slave like jade

Chapter 171
On the day Kuang Qinqin kidnapped Yu Ruyan and went to Wangyue Pavilion, Mu Lingzhi recognized Yue Yu's medicine bottle. Later, when he saw with his own eyes the feather plaque carved by Empress Zhu that he gave Yu Ruyan, he completely recognized it. The world-famous merchant Yue Yu is his cousin, the former prince Mu Yizhi!
Shocked, Mu Lingzhi immediately summoned the hidden guards to quietly search for Yue Yu's whereabouts.

But after a long time, there was no news of him. Even the secret guards searched all the business shops of the Yue family, but they couldn't find out where the Yue family's mansion was.

Mu Lingzhi asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to accompany Yu Ruyan to go back to the room first, and led the hidden guards to the study on the east side. As soon as the door of the study was closed, he couldn't wait to ask: "Have you found news about Yue Dangjia in the disaster area in the south?" ?”

The dark guard knelt down respectfully on one knee, nodded affirmatively and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, following His Highness's instructions, I did see Master Yue in the disaster-stricken area in the south. He also worked with the medical officers sent by the imperial court to treat the epidemic patients, and his medical skills are very good..."

Hearing that Yue Yu was found, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help being excited, but when he heard that he went to the disaster area to rescue people and dealt with the affected people every day, he couldn't help frowning worriedly and said: "Although the disaster in the south is over now, the epidemic is also under control. He is under control, but he is weak and has to deal with patients with the disease every day, if he gets the disease... How is he doing now?"

Hearing this, the dark guard's expression flickered with anxiety, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we have been quietly following Yue Dangjia's side, and we never let him find out, but we accidentally discovered another thing, and this matter is It's related to the head of Yue, the imperial envoys sent by the emperor to the disaster area, and even... even His Royal Highness and Mu Xiang."

Hearing the words of the dark guard, Mu Lingzhi's eyes sank, he understood a little bit in his heart, and said solemnly: "But the black hand of the first prince and the wood minister stretched into the money for disaster relief?"

The secret guard secretly admired his foresight, and said with even more respect on his face: "Your Highness guessed right, Prime Minister Mu and the First Prince embezzled 20 taels of disaster relief silver taels privately, and was discovered by the imperial envoy, but the imperial envoy did not dare to do so." The Minister, the First Prince, and the Prime Minister Mu couldn't fill the vacancy with the court, so they followed the advice of the Prime Minister Mu and the First Prince, and asked the Yue family to donate 20 taels of silver to the disaster area in order to help the disaster. ..."

'boom! ’, before the dark guard finished speaking, Mu Lingzhi was already so angry that he slapped the pear blossom wood desk with a heavy palm, and shouted: "Bastard!"

The reason why Mu Lingzhi could guess that Yue Yu went to the flooded area in the south was because he had seen the name of Yue's family many times among the big donors before.

For this flood, the Yue family has donated no less than [-] silver to the imperial court, not including quilts, rice oil and other items in the Yue family shop for the people in the disaster area.

King Liang didn't know that the head of the Yue family was his nephew Prince Yi, and he had publicly praised the Yue family's generosity in court.

Seeing that the Yue family was so enthusiastic about the disaster area, Mu Lingzhi thought that Yue Yu might have gone to the disaster area in the south, so he secretly informed the secret guards who were looking for him to go to the disaster area in the south.

Unexpectedly, Yue Yu really went to the flood-stricken area, where he personally rescued the people...

Thinking of this, Mu Lingzhi's admiration for him became even greater. He knew that although Prince Yi harbored hatred for the current Daliang royal family, he still had a heart for the country and the people in his bones. Forget his former prince status.

But now knowing that the First Prince and the others are blatantly corrupt and perverting the law, taking the life-saving money of the disaster victims into their own pockets, and taking the opportunity to blackmail the family, Mu Ling's eyes are so angry that his eyes are tearing apart.

