Chapter 831 Shocking the Capital City, the Wise Nihuang
"Sister Nihuang."
Seeing Mu Nihuang appear, Yan Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and shouted.
Mu Nihuang asked with concern: "Yujin, I heard you were also injured? How is the injury?"
Yan Yujin said: "I'm okay, but Brother Yu was seriously injured. The assassin's martial arts are very powerful. If Brother Yu hadn't been here, both Little Prince Mu and I might have suffered."
Mu Qing also agreed: "Yes, sister, that assassin is too scary. If Brother Yu hadn't saved my life, what you see now would be my body."
Mu Nihuang glanced at Mu Qing with a distressed look, but quickly put on a serious face: "Who told you not to go back at night and come to a place like this? If you hadn't come here, would this kind of thing still happen? Mu
Qing, I warn you, you are not allowed to come to this kind of place again."
Mu Qing was very frightened today, but when he heard Mu Nihuang said that he would not be allowed to come here in the future, he immediately became anxious.
"Sister, I really wasn't the one who came today, it was Yu..."
Before he could say anything, he felt Zhou Chen's death gaze, and thought of Zhou Chen's rescue just now, and he could no longer say the following words.
After training Mu Qing, Mu Nihuang's eyes fell on Zhou Chen again, especially when he saw Zhou Chen's injury, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Chen Yu, how are you?"
"Fortunately, I can't die." Zhou Chen replied with a grin.
Mu Nihuang waved behind her, and a doctor carrying a medical kit came forward.
"Help him check his injuries."
Zhou Chen glanced at Mu Qing in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy, who was both rough and thin, could still think of asking someone to bring a doctor over in such a chaotic situation just now.
This time Zhou Chen did not stop him and allowed the doctor brought by Mu Nihuang to examine the wound.
After a while, the doctor checked Zhou Chen's wound, and Mu Nihuang immediately asked: "How is it?"
The doctor answered truthfully: "Princess, this young master's pulse is very strange. It is strong and powerful, far beyond ordinary people. It should be due to internal strength. I don't know much about this aspect. However, the sword wound on his abdomen was only a few points away."
It will damage the internal organs, but fortunately, the young master is in good physical condition, so it will not be fatal. However, it will take time to rest and recover. As for the hands and back, there are external skin injuries."
Mu Nihuang listened very carefully. After confirming that Zhou Chen was not in danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qing'er, Yujin, take him with you and let's go."
Mu Qing and Yan Yujin immediately helped Zhou Chen up from left to right and prepared to leave the private room.
Suddenly a man in official uniform came over and said urgently: "Princess Princess, Prince, the matter here has not been settled yet, and the person concerned cannot leave for the time being."
Mu Nihuang's face turned cold: "Who are you?"
The man replied: "I am the Prime Minister of Dali Temple..."
But before Mu Nihuang could finish his words, he said coldly: "I don't care whether you are from Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. If you want to find someone to inquire, ask your boss to come to my palace, Prince Mu."
After saying that, he ignored the ugly look on the man's face and walked straight forward. The frightened man quickly ducked away.
Mu Qing even thought he was in the way, walked to the side and pushed him away.
"Did you have a sharp eye and didn't you see that my Brother Yu was injured? I also want to ask, who gave you the courage?"
Thinking that the only king with a different surname in his majesty had just been assassinated again, he was very angry. A little Dali Temple minister dared to block his way. He was really blind.
The Dali Temple Prime Minister's face turned red, but he did not dare to say a word. The commander of the patrol battalion next to him, who had come to guard the red sleeves, sneered disdainfully.
None of the commanders of the patrol battalion dared to come forward. You, a Dali Temple prime minister, still can't figure out the situation. All these years of officialdom have been wasted.
Zhou Chen got on the carriage, and sitting next to him was Mu Nihuang, which made him very uncomfortable. He originally wanted Mu Qing and Yan Yujin to sit with him, but he didn't expect these two people to be so unloyal.
After arriving at Mu Nihuang, I immediately became intimidated.
Therefore, as a wounded man, he had no choice but to ride in a carriage with Mu Nihuang.
