In order to maintain his dignity, he had to give up the chase and return to the palace to find the Queen Mother.
After asking, I found out that Mu Nanjin went to the Queen Mother to ask about Sister Qi's appearance and voice, and then imitated Sister Qi to deceive him. What a hateful girl.
At that time, the Queen Mother did not know Mu Nanjin's intentions, and thought that she had no bad intentions, so she told her. Unexpectedly...
"Hahaha."
When the empress dowager heard how Mu Nanjin had deceived the emperor, she laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
She didn't want to lose her manners in front of the servants, but she was really sorry, she couldn't help it.
"Oh, this little girl looks serious, but she has so many bad ideas. She wanted to hold the imperial examination for women next year, and she just submitted a petition, but she came up with so many tricks."
The emperor said with a sour face: "If it were someone else, I would give her fifty lashes."
The Queen Mother wiped the tears from her eyes with a piece of silk and said, "Now that Prince Wu'an has been rehabilitated, what are your plans next?"
"Of course they will be given a higher title, buried with great honor, and..." The emperor put down the teacup in his hand heavily: "The Fourth Prince cannot let them off easily anymore."
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, "In fact, your father discovered that they had the intention to rebel, but he didn't say it because they were brothers. In the end, your father ordered the execution of Prince Wu'an and his nine clans. On the one hand, it was indeed because of his own selfishness, and on the other hand, it was to kill one to warn the rest and make the four princes give up the idea. I didn't expect that after your father passed away, they would rebel again."
As a son, the emperor could not comment on his father's faults and could only choose to remain silent.
The Queen Mother stood up and said, "Don't you want to let the Fourth Prince off easily? Then hurry up and don't let them escape."
"Your son will take his leave." The emperor left quickly, then ordered the Imperial Guards to do their best to capture the fourth prince.
The sons and grandsons of the four princes who lived in the capital suffered first. They were under constant surveillance and could not escape even if they wanted to. Before they even walked out of the gate, the Jinyiwei rushed in, pinned them to the ground, and then locked them up in jail.
The next step is to leave Beijing and capture the four princes.
Upon receiving the news, the governor immediately notified the centurions and thousand-man households to set off together.
[Hehehe——]
[Finally, I can go on a business trip with the governor. 】
[Wow, the governor looks so majestic sitting on the horse. ]
[Wow, the governor looks so handsome in a cape. 】
【Wow--】
The governor at the front of the team twitched his mouth.
The vice governor, who was slightly behind him, tried hard to suppress his laughter.
The governor lowered his voice and asked, "Who called her here?"
The governor-general asked, "Didn't you say that all the hundred and thousand households should go out together?"
Governor: “…”
"Wouldn't it be good if she could come with us? As for the people under her, except for Captain Liu's son, who is not stronger than Captain Liu? If we encounter the Grand Master Guards of the Fourth Prince, they can at least help to block them, so we don't have to do everything ourselves." Seeing that the Governor did not say anything, the Governor's Assistant said, "Who told you to send the Governor's Assistant to do other things? It's not like there is no one in the Jinyiwei."
The governor stopped talking.
Captain Liu, who was in the middle of the team, rode up to Mu Nanjin and whispered, "Mu Nanjin, we have to hurry up and catch the Fourth Prince this time. You can't stop halfway to barbecue or something like you did when you went to catch bandits. Do you understand?"
Mu Nanjin nodded.
[Do I look like such an ignorant person? ]
Captain Liu: “…”
Sometimes you really act like a little girl and don't understand anything.
At noon, the governor found a place to stop for lunch and called Mu Nanjin over.
When Mu Nanjin heard the governor calling her, she immediately came to the governor and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
[The governor asked me to come here, didn't he want to have a meal with me? Hee. ]
The governor ignored her thoughts, opened the map and said, "In order to prevent the four princes from escaping, we need to split up into four groups. Governor-general, you will lead the troops to capture Prince Yu, Mu Nanjin, you will lead the troops to capture Prince Zun, and your subordinate Jia Yin will lead the troops to capture Prince Huang."
The governor replied, "Yes."
Mu Nanjin: “…”
[I haven’t even spent the night with the governor yet and we’re about to separate!? ]
[You clearly said you would take me with you on the mission, but we have to separate in less than half a day. How dare you lie to me? I will punch you in the chest with my little fist. Humph.]
Governor: “…”
“Pfft…cough cough…”
The governor-general quickly walked to a place where Mu Nanjin couldn't see him and smiled secretly with his hands covering his mouth.
The other centurions and thousand-man commanders also tried their best to smile, but Yang Bo and his men were sweating profusely.
