Duan Chenfeng slowly walked towards Mu Chen.

He had a smile on his face.

The soldiers on the side shouted, "Don't kneel down when you see the emperor"

With a wave of Duan Chenfeng's hand, the soldier stopped talking and lowered his head.

"No need to be polite"

Duan Chenfeng smiled and said to Mu Chen, "I knew you would come sooner or later."

Mu Chen smiled, "I'm already here"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Since you're here, you might as well catch up with me"

Mu Chen looked at the soldiers around him and said, "With my identity, can I catch up with you on the same stage?"

Duan Chenfeng was about to speak, but he heard a voice from the carriage behind him.

"Since Mr. Mu is here, he is our friend, so why should he be obsessed with his status?"

It was the voice of Bai Bing.

Mu Chen said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful."

Duan Chenfeng smiled, turned around and boarded the carriage, and Mu Chen also followed him into the carriage.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

- You can actually share a car with the emperor. It can also be appreciated by the queen. What is the origin of this outlander?

Before they could figure it out, the guard of honor had slowly left, and the imperial flag was still waving in the wind.

Nothing to say all the way.

Back at the palace, Mu Chen was shocked again.

Mottled stone steps, moss-covered palaces. and most of the deserted courtyards, this scene is impacting Mu Chen's thoughts.

- Is this really the imperial palace? How could the emperor live in such a dilapidated place?

Actually, it's not too bad, it's just compared to the palaces of other countries.

Back in the palace, the hundred officials dispersed, leaving only Mu Chen and a little eunuch to follow Duan Chenfeng.

Still no one spoke.

Enter the side hall.

The little eunuch said to Mu Chen, "Please wait here, the emperor has gone to change his clothes."

Mu Chen sat in the side hall and waited.

About a quarter of an hour later, Duan Chenfeng walked slowly.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Let Mr. Mu wait for a long time."

Mu Chen said, "I don't have to bow down when I see the emperor, this privilege has made me very satisfied, what is it to wait for a while?"

Duan Chenfeng smiled and said, "Sit"

Mu Chen said, "Please"

The two sat opposite each other, with a camphor wooden table in the middle, and a small incense burner on the table, and smoke was rising from the incense burner.

In addition to the incense burner, there is also a pot of tea.

Duan Chenfeng personally poured tea for Mu Chen and pushed it to Mu Chen's side.

"You go down"

This is what Duan Chenfeng said to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch stepped back in response.

Mu Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea"

Duan Chenfeng said with a smile: "My country already produces good tea"

Mu Chen said, "Where did you buy this tea?"

Duan Chenfeng smiled and said, "This tea was planted by me personally, Mr. Ruomu can see it, I ordered someone to pick some and bring it back with Mr. Mu."

Mu Chen was a little moved, and asked, "You planted it yourself?"

Duan Chen's wind said, "Hmm"

Mu Chen said, "It turns out that the emperor is not so busy as they say"

Duan Chenfeng smiled and said, "I'm just cultivating sentiments, how big are these teas that the queen helped me grow?"

Mu Chen nodded and took another sip of tea.

After drinking the tea, Duan Chenfeng poured it for the wood dust again.

Mu Chen said, "When I came just now, I saw that the stone steps in front of the palace were covered with moss, why didn't the emperor send someone to clean them?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "This is a side hall, I usually rarely come, there are very few people in the palace, everyone has their own duties, so there is no need to trouble them."

Mu Chen smiled, "I can't think of it, I can't think of it"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Can't think of anything?"

Mu Chen said, "I can't imagine that you are really so incorruptible, it seems that the people praise you, and they are all heartfelt"

He paused, and continued, "If I find a home in the future, I think you must be the first choice here."

Duan Chenfeng said, "Mr. Mu said he laughed"

Mu Chen waved his hand and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I came here suddenly?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "If I didn't guess wrong, it should be for the garrison"

Mu Chendao "More than this"

Duan Chenfeng said, "What else is going on?"

Mu Chen said, "The old boy has looked for me"

Duan Chenfeng's expression changed suddenly, and he reluctantly smiled, "Really, how is he now?"

Mu Chen said, "He is willing to die in exchange for a condition for me"

Duan Chenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Kill me?"

Mu Chen nodded.

Duan Chenfeng said, "You agreed?"

Muchen said, "He has already committed suicide"

Duan Chenfeng smiled bitterly, "It seems that the fourth child is finally smart this time."

