The next morning.

When Han Li went to the sheriff's mansion to look for Gu Muchen, he bumped into the sheriff as soon as he entered the mansion, and they both welcomed the imperial edict from the palace.

Moreover, it was an imperial decree related to him. The eunuch Xuanzhi saw that Han Li was also at the county guard's mansion, so he didn't have to go to the Marquis' mansion again, and left after reading the imperial decree.

After hearing the content of the imperial decree, Han Li's expression was complicated, and he was stunned for a long time without recovering.

The magistrate had a happy face when he received the decree, as if he was happier than he was married to a wife, and Wu Xuan next to him was also unconcealably joyful, which let Han Li know how the decree came about.

With the marriage bestowed by the emperor, Han Li naturally did not dare to disobey the imperial decree. The prefect Wu An knew that it would be immoral to kill before playing, but for the sake of his child's happiness, he had no choice but to do so.

Moreover, his youngest son is also a little weak, and Wu An is afraid of dying of a sudden gas disease like Erlang, so betrotting his son to General Wu is naturally just to prevent accidents.

The more Wu An thought about it, the more he felt that this Han Li was pleasing to the eye, so he smiled and said: "It is his blessing that my son is able to marry such a good son-in-law as General Han. The general is concerned."

Even the marriage was arranged for the whole process, as if he was afraid that Han Li would not be willing to go back on his word, seeing Wu Xuan who was leaning over to hug his arm, Han Li's eyes twitched and he felt a bit of a headache.

But now Han Li has urgent matters to find Gu Muchen, and he has no time to take care of them for the time being, so he said, "Is my marquis still at the house?"

Wu Xuan immediately replied earnestly: "My lord and my lord went to the general barracks early in the morning, I can take you there!"

In the prison of the general barracks, because Nanjiang Xiangshi was not arrested as a criminal, he was arranged for a temporary residence next to him, and there were guards from the general barracks outside the door to closely guard him.

After all, it is in Xing prison, there is always a damp and musty smell in the cold winter, there is also a gloomy atmosphere from the cell, and there is no charcoal fire. Although there are no worries about three meals a day, the conditions are still a bit poor.

Xiaolin and Gu Muchen were sitting on the same long bench, facing a man in green clothes and long robes, his eyes were covered with a white cloth, although the upper part of his face was basically covered, it was still It can be seen that this person is handsome and has a detached aura about him.

It is said that most of the fragrance masters are physically deformed, and the five senses of the eyes, ears and mouth will always be the same, so when training the fragrance masters, they will deliberately poke and deaf, which will make the sense of smell more sensitive. The top level is hard to find for others.

The young man in front of him must be invisible, but Xiaolin always feels familiar when he sees people's faces, but he can't tell where he is familiar, maybe he doesn't care if he looks like an old friend.

The incense master Xu Yan smelled the incense in the box brought by Wen Xiaolin, then put it down, and said, "The spice that Prince Lin mentioned refers to the seeds of the blood-colored mandala?"

This person's accent was the same as that of a person from the Central Plains, which made Xiaolin and Gu Muchen stunned for a while, but it was confirmed that he was from the Central Plains by looking at his gestures. Xiaolin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Why is this bloody mandala thing?"

Xu Yan closed the brocade box, and said lightly: "This thing originally grew in the southern Xinjiang alien race in the southwest region. The mandala flower is extremely beautiful, and its seeds are very poisonous. Add it by smoking and roasting finished spices. A small amount will If people use Yang to aphrodisiac, after a long time, they will appear weak and weak, and if they are used too much, they will be fatal."

Hearing this, Xiaolin's face became gloomy, and he looked at him and said, "I think you are also from the Central Plains. Don't you feel that your conscience is condemned for helping foreigners to develop these poisonous spices to harm your own people?"

Xu Yan smiled, and said: "The grass people are like grass and ants, and they can't help themselves. Although they can't stop these people from being greedy for profit, all they can do is to minimize the amount and harm, otherwise the prince will not Sit here and talk to me next time."

Xiaolin savored these words, and thought that he had indeed lived longer than the rest of the royal family. Now that he is co-authoring, he still has to thank this person who is helping the tiger. In the end, he suddenly realized that the dose of the medicine was reduced, so he did not let him follow along. See the late emperor?

Xiaolin sneered, and didn't continue to argue with this question, but said: "Then there is a way to detoxify this thing?"

Xu Yan shook his head, and said in a mysterious way: "If this thing is a small amount of incense, it will have no effect on people who practice martial arts, so they can restrain themselves when they practice martial arts since childhood. Men's essence can be suppressed."

These words extinguished all the light of hope in Xiaolin's heart at once, and there was not even a speck left. If you come up with a way to overcome poison, this king will give you a chance to reform yourselves, if you can’t develop an antidote, you will be punished as an accomplice of traitors for murdering the court.”

"..." This prince is really domineering and unreasonable, Xu Yan has no choice but to say: "Then prepare a incense room for me, and I will list out the things I need later, try it as much as possible, but don't worry about it." High hopes."

Xiao Lin nodded and said, "This is no problem, I will prepare it for you later."

