Chapter 25

The territory of Ming State, which is adjacent to Mu State, is heavily guarded. Some merchants from Mu State will pay a fee to enter the city to conduct long-distance transactions.

When Wang Ben was wearing tattered clothes and standing under the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding above thought he was a poor beggar from Mu country.

"Could it be a drought?"

"It may also be pests, but now is the harvest season, and the refugees shouldn't have escaped hungry so early."

"Exactly, I have never seen refugees from Mu before."

The officers and soldiers whispered, and the civilians who lined up to enter the city deliberately stayed away from the strange man. Not to mention a few rags on his body, his eyes were still fierce. He might be a desperado. Wang Ben looked at those people coldly, slowly. Slowly raised a token.

The officials guarding the city took a closer look, and gradually their eyes became dull. The leading captain hurriedly led people out of the city, and bowed down to Wang Ben.

Wang Ben's expression was cold, and he was escorted back to the Ming Palace by a large number of people after he was bathed and changed.

As soon as his feet stepped over the threshold of the palace, he saw several ministers kneeling on the ground.

Wang Ben walked straight to the throne and sat down, raised his hand, "Let's get flat."

The ministers bowed their waists, stood on both sides, and said, "Your Majesty came back suddenly, and the ministers are very happy. Your Majesty has worked hard along the way."

Wang Ben waved his hand, "There's no need to talk nonsense, I just came back from a cruise this time, and I happen to have something to talk to you about."

Several ministers looked at each other in dismay, and the leading minister walked out straight away. He was only 25 or [-] years old. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is tired and exhausted. Do you want to rest for a while?" Wang Ben laughed loudly, "I You are very energetic, and it’s normal if you don’t understand. Only by going into battle alone, bravely traveling to the end of the world, and honing in suffering can you achieve the real emperor’s spirit.” The minister said with emotion, “Your Majesty has returned with a full load, and I sincerely congratulate you.”

Wang Ben looked at him, "Song Yi, you are the Minister of Military Aircraft that I value most, so you don't need to be so polite. If you have a chance in the future, I will take you to experience it together."

Song Yi said with a smile, "I am terrified."

Wang Ben asked someone to bring a cushion, and he wrote down the fifty sticks.

Song Yi noticed this detail, but he didn't ask, but said, "I don't know where Your Majesty went on this tour." Wang Ben clapped his hands and said cheerfully, "There are countless places to go, whether it's the desert sunset or the snow. Flying eagles, swamps, vines, canyons and streams, I have set foot on them myself, and I have seen countless exotic flowers and plants, beasts and rare birds." The ministers knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is so wise and mighty that no one can stop him."

Wang Ben, however, showed no joy. He looked at the entrance of the palace with far-reaching eyes, "It's a pity that the most precious prey was not brought back."

Song Yi asked puzzledly, "What did His Majesty take a fancy to, do you still remember the specific location, I will try my best to get it and send it to the palace."

Wang Ben smiled disdainfully, "You can't get that person, I'll take him back with my own hands."

"that person"

Wang Ben didn't hide anything, "Mu Guo's army commander, Chu Lan."

Song Yi looked surprised, and he asked cautiously, "Your Majesty said it was the Marquis of War God." Wang Ben laughed mockingly, "What God of War is just a plaything of Emperor Mu."

A minister hesitated and said, "The Marquis of Chu, the state of Mu, is almost invincible, and his military skills are extremely terrifying. I don't know why your majesty came to such a conclusion." Wang Ben didn't care about the rebuttal of his subordinates, he said, "This time I deliberately I went to Mu country and lived for a long time. Not to mention anything else, Mudi's lazy, incompetent, extravagant style is really disgusting. In his eyes, Chuhou is just a Just something for fun."

Song Yi was puzzled, "But the Mu country is powerful, and it is rumored that Emperor Mu is not good."

Wang Ben interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't mention the distance, let's just talk about it recently. Emperor Mu didn't go to the court early, so he was lazy, and he didn't approve the memorial, he was incompetent. He watched dances during the day and had hot springs at night. He lived such a luxurious life. Can you still hope that he is a wise king?" The minister who questioned at the beginning was silent. His Majesty said so, who would dare to argue, he said respectfully, "It's because my knowledge is shallow, I didn't expect Mu Guo to be so beautiful .”

Wang Ben's face became gloomy, "I threw olive branches over and over again, but the Marquis of Chu refused to accept, and insisted on guarding the dwindling dynasty of the Western Mountains. It seems that it is time for him to clearly understand that he should serve and curry favor with all his heart. Who is the target?" The ministers were unclear, so "what does your Majesty mean?"

Wang Ben recalled the pain from the stick and the humiliation of being repeatedly rejected, he said sharply, "Get ready, I will destroy Mu Guo directly."

Song Yi looked at him in shock, "Your Majesty, this"

Wang Ben stood up with a cold snort, his tone was firm and could not be refuted, "You don't need to persuade me, unless that person is willing to come here as a prisoner of war to be imprisoned, otherwise don't expect me to be merciful to that stupid king."

After this trip to Mu Country, Wang Ben deeply suspected that his fear of Mu Country was due to ignorance and caution.

Now it seems that Emperor Mu is nothing more than that, and the Marquis of Chu was also deeply hurt. Facing such a neighboring country that is riddled with holes, if he does not attack at this time, let alone when the decree is issued without delay, Wang Ben will return to the palace. He watched the concubines rest, and before falling asleep, he told one of his concubines, "Prepare a loft in the palace, and put some tools I like in it, just for male concubines."

The concubine giggled and said softly, "Who is your majesty looking at again? Is there a newcomer in the palace?" Wang Ben touched her face and said with a smile, "What are you worried about? Educational pets."

In Mu country.

Jiang Yuan quietly got out of bed, and before he could stand up straight, he was hugged from behind.

Chu Hou squinted his eyes and rubbed Emperor Mu's sleeves, his voice was a little hoarse, but with a bit of magnetism, "Where is my emperor going? There was also a hint of grievance in his tone. He was only willing to be hugged last night. Can't be satisfied.

Jiang Yuan tried to put him back on the bed, "It's time to discuss things."

Even if they came to the hot spring palace, they still set a rule of discussing matters every morning, and it would be best to make a fool of themselves and play a little bit of scumbag instinct.

Chuhou's hand still held on to Emperor Mu's clothes, "Sleep for a while, the meeting will be cancelled."

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "If you don't notify the ministers in advance, I'm afraid they are already waiting."

But it's better to wait for a while, so that his reputation for being unpunctual can spread.

Chuhou pulled Mudi back little by little, and when he got back to the bed, he buried his head in Mudi's neck again, and said softly, "Don't worry, my emperor, I have informed them yesterday. "

Jiang Yuan was slightly puzzled, "How do you know that there will be some delays today?"

Marquis Chu seemed to pause for a moment before explaining in a calm tone, "I saw that my emperor was too tired from running around during the day, so I made arrangements on my own, thinking that I should rest more the next day so as to recover my strength."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, this is really a rainy day.

It just always feels like something is wrong.
