In the dungeon, there is no light here, and the dark and damp environment makes the prison history working here breathless, let alone the prisoners who are locked up in the prison.

In the cage of the felon, Mu Zhufeng looked at the bowl of food full of flies in front of him, and he couldn't eat it at all!

He rubbed his unkempt hair, his clothes were draped over his body, and because he hadn't eaten for a long time, he had lost a lot of weight, and even had little strength left to break free from the shackles.

He had been here for ten days, listening to the wailing and laughing every day and night, watching every day the men in prison uniforms be taken out and never returned, and he did not know when he was going to join them, perhaps it was only a matter of time.

He barely got to his feet and moved his limbs, and once again ran forward with all his might, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead water, and he could not move many steps at all, and fell heavily to the ground.

Another failure, which seemed to be an expected result, Mu Zhufeng sat on the ground and gasped for breath for a long time, then picked up the old bowl on the side and drank the few mouthfuls of water left in it thoroughly.

Looking at the top of the black cage, he closed his eyes, and the delicate face vaguely appeared in his mind. Her watery eyes, dense and slightly curled eyelashes, thin red lips, every detail is engraved in her mind, piecing together the appearance of love.

She must have received the letter of resignation, it wasn't the result she always wanted, was it? Mu Zhufeng smiled self-deprecatingly, to love someone is to let go, he let go, I don't know if the other party will still have his own figure in his heart?

Footsteps came from far and near, and the man was coming in his own direction. Mu Zhufeng killed the spirit, is he going to ask for beheading today?

The dark yellow color that was incompatible with the surrounding environment appeared in Mu Zhufeng's eyes, the four-clawed python pattern on the hem of his clothes, and the emerald green jade wrench on his hand, which one was not a symbol of wealth and glory.

He didn't belong here, but here he was, and he looked indifferently at every longing, dry hand that stretched out of his cage, and listened to their feeble and mournful pleas. He sneered and walked all the way to his destination to see the man who had tried to kill him.

The prince looked at Mu Zhufeng condescendingly, his eyes full of disdain. He enjoyed the pleasure and trampled those who had bad intentions against him under his feet, and made them beg him to spare their lives in a low voice.

However, Mu Zhufeng did not do that, he always kept his head down, even if the prince stood in front of him, he did not raise his head, after all, he never intended to beg for mercy.

"What, have you tasted the bitterness? If you don't do it as a high general, you have to plot against the king. The crown prince paced back and forth in front of the prison, trying to stimulate the other party with words, "Now you look at yourself like this, this is the end of disobedience to this king, hahahaha!" ”

There were prisoners around echoing, shouting: "Long live His Royal Highness the Prince, long live His Royal Highness the Prince!" This made the prince feel even more fluttering when he heard it, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

As for Mu Zhufeng, he seemed to be deaf to what the prince said, which made the prince's heart suddenly feel unhappy.

"Aren't you going to beg this king for mercy! If you know that you are wrong, kneel down and kowtow to this king, and this king can also be given a light sentence! ”

"No, I don't." The three cold words spit out from Mu Zhufeng's mouth, completely angering the prince.

"It seems that you still don't know where you are now, okay, this king will naturally make you desperate! At that point, you have to beg for mercy! ”

After speaking, the prince flicked his sleeves and left, and the footsteps gradually faded away. Mu Zhufeng let out a long sigh after all, he breathed in the heavy air, and thought: If you can't be with the person you love in life, what's the point of living by yourself.

The prince returned to his palace violently, and slammed his fist on the carved gate, so frightened that the maids and eunuchs all knelt down and trembled, and did not dare to move.

Hmph, look at these obedient servants, this is the person his prince needs, he will not go to the west if he points to the east, he only needs to be a puppet to keep to himself, and he can naturally give them power and wealth.

Judging from Mu Zhufeng's performance in prison just now, he does have a heart of rebellion in his heart, and it is no wonder that he would do such a thing as cursing himself! Fortunately, it was discovered early to solve the trouble, if it is delayed a little longer, who knows what the consequences will be?

While the prince was thinking, one of his henchmen came to him and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Why are you here?" The prince was a little surprised, he didn't come because something happened.

The henchman smiled flatly, and arched his hand and said: "I came to find His Royal Highness the Prince, naturally I have information to tell you, it is better to ......" His eyes glanced in from time to time, and the prince quickly invited him in the door.

