There are many failures in the country

After that day, Shen Ling never saw Yue Xingfeng again, nor did he hear a single human voice.

He firmly believed that Yue Xingfeng would not give up just like this, but what was the silence for half a month?Where did Hua Dongqing's fragrant butterfly go?Could it be that what he said to Mu Yuan that day was just a simple threat?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Looking at the broken leg, Shen Ling felt helpless, and seeing that the Yingmei accompanying him this time were not ordinary people, he secretly thought that even if Yue Xingfeng came to rescue him deliberately, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

As the days passed, Shen Ling finally followed Mu Yuan all the way south.

Unconsciously, bypassing Yanshui, and waking up again, it seems to have entered the territory of South Vietnam.

At the beginning, Shen Ling only thought that the towns he passed through were dressed in strange clothes due to the style of the old South Vietnam, and there were familiar totems embroidered on the corners of his clothes.Later, when she saw Mu Yuan's sacrificial robes one day, Shen Ling was sure that the people were wearing Nanyue clothes.

However, as early as the beginning of Da Chong's destruction of Nanyue, the Le family intended to assimilate all ethnic groups in Nanyue, so for more than ten years now, Nanyue should have more or less Da Chong style.Unfortunately, no, not at all.

Maybe it's because Le's is grateful for the old days of the Nanyue people, so he let it go?

Shen Ling couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that the emperor was not so magnanimous, nor would he tolerate the Nanyue people's clothes with the seal of the year.

Along the way, the people respected Mu Yuan and his party, and Shen Ling was even more suspicious when they saw it.

Before crossing Yanshui, Mu Yuan was very low-key, and even disguised himself with Yingmei. After all, they belong to the rebellious party in Dachong territory, and they can be arrested and killed at any time.However, when they passed Yanshui, everything became different.

The low-key Mu Yuan changed back to the navy blue sacrificial robe that symbolized the status of an elder, and Ying Mei also changed into her regular clothes. A caravan swaggered on the street, but the common people gave way.

Sensing this, Shen Ling had an unbelievable thought, and when he thought about it deeply, he shuddered.

Shen Ling secretly pays attention to the surrounding things, even if he is confined to the car, he still checks out the window from time to time.Finally, he found doubts and confirmed what he thought.

That is the armor worn by the city guards when passing through the city gate.

Obviously, the clothes worn by the soldiers definitely belonged to the generals of Da Chong. Shen Ling occasionally went to the barracks with Shen Yi, and he clearly understood some of the uniforms.In the past, he often read books in Shen Yi's study room, and he also clearly understood that the military uniforms worn by the soldiers in front of him belonged to South Vietnam.

It is absolutely impossible for Da Chong to entrust the duties of city guards to the Nanyue people, and even if he did, he would not allow them to wear the clothes of the old dynasty.

Therefore, they are not loyal to Da Chong, they are soldiers of South Vietnam.

Shen Ling held her heart silently, trying to slow down her heartbeat, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything.

The current fact is that some towns in the south have indeed returned to the hands of South Vietnam. As for the method they used, there is no need to think about it.

The frightening thing is that Da Chong's ruling and opposition parties know nothing about this matter!

As the Duke of Zhao, Shen Ke never mentioned the slightest rumor, and Shen Yi never said that there was no sign of trouble, and Mu Yuan was too tight.However, the imperial court will send officials to replace them in three to five years, and at the same time introduce old officials to promote them. If Mu Yuan and his group have already controlled these places, then the Dachong officials may be...

Shen Ling shuddered, and immediately remembered that the officials who returned from South Vietnam were not in good health.

Looking at it now, this "not so good" is indeed very bad, and I don't know how they were controlled by others, so that they didn't say a word after returning to the capital.

For Mu Yuan's relentless pursuit of Yue Xingfeng, Shen Ling suddenly realized.

The matter in South Vietnam was not a mess at all, but Mu Yuan had arranged a game of chess, and wanted Yue Xingfeng to come back and win step by step.The reason why Mu Yuan did this was because he was just an elder, while Yue Xingfeng had the blood of the royal family and could respond to everything.

As if the blood had solidified in his body, Shen Ling froze there in a daze, clenched his fists involuntarily.

Entering the city today, the speed of the convoy seems to have slowed down a lot.Shen Ling's leg injury was mostly healed, so he stepped out of the car and asked people.

Unexpectedly, when he poked his head out, he froze.What's happening here!

The people in the city knelt down in a large group, and they knelt on both sides of the street.According to Shen Ling's memory, this kind of thing usually happened when the emperor went on tour, or when the soldiers made a triumphant return, but now... Who are they welcoming?Mu Yuan?

Shen Ling couldn't help thinking about what he said to Mu Yuan that day, whether he wanted to restore the country, or whether he wanted to help the Yue clan restore the country... puzzled.

Mu Yuan accepted everyone's kneeling and worshiping, a sly smile flashed across his face, and he became calm in an instant.