But it didn't take long for him to realize something was wrong.
"Princess, isn't this the road to Ning Guohou's Mansion? Where are we going?"
Mu Nihuang said: "Of course we are going to Prince Mu's Mansion."
Zhou Chen's face turned even paler and he said anxiously: "How can this be done, Princess? I'm not going to Prince Mu's Mansion. I'm going to Xie's Mansion. Please ask someone to send me to Xie's Mansion."
Mu Nihuang's expression did not change, and she said slowly: "Going to Xie's Mansion is just like living under someone else's roof. How can I not feel as comfortable as coming to Prince Mu's Mansion? I am just repaying your help in the south, and I have no other intention, so you also
Don’t think too much.”
"Princess, it's better not to bother me, right? I can stay with Brother Su, so I won't bother Princess." Zhou Chen still declined.
"How about I send you to Miaoyinfang? Send you to Miss Gong Yu to take care of you?"
"fair enough."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Nihuang glanced over with a knife-like gaze.
"What you are thinking is quite beautiful, but don't dream about it. I took you back to my house for treatment because you saved Qing'er. When you are healed, you can go wherever you fall in love, but here
Before, you could only stay in Prince Mu's Mansion."
Having said that he was offered the job, Zhou Chen knew that he could not refuse. If he refused again, it would really embarrass Mu Nihuang, and he would not be able to get along with her in the future.
"Then, thank you very much, Princess."
After a while, Mu Nihuang asked about what had just happened in Hong Xiu Zhao.
"What happened to the assassination by Hong Xiuzhao? I see you didn't drink much. How could you be attacked by someone and be injured so seriously? Is the assassin's martial arts very strong?"
Zhou Chen had already known something in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "I was really unprepared at the time, but the assassin was able to sneak into my side, and I only discovered it after he took action. The other party was very good at hiding himself. Later, I was tricked, and I told him again
After fighting each other, we found that this person has a strong swordsmanship and strong internal strength. He does not look like an ordinary killer. At least he has the strength of Langya Master List."
Mu Nihuang stared thoughtfully: "In the capital, there are not many people with the strength of Langya's master list, and even fewer people who are good at swordsmanship. Who will be the assassin? What is his purpose?"
Zhou Chen said: "I don't know about this. Among the three people at that time, I had the lowest status. If I wanted to kill Mu Qing and Yujin, I should kill them. What's the point of killing me, a Jianghu man? The only thing I can think of is today
I went to the palace and asked me to attend the palace banquet tomorrow. Maybe I was hindering someone."
After hearing this, Mu Nihuang's eyes flashed, and she also felt that this was a possibility.
"To be able to instruct a master who is not weaker than Langya master list to assassinate, this person must have a very high status. Who could it be? The prince? King Yu?"
The prince and Prince Yu have always wanted to win over her, and she knew it, but she didn't like them at all, so she never had contact with them.
Anyway, she is in the southern border and has a hundred thousand cavalry in her hands. No matter who of the two takes the throne, they will need Prince Mu's palace. It would be a stupid move for her to be the team.
But this time she returned to the capital and was forced by Emperor Liang to choose a son-in-law. This gave the prince and King Yu an opportunity, and they both wanted their own people to win, so if it was really like what Zhou Chen thought
In that case, the two of them do have this motive.
"I couldn't have guessed this. If I had known that Jinling City was so dangerous, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun." Zhou Chen complained with an unhappy look on his face.
Mu Nihuang changed the topic and asked: "Then what is your purpose in coming to Jinling?"
Zhou Chen said: "What else can I do? I just naturally traveled here. I thought I had a good friend in Jinling, so I stopped by to have a look. I didn't expect to get involved in such a troublesome thing. Oh, I regret it."
Mu Nihuang didn't believe Zhou Chen's words at all, so it happened that he came to Jinling to visit friends at this time?
