It was May 16th, and the weather was fine. Early in the morning, Mu Yan took her two sons to the top of Xuanming Mountain to watch the sunrise. Tuoba Yan also took Xiao Xing'er to play on the top of the mountain for a while before coming back.

When Mo Qingchen came to find Mu Yan with a post, Mu Yan was in the yard to guide Tuoba Yan's martial arts. Tuoba Yan was holding a wooden sword specially made for him by Mu Yan, and practicing a new sword technique with a serious look on his face.

Mu Yan sat next to the stone table in the yard, with tea and snacks on it, which was quite comfortable. Xiao Xing'er sat in the car next to her, watching Tuoba Yan practice swordsmanship, happily patted her hands, and occasionally patted the little golden snake wrapped around his wrist. The little golden snake raised her head and looked at Tuoba Yan, then lowered her head silently.

"Not bad!" Mo Qingchen stood at the door, watching Tuoba Yan practiced a complete set of swordsmanship, and applauded loudly, "Although Xiao Yan's swordsmanship looks too soft, it still looks good!"

"Mom, Uncle Xiao Tian'er is saying that my sword skills are very beautiful." Tuoba Yan blinked at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan curled an unknown smile at the corner of her lips: "Then let your uncle Xiao Tianer give you some advice."

Tuoba Yan turned around, took another wooden sword and threw it to Mo Qingchen: "Uncle Xiaotian'er, let's compete in swordsmanship. No internal force, just swordsmanship!"

"Hey! Didn't that uncle bully the young? No, isn't it good!" Mo Qingchen stuffed the post in his hand into his arms, shook it slightly with the wooden sword, nodded and said, "This sword looks very good, give it to me!"

"If Uncle Xiaotian'er wins, I'll give you the sword!" Tuoba Yan finished speaking, holding the wooden sword in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and attacked Mo Qingchen.

Mo Qingchen smiled slightly: "Since Xiao Yan insists on it, I will give you some advice!"

The two quickly fought together. The sound of the wooden swords fighting each other did not sound crisp, but it was very refreshing. Mo Qingchen's sword technique was very fast and sharp, while Tuoba Yan's sword technique was very slow, which looked a little soft at first glance.

Although Tuoba Yan has grown a lot taller in the past two years, he is still shorter than Mo Qingchen. Mu Yan watched the two of them with great interest. Tuoba Yan's swordsmanship was taught by Mu Yan. The advantage is that he can achieve a lot of effort. It seems that it is not only slow, but also a little weak, but the changes and strength are very strong.

After a few moves, Tuoba Yan's wooden sword bypassed Mo Qingchen's wooden sword and knocked on Mo Qingchen's left arm. Mo Qingchen felt a shock in his left arm, and his expression was a little surprised. He immediately put away his previous carelessness and his eyes became more focused.

After half an hour of swordsmanship competition, Mu Yan announced that Mo Qingchen had lost. He used the wooden sword as a weapon and stopped when he was clicked. There was no such situation as injury, but Mu Yan was watching the battle. She counted, Tuoba Yan beat Mo Qingchen four times, and Mo Qingchen beat Tuoba Yan four times.

"Mom, Uncle Xiaotian'er and I should be tied, right?" Tuoba Yan was also counting. He had only learned this sword technique for a while and had just become proficient. Mu Yan said that he had not yet practiced his skills and had at most 50%. Mo Qingchen's sword technique is also very powerful, and the two sword techniques were incompatible. The battle was very exciting.

"No, you won, your uncle Xiao Tianer took it lightly at the beginning. You hurt him first. In the real battle, his strength after being injured will be reduced." Mu Yan said things at the right time. Mo Qingchen underestimated the enemy at the beginning. It seemed to be a draw, but if both sides did not use the wooden sword and the rules were not stopped at the right time, Mo Qingchen would lose.

Of course, this is not because Mo Qingchen's strength is not as strong as Tuoba Yan, but just from this swordsmanship competition.

Mo Qingchen sighed: "I'm wrong. Xiao Yan's swordsmanship is very powerful. I want to learn it with softness."

"Let Xiao Yan teach you another day." Mu Yan looked at Mo Qingchen and said, "What's wrong with you here?"

Mo Qingchen naturally inserted the wooden sword around his waist, preparing to take it for himself. Hearing Mu Yan's words, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay!"

