The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Here, Jiang Renhe and Xiong Er were very happy to see the city gate open. Just as they were about to congratulate Tian Muyu, Tian Heng spoke hastily.

"Our Lord has ordered that only the Emperor is allowed to enter the city, and the rest of us must retreat 500 meters away and camp."

Xiong Er refused, "No, if the emperor goes into the city alone and something unexpected happens, it will affect the stability of the entire Great Saint Dynasty. We will not agree to this."

Jiang Renhe also said, "Yes, if you want to go in, we two must follow you."

Tian Heng was helpless, "I am only here to pass on a message. Our Lord has emphasized this. If you follow me into the city, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Tian Muyu stepped forward and said, "Just as my third brother said, I will follow him into the city alone. General Xiong, big brother, you wait for me outside the city."

Xiong Er and Jiang Renhe still refused.

Tian Muyu gave them a look that indicated that nothing would happen and told them to wait for his news.

Seeing Tian Muyu following Tian Heng into the city alone, the heavy city gate slowly closed. At this time, other generals saw that things were not going well and rushed over.

"General Xiong, how could you let the emperor enter the city alone? If something happens, how can we go back and explain to the empress and the whole court?"

"That's right. Tian Muqiong has long harbored rebellious intentions. What if he threatens us to withdraw our troops by using the emperor?"

"You two shouldn't be the ones making the decision on such a big matter!"

Seeing that the generals were about to embarrass Xiong Er, Jiang Renhe stood up and said, "It was the emperor who insisted on entering the city alone. When there is no news from the emperor, we will follow King Qiong's instructions and retreat 500 meters to set up camp."

Xiong Er, "Yes, all officers, listen up, retreat 500 meters and station!"

Although the generals were reluctant, they had no choice but to go back and carry out the orders given by Xiong Er.

Before leaving, they turned back and complained that Xiong Er shouldn't have allowed the emperor to do what he wanted.

Xiong Er was naturally worried about the emperor, but he also knew that the emperor was not a reckless person. Since he decided to go into the city alone, he must have a plan to retreat safely.

Thinking of this, Xiong Er’s worries about Tian Muyu were a little less. “Let’s go, let’s settle down.” He called Jiang Renhe to leave with him.

When the Northwest Army on the city wall saw that Xiong Er and his men had left, they reduced the defenses on the city wall.

Ouyang Qingfeng remained silent for a long time after listening to the conversation between Tian Muyu and Tian Muqiong as relayed by Xiong Er.

Jiang Renhe asked carefully, "Senior, did you find anything wrong?"

Ouyang Qingfeng looked up at him, "Doesn't the emperor want to be the emperor?"

Jiang Renhe was stunned, "Why doesn't the emperor want to be the emperor?"

"If he wanted to be the emperor, why would he say something like abdication? He thinks he is Yao or Shun, so he can give the throne to whoever he wants?" Ouyang Qingfeng was a little angry. "The Empress, General Xiong and others have made great efforts for this throne. How can he just give it up like that? Has he asked the Empress for her opinion?"

Jiang Renhe signaled Ouyang Qingfeng to lower his voice, "Senior, this is not something we can discuss. The emperor said this, perhaps to confuse Tian Muqiong and buy time. You also know that the emperor is not a man without rules. Whatever he wants to do, he must have thought it through carefully."

Ouyang Qingfeng shook his head. "Without the queen by his side, he might not be able to control Tian Muqiong. Although Tian Muqiong was not prominent before, he was able to control Cui Hao's Northwest Army by himself, which shows that he is not an ordinary person."

Jiang Renhe naturally agreed with this point.

The face-to-face confrontation between Tian Muqiong and Tian Muyu also confirmed that Ouyang Qingfeng's worries were correct.

Tian Muqiong fully accepted the sincerity that Tian Muyu had shown first, but although he accepted the sincerity of his fourth brother, he did not intend to return the sincerity.

When Tian Muyu sat down in the main hall of the Jiedushi's government office, he was shocked by the specifications and decoration of the government office. Although it was not as good as the imperial palace, the furnishings inside were no worse than those in the imperial palace. Especially the main hall for meetings, which was completely copied from the imperial study in the palace, even the tables and chairs for ministers to sit and rest were exactly the same as those in the imperial study.

"What do you think of this conference room, my royal brother?" Seeing Tian Muyu amazed at the furnishings inside, Tian Muqiong asked at the right time.

"Brother, is this decorated like the Imperial Palace's study?"

"No, no, this is not my credit. It was all Lord Cui Hao's idea. I just took over his National Defense Army and temporarily stayed here. It was not my doing."

Tian Muyu said "oh", he looked up and saw the paperweight on the desk, and he knew that Tian Muqiong had lied.

This paperweight was exactly the same as the one on the desk in his imperial study. However, after he moved into the imperial study, he did not want to replace the things inside. However, Xue Huai'en and Yan Henian both said that it was unlucky to use the things of the previous emperor, so they had everything that Prince Duan had used previously taken away and replaced them with new ones.

The paperweight was a new one that Eunuch Guo specially found for him from the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although it looked a bit bulky, it was very useful.

Now the same paperweight appeared on Tian Muqiong's desk. Tian Muyu's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but worry about Jixiang in the harem. Maybe Jixiang didn't know that there was a spy planted by Tian Muqiong in the harem at this time?

With such worries, Tian Muyu and Tian Muqiong could not continue their heart-to-heart talk. After the two brothers exchanged polite words out of caution, they gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation.

"Fourth brother, don't leave the city tonight. It is better for you to stay in the governor's mansion than to go out and sleep in the open with those soldiers." Seeing that Tian Muyu was about to leave, Tian Muqiong spoke first.

"Brother, are you reluctant to let me go?" Tian Muyu knew that he was detained, but he didn't want to make it clear to Tian Muqiong. After all, once it was made clear, they would have no room for maneuver. Although he knew that Tian Muqiong wanted to become emperor, he still hoped that Tian Muqiong would turn back one day.

"Okay, since you want me to stay, then I will just stay here." Tian Muyu said, motioning Tian Muqiong to lead the way. He wanted to go back to the house to take a shower. After all, he had been traveling for more than a month and he could smell the stench on his body.

In the palace, Jixiang hadn't received any news from Tian Muyu for several days, so she became a little worried. After coaxing the children to sleep, she came to the yard.

Arya and Jiang Peipei followed her.

"Is Maodan not back yet?" Jixiang asked, looking at the bright moon in the night sky. It's already October and the weather is getting noticeably cooler. He wondered if Tian Muyu, who is far away in the northwest, is doing okay?

Jiang Peipei shook her head. "It would take at least ten days for Maodan to go back and forth. We just sent it out to bring news a few days ago. We have to wait a few more days for it to return again."

"I hope there won't be any bad news from there," said Jixiang.

Jiang Peipei was puzzled, "Cousin, did you feel anything?" She knew that her cousin was different from ordinary people. Not only could she predict danger, but she could also take precautions before the danger came. So, if something really happened in the northwest, her cousin would definitely react, right?

Is there really going to be unrest in the northwest?
