Chapter 893 [Battle of Kuangbei, the world is peaceful] eight
Mu Linfeng was sitting in a pavilion in the lake in the imperial garden of the palace, holding a tea cup in his hand. Wang Zhizhen, Shi Kefa, and Hong Chengchou were standing on both sides. Two people were kneeling outside the pavilion. One was lying motionless on the ground with his head bowed. It was Zhong Bin.
The other one looked at Mu Linfeng coldly, it was Tokugawa Ietaka.
Although it was still early summer, the two people were already soaked by the sun. Wang Zhizhen, Shi Kefa and Hong Chengchou stood quietly. Mu Linfeng had not said a word to them since Tokugawa Jiataka and Zhong Bin were taken.
None of the three could guess what Mu Linfeng was thinking at this moment..
At this time, a gust of cool wind blew by, which felt particularly comfortable on the body. After Mu Linfeng took a sip of tea, he stood up, glanced at Tokugawa Jiataka and Zhong Bin outside the pavilion, and then said: "Could it be that you two just
Don’t you have anything to say?”
After Tokugawa Jiataka glanced at Mu Linfeng, he said coldly: "If you want to kill me, kill me, don't let the cat cry like a mouse! Today's defeat is because I trusted the wrong person..."
Zhong Bin knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, I can't help you. I just want to die. I beg you to fulfill your wish. Don't let Bin'er be embarrassed here again!"
After Mu Linfeng took a look at it, he walked to the lake, picked up the fish food from the jade railing, and while scattering the fish food into the pond, he asked Wang Zhizhen beside him: "Master Wang, what do you think should be done with these two people?"
?”
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly stood respectfully beside Mu Linfeng, and then he raised his hands and said: "Sir, after all, this matter is your family matter, I'm afraid..." He raised his head and glanced at it.
After a look on his face, he continued: "I'm afraid it's hard to say anything..."
Mu Linfeng threw all the fish food in his hands into the pond, clapped his hands, and then turned to look at Wang Zhizhen. After a long time, he said: "These two are my brothers-in-law, and you, Mr. Wang, are also mine.
Brother-in-law, Mr. Wang, you..." After saying this, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you..."
As Mu Linfeng spoke, he turned to look at Shi Kefa who was standing aside and said, "Master Shi, I asked you to pass on Chen Dahan, why haven't you passed it on yet?"
Hearing this, Shi Kefa immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I've been sending people there for a long time...I'm going to send people there again..."
Mu Linfeng waved his hand at this time and said: "No need..." As he said that, he looked to the side of the imperial garden and saw a man walking in front of an arch with his head bowed. He walked to Tokugawa Jiataka and Zhong Bin, and immediately
He knelt down on the ground and then bowed his head and said: "The guilty minister Chen Dahan is here to greet you, sir!"
Mu Linfeng glanced at Chen Dahan, but said calmly: "General Chen is the hero of the Nanjing battle, what crime is he guilty of?"
Chen Dahan leaned on the ground and said without moving: "Sir, if the guilty minister hadn't failed to carry out your orders, I'm afraid Tokugawa Ietaka wouldn't have caused trouble. The guilty minister really deserves to die..."
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Dahan, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, then smiled slightly, walked to Chen Dahan, helped Chen Dahan up, held Chen Dahan's hand, and then said: "General Chen, Mu is here to find you, but
I’m not here to pursue those old things from adulthood, come here…”
As he spoke, Mu Linfeng pulled Chen Dahan closer to the garden pavilion. After pushing him to sit down, he said: "General Chen, sit down here now..." After saying that, he walked out of the garden pavilion again, leaving a face full of surprise.
The stunned Chen Dahan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead...
At this time, in the princess's bedroom in another corner of the harem of the palace, Zhu Yurao was dressed in bright royal clothes, but her face was gloomy, like a dying flower. A row of palace maids and a row of eunuchs stood in front of Zhu Yurao.
On both sides, head lowered...
These maids and eunuchs now have much greater responsibilities than before. In addition to serving Zhu Yuelao's food and daily life, they also have to watch Zhu Yuelao around the clock to prevent Zhu Yuelao from getting distracted. All of them, under Wang Zhizhen's secret order, watched Zhu Yuarao closely.
.
Zhu Yurao's every move was sent to Wang Zhizhen every day. Wang Zhizhen naturally didn't have any intentions. He just knew Mu Linfeng too well and knew that Mu Linfeng would never want to kill Zhu Yurao.
Zhu Yuluo stood up at this time, walked to the entrance of the palace, looked at the sky outside the palace, and after being stunned for a long time, she said calmly: "Is Master Mu really fully recovered?"
An eunuch behind him immediately took a step forward, walked respectfully behind Zhu Yulao, and then said: "Princess, I have indeed recovered, and you are also in the palace at the moment..." As he said this, he seemed to feel that he was talking too much, and quickly stepped back.
A few steps...
When Zhu Yurao heard this, her heart was indeed moved, and she immediately turned back to look at the eunuch. When the eunuch saw Zhu Yurao turning around, he could neither retreat nor advance. Sweat broke out on his forehead, his head was lowered, and his intestines were filled with regret.
