Volume 1: The World of Dreams Chapter 27: The Craziest Man
The first reaction of people who have heard of the name of the eldest princess is: this is a crazy woman.
But in fact, in this turbulent and ruthless world, she is far from the only one who is crazy.
Chen Mu returned home, but before he got home, a carriage stopped in front of him. An old man who claimed to be Gonggong Hou announced that he had entered the palace to face the saint.
Chen Mu was deeply stunned, he didn't know how he could be noticed by the emperor, guessing that it was because of the eldest princess's private opinion. At the same time, he was also surprised by the methods of the one in the palace, he went out secretly this morning, but Grandpa Hou was able to intercept him halfway, this intelligence ability is really extraordinary.
The emperor likes to summon others in his study, and Chen Mu is no exception. Hou Gonggong said Teng Zijin and consciously withdrew, Chen Mu took a step forward, and the emperor who was writing at the desk raised his head, and his unfathomable gaze was as sharp as an eagle and a snake.
"Are you Chen Mu?"
Chen Mu was startled, and his body that was about to salute froze in place: How did the other party guess it? This is too incredible.
"Teng Zijin, the scribe of the Supervision Yuan, see the emperor. β
"I said you are Chen Mu, you are Chen Mu. β
"The name is given to the ancestors, and they dare not change it. β
"Hehe, sit down first, don't be nervous. I call you today because I want your help. β
"I can serve the emperor, and I will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths. β
The emperor put down the brush and sat upright, and asked, "Do you know the temple?"
Chen Mu remained silent and said respectfully: "The national worship temples are all temples. β
"It seems that you don't know, the temple I am talking about is located in the far north, and there are countless miracles buried beyond the imagination of mortals. β
"Wechen is foolish, but I have not heard of it. β
"Just listen to me. β
"No"
"In recent years, I have found that there are people in the temple who have been mixed with the government and the opposition, and these people who have the plague and are infected will have a rebellious heart. A rebellion many years ago, because of this. And now, this group of people is ready to make trouble again.
Alas! When I think that the country will be in turmoil, and the people are in dire straits, the widow's heart aches! Presumably, you already know about the matter of the Lord Chen, and the murderer of this matter is the temple forces, and they will not give up if they do not die in this world. I am not at ease if I don't eradicate them.
This morning, I saw the official Yin of the capital and asked him to return to his hometown, and on the way I will send troops to pretend to be robbers to get rid of him, because he has been infiltrated by the temple forces. Today, I have secretly eliminated more than 190 people, also because they have been brainwashed by the temple.
It's a pity that no matter how I get rid of it, the temple power still exists, and even the people around me are not immune. The source of the plague continues, and the infected will not be cut off. β
The emperor said it heartbreakingly, and Chen Mu roughly understood that what the other party said was about the traverser.
Weichen was frightened, and he was willing to contribute to the emperor, and asked the emperor to give instructions. β
"Very good, I found out that these people are looking for a person named Chen Mu to be the leader. Today, I will give you the name of Chen Mu, the official of the court, and by the way, I will find you two family affairs. β
Chen Mu was stunned, and was about to refuse the last item, when the emperor had already spoken: "I know that this matter will put you in danger, but don't worry, I will send someone to protect you at all times." I also know that you have a family, so you are given the marriage of a flat wife. The woman's status is not too low, it can be regarded as compensation for you, how about it?"
"Everything is up to the emperor. β
Chen Mu replied without hesitation, because he knew that this was the emperor's plan, and he also knew that he could not change the emperor's decision. It just so happens that it is also in his interest to disclose his identity, and the person he wants to find will find it himself.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu left the palace. In the study, Liu Guiren walked out of the bookshelf.
"Your Majesty, how can you be sure that he is Chen Mu?"
"What? Don't you look like it?"
"I don't know him very well, he was a roommate of a friend of mine in my previous life. β
"I'm not sure, it's just that this letter says it too clearly, including the three hundred traversers you said. β
Saying that, the emperor did not hide it privately, and handed the new paper on the table to Liu Guiren.
In the afternoon of the same day, a decree in the palace detonated the public opinion of the whole city and became a bigger topic after the incident of the county lord's mansion.
The general content is: Teng Zijin of the Supervision Yuan, formerly known as Chen Mu, is actually a god from the temple. When the imperial study saw it, his all-knowing talent impressed the emperor, and the emperor was very excited, and directly promoted him to the cabinet minister, made national policy inquiries, and gave two marriages in a row.
The backgrounds of these two women are not simple, one is Fan Xiaomei, the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, and the other is Li Jiarou, the royal county lord.
In the evening, in the depths of the Supervision Yuan, an elders' mission was underway.
There were only two people in the dimly lit secret room, and Fan Xian was furious when he heard the news, and at the same time, he also affirmed one thing: Teng Zijin must be a time-traveler, and he also took away his protagonist's aura.
first his fiancΓ©e, and then his childhood sweetheart Fan Xiaomei, and now even the county lord who loves him has been murdered. If he doesn't act, I'm afraid all the women he could have will be snatched away.
"Why, haven't you calmed down yet?"
After a long time, Chen Liping said with a smile: "If you are worried about your sister, then you don't have to, Chen Mu will not live until the marriage is settled." β
Fan Xian was taken aback: "How can the emperor appreciate him so much?"
"If you can calm down, you will be able to see it. β
Fan Xian pondered, and immediately raised his head again and said, "Your Majesty is using him as bait." β
"Yes, the emperor's mind has always been unpredictable, but I know this matter very well. He could not tolerate any threat to him, especially the people of the temple. Now, your chance has come, and he told me to kill the wrong person rather than let go of any suspicious person in the temple, and I will leave this matter to you.
