Bai Moyue knelt on the ground, never daring to raise her head to touch Wen Zimo's eyes. Wen Zimo sat on the chair and looked at her with burning eyes. After asking a few questions but not getting a response, Wen Zimo slowly closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes and said softly: "Think it over carefully when you go back. Come to me again when you've thought about it."
As soon as Bai Moyue heard that she could leave, she quickly stood up and turned around to leave without even thinking about it. When she was far away from where Wen Zimo lived, Bai Moyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around with trepidation and looked at her with a complicated expression.
He looked at where Wen Zimo was for a while and muttered to himself: "I'm not mentally healthy..."
Bai Moyue returned to her residence and looked at Xi Honglei and Bai Hanyi's inquiring eyes. Regardless of her image, she sat down next to the two of them and asked in a cold voice: "Can you find another place to live?"
"What's going on?" Bai Hanyi asked knowingly. Looking at Bai Moyue who looked obviously unhappy, he asked, "Is it our general..."
"Shut up." Bai Moyue stopped Bai Hanyi coldly before he could finish his words. "Bai Hanyi, did Wen Zimo tell you something? Is he really the general of Yunchuan Kingdom?"
"If it's true, it's true, General." Bai Hanyi gave Bai Moyue the answer she wanted with absolute certainty, "This is my first time here, what can he say to me?"
Bai Moyue looked at Bai Hanyi suspiciously, not completely believing what he said. After Bai Hanyi's repeated questioning, Bai Moyue reluctantly told what happened just now. But as soon as she finished speaking,
Bai Hanyi over there started laughing.
"Isn't this a good thing? Miss Bai, I think you might as well just agree to it!"
"Are you waiting for Yang Xiang to come to you and fight for your life?" Xi Honglei suddenly spoke out. With just one sentence, Bai Hanyi, who was not afraid of trouble, calmed down. Xi Honglei looked at Bai Moyue with an innocent face but
With a somewhat annoyed expression, she thought for a while, looked at Bai Hanyi again, and asked: "Isn't Wen Zimo going to marry the princess soon? I heard from the maid in the house that the marriage was granted by the emperor himself.
, what does he mean when he comes out like this again? Is he trying to resist the decree? Or...is he hiding something else?"
"We just came to visit to join in the fun. It would be bad if we really got into trouble." Bai Hanyi changed his previous gloating and said with a solemn expression: "I'm going to find out what's going on. You guys also
Don’t be too anxious.”
After Bai Hanyi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room. Bai Moyue and Xi Honglei were left looking at each other.
"Mo Yue, do you think it's possible that he just wanted to find a shield to refuse this wedding?" Xi Honglei originally wanted to tease Bai Mo Yue and ask her if she was so resistant to Wen Zimo's proposal because she had other things in mind.
But seeing Bai Moyue's distressed look, Xi Honglei couldn't bear to distract her from thinking about Yang Xiang anymore, so she had to give up.
"Then the shield he used was too casual. The country of Yunchuan is vast and rich in resources. What kind of woman can a majestic general like him not find? He doesn't know my background, so he dares to do such a reckless thing.
Decision? If it is true as you said, then I think he is really crazy."
After Bai Moyue thought about it again and again, she rejected the idea of Xi Honglei. At this point, they had no choice but to take it one step at a time. Anyway, there were not many days until the emperor's birthday, so they should hurry up and use this time to finish what they should do.
After the incident was over, she would pack her things and return to Xixi Country. Then she would not believe that Wen Zimo could still chase him to Xixi Country.
Facts have proved that they did gain something by staying in the General's Mansion this time. In just two or three days, Xi Honglei and the others met many important officials in the court. As for Wen Zimo's identity and background
etc., and also found out some things they had not expected before.
When they had nothing to do during the day, Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue would go out of the house and walk around the busiest streets in the city. Only here did they realize that Wen Zimo was a veritable topic of conversation in Yunchuan Kingdom.
figure.
Wen Zimo is not like other ministers in the DPRK who have elders in his family who are officials in the DPRK, so he naturally embarked on this path. He is the youngest military champion in the history of Yunchuan Kingdom, and also the youngest scholar in Yunchuan Kingdom.
The person who climbed to the position of general the fastest. I heard that when he faced the Holy Spirit and competed in the palace, he was arrogant and uninhibited and asked his opponents to fight together so as not to waste his time. This also offended many people. But
I have to say that Wen Zimo really has some skills, otherwise he would not be appreciated by the emperor, and he has been walking so smoothly on this official road.
