Marquis was quite likable when he was young."

"Surely that must be the treatment you get when you shut up?"

"Then when I get to my mother, you can tell me—"

"Why?"

"Didn't you tell Ben Hou to shut up?"

"...!" Heng Yu almost couldn't help but slap him on the head.

This guy was lucky not to be with her family when he was young, otherwise she would not be too much to beat three times a day, at least eight times to make up a lucky number!
When the two came to Mrs. Xiao's courtyard arguing, Mrs. Xiao, who had just woken up from her lunch break, was lying on the bed holding a booklet and reading it fascinated.

Hearing the two people coming, he hurriedly got out of bed, dressed and combed his hair. Finally, he did not forget to tuck the booklet under the pillow and went out with a dignified smile of an elder.

"What? Go to the capital?" After hearing what Xiao Mu said, Mrs. Xiao was very surprised.

"Yes."

"With... Ah Heng?" Mrs. Xiao blinked.

Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment before nodding: "...Yes."

Madam Xiao's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Hengyu happily.

Xiao Mu, who obviously felt that his mother's thinking was crooked, was afraid that she would say something shocking, so he immediately said, "It's called by a sage."

Mrs. Xiao was taken aback for a moment, a smile froze on her face.

"saint?"

"The Qianqiu Festival is in May, and the sage called his son to Beijing for a feast."

"Qianqiu Festival..." Mrs. Xiao fixed her eyes on Xiao Mu for a moment, and then asked: "The oracle, did you call me to go with you?"

Xiao Mu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Never."

"How is it possible?" Mrs. Xiao said with an air of "is there any mistake?"
