Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Yan Junchu smiled when he heard this, "I can't say it's suspicion. I just felt that many things were related to Suizhou, so I couldn't help but have doubts, so I asked someone to investigate."

Su Yi couldn't help but admire him. He didn't feel anything at first, so he followed King Rong south. When he arrived at the place, he didn't find anything wrong. But later, when he didn't have enough food, King Rong had no choice but to ask the local government to open a granary. Only then did I realize something was wrong.

His Royal Highness, who was far away in the capital, was able to prepare for a rainy day and see things clearly. Naturally, he was absolutely unable to do so. My sister was right, he was really too stupid before.

"Your Highness, do you think this matter really has something to do with Suizhou?" Su Yi asked hesitantly. Although he felt that something was wrong in Suizhou in hindsight, he did not dare to make false claims because there was no evidence.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Yi, "I have to trouble my eldest brother about this matter. When King Yi came to Beijing, it was the day when eldest brother would lead the team south to investigate the case. This case is of great importance. I have recommended Shang Junyan as the imperial envoy, and eldest brother will be his deputy. The two of you work together to find out what happened."

Um?

who?

Shang Junyan?

Su Xinyi was shocked. He didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would recommend Shang Junyan!

For a moment, her mood was quite complicated. She never expected that His Highness would entrust him with such an important task. To be honest, Shang Junyan's current official position was far less prestigious than the one he had in his previous life. His Highness was a wise man. Bar.

Su Xinyi once hated Lord Shang to the core, and hated the people of Pingjing County Prince's Palace so much that he did not hesitate to die with them in his previous life.

All the grudges were wiped out in that fire. As for this life, she has nothing to do with Shang Junyan or Pingjing County Prince's Palace, so even though she is still disgusted in her heart, she has not done anything in private.

Even, looking at the current situation in the court, she encouraged Shang Junyan to continue to be his capable minister. But now that Shang Junyan has really shown off his head in front of the prince, her mood is quite complicated.

When Shang Junyan was mentioned, the prince's peripheral vision glanced at Su Xinyi's face inadvertently. Seeing that there was indeed a faint indescribable look on her expression, he withdrew his gaze.

Su Yi didn't notice the prince's subtle look, and spoke with the same surprised look, "Prince Shang? Your Highness, will the ministers and Crown Prince Shang belittle each other?"

He is a military attaché, and there has never been a military attaché as the correct answer to the question of checking the granary, so he is not surprised to choose a civilian official as the correct answer, but he is surprised that His Highness would choose Shang Junyan.

Although it is only a recommendation for the time being, the Crown Prince has advised that His Majesty rarely has any objections and the matter should be almost settled.

"Today, the situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, and you cannot rely on old practices when hiring people. Moreover, Shang Junyan performed very well in arranging grain and military supplies during the last battle at Zhangping Mansion. This time, he is investigating another granary case, which is also familiar to him. errand."

Because Su Yi would work with Shang Junyan to investigate the case later, the prince would inevitably have some disagreements, so he made it clear to Su Yi, his uncle.

"As of now, Shang Junyan is fair in his work and will not show favoritism due to favors or power. He has the power of imperial envoy to go to Beijing this time, so there is no need to worry about the local officials' insincerity and subjugation."

Su Yi was relieved when he heard what the prince said. He was a military attache. He had worn out many pairs of shoes because of the granary incident. He was not a civil servant after all. It was a bit difficult for him to investigate the case.

If His Highness Shang Junyan is so powerful, this trip should go smoothly.

Su Xinyi listened without interrupting. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Shang Junyan was a fool when it came to housework, but he did have the ability to be an official. Otherwise, he would not have done it at such a young age in his previous life. He became King Rong's right-hand man.

Yan Junchu still had many questions to ask Su Yi about the granary, so he simply left him to have dinner, which also allowed Xin Yi and his siblings to talk more.

Su Xinyi was indeed very happy and immediately ordered someone to go to the dining room to spread the message. Seeing that the prince and his eldest brother were talking about business and had no time to attend to, he stood up and said: "Your Highness, I can't help you here. I just have something to ask Mu Xing. You talk to brother slowly, I'll go meet someone first."

