On the day Xiao Muting bid farewell to the emperor, he received a briefing that the Zhennan Army led by Lin Haoxuan had entered Lin'an County.
The emperor happily held up the briefing in his hand and showed off to Xiao Muting: "This boy is really good. You have trained him well. Now he can stand alone. Look, just after entering the country, he had a confrontation with a small group of bandits.
All battles are won, which really makes me feel relieved."
Xiao Muting also raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded: "The young Marquis of Yanyang is indeed a talent. The old Marquis can rest assured that he will be handed over to my younger brother. He is also smart and can use his brain in battle. He is a rare general."
"Yes, I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that there is no need to worry too much. It is right to leave the Zhennan Army to him." The emperor smiled proudly.
There was provocation in his eyes, as well as some sarcasm.
Xiao Muting chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty's holy will, I think all the ministers in the court will understand it, and I will feel relieved when I leave."
The emperor's smile deepened, and he nodded to him and said: "Mu Ting, I really don't want you to leave the capital like this. People in the world say that I am heartless, but how do they know? I look at you brothers.
How heartbreaking it is to be separated from each other. We could have worked together as brothers to govern the Holy Qin Empire, but... I have no choice."
"Your Majesty, I do have difficulties. Your Majesty also knows that since I started fighting at the age of eighteen, I have been stationed at the border for many years and have gone through countless battles. Although I have many victories, it is only due to this injury.
This was the most serious time for my brother, and the emperor also knew about it. When he was carried back to the capital, he could only save a breath. Now that the Shengqin Empire is stable, I really want to take a rest. It is the emperor who is considerate of my brother, so he
I will comply with my brother's request, and I am grateful in my heart." Xiao Muting said calmly.
The emperor deliberately showed a heavy face and a very sad look, but because he really wanted Xiao Muting to see it, he acted too hard, which seemed particularly fake.
"Mu Ting, you are the Jiu Zhu Prince who was personally named by my father. You were originally the most dazzling one among our brothers, and you were also my father's favorite heir to the throne..." The emperor said in a heavy tone.
Xiao Muting immediately interrupted him: "Your Majesty, must you have mistaken your intention? My father did indeed confer the title of Prince of Nine Pearls on my younger brother. It was only because my younger brother was naughty, undisciplined, and wild and untamable that he allowed me to do so."
I went to the army to gain experience, and I also wanted to hone my childishness. However, I did rely on my little spirit to achieve something in the army. No matter how dazzling I am, I am only a martial king. This Holy Qin Empire
The country cannot be inherited by a rude King Wu, and when the emperor succeeded to the throne, he also held the edict of succession from his father. Why is he mentioned as the favorite minister's younger brother now? The edict has been verified, and it will not
It’s fake.”
"Of course not. I'm just talking about you because your undisciplined character really worries my father. Well, don't we brothers understand? You just don't want to bear this heavy burden. You just want to go out and play again. That's it.
You think this place in the capital is too restrictive, don't you?" The emperor immediately answered with a smile and stiffly found a relevant reason.
Xiao Muting raised his eyebrows slightly, then pursed his lips and smiled: "The emperor still understands my brother. It is true. This capital is good, but it is really not suitable for my brother who is used to being in the field. He has to put on a good show wherever he goes.
The emperor knows that this majestic posture is also very tiring. How can I not have the pleasure of galloping across the vast wilderness in the army?"
"Look, I guessed it right. It's all thanks to you. Since I came to the throne, it's also thanks to your help in a smooth transition. Now the Shengqin Empire is at peace. I'll tie you to the capital where you are so disliked.
, I really owe you, let you go out to play, and come back to see me when you have time. If there is anything missing over there, just ask me, and it will be delivered in time." The emperor wanted to end this topic as soon as possible.
Xiao Muting smiled again and nodded: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! I have taken note of it. My family will leave Beijing tomorrow. After settling in, I will report to the Emperor that they are safe. I also wish the Emperor peace and success. Dragon Body
healthy."
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, walked to him, held his hand cordially, nodded with tears in his eyes and said: "Mu Ting, have a safe trip, come back and see your brother when you have time!"
"
"My brother obeys the order!" Xiao Muting smiled at him again.
After watching Xiao Muting walk out of the palace door, the emperor flicked his sleeves and turned around, but his expression was cold, his eyes were cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent.
He sat on the dragon chair. Eunuch Yun immediately came in, poured him a new cup of tea, handed it over, and said carefully: "His Royal Highness Chen will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning."
After the emperor took a sip of tea, he said coldly: "It's my heartache that I didn't see him die. Letting him go this time is just a temporary measure. It's best not to let the tiger go back to the mountain."
Eunuch Yun whispered: "It's definitely not possible. Things may not be better over there. Moreover, the capital is thousands of miles away from Cangque County. No one can tell what we will encounter on the road. In the past, there were those three armies
We protect each other, but now...the emperor can rest assured."
The emperor shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Xiao Muting is not a person to worry about. My father had indulged him too much, and his ambitions have always been big. I will not leave any behind. I'm afraid.
After he recuperated his energy outside, he made a comeback."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The previous arrangements have been made. Whether he can reach Cangque County safely depends on whether he has the ability." Eunuch Yun smiled sinisterly again.
The emperor nodded slightly: "Notify the Dark Bird Division that it is time to take action. Kill them with all your strength, leaving no one behind!"
"My slave obeys the order." Eunuch Yun saluted and exited the palace gate.
As soon as Xiao Muting returned to his mansion, he received the news.
Qi Wei looked at him: "Your Highness, would you like me to make arrangements first? The Dark Bird Division is not a very powerful place, and the people in it are not that high."
Xiao Muting glanced at him and smiled relaxedly: "I didn't take it seriously. Let them stretch their muscles first. Haven't you made all the arrangements? Why are you still worried?"
"My subordinates are afraid that they will use damaging moves." Qi Wei said with a smile.
"He won't rest assured if they don't let them show off their strength. If they send some cats and dogs, they may not be very capable, but they will still be annoying. I originally wanted to go slower along the way, and bring them with me."
The princess is wandering around for a while. If these people disturb her, it won't be worthwhile no matter what." Xiao Muting nodded lightly.
"I understand, I will make arrangements now." Qi Wei turned around and left.
Xiao Muting then walked towards Hailan Pavilion with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he bumped into Su Han who rushed out from inside.
He hugged her and asked lovingly: "You know I'm back and you came out to greet me?"
Su Han stretched his head to look behind him and asked angrily: "Where is the person!"
Xiao Muting was stunned and asked: "Who is it?"
"That girl surnamed Cao, didn't she come to the door? Didn't she come to ask for a beating because she has never been beaten before? See if I don't teach her a lesson..." Su Han shook off Xiao Muting and said
He rushed out of the hospital, rolling up his sleeves as he walked.
Xiao Muting stepped forward, pulled her back, and held her in his arms: "I just came back and I didn't see anyone. Who told you."
"You've already posted a message, asking me to go to a corner tower to meet her, and you said I'll be responsible for the consequences if I don't go. What's my responsibility? I have to beat her until she can't find her!" Su Han pointed behind him.
Xiao Muting saw Yun Shi holding up the post in her hand, and his eyes narrowed darkly.
