Chapter 12: King Han
This summoning was not too long, and after everything was over, the Son of Heaven did not stay in Murong for a long time, but directly sent Sima Lie to lead the forbidden army guards back to Muwang's Mansion together.
Mu Rong knew in his heart that Sima Lie, as the commander of the forbidden army, followed him back, on the one hand, it was a reward from the Son of Heaven, after all, in Mu Wang's Mansion, most people still tried to be loyal to Mu Chaobi, and he couldn't quickly find a trustworthy subordinate.
But on the other hand, it is also the Son of Heaven's surveillance of himself, if he has a disobedient heart, Sima Lie will cut himself off as soon as possible.
Simply so, with the help of Su Ding'an and Sima Lie, Mu Rong spent a little time to completely pacify Mu Wangfu.
During this period, Mu Rong also went to see her mother, and after Mu Chaobi was imprisoned, her mood was obviously stabilized a lot, but she still chose to live in seclusion, and handed over most of the things in this mansion to Mu Rong to deal with alone.
When Mu Rong returned to his room after finishing his day's work, he saw that Liu Qiaoer had already changed her clothes and was sitting at the head of the bed, as if she had been waiting for herself for a long time.
"It's really rare, has Madame waited for me for so long?"
Mu Rong joked jokingly, but for Liu Qiaoer, she didn't feel too much disgust in her heart.
After knowing that this woman was still pure, he also realized that since Liu Qiaoer planned to get close to him and wanted to murder him, there must be an indescribable reason behind it.
"Mu Chaobi has been arrested, and the Son of Heaven has also given me the privilege to deal with Mu Chaobi by myself, without having to send him to Kyoto."
"According to Madame, what should I do with Mu Chaobi?"
"In the final analysis, he is my second uncle after all, blood is thicker than water, we are all a family, he is unkind, but I don't want to be unjust, I can't really take his life."
Mu Rong chuckled and spoke, deliberately asking Liu Qiao'er what she thought.
"About the matter...... I have something else to say. ”
Liu Qiao'er suddenly knelt on the ground and let go of her original arrogant appearance.
"The mother of the concubine...... was arrested by Mu Chaobi, a thief, and now he is also imprisoned together, and I hope that King Mu will let my mother go! ”
"For this reason, the concubine is willing to make cattle and horses for King Mu!"
Liu Qiaoer gritted her teeth and could see that she must be under huge psychological pressure when she looks like she is now.
"It's just one person, and letting her go won't cause any trouble."
"This kind of thing, Madame can just open her mouth, now that you are Princess Mu, why do you come to ask me?"
Mu Rong was smiling, and under Liu Qiaoer's surprised gaze, she picked her up by the waist and pressed her directly on the bed.
It was another night of singing, and early the next morning, when Mu Rong walked out of the room, Ji Chong hurried over, looking anxious, as if something was wrong.
"Something went wrong......"
"Report to Lord Mu, King Han has sent an envoy and is already waiting in the main hall."
The mention of the name King Han also made the original smile on Mu Rong's face disappear in an instant.
When he entered Beijing, the Son of Heaven mentioned the King of Han to himself more than once.
Now...... As soon as he took over the throne of King Mu, King Han really sent someone to come and found him as soon as possible.
And all the contact between himself and the King of Han had better be known to outsiders throughout the process, otherwise, there may be rumors that are unfavorable to him to be spread.
After thinking of this, Mu Rong also set off, changed his clothes, and went to greet him in person.
But when he walked to the main hall, he was greeted by a bear hug.
Waiting for the other party to let go of himself, Mu Rong showed a surprised expression, but what caught his eye at this time was a middle-aged man wearing a red python pattern official uniform, a dense beard, and a strong smell of alcohol.
"Hahaha......"
"Is this King Mu?"
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Sure enough, it's a young talent, speaking of which, when you were young, this king once hugged you, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you would look so tall and big!"
The other party laughed loudly, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him.
This king?
After hearing this, Mu Rong's face immediately changed slightly.
Could it be ...... Is the one in front of him the rumored King of Han?
"Originally, it was an envoy, but I never thought that it was King Han who came in person, which really flattered me."
Mu Rong also hurriedly asked his subordinates to serve tea and entertain, and he wanted to lead King Han to sit down first, but the other party kept standing still, just staring at Mu Rong.
"There's no need for this hospitality."
"The reputation of this king, this king himself still knows it, outsiders only say that this king has a rebellious heart, and sneers at this king, if you stay here for a long time, I am afraid that His Majesty the emperor will also be suspicious of you, right?"
"That's it, this king doesn't care about the eyes of others, it's just that he simply wants to come and see you, the new Mu King, after all, the territory of our two families is next to each other, if we have a good relationship in the future, it is good to take care of each other, right?"
King Han smiled and spoke, looking very hearty, but not as rumored, he was a sinister and cunning person.
"In the past, the first emperor had more than a dozen sons, and each of them was crowned king, but unfortunately, most of those old brothers have died early."
"Even the eldest brother died soon after he ascended the throne."
"The current emperor, although he is my eldest nephew, has not inherited the kindness of his eldest brother at all, and what he has in his bones is all how to deal with his own family."
"You have to be careful, don't go to the end, because you are too gullible to trust Your Majesty, and you will fall into a catastrophe ......from which you will never recover."
King Han kept patting Mu Rong's shoulder, and then left laughing without saying anything else.
Mu Rong had a solemn face, and he couldn't see through this His Royal Highness the King of Han at all.
If you are from a certain level, you still have to respect this uncle of the Han King, but ...... King Han's performance made him a little confused.
He himself does not match the description of the outside world at all, but is more like a simple-minded man.
And when the other party came on this trip, he didn't mean to win him over at all, but just reminded himself quietly.
Finally...... His Majesty the Son of Heaven or the rumored notorious King of Han, who is more credible?
Mu Rong sighed lightly, it seems that the position of King Mu is indeed not easy to sit in.
