"It's simple. I'll let you stay in the borderland for the rest of your life. You will never have the chance to set foot in the capital again in your life."
Muyuan shrank back, and his eyes changed when he looked at his elder brother: "Brother, is this true?"
"Muyuan, everyone has their own choices. One choice after another will lead you to where you should go. As a member of the imperial family, it is your responsibility to guard the border for the country. Not staying in the capital is to save your life."
Muyuan seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, I understand now. You said that I am strong in limbs but dull in brain, and only suitable for fighting. If you return to Beijing, others will start with me if they want to deal with you. Are you worried that I will hold you back?"
"You are quite self-aware." Mucheng smiled.
Muyuan thought he would be a little angry, but looking at the people in front of him, he felt a little guilty. He thought that they had helped him ward off disasters several times when he didn't know.
"I understand. I won't let you worry about me anymore."
Seeing Muyuan like this, Su Chenyu felt bad, but what happened last night gave her a warning. The best way to protect him is never to help him overcome all difficulties, but to let him have the ability to overcome all difficulties!
The truth is cruel, but it is what Muyuan must face if he wants to see through the fog.
Fortunately, Muyuan was not confused. He always firmly believed in Mucheng and Su Chenyu.
It was also at this moment that Xu Muyuan suddenly realized why Yan Ruqin let go of his desire. Under the circumstances, how many people can do whatever they want? He only hoped that person would live a peaceful life and get what he wanted.
"I will personally lead people to guard Ning County. After confirming that everyone in Ning County is dead, I will burn Ning County down." When Muyuan mentioned the burning of Ning County again, there was no trace of pity. This place could not be kept any longer.
"Then cousin Mu Cheng, you take the other half of the guards to guard Baiyun Mountain. Yan Qing and I will go into Baiyun Village to scout out the situation. When the timing is right, we will work together inside and outside to capture Baiyun Village." Su Chenyu ordered calmly.
"Okay, shall we go now?"
Su Chenyu shook her head and said, "Bandits often come out at midnight. I think night is when they are most alert. Yan Qing and I will go to investigate after daybreak. You stay outside and wait for our signal."
"Um."
"Where are Madam Xu and the others?"
"I'm still trying to figure out what to add to the tea."
Su Chenyu walked in and said, "I know what it is."
It's nothing but snow mushroom powder. After the snow mushroom is ground into powder, its medicinal properties are better, which means its calming effect is doubled. If they had drunk the tea at that time, they would definitely have passed out and would have been at the mercy of the old shopkeeper and his assistants.
Madam Xu and the others were waiting for Su Chenyu on the first floor. When they saw Su Chenyu coming back, they hurried forward and asked, "Princess, you are not hurt, are you?"
Su Chenyu shook her head: "Did you find anything in this inn?"
Hearing this question, Aunt Xu sighed and said, "There is a sealed dry well in the backyard. After we opened it, we found that it was full of corpses. They must have been killed while staying at the inn. Later, we found a lot of valuables in the waiter's room. They should be the property of those who were killed."
"They really did a lot of murder and robbery." Yanyu talked about a strange thing, "But there were only male corpses in the well, no female corpses, could it be that no women passed by here?"
"Is there anything else strange?" Su Chenyu continued to ask.
Yanyu thought for a moment and replied, "Ordinary bandits go down the mountain to rob people. These bandits are too smart. They can hide in the inn and kill people and steal money. Who taught them?"
Su Chenyu showed an approving look, Yanyu was now becoming more perceptive.
And she had a vague premonition in her heart that all this must be related to Madam Mei's true identity.
Thinking of this, Su Chenyu's mouth curled up. Madam Mei wouldn't really think that she could escape, right?
