In the early morning of the second day, Li Le got up and went out.

However, as soon as she arrived at the gate, she heard the neighing of horses behind her.

Li Le turned his head in surprise, and was surprised to see Li Mufeng riding on a tall horse, stopping in front of him in a dusty manner.

She was stunned for a moment, and asked with a stunned expression: "Brother, where did you come back from?" ”

At the moment, Li Mufeng was worried, and replied absentmindedly: "I just came back from the palace." ”

Li Le nodded thoughtfully, and she also noticed the sadness on her brother's face.

After a pause, she cautiously asked, "Brother, are you ...... Are you okay? Is there something going on in the palace? ”

Li Mufeng's eyes wandered, as if it was not appropriate to talk about it outside.

He stepped off the horse with a swift posture, signaled to Li Le with his eyes, and lowered his voice and opened his lips: "Ah Le, let's go in and talk about this matter." ”

Seeing Li Mufeng's secretive appearance, Li Le did not continue to ask, and led the horse into the mansion with him.

In a moment, the brother and sister came to the study.

After the two sat down, Li Mufeng did not speak immediately, but ordered the maid to make a pot of tea and bring it in, and then ordered her to close the door.

Li Le sat opposite him, holding his chin in his hand and looking at him in confusion, "Brother, what's mysterious and mysterious?" ”

Li Mufeng's eyebrows were at a loss, first sighed, and then took a shallow sip of tea from the tea bowl.

"What the hell is going on? You seem to be afraid of being heard......" Li Le urged blankly.

Li Mufeng put down the tea bowl in his hand, and his tone was worried: "Do you know why I came back so late after the morning today?" ”

Li Le shook his head inexplicably, thinking that his brother usually has a lot of official duties, even if he comes back late, it is really normal.

"I don't know, why did you come back so late?" Li Le repeated the question in confusion.

Li Mufeng's eyebrows became more and more worried, and he responded in a low voice: "Someone in the court played this morning and told the emperor about disaster relief. ”

Li Le raised his eyebrows, tilted his head to look at Li Mufeng and asked, "Then what?" ”

"Then he proposed that Mu Changjin escort the disaster relief money, and said that he had a deterrent effect as a little marquis, so as not to have problems with this money." Li Mufeng told in a solemn tone.

Hearing this, Li Le's heart chuckled, and he vaguely realized why Li Mufeng was worried when he came back.

"What did the emperor say?" She asked sharply in a hurry.

Li Mufeng frowned, and replied with a long sigh: "The emperor didn't say anything, but the prince deliberately added oil and vinegar to the court!" ”

At this point, Li Le probably understood the ins and outs of the matter, but he didn't know how the emperor would react to the prince's sowing of discord.

"The prince has always been secretly at odds with Chang Jinming, and besides, the prince likes to be in the limelight, so it's not surprising that he suddenly stood up at this time." She sneered and commented.

Li Mufeng smiled bitterly and reluctantly agreed: "Yes, so he made it clear to the emperor at that time that the current Mu Changjin people in the current ranch are not there, even if he is appointed to escort the disaster relief money, it is empty talk!" ”

"So the emperor handed over this task to someone else?" Li Le's face was surprised.

Li Mufeng did not respond to her question immediately, and picked up the teacup and drank tea with a worried face, as if he was recalling the scene of the morning dynasty.

After waiting for a while, Li Le was a little impatient, and she also wanted to know how the emperor made the arrangements as soon as possible.

"Brother, don't sell it, hurry up and tell me what happened next?" Li Le couldn't wait to ask.

At this time, Li Mufeng suddenly squeezed the teacup, and his sword eyebrows twisted in response: "You don't know, because the ministers have a lot of discussions about this, so the prince took the opportunity to stir up trouble and said a lot of things that were unfavorable to Mu Changjin, and in the end, even Lord Shangshu was on his side." ”

Li Le knew very well that the relationship between the ministers of the court and China had always been very complicated, and in addition to the usual intrigues, they also had their own teams.

She bit her lower lip and didn't say anything, waiting for Li Mufeng to continue.

After a pause, Li Mufeng drank all the tea in the cup, put it on the table and began to talk about the situation at that time.

"Because Mu Changjin is not in the court, there are not many people who speak for him, and in the future, the emperor will issue an order, claiming that if he still can't see his figure before the disaster relief date, then he will be fully handed over to the crown prince to be responsible!"

As soon as he heard this, Li Le completely understood what the prince was thinking.

Originally, the crown prince had not done much, so he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to show himself so that he could be rewarded in front of the emperor in the future.

"The prince is very good at picking ......the right time," Li Le smiled sarcastically.

Li Mufeng still shook his head, "There's no way, this matter is now one-sided, even if I fight alone, I can't help Mu Changjin say anything." ”

After saying that, he stared at Li Le, and his expression became more serious.