"Hmph, if you hadn't gone to that kind of place today, how could you have given assassins an opportunity to take advantage of it? I advise you to avoid going to such shady places in the future."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Seeing Zhou Chen's way of dealing with this, Mu Nihuang was very angry. She was usually a very serious person, but every time she saw Zhou Chen's unsparing look, she would get angry for no reason. She always felt that Zhou Chen did it on purpose.
I'm pretending to be with her.
Before entering Prince Mu's Mansion, Zhou Chen called Yan Yujin over and asked him to go to Xie Mansion to explain the situation. He also told Mei Changsu that he was now in Prince Mu's Mansion, so that Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingrui did not have to worry.
Yan Yujin didn't hesitate after hearing Zhou Chen's words, and immediately said goodbye to them and rushed to Xie's Mansion.
Although he was hit twice and his energy and blood surged, but after such a long time, he had recovered almost completely through exercises and healing, and there was no serious problem.
When he arrived at Prince Mu's Mansion, Zhou Chen originally thought that Mu Nihuang would say something to him, but he didn't expect that after she entered the mansion, she handed him over to Mu Qing. Mu Qing arranged him into a guest room and even found him a few times.
He was served by a doctor and asked to diagnose and treat him.
In the Xie Mansion, Mei Changsu waited for a long time but did not see Zhou Chen. As he was wondering, Yan Yujin came with Xiao Jingrui and told him the news that Zhou Chen had been taken back by people from Prince Mu's Mansion.
When Mei Changsu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
They calculated over and over again, but they didn't take this into account. He believed that Zhou Chen definitely didn't want to go there, and he must have been taken to Prince Mu's Mansion because he had no way to shirk.
He sighed in his heart. Although he felt uncomfortable, he could also see that Mu Nihuang, who had always followed him when he was a child, was no longer the little girl who needed his protection. Thinking about himself, she was no longer the same girl as before.
That talented young man Lin Shu.
The night was very long, because the assassination incident of Hong Xiuzhao involved Prince Mu's Mansion and Yan Mansion, which made all three offices in the capital very busy.
…………
The next day, the palace became busy early, because today the emperor was going to entertain envoys from various countries and the young talents who made it into the top ten at the son-in-law selection conference. It was considered the most solemn event in recent times. Naturally, it would be very busy inside and outside the palace.
Emperor Liang got up early in the morning and after dinner, Eunuch Gao cautiously reported.
"Your Majesty, Commander Meng has been waiting outside early in the morning."
Emperor Liang was stunned and said in surprise: "Why did he come to me if he didn't go on duty?"
Eunuch Gao whispered: "It seems that something big happened in the capital last night."
"Something big happened?"
Emperor Liang became even more confused, then waved his hand: "I understand, let Meng Qing come in."
After Meng Zhi came in, he immediately saluted and then, under Emperor Liang's questioning, told what happened in the capital last night.
When Emperor Liang heard this, he became furious: "What did you say? Gong Ziyu was assassinated and seriously injured. He can't come to the palace today?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, because at that time it was not just Gong Ziyu, but also Prince Mu and the young masters of the Yanhou family. Yesterday, the patrol camp and the Sansi Yamen went to the scene. The place where the incident occurred is still under lockdown, and it is only for one night.
In the past, no trace of the assassin was found."
"Early this morning, I also went to Prince Mu's Mansion. I met Gong Ziyu and checked his injuries. It is true that his injuries are serious. It will be difficult to recover within a month or two."
Emperor Liang was furious: "In the capital city, the assassin is so arrogant and dares to ruin my important affairs. He deserves death."
Long Yan was furious, and Meng Zhi immediately nodded without daring to say a word.
After being furious, Emperor Liang began to think about it. Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were not seriously injured, but Gong Ziyu was seriously injured. This made him think that the assassin was targeting Gong Ziyu.
"It seems that the assassin assassinated Gong Ziyu most likely for today's incident."
Meng Zhi also agreed: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks so too, but Wei Chen feels that the assassin can seriously injure Gong Ziyu and injure Mr. Yan and Mr. Mu. His strength is extraordinary. There are people with such force in the capital.
Very few."
