Puyang Haoyue was seriously dealing with the twists and turns, and as soon as the personal guards came in, they saw that their master was working with his head down, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while. Sensing that someone was there, Puyang Haoyue put down what she was doing and raised her head.

Facing Puyang's gaze, the guard knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "When the regent left, he privately instructed the villain to send you a letter to report your safety the next day, but the villain kept watch all morning today and didn't see the carrier pigeon. It stands to reason that the regent won't ......"

Before he finished speaking, Puyang Haoyue also knew what his next words were. Gong Mushen is a person who does what he says, and it is even more impossible for him to deliberately explain such a trivial matter for no reason. Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, just in case you need it.

After all, there are many people secretly coveting his current status, and there are many people with ill intentions who want him to be ruined. However, those people were not afraid, and Gong Mushen never took it to heart.

Then there is only one person who can make him want to guard against it so hard, and that is Puyang Haokun. Realizing that something was wrong, Puyang Haoyue immediately took enough men and horses and immediately set off for the Four Kings' Mansion.

Although he is now dealing with the affairs of the court and China in the name of the prince, he is actually the temporary emperor of Dayuan. Because his father was addicted to pills, especially after Gong Mu Shen left, there were no people in the palace who could restrain him.

That's why he completely became the shopkeeper and handed over everything to Puyang Haoyue. There are good and bad things about this matter, the good thing is that he can enjoy the treatment of the emperor in advance, and the bad thing is that the burden on his body has become heavier all of a sudden.

Xu is too conceited, and in Puyang Haokun's impression, the prince has always been an honest person who can't play any conspiracy, so he doesn't defend the prince much, because when Puyang Haoyue led a large group of people to surround the Four Princes' Mansion, Puyang Haokun was still in a state of shock.

After Puyang Haoyue saw Puyang Haokun, she smiled at him and said, "What does the imperial brother think?" "He did it on purpose, leading people to surround the Four Princes' Mansion, just to catch him off guard.

Capturing the annoyance that flashed in Puyang Haokun's eyes, the crown prince learned to say in Gong Mu Shen's usual unhurried tone: "Don't panic, brother Huang, I have already dispatched 500,000 troops to help the regent. ”

Naturally, this was deliberately said to him, and Puyang Haokun also believed that what he said was true. He sneered secretly, sure enough, he underestimated this honest man too much on weekdays. Before he could answer, he heard Puyang Haoyue smile and say, "The imperial brother has been tired recently, so it's better to rest in the mansion." ”

As soon as the sentence landed, Puyang Haokun's heart was completely cold. The crown prince meant to temporarily put him under house arrest, and the place of house arrest was the palace of the four princes that he was proud of. Seeing Puyang Haokun's angry appearance and unspeakable, the prince couldn't help but want to snort, but thinking of Gong Mushen's warning, he abandoned this idea again.

"The royal brother is easy to go, but the courtier brother can't be sent away." Puyang Haokun paused word by word, with a bit of a gritted tooth threat. It's because he is too lax, and Puyang Haoyue had better not turn his head here in the future, otherwise he will definitely regret what he did today.

Puyang Haoyue naturally saw the resentment in his eyes, but he deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye, and regarded his threatening words as a younger brother's concern for his brother, and accepted it all: "Don't bother the imperial brother to care, the palace still has affairs, so don't bother." ”

After finishing speaking, the prince left alone, leaving only a large number of people outside the palace of the four princes, monitoring Puyang Haokun's every move at all times.

It's night, the Imperial Palace, the Kunning Palace.

The queen was sitting on her seat, calmly drinking tea, and in front of her stood a tall, thin black-clothed masked man. After drinking several sips of tea in a row, the queen slowly raised her head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

The man leaned down respectfully and replied with a smile: "Qi Niangniang, the grass people came to solve Niangniang's troubles." ”

Hearing his words, the queen seemed to sneer in disbelief, and then responded lightly: "What troubles can this palace have?" If you talk about troubles recently, I'm afraid that Lu Shangshu's disappearance has made the emperor unhappy, and the palace is not in a good mood. ”

After hearing this, the man stood up straight, his eyes looked straight at the queen, and there seemed to be a smile in it: "I will live up to my mother's high expectations." With that, the man disappeared. The queen looked at the place where he had just stood, empty, but for some reason suddenly laughed.

In the regent palace, Li Zezheng led the patrol. A secret guard suddenly came to report that something unusual had been discovered. Li Ze did not hesitate to order: "Everything is as usual." Strengthen the guards there. ”

After that, they continued to patrol according to the original route. After receiving the order, the secret guard immediately spread the news, and then went to the place Li Ze said. In the middle of the night, as Li Ze expected, someone came to rob the prison.