Zhu Yulao looked at the eunuch and asked: "You said Mu Linfeng is in the palace? What is he doing?..." He looked at the eunuch.
The eunuch hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say. He was forced by Zhu Yurao to have no choice but to say: "I don't know, I just heard that your Excellency is interrogating General Zhong and several imperial prisoners in the imperial garden..."
Zhu Yuelao's expression changed after hearing this, and she immediately turned around and left the palace. Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs quickly came forward to stop her: "Princess, my Lord has an order, you can't go anywhere..."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuelao pushed away the palace maid and eunuch beside her, then pulled out the hairpin from her head, pointed it at her neck, and said: "If you stop me again, I will die in front of you immediately..." The eunuch and palace maid were frightened when they heard this.
I had to kneel down on the ground...
In the backyard of the Zheng family's house in Nanjing City, in a study room, Chen Jinnan was kneeling in front of his father, Chen Ding. Chen Ding looked at Chen Jinnan with a stern face, and said at this time: "Jinnan, you are a scholar, you should know the virtues of filial piety.
First, if my father asks you now, you still won’t say anything?”
Chen Jinnan knelt on the ground and looked up at Chen Ding, then said calmly: "Jin Nan has said everything he needs to say... I really have nothing to say..."
At this time, a voice sounded outside the door: "Brother, since Jin Nan said it's nothing, it's nothing, so don't embarrass the child..." The person who spoke was none other than Chen Hui. He walked into the study and helped Chen Jinnan up.
.
Chen Ding stood up at this time, with a surprised look on his face. He originally came to ask about his son after listening to Chen Hui's words. He didn't want to make a fool of himself. Chen Hui came out to be a good person at this time and looked at Chen Hui.
, I saw Chen Hui wink at me a few times, and then he sat down without saying anything.
After Chen Hui patted Shen Zhen's shoulder, he said: "Jinnan, uncle, your father, and Mr. Yang have no other intentions. It's just that you are still young and you don't understand many things yet. We just care about you."
That's it...it's okay, it's okay...from now on, you can do whatever your sworn brother tells you, there is no need to explain anything to us..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinnan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle..." After saying that, he turned to Chen Ding and cupped his hands, "Thank you, father...)"
Chen Hui smiled slightly, patted Chen Jinnan on the shoulder, and then said: "The eldest young master wants to talk to you, go ahead..." After seeing Chen Jinnan hesitate for a moment, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, the eldest master is not asking questions.
What you want to do this afternoon is just a heart-to-heart talk..."
Chen Jinnan just stepped back after hearing this. As soon as Chen Jinnan stepped back, he saw Chen Ding immediately stood up and looked at Chen Hui in surprise: "Ah Hui, what do you mean by this? I asked Brother Wei to ask, and now you are out again."
Prevent?"
Chen Hui smiled slightly when he heard this, and quickly said to Chen Ding: "Brother, the eldest son has other plans for this matter. Don't worry, the eldest son will not harm your father and son. Besides, you are my cousin and Jinnan is my nephew.
I won’t let you get hurt at all!”
In the backyard of Zheng's house, Zheng Chenggong was sitting in front of the stone table. There was a pair of black and white stones on the stone table in front of him. Yang Geng was sitting opposite, holding a black stone in his hand. He hesitated for a long time before moving on.
Putting the piece back on the chessboard, he cupped his fists with his hands and said with a smile: "The eldest son's chess skills are really getting better and better, Yang is ashamed of himself!"
But Zheng Chenggong smiled and said: "This is Mr. Yang being too modest and deliberately giving in to Fu Song. How could Fu Song not know?..." As he said this, he scattered the chess pieces in his hands on the chessboard, clapped his hands, and then stood up.
Said: "This is just a small chess game. The real big chess game has just begun. The opponent is Mu Linfeng. He is the real opponent. And in this game, there is only one game in my life... and there is only one game."
, neither us nor Mu Linfeng can afford to lose!"
When Zheng Chenggong said this, he heard Yang Geng cough a few times. He turned around and saw Chen Jinnan in the distance trying to come this way. Zheng Chenggong immediately showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Jinnan.
, come on..."
After Chen Jinnan approached, he immediately held his hands to Zheng Chenggong and Yang Geng and said, "My eldest son, Mr. Yang... I wonder if Jin Nan is here, what are your orders?"
Zheng Chenggong laughed, quickly stepped forward to hold Chen Jinnan's hand, and said seriously: "Jinnan, you are my brother-in-law's adopted brother and General Chen's nephew. You have an indissoluble bond with our Zheng family. You used this
The word 'pass' is really foreign..."
Chen Jinnan's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, Zheng Chenggong immediately pulled Chen Jinnan to sit down, and then continued: "Jin Nan, you are my brother-in-law and step-brother, and I am several years older than you. If you don't mind,
Just call me Brother Zheng..."
When Chen Jinnan heard this, he was about to stand up and salute, but Zheng Chenggong grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Is it possible that you look down on me, Zheng Fusong, Jinnan?"