Emperor Liang looked gloomy and snorted coldly: "It seems that some people have become more and more bold recently. They dare to be so wanton in my capital. I will not forgive you. I decree that the Sansi Yamen will do their best to investigate, and the people behind the scenes must be revealed."
Someone caught him out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Gao responded, and then ordered people to convey the will.
Meng Zhi asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, without Gong Ziyu, how will today's palace banquet be conducted?"
Emperor Liang's head hurt again, and he cursed: "This Young Master Yu, I have high hopes for him and let him enter the palace today. He dared to go to that place last night. Sure enough, he couldn't get there."
You are a young person on the stage."
He didn't care at all whether Gong Ziyu was seriously injured or dead. What he cared about was that Zhou Chen's injury ruined his big event. This was the reason for his anger.
It's just that the decree has been issued a long time ago, and he can't refuse the palace banquet just for Zhou Chen, so he can only bite the bullet and continue.
Zhou Chen rinsed his mouth and washed his face under the service of the maid. Before he could eat, he saw Mu Qing wandering over.
"You didn't go to the palace for the banquet?"
Seeing Mu Qing, Zhou Chen asked in surprise, because Mu Nihuang had already left at this time, but Mu Qing was still at home.
Mu Qing looked depressed: "Where are we going? I was ready, but my sister insisted on letting me take care of you at home and refused to let me go to the palace. Alas."
"What do you mean by this expression? You don't want to take care of me, and I don't want you to take care of me yet. Get out of here. The palace banquet hasn't started yet, and you still have time to go there. Aren't you worried about your sister's life-long affairs?"
"Then it's okay for you to be alone?"
Of course Mu Qing wanted to go, but she was worried that Zhou Chen would be here alone.
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, can the assassin still come to your Prince Mu's Mansion to assassinate you?"
"Does he dare? If he dares to come, I will let him know how powerful I am."
"Okay, you go as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, it will be too late."
In the end, Mu Qing was still concerned about his sister's marriage and hurried to the palace by car.
Zhou Chen originally thought about taking the opportunity to leave Prince Mu's Mansion, but he thought that Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu must have gone to the palace at this time. It would not be good for him to go to Xie's Mansion with his injured body.
As for Miaoyinfang, he wanted to go, but he was afraid that Gong Yu would be very sad when he saw that he was injured. Women's tears were more powerful to him than swords.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Mu Nihuang hadn't been found much from last night to today, so he decided to wait a few days for his injury to get better before looking for Gong Yu. By then, Gong Yu would definitely have bought it.
house.
In the evening, Mu Qing and Mu Nihuang returned to the palace. As soon as Mu Qing came back, he ran to Zhou Chen, along with Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mei Changsu.
Yan Yujin and Mu Qing were the most lively. You told them what happened in the palace today.
Because Zhou Chen was injured in advance and did not go, so without his involvement, what happened in the palace today was similar to the TV series.
First, Xiao Jingrui challenged Baili Qi, and then with Mu Nihuang's deliberate cooperation, Mei Changsu successfully fished Xiao Tingsheng out of Yeyouting.
Zhou Chen felt relieved when he learned that everything went smoothly.
If it weren't for the fact that the system's main mission was exactly the same as Mei Changsu's plan, which was to overturn the case during Emperor Liang's reign, to be honest, he really wanted to assassinate Emperor Liang directly with his sword, thinking of the time he had just traveled through time and the subsequent pain he suffered.
, even giving Emperor Liang a Lingchi execution would not be an exaggeration.
Mei Changsu and the others did not stay in Prince Mu's Mansion for long. Knowing that Zhou Chen was still safe, they left with peace of mind.
But after dinner, Mu Nihuang came to Zhou Chen's training room.
"Princess Princess."
Princess Nihuang stood not far from Zhou Chen's bed, looked directly at Zhou Chen, and suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Mr. Su?"
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"
Mu Nihuang snorted coldly: "Do you really think I am a fool? In the past two years, I have been investigating you a lot in order to find you. If I am not wrong, even if you are not from the Jiangzuo Alliance, you must be related to Su
I have a very good relationship with you sir.”
"Why do you guess so?" Zhou Chen was not that surprised.
