229 You Can Do Anything You Want In The Northern State
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people walking in the streets are all paying New Year greetings to each other.
The snow that had lasted all night suddenly stopped in the morning, and the sun shone quite nicely. Most of the people walking around were wearing festive red.
Even if the clothes are not red, the scarf must be red. This is a color loved by people throughout Nanzhou, and it is also the most popular color on the streets during the Chinese New Year.
It was not late when Mu Qian opened her eyes. She got up, changed her clothes and got out of bed.
You can see a few sparrows falling from time to time in the yard, and there are porcelain cups for feeding fish outside under her corridor.
A few sparrows flew out of the sky and landed on the railing to eat the fish food in the porcelain cup. This food was originally universal.
Mu Qian took the feed in the porcelain cup and spread it out, quickly attracting many sparrows.
They didn't seem to have any impact on the ice and snow. Mu Qian put the porcelain cup down and stretched.
She then looked into the distance. When she woke up this morning, she felt that she was not very energetic. Last night she tried to use the spiritual power condensation formation.
However, the spiritual energy is not stable and is not as stable as before. The spiritual energy is scattered as soon as you raise your hand.
She herself was not unaware that her body was not as good as before, and she was afraid that more problems would arise in the future.
Thinking of this, Mu Qian leaned on the railing in a daze and set off for Beizhou the day after tomorrow. The people sent by Chi Si had already spread the news in all directions.
Mu Qian once stayed in Beizhou, and she knew how dangerous it was for an ethnic group to be targeted in such a turbulent place.
The bloodline of the ghost clan is special and can condense many forbidden magic formations, and they are all very powerful.
However, the ghost tribe only has a special bloodline and their combat power is not very strong, so their bloodline was cut off when they attacked in groups.
Those who finally survive will choose to remain anonymous and make it difficult to find traces.
Mu Qian sighed when she thought of this, she really wanted to live.
After living in this world for so long, she had never thought of this place as her home, and she only wanted to find her way back.
But it's different now. She has concerns and bonds here, and she really wants to stay in this place.
"Second Miss." Mo Yun's voice came from a distance.
Mu Qian looked up and asked, "Why are you back?"
Most of the servants in the Yun family have gone back for the holidays, including Mo Yun, who has been taking care of her since she returned to the Yun family.
In principle, why did Mo Yun, who started work after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, come back now?
"I was originally going to come back in a few days, but someone asked me to bring you a message." Mo Yun said as he took out the things he brought from his bag.
The gold medal in her hand shone brightly in the sun. The left and right sides of the medal were made of metal feathers, and in the middle were the English abbreviations of the Wei'an Army.
It wouldn't be a big problem if this medal were replaced with a silver one, but with this color, people who are familiar with the Wei'an Army know that there are only two people in the entire Wei'an Army who have gold medals.
One is Marshal Helian Shang, and the other is in her former hand.
"Who gave it to you?"
Almost as soon as Mu Qian asked this question, she had the answer in her heart.
Except for He Lianshang, no one would give this gold medal to me.
"He only said that he wanted to see you and hoped that you would come to the appointment on time." Mo Yun said.
She originally didn't plan to come back and disturb the second lady, but the person who sent this thing didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with.
In order not to delay things, she came over from her hometown overnight.
"Thank you for your hard work. Happy New Year." Mu Qian patted her shoulder.
Mu Qian held the medal and a piece of paper with only one location written on it.
The invitation letter was sent directly to the Yun family without blatantly taking someone with him. This was to avoid Chi Si's outside ears and eyes, and also to avoid the Yun family.
She leaned back on the recliner and thought deeply. Helian Shang was suspicious by nature, and if he had any doubts about something, he would only give up after clarifying it.
So he had doubts about Mu Qian's identity, and he had to get a very precise answer to dispel his doubts.
It's not so much about getting to the bottom of it, but rather trying to find ways to make everything turn out as he expected.
"Qian Qian."
Just when Mu Qian was wondering whether to go see someone, Ning Jin arrived at Tingyu Pavilion.
He was wearing a light gray woolen coat. He had a slender figure. He didn't know what he was thinking about today. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked elegant and handsome.
