At that moment, Xu Jing wanted to pull out his sword and kill Murong Shen with one blow.
Murong Shen was equally murderous.
But the young man in front of him had firmly occupied Zhao Xiyan's heart. Xu Jing had been alive for a month, and Zhao Xiyan had him in her eyes and heart.
kill him!
The two of them touched the handle of the knife at their waists almost at the same time.
Prince Diandong, who had never practiced martial arts before, also noticed the good strength and turned to look at Xu Jing. Only then did Xu Jing move his legs away.
General Murong's expression suddenly changed as he stood behind the prince, and he stared at Murong Shen fiercely.
Murong Shen's eyes darkened, he retracted his legs, crossed his legs to salute General Murong: "I have met General Murong!"
General Murong gave his eldest son a warning look and said calmly: "The Crown Prince Dingguo and Marquis Zhongyong are both here, Colonel Murong must not be rude."
It is only natural for me to reprimand my son.
Murong Shen had no choice but to bear it, whispered to Dong, and went to pay homage to the Duke of Ding and the Marquis Zhongyong.
Prince Dingguo planned the battle from afar and acted decisively, but he was quite gentle in the ordinary month. He smiled and said: "Captain Murong, please come up quickly."
Marquis Zhongyong's reaction was much more direct. He rolled his red eyes and snorted coldly: "I don't dare to do the same thing as Captain Murong."
Bah! That blind bastard dared to dislike his precious daughter and break the engagement. As a result, Gao Pingping became a joke among the ladies in the capital, and he was not even engaged until tomorrow.
Just thinking of those things, Marquis Zhongyong's heart boiled with anger, and he thought Murong Shen could not have a good face.
Murong Shen endured his sulking again.
After the army rested for an hour, they set off again for the second time
Murong Shen led five hundred guards to guard the carriage east of the Prince's Palace. General Murong looked at Murong Shen's back and frowned.
During those confinement years, Murong Shen's "good deeds" were gradually spread to his ears. Murong Yao was really angry at the eldest son's wanton behavior.
Just like Zhao Xiyan, Murong Shen secretly used many secret guards and clashed with the soldiers of the Beihai Palace several times. There was no airtight wall in this world, and whatever was done would always leave traces. Once the emperor was offended
If you are suspicious, something is very wrong.
Is it taboo to keep private soldiers? Every general has a private soldier, and he will never admit it to his face.
The Murong family is different from the Feng family and the Gao family. The Feng family is the founder of the country, and the Gao family relies on its solid military achievements. The Murong family is in charge of the imperial guards, and it relies on the emperor's trust. Once the emperor's trust is lost, the foundation of a foothold will be lost.
Emperor Yongming suddenly sent Murong Shen to greet the prince, maybe because he heard the rumors and became suspicious. He deliberately sent Murong Shen away from the capital to warn his father and son...
The more Murong Yao thought about it, the more frightened he became. He called a soldier over and whispered: "I will go to Murong Shen and tell him to come to see him immediately when the army stops to rest."
…
Two hours later.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sunset was gorgeous on the horizon. The army stopped east to camp and settle down. After walking east of the Prince's Palace in a carriage for a month, he was quite tired and was helped into a room in the post house to rest.
"Where has cousin Jing gone?" the prince asked the attendant casually.
Eunuch Lu went to answer in a low voice: "I don't know, I don't know. I will send someone to find the prince."
The prince didn't know what he thought of, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "No need to look for it." After a pause, he ordered again: "Send someone to call General Murong."
Eunuch Lu responded and retreated.
After a while, General Murong entered the room.
General Murong saluted respectfully: "The east of the palace has called the general to come over. What are your instructions?"
The prince smiled warmly and said, "I have nothing to do. I just want to chat with General Murong. General Murong, let's go!"
General Murong refused again and again before he dared to go east.
There was no way to go to the east of the Prince's Palace, so General Murong walked half a chair away, leaning his body slightly to show respect.
Prince Diandong smiled and asked: "When Mingyue met Captain Murong, I suddenly remembered that Captain Murong has never been married, right?"
General Murong's heart tightened, and he showed a wry smile: "If you go back to the east of the palace, that evil son of the last general is devoted to being an errand in the palace and has been refusing to get married. There is nothing the last general can do against him."
The prince looked at General Murong, his voice still gentle: "Of course I don't believe what General Murong said. But, there are always those people in the world who make trouble out of nothing, and privately criticize Colonel Murong. Even I have heard some of it.
There are endless untrue rumors that Captain Murong is not born with love and admires a girl who is already engaged."
"Those kinds of rumors are really ridiculous. The Murong family has strict rules. Captain Murong rejected General Murong's eldest son, who asked to be in charge of the Imperial Guard a month later. He must not reject such a frivolous and frivolous person who covets other people's fiancées."
General Murong: "..."
General Murong couldn't walk any longer. He stood up in embarrassment, crossed his legs and said, "Don't worry, Lord, after I return, I will definitely teach that scoundrel a lesson and never let him do anything that disgrace my family."
Prince Diandong smiled gently: "I'll have a few chats with General Murong. General Murong doesn't need to be so nervous. Let's go east!"
General Murong thanked the prince for his kindness and walked east again.
Prince Diandong smiled again and said: "After returning to the capital, General Murong will choose a marriage for Colonel Murong. At Colonel Murong's age, it is suitable to marry a wife and have children. If you have a family, you can do it for Colonel Murong."
It will be more calm. Will General Murong say no?"
General Murong did not dare to hesitate and responded immediately: "Thank you very much, Lord, for your concern. The last general also has this intention."
The prince changed the topic and talked about the march.
After burning the incense, General Murong resigned and left.
After entering his room, the smile on General Murong's face disappeared instantly.
There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. The beatings in the east of the prince's palace were a warning to Murong Shen, or a sign of the Murong family's dissatisfaction.
Zhao Xiyan is Xu Jing's fiancée. The Prince's Prince regards Xu Jing as his legion, so Zhao Xiyan is the future sister-in-law of the Prince's Prince. How can he be coveted?
"Where is Murong Shen?" General Murong was coldly afraid of the soldiers.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and then replied in a low voice: "I just went to look for the young master, but he has disappeared."
What?
General Murong frowned, suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "Send someone to look for him immediately!"
…
There is a large forest outside the post house.
When the night wind blows, the branches and leaves sway and rustle.
The forest stretches endlessly, and looking eastward, it is dark. One of the trees has been cut down by someone, leaving a small open space.
To the east of the tree, two figures stood.
One is long and handsome, while the other is tall and has long legs.
The two had a tacit understanding, and each brought a few soldiers, who spread out to look out. When the two met, they moved without saying a word.
