After Mu Zijin finished arranging affairs, Shi Shiran returned home.

Xia Qingchen was very worried, he didn't go to the barracks just after taking office, and he would probably say it to someone who was interested.

Mu Zijin only replied to him with one sentence, "I don't bring a team that doesn't understand military regulations, and if the capital guards don't set up military regulations for a day, I won't return for a day."

Xia Qingchen couldn't persuade him, he couldn't do it, the lord would not go, and he would have to go to the deputy general for anything, so he still went to the capital every day, and came back every afternoon to report some situations, but anyway, they were all kinds of disobedience to military regulations, and Mu Zijin ignored them, as if he had nothing to do with him.

As a result, on the second day of Mu Zijin's stay in the mansion, the mansion ushered in a distinguished guest.

"Commander Mu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suddenly come to visit, and he has arrived in the main hall."

Mu Zijin was flipping through the scroll in his hand, and when he heard this, he was stunned, "Who?" Prince? ”

"Yes." The attendant replied cautiously outside the door.

Mu Zijin had a headache, he didn't want to deal with these princes, the battle for the heir has always been the most annoying, "I know, let's receive it first, I'll come right away." ”

"Yes." After answering, the attendants departed.

Mu Zijin rubbed his temples, all the things he really didn't want to come came, put on the cloud pattern crane robe again, and hurried to the main hall.

As soon as I turned in, I saw a young man with a long and jade body who had already sat down in the main guest seat, with a delicate face, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, although he was young, but between his hands and feet, he could already see the momentum of the superior.

Mu Zijin walked over and bowed his hand to the monarch and minister, "Minister Mu Zijin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

From the moment Mu Zijin stepped into the hall door, Jun Chengze had already noticed him, the iconic red military uniform lined Mu Zijin with a tall figure, with a jade crown and a jade pendant, which looked like a handsome son, how could there be half a killing atmosphere.

Seeing Mu Zijin saluting, Jun Chengze hurriedly went up to support Mu Zijin, "Zijin doesn't have to be like this. ”

Hearing this title, Mu Zijin frowned invisibly, so kind, I'm afraid it wasn't really here to solicit it. settled down, and a faint smile appeared on his face again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, please take a seat." ”

Although it is reasonable, Mu Zijin should sit on the main seat, but the words of the prince opposite are different, so he sat down on the guest seat opposite Jun Chengze, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came today, and he missed the distance, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”

"Eh, I took the liberty to come, it's really abrupt, how can I blame you?" Jun Chengze waved his hand again and again.

I... Isn't it the main palace that claims to be used? Mu Zijin had already concluded that Jun Chengze must have come to solicit him today, and his temples jumped suddenly, "What did Your Highness say..., I don't know why Your Highness came here today?" ”

Jun Chengze put on a smile, "I heard that Jin encountered something in the capital guard a few days ago." ”

Mu Zijin smiled bitterly, "Your Highness Lao is worried, and for some trivial matters, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the ministers." ”

"Eh, there are no outsiders in the house, so Zijin doesn't have to call himself like this." Jun Chengze hurriedly interrupted Mu Zijin.

Mu Zijin responded, after all, he was a modern person's mind, always claiming to be a minister and always feeling inferior, it would be best not to claim to be so self-proclaimed, "Then listen to Your Highness." ”

Jun Chengze immediately smiled, this is the first step to build a good relationship between the monarch and the minister, and then remembered the matter of someone Baolai two days ago, and hurriedly said, "I heard that Zijin's left arm was slightly injured, I have some ointment here for treating external injuries, and the effect is much higher than your Tianbei Tianlu, so you can use it first." ”

Mu Zijin politely refused, "I am a person who practices martial arts, and it is inevitable that I will be injured." Some small injuries, how dare you let His Highness bother. ”

"Zijin is polite, but it's just a bottle of medicine. What does it matter if you use it? Jun Chengze continued to persuade, making up his mind to let Mu Zijin take the medicine before letting him go.

