Mu Nuan ordered the secret guards to send Lu Shiyan into the dungeon, and then ordered him to escort the pavilion master out.

When they saw the pavilion leader, the two gave up the fight in a tacit understanding. The martial arts leader stepped forward to save people, but was blocked by Mu Nuan.

"The account between the Pavilion Master and me has not yet been settled. Once the account is settled, I will naturally let him go," Mu Nuan said.

Seeing that Mu Nuan refused to give in, and seeing Mu Nuan's martial arts skills, the martial arts leader could only keep a distance from the pavilion leader to talk.

After the two talked, the leader of the martial arts alliance learned the truth of the matter and also knew that the masked man took advantage of his love for his sister and deceived him. The leader of the martial arts alliance was very angry.

"What does the prince want?" After a pause, the leader of the martial arts alliance said, "I brought the people outside the palace, but they are not my people. I can't let them retreat. As for all my people, they were surrounded and suppressed by the people from your palace.

In the mansion."

Mu Nuan said: "All losses incurred by my palace tonight will be compensated by your martial arts leader."

"Okay." What can we do now? His life is still on someone else's territory. Although the martial arts leader feels aggrieved, he still accepts the debt.

Mu Nuan said: "Pavilion Master, I don't have to go to Tingfeng Pavilion to cause trouble for you to assassinate me, but you have to give a sufficient price."

The master of Tingfeng Pavilion understood that Mu Nuan was seeking compensation from him, and the amount of compensation could not be less than one-tenth of the value of her status as a prince.

In order to be able to leave, Tingfeng Pavilion signed an unequal voucher. With this voucher, Mu Nuan became the new pavilion master of Tingfeng Pavilion, and he became the deputy pavilion master.

Before sending the two of them away, Mu Nuan reminded: "Leader, I will send the loss to your house later. Remember to compensate after you review it."

Two people:……

From now on, they will definitely cherish their lives and stay away from villains, especially Mu Nuan.

It wasn't until late at night that the Royal Forest Army broke through many difficulties and appeared at the door of Prince Mu's Mansion.

Butler Mo said angrily: "You are late, I will leave the job of cleaning up the scene to you."

The general of the Royal Forest Army held up his hand and explained, "I'm sorry, Steward Mo, but we didn't mean to be late. We were blocked by a huge stone about three to four hundred meters after we left the barracks."

"I will report this to the prince. Now everyone in the palace has just experienced a bloody battle and is very tired. The work of cleaning up the scene will trouble the general." Butler Mo left after saying this, leaving a group of imperial guards standing outside the palace.

The next day, Mu Nuan went to court very tired and sad. As soon as he saw Emperor Pingyang, he began to cry and complain about his grievances.

Emperor Pingyang and many ministers couldn't bear to hear this.

After Mu Nuan told his grievances, all the ministers expressed their opinions one after another, but there was no response from Emperor Pingyang. Mu Nuan raised his eyes and saw that Emperor Pingyang was drinking tea with great interest, as leisurely as listening to a book.

Listening freely to the ministers arguing as if they were haggling in a vegetable market.

Some people say that they want the emperor to investigate the attack on the palace. Some people say that this is related to Wancheng Tower and the previous royal family. They suggest that the descendants of the previous royal family should be detained...

These people thought so much that Mu Nuan almost dozed off after listening to it, because these people didn't even notice that she cried out about the situation in the palace and made a request - to thoroughly investigate the attack on the palace and bring justice to the palace.

I don't know how long it took, but Emperor Pingyang spoke, and still mentioned that he wanted Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to assist each other in catching Wanchenglou and the rebels from the previous dynasty.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment felt that the pressure was great, and they wanted others to share the burden, but each of them was as shrewd as an old fox and declined one after another. Finally, they ordered the task angrily.

Mu Nuan cried and complained that she had achieved her goal. She didn't want to go any further and stood there quietly. Emperor Pingyang felt distressed and gave Mu Nuan another reward in front of all the courtiers.

The ministers also understood Emperor Pingyang's attitude towards Prince Mu's Mansion, and even more clearly Emperor Pingyang's love for Prince Mu.

After the court dispersed, everyone discussed Mu Nuan's affairs.

The person who was the focus of the topic was sitting in the imperial study drinking tea, talking to Emperor Pingyang about the descendants of the previous royal family, and about the attack on the palace.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I didn't send Mei'er to stop you last night is because I was worried about the safety of the palace. Please, for your own safety, please clear the palace of dangers from today on."

Emperor Pingyang asked: "Have you received any news?"

