Early in the morning of the second day, in the hall of the Xijun Palace, Murong Chenhe invited the princess of Xijun to sit on the top together.

Wu Yi came back from outside, stood respectfully, and said, "I've seen the general, the princess." Report to the General, those people are locked up, and I have people interrogated to see where there are still the Witch King's people. ”

Murong Chenhe took a sip of tea and said, "It's a good job." By the way, this is Uncle Huang's token, you take it to the townships and invite all the township chiefs. ”

"My subordinates will do it."

Wu Yi took the token and turned to leave.

At this time, Lao Huang came over and said, "General, are you looking for me?" ”

Murong Chenhe pointed to a large bag of silver taels on the table and said, "You can bring more people and give each homeless person a pension at the city gate, two taels of silver per person." Anyone who received the money had to register where they came from, whether they planned to return to their hometown or go elsewhere to earn a living, and whether they had any family. If they don't want to go back to their hometown and don't want to go elsewhere to earn a living, you look at their physical fitness and if you can, keep them. Uncle Huang is now the time to employ people, and it is not bad to recruit some people. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go right away."

Wu Yi responded, picked up a large bag of silver and left.

Princess Xijun smiled and said, "Chenhe arranged it well, in fact, it's okay if I don't come." ”

Murong Chenhe smiled modestly and said, "Of course the imperial aunt is still here, and I'm afraid of making mistakes." After all, I just arrived in Xishu, and I don't know much about Xishu. ”

"Haha, okay. It's time for me to go back and take care of the prince, and now the prince can't leave anyone. Those maids are all newly found, and it is not good to do things. ”

Princess Xijun got up and said.

Murong Chenhe then stood up and said, "I'll go over with the imperial aunt, I haven't seen the imperial uncle today." I don't know how Uncle Huang's health is after one night. ”

Princess Xijun nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

At this time, the prince of Xijun had already gotten up and was boxing in the courtyard in high spirits, and Elder Li was standing next to him and admiring.

"Uncle Huang is in good spirits, it seems that Elder Li's treatment yesterday was very useful."

Murong Chenhe walked into the courtyard, saw this scene, and said happily.

The prince of Xijun withdrew his fist and said, "This time it is really thanks to Elder Li and the dean, otherwise my little life will only be short." ”

Elder Li waved his hand and said, "The prince is a Ji man with his own natural appearance, and the old man is just doing his best. ”

"Elder Li, I see that the prince's face is much better, do you still want a medicinal bath today?"

Princess Xijun stepped forward and asked.

Elder Li nodded and said, "Don't cut off the medicine for three meals a day, if you take a medicinal bath, I will come over after dinner." However, it was still the same as yesterday, and the medicine at night was drunk by the prince before the medicinal bath. ”

Princess Xijun nodded and said, "Okay, I see." ”

"Okay, it's time for me to go to the Champs to see Yuelan and them, so I'll leave first."

Elder Li picked up the medicine box and turned to leave.

Murong Chenhe looked at the sun and said, "Uncle Huang's health is just right, it's better not to fight for too long, go in and rest early." ”

"Haha, I'm really tired of being in the house. Okay, then I'll come out and punch after my lunch break. Let's go, Chenhe and I go in and play a game of chess. ”

The prince of Xijun patted Murong Chenhe's shoulder and said.

Murong Chenhe nodded and followed the prince of Xijun into the house.

After the prince of Xijun sat down on the soft collapse, he took out the chessboard and chess pieces from the drawer next to him.

Murong Chenhe thought for a while and said, "Uncle Huang, just now I have asked people to invite the township chiefs of various townships, and I have also arranged for people to issue pensions to the homeless, I believe that it will soon attract the attention of the people on the Witch King's side." It is estimated that it will become more and more unsafe in this palace, or shall I use the tiger talisman you gave me to transfer some troops over, just in case? ”

The prince of Xijun squinted his eyes and picked up a sunspot and fell, and said, "It's time to prepare, we can't always be too passive." But there are too many people in this city, so you'd better make some preparations in advance and don't hurt the people. ”

Murong Chenhe nodded, dropped a white child, and said, "I will arrange for someone to live elsewhere in the neighborhood and give some comfort money." Then we will be surrounded by our people, so that even if the Witch King's people come, we can immediately surround them.

However, one thing I've been thinking about all the time is the Witch King's Palace. Uncle Huang, are we going to surround the entire Wuwang Palace and not let anyone enter or leave? ”

The prince of Xijun picked up a sunspot and fell, and said: "Don't touch the Witch King's palace for the time being, wait until the Witch King's people are wiped out, and the evil deeds done by the Witch King will be announced to the world, and then go and destroy the Witch King's Palace." There can be no more witch kings in Xishu, as long as the people of Xishu believe in the imperial court, otherwise the troubles in the future will still be countless. ”

Murong Chenhe dropped another son and asked, "Is Uncle Huang afraid that the Witch King Palace will cause dissatisfaction among the people now?" ”

The eyes of the prince of Xijun lit up, and after falling a son, he actually ate a large piece of Murong Chenhe's chess pieces, and said with a smile:

"Chenhe is not attentive, haha."

Murong Chenhe smiled awkwardly and said, "I was thinking about the problem just now, but it is still the emperor's uncle's chess skills, and my nephew is willing to bow down." ”

The prince of Xijun leaned on the soft collapse a little tiredly, and said, "You didn't put your mind on chess." But you're right, I'm really worried about causing resentment among the people, so let's leave the Witch King's palace alone for the time being, the Witch King is in our hands, and a mere palace is not enough to worry about. ”

"Lord Wang, it's time to take medicine."

