As he spoke, he covered his lips and coughed a few more times and said: "I was scolded by you last night. He stood aside and watched the fun without saying anything. He even gave me bad ideas and asked me to win your sympathy through a trick. Do you think this is not true of him?
What's wrong with me?
If I really do this, won't it make you even more unhappy, father-in-law?
I don’t know what his intentions are, he just doesn’t want me to feel better.”
When Mu Rufeng heard this, the expression on his face changed unpredictably, and there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Xiao Chengyi said hurriedly: "If you don't believe me, father-in-law, you can ask Xiuchen if Feng Changling gave me the idea last night and asked me to use a trick to deceive you."
Ye Xiuchen trembled. This was really a fight between gods and a devil. Why is he here?
Mu Rufeng looked back at Ye Xiuchen and asked, "Is it true?"
Ye Xiuchen wanted to cry. Is Xiao Chengyi forcing him to betray Feng Changling? They are all brothers, is this really a good thing?
Forget it, saving your life is the most important thing.
Ye Xiuchen gritted his teeth and said, "Changling is also worried about his elder brother. General, don't blame him."
Mu Rufeng glanced at Xiao Chengyi and said, "So, are you really sick and not just pretending?"
Xiao Chengyi said with a serious look: "Father-in-law Mingjian, I wouldn't dare to lie to you if you gave me a hundred courages. If you don't believe me, you can ask the medical officer to take a look at it to see if I'm faking it?"
Mu Rufeng said: "Even if you weren't pretending, you might have made yourself sick on purpose."
Xiao Chengyi couldn't laugh or cry, he said: "Yan Yan is still suffering in Mobei, does my father-in-law think I would be so unreasonable?"
He really wasn't pretending to be sick, nor did he cause it on purpose. He was hit hard by Mu Rufeng's scolding last night, and he got windy and couldn't stand the long journey, so he fell ill.
What kind of cruel trick did Feng Changling play for him? It was obviously a trick to trick him. How could he fall for it if he wasn't stupid?
Mu Rufeng was already angry. If he continued to lie to him, then his son-in-law would really have done his best.
Mu Rufeng snorted and said, "I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Xiao Chengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this test. He asked, "What happened to Xuandu?"
Mu Rufeng's face was a little solemn: "A night attack in Mobei, Xuandu led his men to meet the enemy but encountered a sandstorm. His life and death were unknown. I sent people to expand the search area, but he was not found. I only found his sword."
Xiao Chengyi frowned: "Father-in-law, do you think something happened to him or was he captured by Mobei?"
Mu Rufeng shook his head: "The sandstorm was very severe. Many of our soldiers were buried under the yellow sand, and many of them have not been found. I am not sure whether something happened to Xuandu or he was kidnapped.
.”
Xiao Chengyi said firmly: "Xuandu is very familiar with Mobei. I don't believe anything will happen to him."
After saying that, he asked again: "Before this, was there anything unusual about Xuandu?"
Mu Rufeng thought for a while and said: "He seems to have something on his mind. Mobei cannot be conquered for a long time. He said that continuing like this is not a long-term solution. By the way, there is this."
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Xiao Chengyi and said, "This was found on his camp desk."
Xiao Chengyi took it and unfolded it, and saw that it had the shape of a flying eagle sketched in pen and ink, and the pattern looked familiar to him.
He asked: "Does my father-in-law know what this is?"
Mu Rufeng replied: "It's the totem of Mobei Royal Court. Mobei's flag has such a flying eagle, but I don't know what Xuandu did with this painting?"
