Meals, but not too much.
Mu Chen sat quietly, he looked at Yan Xuetian, and suddenly said, "Let me ask you, if someone kills someone, can you rescue him?"
Yan Xuetian said, "What's the matter, your friend is in prison?"
Mu Chen said, "I only ask if you can"
Yan Xuetian hesitated.
Wang Fa is naturally more important than affection, especially since he has been in officialdom for many years, and he knows this very well.
But how could Mu Chen not know, even so, Mu Chen still asked.
So do you still want to give him an answer?
Mu Chen saw that Yan Xuetian didn't speak, so he had to say, "Then can you tell me what punishment I will receive for killing?"
Yan Xue Tiandao: "What is the reason?"
Mu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Save people, that's right, it's to save people."
Yan Xue Tiandao "If you save people, you must not be beheaded, and at most you will be assigned to the army"
Mu Chen said, "Where did you send it?"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Recently, Dali has been tight, presumably it should be there"
Mu Chen nodded.
Yan Xuetian said, "Don't worry, if your friend wants to join the army, I will definitely take care of him, what is his name?"
Muchen said "Murong Xia"
Yan Xuetian's eyes lit up, and she said, "Murong Xia, is that Murong Xia who went to Huashan with you?"
Mu Chen said, "Hmm"
Yan Xue Tiandao "If I'm not mistaken, he should be blind to his eyes"
Mu Chen said, "Hmm"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Since he is blind, then he will not be assigned to the army"
Mu Chen suddenly became a little excited, and said, "Why?"
Yan Xue Tiandao, "This is a rule that has just been changed by the imperial court, although you don't need to be in the army, you have to be in prison for a lifetime."
Wood Dust was silent again.
Yan Xue Tiandao, "Don't worry, at most one year, I will definitely help you rescue him in a year"
Mu Chen nodded, changed the subject, and said, "You just said that there is a new movement over there in Dali?"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Since Duan Chenfeng succeeded to the throne in a coup, Dali has been quiet for a while, I guess he does not recruit troops from outside the country, but also to appease the people, but recently, for some reason, he suddenly gathered 100,000 troops at the junction of the three southwestern countries, I don't know what the intention is"
Mu Chen said, "Could it be that he can't help it anymore and wants to send troops with Lin Hongyue to attack the Central Plains?"
Yan Xue Tiandao "possibly"
Mu Chen stood up and said, "I'll go and give the order down, and let the beggar disciples be on full alert."
Yan Xuetian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this matter can't be concluded yet, if he really wants to join forces with Xiang Tianzong, then where will Xiang Tianzong's troops come from?"
Mu Chen thought for a while, sat down again, and said, "What do you mean?"
Yan Xue Tiandao said, "The number of Xiang Tianzong is only five hundred, and it is easy to cause a coup d'état in the Dali Palace, but you must know that the population of the Central Plains is more than 100,000, and the border guards of the Southern Dynasty are 300,000.
Mu Chen said, "So Lin Hongyue will definitely send troops?"
Yan Xuetian nodded and said, "And there are still a lot of troops."
Mu Chen said, "But where did he come from, the beggar gang didn't report to me that Xiang Tianzong was recruiting."
Yan Xuetian shook her head and said, "This is what I can't figure out."
Mu Chen pondered, "If he wants to have 300,000 soldiers and horses overnight, then he must directly take the ready-made, otherwise it is impossible to train an army of 300,000 without movement."
Yan Xue Tiandao "ready-made? You mean the strength of the Central Plains"
Mu Chen nodded.
Yan Xue Tiandao said, "Then he may have to beat me up for the idea here, how can I say that my emperor here is still very young"
Mu Chen thought quietly, thinking about all possibilities.
Suddenly, Mu Chen's brows tightened, and he said, "Maybe, he wants to fight the idea of the Eastern Dynasty."
Yan Xue Tiandao: "Eastern Dynasty, what is the reason?"
Mu Chen said, "The old emperor of the Eastern Dynasty is critically ill, do you know about this?"
Yan Xue Tiandao: "How can this kind of thing be reported to the enemy country? When I know it, I will receive an invitation to the enthronement ceremony."
Mu Chen said, "The old emperor is critically ill, which means that this is the most chaotic time in the Eastern Dynasty"
Yan Xue Tiandao: "But what about Dongfang's mistake?
