The first reaction of people who have heard the name of the eldest princess is: she is a crazy woman.
But in fact, in this turbulent world where ruthless people appear, she is far from the only one who is crazy.
Chen Mu returned home, but before he got home, a carriage stopped in front of him. An old man who called himself Eunuch Hou announced that he should enter the palace to be a saint.
Chen Mu was deeply shocked. He didn't know how he got the emperor's attention. He guessed it was because of the eldest princess's personal opinion. At the same time, I was also surprised by the methods of the man in the palace. He went out secretly this morning, but Eunuch Hou was able to intercept him halfway. This intelligence ability is really extraordinary.
The emperor liked to summon others in the study, and Chen Mu was no exception. Eunuch Hou made a sound and voluntarily withdrew after Teng Zijin was brought. Chen Mu took a step forward, and then the emperor, who was writing at his desk, raised his head, his unfathomable eyes as sharp as an eagle's snake.
"Are you Chen Mu?"
Chen Mu was startled, and his body that was about to salute froze in place: How did the other party guess it? This is incredible.
"Teng Zijin, Clerk of the Supervisory Yuan, is here to see the Emperor."
"I said you are Chen Mu, you are Chen Mu."
"The name was given to the ancestors, and we don't dare to change it."
"Haha, sit down first, don't be nervous. I summoned you today because I have something to ask for your help."
"If I can serve the emperor, I will never hesitate to die."
The emperor put down his brush, sat upright, and asked: "Do you know the temple?"
Chen Mu kept his expression and said respectfully: "The national and ancestral temples are all temples."
"It seems you don't know. The temple I'm talking about is located in the far north, where countless miracles beyond mortal imagination are buried."
"The humble opinion of a humble minister has not been heard."
"Just listen to me."
"promise"
"In recent years, I have discovered that there are people in the temple who have infiltrated the government and the public. These people carry the plague and are infected, and they will feel rebellious. A rebellion many years ago was due to this. But now, this group of people Ready to start another incident.
well! When I think that the country will be in chaos and the people are in dire straits, my heart aches! You must already know about Princess Chen. The murderer of this matter is the forces of the temple. They will not give up until the world is destroyed. If we don't eradicate them, I won't feel at ease.
I met with Yin Guan in the capital this morning and asked him to retire and return home. On the way, I will send troops to pretend to be robbers to get rid of him because he has been infiltrated by the temple forces. Today, I secretly eliminated more than 190 people because they were brainwashed by the temple.
Unfortunately, no matter how I get rid of it, the temple forces still exist, and even the people around me are not immune. The plague has a constant source, and the infected will not be cut off. "
The emperor spoke heartbrokenly, and Chen Muchu understood that what the other party was talking about was about time travellers.
"The humble minister is frightened and is willing to help the emperor. Please give the emperor's orders."
"Very good, I found out that these people are looking for a man named Chen Mu to be their leader. Today, I will give you the name of Chen Mu, make you an official in the court, and find you two marriages by the way."
Chen Mu was shocked and was about to refuse the last item when the emperor had already spoken: "I know this matter will put you in danger, but don't worry, I will send someone to protect you at all times. I also know that you have a family, so I gave you an equal wife." Marriage. The woman’s status will not be too low, so this can be considered as compensation for you, how about it?”
"Everything is up to the Emperor."
Chen Mu answered without hesitation, because he knew that this was the emperor's plan, and he also knew that he could not change the emperor's decision. It just so happened that it was in his interest to disclose his identity, and the person he wanted to find would find him.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu left the palace. In the study room, Liu Guiren walked out of the bookshelf.
"Your Majesty, how are you sure he is Chen Mu?"
"What? You don't look like it?"
"I'm not very familiar with him. He was the roommate of my friend in my previous life."
"I'm not sure, but this letter makes it very clear, including the three hundred time-travelers you mentioned."
After saying that, the emperor did not hide it secretly and handed the new paper on the table to Liu Guiren.
In the afternoon of that day, a decree from the palace ignited public opinion in the city, becoming a bigger topic after the incident at the Princess's Mansion.
The general content is: Teng Zijin of the Supervisory Yuan, formerly known as Chen Mu, is actually a god who came from the temple. When the imperial study room saw him, he impressed the emperor with his all-knowing talents. The emperor was so excited that he directly promoted him to cabinet minister, made inquiries on national policy, and granted him two marriages in succession.
The backgrounds of these two women are not simple either. One is Fan Xiaomei, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the other is Li Jiarou, the royal princess.
In the evening, deep inside the Overwatch Council, a missionary session for the elders was going on.
There were only two people in the dark secret room. Fan Xian was extremely angry after hearing the news. At the same time, he also confirmed one thing: Teng Zijin must be a time traveler and took away his protagonist's halo.
First it was his fiancée, then his childhood sweetheart Fan Xiaomei, and now even the princess who admired him was brutally murdered. If he doesn't take action, I'm afraid all the women he could have will be taken away.
"What, haven't you calmed down yet?"
After a long while, Chen Laiping said with a smile: "If you are worried about your sister, then there is no need. Chen Mu will not live until the marriage is finalized."
Fan Xian was shocked: "How is it possible that the emperor appreciates him so much?"
"If you can calm down, you can understand."
Fan Xian thought deeply, then immediately raised his head and said, "The emperor is using him as bait."
"Yes, the emperor's thoughts have always been unpredictable, but I know this very well. He will not tolerate anyone threatening his kingdom, especially the people of the temple. Now, your opportunity has come. He asked me to kill the wrong one. No suspicious person in the temple will be spared. I will leave this matter to you.
