"I have had some friendship with your grandfather." Zhu Wei's old eyes were filled with regret and melancholy, "At that time, no one expected that the Rong family would suddenly suffer a disaster."

Yuan Qiu came to see Zhu Wei, but he didn't expect that he mentioned the Rong family, "My mother told me that she still remembers that Grandpa Zhu likes to drink black tea, a specialty of Western Liao Kingdom. Every time his grandfather went to war, he would secretly bring a bag of tea to the enemy's chief general."

Zhu Wei smiled bitterly, "Yes, we are enemies, how can we be friends? But it's not the one we want to be enemies with each other. In this world, fighting, fighting, and making trouble, endlessly. When I learned that something happened to the Rong family, the emperor succeeded to the throne and wanted to change a new general, I asked my family to take my family to leave the dangerous but many opportunities to make contributions. When I came to the south, it has been more than 20 years. I originally returned to the capital, but I was even more comfortable and wealthy, but I was also afraid that if one day, the Zhu family left the old path of the Rong family, alas!"

Zhu Wei seemed to be feeling for a moment, and without waiting for Yuan Qiu to say anything, he said again, "You little girl, you call me grandpa!"

Yuan Qiu quickly apologized, "It's hard to get in front of others, especially when I'm young, I can't convince everyone. If I asked Grandpa Zhu to support me from the beginning, it would have damaged Grandpa Zhu's majesty."

"I want to support you, have you ever given a chance?" Zhu Wei glared at Yuan Qiu, "I'm just going to be medical skills, archery skills, and I'm going to catch the Prince of Nanzhao. I'm so shocked by your ability!"

The originally majestic veteran suddenly became funny and cute. Yuan Qiu smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't blame me. I'm also driving the ducks on the shelves and accepting the order temporarily. I should save people and defend the city, and of course I have to catch people."

"I really don't know how you grew up like this?" Zhu Wei shook his head.

"Of course it's because my mother is beautiful, and I look like her." Yuan Qiu was serious.

Zhu Wei laughed, "It makes sense!"

Zhu Wei liked Yuan Qiu the more he looked at him. He just wished he was his granddaughter, but he was about to wake up from laughter in his dreams.

Zhu Wei said that he had handed a note to the capital at the beginning of the year and wanted to retreat, so he took his children and grandchildren back to the capital. He was old, his son broke his arm, and his grandson refused to join the army, so the Zhu family had no successor.

But Zhu Wei never forced Zhu Jinnian to pass by. He was full of ambitions when he was young, but as he grew older, he saw too many power struggles, only asking for peace for his children and grandchildren, but he thought it was a good thing for his grandchildren not to join the army.

After all, throughout the ages, it is easier for military generals to gain power and die even more easily.

"I haven't heard from my father. I think the emperor has not made a decision yet. After all, Grandpa Zhu is very important to the peace of the south, and I can't find a suitable candidate to take over this position for the time being." Yuan Qiu said, "But now that I have captured Su Zhi, there is no need to worry about Nanzhao anymore. Grandpa Zhu was seriously injured again. I think the emperor should let you go back to Jing'an to enjoy your old age."

Yuan Qiu once saw the mansion of General Zhu in the capital from afar, and the doors were closed all year round. In addition to Zhu Han, Zhu Wei also had a daughter who married the second master of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, who was Ming Yating's aunt. On the day Ming Yating got married, Yuan Qiu met Zhu, the second wife of the Ming family in the Prince's Mansion. He followed the eldest wife of the Ming family, looking low-key and humble.

"I hope so. It doesn't matter where I am, my old bone. As long as I can watch Jinnian become a child, there will be no regrets in this life." Zhu Wei sighed lightly.

"Grandpa." Zhu Jinnian entered the door with a pot of flowers in his arms. When he saw Yuan Qiu, he was stunned for a moment, "General Mu Xiao."

Yuan Qiu's smile faded a little, "Young Master Zhu, it's fine if your father calls me General Mu, don't call him with him."

