Chapter 819 Listening to music on the hook, two years later, the plot begins
In the huge Prince Mu's palace, the only person who is qualified to sit at the same table with Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing for dinner is Zhou Chen.
Prince Mu died in battle many years ago. Not long after, Princess Mu also left with him. Although she still had a concubine left behind, the childless concubine had nothing to do with the Mu siblings.
Even if they interact too much, they will not eat at the same table as the Mu siblings.
Mu Nihuang's style change really surprised Zhou Chen.
Mu Nihuang's facial features and appearance may not be considered to be the most beautiful of the country. She has been on the battlefield all year round, so her skin is not as soft as snow and as soft as water like that of other ladies.
But she has an indescribable heroic spirit, high spirits, and peerless elegance.
Judging from Zhou Chen's countless eyes, no woman he has ever encountered or seen can match the heroic appearance of Princess Nihuang.
In other words, it is difficult for modern women to have such heroic temperament as Princess Nihuang. Times are different, and the beauty of women is also different.
Zhou Chen has never seen the heroine Hua Mulan, but the Princess Nihuang in front of him is probably no better than the Hua Mulan in this story.
When Mu Qing saw Zhou Chen looking at his sister in a daze, he smiled and approached Zhou Chen.
"How about it? My sister is beautiful, aren't you fascinated?"
Zhou Chen came back to his senses and looked at Mu Qing with disgust: "I was thinking about a question. You said that you and the princess are from the same mother. How come there is such a big gap?"
Mu Qing was angry: "What do you mean?"
"Look, your sister is so heroic and majestic. Everyone in the world knows and refuses to accept it. Look at you again. You have snake eyebrows and rat eyes, and an eagle-headed bird brain. It's unbearable to look at. Oh, the gap..."
Mu Qing was still as impatient as ever, and angrily said: "I have the eyebrows of a snake, the eyes of a rat, and the brain of an eagle-headed bird? Chen Yu, don't you have eyes? I am so handsome, charming, and suave, which means I am not yet an adult.
Otherwise, if you are second on the list of young masters, which round will I get you?"
"hehe."
Zhou Chen's contemptuous smile made Mu Qing even more angry. Just when he was about to speak again, Mu Nihuang had already approached.
"Qing'er, what are you doing over there?"
Mu Qing just wanted to file a complaint, but he thought that no matter what he said, his sister would definitely believe Zhou Chen more, so he rolled his eyes and thought of an idea.
He changed his angry expression and said with a smile: "Sister, Brother Yu and I were just talking about my sister. Brother Yu said that it was the first time he saw his sister dressed like this. She was so beautiful. He had never seen her before.
A beautiful woman like my sister."
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Zhou Chen trembled and glared at Mu Qing, this brat, can he say such nonsense?
Mu Qing winked at him proudly. This was the first time since he met Zhou Chen that he saw Zhou Chen being angered by him. He felt really happy.
Mu Nihuang's expression was stunned, and she looked at Zhou Chen unconsciously, only to find that Zhou Chen didn't look at her at all, but instead glared at Mu Qing, and she immediately felt funny.
This is not the first time she has been praised by others, so she has long been used to praise from others.
With her intelligence, how could she not see that this was her brother's deliberate trouble, but she did not point it out and instead deliberately scolded Mu Qing.
"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense. Brother Chen is a gentleman. Why would you talk about others in private?"
Listening to Mu Nihuang's tone, which was clearly talking about Mu Qing, but actually meant something else, Zhou Chen could only smile awkwardly.
However, he was a little wary. Mu Nihuang was engaged to Mei Changsu, so he had to keep a distance.
Especially when he thought about the water battle with Nanchu some time ago, he and Mu Nihuang often discussed tactics together, almost every day.
Shouldn't it?
Zhou Chen quickly got rid of this absurd idea. He was not narcissistic to this extent. He felt that if he spent some time with Mu Nihuang, Mu Nihuang would really develop feelings for him.
Thinking that the danger in the southern border has been lifted to prevent unforeseen problems, it seems that there is no need for him to stay any longer.
With an idea in mind, he quickly made a decision, planning to express his feelings to the Mu siblings after finishing the meal.
Because of Mu Qing's deliberate trouble, both Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang were a little embarrassed about the meal. On the contrary, Mu Qing, the culprit, was not affected at all and continued to eat and drink.
