Mu Ange was stunned for a moment: Re-employ?
Then he immediately adopted a nonchalant attitude: "Oh? How exactly will you use me?"
Mu Anjin looked at him, his schadenfreude almost impossible to hide.
“The bandit problem has been quite serious lately, Third Brother, you know that, right? Sixth Brother’s wife was almost kidnapped by bandits. We older brothers can’t just ignore something like this.”
Mu Ange just stared at him quietly, wondering what kind of nonsense he could possibly spew from that dog's mouth.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Mu Anjin had no choice but to continue: "Father's intention is to send you a team of men to suppress bandits along the outskirts of the capital. You can return to the palace when the banditry is completely eradicated."
As Mu Ange listened, a cold smile crept onto his lips: What is this? Expelling them from the capital, those bandits are like countless rats in the ground, wipe them all out? I'm afraid that's something you can't do even in your next life.
"Such a good job, how come my fourth brother didn't get it?"
Mu Anjin was very modest: "Me? Third Brother, you know that I'm not good at martial arts."
Mu Ange's gaze swept to his hands: "Oh? How did you get the knife wound on your hand?"
He remembered that when he went to Wushang Sect yesterday, he injured the sect leader's hand.
Mu Anjin raised his right hand and looked at the scabbed wound: "Naturally, I accidentally injured myself while cooking for the princess in the manor."
Mu Ange looked at him and said sarcastically, "Oh? So Fourth Brother is quite the romantic."
"Alright, there's no point in saying more. Third Brother, let's pack up and set off tomorrow. The people can't wait."
Mu Ange knew that even if he was unwilling, he couldn't get out of this matter. In any case, the emperor's best choice was himself. He didn't love him that much, but he wanted to win a reputation for being wise, so he arranged for someone as insignificant as himself to take risks. Fortunately, he also needed to go to the border to investigate a case.
"I will certainly not disappoint my father's expectations."
As he spoke, he stood up, as if to see the guest out.
Mu Anjin said, "This journey is dangerous, Third Brother, please be careful on the road."
"nature."
After Mu Anjin left, he turned and went to his study. He took out a wooden box from a hidden compartment. Inside was a small amount of information he had collected over the years, which totaled only half a sheet of paper, but he cherished it dearly.
"Chen Xun!"
"exist."
"This matter has finally begun!"
Chen Xun's eyes welled up with tears: "Your Highness, we have been waiting for this opportunity for far too long."
Mu Ange prepared his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write a letter.
Chen Xun mustered his courage and guessed, "Is it written for Xiao Ning?"
Mu Ange nodded, but didn't lose her temper with Chen Xun. He was leaving this time and she didn't know when he would be back. Although she had already made arrangements for the palace, she was still a little worried. So she wrote a letter to let him know that she was thinking of him.
"Then, what about the bean sprouts?"
"If there are any unusual movements, deal with them immediately."
"good."

The next day, Mu Ange was all ready to go. The emperor sent a troop of soldiers, totaling two hundred men. However, Mu Ange's own men had already been planted among them, and the people he had cultivated in the first half of his life were gradually infiltrating into the ranks.
Inside the palace, An Ning was idly sunbathing in the Ministry of Works courtyard when Old Man Yan sneaked over and handed her a letter.
"Good disciple, this is from the Third Prince, take a look."
An Ning was somewhat surprised. Why did he suddenly write her a letter? Those traditional Chinese characters, combined with Mu Ange's cursive script, were simply too difficult for her to understand.
Anning struggled to her feet, took the letter in her hand, and before she could open it, Meng Yun rushed in, grabbed her arm, and tried to pull her away.
Old Man Yan immediately became unhappy: "Hey, what are you doing? This is my apprentice."
Meng Yun's face turned pale with anxiety: "An Ning's identity has been exposed, and the emperor wants to execute her."