After the two sat down, the henchman spoke: "I just heard the latest news from the emperor, the rebellion in the northwest has broken out again, and now it is not enough to threaten it, and it has been blocked by the border guards, but if it is not calmed down for a long time, I am afraid it will be a hidden danger sooner or later." ”

"What you mean by this is that Prince Ben personally asks for an order to send someone to the northwest to suppress it, and then make a meritorious service?"

"That's exactly what it means!" The henchman nodded with satisfaction, "This news has not yet come, if His Highness doesn't want to wait until the emperor personally finds someone or is preempted by others, you must pay attention." ”

The prince rotated the jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand with two fingers, and said, "I understand what you mean, but no one in my hands is capable of doing this right now." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Mu ......"

The henchman suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sins, forgives the ministers for being stupid, you should not mention the name of this person, there are the eyes and ears of the prince." ”

The prince frowned displeasedly, raised his hand and said, "It's okay, you get up, only you can tell me such important information." ”

This henchman of his is also one of the people trusted by the emperor, and the prince often uses him to trick the emperor's words, and occasionally he can also bring some information to tell the prince, so that the prince can do things one step ahead, and often make meritorious contributions to this.

"Your Highness, the news has been brought in, and there is nothing else to do."

"Okay, let's go."

After the henchman left, the prince's heart was not calm, his fingers rhythmically tapped the rosewood tabletop, and he sighed with his head propped up.

Now that I think about it, if Mu Zhufeng is still there, what is this northwest rebellion, maybe it can be resolved within ten days of being out of the horse, and when the time comes, as long as I go together, I don't have to do anything, and it is still myself who enjoys the merit and fame.

The feeling of losing his right arm all of a sudden made the prince very uncomfortable, Mu Zhufeng was a good general that he had cultivated with great difficulty, and it was necessary to see that this kind of thing had happened when he had already taken shape.

What's more, now Xie Yutang is pressing forward step by step with the power of the King of Chu, and if he disposes of Mu Zhufeng, his strength will be weakened a lot; If he didn't deal with Mu Zhufeng, he would not be happy if he did that kind of thing to deal with himself.

After thinking about it, the prince finally decided, since there is no Mu Zhufeng, it is better to cultivate another Mu Zhufeng. Carving talents abound, and maybe there is a blue out of the blue that is better than the blue.

However, if it is necessary to select a person for the position of general all of a sudden, then the range of choices is also limited, and it is nothing more than in the barracks, so there are only a handful of people who are loyal to themselves and have outstanding abilities.

All of a sudden, the prince didn't have any particularly satisfactory candidates in his mind, not to mention that the more anxious he was, the more chaotic his mind became, and the prince only felt that he had a headache now, so he stopped thinking about it.

It's better to go directly to the barracks the next day, and then set up a series of selections, so that you can know who is suitable for the position of general, right?

At the moment, these thoughts are quite beautiful, the prince suddenly calmed down, he picked up the warm tea that the maid had just presented to him and drank two sips, and tried to imagine in his mind again and again in the future that he would drink and the new helper together.

However, it was only a few hours later, and a eunuch sent the news that made the prince suddenly angry - the king of Chu had appointed Xie Yutang to solve this matter, which means that the prince had no chance to make meritorious contributions.

Damn it! The prince violently pushed all the documents on the table to the ground to vent his anger, why did he forget this stubble, then Xie Yutang can take advantage of the danger of others and step by step?

He paced back and forth in his study, pinching the bridge of his nose to calm himself. Now it seems that he has found something more important than supporting a new general to take the throne, that is, to defeat Xie Yutang first.

When he supported Mu Zhufeng before, he was by suppressing Xie Yutang, which allowed Mu Zhufeng to win the emperor's sacred heart step by step, and then he had General Mu, who was dominating on the battlefield.

However, now that Xie Yutang is making a comeback and is "in cahoots" with the King of Chu, at this time, he supports a newcomer to the throne like this, and the emperor may not reuse him, and the position of general will be returned to Xie Yutang in front of his eyes, right?

Not really! The prince is angry and anxious, now he is racing against time, and he must get the position of general before Xie Yutang, but how to defeat Xie Yutang is another matter.

I think back then, it was still with Mu Zhufeng's force that Xie Yutang was forced to retreat, and now that he has nothing with his empty hands, what can he use to threaten Xie Yutang?

The prince thought about it, the reason why a person can be in a high position is just to have the trust of the emperor.
