The prince is thinking of escaping marriage every day

After staying in such a barren and closed desert for several months, Mu Qianli finally embarked on the road back to Beijing with his parents; that morning, the weather was exceptionally clear, and the rising sun had peeled off the clouds and mist and turned into a brilliant orange The color hangs high on the clear and shallow clouds.

Mu Qianli followed his parents into the carriage, Gu Shibai stood on the side of the street not far away and watched him quietly, neither sad nor happy in his brown eyes; Mu Qianli opened the curtain to look at him, but Nothing can be seen from his calm expression, as if standing there is a puppet without a soul.

For some reason, looking at Gu Shibai like this, Mu Qianli felt an unknown fire in his heart; he frowned slightly, gave Gu Shibai a dissatisfied look, and put down the curtain as if venting his anger; Zheng Anjie, who was sitting beside him, saw that Dissatisfied, he looked out of the car window and asked, "But you can't bear to part with your friend?"

"He's not my friend!" Mu Qianli closed his eyes arrogantly, and snorted softly.

Zheng Anjie lifted the handkerchief in her hand and covered her lips with a smile, thankfully said: "It must not be, otherwise your father will know, and you will die of anger, and your son has become friends with the son of your deadly enemy."

Mu Qianli fell silent. He didn't know what his current mood was. It was like a bitter lotus slowly growing and spreading from the bottom of his heart. It was difficult all at once; the boy who suddenly appeared in his life was different from others.

He never lacked friends around Mu Qianli, and he never cared about those people talking and joking around him, flattering him; but now, he lost a friend named Gu Shibai, from now on, he can still meet more There are many better friends, but none of them will be Gu Shibai; the feeling in his heart is clearly deeper than friendship, so deep that he himself is confused, is Gu Shibai considered a friend to him?

Forget it, he carefully opened the curtain of the car again, but at the same moment, the carriage under the seat moved forward, he only saw Gu Shibai turn around, watching his eyes gradually go away, and that figure gradually disappeared before his eyes.

A lonely bird leaps from the imperial city to the magnificent palace. The current emperor of Cangyue Kingdom, Mu Chengjue, is the heir of the late emperor, but when he established the heir, the first emperor had doubts; The emperor Mu Chengjue was the eldest son of the first emperor, so there is no doubt that he was appointed as heir; it is a pity that the eldest son was far inferior to the third son of the first emperor, Mu Yunhuai, the southern king, who was intelligent and capable. But before he died, he handed over half of the military power in Feng'an, an important place in the capital, to the hands of his beloved son Mu Yunhuai.

Even ordinary people in the market know that this move is undoubtedly a foolish account made by the former emperor when his old eyes were dim; but the Southern King Mu Yunhuai has no intention of returning this military power to him. The snipe and the clam are fighting each other; to the surprise of thousands of people, the current emperor, Mu Chengjue, loves his younger brother more and more; it is the General Yun'an who was in charge of the other half of Feng'an's military power when the Southern King made trouble for no reason. He was dispatched outside the border, and the emperor agreed to him without saying a word.

However, the true love of this scene of brothers being close is probably only known to the emperor Mu Chengjue and the Southern King Mu Yunhuai; the royal battle will never stop, and it will only stop if the country is destroyed one day; Yun Huai's fear has not lasted for a day or two, and Mu Yun Huai's forbearance and concession to Mu Chengjue has definitely not happened overnight.

This assassination failed and failed to hurt the life of King Nan. Mu Chengjue had other methods, but at the moment, it was inevitable that he would be anxious about this matter, so anxious that he could hardly sleep or eat; Sitting on a mat in the palace drinking wine, a waiter who was waiting outside came in to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen is here."

Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, was an old minister of Mu Chengjue's former court, and was also Mu Chengjue's teacher when he was young, so he considered everything for Mu Chengjue; now, although he is still half-haired, it is heard that Mu Chengjue is worried, But still dragging a trembling sick body, he came to advise Mu Chengjue.

Mu Chengjue hurried forward and helped Elder Shen to sit on the soft seat. Seeing that he was out of breath, he couldn't help worrying and said: "Teacher is weak, you should rest at home and cultivate, don't worry about state affairs."

"Ahem." Old Shen coughed a few times, waved his hands, and motioned for Mu Chengjuan to sit down next to him, patted the back of Mu Chengjue's hands with wrinkled hands, opened his narrowed eyes, Shaking his head, he said: "The old minister knows that His Majesty is worried about the fact that the Southern King's military power is too heavy, so he is here to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Then teacher, what do you think I should do?" Now that Mr. Shen came, Mu Chengyue didn't have time to neglect, and cut straight to the point, throwing out all her questions.

"Nanwang is backed by Sunwang Zheng's three families, and he holds half of the military power in Feng'an. His Majesty must not touch him now. If the assassination fails this time, don't try again. You still need to wait for the right time. Your Majesty is still Find ways to strengthen the three families of Shen, Liu, and Yang behind you, and at the same time try your best to attract generals and cultivate generals, and when the time is ripe, you will gradually replace those who are in charge of the army under the Southern King, and then step by step remove the military power under the Southern King."

"The teacher said, I have been taught." Mu Chengjue bowed his head and said humbly.

"Your Majesty wins over generals is not an easy task, why don't you start with Yi first." Elder Shen coughed a few times against his crutches, leaned on his crutches, took a deep breath and continued: "General Yun'an, who is now in the borderlands, and General Yun'an Nan Wang has had a long-standing grievance, and His Majesty sent him to the frontier as a joke, but now it is better to recall him and take back the other half of Feng'an's military power, so as to contain Nan Wang."

"But if you call back rashly, wouldn't it be eye-catching?" Mu Chengjue hesitated. Shen Lao's body trembled slightly, and he chuckled a few times angrily: "There is an old saying, if you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse? Back then If the Southern King wanted to punish him, wouldn't His Majesty want to punish him?"

"This..." Mu Chengjue thought for a moment, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and kowtowed in thanks: "Yes, thank you teacher for your enlightenment."

Cangbei Desert

"Shen Cong, you have followed Ben to this place for seven or eight years, have you ever been homesick?" Gu Fulin stood on the sand dunes behind the barracks, staring at the barracks in the distance under the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I really thought about it. My family dragged Mr. Xiao Chenzhong to deliver a letter earlier, saying that my grandfather's health is not as good as before, and asked me to go back and have a look when I have time." Shen Cong replied in response to Gu Fulin's words.

"Grand Master Shen should also miss you very much. I will return to Beijing to report on my work next spring, so you can come back to Beijing with me and go home to have a look." Gu Fulin sighed and said, bowing his head and roughly kicking his feet. Nisha: "I don't know, when will I be able to leave this ghostly place."

"Maybe it's almost here." Shen Cong said, the night was dark, the sky was full of scattered stars, and the desert with few people was reflected more and more lonely: "A message has been sent from there, I hope the general can recover and build military merits as soon as possible, so as to return Jing made the excuse."

"Recovering the sand bandits is easier said than done?" Gu Fulin sneered. He had a long-standing grievance with the sand bandits, and how could the sand bandits be willing to surrender? How much blood will be stained with living people.