"Ah Le, my brother asked you, where has Mu Changjin been recently? Why don't you see him all the time? You know a little bit, right? Li Mufeng deliberately lowered his voice.

As soon as Li Yueqing's eyes rolled, she knew that the reason why Li Mufeng told her about this was to find out the news of Mu Changjin.

Since he asked, the two are brother and sister, Li Le plans not to continue to hide Li Mufeng.

"Yes...... I'm aware of some of the situation, though...... I don't know all about it. ”

Seeing Li Le's slurped tone, Li Mufeng realized that things were not so simple.

Li Mufeng's face suddenly tensed, "What do you mean?" Could it be that something happened to him? ”

Li Le was still a little hesitant before she spoke, after all, she had no clue about this matter until now.

"Yes, so I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find someone......" she affirmed with a gloomy face.

Li Mufeng frowned, and stared at Li Le without blinking: "Then tell me quickly, what happened?" ”

Li Le's eyes were empty, staring blankly at the steaming teacups on the table.

But there had to be a clue, and she didn't have to think about it all day long.

"Changjin was in distress before, and it may have fallen off a cliff, so there is no news about him at present, and I don't know his whereabouts as for life and death......"

Li Le slowly told the truth, and in order to hide his inner uneasiness, he also began to hold the teacup in both hands to disguise his calmness.

This response really surprised Li Mufeng, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"What? How could Mu Changjin fall off the cliff? Tell me the whole thing, and I'll lead my troops to search!" Li Mufeng spoke anxiously.

Li Le was full of troubles while drinking tea, and she didn't know where to start, originally this matter was difficult to explain in a few words.

After organizing the language in her head, she still told Li Mufeng the whole incident.

After Li Mufeng heard this, he still had many questions in his heart, and asked with a puzzled expression: "In addition to these, is there anything missing?" ”

Li Le shrugged his shoulders and denied it with concern in his tone: "No, that's all I know, and I've already told you now." ”

Regarding Mu Changjin's disappearance after falling off a cliff, Li Mufeng also understood that the only way to reveal the truth was to immediately search for someone.

The so-called living to see people, dead to see corpses.

Even if Mu Changjin's life and death are uncertain, as long as he finds himself, whether he is dead or alive, he will have an answer immediately.

"Okay, you go back to the bedroom to rest first, I'll go out and look for it now!"

Li Mufeng didn't say much, stood up suddenly, and walked straight towards the door.

Li Le's eyes froze, and when he saw his brother striding away, he hurriedly got up and followed behind.

"Brother, are you going now? In such a hurry? She asked hurriedly.

Li Mufeng's pace slowed down, and he turned his head to look at his sister, "Yes, without further ado, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"I'm anxious too......" Li Le pouted uneasily.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the clothes she was wearing, and felt that it would be inconvenient to walk a long way.

Thinking of this, Li Le stopped Li Mufeng, and discussed with him eagerly: "Brother, can you wait for me, I'll change my clothes, and then go with you!" ”

Hearing his sister's plan, Li Mufeng politely refused her in order not to delay time: "You still wait for my news in the house, if you find Mu Changjin's whereabouts, I will send someone to send you a letter as soon as possible!" ”

Since Mu Changjin's whereabouts are unknown, Li Le has always been unwilling, even if he is busy, he is just sticking to a belief and holding on.

"But......" her expression was hesitant and anxious.

Li Mufeng smiled indifferently and comforted gently: "Don't worry too much, I believe that he has a natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine!" ”

Li Le still wanted to fight, but he stopped talking, looking at Li Mufeng's figure walking away, the only feeling in his heart was seven up and eight down.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Li Le smiled and said perfunctorily.

Although she was anxious, she could only force herself to calm down when she thought that she still had to investigate the Dali Temple.

Leaving from the house, Li Mufeng hurried to the barracks.

Summoning a small group of soldiers, he immediately led everyone to the bottom of the cliff to search according to the location pointed out by Li Le earlier.

On the way, some soldiers questioned: "It is said that there are many beasts in this mountain forest, if the little marquis falls off the cliff and is injured, maybe the evil will be more auspicious and less ......."

Hearing this reminder, Li Mufeng's mood worsened a little.

However, he didn't want the prince to succeed, so he strengthened his belief and responded with an oath: "I have a hunch that the little marquis will definitely survive." ”

And Li Mufeng's personal guards also believed his statement, "Yes, although the terrain of this mountain range is dangerous, there are still many farmers around, and the little monkey master is blessed with a great life, and he may also be rescued by kind-hearted farmers." ”

This sentence gave Li Mufeng more confidence, he looked at the misty mountains in front of him, and prayed that Mu Changjin could get out of danger safely.

"I hope so! Let's move fast! ”

Li Mufeng waved his horsewhip as he spoke, and hurried away with his soldiers.
