Gao Yi also immediately added: "Yes, I also want to report on the current situation of our army in all aspects, so that it can be deployed, but seeing that the prince seems to be very busy now, I will also come over with my brother later." ”

"No need." Mu Chen raised his hand, "The military situation is important, I can listen while eating." ”

Gao Yuan and Gao Yi both looked at Hongling at the same time, and Mu Chen immediately realized that Hongling was not from the army, so it was indeed inconvenient to be here.

Mu Chen turned his head and smiled at Hongling: "Hongling, thank you for the osmanthus cake, you go back to your tent first." ”

Hongling understood what she meant, and smiled back: "Okay, I'll prepare lunch for you at noon." ”

Hearing that a beautiful woman specially prepared food for her, Mu Chen was even more happy, of course, this happiness was because of the food, not because of the beauty.

She simply smiled: "Good, good, excellent, I'll wait." ”

The simple words of the two of them, combined with their warm expressions, made Gao Yuan and Gao Yi look at them even more strangely.

The two brothers watched Hongling leave with strange expressions.

Catty, definitely catty.

Mu Chen's eyes were half narrowed, and there were more questions in his heart.

Hongling is a person from the Cangming Sect, Gao Yuan and Gao Yi are people from the imperial court, and it should be that the river water does not interfere with the well water, and each has its own world.

Hongling herself said that the Cangying Sect restricts the sect from interfering in the government affairs, as the protector of the law, she should take the initiative to avoid suspicion and draw a clear line with the people in the court, but the three of them actually knew each other a few years ago, and it is definitely not as simple as ordinary friends, what does they have to do with each other?

Although judging from Hongling's words, Hongling and the leader of the Cangming Sect are not bad people, but these are only from Hongling's mouth, and have not yet been confirmed, and Hongling is always flickering about the affairs of the Cangying Sect, and seems to have the intention to conceal it, whether she is a reliable person, or take the opportunity to approach other plans, Mu Chen still has reservations.

If it's just a Hongling, it's not difficult to beware, but when it comes to the Gao brothers, it's much more complicated.

The two brothers of the Gao family have always been upright, she is not worried that they will sell themselves and the court for money or profit, she is just afraid that Hongling will take advantage of the feelings of the two brothers, especially Gao Yuan, whose love is too easy to see through.

Gao Yuan and Gao Yi both seem to have their own agendas, Gao Yuan is especially obvious, he is absent-minded when talking about military affairs, and he is always distracted.

Mu Chen was impatient, feeling that he really couldn't talk about it, even if he continued to talk about it, he couldn't talk about any good way, and his tone couldn't help but be a little reprimanded: "You two are completely out of the situation, it seems that you can't talk about anything today, since you said that the weather in the past two days is not suitable for sending troops, let's talk about it later." ”

Gao Yuan lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Mu Chen: "Prince, I'm sorry, it's that I haven't analyzed it deeply enough, I will review it, and I will definitely report back to you tomorrow when I am fully prepared." ”

Mu Chen frowned: "Are you not analyzing deeply enough or do you have something else on your mind?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm really bothered by a little personal matter today." Gao Yuan was sorry.

"A private matter? Just can't say that? Mu Chen tacitly said that the so-called private affairs must be inseparable from Hongling, but he just didn't know the specifics.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry for being unable to talk about it for a while." Gao Yuan is a frank person, he can say it if he wants to, and refuse if he doesn't want to say it, he will not make up a lie to stop it.

However, hearing Gao Yuan say sorry in three consecutive sentences, Mu Chen became inexplicably irritable.

Ever since Su Wuxian responded to her love with a sentence of "I'm sorry", she was particularly sensitive and disgusted by these three words, and Gao Yuan also used sorry for three consecutive sentences, she couldn't bear to be annoyed.

Without any warning, his beautiful eyes glared: "Don't say I'm sorry, you are an experienced general, you should know very well that the matter of sending troops is not trivial, it is related to the life and death of 30,000 soldiers, I don't want you to affect the fate of the entire army because of a little personal matter, if we fail, no matter how sorry you say, you can't save 30,000 lives." ”

Mu Chen has always respected the two brothers of the Gao family, firstly because they are older than him, and secondly, because they have rich practical combat experience, they are elder brothers in terms of age, and seniors in terms of seniority.

Even if you talk about business on weekdays, at most you are a little more serious, but you won't be overbearing in any case.

So this is the first time that Mu Chen has put on the prince's shelf to criticize Gao Yuan.

Her angry rebuke is not purely because "I'm sorry" stimulated the brain nerves, but because it stimulated the brain nerves and made her scold harder, in fact, her every sentence is very true, sorry can't solve any problems, and it can't change the result of a fait accompli.

The scolded Gao Yuan and the Gao Yi next to him couldn't help but be shocked by Mu Chen's momentum, they didn't expect that the prince's anger was stimulated all of a sudden, and they didn't expect that the prince, who had always been approachable, could also burst into anger in an instant.

