Guo Huan turned around a few times and said, "What does the virtuous brother think of the current court situation?" ”

"The younger brother has just arrived, and he hasn't been in the capital for much time, so he really has a dark eye on the things in the court, and I ask the eldest brother for more advice."

Guo Huan bowed slightly, "Brother Xian doesn't know, although I secretly serve His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince treats me with the courtesy of a countryman, of course, Guo Mou is not reluctant to His Royal Highness the Prince, but now His Majesty is hiding in the Taiji Palace to ask for immortal medicine, although on the surface he entrusts all the national affairs to the prince, in fact, he has temporarily established a Xuanzheng Yuan in the Taiji Palace. ”

"Several important ministers in the DPRK led by the left prime minister Huo Zheng accompanied the driver, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the right prime minister Cui Mian have sent the backup to the Xuanzheng Yuan every day to deal with the government affairs, and all military affairs have to be decided by His Majesty today."

"The establishment of this Xuanzheng Yuan is equivalent to setting up another inner court in Taiji Palace, the actual power is still in the hands of His Majesty today, the prince is a little careless in handling government affairs, and he is to blame at every turn, don't look at the spring breeze of His Royal Highness the Prince, but in fact, he is cautious as if he is walking on thin ice, and he does not dare to make a slight mistake, it is really difficult to do!"

Mu Sheng said in his heart when he heard this, this is the specific situation that only a prince like Guo Huan can understand, and it is normal for the emperor to operate like this, just like what Wu Xie analyzed with him before.

The old leader is also afraid that the young successor will not fall off, and the daily beating is certain, and he is afraid that he will be hollowed out before he officially retires, which will be a tragedy.

Mu Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heavy responsibility of the society, this may be His Majesty's hard work for the Prince." ”

Guo Huan said, "Well, you are right, to say something disrespectful, as long as the crown prince can survive the current majesty, the prince will be able to come out." ”

This kind of rebellious words are also said in private, which shows that Guo Huan does trust Mu Sheng himself a lot.

Guo Huan suddenly frowned and asked, "Brother Xian, I have a question, Brother Xian is a cultivator, is there an immortal art of immortality in this world?" ”

Mu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and understood, Guo Huan was actually afraid that if the emperor Lao'er cultivated to a positive fruit, it would really be a thousand generations and dominate the rivers and lakes, and His Royal Highness the prince would definitely never come out, and one person would not be able to attain the Tao, and even the chickens and dogs with their vassal princes would have no way out.

Mu Sheng gave the answer after a little thought, and said, "What I know is that even if you cultivate to the level of Heavenly Venerable of the Four Phases and One Realm, it is only an increase in the longevity of three or four hundred years old, and a few powerful old monsters can live to be about five hundred years old. ”

"Even the old monster of the Tianzun level can be counted on one hand in the world, longevity and Tianqi, immortality is just the fantasy of a fool and a foolish woman, it is impossible, this is against the heavenly way of reincarnation of birth and destruction, even this universe that contains all things will always have a day of destruction, there is a beginning and an end, not to mention the mortal fetus, immortality is just wishful thinking......"

Speaking of this, Mu Sheng's mind flashed the weird pantheric pill that Zhang Daoling refined for His Majesty, and then changed his words: "Maybe it is possible for His Majesty to cultivate immortals and take pills to prolong his life for a few years, but it is absolutely impossible to live forever, this ancient era has been thousands of years now, and there are many people in this world who are obsessed with cultivating immortals and immortals, have you ever heard of who can really live forever?" If someone really did it, could this world still be the world of Dajin? ”

Guo Huan stretched his brows when he heard this, sighed and said, "What the virtuous brother said is yes, in the era of the nations, I was the ancestor of the Chen Kingdom, Chen Wu, the king of the heroic generation, who dominated the world, and was also obsessed with cultivating immortals and immortals, but he was poisoned by erysipelas at the age of confusion and died violently in the palace. ”

Mu Sheng sighed when he heard this: "What the eldest brother said is yes! At that time, Chen Guo was the first overlord in the eastern vassal states, Chen Guo was hegemonic, with the fierce power of the tiger and wolf of the Jin State back then, he did not dare to take a step into the Central Plains in the east for decades, Wu mourned Wang Xu, Chen Guo was in turmoil, and King Wu did not set up a prince during his lifetime, resulting in the princes competing for the throne, and the civil war continued, and then it caused the civil strife that lasted for decades in Chen State, and Chen Guo finally missed the opportunity to rise, it is a pity, a pity! ”

