Yuan Chen's team arrived at noon. As soon as they entered the city, they saw soldiers in armor waiting at the city gate in an orderly manner.
The leader was a middle-aged man. When Mu Rufeng saw this man, he quickly got off his horse and walked over quickly and called out: "Dad."
Mu Zheng glanced at his son, nodded, then bowed his hands to Yuan Chen who came over and said, "His Royal Highness, you have worked hard all the way."
Yuan Chen said: "General Mu, there is no need to be polite."
Mu Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "His Royal Highness, please go to your residence and take a rest first."
Because he had been guarding the southern border all year round, Mu Zheng bought a courtyard in Yuzhou City for convenience.
After inviting people to the house, Mu Zheng arranged for the housekeeper to take a few girls to rest first.
And he took Yuan Chen, Ye Jinming and Mu Rufeng to the flower hall.
When there were no more people waiting, Mu Zhengcai said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's departure from the capital is a big event. Why hasn't the general received any news before?"
After saying that, he looked at Mu Rufeng and Ye Jinming and said, "And you, let His Highness the Crown Prince act like this without giving any advice. Is this what you do as a minister?"
Mu Rufeng touched his nose. He had expected that his father would scold him. Fortunately, he still had Ye Jinming as his company, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
Ye Jinming said: "General Mu, please calm down. His Highness the Crown Prince did this to show his sincerity."
Mu Zheng snorted and said: "Nothing is more important than the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince. Nanyue has had a long-standing grudge against us, Beichen. What if they have the intention to embarrass us?
It is too careless for His Highness the Crown Prince to bring only so many people. In the end, a team of people will be dispatched to escort him to ensure the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Mu. I am going to propose marriage, not to fight."
"But."
Mu Zheng was still a little worried. After all, the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince was related to Beichen's country, especially the incident that had just occurred in Beichen's court.
Yuan Chen said: "Don't do anything you're not sure about."
After hearing this, Mu Zheng no longer tried to persuade but asked, "Has the capital already made arrangements for Your Highness to leave the capital like this?"
Yuan Chen nodded and said: "The arrangements have been made. I will leave the court to Shen Huaiting to take care of it."
Mu Zheng said: "Is that the new champion? What use can he be? He is just a weak young man. If you don't suppress him in the court, will the courtiers listen to him?"
"Oh, Dad."
Mu Rufeng couldn't listen anymore and said: "Do you really not believe in His Highness the Crown Prince's ability?
When we came, we handed over all the Mu family's cavalry to Shen Huaiting, who dares not to listen to him? Just relax."
Mu Zheng snorted, glared at Mu Rufeng and said, "I haven't talked about you yet. I heard that you killed Taifu Zhao's grandson for a woman and almost lost his life?"
Mu Rufeng said: "What do you mean for a woman? She is your daughter-in-law. Besides, I am doing harm to the people."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Rufeng heard an ouch, but it was Mu Zheng who slapped him on the forehead and said, "Don't think that I don't dare to hit you because His Highness the Crown Prince is supporting you."
Mu Rufeng rubbed his head and said, "Are you being reasonable?"