Shen Ling walked back to the car silently, as if she didn't see anything.

The carriage stopped suddenly, Shen Ling lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside... stunned.

This is... a palace?Yes.If you guessed right, this is the Nanyue Palace, the Nanyue Palace that was burned down in the past.

They are really rich.Shen Ling sighed like this.

Passing through the palace gate, the totems of the royal family engraved on the blue walls on both sides made Shen Ling involuntarily hold the ring on his chest.

These are all Mu Yuan's masterpieces?Occupying the town secretly, deploying the South Vietnamese army, and rebuilding the Nanyue Suzaku Palace... Recalling a certain sentence Yue Xingfeng said, you really can't underestimate him.

The carriage went round and round in the palace, and finally stopped in front of an octagonal pavilion.

Shen Ling leaned out and saw a quaint wooden plaque hanging on the pavilion, on which was a slender seal script: Shizhi Pavilion.

Ten know?What do you know?Know people, face but not heart?What else?

Just as he was thinking happily, Mu Yuan, who was holding a long staff with a tiger's head and a golden hook, was already in front of him: "Come down, follow me into the cabinet."

Although he didn't know what this place was, the moment Shen Ling entered, he felt that the place was very dark, and the goosebumps all over his body were being picked up, and the hairs in his heart were scratched all the time.

On both sides of the not-so-bright aisle, there were quite a few men in black lined up. Shen Ling judged from the whites of their eyes that they were Yingmei.

Although the clothes of Ying Mei here are the same as the ones she has seen before, her eyes and imposing manner are a hundred times better than those ones.So, the ones that Mu Yuan brought out were all rubbish, and the ones who stayed behind in South Vietnam were the elite?Although it's not like putting the cart before the horse, but is there such a huge gap in strength to confuse outsiders, or is there another consideration?

After staring at a Yanbai brother for a while, the Yanbai brother immediately stared back. The aura made Shen Ling want to take two steps back.

"Go faster." Mu Yuan urged from the front, and the door behind him was slowly closed.

"Oh." Shen Ling's leg injury has just healed, but it's not too bad, she still feels powerless, and she still walks with a limp.

"Come in." Mu Yuan waved his staff.

I don't know where he pressed it, but the leaf-patterned wooden door in front opened automatically, and the inside was brightly lit with fire, and the dark green color gave people a sense of oppression, and the furnishings like an altar made people feel like they were in another world.

Shen Ling's mind buzzed, and she suddenly remembered that she had just walked for quite a while, but before entering the pavilion, from the outside, the width of the pavilion was only four or five feet, so what happened to the long distance traveled just now?Is it an illusion?

Before he could think about it, Shen Ling followed Mu Yuan into it, and in front of him were nine old men. Their clothes were all similar to Mu Yuan's, that is to say, they were also the elders of Nanyue.

Nine people, including Mu Yuan, made a total of ten people.The so-called "ten knowledge" refers to them.

Scanning the faces of those nine people, Shen Ling suddenly felt that Mu Yuan was really an amiable old man. The nine old men in front of him all looked like they were trying to recover their debts.

"That's him?" The old man standing in the center spoke, his hair and beard were all white, he should be the oldest among them.

"Yes, he is Shen Ling, and the young master will definitely come for him." The mighty Mu Yuan respectfully respected this person.

The old man said disdainfully: "It's really a shame for Nanyue, it's actually a man. If so, what's the use of waiting for the young master to return in the future, Nanyue only has one line left, I'm afraid there will be no successors."

Shen Ling wanted to feel sleepy when he heard it, but he thought Yue Xingfeng liked men in the first place, could it be that you still want to straighten him?Be careful not to break it straight, break it first.

It is said that Nanyue has no successors, so Shen Ling can only "hehe", judging by the posture of these ten people, I am afraid that even if there is no Yue Xingfeng, they can make Nanyue flourish.They were obsessed with Yue Xingfeng, maybe the ten people felt that the competition for the position was troublesome and hurtful, so they let Yue Xingfeng come back and sit down, so as to have an explanation to the South Vietnamese people.

At this time, another person took it for granted: "As long as the young master is willing to come back, there will be no successors. The future will be long, who said that the young master will not marry a female queen for the sake of the overall situation."

Empress?Shen Ling almost laughed out loud.

For some reason, Shen Ling was not worried at all about Yue Xingfeng's possible marriage to a queen. He seemed to hear Yue Xingfeng's voice, and it seemed that the man laughed harder than he did.

"What are you laughing at?" The white-bearded old man shook his long green wooden staff, blowing his beard and staring at Shen Ling, as if he had committed a big taboo.

"I didn't..." Shen Ling thought it was not good, and blamed herself for not being able to hold back for a while, showing her emotions.

"Remember! You are a disgrace to me in South Vietnam. I should have killed you, but you are still useful. We must use you to recall our young master. You... Shen Ling, heh, do it yourself!"

"Yes." Shen Ling rolled her eyes, fearless in her heart.After listening to his words, he felt relieved.
