Wen Xiaomiao asked Cheng Mu'an: "How many days can I get to the capital?" ”

"If there are no accidents, we should be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow evening." Cheng Mu'an lowered his head slightly and looked at Wen Xiaomiao gently, he liked to look at her starry eyes.

Cheng Mu'an gently rubbed Wen Xiaomiao's softness.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Wen Xiaomiao lowered her voice, approached Cheng Mu'an and asked, there is a big enemy in the capital who wants to take Cheng Mu'an's life, and Cheng Mu'an will be self-defeating when he comes back at this time.

"You just have to follow me when the opportunity arises." Cheng Mu'an's flat expression didn't show a trace of nervousness.

Wen Xiaomiao nodded, she wouldn't let go.

"I can't delay for too long, just see if you're safe, I'll go back first, the prince's safety is important, if you have something, look for Chen Mu, do you have anything else to do now?" Cheng Muan asked.

"No, I'm fine." Wen Xiaomiao said with a smile, and immediately gave Cheng Muan a reassurance.

Cheng Muan gently hugged Wen Xiaomiao and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm." Wen Xiaomiao looked around, as if no one was paying attention to them, she immediately lifted her toes, quickly kissed Cheng Mu'an on the cheek, and then ran back into the carriage with her head blushing in embarrassment, and lowered the curtain.

Cheng Mu'an smiled slightly, stared at the carriage for a while and turned to leave.

Wen Xiaomiao sat in the carriage, covering her red little face, her heart was pounding, sweet like a flower.

After a long time, Wen Xiaomiao secretly lifted the curtain and looked out, Cheng Mu'an had already disappeared, and Wen Xiaomiao suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.

Cheng Mu'an walked back to the deserted temple along the way, he saw the guards with knives taking the bedding into the temple from a distance, and suddenly his extraordinary ear power keenly heard a very slight whistle, Cheng Mu'an slowed down, he thought about it, and quietly decided to walk around the periphery of the deserted temple.

Cheng Mu'an walked slowly, listening intently, the farther away from the deserted temple, this place was overgrown with weeds and barren.

has already walked a long way, Cheng Mu'an suddenly quickly lay down, attached his ears to the ground, held his breath from time to time, listened to about a cup of tea, Cheng Mu'an stood up again, the sky was already dark, the surroundings were blurred, only the direction of the deserted temple was still a little light.

Cheng Muan walked into the temple gate, Gu Haojun and Liu Kuo were chatting.

"Lao Cheng, I'm back, come over and drink saliva, how is your little Miaomiao?" Gu Haojun beckoned to him.

"Very good." Cheng Muan walked to the small table, dipped his index finger in the water in the teacup and wrote on the table, but said in his mouth: "Your Highness, you will be in the capital tomorrow, you can finally relax, this great victory, the emperor must be very satisfied, although Morton ran away, but after all, we won a big battle, His Royal Highness will be rewarded by the emperor, right?" ”

"That's it, that's it, Your Highness also asks you to give us a few more kind words in front of the emperor, and it depends on Your Highness to get promoted and make a fortune." Gu Haojun winked at Cheng Mu'an.

"Yes, His Royal Highness has worked hard for several months, fortunately without dishonoring the emperor's order, now I can finally rest and rest, and when we return to the capital, let's have a few drinks and have a good time." Liu Kuo also dipped his fingers in the water and wrote on the table, and then nodded towards Cheng Muan and Gu Haojun.

"Your Highness, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, you see it's not far from the capital, let's drink some tonight, I'm in a hurry these days, I haven't drunk any wine, my gluttonous worm has already come out." Gu Haojun said with a grin.

"Tonight?" Liu Kuo's expression and voice seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"It's not too far from the root of the Imperial City, there shouldn't be any problem, it's okay, drink some, the more you see, the more I want to drink." Gu Haojun begged cheekily.

"Okay, but let's talk about it first, don't drink too much." Liu Kuo finally relented.

"What can happen to this, the guards with knives and the soldiers are protected by three layers inside and three layers outside, now not even a mosquito can fly in, Your Highness, don't worry, I'll go find wine." Gu Haojun ran out of the hall with joy.

"There's a pair of Go on the carriage, you can go and get it for me, I haven't played it for a long time, and my hands are really itchy." Liu Kuo instructed Cheng Mu'an.

"Yes, my subordinates will go now." Cheng Muan also went out of the temple gate.

After a while, Cheng Mu'an returned to the temple first, holding two jars of clouds in his hands and a soft and bright light purple satin brocade chessboard.

"It's been a long time since I've played a game with you, how about it? Has chess regressed? Liu Kuo put the teacup on the ground casually, and Cheng Muan spread the chessboard on the small table.

"It's rusty." Cheng Muan said lightly.

The two of them sat facing each other, the black and white sons fell alternately on the brocade, and for a while in the deserted temple, only the collision of the clouds in the chess jar was heard, and no one saw the silent communication between Liu Kuo and Cheng Mu'an.

After a long time, Gu Haojun came back, holding two wine jars in his hands.

