Chapter 1 Rivalry in Love

Murong Ke gave Murong Zhen not only the entire intelligence system "network", but also the shop business throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom, the entire economic resources of the Rui Wangfu, and all the people in charge of these things.

He gave everything he had.

Murong Zhen has been helping Murong Ke manage these days and knows the details very well. Although what Murong Ke said just now was clear, he still didn't understand it a little.

"Ke'er, you don't have to give me everything. Plans are in the sky, and Murong Yan is like the sky, I am not completely sure. It's just a matter of giving it a try. You should save some of your life so that you can live a stable life in the future. ”

Murong Ke chuckled: "Brother Huang, you have to do this matter." You can't just give it a try. You know, whether I can live a stable life in the rest of my life depends on you, brother Huang. ”

Murong Zhen pointed at Murong Ke and shook his head: "...... you?"

Murong Ke: "Brother Huang, Mr. Mu and a few of them, I will take them to the southwest." After all, he is a person who has been with me for many years, and it is not easy to leave it to the imperial brother. But the few under the royal brother look very clever and their kung fu is good, they can be trusted, right? ”

Murong Zhen nodded: "They are not ordinary servants, in Hanzhong, they can also be regarded as famous disciples." Now there is nothing to do in Beijing, I am in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, and there is no risk. But you, going to the southwest this time will be difficult. I'm a little worried. ”

Murong Ke smiled: "It's nothing more than some killer assassins, and I'm the best at dealing with this."

It's just that after arriving in the southwest, I am far away from the imperial brother, and I am not as sensitive to things in Beijing as before, and the imperial brother is strategizing, no matter what arrangements there are, what needs to be done by me, contact me at any time, and I will fully cooperate. ”

"What are you talking about, in fact, you and I brothers, what we think and think is the same every time."

Murong Ke disagreed: "In terms of strategy and planning, where can I compare to the imperial brother." For example, in the current situation, I am a little impatient. Murong Yan is getting bigger day by day, in the opinion of the royal brother, when and where is the opportunity? ”

Murong Zhen nodded: "Now that Murong Yan is proud of the spring breeze and the hearts of the people are obedient, it is impossible for me to appear in front of my father, I can only wait." Wait until Murong Yan makes a mistake, or the Great Xia Kingdom makes a mistake. Father is in good health, we can afford to wait, and, judging from the information we have so far, the mistake is not far away. That's when our opportunity came. ”

Murong Ke nodded.

Murong Zhen instructed: "Ke'er, after you go to the southwest, you must pay attention to your safety and stand firm." As long as you are in the southwest, as long as you are there, it is a signal, a flag, and for me, it is the biggest help. ”

……

Facts have proved that Murong Zhen was right. The mistake appeared at a gratifying pace in just a few hours.

Blockbuster: Murong Yan's quasi-crown princess, Huo Yuyan, committed suicide.

The way of death was not peculiar, like other women in this era who could not survive, a white silk hung on the beams of the house.

It wasn't until the next morning that the female envoy who pushed the door found that Huo Yuyan's body was stiff.

In the eyes of the outside world, the cause of Huo Yuyan's death is confusing.

The prospective crown princess, who was originally happy, why did the daughter of the king of the southeast with a prominent family suddenly not think about it and ended her young life with her own hands?

None of the outsiders could guess why Huo Yuyan died, except for three people.

One is Murong Yan, the other is Ye Lan'er, and the other is the loyal guard that Huo Yuyan brought from the southeast, Li Mu.

He found that Huo Yuyan's mood was abnormal, and he asked about it intimately, but Huo Yuyan grinned and said, "Am I a joke?" I love him so much, but he ......"

Later, Li Mu secretly hid outside Murong Yan's study, heard Huo Yuyan's crying, and even heard Murong Yan's perfunctory and humiliation.

At that time, Huo Yuyan's mood was extremely stable, which made Li Mu have the illusion that she had seen through that man, she would definitely understand who was really good to her, and she might take herself back to the southeast and live a happy and free life.

Therefore, Limu he relaxed his vigilance, and now, he has no regrets.

In the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom, the news of the suicide of the prospective crown princess was suppressed, after all, the crown prince Murong Yan made two prospective daughters-in-law yellow one after another, which is not a glorious thing.

Another piece of news that was suppressed was that the prince was assassinated and almost lost his life. And, despite the heavy blows inflicted on the Assassin, he managed to escape from the Prince's Mansion.

That's right, that assassin is none other than Limu.

However, Murong Ke doesn't have to care about these messy things anymore.

The affairs in the capital are all handed over to Murong Zhen, and what Murong Ke needs to deal with is the bull ghosts, snakes, and gods who are chasing and intercepting along the way, as well as everything unknown in the southwest.

Relying on Gu Qingchen to delay the trip for three months, the important items in the Rui Wang's Mansion have basically been quietly transported to the southwest. This time it's mostly a human transfer.

The people in the Rui King's Mansion were divided into three groups and marched southwest along three routes. On the one hand, it was to disperse the power of the assassins, and on the other hand, he hoped that Mr. Mu would be able to reach the southwest first and inform Li Zhun of his plan.

