Chapter 357

Luocheng, the residence of Zong Zhengming.

There were no female family members living in the house before, so it happened to ask Mu Xiyao to pick a cheap one and move comfortably into the main house in the backyard. The mansion is very large, similar in size to Zong Zhenglin's other residences in Shengjing. The verandas, waterside pavilions, and lotus pond arch bridges are clearly smudged with the graceful and unique style of the south of the Yangtze River. If it weren't for going out this door and turning another street corner, you would see Hufu clothes shops and businessmen selling barbecue pancakes. Mu Xiyao would feel that this place is no different from that in Jinai, let alone Luo The city is already the only pass in the Great Wei Dynasty after Fengtuo Pass.

In the study room in the front yard, Zong Zhengming looked solemn, staring at the man who was drinking tea quietly across the way, he frowned unconsciously. "You should know that taking her away from the capital like this is tantamount to killing her." Zong Zhenglin sent more than ten letters to each other secretly, but Zong Zhenglin actually only talked about the use of soldiers, and didn't mention a word to Mu Xiyao, mother and son. Today he suddenly brought her to the door in disguise. At that time, he couldn't deny that he was angry and panicked.

"Where did Fifth Brother come from? My hall brought Mrs. Mu to the house, so I naturally believed you. Could it be that this hall has lost its mind?"

"You," seeing him calm and determined, Zong Zhengming leaned back in the chair, and suddenly chuckled after a long while. "That's right. Bring her and her son to the main hall, and you won't be afraid that one day she will understand your intentions and cause trouble when she goes back with you?" She was already smart, so why would she stay confused.

The two men plotting the same position were able to put aside their previous suspicions, and it was rare for them to put the overall situation first in the matter of Mobei and join forces with the outside world. How to entrust trust during this period? The intention of Zong Zhenglin to place the son of the woman on his cusp in his house is self-evident. To put it bluntly, this man actually made Mu Xiyao's mother and son hostages in order to eliminate the influence of each other's wariness.

Not only that, but the depth of his mind is really not simple. Borrowing her, mother and son, also bound his hands and feet, Zong Zhengming. The alliance has been formed and is imperative. At this time, how can he abolish the public for personal reasons and plan a great situation for the West Route Army, because he wants to fight him and wipe them out completely. If you can't expose it, you can only cover it up for him. In this way, he will be with him, and Zong Zhengming will also bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.

What's more... He knew that he had secrets in his heart, but just because the person who came to the door today was Mu Xiyao, he would be hesitant. Zong Zhenglin, because of that position, may not regard Mrs. Mu as highly as he has always shown.

"If she knows that you treat her like this, sixth brother, won't she be afraid that Mrs. Mu will be divorced from you?"

The man who was still at ease just now, his eyes darkened, and his eyelids were lowered in silence for a while. After a long time, Zong Zhenglin got up indifferently, and only said "Thank you", he had already stepped over the threshold, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Lose face? Zong Zhengming stroked his chin and raised his eyebrows with a smile. He thought that if he took it seriously, he would have no plans, but now it seems that there are still people who can make him unable to handle it.

With a desire to control as tyrannical as Zong Zhenglin, he didn't know what that man would look like when he was disobedient. Mrs. Mu... Caressing the paperweight on the desk with one hand, Zong Zhengming closed his eyes slightly, and gradually took a breath.

Today she was covered with a light veil, and Tingting was standing beside Zong Zhenglin. Even if he hadn't seen her face, he could recognize her pair of moving eyes. And she, out of unexpected calmness, without a trace of twitching, just called "Your Highness" softly.

If it was said that Zong Zhenglin was tricking him into acquiescing to this matter, then what kind of thoughts did she have in her mind to look at him so purely and peacefully?

Zong Zhenglin arrived in Yunzhou secretly, and he was busy with some important matters. Zong Zhengming is the head coach of the East Route Army and rarely stays in the mansion. Among the three armies, the East Road Army fought the most with Mobei, and they would fight each other head-on, and the battle was extremely tragic. Similarly, in exchange for the results are very gratifying. Compared with the other two armies, the Eastern Route Army has advanced to Mobei to lay down a second line of defense, which has repeatedly made the Mobei Army's situation urgent.