"This wine is really hard to find, come on, come on, hey, it's already a game, I'll pour you wine." Gu Haojun poured a cup for Liu Kuo first, then poured a cup for Cheng Muan, and poured himself a cup after the last time.

Gu Haojun raised his cup and said to Liu Kuo: "Congratulations to Your Highness first, congratulations to Your Highness, with this great achievement, your position will be more stable, and you will definitely get more attention from the emperor." ”

"Being able to share the worries of my father and emperor is also what His Royal Highness should do as a son." Liu Kuo squinted at Gu Haojun slightly, and thought: You kid didn't see it, if you pat yourself on the back, it's quite slippery.

As soon as Gu Haojun saw Liu Kuo's expression, he knew what he was thinking, he laughed twice, and soon the wine in the wine jar was drunk, and Gu Haojun drank the most, and he couldn't speak well, and he couldn't stand up steadily.

Liu Kuo scolded with a smile: "Drunkard, you don't have much alcohol and you're quite greedy, come on, take Lord Gu down to rest." ”

Soon two soldiers came in, Gu Haojun shook off the hands of the two soldiers who wanted to hold him, and said, "I, I, I'm not drunk, you see, you see that I can walk by myself." "I just took two steps and was about to fall, but I was helped by someone.

"Let's take Master Gu down." Liu Kuo ordered, and then said to Cheng Mu'an: "If you play chess with me here for a while, I won't believe that I won't be able to win against you." ”

"Yes." The two soldiers replied.

"Subordinates obey." Cheng Muan replied.

After a while, I saw two soldiers helping Gu Haojun out of the deserted temple.

Gu Haojun was still muttering there to continue drinking, and soon he was helped away.

The lights in the deserted temple have been faintly bright.

There was silence all around, everyone should stand guard, patrol should be patrolled, and sleep well.

In the dark sky, the waning moon has disappeared into the clouds.

Wen Xiaomiao was already asleep, still holding the hairpin that Cheng Mu'an gave her in her hand, with a smile on her face, maybe she met Cheng Mu'an in a dream.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, which was particularly noticeable in the dark night, followed by a violent shaking of the earth.

There was a lot of confusion all around, horses neighing, and from time to time someone could be heard shouting.

Wen Xiaomiao was awakened, she hurriedly jumped down from the carriage, grabbed Chen Mu's arm tightly, her face was pale, and she looked around nervously.

"Is it an earthquake?" Wen Xiaomiao's voice was slightly unsteady and asked Chen Mu, since the last earthquake in Helan Mountain, which caused her to almost die, Wen Xiaomiao had sequelae from the earthquake.

"I don't know what to do, let's observe it first." There are people running around from time to time, Chen Mu is afraid that they will accidentally rub against Wen Xiaomiao, and pull Wen Xiaomiao in front of him, he lost his mind for a moment, the little girl who was as tall as him when they first met five years ago is now much shorter than him, and her appearance and figure have changed a lot.

After a while, the crowd gradually calmed down from the chaos, and the earth only shook for a moment, and there were no aftershocks.

Chen Mu asked the people around him what was going on.

Most people don't know what to do, and they are confused.

There were two small leaders who said that they also heard what the head said as if there was an accident in the place where the prince was resting, and an order was issued from above, everyone was on standby, waiting for dispatch at any time, and the area around the deserted temple had been blocked, and it was not clear what the specific situation was.

Wen Xiaomiao glanced at Chen Mu in surprise, and she said to Chen Mu, "I want to go and see." She didn't know how Cheng Mu'an was now, whether she was also in it.

"If you can't get in, it's blocked, and I heard that there's a commotion over there, so you better stay here." A small leader kindly persuaded.

Wen Xiaomiao didn't seem to hear it, and was about to leave with her legs raised.

Chen Mu grabbed her and said, "You follow me." ”

The two men pulled each other, one after the other, walking through the crowd.

Dozens of paces around the deserted temple was indeed surrounded, and there were torches everywhere, reflecting the night as if it were day.

Wen Xiaomiao was not tall enough, so he looked in along the gap between the people.

After looking at it for a long time, I only saw Gu Haojun, who was frowning seriously and anxious, talking to his subordinates, but he didn't see Cheng Muan.

Wen Xiaomiao chuckled in her heart, and a trace of coolness slowly spread from the tip of her heart, and even her hands and feet began to be cold.

"Chen Mu, have you seen Brother An?" Wen Xiaomiao asked.

"Not yet, maybe he's somewhere else, not here." Chen Mu comforted Wen Xiaomiao.

Wen Xiaomiao looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart suddenly changed.

I heard that the crown prince Liu Kuo was resting in this deserted temple, but now this deserted temple has no shadow of the temple at all, only to see a piece of scorched earth and broken walls, a stream of smoke straight into the clouds, tongues of fire straight into the sky, there is a scorched and unpleasant smell around, and Wen Xiaomiao, who is choking, wants to cough.

A large group of soldiers were constantly handing water to extinguish the fire and searching, and everyone was very nervous, not knowing whether the prince was dead or alive.
