As soon as Su Mu walked out of the Palace of Qinzheng, Mo Xiao appeared at the corner, watched Su Mu's leaving back for a long time, and entered the hall to present a message about the recent Qian Dynasty towards neighboring countries:

The royal family of Loucha, a powerful country in the north of the night, was destroyed, and now the rebels are cooperating with the Western countries, and the people who refused to submit were slaughtered.

The two brothers Huyan and Huyan in the west have just established their foothold and stabilized the Eastern Qianguo. They want to stabilize their rule and make false claims with the Western countries. However, the situation is extremely unstable, and a war with the Western countries is imminent.

The southwestern countries have long been reduced to the vassals of the Western countries.

Lingnan in the Qian Dynasty was also touched by Xifan.

Among them, there is a seemingly inconspicuous piece of news that caught Mo Xiao's attention:

The people of the Chenxu Continent, which suffered from war and suffering, are struggling in dire straits. At some point, a prophecy spreads——

When the fireworks are in full bloom, the morning star will descend in the east, attracting thousands of meteors to fall, and the western wolves that come across the sea will be expelled.

The displaced people will return to their homeland, the evil drugs will be destroyed, the fertile soil will be replanted with food, the people of the entire Chenxu Continent will be sheltered, and the countries will usher in peace and prosperity.

After reading the letter, the emperor said indifferently: "Have you found out the source of this rumor?"

Mo Xiao: "Not yet." This time he checked the rumors for a long time but still couldn't find out where they came from, which was quite strange.

Emperor: "Venus...interesting, check again."

Mo Xiao should be.

After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Su Mu walked all the way to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace.

Su Mu thought that the reason why the emperor was not angry no matter what, maybe it was because he wanted to use him to compete with the prince, to balance the two, just like he wanted to use Chi Ranzhi to be the empress dowager before.

He doesn't!

He wants to be friends with the crown prince!

Hmph, let's see if the emperor is angry this time!

When we arrived at the Wenhua Palace, the prince was not there, so Su Mu paced outside the Wenhua Palace with his hands in his hands.

As he was walking, Su Mu suddenly felt a little dazed. He stopped, looked at the floor tiles under his feet, and left silently after a while.

The originally fine weather suddenly started to lightly rain. When the prince returned to Wenhua Palace, he heard that Su Mu had just come to look for him. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his umbrella and went to look for it.

The sky was cloudy, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The prince thought that Su Mu had returned to the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't see anyone, so he ordered the guards to look for Su Mu's trace.

A quarter of an hour later, the prince held an umbrella and came to the Taiye Lake in the Imperial Garden. From a distance, he saw a group of red figures curled up in front of a bunch of inconspicuous bushes beside the rockery of Taiye Lake, squatting by the lake , Looking at the lake in a daze.

The prince stepped forward, put an umbrella on Su Mu's head, covered Su Mu from the rain, squatted down, looked at Su Mu who was drenched by the rain, and asked warmly, "Why is Mu Mu here alone?"

Su Mu blinked to wipe off the rain on his eyelashes, and turned to look at the prince.

He looked at the prince for a long time, then turned his head to look at the lake, his tightly pursed lips were hidden in the cloth of his arms on his knees, and he huddled there, ignoring him without speaking.

The prince looked at Su Mu's wet eyes, those eyes were clear to the bottom, filled with indescribable contradictions and hesitation at the moment, the pale little face frozen by the cold rain was full of sadness and loss, and even turned up. The tip of the nose is full of grievances.

The prince read a lot in those eyes.

Su Mu still doesn't know how to hide.

Perhaps, do not want to hide.

They all understand that, as the only two sons of the current emperor, any words are too pale.

The prince stretched out his hand, gently helped Su Mu up, and brought the little drowned dog home.

East Palace Qingning Hall

Su Mu took a hot bath, changed into new clothes, and sat cross-legged on a large chair in the flower hall, surrounded by a blanket. The waiter in the Eastern Palace wiped his wet long hair, and held a large bowl of hot ginger soup with drooping eyes and small mouths. drinking.

The prince sat on the chair next to Su Mu, "What's wrong with Mu Mu?"

Su Mu drank the ginger soup with downcast eyes and remained silent.

The prince took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Did you quarrel with Ranzhi?"

After Su Mu drank the ginger soup, he ate a pastry on the table: "Hmph."

The prince looked at Su Mu's puffy cheeks while eating the pastry, and he couldn't help but patted Su Mu's head.

Su Mu paused, turned his head to look at him, his eyes were a little dazed, and then lowered his eyes again, his eyelashes blinked, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he was stumped by something.

