After Murong Zhe entered prison, he looked like a dumbfounded person, sitting against the wall all day long without saying a word, and no more details about the whereabouts of the eldest princess.

Even a few days ago, when the guards conveyed to her that Murong Ferry had retreated to Hebei, she did not respond at all, as if she was out of the way.

The only time that the guards lost their composure happened on the night they learned the news.

Late that night, the guard seemed to hear a depressed crying sound from the prison. When it passed, he saw that she had returned to her original silence and coldness. So today, when she heard that she suddenly spoke like this, she immediately went to report.

Murong Zhe was not abused, but he was still much thinner than before and had a pale face. He was sitting by the wall with his eyes closed, and heard footsteps coming from outside the prison. He opened his eyes and looked at the figure of the man standing in the shadow outside the door. A ray of light slowly flashed in his eyes.

"What's the matter if you want to see me?"

Li Mu did not ask anyone to open the prison door, but stood outside the iron bar and asked.

Murong Zhe looked at him steadily, and after a long time, the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"I still remember that day, I was ordered by my uncle to send a message to you. In a flash, I saw you again today. The general is as majestic as ever, but I became a prisoner at the ranks."

Her voice was hoarse, her expression seemed to be self-deprecating, and she seemed to be sighing.

Li Mu's gaze passed through the iron bar and fell on her face, with a calm look: "Princess Murong, if you figure it out, please explain the details of the whereabouts of the eldest princess. When she returns safely, I can spare your life. If you are still making other ideas, you don't have to waste your efforts."

Murong Zhe raised his eyes, stared at Li Mu, and said, "Although I kidnapped her, don't forget that if I hadn't happened to be there, in the scene at that time, how could she survive in the world? Besides, in the past few years, I have treated her like a mother and have not neglected her at all. Is this your repayment to me?"

Li Mu said coldly: "Although Hu people are also called human beings, they often do not know what humanity is, let alone etiquette and righteousness. Even those who are dressed in clothes only know their minds but not shame. Princess Murong, you are one of them."

"I warned you that day not to show your appearance as my wife. Do you know why you can still live and be treated like this today?"

"To tell you the truth, it's best if you want to talk about the princess in detail. But it's okay if you don't say it. Murong detained her for many years, so he naturally wanted to threaten me with her. With his defeat today, if he expected it would be right, he would push her out soon. As long as she appears, I may not be able to save her. You are not as important as you imagined, and you are even more indispensable. You are spared, what else do you want?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Murong Zhe's face. He was silent for a moment, as if he had finally calmed down and whispered: "I naturally dare not forget what you said to me before. What you said is that I am indeed shameless. But I also have my helplessness."

She slowly stood up from the floor.

"Madam, you are here with you? If you come, can you allow me to say a few words to her alone?"

Li Mu said: "What do you say, just say it."

Murong Zhe said: "It is related to the princess and her son, so I can only talk to my wife."

Li Mu frowned and looked unhappy. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but he knew that Luo Shen was extremely concerned about his mother, but he just didn't show it in front of him at all times. He stared at Murong Zhe coldly, and finally turned his head and gave an order.

The follower went and soon led the God of Luo who was resting outside in.

Li Mu turned around and went up to meet him, recounted Murong Zhe's words, and whispered: "You don't have to go in, just be outside. I'm near you. If there is anything, just shout."

Luo Shen nodded, calmed down, and quickly walked to the cell where Murong Zhe was locked, and stopped outside the door through the iron bar.

Murong Zhe said something about the eldest princess and her son at the beginning, and then he didn't say anything. Today, she was willing to speak. She felt sad and expectant when she thought of her mother and her brother who had never met since birth.

How long she wanted to save her mother and brother soon, and her father would return home, and the family would be reunited in the future and never be separated.

"Princess Murong, what do you want to tell the truth?"

Luo Shen knew that she must have made arrangements with him. Although she didn't know what she wanted, she asked directly.

Murong Zhe stared at Luo Shen for a moment and answered the question that he was irrelevant: "Madam Li, I don't think you believe it. From what I can remember, the most relaxing moment I have in the past few years was the period of imprisonment here."

