Chapter 56 Mu Changtian's Speculation

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

The caravan was very quiet, and there were only the sounds of horse hooves and wheels on the road.

After a night of traveling, the people in the Mu Mansion were tired. At this time, the female family members of the Mu Mansion basically closed their eyes and fell asleep.

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

Especially Mu Changtian and his two sons.

They sat in the carriage, looking at the mountains in the distance, and didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

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

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

Mu Xingping immediately asked: "Dad, you didn't see it wrong?"

Mu Changtian looked at the green mountains in the distance and replied: "I have been to Beijun many times to resist the invasion of barbarians. How could I be wrong? This is indeed the road to Beijun."

Speaking of this, Mu Changtian frowned.

Last night, Liang Zong did not tell them where to go. After they got on the carriage, Liang Zong's people immediately led the way in front.

Because it was too dark at that time, Mu Changtian did not see clearly which direction they were going.

When it was dawn, Mu Changtian saw clearly that he found many iconic peaks, which he had seen when he led the army to Beijun to resist the barbarians.

He was very familiar with Beijun, and some roads in Beijun had long been remembered in his mind.

After hearing what Mu Changtian said, Mu Xingping guessed: "Dad, could it be that the prince they are talking about is the Ninth Prince?!"

Mu Jingwu's tone was a little trembling, and he obviously did not dare to believe what he said.

How could they not know who the Ninth Prince was.

Although the Ninth Prince was already Mu Zixuan's husband, everyone in the Mu Guogong Mansion still regarded the Ninth Prince as a lazy and greedy waste prince.

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

"This..." Mu Xingping was silent for a moment and then said, "That's true. Why did they take us to Beijun?"

"Beijun is the fief 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 his head and looked at his father, hoping that he could know something.

At this time, Mu Changtian frowned and his expression was a little serious. He pondered for a long time before speaking, "It's indeed impossible to be the Ninth Prince, but I suspect that the prince went to Beijun. He should want to discuss something with me in Beijun."

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

At this point, Mu Changtian paused and didn't continue. His face became serious again.

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

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

When Mu Changtian said this, the two brothers Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping were stunned instantly.

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

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

After hearing what Mu Changtian said, Mu Jingwu hurriedly said: "Dad, if it is really the barbarians, then we still surrender to them, wouldn't we really become traitors?"

Mu Jingwu has a clear sense of right and wrong in his heart. There is no problem for him to betray Emperor Xia. After all, Emperor Xia abandoned them and even wanted their lives.

But if they are asked to betray the entire Daxia, betray the people of Daxia, and then become the butcher knife in the hands of the barbarians, and in turn slaughter the people of Daxia, this Mu Jingwu can't do.

He doesn't want to be a sinner of the nation.

After hearing his son's words, Mu Changtian fell silent for a long time.

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

But if he was asked to join the barbarians, he would be unwilling to do so.

When the barbarians invaded Daxia, they killed so many civilians in Daxia, and how many of his soldiers died in the hands of the barbarians. It would be better to let him die than to join the barbarians and become their running dogs.

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

"You haven't slept for a night. Close your eyes and take a nap. It will take many days to reach Beijun."

...

Daxia, the capital.

The imperial garden of the palace.

After hearing the report from the leader of the shadow guards, Emperor Xia always felt that his intelligence was weird everywhere.

His face looked very bad. At this time, the entire Imperial Garden was extremely quiet. Only the sound of crucian carps in the lotus pond flipping out of the water could be heard.

After a long while, Emperor Xia spoke: "Three masters, facing a person whose power was exhausted, were finally dragged down by the other party and died together, hehe."

Emperor Xia's voice was very cold, and it exerted a huge pressure on the people in the Imperial Garden.

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

Although Daxia also has many masters, it is not so easy to cultivate masters. Killing a dying man means losing three masters. How can Emperor Xia be happy?

At this time, Emperor Xia asked: "I am very curious, why Mu Changtian was able to perform the Blood Burning Technique in the end, shouldn't his power be dissipated?"

At this point, Emperor Xia turned his head and looked at the national teacher Situ Ce in the pavilion.

"National teacher, are you sure you sensed that Mu Changtian's power dissipated?"

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Situ Ce knew that Emperor Xia was doubting him, and he asked: "Your Majesty, do you think I didn't give him the power-dispersing pill?"

Emperor Xia said lightly: "I just want to know why the power-dispersing pill didn't work on him."

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

Situ Ce then said: "I did sense that Mu Changtian's internal power had dissipated. As for why he could still use the Blood Burning Technique, I'm afraid someone gave him a small pill in prison to restore some of his power."

After hearing what Situ Ce said, Emperor Xia remembered that although there were not many pills in this world that could restore power, they still existed.

Especially those sects, who were quite knowledgeable about pills that could restore power.

At this time, Emperor Xia immediately said to the Shadow Guard Commander: "Check! Check for me immediately. I want to see who is so bold that he dares to go against me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'll take my leave."

The Shadow Guard Commander then turned and left.

Looking at the back of the Shadow Guard Commander leaving, Emperor Xia said to himself: "Mu Changtian is my good minister. Before he died, he helped me solve a problem."

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

Emperor Xia initially used Chen Pengyi mainly to deal with Mu Changtian. Now that Mu Changtian has been dealt with, Chen Pengyi has lost his role. He originally planned to find an excuse to get rid of Chen Pengyi after he came back.

But now, Mu Changtian and Chen Pengyi have died together.

Now the military power of Daxia is completely in his hands. With the military power, he should do what he wants.
