Mu Yangling poked Qi Haoran's waist and asked, "What are you angry about?"

Qi Haoran opened his mouth, he didn't know what he was angry with, but he was angry.

He knew about Mu Yangling's going to Xingyuan Mansion to sell sheep. Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, he was anxious for a moment. He had taken people out to look for it, but who knew that Mu Yangling and the others took a detour back and missed it. , causing him to worry in vain for a long time.

Mu Yangling didn't know about these things, he couldn't blame her, but people have been back for seven or eight days, but they didn't mean to see him at all. Whenever he came back from Hanzhong Mansion, didn't he notify her immediately?

Qi Haoran only felt sour and astringent in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

If Mu Yangling knew that he was angry because of this, it would appear that he was too petty.

Qi Haoran was sullen for a while, and asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

Although he was a little angry, Mu Yangling only thought that his rebellious period had come, and smiled indifferently: "I came to ask you something."

"Hanzhong Mansion is fine, why is it under martial law again?"

Qi Haoran only thought that she knew it from the soldiers, and didn't hide it from her, "My elder brother is now in Hanzhong Mansion, and was assassinated seven days ago."

"Brother Qi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just those little guys who dared to throw an ax in front of the door, caught two alive, and the rest were all dead."

"That should also be the side where Hanzhong Mansion is connected to Jingzhao Mansion under martial law. Why is Xingzhou Mansion under martial law here?"

Qi Haoran's eyes darkened, "Because people passed through Xingzhou Mansion."

Mu Yangling also came to his senses, fell silent for a while, and asked, "Is there a mistake? Brother Qi is just a third-rank general, and the court doesn't hinder others."

Qi Haoran never suppressed his temper in front of Mu Yangling. Hearing this, he said angrily: "If they had this awareness, the Great Zhou's country would not have lost so much. It was aimed at General Yuan before. I was afraid that General Yuan would hold the military power and have great achievements. Zhenzhu, and my elder brother has just taken back a Hanzhong mansion, that's all."

But Mu Yangling felt that something was wrong. The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a bit nervous, but he was not stupid. Whether it was from a national or personal perspective, it would be more beneficial for him to train Qi Xiuyuan.

Among other things, the two functions of quelling the complaints of the domestic people and suppressing General Yuan are worthy of the Great Zhou Emperor's reuse of Qi Xiuyuan.

But seeing Qi Haoran so angry, Mu Yangling said with a little confidence: "It's okay to be a misunderstanding. Brother Qi only has 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is incomparable to those generals who frequently have tens of thousands of mercenaries. The emperor Even if you want to attack a military general, don't change it to Brother Qi."

Qi Haoran stared at her with wide eyes in surprise.

"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Qi Haoran looking at him like this, Mu Yangling became less confident.

Qi Haoran lowered his head and laughed, "Who told you that we suspect that the emperor did it?" He restrained his smile and said, "If the Holy Majesty wants elder brother's life, it's easy. If the imperial decree comes down, even if elder brother refuses I have to go back to Beijing."

"Who is not the emperor?"

"There are people in the DPRK who want to figure out the holy will. What's more, the eldest brother took back the Hanzhong Mansion, which made the relationship between Jin Guo and Da Zhou worse. People's interests, not to mention, our goal is not just Hanzhong Mansion."

In other words, this is a political struggle, and it has not yet reached the point where monarchs and ministers doubt it.

"Do you think it's General Yuan? Brother Qi's being reused by the emperor has also affected his status." It's not Mu Yangling's villainous heart, but she thinks that a person without foundation can grow from a soldier in more than ten years Climbing to the position of a first-rank general would be impossible without a dim sum machine.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is no better than the Southern Song Dynasty in the previous life. Most of the Jiangnan area in the Southern Song Dynasty lost control when it moved south. Only soldiers can pull up an army with a wave of their hands and go to guard the frontier for the country and the people.

Even when Da Zhou fled south, the country's army still resisted the Jin soldiers in an orderly manner. Although the imperial court's control over the army gradually weakened, it still held their lifeline.

The army's food, weapons, horses and fodder came from the treasury, unlike the Southern Song Dynasty, where the generals almost raised the soldiers themselves.

And General Yuan relied on the Shen family to support the army in the past few years. That's it, the materials of the Shen family have to be in the hands of the Transfer Department and the Ministry of War, and cannot be handed over to General Yuan directly. This kind of charity is called donation.

Otherwise, the army is supported by the Shen family and General Yuan, so is this army the imperial court or their two families?

Qi Haoran said he wanted to raise horses for the army, but in fact the racecourse was under his name, and if he wanted to go to the battlefield in the future, he would either have to report to the Ministry of War to ask for money to buy horses from him, or he could only ask Fan Zijin to send a batch of money to the Ministry of War , After the formalities, the Ministry of War will send the money back, counting it as money for buying horses, and the horses can be put into use.

Otherwise, if such a large group of horses were thrown into the battlefield but could not reach the Ministry of War, the censor's impeachment papers could overwhelm Qi Xiuyuan.

Of course, Qi Haoran didn't need to report to arm his personal guards.

So Mu Yangling suspected that it was General Yuan who did it.

Qi Haoran expressed his anger at Mu Yangling thinking about his idol so much, and said: "Don't treat General Yuan as the civil servants who are in the camp. General Yuan is determined to take back the country. Back then we were able to take down the Hanzhong Mansion smoothly because of General Yuan's restraint." Most of the Jin Kingdom's troops are at the border, otherwise the tens of thousands of people, even if they sneak into Hanzhong Mansion and attack from inside and outside, they won't be able to defend Hanzhong Mansion after they are defeated."

"All kinds of situations are possible. Didn't I assume all the situations? I haven't assumed that it's your father's fault. The relationship between your father and son has always been bad, and it can even be said to have deteriorated. You and your stepmother are even worse. It's like they don't share the sky, what if your father sent someone here when he was blown by the pillow and lost his mind?"

Qi Haoran opened his mouth and looked at Mu Yangling silently.

Mu Yangling jumped up, "No way, I just said something in a hurry."

"Of course not. How can a civil servant who doesn't even have a lot of skills as a servant send someone to kill eldest brother?" However, the news of betraying eldest brother cannot be ruled out.

Qi Haoran's face was a little gloomy.

Mu Yangling didn't know what he was thinking, so he patted his chest in shock, and said: "I was scared to death, by the way, I came to ask if you can help me get a pass document for a friend, he wants Go to Hanzhong Mansion to sell sheep."

"What is his identity?"

"The butcher of Xingyuan Mansion."

"Is this the only way to make money from selling sheep? Is it worth his risk to go to Hanzhong Mansion?" You must know that Hanzhong Mansion is now under martial law, and the army and yamen are checking back and forth. Don't use too many means, and now there are a lot fewer merchants coming and going to Hanzhong Mansion.

Qi Haoran felt angry and couldn't vent his anger in places where the army could not control.

"Going back and forth to get rid of the cost can earn twice the money."

Qi Haoran looked at her strangely, and asked, "Then why don't you do it yourself?"

Mu Yangling said helplessly: "I really want to, but I can't live without me at home, and it's too hard to run outside. This kind of business, once a year is enough."

Qi Haoran looked at her with the eyes of a fool, "Who told you to take the sheep to Xingyuan Mansion? Aren't they going to sell sheep? You go to Hanzhong Mansion to collect them and then sell them to them. You come to Hanzhong Mansion Go to freedom, who dares to take your bamboo stick?"