At this time, Princess Xijun walked in with the medicine.

Seeing this, Murong Chenhe got up and said, "Uncle Huang has used the medicine to rest for a while, your body has just recovered a little, and it is not suitable to work." The nephew retired first. ”

The prince of Xijun nodded and said, "Go ahead." Come and have dinner together in the evening. ”

"Okay, my nephew will come over then. Uncle Huang has a good rest. ”

With that, Murong Chenhe turned around and left the room.

Murong Chenhe, who walked out of the room, unconsciously walked to the door of the Champs Courtyard again, hesitated for a moment, but did not expect the door to be opened.

"Chenhe?"

Yurun looked at the person outside the door in surprise.

Murong Chenhe was stunned for a moment, pointed to the road next to him, and said, "Oh, I, I went the wrong way." I'm going to leave the house. ”

Yurun smiled and said, "You came to see my Sister Yuelan, right?" Come on in. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and made a way.

Murong Chenhe showed an embarrassed blush on his face, and walked into the courtyard in a sloppy manner.

Yurun said funny: "Come in, Elder Li has just left, you can just go in and talk to Sister Yuelan." I'm going out to buy something for Sister Yuelan. ”

After speaking, Yurun didn't give Murong Chenhe a chance to react, and with a "squeak", he closed the door of the Champs Courtyard.

Murong Chenhe smiled helplessly and strode into Xiao Yuelan's room.

"Who?"

Xiao Yuelan, who had not yet recovered, was lying on the bed at this time, and when she heard heavy footsteps, she asked suspiciously.

Murong Chenhe walked in the door and said, "It's me." ”

Xiao Yuelan turned her head sideways and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Chenhe, why did you come over?" You should be busy right now, right? After the witch king was captured, did anyone come to save him? Have you made arrangements for all the displaced people? You should go to my master about the homeless, he should know better. ”

Murong Chenhe smiled and said, "Yuelan, you haven't changed at all, although you are trapped in this bed, the outside things have already been in your mind several times. When can you think more about yourself? If you think about yourself more, you won't let yourself suffer so much. ”

Xiao Yuelan said as a matter of course: "I am Master's apprentice, of course I have to care about the suffering of the people of Kyushu like Master, what's wrong with this?" No matter whether my stinky skin is beautiful or ugly, it can't change my original intention. And one day everyone will be a cup of loess underground, can this soil still distinguish between beauty and ugliness? ”

Murong Chenhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Good, good, good." I can't talk about you. What you say makes sense. ”

"You go and get busy, Zixiao is boiling medicine in the small kitchen, and he will come over to accompany me in a while." You don't have to worry. But you should bother more about this Xishu, the Witch King has been operating here for many years, and now you want to uproot him, I'm afraid it's not as simple as shedding some blood. ”

Xiao Yuelan waved her hand and said.

Murong Chenhe nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait until Zixiao comes over before leaving." Now tell me, how should I bother more about this Xishu? ”

Xiao Yuelan thought for a while and said, "There is one thing, you should know that your master, the elder, and his wife, that is, Linglong's mother, are from Xishu. This woman is vicious and ruthless, and I always feel that this woman is not ordinary. It's very strange just that she suddenly appeared to marry your master, and then suddenly disappeared after giving birth to Linglong. Maybe you can start here and find your master. ”

"What can a woman have? And this is my Master's sad thing, and I don't want to expose his scars. ”

Murong Chenhe refused without thinking.

Xiao Yuelan pursed her lips and asked again, "Then tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Murong Chenhe clasped his hands around his chest and said firmly: "I think one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, as long as this Xishu is the territory of the Murong Dynasty, there can be no more witch kings." Therefore, at all costs, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Xiao Yuelan glanced at Murong Chenhe and said, "If you find it more difficult to find your master, I suggest you go to find my master more, the master has been paying attention to Xishu, and he must know more than you." Of course, it is good to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but have you ever considered that the witch king of Xishu has been in Xishu for hundreds of years, or even longer, is it really good to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? Cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots means that all the witches will be exterminated, do you think this is really good? A lot of things aren't black and white. ”

Murong Chenhe was silent for a long time and said, "What if I really wipe out the Wu Clan?" You know this is the best way for the imperial court. ”

Xiao Yuelan said disapprovingly: "I will kill the Witch King for you, let the people of Xishu hate me alone, and I will not let you kill innocent people." ”

"You are really the dean's apprentice, and you will always have a compassionate heart. It will hate the most hateful people, and it will also be merciful to the people in the world, and can even push itself into the abyss for those people. But you have your persistence, and I have mine. I'm not going to push you out for myself and make you the target of the public. That's my bottom line. ”

Murong Chenhe said resolutely.

Xiao Yuelan's heart trembled, and she continued to persuade: "I think it's too early for you to make this decision now, you can go to the Wu Clan to have a look, maybe you can find other ways." ”

Murong Chenhe smiled softly and said, "I came to see you, but I didn't expect to argue over this matter." Don't worry, if there is another way, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, and tomorrow I will send someone back to Beijing to pass the news of your resurrection to Xiao Xiang and Zhongyong Gong. I think they'll be happy. ”

Xiao Yuelan opened her eyes and said, "No, tell them the same when I go back." Now that the situation in Xishu is complicated, it is not certain when he will be able to go back. There's no need to tell them so early. ”
