Two days later, Jun Mu, who was far away in the southern barbarian land, also learned the news that Jun Yan was appointed as the crown prince, and at the same time he also received a letter from Shen Jingwen.
In Prince Nan’s mansion, Jun Mu’s face was solemn, and his fingers holding the silk were trembling slightly.
How dare Jun Yan!
He had just taken the throne of the crown prince, but after only two days he couldn't wait to attack his brothers and stab his compatriots. Was he so eager to eliminate all the hidden dangers that prevented him from taking the throne?
Jun Mu was really angry. Looking at the contents of the letter, he felt dizzy and his chest was stuffy, as if he was holding his breath and couldn't exhale; it was also like there was a fire that he couldn't suppress.
In an instant, Jun Mu's face turned red, even a little blue, which was extremely ugly.
He knew that Jun Yan wanted to kill him and his second brother for the throne, and he sent assassins many times just to completely eliminate the possibility of the two becoming emperors.
Even though at the beginning, he, like Jun Ze, had no intention of pursuing that position, he was still treated with unreserved fear.
He also knew that if the emperor wanted to hold on to that position, there would be no way to avoid bloodshed. It was normal for brothers to have estrangements, but the result of repeated tolerance was only the other party's intensified harm.
If he doesn't fight back, there will be only one result: death.
Jun Mu could see that his father was indulging his third brother, and all the things that happened in the past were still vivid in his mind.
In order to maintain the family relationship that was so pitiful that it was as fragile as walking on thin ice, Jun Mu did not break up with his father and Jun Yan even when it came to a life-and-death situation.
But now, what Jun Yan is going to do is really outrageous.
If the people of Jingping knew about this, they would drown him with just a spit from each of them.
Raising private soldiers is already a serious crime, and treason is a capital offense. How dare he gamble his selfish desires against the selfish desires of those barbarians?
Cooperation? Win-win? Guarantee that no one will cross the line?
This person who is usually good at using tricks and is smart and clever, is there something dirty in his brain now?
When Jun Mu was extremely angry, his eyes became more fierce, with a slight redness at the corners of his eyes. He slowly tightened his fingers, rolled the ball of silk into his palm bit by bit, and threw it into the stove beside him.
The silk was instantly ignited, and the letter was destroyed.
"Your Highness, do you think the information Mr. Shen obtained this time is reliable?"
Under Jun Mu's instructions, Ji Feng naturally knew what was written in the letter, but it was precisely because he knew that he had doubts.
To be more precise, Ji Feng did not disbelieve Shen Jingwen, but Ji Feng could not believe that as a prince, Jun Yan would be so naive and innocent.
After a great battle more than ten years ago, the barbarian leader surrendered and has been retreating south of the Yangtze River.
Over the years, although I have been eager to take action, I have never dared to go beyond the limit.
It was simply because they were afraid of Jingping's military strength and did not dare to act rashly, fearing that they would be caught in one fell swoop and have no chance of recovery.
But Mr. Shen sent a message to his highness, saying that the third prince had colluded with the leader of the southern barbarians and intended to march north to occupy Kangnan City.
This is not good news.
If these people's wishes are fulfilled, the people in Kangnan City will suffer, become displaced, and even lose their lives.
His Highness will also be punished by the Emperor for failing to defend the city, and there will be ministers in the court who will take the opportunity to ask the Emperor to take away His Highness's military power.
Given the Third Prince's temperament, if he were a bit more ruthless, he would inevitably pin the crime of treason on his own prince.
By then, His Highness would surely be dead, with no chance of fighting back.
However, this possibility is based on the barbarian leader's adherence to the agreement. Once the other party breaks the agreement, it will be a disaster for Jingping.
After all, if the barbarian leader's cavalry really set foot in Kangnan City, how could they be willing not to continue heading north?
How could they be willing to continue to be vassal to the Emperor Jingping?
He didn't believe that a prince couldn't think of the problem that he, a secret guard, could think of, nor did he believe that his highness's opponent was so brainless.

But in fact, Ji Feng overestimated Jun Yan's patience.
Jun Yan really did so, and even made preparations early on. He was proud of it and regarded the barbarian leader's initiative to show goodwill as his own surrender.
He thought he was the chosen one and the most popular one.
The lands of the southern barbarians and the northern barbarians, and even the entire world, are all his, Jun Yan's, territory.
In order to ascend the throne sooner, he even offered the defense map of Kangnan City in exchange for his father taking back the military power from his elder brother...
Jun Yan thought his plan was very thorough and there was no possibility that outsiders would know about it, but he didn't expect that his plan had been exposed.

Jun Mu calmed down a lot, but after hearing Ji Feng's words, he paused for a moment, frowned, looked at the letter that had long been burned to ashes, and clenched his hands again:
"Jifeng, Mr. Shen wouldn't joke about this kind of thing."
"If the news is true, it proves that his current situation is relatively safe. If the information is false, it means that someone has doubted his identity and is deliberately testing him."
Junmu has always adhered to the principle of employing people: trust people when employing them, and do not employ people if you doubt them.
However, when Jun Mu heard Ji Feng mention Shen Jingwen, he thought of another thing and his expression immediately became serious.
Seeing his master's seriousness, Ji Feng thought he was going to order him to do something important. However, Jun Mu looked at him and said word by word:
"Remember to send a message to Rong Ping later, asking Jiyue and Jixue to protect Mr. Shen and Miss Ning. Jun Yan didn't succeed last time, so I'm sure he won't hold a grudge against him."
Hearing this, Ji Feng nodded somewhat stiffly: ...
This level of concern made it hard for him not to suspect that these two people had saved His Highness's life.
Although he kept complaining, Ji Feng had no complaints. After all, he was one of his own, so there was nothing wrong in protecting him.
"I haven't gained a firm foothold in the army yet, and the soldiers in the army haven't completely convinced me."
"The various camps often slacked off in their martial arts training, and have long been like a pile of loose sand, far from the unity they had more than a decade ago.
If the barbarian leader led his troops north at this time, even if I had the ability to reach the sky, wouldn't this Kangnan City be in his pocket? "
Jun Mu looked at the sand table in the room. There were eight defense points on it, and each defense point represented a camp.
Among the various defense points, some were independent, while others formed alliances in groups of three or two, but they all refused to obey him, the airborne general stationed in Kangnan City.
Hearing his own prince say such discouraging words, Ji Feng's expression changed slightly. He was about to say something, but Jun Mu raised his hand to stop him.
No matter how beautiful the words are, it's useless.
Since ancient times, unstable military morale has been a taboo.
I originally wanted to take it slow, but now I have to close the net early.
