In fact, the moment she saw Chengying, Mu Hongshang guessed that this might be Zheng Ying's sword. Zheng Ying walked without a sound, she had already discussed with her brothers at home, this prince who seemed to behave very elegantly, may be a master.

"Just take it." Zheng Ying shook her head and stuffed Chengying to Mu Hongshang again, "This is my sword, but I hardly have a chance to use it in my daily life." ”

"No, no," Mu Hongsheng shook his head again, "Your Highness will go to Fengzhou, it will take more than ten days on the road, and you won't take the official road, and there are many deserted paths like Qinglian Mountain Road on the road, how can you not have weapons beside you." ”

"I am King Xin of the Great Zhou." Zheng Ying couldn't help but chuckle, "Even if you take a deserted path, there are more than a few people in front of you." If it were along the way, if I really encountered a situation that required my help, then these people would have died long ago. These well-trained guards can't stop the enemy, what can I do even if I have a sword by my side? ”

Sounds so reasonable. Mu Hongsheng looked at Zheng Ying in a daze, feeling that this person was simply too good at talking, and the reasons he found out were impossible to refute.

"That's not necessary." Mu Hongshang still shook his head stubbornly, "I really don't need a sword, I have a lot of weapons at home, I will find a random one to use first, and when the eldest brother comes back from Zhending Mansion, I will ask him to find me a Tang knife again." ”

"You need it very much." Zheng Ying took a step forward, stared at Mu Hongsheng's eyes, and said with something in her words, "All the way to Beijing, there are still two hours to go, how many guards did your Mu family bring out?" ”

Mu Hongsheng reacted immediately, she turned her head to look at Xie Shurou who was sitting on the edge of the cliff, and frowned slightly, "It's impossible to intercept and kill, right?" After all, this is Gyeonggi, so blatantly it will alarm many people. In my opinion, it is foolproof to do things on the horse, and if it weren't for Sister Xie's luck and happened to be with us, she would never have escaped at the moment. ”

"Not necessarily." Zheng Ying immediately shook her head, "If there is only the Xie family, she really can't escape, and the horse in question has also fallen off the cliff, I guess it will be difficult for the Xie family to find it, and it will be considered a death without proof." But that's not the case right now, you're here, your third aunt is here, she's survived, and you find out that there's something wrong with the horse, and you can all be circumstantial evidence. The daughter of the Xie family was murdered for no reason, do you want Xie Xiang to give up? In such a situation, if you don't do two things, it is not a loss, and you can't cover it. ”

"They ......" Xie Shurou, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth in a dumb voice, "Will they want to kill us all." ”

"Heh......" Zheng Ying sneered, "Kill the wife of General Zhenbei and the only daughter of An Guogong together, you ask who dares in this Manjing?! But if the wife of General Zhenbei and the princess of An Guo are moved, this is not just a matter of the Mu family's endless revenge, it will definitely cause the wrath of his father. At that time, there is no need for the Mu family to take revenge with their own hands, and the father will definitely order a thorough investigation and punish the nine clans behind the scenes. ”

Zheng Ying's words were not very polite, he was actually telling Xie Shurou bluntly that although her grandfather Xie Xiang was a prime minister, their Xie family was just a chess piece that could be discarded casually in the eyes of the emperor.

But the Mu family guarding the northern border is different, the emperor may turn a blind eye to the murder of the Xie family's concubine because of power checks and balances and other reasons, but the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate someone trying to murder the family of the Mu general.

The Mu clan guarding the northern border of the Great Zhou is the real importance in the emperor's heart, and the emperor does not allow anyone to cross him and plot against the head of the Mu clan.

These words fell on the ears of Xie Shurou, who was a member of the Xie family, and it should have been very harsh, but for some reason, after Xie Shurou listened to Zheng Ying's answer, she was strangely relieved.

She has no other wishes at the moment, as long as she doesn't continue to drag Mu Hongshang down. Her life was saved by Mu Hongsheng, if she went all the way back to Beijing and dragged down this little girl again, wouldn't it be revenge? !

Xie Shurou sat on the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Zheng Ying and Mu Hongsheng, who were not far away, didn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to her.

"In this way, the journey back to Beijing is safe." After thinking about it, Mu Hongshang said, "According to His Royal Highness, the person who attacked Sister Xie would not dare to provoke our Mu family no matter what. ”

"That's right." Zheng Ying nodded, "But you and Mrs. Mu San just went to Jinghui Temple to offer incense, and they must not have brought too many guards, if they want to attack the Xie family and daughter on the road, I am only worried about accidental injury." Originally, I was supposed to escort you back to Beijing, but if I personally escorted you, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. Not to mention, this Xie daughter is my brother's 'favorite person' at the moment, and I must avoid suspicion. ”

This is actually disgusting her?! Xie Shurou felt that she understood Zheng Ying's words. If there was only Mu Hongsheng, he would personally escort Mu Hongsheng back to Beijing, but unfortunately there was such an eye-catching Xie daughter as her, so Zheng Ying had to avoid suspicion.

Hehehe. Xie Shurou couldn't help but complain in her heart, but thank you, stay away from our little red clothes! The killer on the road will not take Mu Hongsheng's life casually, compared to the killer, King Xin is more dangerous, right? We must not let this thoughtful male partner have the opportunity to be courteous in front of the red dress!

"I'll be careful," Mu Hongsheng nodded, "Your Highness, don't worry, I know it in my heart, and I don't need an escort." ”

"It's that again." Zheng Ying began to frown again: "Right now, I have a headache as soon as I hear you say this." Back to the house, he said that he 'knew it in his heart', but that time he was not recklessly suspected. Chengying, you take it well, there may be any accidents along the way, if you don't have weapons on you, I can't rest assured. ”

"Something else." Mu Hongshang touched the back waist and took out a delicate little dagger, "Look, this is given to me by my eldest brother when I celebrate my birthday this year, it is very sharp, and I have always carried it with me." ”

"The dagger is a melee weapon," Zheng Ying shook her head and sighed, "How can I rest assured that you only hold this." ”

"But ......" Mu Hongsheng held Chengying, still a little hesitant, she still felt that it was better for Chengying to leave it to Zheng Ying. After all, she only has a short way back to Beijing, and Zheng Ying has to go all the way to Fengzhou!

"Obedient!" Zheng Ying's face was flat, "Put away Chengying, you can't do without a blade." ”

"Then ......" Mu Hongshang hesitated for a moment, and finally stuffed his small dagger into Zheng Ying's hand, "This is for you, you can't be without a blade." ”