After staying in the military camp for several months, Mu Qing suffered a lot. He finally went home and had a good meal, but how could he control himself?
After the meal, Zhou Chen cleared his throat, and then said to Mu Nihuang: "Princess, I have been in the southern border for a while and have caused you a lot of trouble. In order to find a breakthrough, I plan to continue traveling and cannot continue to teach.
Young prince, so I want to say goodbye to the princess, and by the way, I want to say sorry."
When Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing heard Zhou Chen's words, their expressions changed at the same time.
Mu Qing couldn't hold back his anger and stood up in surprise: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? Why are you leaving? It's because our Mu family didn't entertain you, okay?"
Zhou Chen said: "That's not true. The princess and the young prince are so enthusiastic, and I am very grateful. But that's just the way I am. I don't like to stay in one place for a long time. I prefer to travel all over the country."
"Well, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Why don't you wait for a while and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Mu Qing also knew that he had no reason to keep Zhou Chen, but after spending two months with Zhou Chen, he really liked playing with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was much more interesting than his previous playmates.
Zhou Chen still refused: "I appreciate the kindness of the young prince, but there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. The parting today is also for a better reunion in the future."
"What nonsense? Don't make excuses with me. I don't understand. Anyway, I won't let you leave."
Mu Qing acted like a rogue. He felt that his weight might not be enough, so he approached Mu Nihuang again.
"Sister, come and persuade Brother Yu to let him stay a little longer. If he leaves, there will be no one to play with me."
Mu Nihuang glared at him: "No nonsense."
Then he said to Zhou Chen with a serious expression: "Brother Chen, what Qing'er said makes sense. Even if you want to leave, there is no need to rush. It just so happens that I still have a lot of martial arts and battlefield matters, and I want to ask Brother Chen for advice; before,
I still have many questions about the training method that Brother Chen told me, and I need Brother Chen to help me answer my questions."
Zhou Chen explained: "The princess thinks too highly of me. The princess's martial arts is no worse than mine, and I am far inferior to the princess in matters on the battlefield. As for the training methods, I figured it out by myself. Basically
It’s not on the table, so the princess should not have high expectations.”
Now that he sees Mu Nihuang, he can't help but think of Mei Changsu. He and Mei Changsu have known each other for so many years and are true life-and-death friends. He can't do anything wrong to Mei Changsu.
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not give in this time. He also looked directly at Mu Nihuang, his eyes full of determination.
"If you want to leave, we can't stop you. However, Qing'er has been studying with you recently and has made a lot of progress. This shows that your discipline methods are still effective. I would like to ask you to stay a few more days and hand over these methods.
Give it to me so that I can discipline him later."
"This? Uh, okay."
Zhou Chen was just about to refuse, but seeing Mu Nihuang's expectant eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to agree.
"Then I will stay for a few more days. If the princess wants to know anything, you can ask me directly."
Mu Nihuang nodded, and then left expressionlessly.
Mu Qing said to Zhou Chen with some gloating: "Did you see that you made my sister unhappy? I'm telling you, anyone who dares to make my sister unhappy will definitely not end well."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "I think you made your sister unhappy, it has nothing to do with me."
"Hey, you really treat me like a child. Do you really think I can't see the problem between you two?" Mu Qing looked disdainful.
"Look at your size, I'm going to go back to sleep and continue studying tomorrow."
"No, you still have to study. Aren't you going to leave in a few days? Don't study for a few days. I'll take you around to play."
"I have traveled all over the world. I have never been to any place. If I want to play, I don't need you to take me with you."
"Really? Then you take me to play. Brother Yu, let me tell you, I like to go out and play the most. You are right. Our southern border is still too small and there are not many places to play. By the way.
, I am going to the capital city of Jinling after the Mid-Autumn Festival. His Majesty the Emperor said that he wants me to go to Jinling to learn how to be a qualified prince. I am so annoyed that I don’t even want to go."
Zhou Chen really doesn't know how to describe Mu Qing. Call him stupid. In fact, he is not stupid. Call him not stupid, but sometimes his brain is lacking.
Emperor Liang asked him to go to Jinling. Obviously, he wanted him to be a "proton" to control Mu Nihuang.
Emperor Liang was originally afraid of the power of the Red Flame Army. Now Princess Nihuang is slightly less powerful than Lin Xie, but she still makes Emperor Liang very afraid.