Gao Yuan's heart is also reviewing, the prince is right, even if his feelings are unsatisfactory, he can't affect the army's combat, otherwise it will cause a big disaster, and he can't bear it, and he can't escape responsibility.

"Yes, no......" Gao Yuan instinctively wanted to say sorry again, but halfway through the word "no", he suddenly found that it was wrong, and immediately changed his words, fortunately, it was still too late, "Yes, the prince is reasonable, I will deal with the personal problem as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Mu Chen actually didn't mean to reprimand, and after saying that, he knew that his attitude was a bit excessive, so his tone immediately eased, "You go down." ”

"Yes, Wechen will retire first." Gao Yuan bowed his head and withdrew from the tent.

Seeing this, Gao Yi knew that the momentum was not right, so he hurriedly followed Gao Yuan, just now the prince's temper was not unseen, just watching Gao Yuan being scolded from the side, he was afraid, if he didn't slip away quickly, it would be difficult to ensure that the next one to be scolded was himself.

Mu Chen's eyes caught glimpse of Gao Yi, and he knew that he wanted to slip away: "Gao Yi, go so fast, do you also have a personal matter to solve?" ”

Gao Yi had already stepped out of the door, and when he heard the prince's call, he had to shrink back.

He turned around and squeezed out a half-true smile: "No, how can I have any personal affairs?" Haha......"

Mu Chen wanted to say that his two words of haha were too fake: "I see that you were also absent-minded when you were talking about business just now, and what kind of garbage were you thinking?" ”

"Oh, this ......," Gao Yi pretended to be pensive, frowning, "I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Say it." Mu Chen looked sideways and knew that this guy was thinking nothing good.

"It's okay to say it, but the prince promises not to blame me first." On weekdays, Gao Yi thinks of something and says something, but today, after watching the prince go crazy just now, he doesn't want to be the object of anger, of course, he can't say it easily, he has to say it first.

Mu Chen saw through his mind and knew that he was too angry just now, which frightened Gao Yi: "Come on, I won't blame you, as long as you don't keep telling me I'm sorry." ”

Mu Chen knew where the mines were, as long as she didn't keep telling her the words "I'm sorry", she wouldn't step on the mines.

"Why? Did those three words offend you? Gao Yi didn't dare to pronounce "I'm sorry" easily, but he was very curious, these three words are actually very ordinary, and everyone often says them inadvertently.

"I hate it anyway." Mu Chen was too lazy to explain, and she couldn't explain it, she didn't want to mention these sensitive things about the past, besides, now she asked Gao Yi, why didn't she say a few words and let Gao Yi ask back?

She couldn't help but squint her eyes: "Now that I'm asking you, you still care about me?" ”

"Oh, yes." Gao Yi didn't dare to anger Mu Chen, at least under this limelight, he should be aware of the times, "Prince, you remember, you just promised, you won't blame me for anything I say." ”

"Alright, how old are you? So long-winded, doesn't anyone think you look like an old man? Mu Chen was so angry that he almost wanted to kick him out.

"Actually......" Gao Yi pretended to be very unspeakable, "Actually, I was thinking just now, Hongling is the beauty who was in the prince's bed yesterday, right?" Just looking at the faces of the two of you, Pink Feifei, I must have lost my soul a lot last night last year, right? Looking at the prince's expression, you should be very satisfied with Hongling, so it seems that Hongling will be the future princess? Oh, the more I think about it, the more I look like it, it seems that I have to get married to the future crown princess as soon as possible, so that my life will be a little better, and the promotion of the official will be smoother. When you ascend the throne in the future, Hongling will be the queen......"

Gao Yi pretended to be serious at first, but as he spoke, he became more and more displaced, and his eyebrows danced.

Mu Chen was already in a cold sweat when she heard it, and she really didn't want to listen to it anymore, at this time, she didn't want to divide any dignity and inferiority, so she grabbed the plate that had been eaten up casually, and knocked it on Gao Yi's head with a "bang".

In fact, this is considered merciless, at least Gao Yi's head is not swollen.

Gao Yi said innocently: "Prince, didn't you promise not to blame me?" ”

"That's right." Mu Chen nodded, "I said I wouldn't blame you, but I didn't say I wouldn't beat you." ”

"Prince, you're too treacherous!" Gao Yi feels like being pitted.

"It's okay, I told you yesterday first, don't make such jokes again." Mu Chen said very seriously, "Anyway, the relationship between Hongling and me is not what you think, and it can't be what you think." ”

"Really?" Gao Yi seemed to want to determine something.

"Really, Hongling and I only met yesterday, I saw that she was injured before I brought her back to recuperate, anyway, this matter is very complicated, not something that can be explained clearly in a few words."

"That's good." Gao Yi was inexplicably relieved, his expression was the same as when he dismissed Mu Chen that night, very serious and deep, and there was no flow in his dark eyes when he was laughing.

Always at these times, Mu Chen felt that Gao Yi and Gao Yuan were the most similar, from appearance to interior, from demeanor to temperament, they were the same.
