Chapter 46 "The king and the horse share the world"
He Mucheng looked at his cautious appearance, and his thoughts slowly became longer.
When I first met Ji Yunyuan, he was indeed self-righteous and even looked like a disciple. But I don't know since when, this guy actually learned to respect him and even blushed at every turn...
The book says that he had countless women and concubines, but the person in front of him didn't even remotely match that.
Did her appearance directly kill the young general's romantic nature?
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Ji Yunyuan was still waiting for her answer seriously. He Mucheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. She stood on tiptoes and patted Ji Yunyuan's shoulder, and said seriously, "I have made progress these days."
After hearing this, Ji Yunyuan felt like a child being praised. He scratched his head in embarrassment, his handsome face turned red again, "It's okay if Ayan doesn't hate me."
"Like a fool..." He Mucheng waved his hand and walked out of the room.
Ji Yunyuan followed her, looking at her brisk pace, a gentle look slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them left the city gate and walked for a while before they saw a figure dressed in white and snow at the camp.
He Mucheng took a closer look and saw that the person coming was none other than Wang Xuan?
She waved her arm and called urgently, "Mr. Lang!"
Wang Xuan's face was as jade-like and he smiled warmly.
Ji Yunyuan seemed to be worried. He looked sideways and saw the smile on the little girl's face. He snorted coldly from his breath, "Are you really so happy?"
He Mucheng clicked his tongue, "Wang Xuan is safe and your reputation has been saved. Aren't you happy?"
Ji Yunyuan then hummed another single note from his nose. This time, he was obviously happy, "Humph, what a clever word."
As he spoke, Wang Xuan was already approaching. He bowed his hands to Ji Yunyuan and said, "General, thank you very much."
Wang Xuan's words of thanks directly attributed He Mucheng's saving her from the crisis to Ji Yunyuan.
He Mucheng sighed in his heart. Wang Xuan would indeed weigh the pros and cons. It would be shameful to be rescued by a woman. If he was rescued by Ji Yunyuan, it would not only bring the relationship between the Langya Wang family and Ji Jiajun closer, but also allow him to work for Ji Yunyuan in Jianye.
The rectification of names has become a matter of course.
Ji Yunyuan immediately regained his dignity and returned the greeting, "Your father's body was burned together with the coffin. I have tried my best."
Wang Xuan's grief only fleetingly passed away.
"God's will cannot be violated." He smiled bitterly and said no more.
After Ji Yunyuan explained everything, he took another deep look at the innocent and pure girl, then turned and left.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was so calm, He Mucheng gritted her teeth and comforted her, "My condolences, Sir."
Wang Xuan twitched his lips, "The coffin of the King of East China Sea has been burned, how can my father dare to return to his hometown?"
He Mucheng naturally understood what he meant. Shi Le had already burned Sima Yue's coffin. Therefore, even if Ji Yunyuan could save Wang Yan's body, Wang Xuan could not justifiably transport it back to Jianye.
Seeing her silence, Wang Xuan stopped and said, "Ayan, I can only grant you the position of concubine. I know that you fell into the hands of Murong Ke because of saving me. Even if you are the concubine, it will not be the same for you."
It's humiliating, but I have no other choice."
Seeing Wang Xuan's sad face, He Mucheng immediately sensed something was wrong. She ignored the question of whether she was a concubine or not, but caught the worry in Wang Xuan's words and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
Wang Xuan chuckled lightly, "Ayan, do you really think that His Majesty will send troops north to attack Shi Le for the body of the King of East China Sea?"
He Mucheng had a flash of inspiration, and the plot in the book immediately came to mind. Could it be that the Wangdun Rebellion was about to begin?
The Sima family moved the capital from Luoyang to Jianye, and the Wang family of Langya played an indispensable role, hence the saying "The king and his horse share the world."
However, Wang Dun's ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, and his military power was concentrated in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The emperor was afraid of the power of the Wang family in Langya, so after making some arrangements, he sent troops north to deal with Wang Dun on the pretext of a northern expedition to Shile.
He Mucheng thought that although his appearance had disrupted the causes and consequences of some events, the general direction had not changed.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was testing her reaction, He Mucheng knew that Wang Xuan seemed to believe her about being good at divination.
She did not directly respond to Wang Xuan's inquiry, but asked in a roundabout way, "Master Wang, Master Tutor, should be the happiest when he escaped from death."
He Mucheng remembered that although Wang Dun and Wang Dao were both from the Wang family of Langya, they had always had disagreements. If Wang Dun was a sycophantic traitor who rebelled, then Wang Dao was a loyal general who killed his relatives in a righteous way.
As soon as she said these words, Wang Xuan laughed softly. After a long time, he sighed, "Ayan once said that he was good at divination. Now that I heard it, he really deserves his reputation."
He Mucheng thought that Wang Dun would be successful for a while, but he would eventually be defeated. Wang Xuan also said that he had no choice but to grant her the position of concubine. Could it be that Director Wang wanted to place Wang Xuan next to Wang Dun?
Eyeliner?
Seeing her stunned, Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders. His jade-like face was full of tenderness, "Ayan, the legitimate son of the Langya Wang family, has no control over marriage matters. Although my concubine's status is not comparable to that of my mistress,
But with me here, you don’t need to be a little low-key.”
He Mucheng laughed dryly, took a step back, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mr. Sir, you don't have to feel guilty. Murong Ke didn't do anything to me. I'm still unmarried."
Wang Xuan looked at her quietly, and as he looked at her, he suddenly leaned forward and embraced her with his long arms.
"Ayan, do you know? You asked me to leave first that day. In fact, I know that I shouldn't leave you."
He Mucheng was shocked. When did Wang Xuan start to take advantage of her like Ji Yunyuan?
She hurriedly reached out and pushed Wang Xuan away, deftly dodging his embrace, "Lang Jun, you couldn't have helped much by staying at that time. Look, you and I are fine now. Isn't this the best result?"
Wang Xuancuo blinked in astonishment. Perhaps he had never thought that a woman, the legitimate son of the Langya Wang family, would reject his advances?
He Mucheng simply explained, "If you know I'm fine, you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to waste your position as a concubine to compensate me. I, Ayan of the Nan family, will not be a concubine."
After saying this, He Mucheng was secretly happy in his heart. He didn't want to be a concubine. It was such a good excuse and it always worked!
Wang Xuan finally smiled helplessly, "I know that if it were Ji Yunyuan that day, he would not leave you anyway. But Ayan, if you give me another chance, I will still make the same choice."
At this moment, Wang Xuan's voice was soft and gentle, but his words were so cold.
Seeing that He Mucheng was a little surprised, he sighed softly, "The way of giving up and giving up is something that the legitimate son of Langya Wang family must learn. You may say that I am indifferent or selfish, but if I can't make the best use of everything,
, then all sacrifices are worthless, even ridiculous, can you understand me?"
He Mucheng thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I understand."
Wang Xuan was surprised by her indifference, and added, "Even if it involves my father's body, I can still be ruthless, and if my father is alive in heaven, he will not blame me."
He Mucheng continued to nod, "I understand."
Seeing that she was a little more well-behaved, Wang Xuan stepped forward with a smile, but He Mucheng still instinctively retreated.
Wang Xuan's face finally turned cold, "Since you understand, why are you still blaming me?"
