Chapter 56 Mu Changtian’s speculation

In the early morning, a convoy was driving on the bumpy road.

The convoy was very quiet, and the only sounds from the few houses on the road were the horses' hooves and wheels.

After a night of traveling all night, everyone in the Mu Mansion was already tired. At this time, most of the female family members of the Mu Mansion closed their eyes and fell asleep.

But at this time, the men in Mu Mansion could not sleep for a long time.

Especially Mu Changtian and his son.

They sat on the carriage and looked at the mountains in the distance, not knowing what they were thinking.

At this time, Mu Changtian suddenly said: "This is the way to Beijun."

Hearing this, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping, who were already a little tired, instantly became energetic.

Mu Xingping immediately asked: "Dad, did you read that correctly?"

Mu Changtian looked at the green mountains in the distance and replied: "I have gone to Beijun many times to resist barbarian invasions. How could I be wrong? This is indeed the way to Beijun."

Speaking of this, Mu Changtian frowned.

Last night, Liang Zong didn't tell them where they were going. After they got on the carriage, Liang Zong's people immediately led the way.

Because it was too dark at the time, Mu Changtian didn't see clearly which direction they were walking in.

When it was daybreak, Mu Changtian could see clearly. He discovered many iconic peaks, which he had seen before when he led his army to Beijun to resist the barbarians.

He is very familiar with North County, and some of the roads in North County have long been remembered in his mind.

After hearing Mu Changtian's words, Mu Xingping guessed and said, "Dad, is it possible that the prince they are talking about is the Ninth Prince?!"

Mu Jingwu's tone was trembling, and he obviously couldn't believe what he said.

How could they not know who the Ninth Prince was.

Although the Ninth Prince is already Mu Zixuan's husband, everyone in Mu Guogong's palace still regards the Ninth Prince as a lazy and hedonistic good-for-nothing prince.

As soon as Mu Xingping finished speaking, Mu Jingwu spoke up and said, "Xingping, what are you thinking about? How could he be the Ninth Prince? Don't you still know what kind of person he is?"

"This..." Mu Xingping said after a moment of silence: "That's true, then why did they take us to Beijun?"

"Beijun is the fiefdom of the Ninth Prince, so the prince of Beijun can only be the Ninth Prince?"

Hearing Mu Xingping's words, Mu Jingwu didn't say anything. He just turned to look at his father, hoping that he would know something.

At this time, Mu Changtian's brows were furrowed and his expression was a little serious. He thought for a long time before he said: "It is indeed impossible to be the Ninth Prince, but I suspect that the prince went to Beijun. He probably wanted to discuss something with me in Beijun. .”

"Of course, there is another possibility..."

At this point, Mu Changtian paused and did not continue. His face became a little more serious again.

Seeing his face so gloomy, Mu Jingwu immediately asked: "Dad, is there still that possibility?"

Mu Changtian thought for a moment and said: "It is possible that the person who saves us is not the prince of Daxia, but the barbarians!"

As soon as Mu Changtian said these words, brothers Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping were stunned for an instant.

Mu Changtian continued: "The barbarians are in the north. They asked us to go to their territory, so naturally we have to pass through Beijun."

"And they also have reasons for doing this. I know Daxia very well. Winning over me will make it easier for them to attack Daxia in the future."

After hearing what Mu Changtian said, Mu Jingwu quickly said: "Dad, if they are really barbarians, then if we still surrender to them, wouldn't we really become traitors?"

Mu Jingwu had a clear sense of right and wrong in his heart, so there was no problem at all for him to betray Emperor Xia. After all, Emperor Xia abandoned them and even wanted their lives.

But if they were allowed to betray the entire Daxia, betray the people of Daxia, and then become butcher's knives in the hands of the barbarians, and in turn massacre the people of Daxia, Mu Jingwu would not be able to do it.

He did not want to become a sinner of the nation.

After hearing his son's words, Mu Changtian fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.

His inner thoughts were actually the same as Mu Jingwu's. If he was just asked to surrender to a certain prince in Daxia, he would definitely not hesitate.

But if he were asked to seek refuge with the barbarians, he would be extremely reluctant.

Back then, the barbarians invaded Daxia and killed many civilians in Daxia, and how many of his soldiers died at the hands of the barbarians. If he were to join the barbarians and become their lackey, it would be better to let him die. .

After thinking for a while, Mu Changtian said: "Okay, it's useless to think about it now. When we get to Beijun, we will know who the mysterious prince they talk about is."

"I haven't slept all night, so you should close your eyes and get some sleep. It will take many days to reach Bei County."

…

Daxia, Beijing.

Royal Palace Garden.

After hearing the report from the Shadow Guard Commander, Emperor Xia always felt that his information revealed something strange.

His face looked very ugly. At this time, the entire imperial garden was extremely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the crucian carp jumping out of the water in the lotus pond.

After a long while, Emperor Xia finally said: "Three grandmasters, facing a man whose power was exhausted, were actually dragged to death together by him, haha."

Emperor Xia's voice was cold, which invisibly exerted tremendous pressure on the people in the imperial garden.

Obviously, Emperor Xia was in a very bad mood at this time.

Although there are many grandmasters in Daxia, it is not easy to cultivate grandmasters. Killing a dying person means losing three grandmasters, which makes Emperor Xia very happy.

At this time, Emperor Xia asked: "I'm very curious as to why Mu Changtian was able to use the blood-burning technique in the end. Shouldn't his power have been exhausted?"

Having said this, Emperor Xia turned to look at the national master Situ Ce in the pavilion.

"National Master, are you sure you sensed that the power in Mu Changtian's body dissipated?"

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Situ Ce knew that Emperor Xia was suspicious of him. He asked, "Your Majesty, do you think I didn't give him the San Gong Pill?"

Emperor Xia said calmly: "I just want to know why the San Gong Pill has no effect on him."

Emperor Xia was more suspicious, and he knew that Situ Ce himself wanted to protect Mu Changtian, so she had to suspect that Situ Ce had played some tricks on him.

Situ Ce then said: "I did feel that the power in Mu Changtian's body had dissipated. As for why he was still able to use the blood-burning method, I'm afraid someone gave him the Xiaohuan Dan in prison, which allowed him to partially recover. Skill."

Hearing what Situ Ce said, Emperor Xia suddenly remembered that although there were not many elixirs in this world that could restore skills, they still existed.

Especially those sects that have done a lot of research on elixirs for restoring skills.

At this time, Emperor Xia immediately said to the commander of the shadow guards: "Check! Check it for me immediately. I want to see who is so brave and dares to go against me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My subordinates resign."

The Shadow Guard Commander then turned and left.

Looking at the shadow guard commander's leaving figure, Xia Huang said to himself: "Mu Changtian is a good minister of mine. He even helped me solve a problem before he died."

The trouble that Emperor Xia was talking about was obviously referring to Chen Pengyi, Mu Changtian's student.

Emperor Xia reused Chen Pengyi at the beginning mainly to deal with Mu Changtian. Now that Mu Changtian was dealt with, Chen Pengyi had lost his role. Originally, he planned to wait for Chen Pengyi to come back and find an excuse to get rid of him too.

But now it's better, Mu Changtian and Chen Pengyi died together.

Now Daxia's military power is completely in his hands. With military power, he should do what he wants to do.