Unlike Zongzhenglin who captured Jita and sent troops to garrison it, Zongzhengming pointed his sword at Zezawa, but besieged him, and then the army continued to move out. In this way, Zeze cut off his supplies and was lingering on his last breath. He would surrender in less than a month.

In the absence of the serious master in the house, and her highness having no means to spare, Mu Xiyao lived an extremely comfortable life. Having experienced the style and features of Xicheng, there is no novelty about Luocheng. Trimming flowers and plants in the yard every day, getting close to the sons, and moving out of the rocking chair for a leisurely day, these days are more comfortable than in Shengjing. At least, there is no such thing as entering the palace to ask for peace, and those women who make her worry will no longer have to meet face to face.

Mu Xiyao is the first person who can fight with the emperor's concubine before entering the palace.

In the afternoon of this day, I asked someone to set up the bamboo couch, and only had a brocade quilt on her knees, and Mu Xiyao chose the waterside pavilion by the lotus pond to rest with her eyes closed. He was sleeping a little dazedly, but the sound of flute came leisurely from his ears, the tune was beautiful and the skill was good.

It's a pity that there are occasional interruptions in the soft and gentle voice in Shuixie, which makes her disliked. Then he flapped a round fan, staggered and took the man with him, across the wall, picked under the Vitex peach tree and rearranged himself to sleep lazily on his side. The body is warmed by the sun, and the wall is separated by silk and bamboo, and when I close my eyes, my face is full of satisfaction.

The end sound curled slowly, and the beauty of the misty mountains and clouds and rain only made her addicted. Some regretted that the syllables in the front of such a good tune were missed, so I could only disturb them aloud, to see if the master had the beauty of adulthood.

"If your highness is free, can you play this song again? It's such a wonderful sound, it's a pity that I only memorized half of it. You can be a studious person and ask you for advice with a shy face."

It really is her. Just now I heard rustling noises on the other side of the wall, but I didn't expect it to attract her. Zong Zhengming played a trick with the sapphire Xiao in his hand, and the figure who was about to leave turned around and sat down on the stone bench in the corner.

She even recognized him as "a shy-faced, studious person", so how could he win her over.

"It's hard to find a bosom friend, so it's not impossible."

When Zong Zhenglin returned to the mansion, he learned that she had gone to Lianchi, so he followed her to find her. He just didn't expect to see someone, but the scene in front of him made him stop abruptly.

Behind the rockery, under the jingtao tree, there is a little girl with disheveled black hair and a radiant face. The slender eyelashes trembled from time to time, and the calves were curled. Overlooking the past, the figure lying on the side has exquisite curves, and the undulating waist is especially eye-catching. She was wearing a bright yellow gauze skirt that stretched to the floor, and the hem of the skirt fell to the ground, just embracing the colorful cherry blossoms above her head.

Although her eyes were closed, her slightly pursed mouth made Zong Zhenglin understand that she must be extremely comfortable at this moment.

Perhaps seeing her fascinated by Zong Zhengming's song, His Highness the Sixth Highness stopped with folded arms, it was rare for her not to step forward to arrest someone. But it was covered by a rockery, standing on the spot with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on her face, his eyes were dark and dark.

"Since the last farewell, His Highness's attainment has improved again. After the song is finished, I am both envious and jealous." The female voice was laughing, and the words were playful, which made Zong Zhengming also relax.

"Long time no see, how is the side concubine? I have been busy with military affairs recently, and I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, so don't blame me."

"No wonder, no wonder, Your Highness treats my concubine with delicious food and drinks. If I complain again, it will appear that I don't know what is good or bad. This concubine is easy to raise and lives comfortably, so it can be bad anywhere."

After listening to the tune, he simply sat up. Putting your hands behind your back, looking up at the flour powder tender and tender, a tree of violets blooming. The afternoon sun was supposed to be venomous, but it was immediately softened by the shade of flowers and trees and the light shining through the gaps. Stretching her legs and feet, the light purple embroidered shoes swayed slightly, and smelling the fragrance at the tip of her nose, she felt that she was having a good time.