Yan Junchu looked up at Xin Yi and said with a smile: "I forgot about Mu Xing. Okay, you go see him first. Pang Lan has already told me about his injury before. Ask him carefully and talk to him later." I listen."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement and then left.

Because he had been talking to Su Yi for a long time, Mu Xing had been waiting for a while. When he saw the princess coming in, he stood up to greet her.

Su Xinyi asked Mu Xing to sit down, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. Some things have been delayed."

Mu Xing didn't care when he heard this, "I haven't waited long. The princess wants to ask me about my injury?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Did you go to Zeng Liang's place when you came back this time? How is he now? It's not convenient for me to leave the palace often. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Mu Xing did not expect that the Crown Princess still remembered Zeng Liang, so he smiled and said, "Very good. Who dares to mess with him at Qingjinfang? Don't live a comfortable life. There are many little beggars around to look after him."

Su Xinyi was also happy, "Yes, it's not easy for him to get along well with his ability. How about Tian Zao and Bao Datong in Yulinwei?"

"Tian Zao dared to fight and kill. This time in the Zhangping Mansion battle, he accumulated a lot of military exploits by following you. Later, after you returned to Zhangping Mansion, he continued to go deep into the grassland with Mr. Qin. I later learned that he had been promoted to a thousand households. Bao Datong is not as good-tempered as Tian Zao, but now he has become one hundred households. The two of them take care of each other in Yulinwei, and with you taking care of them, no one dares to take away their credit, so they live a good life." Mu Xing said.

Su Xinyi was surprised, "Is Tian Zao a Qianhu now? It seems that he followed Qin Guansheng and killed many enemies."

Tian Zao has always dared to fight and kill for revenge. He is good at martial arts and courageous. Although it is a bit unexpected that he has reached this point, it is reasonable.

It's not bad that Bao Datong can reach 100 households. After all, his temperament is different from Tian Zao.

"Master Qin, for the sake of the Crown Princess, taught Tian Zao a lot of things, and he became a half-teacher," Mu Xing said.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but feel happy when she thought of Qin Guansheng, who didn't look kindly on her back then.

"After you left Yulin Guard, you probably didn't go back, right? How do you know so clearly about Tian Zao and the others?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

Mu Xing glanced at the Crown Princess, thinking that he didn't know who asked about these two people every time he saw him. Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to answer the questions after returning to Beijing, so he had made an agreement with Tian Zao if he didn't When he returned to Yulinwei, he asked him to write a letter and send it to the address he had reserved.

"We have correspondence." Mu Xing said concisely.

Su Xinyi glanced at Mu Xing again. At first, this man seemed to be able to live alone forever and there was no need to have much involvement in this world. Now he actually communicated with others. Tsk, what a man's mouth... …

However, Su Xinyi was very happy. With the fireworks in the world, the more involved he was with this world, the more he cherished his life and the more he wanted to live well.

Mu Xing can fight, carry, run and do great things. Su Xinyi naturally hopes that he can get better and better.

After saying this, he asked about his injury again, "When I was at the Duke's Mansion, I saw that you seemed to have something to say, but is there anything that is hard to say?"

Mu Xing was not surprised that the Crown Princess asked this. She had always been careful, with more and deeper thoughts than a honeycomb. He hesitated and said, "I think this assassination is not just for me."

Um?

Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing, "Speak carefully."

"Because it happened that I wasn't on duty that night, but I drank an extra cup of tea and didn't feel sleepy, so I was sorting out the maps along the way in my room." Speaking of this, Mu Xing's tone was inevitably a little bad. Drawing a map is really something like this. Not a pleasant experience.

He used to be handicapped, but now he can draw decently with just a pen.

Looking at Mu Xing's subtle expression, Su Xinyi pretended not to see it. If Mu Xing didn't say anything, she wouldn't know.

Wouldn’t it be nice to learn more?

Just like her, if she hadn't been forced to learn a lot of things in her previous life, would she be so confident in this life?

