The night is deep and dewy, and the black magpie cries low. The surface of the stream and lake is calm like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest anger, and occasionally the crows and birds perch by, which can startle a thousand waves. Mu Jianran went out of the Mu Mansion at night to ensure that no one dared to walk out of the main gate, he was quite conspicuous in the dark night, and his limping appearance was him at a glance.

"Prince ......"

Mu Ruoying and Ling Er followed them all the way to Xihu, calculated the time, the prince will definitely come tonight, now that the situation is turbulent, the matter between Mu Jianran and his sister is so unclear, how can he be calm when he is suspicious by nature? When Mu Jianran arrived at the edge of the stream and lake, he saw a dark sail on the lake in the distance sailing towards the shore, Mu Ruoying glanced at Ling'er, and let Ling'er go to hide in the bushes that would not be noticed not far away, waiting for Chu Lingran to come and "save" Mu Ruoying's life.

"Prince, you want to save Weichen."

As soon as Mu Jianran boarded the boat, he bowed to the man sitting on the boat, and Mu Jianran should also understand how could this cunning and ruthless person who only had the country in his heart risk the world's disapproval to help him intercede? He probably thought that tonight the prince "took the initiative" to ask himself, and things would take a turn for the better.

"Didn't this happen for a long time?"

He Mujiu even thought that this matter had nothing to do with Mu Jinghong, now it seems that it is just a trouble caused by Mu Jinghong's unsuccessful son for him, it is really a waste of his time to guide this useless person, he originally kept Mu Jianran thinking that he could threaten her with her brother in the future, and now it seems that this Mu Mansion does not have to be royal to be any better, seeing that his brother's career is ruined, he is like an outsider who looks down on the situation, this woman makes people more vigilant, but he wants to have it no matter what......

Ling'er saw the unusual fluctuations on the river, and knew that it was Qingfeng and Chu Lingran who came, she followed Mu Ruoying's instructions, and made a trivial sound left by accidentally stepping on a dead branch, which really alarmed the two people who were leaning on the shore of the lake to conspire about things, the prince appeared from the boat in an instant and took down Mu Ruoying, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark night, but for a moment, Mu Ruoying knew that this person's martial arts could not be underestimated.

This palace is really interesting, when he was a child, it was rumored that the frail and sickly prince who lived to be thirty-five years old had such amazing martial arts, as for He Qiyu, who was indisputable with the world, no one should know better than Mu Ruoying. These two princes are jealous... plotted, waited for his father to step down, and staged a farce that had been chatting for decades.

"It's ...... you"

He Mujiu finally saw Mu Ruoying's face clearly, under the impulse of Fang Cai, he had the idea of strangling the eavesdropper, no one could stop the implementation of his plan, so he was willing to do whatever it takes, even if it was more human life.

"I saw that my brother didn't go to bed late at night, didn't know which lover to tryst with, and thought that the big wedding was coming, and he couldn't have any more trouble, so I followed all the way, and I didn't think about it... It turned out that the crown prince had an attempt on my Mu Mansion. ”

Mu Ruoying looked at the slight float in the bushes in the distance, and knew that Chu Lingran had arrived, and he was waiting... If the prince deliberately wanted his own life, he would never ignore it, but even if the prince let himself go today... He would never leave Mu Ruoying alone in the capital in Longtan Tiger's Den, it was better to keep it by his side. Mu Ruoying calculated Chu Lingran's thoughts, so she deliberately arranged today's big drama as his temporary gift.

"Lord Rong'an is so courageous, but he is not thoughtful enough, you say... What can you do now? ”

Mu Ruoying could feel He Mujiu's hands slowly exerting force, pinching his throat little by little, he was testing how far he would beg for mercy, seeing Mu Ruoying's fearless and flat face, he was even more angry, and unconsciously deepened his strength. Mu Ruoying was pinched by him and couldn't put on her breath, and began to struggle and signal Chu Lingran, she didn't want to make trouble to this point, but now in this situation, no matter what... The prince's life must not be spared.