However, the difference between Princess Nihuang and the Lin family is that the Lin family not only has Lin Xie and Lin Shu, but also a King Qi. They are really likely to threaten Emperor Liang's status, so Emperor Liang will kill them quickly.
Although Princess Nihuang had military power and high prestige, she was not strong enough to challenge Emperor Liang for the throne. Therefore, although Emperor Liang was wary, he had not yet thought of killing her.
Speaking of which, the Lin family at that time did have some outstanding achievements, but they were also a bit too sharp, especially Lin Shu.
As long as Lin Shu was not so dazzling and was just an ordinary young man, Emperor Liang would not be so afraid of him. However, Lin Shu was even more dazzling than Lin Xie in his youth.
Just imagine the power of the Lin family at that time. Lin Xie was in charge of the most powerful Red Flame Army in Daliang. His nephew was the eldest son of the most prestigious emperor in the court, and he was also married to the only king in Daliang with a different surname, Prince Mu of Yunnan.
With such a huge power, let alone the extremely suspicious Emperor Liang, I am afraid that even if it were another emperor, he would not be able to sleep well at night.
As the supreme emperor in the world, how could he let his status be shaken?
The next day, Zhou Chen taught Mu Qing as before, except that he did not see Mu Nihuang again in the morning or noon.
At the end of the afternoon, Zhou Chen grabbed Mu Qing.
"Didn't you say you wanted to take me out for some fun yesterday? I'm about to leave, so let's go out together during this time?"
"Okay, of course it's no problem."
When Mu Qing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Mu Nihuang was usually very strict with him. Although he could go out, he was not allowed to touch many things. If he went out with Zhou Chen, he would have an excuse.
"Brother Yu, where do you want to go? I'm very familiar with this place."
Zhou Chen looked around and found no one, so he asked in a low voice: "I've been wanting to listen to music lately. Where is the biggest and best hook here?"
"Goulan? What is that? Why go to Goulan if you want to listen to music? We have musicians in our house." Mu Qing looked confused.
Zhou Chen said with a look of disdain: "Okay, Mu Qing, stop pretending. Goulan is a brothel, and they are all men. You are just pretending."
Mu Qing's eyes widened in vain and he shouted in shock: "Brothel?"
Seeing Mu Qing's expression, Zhou Chen quickly covered his mouth and cursed: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't know?"
Mu Qing broke away from Zhou Chen's hand and said incoherently: "You, Brother Yu, are you going to a brothel?"
"What's wrong? Can't you? Only you dudes are allowed to go, why can't I go?" Zhou Chen snorted coldly.
Mu Qing swallowed, looking nervous and excited at the same time: "Yu, Brother Yu, you, you really want to go to the brothel? Take, take me with you, okay?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He could see that Mu Qing was not pretending, which surprised him even more.
"No, Mu Qing, don't tell me that you have never been to Goulan despite your age?"
Mu Qing's face turned red and he said loudly: "I've never been to a brothel, right? I'm not as old as you. I'm not yet sixteen years old. Isn't it embarrassing to have never been to a brothel?"
"Tsk, tsk, you're not even sixteen yet. Do you know that those dandies in Jinling City are already regular visitors at the age of sixteen, and you haven't even been there yet? It seems like you have a very strict family upbringing."
Zhou Chen said this again, and Mu Qing's face turned redder.
"I'm just trying to keep myself clean."
"I think you just don't dare. Are you just afraid that your sister will find out and beat you? Or maybe you haven't developed well yet?"
"Chen Yu, I will be sixteen soon, and I can get married and have children, but you haven't grown up well."
It was a matter of a man's dignity. Even though Mu Qian was young, he was not willing to lose face and shout loudly at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen pushed away his spitting face: "Okay, since you haven't been there, my brother, I will take you to have a long experience today. What do you think? Do you dare to go?"
Mu Qing raised his head and shouted, unwilling to be outdone: "What am I afraid of? Just go."
But suddenly he glanced around with a stern look, and whispered: "But I have agreed that my sister cannot know about this matter. I am not afraid that my sister will say anything about me, but I am afraid of damaging your image in her mind.
, I’m doing it for your own good, understand?”