With a heavy slap, Mu Lingzhi asked in a voice of hatred: "Did the Yue master follow what those treacherous ministers said?"

The dark guard's complexion darkened, and he said angrily: "The Yue family also found out that they put all the money into their own pockets, and refused to donate another copper coin to the court, so they opened a charity hall to take in the homeless. Disaster victims. However, Yue Dangjia’s actions angered the First Prince and Mu Xiang. They used the excuse that Yue Dangjia sold fake medicinal materials while treating the people, and put him in prison... and the imperial envoy was afraid that things would be ruined. There was no show, and the people who wanted to persuade Mu Xiang and the First Prince to release the head of Yue, but when they went out on the second day, they were inexplicably robbed and killed by a group of bandits..."

The words of the hidden guard made Mu Lingzhi's heart go cold. He never expected that in order to get 10 taels of silver, the wood minister and the eldest prince would be so rampant that even the imperial envoy would dare to murder...

There was a cold light in the deep eyes. Mu Lingzhi knew that the eldest prince and Mu Xiang had been amassing money everywhere in order to fight for the throne. From this point of view, it was not enough for them to kill the imperial envoy this time. They actually wanted to take this opportunity to seize the Yue family great fortune...

In fact, from the very beginning, the eldest prince Mu Yunzhi coveted the wealth of the Yue family, which was incomparably rich, and tried to win over Yue Yu in various ways before, but it was a pity that Yue Yu didn't buy into his account.

It seems that they are actually soft now, and they are starting to be tough on the Yue family...

Mu Lingzhi said with hatred: "Where is the head of the Yue family locked up now?"

The secret guard said: "I was locked in a cell in Pingcheng. This subordinate came back just to ask His Highness for instructions. Do you want to rescue Master Yue?"

For Mu Lingzhi, not to mention going to the prison in Pingcheng to save people, or going to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to save people, it is not a difficult task for his secret guards.

But he thought that Yue Yu himself had extraordinary kung fu, and there were also a group of men in black with high martial arts skills by his side. He wanted to escape by himself, or in other words, he resisted and fled when he was arrested. He couldn't help it, but he didn't resist, nor did he run away, which showed that he had been trying hard to conceal his true identity as Prince Yi, and he didn't want outsiders to know that he knew martial arts.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Yue family is just a young man who is nostalgic and weak. No one knows that he has superb martial arts.

Furthermore, his business is spread all over the world, and there are countless in Daliang. He doesn't want to confront the First Prince and Mu Xiang head-on, because he wants to preserve so many businesses of the Yue family and the guys who rely on the Yue family for their livelihood.

After thinking about this, of course Mu Lingzhi can't let the dark guard go directly to save people, but to find a way to let Mu Xiang and the eldest prince take the initiative to release Yue Yu and let him walk out of the cell in a dignified way. The business and reputation of Yuejia will be affected.

His deep eyes narrowed dangerously, and Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "Don't act rashly, your first task is to protect the life of Master Yue in the dark, and on the other hand, go quietly to investigate Mu Xiang and the eldest prince. The conspiracy and evidence, and the rest follow my orders."

The dark guard got the order, respectfully complied, and went down quickly.

After the dark guard left, Mu Ling sat alone in the study for a long time...

He thought, in the early morning tomorrow morning, it is estimated that the murder of the imperial envoy will be reported to the imperial court. The disaster situation in the south has not been fully dealt with, and the emperor will definitely send another imperial envoy to the south for disaster relief.Presumably at that time, in order to prevent the dirty things they did from being discovered, Mu Xiang and the eldest prince will definitely recommend their people to take over. In this way, the death of the former imperial envoy, their embezzlement of silver, and the detention of Yue Yu, the matter of wanting to annihilate the Yue family's property was covered up by others.

There was a cold light in the deep eyes, and Mu Lingzhi tightly held the wolf hair in his hand——

Therefore, no matter what, the new imperial envoy appointed tomorrow must be his talent.

