Under the service of the maids, Mu Qianmei finished washing and slowly walked out of her room alone.

There is a naturally formed hillside in the backyard of the General's Mansion, which can see the whole of Snow City, and even any movement outside the city can be faintly seen, which is a natural lookout.

At this time, the sun has turned west, and the Snow City in the afterglow of the sunset seems to be dressed in gold, giving people a dazzling and glorious feeling.

As far as the eye can see, the criss-crossing main roads are relatively wide, and people and cars are very lively, while some branch alleys on the side of the main roads are many simple, dilapidated wooden buildings, and it seems that the living conditions are not very good.

The location of the City Lord's Mansion is right in the middle of the city, built against the mountain, it seems that this hill has the advantage of looking at the overall situation, and the location is unique, so the City Lord's Mansion will be built here.

The three newly built palaces opposite the City Lord's Mansion are resplendent and magnificent, and they are indeed quite imposing.

The buildings behind the three buildings, at first glance, look like the old buildings have been renovated, although they have been repaired to a certain extent, but they still do not match the main hall, and they will only be used.

Just as Mu Qianmei was carefully admiring the scenery and buildings in front of her, a handsome and elegant willow pavilion in a white shirt slowly walked over.

It turned out that he was also meditating and practicing, and after he finished looking for Mu Qianmei, he heard that she had arrived at the lookout, so he followed.

Recently, he has been busy with affairs, and he rarely has time to talk to Mu Qianmei.

It was rare to have such a quiet time, he gently walked to Mu Qianmei's side, and said leisurely:

"Senior sister, I really miss to master his old man, and I don't know how he is doing now?"

Mu Qianmei couldn't help but feel a little pity, this young man who had never left his master since he was a child, was simple-minded, and was used to a comfortable and soothing life in the mountains.

"Master, his old man is a master in the world, he wants to understand the mysteries of swordsmanship, let you follow me to practice outside, he doesn't want you to go back now."

Mu Qianmei said softly.

Liu Tingfeng sat on a stone pier on the side, also looked into the distance, and said in a sad tone:

"Senior sister, I don't like this kind of life very much."

He's still like that, he has no scheming, and he can say whatever he wants.

Mu Qianmei sighed and said:

"I know, I don't like it either. However, there are times when we have no choice, because there are some things that we have to do whether we like it or not, and I am the same, and you are the same. ”

"Well, although the eldest brother has never said it, I also feel that our family must have had a great change, why are there so many grievances and hatreds in the world?"

Liu Tingfeng said helplessly.

"Don't you hate those who hurt your loved ones?"

Mu Qianmei asked.

"I have only known one relative of the master since I was a child, and then I have you, senior sister, who is also very good to me, and now I have a big brother, all of whom are my relatives. But I don't have any memory of my parents, and I still don't know what happened, so I can't talk about hate. To me, it would be nice if they were all alive and well! ”

Liu Tingfeng said leisurely.

"Do you know why your eldest brother is reluctant to tell you about the things that have happened?"

Mu Qianmei then asked.

"I think it should be a very sad past, and he doesn't want to make me sad!"

Liu Tingfeng replied softly.

"He loves you and does his duty as an older brother, but as a younger brother, you also have to share some of it for him! You have grown up slowly, and your martial arts should be higher than your eldest brother, he may be because he is older in martial arts, and his mind is complicated, and his talent is not as good as yours, so it seems that it is difficult to make a breakthrough in martial arts progress, if there is really any powerful enemy, can you rest assured that he will face it alone? ”

Mu Qianmei said step by step.

"I won't let anyone hurt my eldest brother, I'm just talking, if I really want to leave you, I'll miss you very much. If only there was no hatred in this world, and there were not so many grievances and grievances, everyone would live in harmony and be like a family. ”

Said with longing.

"When everything is settled, you can live the life you want! I believe that day will come. ”

Mu Qianmei looked into the distance and said yearningly.

The sunset is shining, the sunset is full of sky, a man and a woman on the hillside are like golden boys and girls, and many people cast admiration and envy at them from afar.

But who would have thought that they were all full of worries and worries?

It wasn't until the White City Lord sent someone to call them for dinner that they silently walked back.

Mu Qianmei quickly adjusted her mentality, trying her best to make her expression calm and natural, in order to face the current complicated situation.

During the dinner, Mu Qianmei found that there were more people, and after Jiang Yunyi's introduction, he learned that some former ministers and generals had arrived.

The crane in the cloud and the butterfly in the cloud were arranged at the top table, and there was a special person to serve them.

Jiang Guoshi, Bai City Lord, Zhuang Shujun Brothers, etc., followed by the rest, and the rest were all seated in order, and the whole banquet looked orderly.