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, he's a little kid, he's just a coward, and he's still making excuses like this.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Mu Qing's body trembled, an excited look appeared on his face, and he was ready to follow Zhou Chen, but halfway there, he suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Yu, is the hook bar you mentioned expensive? Should we bring more money?"
"I told you that my brother will treat you today. You don't need to bring any money. You will be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun."
"Really? Brother Yu, you are such a good person."
…………
An hour later, Zhou Chen came to an ancient and luxuriously decorated gate.
"Ningxiang Pavilion, the name is quite good, and the environment looks good."
Zhou Chen looked at the bustling Ningxiang Pavilion. It was almost evening, and the streets in this area were all lit up, especially the lanterns in the Ningxiang Pavilion that were the most dazzling.
Along the way he came here and saw several hook-and-rollers, but what was different from those ones was that there were no gorgeous women greeting guests at the entrance of Ningxiang Pavilion. Instead, there were a few well-dressed young men greeting guests.
Taking steps, Zhou Chen was about to go in when he found that his clothes were being pulled. When he looked back, he saw Mu Qing cowering.
"Mu Qing, aren't you just hooking up and listening to music? Are you so scared that you are so cowardly?"
"I'm not scared, I'm just inexperienced. You're so arrogant just because you're a few years older than me. The first time you came to a place like this, you were definitely worse than me."
"Haha, just be brave. Let's go. We don't have to spend the night in a place like this. Let's just listen to music and look at the beauties."
"Really?"
"So much nonsense."
Zhou Chen pushed him directly and took him into Ningxiang Pavilion.
After half an hour, Mu Qing slowly let go, drank a small drink, listened to a ditty, and stared unblinkingly at the dancers performing their dance skills on the stage downstairs.
Zhou Chen drank some wine and ate candied snacks, and asked with a smile: "How is it here? Are you happy?"
Mu Qing thought straight: "Happy, happy, much happier than learning martial arts in class."
"Look at your potential, the dignified young prince Mu, you are just like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
Mu Qing was frightened and hurriedly begged: "Brother, Brother Yu, can you save some face for me and stop mentioning my identity as a young prince, okay?"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Zhou Chen threw away the remaining candied snacks in his hand and stood up: "You eat, drink and watch here first, and I'll go for a walk."
Mu Qing grabbed Zhou Chen and said, "Brother Yu, where are you going? You can't do anything sorry to my sister."
"Get away from me, your sister and I are innocent, and I don't have any thoughts towards her. Don't try to set her up for me."
After saying that, he threw Mu Qing away and said, "Just wait, I'll be back in a minute."
Mu Qing had no choice but to watch Zhou Chen leave. He had never been to a place like this, but it didn't mean he didn't understand anything. If Zhou Chen left him alone and left alone, it must be...
"Brother Yu, I usually think he can handle things well, but I didn't expect him to be so romantic and not a good person. It seems I'd better forget it because I can't bring him and my sister together."
"Well, it's decided... OK, if you dance well and play well, I'll give you another song."
In the next moment, he immediately forgot about his sister. What a sister and brother-in-law, it was none of his business.
An hour later, Zhou Chen returned to the dining room on the second floor feeling refreshed. He was still thinking about it on the way. I have to say that this girl from Ningxiang Pavilion is really good. The taste of the oiran just now, tsk tsk...
In short, all aspects of service are in place. The only problem is that the price is too expensive, which means he has money, otherwise he really can't afford it.
When Mu Qing came here for the first time, he was just a naive person. He spent a lot of money and just listened to the music and enjoyed the dancing without even touching Qing Guan'er's little hands.
"Brother Yu, this is such a good place. Are we coming again tomorrow?"
Zhou Chen looked at Mu Qing in shock, this kid didn't do anything today, how come he is more addicted than him who has done everything?
However, he still gave an affirmative answer: "Okay, but today it's my treat, and you can treat me tomorrow."
Mu Qing patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll treat you."
After the two of them went back, they both had a good sleep.
The next day, Mu Qing became diligent in studying, but from time to time he looked at the sun outside and muttered something.
Come down the mountain quickly, come down the mountain quickly, why don’t you go down the mountain yet...
Zhou Chen's hearing was so sharp that he heard Mu Qing's murmurs clearly, which made him twitch.
Mu Qing, the future Prince Mu, won't be led astray by him, right?
In the evening, Mu Qing had already arranged a carriage, and the two of them went to Ningxiang Pavilion again. The same courtesan from yesterday did not go back until Hai Hai.
