The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

In the Rui Palace, the Rui King looked at the Dingyuan Marquis, frowned and asked in confusion: "Grandfather, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took great pains and went through countless difficulties to investigate the illegal salt case, but why did he close the case so hastily in the end? This is really something that I can't figure out no matter how hard I try!"

Dingyuan Hou sighed slightly and explained earnestly: "This case involves a wide range of people and has a huge impact. Moreover, not only is the situation in the court tense, but the surrounding countries are also eyeing us covetously. Now that the culprit has been arrested, the King of Jin has no chance to make a comeback. This time, so many officials have been arrested. If these vacancies cannot be filled in time, I am afraid that it will lead to unrest in the court. Therefore, this case ends here. This result is already the best."

Hearing this, Prince Rui nodded, but then changed the subject and asked curiously, "I heard that this time when the Crown Prince was desperate, a young man saved his life. This man is extremely brave and has great martial arts skills. The Crown Prince seems to be full of praise for him, right?"

After hearing this, Dingyuan Hou nodded in agreement and showed an admiring look, and replied: "Indeed, he is indeed a rare heroic young man."

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Prince Rui's eyes, and he said somewhat angrily: "My brother is so lucky!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is now at the peak of his career! He has the support of the civil officials led by the Left Prime Minister and the support of the military generals led by the General of the Nation. Moreover, His Highness himself is highly regarded and trusted by His Majesty. If our families can join forces, we may be able to fight back; but judging from the current situation, Your Highness, it would be better for you to give up some ideas as soon as possible." Marquis Dingyuan advised helplessly.

Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion has enjoyed supreme glory for generations, and they don't care about the so-called merits of following the dragon. Moreover, judging from the current situation, whether it is the King of Rui or the King of Qi, their reputation and strength are far inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I understand." King Rui pursed his lips. Although he was unwilling, he was not a fool. He knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to him. Therefore, he could only temporarily restrain his edge, keep a low profile, and slowly look for opportunities. After all, who can predict the future?

East Palace. Xie Tianlin was playing chess with a man in brocade clothes. As the man in brocade clothes slowly placed a black piece, the chess game was clearly one-sided. "My cousin's chess skills have improved. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to him." Xie Tianlin smiled and said.

The man in brocade clothes was Yang Chenxuan, known as the best young master in the capital. After hearing what Xie Tianlin said, he simply responded indifferently: "Your Highness is too modest."

After the two chatted for a while, Master Chenxuan suddenly remembered something and frowned and asked, "This operation has cost a lot of manpower. Since the identity of Master Su has been verified and His Highness has praised him highly, why not keep him by your side? Now is the time to use people."

Xie Tianlin shook his head slightly and explained: "He is indeed a rare talent, but I think the army may be more suitable for him at the moment. And it won't be too late to recall him after the wedding when I move into the Prince's Mansion." As he said this, there was a barely perceptible flash of expectation and joy in his eyes.

Master Chen Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "It's good that Your Highness knows what's going on."

"Cousin, are you willing to return to the court? This investigation has uncovered many deeply hidden parasites. These pests have long been sucking the blood of the people and bringing harm to the country and the people. Now they have been brought to justice. With your talent, wouldn't it be a waste if he had to stay in the rear..." Xie Tianlin spoke cautiously, staring at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see some clues from the other's face.

Master Chen Xuan paused for a moment while holding the teacup, thinking to himself: I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers, especially to the border areas, and have drawn a detailed map. My wish has been fulfilled. As a man of seven feet tall, I should devote myself to the great cause of building achievements and serving the country. Thinking of this, he put down the cup in his hand and answered without hesitation: "Everything is up to your Highness."

Xie Tianlin was overjoyed when he heard this. "That's great! I believe my grandfather will be very happy when he hears this news." His eyes were shining with joy as he spoke.

When talking about his grandfather, a subtle warmth flashed across the depths of Master Chen Xuan's eyes. "Yes, my grandfather is getting old now, and it's time for him to enjoy his old age. After some time, when the situation in the court is slightly more stable, I should ask His Majesty to resign and retire..." His voice was low and firm, revealing his deep concern and respect for his grandfather.

"It's all because of me that he has to work so hard..." Xie Tianlin's face became a little gloomy, revealing a trace of guilt and reluctance. He knew that his grandfather had put in so much effort to assist him, but he failed to give enough in return, which made him feel very guilty.

"Your Highness should eat the emperor's food and share his worries. There is no need to blame yourself, but you should make plans early for some things. The State of Chu has always been eyeing our country and has always attempted to invade our territory. I heard that many parts of their country have suffered from severe drought this year, with no harvest, and victims everywhere. This is the perfect excuse for them to start a war to divert conflicts! So we must prepare early and strengthen the defense of the border. At the same time, we must also make various plans to deal with war in advance to prevent the people in the border areas from suffering from the war." Master Chenxuan said with a worried look on his face.

Xie Tianlin's face turned serious when he heard this. In fact, he knew that the reason why the smuggling salt case was hastily settled was partly because they were worried that the State of Chu would take the opportunity to attack. "If a war really breaks out, the court will indeed have too few generals to call upon."

"Your Highness's wedding is less than three months away. If a war breaks out at this time, General Xiao may not be suitable to go to the battlefield. After all, he needs to take care of the wedding, and as the bride's father, it is not convenient for him to leave the capital at this time. General Zhenyuan is far away at the border defending the Tianqi Kingdom, and he will not be able to come back for a while. In this way, only Marquis Shenwei and Marquis Dingyuan can lead the army to war." Young Master Chenxuan analyzed calmly.

"My cousin is right. Although my father has promoted many military generals over the years, generals who are truly capable of leading troops to fight are still relatively scarce. I arranged Captain Su to join General Xiao's army in the hope that he can study hard under General Xiao, accumulate experience, and grow into an excellent general as soon as possible so that he can serve the country in the future." Xie Tianlin said with emotion.

"Your Highness, are you very confident in Captain Su?" Young Master Chenxuan couldn't help but feel curious. As the crown prince, Xie Tianlin was always surrounded by outstanding talents, but it was rare to see him so respectful of a person he met by chance.

"Captain Su is a righteous man with agile and meticulous skills. According to the report from the people who were sent to investigate his identity and background, this man is very talented and has shown wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people since he was a child. He was praised as a child prodigy. Unfortunately, he had a bad fate and unfortunately contracted a serious illness when he was young, which caused brain damage. But what is amazing is that more than two months ago, he miraculously recovered. Although he has only been practicing martial arts for a short time, less than two months, his martial arts have reached perfection and he is able to fight ten people alone. His agility is no less than that of Aqi. He is indeed a rare and precious young hero with a bright future!" Xie Tianlin praised Su Lun and praised him endlessly.

"Oh? Such a remarkable person, I really want to meet him." Master Chenxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, there will be a chance to meet you in the future. Captain Su has an elder brother who depends on him for life. Three months ago, his brother injured his leg and left a chronic illness. If nothing unexpected happens, Captain Su will find a good doctor to treat his brother after he settles down. Who knows, we may even need to ask Imperial Doctor Yao to come by then." Xie Tianlin said with a chuckle.

It is worth mentioning that Imperial Doctor Yao is the grandfather of Master Chenxuan. He is also the head of the current Imperial Medical Bureau and has superb medical skills and is able to bring people back to health.

"If it can be cured, grandfather will do his best." Young Master Chenxuan responded.

"Of course." Xie Tianlin agreed.