Seeing that Luo Shen seemed stunned, she smiled like a self-deprecatingly, and her smile made her a little dismal.

"I had no biological mother since I was a child. I was chosen by my family at the age of seven, and I was trained with strict training and endured all the hardships. Murong Die was not my brother, but when I was young, he was the only one who was better to me. This is why, I did everything for him later. This time, in order to help him achieve great things, I pretended to be you and came to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, not only did things fail in the end, but even myself was in such a situation."

"You thought I would be extremely depressed and thought about how to escape as soon as possible, right? You were wrong."

"I actually feel at ease, and I feel at ease like never before. Over the years, I have done my best to repay my elder brother. If things fail, it is for God's will, and I have not done my best."

"A long time ago, my elder brother told me that he had promised not to go to the massacre of the city, so he captured Luoyang that day. Even though he hated the city very much, he did not kill anyone. But I know that he had made another arrangement early. He did not slaughter the city himself, but he still wanted Luoyang and the people in the city he hated to be punished by them. And your husband, General Li, is the biggest enemy of my brother in his life. He is incompatible with him in the world and in his personal grudges."

Her eyes looked at Luo Shen, and from her hair, she saw her feet gradually turning red.

"Mrs. Li, sometimes I really envy you. I came from a high school in the Southern Dynasty and married a man like Li Langjun. Although I did all the despicable things and were despised by Li Langjun, I am not completely unintentional. Li Langjun is the first person I admire in my life."

"That day, when I learned that my elder brother was defeated by Li Langjun, I really didn't know whether I was disappointed or completely relieved..."

She suddenly burst into tears.

It was quiet in the prison, and only the low sobs of the suppressed woman were heard.

Luo Shen was silent for a moment and said, "It's not too late to make up for the broken sheep. Since you know your shame, you must know what to do in the future."

Murong Zhe looked up.

"This is why I want to see you, Li Langjun and your wife today. Although my brother suffered a defeat before, he would never stop there. If I had expected it was right, now he would definitely want to unite with Liu Jian, the Huns, to attack Chang'an, and try again. That Liu Jian, who had coveted me in the past and asked me for a marriage, was rejected by me. I beg my elder brother not to marry me to Xiliang. He agreed at that time. But now the situation is different. With my understanding of him, he must have changed his mind. Sooner or later he will threaten Li Langjun with the eldest princess, so as to exchange me for Liu Jian to make friends with Liu Jian in Xiliang, in order to send troops together."

A strong disgust appeared in her eyes.

"That Hun is disgusting, and I really don't want to commit myself to others any more."

"I have understood that Brother Yu, I am just a tool that he can use. When my uncle was forced to leave Longcheng because of his great achievements in his early years, I was not long after I was born. In the past few years, although he was wary of his elder brother, he did not kill him and was considered kind to me. On that day, after killing his uncle, he abandoned his corpse and let his uncle's resentment go and chopped the corpse. I was so cold that I was secretly cold. If I hadn't stopped him at that time, my uncle wouldn't have even gotten a whole corpse. The elder brother treated his uncle like this, and in the past, he had never taken his life seriously for revenge, letting him go a long way. I have done a lot of things for him over the years, and now even if I leave, I'm not sorry for him."

"Mrs. Li, in Murong's family motto, there is no word "trust and righteousness". Some of them are just using any means to achieve their goals. With my elder brother's mind, I hate Li Langjun so deeply. Even if he proposes to exchange my eldest princess and his son for me, he will not just exchange it."

"As long as you can promise me something, I promise that I will do my best to make the eldest princess and her son return safely."

"What's the matter?"

Murong Zhe stared at Luo Shen and slowly said, "In front of my wife, I will not hide my expectations. If the wife can agree, she will accept me after the matter is done, and take care of me for my life. I will swear to the heavens, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do my best to help Mr. Li achieve great things."

Although she didn't say it clearly, how could the God of Luo River not hear what she meant?

He did not expect that Murong Zhe would be so straightforward and put forward such a condition in front of him.

