Outside Gusu City, in the Hidden Dragon Valley, Chu Muyun’s family was enjoying a rare leisure time. His wife, Xue Waner, took him into her arms when he wasn’t paying attention: Husband, you can have a drink with me tonight. Chess or not? Before he could react, Qin Shuang, the side chamberlain, kissed him directly on the face. If you dare to treat him favorably! The Qin family is ready to serve you! At this time, Chu Muyun's two sons, Xue Zhenxiu and Chu Qi, saw what their father and mother were doing, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Father, what are you and your mother doing?" His two father-in-laws saw this scene and hurriedly became careless. Children, grandpa will take you to play in the back garden and let your father and mother concubine chat alone. After hearing this, the two little guys had no choice but to follow Xue Long and Qin Guangling to the back garden. Chu Muyun sighed, unknowingly, it has been ten years. Now, the children are around the knees, the husband sings and the wife follows. Looking back on those years, I don’t know where to start... Xue Waner also said that I can’t remember clearly, because my husband was Where did the Central Plains come from? , Chu Muyun smiled indifferently, let's start from the year when her husband left Southern Xinjiang... As Chu Muyun told it, a picture of memories slowly unfolded. That year, he was still the crown prince of Southern Xinjiang, and every day On that day, he was dealing with government affairs and inspecting military affairs. Although he was busy and dizzy, he was still enjoying himself. On that day, he was hunting in the dense forest with his fiancée Yue Huali, when he suddenly heard the guard coming to report to His Highness the Crown Prince! The envoy from Mobei, Herige, came to visit. You go first, I will arrive soon, Yue Huali said dissatisfied, he promised to hunt with me today, why did he not keep his promise? The affairs of the court are complicated. I will accompany you some other time. After saying that, Chu Muyun tidied up his appearance, put away his bow and arrows, said goodbye to his fiancée, and urged his horse to the king's tent in southern Xinjiang. The envoy of Mobei, Heri Ge, was neither humble nor overbearing. , Weichen came here on the orders of Zhuo Lu, King of the Northern Desert. Come and invite His Majesty the King of Southern Xinjiang to discuss the matter of Beihandong Gold Mine. Chu Muyun smiled indifferently, the King of the Northern Desert is really good at calculating. He wants to get our silver treasury in southern Xinjiang effortlessly. Princess Ri, before she finished speaking, a bejeweled woman walked into the royal tent. Chu Muyun hurriedly saluted. Chu Muyun, the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, had seen Her Royal Highness the Princess! Sa Ri glanced at Chu Muyun with disdain, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was exempt from the ceremony. Herige hurriedly added words of jealousy, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, our King of the Northern Desert wants to betroth the princess to His Highness the Crown Prince as his wife. What do you think of His Highness?" Chu Muyun sneered and said, "How can the princess marry a barbarian as my concubine?" Besides, the princess's cousin Yaqina is already the wife of my elder brother. If it is not in line with the etiquette and law for me to marry the princess, I should ask the princess to find another good wife. Match it. After hearing this, Sali replied, "In that case, I won't force it anymore. Seeing that the marriage has not been completed, the messenger Herig asked about the gold mine again. Chu Muyun thought for a moment, I will He also wanted to discuss it with his father. When leaving the king's tent, Sari whispered, you are just a small prince, how dare you be so ignorant of praise. Unexpectedly, Chu Muyun exposed half of the Dragon Blood Tangxi Sword on his waist. , and ordered, set up the sword gate! In the blink of an eye, the warriors in Southern Xinjiang raised several bright scimitars over the heads of Herig and Sari. Then, Chu Muyun said coldly, "Although our Southern Xinjiang is a projectile,It’s a land, but not everyone can bully it! Someone come! see a visitor out! Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to swallow their anger and leave through the knife door. Chu Muyun snorted coldly. She is just a princess of the clan, but she dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of me, the crown prince. She really doesn’t know how to live or die! If there is a chance, I will let you wait for these Khitan people! Death without a burial place! After sending away the Northern Desert envoy and leaving the White Tiger King's tent, he returned to the inner palace to discuss with his father Chu Xiaojiang. After Chu Xiaojiang heard what happened, he explained to his son, Yun'er, Beihandong is the land of wealth in southern Xinjiang. Easy to defend but difficult to attack, the location is extremely important! This is also an extraordinary city that was bought with the blood of countless White Tiger Army soldiers. Therefore, not to mention a princess, even a golden mountain cannot give up her homeland to others. I also understand that the King of Beimo wants to annex small countries first to expand his strength, and then compete with the Tang Dynasty. Father, what should we do now? good? Now the only choice is to bear the pain and let Ning'er marry the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty is not as good as before after the Anshi Rebellion, as the saying goes, the power of a tiger still exists. Today, the Tang Dynasty has regained some of its vitality under the leadership of the new king Li Yu. If our southern border wants to continue to establish a foothold here, the only way to do it is to marry with the Tang Dynasty. After hearing this, Chu Muyun said anxiously, no, no, my little sister will never be the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Chu Xiaojiang comforted Yun'er and said, "Don't worry. My father will not trap Ning'er in the inner courtyard of the palace. Her husband is the seventh son of the Tang Dynasty King Han Wang Li Jiong. After hearing this, Chu Muyun He breathed a sigh of relief, and his son felt relieved. Three days later, his father would send an envoy to propose marriage to Ning'er. I believe that the King of Tang will agree. But has the father decided on the envoy? Your second brother Chu Tian, Chu Muyun said in confusion. There are countless famous ministers in the court. Besides, there are me and the eldest brother. Why use the second brother? Chu Xiaojiang explained that now my father is old and you are the crown prince. Your eldest brother Chu Xiong is in charge of the border and has no skills. Most of the ministers in the court are old and frail like your father. Therefore, except for your second brother, There is no one to send. Well, it is getting late. My father needs to rest for a while. You can go down first. The sons and ministers resigned and left the inner palace. Chu Muyun turned around and returned to his prince's mansion. When Chu Muyun left, Chu Muyun Xiao Jiang then copied the imperial edict and sent it to the mansions of the second prince Chu Tian and princess Chu Xuening respectively. After Chu Muyun returned to the mansion, he felt a little tired and lay on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened recently. The coldness of his fiancee, the frequent changes of the flying leopard cavalry, and the fact that he frightened the horse three times in a row while hunting. It made him faintly worried, and he felt that he was the crown prince. He was about to reach the end, when he was uneasy, he suddenly heard a voice saying, maybe the third brother was reluctant because I was about to get married. Chu Muyun hurriedly sat up when he heard the shout, and found that his sister Chu Xuening was standing there. Sitting on the edge of the bed. Looking at herself with those almond-shaped eyes that could speak, Chu Xuening also noticed something was wrong with her brother at this time. She asked in a soft voice, has the third brother been frowning recently? Can you tell your sister what's on your mind? Chu Muyun heard this and said helplessly, how could the little sister understand the matter of being a brother. Chu Xuening didn't care when she heard this, "I know my brother Mo Ruomei, you and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother." What the third brother wants in his heart is An NengAfter hearing what my sister said, Chu Muyun had no choice but to reveal all his worries. "Little sister, the Flying Leopard Cavalry has been mobilized frequently in the past few days. It seems that something big is about to happen, so I feel uneasy for my brother." Having nightmares one after another, Chu Xuening smiled and said, "I'm afraid the third brother is afraid of more than this, right?" The younger sister knows that the safety of the father and the change of ownership of the country are indeed among the third brother's considerations, but what scares the third brother the most is that your sister-in-law will leave you. I wonder if what my little sister said is right? My sister is indeed ice-snow smart, and what she said is exactly what you said, and what your brother thinks is exactly what you said. Recently, Hua Li's attitude has been hot and cold, and it is difficult to understand. Chu Xuening smiled and said, why can't I understand this? The situation between the government and the opposition is complicated now. Your position as the crown prince is in jeopardy, you don't have time to spend with her, and your second brother's prestige is getting higher