Thinking of this, Mu Lingzhi carefully screened the available people around him in his heart, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Because, this time, the matter is of great importance, the people sent to fight against the old fox of the First Prince and Mu Xiang, and also related to the murder case of the former imperial envoy, and it also involves the safety of Yue Yu, so, after some deliberation, finally, Only he personally appoints to deal with Mu Xiang and Mu Yunzhi.

Thinking of this, his gaze sank, and he couldn't help looking across the courtyard to the opposite bedroom, with a heavy heart, but he couldn't let go of Yu Ruyan——

Although the Qin Xianglou case has now made new progress, and her suspicions have been cleared up a lot, but he just can't worry about her. Knowing her depression recently, he wants to stay with her more to comfort and protect her.

But when he thought of Yue Yu and the victims in the south, he couldn't feel relieved.

……

When he returned to the room, Yu Ruyan had already fallen asleep, he was afraid of waking her up, so he undressed lightly and went to bed, but Yu Ruyan was not asleep, and had been waiting for him to come back.

Seeing him coming back, Yu Ruyan looked at the expression on his face, and said anxiously: "What did the dark guard say, but did you hear about Brother An and the others? They..."

Yu Ruyan thought that the hidden guard just now came to report the news about An Ge and Tongqian. She knew that even though Mu Lingzhi had given up looking for them, he still secretly asked the dark guard to search for An Ge and the others, so she saw him With a dignified expression, his heart felt cold, and he said in a trembling voice: "But Brother An and the others have already..."

Knowing that she was thinking too much, Mu Lingzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the hidden guards just now are a team I sent to the south to monitor the disaster situation, and they also reported the disaster situation in the south to me when they came back."

After hearing his explanation, Yu Ruyan's heart was relieved. She looked at the seriousness between his brows and eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Look at your expression, but what happened to the disaster in the south?"

Sighing, Mu Lingzhi said: "Something happened indeed, the imperial envoy was killed, so... I guess I will go to the south for a few days, where the bandits are too rampant, and ordinary civil servants may not be able to take on this responsibility. "

While speaking, his expression was full of guilt, he took her hands and sighed: "I'm really worried about leaving you here alone, do you want me to let Huaying come here to accompany you, or let Xiaoru come out of the palace?" Accompany you for a few days..."

"Your Highness, I want to go to the south with you!"

Without even thinking about it, Yu Ruyan asked for the truth.

Thinking of the danger of this trip, Mu Lingzhi would be willing to take her to such a dangerous place, so he sternly refused: "You can't go with me, the epidemic situation in the south is serious, it's freezing cold, your body is weak, how can you Follow me to that kind of place? And the bandits are fleeing, I am here not only to take over the job before the imperial envoy, but also to suppress the bandits, I don’t have time to take care of you, so you should stay in Dongdu to be safe.”

Yu Ruyan understood the meaning of his words, if she insisted on going with her, she would only add to his burden and distract him from taking care of her when he was busy.

In this way, how can she insist on going with him again?
"In that case, don't worry, Your Highness. It's good for me to be alone in this other garden. Huaying has to take care of the palace. It's the end of the year, and the palace and other government offices in the capital have to move around. The gift-giving and returning gifts are enough for her. There are still people there. Time to accompany me? And Xiaoru can't leave the palace because of me, she is a concubine of the Eastern Palace, how can she leave the palace casually?"

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi couldn't say anything more, he sighed and hugged her into his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to deal with the disaster area in the south as soon as possible, within five days or ten at most. Day, I will definitely rush back to Dongdu to celebrate with you before the Hanrui Festival."

In order to prevent him from worrying about himself when he was busy with matters in the disaster area, Yu Ruyan said with a strong smile, "Your Highness, don't worry about me. I can just take advantage of the time when His Highness is not here. Practice the skill of making sugar figurines, so that you don't lose too badly when the time comes!"