The governor said in a deep voice: "Mu Nanjin, did you hear that?"
[He is still mean to me. I am not in the mood to work anymore. How about I go home? Anyway, I don’t need a promotion, and I am not afraid of being fired. It doesn’t matter whether I go or not. ]
“…”
The governor felt that managing Mu Nanjin was a hundred times more difficult than managing the entire Jinyiwei.
He took a deep breath, pointed to a place on the map and said softly, "We'll meet here when you catch the prince."
[Hey, we can still get along, then I'm motivated, it's just catching people, it's a piece of cake, it can be done quickly. ]
Mu Nanjin: “Yes.”
[Why is the governor's face so dark? Is he blaming me for not washing his underwear recently? ]
[You can't blame me for that. You were the one who went out for over a month and then I was busy looking for evidence and witnesses so I couldn't take care of this matter.]
Governor: “…”
Mu Nanjin turned to Jia Yin and ordered: "Take Yang Bo, Xu Cheng and five hundred centurions to capture the royal prince."
Jia Yin looked uninterested: "Oh."
"If you fail to complete the mission..." Mu Nanjin said coldly, "the consequences will be serious."
Jia Yin straightened his face and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."
After saying this, he sneered in his heart, you won't be proud for long.
Captain Liu frowned and walked over: "He took away so many hundred households, it will be difficult to distribute the remaining ones."
Mu Nanjin said: "I will only take my people away, you guys can assign the others."
Captain Liu frowned even more tightly: "Can the remaining five of you handle it?"
"Who said there are only five of us?" Mu Nanjin looked at Shu Xiyao: "Our Xiyao has tens of thousands of men, which is more than enough to deal with the prince."
Jinyiwei: "..."
Shu Xiyao: “…”
Does this mean he wants his people to help the court?
After lunch, Mu Nanjin took his men to the prince's territory.
Of course, the prince had already received the news and ran away.
Mu Nanjin was not in a hurry. She said to Shu Xiyao, "Xiaoyao, take us to your demon sect and gather some people."
As luck would have it, the evil cult was in the prince's territory.
Unfortunately, the prince did not know about this and thought that the Demon Cult’s land was the mansion of some wealthy family. In addition, the Demon Cult paid taxes on time, so they did not have any doubts at all.
Shu Xiyao: “…”
The tone and manner showed that he really treated him as his subordinate.
Do you think the Demon Cult is your home? Do you think you can go there and leave at will? Be careful, I want you to come but never come back.
Shu Xiyao still brought the person to the Demon Cult.
When the members of the Demon Cult saw Shu Xiyao coming back, they said excitedly: "The leader is back, the leader is back, tell the elders quickly."
One of the disciples hurried to the backyard to inform the elders.
While they were notifying the elders, Shu Xiyao brought Mu Nanjin and the others to the hall.
Soon, the four elders hurried to the hall, and they were also very excited to see Shu Xiyao.
"Master, you are finally back."
"I said that our leader has great fortune and will be fine."
After Shu Xiyao was captured, they sent people to rescue him many times but all ended in failure.
Later, when he saw Shu Xiyao wearing the flying fish uniform of the Jinyiwei, he thought that he might want to play in the Duwei Mansion for a while. After all, their leader was very playful, and it was not impossible for him to be a Jinyiwei when he had nothing to do.
Shu Xiyao sat down at their seat: "I'm fine, don't worry."
The elders were relieved, then noticed that there were other people in the hall.
When they saw that the other party was wearing Feiyu uniforms and one of them was a fifth-rank captain, they were shocked and stared at Mu Nanjin and the others with vigilance.
"Master, who are they?"
"Master, are they the people you captured?"
Shu Xiyao did not explain: "You go and gather some people. I will lead them to capture the prince."
"Dear Prince?" The elders were stunned.
Shu Xiyao didn't want to repeat what he said, so he frowned and said, "Go quickly."
"May I ask how many people the leader needs?"
Shu Xiyao glanced at Mu Nanjin and the others and said, "One thousand people are enough."
"Yes." The elders hurried to notify everyone to gather.
As soon as they left, Shu Xiyao curled his lips and said, "Master Mu, since you came here on your own, don't even think about leaving here."
Mu Nanjin took a sip of tea and said, "It seems you haven't given up yet."
"If I gave up so easily, I wouldn't be called Shu Xiyao."
Heitan crossed his arms across his chest: "It seems that I really need to beat him up before he can really obey me."
"If you dare to move, I guarantee you will die from the poison immediately."
Liu Qian was puzzled: "Why did he die from the poison?"
Shu Xiyao tapped his cup gently: "You are not naive enough to think that I will not do anything if I bring you to the Demon Sect?"