She subconsciously wanted to refuse. Before she could speak, she heard Murong Zhe say again: "I have figured it out these days. Even if I can go back this time, what's the fun if I still live as before?"

"I'm not afraid of death."

She slowly came to Luo Shen, looked at her through the iron bars, and said word by word.

Luo Shen looked at her for a moment and said lightly: "What's the difficulty? There are countless brave and healthy men in Chang'an. If you really want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will pay attention to you in the future."

Murong Zhe looked at Luo Shen, paused slightly, and said, "Madam Li, you know what I mean."

Luo Shen said: "My words just now are also what I mean."

Murong Zhe stared at Luo Shen for a moment, his eyes as if surprised: "Madam Li, I really don't understand why you shouldn't? I just want to stay by Li Langjun's side and help his wife serve Li Langjun. Don't you want to save your mother and brother? You have never seen your brother before?"

Luo Shen took a long breath.

"Princess Murong, my mother had sheltered a woman who should not have been sheltered, and this was the disaster today. If she knew, she would not have asked me to repeat the same mistake, even to save her and Ah Brother."

"Langjun Li is my husband. Don't say that I will not share it with others, even if I am willing, I will not nod if I belittle the princess. Princess Murong is the best to do her best. If she doesn't want to, she won't force her. The husband will help me find another way."

After she said that, she turned around and wanted to go.

Murong Zhe's already pale face became increasingly bloodless.

She stared at Luo Shen's back as she was about to leave. A sharp color suddenly flashed through her eyes. She quickly walked to the front of the gate, raised her hand to the side of her hair bun, and pulled out a piece of thing hidden in it that looked like a piece of small bamboo tube from the bun. She pulled out the veil and exposed a sharp iron tip, which suddenly turned into a small dagger.

Prisoners must be searched before they are imprisoned to avoid any sharp objects around them, which will prevent them from hurting people and self-injuring.

Unexpectedly, there was a sharp weapon hidden in Murong Zhe's hair.

"Mrs. Li!"

She called out loudly, and saw Luo Shen turn around and point the pointed tip in her hand at her face.

"Mrs. Li, I am dedicated to my good intentions and speak to you. I hope you can have some sympathy and save me in the quagmire, but I don't want to be humiliated by you so much!"

"I just need to scratch my face a few times and ask Emperor Xiliang to know that it was your forced hand that not only would he give up the idea of ​​marrying me, but how would your mother and brother suffer from revenge?"

She sneered.

Luo Shen was shocked. Seeing her pale face and her eyes flashed, she hesitated for a while. Just as she was thinking of comforting her first, she heard a sound of footsteps coming from beside her.

Li Mu is here.

Murong Zhe opened his eyes wide and looked at the man from the Southern Dynasty opposite him who had secretly fallen in love with him from the first sight of him.

Never once, she would have made her realize clearly how jealous she was in front of her.

She once sat in front of the mirror, staring at the herself in the mirror with another face, and imagined that even if she had been wearing this face for the rest of her life, she was willing to live.

Everything started with him.

At this moment, the man in front of him who had made her fall in love with him at first sight, he cast two gloomy eyes full of disgust at him, which made people shudder.

"Princess Murong, you want to cut a few times, even if you just cut it, no one will stop you, just do it yourself."

Li Mu said coldly, then turned to Luoshen, held her slightly chilled hand, took her wife and turned away from the prison.

...

Murong Zhe still didn't scratch his face.

Three days later, Gao Huan rushed back to Chang'an and brought back news from his father to Luo Shen.

Luo Shen was excited and began to hope that his father could save his mother and Ah brother as soon as possible and bring them back safely.

At the same time, she would have to separate from Li Mu again.

The spies sent out successively sent back the news. Xiliang and Beiyan began to show signs of being dispatched to the border.

Li Mu summoned his subordinates and formulated a tactical decision to take the initiative and quickly attack and defeat one by one without waiting for the other party to assemble.

Just as the north was full of war and a new, perhaps the last Northern Expedition was about to come again, the Dayu court, far away in Jiankang, was still trapped in a dispute.
