Cannon Fodder is No Longer with Me

After finishing the matter of Hou Mansion, Mu Xing returned to Dazhuang Village and lived a peaceful life.

He often thinks of A Yue.

Not only Mu Xing, but also the family members from time to time.

"This child has not returned a letter for so long." The family was worried.

After all, Ayue is on the battlefield, although Mu Xing has repeatedly assured that Ayue is very capable and will not have an accident, in the end he is still afraid.

The battle with Beizhai was very close, and even remote places like Dazhuang Village felt nervous.

The court forcibly levied grain several times, and the life of the people became more and more difficult.

Occasionally, when Mu Dazhu comes back from the town, there will be a sad look on his face.

Later, there were rumors that the imperial court was going to surrender and ceded the land to seek peace. Many people living in the north began to move with their families.

Mu Xing was very worried about A Yue, he remembered the seemingly mysterious light group, but the light group was completely unreliable at such a critical time.

It just doesn't appear.

Until that day.

The village of Dazhuang suddenly became very lively, and the village was beating gongs to circle the whole village.

Everyone knows that the court won Bei Zhai!

The air suddenly became cheerful.

Before the time when the shop closed on weekdays, Mu Dazhu and Mu Jiawang went home with a happy face.

"When I was passing by the teahouse, I heard that there was a young general named Mu Yue who was very brave and made great contributions to capture King Bei Zhai." Mu Dazhu's face flushed with excitement, "This is The name... won't it be our Ayue?"

The whole family was very excited, Aunt Mu's hair was all white, but she was still full of anger when she said angrily: "I said earlier that we, Ayue, have great prospects."

Mr. Zhang reluctantly calmed down: "Don't get too excited, if it's not, let's not go out and talk nonsense."

"I think most of it is!" Aunt Mu laughed, "Of course I won't go out and say it, we can just close the door and be happy."

Since the war is over, the Mu family is waiting for A Yue to return home.

I waited for more than half a year, but I didn't get any news from A Yue.

Mu Dazhu went to the county government to inquire, but couldn't find this person at all.

The Mu family changed from expecting joy to worry, and Mu Xing even saw Mrs Zhang weeping quietly behind everyone's back.

He heard Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Mu Dazhu whispering:

"...We don't expect A Yue to make great achievements and become a high-ranking official, as long as people are safe. But why hasn't there been any news about this child?"

When the family had dinner together that night, Mu Xing said, "I heard that the imperial court will award rewards to soldiers who have meritorious deeds. I will leave for the capital tomorrow to see."

Mu Jiawang immediately said, "I'll go."

Mu Jiafeng said, "My sister-in-law is still pregnant, let me go."

Mu Xing said: "I..."

The whole family looked at him: "You are not allowed to go!"

Mu Xing: "…"

He knew what the Mu family meant, and tried to defend himself: "I'm in good health, and I haven't been sick for many years. And I'm very powerful, third brother, you don't know."

Mu Jiafeng didn't give him face at all: "No, it's hard to hurry, I'll go."

Mu Xing had no choice but to secretly decide to find someone tomorrow.

However, the next day, none of the Mu family went.

Before it was bright, Mu Xing was awakened by the sound of uniform horse hooves outside.

Most of the people in Dazhuang Village were still sleeping, and Mu Xing felt it attentively. The voice said that there were hundreds of people at least, and they could reach Dazhuang Village in at least a quarter of an hour.

Why do so many people come to Dazhuang Village?

He quietly put on his clothes and sat on the big tree at the entrance of the village.

It didn't take long before I saw a line of dark shadows galloping from afar.

Mu Xing watched quietly, making up his mind that if the visitor was unkind, he had to find a way to protect the safety of the villagers.

But the next moment, his eyes widened - the knight at the head looked a little familiar?

A Yue looked forward, full of excitement.

He didn't come back for five years.

He didn't even dare to reveal any bit of his relationship with the Mu family, because he couldn't guarantee that what he was going to do would be successful.

If it fails, it will inevitably affect the Mu family.

For five years, he hid in the Northwest Army, contacted his father's former army, and secretly accumulated power.

Because of the fear of failure and affecting the Mu family, he did not even dare to send a letter, and the people around him thought he was an orphan.

In a sense, he is indeed an orphan. His Qin clan, the upper and lower clans, had all been killed by the dog emperor.

The Mujia Village in front is peaceful in the hazy morning light, and A Yue's heart is also soft - no matter how the weather changes outside, this is always a pure land.

Just as he was about to pull the reins and turn his head back to ask his subordinates to stop and wait outside, something suddenly flew towards him above his head, and his cronies also exclaimed, "Be careful, son!"

A Yue quickly raised his hand, wrapped the whip in his hand around the shadow of unknown origin.

It is a half-ripe apple with a hint of cyan.

A Yue suddenly raised his head when he felt something.

In front of the village entrance, sitting on a hundred-year-old tree branch, a man in blue clothes.

The sky was dark, and the surroundings were quiet and hazy.

A Yue was stunned and stared at the man.

The cronies also stayed for a while, then came back to their senses and suddenly pulled out the sword: "Who are you?"