The prince withdrew his hand, looked at Su Mu for a while, seemed to guess something, and smiled.

The servant helped Su Mu dry her long hair and tied it up, and put on the clothes that the prince ordered someone to bring back from the Prince's Mansion.

The prince asked Su Mu: "I'm going to the Wenhua Palace to deal with the Ministry of War's expedition to Lingnan. Would Mu Mu go with me?"

Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the prince.

The prince smiled and said, "Let's go."

Su Mu quickly put down the piece of pastry he had just picked up, clapped his hands, and followed the prince to Wenhua Hall.

Everyone in Zhan Shifu and relevant officials of the Ministry of War were waiting in the Wenhua Hall. Seeing the prince and Su Mu coming together, they couldn't help being stunned. After saluting, they couldn't help but look at Su Mu secretly.

The prince sat in the main seat, and ordered his servant to put another chair beside his own, and said to Su Mu, "Mu Mu sit here."

Su Mu obediently sat next to the prince.

The prince said to Su Mu warmly as if teaching a student: "The food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. Let's start with the officials in charge of food and grass."

Su Mu nodded.

The prince asked the grain transportation officer in charge to come forward, Xie Jianyu sat on the left of the prince and Su Mu, and presented the file of this person.

The prince spread it out on the table and watched it with Su Mu.

While watching, he asked some questions, and the food transport officer answered them one by one.

After reading the file, the prince said, "Is there anything Mumu wants to ask?"

Su Mu was looking through the files just now while searching for various information about war, logistics, overall planning and food in his mind, when he heard this, he looked at this person.

Since Zhen Guogong and his family are behind the push to let Chi Ranzhi lead the army to fight, and Zhen Guogong has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, I am afraid that most of the people who are in charge of the expedition-related affairs arranged by the Ministry of War are Zhen Guogong Those who are not here will play tricks on Chi Ranzhi during the battle.

Su Mu thought for a while, and said to the prince, "Since he is the grain transport officer, I want to test him a few questions, is that okay?"

The prince smiled and said, "Naturally."

Food transport officer: "..."

Everyone: "..."

They peeked at the prince.

His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince has inherited the best lineage of the emperor and empress, no matter how you look at it, he is recognized as an impeccable and perfect prince.And his words and deeds, dealing with people and things, can be described in one word-just right.

However, today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unexpectedly - went out of line.

They couldn't help looking at the way the crown prince got along with the new prince, and they didn't see any tension or undercurrent. Instead, it seemed——

His Highness the Crown Prince spread his wings and sheltered the little prince under his wings.

Unabashedly.

Su Mu smiled slightly, looked at the food transport officer, and asked a very complicated big question involving modern military logistics operations research, and asked the food transport officer to calculate and answer it in simple and easy-to-understand terms.

Grain Transport Officer: "..." I seem to understand, but I don't understand at all.

A quarter of an hour later, the food transport officer frowned, the crown prince took a sip of tea, and Xie Jianyu looked at Su Mu and smiled.

Two quarters of an hour later, the food transport officer fell into chaos...it was impossible to calculate.

The officials in charge of the Ministry of War and several Zhan Shi from Zhan Shifu's brows loosened, and they stroked their beards and smiled lightly.This question is interesting.

After a while, Su Mu said to the prince with an innocent face: "This man is not good, his brain is so slow. Let him be responsible for transporting food and coordinating the dispatch. Can he really dispatch it?"

The grain transport officer suppressed his anger and looked up at Su Mu: "..."

I sneered from the bottom of my heart.

So what if the prince seems to protect you inexplicably?I am the Duke of Zhen, so the prince naturally...

Prince: "Mumu is right. Go down."

Food transport officer: "!!!"

The food transport officer left in a daze.

In the next hour, the prince explained the specific process, details and key points of the march to Su Mu in a simple, detailed and appropriate manner, introduced the currently tentative officials and generals, and their responsibilities, and showed Su Mu Profiles of these people.

Su Mu listened very carefully, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he didn't need to mention it. As soon as he showed doubts, the prince would explain it to him.

Occasionally, when Su Mu had some insights, the prince would praise him: "Mu Mu is so smart, I didn't expect it."

Su Mu was embarrassed, but also inexplicably happy. He looked at the prince next to him with strange eyes: "Brother Huang is amazing."

The prince smiled and said, "Brother."

Su Mu blinked, did not speak, and continued to look down at the files and materials.

The officials of the Ministry of War and the generals related to this operation have gone down, and only the people from Zhan Shifu are left in the Wenhua Palace.

