Chapter 441: Stupid or not, but still running up the mountain
"I heard that the wild beasts there were rioting and hurting people everywhere." The gatekeeper said, "The prince took Mr. Lu and others and rushed over to check the situation."
Mu Siyu responded: "Thank you."
Sitting on the carriage, the more Mu Siyu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. How could the animals on the mountain be rioting? They were not short of food, and they were not at the point where they could not survive.
"No! No!" Mu Siyu said to herself, "Is there something unusual over there at Zhongming Mountain?"
"Madam, what's wrong?" Zisu asked.
"Let's go to Zhongming Mountain." Mu Siyu said.
There is chaos at the foot of Zhongming Mountain. The people who originally lived here are missing, and the entire village is in ruins. Wild animals are biting poultry here, and many poultry have become their meals.
When Fan Yuanxi and others arrived, they saw this scene and immediately arrested the beasts.
"I want to live." Fan Yuanxi said calmly.
"My lord, these are ferocious beasts..." the second master said nervously.
"Don't worry, Second Master, we have a way to deal with it." Fan Yuanxi's confidant said, "This is a medicinal powder specially designed to deal with ferocious beasts. Just sprinkle it between their noses and they will fall down in a few breaths."
With the help of the medicinal powder, those ferocious beasts were quickly controlled.
"Your Majesty," Lu Yi came over, "something's not right."
"What's wrong?" Fan Yuanxi asked.
"There is a strange smell on these ferocious beasts." Lu Yi said, "Their madness is not accidental, but man-made."
"Man-made..." Fan Yuanxi said coldly, "It seems that someone has gone to great lengths for this king. First they put stones into the porridge, and then they attacked these animals."
"Your Majesty likes ferocious beasts. There was once a popular rumor in Suzhou City that people are inferior to beasts. Now these ferocious beasts are going crazy. If it is spread by people who are interested, it means that the prince has killed too much and the ferocious beasts are preparing for revenge.
As for the people in the entire Suzhou city and even several nearby cities, the prince died in the hands of the ferocious beast, and all he got was a few sighs from the court."
Mu Siyu got off the carriage.
Seeing the blood all over the floor, worry flashed in her eyes.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yi held her hand.
"I heard that you were coming to Zhongming Mountain. I was worried so I came to take a look." Mu Siyu said, "It's not an accident that these animals went crazy, right? Have you found anything?"
Mo Wuyi looked at the couple.
She was indeed very smart, and even King Zhong looked at her with special eyes. She had a calm temperament about her, and no matter what she saw, it seemed that nothing could cause her panic, as if she had long been accustomed to strange things.
"These ferocious beasts smell of medicine, as if they were controlled by someone." Lu Yi said, "I'm afraid someone did it deliberately."
"The ferocious beasts are going crazy, and even a master can't control them. If that person wants to control so many ferocious beasts, it's impossible to control them one by one, so there must be some secret on the mountain."
"General, I'm going to take a look." Su Sheng said.
"I'll go too," Lu Yi said, "The general is very skilled, but he's not good at investigating cases."
"What Mr. Lu is saying is that this general is just a warrior, and I have to trouble you to investigate the case." Su Sheng said, "Then let's go now? It's too late, and maybe there will be no clues."
"I am waiting for you at the foot of the mountain." Fan Yuanxi said calmly.
"yes."
Mu Siyu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fan Yuanxi.
"Mrs. Lu, just stay here with me and wait for them to come down the mountain! If you follow, Master Lu only has eyes for you, so how can you find clues?"
Lu Yi patted the back of Mu Siyu's hand: "Be good, I'll be back soon."
No one else has ever seen such a gentle Lu Yi. He only belongs to his wife and children.
Su Sheng's eyes were full of appreciation.
A man who cares about the people, is not afraid of power, and most importantly has a deep affection for his family, can be called a rare good official.
After Lu Yi and others left, Mu Siyu followed Fan Yuanxi.
"Your Majesty, the people in the village should not have gone far, let's find them back!"
Fan Yuanxi said calmly: "When things here are resolved, they will come back on their own. I don't have such a kind heart, and I want to invite them back."
"This can also improve the prince's reputation!"
"What is my reputation?"
Mu Siyu shut up.
She thought to herself: You don’t know what your reputation is, and you want others to remind you?
"Who wants to harm you? You don't have much power in the court." As soon as Mu Siyu finished speaking, she noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and turned around to see Fan Yuanxi looking at her with a half-smile.
She shut up immediately.
"I have offended many people in the capital. Many people want to take this opportunity to take revenge, so there are also many people who want to harm me. If your man follows me, you have to be careful about his life."
"My lord, he protects you so much, you should keep him safe, right?" Mu Siyu smiled, "We can be considered old friends."
"Friend?" Fan Yuanxi leaned there, holding his chin with his fingers, "If I remember correctly, when you first met me, your face looked like a ghost and your legs were shaking. How dare you talk to me?
The king's friendship is really for the sake of his own man, and he doesn't even give up his face."
"You still remember things so long ago so clearly. It's a pity that you didn't take the exam to gain fame with such a good memory." Mu Siyu muttered.
"I can hear you." Fan Yuanxi came over and said, "Mrs. Lu, are you becoming more bold?"
Mu Siyu smiled: "I'm praising the prince."
"Your Majesty, there is someone who claims to be a villager here and is sneaking around outside." His subordinate reported.
"Bring him in." Fan Yuanxi said calmly.
His subordinates brought in a young man.
The young man knelt there and trembled: "I have met the prince."
"Are you a villager here?"
"yes."
"Where are the people in your village?"
"Because there was a wild beast attack, everyone hid." The young man said, "There is a hiding place under the ancestral hall. If anything happens, people from our village will hide there."
"Then tell them that there is no danger here and they can come out." Fan Yuanxi said calmly, "Come here after you come out. I have something to ask."
"yes."
The young man was taken to the ancestral hall.
Mu Siyu looked towards the mountains.
"Lu Yi is extremely smart, nothing will happen to him." Fan Yuanxi said, "We have to go west this time. We will return to the capital by water in about half a month. Do you want to come with us?"
"This is too sudden, and my children are still young, so I'm afraid they won't be able to run around with them." Mu Siyu was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she still felt it was too risky.
Originally, they had official duties this time and encountered a lot of troubles along the way. If she followed with a few more children, she would only become a drag on Lu Yi.
"Then you can continue to separate the two places!" Fan Yuanxi said calmly, "There are a lot of people staring at your men. Don't be in charge, right?"
Mo Wuwei: "..."
She has decided to give up, can you please stop pointing the finger at her?