Wen Zimo has been an official for so many years, and he often angers others when he talks to them. However, he has high power and position, and others can't do anything to him. As for the engagement with the princess this time, it seems that the princess personally proposed it to the emperor.
of.
Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue were sitting at a tea stall on the street, thinking carefully about the news they found out on the street. In addition to finding it a little funny, they were also a little shocked. Because no matter what,
Without any power or influence, it is not easy to reach this point by yourself. Not everyone can do this.
On this street, most of the people who mentioned Wen Zimo were women, so Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue could imagine how many women in the capital were attracted to him before the engagement between the princess and Wen Zimo was reported.
This venomous general.
"How credible do you think it is?" Bai Moyue asked Xi Honglei with a smile while holding a tea cup.
"Half and half." Xi Honglei thought of the scene when Wen Zimo said those words to herself, and felt that it was normal for him to anger others because he couldn't speak.
As Xi Honglei spoke, her eyes followed a group of soldiers passing by. During the time they came out, this was the second time they saw these people passing by in the busy city. If it is the emperor's birthday,
With the coming of the new year coming, it is reasonable to strictly check people entering and leaving the capital. But the owner of this tea stall said that they seem to be very used to this situation. In other words, not only during special periods, but also on weekdays
There are often officers, soldiers, guards and others taking to the streets to inspect and manage things. And these people are all Wen Zimo's subordinates.
If a country can be like this for ten years, then regardless of whether it is strong or weak, the people living here will definitely support the ruler. Water can carry a boat or capsize it, so first comfort your feet.
people, this is a very wise move by the emperor.
"It's not too early, let's go back." Xi Honglei looked up at the red clouds on the horizon, paid for tea, and walked slowly back to the general's mansion with Bai Moyue. But by chance, she met Wen Zi at the door of the mansion.
ink.
Wen Zimo, dressed in military armor, jumped off the horse. The moment he saw Bai Moyue, Xi Honglei could clearly see the burning light flashing through his eyes.
Wen Zimo walked directly in without saying hello to the two of them. The two of them watched his retreating figure and waited until there was a long distance before they stepped into the general's mansion.
Before the two of them had gone far, they heard someone running behind them in a panic, muttering in a low voice, "Oh no, the princess is here."
Then he headed towards Wen Zimo's courtyard.
The fearful expression on that person's face aroused the interest of Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue. When the real general's wife arrives, shouldn't they welcome her with happy faces and flattery?
Looking at each other and smiling, Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue changed their direction and walked towards Wen Zimo's residence. They stopped at a corner not far from his villa and waited for the servant who came to report the news.
, came out of Wen Zimo's room with a pale face, shook his head and walked out. When Wen Zimo never showed up, Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue took the opportunity to get into the yard.
Where Wen Zimo lives, there are two rows of houses at the front and back, with three rooms in each row. There is a fairly small yard between the front and back. The layout of the yard is simple, so it is not that easy to find a good hiding spot.
things.
"What should I do?" Bai Moyue looked around, but couldn't find anything good. Just as she continued to look around, her body was suddenly pulled hard by Xi Honglei. A moment later, she was already on the other side.
On the small lawn behind the yard.
"Shh..." Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue carefully pressed against the wall. After finding Wen Zimo's room, one of them was responsible for listening, and the other was responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation, so as to be ready to escape at any time.
Just as Bai Moyue adjusted her posture, she was frightened by the window that was suddenly pushed open. Her heart stopped for a beat. Her body was stiff and she was stunned. Bai Moyue could not advance or retreat. Fortunately, the person who opened the window did not
She didn't look outside, otherwise Bai Moyue thought, she would definitely not have the chance to stay in this general's mansion tonight.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." After seeing the woman who broke into the door, Wen Zimo frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the wall, opened a small window and asked aloud.
Every time he was in the same room with this woman, he would find it difficult to breathe. The front yard was full of guards she had brought with him, and he could not show her dignity in front of her people.
"Does General Wen just not want to see me?" Yin Limo looked at Wen Zimo's reaction and actions. It would be a lie to say that he was not sad.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare." Wen Zimo rarely spoke politely, "I'm just afraid that the room will be too stuffy and the princess will be suffocated."
"Stop talking nonsense with me." Yin Limo closed her eyes, not believing what Wen Zimo said at all. She walked around the desk and sat where Wen Zimo was sitting just now. Yin Limo turned her head to meet Wen Zimo's cold gaze and said: "
The queen mother asked me to tell you that you should take the piano player into the palace in advance to let her see it and see if he is as good as the rumors say. If not, replace him quickly to avoid showing up in front of the civil and military ministers of the court.
