I promise

Chapter 992
The moon is in the east, and there is still an hour before dawn.

After Mu Dian could put it on, he went to Heshengtang to bid farewell to Chang Jihai and saw the sleeping children.When she came back to Wuyuan, Chang Qianfo had already got up and was sitting on the head of the bed with her hair loose, checking her luggage for any omissions.

In the past, I didn't realize how big a deal it was to travel far. One person and one horse, sometimes without even carrying a sword, went thousands of miles away, and went as soon as I said.

But this feeling of fetters is not bad.

"Let me comb your hair today." She tiptoed forward and hugged him gently from behind, "In the past, you always did my hair and eyebrows, but I didn't do much for you."

"You are willing to come to me, that is the best thing you can do for me."

"That's not true." Mu Dianke tightened his arms, pretending to be wronged, "I gave birth to a son for you; I also settled accounts for you, housekeeping..."

"Isn't that quite clear?" Chang Qianfo laughed.

Since we got married, we seldom parted for a long time.

Mu Dianke carefully combed Chang Qianfo's long black hair, brushed it with water shavings, and then combed it carefully from root to tip with a sandalwood comb.

Twist the hair once and twice, lean on the palm three times and four times, and comb the fifth and sixth times.

"Children, it's your hard work." Putting on her hair tie, she leaned over and rested her chin lightly on Chang Qianfo's shoulder, whispering in her ear, "I will miss you. I miss you the most."

Is there any father in the world who competes with his own son for favor?This is the one in front of me.

Satisfied that he had won three sons as he wished, Chang Qianfo raised Mu Dian's hand that was not holding a comb, kissed his fingertips, and smiled, "Don't worry, madam. I always have to work hard on my own." Only after returning home can I understand Madam's hard work in daily life."

As for how many concerns and worries I have in my heart, I will let her go anyway, so I won't disturb her heart by talking about it.

Xin Baige is a trustworthy person, and it only took one day to arrange all the affairs properly.At dawn, Mu Dianke and Mei Longxue appeared at the gate of the east city on horseback, while Xin Baige had been waiting in the Ten Mile Pavilion for half an hour.

The three of them were all dressed in the same way—they all wore the usual gray-blue cloth clothes and black cloth shoes; they wore dark black curtains on their heads, and their weapons were wrapped in a cloth case.

The intention is to keep a low profile.

But it's hard to keep a low profile when three people dressed in the same outfit walk together.

Luoyang has always been a prosperous place. Before the Liu family seized power and moved south, it was the capital of the former dynasty.Needless to say, the city walls are towering and erect, and the official roads outside the city are also very wide.

There are many caravans on the road.

However, following the outbreak of the rebellion in the sixteen counties of Jingzhou this spring, there were more responses from various places, and there were fewer horses and horses coming from the south.From time to time, I would meet refugees who moved north.

The further south you go, the worse the situation becomes.

Since April of this year, villagers in Ruyin, Huainan, and Yiyang counties have continued to have riots. The government suppressed them by force, but it was like pressing the gourd and lifting the ladle again. , In the end, this land is leveled and that land is reversed.

In this way, one crop after another was killed, and in some villages with severe rebellion, there was no one young and strong in the whole village, only the old and weak, women and children were left.

Hungry people are everywhere, causing new disasters.

Mu Dianke once witnessed a kind-hearted woman who distributed bread to beggars, attracting other hungry people to swarm up to loot it.

When several people rescued the woman, the poor woman was covered in scratches and trampled wounds. Her body was looted of money and jewelry, and even the innermost clothes were taken away because they were embroidered with silver thread.

If he hadn't been sent to the doctor in time, his life might have been lost.

If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

When even the stomach cannot be filled, there is no difference between man and beast.

A group of three people are all martial arts practitioners, dressed lightly, and arrived outside the city of Huainan County on the seventh day.

Seeing the setting sun sinking into the Huai River, the road ahead is vast and empty, and it is too late to go to the inn before dark.Several people lit a bonfire on the side of the road, boiled water in earthen pots picked up from the river, and ate dry food.

Put out the fire before anyone notices.

Mu Dianke has been a young wife for several years, and he has not lost his ability to survive in the wild. He cut off branches and peeled them, twisted ropes, weaved them into a net, hung them between two trees, spread grass leaves, and made a simple bed.

The three took turns to rest.

In the second half of the night, it was Mu Dianke's turn to be on duty.

The moon hangs on the tree, and the cuckoo crows across the mountain, evoking the longing that has been suppressed during the day.After becoming a mother, my mind has become extra soft.

She pulled out her sword and set aside an empty space on the ground. She first drew with the sword, but then felt that the line drawn by the tip of the sword was too sharp, so she folded a branch in her hand and slowly sketched it from memory.

Thinking of many dusks or nights, she and the twins were waiting for the Thousand Buddhas on the shore. The little ones were holding branches, lying on the sand to draw pictures, their buttocks pouted, their chubby faces... and the corners of their mouths could not be restrained. Yang laughs.

There was the rustling of grass leaves.

Xin Baige, who was supposed to be asleep like Mei Longxue, woke up at some point, walked over and sat down against the tree.

Mu Dian expected that she would have something to say, but he didn't take the initiative to ask, he waved the branches and sketched.In the drawing, an adult and three children are playing with a ball.

"Do you know that Mu Qingtong is the first emperor of the Ming Palace?" Xin Baige asked.

"I know." Mu Dian didn't raise his eyes.

"So when you set up a scheme to frame Mu Lan, kill Yan Guishan, and kill Luo Qi, Shu Yi was not the only one inside? Later, you used the death of your grandfather to lure the ancestral house in Qingshan to kill each other, and even used good talents to get rid of each other with one son and one daughter. Mu Lizhi and Mu Qingtong all participated? She also told you those secrets?"

Mu Dianke paused with his fingers.

Xin Baige asked this question very trickily. It seems to be looking into the details of the year, but in fact there is only one point: that is, whether the things she just mentioned were set up by Mu Qingtong alone, or just in her layout. Made a cooperation?
The meanings of the two are completely different.

Mu Qingtong's identity as the first seat has been exposed, she knows it, Mu Cangping knows it, even Mu Qingtong himself knows it.

Under such circumstances, Mu Qingtong dared to return to Luoyang, betting that Mu Cangping was conceited enough to use her radish to bring other mud.

And Mu Cangping also wanted to find out the depth of Mu Qingtong's strength.

"The things you said have nothing to do with me." Mu Dianke looked up at Xin Baige seriously and said, "But I don't think that these are all written by Mu Qingtong. No matter the personal relationship between Yan Guishan and Zheng Yunrong , or the dirty inside story of the Qingshan ancestral house, it is a long-standing thing, it did not happen suddenly. It is not impossible for someone to plan in advance and teach her to wait for the opportunity."

There is a good chance.

She is too familiar with the way of playing the game - the evolution and advancement of every thing is incredible, but it is true that one thing is followed by another, and it is inevitable, it all depends on people's accurate grasp - it is Xu Younan's style!

Xin Baige was silent for a moment, as if thinking about whether Mu Dianke's words could be trusted.

"Thank you for telling the truth," she said.

"You're welcome." Mu Dianke's eyelashes flickered, and he looked down at his feet, "If she really came back to Luoyang as an agent of the Northern Kingdom, I shouldn't protect her any longer."

The reason why she took the charge of murdering Elder Qingshan at the beginning was to prevent Mu Qingtong from being exposed as a superior and to save her life.

However, she still underestimated Mu Cangping.

He also underestimated Mu Qingtong's determination to serve the Ming Palace, and he did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of national righteousness.
