Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 172
Regarding Yu Moying's words, Murong Feng didn't know whether he could agree or not.But the shopkeeper had a slight surprise on his face. He had no doubts about the fact that they were merchants who came from afar, but this girl didn't look too young. Does she have such good skills?

Yu Moying continued to casually look at the other fans, until there was a sound of a horse neighing at the door, and she cheered up instantly.

"Mr. Song, why are you here later than usual?" The shopkeeper put on a smile again, and glanced at Song Chutian who was strolling from the door with friendly eyes.

From what he said, Song Chutian was a frequent visitor.Yu Moying didn't turn her head away for a long time, her body became very stiff for a moment.

There has been a lifetime between them, what capacity should she go to see him now.Is it Yu Shi's daughter, or Xiao Ye's righteous sister, Princess Xiaomin of Huaxi Kingdom?

No matter which identity it is, it must be that Song Chutian hates it deeply.His grievances against the royal family of Huaxi Kingdom and Yu Shi are no less than hers.

Maybe knowing that he can live in peace is the greatest satisfaction.Yu Moying thought, Master Lin brought the news to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye would not let Song Chutian off so easily, even if it was as far away as Xiye Kingdom, Xiao Ye would find a way to eradicate it.

She had to think about how to let Song Chutian continue to live a stable life.

"My wife's body is a little uncomfortable. I took her to see a doctor first." At this time, Song Chutian had already walked to the counter and began to pick and choose from various makeup powders.

When he approached, Murong Feng gave her a hand, and Yu Moying realized that she might be blocking his way, so she hurriedly picked up the glazed round box and moved it aside.

"Then Mr. Song, take your time." The shopkeeper thought that if Yu Moying could really make plum cream, that would be great.But seeing that she didn't mention a word at the moment, he couldn't help guessing that she might have changed her mind.

"Girl, just now you said that you can make plum cream, do you still count?"

Yu Moying was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head and said, "Do the math. Take me to the yard behind you to see if there are any ingredients I need."

The shopkeeper immediately and courteously opened the coarse cloth curtain behind the cabinet, and invited the three of them in.

Until the curtain was lowered again, Yu Moying could still feel the light shining towards her from behind, but she couldn't turn her head to recognize her brother.Her mind was a little sluggish, and her footsteps stopped behind the curtain.

However, in the next moment, her mind became even more sluggish.

"General Song, I haven't seen you for many years. May I have the honor to have a brief talk with you today." A clear and powerful voice penetrated through the curtain and entered her ears without even falling to the ground.

The memory she had tried so hard to bury, deep inside, was reawakened.Yu Moying's eyes were gradually covered with mist.

He Lianyu... As soon as she thought of this name, she could feel a gap in her heart being enlarged.She thought she could not care, but today, this feeling has been further magnified.

With a "bang", the colored glaze round box in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into several large petals, and the paste inside was also scattered on the ground in lumps.

"My last box of plum cream!" The shopkeeper immediately came in distressed, holding up the crumbs on the ground and sighing.

Behind, another footstep is gradually approaching.Yu Moying's heart was beating nervously, she was very familiar with that cold breath like the first snow.

However, she didn't want to see him.In desperation, she had no choice but to hide in the corner and hide again.When Murong Feng saw her performance, a sharpness that could not be easily noticed flashed in Murong Feng's eyes.

He Lianyu walked around to the counter, saw the shopkeeper who came out holding powdered powder, and then turned his gaze to the coarse cloth curtain that was put down.There was no more sound inside.

When he entered, he felt a very familiar figure entered. Could it be an illusion?Or are there real acquaintances in there?

And just when he wanted to go in to find out, Song Chutian called him, "I have been hiding for so many years, but you still found me. Since His Highness came from afar, Song should treat him with courtesy. It is not appropriate to talk here, please Your Highness, let’s discuss in another place.”

"Okay." He Lianyu paused for a moment, and immediately put away the doubts in his heart, turned around and went out with Song Chutian, riding a horse and leaving the powder shop.

After they left, Yu Moying, who was hiding behind the curtain, also quickly came out, took Hongxing with her, got into their carriage at the door, followed the two of them, and hurried away.

The shopkeeper ran out in a panic and shouted at the door: "Girl, you said you were going to make it in the backyard, but you broke my plum cream and didn't give me any money. What do you mean? We are all in the same business, so be kind!"

Murong Feng, who was left behind, stuffed an ingot of gold in the past without making a sound, blocking the shopkeeper's next words.

Looking at the receding figures in front of him, Murong Feng silently shook his head.

In a noisy market square in Ulan City, many people of different races were discussing alchemy in the language of Xiye Kingdom, and there were also strangely dressed people dancing around the bonfire, chanting words, as if they were praying.

Yu Moying followed He Lianyu and Song Chutian, drove the carriage through the market, walked out of this oasis, and arrived at the desolate suburbs, facing a rolling sand hill with a clear spring shaped like a crescent moon inside. .

