Xiao Chengyi chose a secluded spot to sit down, and heard the conversation next door discussing the current world situation, and also mentioned Mu Rufeng, who was unconscious due to poisoning.
It was just that they had a disagreement and quarreled, and finally broke up.
Wang Zefang thought about what they had just discussed and asked Xiao Chengyi, who was sitting opposite, "What do you think?"
One of the two students just now felt that it was a disadvantage that Beichen now had no generals available except General Mu, and that it was not a good thing for the Mu family to have military power. Your Majesty should train military commanders and spread the military power to avoid one dominant force.
Another person felt that he was dissatisfied with General Mu and doubted the loyal minister and good general, so they started to quarrel.
Xiao Chengyi said: "The emperor's character is the most suspicious. Even if General Mu is completely loyal, he will not end well unless he can hand over his military power, disarm and return to his fields."
But Yuan Hao wants to use Mu Rufeng and is trying every possible means to plot against him. At the moment, there is just no one who can replace Mu Rufeng. Once there is, Mu Rufeng will be dead.
Fortunately, Mu Rufeng has clearly seen Yuan Hao's true face, and he will never sit still and wait for death.
Wang Zefang nodded and said, "But I believe that with you here, nothing will happen to my uncle."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Wang Zefang and said, "That's natural, because the Mu family is my home!"
Wang Zefang smiled slightly and saw the waiter coming over with fine wine and food. He asked suspiciously: "Waiter, isn't this what we ordered?"
They had just sat down and hadn't ordered anything yet.
The waiter said: "This is what the nobleman from Room No. 1 Tianzi invited you to eat." After saying this, he put the food on the table, then said "you two can take it easy" and left.
Wang Zefang was curious. He looked in the direction of Room No. 1, Tianzi, and saw silhouettes of people reflected behind the hanging gauze curtains, but he could not see their faces clearly.
He stepped forward and asked Xiao Chengyi: "Does that noble person know you?"
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him lightly and said, "If I guess correctly, it should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Tai...zi?"
Wang Zefang looked shocked. He frowned and said, "The prince is trying to curry favor with you?"
"It's us!"
Xiao Chengyi took the chopsticks and said: "Eat."
Wang Zefang: "..."
He looked at Xiao Chengyi with shock on his face and said, "Don't we need to go thank you?"
Xiao Chengyi looked disapproving: "Why go? He sent it on his own initiative, not because we asked him to invite it!"
He poured two glasses of wine and pushed one of them in front of Wang Zefang: "Eat quickly. Let's go place bets after eating. Yan Yan is still sick and I have to go back early."
The corners of Wang Zefang's lips twitched, and he silently picked up the wine glass that Xiao Chengyi pushed over, and asked with some worry: "That's the prince, is everything okay?"
Xiao Chengyi replied angrily: "Don't you understand that those who don't know are not guilty?"
Wang Zefang was speechless. Well, what was he afraid of with Xiao Chengyi shaking him anyway? So he stopped thinking so much and exchanged cups with Xiao Chengyi, and ate the table full of delicious food.
After he was full of wine and food, Xiao Chengyi stood up and went downstairs.
In room No. 1, Tianzi.
When Mu Xingze saw Xiao Chengyi and Wang Zefang leaving like this, his anxious heart returned to his stomach. He pretended to be angry and said: "Your Highness, this person named Xiao is really unreasonable. Your Highness, you are so kind."
