The plan was something that King Chu and Xie Yutang had discussed in the palace before.

"This king will definitely find a suitable opportunity for you to get back out of the mountain." Perhaps because there has been no major incident recently, coupled with the conspiracy, General Xie, a big man, has slowly faded out of the palace's field of vision. used to be a popular hot potato, but now there is not one out of ten people who mention him.

The king of Chu said: "This matter cannot be rushed, it must be done step by step, and this king will take the opportunity to arrange some things for you to make meritorious contributions." In this way, the reputation naturally goes up. ”

Xie Yutang nodded in agreement: "Everything is up to you." ”

"By the way, if that incident is as you said, then I'm afraid that after the prince knows that you are not dead, they will target you in the future, and you must be cautious. After all, there is no clear evidence against them, and this king is helpless to deal with it directly. ”

The prince is ambitious, and he can't wait to open Xie Yutang, and he doesn't know when he will be next. The king of Chu knew that he could not be silent any longer, but the time had not yet come, and he could not act rashly.

Xie Yutang said: "Okay, I'll pay attention." ”

But before the plan was implemented, Xie Yutang had always wanted to find an opportunity to give Mu Zhufeng a dismount. Sometimes, he has to take the initiative to attack, otherwise he will let himself be so openly and secretly calculated by him?

It was also a coincidence, but I didn't expect that the dispute between Feng and Tang just gave the two a chance to meet, although Xie Yutang didn't have much fluctuation on his face, but he didn't know how excited he was.

Especially when he saw Mu Zhufeng's expression of fear of him, he felt that the unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart was released a little, and he was even more sure that Mu Zhufeng was indeed involved in the assassination of himself.

After that, the king of Chu immediately arranged an easy errand for Xie Yutang - training the forbidden army. There has been no war recently, and if Xie Yutang, as a general, can train and improve the ability of the palace guards, it will be a good thing that the forbidden army can't ask for.

Xie Yutang is also diligent, and he gets up with the forbidden army on the fifth watch every day for morning exercises. Defense, sword dancing, attack, there are a lot of everything, it can be said that you do your best. Many maids passing by would say a few words: "General Xie is really hardworking." ”

As for someone who would say the boiling disappearance that was rumored before, the king of Chu pressed back under the pretext of being unwell. Gradually, those things that had happened faded out of people's heads, and everyone was full of praise when they mentioned Xie Yutang now.

At this time, Mu Zhufeng returned to his house, he locked himself in the study, sat down in front of the table, and held his head in annoyance.

Today, he and Xie Yutang are facing each other on the road. One was dressed in a navy blue robe with white trim and dark stripes of bamboo leaves, which complemented the token at his waist; One was dressed in armor, sweating profusely on his forehead, his hair sticking to his sideburns, and he was panting for breath. At first glance, he had just finished practicing and was ready to go back to his life.

The two didn't seem to have any estrangement, and even stopped to say hello and greet each other.

"General Mu has also been free recently, and he is willing to come to the palace for a walk." Xie Yutang said with a smile.

Mu Zhufeng also didn't smile, and said bluntly in his own thick voice: "I naturally enter the palace because of something, but General Xie has been working very hard to train the forbidden army recently, so I need to pay more attention." ”

Xie Yutang hugged his fist and said, "Thank you General Mu for your concern." ”

Subsequently, it seemed that neither of them wanted to stay with the other any longer, so they each found an excuse to leave. There was an intriguing look in the eyes of both of them, and they knew more or less in their hearts.

didn't die, Xie Yutang didn't die, although he had such a guess in his heart, he just felt that Xie Yutang was either dead or injured, but he never thought that he would stand in front of him completely, and he couldn't even find any wounds on his body.

Mu Zhufeng recalled the glance at him, ruthlessly with doubts, which made him even more unhappy in his heart. In the barracks, everything he has done has aroused Xie Yutang's suspicions, and he is exposing his crimes step by step, and Xie Yutang is like a puzzle. If I don't kill him in time, I'm afraid that it will be me who will lose my life in the end.

Mu Zhufeng thought to himself: If I stop now, the gains outweigh the losses. Things have developed to this point, and the only way to continue to attack him in the future can we have a chance to make up for the regret of not killing him last time.

What's more, according to those Deadpools, he was obviously stabbed twice. No matter what the panacea is, more than ten days have passed now, and the wounds on the body are good but may not heal.