Hearing what she said, Mu Lingzhi really felt relieved a lot, and gave her a lot of instructions before falling asleep at ease.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the news of the murder of the imperial envoy shocked King Liang and his officials.

And indeed, as Mu Lingzhi expected, before King Liang proposed to send a new imperial envoy, the First Prince Mu Yunzhi couldn't wait to recommend his people to appoint a new imperial envoy to the south for disaster relief.

When one of Mu Yun raised it, Prime Minister Wood followed suit, and Prime Minister Wood seconded it, and almost all the ministers below followed him.

Liang Wang pondered for a while, and was about to speak when Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court this time will not only take over the previous imperial envoy's duties, but also handle various affairs in the disaster-stricken areas in the south. It's a mission, that is—to suppress the bandits!"

Hearing this, Mu Xiang and Mu Yunzhi's eyelids twitched at the same time.

Mu Lingzhi's words paused, his eyes swept across the two people beside him, and he said coldly: "The Lord Liu recommended by the emperor is a real civil official, a weak scholar, if he is like the former imperial envoy, he will Wouldn't it be a pity to be killed by the gangsters?"

The word "thug" in his words was bitten very hard, and Mu Xiang and Mu Yunzhi's hearts jumped when they heard it, and Mu Lingzhi's cold eyes made them feel cold all over their bodies, as if they were saying—— The real bandit still kills in the name of a bandit, I'm afraid you two know it best in your heart.

Hearing this, Mu Xiang knew clearly in his heart, knowing that some things were not hidden from this thoughtful but extremely powerful Third Highness. It's their talent.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Mu couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion anymore, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what the Third Highness said is very true, the bandits in the south are rampant, and you must not send Master Liu alone to go this time, I forgive you for recommending yourself You can let Quan'er be a general under Master Liu, let him be responsible for leading the troops to suppress bandits, and divide the work with Master Liu. His martial arts are not bad, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with mere bandits!"

Mu Yunzhi understood what Prime Minister Mu meant, and quickly agreed: "Prime Minister Mu is justified, Mr. Mu is very skilled in martial arts, it would be best to let him and Mr. Liu go to the disaster area to suppress the bandits."

Seeing this, the corner of Mu Lingzhi's mouth curled into a mocking smile, and he looked at Mu Xiang coldly.But in my heart I admire his cunning——

Ever since Mu Ziyang was planted in Yu Ruyan's hands, and after the scandal of taking Wushisan and suffering from flower and willow disease broke out in front of the whole Dongdu in the chess competition, King Liang's impression of him plummeted, not only canceling his relationship with him. The princess's gift of marriage also removed his official positions one by one.

In a short time, Mu Ziyang fell from the most dazzling young talent in the Eastern Capital to the son of a famous family, and became a lowly and dissolute person who made the world laugh.

After this happened, Prime Minister Mu personally escorted Mu Ziyang to the king of Liang to plead guilty, and beat him to pieces with thorns in public, in order to appease the king of Liang, and locked him in the mansion for more than half a year. Thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, he actually asked a famous doctor to cure his Hualiu disease and get rid of Wushisan.

Although he was cured later, he was never reused in his official position. At this time, Mu Xiang proposed to let him go to the disaster-stricken areas in the south to suppress the bandits. This allowed Mu Ziyang to make meritorious service in suppressing the bandits and become the second Mu Lingzhi, who could gradually gain access to military power.

Mu Xiang is indeed a cunning old fox, but in an instant, he thought of such a good strategy of killing two birds with one stone.But what he didn't expect was that Mu Lingzhi had already seen all his plans, and he was bound to get this job.

Mu Ziyang, who was standing at the end of the court officials, was delighted to hear his father's recommendation. He strode forward, passed all the officials, and came to the King of Liang. Shocked!
Looking back, the scoffing sound came from Mu Lingzhi.

