Chapter 136: Hold Her
Prime Minister Li and Censor Huang, who were kneeling on both sides of General Zhang, rarely agreed with General Zhang's proposal.
Prime Minister Li and Censor Huang also echoed his words. They all agreed that Su Yuntian was the most suitable candidate for the peace envoy.
Zhang Taiwei said, "Your Majesty, everyone has witnessed the contributions of Prince Yun to Dongyue in the past few years. It would be most appropriate to send Prince Yun to negotiate peace with Beiqi. With Prince Yun's talent, Beiqi will definitely not get any benefit."
In the eyes of court officials, Su Yuntian has always been hardworking, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and politically far-sighted and ambitious, making him almost qualified to be the crown prince.
Outside the imperial court, Su Yuntian was once the most talked-about subject among the daughters of various aristocratic families, and he was also the image of their dream husband.
The only thing that caused everyone to talk about Su Yuntian was undoubtedly that he married Mu Jin, and was suspected of colluding with Mu Weihou. However, in the end, he was divorced by Mu Jin, and the suspicion of collusion was eliminated.
What the ministers couldn't understand was why such a non-competitive prince could never win the emperor's favor.
Su Yu did not want Su Yuntian to be the peace envoy. If the negotiations were successful, the people and the entire court would call even louder for Su Yuntian to become the crown prince.
After all, from the beginning to the end, whether it was the position of crown prince or the throne, he had always intended for Su Yi.
After hearing what the minister said, Su Yu pondered for a moment and finally asked Su Yuntian: "King Yun, are you willing to be the peace envoy?"
Su Yuntian said: "I will obey your father's orders."
Su Yu thought about the court officials again and couldn't find anyone better than Su Yuntian, so he had no choice but to appoint him.
However, he has always been wary of not only Su Yuntian, but also Mu Weihou. Even though Su Yuntian has been divorced by Mu Jin, he has not given up his suspicion that Su Yuntian is colluding with Mu Weihou.
Su Yu said slowly, "Then send Prince Yun as the peace envoy. But there is one more thing. This time, Marquis Mu Wei and his son have disappointed me so much. So this time, not only will we send a peace envoy, but we will also send a capable person to Yanmen Pass to serve as a military supervisor. I wonder if you have any candidates."
Just when everyone was silent again, Li Xiang stood up.
Li Xiang bowed deeply and said, "This old minister believes that such a person must be able to convey the news to the emperor in a timely manner, and it would be best if this person is an enemy of the general."
"Oh? Do you have a candidate in mind?" Su Yu asked hurriedly.
Li Xiang said: "I think Huang Xin, the son of the governor of Wonju Prefecture, is a suitable candidate. He is now serving as the governor of Ningwu Pass in his father's footsteps."
Su Yu asked: "Why do you think this person is feasible?"
Li Xiang smiled and said, "When he was young, this man went to the same school as Mu Yan. They had never gotten along well since they were young. One time, Huang Xin got drunk and beat Mu Yan. His father was afraid of revenge from Mu Weihou, so he took the initiative to break Huang Xin's hand and took him to the general's mansion to apologize to Mu Weihou and his son."
"Huang Xin has always held a grudge against Mu Weihou and his son. If anyone is the most suitable person to be the military supervisor of the Mu family army, it must be Huang Xin."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Oh? There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Except for Censor Huang, everyone present just smiled and said nothing.
This is probably how the matter is settled.
Su Yi came out of the palace and returned to Prince Yi's Mansion. After briefly speaking to the people in the mansion, he took Ling Feng and Ling Yu with him and rode away from the capital on fast horses.
At this moment, when Su Yi thought that Mu Jin might be harmed by the masters sent by Su Ji at any time, he became extremely anxious and wished he could grow wings and fly to Mu Jin to protect her.
Su Yi was extremely anxious for Mu Jin, while thousands of miles away from him, Mu Jin and Nangong Min were talking and laughing, riding their horses, slowly heading towards Nangong Divine Sect.
Mu Jin knew that they were being chased by the masters sent by Su Yu, but seeing Nangong Min's calmness and consideration for her in the past few days, she gradually felt that they were not being chased by anyone and did not feel any danger.
Mu Jin has no free time to travel around the country in this world. Whether she was in an orphanage as a child or grew up to be a star or an agent, she has always been in the city.
The recent trip with Nangong Min and looking at the various scenery along the way made her feel that she was experiencing a self-driving tour at this moment.
Along the way, Mu Jin passed through the mountains and fields and saw all kinds of scenery. There were colorful and beautiful flowers; there were also strange-shaped stone mountains. All of this made her marvel at the wonders of nature.
Before the two set out from Lingfeng County, Nangong Min bought the necessary dry food and tents in the county.
Over the past two days, the two men have been traveling all the way, and when they are tired they will stop and open the tent to rest.
When they were hungry, they caught fish from the stream and game from the mountains and forests, and enjoyed them together with dry food. They lived a very comfortable life.
It was just nightfall, and Nangong Min and Mu Jin found a lawn near the stream and stopped. They planned to rest there tonight.
Today, Mu Jin had a sudden inspiration and asked Nangong Min to make a fire while she went to the stream to catch fish. Nangong Min was reluctant at first, but seeing Mu Jin's interest, he agreed.
Mu Jin came to the stream. Seeing the clear water and fish swimming around in the water, she was about to stab a fish near her feet with her sword.
Suddenly, she slipped on moss, lost her balance, and fell into the stream with a splash. The cold stream water instantly soaked her clothes. Mu Jin struggled to stand firm, but accidentally slipped again and fell back into the water.
Nangong Min heard a sound of someone falling into the water not far away, and his heart tightened immediately. He turned around and found Mu Jin fell into the water. He quickly tiptoed, jumped into the water, grabbed Mu Jin's wrist, spun around, picked up Mu Jin, jumped up, and landed beside the stream.
Seeing that Nangong Min was too nervous, Mu Jin couldn't help but laugh: "The deepest part of this stream is no deeper than my waist, there's no need to be nervous."
Nangong Min asked Mu Jin nervously, "Are you injured?"
Mu Jin was about to say no, but suddenly she felt a slight pain in her calf. She was afraid that Nangong Min would worry about her, so she smiled and shook her head and said it was okay.
Because she fell into the stream, Mu Jin was soaked all over. Her spring clothes were thin and stuck to her body, showing her curves. Her snow-white shoulders were exposed.
Mu Jin was not a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love. After all, in the real world, she had worn suspenders, hot pants and bikinis in public. Naturally, she didn't think there was anything wrong with appearing in front of Nangong Min like this.
Nangong Min was so worried about Mu Jin just now that he didn't feel anything. But now, looking at Mu Jin like this, his whole body tensed up and his face slowly turned red.
"Aqiu~" Mu Jin's wet body was blown by the cold wind in the mountains, and he couldn't help but sneeze, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Nangong Min hurried into the tent, took a cloak and ran to Mu Jin, hugging her.