Mu Zijin had no choice but to bow his hand and motioned to the attendant to receive the medicine, "In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order." ”

After taking the medicine, Jun Chengze asked his attendant to wait outside the door, and glanced at Mu Zijin again, Mu Zijin knew what he meant, and turned around and signaled his subordinates to retreat.

"I heard that Zijin is having a headache about the capital these days, but is this the case?"

Mu Zijin nodded, "Exactly, the capital guards are sloppy, and it is not easy to recapture them now." ”

"That's true, I think this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and you can still manage this capital guard in the capital, I'm afraid there is only Zijin you." Jun Chengze's words did not hide his appreciation.

"Your Highness has praised falsely, it is my duty to manage the army, I have done these things since I was a child, practice makes perfect." Mu Zijin habitually humble.

Jun Chengze laughed, "Practice makes perfect." I was right. ”

Mu Zijin's eyes flashed, and he immediately covered it, is this sentence ready to get to the point?

"Zijin, I'm in the storage position, and there aren't many capable people beside me, so I hope to support me in the future." Jun Chengze opened his mouth and said solemnly.

Sure enough, did you throw an olive branch? Mu Zijin lowered his head, and the center of his mind was racing. On the surface, the olive branch was thrown to him, but behind him was the Mu family, and he agreed, which meant that the entire Mu family stood in line.

Now there is only one prince fighting for the throne, and the prince shows the image of a gentle son, courteous and benevolent, it seems that it doesn't hurt to stand in line, but for some reason, Mu Zijin always feels that something is wrong in his heart.

Looking up again, Mu Zijin showed an innocent smile, "What did Your Highness say?" Your Highness is the prince, how I support Your Majesty now, and how I should support Your Highness in the future. ”

Jun Chengze's eyes darkened, and he stared straight at Mu Zijin, as if he wanted to stare Mu Zijin out of a hole.

But Mu Zijin's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see a flaw, as if he was really innocent, and Jun Chengze didn't see any problem no matter how he looked at it.

"Also, the loyalty of the Mu family, I naturally know." Jun Chengze responded with a smile, but the smile in his tone was obviously reduced a little, and he got up, "Zijin still has injuries, I will stay soon, pay attention to recuperation." ”

Mu Zijin got up, "Your Highness doesn't drink tea anymore?" ”

"No need, Zijin, you can take care of your injuries." As he spoke, Jun Chengze walked out the door.

"Then I won't force it to stay, Your Highness go slowly." Mu Zijin hurriedly followed, leading Jun Chengze to the door of the mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Jun Chengze get on the sedan chair and walk away, and Mu Zijin entered the mansion.

Jun Chengze, who was sitting on the sedan chair, knocked over the tea on the table, "Okay, you Mu Zijin!" ”

Naive? How naïve would a general who is brave and undefeated on the battlefield be? A son who has been careful not to leak flaws since he entered the capital will be naïve? How naïve would an official who deliberately put on a moire crane pattern in front of him?

He's not a fool, how can he not see it? That innocent and innocent look is clearly pretended!

Mu Zijin, you wait, sooner or later I will let you worship under the hem of my robe, and the person I want to accept has never been an exception.

On the second day, I don't know where Gu Yuqing knew that Mu Zijin didn't go to the barracks, and when he arrived in Shen, he dragged people out of the mansion, saying that he had to have a meal for the brothers.

Mu Zijin couldn't resist anyone, so he had to go with someone, and only stopped Gu Yuqing when he ordered wine when he was ordering.

"What kind of wine? Tomorrow is not a rest. Mu Zijin frowned.

"It's okay, just drink a little." Gu Yuqing shrugged.

"No, you can't!" Mu Zijin refused without saying a word.

Gu Yuqing didn't follow, "Just a little." ”

"No, you can't! Have you forgotten that you almost missed the court last time? Mu Zijin was categorical.

Gu Yuqing was silent.

Mu Zijin stared at the person, and the three words of disagreement were almost written on his face.

“... I don't want to drink alcohol. Gu Yuqing still compromised.

