Chapter 210 The Regent's Love Song
Therefore, in order to prevent him from becoming suspicious, more people must be involved, and these people cannot be those who can be bribed at any time.
You have to know that Tian Jinfeng was able to fight ten cities in a row without being defeated, not by relying on brute force alone. If he didn't have a strategic mind, how could he have become the General of Cavalry?
So, I thought of mobilizing all the civil and military officials in the court. That way, even if Tian Jinfeng racked his brains, he would never guess that the reason so many civil and military officials, as well as the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, went hunting was actually because of him." Mu Xingci said slowly.
Yun Wansheng listened to him carefully. She was grateful and admired his meticulous planning.
"Thank you for helping me." Regardless of whether his plan could succeed or not, he had already tried his best to help himself, and he was destined to owe him this favor.
Mu Xingci looked at her gently and asked, "Is it just a verbal thank you?" His tone was frivolous.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng gave him a cold look and said, "If you don't accept it, just pretend I didn't say anything. I didn't ask you to help me." This bastard couldn't even be treated well.
Mu Xingci laughed a few times and suddenly said, "Wan Sheng, can I sing a song for you?" The man looked at her with affectionate eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng stared at him in astonishment: "You can sing?"
"What you said is true. After all, I am a man of both civil and military talents. I can sing the song. Do you want to listen to it?"
"No! I can't stand your regent's songs. I know that those who show kindness for no reason are either treacherous or thieves."
Seeing her being so defensive towards him, Mu Xingci couldn't help but laugh out loud. He clamped the woman's pointed chin with his fingers and moved closer to her: "Others may look down on me, but you are different.
You sang songs to cheer me up before, this time it’s my turn to sing for you, just consider it as my way of cheering you up.”
His frivolous behavior made the woman's heart skip a beat. She raised her hand and slapped his hand away: "I don't need you to coax me, and I don't want to listen to the music."
It wasn't that he couldn't sing any songs, but she was afraid that the songs he sang would be about love and affection, and she was afraid that she would no longer be able to be hard-hearted towards him.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's evasive eyes with deep eyes, and curled the corners of his lips: "What a pity, I heard this song from a woman. That woman is not only beautiful, but also talented, gentle and considerate, even better than you. You really don't want to listen?"
Yun Wansheng's eyes lit up with surprise when she heard this. "It's rare to see a woman being praised by you. I think you've fallen in love with her. The tone of your voice and the doting look in your eyes show that she already holds a very important place in your heart."
"Uh! Was my behavior so obvious?" Mu Xingci touched his face in a panic, as if someone had exposed his affair.
His reaction made Yun Wansheng guess that he was guilty. She knew that men here could not be trusted. Look! He was asking her to marry him one moment, and the next moment he couldn't help but compare other women with her.
His blatant show-off was simply to tell her that if she didn't agree to marry him, he would have better women to choose from.
"Regent, since you already have another woman, please don't bother me anymore." Yun Wansheng's voice was unusually cold.
"Ah! You've already discovered this. Yes, she does attract me. This is something I've never felt before. Especially since her music style is my favorite. Whenever I think of her, I can't help but want to meet her."
"Since you can't let her go, why don't you marry her? Why are you still showing affection to me?" Yun Wansheng moved her body with a slightly cold expression, trying to stay away from this rotten man.
"Wan Sheng, why do you look a little angry to me? Are you jealous?" There was a playful flash in Mu Xingci's eyes.
"Only a ghost would be jealous of you."
"Since you're not jealous, why are you afraid of me singing? Do you want to hear who's better between the two of you?"
Yun Wansheng lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the unrefined man with a seemingly nonchalant expression: "Alright, this is a good opportunity for me to hear how talented this noble lady from the capital is, and why she has made you so obsessed with her."
"I won't let you down. Let me sing." Mu Xingci smiled happily.
"Just sing." Yun Wansheng ignored his annoying smile.
Mu Xingci cleared his throat and then began to sing the song he had heard from the woman.
As the man began to sing, the woman who was feeling very depressed beside him was stunned. She had not intended to look at his arrogance, but the man's singing made her look at him involuntarily.
Because the song this bastard was singing was not another woman's song, but the song she had sung for her lover!
This song sounded sweet when sung by a woman, but it had a different flavor when sung by this man. His deep voice sang with a deep feeling, and the rhythm he controlled was also very brisk, even more charming than his own singing.
After the man finished singing, he looked at the woman who was still in shock with a smile in his eyes: "How is it? Is that woman's talent better than yours?" He asked with a smile, touching her cheek with his fingers and pinching it gently.
Yun Wansheng came back to her senses and blinked her bright eyes: "You...you, how do you know this song?"
As she asked, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up. This bastard is really getting better and better at coaxing people.
She remembered that she had only sung it to him once, but she didn't expect that he could still remember it so clearly. This made her very suspicious. Was there another time-traveling girl by his side?
"Of course I learned it by listening to you sing. What? Have you forgotten?" Mu Xingci said with a slight smile on his lips.
"How is this possible? It's been several years, who would remember it so clearly?"
"Me! Didn't you hear it yourself?"
Yun Wansheng was speechless for a moment after hearing what he said. This bastard is really too smart!
Seeing that she was still looking at him in disbelief, Mu Xingci smiled gently, "Wansheng, do you know why I memorized this song?"
Yun Wansheng shook her head subconsciously, and Mu Xingci held her hand: "Ever since you sang this song to me, at first I just thought the style of the song was very interesting, and I unconsciously memorized its lyrics and music in my heart.
After you left, I would hum a few lines in private when I had nothing to do. Especially during the war, the march was very hard.
In order to boost the morale of the soldiers, I humbled myself and sang this song for them, trying my best to get along with them and let them remember who was waiting for them at home.
Because I found that this song is not sentimental, but it can inspire the boundless imagination of those rough and tumble soldiers, making them more energetic when fighting, and they even hum it unconsciously while marching.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but imagine the scene of him, a great general, standing in front of all the soldiers and singing this song. This thought made her admire his character of being able to take on and let go.
