I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 972: Chaos in the city.

The Royal Palace, the Palace of Political Affairs.

Next to the dragon table, there is a slightly shorter table.

Lu Chongyun handed the memorial in his hand to Mu Zhen.

"Brother Mu, is there still no news from the prince?"

"Um……"

Mu Zhen tapped his crippled left leg and looked out the window.

Li Mu has been missing for nearly half a year.

It was still midsummer when I left, but now it is already late autumn.

"I've been waking up late at night lately."

"Those girls will go together to look for him, along with His Majesty..."

"Hey……"

Lu Chongyun also sighed, noticing the gloom in Mu Zhen's eyes, frowned, and changed the subject.

"Forget it, maybe that boy just doesn't want to deal with state affairs, and took those girls to travel around."

"Brother Mu, I heard from Sun Shaoqing that Mr. Ru Jun is leaving the capital."

"Today, you..."

"Me what?" Mu Zhen slammed the memorial on the desk with a somewhat unhappy tone.

"You know what happened back then. Now that she has figured it out, she should go home."

"Is it possible that I will live in the Taiwei Mansion for the rest of my life?"

Hearing this, Lu Chongyun showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he slapped the table and said,

"Forget it, I won't hide it from Brother Mu!"

"Actually, it was my wife's idea!"

"My wife and Mr. Rujun are cousins ​​no matter what, even though they didn't see each other much in the past."

"But my wife is actually a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart..."

"Prime Minister Lu!" Mu Zhen tapped the table with his fingertips, his tone somewhat impatient.

"I know that Prime Minister Lu and his wife are deeply in love..."

"If you want to praise your own wife, I naturally can't say anything, but please, Prime Minister Lu, please pay attention to the occasion!"

"Brother Mu!" Lu Chongyun sighed. Since he had already spoken, he might as well act like a rogue.

"There are only you and me in this council hall."

"Tell me the truth, brother!"

"Are you really not interested in Mr. Rujun?"

"Snapped!"

"Lu Chongyun!" Mu Zhen slammed the table and pointed his finger at Lu Chongyun.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chongyun grabbed Mu Zhen's fingers and said with a smile,

"Brother Mu, don't worry. Just listen to me."

"Ridiculous!" Mu Zhen shook off Lu Chongyun's hand in disdain, and drove his wheelchair out of the hall.

"I am not feeling well, so I will return home first!"

"Brother Mu...Mu Zhen!"

Seeing that Mu Zhen was not moved, Lu Chongyun sighed secretly and simply shouted at the top of his voice,

"My wife said that Mr. Rujun was just waiting for that boy and wanted to say goodbye to him before leaving!"

"This morning, I can't wait any longer!"

"I think everyone has left the inner city now. If you don't chase them!"

"Don't regret it in the future..."

At this moment, a royal guard came towards them and bumped into Mu Zhen's wheelchair.

"Lu Xiang! Something happened. Something serious... Ouch."

"Duke Mu...I deserve to die. I didn't mean to offend Duke Mu!"

Hearing the noise, Lu Chongyun hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall.

He glanced at Mu Zhen and waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, how could Duke Mu be so petty as to argue with you?"

"What happened? You're so flustered."

"Report to Prime Minister Lu, the prefect of Jing'an sent someone to report that the military strategists and legalists have rebelled!"

Lu Chongyun was thinking about how to "cricket" Mu Zhen, this stubborn donkey who was too obsessed with face and suffered in his life.

When he heard the words of the Royal Guards, he was stunned for a moment.

After reacting, he turned his head sharply and said with rapid breathing,

"What did you say!"

"Reporting to Prime Minister Lu, according to the prefect, nearly a hundred warriors suddenly appeared in the capital."

"He killed everyone he saw. Nearly a thousand people have been killed by him."

"The prefect wants to ask for help from the city guards?"

At this time, Mu Zhen spoke.

Lu Chongyun raised his eyebrows and immediately denied it.

"Brother Mu! The prince and princess are not here, so the matter of mobilizing troops can be a big deal or a small one!"

"Minister Lu, don't rush to draw a conclusion!" Mu Zhen waved his hand and looked at the imperial guard who was delivering the message.

He immediately understood and said,

"Duke Mu is right."

"The prefect does hope that the court will send troops to suppress it."

