Chapter 123

Just after dawn, Liu Mu wrote a letter to Feige and released it, which happened to be seen by Feng Linling.Thinking of the person who delivered the food with an accent outside the customs that day, he couldn't help feeling suspicious of Liu Mu.

"My husband's actions that day were clearly suspicious of the person who delivered the food, and the words he talked to my grandmother seemed to be inquiring about the relationship between my family and outside the customs. If my husband came from outside the customs to win over my father and brother's secret work, then it would be wrong. It should be like this. Now that foreigners outside the pass want to invade the Central Plains, Xianggong will pay more attention here, could it be that Xianggong was sent by the imperial court to monitor my father and brother?" Feng Linling felt uneasy, but after thinking about it, she and Yin Tianchou have been together since the beginning. It will not be too long to see today, not to mention that with the style of his father and brother, he will definitely investigate Yin Tianchou's life background. I am afraid that even the footprints in the Central Plains in these years will be investigated clearly. There must be nothing suspicious about Yin Tianchou's background in organizing the marriage of these two people.If Yin Tianchou really planned to get close to him, how could he have spent so many years making careful arrangements.The more Feng Linling thought about it, the more confused she became, and she couldn't think of a reason for it.

"The old man Zeng Pu and I are holding each other back. It's a hindrance when we do things. Now the emperor intends to weaken the prime minister's power, and the minister of the Ministry of War has been dismissed. It's really not good for us father and son." Feng Liang put down the teacup in his hand and said "The useless father and son of the Wen family may not be of much use in the court. Zeng Pu planned to withdraw my military department today, and I am afraid that it will be time to attack the Wen family soon."

"This old man can't bear to deal with us at last. Thanks to you, father, you have been strategizing for so many years, so that Zeng Pu has no way to find anything. Now that the post in the Ministry of War is vacant, and the emperor has not yet chosen, why don't we take this opportunity to recommend us?" people will take their place."

Feng Liang said, "This is absolutely impossible. Zeng Pu sent a lot of secret books to the imperial study these days. Who knows what he said that is not good for us, the emperor will suddenly investigate and deal with the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you The person who recommends us to the emperor may fall right into Zeng Pu's arms and make the emperor suspicious of us. Do you still think he is the prince who played chess with you back then?"

Feng Langqu frowned, "Father, I don't think we can sit still and wait for death."

"You mean..." Feng Liang lowered his voice.

Feng Langqu nodded, "Father, instead of getting into trouble with Zeng Pu in the court, it is better to retreat. First, let Zeng Pu think that our father and son have retreated in spite of difficulties, and relax our vigilance. Second, it can also eliminate the emperor's suspicion of us. Suspicion, when our power is weak, the emperor will naturally suppress Zeng Pu's power. When the time comes, the power in the court will be dispersed, and we will directly attack the capital."

"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that your father is a horse dealer outside the customs, so you must have a lot of good horses in your hands?"

Liu Mu guessed that the Feng family and his son were going to start fighting, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.Liu Mu smiled and said, "That's natural. Although they are not as good as the BMWs that Dawan attacked, the horses outside our pass are fat and healthy. In terms of physique and physical strength, they are better than the horses in the Central Plains." "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can go to my house to see my horse. It was just a random horse I pulled out from the stable when I ran away. I'm afraid that the strength of my feet will throw your mount two or three towns away."

Feng Langqu had an impression of Liumu's horse, and he knew at a glance that it was several levels better than the horse in the Yumajian.He asked, "How many horses does your father have in his hand?"

Liu Mu replied, "The horses in the hands of the horse merchants are all floating numbers, but at least three to five thousand horses are still available."

Feng Langqu's eyes lit up, and Liu Mu asked again, "Brother, do you want to pick some good horses?"

Feng Langqu nodded and said, "We really need some high-quality horses."

"How much?"

"Of course the more the better."

Liu Mu said, "There are plenty of good horses in the grassland outside our customs. Although my father doesn't have many horses, he can also borrow horses from other merchants in our tribe. Brother, just say the number, and leave the rest to me. That's it."

Feng Langqu said, "Twenty thousand horses."

"Twenty thousand horses? Why do you want so many horses, brother?" Liu Mu smiled secretly, Feng Langqu, you finally can't stand it anymore, it seems that the day when our Liu family will be avenged is not far away.

"Brother-in-law doesn't need to ask, just do it. And the situation is tense at this time, and business is not allowed inside and outside the customs. Brother-in-law must never let outsiders know, even Linling and Linling. You know, women are timid. The easiest way to get into trouble."

"Let's not talk about [-] horses, no matter how many horses there are, I will do my best to prepare for the elder brother. But if the elder brother doesn't take Tianqiu as his own, I will feel a little sorry."

Feng Langqu hurriedly said, "Where does my brother-in-law mean this!"

Liu Mu smiled, "Let's not talk about officials and eunuchs, even the royal family may not use so many horses for entertainment. What's more, my father-in-law has recently been in close contact with Prince Tuge from the Tarhan tribe outside the pass. A man whose power in the court has weakened Your prime minister has close contacts with an unfavorable prince outside the customs, do you think I will just take it as a coincidence?"

Feng Langqu touched the hidden weapon hidden in his cuff, "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so careful, I underestimated you, a wandering crane."

Liu Mu said, "Brother, don't get me wrong. Our prairie people have always been open and frank with our friends. I just hope that my brother can tell the truth. Don't worry, those [-] horses are on me."

"you……"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Brother and father-in-law must have already started this matter, and it is impossible to stop now. Now that I am Lin Ling's husband, if something happens to the Feng family, I am afraid that Lin Ling and I will not be alone. What's more, the war between the outside of the pass and the Central Plains is imminent, and there are many discords among the tribes outside the pass, so the chances of winning are not great. If one day the Central Plains wiped out all the tribes outside the pass, how could a prestigious horse merchant like my father end up well. You Do you think I have other options besides standing with my father-in-law?"

Feng Langqu said, "It seems that I really underestimated you. But with the help of my brother-in-law and your father, I think the chances of winning this matter will increase greatly."

Liu Mu said, "But I have one condition."

"Brother-in-law, just say it."

"In the future, after your business is completed, you must allow me to take Linling back to live outside the customs. You will not interfere with my business outside the customs with imperial power, and I will never go in and out of the court. I want you to give me a gold medal to save me from death, and freedom with the customs. A handwritten letter from Tongshang. I don’t ask for a high official and rich salary, but I only want to spend my old age with Lin Ling in peace.”

Feng Langqu thought that Yin Tianchou could see it clearly, so he smiled and said, "Sure enough, he came from a merchant family. Well, I promise you now."

"Why does Mr. Xiang always go to elder brother's place these days?" Feng Linling took advantage of Liu Mu's visit to Feng's residence, sneaked into Liu Mu's study and looked through Liu Mu's letters from outside the customs these days, and couldn't help feeling suspicious of Liu Mu's recent actions.

"Brother has come to me to discuss something these few days; a super business tycoon."

Feng Linling asked, "It's strange, you are not interested in anything in the court, so what can you two discuss?"

Liu Mu pretended to be perfunctory, "It's just drinking tea and playing chess, just for fun."

Feng Linling said again, "Just now I said that I have something to discuss, but this has become a pastime again. Could it be that my husband has something to hide from me?"

"How could it be, lady, elder brother is not an outsider, so we can hide something shameful from you."

Feng Linling said, "It's because you don't treat big brother as an outsider that I'm afraid that you will deliberately hide something from me because of him."

"My lady is really good at joking. It's getting late, so I'll go back to rest first." Liu Mu deliberately interrupted Feng Linling's conversation, seemingly evading and finding an excuse to go back to the room.

When Liu Mu returned home from Feng's residence, he saw Feng Linling sitting in the room as soon as he opened the door, "Is your lady waiting for me?"

Feng Linling didn't answer, but only asked, "Are you going to play chess with big brother again?"

"Oh, brother said that the emperor gave him some good tea as a tribute today, so don't invite me to taste it."

Feng Linling said, "If my husband and I go back outside the customs one day, will my husband miss life in the capital?"

"What is the meaning of what my lady said? I grew up carefree outside the customs since I was a child. How can I be nostalgic for the life in the capital?"

Feng Linling said, "What if one day Mr. Xiang can be promoted to a noble and can show his strength in the capital?"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Linling, I have no intention of being an official, so why would I want to join the officialdom? What happened today, why do I suddenly have to ask these questions."

Feng Linling said, "Sir, tell me what happened to the [-] horses outside the pass, and you must not hide anything."

"This..." Liu Mu pretended to be surprised, "My lady... what do you mean by that?"

Feng Linling handed the letter in her hand to Liu Mu, "I thought you were acting strange these few days. It just so happened that someone sent you a letter today. I opened the letter privately to find out what was going on. The letters in your study I I’ve seen it all too. Mr. Xiang, don’t hide it from me anymore. Tell me what happened to those [-] horses. Did your elder brother force you to do this.”

"Linling, the [-] horses were indeed entrusted to me by the elder brother, but it was not the elder brother who forced me to participate."

"Do you know what you are doing! This is treason, and it is to punish the Nine Clans! I realized early on that the ambitions of father and elder brother are far more than simple, but how can you..."

"Lin Ling, I'm not someone who covets power..."

Feng Linling interrupted the other party, "Since this is the case, why did you participate in it again. You can leave the Central Plains and stay out of it."

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. If you raise an army, there is still a possibility of success. If you stop now, you will only have a dead end. Do you think we can completely disassociate ourselves from this matter by leaving the capital? Whether you succeed or fail, you are Feng Liang daughter, on the day of success, you are a princess above ten thousand people. On the day of defeat, you are the daughter of a traitor. Such a matter is so important, it is not easy to stay out of it. Do you want me to divorce you now and go back outside the customs alone? Stay out of it? With my father's [-] horses, my father-in-law has another chance of winning, and you have a little more vitality. Linling, I have never cared about high-ranking officials and rich salary, I just want to be able to be with you Go back to the grassland to enjoy your old age. Don't worry, my father-in-law has been an official in the court for many years, so how could he easily fight a battle with no chance of winning." Liu Mu's words were serious, which was touching.

Feng Linling leaned against Liu Mu's arms, "This matter is not as simple as you think, you don't have to take such a risk for me."

Liu Mu said, "Since you are my wife, I will never allow you to be wronged in the slightest. How can I leave you alone in times of crisis."
