Chapter 61: The Royal Dispute
The two put on their clothes, and they heard someone knocking on the door, Mu Chen went to open the door, and saw a man standing at the door, Mu Chen asked strangely, "Are you?" The man smiled and said, "Shaoxia, we don't know each other, I'm just here to help someone pass the word" Mu Chen said, "Who is it?" The man said, "I don't know what his name is, I only saw that he was a blind man, give me five taels of silver, let me come to the inn to find a person named Mu Chen, by the way, you are called Mu Chen."
As soon as Mu Chen heard it, he knew that it was Murong Xia who gave you his own words, and thought to himself, "Could it be that he has already left?" or did something happen? I should have gone to help him yesterday" Thinking about it, he heard the man say, "Are you called Mu Chen?" Mu Chen came back to his senses and said, "That's right, it's me, what did that person say to you?" The man said, "It's just you, he said that he has finished what he needs to do, and now he goes back to the mountain to cultivate, if you need help with something, what can you go." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info. Not.. Wuji Mountain, yes, go to Wuji Mountain to find him, he will definitely help, and he said that he caused you trouble because of his business, and apologized to you"
Mu Chen thought to himself, "Wuji Mountain, haven't you heard of it," and then said, "Okay, you can go," and the man nodded and left the inn. Shen Yueying asked, "Brother Mu, what's wrong?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Brother Murong left, and that person was the messenger" Shen Yueying didn't think much about it and nodded.
Mu Chen said, "I've been delayed a lot of time in the past few days, let's continue to hurry after eating" Shen Yueying nodded, and after the two of them ate, they left the inn and hurried non-stop.
The place where Muchen is located is a city on the edge of the Southern Dynasty, which is far away from the capital, so the construction and prosperity are not as good as those of the city close to the capital.
The two of them rushed for more than ten days in a row, until they were about to reach the capital of the Southern Dynasty, Mu Chen said, "We won't enter the capital, let's go around, so as not to have some unnecessary trouble" Shen Yueying was also reluctant to enter the capital, nodded, and the two walked around the city.
I have been rushing from sunrise to the scorching sun, it is already early summer, and the scorching sun at noon in the Southern Dynasties area is still very poisonous, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. So the two found a small roadside shop outside the city and prepared to drink a bowl of tea.
sat down on the side of the road, ordered a pot of tea, and the two waited for the tea to come up. Mu Chen said, "It's been hard for you these past few days" Shen Yueying smiled and said, "How can you feel hard with Brother Mu?" Mu Chen didn't speak, smiled and touched Shen Yueying's head, Shen Yueying was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Mu, when will we get to your hometown" Mu Chen said, "If we have this speed, it will be fine in less than ten days" Then Mu Chen looked at the sky, and suddenly said gloomily, "Things are not people, can they still be considered hometowns?" Shen Yueying said. Brother Mu, don't be sad, I believe you will definitely be able to find the thief, and then take revenge, besides, don't you still have me, Brother Bian, Brother Sima. and Sister Qingyu," Shen Yueying looked a little flustered when she said Yi Qingyu. Mu Chen was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Haha, with you, Brother Mu is not afraid of anything"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mu Chen suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. When the two were sweet, Mu Chen suddenly saw two people coming to the next table, both of them were carrying knives, one had a beard, the other was beardless, at a glance, he knew that it was a good man in the green forest on the rivers and lakes, the two sat down and ordered wine and meat, Mu Chen heard the bearded man say, "Damn, this day is hot to death" The beardless man smiled and said, "Okay, don't complain" The bearded man said, "You said that this prince is too ruthless, that's his own brother" As soon as he heard the prince, Mu Chen immediately thought of two people, Sima Yunxuan and Xiao Wenchong, Sima Yunxuan did not have a younger brother, so Mu Chen speculated that the two people in front of him were talking about Xiao Wenchong.