Everything in this world will be betrayed, except the skills learned.

"When someone came in, I was the first to notice it, because those assassins appeared outside my window first, and I was the first to go out and fight with them, so the people in the caravan thought they were targeting me. Come." Mu Xing thought and spoke slowly. What happened that night happened suddenly. Although he thought about many details many times afterwards, he was still cautious when talking to Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi frowned, and asked after a while: "Did you observe carefully at that time, who were the assassins targeting more often?"

Mu Xing shook his head, "No specific discovery was made. Later, the people in the caravan were alerted and came out to challenge. Everyone gathered together. It was night again. I was entangled at the time and did not have more energy to observe."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Then why do you think it's not for you?"

"Intuition." Mu Xing spread his hands.

As a killer, intuition is their survival instinct.

Su Xinyi was silent. It's hard to explain this thing, but intuition is very mysterious.

"No one left alive?" Su Xinyi asked.

Mu Xing shook his head, "Except for the ones who ran away, everyone else is dead."

"Be killed or commit suicide?"

"There is no obvious act of suicide, but if someone is unable to escape from behind, he is indeed suspected of committing suicide."

Su Xinyi was thoughtful, then looked up at Mu Xing, "If you see them again, will you recognize them?"

"With your face covered, it's impossible to identify people, but if you pass a few tricks, you can."

It is not uncommon for people who practice martial arts to recognize people by their moves.

She couldn't help but think that His Highness the Crown Prince had sent people to check on King Yi, and now Su Yi also mentioned that the granary matter might have something to do with Suizhou. It was hard to say whether King Yi was involved, but Suizhou was very suspicious.

If, taking a step back, the people who assassinated the caravan were the same group as the people who were at the hunting ground, after all, their behavior of seeking death was very consistent, it is difficult to say whether they were accomplices.

Therefore, Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing and said, "My eldest brother will go south to continue investigating the granary case. I want you to go with me. Maybe you will have unexpected surprises."

Mu Xing was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a long time this time. Then he raised his head and asked, "Is the Crown Princess the person suspected of assassinating the caravan, and is she related to the granary case?"

"There is no evidence, so you can't just talk nonsense. Let's just go with intuition."

Mu Xing:......

"Can you not go?" Mu Xing said with a dull face. He was too tired and didn't want to move. He just wanted to stay in Zeng Liang's comfortable little courtyard.

"If you don't go, I won't have anyone I trust more to entrust to investigate the assassins. After all, those assassins need your intuition to identify them." Su Xinyi smiled very kindly.

Mu Xing:......

Dig a hole and bury yourself!

What else could he do?

Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing's rare face, smiled softly, and said: "I have told you before that I hope you can live with an upright identity in this world. You follow the caravan I have made a lot of achievements for so long, and I have already been able to change my identity. Have you ever thought about this?"

Mu Xing was a little surprised that Su Xinyi would mention this matter at this time. She did negotiate terms with him based on this point, but he actually didn't take it to heart.

However, his current state of mind is very different from that of then. In the past, he felt that living alone was not interesting, and that there was no difference between dying early and dying late.

But now that he has friends, people and places he can care about, he suddenly feels that life has warmth. In this case, an upright identity is also necessary.

Seeing that Mu Xing's expression finally changed this time, Su Xinyi felt relieved. Having known Mu Xing for so long, she was really afraid that he would continue like this.

Since there is hesitation, there is hope. She looked at him and continued to smile: "You have been here since the caravan was formed. Your identity is traceable without checking. What I mean is not to erase your past. If you want to change your identity, it’s not impossible, but once you meet someone who wants to get to the bottom of it, you can’t hide it.”

If Mu Xing had not been in the caravan, it would have been easier to handle this matter, but since he followed the caravan in and out, there were many people in Yulinwei who knew him, and it was impossible for her to keep everyone's mouths shut. .

Mu Xing raised his eyes and looked at Su Xinyi. He did not speak. He knew that she still had something to say.