"You are indeed younger than me." Zhu Jinnian was a little embarrassed.

"No need to call me Mu Yuanqiu." Yuanqiu stood up after speaking, "I wish Grandpa a good rest, I'll go back first."

"Hey, go, you can rest well, and you will have to hurry up tomorrow." Zhu Wei waved his hand. Seeing Yuan Qiu and subdued Nanzhao, Zhu Wei was also happy when he was in a happy event and his complexion was improving.

Zhu Jinnian put the flowers on the windowsill, sat down beside Zhu Wei's bed, took his pulse, and said seriously, "Grandpa, I want to go to the capital."

Zhu Jinnian was born in Nanfeng City. Although he knew that the Zhu family was originally in the capital, he only went to visit his aunt several times and did not stay for a long time.

"Didn't you like the capital? You said that people there would turn a few turns and their intrigue skills were better than the other. They would be respectful wherever they went and obey the rules everywhere." Zhu Wei joked about his grandson.

This is what Zhu Jinnian thought after returning from his first trip to the capital at the age of eight.

"Now, those are nothing." Zhu Jinnian shook his head. "This time I met Mu Yuanqiu, I realized that I had really watched the sky by looking at the well. I still wanted to be a doctor, but I didn't have enough skills, so I thought of going to the capital and studying at Doctor Liu as my teacher."

Zhu Wei looked at Zhu Jinnian, but fell silent.

"Grandpa, why are you looking at me like this?" Zhu Jinnian frowned slightly. "I heard it just now. Mu Yuanqiu said that the emperor would definitely allow Zhu's family to return to Beijing, but he just needs to wait. I'll go back first and wait for grandpa."

"Are you doing medical skills or the little girl from the Mu family?" Zhu Wei hummed lightly.

The panic flashed in Zhu Jinnian's eyes did not escape Zhu Wei's eyes, but he still said, "Grandpa, I admit that I admire Mu Yuanqiu very much, but my sincerity towards medical skills has never changed. In Nanfeng City, if I don't have a good master, it will be difficult for me to improve my medical skills."

"Jinnian, there will always be some treasures in your life that you will see, but they will not belong to you in the end. Grandpa believes in your pursuit of medical skills, but he also advises you that others should not be forced. She and Su Mo are husband and wife, and you need to stay away from them. You have a crush on someone and may not be able to control it, but an upright person must learn to restrain his words and deeds and not do evil things. Do you understand?" Zhu Wei looked serious.

At Zhu Wei's age, how could he not see the close relationship between Yuan Qiu and Su Mo? He didn't think Rong Lan's daughter would be obsessed with Su Mo's beauty, and after meeting Yuan Qiu, he felt so even more.

Zhu Wei did not ask Yuan Qiu about her relationship with Su Mo, nor did he ask how Su Zhi was arrested. But Zhu Wei knew very well that the prince of Nanzhao could not be easily captured.

However, Zhu Wei suspected that Yuan Qiu and Su Mo were fake couples, but he thought they were really compatible. Although Su Mo was like Yuan Qiu's shadow these days, Zhu Wei knew that this Nanzhao prince with a tortuous life experience was by no means a simple person. What Yuan Qiu showed was not all her abilities.

As for Zhu Wei's own grandson, he looked good no matter how he looked, but he had to admit that Zhu Jinnian was not worthy of Yuan Qiu, whether it was strength or character.

Zhu Jinnian smiled bitterly, "I can't hide anything from my grandfather. I understand everything my grandfather said, and I didn't want to do anything. She let me see the serious shortcomings in myself. I can't be a general like my father expected, but I hope I can become a doctor who makes my grandfather and father proud."

"Okay." Zhu Wei nodded, "Grandpa certainly believes in you, but you don't have to hurry up and wait patiently. Maybe it won't take long before we can go back to Beijing together. At that time, grandpa will take you to find Liu Zhong to become a disciple."

Zhu Jinnian agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa."