"Think about it again." Mu Yan gave Mo Qingchen a white look.

Mo Qingchen slapped his forehead, took out the post from his arms, and handed it to Mu Yan: "Is there something wrong! That's it! The people from Qingluan Kingdom sent it, but the person who sent the post was very timid. When the post was delivered, he didn't dare to get off the boat and turned around and left."

"The post of the royal family of Qingluan Kingdom?" Mu Yan was a little curious, opened it and smiled after opening it, "Interesting."

Mo Qingchen smiled and said, "What do you think of this?"

"I don't have any idea. I just think that Qingyu didn't give the position of the Crown Princess directly to Baili Qing." Mu Yan said with a smile, "Although if it's really a competition, Baili Qing's chance of winning should be very big, but there may not be any variables in the middle. If Qingyu really likes Baili Qing as the Crown Princess, he would have given her the position of the Crown Princess. He wouldn't have waited so long, and now he's done this again. So I guess that Qingyu may have another heir in his heart, or he just doesn't want Baili Qing to be the heir, but there are Qisha City and Baili Xun behind Baili Qing. Qingyu always wants to give them some face and make them convinced to lose."

"Don't you think that Qingyu's post to invite his master over is ulterior motive? This feast for choosing the princess may be just a gimmick? I haven't heard of Qingluan's other outstanding princesses. A Zheng and Baili Qing are already two of the few known princesses, and the other princes are even unknown." Mo Qingchen looked at Mu Yan and said.

Mu Yan's lips curled slightly: "Do you think this is a Hongmen Banquet?"

Mo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, looking a little puzzled: "Master, what is the Hongmen Banquet mean?"

Mu Yan said calmly: "It's just a banquet with bad intentions."

"Why is it called Hongmen Banquet?" Mo Qingchen was still puzzled.

"No, this is a historical allusion in a miscellaneous note I have read. You haven't read it, so I don't understand it." Mu Yan smiled slightly and said, "But what you said should be one of Qingyu's goals. After all, if you really just want to pass the competition and choose an heir, you will ask me, the enemy, to watch the ceremony. If nothing unexpected happens, Qingyu also invited Ming Yufeng and Ye Zhao. Even if they don't go in person, they will let their son go. After all, this is a major event related to the future of Qingluan Kingdom."

"Does that master want to join in the fun?" Mo Qingchen asked Mu Yan.

Mu Yeon threw the post aside: “Don’t go.”

"Why don't you go?" Mo Qingchen was a little surprised, because he originally thought Mu Yan was very interested in this.

"Xiao Yue'er has confinement me, but you don't know. I'm going to Bodhi Temple to listen to Xuan Kuo's lecture now. Xiao Yue'er has to follow me, let alone go to Qingluan Country as far away from the Shenbing City." Mu Yan's expression was not helpless, because she was not a child anymore. She was interested in many things, which did not mean that she had to do it. Xiao Xinghan was not here and the child was still young, and Mu Yan would also have some concerns about traveling far away.

"Okay." Mo Qingchen glanced at the post again, "I really thought the master would be very interested and wanted to go. But then again, if the master wants to go, he must take Xiao Xing'er with me. Xiao Yue'er is worried and will definitely go with her. But Xiao Yu is pregnant and cannot go out, so Xiao Yue'er definitely doesn't want to leave her. It will take at least two or three months to come back, which is really not suitable."

"That's it." Mu Yan nodded slightly, "Did you have any other plans to tell me?"

"Yes, I originally thought that Qingyu and Baili Qing both hated it so much. If we don't mess up this kind of thing, wouldn't we be sorry for the things they did to Xiao Yue'er? There is someone in our Shenbing City who is qualified to participate in the selection of the imperial daughter, which is A Zheng, but her strength is not as strong as Baili Qing. I just thought that my master pretended to be A Zheng to participate, and then I would step Baili Qing under my feet. No matter what Qingyu's plan is, it will ruin her. Wouldn't it be awesome?" Mo Qingchen said, quite regretful, because this was just his idea of ​​causing trouble, but Mu Yan is indeed not very convenient to go out now.

"It sounds really good." Mu Yan affirmed Mo Qingchen's thoughts, "But if you can persuade my brother Yue'er and agree to me to go, I can consider your plan. It's nothing to take my son with you. If my master and second master follow them to escort their young disciples, they will definitely be very happy, and they don't have to ask Xiao Yue'er to follow you."

