The little crybaby lost all his vest after being read by the prince.

Chapter 44 I’m not an ignorant cat
Song Ming was worried that Mu Xichen carrying the little milk cat to the battlefield would affect his image as a wise and mighty warrior. Yang Deshun also felt that their little princess was unreliable. What if the prince jumped up and down again when he was fighting with others? Your Highness, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, he also advised Mu Xichen to leave the little milk cat in the tent.

Shi Qing nodded repeatedly, which was what he meant, but after the master spoke, he did not follow the advice, so as not to annoy His Highness.

Ouyang Xiao and Chu Yan didn't care much about this. With them here, there was no reason for His Highness to fight the gangsters in person, so it didn't matter whether he took the little princess with him or not, as long as His Highness was happy.

[No one seems to want Maomao to go. What should I do? They really want to see how the majestic little brother of the prince beats the bad guys. 】

Lin Jiaying rubbed her little paws and sighed, "Forget it, I'm not a cat who doesn't know the general situation..."

Hearing her words, Mu Xichen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, "Gu's little princess is not ignorant. Don't worry, she won't affect Gu's."

[Let me tell you, we two have a clear understanding!Sure enough! 】

Suddenly being praised, Lin Jiaying was so excited that she stretched out her little paws to hold Mu Xichen's face, "Here, give me a kiss!" 】

Mu Xichen calmly caught her messy little paw, then pressed it into his arms, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Lin Jiaying, who was originally about to flip over and jump onto his shoulder with her little paws to continue her plan to steal the fragrance, heard this powerful shout and was immediately infected, "Wow!Wow!Wow!Isn’t this momentum too igniting? ! 】

【It really makes the cat’s blood boil! 】

Seeing her excited tail almost stretched into a straight line, Mu Xichen couldn't help but laugh, her temper was really out of control.

[As expected of the prince's little brother, he personally led the soldiers. They are all so handsome. 】

[Hey, um, that tall guy, how old are you and are you married? 】

Mu Xichen...

He turned and strode ahead.

[Maomao has a question in his mind. I don’t know whether to talk about it or not? 】

The little milk cat blinked its clear blue eyes and said quietly, "Why do you always choose to suppress bandits at night? Can't you go into the mountains during the day?" 】

Mu Xichen patted her gently and said, "Be good, don't be afraid when the fire starts. You know, you'll be alone, nothing will happen."

【fire? 】

[It turns out that little brother is planning a fire attack. No wonder he brought so many torches. 】

Lin Jiaying stretched out her little head from his arms and looked left and right, "There are so many trees, is it possible to attack them with fire? Don't burn the forest again, then the gain will outweigh the loss." 】

Hearing her worry, Mu Xichen pursed her lips.

This mountain peak is steep and difficult to navigate, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you don't use fire, you don't know how many lives will be sacrificed. However, her concerns are justified. Burning down the entire mountain for a few thieves would be a waste of money. .

The bandits here didn't know if they thought the terrain was too dangerous and no one could attack it, so they didn't set up sentries. However, with so many people holding torches walking in the forest, they could still be seen from high places.

It's not that before the army reached the foot of the mountain, a lot of people gathered above, staring at them with a keen eye.

"Dig a barrier."

Mu Xichen gave the order, and the Imperial Guards with iron bars in their hands immediately came out and excavated quickly. The ones who moved so fast were almost leaving afterimages of the iron bars in their hands.

The people above felt bad when they saw it, "Quick! Inform the boss, they are going to attack with fire!"

Cats' ears are stronger than humans. Even though the people above them didn't speak loudly, Lin Jiaying heard their words clearly, "Oh, wow, aren't you stupid? You actually saw it." 】

She murmured curiously, "It sounds like there is a way to deal with what they said, but with the fire attack, one rocket after another will be fired up, and it won't take long to cause a fire. What can they do?"You can’t just pray for rain to put out the fire, right? 】

[Could it be that they have accumulated a large amount of water and are preparing to dig a hole to drain it to put out the fire? ] Mu Xichen frowned and looked at the mountain peak in front of him, trying to figure out how likely it was that there would be a large amount of water stored on it.

[Ah, so that’s it. 】

The little milk cat's pink-pointed ears moved, "They have a secret passage that leads directly to the foot of the mountain!" 】

【sky!This is incredible. This is a mountain. It is a mountain. There are countless tree roots entangled underground, and the rocks are hard. How did they dig the secret tunnel? 】

[Is it possible that these are not ordinary bandits? 】

She had heard a lot of things in the camp these days, and had a better understanding of this dynasty called the Jin Dynasty.

It is said that the previous emperor was stupid and ignorant, which allowed villains to gain enlightenment and made the common people miserable. In the end, everyone had no way to survive, so they started to revolt. Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, Mu Xichen's grandfather, couldn't stand it either. The ignorant king harmed the country, so he collected the refugees to form an army, and cooperated with the major families to overthrow the previous dynasty and establish the Jin Dynasty.

Because the Mu family is a powerful family and has always been at the center of power, it was able to stabilize the entire situation and stabilize the country at the minimum cost as quickly as possible.

This made the rebels at the bottom very unconvinced. They believed that Mu was a traitor and traitor who was seeking power and usurping the throne. They were different in nature from them. They were the ones who truly stood up for the people.

Under the guise of co-ruling the world with all the people, they refused to lay down their troops and submit to the Jin Dynasty. They have been looking for opportunities to overthrow the Jin Dynasty and establish themselves as kings. Not only has the Jin Dynasty been established for more than ten years, but there are also various forces. The presence.

To be precise, they are not people from the previous dynasty.

It's just a habit of calling the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Because some of these forces were cultivated by officials of the previous dynasty.

This was the case with the group of people who were wiped out hundreds of miles away from the capital. They were bandits in name, but in fact they were private soldiers of former and current officials.

Lin Jiaying also knew about this, so it was reasonable to suspect that these people were not ordinary bandits.

[The secret passage cannot be dug out in a day or two. These people must have been here for a long time. 】

[How many years will it take to dig such a long secret passage from the peak to the foot of the mountain? Three years will definitely not work, five years will be enough. It will take ten or eight years anyway. 】

[If you calculate it this way, they are really likely to be remnants of the previous dynasty. 】

[Ah, this matter is very difficult. What should I do? What should I do? 】

Lin Jiaying scratched Mu Xichen anxiously, but her fleshy little claws were almost injured by the cold and hard armor, "Hey, this thing is really hard." 】

The painful little paw was held by Mu Xichen, and then he raised it to his mouth and breathed, "What are you doing so hard? What should I do if it hurts?"

[I’m willing to feel pain, as long as you breathe every time..., oh, no, now is not the time to talk about this...]

Lin Jiaying is worried.

Why did she become a dumb cat?

It’s really frustrating that I can’t say anything.

Old thief...

【Why?By the way, why don't you curse a little and let God thunder and split the mountain top, which might expose the secret passage. 】

[But it seems useless to chop here. 】

[When you go to the top of the mountain to chop, you have to hide quickly to avoid hitting yourself. 】

When Lin Jiaying was thinking randomly, she suddenly heard Mu Xichen say, "Always pay attention to their movements, and if there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

"Yes."