Guo Huan felt the same way when he heard this, and sighed, "Brother Xian said well, my Chen State is the most unjust in the country, when the Jin Kingdom saw my Chen civil strife, he took advantage of the weakness to enter, and wiped out the 300,000 elites of my Chen State in the first battle, ceded the land and paid compensation, and hurt the vitality, if it could be delayed for a few years at that time, it may not be able to revive the hegemony, alas! ”

Guo Huan mentioned the events of the year, and his tone still couldn't help but reveal indignation.

Mu Sheng changed his words and said, "But big brother, please rest assured, now that the prince has been established early, the name has been decided, the prince will always have a bright day, time is on our side, we people are careful and wait, the prince will succeed to the throne, and I will fly sooner or later." ”

Guo Huan smiled when he heard this, "Hahaha, good!" I am relieved to have the words of the virtuous brother, and now His Majesty has the right prime minister Cui Yan on his side, and the prince is actually quite comfortable, but the prince of the Nine Emperors has added a lot of obstacles to us in private. ”

Mu Sheng recalled the sassy and heroic appearance at last year's winter hunting conference.

"Childe Xiu?"

Guo Huan said, "Yes, Gongzi Xiu, this person has great ambitions, his ambitions are not small, and he has secretly attracted many courtiers, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been named fourteen years ago, and these Nine Emperor Princes do not dare to fight with us openly, but they have made a lot of stumbling blocks in private." ”

"In fact, both of us understand that Gongzi Xiu is just a pawn that His Majesty intends to support to balance the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is clear what the two sides are after fighting in private for so many years, and what kind of cards the two sides are most worried about at the moment is not the Nine Emperor Princes, but the Fourteenth Prince Gongzi Sheng, Changping Jun, who His Majesty has recently suddenly enthroned!"

Mu Sheng was suddenly shocked, he didn't want to go around and around to him? What this person is most afraid of is not knowing the opponent, and the fear comes from the unknown......

Mu Sheng had no choice but to pretend to be surprised and asked, "Big brother, what's so special about this Changpingjun?" I've never heard of this person before. ”

Guo Huan said, "Brother Xian doesn't know, since Your Majesty cultivated immortals in Taiji Palace, the prince has been in charge of the country for three years, and six or seven out of ten courtiers have already sided with His Royal Highness the Prince, either openly or secretly, and the power of the Nine Emperors is completely insufficient to balance the prince." ”

"Your Majesty must be clear in his heart, so he suddenly enshrined this fourteen princes as Changping Jun, our analysis may be that His Majesty wants to focus on supporting Gongzi Sheng to balance the situation of the prince's family, this Gongzi Sheng is the prince born to Zhao Ji, the emperor's favorite wife back then, and now we don't know the details of this Changping Jun, but now Changping Jun has just been canonized, and it will take time to cultivate his own team, don't worry, now I have one thing here that you need to do."

Mu Shengxin said okay, it seems that this is going to be accepted.

"Big brother, but please command, little brother don't dare to disobey."

Guo Huan handed Mu Sheng a portrait and said, "This person's name is Wan Jiu, he is a local tyrant in Qin Wu, Lu County, Hedong County, relying on his strong martial arts, and colluding with the local officials in private, he actually swallowed a few salt mines of my Guo someone, you know that the eldest brother used to sell smuggled salt for a living, and in order to do things for the prince over the years, he has the protection of the prince, and this private salt business has not stopped." ”

"The so-called rich man, it is difficult for a man without money, whether it is for the prince or for my own private affairs, as long as I do things, I need money, you should understand."

Guo Huan paused in his tone and said, "This matter is not easy to put on the table, this Wan Jiu is a hard kung fu martial arts nine-stage master, it is quite difficult to deal with, I sent several groups of people and horses and there is no news, do you see if you are sure to get rid of him?" ”

Mu Sheng looked at the big man with a meaty face in the portrait, and said in his heart, the master of the nine sections? is barely able to deal with it, the martial arts kung fu is up to twelve duan, and the strength of these nine duans can already walk sideways on the rivers and lakes, but it's a pity that his fate is not good to meet a cultivator like him.

With Mu Sheng's strength now, he is almost up to the master of the ninth section of the rivers and lakes, it can be said that he is not equal, this is not counting the magic weapons and various auxiliary spells in his hand, Mu Sheng secretly calculated in his heart, he should be able to deal with it, even if he can't beat it, it's still no problem.

If Mu Sheng cultivated to the realm of Qi Pulse Source Flow and reached the high-level Heavenly Master-level cultivator, then the heroes of the rivers and lakes, even if they were the supreme masters of the Twelve Stages of Gang Qi Protection, would be the object of casual kneading, and his opponents would only be monks who were also cultivators.

Mu Sheng bowed and said, "Big brother, little brother will not disgrace his mission." ”

"Good! Good! If my brother can pull out this thorn in my heart for me, I will definitely recommend a good brother to the prince. ”

Guo Huan clapped his hands suddenly, only to see a young warrior in a strong suit who looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old flashing out of the door of the lobby.

Guo Huan introduced, "Brother Liu Xian, this Yao Ji is a Jin person, who has followed me for ten years, he is my right-hand man, his martial arts are barely in the stream, but he is better than being quick-witted, this operation will give you a start, and at the same time, I will also send twenty-five Jianghu Qiduan kung fu masters to help you, this Wanjiu is too many to be underestimated, I hope to help you a little." ”

Mu Sheng turned around and saluted Yao Ji with a fist, "Brother Yao, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Yao Ji also clasped his fists and saluted, "Brother Liu's sword dance that day really made me admire, I was all doing errands for my eldest brother, and I was determined to live up to my mission." ”

Guo Huan waved his hand and said, "Okay, Yao Ji, you go to prepare first, and De Xin'er will contract with my virtuous brother to go to Hedong County to handle Wanjiu, a dog thief." ”

Yao Ji Yingnuo turned around and left

Guo Huan turned his face and said, "Brother Xian, do you think it's good to arrange it like this?" ”

Mu Sheng arched his hand and said, "Big brother's arrangement is very proper!" ”

Guo Huan smiled and said, "Okay! Good! Then I'll wait for good news in the capital. ”

Saying goodbye to Guo Huan, Mu Sheng returned to the inn to prepare some change of clothes, he took out the magic weapon sword and touched its smooth blade, and muttered to it, "It seems that you are going to drink blood for the first time in my hands......"

In fact, he is only sixty percent sure of dealing with Mu Sheng, a master of the ninth section, although Mu Sheng's actual combat ability is not bad under the abuse of his senior brother, but after all, it is the first time he has gone out of the novice village, and he has too little experience in fighting with others, and he is still a little sweaty and nervous in his palms, no matter what, sooner or later he has to bow down to enter the game, and it is not okay to avoid it!

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Sheng sent a message to Guo Huan's subordinates and rode his horse to the river on the outskirts of the city to wait, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, he only heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and knew that they were also coming.

Mu Sheng saw that it was Yao Ji who was the leader, and he was followed by twenty warriors, but they were disguised as merchants, and when they saw them coming, Mu Sheng turned over and went to meet them, and nodded to Yao Ji even if he had said hello

Ji Yao gave an order, "Let's go." ”

The knights were the first to pull the reins.

Along the way, everyone didn't take the official road much, mainly taking the small road, for fear that someone with a heart would track it down after finishing the work.

Mu Sheng has also been observing Yao Ji and the others along the way, looking at their style of acting, he feels that this group of people under Guo Huan is very likely to be the black gloves who are secretly working for His Royal Highness the Prince.

The so-called black gloves are the kind of things that are responsible for inquiring about the master's news, occasionally engaging in assassinations and other things that cannot be on the table, the prince is a figure on the table, and it is inconvenient to come forward and still have to rely on their group of people.

Needless to say, it took more than ten days to rush to Lu County, Hedong County, and in this era, there is no way to do it under the traffic conditions.

A few days later, dozens of people finally saw the tall Luxian city wall in the distance, this road is really not easy, everyone disguised themselves as merchants at the city gate - after exchanging customs clearance documents, Mu Sheng also followed Yao Ji to an inn to rest and recuperate.
