In order to successfully blend into Fang Zhao's group, Mo Xiu carefully disguised himself as an ordinary soldier.
He wore a tattered military cap, a coarse cloth uniform indistinguishable from other soldiers, and a pair of dusty black cloth shoes. He looked completely unremarkable.
In this way, he successfully integrated into the team led by Fang Zhao and marched with the army.
The soldiers simply thought it was another unfamiliar face; little did they know that this person might very well be the future emperor.
Meanwhile, the situation was quite different at the residence of the Second Prince of Shangjing.
Apart from a few trusted confidants of the Second Prince who went to the Southern Frontier, all the other servants and attendants remained in the mansion as usual, without any change.
In this way, the illusion was created that Mo Xiu was still staying in the capital, making people mistakenly believe that everything was calm and peaceful.
It must be said that this second prince is truly decisive and ruthless, willing to resort to such means to achieve his goal.
In this way, the people sent by the Emperor of Nanning would not be able to detect that the Second Prince had left the capital.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Muheng did not show much surprise on his face.
This situation was exactly what he had anticipated.
After all, if the Second Prince wants to achieve something great, he must have the courage and determination to burn his bridges.
At this moment, the Second Prince had no way out. Only by entrusting his life and fortune to Lin Muheng could he possibly have a chance to survive.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhao led two thousand fully armed soldiers, under the guise of transporting grain, straight to the southern border.
Jiang He had already received the news and was determined to successfully send the Second Prince of Nanning to Nanning.
Today, southern Xinjiang has completely fallen under the control of the Jianghe regime.
Former commander Sun Yuan owed fifty lashes, and Emperor Rongsheng showed no mercy.
Although fifty strokes of the cane didn't kill him, it nearly crippled him.
Because he was deposed, and the two cities were also recovered, Emperor Rongsheng did not punish the Sun family members for their crimes, as their merits outweighed their faults.
Thanks to his outstanding performance and extraordinary talent, Sun Qian successfully obtained permission to remain in the military camp.
At this moment, Jiang He held the command seal and became the commander of this army.
Sun Qian gave Jiang He his full support, which made the old subordinates of the Sun family gradually realize that Jiang He did not only rely on his relationship with the emperor to get to his high position, but also truly had extraordinary abilities and strength.
With Sun Qian, a capable assistant, leading the charge, Jiang He did not encounter many obstacles in leading these soldiers.
Now all the soldiers are completely convinced of Jianghe's power.
Fang Zhao traveled onward, enduring more than ten days and nights of arduous journey, and finally arrived at his destination, where he met the river.
Jiang He also met the Second Prince, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
However, when he first saw the Second Prince, he was surprised – the person in front of him was almost unrecognizable!
Putting aside the fact that the Second Prince's attire was completely different from before, his figure alone showed that he was much thinner than before.
Even though he was treated to delicious food and a comfortable life in the capital, the Second Prince still did not feel much comfort or peace of mind.
Upon seeing Jiang He, the Second Prince's attitude was neither enthusiastic nor obviously hostile.
After all, he knew very well that the reason he was captured and taken to the capital was ultimately due to Jiang He.
However, he ultimately understood the simple and easy-to-understand principle that the victor is king and the loser is villain.
If you have anything to blame, it's your own incompetence.
At this moment, his life and death, his very existence, were entirely in Jiang He's hands, and any resistance would only bring him more adverse consequences.
Jiang He immediately discussed with Fang Zhao how to lure the snake out of its hole and draw out the Emperor of Nanning.
Mo Xiu's expression was solemn; he knew that today's meeting was of paramount importance to him.
However, after the meeting ended, he slowly walked out of the room, thinking to himself that he was not wronged to lose to Jiang He.
Mo Xiu gave a wry smile. He understood that Jiang He was indeed brave and resourceful, and it wasn't unjust for him to lose to such a formidable opponent.
......
The Second Prince of Nanning has left.
Lin Muheng's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Since arriving in the capital, this second prince from Nanning has been like a ticking time bomb, making Lin Muheng constantly on edge.
Now, we've finally managed to send him away safely.
Remembering that the late emperor had promised the old emperor of Nanning that he would help take care of his precious son, Lin Muheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.
Fortunately, the mission is now complete, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, the second prince of Nanning is determined to return to his homeland, so it cannot be considered that he has broken his promise.
If this matter can be successfully accomplished, it will naturally be a cause for universal celebration and great joy.
However, things in this world are often not as one wishes, and there are many variables and uncertainties in everything we do.
Fortunately, with the resourceful Jiang He and the calm and experienced Fang Zhao working together to devise a plan, Lin Muheng firmly believed that this matter would not ultimately end in failure.
At this moment, Jiang Chuwei looked up at the sky and was surprised to find that it was still early, but she had already seen Lin Muheng's figure.
A joyful smile instantly bloomed on her face. She hurriedly stepped forward, gracefully bowed, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
Faced with this situation, Lin Muheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, because he had repeatedly told Jiang Chuwei not to be so reserved and to treat her as before.
Jiang Chuwei, however, was a stubborn person and refused to listen, insisting that proper etiquette should never be neglected, whether in public or in private.
Seeing that Jiang Chuwei was determined, Lin Muheng could only shake his head gently, then reached out and took her soft, boneless hand, and said softly, "Let's go in!"
Jiang Chuwei nodded obediently and quietly followed him into the inner room.
As soon as he stepped into the inner room, Lin Muheng asked, "Why are you so reluctant to move to Fengyi Palace?"
Since he ascended the throne, Jiang Chuwei has always paid special attention to various palace rules and regulations.
Logically speaking, she should have moved into the Phoenix Palace, which symbolizes supreme power, according to the rules.
To Lin Muheng's surprise, Jiang Chuwei seemed completely uninterested. Hearing Lin Muheng's question, Jiang Chuwei smiled slightly and said softly, "Fengning Palace is good enough."
