Seeing that Yin Kang and the others still wanted to persuade again, Mu Beimo raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't say more, the lonely mind has been decided"

Wolf Five was the easiest one to accept among the people present: "Your Highness, when will our people leave?" Do you want the second brother to lead the troops? ”

In order not to let others find out, Mu Beimo's 20,000 private soldiers were not near Shengjing, but were arranged by him in Huangchuan, which was far away from Shengjing, and his wolf guards were responsible for training, and the second wolf was the main general.

Huangchuan is far away from Shengjing, but it is only two or three days away from crossing the winter pass.

Mu Beimo pondered for a moment and came up with an idea: "Send a letter to ask Wolf Er to immediately order troops to cross the Winter Pass, and then, I will go in person." ”

"Your Highness!" Yin Kang anxiously stopped, "Under the king's nose, how can you go yourself?" ”

Mu Beimo regained his confident appearance at this time: "The day after tomorrow is the spring festival, and I have my own arrangements." ”

Unlike most other countries, the spring festival in Xiling is not located at the vernal equinox or Qingming, but at the beginning of spring.

At this time, the winter will not recede, there is still a chill, coupled with the terrain of Xiling, there is often snow.

Xiling people believe that the snow after the beginning of spring is an auspicious omen, so they also pray for snow in the spring festival.

The spring festival of the royal family is particularly grand, and it is necessary to go to the altar outside Shengjing City, and Mu Yi will be the main sacrifice, in order to ensure that the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and the country and the people will be safe.

Mu Beimo, as the crown prince, is not the chief priest, but he also needs to assist his father from the side.

Although Xiling does not pay attention to etiquette and religion like Nanwan, there are also many rules in such a major event as the national sacrifice.

There are strict requirements for the flow of the ritual, the time of each step, and the position of the king and the courtiers.

After the preparation links such as firing cannons, drumming, dressing, drumming, ringing gold, and cleaning hands, Mu Yicheng led the courtiers to kneel and bow three times to heaven and earth.

Then Mu Beimo toasts, tea, food, rice, sweet rounds, grains, grains, cakes, and three animals, in order to seek the blessing of God.

Then, the mueinturation officer reads the blessings, reads the prayers, and burns them. Finally, pay tribute to the sun and the moon and offer ingots, which is considered to be the end of the ceremony.

Each of these elements should be played with drums, string songs, and songs. All participants saluted with reverence and reverence.

Every move at the spring festival needs to be cautious and follow the rules. After all, Mu Yicheng is old, and after the complicated spring festival, his body is a little unbearable. So he sat on the dragon and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Mu Beimo rode a horse to protect the dragon, and the generals and civil officials were not allowed to ride horses, and they also tended to follow behind the sedan chair.

Halfway through, there seemed to be something unusual in the pine forest on the side, Mu Beimo cautiously asked the dragon to stop, and called the guards to guard the carriage.

Mu Yicheng opened the sedan curtain: "What happened?" ”

"Father, just now Erchen saw a figure shaking in the pine forest, Erchen was uneasy, and he has sent someone to check."

Mu Yicheng nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, an arrow burst through the air, making a sharp and piercing sound.

With this sound, more than two dozen people dressed in white jumped out of the pine forest, covering their faces. With bows and crossbows in their hands, they shot crossbow arrows in the direction where Mu Yicheng was.

Mu Beimo was not afraid of danger, and dispatched the guards beside him to firmly protect the dragon.

Xiling is still martial, although Mu Yicheng is the king of a country, he does not want to hide in the carriage car, but comes out in person to see who dares to assassinate.

These people were menacing, but their combat strength seemed to be average, and they soon showed their defeat against the royal guards.

Mu Beimo was not surprised, but just ordered a warning: "Don't kill it, stay alive." ”

The leader of the guard said yes and brought the men on board.

Because the spring festival is not allowed to bring sharp weapons, it will be regarded as a great disrespect, because in addition to the guards around Mu Yicheng, Mu Beimo and the generals did not bring weapons. At this moment, he could only stand aside and watch the guards fight the Assassins.