His heart was shaken, and he looked at Mu Lingzhi for no reason——

In fact, the relationship between Mu Ziyang and Mu Lingzhi was considered good before, but I don't know when, the relationship between the two has become farther and farther, and now, they have become extremely distant even when they meet and say hello.

In Mu Lingzhi's words, if the way is different, you don't conspire with each other, and if you don't speculate, you don't want to say a word!
Mu Lingzhi sneered, the sound was not too loud, but it attracted the eyes of all the officials in the hall.

Looking at the Mu family father and son in front of him with cold eyes, he sneered and said: "As far as I know, the medicinal properties of Wushi powder have a long incubation period in the human body, and if I remember correctly, Mr. Mu The toxicity of Xie Wu Shi San is only half a year old, and I am really worried, what will happen if Mr. Mu suddenly becomes poisoned in the process of suppressing the bandits? If the suppression of the bandits fails and he loses his life, it is too dangerous. After all, Mu Xiang only has such a son!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court!
Everyone knows that the third prince, Mu Lingzhi, has always been cold-blooded and ruthless, and never shows any mercy in his actions, but he was so rampant that he exposed the scandal of Mu Xiang's family in public, without showing any mercy.

Not only Mu Xiang's face turned dark, but even Liang Wang's expression was somewhat embarrassed.

And Mu Xiang's temper can be considered violent among the courtiers. Usually, because of things in the court, he would fight with other officials, even with the King of Liang, to get red-faced. Why, hearing that Mu Lingzhi wanted to expose him in public How could he swallow his son's scandal?
Immediately, not only the officials, but even King Liang looked at Mu Xiang and Mu Lingzhi in embarrassment, feeling that the two people who were not easy to provoke would fight each other every minute.

For a moment, the air in the hall froze, and everyone felt that there were invisible sparks colliding fiercely between the two...

Mu Xiang's hands were clenched under the loose robe, his veins were bulging, his face was livid, while Mu Ziyang's face was also blood red, staring at Mu Lingzhi with teary eyes, wishing to rush forward to fight him in public.

Facing Mu Ziyang's overwhelming hatred for him, Mu Ling's face was relaxed and contented. He remembered that when the altar collapsed last time, he used small stones to murder Yu Ruyan, and almost let her under the altar. Mu Lingzhi did the same. Hate him to the bone.

He was resentful in his heart, but on the face he disapproved and provoked Mu Ziyang, and said coldly: "I am concerned to ask again, is Mr. Mu's Hualiu disease healed?"

Being so humiliated in public, Mu Ziyang is no longer a man, he can no longer bear the anger in his heart, and was about to rush forward to fight Mu Lingzhi, but Mu Xiang quickly pulled him back, and took advantage of the situation to force him They knelt down together and knelt in front of King Liang.

Seeing his son being humiliated like this by Mu Lingzhi in public, Mu Xiang wanted to peel his son, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and bruise him to ashes...

But on the surface, Mu Xiang was sincerely grateful and said: "The old minister and Quanzi thank the Third Highness for your concern. Quanzi was careless that day and was framed by an adulterer to do something wrong. Fortunately, he found out in time and was able to rein in the precipice. In the past six months, Gouzi tried his best to reform himself, and the old minister never relaxed him for a moment, but he was freed from the evil disease he was framed."

If it were someone else, who was humiliated in public like this, and he was a veteran of the two dynasties, he would not have swallowed this breath, but Mu Xiang was not angry at all, and he explained to everyone the matter of Mu Ziyang's treatment in detail with a humble face , this belly really makes everyone look sideways!
However, Mu Lingzhi sensed the horror of his scheming!
Mu Xiang's sincere words moved everyone present a little. No one expected that the mighty and powerful Prime Minister of the two dynasties, usually with a violent temper, would be so aggrieved in front of Mu Lingzhi today. It's really amazing that several important ministers who are close to him can't help but look down on it and want to speak up for him.

