Mu Qing looked at the guards cleaning up the battle ahead, sighed, and said to Ye Hongyu, who was still dark-faced:

"Your Majesty is indeed very brave. He killed every opponent and left no one alive."

Ye Hongyu could hear the meaning of his words at this moment, "Junior brother, if you want to be kept alive, you should have told me earlier."

"Forget it, I overestimated you."

Ye Hongyu: "..."

At this moment, Ashika also stuck her head in and interjected, "I think those bandits seemed to be well-trained in their actions, unlike ordinary bandits."

Ye Hongyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked Mu Qing:

"Is there?"

"..."

She held her forehead with admiration. Sure enough, she shouldn't have expected anything from her senior brother.

Because of this sudden change, seeing that they could not reach the next town before dark, the team rested on the mountain road.

Groups of bonfires were lit, and the guards sat around in groups of twos and threes.

Ye Hongyu bought more firewood, looked at Mu Qing and A Shijia who were sitting next to him and said, "I will keep vigil tonight."

A Shijia wanted to say a few polite words, but saw Mu Qing on the side speaking decisively.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Ye Hongyu nodded, glanced around, found a thick tree trunk, flew up to the tree and lay down half holding his sword.

The hem of his clothes was hanging down, and the young man's eyebrows were cold, looking uncomfortable.

Ashijia's words of thanks were stuck in her throat, and she turned around to look at her with admiration, whose temperament was completely different from that of Ye Hongyu.

This Yong'an King is better.

"Well, I see that both Your Highnesses are here alone. They must be in a hurry."

"I feel ashamed to say that the prince wasted his time to pick me up, and almost caused an accident to the princess. I really can't apologize."

While talking, Yusana also walked out of the car and sat next to her brother Ashika.

The princess of the Great Food Kingdom wore a gauze scarf and her face was covered by the veil, but her beautiful blue eyes could still be glimpsed.

"I'm really sorry. You recognized His Royal Highness as a gangster before I even thanked you. Could it be that His Highness is angry?"

Usana raised her eyes and looked at the boy in red on the tree.

"No, that's just his character. Princess, don't take it to heart."

Mu Qing said casually.

Compared with Ye Hongyu's repulsive appearance, Mu Qing, who seemed to have a cold temperament, was obviously much easier to get along with. They chatted with each other, and the brother and sister dozed by the campfire. In the end, Usana was really able to bear it. Unable to hold on, her brother urged her back to the sedan chair to rest.

The fish belly turned white on the horizon, and the night passed like this.

The car continued on the road the next day, with Mu Qing and Ye Hongyu riding at the front of the team.

As Mu Qing came closer, Ye Hongyu opened a barrier to block the sound and whispered to him,

"I didn't say yesterday that Fei Ge was at fault. Senior brother, please don't mention this matter, even if you go back to Beijing to report it."

Ye Hongyu has experienced a lot in the past few days and has gained some enlightenment, "You mean, this could be the emperor's handiwork?"

"I just guessed that after returning to Beijing, I need to meet this current emperor. The fate of a country is inseparable from its leader."

"I have actually done some research in the past few days. The Great Appearance is now in a prosperous age, and the world is at peace. There has been no war for fifty years."

"The world is not always at peace. There has been no war for fifty years. The position of generals has been vacant. The court does not often train soldiers and horses. If war is about to break out..."

Ye Hongyu also frowned and replied: "When I returned to Beijing this time, my father also said similar things. However, my father's status is sensitive. If he trains the army, he may be suspected of overstepping his power and treason."

Nodding with admiration: "The Holy Emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. Several princes have grown up, but he has not established a prince for a long time. Has senior brother been in contact with any of the princes?"

"I have met a few princes when I returned to the capital. The fifth and sixth princes are still young. My father said that if there was anyone who could compete for the crown prince position, he was later promoted to the eldest prince born after him, and the four sons of the former empress. All princes have the power to compete."

"I will investigate after returning to Beijing."

……

A group of carriages and horses were halfway through when they suddenly spotted some ragged people. Although there were not many of them, they gathered around the official road in twos and threes, but they all looked at the gorgeous carriages and horses with greedy eyes.

Ye Hongyu observed as he walked, looking at this group of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, completely unlike the people he had seen before.

Mu Qing pursed her lips, pulled the reins and asked the horse to stop and wait for Ashijia to come over and accompany her.

"Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please order the carriage and horses to speed up."

Although Ashijia didn't know why, she still did it.

"Everyone speed up!"

But at this moment, there was a commotion ahead, and Mu Qing raised her voice and asked:

"Elder brother, what's going on?"

"It's a wave of refugees!"

Mu Qing pinched the horse's belly and looked forward. The official road was densely packed with refugees supporting them as they walked forward, which happened to be opposite the carriage carrying the bride.

"Refugees..."

Usana opened a corner of the curtain and looked forward with compassion, "I didn't expect that there would be refugees in such a prosperous city."

"Princess enters the sedan chair." Mu Qing coldly pulled out the sword at her waist.

A Shijia, who was originally nervous, looked at her like this and stared at her with burning eyes: "His Royal Highness King Yong'an knows martial arts?"

He has seen the strength of Prince Zhenbei, and now he can finally see King Yongan take action!

"No." Mu Qing was decisive.

"Then draw your sword..."

King Yong'an, who was dressed in white and had an elegant temperament, looked back at him.

"Be bold."
