The place where my heart goes to farming

In late July, after nearly a month of nursing, Mu Chen's injury finally healed.

Now that the injury has healed, Cen Le and Mu Chen will not continue to live in the Song Mansion to bother Song Yunxiu, and they are going back to the small courtyard.

On the day they left, Yan Zhixing happened to come back from Hangzhou.

After the previous attack happened, Yan Zhixing interrogated the traitor's third party overnight, and after the interrogation, he rushed directly to Hangzhou to join the Ninth Prince. He just came back last night.

Knowing that Mu Chen and Cen Le were about to leave the Song Mansion, Yan Zhixing stopped what he was doing, stood up, and walked towards the guest room where Mu Chen lived.

He hasn't repaid Mu Chen's favor yet.

Walking to the guest room, Yan Zhixing nodded to Cen Le first, then called Mu Chen out alone, and let him go to the study with him.

Seeing Yan Zhixing taking Mu Chen away, Cen Le stopped packing his luggage, his eyes could not help but be tinged with worry.

Yan Zhixing's identity made him a little jealous, and in his private heart, he didn't want Mu Chen to have too much contact with Yan Zhixing.

He also didn't want Mu Chen to get involved in the royal affairs.

Song Yunxiu came with Yan Zhixing, at this time he looked at Cen Le's expression, and comforted him: "The Seventh Prince will not involve Mu Chen too much, and this case is already in the making, the matter here in Jiangnan It's almost over, so don't worry."

Unlike Cen Le, Song Yunxiu knew a little bit about the origin and progress of this case, and was more aware of what was involved.

It was related to the royal family's secret affairs, which was a family scandal and should not be announced to the world, so he thought that Yan Zhixing would not involve Mu Chen in it.

Cen Le nodded slightly, but he still didn't let go of what he raised.

He could understand what Song Yunxiu meant, but he still felt that there must be something wrong with Yan Zhixing going to find Mu Chen alone.

—

Yan Zhixing called Mu Chen to the study alone because he wanted to thank Mu Chen for the previous matter.

At the same time, I also want Mu Chen to help him with one more thing.

After asking Mu Chen to sit down, Yan Zhixing didn't beat around the bush, and said straightforwardly: "I came to you because I want to entrust you with something."

Mu Chen was startled, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Is there anything your lord needs me to do?"

"I want you to go to Xuzhou." Yan Zhixing said, "What you have to do is not difficult, as long as you find a way to mix into two medicinal materials shops and find out the whereabouts of several herbs in these two medicinal materials shops. But, I will tell you the medicinal materials and herbs you want to check later."

Hearing this, Mu Chen didn't reply immediately.

He needs to think about it.

This time, he has already worried Cen Le very much. If he agrees to Yan Zhixing at this time, he will definitely make Cen Le worry about him again.

He was reluctant.

Seeing Mu Chen's hesitation, Yan Zhixing asked again: "Do you know why I asked you to do this?"

Mu Chen raised his head, "Why?"

"It's not you. I can let other people do this. I don't need people." He glanced at Mu Chen lightly. Yan Zhixing didn't hide his intentions. You are going to do it so that you can make meritorious deeds so that His Majesty can reward you in the future."

If you just saved him, you can only be thanked by him. Even if His Majesty finds out, you can only reward some silver taels at most, but in Yan Zhixing's view, what Mu Chen needs is not gratitude and silver taels, but other things. For example, one can protect Cen Le's identity.

Tapping the table with his fingers, Yan Zhixing asked again: "Don't you want to have enough ability to protect Cen Le?"

In his opinion, Cen Le is too conspicuous, and with Cen Le's current management method, the business will inevitably grow bigger in the near future.

Once the business gets bigger, the number of people who are jealous and jealous will inevitably increase. Jiangnan is prosperous, and it is also the hometown of champions, so there is no shortage of powerful people.

At that time, if there is no backer, no one can protect Cen Le, it will definitely suffer.

Mu Chen rescued him, and Cen Le and the Song family cooperated, so he didn't mind helping them and giving Mu Chen a chance.

It can be regarded as repaying the kindness.

Mu Chen is not stupid, not to mention that Yan Zhixing has already spoken clearly, so he also fully understands the meaning.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he nodded, "I see."

Standing up, Mu Chen clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I will do my best in this matter."

Yan Zhixing nodded, and said: "As for the safety issue, you don't have to worry about it. I will send someone to protect you secretly, but it is not convenient for my people to show up, and Song Ran will soon arrive in Xuzhou. If you encounter trouble, you can take it with you." My token, go directly to him."

As he spoke, he handed over a jade plaque engraved with "Seven Princes" to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took it and put it in his arms properly.

After a while, he asked again: "When am I going to go to Xuzhou?"

