prince attendant

It's just that on the way back, Mu Qing was silent all the way. After all, he was someone who once thought he could be a friend for a lifetime. After thinking about it, he never imagined that the friend he was proud of had the same understanding as himself. distinct identities.

On the way back, Mu Qing did not sit in the carriage either, but sat on the side of the carriage with Lan Ze, and said

"Thank you."

Lan Ze said coldly

"I just promised that sister will keep you safe, so you don't need to thank me."

Mu Qing looked at him after hearing the words, and after a while, said

"You call her Sister. Could it be that you have known Shishui since childhood, so why is she from Zibaifu?"

Lan Ze glanced at him, did not answer this question, but asked another question

"After this matter is over, will you take sister away?"

Mu Qing nodded and said

"If she wants, I will take her back to Chengyang."

Lanzer Road

"Even if she killed someone?"

Mu Qing: ...

This is really a difficult question. In other words, Mu Qing never thought that there was any life in the hands of the waders. He sighed and said

"If this disaster can be solved, it will be regarded as a crime. I am biased in my heart. I think that even if she kills someone, it will be considered a last resort."

Lan Ze sneered, probably thinking that its thinking was really naive, but he didn't say anything more.

And it took them five or six days to return to the original place.

It's just that when they returned to the state capital, they were stopped outside the city. That is, the entire state capital had been surrounded by people, and they could not enter or exit.

Around the town, many tents and houses have been set up with bamboo and wood, but the whole town is completely surrounded. Patrollers stand on the city wall, holding bows and arrows. If they see someone fleeing the city In addition, if you don't listen to dissuasion, you will shoot with arrows.

It was actually more rigorous than Mu Qing imagined.

Mu Qing reported her name, and was ushered into the bamboo and wood courtyard. Although the place is very simple, it is clean and tidy. Qingliu was sitting in the courtyard and didn't know what to do. When she heard footsteps, she looked at it immediately. Come here, very happy.

Mu Qing exchanged pleasantries with him, and then asked where the prince was.

Qingliu rubbed her nose and said with a smile

"He's still in the city, not only the crown prince, but also General Huan and Miss Washui are all working in the city, but Mr. Xie has left. It seems that there is an urgent matter in his family and he must be rushed back."

Mu Qing said oh, this is exactly what Lan Ze said to him.

Mu Qing said

"Then I'll go to the city and report back to him if I have something to do."

Qingliu grabbed him, shook her head under Mu Qing's puzzled gaze, and said

"No, Your Highness said, after you come back, you will be responsible for everything outside, and why should you run inside, they are all geniuses with unique skills, they can help check and balance inside, even Hua Jiang is also in the city because he wants to develop an antidote related to the experiment, but what are you going to do?"

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing was speechless for a while, and said

"This joke is not funny."

Qingliu said very seriously

"I'm not kidding you."

Mu Qing frowned, still felt that it was too hasty to leave the matter here to herself, so she said

"But……"

"Don't worry, it just so happens that you and this little brother came back, take a rest first, I will take you to meet the people here in the afternoon, ah, you can finally sleep, these people don't listen to me, really It's a big head."

Qingliu pushed him into the house, but before he entered the house, he heard a burst of arguing and crying.

Mu Qing asked doubtfully

"What is that sound?"

"People who sneak out of the city."

Qingliu said without any surprise

"There is a total martial law in the city, and almost everyone is isolated. Those people are simply unreasonable. They all thought they were going to destroy the city, and tried their best to run out, but when they ran out, they were caught and thrown directly into prison. It’s better to be in the city.”

Mu Qing let out a cry, but the continuous ups and downs of the crying sound made him feel restless and restless. Finally, he turned around and said

"Hey, what's going on here, let's go and see."

Qingliu hurriedly stopped him and said

"I'll just go, you rest here."

Mu Qing watched him run out in a hurry, squinted her eyes, and exchanged a glance with Lan Ze, seeing Wu Sheng, she still took a step.

They followed Qingliu and rushed over in a hurry, and saw a few people surrounded by groups. Qingliu, on the other hand, did not intend to play tricks in front of Mu Qing, and said mockingly

"It's not good to stay in the city, do you have to come out to die?"

"That's better than waiting to die!"

Those people's eyes were full of anger and panic, looking at the surrounding people in armor, they said in a broken voice

"Even if you kill me now, I won't go back. You demons are trying to torture us to death. You even said that you are from the government. The government just let the people wait to die like this!"

And the rest of the people one after another, said one after another

"That's right, that's right, an abolished prince! Come to issue an order to seal the city, is there still kingly law in this world, and I'm going out."

It seemed boundless anger was born, so he gave way again, revealing the sword and dagger hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed towards Qingliu.