He continued, "Presumably Mr. Mu should know that my old enmity with you is not deep."

Mu Chen said, "But you are Lin Hongyue's person, and my enmity with him is not shallow."

Duan Chenfeng wanted to laugh, but he couldn't even smile bitterly now, he just said, "It seems that Mr. Mu has already heard a story, but I don't know if Mr. Mu is interested in hearing another story before Mr. Mu kills me?"

Mu Chen said, "If you want to say it, I can't stop it."

Duan Chenfeng said, "Did Mr. Mu listen to what the fourth child said, and think that I am a bastard who kills his brother and marries his sister-in-law?"

Muchen said, "It's not important if you don't care anymore?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Yes, this kind of private matter is supposed to be with Mr. Mu, but I think Mr. Mu must be very eager to hear why I ascended to this throne."

Mu Chen was waiting for him to continue.

Duan Chenfeng really continued, "Lin Hongyue had just come out of the customs and wanted to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, so he found Tangjiabao and asked Tangjiabao to surrender, Tangjiabao was afraid of Xiang Tianzong's power, so he surrendered to him, and our five peers had already taken refuge in Tangjiabao at that time, so by taking advantage of this incident, we also took advantage of the situation to defect to Xiang Tianzong, hoping to borrow his power to help me ascend the throne."

Mu Chen said, "This is the purpose of your defection to each force."

Duan Chenfeng continued, "Later, we succeeded, we infiltrated the palace and launched a palace mutiny, the emperor's relatives were all killed and injured overnight, and I became the preferred heir to the throne."

Mu Chen said, "Then, Lin Hongyue didn't ask you for conditions?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "He is a shrewd person, how can he let go of this kind of opportunity? However, after I ascended the throne, I saw that the domestic political industry was wasted, the officials were recruiting money and accepting bribes, and the people were miserable, and their reputation was boring, so I took this as an excuse to say that I want to rectify the internal affairs and lightly punish the meager endowment, and only when the country is strong, can I send troops to help him and unify the Central Plains."

Mu Chen said, "You've done it now, so you're going to send troops now?"

Duan Chenfeng shook his head and continued, "There is one more thing in this. I had no intention of sending troops to the Central Plains, but Lin Hongyue always sent people to urge, so I told him frankly"

Mu Chen said, "You regret it?"

Duan Chenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "This country has just prospered, and I can't let the people regain their misery."

Muchen said "makes sense"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Thank you for your understanding," he paused, and continued, "I thought that Lin Hongyue would not dare to attack by supporting the army, but I didn't expect him to kill my eldest brother with treacherous tricks, so I blamed me, saying that I was afraid that my eldest brother would be in a high position, so I got rid of him."

Mu Chen said, "This reason is indeed clever, the way of the emperor is incomprehensible to ordinary people"

Duan Chenfeng sighed and said, "You also know that the fourth brother is very supportive of the eldest brother, after the death of the eldest brother, he thinks that I disregard brotherhood and am bent on avenging the eldest brother, no matter how I explain it, he doesn't believe it."

Mu Chen said: "His martial arts are your nullification?"

Duan Chenfeng said: "It's Lin Hongyue. The fourth child repeatedly assassinated me, but when he didn't succeed, I locked him up in prison for dozens of days and then released him. ”

I don't know when, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said with some anger, "Later, Lin Hongyue ordered someone to sneak into the palace, pretending to be a soldier, and broke the fourth brother's tendon in prison."

Mu Chen looked a little surprised, he really didn't expect things to go this way.

Duan Chenfeng said, "I know that you may not believe it, the fourth assassinated me twenty-seven times, and I released him twenty-seven times, you should understand that this kind of thing is a capital crime once."

Mu Chen said, "I understand"

But he immediately continued, "But why didn't he just kill you?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "I have secretly opened a letter, if I die, the crown prince will immediately succeed to the throne and fully resist Lin Hongyue"

Mu Chen said, "What about the prince?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "I have fostered him in a minister's house, except for me and the queen, no one knows where he is, not even the minister"

Mu Chen said, "So Lin Hongyue can't kill you, if he wants Dali to send troops to help him, he can only rely on you."

Duan Chenfeng said, "Yes, he framed me just to force me to obey him, but he didn't dare to kill me, unless he already had enough strength and didn't need me anymore."

