When Xia Muchao travels, he must take two people, one is Lu Jianting and the other is Zhou Xukuan, both of whom are the guards of the Jaw Palace. Lu Jianting is thin and tall and bearded, with sharp eyebrows, his words are witty but he never loses his sense of proportion, although his martial arts are not as good as the top ten personal guards such as Han Qi and Chongming, but they are not far behind, he is a wonderful person who is Yunwen and Yunwu. Zhou Xu is white-skinned and slightly fat, sophisticated and steady in his behavior, but never dull, always giving people a sense of wisdom and restraint. With the two of them accompanying him, Xia Muchao has never been out of the half-point pool.

The guards of the general's mansion had already been replaced by the internal guard battalion soldiers brought by Xia Muchao from the capital at this time. Seeing Mei Yuanchen dismount in front of the mansion gate and leading the horse over, a palace guard shouted and asked, "Who dares to come here to make trouble?"

Mei Yuanchen was stunned, and replied with his hand: "Please report to the eldest brother of the Yacha, and say that Mei Yuanchen wants to see His Royal Highness the Jaw King." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! Your Royal Highness, can you see it when you say it?Go and go! Quickly retreat to avoid the calamity of unwarrantedness!" When the Nafu Wei heard that he wanted to see the King of the Jaws, he couldn't help waving his hands and rebuked loudly.

"It's... Then you go first..."Mei Yuanchen wanted to ask the palace guard to inform Lu Jianting, but he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Yuanchen Gongzi, you are here!" It was Zhou Xukuan who was rushing back to the mansion from outside. Nafu Wei heard Zhou Xukuan call Mei Yuanchen like this, knowing that Mei Yuanchen's identity was by no means ordinary, his face couldn't help but shrank, and he looked at him nervously.

"Uncle Zhou, is my father-in-law in the house?" Mei Yuanchen turned around and stepped forward to say Zhou Xukuan.

"Hehe, at this time, the prince is naturally in the house. Let's go, I'm also about to go to see the prince. Zhou Xukuan replied with a chuckle as he walked over. Seeing him pause beside him, Nafu Wei was so frightened that he was about to kneel, but he heard him say in a straight voice: "You just do your part, don't be afraid of offending people." Yuanchen Gongzi is the righteous son of the prince, you didn't know before, and no one will blame you. After speaking, he smiled and took Mei Yuanchen to Xia Muchao's director's place.

The General's Mansion is an official residence rather than Guo Zimu's private residence, and it is not exquisite because of the decoration of the mansion, and it cannot be compared with the scenery of the Jaw Palace. However, Xia Muchao did not come here to enjoy the scenery, at this time he had already learned about the war situation in Suzhou, and knew that Mei Siyuan and Xu Dingan were both seriously injured and recuperating, so he took over Anxian's civil and military affairs and personally supervised them. Since the time of Chen, he has been in this main hall to look through the files of officials above the fifth rank in Anham County. He came from the capital, and if he wanted to take out a snake that had been entrenched here for many years, it would not be an easy task, and he must first figure out how much power he had in his hands that he could use.

"Lord Wang, Yuanchen Gongzi is here!" Lu Jianting was on duty outside the courtyard, and when he saw Mei Yuanchen and Zhou Xukuan walking here, he hurriedly came in to report.

When Xia Muchao heard this, he raised his head and smiled, put the stall in his hand aside, and soon saw Mei and Erren walking outside the hall.

"Father-in-law (Prince)!" the two of them came over and bowed to Xia Muchao in the case hall.

Xia Muchao walked out of his seat, took the brocade stool and sat down, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, where are these so many rules? I learned about the war in Suzhou from the war report, and I really want to hear you talk about it!"

Zhou Xukuan didn't take the brocade stool as he said, and said to Xia Muchao with his hand: "Lord Wang, why don't I go to the side hall with the Sword Court first?" I still have a lot to discuss with him!"

"Go!" Xia Muchao did not allow it. The two of them had already walked away, and when they saw that Mei Yuanchen was still standing, they looked displeased, and reprimanded lightly: "Why are you still standing?" The most important thing is that Sha Tuo raised half of the country's troops to attack, eight times more than the defenders of Suzhou, but in the end was forced to return in vain, which is an unprecedented victory in Dahua since the past two dynasties.

Mei Yuanchen roughly told Xia Muchao about everything here, but deliberately pushed all the things he did to Yi Qilin, Yi Buyi, Xu Dingan and others. After he finished speaking, Xia Muchao looked at him and sighed softly: "Alas, Yuanchen, your father and son are both kind and upright, and they are really a rare stream of fresh water in the world. Obviously, someone else has reported many credits to Mei Yuanchen for him.

"You should be the first to make a contribution in this battle, if you want to enter the ranks, this is an excellent time, and it is not difficult to ask you to be a third-grade general. Xia Muchao looked at him closely and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

The Dahua official system has a small exam a year and a major exam every four years. Ordinary martial arts into the ranks, the top three at most is a sixth-grade Zhan Shi, according to each big exam is excellent performance and promotion of half a level, to achieve the third grade of the general will take twenty-four years at the earliest! And Mei Yuanchen can easily cross the school examination of more than 20 years by virtue of his merits in this battle, which is indeed an extremely rare opportunity.

"Father-in-law, the child is still young, and education should be the first priority. Moreover, in this battle, General Xu and General Zhuge , Yi seniors, and Yi Buyi are all people with great merit, not to mention those generals who have died in battle. I can't let them steal the credit!" Mei Yuanchen did not forget his father's teachings, and replied with a positive color.

When Xia Muchao heard this, his face became more and more relieved, and he said with a smile: "You can think about it, my father-in-law is sincerely happy." Yuanchen, your future achievements should not be under the source of thought!Haha!" The reason why he laughed was that he was happy for him and happy for his beloved daughter, "Everything has been suspended here, so you should go back to the capital first!"

"Back to the capital?" Mei Yuanchen was a little stunned, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Now that I am back in the capital, my father is still recuperating from a serious injury, and I really don't want to go back at this time!"

Xia Muchao also knew that his words were indeed a bit abrupt, so he continued: "Siyuan is seriously injured, I already know that yesterday I sent the accompanying imperial doctor to Suzhou first, you don't have to worry." Last month, the emperor issued an official order to all the gate factions in the rivers and lakes, ordering them to send people to the capital before the sixth day of the sixth month of June. Many sects sent people to set off after receiving the officials, and at this time the capital had gathered a lot of people from the rivers and lakes. I came out this time, with a heavy responsibility, and brought most of the elite of the palace with me, and the palace was empty at this time. In such a sensitive period, the capital is mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will go wrong. I know that your martial arts are high, but I'm afraid that if you are not under the Han Dynasty, there are few opponents on the rivers and lakes, so I just went back to assist Cheng Xuan in taking care of everything in the house!"

Among the top ten personal guards of the palace, Han Qi, Ying Sheng, Qi Qi, Hua Fang and Tao Tao all came out with Xia Mu Dynasty this time, and the two major guards Baifu Lu Jianting and Zhou Xukuan also came together, and only Yu Qingji, Qi Zhi, Hun Dun, Zhu Qian, Chongming and Du Chong and Chu Zhong remained in the capital. It's okay in normal times, but recently there are more and more masters entering the capital, Xia Muchao is really worried that some bad people will take the opportunity to do bad things, so he wants Mei Yuanchen to go back to assist Xia Chengxuan.