Mu Chen said, "Of course he is in charge, if he doesn't care, the Eastern Dynasty will already be in chaos, but after all, he still has to take care of the battlefield, and he can't do the third thing."
Yan Xue Tiandao "The third piece?"
Mu Chen said, "The old emperor has died, so who will be the emperor?"
Yan Xuetian said categorically, "That's naturally too..." His voice suddenly stopped, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and he said, "I remember that the old emperor has no son."
Mu Chen said: "Have you heard the name Li Xue'er?"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Princess, when I was wandering in the rivers and lakes before, I also went to the palace to see her, she is indeed a beauty, but unfortunately she ran away with someone later, and it is said that she is still a dumb person"
Mu Chen said, "She eloped with 'Absolute Arrow' Zhang Qingge, and gave birth to a child, who is seven years old this year"
Yan Xuetian suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I understand, Zhang Qingge eloped with the princess back then, and the old emperor must be very angry with him, so even if the old emperor is Zhang Qingge's father-in-law, the old emperor will not let him succeed to the throne, so the only legitimate heir is the seven-year-old child."
Mu Chen said, "What's more, Zhang Qingge is already dumb, how can the dumb emperor sit down?"
Yan Xuetian said, "What about the child?"
Muchen said, "Zhang Qingge's family was affected by me, and was wiped out by Tangjiabao, Princess Li died, and the child"
He paused, stared at Yan Xuetian and said, "Child, in Xiangtianzong"
Yan Xuetian couldn't help but gasp and said, "It seems that Xiang Tianzong really wants to fight the idea of the Eastern Dynasty."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "When the time comes, as long as you threaten the little emperor and want a loyal minister like Dongfang Cuo, there is no way but to lend troops to Xiang Tianzong."
Yan Xue Tiandao "In this way, everything will be cleared, not only can there be soldiers and horses, but also weaken the strength of a country's confrontation"
Mu Chen said, "Not only that, I have learned Lin Hongyue's tricks, although I don't know what his purpose is to deal with me, but he is indeed a very smart person, if several countries carry out, he will attack the Central Plains countries in the name of the Eastern Dynasty, it will definitely cause civil strife, and when the Central Plains is a mess, they will clean up the mess."
Yan Xuetian's eyes were suddenly full of bloodshots, and her fists clenched unconsciously.
Mu Chen said, "You don't have to be too excited, I don't think they dare to do it in a short time, otherwise why wait until now?"
Yan Xuetian said, "Maybe, Lin Hongyue is waiting, waiting for Dongfang to find him by mistake"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Because only then can Lin Hongyue be qualified to make a request, if he takes the liberty of bringing the little prince into the palace, Dongfang will definitely send heavy troops to capture the little prince."
Yan Xue Tiandao: "He can threaten with the little prince"
Mu Chen said, "I have seen Dongfang Wrong, if Lin Hongyue dares to threaten him with the little prince, then he will definitely die under the blade of tens of thousands of people."
Yan Xuetian thought for a while and said, "You mean that he only dares to put forward conditions on his own territory?"
Mu Chendao "Not bad"
Yan Xue Tiandao, "It seems that Lin Hongyue is really smart, he will never exchange a child's life for his own life"
He suddenly asked, "But how do you know these things?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I said that it was I who involved Zhang Qingge's family, so the matter of saving the prince was naturally pushed on me by Dongfang."
Yan Xue Tiandao, "I haven't seen you for a few years, the burden on your shoulders has not only not been lightened, but has become heavier, what about Zhang Qingge?"
Mu Chen said, "I guess we should be rushing to Tianzi Bridge, we said where to meet"
Yan Xue Tiandao, "Tianzi Bridge, that is the place of Xiang Tianzong, what are you going to do there?"
Mu Chen didn't speak, just asked lightly, "Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, right?"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Yes"
Mu Chen said, "The wine is gone, let's go get some more wine"
Yan Xuetian sighed and said, "It's a pity that no amount of wine can relieve the burden on your shoulders."
Mu Chen smiled, "Just like that, you have to kill me too, I just hope that your kung fu has not regressed"
Yan Xuetian's face changed, his eyes showed a look of pain, and he smiled bitterly, "I also hope"
Mu Chen said, "Since it's useless to drink, let's do something serious"
Yan Xue Tiandao said, "Go investigate the case?"
Mu Chen stood up and said with a smile, "Since there are too many burdens on your shoulders, you might as well unload some small burdens first"