However, there is less natural and casual liveliness, and they are basically drinking and eating while discussing the establishment of the country.

After discussion and calculation, it was finally decided that two days later, on May 15, the 375th year of Uko, the founding ceremony of the country would be held.

In this stormy time, the work of the celebration is carried out in secret.

All safety work is also in full swing.

In the past two days, supporters from all sides have also rushed to Snow City one after another.

The gradual entry of tens of thousands of people makes people feel that this ordinary city is suddenly lively.

Ordinary people did not know what was going on, so they speculated, mostly thinking that they were preparing for some kind of friction with their neighbors, and that there was probably going to be a war.

So some people were excited, some people were nervous, and everyone hurried to buy "Yugu Monthly" to read.

But the strange thing is that the "Ugu Monthly", which used to report any disturbances in the Ugu Continent in a timely manner, did not report on it in any way this time.

It looks like it won't be seen in the newspapers next month.

Some careful people found that since the last time the "palace came", the city lord's mansion has been closed for martial law, and those who need to pass from there can only take a detour.

However, the strange thing is that the people who were able to enter and exit that section of the road did not see any nervous expressions on their faces, and it did not look like there was going to be a war.

On the contrary, there seemed to be a faint joy on his face, as if he was going to do something big.

As a result, some people speculated that it might be the City Lord's Mansion that was going to do some great event.

However, I heard that the children of the city lord have all been married a long time ago, so what other happy event can there be?

People began to speculate again that perhaps the lord of the city, who had been celibate for many years, was going to marry some relative of the royal family.

In short, there are different opinions, but no one knows the truth of the matter.

In the Eastern Qin Imperial Palace, in the imperial study, Qin Siyong looked at the two ministers in front of him, and was also discussing this matter.

"What the hell happened in Snow White? Have you found out the exact news? ”

Qin Siyong asked.

"The current news is still not accurate enough, but based on this analysis, it should be that Yun Zhonghe has made some moves in Snow City, and where are the disciples of the Beggar Gang and some former ministers of the former dynasty going."

Wei Xiaohan said.

"Isn't there any news from Yun Tianxiao's side?"

Qin Siyong asked strangely.

"The people he sent disappeared inexplicably, and he didn't know the specific news, and it is said that Bai Zhiming didn't give him any music."

Wei Xiaohan replied.

"Didn't he do anything?"

Qin Siyong was a little angry.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Yan Wansong hurriedly spoke:

"I have instructed him to mobilize troops and horses as soon as possible and go to Snow City, it is estimated that he will be able to reach Snow City within half a month."

"Half a month? Why is it so long? How many troops and horses can he muster to go? ”

Qin Siyong was still very dissatisfied.

"About 100,000 people, I'm already urging him, let him get it as soon as possible."

Yan Wansong hurriedly replied.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Snow City at the moment?"

Qin Siyong calmed down his emotions and asked calmly.

"It's estimated that there are about 50,000 people."

Yan Wansong pondered for a while before speaking.

"100,000 attack, 50,000 defense, do you think he can attack it?"

Qin Siyong asked with some suspicion.

"It's a little difficult, so I asked him to immediately gather another 100,000 and attack with an army of 200,000, which should be more certain."

Yan Wansong replied.

"It's best that you also assist from the side, and if necessary, directly support, you must take down Snow City, and you must not give the crane in the clouds any chance. In addition, there is also some warning to the beggars, who have declared that they are not attached to any country, and now this is not a violation of their promise? ”

Qin Siyong couldn't help but get angry when he thought of the beggar gang.

Wei Xiaohan replied:

"The gang leader and military advisor of the beggar gang are still in the beggar gang headquarters, and the deputy gang leaders Zhuang Shujun and Mu Qianmei have already left the beggar gang, and they are likely to be in Snow City."

"It's best to settle the battle this time, we can't give them another chance, you all go down!"

After Qin Siyong finished speaking, he waved his hand at them and motioned for them to step back.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires!"

After the two finished speaking, they bowed their heads and exited the imperial study.

Qin Siyong sat in the imperial study, casually flipping through the mountains of notes on the case, but he couldn't calm down to read them carefully, and he actually felt upset.

"Could this be an unexpected turning point in the Ugu Continent?"

Qin Siyong thought.

"Who is planning and driving all this? The Scholar Emperor of the Crane in the Clouds would definitely not have such a careful plan. ”

Qin Siyong said to himself.

"If I were him, would I have a better way to lay it out?"

Qin Siyong meditated in his heart, and then shook his head, denying that there was a better way.

"It's a good move!"

Qin Siyong also had to admire, this step was indeed a good one!
