Huainan Wangfu Shouzhou Castle Huainan Wangfu is located in the southeast corner of Shouzhou Castle, unlike other vassal kings who built their palaces in the center of the capital.

In addition to its special location, the regulations of this Huainan palace are also different from those of other vassal palaces.

First of all, there are 63 nails on the gate of the palace, and 81 nails on the gate of the palace.

However, there are sixty-four door nails on the gate of Huainan Palace, which obviously does not conform to the regulations of the Dayu Dynasty.

But after so many years, the Dayu Imperial Court has not had any objections to this. Everyone has their own speculations about this, and the most reliable theory is because the extra doornail was buckled from the broken palace gate when the first king of Huainan, that is, the prince of Beiyu, escaped from the capital.

Hence this door nail is also called

"Wangsi nail" means to look back at the past when you see this door nail, but later after the establishment of the Nanyu Dynasty, the first Huainan king wrote to call the minister

"Wangsi Nail" was changed

"Forget the nail" means to forget the past. In order to stabilize the situation at that time, and also to show his benevolence and generosity, Emperor Nanyu at that time no longer pursued the matter.

After that, successive emperors were secretive about the extra nail on the gate of Huainan Palace. But this is just a legend, and it is impossible to verify what happened.

In addition to the fact that the gate of this Huainan palace is different from that of other vassal kings, the size of his palace is also completely different from that of other vassal kings.

Compared with the magnificent palace gate, the entire Huainan palace is much shabby. This is not so much a royal mansion as it is just a manor, there are no intriguing palaces and palaces, no cloister pavilions with carved beams and paintings, and no ponds full of lotus flowers.

There are only a few slightly larger houses in the whole palace. And there are no intricate carved floor tiles between these houses, and some are just some bluestone slabs that have been polished to a bright surface.

Such a shabby royal palace is much worse than a wealthy merchant's house, let alone the mansions of other feudal kings.

But it is such a palace, and the kings of Huainan in the past dynasties have lived happily. To say that the kings of Huainan in the past dynasties had no money to repair this Huainan palace, they also looked down on Huainan too much.

This Huainan country is located in the south of the Dayu Dynasty, and it is also far away from the coastal zone, so it can be said that the climate is pleasant.

As an important grain producing area of the Dayu Dynasty, Huainan sent a large amount of rice and grain to the Dayu Dynasty every year.

In addition, Huainan is close to Huaishui, and its transportation is also very developed, so the entire Huainan country has also become the place where the north and south of the Dayu Dynasty meet.

Every year, the light transportation can bring a lot of tax revenue to Huainan country. Therefore, the successive kings of Huainan did not repair the Huainan Palace, definitely not because they had no money.

"Your Royal Highness, the people who were released have returned, and we have figured out the identities of those people in the inn yesterday." In a study in the Huainan Palace, a servant was reporting to the prince of Huainan.

"Oh? Tell me about it! Mu Qingyun put down the book in his hand and raised his head and said.

"The young man who answered with you yesterday is named Li Yi."

"Li Yi, I don't seem to have heard of this name, but I look at his words and deeds and the attitude of his companions towards him, it seems that this person should be a child of a certain family, do you know which family he is from?" Mu Qingyun asked curiously.

"Back to Your Highness, this Li Yi is not a child of a family, he is just a person of unknown origin." The servant said immediately.

"Unknown origin? Could it be that you didn't probe carefully enough to dig up the real details of him? "For his servant, Li Yi is an unknown person of unknown origin, Mu Qingyun doesn't believe it.

Because according to Li Yi's temperament, he is not like the poor family himself at all, and even in his opinion, ordinary small families cannot cultivate a character like Li Yi.

"Your Highness, it's not that we didn't investigate carefully, it's just that this Li Yi's origin is indeed quite mysterious, and even the guys in the Prosecutor's Office have only found out this information." The servant replied with some nervousness.

"Then apart from this Li Yi, can you find out the identities of other people?" Mu Qingyun saw that the servant was a little nervous, so he asked again.

"We have found out the identities of several others, and the only woman among them is the granddaughter of Qi Siqi, the former servant of the ministry, and the youngest of those people is her younger brother."

