Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 880 Southbound
Seeing the person coming, Liu Yunxiang smiled and rushed over.

Yan Mu hurriedly caught her, bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, and then went into the back room.

"I'll disperse the cold first." Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang hugged him tightly, "I've been waiting for you until I couldn't keep my eyes open."

Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang in his arms and roasted by the stove for a while, then picked him up, put him on the bed, and got up to take off his clothes.

"Go to bed early, you have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Liu Yunxiang turned over, resting his head on his hands, watching Yan Mu take off his clothes, "Who pretended to be you staying there?"

"Jiang Yuan."

"I'm afraid I can't hide it for long?"

"Most of this business is ours, so we should be able to hide it."

At this moment, Yan Mu changed into his middle coat, and Liu Yunxiang moved inside, letting him lie down.

Yan Mu lay down outside, and then took Liu Yunxiang into his arms, seeing that she was all eyes on him, his heart moved, and he pushed himself over.

For a long time, Liu Yunxiang was panting in Yan Mu's arms, her cheeks were red, "Lu Changan and Qin Fei went south in two directions, the three of you have the same purpose in this trip, they probably won't harm you, so who else?"

The reason why he concluded that someone would harm Yan Mu was actually that the morning before departure, the groom noticed that one of the two horses leading the carriage always raised its front hooves and looked restless.

He checked carefully and found that the horseshoe of the horse's front hoof had been nailed into an iron cone.If he didn't find out, it would definitely be a heart-pounding pain to run, the horse would definitely go crazy, the carriage would be out of control, and Yan Mu might be in danger.

After finding out about this, the groom hurriedly went to the horse yard to look for the person who fed the horse last night. After some questioning, the person had already escaped this morning.

The groom didn't dare to ignore it, and reported the matter to Yan Mu.

"Our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the people behind the scenes are able to insert their own people in. It's really not a small skill."

"Fortunately, he exhausted all his skills, but he was only sent to the outer courtyard to raise horses."

"Ah."

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "If that person understands me, he should know that even if the horse is crazy, I will be injured at most. And if I am injured, the court can only send other people to the peace talks this time. The ministers are not enough, so I just It could be the fourth child."

Following this line of thought, Liu Yunxiang analyzed: "Qin Shengrui is greedy for life and afraid of death. He doesn't want to fight like the emperor. In order to achieve peace talks, he will agree to whatever request Nanjin puts forward."

"Even if it is ceded to the south of the Yangtze River, half of the country and mountains of Great Rong will be lost."

"Ah."

"So who is behind the scenes?"

Because it was really unexpected, Yan Mu had no other choice but to get a golden cicada to escape.For this peace talk, he must go, and Dayong must be preserved.

In the palace, Shangguan Xu left Chengtian Palace and walked outside the palace.After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back.

In the middle of the night, the emperor called him into the palace. He thought it was something urgent, but he said it was just a nightmare.After saying a few words and giving him a cup of tea, he sent him back home.

Shangguan Xu thought for a while, then turned around and continued to walk outside the palace.

When he reached a secluded place, Shangguan Xu sensed the danger, and stepped back hurriedly. Sure enough, a man stabbed at him with a sword, but fortunately he snatched it just now.The man was hiding in the dark, he felt tall and he didn't allow him to think about it, so he killed him again.

With hundreds of moves in a row, Shangguan Xu's kung fu was better than this person, so he was more than capable, but he forced the opponent back again and again.

Shangguan Xu led the man to a place with lanterns, and when he saw the face of the man, he stopped immediately, "It's you! You shouldn't be in Nanzhou? Why are you in the palace?"

The man just looked at him and didn't speak.

"You..." Shangguan Xu spoke again, only to feel a burst of blood rising up, he couldn't restrain himself, vomited a mouthful of blood, and at the same time his stomach pain was unbearable, he remembered the cup of tea given by the emperor, "Give me... Poison!"

"What the emperor wants is a loyal minister, loyal to him, not a prince."

"The emperor wants me to die..."

"The emperor will definitely abolish the prince. Then you will be the sword in the prince's hand, and the blade will point directly at the emperor. When the prince leaves the capital, he will naturally harvest the prince's power, and you will bear the brunt."

"But why is it you!" Shangguan Xu growled, "The crown prince went to the Southern Jin Dynasty for peace talks, and he wanted to protect the great glory, don't you know?"

"Da Rong is so weak that he can no longer fight."

"You are a general!"

"Because I am a military general, I saw how many brothers died under the sword of the enemy, meaningless sacrifices. I am afraid of war, and many generals are also afraid. Don't you see that the ones who bite the ground and refuse to give up are all Wenchen?"

"One step at a time, one step at a time, Da Rong will perish sooner or later!"

"I've been alive for decades, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in war. Is it not good to be able to think about a few days of peace and happiness?"

"you've changed."

"My family is ruined and I'm dead. This is called looking away."

Shangguan Xu vomited some blood again, and fell to the ground unbearably, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, knowing that he had come to an end.

"Old... old seven..."

"Don't worry, the prince has no chance of returning to Beijing alive during this trip. Before long, you father and son will see you below, you just go ahead."

Shangguan Xu wanted to struggle to survive, but finally swallowed his last breath unwillingly.

When the person died, the main hall door of Chengtianmen was also opened.

The emperor's face was stern, he glanced at Shangguan Xu, and then looked at the person who came, "I don't have a confidant by my side, and your title will be restored in the court tomorrow, after that, you must recognize who you are."

"The minister is His Majesty's man!"

"it is good!"

Yan Mu disguised himself as a servant, hid in Liu Yunxiang's carriage, and the group continued south.Spring begins, and the weather gets warmer the further you go south. From the Yangliu River embankment to the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, continue south, cross the Yangtze River, walk through the rain, climb over the mountains, go through hardships, and finally come to the border of Lingnan.

It rained again in the afternoon, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

Liu Yunxiang asked the coachman to look for inns along the road, but the strange thing was that all the inns along the road were closed, with closed signs hanging outside.

"Girl, there is a town not far ahead, let's turn a corner and go to the town to stay overnight?" Feng Zheng asked after exploring the way.

"Alright." Liu Yunxiang said.

This section is all mountain roads, and I insist on going forward in the rain, for fear of danger.

Seeing Yan Mu reading with a book, Liu Yunxiang squeezed into his arms and read with him.

"Let's go directly to Ling'an?"

"Go to the Biannan military camp first."

The Biannan military camp is quite close to Ling'an City, and Su Rumeng's father, General Su, is stationed there.It's just that this time it was General Su who secretly escorted the envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty to Beijing to meet the emperor, Yan Mu went around to the barracks first, just to find out what General Su was thinking.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Liu Yunxiang fell forward, but Yan Mu grabbed hold of the carriage's cross-post, and at the same time hugged her back into his arms.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Back to the master, there is a... dead man lying in front... in front of you!"