Gu Muchen saw that Xiaolin was still a little depressed, and his hands on his knees were clenched into fists, so he reached out to hold his hand to comfort him.

Xiaolin raised his head to look at him, and saw the consolation in his eyes that could soothe his mind, and he calmed down a little. This kind of result really made him a little disappointed, maybe because his expectations were too high before, and now he is getting more and more disappointed now. big.

At this time, Gu Muchen looked at the person over there, and said in a deep voice, "Are you making incense for the national teacher?"

Gu Muchen asked this question because he found that the national teacher Qingyu suddenly wanted to exchange spices with Nanyang people with fierce fire oil recently, and Nanyang, a small country with no ability to make incense, was able to be self-sufficient in spices. Obviously He took the incense master captive.

Xu Yan did not deny it: "As a perfumer, what you eat is craftsmanship. Only I can make this kind of incense. Isn't it normal for them to compete for it?"

He rolled his eyes when he heard people boast about Xiaolin, "You really are not humble at all."

It was almost noon when he came out of the prison of the general barracks, and he saw Wu Yi who came back from the outside leading his men to put several people in official uniforms into the prison.

Xiaolin didn't see Su Yan's figure, but seeing Wu Yi's displeasure, he asked, "Wu Zongbing didn't go well with his arrest?"

Wu Yi came over and made a military salute to the two of them, took off his helmet and put it under his armpits, and said dejectedly: "I heard that the Hong'an County guard went to the academy, so I took someone in disguise to arrest them, who knew that this kid was like a loach First, I heard the wind and slipped away, and I sent more people to ambush near the Hong'an County Sheriff's Mansion, and I will catch him sooner or later."

Xiaolin and Gu Muchen looked at each other, not surprised, after all, there are eyeliners everywhere in the academy, including the Jiangnan area, so it's normal for them to run away.

At this moment, Han Li and Wu Xuan rushed over. After Han Li saluted, Gu Muchen saw that Han Li had something to say, so he went ahead with him.

At this time, Han Li said: "The epidemic in the southwest region was really strange. It didn't look like a plague, but rather like poisoning. The imperial court allocated relief money and supplies to the local area, but they were all embezzled. The local water source was polluted, and the people were hungry and cold." Due to oppression and public grievances, they jointly wrote the Wanmin Letter to the court, but they were all intercepted by Su Yan, who was in charge of disaster relief."

Gu Muchen's expression became serious when he heard this, and he said with affirmative tone: "It is the national teacher who embezzled these disaster relief funds and supplies."

Han Li said: "Master Hou, the national teacher secretly withheld such a huge amount of food supplies and disaster relief funds, what does he want to use it for?"

Gu Mu said in a deep voice: "Raise private soldiers. Xiaofeng heard the news from the palace yesterday that the Imperial Master secretly sold those court incense to the rich and powerful to make a lot of money. Now it seems that this makes sense."

Han Li looked a little shocked, and said in disbelief: "He also secretly colluded with the aliens in southern Xinjiang, and now he has private soldiers. This national division is really planning to rebel!"

Gu Mushen said: "Let the shadow guard pay attention, this Su Yan cannot let him escape, he must be captured alive."

Han Li nodded, it should be, just walked out of the general barracks at this time, suddenly a person bumped into him, it was a young boy.

The young boy looked at them blankly, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and when he saw Xiao who came out from behind, he ran over and said, "My lord, it's great to see you're fine."

Xiaolin was talking to Wuxuan, and knew that he was married by the emperor. He turned around when he heard the voice, smiled and said: "San Yue, why didn't I see you when I came here? I heard that you were injured. Are you better now?"

Sanyue blushed and said shyly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, everyone was able to escape from death last time, thanks to the grace of your rescue, everyone entrusted me to thank you."

Xiao Lin smiled and said: "Thank you, I don't need it, but this time you have made a great contribution, and this king also wants to thank you."

Scratching her head in Sanyue, she was a little embarrassed, and then she was coy for a long time, and said: "Actually, Sanyue came this time to ask the prince for something..."

Over there, Gu Muchen looked this way, seeing Xiao Lin happily said: "Tell me, I will be satisfied if I promise."

Sanyue looked at this handsome man with a gentle smile in front of him. He was a little shy, so he knelt down and said, "Sanyue was originally an orphan and homeless. I can stay here and serve as a servant to the prince."

This made Xiaolin a little bit embarrassed, he had no shortage of servants around him, when he looked up, he saw that Gu Muchen was also looking at him.

Gu Muchen walked over, looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, put his arms around Xiaolin's waist and said, "I remember, you don't seem to need a servant to accompany you, my lord?"

Sanyue raised her head and saw this man with an aura of coercion on his body. His cold gaze made people dare not look directly at him. Seeing the intimate behavior between this man and the prince, he knew that the relationship was unusual, so he lowered his head and said: "Sanyue can do anything, as long as the prince orders."

Xiaolin didn't know why Gu Muchen did this, but he did think of one thing, that Xiangshi lacked an assistant, maybe he could arrange someone to run errands for him.

March heard no objection, so he stayed in the general barracks.

On the way back to the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Linchao leaned over to Gu Muchen, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, why did I feel like you were jealous just now?"
