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

Chapter 336: A great scholar will debate the classics for me... Digging up old scores.

In front of the city gate.

Prince Yan, Ge Lao and even Liu Mingyan and Yuanbao.

Seeing the huge crowd, there was a look of doubt in their eyes.

Especially, each of them held a variety of "weapons" in their hands.

Liu Mingyan and Mu Zhen both looked at King Yan, their eyes seemed to be asking,

When the prince returned to the city, not only did the people not line the streets to welcome him, they all stood ready with weapons in hand, and even said that it wasn't you who sent someone to sneak in?

Although the King of Yan did not see what the two wanted to say, he also sensed something bad. He waved his hand and roared:

"What are you doing! Get out of the way!"

When the people saw that it was the King of Yan, they naturally made way for him.

The team leader hurried forward to pay his respects.

King Yan glared at him and whispered:

"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here? What do you eat?"

"Reporting to the prince, the people said that they want to fight the enemy together with the soldiers and kill the bandits!"

The captain spoke in a firm voice, obviously deeply moved.

However, after hearing this, Ge Lao and the others all looked at King Yan.

King Yan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Although I don't know where the hostility from these people comes from, I still feel that it is inappropriate to say this at this moment.

He came forward and started to scold her, cursing:

"Where did the enemy come from? Let's disperse!"

At this time, Liu Mingyan was the first to see the team walking in from outside the city gate.

The person on the leading horse was Li Mu.

His heart rose to his throat, and he immediately exclaimed:

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three figures beside him disappeared.

The next moment he appeared in front of the team.

No one would have thought that the fastest person was Mu Zhen, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

It’s also Li Mu’s fault for his appearance, which is really too intimidating.

Just as he arrived in front of him, Mu Zhen, with red eyes, actually fell off the wheelchair, not looking like a great scholar at all:

"Qingyi!"

Li Mu, who was still dozing off, opened his eyes and saw this scene. His face suddenly changed and he shouted with difficulty:

"Teacher, why are you..."

Then he exerted force with his arms and fell off the horse.

Ge Lao's figure flashed, and he caught Li Mu before Wei Pingran, laid him flat on the ground, frowned, and took his pulse.

"Mr. Ge, I'm fine, please go check on the teacher..."

Seeing Mu Zhen like this, Li Mu immediately stopped pretending, but his current state was not entirely fake.

His tired body made his limbs completely out of control.

Seeing Li Mu's excited expression, a ray of true energy came out from Ge Lao's fingertips.

Li Mu felt a sense of drowsiness all over his body, and he murmured:

"Oh my god... again..."

He fainted in an instant.

Liu Mingyan, King Yan, and Mu Zhen, who was helped back into the wheelchair by Mo Wuyan, approached Ge Lao.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Ge Lao exhaled and said calmly:

"It's okay, I'm just exhausted, not hurt at all, just take a good rest."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay! Just as long as it's okay!"

King Yan laughed loudly, but the others suddenly turned their heads to look at him with sharp, questioning eyes.

Obviously he was asking why Li Mu was like this.

This time, King Yan understood what these people meant.

The muscles on his face trembled involuntarily, and he thought to himself how could he know what was going on.

His eyes swept to Wei Pingran standing aside, and he immediately tried to divert the blame, and asked sternly:

"Wei Pingran!"

Wei Pingran was shocked. He knew the reason why the King of Yan called him. He took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said:

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has led his army deep into the enemy territory alone and has captured the bandit leader Zatu! In addition, the bandit squad has been annihilated by your Highness, and I have sent people to retrieve the stolen armor."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in King Yan's eyes.

This is something Li Mu can do.

He looked at Ge Lao and his companions with an expression of honor.

However, Prince Yan and Ge Lao and his companions were obviously not on the same page.

Mu Zhen frowned, his clenched fists creaked, and he pondered for a while before asking:

"Does the Prince of Yan consider the safety of his son?"

Obviously, Mu Zhen felt that Li Mu was instructed by King Yan to pursue the Ran Nu soldiers.

Upon hearing this, the smile on King Yan's face froze, and his head seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer.

He connected the performances of Ge Lao and the others together and immediately understood what was going on.

At this time, Mu Zhen said again:

"Although the prince is not your biological son, your prince should not forget that if the prince had not risked his life to protect your family."

"My Lord, do you want to be the one who betrays your faith?"

Hearing this, King Yan's face suddenly turned red, and he also got angry, pointing at Mu Zhen and scolding:

"You are a great scholar, but you don't know anything, yet you are talking nonsense here. Do you really think I am afraid of you?"

Mu Zhen snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, dare you say that the matter of Yanshan City has nothing to do with you?"

