In the first year of Jianwen, the Li family, a relative of the Chen Dynasty in Annan, usurped the throne and changed the country's name to Dayu. After Emperor Yongkang ascended the throne, the Li family went to the Wei Dynasty to request the title of King of Annan, and was approved.
In the second year of Yongkang, Chen Tianping, who was known as a descendant of the Annan Chen Dynasty, fled to the Wei Dynasty via Laos and asked for asylum. Li family learned about it and sent a minister to take him back to the country. Emperor Yongkang sent 5,000 guards and ordered Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, to escort Chen Tianping
The balance returns to Annan.
Unexpectedly, the five thousand guards were ambushed by the Li family on the way, and Chen Tianping and Xue Yan were both killed.
Emperor Yongkang was furious and ordered Zhang Fu to lead an army of 800,000 to attack Annan. He won a great victory.
In the fifth year of Yongkang, Annan had been independent for more than 400 years since the Tang Dynasty, and was returned to the territory of the Wei Dynasty. It was calculated that there were 48 prefectures, 180 counties, and 3.12 million households.
Unexpectedly, Jian Ding, an old minister of the Chen family, rebelled last year. Emperor Yongkang ordered Mu Sheng, the Marquis of Xiping, to go and conquer the rebellion. As a result, Mu Sheng was defeated at Shengjuejiang.
In the ninth year of Yongkang, as soon as the Yamen opened the seal and military orders came, the emperor again ordered Zhang Fu to lead troops to put down the rebellion. Mu Yan asked for an order to go to war and was approved.
Military orders are like a mountain, and orders are followed like a stream. In Mu's mansion, Mu Yan is packing up things for the army.
Mrs. Cheng was very worried. She only had such a son, and her son even requested an order to go to war with the army. Mrs. Cheng didn't sleep for several nights after learning about her son's decision. She sat in the room and wiped her tears.
Aunt Liu looked anxious: "Madam, the young master is leaving soon. Don't make your eyes swollen from crying and make the young master feel uneasy when he leaves. It's better to send these medicines to the young master."
Mrs. Cheng came to her senses and pressed the handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, "Okay, I'll send it to Yan'er."
Why did the child want to go to the battlefield? Why did he ask for the war without telling her? The marriage has not been settled yet, and there is no heir. Mrs. Cheng felt heartbroken when she thought about it.
Mu Yan had already packed his things, and was traveling lightly. There was no need to carry other things that would be cumbersome. When he turned around, he saw his aunt coming, and he hurriedly went to greet her.
When Mrs. Cheng saw him, she wanted to wipe away her tears again, her face was sad, and she held his hand and wouldn't let go.
"You, how could you ask for a fight without telling me..."
Mu Yan allowed her to hold his hand, and when he saw her weeping in front of him, he sighed: "The Marquis of Xiping was defeated, and the emperor was furious. If I don't ask for a fight, our Yunnan Mu Mansion may lose its prestige in the emperor's heart."
It took my grandfather decades to bring peace to Yunnan. After only two generations, my grandfather's hard work is about to be wasted.
He had to go.
"But it shouldn't be you. Didn't Mu Sheng want to grant Mu Zhan the title of crown prince? Let him compete for military honors." Even if her son competed for military honors, Mu Sheng would not grant him the title.
Her poor son.
"You, don't cry. My grandfather told me to guard Yunnan, and I dare not forget it. This is my mission."
After persuading her for a while, Mrs. Cheng regained her composure and opened the large box she had brought. "Here are some medicines for injuries. You should take them with you just in case. There are also some clothes, shoes and socks for washing."
All things are useful..."
Mu Yan looked at this big box and his head was very big. How could he march with such a big box?
Seeing Mrs. Cheng's eyes dripping with tears, she couldn't bear to hurt her heart, so she just planned to pick up some and take them with her after she left. After comforting her for a long time, she was persuaded to leave.
