Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

After traveling across most of the Chixiao Kingdom, on the day they returned to the capital, many people gathered on the main street to welcome them, but they did not dare to make too much noise and just watched quietly to express their joy for the Chixiao Kingdom's victory.

The reason, of course, is that Jinchen is the commander of the Shenwei Army, and the people are in awe but also afraid of him.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Yue could even hear children crying in the street outside. Her mother scolded her and told her that if she continued to act up, she would be captured by the Ghost-faced General.

The effect of stopping crying was indeed very good, but Mu Yue felt very uncomfortable listening to it. She tried to hold it back but couldn't, so she lifted the car curtain and shouted to the outside, "The general is not scary!"

Before the people could react, Mu Yue was pulled in by Jin Chen and the curtain fell again.

"Why are you shouting? There are so many eyes in Beijing that recognize you." Jinchen said helplessly.

Mu Yue touched her head that was hit, and then she remembered her previous undercover identity. She immediately looked away guiltily and approached Jin Chen to act coquettishly.

"They scold you, and I feel unhappy when I hear them."

"Brother is the best general in the world, he is not scary at all."

Mu Yue moved forward and lay on Jin Chen's legs, lifted his mask and kissed his face.

Jin Chen was no longer angry. He hugged Mu Yue into his arms and said calmly, "Don't worry about what they think when you are a stranger to me."

"Um…?"

Mu Yue looked up at him curiously, "Brother, isn't it to protect our country that you become a general?"

"Yes and no." Jin Chen said, slowly closing his eyes, his tone calm, "I am not interested in this, but the Jin family has been generals for generations, and my eldest brother has a hidden illness and cannot go to the battlefield."

Thus, he became the only choice and no one could resist.

Muyue had heard Jinchen talk about his family before. He had an older brother and a younger sister, and the family had a very good relationship.

Mu Yue nodded slowly and rubbed Jin Chen's face again, "What is your ambition, brother?"

Jin Chen was silent, recalling his original memories, and then he squeezed Mu Yue's waist and forced a change of subject, "I want to marry you."

Mu Yue blinked, and the heart in her chest slowly accelerated again. She covered her face shyly, "I am ready. From now on, regardless of life or death, I will be yours."

"You always talk about death." Jin Chen ruffled his hair again, "Are you stupid?"

Mu Yue suddenly stopped talking, snuggled in his arms, slowly lowered her eyes, and sighed without finishing her words.

But I will die in a year.

A year is a short time, isn't it?

But it’s already good, Muyue thought, pinching the corner of Jinchen’s clothes, she can be with her brother every day, and her mother is living well.

Muyue curved her eyebrows again, hugged Jinchen's neck and kissed him.

Jinchen needed to go to the palace with his deputy general to report on his work and receive his reward, so he asked his personal guards to escort Muyue back to the general's mansion first, and also arranged a place for his mother to live in the capital for her retirement.

Everything had already been arranged, and Mu Yue happily returned to the general's mansion with her personal guards.

In the court hall.

The eunuchs in front of the emperor read out the imperial edicts one after another, and the generals of the Shenwei Camp were rewarded according to their merits. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking a little absent-minded.

He looked at Jinchen several times, then quickly looked away when Jinchen looked at him, and straightened his dragon robe as if feeling guilty.

Jinchen raised his eyebrows slowly, wondering what dirty trick this guy was planning.

When the last one, that is, General Jinchen's, was read out, the Right Prime Minister walked out before the eunuch could finish his words.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Jinchen watched the old man exchange glances with the emperor again, and immediately understood what was going on.

The stubborn old Right Prime Minister is Chi Hanhua's grandfather, and the news of Chi Hanhua's death has been reported back to the capital for several months. It turns out that the previous calm was waiting for his return.

Sure enough, the Right Prime Minister started crying for Chi Hanhua as soon as he opened his mouth. Every word he said implicated Jin Chen for killing the prince, which was a crime of insubordination and deceiving the emperor.

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

Some generals could not help but sue the Right Prime Minister for his nonsense. The general was a meritorious hero who had just returned from fighting in the battlefield. How could he be so disheartened!

But under the impulse, Jinchen's eyes advised him not to do anything but sigh and shut up reluctantly.

But how could the emperor not feel the unusual movements in the court? He glanced at Jinchen and rubbed his knees.

Then he asked, "My dear Jin, do you have anything to say?"

Jin Chen said calmly, "I only believe that those who are innocent will be innocent. Your Majesty wants to convict someone based on just one word from the Right Prime Minister. This is not the behavior of a wise ruler."

Crazy, as crazy as ever.

After coming back from the battle, the general still looked down on everyone.

The military generals could not help but want to laugh, but the civil officials were so eager to make a report. As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be abolished, and this ghost-faced general is too rude!

The emperor was probably angry at Jinchen, so he immediately stopped feeling guilty and waved his sleeves firmly: "Come on! Put Jinchen in jail!"

Jinchen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he glanced at the emperor with an ambiguous expression, but the latter avoided his gaze.

Jinchen turned around and stopped the generals who wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy for him. Rarely did he continue to go crazy, he just exchanged glances with Shi You, who nodded.

All the court officials could only watch helplessly as the great general, who had just returned victoriously, was taken away and imprisoned simply on the charge of a crime for which the truth had not yet been revealed.

No wonder His Majesty wants to transfer General Jin away today.

The court officials sighed and shook their heads, but they could do nothing.

-

General's Mansion.

She had already heard about the existence of this Young Master Mu Yue from letters, and Old Madam Jin even went out of her way to greet him at the gate with a big smile on her face.

But the expressions of others were different.

Under the guidance of her personal guards, Mu Yue also got to know the people who came to greet her, Jin Chen's mother, the old lady, and her younger sister, the Third Miss.

There was also a girl who looked at him with the most unfriendly eyes. No one knew who she was or what her relationship was with his brother.

Jin Qingqing looked at Mu Yue several times and was indeed amazed. However, when she thought of her second brother's words in the letter that he would not marry anyone else, she snorted awkwardly and hugged her best friend Su Yan's arm even tighter.

I originally thought of choosing my best friend as my sister-in-law. The two families are well matched, and we were just going to fight a war, but my second brother already has someone he likes.

Su Yan smiled at Mu Yue, but there was a subtle rejection in her smile. Mu Yue was sensitive to emotions and felt confused at the moment.

It was still Old Madam Jin who patted Jin Qingqing's hand as if warning her, and greeted her with a smile, "Good boy, come in with me quickly, Chen'er will be back soon after reporting on his work."

Walking into the main hall for receiving guests, Mu Yue found that the general's mansion had many servants and maids, which was not as casual and free as the Shenwei Camp. She was a little uncomfortable with it, especially the old lady's greetings, which seemed caring but were actually secretly testing her family background and identity.

Why is it different from what I imagined?

Mu Yue curled his eyes in dissatisfaction, and lowered his eyes to become even quieter. If he was still an undercover agent in the capital city in the past, he could still patiently flatter people and chat happily, but he just said one thing to one person and another thing to another.

But my brother said that he should just be himself and not do anything that makes him unhappy.
