Chapter 10: The Truth

"Wenzong He Muhan reigned for sixty-one years, and it was really peaceful at that time." Mu Baichuan said leisurely, his pure white beard trembling slightly.

He Nuo didn't know how many times he had been punished for copying "He Family Tree" and "Jinyang Kun Yulu", and nodded.

"That year's Qianran will be really lively, at that time, Zijin just became the crown prince, your father's status has risen, he is indeed a talented person, both civil and military, and has become a double champion." Speaking of this, Mu Baichuan paused slightly and looked at He Nuo.

He Nuo had already heard Mu Yanxi talk about this, so he wasn't much surprised at the moment. Mu Baichuan was slightly surprised when he saw He Nuo's calm expression.

This was the first time He Nuo saw a surprised expression on Mu Baichuan's face, but he didn't directly say that it was Mu Yanxi who told him.

Mu Baichuan paused, "You know that the top ten civil and military elites of the Qianran Society all have a chance to enter the Qianran Dungeon, and the twenty young talents, oh, no, it was nineteen that year, and your father alone accounted for two places." ”

Mu Baichuan is a human spirit after all, seeing He Nuo's expression, he understood after a little pondering, "Yanxi, this girl told you, right?" ”

He Nuo nodded, feeling like he had betrayed his friend.

"Then I won't be verbose, but I have two things that I have to tell you." Mu Baichuan's face finally became solemn.

"Your father may have been wronged... At that time, many people said that he attacked others, but I investigated afterwards, and those bystanders only saw his clothes and back, and did not see his face clearly in the dark, and blamed your father for being too dazzling at that time, and was watched by many people, and it was easy to think of him......"

He Nuo's heart pounded when he heard it, there was nothing more important than washing away his father's grievances.

"Later, it was found that your father who was in a coma was Zuo Xiangyu Shangzheng at that time, you also know this person, right? Before the death of Emperor Sizong He Zijin, his behavior was very suspicious, and then as soon as He Zijin died, he wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own, so his words at that time may not be believed now, did he find your father in a coma, or did he knock your father unconscious, and then use secret techniques to erase his memory? Then it is unknown. ”

Mu Baichuan gently patted He Nuo's shoulder, "You are still young, I didn't want to tell you these words so early, but the Qianran Dungeon can only be opened once in ten years, I hope you can go in this time and find out some truth." ”

He Nuo said, "I just had my birthday, and I am already fourteen years old, in our Jinyang, fourteen years old can be called a man, right?" Thank you Grandpa Mu for your trust, no matter how mysterious the Qianran Dungeon is, I will also break through. ”

"Good boy." Mu Baichuan was pleased to straighten the somewhat disheveled hair on He Nuo's forehead, "Keep that jade well, go ahead." ”

He Nuo stood there and didn't move.

"How?" Mu Baichuan asked.

"Didn't you just say you were going to tell me two things?"

Mu Baichuan patted his head, like a forgetful old man who suddenly remembered something, "Look at my memory!" ”

"That ......" Mu Baichuan's words have always been fluent and accurate, and the complicated situation just now was also clearly organized, but for some reason, it is now a little slurred.

"That...... What do you think of Yanxi? You're good brothers and sisters. After Mu Baichuan finished speaking, he tilted his head to the side.

He Nuo's face turned red instantly, and he said hesitantly, "Yes." ”

"That's good, that's good." Mu Baichuan hurriedly took over the conversation, "You have to take good care of your sister, don't let her be bullied." ”

He Nuo nodded, but there was a complicated feeling in his heart, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Then I'm leaving." He Nuo was a little dazed in his heart.

"Be careful on the road, by the way, tell your father that 'the day is ready.'" Bypassing this topic, Mu Baichuan's calm aura returned.

He Nuo suddenly thought, except for his precious granddaughter, I'm afraid there is nothing else that can disturb the mood of the old man in front of him, he seems to be so calm and far-sighted in everything he does.