The most important thing is that he wears a red scarf around his neck, which gives him a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
"I'm here to pick you up to celebrate the New Year. Everyone at home is waiting." Ning Jin walked up to her and spoke.
This year is Mu Qian's first year back after being lost. Not only the Yun family pays attention to it, but the Ning family also pays attention to it.
So before dawn, a group of people rushed him to come and pick him up.
"Let's go." Ning Jin pulled the person to stand up.
"You came too early, I haven't had breakfast yet." Mu Qian replied.
"I'll pick you up early. Don't you have to go to see Mr. Chi with Chi Si in the afternoon?" Ning Jin replied.
So bring the person to the Ning family as soon as possible. If Chi Si takes him away first, where will he find someone to give to his old father who wants to see through him.
Mu Qian was taken to Ning's house by Ning Jin. As soon as she entered the door, she saw four or five women sitting in the living room.
She was a little confused.
Ning Jin whispered in her ear, "They are all relatives. They can move around during the Chinese New Year, so it's hard to refuse. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay attention."
Ning Jingsheng walked out of the tea room and said a few words to Mu Qian with a smile.
The person drinking tea with him over there glanced at her several times, smiled and said, "That's Qian Qian, Chu Luo is really good-looking."
Ning Jingsheng ordered Ning Jin to take people over to play, while he turned around and went back to deal with his relatives.
Unlike ordinary elders, Ning Jingsheng would never force Mu Qian to do something he didn't want to do, such as meeting relatives today.
If she wants to get to know these people, she will speak up, but if she doesn't want to get to know them, then these unnecessary social interactions can be avoided.
There is no need to increase the burden on children.
"Just as my father is busy greeting those people, you can also chat with your brother." Ning Jin took Mu Qian upstairs.
The balcony on the left side of the second floor has been divided into a sunroom. Even in the freezing winter, it is as warm as spring, and many rare species of flowers are blooming.
"I haven't been able to see you these days, and I haven't had time to ask about you and Chi Si. He has already planned to take you to see Mr. Chi. Should our family prepare a dowry?"
Ning Jin was quite open-minded about this matter. He and Chi Si had known each other since childhood and knew that the man's temper was not cold at all.
But if you really care about someone, then you really care about them for the rest of your life.
"Maybe." Mu Qian replied.
She does not object to marrying Chi Si and becoming husband and wife.
It's just that there are really too many so-called etiquettes, and they are so confusing.
"Master, sir, you have been asked to come over."
The two of them didn't chat for a few words before Ning Jin was called over by the servant who came over.
To put it bluntly, occasions like the Chinese New Year are a good time for human kindness and courtesy, and Ning Jin will inevitably face these problems.
Mu Qian took a sip of coffee, then looked up and saw people standing outside the manor.
He was wearing a long black windbreaker and a pair of black patent leather military boots. Compared with the large expanse of white behind him, he looked so dazzling.
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows. Everyone had found this place. It seemed a little too heartless for her not to see them.
The servant at the back brought a fruit plate, but when he opened the glass door, there was no one there.
Only the steaming coffee was left on the transparent coffee table. The servant looked around suspiciously, but did not see Miss Mu Qian coming down when she came up.
Why did the person disappear in the blink of an eye?
The Ning family's manor is located on the edge of the imperial capital, covering a large area. The most important thing is that it is very quiet.
You can reach the manor through a grove of ginkgo trees. It is winter now, and the trees are covered with ice strips and hoarfrost.
Mu Qian looked at the person in front of her, her heart unmoved.
"I thought Miss Yun would not choose to come out to see me." He Lianshang stood with his hands behind his back.
Under the ice and snow, the two of them were the only two touches of color among all the white.
"I don't know why Mr. Helian asked to see me, just because I went shopping with Mrs. Ling?"
There was no emotion when she said this, and she really had the same attitude as facing a stranger.
Helian Shang only glanced at the manor behind her, "I heard that the second lady of the Yun family is not married yet, and the head of the Chi family has not held a wedding. At first, I thought you were husband and wife, but now it seems that I was rude.
