Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Cheng Muqing on the other side was afraid that the two of them were still in the sea of ​​fire, so he almost didn't even bother to deal with it.

He waved his hand, and immediately someone came from behind and tied up the boss and the few minions behind him.

The eldest, the first three princes, escaped from prison and only took two of his confidants with him. It was already the end of his ability to survive until now.

Cheng Muqing captured several people alive almost effortlessly.

He was thinking about Pei Shao and Cheng Jinrong and had no time to talk to the first three princes. After confirming that they were tied up, he led a group of soldiers on horseback and rushed into the mountains.

Thinking of Pei Shao and Cheng Jinrong whose whereabouts were unknown, he became anxious.

He has been married for many years, but has nothing to do with his children. He has long regarded the children of his brothers as his own.

The youngest sister An Bai gave birth to children the earliest, and the children of the brothers were only a few years old. However, one of Pei Tianqing and Pei Jingshuo could lead troops to fight, and the other could travel around the world.

There is only one girl in the Cheng family, Pei Shao, and Cheng Muqing treats her like a sore thumb on weekdays.

The mountain was not that big. Cheng Muqing and his men almost climbed over the mountain on horseback, but there was still no whereabouts of the two of them.

Looking at the fire all over the sky, Cheng Muqing gritted his teeth, got off his horse and rushed in to find someone.

The subordinate next to him was so frightened that he almost stopped him and tried to persuade him earnestly.

But Cheng Muqing really couldn't calm down at all. He had almost lost his mind with worry.

When he threw away his subordinates and rushed into the fire desperately, the burnt black grass beside him shook, and two small figures emerged from it, their voices timid.

"Fourth uncle?"

Cheng Muqing immediately froze on the spot like a thunderbolt. The moment he saw the two small figures clearly, all the blood in his body seemed to be rushing to his head.

Standing right in front of him were Pei Shao and Cheng Jinrong, whom he was worried about.

The two of them stood in front of him perfectly, but Cheng Muqing was so surprised and worried that he almost cried.

"Let's go...uncle will take you home."

He stood up from the ground, walked to the two, then lifted one with one hand and put them both on the horse.

Once the two found it, the follow-up was much simpler. It was nothing more than finding a way to put out the wildfire.

There are no unarmed people on the mountain. The men are all bandits who robbed their homes. The women and children are also well aware of this, so they can be regarded as accomplices. Then there are the boss and his two henchmen - Hei The clothes man and the big man.

These people had little cohesion and were defeated the moment they saw the mountain burning.

After finding his nephew and niece, Cheng Muqing's nervous mood relaxed countless times in an instant, and he directed his men to handle these matters in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, there were not many combustibles on the mountain, and it did not spread to the surrounding mountains. The fire that was still burning almost stopped, and it would be faster if it was extinguished manually.

Cheng Muqing was riding on a tall horse, leading Pei Shao and Cheng Jinrong, followed by the tightly tied prisoners.

This place was not too far from Shengjing. After discussing with the two lieutenants, Cheng Muqing decided to rush back overnight.

I don’t know if I received the news in advance or something, but the lights in the palace were brightly lit.

The former three princes received great attention as soon as they were brought back and were detained separately from others. Due to the last prison break, there were countless times more people watching the first three princes this time.

Even though he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape this time. Mrs. Cheng, He Wan, and Cen Qiuyue were waiting in the Jinluan Palace. Cen Qiuyue was still in a decent state, while Mr. Hewan and Mr. Cheng looked pretty pretty, with dark circles under their eyes that almost reached their cheeks. have a good rest.

The moment she saw Pei Shao, Cheng's gray eyes suddenly lit up. She hugged Pei Shao tightly in her arms and burst into tears.

The same was true for He Wan beside her, and Cen Qiuyue exited the room, leaving time for the two pairs of mother and son.

Although she had a lot to say, this was not the place to talk. After Mrs. Cheng confirmed that Pei Shao was not injured, she said nothing more. She just held Pei Shao in her arms and shed tears uncontrollably. .

And the emperor has been waiting for the first three princes for a long time.

I pity the first three princes. They were just thrown into prison, and the next second they were picked out and thrown all the way to the Jinluan Palace.

Looking at the splendid hall and the people sitting at the head, mist filled the eyes of the former third prince, blurring his vision.

He has never been able to figure it out and is unwilling to accept it.

All this clearly belongs to him, but...why is he now a prisoner?
All those present were family members, and the emperor did not hide it at all. The first sentence he spoke was a bombshell.

"You are confused. The name on the secret decree left by the late emperor was not mine at all."

Hearing these words, the former third prince lying on the ground suddenly widened his eyes.

He panted rapidly and got up from the ground, his voice full of disbelief, "...how is that possible?"

Seeing that the first three princes finally fell into this situation, after all they were brothers, the emperor sighed and recounted what happened back then.

"It's true that I'm a direct descendant, but all the old people in the palace knew from the beginning that your biological mother, Concubine Rou, was the one who was most dear to the late Emperor's heart."

The emperor also felt a little sad when he mentioned the past, while the third prince's eyes widened and he searched desperately in his memories.

It seems so.

When he was young, his father often came to his mother's palace. Later, as he grew up, and even the eldest prince and second prince became prominent, his father gradually stopped coming, and there was a new person in the palace, his mother. The concubine's heart became depressed and she became ill. It didn't last long before the jade faded away.

Without his mother and concubine, his life in the palace has become more and more difficult, but he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since he was a child, and he also knows that the eldest prince has always been at odds with him. If the eldest prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely not get any good results.

Therefore, he always wanted to hide his talents and bide his time to avoid the sharp edges. Later, it was not until the eldest prince suddenly died of illness that he knew that his opportunity had come.

But the second prince was infinitely better than him in terms of background and abilities. If he were to be serious, the throne would definitely belong to the second prince. Although he did not have a bad relationship with the second prince, his human nature really couldn't afford to gamble.

Therefore, he tried to mix chronic viruses into the late emperor's diet. Later, when the late emperor was seriously ill, he rebelled against General Xiao, who was still the uncle of the state at the time.

The process went extremely smoothly, but he couldn't believe the reality for a long time. Coupled with the secret edict, it was a time bomb for him.

He could not afford to be charged with killing his father and brother, so he only told the outside world that the second prince was missing and that he acted as a superintendent of the country.

But after all these years, the secret edict that had never been seen was still a thorn in his heart that he couldn't remove.

The emperor sighed and looked at the first three princes with a somewhat unbearable look, but he continued.

"Although the late emperor loved Concubine Rou, the power in the harem was so entrenched that her body would be wiped out if she was not careful, and Concubine Rou had no support from her mother's family."
