After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

Mu Xi glanced at Long Jingmo's slightly red eyes and said, "Brother Long, did you know that there are forty boxes of gold in that tomb? They are all big boxes!"

"Yes, my eldest brother told me before he died that I must find this batch of gold. My father led 150,000 soldiers to fight against the Red Flame Kingdom. When he came back, only 120,000 were left. After being framed by Prime Minister Chu for treason, the emperor shot and killed 20,000 of them, and the remaining 100,000 hid in the mountains. Since then, these 100,000 people have not received a penny of military pay from the court, and have been hiding from place to place. Even if my father sold all his property, it would only be a drop in the bucket."

Long Jingmo's voice was trembling. Although he spent little time with his father, and his father had trained his eldest brother to be the successor, over the years, his father's old subordinates had called him "young master", and had always been ahead of him in all matters, big and small. The little emotion he once felt because he was a bastard and was not valued had long since disappeared. What he had to do now was to pay the wages owed to the soldiers and let the families know that King Pingnan had not forgotten them.

Feeling Long Jingmo's suppressed emotions, Mu Xi stopped talking.

We ran until the evening and finally arrived at Hulu Valley.

The valley was covered in snow, with occasional large rocks and burnt trees exposed. Half of the trees on the hillside were left with only half of their black stumps, and a flock of crows flew by, cawing like a scene from the end of the world.

"Brother, it's only 500 meters ahead, but there are so many rocks."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body flew into the air. Long Jingmo held Mu Xi in his arms, and after a few jumps, they arrived outside the tomb.

Mu Xi picked up a stone from the ground and threw it hard towards the ground one meter above his head. There was a loud bang.

A big hole appeared under my feet.

Long Jingmo held Mu Xi and jumped gently into the cave. The cave was pitch black. Mu Xi moved out forty boxes of gold.

Long Jingmo took out a tinderbox and used the small flame to sweep across the entire tomb. Looking at so many large boxes, his heart began to beat wildly.

"Brother Long, they will be here soon. Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistake?"

"They are all trustworthy brothers. If they repeat the same mistakes, it will be fate!!!" Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Mu Xi.

"Xi'er, remember that it is said in Kyoto that you and the prince were burned to death in this valley. Does that mean that the prince knows about this place?"

"Yes, but he didn't know about the gold. He was unconscious at the time, and Xier wanted to take it all for himself. You know, we were always fighting back then, not like now."

Long Jingmo's breathing stagnated, "Do you like the prince?"

Mu Xi was a little embarrassed, "At that time, I felt that I had died once, so I didn't care about some things anymore, so I was more casual!"

"Whatever?" Long Jingmo's eyes sparkled. "Xi'er, do you mean you don't like him and are just playing along?"

"Not entirely. Brother Long, please stop asking, okay?!" In fact, she didn't know. Every time they made love, she thought he was very handsome and was greedy for the heartbeat he gave her. Yesterday, when she saw Xia Yuyan hugging his thighs and crying, she felt inexplicably angry and wanted to fight.

Seeing Mu Xi's lonely expression, Long Jingmo pulled Mu Xi out of the tomb and said, "Let me send you out first, otherwise the prince will go crazy." After that, he held Mu Xi and flew towards the entrance of the valley.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they saw Ge Xiuwen and his brothers confronting Murong Yue's men. Everyone was on the verge of fighting with their swords drawn.

"Xi'er!" Murong Yue flew forward, took Mu Xi from Long Jingmo's hand, then struck out with a fierce palm, turned half a circle in the air, and sat on the horse's back.

The fierce palm wind forced Long Jingmo to retreat again and again.

"Young Master!" Ge Xiuwen and others exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" An Muxi was a little angry. "On the way to exile, Brother Long brought his brothers to protect us!!!"

Murong Yue glanced at Long Jingmo unkindly, hugged Mu Xi tightly, squeezed the horse's belly, and ran forward. Dongfeng and others followed closely behind, leading Xiao Hei.

"Master, wait for me, I'll go with you!" Baili Xiao urged the horse to follow.