Fang was still thinking about it, the force in his throat was slowly loosened, and before Mu Ruoying could react, a strong smell of blood filled his nasal cavity, and the person behind him held his severed pulse with both hands, and whimpered in disbelief, so that he couldn't do it but was overwhelmed and beat Mu Ruoying's back, Mu Ruoying turned around, only to see He Mujiu who fell in a pool of blood, and Mu Jianran, Mu Jianran was choked by Chu Lingran alive, and his eyes were wide and looking into the distance, The tragic situation of death made Mu Ruoying feel nauseous, but He Mujiu was not much better, he was still struggling, waiting for time to slip away from his side minute by minute, looking at death or Chu Lingran's face with his own eyes, he looked at it in disbelief, but he couldn't say a word, he tried to stand up and wanted to escape, but he couldn't take a step, his blood was almost gone, and his life was finally over. The life that was full of pain, with the longing for his mother and the hatred of the emperor, but had to linger... It's finally gone.

"Ying'er, you shouldn't be so willful."

Mu Ruoying felt that Chu Lingran was angry with her, and saw Qingfeng pacing outside her tent at night, so she had a hunch that Mu Ruoying had some plans for him today, and sure enough, after using him, even the generals around her could be used, she knew that she didn't want to put her in such a dangerous situation no matter what, so she simply looked for a more dangerous situation, so that she couldn't refuse to take her to Dongying, right?

"Chu Lingran, no matter what, even if it is climbing, I will climb to Dongying. Your country, without my help, is not right, and your words are not good. I don't want to sit in the capital and wait for my sweetheart to triumph, I should be called the lord of a country. ”

Chu Lingran naturally knew that she couldn't persuade that stubborn woman no matter what, no one could go against her made up her mind, if she had, she would also use all the tricks to make the story go in the direction she wanted, and the bet was nothing more than his reluctance to him.

"What are you going to do now?"

Mu Ruoying took the lead in breaking the silent resistance of her and Chu Lingran, since the wood was already in the boat, Mu Ruoying naturally believed that Chu Lingran had a way to hide the matter of the prince's murder. As for how to do it, it depends on how many means Chu Lingran has......

"You still have He Mujiu's finger marks on your body, when the time comes, you just need to say that He Mujiu is strong against you, Mu Jianran wants to protect you, and he was killed by the prince, you killed him with a sword, but it is still impossible to escape death."

"Who will believe the story of Mu Jian's protection of me?"

This story is full of loopholes, to put it bluntly, it's just a story for the emperor that can be solved, but the persuasiveness of this story is not high, Mu Jianran and her flesh and blood relationship, since Mu Jianran's attitude after Mu Jianran's crime that day, it can be seen that Mu Jianran will never protect her sister with her life.

"As long as you and the bodies of the two men are placed in front of the emperor together, it doesn't matter if there is a flaw in the story, when the time comes, I will send someone to present the evidence of the prince's collusion inside and outside the past two years, supporting the army and respecting himself, as for Mu Jianran, how long do you think the emperor will keep him? It's just that if you leave the capital at this time, the emperor can relax his vigilance against me and confront Mu Jinghong with all his heart. ”

It turned out that Chu Lingran knew the prince's movements over the years, and he didn't need to remind him at all, what the prince had done over the years, if the emperor knew, he would naturally not know who killed his prince, there was no successor to the country, and he hated He Qiyu's mother to such an extent, he was unwilling to pass on the country to He Qiyu, but if it fell into the hands of Mu Jinghong, it would be even more impossible, Chu Lingran actually calculated it so far, and he was really scheming.

"If you take this fake death pill, you will fall asleep for three days, and when you wake up after three days, we should have already set off for Dongying."

The capital was mourned, the whole country quit marrying, drinking, ceremonial music in March, heard a scandal in the palace, the prince remembered the beauty of the lord of Rong'an for a long time, so he pretended to be Mu Jianran's tone and wrote a letter to meet Xihu, but unfortunately the matter was revealed, so he was angry and killed the two brothers and sisters of the lord of Rong'an and Mu Jianran, and the lord of Rong'an killed the prince under a sword in order to protect himself. Many stories in the whole capital have not been so ups and downs, and the people love Mu Ruoying, so on the day of the scandal, there were riots, and the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to suppress them, but they were overwhelmed by refugees who poured into the capital, demanding justice for the lord of Rong'anguo.

"Miss, you're awake, you've been asleep for four days!"

