Ruthless debt

The team escorting the proton was thousands of miles away. I don't know what Mu Ziduan was thinking. He held up the Shuo national flag tent all the way and swaggered through the market, as if he was not afraid of someone coming to assassinate him.Whether it is the lords of the countries or the city lords of the cities, when they saw this flag and flags, they all served them with courtesy, without saying a word, they immediately opened the city gates and let people enter the city.

Passing through several small marginal countries along the way, no matter where the team goes, they only need to show the official document written by the country's leader himself, and all the leaders will treat the guests with respect, fearing that the slightest negligence will lead to troubles from Qushuo and Qushuo countries.Some even wanted to take the opportunity to win them over, not only offering valuable gold, silver and jade, but also offering their own daughters... Unexpectedly, Prince Che refused to accept them all, forcing him not to stay any longer, so he had to hurry on his way.

It took Mu Ziduan one and a half months to go, and one and a half months to come.This time and again, it’s spring to summer solstice, and it’s midsummer in Qu country, and it’s time to change into thin summer clothes, but the clothes on Prince Che’s body are getting thicker and thicker. It was completely white everywhere, and the heavy snow like goose feathers was still falling.

Qu people who came from afar have rarely seen such a scene, even if they have seen snow, they may not have seen such a magnificent snowfall.Mu Ziduan had already said before that Shuo Kingdom and Qu Kingdom are separated by a sky, and one is in the south and the other is in the north. Naturally, the climate is different.In Shuokuo, half of the time in a year is winter, and the rest of the time may not be so warm. Here, there are no four seasons.

The team finally arrived at Weiling, the capital of the Shuo Kingdom, and stopped at the same spot, looking at the three-foot-high capital standing amidst the white snow, which looked magnificent, and this tower was actually higher than the city wall of Luohe City up some.Everyone thought to themselves, it is an indisputable fact that the two countries are at the same level, no wonder the powerful leader of the Qu country fears them and sends his most beloved eldest son as a hostage to another country. Yu Shuokuo.

Wrapped in a thick fur coat, it always seemed a little cumbersome. Prince Che sat quietly in the carriage with a dazed expression.He looked at the word 'Weiling' on the top of the tower, feeling mixed feelings in his heart, what the inside of the city looks like, what it will be like in the future, and how long he will stay here, all of this is unknown.His hometown is thousands of miles away from here, and it is already far away from each other. When he left Luohe City two months ago, he always felt that there was an invisible rope pulling him under his feet. At this time, his feet seemed to be filled with lead.

What he could not have imagined was more than this. In this icy city that made people tremble just by looking at it, within this three-foot-high city wall, Prince Che spent the most desperate four years in his life.During these four years, full of cold and hunger, humiliation and pain, he watched those who had been with him since childhood leave him one by one, but he was powerless to stop them.Seeing them being tortured in front of me, I couldn't even shed a single tear.

And these are all things for later.

The Lord of Shuo Kingdom did not go out of the city to greet him, but only sent someone to tell Mu Ziduan that he would only bring the hostage into the palace, while the rest of the accompanying people were temporarily placed in a house outside the palace.

Zuo Qi insisted on following but was still stopped. Prince Che said to him: "It's a newcomer, you must be polite, you go with them first, and I will go to you as soon as the king has summoned you. Don't worry, what do you say to me?" He is also the eldest son of the emperor of Qu country, even if he intends to make things difficult, he will not do anything to me."

Zuo Qi just gave up and followed the crowd anxiously.

As early as when he was in Qu country, he heard Mu Sichen mention this king, saying that if he looked at the whole Shuo country, he might not be able to find a man who was more handsome than his father.The prince Che looked at the young king from a distance of more than ten feet. Mu Xuanqing was much younger than he imagined, at most he was only 25 or [-] years old.His face was sharp and tough, his eyes were as sharp as a bird of prey, and under the high wings of his nose were a pair of pale lips. In addition to his overly fair complexion, he looked a little cold.

Prince Che knelt on his knees and said, "Prince Qian Che of Qu Country, I have seen His Majesty."

Mu Xuanqing raised his eyes slightly, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Excellency has come from afar. I should have greeted you personally, but I can't get away from all the trifles in my hands. Will you blame me for being rude?"

This place is the inner hall where he usually handles official affairs, except for Mu Ziduan who brought him here, there are only two maids and a father-in-law left in the hall.

"Qian Che dare not." The prince Che was still kneeling, and he sneered in his heart: He didn't let himself get up for a long time, this person clearly wanted to give himself a majesty, and he couldn't get away?He can still say such a high-sounding excuse, as if he was a three-year-old child!

Of course Mu Xuanqing could hear the resentment in his words, a little playful: "Oh... what if I tell you to dare?"

"..." Prince Che didn't answer, but just looked straight at him.

After all, the prince Che was a young man at heart, and he was used to being pampered and pampered when he was in Qu Country, so it was impossible for him not to care about being wronged at this time.Mu Xuanqing's intention to make things difficult couldn't be more clear, if he has been suffering, it won't be like Prince Che.

Mu Xuanqing laughed out loud, but his eyes were still cold.This laughter made Prince Che shudder, he couldn't guess what this person was thinking at all.

"Forget it, the days to come are still very long, I will let you go today first." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the father-in-law beside him: "I remember that Concubine Qi hanged herself for a long time. Is it still available?"

Gong Gong said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it's still empty! But I still remember that a few days ago, Your Majesty asked Concubine An to move to Lanyang Palace. She didn't want to go there until she said it was haunted by ghosts. It's empty before it's too late. It's been three or four months."

Mu Xuanqing looked at Prince Che again: "I'm ashamed, I don't think there is any extra courtyard in this palace, can I wrong Aiqing for a while, and then arrange it when I have a better place to go?"

The prince Che thought to himself, this Mu Xuanqing would humiliate others and arrange himself in the harem, or the residence of a concubine who had just passed away. He didn't believe that there was no spare courtyard in this huge palace.But since he did it on purpose, what can he do to him, since he stepped into this high wall, he knew that he couldn't help himself, Mu Xuanqing was a knife and he was a fish, so he could only let it be slaughtered.

"Your Majesty's arrangement is that it's the same wherever Qian Che lives, but... the 63 attendants who came with me, are they with me?"

Mu Xuanqing said: "Of course we can't bring all of them into the palace. After all, Lanyang Palace is not big, and there is no shortage of servants in the palace who can serve you. Just keep a few of them to make things easier for you. I will take care of the rest. It will be properly arranged, when you return to his country, I will return him to you."

He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was able to keep Zuo Qi and the others by his side, Prince Che said: "Your Majesty has a kind intention, Qian Che will certainly follow through."

Mu Xuanqing allowed him to choose six people, except Jin'er, Zuo Qi and Liu Pin, the rest of the candidates were decided by Jin'er.After Prince Che informed Mu Ziduan of his thoughts, he followed his father-in-law to Lanyang Palace.