"Why is the master listening to Xiao Yue'er so much now?" Mo Qingchen said it was rare to see Mu Yan so well-behaved. No one of them could interfere with what Mu Yan wanted to do. Xiao Xinghan couldn't, but never did, because he was obedient to Mu Yan and felt that there was something dangerous, so he would not forcefully stop him. He usually followed Mu Yan.

"He is a brother, and it's normal for me to hear him." Mu Yan said casually.

"Actually, I have always been very curious about who is older than Xiao Yueer and Xiao Xinghan? Why is Xiao Yueer the older brother and Xiao Xinghan the younger brother?" Mo Qingchen looked at Mu Yan and asked.

Mu Yan's lips curled slightly: "Actually, I asked our parents this question, and they all said that they didn't know who their two sons were older, because they only knew that Xiao Yueer and Xiao Hanhan were born on the same day, but they didn't know when Xiao Hanhan was born. Maybe my grandfather could see it back then, but he never said this."

"Who declared Xiao Yue'er the brother?" Mo Qingchen became even more strange.

A smile flashed in Mu Yan's eyes: "Actually, it was Xiao Hanhan. He chose to be his younger brother because Xiao Yueer would be very happy in this way."

"This is true. Xiao Yue'er especially likes to be someone else's brother. Everyone he sees is his brother. He calls Dugu Dugu Xiaoao, Shangguan Ling Shangguan Xiaoling, and always calls you a younger brother and sister. If you turn off the small characters, it won't work." Mo Qingchen laughed as he said.

"My family Xiao Hanhan should have picked up his parents, and he is on the way back." Mu Yan said, "But when they return to the Divine Soldier City, it will be at least the end of the year. I will be very leisurely in the next six months, because before Xiao Hanhan comes back, Xiao Yueer and I don't plan to do anything big, just guard the Divine Soldier City. Whether to go to Qingluan Country is OK. It will be a bit fun if I go. I want to go out for a walk. If I don't go, it's great to stay at home with my children."

"I understand. I'll ask Xiao Yue'er again and see what he means." Mo Qingchen nodded.

Mo Qingchen got up, walked away with Xiao Xing'er with her, and said he wanted to take Xiao Xing'er to play.

Tuoba Yan, who had been sitting next to him quietly listening to Mo Qingchen and Mu Yan's conversation, looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Is Mom actually planning to go? Isn't she deliberately saying that to Uncle Xiaotianer, and even mentioned that if she went there, she would ask the Master and Second Master to escort him. Uncle Xiaotianer would definitely go to find the uncle again, and then he would also find the Master and Second Master. Once they did, the uncle might not stop her from going out."

"Son, don't say it out loud." Mu Yan blinked at Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan's eyes lit up: "I understand! I think it's okay to go or not. I listen to my uncle very much, right?"

"Well, that's it." Mu Yan nodded seriously.

As Tuoba Yan said, Mo Qingchen really went to find Xiao Yuesheng again and said Mu Yan's meaning. Xiao Yuesheng still said that it was not possible. Then Mo Qingchen went to find Shangguan Min and Shangguan Ke.

Qing Yu is Shangguan Min's enemy of killing his wife. Shangguan Min has never forgotten to take revenge over the years, but he has never had a chance before. Qing Yu also has an extremely powerful master around him. Shangguan Min still has to take care of Shangguan Ling's son, and he never thought of fighting to death. And Qing Yu was trying to kill Ye Anran for power. Shangguan Min knew very well that killing Qing Yu was too cheap. It was necessary to make Qing Yu lose what she valued most, lose everything, and die in pain and torture. Only then can she be considered true revenge.

So when Shangguan Min heard Mo Qingchen say that the royal family of Qingluan Kingdom sent a post and asked the city lord of the Divine Soldier City to go to Qingluan Kingdom to participate in the feast of the selection of the imperial daughters. He said one word without hesitation: "Go!" Shangguan Min thought that even if he didn't want to kill Yu, he would have to ruin the feast!

Shangguan Ke has also been in Shenbing City for a long time. He had been to the nearest Shuangye City several times before. He hadn't been to a faraway place for a long time. When he heard that there was a lot of fun, he was very interested and said that he wanted to go too.