At this time, the beardless man said, "Hmph, who said no, you said how much Wen and Gongzi took care of us, I didn't expect such a good person to actually do such a thing" The bearded man said, "I heard that this time there are heroes with names and surnames in the entire Southern Dynasty, and everyone who has been taken care of by Wen and Gongzi will participate in this rescue plan" The beardless man said, "But isn't it, do you say that this emperor is also old, and his brain is confused, how can he make a person like Wen Chong Gongzi who is not doing his job a prince, I see, this Southern Dynasty is over" The bearded man slapped the table, "Damn, if you want me to say that there are so many of us, just send Wen He Gongzi to the dragon chair, isn't it over?" The beardless man hurriedly covered the other party's mouth and said, "Shhh, be quiet" After speaking, he looked around and said, "This is a plan to usurp the throne, no matter how many of us are, can we beat tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the royal family?"
After a while, the wine and meat came up, and the tea that Mu Chen asked for also came up, Xiao Er said to Mu Chen, "I'm sorry for the guest officer, I've kept you waiting for a long time" After saying that, he was about to leave with a smile, Mu Chen said, "Wait, Xiao Er, I asked you something" Xiao Er turned around and said, "Guest officer, you asked" Mu Chen said, "Has something happened to this palace recently?"
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Er suddenly became distracted, Mu Chen took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, Xiao Er saw the silver and said with a smile, "Thank you, guest officer" As he spoke, he was about to reach out and take it, Mu Chen suddenly took the silver back and said, "Give it to you, but you have to tell me about it" Xiao Er hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't resist the temptation, and said, "This matter is a matter of the royal family, it stands to reason that we ordinary people shouldn't comment on anything" Shen Yueying said impatiently, "Oh, let's get down to business" Xiao Er was taken aback and said"Yes. . . That's right."
The shopkeeper looked around and whispered, "The current emperor of our Southern Dynasty has two princes, one is the eldest son, the current prince Xiao Wenchong, Prince Wenchong, and the second son Xiao Wenhe, Prince Wenhe, Prince Wenchong, Prince Wenchong has many concubines in the palace, and he is idle all day long, and he does not do his job all day long, and he does not come out for several days in the palace prince hall when he is happy, and when he is unhappy, he comes out to the city to search for the people's fat and ointment, and robs the people's daughters, and the people are very unconvinced that he is the prince." Mu Chen and Shen Yueying glanced at each other, Xiao Wenchong had already heard about it, but when they heard this coming out of the mouths of the people, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for the people.
Mu Chen said, "Then Prince Wenchong is not suitable to be a prince, then who is suitable" Xiao Er said, "Of course, it is the second prince of Wenhe, in terms of the birth of Prince Wenhe, he was born to the emperor's wife, and the queen died soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the current new queen is the mother of Prince Wenchong, but how to say that Prince Wenhe is also more positive than Prince Wenchong's bloodline, even if Prince Wenchong is the eldest son, but he is also a concubine." Mu Chen and Shen Yueying were both surprised, first, they were surprised that the royal family of the Southern Dynasty still had such a complicated situation, and second, they were surprised that the word Shu came out of the mouth of a common person to satirize the current prince, which was really uncomfortable.
Xiao Er continued, "Wenhe Prince is also famous for his status in the rivers and lakes, whether it is a sect or a good man in the green forest, as long as there is difficulty in finding him, Wenhe Prince will definitely help, and he is also half a Jianghu person, many people on the rivers and lakes respect him very much, generally everyone calls him 'Gongzi' instead of 'Prince', and this government, Wenhe Gongzi has superb martial arts, has many military exploits on the battlefield, and often asks the emperor for tax reductions, and sometimes uses his own money to help the poor people, which is praised by everyone in the people. ”
Shen Yueying said, "Since you all support him so much, why don't you jointly tell the emperor to let him be the prince" Xiao Er said, "Hehe, the girl doesn't know, we don't have such enlightened rules like the Western Dynasty, and all the good things are stopped by Prince Wen Chong, and he often says bad things about Wen and Gongzi, but Wen and Gongzi are also kind by nature, and they don't want to fight for the position of the prince" Mu Chen said, "It seems that this Wen Chongwen and the two brothers are really far apart, by the way, then I just heard someone say that they want to save him."