After the dishes were served, Gu Yuqing was talking about all kinds of gossip in the capital, Mu Zijin was new and didn't know much, so he listened to people while laughing, and held two chopsticks from time to time.

But it's such a relaxing time, and there will always be some uninvited guests.

"Your Highness, this way."

Mu Zijin suddenly heard the sound of someone introducing and footsteps outside the door, and when he heard the first two words, his eyes froze.

At that moment, the door opened.

Gu Yuqing's voice stopped abruptly, and the two looked at the person at the same time.

The little second looked at the reaction of the people inside the door with a puzzled expression, and only then did he realize that this highness was not invited by Gu Yuqing at all.

It turned out that Gu Yuqing and Mu Zijin had just eaten not long before His Royal Highness came.

His Royal Highness often came here with Gu Yuqing to drink and get together, so he habitually brought people to Gu Yuqing.

Seeing that he brought the wrong one, the little two hurriedly bowed, "I'm sorry two adults, I brought the wrong one, I'll take His Highness to another private room." ”

Just as he was about to take someone away, Gu Yuqing suddenly shouted, "Wait." Saying that, he turned to Mu Zijin, "Brother, Your Highness is friendly with me, so how about letting Your Highness sit at the same table?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Zijin to agree, Gu Yuqing had already surrendered his hand to His Highness, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

His Royal Highness didn't shirk either, and without saying a word, he walked over and sat down opposite Mu Zijin, and said, "Jiuyang, General Mu Xiao, oh no, it should be called Commander Mu now." ”

Mu Zijin bowed his hand with courtesy, "His Royal Highness King Xian is polite." ”

It turned out that it was not His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness Jun Chengling, the third prince of this Dachen.

The two brothers have similar eyebrows and eyes, but Jun Chengze is heroic, and the superior is full of momentum; And Jun Chengling is approachable, without so much momentum, more like a rich child on the rivers and lakes.

"The Archon knows me?" Jun Chengling was surprised, "I remember that I have never met before." ”

Mu Zijin chuckled, "I didn't know each other before, but your brother came to me yesterday, and I know His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Jun Chengling's face was clear, "No wonder." ”

Gu Yuqing leaned over, "Did the prince really look for you?" ”

Mu Zijin bowed.

"The imperial brother is married, and the imperial brother can talk to the military officials in this court." Jun Chengling poured himself a cup of tea and said.

You can talk about it... This prince is very capable. Mu Zijin said in his heart.

Gu Yuqing also nodded, "Yes, but as long as this official in the capital is above the fifth grade, and the new official takes office, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely take time to visit and make friends." ”

Is that the case? It's really going to win people's hearts. The visit will not come to the door empty-handed, you must bring something, the person is the easiest to accept favors, just like when you come to see yourself with a bottle of good healing elixir.

Mu Zijin's eyes suddenly froze, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

The injury to the left forearm was an aphrodisiac, and when it happened, the entire hall had been guarded by the wolf rider, and only Xia Qingchen rushed back to know about it afterwards, that is to say, only the wolf rider and Xia Qingchen should know.

And the rest of the wolf riders except for Zhu Du'an are not from the capital, Zhu Du'an is on vacation now, and he hasn't returned to the wolf rider at all during this time, he won't know about it.

So how did the prince know?

"Commander Mu? What's wrong? Jun Chengling called from the side.

Mu Zijin hurriedly came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, think about Jingchengwei again." ”

"There are a lot of disadvantages in the capital guard, and they have been piled up for a long time, and if you want to cure them, I'm afraid that Commander Mu will have to work hard." Jun Chengling's words came from the heart, although he was an idle prince, he always hoped that Dachen would become stronger.

"It's my duty, and I can't work hard." This sentence is not self-humble, but in Mu Zijin's eyes, it is indeed the case, you must do your best if you belong to your own work, and you don't need to mention the word hard work.

"I said, you two, can you go out to eat without talking about business?" Gu Yuqing rolled his eyes beside him and threw peanuts into his mouth, "Can't you eat well?" ”

Mu Zijin glanced at the person and chuckled, "Yes, let's eat first." ”