Mu Ruoying's eyes were difficult to open in an instant because they had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, she could only rely on her gradually recovering intuition and memory to remember that she had taken the fake death medicine given by Chu Lingran four days ago and no longer had any feeling of being alive, and she felt the bumps in the carriage to prove that they... Have you already gone to Dongying and left the capital? Mu Ruoying hadn't drunk a drop of water for four days, and now her throat was so dry that she couldn't say a word, she could only make a monosyllabic struggle, and before Ling'er could react, someone rushed into the carriage and hugged her tightly, Mu Ruoying felt the rise and fall of her chest in pain, so obviously beating violently, that warmth was exclusive to Chu Lingran.

"I've never tried this fake death pill, but when I visited the Western Regions, I met an old man who was a family everywhere, he saw that I had been fighting all my life, but I was desolate and lonely, and rewarded me with a few life-saving pills. Ying'er, if you don't wake up again, I'm going to go back to the Western Regions to find him, do you know how much hesitation I've had in the past few days? ”

For Mu Ruoying, it was just a moment when she gradually regained consciousness when she woke up from a dream, and for Chu Lingran, it was a helplessness and panic about the unknown, Mu Ruoying naturally knew how afraid Chu Lingran was of losing her. Her perception had not fully recovered, but she used all her strength to pat Chu Lingran's back to stabilize his emotions, she was telling him that she would always accompany him and accompany him with her life.

It took half a day for Mu Ruoying's perception and body to fully recover, and the marching team had arrived at a town near the east, they were stationed in the camp to rest in the evening, Mu Ruoying and Ling Er were disguised as men and followed Qingfeng and Chu Ling to be small servants, except for their thin figures, they couldn't see anything else. In the camp tent at night, Ling Er made tea for Chu Lingran, He Qiyu and Mu Ruoying, so she didn't bother, leaving the three of them alone to discuss military affairs in the camp tent.

"Marta sent a letter a few days ago, he has successfully brought back the people of Fuwan who fled to the capital and the four borders, and they are now sniping in Fuwan, waiting for the next invasion of the Dongying people. As for the princess of Dongjiang, she should have suffered a lot of humiliation in the general's tent now... I had planned to rescue her tonight, but I didn't think Ling Ran was a good negotiator. ”

He Qiyu thought very thoughtfully, this march, the road was full of blood and tears after the death of the princess of Dongjiang, even if we saved her today, the humiliation in her heart would not be less than half a point, how could the hatred for Chu Lingran be consumed because she saved herself? The only one who can negotiate with her calmly is Mu Ruoying.

"I'll go."

The three of them ran to the camp of the iron cavalry general after leaving the general's tent, that person had always been unhappy with Chu Lingran, and he couldn't help Chu Lingran to be one level higher than him in terms of identity and martial arts, so he never liked to camp in Chu Lingran's circle, and he was afraid of how much punishment he would get after the incident of the princess of Dongjiang.

"What's wrong with you! I haven't had a smile since I went out with the army! It's been so many years since the country died, and it's still so unwilling. ”

The iron cavalry general knew that he had taken the initiative to be rude to the prince of Dongjiang by the faint light of the woman in the camp tent and the fierce face reflected in the bright moonlight outside the city, and he knew that he was not a person who cherished beauty by looking at his face in the Jingxiu Pavilion before, and if this princess was in his hands for a few more years, I am afraid that his name would not be preserved.

"I am the seventh princess of Dongjiang, Shangguan Lixiu, not your plaything, didn't you take me to my homeland on this expedition, didn't you want to humiliate me?"

"You know very well, I just want you to see how heroic your man is, and with a straight sword, your father's head will be hung on my Xuanwu Gate, and our useless scholar general only knows how to talk about useless military tactics in the camp tent all day long."

They listened to the truth outside the tent, and they were such arrogant generals, and no one was so far in their eyes. Chu Lingran never allowed any mistakes in his military camp, but he left such a scourge, it seems that after today, there will be no more names in the world as iron cavalry generals.

"Ben didn't know... The Iron Cavalry General's art of war is so wonderful? Perhaps, I don't know what the general really did wrong, I really regret it, I didn't hang your head on the Xuanwu Gate, and show me the 300,000 troops of He Country what military law is like the sky. ”

Chu Lingran's voice came into the ears of the two people in the tent through the fabric, the wind swept, the curtain was hung high, Chu Lingran's figure was completely outlined outside the tent, he was like a judge from hell at the moment, and no one could help but refute his majesty, otherwise the next moment, that person would be only one step away from death......