Seeing her posture, Zong Zhenglin beside the rockery stared at her even darker. This woman doesn't know how to restrain herself outside. With her arms propped up like this, her chest is plump and bright and seductive. If he wasn't the only one here, and Zong Zhengming was outside the partition wall, he would definitely not be able to spare her when he went back.

Listening to her words, the joy inside is obvious. Zong Zhengming on the other end pondered for a while, and finally held Qingyu Xiao, seeming to start a conversation at will, and tease her in his spare time.

"If you live a good life, your courage will grow accordingly. If you come here with the sixth younger brother, you won't be afraid of being exposed by the palace?"

The sudden brightness in the eyes is due to your willingness.

"I was surprised to hear it at first, but when I actually arrived at His Highness's house, I felt more at ease. After thinking about it so carefully, His Highness should be a person with a clear personality, so it's not a good idea to take the concubine's pre-war sacrificial flag at this time. Besides, the man's family If it's troublesome to find a woman, His Highness shouldn't be so self-deprecating."

The powerful relationship can be seen clearly, and flattery and flattery are also real. When she said it openly without any hesitation, Zong Zhengming felt that the vague grievance in his heart had dissipated.

Now that she said that, could it be that... the hand holding Yuxiao tightened.

Also clasped with ten fingers, there was Zong Zhenglin behind his back, hiding his kung fu for a while. At this moment, from the bottom of his heart, if he said that there would be no waves, he would be deceiving himself.

She should know. Zong Zhengming propped one hand on his knees, speaking softly and mellowly. "I just know I can't hide it from you." He sighed softly, after all, he didn't want her good temperament to be tarnished from now on. "Don't think too much about it. He didn't intend to take you out of Beijing at first."

Unexpectedly, Zong Zhengming never took this opportunity to provoke them. Zong Zhenglin raised his eyebrows, but his expression was not good.

Zong Zhengming did this, not for him. Looking at Mu Xiyao again, the movement of flicking the finger suddenly increased by two points.

How will she react? Is it grievance, or resentment? According to her temper, knowing that she is being used by him should not be followed. I was thinking of comforting her later, but I never thought that today I would borrow Zong Zhengming's mouth, so it would be good if I could get to the bottom of it earlier.

Leaning over to pick up the petals on the skirt, Mu Xiyao's fingernails lightly ran across it. A thin trace runs through it, which shows how delicate this flower is.

"Your Highness thinks the concubine will be sad?" It seemed to be slightly mocking. Just when the two men who were also worried about this thought she was barely supporting her face, the woman unexpectedly spoke lightly.

"Don't be afraid of Your Highness's jokes. When I was in the boudoir, I thought about it. If in the future, husbands and concubines are in groups, such as concubines who don't like to be troubled and only want to be comfortable, I'm afraid it will be useless to compete for favor.*** * Fighting with others, I feel tired and panic. But I don’t want to part with my good life, and I feel unhappy when my husband gives someone else to call me a concubine. So I thought about it, and finally came up with an idea.”

There was aftertaste in her eyes. At that time, she knew the identity of the man she was going to marry in this life.

"If the love is not enough, I will be a useful person and make up for it a little bit." She stretched out her hand to pull on the brocade quilt, and sat on the couch with her knees hugged. "Your Highness can use a concubine, and I think it's worth it."

Not to mention that Zong Zhenglin just came to Xicheng to make plans according to the situation, and need to borrow her as a temporary pawn in the matter of joining forces with Zong Zhengming. Even if that man plotted against her from beginning to end, she would not feel resentful because of it.

After all, between her and him, in terms of sincerity, Zong Zhenglin couldn't compare to the one who started with her dishonesty.

He never harbored any evil intentions, and he didn't hurt her at all, but she thought she still had this kind of mind to borrow her identity.

Mu Xiyao didn't know that the simple word "worth it" called a person in both light and dark, how shocked her heart was.