Eradicating the temple people is to solve the emperor's confidants. When the time comes, he will reward you, and the Supervision Yuan will eventually be yours, and if you take control of the inner treasury, the possibility of you controlling this country will increase by a few points. β
Fan Xian was shocked, how could the other party dare to say it so clearly if he was so heart-wrenching?
"Hehe, you seem surprised. It doesn't have to be this way, this country was built by your mother, she is gone, and it should be left to you to manage. As for the thief who deceived the world, sooner or later he will be cut by a thousand knives. β
Speaking of this, Chen Liping's eyes shot fiercely. Fan Xian didn't dare to refute in his heart, so he had to bow his head and pretend not to hear.
What Chen Mu didn't know was that before he entered the palace, the emperor's edict had already been transmitted. So much so that he left the palace, and the news had already flown all over the city.
From the moment he left the palace, Chen Mu noticed that a large number of people were secretly following. He knew that this was a protector sent by the emperor, and he was also an overseer. Even when he was close to Jiupin, he felt the pressure.
Passing through Niulan Street, a horse-drawn carriage came towards each other. At first, no one cared, including Chen Mu in the car. There was nothing unusual about the coachmen on both sides, and they flicked their respective whips.
Bang β
The two carriages drove to the same line, and there was a muffled sound, and the carriage where Chen Mu was was exploded.
Almost no one saw that it was a heavy arrow that flew into the royal carriage. No one knew that Chen Mu reacted at the last moment, and the two internal forces were handed over, and the wooden carriage was torn apart.
"Catch the assassins. β
Someone in the dark roared, and a group of figures flashed, and Chen Mu had already taken the first step to kill, casually picking up the scattered wheels and slamming them down.
There was another collision, and another carriage also exploded, and a majestic figure jumped to the ground.
"It's worthy of being a second-level dream interpreter, and he really has some ability. β
"Commander Yan"
Identifying the murderer, everyone was shocked. And just as they were stunned for a moment, arrows struck from all directions.
"My target is Chen Mu, if you don't want to die, get out. β
"Commander Yan, Lord Chen is a national teacher given by the emperor, and you can't rebel if you want to. β
Another rich shout came, Chen Mu looked at it and recognized it as the emperor's personal guard palace point.
Yan Xiaoyi didn't answer, and put a longbow in his hand to show his attitude.
Miyadian was shocked, he didn't expect the Ouchi commander to dare to rebel so blatantly.
"Master Chen will go first. β
Chen Mu wanted to test the details of the other party, but there were many people here, and when he didn't know if there were other assassins, it was best for him to leave quickly.
After saying to take care, Chen Mu stepped on the horse to break through, and a group of guards guarded him, and left the killing ground in the blink of an eye.
Yan Xiaoyi's ambush was something that no one expected, and the implication was actually too wide. is also the eldest princess who hides too deeply and has always been, I am afraid that the emperor will also be suspicious.
Of course, these questions were not for Chen Mu to consider, what he wanted to know was whether Yan Xiaoyi was the person who killed the Sky Dome and what role did he play in it?
Soon returned to the mansion, several large cars and several rows of guards in front of the door made him suddenly vigilant.
When he entered the living room, he realized that it was a guest from the house, and there were quite a few. The second prince, Li Hongcheng's brother and sister, and Jiangnan's possessed Fan Xiaomei.
After saying hello and weighing the number of courtesies, Chen Muzheng wanted to ask everyone what they meant, but the second prince spoke first.
"From today on, Brother Chen is not an outsider, we are very curious, is the news from the palace true today?"
Jiang Nan was still looking at the green tassel gun on the wall, and hurriedly answered when he heard the words: "Yes, the emperor really gave me and the lord of Jiarou to you?"
The second prince's face changed slightly, what he wanted to ask was Chen Mu's identity, and he laughed when he heard Jiang Nan's words: "Of course my father's words will not be false, I am just very curious about Brother Chen's origin, is there really such a miracle as a temple in the world?"
Chen Mu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I might as well tell you the truth, I don't know about the temple, Chen Mu's name is also given by His Majesty." β
"I heard that you also chanted a word to your father, what is your name Man Jianghong, this should be Brother Chen's own. β
Chen Mu's heart moved, and he immediately thought of something, and deliberately smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed, this is also borrowed from the ancestors." β
"Sure enough, you are Chen Mu. β
The second prince's expression changed instantly, and he shouted in a cold tone: "Do it." β
At the sound of an order, Li Hongcheng's brother and sister suddenly pulled out their firearms, and a group of black-clothed people broke into the door, also holding weapons in their hands.
The accident suddenly happened, Chen Mu and the two got up and were so pointed at the gun that they didn't dare to act rashly, Jiang Nan's little face turned white with fright, and he hid behind Chen Mu as quickly as possible.
"What does the second prince mean?"
"They are all people who understand, why bother pretending to be garlic. You snatched my favorite woman and cut off my most powerful men, and you still want to be safe?"
At this time, Li Luo, who was observing from the side, suddenly interjected: "You are Wang Nian, the human trafficking incident in the dream realm of Hushan Wharf was really done by you." β
"Who are you?"
"Young master, if it's too late, things will change. β
Hearing the reminder, the second prince gritted his teeth and gave up some kind of idea of insulting Chen Mu, and without saying a word, he pulled off the insurance.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I broke your protective helmet, haha. β
When the words fell, the second prince was about to shoot. There was a commotion outside the house, and he subconsciously turned around, and Li Luo and the two immediately took the opportunity to rush into the back hall.
