"Sir, please come in." After passing through the crisscrossing alleys in the city, Mo Feng quietly led the two into a small courtyard. Two falcons stood obediently on the wall, as if they were standing guard.
"Your Highness, this place is called Min County. It is more than a hundred miles away from the capital through the mountains. If you want to take the pass, it will take five or six days even if you gallop your horse."
"Yeah." Ye Nan nodded and looked at Gu Junwen's leisurely figure. "What are the casualties of our brothers in Kyoto?"
"More than half of the people are dead or injured. I have ordered people to make arrangements and most of them have been buried." Mo Feng subconsciously fanned his folding fan, and his gorgeous and enchanting expression darkened by three points.
"Those who have relatives here should settle them down, and I will transfer money from my personal account."
"Yes." Mo Feng stood aside with his hands hanging, neither speaking nor leaving.
"How about I go first..." Gu Junwen yawned and raised his foot to walk out.
"You've had a hard time along the way. Come and have some snacks. Mo Feng, you don't need to avoid General Gu if you have something to say. Just tell him directly." Ye Nan handed over the snack box and said softly, "This chestnut crisp is not bad. Try it."
"Okay." Mo Feng has been in the entertainment industry for many years, so he was not surprised. He relaxed a little and spoke in a frivolous but not annoying tone, "Then I would like to congratulate the prince first.
I have sorted out the information in Beijing these days and found many contradictions. "
Thinking of An An and Uncle Shen who were still in Kyoto, Gu Junwen couldn't just sit there and watch. She took a light bite of the chestnut crisp and moved forward.
The information in Mo Feng's hands was complicated and the sentences were even a bit confusing. It was obvious that he had escaped in a hurry and the information was scattered.
“So, the initial information we got was that the second and third princes were plotting treason, and it was the second and third princes who imprisoned all the officials in Kyoto. But the news from the palace was indeed that the eldest prince was temporarily regulating the country, and the regent was assisting in state affairs.” Ye Nan tapped the table with his slender fingers.
"Yes. The Second and Third Princes and the First Prince have always been at war with each other. Unless the intelligence is wrong, it is impossible for the three of them to live in peace. But..."
Mo Feng's tone slowed down for a moment: "This was sent out from the palace by Brother Cao at the risk of his life. His branch was killed in the palace. Some brothers also went to test it, and it is true."
"The chestnut crisps are good." Unlike the two people who were frowning, Gu Junwen was in a good mood. She leisurely admired the patterns on the chestnut crisps while bargaining with the system:
"Tongtong, let's discuss something."
"No! No! No!" System 101's head was spinning like a rattle. The host was so well-behaved, she must be preparing to do something naughty. After all, this ancestor had proposed to skip the plot. If she used the same trick again, the system didn't want to waste time talking to her again.
“Host, you are already a mature host. You need to learn to solve problems in your own way.” Adhering to the principle of “if I run fast, trouble can’t catch up with me”, System 101 chuckled and logged off manually.
"Okay." Gu Junwen raised his head and met the deep gazes of Ye Nanyiyi and Mo Feng.
"Young General, please don't be stingy." Mo Feng smiled charmingly, gently covered his mouth with a folding fan, and came closer.
"Mo Feng! Be more restrained." Ye Nanyi coughed unhappily, "Gu Junwen, what do you think?"
As if she was caught by the teacher while distracted in class, Gu Junwen was embarrassed and swallowed the chestnut crisp in one gulp. She pointed at herself and said, "Me? What can I do?"
"Young General, please don't be so modest. You are a general of an army, and you have a secret guard under your command." Mo Feng flirted with a self-proclaimed charm, "With your relationship with the prince, I beg you to lend a hand. Even if it is for the sake of the people of Kyoto, please don't refuse."
"What?" After digging in the dust of memory for a long time, Gu Junwen finally pulled out long-lost memories.
Based on the lessons learned over the past few months, Gu Junwen knew very well that if he didn't say something, these two would start to make up another big drama in their imaginations.
"I admit that I have had such an idea. But at that time, I couldn't even gather enough food and grass, so how could I have the extra money to support another secret guard? Think about it carefully, it takes time to train talents."
"Major General, haven't you cultivated your own forces in the northern frontier? Keeping them by your side just in case?" Mo Feng asked earnestly after getting Ye Nanyi's tacit consent.
"I want to, but the soldiers and civilians at Hulao Pass are as close as one family, and the generals in the general's mansion are absolutely loyal. Is there no need? It's so cold, isn't it better to stay in bed?"
Facing Ye Nanyi's gaze that said "You are worthy of me", Gu Junwen's voice became lower and lower.
"Or, should I go to the northern border to mobilize some troops? After all, I am a general of the northern border." Gu Junwen's eyes were sincere and he was honest to everyone.
Mo Feng felt his forehead throbbing with joy, and smiled reluctantly: "I'd better not trouble you soldiers. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The most important thing right now is that the situation in the capital is unclear."
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Gu Junwen swallowed the last piece of cake reluctantly and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Mo Feng looked at Gu Junwen in confusion.
"I felt something was wrong as soon as I stepped into the alley. Although Min County is a small county, this house is actually near the market, and it should be the noisiest at this time. It was much quieter along the way we got here." Gu Junwen picked up a teacup and played with it in his hands.
"Mo Feng, the eagle you raised cried so loudly on the way to Tanzhou that I couldn't sleep well. Why is it so quiet today?" Just as he finished speaking, the teacup was thrown out by Gu Junwen, and the sound of a knife blocking the opponent was heard in the yard.
"Your Highness, please go first. I will cover your retreat." Mo Feng drew the soft knife from his waist and pushed Ye Nan to the back room.
Suddenly, the doors and windows of the house were pushed open by the strong wind, and the three of them could see clearly that there was a group of people in black standing quietly in the yard. They were covered with black cloth, with short knives on their bodies, and they were silent.
"All of you, the person who came is very steady, obviously a master." Gu Junwen swallowed nervously and pretended to be calm.
