All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Noon on the second day.

The carriage carrying the prince and princess, surrounded by black armored guards, drove into the city gate and returned to the Yunjiang palace in full view.

Perhaps it was because Shen Lingxi had been a ghoul for a long time and hadn't slept.

Since returning to this body, she can sleep unconsciously as long as she touches the pillow.

Naturally, he missed the childish scene of the two of them fighting each other when Chu Yan took her out of the carriage, wrapped in a brocade quilt, in front of Mu Huaian.

When Shen Lingxi woke up again, it was already dusk.

The news of the death of Duke Zhen's ancestor had naturally spread to the Yunjiang Palace.

Along with it, the news came that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Cao, poisoned her mother-in-law to death.

Night falls.

Shen Lingxi changed into a Taoist robe and followed Chu Yan in a carriage to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

Yun Wang and Mu Huaian also went with them.

Yun Wang took the same car with Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi.

Mu Huai'an rode on the horse, and through the curtain of the car, told Shen Lingxi about the current situation in the Zhen Guogong's mansion:

"Everyone in the Duke's mansion knows that our ancestors and the Duke's wife have always been at odds because of the death of Mr. Xu Er - Xu Yuanshan. Our ancestors have always wanted to drive the Cao family out of the mansion. Our ancestors stood in front of us yesterday. There was a scene in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and Cao felt resentful, so he simply poisoned the food of our ancestors."

"After Mr. Cao administered the poison, he was panic-stricken and afraid that the Dongchuang incident would happen and his children would be affected, so he took the poison."

"Now the old ancestor has no way to recover and has died. The Cao family still has a breath, but he is still unconscious. The imperial doctor said that it is impossible to save him. Even if he saves him, he will be a fool in the future."

"Duke Zhen was so distraught that he stayed in front of the ancestor's corpse, neither eating nor drinking."

"The affairs of the mansion are all taken care of by Xu Yuanshan's widow, the second wife, Mrs. Li..."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, her almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, and the corners of her lips raised a playful arc.

"Where is the ancestor's body? Has it been examined? What kind of poison was it?" she asked.

Chu Yan also raised his eyes, looking at Mu Huai'an coldly.

If eyes could be used as a knife, Mu Huai'an's face would have been cut several times with blood.

Mu Huai'an seemed to have a big heart, and he didn't notice the danger at all.

He sat upright on the horse, looking expressionless and business-like.

"I haven't tried it before." He replied: "Duke Zhen is guarding his ancestors, and Wu Zuo dare not get close to him. Mrs. Cao is only in a coma. He is not dead yet, so Wu Zuo can't test it. The imperial doctor can't find out what happened to him." poison."

Shen Lingxi sneered when she thought about what her ancestor told her last night, and when she heard the scene in the mansion today.

Seeing her look like this, Mu Huaian immediately guessed what was fishy based on his understanding of her.

"Is it the Duke of Zhen who has a problem?" he asked.

Shen Lingxi smiled but said nothing.

Mu Huaian's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Are you planning to deal with him tonight?"

"He is the Duke of Zhenguo, not Xiao Rui." Shen Lingxi reminded: "You have to listen to His Highness on this matter."

Speaking of which, on the day of the canonization ceremony, Mu Huaian broke in single-handedly and shot Xiao Rui. It was not arranged by Chu Yan and her.

Shen Lingxi also found out later that on the day she entered the city, Mu Huaian had said to her, "There is no need to be polite to Xiao Rui, he won't live long anyway." What did he mean?

Long before she and Chu Yan arrived in Yunjiang, Mu Huai'an had conspired with Yun Wang to kill Xiao Rui after the canonization ceremony.

It's just that the timing was just right that day, so we did it in advance.

It was also because of this that Shen Lingxi discovered that Yun Huang and Mu Huai'an were somewhat unscrupulous and crazy in the boundary of Yunjiang.

Although it is said that "the general will be outside, the military order will not be accepted."

But in front of Chu Yan, the dignified prince, they are really not afraid of death.

Yun Wang was not sure whether Mu Huaian was afraid of death.

At this moment, Yun Wang looked at his elder sister and Mu Huai'an, talking to each other with a tacit understanding.

While looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, the expression hidden in the shadow of the carriage was so cold that it was about to frost.

Yun Wang just felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Seeing that Shen Lingxi brought the topic up to the crown prince, he pointedly reminded: "Sister's words are very true. Apart from those guarding the border, many of Duke Zhen's Xu family troops are stationed outside the city."

"In the land of Yunjiang, even if Xiao Rui is alive, it is difficult to compete with the Xu family's army, not to mention that General Mu has not yet completely subdued the remnants of the Xiao family. Only His Highness's black-armored guards can contain the Xu family... This matter has to be done Let's see what His Highness plans to do."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lingxi also looked at Chu Yan eagerly.

If it comes to solving crimes, arresting criminals, and slapping scumbags, she is naturally good at it.

But to lead troops into battle, one has to specialize in art.

Zhen Guogong is the biggest local snake in the territory of Yunjiang.

Seeing Shen Lingxi's black and white eyes, she looked towards him.

The ice between Chu Yan's brows finally melted away a lot.

"Mu Huaian took Gu's handwriting and led people to guard the border. As long as the border is not in chaos, there is nothing to fear from the troops stationed outside the city." He said in a calm voice.

Yun Huan's eyebrows twitched, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart.

As expected of a real brother-in-law.

It's fine if you don't make a move, once you make a move, you can directly kick your love rival out of the game.

No, it was a "former" rival in love.

Mu Huai'an widened his eyes in astonishment, "Why me? If I leave, this Yunbian City..."

"You're gone, and there's still a lone black armored guard." Chu Yan interrupted him expressionlessly, and said in a businesslike manner: "Now that you have succeeded Xiao Rui, the military affairs and military defense in Yunjiang is your duty. Could it be that you still want the lonely black armored guard to guard the border for you?"

"Your Highness is right. Xu Huan was originally the most suitable candidate, but he must abide by his filial piety in the future. General Mu is indeed the best candidate." Shen Lingxi thought about it.

"Anyway, General Mu has nothing to do in the city right now." She added earnestly, "Going to the border to train soldiers is better than doing nothing in the city."

If you have something to do, you don't have to come here specially to eat the melons from the Duke of Zhen's mansion here.

Chu Yan felt very comfortable after hearing this.

He also added, "When Gu and the Crown Princess return to the capital, I will transfer you back. By then, your soldiers will be almost trained. From now on, you will help Yunwan defend Yunjiang."

Mu Huai'an looked at the two of them helplessly, and his brows and eyes lowered as he spoke to each other in a tacit understanding.

This is not arranging his whereabouts, this is stabbing him with a knife.

Shen Lingxi is not enlightened.

The most ruthless one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yun Wang silently lit a candle for Mu Huai'an in his heart.

However, as far as the matter is concerned, it is a rare opportunity to go to the border to train troops at this time.

For men, turn off the lights in the love scene, and turn on the lights in the battlefield. This side is not lit, and the other side is lit.

Watching Mu Huaian tighten the reins and stop the horse, Yun Huang hastily said to Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi: "General Mu has just come to Yunjiang, and he is not familiar with the frontier, so I will send some people to him."

After finishing speaking, he resigned directly and got out of the carriage.

Only Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi were left in the carriage, and they were speechless for a moment.

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped slowly.

The town government has arrived...