Soon, the guards captured all the Assassins. There was a faint smile on Mu Yicheng's face, and Mu Beimo also looked a little relaxed.

Mu Yicheng looked at the kidnapped assassin: "Mo'er, hand it over to you for interrogation, be sure to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Mu Beimo's head responded: "Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will definitely find out." ”

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and another arrow was shot from the woods, hitting Mu Yicheng's chest. The arrow was swift and stealthy, and no one reacted.

It wasn't until the arrow was about to arrive that Mu Beimo noticed that the evil wind was not good, but it was too late to call people, so he could only pounce out and protect Mu Yicheng by himself.

The arrow stabbed into Mu Beimo's right chest, and blood suddenly gushed out, and a bewitching flower spilled out on his gold-trimmed ivory-white dragon-patterned cloud sleeve robe.

The Assassin, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that the first blow missed and immediately fired a second arrow, but by this time the guards had already reacted and rushed in the direction from which the arrow had come from, and in a short time they tied one of them out.

Mu Beimo could barely stand still by holding on to the carriage, but he turned his head to look at Mu Yicheng: "Father is fine, right?" ”

Mu Yicheng saw that his only son was injured, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't bring the imperial doctor with him when he traveled, and at this time, no one could treat Mu Beimo's wounds.

Mu Beimo's face was pale, and there was a forced smile on his face: "Father, don't worry, the arrow wound is not in the critical place, and it is not in danger of life." ”

"What are you still doing?" Mu Yicheng rushed to Guwu, who was waiting closely, and spoke, "Hurry up and help the prince to the car and return to Shengjing immediately!" ”

After several accidents in a row, Gu Wu had already been stunned, and when he heard Mu Yicheng's scolding, he helped Mu Beimo to lie down on the dragon as if he had just woken up from a dream.

At this time, he didn't care about any courtesy, Mu Yicheng asked Long Bao to send Mu Beimo back to the East Palace first, and he led his ministers to wait here.

Mu Yicheng knew that Yin Kang, who was under Mu Beimo, was the Holy Hand of Xinglin, and his medical skills were far superior to those of the Tai Hospital.

Such a character should have been admitted to the Tai Hospital, but Yin Kang was a retainer left to him by Mu Beimo's late mother, and Mu Yicheng acquiesced to this matter out of guilt.

The section of the road from the altar to Shengjing City is smooth and wide, so that the four horses can ride together, and it will not be bumpy to run at full speed, but Rao is so, when he arrived at the East Palace, Mu Beimo was already unconscious.

The people in the East Palace received the news and waited at the door, seeing that the dragon had arrived, the wolf and the wolf rushed forward, carefully lifted Mu Beimo to the soft sedan that had been prepared, and quickly sent it to the dormitory.

Yin Kang walked around the dormitory with his box on his back, and when he saw someone sending it, he hurriedly instructed the wolf guard to put Mu Bei Moping on the couch.

Gu Wu saw the two wolf guards carrying Mu Beimo and quickly disappearing in front of him, wanting to follow, but he didn't dare to walk around the East Palace at will.

When he was in a dilemma, Wolf Wu greeted him: "Lord Gu, Yin Kang is treating His Highness's injuries, and the injuries are not serious." Your Excellency might as well go back as soon as possible, and don't let the king wait for a long time. ”

These words are in line with Gu Wu's intentions, and he arched his hand: "That villain will not stay long, and after taking the king back, he will bring the imperial doctor to see His Highness." ”

Wolf Wu nodded in agreement, politely sent Gu Wu out of the East Palace, and saw the dragon go away, before running back to Mu Beimo's dormitory.

He quietly pushed open the door and entered: "Your Highness, Guwu is gone." ”

Mu Beimo, who was on the couch with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, looking not half injured.

Mu Beimo stretched out his hand to hold the shaft of the arrow that was still inserted in his right chest, and with a slight effort in his hand, he twisted it to the right, only to hear a slight "click". Mu Beimo pulled out the arrow directly.

It turns out that there is a mystery hidden in the arrow, and when it touches the object, the arrow will retract and become a hook claw, firmly grasping the object.