"
Mu Qian cursed silently in her heart, this person was really the same as before, speaking in roundabout ways and not straightforward at all.
"Some red tape can be discarded. The ability of two people to become husband and wife does not rely on those rituals."
Hearing what she said, Helian Shang laughed.
Mu Qian, who was aware of his habits, understood that he had long been suspicious.
Helianshang was suspicious by nature. When she first chose to assist the security army, Helianshang thoroughly investigated her information.
The clues in this cannot be completely covered up, but she was indeed a mortal body at the time. She was obviously not a spiritual person, but she was able to teach them formations and spells.
At that time, Mu Qian was not completely unreserved. She only wanted to establish a firm foothold. She knew that it would arouse Helian Shang's suspicion.
How can an ordinary person not be suspicious of an ordinary person who knows formations and spells?
But she didn't think about it that much at the time. It wasn't until she died and Mu Qian's spirit floated that she saw everyone's reactions.
If He Lianshang had doubted her identity from the beginning, then after her death, it would not be difficult to guess what happened to her after contacting the clues from the past.
Now that people are chasing him, she would never believe it if he said it was just for cooperation with Nanzhou.
"If Mr. Helian has nothing else to say to me, I will go back first." Mu Qian said immediately.
Helian Shang reached out his hand very quickly, and almost jumped away the moment his hand was about to touch her neck.
As the air flow oscillated, the ice on the trees began to fall down.
Mu Qian stood behind him and looked at him calmly, "I don't want to fight with you, but Mr. Helian is going too far."
Helian Shang turned around. His attack was already very fast, but she was still able to dodge it.
His ability is not low, and he can detect his intentions.
"Mr. Helian, it's just this once, it won't happen next time."
Mu Qian doesn't intend to get involved with him. He shouldn't be here, and neither does she.
"Are you blaming me?"
Helian Shang's sudden words made Mu Qian stop in her tracks.
"I know you are blaming me, otherwise, you wouldn't pretend not to know me." Helian Shang said calmly.
Mu Qian turned around, her eyes blank, "What are you talking about?"
It's a pity that this confused expression did not make Helian Shang put aside his doubts. He never doubted his own judgment.
For some people, even if their appearance changes, their innate temperament will not change.
What's more, they have been together day and night for so many years, and they know all her habits clearly and will not admit their mistakes.
Helian Shang just raised his head and looked into the distance, "Beizhou has been stabilized. If you are willing, I can take you back to Beizhou. From now on, there will be no war. You can do whatever you want in Beizhou."
"
The promise he was unable to say out loud at the beginning can now be said openly.
"Mr. Helian, this is a bit inappropriate given your status." Mu Qian glanced at him.
"Just treat it as inappropriate." He Lianshang continued, "If you really want to live an ordinary life, you should live out your life as an ordinary person. Isn't it better to return to the ordinary? Nanzhou is now at Shuling.
Under your control, you should know better than me, an outsider, what kind of person the director is. A person like him will not let any additional factors that threaten his rule exist."
In other words, Mu Qian's identity is Hong Zhi, and now her ranking has skyrocketed, and she is the disciple that the World Honored One acknowledged before his death.
With Qin Hui's character, he would not let go of unruly spirits.
In addition, those who disobey Qin Hui will definitely try their best to get Mu Qian's help. If she comes and goes, she won't be able to stay here long.
"That gold medal has been returned to its original owner. With that thing, you can travel unimpeded in Beizhou. As long as you want, you will always be protected in Beizhou. I will not let anyone hurt you."
Things that were impossible to do before are no longer difficult now.
He knew what the former little strategist wanted most, and he could now give her the freedom she wanted.
Mu Qian handed the gold medal back to him, "There is no reward for no merit. My relationship with Mr. Helian is not yet to the point where I can accept this thing calmly, but I can make you a friend. After all, Miss Lingsu and I
It’s quite a hit with me.”
"The fact that you can accept Lingsu means that you are not angry, and that is enough."
He Lianshang disappeared without warning, and the gold medal was still in Mu Qian's hand.
She glanced behind her and saw that there were many servants from the manor. They must have discovered that she had disappeared and came out to look for someone.
