Xiao Mubai's words seemed untenable to Xia Chu. If Xiao's city was really recovered by the Mongols, even if it did not belong to Wugetai's real power for the time being, it would eventually belong to the grassland.
What's more, in his previous life, Wu Getai would eventually become the Khan of the Mongolian people.
But Xia Chu forgot that becoming a khan also required walking on a devastated road. The blood and thorns on that road were no less than those in other countries.
But this time Wugetai and Xiao Mubai joined forces and took the opportunity to get rid of Bayar, which was his biggest gain. What silenced Wugetai was not what Xiao Mubai said on the surface, but what he meant behind the words.
The small space was filled with eerie silence.
There was only the slight, mechanical sound of the golden bells on the carriage, and the lights cast heavy shadows on them.
Wu Getai took out the wine bag and drank a large gulp. After his slightly heavy breath returned to calmness, he spoke to Xiao Mubai: "You and I are both heirs of the emperor, so you should understand my difficulties."
"It's precisely because I understand that I understand more and more." A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Mubai's eyes.
He knew the situation of Wugetai, and his voice among the Mongols was so high that Bayar colluded with Li Fei to keep his life in a foreign country.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
The Mongols have always believed in the law of the jungle, which is understandable. However, Bayar's move was too narrow-minded, and Wugetai's counterattack was also disgraceful.
"How sincere are you to Mu Hong?" Xiao Mubai looked at him intently.
Under his sharp and direct gaze, Wu Getai did not lower his head, but said frankly: "Four points."
Xia Chu lowered his eyes and sighed. At this time, if someone else didn't say ten points, they would at least say eight points. He was honest.
Four points of sincerity is a lot for an emperor. There are many women in the Xiao Kingdom's harem who have never even seen the emperor's face in their entire lives.
"But as her brother, I don't need the person who marries her to be rich and powerful. I just want that person to treat her wholeheartedly and be together for the rest of their lives."
Wu Getai's usually calm face, even just now, was only slightly solemn, but now he was really shocked by his words: "Your Highness King Mo, although I am not completely sincere, I am also sincere. What you said is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for others. Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. If it were me who made this request today, what would your answer be?"
Xiao Mubai rested his forehead with his right hand, his eyes fell on Xia Chu, and he said in a calm tone: "Without her opening her mouth, I and everything in the world will run towards her."
The night breeze of late spring is gradually getting warmer, secretly stirring up a few feelings.
A fire started in Xia Chu's heart, and the flames swallowed up everything in an instant, leaving only Xiao Mubai's elegant sitting posture, monopolizing all his thoughts.
"Little Marquis, why are you blushing?" Wu Getai was shocked and saw that Xia Chu's cheeks were burning to the base of his ears.
Xia Chu coughed a few times and then pointed to the wine bag he had just drank: "The kumiss on the grassland has really strong staying power..."
Xiao Mubai chuckled lightly, and Wu Getai looked at Xia Chu suspiciously. It took him an hour to look up. Do you think he is a fool
Wu Getai pursed his lips, ignored Xia Chu's inexplicable wandering eyes, and tried to seek his resonance: "Little Marquis, let me comment. His Highness King Mo's words sound good, but they are also unrealistic."
"How is it unrealistic?" Xia Chu asked back, hearing Wu Getai hissing, and then continued: "What he and I think coincide with each other."
Wu Getai pointed at the two of them, his body slightly stiffened: "You two are also princes and nobles after all. In the future, let alone three thousand beauties, you will have three wives and four concubines. How can you be tied to one person with your whole body and mind?" "
Xiao Mubai straightened his sleeves, obviously intending to say goodbye: "Fifth Prince, although you and I are both emperor's heirs, we have chosen completely different paths. Your shoulders should bear the responsibility of Grass Chief Yingfei and Qingfeng Mingyue, and I The king only hopes that Mu Hong’s eyes can accommodate the stars, the sea, and the endless light.”
Xia Chu added at the right time: "The moon is hollow, it's time for the soldiers to set up camp and repair."
Xiao Mubai took advantage of the situation and said, "The king and Ah Chu will leave first."
Before Wu Getai could add a sentence, the two men blocked his words by singing along.
Xiao Mubai took the lead to step out of the carriage and gracefully stretched out his hand to help Xia Chu. Wu Getai opened the curtain and only saw the backs of the two of them walking side by side: "His Royal Highness King Mo, even if what you said is In fact, it also requires two people to be happy in order to be happy, so why not ask the Ninth Princess if she is willing."
Xiao Mubai paused for a moment, but did not reply for a long time. However, Xia Chu saw that he was silent for a moment, then turned to Wugetai and replied: "The fifth prince's sincerity will be conveyed on his behalf, and we will also treat him as Mu Bai." Hong’s thoughts come first.”
Wu Getai breathed a sigh of relief and bowed gratefully to Xia Chu through the car window.
On the other hand, Xiao Mubai's slightly displeased gaze fell on Xia Chu, silently expressing his dissatisfaction.
While pulling him back, Xia Chu said sincerely: "I know you feel sorry for Honghong, but no matter what, her life is left to her to make her own decisions. Even if you choose someone who treats her wholeheartedly, If she’s not happy, she won’t be happy for the rest of her life.”
What impressed Xia Chu in Wugetai was the sentence, "Only when two people are happy can their love be complete."
That night, dark clouds covered the moon and the sky was dark.
A person who had been treating him wholeheartedly disappeared from this world, and he was immersed in pain for a long time after that.
Yuefeng gave him full love. If he stayed because of this, maybe the ending would be completely different.
Tonight, the full moon is full and the stars are pouring down.
Xia Chu looked up at the vast night sky, endless sadness spreading in his words.
His self-blame for the past few days was slightly soothed by Wu Getai's words. Love goes in both directions. He could not stay under the burden of accepting other people's love. Naturally, he did not want Xiao Muhong to be forced to accept Xiao Mubai's arrangement. .
Recalling the night when Wu Getai and Xiao Mubai were talking in the front hall of the palace, Xiao Muhong said to him in the backyard: "Look at me in this deep palace looking at the fine clothes and fine food, but I don't have any freedom at all. I don't know what I will do in the future." The son of a high-ranking official was pointed out by his father."
Xia Chu looked at her with her eyes lowered in silence, a gleam of worry and helplessness flashing under her eyelashes, and he had secretly determined to give her a chance to choose arbitrarily in the future no matter what.
Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu's profile profile in the moonlight, and her eyes looking at the full moon were faintly reflecting the waves, like bright stars falling.
While his mind was relaxed, he stretched out his hand to rub the faint fragrance that he smelled at the tip of his nose. The gentle voice that had been talking to him suddenly became a little indifferent: "Why do you have the Wanyue Order on you?"