"Lin Qi came back with news that the King of War has plans to mobilize troops back to the capital." Mu Nuan said, "And the masked man from Wancheng Tower has been to the Prince of War's Mansion three or four times." This is all because she destroyed the secret passage.

.

Emperor Pingyang patted the imperial court and asked, "What are your plans?"

Mu Nuan blinked, isn't such a big thing his business?

"I decided to let nature take its own course."

Emperor Pingyang saw that Mu Nuan had decided not to intervene and wanted to give up the matter, so he asked: "As the general of the Huwei Army, don't you have any defensive measures?"

Mu Nuan said: "My mighty army is not in the capital." What kind of general is a general who has no troops to dispatch?

"Didn't you do well in the Royal Guards?" Emperor Pingyang said with a smile, "You go to the military camp now. No matter what method you think of, you must keep the Royal Guards firmly in your hands."

"Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to seize the throne?" Mu Nuan asked. If she goes to take the tiger talisman of the Royal Forest Army again today, memorials to impeach her will be flying all over the sky tomorrow.

Emperor Pingyang said: "I will give you this position, do you want it?"

This emperor was too tired. He wanted to retire early, but the third son was incompetent. The other sons were not as clever and capable as Mu Nuan. If he gave the throne to Mu Nuan, Nan Xuan would definitely flourish and become even more powerful than when he ruled.

prosperity.

Emperor Pingyang had a good idea, but Mu Nuan was very realistic, "Uncle Emperor, you can keep this position for yourself, I'll forget it."

She is now dealing with the military affairs of the Huwei Army, as well as the accounts of the commercial bank and all aspects of decision-making. She is as tired as a spinning top. If she wants to govern a country, she will die from exhaustion.

This is not possible, life is short, live it and cherish it, she still has to find her wanton life.

Emperor Pingyang looked at Mu Nuan's disgusting look, his eyes twitched, and he ordered directly and forcefully:

"Prince Mu has both political integrity and talent, and is both civil and military. He has won my heart. I order you to take over the Royal Forest Army. Until the Royal Forest Army passes my assessment, I allow you to return the military power."

Mu Nuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "The emperor wants me to train people in vain?"

Emperor Pingyang said: "I will give you an extra salary."

Mu Nuan plucked her fingers to calculate the salary carefully, and then calculated the dividends of her trading company. Emperor Pingyang felt that the extra salary he gave could not be less, so he added: "I allow you to put forward a condition that I can agree with.

"

Mu Nuan thought about this sentence repeatedly and reluctantly agreed to Emperor Pingyang's request.

As the days passed, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, and there was a feeling of an army approaching the city.

Mu Nuan stood on the high platform and looked at the imperial guards who were sweating, frowning and thinking about things.

Since the attack on Prince Mu's palace, during this period, the palace has become extremely quiet, with a kind of calm before the storm. Mu Nuan still told the guards not to take it lightly and to remain vigilant and alert at all times.

And the masked man she planned to catch is now in Prince Zhan's Mansion.

Mu Nuan once thought about sending people to the Prince Zhan's Mansion to arrest people, but Emperor Pingyang wanted to wipe out Prince Zhan's faction and the forces of the previous dynasty, so she had no choice but to obey his wishes and not use any soldiers.

However, her parents took action, issuing orders one after another. Wancheng Towers across the country were uprooted, and their remaining forces were recalled to the capital by masked men.

Now we just have to wait for the War King's army to reach the outskirts of Beijing so that Mu Nuan can command the soldiers to take action.

Zhan Wangfu.

The king of war asked: "Where is my army now?"

"Going back to the prince, because we entered the capital secretly, the army can only set out at night. During the day, we hide in the woods to repair. It is estimated that they will arrive in the evening." A follower reported.

The War King nodded, "You go down now."

After the entourage left, Prince Zhan said: "Father, do we really want to do something?"

King Zhan said: "Your Majesty has long disliked me. If he hadn't needed me to confront Qi Cheng these years, he would have gotten rid of me just like he did his other brothers.

"

It is urgent to act now, and with the help of the masked man, he will be able to accomplish great things.

The masked man looked at the father and son and curled his lips. He wanted the supreme power but was afraid of failure. He didn't want to give up just yet.

He doesn't have much power left. If he doesn't take a chance now, he will have to wait for many years.

Now that he is forty, there are still many more forties left.

"King of War, Prince of War, you don't have to worry. The last time we attacked the palace, the palace's power must have been severely damaged. It will be easier for us to act next time. Even if we don't succeed, as long as there are treasures and tiger talismans, what will happen to you?

Are you afraid that the east wind will blow again?"

The masked man abandoned the temptation and gave him a way out and hope after failure. The father and son were excited and became more determined to seize power.

