Chapter Thirty-Eight: Secret Talks
Even though today's Chen Muzhi has the intelligence and wisdom of the seventeen-year-old Chen Muxi, Chen Muxi's insight cannot be known to everything.
Although his father led the troops to fight for many years, he strictly obeyed the law and never revealed the slightest talk about military affairs at home. Therefore, Chen Muzhi did not know how to use the Sea Shark Talisman.
"Mu Zhi asked a lot, uncle, have you seen the talisman of the East China Sea Division?" Chen Muzhi asked.
Zheng Mu knew that she would not ask like this for no reason, there must be some reason, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and said: "I only know that the East China Sea Division Talisman is different from other talismans. In the past, the talismans were all tiger talismans, but the talismans of the East China Sea Division were sea shark talismans, which were cast in pure gold and could be divided into two, one was in the emperor's place, and the other was carried by the generals who went out. After casting, the mold is destroyed on the spot, so it is unique and can never be copied. ”
Chen Muzhi asked again: "If you want to transfer troops, but you need to fit the two before it can take effect?" ”
There is a big loophole in this statement!
Even if the talisman is divided into two, how can Chen Muzhi know that the two are organically bracketed in the middle and need to be used together?
Zheng Mu's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mu Zhi, have you ever seen a talisman?" ”
Chen Muzhi didn't answer, but asked again: "Uncle, Muzhi dares to ask again, if the commander loses the talisman, what should he be guilty of?" ”
"Capital offense!"
"How long have my soldiers been missing in the war, and will the court consider them dead?"
"One year."
"The reason why my uncle said that my father's affairs may be used by others, is it related to the military talisman?"
This sentence is a sentence, and every sentence has a purpose.
Zheng Mu glanced at her deeply and said, "Every corner of the command ship has been searched, and there is no trace of the soldier talisman. ”
"Since the talisman needs to be combined to take effect, why is my father's sword so nervous?"
"It's a matter of court secrets, and I can't say much to you. Uncle can only tell you that the whereabouts of the talisman are as important as your father's life and death. ”
Chen Muzhi suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, he was afraid that the other talisman in the emperor's hand would also be gone!
Therefore, the imperial court searched for Chen Yu'an, firstly, out of morality for good generals, and more importantly, for the purpose of searching for military talismans. If both of the talismans fell into the hands of the enemy, the entire East China Sea Division of the Great Shun Dynasty would be completely out of control.
This is too terrible for the imperial court.
But this is an opportunity for Chen Muzhi.
As long as she doesn't tell the whereabouts of the soldier talisman, the imperial court will continue to search for Chen Yu'an, and Chen Yu'an will still be rescued.
Chen Muzhi was silent, the room was silent, and a needle could be heard clearly.
"Mu Zhi, my uncle also asked you, have you seen the talisman, haven't you?"
Zheng Mu stared at her eyes.
As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zheng Mu has read countless people, but whenever Chen Muzhi hesitates in his heart, Zheng Mu can catch the clue from her eyes.
Chen Muzhi was not afraid, and calmly met Zheng Mu's gaze.
"After I was discovered by my father, in order to protect me from being detected by others, my father transferred me to a portable boy, took me to the command ship, and ordered me not to leave him an inch. Only a few of my father's cronies knew my identity. I had been with my father all day, and I had naturally seen the talisman, but I didn't know it was so important at the time. ”
Zheng Mu was cautious, and asked again: "Do you know the whereabouts of the talisman?" ”
Chen Muzhi sighed: "After listening to my uncle today, I know that the talisman is so important, if I know, I will definitely tell my uncle." ”
Zheng Mu saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, and thought again, Mu Zhi has always been quick to talk, even if he has some scheming now, he will definitely not be confused in major matters. And he believed her.
"In short, if you think of anything, you must first tell your uncle that you must be cautious in everything, and you can no longer be as open-mouthed as before."
"Uncle, don't worry, Mu Zhi understands."
Chen Muzhi responded firmly, but thought in her heart: Uncle is the only person she can trust. is also a person she must never implicate.
The reason why she couldn't tell her uncle was because she didn't want him to bear the charge of "not reporting the knowing".

The old people nap and sleep less heavily. Zheng Mu and Chen Muzhi were still talking in front, and the old lady had already woken up.
Zheng Cunfang was playing anagrams, and as soon as she heard the movement, she immediately put it down, and went over with the maid to help the old lady up.
"Did you make a rose steamed cake in the kitchen?" The old lady suddenly remembered and asked the maid beside her.
"Yes, you told it in the morning." The maid returned.
"Mu Zhi likes to eat this the most, she doesn't come, but she hasn't done it for a while."
The old lady muttered in her mouth, looked at the anagram book on the table, and said to Zheng Cunfang: "You are the only girl in the family, and you usually see that no one is playing, which is boring." When Mu Zhi comes back, I can finally be with you. ”
Zheng Cunfang helped the old lady sit down at the table, took the anagram book aside, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have anagrams to play, they are all anagram books that the second brother brought back for me." ”
"It's hard to save this kid, looking dumbfounded, but he is very interested in your sister."
Zheng Cunfang grinned, took the soup from the maid's hand, and brought it to the old lady: "Grandmother, drink it while it's hot." ”
The old lady slowly stirred the soup with a spoon, but she was not in a hurry to eat, and asked: "Yesterday I went to the palace of Yujun Wangfu, but did anyone mention his family Wulang?" ”
Zheng Cunfang blushed, shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Well, that's good. Look, they spread the word about the wood branches, and I thought this county palace was a trumpet nest. ”
"This is also because the Lord of Lanxin knows, so he said it in public. The county lord should not know what the grandmother said. ”
She was embarrassed to say that it was a "family matter", nor was she embarrassed to say that it was "my business", but only called it "this thing that grandmother said", so she tacitly agreed.
"That's right, Lan Xin has made up her mind not to marry, and she won't take the initiative to mention it to her when she wants to discuss her family, and it's boring to mention it."
The old lady thought of the tone of the county lord of Lanxin, and she felt funny.
After thinking about it, the old lady said again: "This Wei family Shilang Wulang, a wandering horse lover and madness, can't see anyone; One is closed to love books and become crazy, and he can't see anyone either. It's no wonder that your mother hasn't let go, even if I look at it, it's not very reliable. ”
"This time, I saw Wei Jiashiro."
"Oh? What kind of person is he? ”
"Strange people, saying that they had a misunderstanding with Mu Zhi, are not a person who can make people."
The old lady looked disgusted: "This is not good." We don't want to be rich and rich, nor do we want to have a bright future, we just want a husband and wife to be harmonious and beautiful, and grow old together, if we can't do this, then we can't get married. ”
Zheng Cunfang nodded again and again when she heard this: "Yes, my grandmother is very right, my grandmother went to talk to my mother and refused." ”
The old lady glanced at her: "Don't think I don't know your mind." It's not that you don't want to marry the Wei family Goro, you are young at all, and you don't want to marry yet. ”
Well, that's a hit the nail on the head.
Zheng Cunfang coquettishly: "Cunfang is originally small, what kind of relatives do you mention in this Yujun Palace, it's not annoying." ”
"Fourteen and a half years old, even if you are not in a hurry to discuss marriage, it is time to learn from your mother. In the future, there will be less noise with me. ”
A delicate voice came in from outside.
"Ah, Sister Cunfang is disgusted, and my grandmother is going to drive people away."
