Chapter 8: The Wind Bell’s Whisper

                                

Huber and Zhang Junfeng waited on the road for a long time, and finally saw the military officer and his wife coming over together.

Mu Changzhou rode in front, holding a knife in his hand; Shun Yin rode behind, holding the curtain hat. The two have been separated for a long time, and at first glance they thought there was some kind of conflict.

The team is still waiting to move forward. Mu Changzhou returned to the road and reined in his horse and ordered: "The archer does not have to follow, the lady is frightened, so she will be sent back to the house to rest."

A line of archers immediately said yes.

Shunyin sat on the horse, his face was as usual, but his heart had turned over, he glanced at Mu Changzhou's figure, and secretly tightened the reins.

After saying what she was deaf just now, he turned around and returned, and didn't say anything else, and now he wants to send her home, what does it mean?

"Please go first, madam." A bow guard came to urge him.

Shunyin glanced at Mu Changzhou again, he had already rode to the front of the team, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. She pursed her lips, had to pull the reins of the horse, and turned around and returned the same way.

Seeing that she was walking away, Huber couldn't hold back his curiosity, and immediately rode his horse to Mu Changzhou: "How did the military officer appease him?" I don't think my wife is like this when she encounters spies!

Zhang Junfeng followed up and said: "I see that her expression has not changed, but she always looks at the military commander."

Mu Changzhou's horizontal knife was hung on his waist again, and he pulled the horse forward, his tone as usual: "It's okay."

It was already afternoon when Shunyin was sent back.

Probably because of Mu Changzhou's order, the group of bows and guards was airtightly guarded on the road and did not leave until they sent her into the mansion.

She walked under the corridor, still thinking about what had just happened, and when the person returned, her thoughts still lingered in the ruins of the wilderness where she spoke......

"Madam." Shengyu suddenly appeared in front of him, only one step away.

Shunyin looked up and stood still, only to find that she was holding the curtain hat too tightly in her hand, and her fingers hurt a little, so she relaxed a little and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Except for her pale face, there was nothing abnormal, Shengyu only thought that she was returning as usual, and lowered her head to report: "The governor of Liangzhou is visiting, and he is here to see his wife." After saying that, he approached and talked about it in detail.

Fortunately, it was on the right side that was closer.

Before he could finish speaking, someone quickly walked out of the hall and went straight to the corridor. Shunyin looked over and saw that he was a scribe in his forties, wearing a scarlet official robe, with a short beard and a thin face, and high spirits.

The visitor quickly walked up to and behind, looked her up and down, and said in surprise: "I heard that the lady went out, and I thought I couldn't wait today, and I didn't want the lady to return, so I was really happy to finally see her." I

just heard Shengyu say that this is Lu Yu, the governor of Liangzhou. Shunyin didn't expect that a governor would come to the house to see her in person, and bowed slightly: "Why did Inspector Lu come to see me?"

Lu Yu actually returned the salute and said with a smile: "Madam is from Chang'an, and so am I, I am an official sent from Chang'an, and I haven't had a guest in Chang'an for many years, how can I not come to see you?"

Shunyin raised his hand and invited him into the hall to speak, while asking: "How could the governor say that, isn't there a lot of Chang'an going to and from Liangzhou?"

Lu Qiao didn't care about those politenesses, shook his hand, and still stood under the corridor: "That's just a business traveler, I'm the only one stationed at the office, I'm afraid I'll be the last."

The last sentence he said very lightly, but fortunately, Shunyin was close to the right station, and when he heard it, he frowned slightly, what is the last one, the court has no longer sent officials? Suddenly remembering something, she asked: "I remember that the Duke of Wuwei is also the governor of Liangzhou, and now the governor of Lu is here, but the Duke of Wuwei has stepped down?"

Lu Yu looked at her in surprise: "Didn't the military officer tell his wife?" The Duke of Wuwei has passed away.

Shunyin was stunned: "Passed away?"

Lu Yu immediately understood: "Yes, the lady just came, how could the military division mention this." Today, I heard that my wife went out with the military division, and it is expected that the newlyweds will be in a strong relationship, and it will not be too late to talk about these family affairs in the future.

Shunyin was pulled back to reality by his words, and couldn't help but clench her hat again, how could Mu Changzhou tell her that she was dissatisfied with the result of marrying her, and now she is in such a situation......

Someone outside came to invite the assassin, Lu Yu was ready to take his leave, and said to Shunyin: "I have been waiting here for a long time today, and I have been delayed for a long time, so I can't stay for a long time, and I will talk about it in detail another day."

Shunyin nodded, signaled Shengyu to send him off, and stood silently in place for a moment before returning to the backyard room.

For a whole afternoon, Shunyin never left the room.

There was a meal and tea soup brought by the maid on the table, and she sat in the room, not eating a bite, holding a folded book in her hand, and not a single penny.

She was always in a restless mood, thinking over and over about bumping into a spy when she was traveling, and thinking about the words of the landing governor, so she simply closed her eyes, and only Mu Changzhou's sentence was left in her mind: "Your left ear is deaf."

Shunyin opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, took the cold tea soup and drank it all, it was cold to the bottom of his heart, and then he woke up a little, exhaled slowly, and stroked his left ear with one hand.

She was indeed deaf in her left ear, and only her family knew about it.

Over the years, she has lived alone in the Taoist temple, and she doesn't even know the news from the outside, and her communication is even less pitiful, occasionally communicating with outsiders, if the other party is quiet, she only needs to stand close to the right or identify the lip shape to deal with it normally. Even if she is sometimes far away or inconvenient to observe the lip shape and does not answer, others will still think that she can't get out of the old shadow of the high door, and she is still arrogant and ignores others.

