The Jubei Palace has the structure of a royal palace.
Although the five claws of the golden dragon on the carved railings and pillars are not painted in gold, they are really showing their teeth and claws.
From this point alone, if you say that Sun Qian has no ambition, the geese passing by will spit on him.
Sun Qian, on the other hand, seemed extremely reserved and seemed to be incompatible with the palace.
The python robe could not cover his iron bones, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he laughed.
"The Master came from afar, but Sun Qian couldn't go out of the city to greet him. I hope you'll forgive me."
Youchuan has remained standing for thirty-seven years, and Sun Qian made the most of it.
Along the way to Mu'nan, merchants were prosperous, living and working in peace and contentment, and everything was prosperous.
Although the fog is a little thicker, such political achievements cannot be underestimated.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Mu Nan nodded slightly.
There was nothing wrong with him just nodding as a matter of etiquette, but Wang Liu, the general beside Sun Qian, was a little displeased.
He already regarded Sun Qian as an emperor.
No matter you are the protector of the country or the emperor, you must be polite and nod. What's going on?
He was ready to take the lead.
"Masters are thin-skinned and tender-bodied. They can stay aloof by just reciting some scriptures on weekdays. They are not like rough men like me who have to go into battle and kill the enemy just for an inch of success. In the end, the defense of the country depends on my own flesh and blood."
Wang Liu's words sounded reasonable at first, but in reality they were extremely unbearable. He was implicitly scolding Mu Nan for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation.
"It's true as the general said. Taoists have only learned a little etiquette and justice. Unlike the general, in addition to practicing etiquette, justice and integrity, he also has to go into battle to scold and fight."
Mu Nan was naturally not used to such rough people.
The words directly mocked Wang Liu for not knowing etiquette, justice and integrity.
Don't understand dignity and inferiority.
It’s just a matter of words.
"I wonder if the sharp tongue of a mage can compare to the giant ax in the hands of a young general?"
"Bang!"
The crested ax fell to the ground.
From Mu Nan's point of view, Wang Liu's attentiveness was indeed a bit lacking.
If this kind of person stayed in the palace, he would probably end up at the beginning of a TV series without even being given a special shot.
As a protector of the country, I have to be polite even to Sima Rui. How can a partial general do anything to stand out?
Not being mean?
"Snapped!"
Mu Nan turned sideways and slapped Wang Liu to the ground:
"If you dare to make noise again, you will be killed without mercy! If you can't figure out your position, you will go to the doghouse!"
Sun Qian watched the whole process and let Wang Liu do whatever he wanted.
Seeing Wang Liu being humiliated here, his eyes turned cold.
He never expected that the Protector of the Country would directly take action and slap Wang Liu in front of him.
Seeing that Wang stayed on the ground shaking his head for a long time, unable to recover, he must have used all his strength in the slap.
"Master, why are you so angry over a servant who doesn't understand the rules?"
How could Mu Nan not hear what he was saying?
To say that Wang Liu is a servant who doesn't understand the rules, doesn't that mean that he doesn't understand the rules either?
"How can a thief with such a high status dare to make a mistake! Who gave him the courage!"
Sun Qian smiled meaningfully.
The person in front of me looks young, but he is sharp and not a good person.
He kicked Wang Liu, who was still spinning on the ground, and said: "Master, the king has hosted a banquet in the palace, please come and have dinner with us."
"No need!"
Mu Nan said in a stern tone: "What kind of monster is causing trouble? To put it bluntly, Taoist people have other things to do and don't want to associate with a fly or a dog who doesn't understand dignity!"
Sun Qian has good self-cultivation skills.
From the beginning, he heard the accusations in Mu Nan's words.
Now I still point my fingers at the chickens and scold the dogs without mercy.
But he remained calm: "Since the Master has this intention, please forgive me for my improper hospitality! Xu Kuang, please tell the Master the whole story."
"Wait!"
Mu Nan stretched out his hand to stop Xu Kuang who was about to step forward, took out a small box and handed it over: "Your Majesty, I am entrusted by my old friend to pass this thing on to you."
After that, he turned around and walked out of Prince Jubei's Mansion.
He was entrusted with the task of being a loyal person and transferred the small box to Sun Qian. He did not want to stay in the Jubei Palace for a moment.
Like a awn on the back.
Xu Kuang stood there blankly, not knowing whether to chase after him or wait for Sun Qian to give another order.
Sun Qian opened the small box disdainfully, glanced at the jade pendant, and showed a hint of panic.
He quickly covered it up and said, "Don't follow me!"
After saying that, he caught up with Mu Nan in a few steps, cupped his hands and said:
"Master, I wonder who entrusted this thing to you?"
Seeing that his tone had become softer and his attitude more respectful, Mu Nan slowed down and said, "Queen Mother Wang Huiying."