Hearing this, Lu Chongyun frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Then I heard the unbelievable news.

"My Lords, according to what the prefect said."

"Among those one hundred warriors, the weakest one is only at the first level."

"There are countless high-level warriors!"

"This is impossible..." Lu Chongyun was about to question.

Mu Zhen spread out his palm and stretched it in front of him.

Lu Chongyun paused and frowned slightly.

He took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and placed it in Mu Zhen's hand.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Lu. I will go outside the city to mobilize troops now..." Mu Zhen bowed and was about to turn around.

At this moment, a female figure suddenly appeared in front of the three people.

The visitor was dressed in plain white mourning clothes and had no makeup on her face, but her beautiful face could not be concealed.

"Mr. Mu, I will go with you!"

...

...

The suburbs are about ten miles away from the capital.

The huge army moved forward slowly.

At the front of the army, King Jiang and his three brothers were riding their war horses, talking and laughing.

"Boss, how many years has it been since you last returned to the capital?"

"Do you still remember Miss Ruhua from Cuiyuxuan?"

Prince Yan shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.

"The princes are not allowed to enter the capital without a plan. Do you think I am as unruly as you?"

King Jiang narrowed his eyes, his old face as black as the bottom of a pot.

During this voyage, Li Laoer made fun of him a lot.

However, every time he was about to lose his temper, a word from the King of Yan always made him lose his temper.

"Are you going to repay kindness with enmity? My Mu'er saved your life!"

On the side, Emperor Hongwen had a blank expression on his face. His good mood had disappeared the moment he arrived in Jiangcheng.

He already knew what happened in the imperial city.

Zhao Chuxi rebelled, and Li Mu was crowned king to quell the rebellion.

Even that idiot Song Chun had the merit of defending Kyoto.

In the end, his family suffered the most among the three brothers.

"Grandpa Wang, let the army stop and rest for a while."

At this time, in the carriage at the rear of the team, Song Manman's little head poked out from behind the curtain and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, King Jiang's serious face softened for a moment, and he waved his hand and said,

"Pass the order down, the whole army sets up camp!"

After these words came out, Emperor Hongwen's face completely darkened, and he frowned and said,

"Brother, we can reach the capital in an hour at most...why not..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the King of Yan blew his beard.

"Third brother! You don't feel bad even though that child is not your own!"

"You talk as if they are your own flesh and blood." Emperor Hongwen retorted.

"Ah."

King Yan snorted softly, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"That's Mu'er's flesh and blood...how come it's not my Li family's flesh and blood?"

"After this meeting, this kid will have to call me father-in-law."

Before he left, he had asked Zhang Hanrui to arrange the marriage of Li Mu and Li Ling'er as soon as possible.

Although everyone was confident before going into battle.

But after all, we are going to war.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.

The King of Yan finally found a support for his precious daughter.

At this time, the scouts ahead suddenly reported,

"Your Majesty, there is riot in the city!"

"A large number of high-level warriors are slaughtering civilians in the city!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongwen was shocked and cursed,

"I think this Jing'an prefect's career has come to an end!"

He slapped the long sword at his waist and roared angrily,

"All soldiers, follow me to capture these bandits!"

"Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, the scout hurriedly stepped aside to block the horse of Emperor Hongwen and said urgently,

"Your Majesty, please be patient. The spies encountered the Dark Ice Guards when entering the city!"

"These warriors are extremely powerful. The ordinary guards are no match for them."

"The Empress and Lord Mu are on their way to the camp outside the city."

"Your Majesty, please stay in the army for the time being."

...

At the same time, in the north outer city.

"Teacher, these people don't look right."

In a plain-looking carriage, Liu Minglan held Murong Jinxiu's arm tightly, his body trembling slightly.

“Hiss… huh…hiss… huh.”

A dozen military warriors surrounded the carriage.

Their eyes were red and they were breathing heavily.

At this moment, Murong Jinxiu suddenly noticed a figure flashing quickly on the roof of a house beside the road.

When their eyes met, Murong Jinxiu's eyes showed some emotion, and she blurted out,

"Brother Mu, don't worry about me, just go away..."

However, she hadn't finished speaking yet.

Mu Zhen seemed to be protecting another woman in plain clothes. After a slight pause, he disappeared from her sight.
