Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

By the creek, Gu Xu and his group stopped to rest.

The horses were eating grass and drinking water by the river. Wuyun built a simple fire pit and skewered the raw meat he had caught and roasted it.

Gu Xu took the map and looked at it carefully.

"Not long after passing Sanmen Pass is Chang'an. There is a post road in between. All kinds of news from Luoyang are sent to Chang'an through this post road, and then sent to various places in the northwest." Wu Yan pointed to the map and said, "If the food and grass come from the direction of Luozhou, they will definitely pass through here."

"The harvest was good in the first half of the year, and the grain reserves in the northwest are abundant. Ganzhou does not need to transport grain from the Central Plains for the time being." Gu Xu said, "If the war drags on for too long, it may not be certain."

"What does the master mean?" Wu Yan asked.

"Find out the food route and act accordingly." Gu Xu said, "We left the city too early, so the news from the capital cannot be delivered for the time being. Let's go to Chang'an first to see if there is any news from the capital."

"Wulin and Wuguo have already gone to Sanmen Pass." Wuyan said.

Wu Fei was feeding homing pigeons. The cage was full of directional homing pigeons that Wu Men had trained, and all had tags on their legs.

Gu Xu rolled up the map.

"Everything is ready, we just have to wait until we get to Chang'an..." Gu Xu said to himself.

……

At General Mu’s residence.

"Why would Chen'er suddenly ask to go to the border?!" Mu You's face was gloomy.

The General's Mansion had been in a low pressure for a day. When Mu You learned that the Fifth Prince would accompany him, he immediately sent a letter to the palace, requesting to meet with the Fifth Prince and Concubine Mu, but this action did not receive a response.

Seeing Qin Zhaochen in a young general's uniform and looking high-spirited at the Suzaku Gate, Mu You felt angry. He wanted to meet the Fifth Prince, but the eunuchs around the Fifth Prince refused him on the grounds that the ceremony was too serious to talk privately until the ceremonial procession left the city.

"This bastard!" Mu You slammed the table fiercely. The servants and maids around him lowered their heads, pretending that they had not heard him insult the prince.

At home he was never the good general who was loved by the people.

"Xiaowu has not been very obedient since two years ago." said the eldest son Mu Luan. He has the title of General Dingyuan and has always worked under Mu You.

"Empress Mu said there was nothing unusual. This evil girl must have lied to me." Mu You said slowly.

"My sister has always been obedient, so she shouldn't do that." Mu Luan said, "Could it be that Xiaowu is getting older and has his own ideas? But this is too reckless."

"The emperor is really willing to do this! He seems to favor Xiaowu the most, but he also protects Qin Zhaoyue everywhere..." Mu You looked gloomy.

"Write a letter to the palace immediately and ask Concubine Mu what is going on!"

"Father, that Ganzhou..."

"Of course, we'll ask Xiaowu to perform some meritorious deeds! Are we going to let Qin Zhaoyue take on this great feat? Contact Deputy General Geng and ask him to find a chance... to get rid of the crown prince!"

"This……"

"That's it! On the battlefield, no one cares whether your head is noble or not!" Mu You said angrily.

……

in the palace.

Concubine Mu received the letter from home, but she didn't even read it and just burned it on the candle.

"Your Majesty, this..." the maid Zuichun said in panic.

"What could it be? It's just that simple thing." Concubine Mu turned her attention back to the pile of gifts the emperor had just given her. She opened a palm-sized box, which contained a full green jade bracelet. She took it out of the box and put it on her hand beautifully.

"It's a good thing that Xiaowu has been trained again and has benefits to gain. Why can't he figure it out?" Mu Fei opened another box. Inside was a silver bracelet decorated with gemstones and gold.

"Oh, it's the latest style of Hangdou Books and Magazines. The old man really put a lot of effort into it." Mu Fei smiled happily.

Soon, both hands were covered with jewelry, and a pair of white arms were adorned with jewelry: "Zuichun, take a look, which one suits me best?"

Zuichun leaned over to take a look, but before he could open his mouth, a young eunuch came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty! The Queen is here..."

"Oh my, why is she here!" Mu Fei said in panic: "Quick, put all these things away!"

As she said this, she quickly pulled the jewelry down from her arm.

Unfortunately, the queen walked very fast, and she had just entered the palace when the maids and eunuchs had just started moving the boxes.

Concubine Mu still had a bunch of jewelry wrapped around her hands. Seeing this, she bowed awkwardly: "I greet the Queen..."

The queen took one look at the rewards, and the anger in her chest almost ignited.

But she always maintained the good demeanor of a queen mother when she was outside. She just waved her hand and called her to sit on the main seat in the main hall.

Concubine Mu was still secretly taking off her jewelry.

"They are just some cheap stuff, but you wear them all over your hands in such a ostentatious way." The queen glared at her. The wrists full of stuff really made her heart pierce with holes. What is this bitch showing off all day long!

Concubine Mu smiled awkwardly. These thin silver chains were popular and indeed not very valuable, but they were exquisitely crafted and beautiful, so all the concubines liked them.

The emperor... was also happy that they loved cheap things, so he hired a group of craftsmen to make these.

Zui Chun was quick to speak and stabbed the queen: "Your status is not important, what matters is the emperor's intention."

Concubine Mu quickly stepped on her foot.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The queen was really furious, slamming the table so hard that the tea flew everywhere. "The master is talking, how can a palace maid like you interrupt?"

Zuichun knelt down quickly.

Concubine Mu also said: "Look at your broken mouth! If you were not brought from my mother's family, I would have sent you to do rough labor! No, you will do rough labor today and be demoted to the third grade!"

Zuichun turned pale and begged for mercy: "Your servant..."

"Shut up!" Mu Fei said, with the same tactlessness as her father, "Get out of here!"

The queen was halfway angry when she was caught off guard by the master and servant's words. It seemed pointless to pursue the matter further.

Zuichun crawled out, and only reacted when she saw Mu Fei winking at her.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This girl just has a bad mouth." Concubine Mu said with her head lowered.

The queen felt relieved when she saw her like this. But she soon thought that Concubine Mu made such a big move, could it be that she also thought that the maid was right?

This bitch was really secretly poking at her sore spot!

"I heard that the fifth prince followed Yue'er to the border, so I came to see you specially." The queen thought to herself, her son was in danger, this bitch must be very worried!

"Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty." Concubine Mu answered honestly.

"This battlefield is full of difficulties and dangers, and the Western Di people are also brutal. The fifth prince is only fourteen years old. How can he take on such an important task?" The queen said with her chin up.

Concubine Mu understood.

The queen's temper is easily explosive, and all the concubines understand this.

"I was really worried." Concubine Mu pretended to be about to cry, "Xiao Wu... wuwuwu... but as the crown prince, your highness will surely be able to turn danger into safety. God blesses those who are lucky."

"Who are you cursing to be in trouble? Concubine Mu, you are so bold that you even say such rude words and try to shake the foundation of the country!" The queen suddenly became furious again.

Princess Mu: Divine gold!
