When Qin Mu heard that his brother was going to be beheaded, Huo Ran got up and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

The man hurriedly settled down on what he had heard and said in detail: "Your Highness, the government has posted notices in the prefect's yamen and all over the city, saying that the eldest prince, as the prefect, colluded with bandits, bent the law for bribes, and disregarded people's lives, and will be beheaded on the street in three days. And let the general sentence Ma Bangde temporarily act as the prefect, and he will be officially promoted in the future. ”

"How can it be!" Qin Mu was furious when he heard this, and slapped his palm heavily on the stone table in front of him, and a crack appeared on the stone table in an instant.

Everyone was taken aback by his angry look.

In my impression, although this master is young, he has always been calm, and he has never had such a gaffe, and he knows that he is angry and anxious at this time.

Qin Mu quickly calmed himself down after turning around in place for a few moments, and thought for a while: "Continue to inquire about the news, and report any situation in the government immediately." ”

The man was commanded to depart in a hurry.

"This is because the government can't get me, and they want to take my eldest brother to blame. I thought that my trick of the golden cicada would save my eldest brother from death, but who knew that this official government was still so cruel and unkind, it really deserved to be killed! ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the fact that he had killed the two Iron Eagle Warriors, and it must have been the Black Ice Platform that hated him, so he let the eldest brother take the blame regardless of what happened.

originally wanted to protect his eldest brother, so he deliberately left such a big flaw, but he didn't expect to hurt his eldest brother in the end, just like throwing his eyes to a blind man, and all his hard work was in vain.

And that Ma Bond is the real damned, not only is he not guilty, but he has been promoted, which is simply unbelievable and unbearable.

"Bring me the map." Qin Mu calmed down and said in a deep voice.

The white-faced Confucian took out a parchment map from his bosom and spread it out on the stone table, and everyone gathered in a circle to look at the map.

Qin Mu's gaze searched the map, quickly locked on a place, pointed at that place with his finger and said in a deep voice: "This is it." Three days later, troops were sent to attack here, and the movement was to be large, and after the local garrison was transferred, the city was empty at that time, and another army of men and horses entered the city to save people. ”

The white-faced Confucian student's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Highness, this matter looks a little strange. ”

Everyone looked at him, and the white-faced Confucian stroked the long beard under his chin and said, "First of all, according to His Highness, the Black Ice Platform has obtained evidence that the Blue Dragon Gang bribed Ma Bangde and others, and Ma Bangde and related personnel have been imprisoned. No matter how you look at it, this Ma Bond is inevitably dead. But now Ma Bond is not only fine, but also wants to be promoted, which is extremely unreasonable.

Second, after the eldest prince woke up, he didn't know the inside story, and he must be very resentful of His Highness's imprisonment of himself, and he would definitely give up all his losses.

Even if he doesn't say it, with the brutality of the Black Ice Platform and a little trick, the eldest prince will quickly say everything. After the government knows about this matter, it will definitely draw a picture and want His Highness according to common sense. But now there is no news about His Royal Highness, but he wants to behead the eldest prince, which is obviously unreasonable.

Therefore, in my opinion, I am afraid that this is a trap deliberately set by the government to lure His Highness to show up with the eldest prince. ”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was silent for a moment and then said, "What the military advisor said is not unreasonable. Although I don't know if the government is really aware of my relationship with my eldest brother, and whether it really intends to use my eldest brother to lure me to show up, I must also save my eldest brother. I had no choice. ”

Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

The white-faced Confucian was silent for a moment and then sighed: "The government is a yang scheme, if Your Highness goes to save it, you will fall for the tricks of the government." If His Royal Highness doesn't save him, then I'm afraid the government will really behead the eldest prince. Your Highness is really embarrassed. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Qin Mu, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Looking at the tangled look on Qin Mu's face, the white-faced Confucian felt a slight movement in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you want to win the world, it is inevitable to shed blood and sacrifice. If the eldest prince is unfortunately killed, it may be fate, and His Royal Highness sometimes needs to look away. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the man named Qi Heihu was just about to open his mouth to speak, but he was covered by General Ma next to him and shook his head at him.

Everyone heard that the military advisor was persuading His Highness not to save the eldest prince.

And there was a layer of obscure meaning that was not spoken, but everyone understood it.

The eldest prince and His Royal Highness are both royalty, and the two are brothers. If the eldest prince dies, then no one will compete with His Highness for the throne in the future.

Regardless of whether the eldest prince means that or not, but after all, he is the eldest son, and the eldest son has a natural advantage many times, which cannot be ignored in any case.

After the white-faced Confucian finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, waiting for Qin Mu to make his own decision.

Saying it once can be regarded as a warning, but if you say too much, it will become a fallacy that divides the feelings of the master and the brothers.

Qin Mu pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head firmly and said in a deep voice: "I understand the sincerity of the military advisors and the generals. But after all, my eldest brother and I are siblings, and I have not been able to live with him for so many years, if he dies because of me today, it will be difficult for me to settle down in this life. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, if we want to finally succeed and regain the glory of our ancestors, my eldest brother and I must live. This is the matter that has been decided, and you can go down and prepare. ”

When everyone heard this, although they were a little disappointed in their hearts, they didn't know why they felt a kind of steadfastness.

Maybe I think that such a loving and righteous master is worth following, otherwise if he faces the same situation that day, he will not become the one who is abandoned.

Only the white-faced Confucian student's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said: "Your Highness has deep brotherhood and open-mindedness, I admire it!" ”

Qin Mu waved his hand, causing everyone to disperse, and he sat alone at the stone table and pondered.

…………

At the gates on all sides of Jeju Fortress, officers and soldiers checked the entry and exit of passengers.

The previous order strictly prohibiting entry and exit has been changed, and Jiang Chuan feels that if he wants to succeed in fishing, he must let go of the city gate, creating the appearance that the government is ready to close the case, otherwise the fish will not be hooked easily.

At each city gate, in addition to the men and horses of the local garrison, there are also people from the Black Ice Platform holding portraits and observing the flow of people entering and leaving.

At the West City Gate, a small flag on the Black Ice Platform with two people is guarding here, glancing at the portrait in his hand from time to time and then looking at the pedestrians entering and leaving.

Although entry and exit are allowed, the baggage of every pedestrian, and even the goods on the carriage, must be carefully inspected.

As a result, the speed of entry and exit naturally slowed down, and a long queue formed at the city gate.

Although many of the people in the queue complained in their hearts, they dared not speak out when they looked at those officers and soldiers with loaded guns.

The little flag officer did not inspect it himself, the inspection was carried out by the officers and soldiers, he only focused on observing those who were going to line up to leave the city.

Suddenly, his gaze froze at the man at the back of the line to leave the city.

The man was wearing a hat, carrying a burden, and wearing a short cloth coat, looking like a very ordinary running river, and there was nothing to attract attention.

What caught the attention of the little flag officer was that this person was constantly looking left and right in the team, and he felt that his body was always tense, and he looked like he was about to run at any time.

Immediately attracted the attention of the little flag officer, he quietly made a gesture behind the back of the two subordinates behind him, and pointed in the direction of the person.

The two subordinates understood, pretending to approach the man unintentionally.

Before the two could get closer, the man suddenly burst out of the group, turned around and ran backwards.

The two hurriedly chased after them, and the single-edged sword at their waists was instantly unsheathed, and they shouted: "Thief, don't run!" ”
