Fostering apprentices

As soon as the screen turned, the scene in front of me changed a lot. The oldest peach blossom tree in the courtyard was no longer there. What stood in front of me was a young seedling, which seemed to have just been planted, and the branches of the tree were a little yellowed.

Mu Chu took the water bottle and poured water on the roots of the saplings, then got up and sat on the stone chair.

"Your Highness, today I saw a man who looks very good-looking." Ruochen turned over from the outer wall with a large stack of books in his arms. Without paying attention, he stepped on the hem of his clothes and fell on the ground with a plop On the ground, all the books in his arms were scattered everywhere.

"I met someone who made you so excited." Mu Chu bent down to help Ruochen up, and accompanied him to pick up the books on the floor. Suddenly he saw a few particularly eye-catching titles. It's not a good book to read: "If you want to buy some books outside the palace, what did you buy?"

He picked up a book called "The Romance of the West Chamber", opened it, and found that there were no words in it, but various pictures, or those unsightly pictures. Yan Nan took the book and smashed it on Ruochen. On the head: "I said, you are only 12 years old, how did you learn to buy this stuff?"

"Your Highness, it's not me. It was recommended by the store. I didn't even look at what it was. I thought you liked it so I bought it together."

Yan Nan: "Do you think this hall would like this kind of erotic pictures?" He shook his head helplessly, why did he think that Ruochen was smarter when he was young, but he is so stupid when he grows up.

"Let you look at the beauty, and look at yourself as stupid."

Ruochen then remembered the beauty he saw, and his mood immediately improved, and he didn't even feel pain from being hit by his Highness on the head: "Your Highness, I have been in the palace for so many years and I have never seen such a beautiful person. , but judging by his clothes, he should be from Nanling."

"Nanling?" Mu Chu raised his brows, and a few traces of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't ask about the recent situation of his father, he heard some rumors anyway.

The national conditions of Dongyue and Nanling are also very tense recently. I heard from my mother that the two countries may go to war at any time. So are the people from Nanling here to show friendship or something?

"Then, is that person you saw an envoy or an ordinary citizen?"

Ruochen thought about it, but he just took a few more glances from a distance, and didn't get a general idea: "I don't know, it shouldn't be an envoy, if it is an envoy, the emperor will definitely throw a banquet to welcome him, but it is hard to see. Unlike ordinary people, the guqin on his back is priceless."

"Is it a musician? No, there is a general standing behind him, and the emperor received him in secret, and there are not many ministers and palace people around."

Mu Chu had never heard of this person before, but the situation was tense now, if the people from Nanling used the mouth of the envoy to find out the truth, it would be troublesome.

At night, Mu Chu had already washed up and was ready to rest. The door of the bedroom was slowly pushed open. He hurried to the bed and fell asleep. Walked in outside.

"have you slept?"

It was the voice of the queen mother.

Mu Qin nodded, but still made a silent gesture: "Ah Chu is a light sleeper, let's go to the side hall to sleep tonight." The government affairs are also entangled at night, and they returned to the bedroom after dealing with the affairs of the day. Holding his wife's hand, he walked towards the side hall.

Nan Changyue rubbed her neck with pantothenic acid, moved back and forth a few times, only heard a crisp sound of her neck clicking, she was relieved: "It seems that Nanling intends to start a war, and only one Yan family If not, I’m afraid it won’t be able to stop this war from happening.”

"The things that should come have to come sooner or later." Mu Qin poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her. The fragrant Biluochun was his wife's favorite. He stood behind her, stretched out his hand and pinched her shoulders, Extremely skillful.

His eyes dimmed: "I'm afraid that the [-] elite soldiers in the fourth place are not enough to fight against Nanling."

"How can it be that the fourth child is also someone who follows you, at least he has learned a little." If a hundred thousand elite soldiers can't stop the Nanling army, then this Dongyue is really hopeless.

Those are one hundred thousand elite soldiers, not a few small soldiers.

"Do you still remember what the national teacher said about the two Ziwei Emperor Stars? Today I saw that young man, he definitely does not appear to be soft and weak on the surface." Mu Qin said.

"Don't you believe that charlatan's words?" Nan Changyue's eyes were a little more worried. When Ah Chu was born, that old charlatan predicted the two emperor stars. She didn't believe it, but now it seems that Things really went as the old crook said.

So Dongyue is doomed this time.

"Ah Yue, where do you think Yancheng's child will go? That child shocked the kings of several countries at the state banquet a few days ago. If the Yan family takes action, Dongyue will surely lose."

Then Dongyue will definitely be in dire straits at that time, and he may not even be able to protect his own children.

Changyue shook her head, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "No matter what you do, I will support you, at worst, we will die together in the end, and we will be husband and wife again in the next life."