A Yue got off the horse, raised his head and looked at the people on the tree, quite happy: "Senior brother, why are you here, do you know that I'm coming back? I haven't seen my brother for five years, and the style is even better. How are you?"

The cronies stayed for a while, not knowing whether they were surprised that the little son still had a senior brother, or that he was so stubborn when he talked.

Mu Xing jumped from the tree under A Yue's worried eyes, and said, "I was asleep, but you woke me up."

A Yue only then remembered that his brother has a deep inner strength, and it is impossible for him to hide such a big movement of his group riding a horse.

He apologized and said, "It's not Ayue's fault for disturbing senior brother's rest."

Mu Xing's response was to raise his hand and give him a hug, hummingly said: "I'm also pretending to be polite to me."

He looked at the people behind A Yue: "These are?"

A Yue just looked at the thin clothes on his body and disapproved: "It's cold in the early morning, senior brother should cherish his body and at least add a cloak."

After finishing speaking, she said happily: "Let's go home first, uncles and aunts should wake up too, go back and talk to you."

He let the subordinates behind him stay outside the village, and followed Mu Xing to Mu's house.

Leaving a kind of cronies looking at each other, one of them said: "Who is this? Who do you know?"

The group shook their heads.

When the two of them got home, everyone in the family was already up.

Aunt Mu is sweeping the yard.

Seeing the two of them walk in from the door side by side, Aunt Mu saw Mu Xing and wondered: "Xiaobao got up so early today?"

Glancing at the young man who had just entered, Aunt Mu felt familiar at first glance, and after a few breaths, she suddenly reacted: "Ayue?"

She hurriedly walked this way: "Is A Yue back?"

A Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, it's me, A Yue is back."

Aunt Mu's eyes were red, and she gently patted A Yue: "You child, you don't even know how to send a letter back. You don't know how worried your family is about you."

He shouted: "Dazhu! Xiulan! Ayue is back!"

This time, the Mu family all came out.

A Yue was surrounded by the family and asked questions, Zhang was overjoyed: "Did you come back overnight? Are you tired? Are you hungry? I'm going to steam buns."

Soon the family gathered together to finish breakfast, A Yuecai suddenly stood up, knelt down, solemnly directed at Aunt Mu, Mu Dazhu and Mrs Zhang, each kowtowed three times .

"A Yue has something to hide from everyone." He said in a deep voice, "The person who brought me back then wasn't my father, nor did we suffer a disaster and wander outside."

The Mu family look at me, I look at you, Aunt Mu said softly: "Good boy, stand up first, let's talk about anything."

A Yue didn't get up, just whispered: "My real name is Qin Shuo, my nickname is A Yue. I am the youngest son of the mighty Marquis Qin Zhen. Uncle Tingfeng is the general of the Qin family, and I am Qin. I was left alive. Back then, I was running for my life."

"In those days, the imperial court framed my father for cheating on Bei Zhai, and the three Qin clans were implicated. Uncle Tingfeng replaced me with his youngest son, only in exchange for my life."

"I dare not tell anyone my true identity for fear of dragging you down."

Don't say the Mu family was shocked, even Mu Xing stayed for a while.

The name Weiwuhou is still familiar to him. In his memory, many years ago, the master also said that the court is now in chaos, and there is only one Weiwuhou who is still a hero.

But he stayed in this Dazhuang village and didn't care about the world. He didn't even know that the mighty Marquis who was praised by his master was beheaded by the whole family, and he didn't even know that A Yue was actually the child of the mighty Marquis.

After saying this, A Yue lowered his head quietly, he didn't know what he was waiting for.

After all, I have such an identity, and I have lived in the Mu family for so many years. Whenever someone finds out their identity, the entire Mu family will be implicated.

But he was just lifted up by a pair of hands.

The hands were pale and thin, looking very weak, but very strong and warm.

He met Mu Xing's guilty eyes.

Mu Xing was a little sad: "Master also mentioned the mighty Marquis Mansion to me back then, saying that your father was a great hero. If I could have asked more questions back then, Master would have known this in advance. If you help out, maybe you won't be able to keep a blood relative now."

Mrs. Zhang also looked at him with pity: "Silly boy, it's been so long now, why are you talking about this? I knew you must have a secret back then, but I didn't expect it to be Such a tragic life experience. Over the years, you have been holding all the suffering in your heart, it must be very difficult. "

The injury on the man was obviously caused by a sharp weapon, but Mu Dazhu and Mrs. Zhang didn't ask anything and took the little child back home.

Since of course I chose not to ask, it is naturally even more impossible to care about now.

Only Aunt Mu was worried: "Then, are we going to pack up and prepare to move? I heard that Ayue has made great contributions on the battlefield. What if his identity is exposed?"

The reaction of Mu's family made A Yue's heart fall back to his chest.

Hearing Aunt Mu talking about this incident, he remembered another big event: "Grandma, don't worry, no one can hurt me now. I just went back and talked about the past, and forgot to tell you a story. thing."

He spoke lightly, as if to say something trivial:

"I went out this time and recovered my father's old Northwestern Army. Now, the army has arrived at Huayang City."

"In this world, the surname will be Qin soon."