Everyone in Zhan Shifu secretly watched the prince and Su Mu thoughtfully.

When Su Mu had no problem, the crown prince ordered Xie Jianyu to go to the Ministry of Officials to get all the files of the Ministry of War officials, and said to Su Mu: "I am not very satisfied with the personnel arranged by the Ministry of War this time, please trouble Mu Mu to help Elder Brother choose one. There is no one more suitable."

Su Mu looked at the prince with sparkling eyes, "Yes."

So, the two began to look through the files together, but Su Mu read it much faster than the prince. After asking about some places and positions that he didn't understand, Su Mu picked up other files and quickly looked through them. Soon I finished reading all the files except the one in the prince's hand.

The prince and everyone in Zhan Shifu looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu blinked: "I've finished watching."

The prince smiled and handed the file in his hand to Su Mu: "Mu Mu is really amazing."

Su Mu scratched his head and quickly finished reading.

In fact, the crown prince has long memorized the resumes of officials in these files. He looked at Su Mu, "Is there anything Mu Mu doesn't understand?"

Su Mu asked what he didn't understand, and the prince explained Su Mu's doubts one by one.

After Su Mu understood, the two began to re-discuss the candidates for each position.

Su Mu felt that there was a high probability that the people in the current positions were all from Duke Zhen, and he didn't want any of them.Moreover, he doesn't want any resumes that overlap with these people.So, after discussing with the prince, he also called suitable candidates to take an examination of the school. After the final list of candidates was released, the prince looked at the list, then looked at Su Mu, and smiled.

There is no one from Zhen Guogong.

The prince stamped the seal and handed the list to Xie Jianyu: "Just follow this list."

Xie Jianyu took it and ordered someone to hand over the list to the Ministry of War.

After finishing all this work, night had already fallen, and the prince left Su Mu to have dinner in Qingning Hall.

Here, the two brothers were eating delicacies, and the grandson and grandson of Zhen Guogong got the news of the new list in the middle of dinner, and they couldn't eat any more.

For the first time, the grandson of Zhen Guogong, who has always been strategizing, is not calm: "What is the prince's cousin doing? How can Su Mu kick us out?"

The prince of Zhen Guogong was very silent this time, and he said after a long time: "He is warning us."

Shi Sun: "Warning? Us?"

Prince: "Warning us, don't touch his younger brother, Su Mu."

The grandson frowned: "Why is this? The prince's cousin never cares about these private matters. Besides, Su Mu is still the person who threatens him the most."

The son was silent.

Duke Zhen sighed, "I thought he had forgotten. Unexpectedly, he remembered everything."

Grandson: "???"

In the study of the Marquis of Changle, as soon as Chi Ranzhi came back, Gong Mei handed over the new list.

Gong Ya: "In this new list, there are two people we have placed in the Ministry of War, and the others include people from the Duke of An, the prince, and the Xiao family, and the rest are neutral factions. They are all very capable, but there is not a single person from Zhen Guo Gongfu. This time, Mu Mu really gave us a pleasant surprise."

Originally, all the people on the list were from the government of Zhen Guo. Although they could find ways to check and deal with them during the march, it would inevitably take a lot of trouble.

Gong Mei: "The most ingenious thing is that we put these two people on the bright side, and none of them were exposed in the dark." He looked at Chi Ranzhi: "Thanks to you telling Mumu about the existence of these people. This time Not only did Mu Mu not accidentally hurt our own people, but she also helped a lot."

Grandma Gong: "The crown prince ordered someone to send a letter saying that Mumu has been busy all afternoon and will come back after dinner in the East Palace."

Chi Ranzhi got up, the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "I'll pick him up."

Hall of Qinzheng

The emperor naturally knew about Su Mu and the prince, and he got the list before dinner. He thought about it and set it up in the East Palace.

Chi Ranzhi and the emperor met at the gate of the East Palace. The emperor ordered the servants of the East Palace not to inform, and they went directly to Qingning Palace with Chi Ranzhi.

As soon as the two entered the door, they heard——

"Brother, this is delicious, try it."

"Well, it's really delicious. Mu Mu, try this dish, this is the imperial chef..."

Chi Ranzhi and the emperor stood at the door, watching Su Mu eat while listening to the prince's cooking, his eyes were shining, and he looked at the prince with admiration: "Brother, how do you know so much... "

The prince patted Su Mu's head and said with a smile, "Mu Mu is amazing. She is smarter than all the younger brothers of my brother's friends."

The pride is palpable.

……

The emperor seemed to have a catty of "sweet" oranges that Su Mu fed him during the northern tour.

Chi Ranzhi: "..."
