The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"You said it with certainty, as if you had seen how my father treated me."

Song Zichen couldn't help laughing, shook his head helplessly, and opened the kit in his hand, but inside was a green jade bottle.

"What is this - medicine? Could it be that the emperor guessed that someone here would be injured, so he specially asked the hidden guards to deliver the medicine? Then why don't you just ask them to protect it carefully..."

Meng Da came up curiously, studied it carefully, and couldn't help but shook his head and muttered something in a low voice.Peng Feigui couldn't bear to listen to it, kicked his ass, and sighed helplessly: "You must not go to the court, just stay in the army honestly, or point at your mouth, and you will die in the future." I don't know how he died."

"Okay, you two, stop arguing, keep your voice down, and don't disturb Mu Qiu to rest."

Seeing that the two men started fighting again at the slightest disagreement, Song Zichen couldn't help but rubbed his forehead with a headache, and chuckled helplessly.

Although he said that his father didn't like him very much, but when it came to this, the anticipation and nervousness in his heart were still undeniable.Song Zichen took a deep breath and opened the jade bottle in his hand, but an ordinary pill rolled out of it.

Peng Feigui, who was at the side, picked up the pill and sniffed it, before putting it back carefully: "It seems to be just an ordinary tranquilizing pill, nothing special..."

"Strange, father gave me such a thing, did you know it would give me a headache?"

Song Zichen shook his head in confusion, held the pill in his hand and studied it carefully for a while, but he still couldn't appreciate the deep meaning of his father's move.

Peng Feigui pondered for a while, then finally his eyes lit up, he raised his head suddenly and said, "My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this Anshen Pill is also called Dingshen Pill. The meaning of the emperor giving you this thing is to tell you to do it with peace of mind. Worried about looking forward and backward, the emperor will take care of anything..."

"If that's what you mean, I'm relieved. I'm afraid I misunderstood it because I was too sentimental. When I make a big disaster later, it will be even more difficult to explain when I go back."

Song Zichen smiled helplessly, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Father is always good at playing riddles, but my brain is not good at solving riddles..."

"That's right, you guys know what to do to fool His Highness, but what if the emperor doesn't think so? What if the emperor gives the prince this pill, which means that the prince is going to die, what shall we do?"

Meng Daxian finally seized the opportunity to intervene, covered his buttocks and followed in disbelief, then raised his neck towards Peng Feigui.Peng Feigui looked at him dumbfounded, and sighed helplessly: "You have a crow's mouth—it's true, how did His Highness put up with you before..."

"I haven't tolerated him before, usually I beat him directly."

Song Zichen responded casually, put the pill back into the jade bottle, and carefully put the jade bottle back into the kit: "Don't make wild guesses here, since this thing was sent by the dark guard Yes, what do I mean by asking them directly? After all, they have been with the emperor all the year round, and they have a much better understanding of the emperor's thoughts than the few of us."

"Okay, then listen to the prince."

Peng Feigui nodded, kicked Meng Daxian who was about to speak, and dragged him to follow Song Zichen's pace.The three of them went out of the mansion all the way, and besides the guards on duty outside, there was actually a black-clothed masked figure standing quietly outside the door, obviously waiting for his arrival.

"Senior—I've kept you waiting."

Unexpectedly, the legendary hidden guard would actually be waiting outside, so Song Zichen hurried over.He didn't walk around the palace very much, without Mu Qiu around to help remind him, and he didn't know how to greet these people, but he didn't dare to put on the airs of a prince and general, so he simply followed the rules of the world, leaned over and hugged his fists: "I've already read the tip bag sent by the senior—it's just that I can't understand what's in it, so I ask the senior to explain it to me."

"Don't dare dare——My lord please get up quickly."

The hidden guard responded respectfully, quickly helped him up with both hands, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "The emperor has an order, saying that all affairs in the army are in charge of the general, no need to consult other people's opinions regardless of killing or planning. The so-called military orders abroad are not acceptable. As long as the general can win this battle, the rest is of no importance. As long as the prince concentrates on fighting, the emperor will support you for the rest. The emperor also said——You have been wronged, he I know it in my heart, but now you still need to be patient for now, and when you return to Beijing, everything will be settled."

"Okay... I see."

Although he hadn't been very close to his father since he was a child, Song Zichen still felt a little bit inexplicably moved when he heard such words.He answered with a choked voice, and bowed respectfully in the direction of the capital: "I have thanked my father—I will work hard to live up to my father's trust..."