"Qi Siqi? This old fox is also considered a veteran of the two dynasties, although he is only a servant of the ministry, but in the officialdom known as the reputation of the sea god, but two years ago he suddenly proposed to Shi, originally my father and I thought that this old guy was a torrent and retreated, but now it seems that this guy probably knew that the world would be turbulent next, and he was wise in advance to protect himself. Mu Qingyun said with a playful expression.

"Your Highness, can this Qi Siqi have insight into the situation in the world two years ago?" The servant also knew about Qi Siqi, but he didn't believe that anyone could have insight into the general situation of the world two years ago.

"Don't underestimate this Qi Siqi, or you can't underestimate those officials in the Dayu court." Mu Qingyun shook his head and said.

"Humph! also said that this Li Yi is a nobody, if it is a nobody, how can Qi Siqi let his grandson and granddaughter follow him.

Mu Qingyun snorted coldly and said. His cold snort made the servant who reported tremble in fright. "What is the identity of everyone else except Qi Siqi's grandson and granddaughter?"

"There are a few of them who are more ordinary, one of them seems to have been a bandit leader before, and several of them are gangsters in the city of Luozhou."

"Huh? You say there are bandits and gangsters among them? Mu Qingyun originally confidently thought that Li Yi was a child of a certain family, but when he heard that Li Yi's companions had such people, he couldn't help frowning.

"Who else are among them?" Mu Qingyun continued to ask.

"In addition, there is one person who is likely to be a remnant of the Buddhist family according to his usual habits, and the other two are ······."

"Wait, you said one of them could be a remnant of the Buddhist family?" Mu Qingyun immediately interrupted the servant's words.

"Yes, Your Highness, according to our people's investigation, that person's usual demeanor and actions have traces of Buddhism."

"It's a bit interesting, so the people behind Mu Qingliang's stupid guy are likely to be Li Yi and these people. In an instant, Mu Qingyun guessed the truth of the matter.

"Then Your Highness, can we take action to capture Li Yi and the others now?" The servant asked tentatively.

"It's not time yet, I'm going to have to use them to lure out some of the fish hidden underwater!" Mu Qingyun immediately rejected the suggestion made by the servant.

"You go on, who are the others except for the person who is suspected of being a Buddhist?"

"There are two other people that we haven't found out any information, but after our people observed, they found that these two people don't seem to be from our Dayu Dynasty, they seem to be from the grassland tribe." Although the servant was still unsure of the specific situation of Hai Yin and Yu Zhenlei, the momentum of the two servants really shocked him.

Especially the seemingly inconspicuous middle-aged man, although he looked thin, the servant always felt that he was more dangerous than the tall man.

"Grassland people, it seems that Li Yi and the others fled back from the north!" Mu Qingyun muttered to himself.

"By the way, I remember that there was a man with a sword with them at the time, can you figure out his identity?" Mu Qingyun suddenly remembered that there was another person beside Li Yi at that time, although he didn't speak, and he didn't even make the slightest movement, but Mu Qingyun always felt that that person was the most dangerous person in Li Yi's group.

"Regarding the identity of this person, I think His Highness should have heard of it." finally said that Li Yi was the best person by his side.

"Oh, what is the famous man in the rivers and lakes who can make you so excited?" Mu Qingyun had already seen that when the last person was mentioned, his servant immediately showed an irrepressible look of excitement.

"Your Highness, the last person holding the sword, but the same surname as you is Mu!" The servant did not report all Mu Junhe's identities in one go.

"The surname Mu! With a sword! Are you talking about the ······?" In an instant, Mu Qingyun's face also changed, and he had already guessed Mu Junhe's identity.

"Yes, Your Highness, that person is indeed Mu Junhe, the number one swordsman in the world, and his subordinates have already found someone to confirm, and they all agree that that person is Mu Junhe."

"Why did this Mu Junhe get involved with Li Yi?" Mu Qingyun's face was a little solemn at this time. Although Mu Junhe is also regarded as the bloodline of the Nanyu royal family, it does not affect his worship of Mu Junhe at all.

In his opinion, there are so many royal families surnamed Mu in the world, whether they are Nanyu or Beiyu, and no one in the younger generation can compare with Mu Junhe.