"Before you came to the southern border, you were in Jiangzuo. Later, I investigated your information and found that although you traveled to various countries, the place where you appeared most often was still Jiangzuo. When you first came to the capital, you also behaved like Mr. Su.
It looks very familiar.”
"That's all?"
"Of course not. I couldn't understand it at first, but what happened at the palace banquet today suddenly made me understand a lot of things. Your injury this time is too strange. His Majesty just planned to let you replace the top ten in the son-in-law selection meeting.
On the eve of killing someone, you were assassinated. This is somewhat too coincidental;"
"Together with what happened in the palace today, Mr. Su's behavior is also very strange. Although I don't know what you are planning, I can be sure that your relationship with him is definitely unusual. When you come to the capital, there must be something else.
the goal of."
Mu Nihuang slowly expressed her suspicions. In fact, when she saw Zhou Chen's wounds yesterday, something was definitely wrong.
Two years ago, Zhou Chen's martial arts was a step higher than his, and it will only get stronger two years later. Zhou Chen has traveled around the world for many years and has extremely rich experience. Who in the capital can assassinate him at such a close range?
After all, she is also on the Langya master list, and her knowledge of martial arts is much better than others.
Zhou Chen remained silent. Mu Nihuang's reaction was really beyond his expectation. She was worthy of being a peerless female commander who could command a hundred thousand cavalry and guard the southern border for ten years.
"What, you still don't want to admit it? Or do you think I will betray you?"
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and realized that even if he denied it, he might not be able to dispel Mu Nihuang's doubts.
"Of course I know you won't betray me. You are right. Brother Su and I are indeed good friends. Strictly speaking, I am also a member of the Jiangzuo Alliance. We did have other purposes in going to Beijing.
But I am just an assistant, Brother Su is the planner, I will not betray him, if you want to know more, go find him."
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen for a long time, and finally said: "You didn't lie to me, which makes me very satisfied. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs, but I want to tell you, no matter what you want
What to do, the water in the capital is very deep, saving your life is more important than anything else."
"I cherish my life even more than you said, but..."
Zhou Chen shook his head and did not say any more. Some things had to be done. If he didn't plan it, Mei Changsu would have to do it.
After this conversation, Mu Nihuang did not come to see Zhou Chen again in the next few days.
The Red Sleeves assassination incident is still under investigation, but King Yu took action behind the scenes, making the investigation much quieter.
It was not until five days later that Mei Changsu used three young men to defeat Beiyan's Bai Qi and became famous.
When Mu Nihuang returned to the palace, she learned from her younger brother Mu Qing that Zhou Chen left a letter and disappeared.
Thinking that two years ago, Zhou Chen also left without saying goodbye, Mu Nihuang was so angry that she tore up Zhou Chen's letter.
After Zhou Chen left Mu Mansion, he came to Miaoyinfang.
"Sir, are your injuries healed?"
As soon as Gong Yu saw Zhou Chen, her eyes turned red. She wanted to hug Zhou Chen excitedly, but she was afraid of touching Zhou Chen's wounds.
As early as a few days ago, she had already learned from Mr. Thirteen that it was Zhou Chen who was assassinated in Hongxiu Zhao a few days ago, and he was also injured.
Although Mr. Thirteen said that Zhou Chen was fine, she was still nervous for several days. She had been in low spirits these days. She wanted to sneak into Prince Mu's Mansion to find Zhou Chen several times, but she was afraid of ruining Zhou Chen's plan.
, in the end I could only endure my worries and longings, and wait silently.
Zhou Chen reached out and took Gong Yu into his arms. He didn't come here in the first place because he was afraid that Gong Yu would be worried. He also felt heartbroken when he thought that Gong Yu had been worried about him these days.
"Don't be sad. Didn't I come back well? I have been unable to escape these days, so I didn't come to tell you that I was safe. Don't blame me."
Gong Yu shook his head: "As long as you are fine, Master, it's fine with me."
"Silly girl."
Zhou Chen hugged Gong Yu tighter. This woman was so stupid that it made people feel bad.
