Chapter 423: Return to Beijing

・Everything fell asleep.

And in Shangming City, there are dozens of sneaky figures sneaking in the shadows, waiting until they reach the gate of Shangming City to stop and watch.

"Made, Xun Qinghu is worthy of being Xun Renjie's favorite, the defense is tougher than a turtle, just a feint attack during the day, and he didn't even attack the city wall, and he lost two hundred people. Even at night, we are so closely guarded, we are only sixty or seventy people, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the task. ”

The leader among these people couldn't help but scold, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shangming City, plus more than 15,000 people in the city who assist in the defense, Xun Qinghu is not only strictly guarded during the day, but also cautious at night.

"Big brother, if we don't move when the time comes, our family will be ...... at that time."

Then, one of the men in black said with a struggling expression. They are all from Southern Chu, and they were ordered to come to Shangming City to join the army inside and outside, and the time is tonight......

"I can only fight, even if I die, I can't affect my family."

The leader who took the lead had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, if this plan fails, the siege army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and not only will they die, but even their families will be killed.

After saying that, the leader counted the time again, and knowing that the time was up, he waved his hand and ordered to attack.

Suddenly, the fire at the gate of Shangming City soared into the sky, shouting and killing......

The army of the Southern Chu State, which had been lurking outside the city for a long time, also launched a sudden attack at this time, and the two sides fought until dawn, and the gate of Shangming City was captured several times, and Xun Qinghu took it back......

Shangmingcheng is in a hurry!

After Xun Renjie received an urgent report from Shangmingcheng, he ordered 20,000 elite soldiers to directly rush to Shangmingcheng. As for other things, they were handed over to Xun Langyu to deal with, which was also an improvement of Xun Langyu's ability.

As a result, Xun Langyu could only bury his head in dealing with various things every day, and even Mu Youchen and Xuan Jiayin had almost no time to take care of it.

And Xuan Jiayin here is really as Xun Renjie said, he can jump on the ground in only five days. And unlike Xun Langyu's analysis, Xuan Jiayin blamed the crown prince and the eighth prince for this assassination.

Obviously, Xuan Jiayin thought that the crown prince and the eighth prince were worried that he would participate in the seizure of the heir, so he sent someone to assassinate him.

Xuan Jiayin's thinking like this is obviously beneficial to Yue Zheng and Mu Youchen's plan, and Xuan Jiayin, who believes that this assassination is aimed at him, is even more sure of his intention to seize the heir, and after almost recovering from his injuries, he will leave the south and go north to return to Beijing......

In the end, Xun Langyu sent someone to escort Mu Youchen and Xuan Jiayin out of the southern border, and the three of them said goodbye again.

On the way back to Beijing, there was no more danger, and when I arrived at the capital of Tianchen Kingdom, it was a month later.

The news of Xuan Jiayin and Mu Youchen's return to Beijing had already reached the capital, and as soon as the two of them walked near the city gate, they saw a large number of people waiting for them in front of the city gate.

Among them, the crown prince and the eighth prince, the old general Mu Longkong and Xu Jinnian were ......

"Thirteenth brother, you're finally back. You've suffered a lot along the way, haven't you? It's good to come back, I have sent someone to ask the imperial dining room to prepare dishes for you to nourish your body, just waiting for you to come back. ”

The first to speak was the crown prince, whose name was Xuan Jiaming. He is the eldest son of the current emperor, and he is now twenty-eight years old, a master of the Spirit King. Scheming and ruthless. More than half of the courtiers in the court were his henchmen.

"Thank you Brother Prince, I didn't suffer much on the way, I just met some people who didn't have long eyes, but I was already sent away."

Xuan Jiayin said with a smile, the scar on his waist was still aching, although it was not clear which one did it, but Xuan Jiayin thought that these two people could not escape.

"Is the thirteenth brother in danger on the road?"

When the eighth prince Xuan Jiafeng heard this, his heart moved, he definitely did not send anyone to deal with Xuan Jiayin. Could it be that after hearing that Xuan Jiayin was going to return to Beijing, the prince was worried that Xuan Jiayin, who was favored by his father, would also participate in the succession, so he chose to make a move?

If that's the case, Xuan Jiafeng feels that he needs to use this matter to win over Xuan Jiayin.

"It's just a few thieves, but luckily there's Youchen."

Xuan Jiayin turned his head to look at Mu Youchen, who had already walked next to his family, and his eyes showed a little luck.

"It's good to have nothing, it's good to have nothing. Thirteenth brother, it's good for you to come back, I have someone there who has offered a lot of weapons, what kind of dragon sword, Yitian sword...... I don't understand any of this, thinking that the thirteenth brother likes weapons, he can come to me when he has time, and if he likes it, he will take them all. ”

Xuan Jiafeng said with a smile, although Xuan Jiayin is young and does not seem to have any value in attracting him, Xuan Jiayin is the most favored one, and even the prince of the East Palace does not have as much favor as Xuan Jiayin.

If it weren't for Xuan Jiayin's young age and lack of strength to compete for the throne, the crown prince and the eighth prince would not have let Xuan Jiayin live until now.

"Then we have time to thank Miss Youchen......"

After Xuan Jiaming heard this, his eyes also turned to Mu Youchen's body, the current Mu Youchen is not the daughter of the idiot second miss who everyone laughs at.

The current Mu Youchen is a genius girl admired by everyone in the entire Tianchen Kingdom, and she has endured it for nine years, just to be a blockbuster. His tenacity is talked about, and his mother's filial piety is emulated by everyone.

It can be said that Mu Youchen has become a national model.

If you can win Mu Youchen into your hands, you will definitely be a hundred times better than the other party!

Xuan Jiaming and Xuan Jiafeng glanced at each other as if they had a heart, and they both saw each other's intentions in each other's eyes......

When Mu Youchen saw Mu Longkong again, he didn't have much hatred in his heart. And in this year, Mu Longkong has indeed aged a lot, although he is still in good spirits, but he can no longer hide his aging.

"It's good to be back, is your mother okay in the Snow Underworld Sect?"

Mu Longkong asked in a trembling voice, looking at Mu Youchen's little face, which was almost indistinguishable from Mu Zixin's face when he was a child, Mu Longkong just wanted to reach out and touch the little girl in front of him.

However, Mu Longkong restrained his excitement, and then asked with relief.

"My mother...... Luckily, she asked me to bring you a message. Say she misses you and will come back after a while. ”

Mu Youchen couldn't help but lie and said, Mu Zixin's matter must not be told to Mu Longkong. This is a white lie, but one day she will rescue Mu Zixin......