This can be seen from Xie Yutang's walking posture, which doesn't seem to be a big deal at first glance, but if you pay close attention, you will find that he puts his weight on his right leg when he walks. Because the left leg is injured and cannot exert force, this will reduce the weight on the left leg.

If that's the case, then it's all too easy to hurt him again. I don't know what Mu Zhufeng thought of, he was about to go home, he suddenly turned around and followed Xie Yutang's footsteps.

Xie Yutang returned to the place where he trained the forbidden soldiers, today's work has ended, he just came back from his return to collect his things and leave, and accidentally heard a few forbidden soldiers discussing.

"Hey, did you participate in this year's Beijing Martial Arts Competition?"

"Of course, this is a good opportunity to participate, and if you perform well, you may even be able to raise my name."

"Ahem, if I hadn't reported it last year, last year's Wu Zhuangyuan would definitely be me, you see, my body is so strong,

This person is indeed a burly figure among the forbidden army, but when Xie Yutang stood behind him, the two of them were like big witches, and the forbidden army was like a miniature version of Xie Yutang, which could be said to be incomparable at all.

"What are you talking about, Martial Arts Competition, what is that?"

"General Xie, don't you know?" Two guards, you look at me, I look at you, but I was a little surprised, but I didn't expect Xie Yutang to know about the Martial Arts Competition.

"This martial arts champion competition is a contest about martial arts, the two compete with each other for strength, the winner enters the next round, and the loser naturally withdraws."

Xie Yutang thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be very interesting. ”

"If you can be among the best in the martial arts competition, maybe you can still get the emperor's attention, not to mention promotion, maybe you can become the emperor's personal guard in one fell swoop!"

Everyone wants to get into it, it seems that this martial arts champion competition is an opportunity for them, an opportunity to take themselves to the next level, and whether they can go up is in their own hands.

"Will General Xie participate?" The Forbidden Army asked curiously.

Xie Yutang was already very satisfied with his current situation, and thought that it was useless to continue to participate in this competition, so he said: "I won't participate, you ......."

As soon as the words fell, I only heard Mu Zhufeng's voice from behind: "I didn't expect General Xie not to participate in the martial arts competition, it's a pity." ”

Xie Yutang frowned, he really didn't like the source of this voice, not to mention that he seemed to have overheard himself. He turned to look at Mu Zhufeng unhappily and saw that he was holding the successful registration form for the Martial Champion Contest in his hand.

"The martial arts competition in the capital is a confrontation between people who practice martial arts, from generals to peasants, and even some organizations will come to participate. Did General Xie really want to miss such a great opportunity to test himself? That's a shame. ”

Agitating the general, listening to the tone of his voice Xie Yutang felt uncomfortable, especially when he took out the form, he was already clearly declaring war on himself.

"Sorry, I'm not very interested." Xie Yutang politely declined Mu Zhufeng's invitation, as soon as the previous matter was settled, he still wanted to live a stable life for a while.

Seeing that his target turned around and was about to leave, Mu Zhufeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, this martial champion competition is hosted in the name of the emperor, and General Xie is now the emperor's personal guard, how can he not participate?" ”

He looked at Xie Yutang with a questioning look and said, "Could it be that General Xie knows that he no longer has the ability to stay by the emperor's side, so he doesn't dare to participate?" ”

"You!"

Seeing Mu Zhufeng's smug and contemptuous expression, Xie Yutang endured the discomfort in his heart and said: "Since General Mu has said this, how can I miss this competition, don't worry, I will sign up in a while." ”

Xie Yutang thought to himself, since this Mu Zhufeng would take the initiative to come to the door for this matter, I am afraid that he did not have any good intentions. Look at what he wants to do to himself in this competition, maybe he can find the flaws in him in one fell swoop, and maybe break him.

"I think this competition must be a good opportunity for General Xie to try, and I will wait and see what General Xie will perform next." After that, Mu Zhufeng put away his things and flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, no longer looking at Mu Zhufeng.

Mu Zhufeng's plan was already half successful, and he finally said that Xie Yutang would participate in this competition, and then as long as he found the prince to go inside and outside, he would be able to quietly kill this person in the competition without realizing it.

So, Mu Zhufeng did not rush back to his mansion, but turned around and went to the prince's east palace. At this time, the prince was practicing martial arts in the garden, hooking and swords, swinging powerfully. It seems that he is not in a very good mood, most likely because he knows that Xie Yutang is not dead.

Hearing that Mu Zhufeng was coming, the prince put his sword back into its sheath and exhaled a long breath.