Then Shangguan Min and Shangguan Ke heard Mo Qingchen say that Mu Yan couldn't go, because Xiao Yuesheng didn't let her go, so they went to find Xiao Yuesheng together.

But Shangguan Ke and Shangguan Min didn't expect that Xiao Yuesheng would disagree. He said that if the two seniors wanted to go, he would arrange carriages and horses and entourages, but he would take Mu Yan and Xiao Xing'er with him, so he would not have a talk.

Shangguan Min and Shangguan Ke talked to Xiao Yuesheng, but the two old seniors couldn't talk about Xiao Yuesheng, and were stunned by Xiao Yuesheng's words. Then they talked about their feelings with Xiao Yuesheng, but Xiao Yuesheng's expression was as usual and almost told them to cry. In the end, when the two of them were sent away politely by Xiao Yuesheng, they thought they shouldn't come, but after they went back, they still felt a little unwilling to accept it because they took their baby disciple and the baby disciple together to find trouble for their enemies. It was so exciting to think about it!

In the evening, when Xiao Yuesheng came to find Mu Yan, Mu Yan was guarding a small stove in the kitchen in her yard, stewing soup. The soup in the casserole was rumbled, and the heat was wafting out, and the air was filled with the smell of meat that made people's index fingers tremble.

"Why are you interested in cooking today?" Xiao Yuesheng saw a small stool next to him, so he sat down directly, which was quite inconsistent with his tall figure.

"I wake up every morning to make breakfast. Brother, I cook the side dishes you eat this morning. How does it taste?" Mu Yan lifted the lid of the casserole, gently stirred with a spoon, then covered it, smoked two pieces of firewood, and made the fire smaller.

"Yes, the little fat girl likes to eat very much." Xiao Yuesheng nodded slightly, "I am good at cooking."

"This pot of soup is stewed for Xiaoyu. She said yesterday that she wanted to eat lotus root and rib soup." Mu Yan said, "It will be fine in another quarter of an hour."

"My younger brother and sister, I'm a little uncomfortable with you so well-behaved and sensible." Xiao Yuesheng shook his head with a smile.

"Brother, don't behave like a good person when you get a cheaper one! Otherwise I'll pour the soup on your head!" Mu Yan waved the spoon at Xiao Yuesheng.

Xiao Yuesheng sighed: "Do you really want to go to Qingluan Country?"

"No! I said, it's okay to go or not." Mu Yan looked innocent.

"You have been deceived by Xiaotian'er, you can't deceive me." Xiao Yuesheng looked at Mu Yan and said, "What? Are you really afraid of me? You don't dare to tell me by yourself? You can trick Xiaotian'er into finding two seniors to be lobbyists. You have a good idea! You are still stewing soup for your sister-in-law now. Are you trying to please me?"

Mu Yan held a spoon and pointed at Xiao Yuesheng and said, "Brother, you really get cheap and act good! You guys yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, I made breakfast by myself! I stewed the sweet soup that Xiaoyu drank last night, the chicken soup that Xiaoyu drank the day before yesterday, the mushrooms I picked and made the pheasant. I stewed the soup all day long. Has it been half a pot in your stomach? I couldn't bear to drink it! I'm pleased you? A joke! I've always been very sensible and virtuous, okay?"

Xiao Yuesheng held his forehead and said, "I'm wrong with my younger brother and sister. I'm talking nonsense. But why are you so idle lately? You've become a cook for us every day. In the past, Xing'er always said in front of me that you cook deliciously, but you are always very busy and don't have time to cook."

"You and Xiao Tian'er don't let me care about anything, and you don't let me go out by myself. When I go to the temple to listen to the stinky monk preaching, you have to stare at me, and I can't just read calligraphy, paintings and pictures every day, right? The child is cute, but you all rush to hug him. He has not been with me for more than an hour except for sleeping. Xiao Yan spends more time with Xiao Xing'er than with me. He also has to go to the clinic and go to school to attend classes. He is very busy. I want to go to the clinic, but you said you want A Zheng and Xiao to let him go to the clinic, but you want to go to the clinic, but you said you want A Zheng and Xiao to do so.

