Chapter 237: Guarding and Stealing
"Here, is the harem, there is the fourth princess Li Xuan's Royal Highness Dream Palace, Princess Xuan is very favored, before she got married, she lived alone in a palace, the name 'Dream', or His Majesty personally took it. But in order to avoid suspicion, don't get too close to the Ghost Dream Palace, just guard the perimeter. If nothing else, you will stay in the palace for about a month until the work of the Ministry of Works is completed. You first take a good look at the neighborhood today, and then how to arrange the guards, you assign them yourself. I would like to remind you that this is the Imperial Palace, and if anything happens and Your Majesty gets angry, no one, including you, will be able to escape the ground. So be careful. Your father-in-law will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation for you, so I'll leave first. ”
After the officials of the Ministry of Industry finished explaining, they left, and Mu Chen, as the captain, surveyed the surrounding environment, and then found that this area, even if twenty people guarded it, it was enough to inspect every corner. So he divided the 40 people he led into two groups and took four shifts a day.
After arranging the matters of the guards, his eyes turned to the Dreaming Palace, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Here, it is more convenient to go to meet Princess Hyun at night. Of course, in Mu Chen's opinion, the most important thing is to learn Wing Chun. Compared with Baji Boxing, this boxing method is fierce and small, which can be regarded as two extremes, but they complement each other, but Mu Chen's comprehension of boxing methods has improved rapidly.
What is more exciting than the improvement of strength? What's more, staying with Princess Xuan that day, Mu Chen still felt more relaxed and happy, so he didn't rule out this kind of going to Princess Xuan more. If you have to spend a month in the palace, if you have this month to practice Wing Chun, you should be able to learn Wing Chun in general, so that you will have more things to teach Pak Pianpian.
Thinking of the enthusiasm of yesterday's beauty, Mu Chen's heart was also hot. A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Come with me, two women, come with me to meet the princess." After all, our responsibility is to protect Her Royal Highness, and it is still necessary to communicate with Her Highness. ”
Mu Chen's team, there are thirty men and seven or eight women, basically they have more or less heard of Mu Chen's affairs, whether it is strength or status, Mu Chen, who is a captain of Xuanjie University, is well-deserved, and his right to speak and prestige is also full.
Therefore, after he spoke, the two students of the West Academy in the team walked out, and then followed Mu Chen towards the Ghost Dream Palace.
When he came to the palace, he was stopped by a palace maid, Mu Chen smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "I am Mu Renjiu who assisted the palace to guard the princess this time, and I am responsible for the security around the Ghost Dream Palace, I want to discuss it with the princess, and I also ask Miss Xiaoyi to tell me!"
The palace maid who stopped Mu Chen was naturally Xiaoyi. Xiao Yi listened to Mu Chen's words, nodded, turned around and walked into the Dream Palace to tell Princess Xuan, walking on the road still thinking about how Mu Chen knew her name.
In the Palace of Dreams.
Princess Xuan lay on the table in every possible way, playing with a piece of jade at random, but her thoughts had long since flown away.
"Damn, he said that he likes people, and he hasn't come to see me for three days. Ten days is really ten days?
"Strange, why do you always think about that villain. Do I really like him?"
"How could it be. I've only seen him three times, it must be a delusion, yes, it's a delusion, he looks so handsome in the ring, if he's really sincere, it's okay to give him a chance."
Princess Xuan's head shook like a pendulum, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. And at this time, Xiao Yi walked in and said, "Princess, there is someone outside who asks to see you, it is said to be the academy of Jianming Martial Academy, in order to protect your safety." ”
Princess Xuan's thoughts were interrupted, and she waved her hand impatiently, "What Jianming Martial Arts Academy asked him to go, I won't see anyone!"
Xiao Yi nodded, "Oh, then I'll drive him away." After turning around and taking two steps, Xiao Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Ah, it's Mu Ren Jiu, no wonder it's so familiar! Princess, last time we sneaked out of the palace, it seems that this Mu Ren Jiu almost caused us to come back late!"
Princess Xuan raised her head suddenly, "What, you said that the one outside is from the Muren Nine Jianming Martial Academy?"
Xiao Yi nodded suspiciously, "Yes." Muren Nine, that's right!"
Princess Hyun stood up and waved her hand, "Go and invite him in." No, wait! I'll get dressed and invite him in. ”
Princess Xuan walked into the room in a hurry, took out the rouge and gently wiped it on her face, took out a paintbrush and hooked the corners of her eyebrows, and then straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and then sat in the hall and said to Xiaoyi, "Okay, go and invite him in." Don't keep him waiting. ”
Xiao Yi looked at Princess Xuan dumbfounded, and said dumbfounded: "Princess, you are"
Princess Xuan glared at Xiaoyi, "Why are you asking so much, why don't you go quickly?"