"This..." King Yan wanted to argue, but Mu Zhen's words hit the nail on the head.

Using his family as an excuse to plot against the Lin family was indeed his and Emperor Hongwen's plan.

Although they were protected by Zhang Hanrui and the Dark Ice Guards, there shouldn't have been any mistakes.

But the fact is that the sudden appearance of an expert in Ran Nu almost caused him to lose his son.

What's more, he had indeed tacitly agreed to Zhang Hanrui's plan to secretly kill Li Mu.

For a moment, King Yan found that he was actually in the wrong and was speechless for a long time.

Mu Zhen's words made the people who were watching the excitement in the city go crazy.

"That's the great scholar Mu Zhen, right? What did he just say? The prince is not the prince's biological son?"

"What does that mean? Could it be that the great scholar cheated on the prince?"

"You want to die, don't implicate me. Even if it's true, you can't tell it!"

"You two want to stay away from each other. I know this! The prince... is the son of the prince's brother!"

As the crowd was talking, a group of knowledgeable people appeared out of nowhere and spread the mystery of Li Mu's life experience among the crowd.

"But the great scholar said, why did the prince betray his loyalty?"

"Could it be that the prince wants to depose the prince?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince is the second son of the palace. Shouldn't the eldest son be the Crown Prince?"

"It is the ancestral precept that the eldest son inherits the business. I think Your Highness is right!"

"You're talking nonsense! That princess is the remnant of the previous dynasty..."

"What previous dynasty? I heard that the eldest son was favored by the prince and a Rannu woman..."

"You are talking nonsense. The eldest son has killed countless Rannu people. How could he be a Rannu person?"

Listening to the people's discussions, King Yan's face gradually darkened.

Naturally, he released all this information himself.

Ever since he came back from Qiuzhou last time, he has started preparing for these things.

But it is obviously not the right time to break it out now.

As for Li Mu's matter, he would have to wait until Yin Huanping canceled his engagement with the Prime Minister's Mansion and then ruin his plan of marrying the princess.

Then he will come out to clarify and say that these are all true.

By the way, he betrothed his only daughter Li Ling'er to Li Mu, and the fake father became the real father.

When the King of Yan first thought of this plan, he wanted to kowtow to himself.

The matter of Xiang Dairu has always been a concern for Prince Yan.

I originally planned to boil the frog in warm water and let the rumors ferment slowly.

But now Ran Nu had just attacked Donglai Pass, and it would be a disaster if it broke out at this time.

King Yan stared at Mu Zhen with a sullen look on his face, and asked in suppressed anger:

"What exactly do you want to achieve by saying this, great scholar?"

Mu Zhen was not willing to be outdone, he glared back at King Yan and said in a calm tone:

"Qing Yi has never coveted wealth and power. If Your Majesty regrets it, just say so. I will take Qing Yi back to the Saint's Residence right away!"

When Mu Zhen met the King of Yan, he neither explained nor made any promises. That was obviously firm evidence, so he decided not to beat around the bush.

"You old rascal, you really want to snatch my son from me!"

King Yan was so angry that his teeth itched, his black face turned red, and he pointed at Mu Zhen and said angrily:

"You old bastard, don't even think about it! I have decided to take my daughter..."

"Alright! The prince needs to rest, Your Majesty! Young friend Mu, let's take the prince back first!"

Seeing that Prince Yan was about to break up, Ge Lao immediately spoke up and tried to smooth things over.

He knew Mu Zhen's temper very well, and he was afraid that if he said a few more words, he would start fighting.

If the great scholar openly attacks the Prince of Yan, things will only become more troublesome.

Upon hearing this, King Yan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and was about to carry Li Mu away.

Seeing this, Mu Zhen tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingertips.

Mo Wuyan behind him immediately understood and carried Li Mu on his shoulders. In a flash, he retreated behind Mu Zhen.

"you…"

The King of Yan pointed at the old couple and was about to speak when he heard Elder Ge say:

"If the prince trusts me, I will take care of the prince."

King Yan turned his gaze to Ge Lao, and without hesitation, he bowed and said:

"Then I'll bother you, senior."

After all, King Yan also felt that it was best to have the Medical Saint looking after him.

Liu Mingyan, who was standing by, felt a little displeased when she saw Mo Wuyan carrying Li Mu like that. She wanted to go forward but was hesitant. After hesitating for a while, she grabbed Yuanbao and pushed him out.

Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at Liu Mingyan, his cheeks slightly red, obviously understanding what she was thinking.

She timidly walked in front of Mo Wuyan, grinned awkwardly, pointed at Li Mu, then pointed at her nose, and said delicately:

"Senior, please come here..."
