Qi Yue

Chapter 22

The two of them wandered all the way, and it was uncomfortable to visit mountains and rivers, and Mu Qichen deliberately took a long detour, just to let Mo Ranyue see more scenery.

After walking for more than two months, they arrived at Yuangu. The two chatted with Xu Mi, took a bath, ate a meal, and took a good rest before leaving for the imperial capital.

Ningwuhou Mansion.

Mu Tianduo looked at the tall and handsome grandson in front of him, and suddenly felt a toothache, "The one I brought back is the child from back then."

Mu Qichen didn't change his face when he heard the words, "I can't hide it from Grandpa."

Mu Tianduo just wanted to jump, and said angrily, "When did you hide it? When I was young, you protected him in various ways. After going to Abyss Valley, you ran to Abyss Valley as soon as you got free. Now that you are older, you are in a hurry." Take it home, just because I’m afraid I don’t know.”

"Grandpa was joking, Xiaoran is the only person my grandson recognizes, and it is inevitable to bring him back."

"Hmph, anyway, I can't control you anymore." Mu Tianduo took a sip of the tea on the table, "Go back to the court? The border is already in full swing, and the emperor is in a hurry. If you go, You cannot avoid this battle."

Mu Qichen narrowed his eyes, "Grandson doesn't think that the emperor doesn't know that grandson has returned, but since the task has been completed and the emperor doesn't look for grandson, why should grandson find trouble for himself?"

"Alright, you can rest at home for a few days first, and let's see what happens!"

When Mu Qichen returned to Luoxuanju, he saw Mo Ranyue circling around the courtyard gate, walked over and pulled him back, "What's wrong?"

Mo Ranyue looked around, and found that no one was looking at them, so she felt more at ease, "Young Master, Old Hou Ye said, what did you say..."

"Tsk, it's okay, don't worry, you've already passed half the road." Mu Qichen pushed him down on the couch, then got up and poured him a glass of water.

"Hmm..." For Mo Ranyue, Mu Qichen had the ability to make him blush beyond words with just one word, and Mo Ranyue wisely chose to drink tea obediently while holding the teacup.

"We've been resting at home these few days, I'm afraid we won't be so free in the future."

"Oh……"

In the palace, Emperor Jin was listening to the report of the shadow guard.

"Your Majesty, General Mu has returned to the Hou Mansion."

"I know, let's go"

"Yes."

I'm back...

Emperor Jin put down the memorial and meditated.

The past few years have been under his control. When the border war started, it is reasonable to order Mu Qichen to fight the border, but he has just returned from a special mission, so it is not easy to be sent...

Mu Qichen didn't care what the emperor was thinking, he managed to get clean, so he naturally stayed with his own child, and it was a joy to see that person's face flushed and embarrassed by his two or three words of teasing.

In the prime minister's residence, Tong Luoshu received a letter sent by Mu Qichen, and before he had time to be happy for his friend's return, he was distracted by another letter and rushed to Ningwuhou's residence.

Mu Qichen glanced at the frowning friend, picked up the letter and read it without saying a word. It was a letter from Liu Siyun from the border gate. According to the contents of the letter, Mengyang Pass could no longer be held.

"What do you think about this matter? Mengyang Pass was breached, and Jiyi Mountain is the next step down. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it should be able to hold on." Tong Luoshu pursed his lips, his tone was inevitably suppressed, if he had known him earlier You should go with Siyun.

Mu Qichen lowered his eyes and thought quietly, although Li country's military strength is not weak, Jin country should pay more attention to its military strength in recent years, no matter how bad it is, the city will not be destroyed, it seems that those who should come still cannot hide, He's going to set the border...

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I still have to ask for an order to go to the border tomorrow."

"It's not that simple? What do you mean?"

"Let's not talk about the strength of the troops. I asked Mingyou to investigate the Mengyang Pass, and it's not easy to break through." Mu Qichen turned the teacup in his hand, although all this was just his guess, but everything There is an eventuality.

"You mean, there is an inner ghost in the camp?" Tong Luoshu almost exclaimed, "I'll go with you tomorrow, I don't worry about Siyun being there, and it will take half a month for the letter to arrive at our place at the earliest, who can tell me?" I wonder if there's anything else going on in this."

Mu Qichen raised his eyebrows, somewhat unexpected but somewhat reasonable, "You're going too? I'll see when I ask for an order tomorrow, Prime Minister Zuo's place..."

Tong Luoshu didn't pay attention to his friend's expression, and waved his hand, "I'll take care of my father's place, then I'll go back and prepare first."

"Well, I also want to pack up so I can see the emperor tomorrow." Mu Qichen unconsciously clasped the small table with his index finger. In fact, even if he didn't enter the palace tomorrow, Emperor Jin would look for him in two days, but now he can't wait anymore .

"Xiao Ran, what's the matter?" Mu Qichen felt that the child was very silent from just now, and stood there without saying a word.

"Well... I want to go with the young master." Mo Ranyue looked at Mu Qichen with a calm expression, this is his rare expression, the first time he showed this expression was when he insisted on staying in Yuangu .

Mu Qichen pulled the person into his arms, and said with a light smile, "Tsk, I won't allow it if I don't want to, he is my person, you should live and die with me."

These words sounded fierce, but they made Mo Ranyue feel at ease, and he also knew that if this kind of thing really happened to him, Mu Qichen would still be reluctant.

"Okay, I've been talking so hard, you're still laughing." Mu Qichen patted the thin shoulder in his arms.

Mo Ranyue pleaded with red ears, "As long as it's the young master, it doesn't matter, I'm happy."

Mu Qichen felt his heart hit hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you can tease me now, where did you learn it?"

Mo Ranyue was even more embarrassed by what he said, and when she closed her eyes, she blurted out "I learned from you."

Mu Qichen was a little stunned, he didn't expect the child to fight back.In fact, Mo Ranyue regretted it after he finished speaking, especially since Mu Qichen hadn't moved yet, he felt even more afraid, so he could only endure his trembling heart, and buried his face into Mu Qichen's shoulder like an ostrich.

Mu Qichen was brought back to his senses by the movement on his shoulders, patted the child's buttocks and picked him up, "Be courageous, learn how to tease me, what to hide, you should do all the teasing, and take full responsibility."

Mo Ranyue felt that she was a cooked shrimp, waiting for her young master to enter...