It is said that this magical sand mountain will make some pleasant sounds when the wind blows. As long as people listen carefully with their ears, they will feel that the sand is singing.

There are few people in this place, and she was not sure whether driving the carriage would attract the attention of the two of them, so she parked the carriage on the official road first, walked beside a caravan of camels, and followed the Hu merchant who was pulling the camels, hiding herself.

In the small village under the sand mountain, there are rows of tile houses, and Song Chutian's home is one of them.

He Lianyu and Song Chutian tied the horse to the fence and entered the courtyard together.

Yu Moying had been walking cautiously behind and knocked on the door of the neighbor's house. She and Hongxing sat down in the courtyard next door on the pretext of begging for a drink of saliva.

The two yards are only separated by a wooden fence covered with vines.This position happened to be able to hear the conversation between the two of them without being discovered.

"Husband, you are back." Seeing Song Chutian's return, his wife who had been waiting at the door for a long time couldn't help but beam with joy.

However, when she saw He Lianyu next to Song Chutian, her eyes could not help but freeze, and the shallow smile in the corner of her eyes disappeared, replaced by a trace of fear.

When He Lianyu saw her, he also had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

After a while, he felt that the expressions of the two of them had caused Song Chutian a lot of doubts, so he praised: "General Song is really lucky. There are not many beauties like Mrs. Song in the palace."

After Mrs. Song heard this, she quickly showed a friendly smile, and she replied, "Hey, look at me, after staying in the village for a long time, I don't see much of the world anymore. We rarely have guests at our house. Today I saw such a A young man who is like a heavenly man is so out of control."

"I'm going to prepare some tea and fruit snacks for you."

What they said afterwards temporarily dispelled Song Chutian's doubts. He was always informal, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

Not long after, Song Chutian sat down, brought Mrs. Song over, and pushed a rough porcelain bowl in front of He Lianyu, which contained tea from the Central Plains.

"Your Highness, you don't need to call me General Song anymore. Song is just a grassroots person now."

Song Chutian turned his eyes to the grass beside him, but in his simple words, he shouted the vicissitudes of Qian Fan.

"You and Madam Zun intend to live in seclusion in Xiye Kingdom forever, don't you want to go back to your homeland?" He Lianyu shook the tea bowl in his hand and drank it down.

This tea is made from rough tea leaves, and the tea water is a little muddy, but the careful Mrs. Song sprinkled a little sweet-scented osmanthus powder into it, which greatly improved the taste of the whole bowl of tea, and did not make it inferior to high-grade tea.

Does he still have a homeland?A sneer emerged from the corner of Song Chutian's mouth, and his heart felt burning pain.Thinking back to the day when he led his troops to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, but was forcibly recalled to Chengdu by a Xiao Ye, and was thrown into prison for collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, he felt absurd.

None of his former relatives are alive, and his family in Huaxi Country has long since disappeared.Later, when he moved to Beiming Kingdom, he was reused by Huai King He Lianchen again, and he became a general again. Unfortunately, he saw various balance constraints in He Lianchen.

The hearts of these heirs to the highest position are all blinded by the throne, and he sees a haze.Dispirited, he left Beiming Kingdom and came to Xiye Kingdom to settle down.

"This is our plan for the time being. In Xiye Kingdom, no one will care about our identities. As long as we can be accommodated here, we can live here." After pondering for a moment, Song Chutian replied: "Your Highness, come and look for me. , nothing more than hoping that I will return to the battlefield.”

"However, if a person has lost everything that is the best, he will cherish the hard-won happiness even more. From now on, I just want to live an ordinary life with her, and we will never leave her. I hope His Highness will stop persuading her. "

"Most of the people in the world have the mentality of our husband and wife. If Your Highness really has the heart, Song will ask you to find a way to keep the wells of the two countries from interfering with the rivers, so that the people of Li can live their lives in peace without war."

"Wrong!" Hearing this, He Lianyu placed the tea bowl heavily on the table, and the tea foam splashed out of the bowl.

"You just want to be a commoner, but today's world is not a peaceful and prosperous world. What you get is only a moment of peace."

"It's true that the Xiye Kingdom can accommodate you, but Xiao Ye has been coveting this piece of fat for a long time. It's only because of the distance and the restraint of the Beiming Kingdom that he has not sent troops to Xiye for a long time. But in recent days, He has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to Huaxi Kingdom's northwest border."

"He is ready to move, and it will be a matter of time before the war starts. Once the war starts, both you and your wife will inevitably be displaced."

"Song believes that with His Highness's ability, it is not difficult to stop a war." Some of the tea spilled on Song Chutian's fingertips, but he didn't wipe it off. "Song is also a person who has commanded thousands of troops. War is used more as a tool of expansion for rulers."

"At the cost of the lives of ordinary people, such a cruel and bloody tool is not worth it. Your Highness, please focus on how to truce."