This time it cost a lot of money again, but Mu Qing didn't feel bad at all. Instead, he chatted with Zhou Chen enthusiastically on the way back.
The point is, today he spent a lot of money to touch his little hands and hug his waist with Qing Guan'er who was playing music...
Looking at Mu Qing's high-spirited look, Zhou Chen knew that this boy had opened the door to a new world.
But when they went back today, it was not as calm as last night, because as soon as they entered Prince Mu's Mansion, they saw Mu Nihuang with a murderous face.
Zhou Chen and Mu Qing trembled in their hearts when they saw Mu Nihuang's face covered with frost. They both had something in their hearts.
"Sister, aren't you in the military camp? What, when did you come back?"
Mu Nihuang's cold eyes swept over Zhou Chen and then landed on Mu Qing's face.
"Qing'er, where have you been and why have you only come back now?"
"I, we, we didn't go anywhere, I..."
Mu Qing hurriedly wanted to explain, but he hesitated and did not dare to tell what was going on. However, Zhou Chen spoke at this time.
"We went to Ningxiang Pavilion."
"Ningxiang Pavilion?"
Although Mu Nihuang is a woman and has never been to those places, it does not mean that she does not understand. As soon as she heard the name, she knew it was not a good place, so her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Mu Qing!"
Mu Qing's body trembled, and Zhou Chen saw that his posture was wrong and quickly left.
"Princess, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, he ran away regardless of Mu Nihuang's reaction, let alone Mu Qing's pleading eyes.
Mu Nihuang ignored Zhou Chen and stared at Mu Qing coldly.
"Mu Qing, you are really brave now. Brother Chen is our guest, and you actually took him to a place like that."
"Sister, it's actually not me..."
Mu Qing wanted to say that this was not his idea, but Mu Nihuang wouldn't listen at all and shouted angrily.
"You are not allowed to sleep tonight. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel."
"elder sister……"
"Go now, don't let me do it myself."
Mu Qing was so frightened that he no longer dared to speak. He could only hold his head and went to the ancestral hall in grievance.
Mu Qing knelt in the ancestral hall all night and naturally couldn't go to class the next day. Zhou Chen also had a relaxing day of rest.
At midnight, Zhou Chen did not fall asleep. Instead, he stood in the room neatly dressed. He looked around the bedroom where he had lived for a few days, then placed an envelope on the desk and pressed it with an inkstone.
.
Carrying the bag he had already packed on his back, he opened the door without hesitation, directly raised his inner strength, and flew into the air. With only two ups and downs, he was about to fly out of Prince Mu's Mansion.
But just when he was about to jump out of Prince Mu's palace, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother Chen, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Chen's body stiffened suddenly and he landed on the wall, and then he saw Mu Nihuang standing outside the wall.
He laughed dryly and asked: "Princess, it's so late and you haven't rested yet. Are you like me, planning to stay up late to watch the sunrise?"
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen with bright eyes. Even in the dark night, Zhou Chen could feel her sharp gaze.
"Do you need to carry such a big package to watch the sunrise? Brother Chen, I think your view of the sunrise is fake. Is it true that you want to leave without saying goodbye?"
Zhou Chen knew that sophistry was useless, so he stopped defending. After a moment of silence, he said: "Princess, I know it is not good to do this, but I do have a reason to leave. If I offend the princess, then
It's my fault, and I would like to apologize."
Mu Nihuang asked in a cold tone: "Brother Chen left overnight because Nihuang made Brother Chen feel embarrassed?"
Zhou Chen smiled dryly and said: "What did the princess say? I admire the princess's heavenly appearance, so how can I feel embarrassed."
"Brother Chen has been deliberately avoiding me these past few days. Do you really think I can't tell? If I said that I wanted you to stay in Prince Mu's Mansion, would you be willing?"
Speaking of this, Mu Nihuang's voice obviously changed strangely, and his eyes were full of expectation.
The topic was raised like this, Zhou Chen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"It is my honor that the princess looks up to me, but I was born a prodigal and will not stay in one place forever. Moreover, I am just a man in the world, and I am not worthy of the princess's favor."
"So you deliberately took Qing'er to that kind of place to let me know what kind of person you are and make me hate you, right? But don't you think this strategy is too absurd?
?”
