Jiankang, Palace City, in front of Liangyi Hall.
Liu Yu was silent for a while. In his arms, Murong Lan's sobs gradually subsided. She straightened up from Liu Yu's arms, stroked her messy forehead hair, and said in as calm a voice as possible:
"Brother Wolf, I'm sorry. I really can't accompany you anymore at this time. My eldest brother is newly deceased, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is watching. At this time, I can't abandon my people. I must go back to defend my people. This is me, Murong
Lan, as a descendant of the Murong family, it is something that must be done."
Liu Yu sighed: "You shouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to Dajin this time. If you were in the army, you might not show up to participate in the defeat of Hebei, and your eldest brother wouldn't..."
Murong Lan shook his head: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more. I came to Jin country to be with you, to save you from the prison, to wash away your sins. Originally, I planned to die to exonerate you.
However, thank God, you got rid of the crime yourself, exposed the mafia, and gained the emperor's trust. I originally wanted to accompany you to complete the earth-breaking incident, and then make plans for the next step, but now,
Because of this, I have to leave early."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Brother Xing misses you so much. He has been crying to see his mother. Now that you are gone, I don't know when I can see brother Xing again. Do you want to..."
Murong Lan gritted her teeth and turned around: "No, I can't see her, because I'm afraid that once I see my daughter, I won't want to leave anymore. Brother Wolf, go back to the north to save my home country.
It is a responsibility that I must bear, just like when I begged you to stay with me forever on the grassland, you also refused and must return to your hometown. This is the same reason, and you should be able to understand me!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Of course I understand, Alan, you can go with peace of mind. If I'm busy with big things here, I can also help you!"
Liu Muzhi's face changed: "Send slaves, be careful. Going to the enemy's country is a serious crime. You have finally cleared yourself of the crime, but don't fall into the pit of fire again!"
Liu Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "These are not my private matters. Although the Yan State is our strong enemy, it seems that a stronger, more terrifying, and more brutal and cruel enemy has emerged in their north.
, I am very clear about Tuoba Gui's ability. Under his hands, the grassland was truly unified for the first time in a century. He also broke the contract and broke the promise to attack the Central Plains. If he really took advantage of the opportunity of Hou Yan's new death to invade the Central Plains, it would definitely be
All the hells of the people in the north, whether as a general of the Jin Dynasty or as a Han compatriot, I cannot turn a blind eye. Even if it is for reconnaissance and layout, it should be done. Of course, these things will have to wait until I successfully help the emperor complete the execution of the land.
Stop it and start again."
Murong Lan turned around and looked at Liu Yu, a complicated look flashed in her eyes: "Brother Lang, I know that the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains has been your dream, and removing the ties that those aristocratic families have on you is the prerequisite for the Northern Expedition.
But I must remind you again, just like when you fight a war, you must consider defeat before you win, and you must not place all your hopes on the emperor. He is not so reliable and is also very fragile."
Liu Yu said seriously: "I understand what you mean, but I have already made up my mind on this matter. It will be difficult to turn back. Believe me, Alan, I should be able to solve the matter here soon. I will go to Yecheng to find you!"
Murong Lan turned around and strode out of the palace: "Then I wish you all the best and all your wishes come true. Brother Lang, I will pray and bless you!"
Her figure soon disappeared outside the palace wall with several ups and downs. Liu Yu looked in the north direction and gradually became trance-like.
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said, "Jinnu, since Murong Lan has been away these days, there is no one to take charge of the security of the guards. After all, it is impossible for me to arrange the defense of the palace, especially the dormitory. These have always been
Murong Lan and Miao Yin jointly arranged it, and with these major events happening in the north, the battle report will soon reach the emperor's ears. Perhaps, he will return to his old ways and indulge himself with wine and sex again. You'd better find a way to stay out of it these days.
, just wait and see how things change.”
Liu Yu's expression changed and he looked at Liu Muzhi: "What do you mean, you want me to give up my protection of the emperor?! No, absolutely not. If something happens to him at this time, then all my efforts will be wasted!"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "There is no need for you to carry the emperor's security on your own. Murong Lan is here to protect you from hidden arrows and assassinations. But now that she is gone, how can you protect yourself?"
Zhi Miaoyin's voice sounded from the top of the steps: "Isn't there still me? You don't have to worry too much."
Their expressions changed, and they looked at the hall door at the same time. They saw a Miaoyin monk wearing a hat and a whisk in his hand, like a lotus that was not stained by any dust, walking down the steps of the hall. Behind her, two people
The door closed gently, and Liu Yu frowned: "Is the emperor still in the palace now? Why aren't you with him?"
Zhi Miaoyin said coldly: "Brother Yu, you don't want to see me so much, do you really want to drive me to the emperor?"
Liu Yu realized that Yi Ren was a little angry and said quickly: "No, that's not what I meant. I meant that the emperor's current safety needs..."
Zhi Miaoyin said calmly: "Don't forget that I have many secret guards. Even if I am not here, they can protect the emperor. And, to be honest, when you were here just now talking about the war in the north, our emperor
In your eyes and ears, your majesty can only hear Zhang Guiren's celestial music and dancing shadows. At this moment, he has drunk a whole jar of Yanghe wine and is unconscious."
Liu Yu frowned: "Huan Zai, didn't I promise that I would never drink alcohol? He also promised me that he would stop drinking and stay away from women!"
Zhi Miaoyin said coldly: "You are not the emperor, he is. How could an emperor be so obedient to a minister? Zhang Guiren kept seducing his soul there, and he was willing to control him by drinking wine and getting drunk.
It’s not easy for me anymore. Moreover, Murong Chui’s death means our family will have to make some plans for such a big event.”
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean? Is it the mafia..."
Zhi Miaoyin immediately said: "Yes, this opportunity is rare. If chaos breaks out in the north, it will be our opportunity to go north. At this time, our Xie family must obtain the support of the mafia, seize the military power of Beifu from Wang Gong's hands, and then march north.
Brother Yu, rather than guarding this drunken emperor here, you should return to the Beifu Army at this time and realize your dream of the Northern Expedition!"