Mu Xiang seemed to have grown back eyes. He raised his hand and stopped his colleagues from helping him. He solemnly bowed down to the king of Liang, saying: "As the saying goes, the prodigal son does not change his money when he turns back. I hope your majesty will see that the old ministers will work hard to serve the two generations of Daliang." For the sake of the monarch, give the dog a chance to reform and become a human again!"

After all, he smacked his forehead heavily on the ground, making a dull smacking sound!
For a moment, everyone was moved by Mu Xiang's love for children, and couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone guessed that it was because of his son's failure to live up to expectations that Mu Xiang lowered his stance to seek perfection, but Mu Lingzhi knew why he did this.

Thinking of Mu Xiang's determination, Mu Lingzhi felt chills in his heart, and his expression turned solemn——

The fact that Mu Xiangyue lowered his status and acted like a grievance means that he is bound to win the incident in the disaster area and the huge family property of the Yue family!
Thinking about this, Mu Lingzhi suddenly felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and knelt down in front of King Liang, begging for orders directly, and said, "Father, my son has been dealing with bandits and bandits all year round, and he knows how to deal with them best." Method, and the incident in the disaster area in the south, I am also familiar with it, so I asked for orders to personally lead the troops to the disaster area in the south, one is to sort out the affairs of the disaster area, and the other is to suppress the bandits!
As soon as Mu Lingzhi's words came out, Mu Xiang couldn't restrain his expression any longer, and became panicked just like Mu Yunzhi's——

I thought that he would send his people to the south for disaster relief, but I didn't expect that he would go there himself.

If Liang Wang agrees to let him go, then what they did in the south may no longer be able to cover up!

Mu Xiang's whole body felt as if he had fallen into eighteen levels of hell, with cold sweat dripping down his back layer by layer.

And Mu Yunzhi's face was pale, his eyes were terrified, and his expression was ashamed.He couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly objected to Mu Ling's going before, but Mu Lingzhi insisted on going. For a while, the Mu Xiang and the people from the First Prince's camp started to argue with the people from Mu Lingzhi's camp. Without giving in, the scene suddenly froze.

Liang Wang looked at the two parties below who were holding on to each other's opinions rather embarrassedly, and his head ached again.

King Liang suffered from arthralgia, but whenever the weather was cold or the weather changed, his joints would ache and numb all over his body, making him very uncomfortable.Recently, there has been heavy snowfall in Daliang, and the weather is getting colder and colder every day. King Liang's illness is getting more and more serious. Therefore, King Liang's intention to cultivate the prince to manage the government at this time can be regarded as lightening the burden on his shoulders.

Therefore, the recent matters in the court are all decided by the prince, and Liang Wang just makes a little mention on the sidelines.

And Xiaodao did live up to King Liang's expectations, but in just a few days, he was more and more comfortable handling the government affairs of the court with a clever mind, orderly, calm and solemn, and more and more like King Liang's shadow .

Therefore, at this difficult moment, King Liang couldn't help turning his head to look at the prince who had been silent all this time, stroked his forehead and said with a headache: "What does the prince think about this?

As soon as King Liang's words came out, everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaodao.

From just now, Xiaodao has been listening to the debate between the two people below without saying a word. He seems to be listening carefully, but it seems that he doesn't care what the people below are saying at all, and is caught in his own thoughts.

Xiaodao is indeed using two things at once, listening to the debate between the two parties below, while thinking about his own thoughts...

Since this period of time, Empress Xie has been urging him to marry the princess even more intensely, and even brought Ouyang Miaomiao, the granddaughter of King Jing'an, into the palace. People meet and get acquainted.Unexpectedly, this young lady of the Jing'an family also fell in love with Xiao Dao at the first glance, and she liked him very much.Seeing this, Empress Xie felt even more joyful, she had already recognized her as the crown princess, and she was reluctant to let her out of the palace after keeping her in the palace.

