Chapter 272 Divide
"Trash, why so many people can't catch Pei Mo and Murong Qing, why does the prince raise you for food!"

The second prince roared, even though he was wearing a python robe, he still looked like a wild dog barking on the side of the road.

The dark guard knelt on the ground and did not dare to refute, so he could only endure his anger in silence.

"Get out!"

The second prince scolded for a long time, and no one poured even a cup of tea, making him even angrier.

This group of hidden guards was like a piece of wood, they couldn't even make a sound, and the second prince didn't feel satisfied after scolding them.

But when he thought of the news that Pei Mo was still alive, he became even more anxious, so he had to find his staff to discuss countermeasures.

A group of people discussed for an afternoon, and finally decided unanimously to let the second prince speed up the speed of dividing up the power of the southern palace. At that time, even if Pei Mo returned to the capital alive, he would not be a threat.

The second prince was pacing back and forth in the study room. It was said that the emperor had already begun to draw up a decree to send the king of the southern border back to his hometown. No, he had to get the troops under the king of the southern border before his father made the decree.

Soon, an idea came to his mind.

Of course, the General's Mansion also has a more precious wealth, that is the servants and guards of the General's Mansion. Many servants here are retired from the battlefield. Although these servants are old, their memories are not old.

The second prince has always wanted to build a well-equipped army of his own. Where do people and money come from?
So he set his sights on the general's mansion.

Murong Jing's hands are behind his back, and the blue robe wraps his muscular body. Although he grew up in the south, Murong Jing's physique is as strong as a northerner.

The second prince interrupted Liu Shen, and said with regret on his face.

Murong Jing took the paper, and the content on it was to the effect that Pei Mo borrowed a priceless and precious herb from the second prince, and he would use the General's Mansion to pay for it.

In fact, it was the King of Nanjing who specifically confessed that after meeting King Yi in secret, the King of Nanjing thought a lot and asked Murong Jing to stay in the General's Mansion ahead of time, so as to temporarily slow down the minds of those who want to carve up the General's Mansion.

The second prince got straight to the point, "No need, this prince didn't come to drink tea at the general's mansion. General Pei owes me a lot of things, and now it's time to get back what belongs to me."

Seeing Murong Jing come out, Liu Shen unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, since Pei Mo's death, he has truly experienced what it means to be cold when someone walks away.

Just after noon, the Second Prince arrived at the General's Mansion without warning.

Murong Jing handed the paper to Liu Shen, and Liu Shen looked puzzled and perplexed after reading it, "This is indeed the general's handwriting, but..."

Seeing Liu Shen's appearance, Murong Jing was even more convinced that these were all nonsense, and this IOU was probably just a fabricated excuse to carve up the General's Mansion.

Murong Jing was slightly surprised, "Oh? Really, dare to ask His Highness the Second Prince, what does General Pei owe His Highness that makes His Highness so anxious."

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind the bead curtain in the main hall, "So it's the Second Prince. I hope you don't mind if I miss you."

The second prince was inexplicably impatient, but he still suppressed his temper and pretended to be humble, "Why is the second young master Murong also in the general's mansion?"

As soon as the words were finished, that figure appeared, it turned out to be the second young master of the Nanjing Palace, and also Murong Qing's second elder brother Murong Jing.

The Mansion of the Great General of the State of Zhen was given to Pei Moqian as the former residence of a great Confucianist in the previous dynasty. It has preserved a large number of precious books, including books on agriculture, engineering, history, military, astronomy and geography, etc. It can be described as a huge wealth.

"Second Master Murong doesn't know that this Guyuan grass grows on the edge of a steep cliff, and it takes a hundred years to take root and sprout. It’s used, the prince spent a lot of effort to get such a one.”

When it was displayed in the market, I don't know how crazy the literati and scholars in the world must be. Just thinking about it, the second prince seemed to see a lot of gold rushing towards him.

The second prince had already thought about the reason, "The herb is called Guyuancao, but it has the miraculous effect of flesh and bones. At that time, the prince was curious about what General Pei wanted this herb for. General Pei said that it turned out to be a life-and-death friend." My comrade in arms was injured and needed this herbal medicine to cure his illness, this prince was moved by General Pei's persistence, so he agreed to this request."

"That's right, when General Pei wrote the IOU, he talked well with this prince, but who would have thought that General Pei left so unexpectedly."

After the second prince finished speaking, Liu Shen also came up with tea, and looked at the paper with a puzzled expression.

Murong Jing asked, "May I ask Second Highness, what kind of herbal medicine did General Pei borrow from His Highness that is so precious that it can be mortgaged with a house?"

They are proficient in the art of war and strategy, far more experienced than the soldiers under the Second Prince's sect.

The second prince had been prepared for a long time, took out the purse from his waist, took out a piece of yellowed paper and placed it in front of Murong Jing.

Liu Shen invited him into the General's Mansion, "Second Prince, please take your seat."

"Butler Liu, go down and make a cup of good tea for His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Murong Jing said, "This minister came to bring back my sister's belongings. There are a lot of things and I haven't finished packing them. Why is Your Highness the Second Prince interested in coming to the General's Mansion? gone?"

The second prince pulled a smile on his face, "My prince came to take back the things that General Pei owed me. In fact, according to the agreed date, I should have gone to the general's mansion to take back the things. I gave you a few days of grace, and now it has been two months, it is time to pay back the debt owed to the prince."

The second prince looked arrogant, "General Pei felt deeply guilty, so he wrote an IOU to this prince. Why, doesn't Steward Liu know about this?"

Liu Shen shook his head, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He clearly knew that this was a fabricated lie, but he had no way to reject these raging wolves, tigers and leopards loudly as usual.

It would be great if the general was still there, Liu Shen thought to himself.

He stood in front of the second prince, lowered his head slightly and was half a head taller than the second prince.

Liu Shen's face was full of sadness, and there was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes.

The agreed time was more than two months ago, and there was Pei Mo's signature at the bottom.

"Here, here is the IOU, Second Young Master Murong must see clearly."

But he knew that this was simply an extravagant hope, so he could only pin his hopes on Murong Jing in front of him, hoping that he could stop the second prince's black hand.

Murong Jing took his time, looked at every word on the paper carefully, waved his hand and said, "Butler Liu, please go to the study to get some letters from the general. This house is precious, so I should be more cautious. His Highness the Second Prince will not Don't mind."

The second prince was upset, but he could only smile apologetically, "Of course I don't mind, Second Young Master Murong, please go ahead."

But he thought in his heart, wait until he finds the trace of Wang Xianxing in the southern region, then see how he can laugh.
