The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C359
“It’s right in front of us.” Jia Linnuo brought Mu Ying and walked for a while, only to see an ancient looking big house, with a tall and big ancient tree sticking out from the wall. Two skilled stone lions were placed at the entrance. Although the entire building looked simple, it was very imposing.
Mu Ying sized up the house, it must be very old, seems like Jia Linnuo’s words about the three dynasties were not wrong.
“Hurry up and report to father that I’m back.” Jia Linnuo walked in with Mu Ying and instructed the servant beside him.
“Yes.” The attendant happily left. Jia Linnuo walked towards the Palace under the escort of everyone.
“Miss, you’ve finally returned. We missed you so much.”
“Yeah, you’re not here. We’re bored.” The other servants also could not stop themselves from discussing amongst themselves.
It seemed that Jia Linnuo had a good relationship with everyone, and did not have any airs of being a lady.
“Is that so?” “I’m not here. Do you guys have a good job? Don’t think about playing all day.” Jia Linnuo said in all seriousness. Just when everyone was wondering why the Miss had changed her personality, she suddenly laughed out loud, “I’m teasing you guys, I’ll bring you guys to play games in two days.”
“Sure, thank you, Miss.” The servants who followed her all became happy.
Seeing him like this, Mu Ying felt that he was a bit similar to Xue Moyun, despite his handsome appearance.
Just as he was talking, he saw Lord Jia walking over from the corridor in a hurry, and asked: “Where is young miss?”
“Right there.” The servant pointed in Jia Linnuo’s direction as she spoke.
“Aiya, my good daughter, you’re back.” The Old Master opened his arms excitedly towards Jia Linnuo.
“Father.” Hearing his father’s call, Jia Linnuo turned and ran towards Lord Jia in a spoiled manner.
“Dad, I missed you so much. Are you alright?” The father and daughter pair hugged for a while before Jia Linnuo finally let go and asked in concern.
“Dad is fine. You are fine.” As Lord Jia said this, his eyes suddenly turned red.
“When Father heard that you were assassinated, he was worried to death. Your mother is worried too. Quickly go and see her.” The Lord Jia said.
“It’s fine, they can’t hurt me yet. I’m fine now, aren’t I? My daughter is unfilial, I’ve made you all worry.” Jia Linnuo said as she knelt down guiltily.
“Get up.” Lord Jia helped Jia Linnuo up.
“Quickly go and see your mother. She will definitely be happy to see that you are safe and sound.”
“Alright.” Just as Jia Linnuo was about to go and see his mother, she suddenly remembered Mu Ying who was standing at the side all along. Thus, she called a maid over. “Go and report to my wife that I’m safe and sound. Tell her that I’ll be there to meet her in a moment.”
“You …” Lord Jia did not understand what she meant.
At this time, Jia Linnuo walked in front of Mu Ying and said to the Lord Jia, “Father, come. As she spoke, she introduced Mu Ying over.
“This is the Young Master Mu that I met on my way here. He knows some martial arts and is definitely not someone from the pond. Thus, I specially recommended him to you. ” Jia Linnuo introduced.
“Greetings Lord Jia.” After Jia Linnuo finished her introduction, she went forward and respectfully bowed.
Lord Jia looked at Mu Ying for a bit, and then smiled. Seeing the imposing manner between Mu Ying’s brows, he knew that Mu Ying was not an ordinary person.
“Alright, alright, alright. You found a helper for Father. Come, let’s talk inside.” Lord Jia said to Mu Ying.
“Bring some tea.” When they arrived at the guest hall, Lord Jia instructed a few people and sat down.
At this time, Jia Linnuo took the opportunity to tell Lord Jia that Mu Ying wanted to find a wife.
“Is your wife really taken away by the Minhan family people?” Lord Jia was in disbelief.
“It is absolutely true. It is just that I do not know where they are currently locked up, and am indebted to Miss Jia for her recommendation, which is why I have come to ask for Lord Jia’s help.” Mu Ying pleaded respectfully once again.
“It’s not the first time Minhan family has tried to steal a girl. By virtue of their power and influence, the Mingham family had provoked the wrath of the people. In the imperial court, the Prime Minister had great authority, and he interfered with the royal family’s power. It’s a pity that we played the music many times, but the king only gave us a few words of rebuke. ” Lord Jia’s words were full of dissatisfaction towards the Min Han family and disappointment towards the king.
“Other than you, Lord Jia, has no one else come up to sing another song?” Mu Ying asked in confusion.
“Sigh …” After he finished speaking, Lord Jia stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and said with a face full of worry: “Currently, the imperial court has already been divided into two factions. One faction is headed by Prime Minister Minhan, and among them, besides most of the Minhan family, there are many other faction members, all of whom flatter the Prime Minister with malicious flattery, all of whom have long since lost sight of the king. ”
“What about the other faction?”
“One faction is made up of loyal people like us. We hope to bring down the Min Han family and keep them under the king’s banner.” Lord Jia shook his head.
“But the king listens to the slanderous words of the king, and his personal officials are far away, and many of the loyal officials who enter and remonstrate with him are either the victims or exiled and put in prison, and the Minhans are all the more proud of themselves. It’s a pity that the king is in such a good mood, and doesn’t know the state’s situation at all. ”
Speaking to this point, Lord Jia was also filled with grief, worry, hatred for his failure to live up to expectations.