and higher. Naturally, she wanted to find a new love. Although I worked hard every day and was busy with state affairs, I never neglected her. My second brother and my third sister-in-law were getting closer and closer. It has long been known to everyone on the road that Sima Zhao's heart is in trouble. Third brother, please don't hesitate. Little sister, you mean... no! I don't believe she would do this. It's true that Hua Li is unruly and willful. The second brother is eyeing her and the position of crown prince. This is true, but after all, she and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. She is my future crown princess. I don’t believe that she would do such shameless things for the sake of imperial power and wealth! Third brother, you are a little too naive. You and her were really inseparable in the past. But now that time has passed, she is no longer the Yue Huali she used to be. What's more, fame and wealth are what everyone in this world wants. Even if you can't let go of her old love, she may not come back to you again. But... Chu Muyun is still a little hesitant. I know that no matter what I say now, you won't believe it. But as a sister, I still have to remind you that even if you give up everything for her, she will not respond in any way. After saying that, Chu Xuening left the prince's mansion, leaving Chu Muyun alone in a daze. At the same time, near Huyadong where the royal tent of Southern Xinjiang was located, the Flying Leopard Cavalry, the second largest force in Southern Xinjiang, At the station, the second prince Chu Tian was sitting by the fire with everyone in the Feibao Cavalry, discussing the plan to frame Yue Hang, the Prime Minister of Southern Xinjiang, and assassinate Chu Muyun. Hussar General Wei Cheng asked, Your Highness, what exactly are you planning to do by arranging for us to move our troops to the vicinity of the king's tent this time and notifying His Highness to send out the Iron Wolf Army? We have only two purposes this time. One, to win over the Yue family, and two, to seize the throne of the crown prince. This is also the reason why I ordered Lord Dou to mobilize your Flying Leopard Cavalry to attack Huyadong this time. Please give me your instructions, Second Highness, We all listen to you, okay. When you hear the sound of cannons, you will surround the king's tent with lightning speed. Our fight with the Iron Wolf Army and the White Tiger Army only needs to be a show, and there is no need to fight. As long as my father sees the Flying Leopard Cavalry and the token with his own eyes, the first step of our plan will be successful. Wei Cheng was even more puzzled after hearing this. If he wanted to win over, why go to such trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just give some gold, silver, jewelry, or a beautiful woman? After hearing this, Chu Tian explained that Yue Hang was an upright and resourceful man. It would be a pity to kill him or abandon him. In terms of personal affairs, he is my future father-in-law, and Money and beauty cannot impress him. butIf I use this strategy, it will have the miraculous effect of killing two birds with one stone. It will not only help me retain talents, but also allow my third brother to voluntarily hand over the position of crown prince. Save me from worries. At this time, a soldier worriedly asked, what about our safety? Chu Tian smiled calmly, "I don't need to worry about this. When the time comes, all I have to do is put the blame for the rebellion on the two Yue Kun brothers; I believe that the third brother will not care about their life or death." The soldier asked, what if the Second Highness's plan failed and the Third Highness refused to leave? Chu Tian smiled and said, this is impossible, because I still have a trump card. By the way, have the Iron Wolf Army people arrived? As many as 30,000 people arrived, all hiding nearby. However, the time for the attack had not yet been determined, and the brothers were a little uneasy. Chu Tian smiled and said, "Very good, we will continue to be stationed. As for the time to take action, it will be after I come back from Chang'an. Everything is seamless and logical. As long as the third brother leaves southern Xinjiang, the rest can be left to Iron Claw." Ying did it. This man is a famous bounty killer in the Central Plains and will definitely be able to get the matter done. But Your Highness, the people of the Central Plains are cunning and deceitful. What if... Chu Tian waved his hand after hearing what the soldier said and said to this prince. For me, the most important thing is not these insignificant details; it is the results, and I just want the world to know! Those who obey me will prosper! Those who oppose me will perish! All those who try to stop me from ascending to the throne! They will all disappear from this world!