Mu Qing's heart tightened, but before the weapon got close to Qingliu, it was smashed by an arrow.

All of a sudden, swords were on the verge of breaking out. Although it was ordered that someone would be shot if he didn't listen to the advice, how could he really take his life if he was not a person of great evil.

Mu Qing pushed aside the crowd, came in front of them, and said

"The prince is the prince, so why abolish the prince?"

he said

"Who in the world doesn't know that the prince has been deposed, but he came to our place and the place to show off!"

"What if I say that the Holy Majesty has handed over all the affairs here to His Highness?"

Mu Qing took out the imperial decree, and the people around were stunned for a while. Qingliu was the first to react, and immediately knelt down, shouting long live, and the others also quickly knelt on the ground. Kneeling, they all got scared and knelt down.

Mu Qing made it clear word by word, the Holy Majesty's intentions, one is that the crown prince has been restored to his identity, and the other is that the matter is left to the crown prince to manage.

After he finished speaking, he showed the jade seal on the imperial decree to everyone to show that he was not lying.

The people on our own side are naturally very proud, because there is an imperial decree from the sage, it is very justified, but the escaped people are full of disbelief, saying

"This is impossible, Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty..."

The words choked in his mouth, but he couldn't continue.

Mu Qing met the eyes of the people who ran out, but she didn't have any thoughts of relief.

After asking the soldiers to take all these frustrated people down, Mu Qing turned around and asked

"How is the situation in the city?"

However, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered him.

Boundless fear rose in Mu Qing's heart. He looked at the people around him and hurried towards the gate of the city, but the guards at the gate would not let him in, and said that even if it was the crown prince, the gate would never be closed. will open.

Mu Qing was so angry that he walked a few steps in place before saying

"Since Your Highness said that this place will be handled by me, then I am giving the order at this moment, let me go in!"

The guarding soldier looked at each other, struggling naturally in his heart, so Qingliu sighed and said

"If you want to see it, then go in. However, I advise you to be mentally prepared. When you leave the city, it will already look different."

After finishing speaking, he handed him a pill and explained

"This is a medicine made from Hua Jiang. It can keep those sick people away from you. I will wait for you to come back here."

Mu Qing exchanged glances with him, and then went in through the door with a gap. Lan Ze followed behind him and rushed in together.

The city was dead silent.

It was filled with an unpleasant smell of medicine, and it had the same smell as that pill. From time to time, I saw patrolling soldiers on the street. When I saw Mu Qing, I was about to scold him to leave, so I fixed my eyes and saw clearly. Who was the person on the street? He immediately ran over, bowed to him, and then raised his head and said

"My lord, why did you come to the city!"

The leader, not to mention anyone else, was the young man named Yunying who went to meet Mu Qing and Ji Yi when they were trapped in the wasteland by the lake that day.

When Mu Qing told him the whole story, Yunying sighed and said that he shouldn't have come in.

Mu Qing said

,

"Since I have already come in, there is no point in saying these words. Take me to see His Highness."

Convenience showed a strange expression, he hesitated for a while, then turned around and ordered his companions to follow the original route to inspect, and then said

"Then I will take you to the state capital, my lord."

So he followed to the government office, the more he went in, the weird smell became stronger and stronger, but on the ground, there were still a lot of thirsty blood, which made Mu Qing feel more frightened the more he looked at it, and along the road All the gates are closed, and Nuo Da, a town, seems to have disappeared.

Occasionally there was a cry from the courtyard, but no one responded. Mu Qing stood in front of the courtyard gate, before she could speak, Yunying said

"My lord, let's go."

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said

"Someone was crying inside."

Yunying has seen a lot, but she has already gotten used to it. Hearing what Mu Qing said, she said

"Being imprisoned for so many days, everyone would cry, but crying is better than dying."

say again

"Let's go, it's not advisable to stay on the street. If you run into a Gu person that hasn't been discovered yet, it will be worse if you get attacked. In fact, you shouldn't come in. There are not enough people in the city. Everyone has signed a life-and-death certificate to stay in the city. If something really happened , but no one came to save you."

This is very ruthless, Mu Qing said

"I don't know that the city is already like this, but I have something to report to His Highness, no matter what, I always have to come in and take a look."

Yun Ying said helplessly

"That's too risky. Fortunately, I met you today. Otherwise, if you met someone else, I'm afraid you will be killed directly. It's not impossible. To be honest, there are still people who are messing around on the street. , every strand is treated as a Gu person."

Mu Qing felt a chill in her heart, smiled slightly, coughed, and asked

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be in such a situation. Also, what do you mean by Gu people, are you referring to those whose bodies have changed?"
