The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Even if Mu Rong knew, Xu Rongrong would never send someone to the Yingwei Yamen to deliver a message for no reason.

But this is the first time in six months of marriage.

On the way back home on horseback, I felt very happy.

He dismounted, threw the reins to Mu Yi, and went straight into Xinghui Hall.

"What do you want to see me for?"

Xu Rongrong was startled out of nowhere. She had only asked Luo Shu to tell him to go back home directly after his shift, but she didn't expect him to come back now.

"Why did you come back now, Lord?"

"I have nothing to do these days, and I was just chatting with them in the camp. Since Rongrong is busy, it doesn't hurt to come back earlier." Mu Rong said with a smile, running all the way, a few strands of hair were blown down by the wind, swaying in front of his cheeks.

Xu Rongrong knew that what he said was not true.

Now is the critical time for sending New Year gifts to various places, how could nothing happen?

Watching him hurried back, Xu Rongrong thought to herself that if she encountered this situation again in the future, she should wait patiently until he got off duty.

A tiny seed was sprouting in her heart.

It's just that she hasn't realized it yet.

She called Wen Yao to serve tea, and then patiently told her everything Luo Chen said today: "Luo Chen has a sharp eye, and I can trust his words, but if the private storage of troops in various places is true, then the truth is probably not something that traveling merchants can quickly find out."

She paused, "Now is the time when people from all over the country come to Beijing frequently. If you find out the truth, you can make preparations early."

Mu Rong had been in the army for many years and understood it immediately after hearing it.

But he was not in a hurry. He just looked at Xu Rongrong with a smile in his eyes.

The girl was filled with anxiety. Seeing the burning gaze from the opposite side, she became a little annoyed: "Why are you staring at me, Lord?"

"Rongrong, are you planning to settle down in Jiangnan?..."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Oops! She was so anxious that she forgot to hide the matter, and Mu Rong discovered it.

My originally anxious heart became even more anxious at this moment.

She glanced at Mu Rong and said, "I stay in the mansion all day long. Everyone in the mansion is yours. If I really want to settle down in Jiangnan, how can I hide it from you, Lord Marquis?"

Mu Rong bent down and met her gaze: "My people only protect Rongrong's safety and will not ask about anything you do."

His words were so decisive that Xu Rongrong didn't know how to respond for a moment.

But before she could open her mouth, she heard Mu Rong's laughter again: "If Rongrong really plans to go to Jiangnan in the future, don't leave me behind when the time comes."

Xu Rongrong stood there in a daze.

She stared blankly at Mu Rong's earnest eyes, but saw her own dazed reflection.

Mu Rong did not expose her again, nor did he force her. He just brought the topic back while she was stunned: "Rongrong, don't worry. I will arrange people to investigate the matter of the garrison. As long as there are any clues, we will be able to find out the truth before the end of the year."

Xu Rongrong naturally trusted the strength of the Mu family army, otherwise she would not have been so anxious to tell him.

"If this is true, how does the Marquis plan to deal with it?" she asked.

"In the past two months, there have been no military orders to mobilize troops except in the northern border. If there really is a sudden emergence of troops disguised as civilians, it must be the work of that person. At this moment, it is unclear whether he is coming for me or for my third brother." Mu Rong stood up, his eyes deep, "But since they are mobilizing troops quietly and privately, I can also make them disappear quietly and secretly."

The emperor trusted him very much, so the guards in the suburbs of Beijing were under his control.

In addition to his various plans since his rebirth, the defense of the capital is now under his command.

It can be said that the safety and lifeline of all royal officials are in his hands.

This was enough to prove how ingenious the plan he and the third prince had made. If there had been a mistake and the emperor's secret guards had discovered any clues, the current situation would not have happened.

But the situation in the court is unclear now. Given the emperor's suspicious nature, he wants to consolidate his imperial power, and secretly sending troops to lurk is just one of his common methods.

In the previous life, my third brother was framed for treason. When the emperor sent him to Chuyang City to suppress the rebels, didn’t he also secretly send an army to follow him?

It was not until the enemy was at the gates that Mu Rong discovered that the caravans, civilians, and refugees who followed him were all soldiers in disguise. If he had not successfully "cleaned up" Chuyang City, I'm afraid his third brother would not have been able to escape the hands of those people.

Thinking of this, something suddenly flashed through Mu Rong's mind.

After his rebirth, he immediately sent the Mu family army to the vicinity of Chuyang City to investigate the whereabouts of the army, but there was no trace of them.

Chuyang City is five hundred miles northwest of Yuzhou City. Could it be that... this army of Jiangnan Dao is the same one from the previous life?

He suddenly had a moment of clarity.

After the death of the third brother in the previous life, the army disappeared quietly again.

He'd been searching for two years without any results, and now... it just happened to fall into his hands.

Xu Rongrong just looked at Mu Rong, whose expression kept changing before her eyes.

From doubt to joy, she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Did the Marquis find anything?"

Mu Rong subconsciously grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms: "Thank you, Rongrong! Thanks to you!"

Because he was on duty at the camp today, he was still wearing armor, and the sudden pull caused Xu Rongrong to bump into his hard chest. Her chest hit the buckle in front of him.

He let out a muffled groan.

Mu Rong finally came to his senses and quickly let go of her: "I'm sorry, I was reckless! Where did it hurt? Let me take a look for you."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. After he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong glared at him hatefully: "You lecher!"

Mu Rong was stunned at first, then he understood.

He was so busy apologizing that he didn't notice where he was hurt. Now, seeing Xu Rongrong covering her chest with her hands, looking both painful and annoyed, he realized how presumptuous his words were.

It’s not wrong to describe him as a lecher...

His face turned red, and he didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.

"I'll ask Wen Yao to come and take a look at it for you." He spoke without thinking.

Xu Rongrong stamped her feet in anger: "No one... no one is suitable to come."

She turned her back, and although the pain was so excruciating, she didn't dare to rub it in front of him.

Mu Rong looked at the copper buckle in front of him, annoyed with his own recklessness just now, but at the same time he didn't know how to help her relieve it.

His fingers curled and unclenched nervously.

Wearing armor, he should have been a general who had experienced many battles and was not afraid of danger.

But at this moment, he was as anxious as an inexperienced teenager, and was at a loss what to do because of her faint sobbing.

"I can close my eyes and use my inner strength..."

"go out!"

The next moment, Wen Yao and Luo Shu, who were sitting and chatting under the eaves, saw the marquis being kicked out of the room by his own young lady with a sullen look on his face.
