"Don't interrupt!" Mu Ruqing glared at Mu Ruchanghai, "What trouble is not something you can solve now, you can just listen to my arrangement with peace of mind!"

Mu Ru Changhai also became energetic when he heard this, "No, that's my brother, father, tell me what's going on!"

"Xiaohai, this matter is indeed a bit complicated, I know you are worried about Zhou Ping and them, but even if you know about it, I'm afraid it won't help him. Chen Bi'an walked to Mu Ruchanghai's side and said softly, "You have more important tasks now, understand?"

Although Mu Ru Changhai's stubborn temper is the same as his Lao Tzu, he is still very obedient to Chen Bi'an's words as the division commander, nodding in response, Mu Ru Changhai was comforted by Chen Bi'an and obediently sat on the chair, sighing slightly, "What is the second thing?"

"The second thing isn't a big deal. Mu Ruqing scratched his eyelids a little weakly, and said vaguely, "There is a throne that I want you to inherit." ”

"What?" Mu Ru Changhai was stupid when he heard this, he slowly stood up and asked cautiously, "Father, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"I'm not kidding you. Mu Ruqing stretched out without caring about the image, and said with a smile: "This trip to Chang'an City will definitely involve many incidents, if you continue to bear the identity of the emperor of the southern country, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to the southern country, we have seen your efforts during this time, and you have been able to take charge on your own." ”

"After all, we can rest assured that we will hand over the southern kingdom to you. ”

Chen Bi'an and Chu Li nodded in unison, what Mu Ruqing said was right, the current Mu Ru Changhai is no longer the young man who only knew how to be angry with his father back then, his ability is obvious to everyone in Kyoto City, and it is indeed the most suitable for him to manage the southern country.

Listening to Mu Ruqing's words, Mu Ru Changhai was a little stunned, Mu Ruqing has always been extremely strict with his management, he felt that he had worked hard in the past few years, but Mu Ruqing had never praised him so much, and suddenly said such a thing to him today, Mu Ru Changhai had mixed feelings, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I know that you have always wanted to go to Chang'an City to work hard with Zhou Ping and them, and I was the same back then, but do you know why I chose to stay in Nanguo in the end?"

Mu Ruchanghai shook his head silently, he knew that this matter had always been a regret in Mu Ruqing's heart, but Mu Ruqing had never mentioned it to him before today, and today Mu Ruqing actually broke these words with him, thinking that he was really determined to leave.

"We are indeed good brothers, and I really want to go out with them, but I can't do that, because in addition to being their brother, I was also the prince of the southern kingdom. ”

Mu Ruqing's expression was a little complicated, he knew that after today, Mu Ruchanghai would follow the same old path as him, but he had no choice, just like the helplessness when he inherited the throne back then.

"Although I was the crown prince of the southern kingdom back then, in fact, I didn't want to be the emperor at all, at that time your imperial uncle wanted to fight with me for power, I was actually very happy in my heart, isn't it the throne, you will give it to you if you want, anyway, Lao Tzu wants to go out with his brothers, this is a double win!"

"Although I think so, but there is always a gap between the ideal and the reality, even if I break these truths and crumple them and tell your imperial uncle, he still doesn't believe me, in his opinion, only if I die can he sit on the throne, I really have no way to compete with him for power. But what if he wins the fight? After all, I am still bound to the south by this throne, and I have won the throne, but I have also lost my life!"

"Sometimes, I really hope that you can have a brother, when the time comes, he will inherit the throne, you go out to wander, not to mention anything else, you are the ultimate soul plant, how can you not break out of the world? But there is no way! I am such a son as you, you are still so capable, in addition to handing over the throne to you, who can I rest assured?"

Looking at the helplessness on his father's face, Mu Ru Changhai sighed, he understood what Mu Ruqing said, but if he inherited the throne, it meant that he would have to shoulder the responsibility of governing the entire southern country, and he would be locked in Kyoto City for at least half of his life!

