In the Eastern Wilderness Country, after a few days and nights of finishing work, Mu Zhijun has handled all the matters in the Eastern Wilderness Country. This time to recover the Eastern Wilderness Country, there was no loss of a soldier or a general, Mu Zhijun was very satisfied with this station.

He asked all the soldiers to stay in the Eastern Wilderness Kingdom, including the hundred people brought by Chen Tianyu. More than half of the 50,000 people rescued from prison were lost, and some remained.

Early this morning, they were about to leave for the Northern Lion Kingdom, and before leaving, Mu Zhijun gathered this part of the people and said to them: "I will naturally let you go, but I will also select a hundred people from among you to do the last thing for me." This is not done in vain, you want the title deed of the house, gold, silver and jewelry, and you can come out on your own. ”

Lu'er was the first to walk out, and she saluted Mu Zhijun, "Your Highness, you are a good Highness, thanks to your help, I can be freed from prison, and I am willing to be the first to stand up." ”

Mu Zhijun returned the salute, "Thank you!" ”

Lu'er turned around and said to everyone in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness King Jing not only has the grace of saving our lives, but also the grace of rebuilding. She is not like other people, who coerce and seduce us, but is tolerant of us. The grace of a meal should be unforgettable! Not to mention a life-saving grace? Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness King Jing is a rare kind and merciful Highness, if you still have the heart, you will take the initiative to help His Royal Highness King Jing again, I believe that His Royal Highness will not harm you, let alone treat you badly. ”

Lu'er's soft voice was sonorous and powerful at this moment, she said so firmly, so decisively, word by word, every word was really incisive, and every sentence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It touched the hearts of many people who wanted to receive grace and then walked away......

But there are also dissatisfied, a woman stood up and retorted: "We are just a deal with His Royal Highness King Jing, you say that King Jing is merciful, forgive the small eyes, I can't see where His Royal Highness is merciful." If His Royal Highness had been merciful, he would not have let us come to this Eastern Wilderness Country to help her fight hard, you see, when we came, there were 50,000 people, and how many of them died? ”

Lu'er defended: "Then at least King Jing saved you!" Think about it, if there is no King Jing, can you come out? If you are tortured to death in prison, no one will care about you, let alone know about you. ”

Chen Tianyu smiled lightly, "Let me ask you a question, do you know what your identity is?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to discuss.

What do you mean by that? Is it to look down on prisoners? ”

"What happened to the prisoner? Prisoners are human beings, too......"

"Those who have a noble status are disgusting, and they can do whatever they want by virtue of their noble status......"

"Who's to say it isn't? Relying on his high status, he can not treat us as human beings......"

……

There is more and more nonsense.

Chen Tianyu explained: "You said that Your Highness is using you, I want to ask, what is use? Your identity is just a prisoner, your life is as cheap as an ant, if you are really a high-ranking official, a relative of the emperor and the country, they don't want to look at you more, how can they give you a chance to pass the merits? You are all the people of the Northern Lion Country, shouldn't you feel honored to fight for your country? You are prisoners, according to the law of the Northern Lion Kingdom, fighting for the country is a meritorious service, there is no reward, and you have to be a soldier for a lifetime, but Your Highness not only let yourself free, but also rewarded you with house title deeds, gold, silver and jewelry, this kindness, I want to ask you, if there is another random royal relative, who can do it? ”

The woman who had just defended stood up again and said sharply: "You don't want to pretend to be a good person here, who wouldn't say good things?" I'll tell you, King Jing...... The woman ...... finished speaking, she only felt that her neck had been fractured, and this fracture was only in an instant, and the woman had not even had a chance to call for help and feel pain, and she was already dead.

Everyone looked over and saw Mu Zhijun pinching the woman's neck, only in an instant, her neck was broken, and the blood in the woman's mouth fell on Mu Zhijun's hand, and as soon as Mu Zhijun's hand was released, the woman fell to the ground with a "bang".

Chen Tianyu took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Mu Zhijun, who wiped his hands and wrote lightly: "A gentleman is good as an adult, and evil as an adult." This person's words and sentences shake the hearts of the army, and he should be killed! Ask yourselves, when has this temple treated you badly since you were released from prison? This temple wants to be a good person and let you go, but if you don't know what to do like this, this temple doesn't mind and kills you all. Anyway, prisoners, should be killed! ”

As soon as Mu Zhijun's words fell, a plain handkerchief immediately turned into a blood handkerchief, Mu Zhijun's hands were wiped clean, and they were still the same as before, slender and fair, with distinct bone joints.