In the eyes of the outside world, Li Zhun was invested in Wang Zhen's command and was Wang Zhen's lackey. At the beginning, it was also through Wang Zhen's momentum that he was able to guard the southwest.

And this time, Murong Ke was named the king of the southwest, and the biggest threat to being able to gain a firm foothold is this Li Zhun.

But in fact, Li Zhun was originally Murong Ke's old department, and he admired Murong Ke and was loyal. The original intention of colluding with Wang Zhen was also instructed by Murong Ke, and it was a move arranged by Murong Ke early on.

"Lord Wang, how did you expect that one day, the old emperor would crown you as the king of the southwest and arrange Li Zhun as a chess piece early?"

In the carriage moving southwest, Ye Lan'er and Murong Ke were divided into two sides of the carriage. After listening to Murong Ke's introduction to the situation, Ye Lan'er couldn't help but ask.

Who knew that Murong Ke smiled and looked at Ye Lan'er with bright eyes.

Although wearing a mask, Ye Lan'er was still a little unbearable, and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

I only heard Murong Ke sigh lightly and said, "How could I have expected that I would become the king of the southwest?" The answer is, I didn't expect it at all.

The reason why Li Zhun was asked to defect to Wang Zhen was just because he wanted Li Zhun to stay away from the disputes in Beijing. Li Zhun has an upright temperament and doesn't know how to be flexible. If it weren't for his military exploits, it is estimated that he would have died hundreds of times in the capital.

The southwest is unguarded, which is an opportunity. I suggested that he could take Wang Zhen's road to the southwest.

At the same time, the tranquility of the southwest also needs a fierce general like Li Zhun who is dedicated to his duties. But if Wang Zhen still thinks that Li Zhun is from my faction, he will definitely not give him this opportunity. So ......"

Ye Lan'er nodded: "So that's ......"

Murong Ke smiled, took out a wooden box in the carriage, opened the lid, and there were all kinds of pastries inside.

"It will take two hours to get to the next inn, and there is some fruit here, so you can eat some first." As he spoke, Murong Ke put the box on Ye Lan'er's lap.

Ye Lan'er didn't want to eat it, but her stomach protested loudly, fortunately with a mask, her blushing would not be discovered.

She had to pick up the pastry and eat it piece by piece, and the more she ate it, the more she thought it was a really good idea.

With one mouth, you only need to eat, so you don't have to be embarrassed to speak.

After eating a few pieces, Murong Ke had already poured her a cup of tea, which was still warm, and handed it to her.

"Lan'er, last time you were poisoned, I have already found the Doctor Youshen. Later, when he got the antidote, he left. Su Yu said that he had already found out, and he was probably active in the southwest area, and we would look for him when we settled down. Your throat still has the disease of gluttony, and the doctor should have a way. ”

Ye Lan'er nodded and continued to eat.

"Even if there is no medicine, it doesn't matter, I can still afford to raise you."

Ye Lan'er coughed twice, and quickly took a sip of tea to suppress it.

Murong Ke continued: "Lan'er, when we arrived in the southwest, no one knew us, so we don't have to wear this mask, right?" ”

Ye Lan'er thought about it and felt that it made sense. However, she shook her head when she was afraid that her expression would betray her once she left the mask.

"Why?" Murong Ke asked.

Ye Lan'er replied casually: "Lord Wang, this is not my face." ”

Murong Ke didn't understand what Ye Lan'er was talking about.

Ye Lan'er was also stunned for a moment after finishing speaking.

She clapped her hands and raised her head: "Lord Wang...... I wasn't meant to be like this. In the past, I was very ordinary, at most delicate, not as beautiful as I am now. It's a face that doesn't belong to me. ”

As she spoke, Ye Lan'er took off the mask and thoughtfully touched her unfamiliar cheek.

"I know the friendship that the prince has for me. But have you ever thought about it, if I didn't look like this, would you still have feelings for me? Will you still have the first feelings? Will you still be so persistent? Never mind...... What I'm saying should be too abstract. ”

Murong Ke said with certainty, "I can understand what you mean. Lan'er, even if you don't have the appearance you have now, even if you become ordinary, I am still happy with you. ”

Ye Lan'er seemed to smile bitterly: "Lord Wang, but apart from beauty, I don't have any merits?" I can't cope with the occasion of a wealthy family, it's basically an ornament, and I can't go to the hall.

It is impossible for me to be a qualified princess, take care of the palace up and down, and not go down to the kitchen.

I'm almost useless, and even in the past, I was just causing trouble and making you angry.

What's so good about me like this? This kind of me is just a burden, a troublesome spirit. ”

Murong Ke held Ye Lan'er's hand: "Lan'er, you are not useless. Have you forgotten that you have a knack for being empty-handed? ”

Ye Lan'er sighed and withdrew her hand: "What kind of skill is that, just a snitch." ”

Murong Ke shook his head: "Lan'er, do you know that this is the most powerful. Because, with all your might, you stole my heart. ”