"I don't want you to say that." An excited voice came from the entrance of the side hall. Mu Chu had been eavesdropping here for a long time, and when he finally heard something dead, he couldn't help but rushed in directly.

Nan Changyue was taken aback, looking at the little Ah Chu who suddenly barged in, she couldn't find anything to say for a while, as the mother of a country, she was ready to be the queen, but as a mother, she I didn't take good care of my son.

She really doesn't deserve to be a mother.

Mu Chu plunged into the arms of the queen mother, and said: "This war has not yet started, my son will not allow the empress father and queen mother to say such frustrating words, just in case, what if the young masters of the Yan family don't go to battle."

"What if we win in the end."

Mu Qin looked down at his wife, knelt down and rubbed Mu Chu's hair, his eyes were full of tenderness: "Ah Chu is right, what if we win in the end."

He nodded desperately, Nan Changyue's eyes flashed a few strange eyes, he lowered his eyes and smiled at him, and said, "Yes, what if we win in the end." If you don't make beauty, then going against the sky is also a way of heaven.

In fact, Mu Chu really overestimated his own thoughts. He spent a birthday in the military camp. This year he was 14 years old. Life in the military camp is naturally a thousand times harder than the palace. Yue really changed his life against the sky as his mother said, and almost won a complete victory in the battle against Nanling. Just when it was about to end, the person who should not have appeared appeared.

Uncle Huang's [-] elite soldiers were all murdered, Dongyue's army suffered heavy losses, and even his father was injured.

They said that Dongyue was exhausted, yes, it was exhausted.

The picture changed again, he was hidden in the secret passage, nothing could be seen in the dark secret passage, Ruochen disappeared, father, queen and queen also disappeared, and when he woke up, he disappeared.

The sound of rats, snakes and insects came from the side. He was born afraid of these things, but he couldn't move at the moment.

I don't know how long it has been, but Mu Chu's eyelids no longer have the strength to open, and his whole body doesn't even have a chance to squirm.

Is it going to die?

When he woke up again, he didn't know how many days it had been. He seemed to be a little repulsed by the sunlight from the outside world. He covered his eyes as soon as he woke up, not quite adapting to the current situation.

"Your Highness, how are you doing, Your Highness?"

It was Ruochen's voice.

Mu Chu slowly opened his eyes, black pupils flickered with cold light, the first thing he saw was Ruochen, he jumped up from the bed, and asked directly: "Where is the father, the queen?"

Ruochen was stunned, and his expression was a little strange.

"How about them, are they okay?" He grabbed Ruochen's shoulder and asked again.

Slowly lowering his head, not daring to look into Mu Chu's eyes, he faltered and said: "The emperor, they...they..."

"I ask you where they are?" A bad premonition grew in his heart, just like those days in the secret passage, he felt a sense of despair that he had never felt before, and Mu Chu picked up Ruochen's lapel with one hand , and shouted at him: "Say it, tell me where the empress is?"

"Where did they go?"

Ruochen gritted his teeth and turned his head: "The emperor and empress have... died for the country."

With a "bang", only the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Mu Chu directly slumped on the ground, his ragged appearance was not at all as elegant as the prince before.Now his mind is full of that sentence of martyrdom, how could he be martyrdom? Didn’t he already submit the letter of surrender, how could he be martyrdom.

"How is it possible? Didn't Nanling promise that we would not hurt anyone? Didn't he say that as long as we surrender, nothing will happen?" He stared at the front with red eyes full of disbelief, and kept saying that it was impossible. .

"Your Highness, the Emperor and Empress died for your safety. You must cheer up and get back what belongs to you."

Mu Chu's eyes are dull, and he can't listen to anyone's words at the moment. He tightly holds the bright red hairband in his hand, which was tied around his wrist by the queen mother, which means peace.

Now, both his parents died for his country, his country was ruined and his family was destroyed, and he couldn't return home, so where is the peace?

Suddenly, he laughed out loud, tears streaming from his eye sockets, he stood up unsteadily from the ground, his smiling appearance was uglier than crying.

Ruochen looked at him worriedly: "Your Highness..."

Mu Chu: "Go out."

"Your Highness." He definitely couldn't leave His Highness alone now, if he couldn't think of doing something stupid, then everything would be over.

Mu Chu glanced at him, without any expression on his face, with cold eyes: "Go out."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude." Ruochen reached out and touched the acupuncture points on his body, Mu Chu couldn't move for a moment, and could only roll his eyes and glared at Ruochen.

He warned sharply: "I order you to untie the acupuncture points and let me go."

Ruochen acted as if he didn't hear him, carried him onto the bed, and gently covered him with the quilt.
