Zhong Zhaofan's words were extremely harsh and insulting, but after Mu Zhiming heard it, the first emotion that came to his heart was not anger, but doubt.

Puzzled why Zhong Zhaofan said this.

If he looked down on himself, he could let himself be exposed to the cold in front of the barracks.

Why deliberately invite yourself into the tent, serve hot tea, and after some debate, suddenly humiliate.

Mu Zhiming was wondering, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from behind him.

In the next second, the desk was overturned and the porcelain cup fell down. Zhong Zhaofan was punched hard on the right cheek and was knocked down directly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and two teeth!

There was blood in the depths of Gu Heyan's eyes. He grabbed Zhong Zhaofan's neck with his right hand, and grabbed his arm with his left hand to lift him up. Just two words were squeezed out from his clenched teeth: "Apologize. "

In the blink of an eye, Mu Zhiming suddenly knew the answer to the question in his heart. He rushed over, grabbed Gu Heyan's wrist, and said anxiously: "He Yan! No! He is deliberately provoking you!"

"Ho ho ho." Because his throat was choked, Zhong Zhaofan could only let out a distorted laugh. Although he spoke reluctantly, he said in a triumphant tone, "As expected of Xuan Ninghou, I saw it through at a glance, but unfortunately it was too late, it was too late. I heard that General Gu and your husband and wife are deeply in love, now that I see you, it is really...uh..." The hand that grabbed his throat suddenly tightened, like an iron hoop suddenly tightened, making him speechless.

Gu Heyan didn't seem to care whether Zhong Zhaofan deliberately provoked him or not, he spoke slowly, his words were like a sharp blade quenched with poison that could seal the throat with a sword, making people shudder: "Apologies, if there is one more nonsense, I will definitely Kill you."

As the killing intent approached, Zhong Zhaofan shivered down his spine and looked at Gu Heyan in shock, because he realized that what he said was not a moment of anger, but a threat that he said he would do.

The hand clamping his throat loosened slightly, Zhong Zhaofan turned his eyes to Mu Zhiming, his tone became distorted due to the pain in his throat: "...I'm sorry, I was rude..."

Gu Heyan let go of Zhong Zhaofan and let him fall to the ground, unwilling to even give him a look.

The movement of the dispute was so great that it naturally attracted other soldiers.

Gu Heyan turned a deaf ear to other people's inquiries, and said to Mu Zhiming, "Come."

Mu Zhiming followed closely behind him, left the land of right and wrong, and went to the camp of the commander of the Melting Flame Army.

Inside the camp, there was no one else, and everything was quiet.

Gu Heyan took out a thick brocade robe from the big wooden box in the corner of the tent, put it on Mu Zhiming, grabbed his cold hands, lowered his head and rubbed them gently, trying to warm him up.

The noise of the conflict just now was still in my ears, but at this moment, neither of them wanted to think about it or mention it.

Gu Heyan: "It's too cold, you should wear more clothes."

Mu Zhiming: "Okay."

Gu Heyan: "Why are you here?"

Mu Zhiming: "Doctor Xia said that you were hit by a military baton. I am worried and want to see you. Are you seriously injured? Does your back still hurt?"

Gu Heyan: "I'm fine now."

Mu Zhiming hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Then...are you tired?"

Gu Heyan's movement of rubbing Mu Zhiming's hand was slightly stagnant. He was speechless and silent for a long time. Finally, he didn't answer, but said softly, "Hold me."

Those three words made Mu Zhiming's heart suddenly constrict, and he felt the pain of pinpricks.

Mu Zhiming stretched out his hand, hugged Gu Heyan into his arms, supported the back of his neck, let his forehead rest on his shoulder, and patted his back lightly. The world was miserable, but fortunately, he was warmed and at ease at this time.

However, being full of passion and loyalty, one should not only face intrigue, treachery and persecution.

Should not be ah.

That night, Zhong Zhaofan took the secret order from Prince Fu Qi out of the iron lampstand and lit it with an open flame.

The flames lick the rice paper, leaving only strands of ashes jumping up in the air.

The next day, because of Gu Heyan's intimidation of his colleagues and his injustice, Prince Fu Qi ordered that he be dismissed from the position of General Yubayashi and demoted to Bo, the head of Yushitai. Under Zhong Zhaofan's command, he announced to all officials as a punishment.

Another three days later, Zhong Zhaofan was ordered by the prince to leave the capital with [-] soldiers from the Luodu camp, and stationed at the border north of Baicheng, and set off immediately without any mistakes.

So far, the military power in Gu Heyan's hands has been completely taken away.

On the day of receiving the decree, Gu Heyan knelt in the ancestral temple of the Gu family's ancestral hall for a whole night.

Mu Zhiming didn't try to persuade him, but just sat quietly in the wing room with the light on, without sleep all night.

The north wind was blowing, the dead branches were mourning, and the snow had fallen early in the morning. Pei Hantang came to the general's mansion to look for He Yan.

He didn't see Gu Heyan, but saw Mu Zhiming with a gloomy expression.

Pei Hantang was taken aback: "Oh, you two... hey... Where's Gu Yuyi? Are you still kneeling in the ancestral hall?"

Mu Zhiming nodded.

Pei Hantang sighed and didn't know what to do: "I'll go and persuade him now."

Mu Zhiming: "Master Pei, go in and out through the back door to avoid people's eyes and ears, so as not to be targeted by those who plot evil."

"Okay." Pei Hantang nodded and persuaded, "Master Hou, you need to pull yourself together."

Mu Zhiming lowered his eyes and blamed himself: "I shouldn't have gone to the military camp to look for him that day."

Pei Hantang said: "Master Hou, you are always smart and consider the situation. How could you say such stupid words? There is no reason to incriminate them. Even if you didn't go that day, they still have hundreds of ways to convict Yu Yi."