In fact, Zhu Jinnian originally planned to return to the capital with Yuan Qiu and Su Mo tomorrow, but after hearing Zhu Wei's words, he felt a little regretful, but he agreed. The more he couldn't help but want to get closer, the more he wanted to stay away from him to avoid making mistakes.

That night, Zhu Han held a banquet at the city lord's mansion. He originally wanted to practice it for Yuan Qiu, but Yuan Qiu said there was no need to mobilize troops. He suggested changing it to a celebration banquet for the entire army in Nanfeng City to reward the heroes who guarded the city.

This made Zhu Han even more admire Yuan Qiu. The war was over. In fact, Yuan Qiu was the one who made the most contribution, but she didn't care about fame and prestige at all.

The Nanfeng City is celebrating the achievements and is full of joy.

In the city of Zhenbei, there is a bleak cloud.

The generals in the chamber sat for a long time, and only occasionally could hear a sigh, and no one spoke.

Because at the moment, nothing seems meaningless to say.

I thought that Nanzhao finally got rid of the suppression of the Dongming Dynasty and could truly be independent and compete with the Dongming Dynasty and the Western Liao Dynasty, but in the end it became a joke.

The one with the ugly expression on his face is Miao Qin.

He is the uncle of the prince Su Zhi. If Su Zhi is abolished, the prince's faction, especially the Miao family, will have no way to survive.

"Report!"

The voice at the door raised the hearts of the generals of Nanzhao. What's wrong? Could it be that the Dongming Kingdom relied on the capture of the Prince of Nanzhao and dared to attack Zhenbeicheng with only the small amount of troops?

The messenger brought not the movements of Nanfeng City, but also important news about the Dongming Kingdom.

"Rong Lan and Mu Zhenxuan's apprentice Gu Feng secretly arrived at Yuzhou City. That night, Gu Feng led his army, and Rong Lan assisted from the side to break through the Liangzhou City of Western Liao! Yin Shen and Yin He, the father and son of Western Liao were defeated, abandoned Liangzhou and the two cities of Western Yue, and retreated to the back of Yunlian Mountain!"

This news is simply a worse injury to the generals of Nanzhao, and another blow will happen!

At first glance, I wondered if it was the Western Liao Dynasty's strategy to lure the enemy? Isn't it as powerful as the Dongming? Why is it so vulnerable?

But the cities lost by the Western Liao Dynasty were not fake. The messenger continued to say that Liangzhou City and Xiyue City had been razed to the ground by the Dongming army.

Miao Qin could guess what was going on. The people of Western Liao used to form an alliance with Nanzhao, intending to provoke the war in Nanzhao in the East Ming Dynasty, and then reap the profits. They thought they were in control of the overall situation, but they took it lightly and were rebelled by the Dongming generals.

Just like Nanzhao. Originally, Zhenbeicheng's troops were more than three times that of Nanfengcheng, but now they have been restrained and dare not act rashly anymore.

"The Dongming Kingdom is really full of talents. Rong Lan and Mu Zhenxuan are in the northwest, and their daughter is in the south. It is also a daughter who was found from the countryside half a year ago. It's really..." A veteran general in Nanzhao didn't know how to describe the gap between Mu Yuanqiu he saw and Mu Yuanqiu in the rumor.

Miao Qin doesn't like to listen to these words, "What? Do you think Nanzhao is all waste? Or do you want to say that this will be waste?"

The veteran lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore, but he was really dissatisfied with Miao Qin. Many years ago, in order to obtain military power, the Miao family did something similar to the Yin family in the Western Liao Dynasty and framed the original good generals of the Nanzhao Kingdom, so that they could stand out.

But although many people know that, they never dare to say it.

"The most urgent task is to find a way to save the prince!" Miao Qin's face was gloomy, "As long as the prince is not in the hands of the Dongming Kingdom, Nanzhao will not be so passive."

But to save people, you have to act in secret. You cannot use these people who fight soldiers and fight wars to find real masters.