Yan Zhixing said: "In three days, I will tell you the medicinal materials shop you are going to and the medicinal materials that need to be investigated, and you can go straight away when it is too late."

Mu Chen responded with a "hmm".

"By the way, this is for you." Yan Zhixing took out a long box and handed it to Mu Chen, "Your injury is just right, and you need to mend your body. Earlier, I ordered someone to find a plant of thousand-year-old ginseng. Thank you."

"Thank you, my lord." Mu Chen didn't refuse, and reached out to take it.

Waving his hands, Yan Zhixing said: "Okay, you can go back, I will come to the door in three days, and you should say goodbye to Cen Le in these three days."

Mu Chen saluted Yan Zhixing again, and left the study with ginseng.

The waiting time is always very long.

Cen Le had something on his mind, and after sitting for a while, he couldn't sit still, and then simply stood up, pacing back and forth in the room.

Fortunately, Qin Ming and Song Yunxiu had already taken Rui Jue to the garden to play, otherwise he would have been turned dizzy.

When Mu Chen came back, he saw the restless Cen Le.

Thinking of what he promised Yan Xingzhi, Mu Chen felt distressed and guilty, but the reason Yan Zhixing gave him really moved his heart.

It's not for himself.

If he was the only one, he would be able to live no matter what.

But he has Cen Le, he wants to protect Cen Le, and he doesn't want Cen Le to suffer any more harm.

Cen Le is too outstanding, whether it is appearance, talent, or business management methods, without exception, they are all too eye-catching.

Last time it was Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong, and this time it was Jing Hengling, so what if another person comes out next time?

If he was just a commoner forever, with no power or power, even if he knew how to fight, he would not be able to protect Cen Le I at all.

Therefore, he needs this opportunity and an identity that can protect Cen Le.

Standing at the door, Mu Chen stopped and stared at Cen Le, his eyes became more determined.

After a while, Mu Chen spoke, called Cen Le, stepped into the room again, and walked towards Cen Le quickly.

Hearing the sound, Cen Le suddenly turned to look at Mu Chen, and asked worriedly: "Why did the Seventh Prince ask you to go to the study alone?"

"It's nothing, don't worry." Mu Chen hugged Cen Le, patted Cen Le's back lightly, and said in a gentle voice, "He just discussed something with me, and gave me a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish my body."

Sensing something keenly, Cen Le raised his head and asked, "What did he discuss with you?"

Mu Chen pursed his lips and fell silent.

He slowly loosened the hand around Cen Le's waist, turned to hold Cen Le's hand, pulled Cen Le to a chair beside him and sat down, held Cen Le's hand tightly, and thought about his words, Then he said slowly: "The Seventh Prince wants me to go to Xuzhou to do something for him...I agreed."

After hearing this, Cen Le couldn't help frowning, a trace of worry flashed across his face.

Lowering his eyes, he stared at the hands he and Mu Chen held, without responding for a long time.

Although he hoped that Mu Chen would not get involved in these matters, Mu Chen had his own considerations. Since Mu Chen agreed, there must be his own reasons, and that reason...maybe it had something to do with him.

Cen Le really wanted to ask, but when he raised his eyes and looked deeply into Mu Chen's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

It was a pair of eyes that contained guilt, firmness, tenderness and affection.

——Mu Chen has a reason to do it.

Sighing slightly, Cen Le didn't say anything more.

Looking at Mu Chen again, Cen Le was silent for a while, then slowly asked with sign language: "When are you going to leave?"

"...in three days."

"Okay." Cen Le nodded.

After a while, Cen Le suddenly hit Mu Chen fiercely, and pinched Mu Chen several times, but although he pinched hard, it didn't hurt.

After pinching, he said: "This is punishment."

Cooperating with Cen Le, Mu Chen exaggeratedly covered the pinched place, and made a painful expression again, Yan Yi flew up.

Cen Le watched and was amused to laugh.

After laughing, he approached Mu Chen's arms again, and gestured word by word, "You need to come back quickly, Rui Jue and I are waiting for you at home."

Lowering his head, Mu Chen planted a light kiss on Cen Le's forehead, his tone was light but firm, "I will be back soon."

Cen Le nodded lightly in his arms.

Mu Chen kissed Cen Le's forehead again, and then continued down, kissing the cheek and the tip of the nose, and finally landed on Cen Le's lips.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cen Le raised her head, leaning against Mu Chen's arms, and kissed Mu Chen.

Qin Ming and Song Yunxiu originally saw Mu Chen came back, so they hugged Rui Jue and wanted to go back to the house to say goodbye to him and Cen Le.

But after seeing this scene from a distance, the two looked at each other, and left with Rui Jue whose eyes were covered.