Mu Ru Changhai covered his face, his mood was very complicated, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were in a dilemma, if he had to be loyal to his brotherhood and go to Chang'an City, then Mu Ruqing would definitely have to deal with a lot of troubles alone in the future, but if he stayed in Kyoto City to succeed to the throne as emperor for filial piety, then he couldn't help his brother when he was in the most danger......

The three elders didn't speak at this time, although they really wanted Mu Ru Changhai to stay in Kyoto, but if they said it personally, it would be equivalent to them forcibly cutting off his future, which was really cruel.

After struggling for a long time, Mu Ru Changhai finally put down his hand and nodded with a sad face.

In fact, he also understands that the trouble that Zhou Ping is encountering now is definitely not a trivial matter, even if he goes to Chang'an City, a cultivator with three serious injuries, I am afraid that he will not be able to help him, stay in Kyoto to succeed to the throne and manage the southern country, and let his father Mu Ruqing go to Chang'an City, how can it be more useful than him.

"You can go to Chang'an with confidence. Mu Ru Changhai sorted out his expression and said in a deep voice, "Leave it to me here in the southern country, I will definitely not let you down!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, they all nodded with satisfaction, Mu Ruqing pursed her lips, stood up a little choked and walked to her son and hugged him in her arms.

"Actually, I had a desire to stay in the south back then. Mu Ruqing held back tears and said, "Nanguo is the home of the brothers, I take care of the home for the brothers, even if the brothers are hurt outside, they really can't get along, so they can still have a place to stay when they come back, understand?"

Mu Ruchanghai patted Mu Ruqing's back with a smile and said softly, "I understand, I understand." ”

"No matter when, I will definitely give my brothers a good home, definitely!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Mu Ru Changhai finally couldn't control his emotions, tears flowed down his cheeks, he didn't want to go out and go out with his brothers, but he couldn't!

Just like Chu Li and Chen Bi'an, who couldn't accommodate themselves in Chang'an City back then, if Zhou Ping, Zhang Xiaoyue and the others couldn't get along in Chang'an City, he had to be the last layer of backing for his brothers. It's not fear, it's not retreat, it's another kind of perseverance!

Chen Bi'an's eyes were also a little moist when he heard this, when Zhou Ping died, he was damaged by Li Qixian in Qingliang Mountain, and he was decadent and inhuman, if it wasn't for Mu Ruqing who had been helping him and giving him a place to live in the Sage Academy, I'm afraid he would have been living on the streets.

The father and son hugged each other for a long time, Mu Ru Changhai slowly broke free from his father's arms, and said with a smile, "When you arrive in Chang'an City, don't forget to help me say hello to Zhou Ping and them." ”

"Tell them that Xiaohai will always be waiting for them in the south. ”

After saying that, Mu Ru Changhai saluted Chen Bi'an and Chu Li respectively, turned around and left resolutely.

Mu Ruqing stood at the door and watched for a long time, until Mu Ruchanghai's back completely disappeared from his sight, he finally couldn't hold back and began to sob.

This man, who has been the emperor of the southern kingdom for decades, has only cried twice in front of his brothers, once when everyone went to Chang'an and he was the only one left, and once when he learned of Zhou Ping's death, and today this is the third time.

Some people may not always appear in front of you, but they have always existed in your world, silently holding on to places you can't see, and sometimes being watched behind your back is also a kind of happiness.

Chu Li and Chen Bi'an patted Mu Ruqing's shoulder in unison, and they didn't say anything, because in their opinion, the word brother is not on their lips, but engraved in their hearts.

Mu Ruqing held their hands, and said with a gloomy face, "Back then, the Tang Emperor Li Chunhao designed to kill the eldest brother and forced you out of Chang'an City, and now he is doing it to Zhou Ping and Chu Ci's juniors, is it really impossible for us to make mud?"

"Back then, our brothers had no backstage, so they could only be slaughtered by you, but now it's different! Nanguo is already different from the past, this time to Chang'an, I will definitely get back the justice that should be done! New accounts and old accounts will be settled together!"