"ah!"
Sun Qian was stunned on the spot, then jogged two steps to catch up with Mu Nan: "Master, are you saying that this thing has always been in the hands of the Queen Mother?"
Mu Nan looked at him squarely for the first time.
The eyebrows looked familiar.
After looking at him for a moment, his eyebrows and face were very similar to Sima Rui's.
A ridiculous idea came to Mu Nan's mind.
Could it be that Sima Rui's surname is actually Sun?
“It’s time to repay the romantic debt from back then!”
Mu Nan just tried to deceive him symbolically, but his tone seemed meaningful.
In fact, he was not sure in his heart.
There are billions of people in the world, and there are many similar people, and there are many coincidences.
Sun Qian grimaced.
Or because of the turmoil in his heart, he lost his sense of proportion and said bluntly:
"Back then, I got mad after drinking, got into trouble, and..."
Seeing Sun Qian's hesitation, Mu Nan knew that his suspicion was quite correct.
Then he said without leaving a trace: "Whether Da Fengchao's surname is Ma or Sun is not inappropriate for Taoists, but the peace of the country and the people are the welfare of all people."
Sun Qian had no expression on his face, but he fully understood the meaning.
He always thought that he only had one son, Sun Wuji, who was still a troublemaker everywhere.
Of course, with his power to resist the Northern King, even if Sun Wuji rebelled, he could still keep Sun Wuji alive.
But Sun Wuji was trapped and killed by a resentful spirit!
It was still in the capital city of Jiankang guarded by the Protector of the Country.
Anyone who can sit in this position is not a simple-minded person.
He had a vague feeling that this matter was not as simple as the revenge of the resentful soul, and he was afraid that the Protector of the Country might also have some connivance in it.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of Yinghe's evil spirit to do evil, he wanted to meet the protector of the country to find out the truth.
He was even prepared to avenge the loss of his son through the hands of others.
But a jade pendant stirred up his dusty memories.
That year, he dug the Ying River and killed 170,000 Northern Wei soldiers, achieving a great victory in the campaign.
The scenery in the court hall was unique.
After drinking a few too many drinks at the celebration banquet, he took advantage of the drunkenness and "stumbled" into the harem.
During the struggle of Yu Shui Huan, the jade pendant around his waist was lost...
For more than ten years, he has always been worried and cautious, fearing that his affair would be exposed overnight.
How do you know that the flowers planted deliberately for so many years have not bloomed as much as the willows planted unintentionally.
The young emperor who ranked ninth in the court was actually his own son!
What a bloody mess!
"Master..." Sun Qian's attitude instantly became more respectful, like a courtier's.
"The thief said, let you taste my axe!"
Wang Liu calmed down, and his first thought was to take the phoenix head ax and fight Mu Nan.
Shengsheng interrupted Sun Qian's next words.
Unexpectedly, before he could reach three feet in front of Mu Nan carrying the fat, Sun Qian stepped forward and intercepted him halfway.
"Snapped!"
This slap was no lighter than Mu Nan's.
"Wang Liu, the partial general, does not abide by the law and discipline, has lawless eyes, and is armed with fifty military sticks!"
Sun Qian gave the order fiercely.
It turns out that his subordinates are always trying to make a show of wearing a yellow robe.
Not anymore.
The person sitting in the court was his own son.
Seeing this, Mu Nan relaxed his frown.
If Wang Liu still didn't know whether to live or die, he was prepared to let Wang Liu lie in bed for half his life without having to go to the ground.
"Master!" Sun Qian ran up to Mu Nan in small steps and cupped his hands:
"My subordinates don't understand the rules and will be given minor punishments. They are often negligent. Please don't mind me, Master."
"It doesn't matter!"
Mu Nan said it calmly, but in his heart he was filled with emotion.
In my previous life, I loved watching palace fighting dramas. I always felt that the plots in them were extremely bloody, but I couldn't help but be curious.
In this life, he used the methods skillfully.
He was intimidated and lured, his emotions and anger were indistinguishable, and he also witnessed a bloody plot of unparalleled proportions.
Not in vain.
"Thank you Master for your kindness!" Sun Qian apologized on behalf of Wang Liu, and then said: "Master arrived in Jubeicheng and has not yet appreciated its beauty. If you allow me to do my best, I will not let Master down."
Mu Nan took a look and saw that Sun Qian's words were indeed sincere, but he still refused:
"The prince is interested. Let Xu Kuang lead the Taoist to Yinghe without any further delay."
The circles are different, so there is no need to force integration.
"Then I will personally lead the mage there!"
Regardless of whether Mu Nan agreed or not, Sun Qian shouted: "Come, prepare a thousand-mile horse!"
