Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"That's right. Tomorrow will definitely be a bloody battle. The little prince must know by now that my other five towns' soldiers and horses have gone to the front line. By the way, Su Mu, where are the soldiers and horses of each town now?" Zhengde asked.

Su Mu pointed to the map and said, "Today the Tatars are in such a hurry to attack me that there is no news. We can only infer where the soldiers and horses of the other five towns are from yesterday. If everything goes well, now, The troops from Liaodong and Xuanxuanfu towns should have arrived in Datong, and they are advancing from north to south, and have blocked the little prince's route back to the north."

Having said that, Su Mu's eyes couldn't help but fall towards Huai'anwei, and then quickly moved away.

Fortunately, Zhengde didn't notice Su Mu's strangeness: "Go on."

Su Mu: "Ningxia Town and Yansui Town have already crossed the Yellow River, and the west and northwest lines are also stuck."

Zhengde: "If the little prince is defeated, he will definitely go back to the north on this route. Ningxia Town has undergone a revolution two years ago, and now its strength has not yet recovered, and it has gone through a great battle. At that time, it will be difficult for the soldiers and horses of the two towns to catch the little prince." .We can only rely on the Great Wall to see if we can seize the convenient location.”

"Your Majesty is right, so Taiyuan Town is the key. After two days of bloody battle in Datong Town, I should not have much fighting power. Therefore, the two towns of Taiyuan and Xuanfu can only decide the outcome of the war. Taiyuan is The Shanxi Army Town is now ambushed behind Yanmen Pass, and they will be able to reach the battlefield in a day."

"So, I can go to sleep with peace of mind. But..."

"But what?" Su Mu thought he still had some mistakes, so he couldn't help asking.

Zhengde: "After a day of bloody battle outside, I want to hold my pillow high, isn't it a bit like a faint king?"

"His Majesty……"

"Haha, if you are a fool, let's be a fool!" Zhengde laughed loudly: "You go back to sleep too, it's cold, if your voice is hoarse, what use will I make of you?"

Only then did Su Mu realize that Emperor Zhengde was joking with him, so he saluted and withdrew.

After returning to the place where he lived, before Su Mu entered the house, he saw a tall man standing at the door.

This person was dressed in civilian clothes, with a pair of green eyeballs shining brightly in the dark, like a wolf.

After a busy day, Su Mu was exhausted and his mind was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he realized that this person was the death row prisoner named Wu Yun who was locked up with Mei Niang.

"Your name is Wu Yun?" Su Mu stopped, and when he opened his mouth, he realized that he was beyond dumb, and his throat was like a small flame burning, dry and painful.

Wu Yun knelt down in front of Su Mu with a plop, kowtowed his head heavily, and said with tears: "Caomin Wu Yun kowtowed to see Enxiang, Enxiang's grace of life, Wu Yun is grateful. There is nothing to repay, this life in this life is It's kind."

This head knocked loudly, obviously exhausting all its strength.

Su Mu smiled hoarsely: "What are you doing standing here?"

Wu Yun: "Master En rescued the villain. In fact, the villain also knew that it was all thanks to Mei Niang. Mei Niang was in the house, and there was chaos outside. The villain naturally wanted to protect her well."

Su Mu: "Have you been standing all day?"

"Exactly, the villain dare not leave."

Su Mu: "Do you know martial arts?"

"The villain doesn't know it, and he hasn't learned it before." Wu Yun said: "However, the villain has a lot of strength. He has been a thief for many years, and he has had many lives on his hands. He is really desperate with a knife and a gun, but he is afraid. "

Su Mu asked: "Don't mention the kindness and non-kindness. I am just a small Hanlin scholar, not a elder. According to you, you want to join my sect?"

"How dare a villain have such wishful thinking. He only wants to be a slave under Enxiang's family."

"Hey, what have you been doing as a thief for many years, with many lives in your hands, what does it have to do with me? Since I rescued you, I won't let you die again. You are Mei Niang's elder brother, follow her , take good care of her."

"Thank you Enxiang, thank you Enxiang." Wu Yun was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again: "Don't worry, Enxiang, as long as the villain lives, Mrs. Mei Niang will never be hurt."

"The bachelor is back?" At this time, Wang Cheng also came over to salute.

"Are you there too?" Su Mu asked curiously.

Wang Cheng smiled wryly: "If you're going back to the bachelor, the officials have already offended Qian Ning to death, and now there's nowhere to go. I'm afraid the brocade clothes will be taken off."

"Take off your brocade clothes, it's not that serious." Su Mu said lightly: "It's the same sentence, since you helped me, it won't let you end badly. For the time being, you stay here, and everything will be done after this battle is over." I'm talking. When the time comes, you'll just have to go to experience Hu. If it doesn't work, I still have a bit of a face with His Majesty.",

Wang Cheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Bachelor."

Su Mu pointed to Wu Yun again: "You heard what Wu Yun said just now, give him an armor and a set of weapons later."

"Yes, Wang Cheng will arrange it now."

"Wait." Su Mu stopped him: "What happened to the matter of killing prisoners and offering sacrifices to the flag?"

He was still a little worried. He saved two death row prisoners in one breath. He was afraid that Qian Ning would be furious, and he didn't know how he would arrange himself in front of the emperor.

Wang Cheng: "Originally, Qian Ning planned to kill the prisoner and sacrifice the flag early this morning, but didn't the Tatars come here at dawn? In order to arouse the bloody courage in the soldiers' voices. Today's battle is so fierce, our soldiers' eyes have already turned red, do we still need to see blood again?"

"Yes, yes, I have seen enough blood today." Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Facts have proved that it is unnecessary to kill prisoners and sacrifice flags now.Even if Qian Ning wanted to, the emperor and the generals didn't have the time to pay attention to him.

So, it's just a joke so far.

Whether Mei Niang is dead or alive, even Qian Ning probably has no interest in caring about it.

This incident, can be regarded as inexplicable passed.

As for Jin Yiwei's other prisoner on death row, no one cared.

Shaking his head, Su Mu strode into his room.

Because according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers are not allowed to bring their family members with them when they go out to fight, otherwise it will be a capital offense.

Therefore, the book office and attendants in the house were cleared out, leaving Meiniang alone in the house.Of course, with Su Mu's current status, no one would dare to take care of him even if he brought concubines with him in the army.

This is the reason why the so-called punishment cannot be punished by a doctor.

Mei Niang was sitting on Su Mucai's bedside, today was a day full of ups and downs for her.

Seeing that she was about to be beheaded, when she thought of her daughter Nannan at a critical moment, Mei Niang gritted her teeth and asked Wang Cheng to invite Su Mu.

But he didn't want to, as soon as Wang Cheng left, he was taken into a tent on his back foot, saying that he was going to serve some kind of high-ranking officer.

Naturally, Meiniang was determined to die, and if she grabbed a torch, she would set it on fire.

At this time, the wicked Su Mu arrived and rescued himself.

Next, the big villain threw himself in this room and refused to show up.

Throughout the whole day, the shouts and screams outside have not stopped.Although Mei Niang was a strong woman, she was still terrified when she fell into such a big battlefield.

She has suffered a lot these days, and now she finally couldn't hold on anymore, and there were dark clouds outside to guard the door, so she leaned her head on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

In her sleep, Mei Niang was still frowning, her delicate eyebrows looked extremely beautiful under the light.

Her face was still smooth and fair, only her eyelids were a little red and swollen.

Su Mu sighed in his heart, this woman has really suffered a lot in the past few years, it was my Su Mu's fault, I shouldn't have let her go when I was in Cangzhou.However, at that time, I was in a critical situation, how could I take care of her?

Now that we are reunited this time, we can't miss it again.No matter if she was informed with reason, or moved with emotion, or even coerced, she could not be allowed to go.

Even if she hates me, Su Mu, again, it doesn't matter.

Isn't it just to seek peace of mind to be a human being?

Su Mu thought for a while, and immediately made this decision: that's it, bring her back to the capital, and let her be my concubine.Mrs. Wu is a gentle person, so she will be very happy to have such a sister in her family.As for Xiaodie, she certainly wouldn't object.

Thinking of this, seeing Mei Niang sleeping soundly, suddenly, Su Mu felt a sense of peace in his heart, and this feeling was really very comfortable.

Very good, very good.

A servant came in with water for washing feet, Su Mu waved at him, motioning him to keep his voice down.

Then, he burned his feet and went to bed.

The kang is hot and comfortable.

When Su Mu got into the bed, he conveniently put a corner of the quilt on Mei Niang who was leaning against the head of the bed.

Everything is natural, just like a couple who have lived together for many years.

There is no love between men and women, and the beauty is beside him without even a trace of love, Su Mu sleeps peacefully to death.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to Cangzhou, standing on the tower, looking at the river view outside.

And Mei Niang and Nannan were standing beside him, but Nannan was much younger, she was still a child, just like when I first saw her back then.As for Mei Niang, she was much thinner than now, and her face was even pale.

The wind picked up, the waves of the Grand Canal in front of us rolled, and clouds of fog rose from the surface of the river.

There is boundless silk rain falling continuously.

Mei Niang held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover her head.

Su Mu gently waved his hand.

The rain splashed on my face, very cold.

……

Suddenly, Su Mu opened his eyes and returned to the room in Yingzhou Daying.

The candlelight was still flickering, but Mei Niang was sitting next to him at some point, crying softly and depressingly, tears dripping down his face one by one.

Su Mu was still immersed in the dream, but he didn't think of anything else, he stretched out his hand and hugged gently: "It's not dawn yet, go to sleep!"

Mei Niang didn't resist, but her body stiffened obviously, and she cried louder.

Su Mu woke up suddenly.

He let go of Mei Niang and sat up: "Mei Niang...we met again...five years, five years."

"Woooo..." Mei Niang couldn't stop crying.

"Don't cry, don't cry, listen to me, in fact, things are not what you imagined."