After Cheng left, Mu Yan told Li Yikaner to pack his things. He took the box containing the hosta and hesitated for a long time. It was not until that night that he left the house.
The first month had passed and Gong Ziyi had not returned from sending a message. Huo Xi thought that she was still young and there was nothing to worry about the marriage, so she went out to play with the gadgets he had given her. After looking for a long time, a box was missing.
I searched the house for a long time, but couldn't find it. Vanilla and Xia He are so good at hiding things? I wanted to ask her two, but then I thought it was so late at night, so I forgot about it and asked tomorrow.
Then he remembered that he also had a jade pendant that he had given to him when he was sworn in early years, so he found it.
Three jade pendants were placed on the table, one for Gong Ziyi, one for himself, and one for Mu Yan.
The three jade pendants are all exquisite in workmanship, but their shapes are different.
Gong Ziyi's is a square piece of sapphire Pisces pendant. It is shaped like an ancient servant and is very heavy in his hand. Mu Yan's is a round piece of white jade, crystal clear, with a pair of birds engraved on the left and right.
It doesn't look like a phoenix. Huo Xi has been looking at it for so many years and has never seen what kind of bird it is. He only feels that it is cold to the touch, refreshing and comfortable.
Then she picked up her jade pendant and took a closer look. It was a round piece of jade pendant. The person specially asked a craftsman to carve the five blessings and longevity pendant for her, and her name was also on it.
Huo Xi rubbed it for a long time, and everything in the past seemed like just yesterday...
Mu Yan looked at her from far away and saw her sitting alone in front of the window, holding a jade pendant in her hand, with an expression that was both nostalgic and sad. Suddenly, he felt a feeling of heartache, which was quickly suppressed, and his eyes flashed.
flash.
Huo Xi was about to put away the jade pendant, but suddenly her hand was empty.
I was so startled that I raised my eyes and saw the stingy young man standing in front of the window like a green pine tree. When did this man appear? He looks like a ghost and scares people when he comes out in the middle of the night.
Huo Xi patted her chest with her hand and glared at him: "Can you not be so quiet in the middle of the night? It's scary, you will scare people to death!" Any hobby.
Seeing her in her middle coat glaring at him with a hint of dissatisfaction and tenderness, Mu Yan's heartstrings moved and he quickly looked away.
"It's cold, don't freeze."
Seeing the other party turning sideways without looking at herself, Huo Xi took a look at herself. She was wearing a snow-white middle coat. Well, in the eyes of outsiders, this is an obscene garment, right? She didn't dare to look at it. Is she exposed? Isn't this very sexy?
Normal clothes?
He curled his lips and went into the inner room to put on his outer clothes.
When I came out, I saw that he was still leaning sideways, standing upright with his hands behind his back. When she came out, he didn't move his body either.
Suddenly he burst into laughter.
If you really want to do something inappropriate, young master, don’t go into a woman’s boudoir in the middle of the night. Tsk tsk.
Thinking of the jade pendant he had taken away, she reached out to him: "My jade pendant."
Mu Yan turned around to look at her and saw that she had put on her coat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She put her hands behind her back and looked at the table. There were two jade pendants on the table. One was given to her by herself when she was saved from an ambush in Songjiang at night. The other one looked like it belonged to a man, and her eyes flashed.
Reaching out towards the table...
Huo Xi noticed his intention and held him down suddenly: "What are you doing? Not only taking my jade pendant, but you also want to take the one given to me by someone else?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows lightly and took out the jade pendant from his arms: "Is this yours?"
"Is it possible that it still belongs to you? When I was one year old, his family asked someone to carve it for me. Please return it to me quickly." This jade pendant means a lot to me and cannot be given away.
Mu Yan felt happy in his heart, wishing it was hers. He put the jade pendant back into his arms.
"Hey, you're a man who clearly robbed me!" He tried to grab it, but Mu Yan dodged it and missed it.
Mu Yan raised his chin on the table, "You take what's mine, I'll take what's yours, it's fair."