"Did you poison the tea?" Liu Qian hurriedly put down the teacup.
Sang Tai calmly put down the cup: "I knew the tea was poisonous, so I didn't drink it."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you two in the same group?"
Sang Tai rolled his eyes at him.
He didn't say it because he knew that Heitan and Mu Nanjin would be absolutely fine.
Liu Qian wanted to force the poison out, but Heitan held his shoulders.
Before he could turn around, Heitan slapped him on the back.
"puff--"
Liu Qian vomited out all the tea he had just drunk.
Mu Nanjin drank his tea calmly again.
Shu Xiyao was startled: "You guys..."
The tea of the Demon Cult is usually poisonous, and the antidote will be given only after confirming that the other party is a friend.
But Heitan and the others didn't show any signs of poisoning.
Heitan suddenly came in front of him.
Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Don't hit my face."
"yes."
Heitan beat Shu Xiyao severely in front of all the believers, and every punch hit him where it hurt.
“Ahhh—”
Shu Xiyao screamed repeatedly.
"Master."
The followers wanted to stop them, but they heard Sangtai say: "If you dare to step forward to stop them, your leader will only be beaten even more badly."
The believers stopped in their tracks.
Shu Xiyao wanted to fight back, but before he could raise his hand he was punched again.
He wanted to use his inner strength to shock the opponent away, but it didn't work, so he had to give up resistance in the end.
Heitan didn't return to his original position until the elders came back.
The believers hurriedly shouted: "Elder, they..."
Shu Xiyao endured the pain and interrupted them: "Elder, have you gathered the people?"
"The call has been completed."
Mu Nanjin put down the teacup and said, "Let's go."
The prince and his entourage never imagined that after escaping the imperial court's pursuit, they would end up falling into the hands of the Demon Cult and being escorted back to the capital by the Demon Cult's people themselves.
After finishing his duties for the prince, Mu Nanjin immediately brought his men to meet with the governor.
Unexpectedly, all he saw was a note left by the governor: Sorry, I’m in a hurry to escort the Holy Prince back to Beijing, so I’ll leave first.
Mu Nanjin narrowed his eyes.
She felt like she was being tricked.
Liu Qian asked cautiously: "Girl, what are we going to do next?"
Mu Nanjin crumpled the note into a ball and ground it into powder: "Let's go sightseeing."
Liu Qian looked at the white powder on the ground and couldn't help but shudder. He always felt that the girl in their family was angry.
Mu Nanjin actually took them to travel and it took a whole month for them to return to the capital.
Captain Liu was a little bit unrecognizable when he saw his son.
"You...you seem to have gained weight?"
Liu Qian was helpless: "How can I not get fat after eating and playing all the way?"
"Where on earth have you been? Why are you back so late?"
Liu Qian counted with his fingers: "We went to brothels and gambling houses in various cities, tasted delicious food in various cities, and burned incense in Buddhist and Taoist temples in various places, and went..."
"Stop, stop." Captain Liu frowned and asked, "Aren't you busy and can't come back? Why did you go to so many places to have fun?"
"Ask the girl?"
Captain Liu looked at Mu Nanjin. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Mu Nanjin's face was colder than before.
He coughed lightly and said, "Mu Nanjin, the governor said you should go see him when you come back."
Mu Nanjin: “No.”
Captain Liu was stunned when he saw that she was not in a hurry to see the governor as usual. "He is the governor, how can you disobey his orders?"
"Heh." Mu Nanjin sneered and said nothing.
[When I care about him, everything he says is right and everything he does is good. When I don't care about him, he is nothing.]
Captain Liu: “…”
Jinyiwei: "..."
The governor and his deputy governor who were far away in the Governor's Office: "..."
The governor's deputy governor also looked at the governor with disapproval: "Look, you have pissed off the little girl. You will suffer in the future."
"Since you promised to meet her, you shouldn't have broken the promise. Now you have hurt the girl's heart, otherwise you wouldn't have taken so long to come back."
The governor frowned: "I..."
"Don't explain to me. Go explain to the little girl."
Governor: “…”
On the other side, Mu Nanjin came to Qianhu Wenshu Academy to meet Jia Yin, Yang Bo and Xu Cheng, and was relieved to see that they were fine.
However, Jia Yin's smiling face made her feel very irritated. She was in a bad mood, so how could he smile so happily? Mu Nanjin asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Jia Yin's smile did not fade: "I just feel in a good mood for some reason."
“…”
When Mu Nanjin returned to the Mu Mansion, Huaiying rushed over and said, "Miss, you are finally back."