This is not because Mu Junhe has achieved the reputation of the world's number one swordsman, but because Mu Junhe has never cared about his identity as a royal family surnamed Mu, and he said that all the achievements he has achieved are all killed by him with one sword.

And after he became famous, he did not change his original intention because of this, and even disdained the emperor's solicitation.

For this reason, he was even chased and intercepted by many masters of Nansi, but now he can still jump around.

"Your Highness, according to our people's reports, Li Yi usually calls Senior Brother Mu Daxia, and Mu Daxia also calls him Senior Brother." The servant continued.

"Senior brother? Bro? This Li Yi turned out to be Mu Junhe's junior brother, it seems that this kid not only has an unusual background, but it is estimated that even his martial arts are extremely strong. Mu Qingyun didn't care much about Li Yi and the others originally, the reason why he arranged someone to investigate the identities of Li Yi and the others before was entirely because he wanted to use Li Yi to divert the attention of the court forces and the secret agents of the vassal kings who were ambushed in Shouzhou City.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Yi, whom he found casually, had such a complicated background.

"Have you let the wind out now?" After thinking for a while, Mu Qingyun asked.

"Your Highness has already instructed me to go down on this matter before I return." The servant stepped forward with a flattering look on his face and said.

"Hey, since the news has been spread, there is no way, you let everyone continue to investigate those people, and if there is any trouble, you must report it to me immediately.

"No, Your Highness, there will definitely be no omissions in this matter, those people are under our surveillance, and now our people have completely stared them to death, to put it bluntly, now they will record even if they change our crotch cloth." The servant said confidently.

"You must deal with this matter carefully, and don't show any, otherwise it will not be so easy to find out the guy who hides the deepest." Mu Qingyun reminded with a solemn face.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we are all very careful."

"By the way, what's going on with my second brother?" After talking about Li Yi and the secret agents hidden in Huainan Kingdom, Mu Qingyun mentioned his younger brother Mu Qingxiao again.

"Back to Your Highness, two days ago, from the military reports that came back, it seems that Your Second Highness is now confronting the grassland army in Hanzhou, and it is believed that the current grassland army is being blocked in the north of Hanzhou by the reinforcements of various vassal countries."

"Did Qingxiao go into battle in person? Are you hurt? "It is said that when you go to the battlefield, you have no eyes on the sword, and if you are not careful, you will be seized by the opponent, so it is not uncommon to be injured on the battlefield.

But Mu Qingyun was still worried about his brother's safety.

"Now there are more than ten days left before my mother's death day, and it is also Qingxiao's birthday, and he can only spend his birthday outside this year." Mu Qingyun sighed and said.

When he was a child, Mu Qingyun didn't like his younger brother very much, and the reason was because his mother died of a blood collapse when giving birth to his younger brother.

Therefore, he hated his brother very much for a while, because at that time he thought that his brother had killed his mother.

But when he was a little older, he was relieved to think that his mother had told him to take care of his younger brother before she died.

Because the death of his mother is heartbreaking for him, but it is also unforgettable for his younger brother.

Therefore, in order to let his younger brother live happily, Mu Qingyun has been working hard to play the role of the eldest brother.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the letter said that although the grassland tribe is menacing this time, they are already tired from fighting all the way from the north, so when they arrive in Hanzhou, they will lose the biggest advantage of the grassland tribe: speed."

"Having said that, but the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, not to mention the grassland tribe, I am afraid that Qingxiao will take the initiative to find the grassland tribe to fight to the death." Mu Qingyun pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly. ”

"Your Highness, I don't think Your Royal Highness will be like that, after all, in addition to Your Royal Highness, there is also You Dashuai in my Huainan Army, You Dashuai is a veteran and he has rich combat experience, and His Second Highness is still his apprentice, If You Dashuai, His Royal Highness will still listen carefully." The servant said in a soothing voice.

"I hope so, by the way, you will arrange for the following to prepare in advance for this year's worship of my mother.

"No, my subordinates will do it!" With that, the servant walked out of Mu Qingyun's study, leaving Mu Qingyun alone in the room half-lying on the chair, recalling his mother's face that was about to become completely blurred.
