Chapter 47: Assist
"It's a bit of a thing, about the new bandits on the outskirts of the city, they have only started to rob homes and houses from the border of the royal city recently, and it is difficult to find out their whereabouts every time the imperial court sends troops, but this time the emperor intends to send people to suppress the bandits, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal."
Mu Changjin was a little surprised, "How dare these bandits commit crimes at the border of the royal city, they are simply bold." ”
"yes." Mu Wenwu nodded.
"Why did Dad tell me? Could it be that the emperor sent you to suppress bandits this time? Mu Changjin wondered.
Mu Wenwu sighed with some regret, "Hey, if the emperor is willing to send me, I want to go too!" However, the emperor said that instead of letting me bother with this kind of trivial matter, it is better to give the opportunity to his sons to experience and experience. ”
"Oh? What does the emperor mean? ”
"The emperor's meaning, leave this matter to the Night King."
"I see." Mu Changjin instantly understood.
The crown prince has always been valued by the emperor, and Chu Jing is also deeply loved by the emperor, in contrast, the night king Chu Huan has been a little neglected, this time the outskirts of the city to suppress bandits is a good errand, I think Chu Jing and the prince should both want to go, and put forward opinions for this, but whoever the emperor gave seems to prefer the other party, and the originally stable situation in the court will definitely be imperceptibly affected.
The emperor is a smart man, rather than this, it is better to give this opportunity to the Night King, that is, to give the Night King a chance, and to level the bowl of water between the three princes.
Neither the prince nor the court can guess who the emperor likes more, and it is really leaky, and the sacred heart is unpredictable.
"Since the emperor has already decided, why does my father still have to tell me, is there anything else?" If it weren't related to himself, Mu Wenwu wouldn't have come over on purpose, and he should have made it clear at dinner.
"My son is really smart, although my father can't go to this bandit, but you can still go!" Mu Wenwu stroked his beard with a grin, and smiled lovingly.
"Me? Daddy, aren't you! ”
"That's right, since they are all young people's experience, we veterans can't go, you young people can go together, I have already told the emperor, and the emperor also agreed, this time you will go with the Night King to assist the Night King."
Mu Changjin flicked his long arm and put his long sword into the sheath, he was a little dissatisfied with Mu Wenwu's self-assertion, "Dad, how can you make your own decisions without asking me?!" ”
"Do you still have to ask your son when doing things? I'm here for your own good, I'm afraid my father won't have the opportunity to accompany you to the battlefield, if you don't take advantage of the current experience to practice, how can I rest assured that you will embark on the road of conquest alone? ”
Although Mu Wenwu has a hot personality and looks nervous, he still has basic eyesight, and the emperor has never entrusted him with important tasks over the years, how could he not know what the emperor meant?
But Mu Changjin is still young, and his road is still very long.
Mu Changjin has the world in his heart, it is a matter of time before he goes to the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, Mu Wenwu can't help but plan for him, after all, he only has this one son!
Mu Changjin looked at the vicissitudes of his father's face, and suddenly his heart softened, he sighed, took out his spirit, and assured Mu Wenwu: "Dad, I know, I listen to you, this time the son of the bandit will definitely come up with a good result, so that you will be impressed, completely relieved!" ”
Mu Wenwu said with relief: "Okay, yes, it's my good son, then it's decided, the Night King is cold and arrogant, his temperament is not like to talk, you can pay attention to these." ”
Of course, Mu Changjin knew that the Night King was cold and arrogant, otherwise how could he not have seen him in Bowentang once? It is no wonder that Chu Huan is not valued by the emperor.
Chu Huan's background and intelligence are not bad, his mother is the daughter of a scholarly family in this dynasty, and now his mother is still here, and several uncles of his mother's family are also in official positions in the court.
Therefore, the emperor did not hesitate to establish the position of the crown prince, and favored Chu Jing alone, but no one dared to despise Chu Huan.
"I see." Mu Changjin should go down.
The emperor was in a hurry to suppress the bandits, and on the second day, Mu Changjin met with the two thousand cavalry led by Yu Chuhuan outside the city gate, but Mu Changjin was not alone, there was also a man beside him, it was the cold feather of Mu Changjin's small gathering that day.
Mu Changjin, as the prince of the world, saw that although the Night King did not have to kneel and salute, Mu Changjin only dismounted and bowed his hand, and made a gesture: "Minister Mu Changjin, I have seen the Night King." ”
Chu Huan nodded, "The prince doesn't have to be polite, who is this?" This man did not worship him, nor did he know whose son it was.
"This is my senior brother, Leng Yu." Mu Changjin said.
Leng Yu is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has never used the courtesy in the court, and he only does the same thing as Mu Changjin.
"I see, this king is lucky, he can get the help of two sword masters, it seems that this trip will be a complete victory."
"The prince has a good reputation."
This Night King is really a man of few words, and on the way to the outskirts of the city, he hardly said a few words, and the only word he said was that the pathfinder reported the road conditions, and he replied: Uh-huh.
Except for well, there is really nothing else, Mu Changjin probably knows the reason why the emperor doesn't like him......
Li Le held the brush in his hand, leaned against his chin and looked at Mu Changjin's empty seat, why didn't Mu Changjin come suddenly? I haven't heard anything about Zhongyong Houfu?
"Li Le, what are you looking at?" Xue Yin dangled a book in front of Li Le's eyes, half of his body was leaning on Li Le's table, Li Le came back to his senses and couldn't help but retreat.
"What are you doing?" Li Le said with a frown.
"I'm looking at you." Xue Yin has no face and no skin. "It's you, who are you looking at? Why, is it that Mu Changjin didn't come, and your heart is not settled? ”
"Xue Yin, you're okay looking for trouble, aren't you? He said something boring. ”
She was just curious if there was something going on in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.
"I'm justified, okay! Who told you to keep staring at the place where Mu Changjin was doing, hey, I said Li Le, do you want to know what Mu Changjin did? ”
"You seem to know." Li Le said disdainfully.
Xue Yin didn't get angry when he saw that she was disdainful, but he was full of wisdom, because he really knew where Mu Changjin went.
Li Le looked at him proudly, and he also had some speculation in his heart.
Her father Li Linyuan was far away in the northern border to quell the chaos, and her brother also went with him, naturally there was no one in the court, and there was no news in their Hou Mansion, but the Hou Mansion of Anping was different, the Hou of Anping was a civil official, and whenever there was a little wind and grass in the court, the Xue family would definitely know, and of course Xue Yin would know.
Xue Yin asked her to talk, he must have some news and wanted to show off in front of him.