Yan practiced more and arranged for me to go for a day after half a month. What do you think I can do when I stay at home? Xiao Hanhan is not here, and Xiao Xing'er slept with me recently. It was because Xiao Yan didn't like the little golden snake that he gave me his dearest younger brother. But I not only have a son in my bed, but also a golden snake king. The snake crawled into me in the middle of the night yesterday, and I can't throw it away because it is your good friend of your baby nephew. Is it easy for me?" Mu Yan looked at Xiao Yuesheng with a "accusation" face and said.

The little golden snake really crawled onto Mu Yan last night. I don’t know if it was confused and treated Mu Yan as a little star. I wrapped it around Mu Yan’s wrist for a few times, and then stopped moving. Mu Yan felt at that time that this snake must be stupid and couldn’t help it. I really wanted to kill it...

When Xiao Yuesheng heard Mu Yan accusing him, he was stunned and looked at Mu Yan and said, "Little brother and sister, are you unhappy?"

"No!" Mu Yan shook her head and sighed, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little bored. Maybe I miss my man."

Xiao Yuesheng looked at Mu Yan apologetically and said, "Xing'er left to pick up her parents. This was originally... "

"Stop!" Mu Yan looked at Xiao Yuesheng and said seriously, "Don't tell me what you should do. When I was pregnant, you were taken away for your brother. Now Xiaoyu is pregnant, it's time for your brother to go back to pick us up. I miss him, but I didn't blame you. I'm not okay with my man leaving for so long. I think about it. I'm not okay? I see you and Xiaoyu showing your love in front of me every day, and I really want to hit you!"

Xiao Yuesheng was amused and cried: "My younger brother and sister, it's wrong for us. We didn't consider your feeling of staying alone in the empty room."

"Why do you feel like you are laughing at me?" Mu Yan said coldly at Xiao Yuesheng.

"Absolutely not." Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, "It is natural for you to think Xing'er. Xing'er is not here, and you were injured several times in a row. I always feel that I did not protect you, because I promised Xing'er. Even if you call me brother, I can't let you be injured under my nose, but I didn't do it."

Xiao Yuesheng looked a little guilty. Mu Yan's injury actually had nothing to do with him, but his responsibilities as his brother made him very unhappy. Since Mu Yan met Yang Xuan on Bodhi Island last time, Xiao Yuesheng has become really nervous and dared not let Mu Yan go out alone, for fear that someone like Yang Xuan will appear again.

It’s not that Xiao Yuesheng doesn’t believe in Mu Yan’s strength. On the contrary, he always believes that Mu Yan’s comprehensive abilities are stronger than him. If he wants to explain his behavior, he can only say that he is concerned and confused.

Mu Yan was really helpless now: "Brother, you know, I'm not that slutty, and it's no big deal to suffer a little injury. The first time I was injured was on Xingyue Island. I met a master who was better than me. Xiao Yan was caught, and finally I was safe. The second time I was injured was a competition with Bai Yuan. The medicine was made by your brother himself. He knew what the consequences would be for me after taking that medicine, so he gave it to me. In the end, although I was injured internally, I also got great benefits. I was very happy. The third time was purely an accident. I wouldn't feel anything about that injury the next day. If it weren't for Monk Xuan Ku who ruined me, I would have caught Yang Xuan."

"Oh!" Xiao Yuesheng sighed, "Little brother and sister, don't say anything unexpected. In fact, you are lucky in these three times. At that time, you are in danger. The first time, you and Xiao Yan are afraid that something will happen to you if you are not careful. The second time is Bai Yuan who didn't find something wrong with you. If he finds it, he will not let it go. The third time said that it was Monk Xuanku who ruined your good things, how do you know that he didn't really save you? Yang Xuan is very dangerous. Your martial arts skills are not as good as him. It is certain that you can use hidden weapons and poison techniques, but how can you ensure that your hidden weapons and poison techniques can defeat him? Yang Xuan once took action and asked the employer to exchange treasures for treasures. He must have many treasures in his hand. The turn pill that A Zheng got from Situ Yu was in Yang Xuan's hands. He could save his life at a critical moment. He would not be so easily caught."

"Okay, I'm right, brother, you're right." Mu Yan spread her hands, "There are naturally countless possibilities for the results that did not happen. Brother, your worries are not redundant. I know you care about me, and I will be more cautious in the future."

"You little brother and sister..." Xiao Yuesheng was about to say something, but Mu Yan turned around and brought two pieces of cloth: "The soup is OK, brother, please let me go, I want to put it there!"
To be continued...