"Actually, the prince's battle has already been won. This is already a great credit. The rest are trivial matters that don't need to be taken care of. The emperor can understand it anyway."

The hidden guard obviously had a good impression of him, so he added with a gentle smile, and then said after a moment of pause: "It's just that—the prince had better pay more attention to the money and food of the rear army, if there is too much difference in the accounts, Many, even if you will not be punished after you return to Beijing, it will still somewhat damage the merit of the prince. If you have worked so hard to climb the ice and lie on the snow to fight this battle, if you are discounted because of these trivial things when you go back It’s really frustrating.”

It was not the first time that Song Zichen was reminded that there was a problem with the accounts, but he couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, he nodded quickly and said, "I see, thank you senior - after I go back, I will discuss with the army before making a decision... ..."

"Mu Canjun—is he okay?"

Hearing him mention Mu Qiu, the hidden guard suddenly hesitated to speak, and hesitantly stepped forward to ask a question in a low voice.Song Zichen couldn't help being slightly surprised, looked at his expression of concern and worry, then nodded again and said: "Although he was injured, fortunately, he didn't lose his life. It just needs to lie in bed for a while to heal the wound before we can go on the road, so I was only thinking about staying for a few more days before going back, and I was afraid of being impeached and causing trouble to my father..."

"If this is the case, my lord, please don't worry—Young Master Mu is also a half-prince, so staying due to injury is nothing. What's more, the emperor always..."

The hidden guard quickly shook his head, subconsciously responded, but stopped in the middle of the sentence, paused for a moment before saying: "I have always cared for Mr. Mu, if I know that Mr. Mu is injured, I will definitely I will issue an edict to return slowly."

"Really? Does Emperor Father like Mu Qiu very much?"

It was the first time Song Zichen knew that Mu Qiu had a connection with his own father, so he couldn't help asking curiously, and couldn't help but wonder: "This senior, I have indeed heard from Mu Qiu that both he and his father have trained Dark Guard—Could it be that you also have a relationship with Mu Qiu?"

"To tell you the truth, this subordinate is originally from the bodyguard department, so he is naturally familiar with Mr. Mu. The emperor and Mr. Mu are like brothers, so he also takes good care of the children of the Mu family..."

The dark guard responded with a smile, but didn't say much, just cupped his hands and said: "Please also take good care of Mr. Mu, we followed all the way down, seeing the mutual support between Mr. No end. This time the incident happened suddenly, our guards were not good enough, and we were already very guilty in our hearts. If you ask the young master to march with injuries, we might as well stay here for the time being, and protect young master Mu to heal his injuries before going after the big army."

"That's good, then I'll rest assured to stay for a while—I'll thank you for guarding day and night. When we were on the cliff, if you hadn't intercepted the pursuers for us, they wouldn't have been able to fly back to the Huns so smoothly. That proton was captured."

Only then did Song Zichen feel relieved, cupped his hands with a smile, and said a few more polite words before watching the dark guard turn around and disappear into the night.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Meng Da first approached cautiously: "My lord, maybe you don't like what I said—but why do I feel that in the hearts of those hidden guards, even in the emperor's place, we Mu Canjun's status seems to be higher than yours..."

"If that's the case, I'm too happy to be happy."

Song Zichen laughed helplessly, shook his head and sighed softly: "If Father really values ​​Mu Qiu so much, why should I be bothered? Why don't I go back and report to Father directly, saying that my third brother drugged Mu Qiu? You have to use his blood to make the antidote, so why would it take so much effort to beg Father to save Mu Qiu's life?"

"Your Highness is right—in fact, you might as well give it a try."

Peng Feigui who was at the side suddenly opened his mouth after pondering, and looked at him solemnly again: "Your Highness thinks——according to what the dark guard said just now, Mu Qiu is also a half-prince. Besides, he also said that the emperor has always treated the children of the Mu family. How well they take care of..."

He was only halfway through saying this, when a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes, he frowned and raised his head and said, "No, how many children are there in the Mu family, is there anyone else besides Mu Qiu?"

"You want to hear the name, it seems that there should be at least four?"

Meng Da touched his head first, and counted with his fingers solemnly: "Look, Mu Qiu counts as one, Mu Chun, Mu Xia, and Mu Dong..."

"Don't be silly here, how can you make such an inference?"

Peng Feigui was helpless by his disturbance, and cursed with a smile, pushed the troublemaker away, and his expression became serious: "My lord, you'd better ask Mu Qiu again, I always feel that there may be some articles here If Mu Qiu is not the only one in the Mu family, who else is there, and where is that person now?"