Although the claws were sharp, they were collected inward, so they didn't hurt Mu Beimo at all, but just poked the blood bag that Mu Beimo hid on his right chest to let the blood flow out.

There was no surprise on the faces of the few people next to him, obviously knowing this.

Yin Kang helped Mu Beimo remove the ivory white robe stained with blood, and Mu Beimo's face was disgusted: "Take this one directly and burn it." ”

Then he looked at Wolf Yi again: "Find out that three of those dead soldiers died, and bring the rest of the people and Thirteen back, and say that I am not seriously injured, and put them in the East Palace, and I will try them soon." ”

The wolf smiled with a smile on his face: "Thirteen, that kid is making a lot of trouble, this time he should be asked to suffer a little and regain his temperament." ”

Wolf Three Wolf Five laughed, Mu Beimo ignored Wolf Yi's joke, got up and changed into regular clothes, and lay back on the couch: "When Father comes back in a while, he will definitely come to visit, and you will put away the smiles on your faces." ”

The three wolf guards immediately hid the smile on their faces and replaced them with serious expressions of bitterness and hatred.

Yin Kang still looked hippie smiling: "Your Highness, you can't deceive the king with this look, let the old minister pick it up for you." ”

Without waiting for Mu Beimo to refute, he took out the incense powder from the box and wiped it on Mu Beimo's face.

Mu Beimo was choked and sneezed, and wanted to get up to resist, but was forced back by Yin Kang: "Your Highness, you lie down obediently, the old minister's subordinates know the severity." ”

After a while, Mu Beimo turned pale and weak. Yin Kang felt that he had not enjoyed painting, so he simply ripped off Mu Beimo's clothes and drew a vivid wound where there should have been an arrow wound.

For the sake of realism, Yin Kang still wanted to drop two drops of blood, but looking at Mu Beimo's eyes that were about to kill, he still withdrew his hand in a daze.

The wolf guards looked at it and wanted to laugh, but because of Mu Beimo's face, they didn't dare to really laugh out loud. Because of the discomfort, the flesh on his face twitched.

It didn't make them uncomfortable for long, and Mu Yicheng really brought the imperial doctor to visit in person.

Looking at Mu Beimo, whose face was pale and his breath was weak, Mu Yicheng's eyes were red with distress, and Yin Kang hurriedly stood up to comfort: "My king don't have to be sad, His Highness's injury is not critical, the villain is ten percent sure that His Highness's injury can be cured, just recuperate for ten days and half a month." ”

Mu Yicheng nodded, he knew that Mu Beimo's old retainer was very loyal and had superb medical skills, but he had a strange temper and had his own set of methods for medicine. If the Imperial Doctor is left behind, it may be a bad thing.

"Heal Mo'er's injuries well, and when Mo'er recovers, I will reward you."

In order to act realistically, Yin Kang pretended to be tough: "I, Wang Mingjian, the villain treats His Highness's injuries, but not for reward." ”

Yin Kang's words were offensive, but they were in line with Mu Yicheng's intentions, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Seeing that Mu Beimo on the couch did not look like he was about to wake up, Mu Yicheng sat for a while, and then went back to the palace, and when he left, he told everyone in the East Palace to take good care of Mu Beimo, what medicinal materials does Yin Kang need, just go to the Tai Hospital to get it.

Yin Kang also reminded that Mu Beimo's injuries need to be recuperated, and don't let hundreds of officials come to visit.

Mu Yicheng didn't want Mu Beimo to have too much contact with the courtiers, so he simply ordered that no one should disturb Mu Beimo's recuperation.

Today, Mu Beimo spent so much effort and finally got the result he wanted.

When the sky was getting dark and the city gate was about to close, Mu Beimo took Yin Kang and Wolf Wu out of the city on fast horses.

Wolf Wu showed the East Palace token to the soldiers watching the city gate, and naturally no one dared to stop him.

The three of them each took two horses to transfer, and hurried around the clock, and two days later, they met with the 20,000 private soldiers of Mu Beimo led by Wolf Er before crossing the winter pass.