"Young Master!" Lin Shichang looked at Long Jingmo with inquiring eyes.

"Ah!!!" Qin Huaili sighed in frustration.

"Let him be!!!" Long Jingmo said lightly, "We will be busy this time." After that, he walked into the valley.

The cold wind was so strong that it hurt Mu Xi's face. He turned his head and got into Murong Yue's cloak.

"I can't breathe because of the hug, be gentle!!!"

"Hmph, what are you doing going to that valley? You are not allowed to meet him again!" The strength in his arms loosened.

"Why? Xia Yuyan hugged the prince's thigh yesterday, didn't you enjoy it?"

"The King and Yan'er are innocent!"

"I and Brother Long are innocent, right?"

"That won't work, he likes you!"

"Doesn't Xia Yuyan like Brother Yue too?"

"An Muxi, have I spoiled you recently? I will retort you for everything you say!" He said in a threatening tone and held his arms tighter.

"What? You still want to fight?" An Muxi tried to pry the arm around his waist, but felt it break if he exerted force.

Murong Yue did not respond. She glanced around vigilantly, then picked up Mu Xi and flew into the air. After a few arrows whizzed past, she landed on the horse's back and continued running.

Dongfeng and his men drew their bows and shot arrows in the direction of the arrow feathers. Soon, several screams were heard from the snow pile.

An Muxi poked his head out from his cloak and said, "Your Majesty was really amazing just now. His reaction was even faster than that of a police dog!"

Murong Yue was very happy to be praised, but then turned cold and said, "Comparing me to a dog?"

"Hehe, Your Highness is so awesome. Xier is not well-educated, so some of my words may not express my ideas clearly. Please forgive me!!!" A hand was placed on Murong Yue's chest and patted it gently.

"Xier hasn't told me why I brought Long Jingmo to that valley?" For some reason, I always feel that this woman is hiding a big secret.

"That is a secret between me and Brother Long, you can't tell the prince!"

Murong Yue stopped talking. This woman didn't want to talk, so it was useless to ask.

When we caught up with Rong Jing's convoy, we found that everyone had already prepared the meal and set up the tents.

Butler Shi frowned slightly, holding the egg box and counting the frozen eggs.

Mrs. Wang complained, "I told you not to bring eggs. See if they are frozen?"

"I'm thinking that the abandoned city is poor and I can't buy eggs. I fought when I tried to buy these eggs!!!"

Mrs. Wang said unhappily, "You are the housekeeper of the palace, don't fight with the egg seller all the time, it's a loss of points." After that, she put the frozen eggs in her box into the box of housekeeper Shi, "Put all the frozen eggs here!"

"The prince is going to recruit soldiers and buy horses, so he has to save money, right? What do you, an old woman, know?" After saying this, she felt that it was not pleasant to listen to, and immediately looked around. She found Murong Yue and Mu Xi riding horses over, and immediately stood up with a motherly smile.

"Your Highness, Princess, the meal is ready. It's in the carriage in front. Meilan, Cuizhu and the others are watching."

"Yes!" Murong Yue jumped off the horse holding Mu Xi, looked around, and threw the whip to Steward Shi, "This is a good place you found, with a leeward wind. Rong Jing and the others haven't come back yet?"

Butler Shi rubbed his palms and said, "No, it should be difficult to buy. I walked for a long time."

"Okay, let's all go eat, then rest early, and get up early to set off tomorrow." After saying that, he pulled Mu Xi towards the carriage in front.

An Muxi looked at Murong Yue inquiringly, "Your Majesty, what do you want them to buy?"

"Of course, they are the three things that make explosives. I heard that Yuanlong Country used explosives to blow up the imperial mausoleum. I want to retaliate. Do you think my Murong family is easy to bully?"

Mu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness, they were also the ones who set off the bomb at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Otherwise, how could the Second Prince have been in a coma for so many days?"

"This king knows!"

Mu Xi sniffed, "Your Majesty, Yuanlong Country has made a huge effort to swallow Daxia this time. Xier heard that several important checkpoints have been bombed!"

"Ok!"
