Chapter 40: Misunderstanding (I)

Why did he go to Khitan and what he did when he went to Khitan, Li Muyun didn't say a word.

And Li Yuan's little old man seemed to be fine, and after watching a fight, he continued to do what he should do.

The two brothers, Chen Mu and Chen Huo, who were severely beaten, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so they helped each other back to the 'board house' in the mountain behind them, took off their clothes and looked at each other, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Chen Huo was knocked unconscious before he could do anything, so he looked much stronger than Chen Mu, only his chest and calves were a little bruised, and Chen Muke, who was pressed by Li Muyun and had been poisoned for a long time, was much more miserable.

I saw that the waist ribs, armpits, the inside of the upper arms, the inside of the knees, and other places under the clothes were all bruised, and there was a pinprick-like feeling immediately under the light touch.

"This, this is too ruthless, isn't it? All of them go to the most vulnerable areas of their bodies! Chen Huo exclaimed when he saw his eldest brother's injury, and at the same time, his face changed color.

Chen Mu grinned bitterly: "That's not bad, at least people don't really start at the critical position, these places are places that don't hurt or itch, just raise them for a few days." ”

"But even so, you can't be so ruthless, right?" Chen Huo said angrily.

However, Chen Mu was obviously the opposite of his attitude, lying on the couch and said: "This is already the consequence of the mercy of other people's subordinates, at least he didn't move the black knife, and he didn't greet the vital point, well, at least he didn't slap his face!" ”

"Then ......, is that all? Big brother, are you beaten in vain? Chen Huo roughly heard the meaning of the eldest brother's words, and he was a little incredulous.

Chen Mu, who was lying on the couch, stared at his younger brother for a while, then sat up grinning, motioned for Chen Huo to bring a bowl of water, and then said in a casual voice: "When will this temper of yours be changed?" Didn't you notice that even the Emperor didn't care much about him? Our task is to protect the Emperor, and the Emperor doesn't care what you do, show you? ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, we're not the savior, and we're not the magistrates of Shuozhou, no matter what kind of trouble that kid causes, we don't need to carry it, don't you understand?"

"Brother, I understand the reason, but I just can't stand that kid, isn't he just a dirt bun from the countryside, oh, it's great to be the righteous son of the emperor? I want to be the Hidden King ......"

"Shut up! Do you want to kill our whole family? Hearing the word Hidden King, Chen Mu shouted to stop Chen Huo.

King Yin, also known as King Xi, is Li Shimin's nickname and title for him after Li Jiancheng's death.

This title was a taboo during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and it was about Li Er's murder of his brother and imprisoned father, and no one would mention it at all on weekdays, and he didn't even want to think about it.

So when Ah Huo lost his words because of a moment of anger, Chen Mu immediately stopped him.

Chen Huo also knew that he was a little speechless under the low voice of the eldest brother, and closed his mouth sneeringly, but he felt a little unwilling when he thought about it, and couldn't help but say again: "Brother, in fact, you should also understand that that kid really doesn't seem to be a good thing, if you can't get it, it's a spy sent by another country, if we accommodate him like this, won't we make trouble for ourselves?" So in my opinion, it's better to do nothing and keep ......."

"Second brother, I advise you to put away that unrealistic idea, follow the Emperor honestly, and protect the Emperor Taishang is the right thing." Chen Mu stretched out his legs and sat on the couch, glanced at the door, and saw that there was no one outside, so he continued: "You have also seen that kid's skills, how sure do you think the two of us brothers are against him?" Besides, do you think the emperor doesn't know that kid's suspicious origin? But the Emperor didn't say anything, so why should you make your own claims! ”

"I ......" Thinking of the thing that had just been slashed by Li Muyun in front of him, Chen Mu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and seemed to feel that he was not sure to deal with Li Muyun, but after following Chen Mu's words and thinking about it, Chen Lao Er suddenly felt that he seemed to have found something, and his eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and said: "Brother, you say, will that kid be the illegitimate son of the emperor?" ”

"It's hard to say this, the Emperor Taishang was born in Taiyuan, and this Shuozhou is near Taiyuan, do you think that the Emperor Taishang suddenly appeared here, and then suddenly recognized a righteous son, is this normal?" Chen Mu glanced at his younger brother, with indescribable disdain for his hindsight.

Chen Huo's pair of small eyes were wide open, as if he had heard some terrible news.

Chen Mu saw his expression like swallowing a fly, glared at him fiercely and said: "Just keep this matter in your heart, don't show it, if that kid has anything in the future, as long as the emperor doesn't speak, you will do as he says, do you hear?!" ”

"Listen, hear, but, but...... But how do we explain it on Your Majesty's side? ”

Chen Mu was a little worried about his younger brother's IQ, glared at him and said, "Explain a fart, it's just an illegitimate child, do you think Your Majesty will care?" ”

Yes, it's just an illegitimate child, even if he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors in the future, can he still go to the sky? His Majesty the Emperor is a master who even dares to kill his own brother, and he still cares about an illegitimate child who came out of nowhere? Obviously, this is not realistic.

After figuring out all this, Chen Huo felt a lot more relaxed, looking at the eldest brother sitting on the couch with an expression of admiration, stretching out a thumbs up, and making a gesture of a superior person.

……

Shuozhou assassinated the mansion, a fast horse rushed to the front of the mansion like the wind, a sturdy man jumped off the horse, and the three red feathers on his back were slightly raised with his movements, indicating the identity of the person who came.

The guards in front of the Assassin's Mansion had already seen the Red Feather Messenger galloping towards him from a distance, and before he could stop, someone had already galloped in, while the others hurried towards the messenger and took the tired foaming war horse from his hand.

"So that Lord Jun can be in the mansion?" The red-feathered messenger casually handed the horse to the guard, and asked as he walked inside.

"The Lord is in the house, and the villain leads the way for the adults!" The guards didn't know the identity of the Red Feather Messenger, but judging by his attitude towards his disdain, he vaguely guessed that his identity should be far above his own.

These guards guarding the gate are actually specially arranged, all of them have very high eyelids, who is coming, what kind of identity is it, in their eyes, they can basically see eight or nine.

After all, if someone comes to the house, generally speaking, they are the first to contact people, if they can't see the general identity of the person, and send the people who shouldn't be sent at will, will they lose their jobs, and if they provoke some big people who are in charge of private visits, causing the 'big officials' in the government to be angry, then it is called unlucky.

Therefore, in order not to arouse any ideas from some big people with special habits, most yamen will arrange one or two people with longer eyelids and can see the height of their eyebrows and eyes at the door.