“Father, come.” Seeing that, Jia Linnuo quickly went up to appease her father and passed a cup of tea to Lord Jia.
“My father had also tried to persuade the king many times, but the king had not only refused to listen to him, but had also become more and more dissatisfied with him and blamed him for it. Fortunately, my grandfather was an elder of three dynasties and his family was loyal for generations. Jia Linnuo continued.
Lord Jia took the tea and poured the tea cup lid a few times. Hearing Jia Linnuo’s words, she placed the tea to the side and sighed.
Mu Ying had also heard about the matter of the comfort base being deceitful and deceitful, but he didn’t expect that the situation would have reached such a stage. Seeing how worried the Lord Jia was about the country and looking like a loyal subject, due to the respect in his heart, he had to spit a few words.
He walked forward and cupped his hands towards Lord Jia: “Since that’s the case, then I have a few ungrateful words that I must say, please do not blame me, my lord.”
Hearing Mu Ying say that, Lord Jia became alert, he thought for a moment, then released his mouth: “There’s only the few of us, speak freely.”
After hearing Lord Jia say this, Mu Ying then slowly said, “Under the previous king’s rule, the comfort zone is already a great nation that is renowned far and wide. In the entire world, the number of countries that can contend against it can be counted on one hand. The comfort zone had always been on good terms with the other countries, and everyone was at peace, which was why the country’s strength had grown so quickly. This is the result of the previous king and the various ministers’ painstaking efforts. It is unknown just how much sweat and blood they have paid for it. ” Mu Ying said.
Hearing Mu Ying say this, the Lord Jia nodded his head unconsciously. He recalled his grandfather and father back then, and how he used all his effort to save Mu Ying, allowing him to prosper today.
“But after the new monarch ascended the throne, he believed in villains, harmed loyalties, and invaded the neighboring countries wantonly, in an attempt to expand his territory. However, not only did this deplete the country’s strength, it also created enemies in all directions, leading to a situation of a group attack. The people had been in war all year round, suffering unspeakably. In the long run, the country was in danger. I’m afraid that the rivers and mountains that the previous kings painstakingly laid down have not only been seized by villains, they may even cease to exist. ”
And upon hearing Mu Ying’s words, the Lord Jia was even more miserable, his heart burning with anxiety. Indeed, Mu Ying was not exaggerating. Right now, there were internal and external problems and the so-called bustling scene was just a facade.
“I did not expect you to be so thorough in your analysis of the affairs of the people and your own original views on the affairs of the people. It really made me look at her in a different light. “Then, based on the current situation, what method do you have to save our country?” Jia Linnuo said in admiration. Lord Jia also looked towards Mu Ying with anticipation.
Mu Ying had always been assisting the Emperor with national affairs. In his opinion, these things could not be any simpler.
“This, since the two of you want me, Mu Ying, to speak, I will not defend myself. Now that the little man was in charge of the Dao, the king was too disrespectful and useless. He did not listen to advice, and had already lost the will of the people. Only by supporting the new ruler and eliminating the treacherous officials can we save the country. ” Mu Ying boldly said.
Other people definitely would not dare to say these words, but Mu Ying was not afraid to say anything. This was the best redemption for the comfort base, or else it would have died without a doubt for its foolishness and loyalty. Only those who truly loved her could think of such a method.
When Mu Ying finished speaking, he saw that both Lord Jia and Jia Linnuo were staring at Mu Ying with their mouths agape. They never thought that he would actually dare to say such outrageous words. How could he dare to declare it in front of the Lord Jia?
“How dare you!” “How dare you preach such rebellious words, I think you don’t want to live anymore.” After being silent for a while, Lord Jia suddenly became angry and bellowed.
“He was just speaking casually and didn’t have any other intentions. Father, please don’t blame him.” Jia Linnuo hurriedly pleaded for.
However, even in the face of Lord Jia’s scolding, Mu Ying’s expression did not change as he calmly stood in the same place: “What I’m saying, is something that Lord Jia wants to say, but does not dare to say, and does not dare to do. In the Lord Jia, loyalty was not loyalty, but stupidity. If we do not save the country now, perhaps more loyal officials will be maimed, more people will be displaced, and the comfort zone will not be able to hold for many days. ”
“How dare you frame me!” Lord Jia was even more furious.
“Mu Ying, stop talking, father …” Jia Linnuo was mixed in the middle, making things difficult for both sides.
“Since Master is so loyal, then I have to say, my paths are different and I am not scheming. Mu Ying will take his leave.” Mu Ying turned and walked out the door after he finished speaking.
“Halt!” Just as Mu Ying was about to leave, the Lord Jia behind him suddenly called out to him. He slowly walked forward, circled around Mu Ying once, and suddenly laughed out loud.
“Hahaha, indeed, I am not mistaken. You are no ordinary character. My good daughter, you found me a good helper. ” Lord Jia said to Jia Linnuo.
Mu Ying turned around and glanced at the two of them in puzzlement.
“Congratulations, Father.” Jia Linnuo stepped forward and started laughing as well.