"It's time to open?" He Nuo remembered that Mu Yanxi had also said this word to himself, and immediately asked, "What does that mean?" ”

"Just tell your father, and he'll understand." Mu Baichuan seemed reluctant to say more.

He Nuo was about to leave, when he heard the last words from Mu Baichuan behind him, "Be careful of Rongying..."

He Nuo stumbled, almost didn't stand firm, and his first reaction was that he was going to be angry with Mu Yanxi in Qianran and was known by Mu Baichuan, but after thinking about it carefully, he only told Mu Yanxi about this idea, and she shouldn't have said anything at this point, and listening to Mu Baichuan's voice was serious, not like the tone of persuading children not to be vindictive.

He Nuo finally stopped, didn't turn around to let Mu Baichuan see the expression on his face, and nodded, "Thank you Grandpa Mu." ”

On the way back, all kinds of thoughts rolled in He Nuo's mind, what happened in the Qianran Underground Palace that caused his father to be wronged? What does that ancient jade mean? What does Grandpa Mu mean when he is anxious to admit that he and Yanxi are brother and sister? And be careful about Rongying? He's a little kid, what's so scary.

The Flying Eagle Guard behind Rong Ying, He Nuo found that only this question he thought clearly, Rong Ying's adoptive father was Rong Qing, the great eunuch of the dynasty, and Rong Qing was the captain of the Flying Eagle Guard, one of the three major guards in Jinyang City.

"Anyway, the people of the Eagle Guard don't have any good things." He Nuo thought so.

On He Nuo's way back to himself from the Mu family around most of Jinyang City, it was necessary to give a brief explanation of Jinyang City.

Jinyang City is divided into four gates, Chengtian Gate, Chongyang Gate, Jiade Gate, and Longxing Gate. The first three gates were named by Emperor Gao He Qianran during his reign, but Longxing Gate was the change of the long night, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor He Qingcang took the lead in attacking the city from this gate, so he was named Longxing.

These four gates are firmly guarded by the dragon guards, and no other army can touch them.

The three major guards of Jinyang are - Long Xiangwei, Wu Dewei, and Flying Eagle Guard.

Long Xiangwei is firmly in the hands of Emperor He Muhan, most of Long Xiangwei are children of a family, although their combat effectiveness is not enough, but they are highly loyal and not easy to be bought. There are a total of 30,000 people in Longxiangwei, who are responsible for the garrison of the imperial city, and his status is transcendent.

In fact, this noble children's guard was both a need for entrapment and a consideration for the hostages, allowing the children to enter the duty to force their fathers and brothers to be loyal to the Empire. The treatment is above the army.

Wu Dewei is one of the four sons of Jinyang, Ningxiang Marquis He Jingxuan was founded single-handedly, the combat power is extremely strong, the guards can be promoted to 100 households, 1,000 households, the death of the army generals, allowing his burly and strong, martial arts and martial arts to replace his blood brothers. Wu Dewei has a total of 20,000 people, but his combat power is the strongest among the three guards.

The Marquis of Ningxiang was appointed as the lieutenant in the name of the marshal, but he was busy with official business, so the handling of specific affairs fell on the shoulders of the deputy lieutenant Zhao Mo.

The Flying Eagle Guard is responsible for transmitting information between the Imperial City and the outside world, supervising the duties, and the great eunuch Rong Qing is in charge, although there are only 5,000 people, they are all selected and good at assassination.

In order to meet the needs of checks and balances, these three guards formed their own military system, practiced on their own, and were not restrained by each other.

So this can explain why Rong Ying is so domineering, after all, the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, and the entire Flying Eagle Guard supports him, among the younger generation of Jinyang, there are really not many who dare to contradict him, and even some princes with ideas take the initiative to entrap him, in order to gain political capital for future promotions.

"It's time to open?" He Nuo remembered this strange term that Mu Baichuan said, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, he wanted to go home and ask his father well, he wanted to know all this.

Suddenly, He Nuo seemed to be hit by something in the back of his head, and suddenly remembered Mu Baichuan's sentence "Be careful of Rongying", but as soon as his eyes were dark, he didn't know anything.