Mu Zhijun looked at them, smiling evilly, she said lukewarmly: "I persuaded you so much, can you figure it out?" Did you come out of 100 of your own and volunteer to do something for the main temple, or did the main temple kill you all? ”

As soon as these words fell, the audience fell silent. After being quiet for a while, Mu Zhijun sighed lightly, "The patience of this hall is not so good, if you don't make a decision, this hall ......" Mu Zhijun's eyes sank, and he was murderous, "Kill all of you!" ”

A woman walked out tremblingly, although she was afraid to die, but she still stood up to her scalp and resisted: "King Jing, we are also the people of the Northern Lion Country, you rely on your power to oppress us, we don't accept it." ”

Mu Zhijun sneered, she approached the woman, looking at the woman's face was frightened and white, she didn't dare to come out, Mu Zhijun smiled playfully, "You're afraid of me?" ”

Mu Zhijun said a word, and the woman was even more frightened, and her breath trembled involuntarily.

"Girl, I'll tell you today, first, it's good that you are a citizen of the Northern Lion Country, but you are also a prisoner of the Northern Lion Country. Second, if I use my power to bully others, do you think you can still negotiate with me here? In the end, I saved the lives of all of you, and if I did not save you, you would have died in prison, and you died, and no one knew about it. Mu Zhijun's eyes scanned everyone, "At the beginning, you voluntarily made a deal with me, and I didn't force you. If you still have the heart, then consciously stand up, the patience of this temple is not so good, this is the last time to persuade you. The main hall has given you a cup of tea, if no one has come forward voluntarily. ”

Mu Zhijun looked at Chen Tianyu and ordered: "Tianyu! ”

Chen Tianyu saluted Mu Zhijun.

"No mercy!"

"Yes!"

Mu Zhijun said and left.

Mu Zhijun had just taken two steps forward when the timid woman stood up and immediately shouted, "His Royal Highness King Jing, wait!" ”

Mu Zhijun stopped, turned to look at the woman, the woman's heart was horizontal, she gritted her teeth, and then said softly: "I am willing!" ”

Mu Zhijun chuckled lightly and replied casually: "Are you willing to come along?" Mu Zhijun took two steps forward, she seemed to think of something, stopped, turned to everyone and reminded: "Since you help me do things, then don't betray me, otherwise, it's easy to die, but I have many ways to torture people half-dead, and I have many ways to be no one or a ghost, which is more cruel than torture in prison, so since you help me do things, don't betray me." ”

Mu Zhijun finished speaking, turned around and left.

When the woman heard this, she followed, and when Lu'er saw it, she followed. Subsequently, more and more people came, and in the end, after gathering a hundred people, Mu Zhijun asked Chen Tianyu to give the antidote to the rest of the people, and released them all.

In the court hall of Ning Ao Country, Ning Yuchen and Fuhe sat on the dragon chair together, and everyone stood neatly on the main hall as before.

Mencius Yan stepped forward and bowed, neither hot nor cold, neither fast nor slow, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the advice of the Third Highness, the water conservancy in Yuzhang County will take a year at least." After all, His Royal Highness is the Highness of a country, and he can't stay in Yuzhang County all year round, which is not in accordance with the rules. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to send people who understand water conservancy and more people in the DPRK to speed up the construction of bridges and dams, so that His Highness can also return to China as soon as possible. ”

Today's Ning Yuchen sat on the dragon chair and was dizzy, looking really listless like that. Fuhe on the side helped him, Ning Yuchen spoke in a very small voice, Fuhe leaned closer to listen, and after listening for a while, Fuhe smiled and said: "The emperor said that the Marquis of Xuanping is reasonable, if His Royal Highness has been staying in Yuzhang County, it is indeed not like words." ”

Fuhe leaned his head over again, listened to it again, and then said: "The emperor said that he will issue an order tomorrow and order His Royal Highness to return to the palace." ”

After the morning dynasty, in the inner room of the dormitory, Ning Yuchen was lying on the bed, his confused head gradually sobered up a lot, and he got together, only to see Fuhe sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at him.