That Ouyang Miaomiao is more clingy than Xiaoru, and her acting like a baby is unrivaled in the world. She can cry as soon as she wants to cry, and the tears can flow down in an instant, and she can't refuse her in the name of the queen, until she I was so entangled with a knife that I wanted to jump off the Beiding Gate.

With two clingy people around him, Xiaodao missed Yu Ruyan's generosity more and more, and felt that these women around him were extremely childish and boring compared to Yu Ruyan, which made him more and more aware of Yu Ruyan is so happy, I want to be with her even more...

Every time Empress Xie talked to him about marrying a concubine, he would not involuntarily think of what Mu Ziyue told him, she said that Yu Ruyan was born with the appearance of a phoenix queen, and was the destiny of her mother. Every time he thinks of this, his heart will be ready to move. In addition, when he heard what Chen Yanfei said to Yu Ruyan in the garden that night, while hating Mu Lingzhi in his heart, he is also determined to snatch Yu Ruyan over. determination.

He remembered what his mother said to him, everything in this world will be his in the future, as long as it is what he wants, no matter whether it is a person or a thing, he can get it.

Therefore, in his heart, there is a voice that has been shouting that Yu Ruyan is his, the woman who will be his queen...

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiaodao's dark eyes slowly flicked across everyone's faces, and finally fell on Mu Lingzhi.

Looking at each other, Mu Lingzhi shivered for no reason!
For some reason, since Yu Huayuan met him last time, Mu Lingzhi felt that Xiaodao's attitude towards him was inexplicably weird, not to mention much colder, and even harboring an inexplicable hostility towards him.Moreover, in the previous discussions, Xiaodao also sang against him. As long as it was something he proposed, he would oppose it. Therefore, now that his father asked his opinion, Mu Lingzhi became nervous, and he felt that he would be like before. against yourself that way.

However, unexpectedly, Xiao Dao did not contradict him this time.His obsidian-like jet-black eyes stared at Mu Lingzhi for a moment, then turned his head and said respectfully to King Liang: "Father, I feel that it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Brother Sanhuang. With the experience of dealing with exile bandits, sending the emperor brother will surely be able to deal with the disaster well, and at the same time, be able to clean up the exile bandits smoothly, and return the victims to peace."

Xiaodao's words were so loud that King Liang no longer had any worries, and immediately ordered Mu Lingzhi to leave for the disaster area in the south.

Mu Lingzhi was also desperate. He was afraid that something would happen to Yue Yu after a long time, so he stepped back immediately after he got the order, and ordered the lieutenant to order troops, but he rushed back to Bieyuan at the last time to take another look at Yu Ru Yan.

At that time, Yu Ruyan was sitting in the warm pavilion in the other garden, with the utensils for making sugar figurines in front of her, holding a small sugar figurine in her hand.

But the candy figure was pinched halfway and couldn't go any further. She stared at it blankly, her heart was empty!
Mu Lingzhi was wearing a black cloak, and he went to the other garden in a gust of wind, and asked Qingyu Ruyan to be in the East Nuan Pavilion, and hurriedly walked towards the Nuan Pavilion, but when he reached the door of the Nuan Pavilion, he couldn't help slowing down, letting the attendants The servant took off the cloak on his body, not wanting to bring the wind, frost and cold into the Nuan Pavilion, where he would be as cold as jade.

The door was gently pushed open, Yu Ruyan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't care, thinking it was Chunhua and the others who came in, she asked in a daze without looking back: "Your Highness is out of the city?"

After waiting for a while without hearing a reply, Yu Ruyan was about to turn her head to look, when suddenly a pair of wide, slightly cool palms stretched out from behind her, wrapping her hands tightly, and a deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded slowly behind her. , Mu Lingzhi's voice was filled with infinite nostalgia, and he said: "My lady, I would like to send you my husband for a ride!"

The north wind was bleak, and the third prince of the God of War led his troops to go out again, but this time he was not dealing with the invading enemy, but the moth of the country.