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. He admitted that he took Mu Qing to Goulan to listen to music, and he did mean to show it to Mu Nihuang, but the oiran of Ningxiang Pavilion was really sweet.
"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing. Chen Yu, let me tell you, I, Mu Nihuang, am not someone who is easily deceived. Your approach is of no use to me. If you really want to reject me, then give me a better reason.
, let me give up completely." Mu Nihuang said firmly.
Zhou Chen almost blurted out: "I can't be sorry, little..."
Before he could say the last word, he immediately stopped. His heart beat faster in fright, and he was almost tricked by Mu Nihuang into saying Xiao Shu's name.
Mu Nihuang keenly felt that what Zhou Chen didn't say was important, and asked: "You can't be sorry for what?"
Zhou Chen said: "I already have someone I love. What I want to say is that I can't be sorry to her."
Mu Nihuang's body trembled, she looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, jumped up, and landed less than two meters away from Zhou Chen.
"You said you already have someone you love? You are lying to me."
"I didn't lie to you, I do have someone I love."
"Impossible. The fact that you are ranked second on the list of Langya Masters means that you are not married..."
Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted: "Just because I'm not married doesn't mean I don't have someone I love."
Mu Nihuang obviously couldn't accept this result, and her breath became unstable. After a long time, she asked in a solemn voice: "I want to know, who is she?"
She still had a glimmer of hope, but Zhou Chen deliberately made up the reason just to make her give up.
Zhou Chen saw Mu Nihuang's expression, and with Mu Nihuang's intelligence and sensitivity, he knew that if he told lies, he would most likely be betrayed.
"Her name is Gong Yu. I have known her for five years. Whenever I come home from traveling, she is responsible for taking care of me. No matter what I do outside, she will support me unconditionally, so even if I lose everything
People will definitely not let her down."
After hearing this, Mu Nihuang's chest rose and fell, and her breath became more unstable. After a long time, she let out a low cry.
"Let's go, I don't want to see you again."
Although Zhou Chen couldn't bear it, he still gritted his teeth and quickly disappeared into the night.
He believed that Mu Nihuang would be sad for a while at most. This woman was stronger than most men. This thing about him and this person would definitely not affect her for long.
He left overnight because he was afraid that if he continued to get along with Mu Nihuang, he would sink into it. He couldn't let Mei Changsu go.
Sometimes he feels that he is hypocritical, but there are some bottom lines that he must abide by.
Mu Nihuang clenched her hands and gritted her teeth. Even her lips were bleeding and she didn't care.
"Chen Yu, Gong Yu, Gong Ziyu, is that so?"
………………
Two years later!
In two years, whether it is long or short, a lot of things have happened in the world.
With the help of Langya Pavilion, the name of Jiangzuo Meilang has spread all over the world in the past two years. With the deliberate propaganda of Jiangzuo League, it has even spread to Jinling.
Especially among the princes of Northern Yan, the sixth prince with the least background ascended to the throne of the East Palace with the help of Jiangzuo Meilang.
This immediately stimulated the Crown Prince and Prince Yu of Daliang, who were competing for the position of the East Palace, and both of them began to inquire about the information about the 'Qilin Talented Man, Jiangzuo Meilang', thinking of recruiting Mei Changsu to their ranks.
Langzhou, Jiangzuo League headquarters.
In the pavilion, Mei Changsu and Lin Chen were sitting on the floor, sipping tea.
Lin Chen was still the same as before, dressed casually, with his hair disheveled, looking like a bohemian young man.
Mei Changsu was wearing a gray-white high-collar cloth. Although he was the leader of the Jiangzuo League and had no shortage of money, he didn't care about his own dress or how to make it comfortable. What mattered more was keeping warm.
Lin Chen asked: "Chang Su, have you really decided to go to Beijing with Xiao Jingrui and the other two young masters?"
Mei Changsu replied slowly: "The two of them have noble status and are not involved in government affairs, so it is most suitable. This matter must have a beginning. If I don't go with them, am I expected to accept the offer from the Crown Prince and Prince Yu?"
Recruit and come to Beijing as a counselor?"
Lin Chen worriedly said: "Xiao Jingrui did not participate in the fight for the legitimate son, but his father, Ning Guohou Xie Yu, did not. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to live directly in Xie's Mansion? Have you discussed this matter with your junior brother?