Ning Yuchen asked, "Fuhe, what's wrong with me?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning of the court!" Fuhe said, waving her hand at Zao'er, and Zao'er walked respectfully to a servant girl. The servant girl had a tray in her hand with a bowl of medicine on it.

Zao'er picked up the medicine bowl and walked over with her hands and feet quickly, she handed the medicine bowl to Fuhe, after Fuhe picked up the medicine bowl, she fed Ning Yuchen with a spoon to drink the medicine, and said gently: "Your Majesty, you have a headache again, right?" Come, Fuhe boiled the medicine for you with her own hands, come and drink the medicine, right? ”

Ning Yuchen was bewildered by Fuhe's gentleness, and he obediently drank every mouthful of medicine that Fuhe fed him. The entrance of the medicinal juice made Ning Yuchen feel bitter and want to vomit, but every time he saw Fuhe's face, Ning Yuchen didn't feel bitter.

Ning Yuchen remembered that when she was a child, when her mother Chu Ji was alive, she also fed him medicine so gently, and there was endless doting in her eyes.

Looking at Fuhe now, he suddenly misses his mother so much. Thinking about it, I unconsciously left tears.

Fuhe saw the tears flowing from Ning Yuchen's handsome face, so he reached out to wipe him gently, but Ning Yuchen grabbed Fuhe's hand and said softly: "Fuhe, don't leave me, okay?" ”

"Good!" Fuhe smiled and coaxed: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here, and the concubine will not leave you." ”

Fuhe and Ning Yuchen are both poor people, and their fate since childhood is involuntary. Although one was born poor and the other was born rich, they are all working hard because they want to live.

What they have in common is their pity, but it is precisely this pity that allows them to rely on each other and keep each other warm, but while warming each other, there is also a danger caused by resentment.

In Molianju, in a side room, Hua Che ordered a table of dishes, sat quietly on the futon, and drank alone, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a few moments, the door was gradually pushed open. Walking in was Chun Yuyi, who was dressed in civilian clothes. Chun Yuyi walked to the futon and said with a smile: "Second brother, I'm late, forgive me!" ”

Hua Che smiled: "It's okay, sit down!" ”

Chun Yuyi sat on the futon with him and asked, "Second brother, what are you looking for me?" ”

"First, I thank you for ...... last time."

Before Hua Che finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chun Yuyi, "Second brother, don't be so polite with me, the family doesn't talk to two families, our Hua family is united, so that we can help the Hua family revitalize the family and the country, and help my aunt ascend to the throne." ”

Hua Che nodded, "One more thing, I still want to ask you for help, although ......"

"No, although the second brother has something, it doesn't hurt to say it." Chun Yuyi interrupted

"Then I'll be blunt. The crown prince has fallen, and the second prince is going back to the palace, so I think you can go to the palace to meet that concubine for a while. ”

Chun Yuyi understood as soon as he heard it, and he laughed out loud with a "poof", "The second brother is very intelligent, Hua Mo admires it." ”

"Alright, stop shooting! You can't say it's possible, right? ”

Chun Yuyi nodded, pretending to be mysterious: "This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to do." ”

"And what do you want?"

Chun Yuyi smiled: "After this incident, the second brother invited me to dinner!" How is it? ”

Hua Che sighed lightly, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to invite you to dinner, it's just, alas~" Hua Che sighed again, he stretched out his head and whispered in Chun Yuyi's ear: "There is a good wife in the family, and you are strict!" ”

Chun Yuyi burst out laughing, "Hahaha! ”

"Second brother, are you still one, afraid of your wife?"

Hua Che said unhappily: "Isn't it funny?" ”

Chun Yuyi waved his hand, "It's not funny, it's not funny~" But he still couldn't help laughing in his mouth.

Hua Che poured himself and Chun Yuyi a glass of wine, Hua Che raised his glass, "Drink one?" ”

Chun Yuyi had a drink with him, and the two drank it all. Afterwards, the two chatted about homely things.

Weiyang Palace is the palace of the good concubine Xi Cui. Outside the courtyard of Changle Palace, the red walls are green tiles, and the willow trees are shady. In the courtyard there was a small courtyard wall built with a fence, which was full of flowers.

Xi Yan was standing at the gate of the palace in the courtyard, looking at the anxious appearance, as if waiting for someone.