After the meeting ended, Miao Qin ordered his confidant to contact Qingminglou. Although Qingminglou is engaged in a murderous business, as long as you can afford a high enough price, you can naturally do business if you save someone.

"Master, in the past two or three years, Qingming Tower seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and it is probably difficult to find it." Miao Qin's subordinate said.

Miao Qin frowned. He originally recruited many experts with a lot of money, but the most powerful ones were arranged to protect Su Zhi. Unexpectedly, Su Zhi fell into Mu Yuanqiu's hands like that, and the masters he hired were probably in danger.

At this moment, a noise came from outside. After a moment, a swordsman in red clothes pushed the door open and entered.

He has a tall and sturdy figure, deep and three-dimensional facial features, and his phoenix eyes have a smile that seems to be there and there, and he is very romantic and elegant.

"My Young Master Xie." Miao Qin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xie Yin was very famous in Nanzhao. Although he did not become an imperial physician, he often went to and from the palace. As his grandson, Xie Jingci was also a stolen figure in Nanzhao's capital. His biggest feature was that he was a playboy.

But Miao Qin knew that although Xie Jingci did not learn medicine, he was a real master and his swordsmanship was very powerful.

At this moment, Xie Jingci suddenly appeared here, what does it mean...

"General Miao, long time no see." Xie Jingci lost weight, but his previous injuries were not hindered. He sat opposite Miao Qin without hesitation and slapped his sword on the table.

"Did Mr. Xie come to Zhenbeicheng to pick flowers?" Miao Qin snorted lightly. He knew that Xie Jingci was very good at martial arts because Xie Jingci and his son had fought with him to steal a brothel courtesan. Those so-called masters raised by the Miao family met Xie Jingci and were beaten to the point of being embarrassed.

"What flowers are there in this broken place? There is only mud that cannot be supported on the wall." Xie Jingci smiled evilly.

Miao Qin instantly took the seat, thinking that Xie Jingci was mocking him, and his face suddenly looked ugly, "Mr. Xie, for your grandfather's sake, I will not care about you. This is not a place for you to play! Leave quickly!"

"Is that right? I was indeed passing by here. During the day, I happened to enjoy a good show. I felt very sympathetic to General Miao and the Prince. I was nailed to the coffin by nails, and I felt it hurt when I looked at it." Xie Jingci said with a smile.

"What's the point of doing?" Miao Qin lost his patience and said coldly.

"I thought General Miao needed help at this moment, so I specially asked him to recommend himself." Xie Jingci suddenly became serious.

Miao Qin's eyes flashed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"General Miao, it's really boring if you pretend to be stupid now." Xie Jingci shook his head, "Xie never likes to beat around the bush. Tell me straight, I can help you save the prince."

Miao Qin stared at him, "What are your conditions?"

"What conditions are you talking about? It hurts so much!" Xie Jingci's lips curled slightly, "No matter what, I am from Nanzhao and I am also a fellow villager. Moreover, I really want to kill Su Mo. Seeing him live a happy and joyful life is really annoying!"

Miao Qin was stunned for a moment, "Su Mo? Did he offend you?"

Xie Jingci sneered, "It's not just offending me? You know my sister, I don't know what's wrong. I met Su Mo many years ago and wanted to go with him. A few days ago, I ran from Nanzhao to Dongming. I chased me, thinking that if Su Mo knew each other and was willing to be my brother-in-law, it would be impossible. Who knew that beautiful guy dared to reject my sister, which made my sister sad and didn't know where to go. Even if I came back to find her, there was no news along the way! I was so angry that I was so angry!"

Xie Jingyu was originally a doctor from the Nanzhao royal family. She had disappeared for a long time on the excuse of collecting herbs. Miao Qin knew about this, but she didn't know that it had anything to do with Su Mo.

"Isn't Su Mo just relying on his good face to warm the bed for the girl in the Mu family, and he is proud of his youth!" Xie Jingci looked at Su Mo's extremely dislike.