Mu Zhiming bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for comforting you."

Pei Hantang waved his hand: "I'll go to the ancestral hall to have a look at Yuyi, see you, Lord Hou."

As soon as Pei Hantang left, he heard the sound of the crane and came back.

"Young master, young master." Wen Heyin went straight to Mu Zhiming's side, grabbed Mu Zhiming's wrist and pulled him out, "His Royal Highness is looking for you." Wen Heyin lowered his voice, "He got There's tea."

"I got it?!" Mu Zhiming was overjoyed, and his footsteps became a little anxious, "It can be considered that I got it, bring the drug powder for drug testing, and we will go to the palace of the virtuous king."

"Master, I'm not going to Prince Xian's Mansion." Wen Heyin hurriedly said, "I'm going to Prince Su's Mansion."

Mu Zhiming paused: "What? Go to Su Wang's Mansion?"

Wen Heyin nodded: "Yes, that's what the news from His Royal Highness Xianwang said."

Mu Zhiming: "...Let's go."

The two came to King Su's mansion, quietly entered through the side door, led by the attendants in the mansion, passed through the corridor, and went to the door of the inner room deep in the mansion. Wen Heyin was stopped because of the sword, so Mu Zhiming entered alone.

Fu Ji'an and Fu Yi have been waiting for a long time.

Mu Zhiming bowed and saluted: "I have seen His Highness King Su, I have seen His Highness King Xian."

Fu Ji'an hurried forward and helped Mu Zhiming up: "Brother Mu, there are only three of us here, so there is no need to be bound by etiquette."

Mu Zhiming slowly looked at Fu Yi, seeing the latter smiling inexplicably, he asked, "Why is the tea in Su Wang's Mansion?"

Fu Ji'an said: "I was too closely watched by the prince's people, and I was really struggling. Thanks to Brother Wuhuang's willingness to help, I got this tea!"

Fu Yi smiled kindly and said, "It's my peace of mind that I can help you. I won't say much more. Let's do a drug test."

"Yes." Fu Jian looked at Mu Zhiming, "Brother Mu, did you bring the medicine powder?"

In just a few sentences, Mu Zhiming knew that Fu Ji'an had told Fu Yi everything.

In his past and present lives, Fu Ji'an has embarked on the bloody path of fighting for power and power. Since he has chosen this path, he is definitely not a naive person.

He has his own vigilance, but there are two people he trusts with all his heart.

One is Mu Zhiming and the other is Fu Yi.

Brotherhood, blood is thicker than water.

That's why Mu Zhiming didn't tell Fu Ji'an about Fu Yi's wolf ambition.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fu Ji'an would never have believed it.

In fact, in the previous life, Mu Zhiming couldn't believe it, and why didn't he break down and cry when he found out.

Mu Zhiming took a deep breath, settled down, and nodded: "I have."

He took out the medicine pot in his arms, took a bowl of clear water, poured the powder, and then put in the tea leaves.

After standing still for a while, black color oozes from the tea leaves, and strands of it sway in the bowl, dyeing the whole bowl of clear water into black!

Mu Zhiming's heart shuddered, his complexion became ugly: "It's really poisonous..."

Fu Ji'an clenched his fists: "I'll go find out who poisoned you!"

"No way." Fu Yi shook his head, "The crown prince is watching you so closely, if you are asked to find out who injected the poison, you may scare the snake."

There was nothing wrong with this statement, Fu Ji'an fell silent.

Fu Yi looked at Mu Zhiming: "Li Zhu, do you have a plan in mind?"

Mu Zhiming looked up at him.

The two looked at each other, and each other's hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

Fu Yi suddenly said again: "General Gu... No, he is no longer a general. How is Master Gu?"

Mu Zhiming frowned: "Why is there something in His Highness King Su's words?"

Fu Yi smiled: "The one who knows me is Li Zhuye. In fact, I inquired about a piece of news related to Mr. Gu yesterday, and I was quite concerned about it, so I asked you."

Mu Zhiming: "What?"

Fu Yi's tone was not heavy, but his words were like an awl, piercing into Mu Zhiming's heart: "Prince Fu Qi has been investigating four years ago, Mr. Gu led the army to the southwest and joined hands with the King of Shu County. As far as I know, , Fu Qi has already grasped conclusive evidence. Since the emperor took the throne, he has been most afraid of military generals getting close to the king of Shu County. Although Lord Gu is to defend against the invasion of Zhao Kingdom, he did send troops without authorization, and charged him with treason , It’s not just a matter of a word from the prince of the prison country.”

Wen Heyin was originally waiting for Mu Zhiming outside the door of the room, but not long after seeing him go in, he suddenly ran out with a pale face and stumbled.

"Master, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Wen Heyin was startled, and quickly supported him.

Mu Zhiming trembled all over and his voice trembled. He was usually eloquent, but at this moment he couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "Quick... let's go to the general's mansion..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was so anxious that he leaned over suddenly and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

On this day, Zhong Zhaofan, who was going to the north of Baicheng, received a secret order to arrest the General of the Rongyan Army, Wei Lingyun, and bring him back to Beijing as soon as he arrived at the border, because he was the one who conspired against the leader of the Rongyan Army and the King of Shu County four years ago. Mastermind.

On this day, three supervising troops rushed to the northwest frontier to dismantle the [-] melting flame army stationed there, and inspect the soldiers of the melting flame army who participated in the conspiracy.

On the same day, Gu Heyan was arrested in the Gu family's ancestral hall, in front of the Phnom Penh vermilion spiritual plaques full of loyalists.

Disperse the mask, put on the shackles and chains, and go to Dali Temple Prison.