The King of War made a decision: "We will start an attack in three days."

The masked man held up the teacup and said, "I would like to offer tea instead of wine to wish the prince a successful victory and to win the supreme position in one fell swoop."

"Haha, okay, when I succeed, I will definitely not forget the young master's help." The War King laughed, but in his heart, he thought that he would kill the masked man when he succeeds.

This man is the grandson of the former Emperor Jing Ren.

He doesn't want his life to be stained.

The two people with different thoughts toasted to each other. Prince Zhan smiled as he watched the two toasts. The image of them successfully seizing power flashed through his mind, and he smiled even brighter.

On the other side, Mu Nuan received news of the War King's army and took Meier into the camp to discuss with the generals a plan to resist the War King's army.

"My men have found out that King War's army marches at night and rests during the day," Mu Nuan pointed to Youshan and said, "I want to send the Royal Forest Army to ambush here, and we will send troops when they rest."

"General, bandits are rampant here, General Qi's suppression of bandits is not over yet." A general said, he was worried that by then they would not only have to face bandits, but also the King of War's army.

Attacked from two sides, they probably wouldn't be able to resist. After all, the Royal Forest Army only has 50,000 soldiers.

Mu Nuan said: "General Hu, don't worry, I will not let the banditry affect our resistance to the rebels."

The reason why General Qi was unable to suppress the bandits for so long was because he and his soldiers had been led around Youshan by Lin Qi, specializing in robbing those soldiers who were pretending to be businessmen, escorts, or other things.

They have now become full-fledged bandit soldiers.

"If you don't have any other opinions, let's discuss the formation of troops in Youshan."

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads, and said they had no objection, and then everyone began to discuss the formation of troops.

Emperor Pingyang was also discussing with Commander Zhao and the Commander of the Forbidden Army how to protect the safety of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I think you need the Huwei Army as your guard." Although the Forbidden Army Commander cleared the Forbidden Army during this period, many people came in with connections and could not be moved at all. Although these people appeared to be fine on the surface,

But the commander of the Imperial Army could not guarantee that they would have no problems.

Protecting Emperor Pingyang's safety is a top priority, and there is no room for negligence.

Commander Zhao also made the same request.

Emperor Pingyang said: "Prince Mu is unwilling to lead the Huwei Army to participate in the internal fighting of the country, so I ordered her to lead the Royal Forest Army." It was also because in his heart, there were not many trustworthy people in the court.

Even among the royalists, some lined up to go to his son's place.

Having experienced the struggle for power, he could never trust his son.

Commander Zhao said: "Your Majesty, you are the monarch chosen by the Huwei Army. You need them at this time, and they will not refuse."

Emperor Pingyang also remembered that he succeeded in taking the throne with the help of Prince Lao Mu that day, and today he will keep the throne with the help of Prince Lao Mu's granddaughter.

Emperor Pingyang felt that he was very incompetent as the emperor.

However, he did not harbor any suspicion or fear, and ordered: "Commander Zhao, please go see Prince Mu."

"Yes!" Commander Zhao understood what Emperor Pingyang meant and accepted the order.

When Commander Zhao appeared at the gate of Prince Mu's Mansion, Mu Nuan also returned from the military camp.

"Commander Zhao, what do you want?" In this critical moment, Commander Zhao will never leave Emperor Pingyang easily unless Emperor Pingyang gives him something he must do.

Commander Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the relationship in the Forbidden Army is complicated. I would like to ask Your Majesty to send the Huwei Army to protect the Emperor."

"Well, I agree to this. Commander Zhao, what else do you have to do?" Mu Nuan asked again, with no intention of inviting anyone into the house.

Commander Zhao knew that Mu Nuan had an affair with him because of Nan Yi's incident, so he flew away without saying anything more.

Mei'er said: "Girl, Commander Zhao seems to have changed a lot?"

"Yes." Mu Nuan responded lightly, and then returned home, Mei'er quickly followed.

"Girl, I heard that the Emperor has issued an order regarding the Lu family's treatment."

Mu Nuan said: "Well, I already know about this."

Perhaps for her sake, Emperor Pingyang did not want her to have any quarrel with Lu Shiyan, so he sentenced the Lu family's property to be confiscated, the head of the Lu family was exiled, and the rest were demoted from the capital.

Mei'er said: "They will leave tomorrow and return to their ancestral homeland. Girl, do you want Lu Shiyan to go and see it?"

The breakdown of Mu Nuan's relationship with Lu Shiyan has not yet been known to outsiders, so they are still an unmarried couple and should go see off the Lu family.

"Bring the people with you!"