Mu Chen said, "So you stationed troops at the border and didn't move, just to prevent Lin Hongyue from using troops against you, and didn't want to invade the Central Plains?"

Duan Chenfeng nodded and said, "I heard that he won the military power of the Southern Dynasty, so he increased his troops to defend the border."

Mu Chen secretly admired Duan Chenfeng's wisdom and used Lin Hongyue's method to contain him.

He is really the wisest of the five peers.

But how many people are left now?

Mu Chen suddenly asked, "What about Xiang An?"

"Xiang An is dead"

It's a woman's voice, it's white ice.

Then, Mu Chen saw Bai Bing walking towards him.

Bai Bing has also become more beautiful, and this beauty does not refer to appearance, but to temperament.

Bai Bing walked to Duan Chenfeng's side and said, "The concubine sees the emperor."

Duan Chenfeng took her hand and said, "No courtesy, come and sit"

Bai Bing sat next to Duan Chenfeng.

Mu Chen said, "You said Xiang An is dead?"

Bai Bing smiled, "Yes, dead." However, although Xiang An is dead, there is one more Zen master in Baiyun Temple."

Mu Chen suddenly laughed and muttered, "He was originally a monk, and he ended up as a monk, which is a good destination for him."

Bai Bing said, "Mr. Mu, do you want to know why he became a monk?"

Mu Chendao: "Something to do with you?"

Bai Bing said, "It's Li Yanguang"

Mu Chen suddenly thought of Li Yanguang's matter, and he did remember that Li Yanguang was involved in this.

Bai Bing said, "Li Yanguang provoked the relationship between me and Xiang An, and brought the emperor in, which stimulated our contradictions"

Mu Chen said, "What is his purpose?"

Bai Bing said, "You abolished one of his hands, his greatest wish now is to kill you to take revenge, and we were your enemies at that time, if he can gain Xiang An's trust, he can borrow us to deal with you, and he can also use this to disintegrate us"

Mu Chen said, "Break you up, why?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Because he also wants to get rid of the five of us, in this way, his status in the rivers and lakes will be greatly improved, and if he wants to get rid of us, he must disintegrate us and attack one by one."

Mu Chen said, "Such a good idea, it must have been thought up by his good wife Sun Xiyun."

Bai Bing said, "Yes, it's that vixen"

Mu Chen said, "Fox spirit?"

Bai Bing said, "Although Sun Xiyun is nominally Li Yanguang's wife, she is secretly unclear with Lin Hongyue, I have seen them do unscrupulous things with my own eyes."

Mu Chen looked a little surprised, and said, "Li Yanguang doesn't know?"

Bai Bing said: "Where is the reason for a woman to steal people and let her husband know?"

Mu Chen didn't speak. What's more, a smart woman like Sun Xiyun naturally wants to stick to a more powerful man.

Bai Bing said, "But I also want to thank Li Yanguang, I treat Xiang An wholeheartedly, but Xiang An has always doubted me and often scolded me, but fortunately, the third brother has always treated me very well."

As she spoke, she tightened Duan Chenfeng's hand again.

Mu Chen smiled, there is such a thing as feelings, which no one can say, if a person chooses the wrong object, it is useless to pay more feelings.

He looked at Duan Chenfeng and Bai Bing, and silently blessed them in his heart.

Mu Chen suddenly asked, "Since you all know about Li Yanguang's conspiracy, why don't you kill him?"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Since Mr. Mu has talked about this matter, I have to remind Mr. Mu that the reason why we didn't kill Li Yanguang was because he suddenly learned a swordsmanship, which was very sharp, and we couldn't kill him at all."

Mu Chen became interested and said with a smile, "What swordsmanship?"

Duan Chen's wind road "Guiyun Sword Technique"

Mu Chen's smile froze and he muttered, "Impossible"

Duan Chenfeng said, "We will never be mistaken, that swordsmanship is the same as the touch used by Mr. Mu, not to mention that since Mr. Mu has obtained the swordsmanship from his adventure, why can't Li Yanguang?"

Mu Chen couldn't answer, and he knew that it was indeed possible.

If it weren't for Li Yanguang's special ability, how could he defeat the head of the Qingcheng faction on Mount Huashan? How could he become a tail of Lin Hongyue?

The three of them suddenly didn't speak, and Duan Chenfeng and Bai Bing looked at Mu Chen.