A servant outside the door hurriedly walked in, and the servant saluted Xi Yan, "Niangniang, King Zhao is back." ”

Before Xi Yan could speak, a person walked in from outside the palace gate. This person is Chun Yuchuan. When Xi Yan saw Chun Yuchuan, she was indescribably happy in her heart.

"Chuan'er!" Xi Yan called softly

Chun Yuchuan walked over and knelt down on his knees, "Mother, the child is not filial, so many years, it has made you worried." ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Xi Yan helped Chun Yuchuan up, "Chuan'er, I know that you are coming back, I specially prepared a meal for you in the house, let's go, let's go into the house and talk while eating." ”

Chun Yuchuan smiled and nodded, "Okay!" ”

With that, the two entered the house, and on a marble table carved with phoenixes and carved flowers in the room, there were ten dishes with all colors and flavors.

Xi Yan and Chun Yuchuan sat opposite each other, and he sighed lightly, "Chuan'er, in the past few years you have been in Qinghe County, the mother concubine has been thinking about you all the time!" ”

"Mother, in the past few years in Qinghe County, the child has missed his mother very much!"

Xi Yan looked at Chun Yuchuan, her eyes were full of distress, "Chuan'er, look at you, you have lost weight." ”

Xi Yan enthusiastically picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes, and put them in the Chunyuchuan bowl. I didn't forget to say: "Come, Chuan'er, this is all made for you by the mother concubine, eat more!" ”

Chun Yuchuan picked up the chopsticks and praised while eating the food: "It's still the mother's craftsmanship, this dish is really delicious." The child will be able to eat the food cooked by the concubine. ”

Xi Yan's eyes were full of doting and said: "Chuan'er, if you think it's delicious, eat more." You've been back for a few days, and I've been cooking for you every day. ”

Chun Yuchuan shook his head, "This is not good, mother, I'm too tired to cook, just let someone do it." ”

Xi Yan said while serving Chun Yuchuan vegetables: "Silly child, how can you feel tired when your mother cooks for you?" ”

Chun Yuchuan smiled, and then turned to the topic: "Mother, I heard that the crown prince has fallen?" ”

Xi Yan nodded, "Yes, not only did he fall, but he also had a grudge against our Xi family." ”

Chun Yuchuan nodded, "I know, I heard that my cousin died tragically because the prince collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country." ”

Xi Yan sighed lightly, "Yes! Your cousin devoted his life to the country, and in the end, he was killed by the prince's greed for life and fear of death, and his collaboration with the enemy and treason, and your grandfather would not let him go. ”

"The fall of the crown princess is not an opportunity for us to compete!"

Xi Yan looked puzzled and said, "Listen to what my son means, do you have an idea?" ”

Chun Yuchuan analyzed: "Mother, the prince has fallen, the fourth brother and the sixth brother are incompetent people, there is nothing to fear, the fifth brother is not interested in these, there is no one in the palace who he cares about, and he will not compete for the position of the prince, the ninth brother is dead, and the eighth brother is a little tricky, but he is not in the imperial capital, it is not easy to move him for the time being, as for the eleventh brother, the light is not shining, the still water is deep, he is a ruthless character." Therefore, the most important thing to be defeated now is the second brother. ”

"How do you bring it down?" Xi Yan was puzzled.

Chun Yuchuan explained: "In the palace, the one who is most compatible with the second brother's strength is the seventh brother. The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. If the seventh brother can be invited back to the palace and let him participate in this battle for the crown prince, the two will either be injured or both will lose. ”

Xi Yan nodded, with a look of relief, "Chuan'er is really smart, but Chuan'er, the mother concubine is puzzled, why do you say that the eleventh prince is a ruthless character, and the king of Jin is a tricky one?" ”

"Mother, it's really not easy to survive in the palace for so long without a fief! As for the eighth brother, if he doesn't pretend to be crazy and stupid, how can he protect himself? Is there such a fief to ask for a fiefdom, Taoguang has been obscure for so many years? Chun Yuchuan sighed lightly, "Mother, in short, these two people are not easy to deal with, if he can meet, it is good if he is an enemy or a friend, but he is afraid of it, the two are friends and not enemies......" Chun Yuchuan's eyes sank, and he said in a deep voice, word by word: "In this way, it will be difficult to deal with." ”

The weather outside the window was getting dark, time was flying by, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night......