"In the case of Ma Rude, you turned against the dark side and turned to the bright side. You deserve credit for it. Not to mention the caravan. You have done enough with your merits and the past can be wiped out. In the future, where you can go depends on your own ability." Su Xin Yi said slowly, "It's not impossible if you want to enter the guardhouse, but you just have a rebellious temper. I don't think this path may be suitable for you."

Of course Mu Xing was not willing to go to the health center, just like Tian Zao and Bao Datong, he didn't even think about it, it was too tedious.

"If you don't go to the guard station, you can work with the caravan like you are doing now, or work with the imperial envoy investigating the case as I proposed before. With your ability, you will be able to stand firm in just a few years."

"It depends on what you choose. No matter which path you take, it will not be easy, but as long as you work hard for two or three years, you can live an upright life for the rest of your life."

Mu Xing had a smile in his eyes and looked up at Su Xinyi, "After all, don't you want me to serve Prince Su? Okay, let's settle it."

He couldn't stand the rigid rules in the military when he went to the guard station. Although the granary case was very troublesome, Su Yi must be worried about his safety when he went to Su Xinyi. By allowing him to accompany him, he could not only investigate the person who assassinated the caravan, but also protect Su. It was safe and allowed him to perform meritorious deeds. It was hard for the Crown Princess to think so carefully about such a trick and still allow him to go there willingly.

Su Xinyi smiled, feeling completely refreshed. She looked at Mu Xing and said, "If you don't think about serving the country, it would be a waste of your life. I know that you are different from ordinary people. When you and I met, I am not As the Crown Princess, I am only telling you what to do because of the friendship we had when we first met. I hope you can live a happier life in the future."

"...I know." Mu Xing smiled. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't work hard and follow the caravan in and out, nor would he sit here. The most comfortable place for Su Xinyi is her Sincerity, and never using your status to pressure others.

She will make you feel that she is who she is. Whether she is the sixth girl or the princess, she is still the same person he once knew and has never changed.

"Then it's settled." Su Xinyi immediately agreed, "Shang Junyan, you also know."

"I don't know much." Mu Xing answered.

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, then looked at Mu Xing's slightly thoughtful words, "He is a very talented person. There is no harm in learning from him."

Mu Xing glanced at Su Xinyi in surprise. There was actually someone she praised. Suddenly he remembered something. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Master Shang, isn't he the one you chased and beat before?"

Su Xinyi:......

"Didn't you say you don't know much?"

Is this called not knowing much?

"Oh, I don't really want to know, but who made you the Crown Princess? You are so prestigious that it's not easy not to know."

"get out."

Su Xinyi was offended by Mu Xing's words. She really doubted that if he became an official in the future, he would not offend his colleagues at Shangfeng. What kind of future would such a person have? Let's go to hell.

Love so much.

Mu Xing left in a very good mood.

Before the Double Ninth Festival, His Majesty finally issued a decree and ordered Shang Junyan to be the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the granary case, and Su Yi was to assist Shang Junyan as his deputy.

When the imperial edict came out, it took everyone by surprise.

One is that although Shang Junyan is somewhat famous in the capital, his fame is mostly related to Yan Qiongsi. After all, Yan Qiongsi only wanted to marry him, so he didn't know how much trouble he caused.

Now he is actually regarded as an imperial envoy by His Majesty, and the investigation is still a major case of the granary, which inevitably makes people question whether he is qualified for the job.

In contrast, not many people cared about Su Yi as a deputy. Being a deputy sounds nice, but in fact Su Yi was a military attaché and was there to protect Shang Junyan. The only criticism is that Su Yi is Su Xinyi's eldest brother. Is it because of this relationship that Your Majesty uses Su Yi?

Thinking about it this way, I feel that His Majesty's intentions are unpredictable. After all, His Majesty has never confused palace affairs with court affairs since he came to the throne.

Thinking of this, more eyes fell on Su Yi, and more people secretly guessed what His Majesty meant.

Back then, Shang Junyan had been chased and beaten by the Crown Princess, but now he asked Su Yi to be his deputy, how could he look so weird?
