Fostering apprentices

Yan Nan sighed helplessly, his expression was very conflicted, he finished the last bit of porridge in the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "That's fine, since Emperor Dongyue has no room for negotiation, then I will continue Pretending to be amnesiac.”

It means that you went back to your mother's house without discussing with me.

Mu Chu naturally disagreed, after finally forcing Yan Nan out, it would definitely not work to let him go so easily, he saw how his little master refused to let go, and finally lowered his head consciously.

She stretched her arms around his waist and hugged him in her arms. While he was not paying attention, she secretly kissed him, and said contentedly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince can do whatever you want, even if you want me to marry you, it's perfectly fine."

The tips of Yan Nan's ears turned red instantly, and when he lowered his head, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but soon, this strange streamer was replaced by others, and he stood up from his apprentice's arms, as if he heard something, covering his eyes Mu Chu's mouth, whispered: "Someone is coming."

"who?"

"Many, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the identity is unclear." If the other party is from Jiangbei, Su Ning will definitely come to report, and since I haven't seen her for so long and can't hear her voice, it is most likely Fu People from Hunan.

Oh, it's really fast.

A bit of coldness flashed in Yan Nan's eyes, and he took out two long swords from under the bed, which were the swords of the two of them. Mu Chu looked at him, worried about his injuries: "Your injuries can't be used for fighting."

"I know." But this time Fuxiang must have prepared for bringing people here, if they insist on not bringing people over from Jiangbei, they may be close to death.Yan Nan clenched the soft sword in his hand, nodded towards Mu Chu, and the two stood behind the door, and they would attack as soon as people from outside rushed in.

But after waiting for a long time, there was only the sound of noisy weapons outside the door, it seemed that someone was coming, and the two sides fought for a while before there was no movement.Yan Nan slowly opened the door, grabbed his ankle with one hand, and slashed towards that hand with the soft sword in his hand, blood staining his clothes.

The guests downstairs had already disappeared, and there were several murdered women lying among the corpses. The corpses were piled on top of each other, and a bloody smell filled the nostrils.When Yan Nan walked to the stairs, he happened to meet Jiang Bei who was also holding a long sword, and there was a man behind him.

It's Yan Zheng.

Yan Nan looked at the two, and a series of things appeared in his mind, disturbing his thoughts. He clasped his hands tightly and restrained his mind, and asked, "Where are Fu Xiang and Li Xiang?"

"I grabbed Su Ning and ran away. I shouldn't have run far. I have already sent someone to chase him down." Jiang Bei replied. He looked at the blue marks on Yan Nan's neck and felt familiar, so he pointed and asked, "Are you injured?" gone?"

Yan Nan was taken aback, and immediately covered the marks on his neck, and pulled the skirt to cover it: "No, you go out first, and send some people here to clean it up, after all, this is Dongyue's territory."

Jiang Bei wanted to continue asking, but he always felt that this mark was very familiar, but was stopped by Yan Zheng beside him, and he turned around and asked, "Why, have you seen this mark?"

Yan Zheng looked at his face with strong curiosity, and couldn't help but feel a headache for his curiosity: "Are you really stupid or fake?"

"Explain, explain?" Apparently Jiang Da Shizi still didn't fully understand, Yan Zheng took him to the dark corner of the stairs, kissed him hard on the neck, then pointed to the mark on it and said: "You Have you seen it?"

Jiang Bei's face turned red, he stared at the person leaving over there, and asked in surprise, "You said...Mu Chu is inside?" In this world, except for Mu Chu, Yan Nan would never let other men Get close to him, let alone a woman.

If he hadn't received the secret report from Tianxialou, he wouldn't have rushed over from Xiqi overnight with people. Fortunately, the news came in time to break Fuxiang's plan at a critical juncture, but if he knew that Yan Nan was following Mu Chu, he would definitely I will let Fuxiang be proud for a while, and come back after seeking power and usurping the throne.

Surprise followed by anger. After all, Jiang Bei was an insider. He and Yan Zheng knew exactly what Mu Chu had done: "How dare he stay with Anan?"

Yan Zheng reached out and rubbed Jiang Bei's hair, and said dotingly, "We can't interfere in this matter, Anan has his own measure."

"Could it be that the prince still pretends not to know and doesn't know?" Jiang Bei said coldly.

"Maybe, after all, he is also your cousin, your aunt's son." This is what they are worried about and entangled with. They should stand by Yan Nan's side both emotionally and rationally, but Mu Chu's status is special. According to Shan Taoist's description, he seems to have split into two consciousnesses.

Changyue is the name of another level of consciousness, and it is also the boudoir name of Jiangbei's aunt, the only eldest princess of Xichu. With this relationship, not only Jiangbei, but also him is difficult to sell: "Anan will have his own plan , you and I don’t need to get involved and add unnecessary troubles to Anand.”

Jiang Bei stared at the room Yan Nan entered, moved his lips, but finally said nothing, he waved to the guards below, and followed Yan Zheng downstairs.

Not long after that, Yan Nan also went downstairs, followed by Mu Chu, who was also dressed in white, and it was not uncommon for them to stand together. Jiang Bei still had no good looks, so he went outside to stay with a group of subordinates.

Yan Zheng smiled helplessly, and didn't say much. It's the limit for the impatient Jiangbei to do what he is doing now. Besides, this is his own daughter-in-law, so he still deserves to be pampered.

He nodded towards Mu Chu, which meant to say hello: "Emperor Dongyue, you are safe here." The two of them had almost never met each other, but he had met Changyue and learned the other's tricks.

"Yan Zheng, you should have heard of this name before." Yan Nan explained.

He had indeed heard it before, and was very familiar with it. Mu Chu was a little stunned, but soon he returned to normal, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yan."

Yan Zheng smiled, took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Yan Nan, saying: "The medicine from Yaoxian Valley, the people inside said you The medicine used is almost used up, so I simply asked me to bring some over."

Yan Nan took the medicine bottle, said thank you, and then heard Yan Zheng say: "Originally, Xiaobei and I went to the border of Dayan to pick you up, but just as we left, news came from behind. Fuxiang has planned for a long time, Even involving Dayan this time, it should be due to preparations, or someone behind to support him."

"He robbed Yunqing." Mu Chu had a sullen face. Ruochen had already told him about this matter before Fuxiang plotted against him, but at the beginning he was worried that Anan's memory had not recovered, so he concealed it: "Li Xiang has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, including his own soldiers, the total is [-]."

"It depends on what Dongyue Emperor himself does." Yan Zheng's words did not mean to help. As His Royal Highness Crown Prince of Yan, there are naturally many things that need to be dealt with by him in the court, does Emperor Dongyue think what I said is right?"

Mu Chu looked at his appearance, his eyes darkened slightly, and his aura gradually became fierce. Both of them were kings, and no one lost to the other in aura. They looked at each other as if they were experiencing thousands of troops. The temperature around me felt like it dropped by one degree.

Yan Nan coughed a few times, interrupting the silent gunpowder between the two: "Go on, I'll go find Jiangbei."

"No need, Xiaobei and I have to deal with some things, but Dayan's side is a bit uneasy, if you are worried about it, go back and have a look." Yan Zheng said softly.

"I see, thank you."

For Dayan, he has too many emotions in his heart. Although Yicheng is his biological father, who took care of him meticulously during the period of his injury and amnesia, Nanling is the place where he was born and raised, and there are still some things that cannot be let go due to emotion and reason. .Now he is burdened with too many things, and the power of the throne is no longer important. It is the greatest gift from heaven that he can live.

After Jiang Bei and Yan Zheng were sent away, there was news that the army was approaching from outside the city. Looking at the news in the letter, Yan Nan realized that Fu Xiang and Li Xiang gathered [-] troops and rushed towards Yun City.

"What do you think?"

Mu Chu lowered his head, still holding the letter he had just read in his hand, he smiled, as if he didn't care about it: "At the end of the battle, it's just a dying struggle."

He stretched out his hand and threw it into the brazier, and said: "Even if we gather all the troops in Yuncheng now, there are only more than 1 people, and it will take at least three days for Ruochen and the others to arrive here. It only takes half a day to break through Yuncheng."

"Indeed, [-] men and horses are like a mantis' arm and a cart." Yan Nan replied, looking at the topographic map of Yuncheng beside him, surrounded by high mountains.The terrain is steep, if they fight outside the city, they may be trapped in the mountains and run out of ammunition and food. If they are inside the city, it is absolutely impossible to last for three days according to the current strength.

"What can you do?" he asked.

Mu Chu didn't speak, and his eyes still fell on the map, apparently he hadn't thought of a solution yet.Ten thousand against eighty thousand is indeed a difficult battle. Yuncheng is low-lying, with many basins and valleys. There are three or four valleys, large and small, on the way to the city. It's hard to defend.

Wait, easy to defend but hard to attack?He seemed to remember something, picked up a piece of paper and drew the general direction of the valley and several exits.

Said: "According to Fuxiang's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to send all the more than 8 soldiers. At the beginning, there may be some people who explore the way. He will think that we will not give up these wayfinders because Sesame lost the watermelon. We simply will Find someone to ambush around this valley, and kill their prestige first."

Yan Nan glanced at his deployment, and agreed with him: "This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You want to trap them here so that others can't get in, but don't let him get out?"

"That's right, a small number of archers are sent here to prepare and put wild beasts in the valley in advance. Do you remember what happened to Mu Yun in Mobei?"