Fortunately, Gong Mu Shen foresaw that someone would come to save Lu Shangshu and made arrangements in advance, otherwise he really didn't know that someone would be willing to take the risk to save Lu Shangshu. Because Li Ze and the others had arranged in advance, the gains of the people who came to rob the prison outweighed the losses, but they lost half of the people.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the leader of the robbers made a gesture and left with the rest of the people. Looking at their departing backs, Li Ze said coldly: "Strengthen the guards, especially during the period when the master is away." ”

Let's talk about the northwest, Gong Mu Shen got the prince's reinforcements, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the enemy army was taken by surprise and retreated. In the end, in desperation, the leader of the enemy army proposed to make peace. In fact, Gong Mushen didn't want to fight, and saw that the leader of the enemy army was a little self-aware, so he agreed to the peace request.

In the evening, the two armies fought. Both sides stood still, and only their respective generals took the lead. The two confronted each other, and after a while, the enemy leader was defeated, looked at Gong Mushen and said: "The sincerity of our peace negotiation is to pay tribute to Dayuan every year, what do you think?" ”

Gong Mu pinched the horse rope, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling: "It's really sincere." "But what the tribute is, then it is not known. The person on the other side looked honest, but in fact, he was just an old fox.

"The general doesn't have to worry. Since I said tribute, I am naturally willing to become a courtier of Dayuan. The only requirement is that we remain free. When the leader of the enemy army said this, he inadvertently straightened his back.

Nodding in agreement was counted, and both of them looked at each other and smiled. At night, Gong Mu Shen set up a banquet to entertain them, and the two of them drank the wine, both optimistic about the peace negotiation.

Last night's negotiation was very pleasant, and after Gong Mushen came back, he told Chen Xiyuan the good news, and the two of them couldn't help but cheer, in order to show their happiness that they finally didn't have to fight.

Early the next morning, Gong Mushen ordered to withdraw the same way. Chen Xiyuan rode on a horse with him, and the occasional interaction between the two made all the soldiers and generals behind him look red-eyed, why didn't he have a daughter-in-law who was willing to go to the battlefield together.

The group had a victorious mentality, and they were all very excited, and they all forgot that they should always be vigilant as soldiers.

Due to the surprise of the enemy's appearance, Rao is as agile as Gong Mu Shen, and he almost couldn't dodge. But Chen Xiyuan was riding on the same horse with him, and she was immersed in the joy of Hegong Mushen, completely unaware of how dangerous her situation was.

The people who laid the ambush were very experienced, and they all made a dead move, and it seemed that their purpose was very clear, that is, they didn't want Gong Mushen to return to the northwest alive.

"Be careful!" Gong Mushen could dodge the arrows that shot at him, but Chen Xiyuan couldn't.

After barely avoiding a few sharp arrows, Gong Mushen also began to gradually become a little struggling. The soldiers behind him fell one after another, and Gong Mushen knew that if he continued like this, the whole army would be annihilated. He calmed down a little and said in a deep voice to the soldiers behind him, "Everyone disperse and find a place where you can hide." Remember what you brought with you? ”

The soldiers got the order and dispersed one after another, especially the last sentence of Gong Mu Shen, which made them suddenly realize, and took out the fire fold they had carried in advance from their arms. Needless to say, they also know exactly what their generals want to do.

Everything that could be ignited around was burned, and gradually, the fire became smaller and larger, and the smoke became thicker and thicker. The people who were hiding were not very visible from the smoke and fire.

Gong Mu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped his hands around Chen Xiyuan's waist, and after landing on the ground with light skills, he took her hand, wanting to take her to a safe place to hide. Before he had taken two steps, he felt a cold wind blow behind him.

Before he had time to think, Gong Mushen stopped and dragged Chen Xiyuan's body and hugged her tightly in his arms. The heart-piercing pain in his shoulder made him sober up a lot, and he knew that they were not out of danger for the time being, so he pulled Chen Xiyuan and didn't dare to stay longer.

Chen Xiyuan vaguely knew what had just happened, but when she looked at Gong Mushen's unchanged face, she was a little stunned. Fortunately, Gong Mu Shen teaches well on weekdays, and these soldiers are all shrewd, knowing that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, so they all wait for the rabbit.

The final result was naturally to wipe out all the people who ambushed them, but these people were also very stubborn, and they didn't catch a single live mouth. Gong Mu looked at the several dead corpses in front of him, and his face was so bad. Chen Xiyuan looked at him worriedly several times, and finally stepped forward to comfort him: "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." Even if none of these assassins have a living mouth, there are only a few people who target you. ”

The words are very clear, it is nothing more than the instigation of people like Puyang Haokun. But as soon as he finished speaking, before he could hear a response, I saw him fall straight to the ground. Chen Xiyuan was frightened, and immediately stepped forward and knelt beside him, looking at his blackened lips, a strong bad premonition rose in his heart.