Eradicating the temple people would solve the emperor's serious problem. When the time comes, he will reward you, and the Overwatch Council will eventually be yours. By seizing control of the inner treasury, your possibility of controlling this country will increase. "
Fan Xian was shocked. How could the other party dare to say such heart-wrenching words so clearly?
"Haha, you seem to be surprised. It doesn't have to be like this. This country was built by your mother. She is gone and it should be left to you to manage. As for that person who steals the world and bullies his reputation, he will be cut into pieces sooner or later."
Speaking of this, Chen Laiping's eyes flashed fiercely. Fan Xian was horrified and did not dare to refute, so he had to lower his head and pretend not to hear.
What Chen Mu didn't know was that before he entered the palace, the emperor's edict had been spread. So much so that he had just left the palace, and the news had already spread throughout the city.
From the moment he left the palace, Chen Mu noticed that a large number of people were secretly following him. He knew that this was the protector and supervisor sent by the emperor. Even though he was close to the ninth level, he felt the pressure.
Passing by Niulan Street, a carriage came toward me. At first, no one cared, including Chen Mu in the car. There was nothing unusual about the coachmen on both sides, just waving their whips.
boom--
The two carriages came to the same line, there was a sudden muffled sound, and the carriage Chen Mu was in exploded.
Almost no one saw a heavy arrow flying into the royal carriage. No one knew that Chen Mu reacted at the critical moment, and the two internal forces exchanged, causing the wooden carriage to fall apart.
"Catch the assassin."
Someone yelled in the dark, and a group of figures flashed out, but Chen Mu had already killed them first, picked up the scattered car shaft and slammed it down.
There was another collision, and the other carriage also exploded, and a majestic figure jumped to the ground.
"As expected of a second-level dream interpreter, he is indeed quite capable."
"Commander Yan"
Everyone was surprised when they recognized the identity of the murderer. And just as they were stunned for a moment, arrows flew from all directions.
"My target is Chen Mu. If you don't want to die, get out."
"Commander Yan, Mr. Chen is a national advisor appointed by the emperor. You can't rebel if you want to."
Another loud shout came. Chen Mu looked over and recognized Gong Dian, the emperor's personal guard.
Yan Xiaoyi did not answer, holding a long bow to express his attitude.
Gong Dian was shocked. He didn't expect that the commander-in-chief would dare to rebel so blatantly.
"Master Chen, let's go first."
Chen Mu originally wanted to test the opponent's details, but there were many people here, and he didn't know if there were other assassins, so it was the best choice for him to leave quickly.
After saying "take care", Chen Mu got on his horse and broke out. Protected by a group of guards, he left the killing field in the blink of an eye.
Yan Xiaoyi's ambush was something no one expected, and the implications were too wide. He also hid it too deeply, and the eldest princess, who had always trusted and favored him, might also be jealous of the emperor.
Of course, these issues were not what Chen Mu considered. What he wanted to know was whether Yan Xiaoyi was the one responsible for Skyfall, and what role he played in it?
Soon after returning to the mansion, he was suddenly alerted by several large cars and rows of guards in front of the door.
When he entered the living room, he realized that there were guests at home, and there were quite a few of them. The second prince, brother and sister Li Hongcheng, and little sister Fan possessed by Jiangnan.
After saying hello and saying the courtesy, Chen Muzheng wanted to ask everyone why they came, but the second prince spoke first.
"From today on, Brother Chen is no longer an outsider. We are very curious. Is the news coming from the palace today true?"
Jiang Nan was still looking at the green tassel gun on the wall. Hearing this, he quickly answered: "Yes, the emperor really gave me and Princess Jiarou to you?"
The second prince's face changed slightly. He wanted to ask about Chen Mu's identity. Jiang Nan interrupted and laughed, "Of course my father's words are true. I'm just curious about Brother Chen's origin. Is there really such a thing as a temple in the world?" trace?"
Chen Mu pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I might as well tell you the truth, I don't know anything about the temple, and Chen Mu's name was given by His Majesty."
"I heard that you also recited a poem for my father, called Manjianghong. This should be Brother Chen's own."
Chen Mu's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of something. He deliberately smiled bitterly and said: "I'm ashamed, this is also borrowed from my ancestors."
"Sure enough, you are Chen Mu."
The second prince's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted with a cold tone: "Do it."
At the command, Li Hongcheng and his sister suddenly pulled out their firearms, and a group of men in black broke in, also holding weapons in their hands.
Something unexpected happened, and Chen Mu and Chen Mu stood up and were pointed at guns so that they did not dare to act rashly. Jiang Nan's face turned pale with fright, and he hid behind Chen Mu as quickly as possible.
"Second Prince, what does this mean?"
"We are all sensible people, so why bother pretending? You stole my favorite woman and killed my most effective subordinate. Do you still want to be safe?"
At this time, Li Luo, who was observing from the sidelines, suddenly interjected: "You are Wang Nian, and the human trafficking incident in Dreamland at Hushan Wharf was really your fault."
"and who are you?"
"Master, if things are too late, things will change."
After hearing the reminder, the second prince gritted his teeth and gave up on any idea of humiliating Chen Mu, and pulled the safety button without saying a word.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that your consciousness protection helmet was damaged by me, haha."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second prince was about to shoot. There was a commotion outside the house. He turned around subconsciously, and Li Luo and Li Luo immediately took the opportunity to rush into the back hall.
