Mu Zheng glanced over and said, "I still want to reason with you?"
Mu Rufeng was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Yuan Chen to seek shelter.
Yuan Chen said: "You really can't blame Rufeng for what happened to Zhao Jie. General Mu is not in the capital and is not very clear about many things. However, Rufeng was not wrong about this matter."
Although Mu Zheng was not in the capital, he still knew the cause and effect of the matter. He said: "I haven't thanked His Highness the Crown Prince yet. If you hadn't been involved in it and helped my son clear his name, he would have been unable to escape."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and bowed.
Yuan Chen helped him up and said: "General Mu, you don't have to be polite. Ru Feng and Jin Ming and I are brothers who grew up together. We are kings and ministers in court, but we don't have so many etiquette in private."
Mu Zheng said with some relief: "His Royal Highness the Prince really did not disappoint me. You saw through Yuan Hao's conspiracy, got rid of the Han family and the Yan family, and reorganized the court. Beichen is a blessing to the people to have you."
Yuan Chen said: "This is not due to me alone. Your son and Jin Ming are both outstanding and they are my right-hand men."
Mu Zheng was overjoyed and said: "I was just reminiscing with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I haven't had time to get to know those three girls. I wonder which one is my daughter-in-law?"
Mu Rufeng stuck her head out and said, "Isn't the one in green clothes beautiful?"
Mu Zheng glanced at him and said, "I thought you were just a piece of wood, but I didn't expect that there is actually a girl who likes you. Tell me, how did you coax that little girl into your hand?"
The corners of Mu Rufeng's lips twitched and he said: "Dad, how can you call this coaxing? My son has found a wife based on his true ability."
Mu Zheng said: "Then I have to thank you and me for giving you a good appearance, otherwise who would like you?"
Mu Rufeng choked and was speechless. Yuan Chen and Ye Jinming couldn't help laughing.
Mu Zheng said: "Okay, the food has been prepared in the house. Your Highness, please come to the table."
Yuan Chen nodded, and then went to the front hall to take a seat. Not long after, Xiao Jialan and others were invited over, and the three of them met.
Mu Zheng looked at these three girls, each one was more beautiful than the last.
He looked at Xiao Jialan and said, "Are you the princess of Nanyue?"
Mu Rufeng reminded: "Jialan is a princess now. Emperor Nanyue is the only biological sister like her. She is very precious."
Mu Zheng said: "You are so precious, how can you let your sister live in Beichen? If my son was so incompetent, I would have broken his legs earlier."
Mu Rufeng touched his legs. When he was imprisoned that day, something almost happened to his sister. He was able to save his legs. He must thank Yuan Chen.
Xiao Jialan smiled and said: "I didn't want to cause trouble to my brother, so I left Nanyue to avoid the limelight. If I fall into the hands of the enemy, everything my brother has done will be in vain."
Mu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "In other words, you are your brother's Achilles' heel? So if we, Beichen, use you as a threat, can we make you, Nanyue, obey?"
Xiao Jialan said firmly: "General Mu will not do this. You are a famous general and you will not use such despicable means to win victory.
Furthermore, Yuan Chen will not allow anyone to hurt me."
Mu Zheng asked: "Are you so sure?"
Xiao Jialan nodded: "If I didn't even have this little trust, I would have run away long ago and wouldn't be sitting here talking to General Mu."
Mu Zheng laughed loudly and said: "As expected of the princess of Nanyue, she has courage, courage and character, and she is a perfect match for His Royal Highness.
Nanyue and Beichen have been at odds with each other for a long time. If your love for each other can prevent the war, save the people from the suffering of the war, and bring peace between the two countries, it will be a good thing with immeasurable merit."