She had never seen other people's mouths all the way to Liangzhou, and she tried to leave no trace when she approached to the right, but she never expected that she would encounter problems one after another when she entered Liangzhou, and in such a short time, she was discovered by Mu Changzhou.

Shunyin stroked her left ear and thought, maybe after today, she would be considered a burden and would never be able to go out again.

This is still light. Since he knows, will he say it? Do you think that this marriage was deliberately concealed by the Feng family first? What's more, he can also use this to divorce his wife openly, then it is impossible for her to gain a foothold in Liangzhou......

Married to Liangzhou desperately, how could he encounter Mu Changzhou.

The more Shunyin thought about it, the more cold she became, until a figure suddenly appeared in front of the open door, her heart suddenly tightened, but when she looked up, she found that it was Shengyu, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shengyu entered the door to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for her, and said in surprise: "It's late, and the lady hasn't moved a bite?"

Shunyin put down his hand touching his ears, calmed down slightly, and shook his head: "I'm not hungry, let's take it all."

Shengyu looked at her, but he couldn't see anything unusual, so he had to pack up and quit.

Shunyin got up and walked to the door, looking outside, it was already dark, maybe the team on business had returned.

She turned around, paced two steps unconsciously, lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her clothes, then let go, and whispered to herself: "It's okay, it's okay......"

There was a sudden crisp sound, which was the sound of the wind bell on the door being blown out.

Shunyin turned around and was caught off guard by the figure walking in.

Mu Changzhou seemed to have just returned, still wearing the blue and black brocade robe, with a tight belt around his waist, except for the horizontal knife and longbow, standing tall and leggy by the door, closing his arms and glancing at the Zhan Fengduo hanging on the door, turning his head to look at her, as if he could see through what it was for.

Shunyin had already expected such a moment, pursed her lips and stood still.

The two were only a few steps apart, but there was no word.

Mu Changzhou suddenly turned around and said outside the door: "Go and call everyone." Outside the door was Changfeng's voice, probably in response.

Mu Changzhou looked back at Shunyin again, turned his head to look at the room, walked in slowly, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down on the soft couch.

Shunyin stood not far from the door, glancing at him, as if they had switched with each other, and this became his room.

Soon there was a series of footsteps outside the door, and Changfeng reported outside the door: "Report to the military division, all the people have arrived."

Mu Changzhou nodded: "There are a few words to explain, listen carefully."

Shunyin stood dignifiedly, holding his hands lightly in his sleeves, but at this moment he was completely calm, as if waiting for the verdict to be pronounced.

Mu Changzhou put one hand on the edge of the bed, and his voice suddenly raised a lot: "Three things, first, in the future, whenever you report affairs, secret matters are near, and public affairs are raised, in the house, especially in front of the lady, you must not whisper or be restrained; second, the Central Plains respect the left and the right, and after talking to the lady, you need to stand on the right side and let the lady sit on the left; Third, if you report to the lady in an emergency, report it to me, and I will tell the lady.

Everyone claimed it was.

Shunyin was startled, and couldn't help but turn to look at him, what was he talking about?

Mu Changzhou waved his hand outward and looked at her.

Everyone had retreated, leaving only them standing and sitting in this square inch of world and looking at each other.

Shunyin even wondered if she had thought too much all afternoon and had auditory hallucinations......

Until Mu Changzhou moved his legs, relaxed his sitting posture, looked at her and said, "Does Yin Niang ask?" I left without asking. After saying that, he got up and walked to the door.

was about to pass by the wrong side, but Shunyin finally took a step and stood in front of him: "Why did Brother Mu help me?"

Mu Changzhou stopped and looked down at her: "I know this secret in Yiniang's ears, and I also see that you can deal with it freely, I won't ask half a word, I will only strictly abide by it, but Yinniang will be by my side from now on, and you should cooperate with me in everything."

Shunyin retrospected, he was talking about the day, but not just about the day.

She had thought about the two spies before, plus the words of Inspector Lu, and she had already understood to some extent, I am afraid that it was the reason why the saint ordered Feng Wuji to watch the border defense - there were no more officials sent in the court, and even if they sent spies, they could not come in, so the news of Liangzhou was naturally easy to cut off.

He wanted her to pretend not to know about similar things in the future, and listen to him about everything.

Shunyin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked lightly: "Brother Mu is threatening me?"

Mu Changzhou's eyes fell on her raised face, in her eyes she had white skin and a beautiful neck, jade soft flowers, but the tips of her eyes were like a hidden golden wind, but she looked even more glamorous. His gaze stayed for a moment before he said, "Yin Niang doesn't agree to call it a threat, I'm discussing it with you." The tone was gentle and elegant.

Shunyin looked at him, his heart tightened inexplicably, his eyes were born deep, when he was young, he only felt that these eyes were smooth and gentle, but now his eyes were open, and when he stared over, only majestic oppression remained.

She suddenly realized that he was not just a simple change, and such a look was no longer the Mu Changzhou of the past.

Before she could speak, Mu Changzhou smiled at her gaze, lowered his head deliberately, approached her right ear and said, "It seems that it has been discussed."

Shunyin suddenly felt that the coercion in front of her was loosened, he had already gone out by himself, and there was a crisp sound of "bell", she subconsciously stroked her right ear and turned her head to look, leaving only the Zhan Fengduo on the door still shaking after being wiped by his arm guards.
