I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 764: Kill two birds with one stone.

Zhao Chuyi, wearing a dark purple Nine-Python Blue Cloud robe, strode out from the inner court.

She wore light makeup with a cool tone today, and her eyebrows were slightly thicker.

It made her originally childish face look more heroic.

She walked up to the middle-aged officer, glanced at him calmly, and whispered,

"Take the people down."

"Yes!"

The soldiers around came to their senses and seemed to have found their backbone. They were excited and responded loudly.

"Chuyi, you want to take care of your teacher's affairs?"

Yin Huanping frowned slightly, her tone somewhat displeased.

"Master."

Zhao Chuyi bowed to him, glanced at the tiger talisman on the ground, and said seriously,

"Master, Chuyi wants to take back the tiger talisman, please allow me."

Yin Huanping glanced at the tiger talisman calmly, frowned and thought for a while, then waved her hand and said,

"It's up to you. I think it's rare for a teacher."

"You said you didn't have time to take care of it that day, and you insisted that I help you. Forget it, take it away quickly, so as not to bother me."

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Chuyi bowed and looked at the tiger talisman on the ground.

At this time, a female soldier in armor walked out from the city guards.

He quickly walked to the tiger talisman, picked it up, and presented it to Zhao Chuyi with both hands.

"What's your name?"

Zhao Chuyi took the tiger talisman and looked the woman up and down.

The woman clasped her fists and bowed, her voice sonorous and powerful.

"I am the Commander-in-Chief, Che Qinfei."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi frowned, as if hesitating, and said after a long time,

"General Pan is dead, and Lieutenant General Lu is seriously injured. From now on, you will temporarily take over the position of the general of the city guard. Okay, get out now."

Zhao Chuyi said it lightly, as if it was just a casual remark and she didn't take it seriously at all.

But everyone could see that Her Royal Highness the Princess was expressing her dissatisfaction.

The city guards pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, embarrassing the princess on such an important occasion today. It is only a matter of time before they are liquidated.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore."

At this time, Mu Zhen spoke.

Shanshan was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

"Master? Aren't we going to watch the ceremony?"

"Do you think the princess is particularly majestic today?"

Mu Zhen smiled, but looked at Li Mu, and said in a neutral tone,

"Yes, it is very majestic."

"Li'er, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Shanshan looked at Li Mu expectantly, as if she really wanted to hear Li Mu praise Zhao Chuyi.

Li Mu withdrew his gaze from Che Qinfei and nodded slightly, but his tone was a little strange.

"It's really majestic."

He had seen that Zhechou Duwei before, and he was in Zhao Chuyi's Yunheyuan.

Li Mu was sure that he would not admit his mistake.

At that time, Li Mu made a special observation and confirmed that the other party was Zhao Chuyi's internal guard, so he did not care.

Unexpectedly, she had such an identity.

Now it seems that everything today is designed.

The position of Zhechou Duwei is not big, but it is not small either.

Such a person serves as Zhao Chuyi's internal guard, so Zhao Chuyi's thoughts are somewhat intriguing.

What's more, Li Mu discovered that there were nine internal guards hidden in Yunhe Courtyard.

Their strength is around level two. If a princess has no ambition, what's the point of training these guards?

He even holds important positions in other places.

"Li'er, don't you have anything to say?"

There was a smile in Mu Zhen's eyes, and there was even a hint of testing in his tone.

Li Mu frowned, glanced at Shan Shan subconsciously, and said thoughtfully,

"Kill three birds with one stone. The most important thing is to be open-minded."

"Oh?"

Mu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he urged Shan Shan to push him out of the crowd, then he asked,

"Would you like to elaborate?"

Li Mu's mood was not very high, but when the teacher asked questions, he did not act pretentiously, but his tone did not sound very good.

"First, promote your trusted aides and take control of the city guards."

"Second, win over the Southern Region and make them take sides."

"As for the third one..."

Li Mu paused, his tone clearly unhappy.

"The relationship between the master and the apprentice with the princess was announced to the public. After all, everyone knows that the Prince of Yan's Mansion is actually behind the princess."

Mu Zhen smiled and shook his head slightly.

He could tell that Li Mu's words were not what he meant.

There is no Yanwang Mansion behind Yin Huanping. The real backing should be him, the future Prince of Zhennan.

Mu Zhen naturally would not ruin Li Mu's plan. He stroked his beard and asked with a smile,

"It's good that you can see through it. In this case, what should you do?"

What should I do?

Of course you will pamper your own wife.

Li Mu sighed. One of the reasons why he deliberately made things awkward with Zhao Chuyi was that she didn't intend to stand on his side openly.

But Zhao Chuyi is obviously very good at taking advantage of the situation. If she ignores her again now.

I’m afraid it will really hurt the little girl’s heart.

Moreover, Li Mu knew that publicly announcing her and Yin Huanping's master-disciple relationship would do more harm than good in the long run.

Yin Huanping's identity as a princess of the previous dynasty will always be an unstable bomb.

Zhao Chuyi did this more to tie herself to her.

However, Li Mu was not disgusted by her little temper.

She was different from Emperor Hongwen, who was a latecomer to the imperial family. She was born a princess of the royal family and had some ambitions, which was nothing wrong.

For Li Mu, apart from the engagement invitation, Zhao Chuyi did not do anything that touched his bottom line.

"Master, Brother Li."

At this time, Shanshan suddenly spoke.

Li Mu tilted his head and looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

Shanshan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said,

"Brother Li, the princess may just be feeling pity for the moment and can't bear to see Lieutenant General Nalu die here, so she said she wants to take control of the city guards. Will she..."

Li Mu smiled and knocked her head, pretending to be angry and said,

"You are still speaking for her. She is just a small sesame dumpling. Be careful that she may sell you out without you even knowing it."

"The princess will never sell Shanshan!"

Shanshan arched her nose and pouted her lips and said,

"Yes, Brother Li took it for granted."

"Even if there is a tiger talisman, plus a special promotion of a Zhechou Duwei."

"Let alone whether that woman is loyal to the princess, it is simply a fantasy to think that she can control the city guards just by doing this."

"Brother Li doesn't know the connection, so he thinks like this."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Shanshan still understands these?"

"Of course. If you don't believe me, Brother Li can ask Master."

Shanshan straightened her chest and turned to look at Mu Zhen.

"There is some truth to that."

Mu Zhen looked playful and leaned back in the wheelchair.

It was obvious that he was saying that he had no interest in teaching his own apprentice.

"Okay, you're right, I'll just be Xiao Baihua on the first day of the new year, okay?"

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.

However, Shanshan refused to accept the suggestion and continued to insist,

"Brother Li is obviously unconvinced. Shanshan is not wrong."

Li Mu tapped the mask on his face with his fingers, hesitated for a moment and said,

"The general named Pan is dead."

Shanshan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "He disobeyed military orders, he deserves to die."

"The commander of an army can kill anyone he wants. After all, he is just a servant and cannot participate in a fight between gods."

Li Mu looked at Shanshan seriously and said in a serious tone,

"With the tiger talisman, one can easily deal with the commander of an army if there is a reason. This is the imperial power."

"Today we just need to let the city guards know that there are people who can deal with them, and there are people who can protect them."

"With this alone, it's easy to choose who to be loyal to."

"As long as Chuyi's power is stable, there is no need for them to return. It is enough for them to know the current situation."

Shanshan frowned, looking a little ugly, as if she couldn't believe that her silly princess could be so cunning, and her voice became anxious.

"Then, what about the Southern Region?"

"That woman had caused public outrage before, and the princess even slapped her in the face. How can that be considered as winning her over?"