Xiao Yi stuck out her tongue, and then walked out of the city to invite Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen followed behind Xiao Yi and came to the Dream Palace, he saw Princess Xuan sitting in the palace, with a reserved and spring breeze smile on her face, graceful and cute, it seemed that from any angle, it was the most perfect picture. The two people behind Mu Chen were stunned, looking at the princess, and then at themselves, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Xiaguan Muren Nine, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Seeing the princess, Mu Chen just arched his hand, and the other two students did the same.
Warriors have arrogant bones, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to their parents, so any warrior above the bone refining period can not worship when he sees the prince and general. At that time, Emperor Qiandi recruited countless martial arts masters and laid down a huge dynasty, in order to show grace and affinity, so this rule was set. And it has been used to this day.
Of course, regulations are regulations. If it is in the court or on a formal occasion, if the ordinary people dare not bow down when they see the emperor, there will definitely be no good end.
"Mu Ren Jiu, it's really you!"
Princess Xuan saw Mu Chen, her face showed joy, and then asked, "Why are you here?"
Mu Chen saw Princess Xuan's appearance, for fear that the events of that night would be exposed, so he coughed dryly and said, "Princess, I am ordered by the Ministry of Industry to guard the safety of the Ghost Dream Palace before the construction of the secret outpost in the imperial city is completed. ”
Princess Xuan's eyes lit up, "In other words, you're going to live in the palace during this time?"
Mu Chen nodded, "Yes, in the next month, the team I lead will protect your safety, princess." ”
Princess Xuan's eyes suddenly became as bright as the stars in the sky, "One month, great!"
Seeing Princess Xuan's excited and happy appearance, Mu Chen couldn't help but cough dryly again, Princess Xuan seemed to have discovered her gaffe, regained her reserved smile, and then said, "Xiaoyi, serve tea, I want to discuss with Captain Mu about the guard work of the Ghost Dream Palace." ”
Mu Chen also turned back to the two students behind him and said, "You guys go back first, I want to discuss the work of the guard with the princess." ”
The two female students looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, and the women's intuition made them sense that there seemed to be something between Mu Chen and Princess Xuan, but as team members, they had to listen to the words of Mu Chen, the captain. Nodding and leaving the Dreaming Palace.
After Xiaoyi served tea, she was driven out of the house by Princess Xuan, and glanced at Mu Chen with a resentful gaze, and then left, leaving only Mu Chen and Princess Xuan in the room.
Princess Xuan looked at Mu Chen tightly with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the latter was uncomfortable and restless.
Princess Xuan's eyes showed a hint of a smile, but there was a look of indifference on her face, and she said, "You actually came to guard the safety of the Ghost Dream Palace, you won't want to guard and steal, right?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, didn't we say that we wouldn't mention the last time." ”
"It's not like there's no one else here. Princess Xuan snorted, and then said, "You still call me Princess?"
"Li Xuan. ”
"That's right. You're here on your own this time?"
"Sort of. Originally, this trip to the palace could have been avoided, but Mu Chen refused Pan Dongsheng's help, so it could be regarded as his own coming.
Princess Xuan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she whispered, "You have a conscience," and then raised her head and said, "Since you are the captain, you don't have to worry about patrolling or anything." Some time ago, there was a thief in the palace, and I was so scared. Since you are the captain, then protect me 'closely'. ”
Mu Chen was stunned. Princess Xuan's eyes immediately widened, "What, you don't want to?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "No, no." ”
"Count you as acquaintances. ”
Princess Xuan snorted lightly, and then spoke, "Wait a minute, I'm going to learn Wing Chun from my teacher, and you, as my bodyguard, go with me." ”
Mu Chen's eyes lit up, Wing Chun, isn't this exactly what he needs? Although he can learn from Princess Xuan, if he can directly listen to the teachings of Princess Xuan, the effect is definitely ten times stronger than learning from Princess Xuan! After all, those who are qualified to teach princess martial arts are definitely those who have attained great attainments in Wing Chun. This kind of person's casual guidance is countless times stronger than self-study.
Princess Xuan took the lead and walked outside, while Mu Chen showed a grateful look behind her. If you don't learn early or late, Princess Xuan went to learn Wing Chun at this time, obviously for him. Mu Chen didn't know this, and the gratitude in his heart for this delicate and lovely princess was also a little more
Just when Mu Chen and Princess Xuan went to learn Wing Chun, a student in Mu Chen's team secretly found a little eunuch in the palace and handed out a note. The note flowed out of the palace in turn, and then came to Xiao's mansion and handed it over to Xiao Chong's hand.
In the study of Xiao's mansion, Xiao Zhong sat at the desk, and opposite him sat a woman in her thirties and forties, who still had charm, and the woman's face was sad, as if she had just experienced a tragedy. And when she saw the note in Xiao Chong's hand, there was a chilling resentment in the narrow Danfeng's eyes.
She is Xiao Ding's biological mother, Xiao Liu.
