Ruthless debt

At this time, the severe winter has passed and it is the time when everything is recovering. In addition, the weather is clear every day, and the sky is full of stars at night.The two of them slept enough because of their afternoon nap, so they didn't feel much sleepy until now, and after tossing and turning for a while, they took each other out of the house to watch the stars.I don't know how long I've been sitting in the courtyard, and when the night was getting colder, I was planning to go back to the house, when I heard a noise, the two of them looked around...

I don't know how Mu Ziduan managed to avoid the guards in the palace, but he climbed over the wall and came in. Seeing that both of them were there, he hurriedly let out a 'shh'.

Prince Che got up and walked towards him, and only when he got closer did he see who was coming. It seemed that Mu Ziduan had never been here before, and he didn't know why he suddenly came here today.He only knew that he had never had anything to do with this person, and seeing him sneaking around today, and he didn't know who he was hiding from, Prince Che was curious for a while, and asked, "Master Mu is visiting late at night, is there something to do?"

Mu Ziduan said: "It's true that there is something going on. Could it be convenient for you to talk about it in the room, so that I can talk about it slowly."

Prince Che glanced at Zuo Qi, saw him nod his head, and said: "Okay."

The three of them entered the house one after another, Zuo Qi walked in the last, and closed the door casually.After they all sat down, Mu Ziduan got up again, cupped his hands and said to Prince Che: "I will tell you, Your Highness, I have something to tell you when I come here today. If Your Highness trusts me, it is not in vain for me to come to see you on the charge of deceiving the emperor." you."

Prince Che stood up and helped him up: "Master Mu, it doesn't matter if you speak directly."

Mu Ziduan sighed softly, thought for a moment before saying: "Your Highness, do you know why His Majesty sent back the former proton in such a hurry and exchanged His Highness for Shuo Kingdom?"

"The succession of the new kings in the past is supposed to replace the hostesses. Why does Lord Mu ask this question?"

Mu Ziduan replied anxiously: "Your Highness only knows one thing but not the other. Your Majesty has already secretly formed an alliance with the Nine Princes of the Qu Country, intending to annex the countries in the southern part of the Monument. I think there are only two princes in the Qu Country, and the prince is still young. Now Your Highness has come to Shuo Kingdom again, do you know what this means?"

"Your Majesty has always hated killing and would definitely not agree to him doing this, so..." Zuo Qi was stunned and said in a broken voice, "Master Mu means that the Ninth Prince intends to rebel?"

Mu Ziduan nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. If something happens to the current head of the country, the throne will undoubtedly be passed on to the prince. However, the prince is only four years old, so he must be assisted. Of the eight princes in the country, only the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Prince are left, and everyone knows that the Seventh Prince is stupid, and no one will think of him, as the saying goes, the Ninth Prince will be in power at that time, and the country cannot help but be manipulated by him."

Now the prince Che is also anxious: "No wind, no waves, there must be a reason for Mr. Mu's words. Is my father still safe now? What is Nine Emperor Uncle's plan? Now that I am in prison, no matter how anxious I am, I can't help it." Return to the country quickly, if you want my father to send me a letter of credence to call me back, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, but according to Master Mu's intention, I can't wait."

Mu Ziduan comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm here today to save you from this miserable place. A few days ago, the spies of the Qu Kingdom sent me a letter saying that the lord of the country is ill and has not been in court for half a month. If you rush over now, maybe there is still room for salvation."

Zuo Qi said: "How are you going to save us? The palace is heavily guarded, and with the shackles under my feet, I can hear the sound when I move, how can I escape?"

"I'm coming here today, so I've already made a plan." After Mu Ziduan said that, he drew a short dagger from his sleeve. As soon as the knife was unsheathed, a cold light appeared. Holding the dagger, he said proudly: "This dagger was passed down from my ancestors. It is said that it is made of a rare metal. It can cut anything, including the iron fetters on your feet. It's just that someone with some skills needs to do it. Do it, I don't have the strength to restrain the chicken, and I may hurt Mr. Zuo." After saying that, he handed the dagger to Zuo Qi.

Zuo Qi took the dagger, looked at it half-believingly for a while, and saw that its material was indeed different from others, so he raised the chain and swung the knife down, only to hear a crisp sound of 'clang', and the chain snapped.Zuo Qi was overjoyed, he raised his foot and put the dagger in the shackles, the shackles snapped with a little force.

After his feet were freed, he took a few steps on the spot, overjoyed, but after a while he calmed down, looked at Mu Ziduan with a serious expression, and said coldly: "Zuo Qi is unclear about something. "

"It's okay to say it straight."

"Since you are a subject of Shuo Kingdom and should be facing Shuo Kingdom, why do you still help us deal with Mu Xuanqing today?"

Mu Ziduan smiled flatly: "Young Master Zuo has doubts, and it is reasonable. Although I am not a hero, I also know the righteousness. I think that I am in the same line as His Majesty, and we are blood relatives, but... I can't bear it." Seeing that the people of the world are being slaughtered in vain, and if His Majesty finds out about it in the future, there is no more than one life, how can I compare the next person with the common people in the world, which is more important?"

Prince Che cupped his hands and sighed: "Lord Mu's righteousness today is not limited to the two of us, so don't underestimate yourself."

Mu Ziduan also bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness will return to the country this time. It will be extremely difficult and dangerous. I only regret that I can't do my best to escort them all the way. If I can leave the palace safely tomorrow, I will arrange people to go with His Highness."

The prince Che worshiped him: "Master Mu's kindness of saving, Qian Che is very grateful. He will live up to his expectations when he returns to the country, and he will definitely prevent the conspiracy of Mu Xuanqing and my uncle Ninth King from succeeding."
