Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 146

I don't know what the other party's intentions are, but my intuition is that I don't like it. I can see that the visitor is not kind, and there must be some conspiracy in it.

Xu Mu became alert all of a sudden, reined in his horse, stopped, stood on the street, raised his head, and looked at the man by the window from a distance, looking on guard, for fear that he would suddenly make some tricks at the window. The emperor was alarmed, and the scene must have been chaotic, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the little princess was also in the team.

It wasn't until the team had passed that the person on the window sill did not make a move, so Xu Mu rode forward, warning that person not to be outdone, if he really dared to make a move, he would not let him go this time.

Xu Mu moved from the end of the line to the middle of the line, supervised the surrounding guards from time to time, and performed his duties seriously.That well-fitting outfit, riding on a tall horse, has a serious face like a god, without any softness, making it impossible for people to get close, and also arousing fear in his heart.

On the battlefield, one cannot lose arrogance. Xu Mu's coercion was achieved only after experiencing so much blood and tears on the battlefield.

When he was about to leave the city gate, Xu Mu saw a very familiar man in the crowd - Tie Bo.

He was on duty in the palace, so he couldn't come back casually. Uncle Tie was waiting for him here, maybe there was something important. Xu Mu explained to Deng Zhixiang, and asked him to watch the team leave first, and he would arrive later.

"Uncle Tie, is there something wrong?"

After getting off the horse, Xu Mu pulled Tie Bo aside.

Uncle Tie just asked, "Amu, some people said a few days ago that the general's mansion has been built, and the scale is very large. The keys have been handed over to me. They also asked when they will move in. You are protecting that golden branch and jade leaf in the palace. How long are you going to work? You are a general, and you are going to go to the battlefield, so you can’t use your talents for nothing, a general has always been doing the job of a guard, right?”

Xu Mu was silent for a while, and he knew that Uncle Tie was wronged for him, but when he thought of leaving the palace and living in the general's mansion, he felt a sense of reluctance. The princess was getting farther and farther away. If he lived in the general's mansion, it would be very difficult to enter the palace. To see the golden branches and jade leaves in the harem, as a foreign minister, it must be even more difficult.

He didn't want to leave the palace in his heart, even if he was just doing the hard work that a guard should do, he didn't complain at all, instead, he rejoiced in his heart countless times for the emperor's imperial decree.

It's just that these words cannot be said to Uncle Tie, so he comforted Uncle Tie, "Don't worry, Uncle Tie, it's only temporary, maybe when there is no danger of safety, the emperor will naturally let me out, and when the time comes Are you afraid that you don’t have time to live in the General’s Mansion? By the way, Uncle Tie, you can take the key with you, and you can also live in the General’s Mansion at any time, just wait for me.”

Uncle Tie also thought it made sense, so he nodded, "Okay, then I'll get everything ready and wait for you, Amu, to come back. By then, I will be the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and I will also be a person of status."

"Of course." Xu Mu took out some banknotes from his pocket, which he had accumulated in the palace during this period. Now that I have met Uncle Tie, I don't need him to come out in person, just hand it over to him.

After seeing Uncle Tie off, Xu Mu got on the horse again and chased after him with a whip. The horse ran fast, but he didn't feel so happy, and even felt a little melancholy. He didn't know when this short period of love would end. The days of living in the temple are over!
They set off at Chenshi and boarded the Huguo Temple at Weishi. At this time, the sun had already tilted to the west.

Sacrifice ceremonies are generally best carried out at dusk and morning. At this time of the year, it is dusk to worship gods and Buddhas, and the next morning to worship heaven and earth. You need to stay overnight in Huguo Temple.

For the emperor's annual sacrificial ceremony at the Huguo Temple, the host of the Huguo Temple began to prepare for a month before.

As soon as they arrived at Huguo Temple, all the monks had already dispatched to greet them. They were all in yellow robes and bald heads.

Gu Qingxin and the others were led by the monks to rest in the prepared meditation room. Within a short while, all the vegetarian dishes were served, and the service was not inconsiderate.

At dusk, all the people who come will go to offer sacrifices. The altar is set up in the main hall of the temple, and the respected old monks personally preside over the sacrifices.

Holding the three sticks of incense that the old abbot himself lit, the emperor paid homage to the Buddha statue on the main hall.

"I hope that the Buddha will bless my Platinum Kingdom with good weather and good weather in the coming year, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment..."

After the emperor, there is the empress, and then the prince and princess, and the concubines are all behind.

What the queen said was nothing more than auspicious words, and she was dressed dignifiedly and had a very pious face, which made people feel very comfortable.

Gu Qingguo and Gu Qingguo couldn't wait to make a wish in front of the Buddha, blinking their eyelashes, chanting silently, and they didn't know what they were praying for.

But Gu Qingxin also guessed a lot, the princesses don't need to inherit the throne, they just need to keep the glory and wealth. They are one year older than her, so now they are nothing more than praying for marriage.

It is said that the empress and concubine De have been planning to choose son-in-law for the two princesses years ago, but it seems that these two people have high vision, so they didn't make it clear?

You two imperial sisters, don't worry, your marriage will have a clue in this year, and it was about this time in the previous life, I am waiting for you!
Gu Qingxin knelt on the futon and didn't make any wishes.

If the gods and Buddhas were useful, she would not have had that ending in her previous life. She just didn't believe in the heavens, the earth, or the nine heavens and the gods and Buddhas, but only believed in herself.

The only one who can help her achieve her wish is herself, and has always been only herself!

The night was deep and still, but Gu Qingxin was awakened by the sound of fighting outside the house.

The voice was not very loud. Xiangsi and the others were too busy during the day, but they were not awakened. Gu Qingxin put on a big cloak, put on fur boots, and pushed open the door of the confinement meditation room. Trembling. Trembling.

With a "creak", the door was gently closed again, leaving only a slight sound of footsteps.

Following the sound, the sound of fighting came from the bamboo forest not far away. Gu Qingxin walked slowly on the soft ground. On the bamboo forest, two figures were fighting inseparably.

The two were fighting, a masked man in black was not as fast as the other, trying to get rid of the man's entanglement, jumped up all at once, and flew to the two bamboos that were very close to each other, as if Seeing someone coming at the entrance, his eyes lit up, and he whistled brazenly, "Hey, someone is coming, is it the little princess of Platinum Kingdom?"

It was Xu Mu who was fighting with him. When he heard this, he looked back, and sure enough, the little princess came to him at some point, her brows frowned. It was dangerous here. He had already led people so far away. Found.

At this time, he couldn't remind her, otherwise, the other party would catch her. Xu Mu now had only one thought in his mind, absolutely not to hurt the princess, so hurry up and lure the man in black to other places.

Originally, he planned to stay alive for torture, but now he couldn't care about anything else, Xu Muti jumped up, the sword in his hand was accurate and fast, and resigned towards the man in black. The man in black tumbled down, almost Dodging narrowly, Xu Mu immediately raised his sword to pursue the victory, and the two continued to fight together.

Gradually, the manpower in black couldn't do what he wanted, but Xu Mu still pressed on every step of the way. His martial arts were indeed invincible. No way, if he didn't leave, his life would really be lost!

The man in black rolled his eyes and made a gesture to stab Gu Qingxin in the direction. Xu Mu really tried his best to stop him and rushed over with all his heart. At this moment, the man in black suddenly turned his head and turned in the opposite direction. fly away.

It turned out that it was a deliberate cover-up just now, and flew far away in a few moments, turned around and smiled wildly at Xu Mu, "I finally know your weakness! Haha!"

Hearing that the hilt of the sword in Xu Mu's hand trembled a little, and he didn't even dare to look back at Her Highness the princess' expression.

After falling back several times, the man in black had disappeared, disappearing into the black night.

"General Xu, don't chase after the poor." Gu Qingxin spoke from behind, with thoughtful eyes, her ears were always very useful, just now she just heard a word from the man in black, and she already remembered who he was.

Even the people behind the envoy of the Xishu Kingdom already knew their identity, so it would be pointless to chase after him.

"His Royal Highness." Xu Mu was stopped, his body froze, he turned his head slowly, and stepped forward with his fists clenched, "Are you alright?"

Concern overflowed from the eyes, it was very obvious, and it warmed people's hearts.

"I'm fine, maybe I was a little tired during the day and didn't sleep well at night, so I saw this scene."

"The last general neglected his duty and let the man in black escape. He also disturbed Her Royal Highness, the last one deserves to die." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Gu Qingxin stepped forward, supported his arm with both hands through the clothes, and said with a smile, "There's no need to be polite, it's been so long, why is the general still so restrained? This princess should have said that in my heart, the general is indeed He is a hero. I have always seen the contributions made by the subjects of the Platinum Kingdom. From now on, I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of protecting the territory of the Platinum Kingdom. Anyway, we have lived under the same roof for almost a month, General You don't need to put the gift of a monarch and minister on your lips, just treat Qingxin as an ordinary friend."
