Marry a Duke

Chapter 147: Falling into a trap

The Ding family participated in this game and paid a lot. Ding Menglin's reputation was damaged. Fortunately, he was a man. If he was a woman, she would definitely suffer a lot of criticism.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the marriage between the Zuo Xiang Mansion and the Shou Wang Mansion.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, General Mu's Mansion and Prince Shou's Mansion formed a marriage.

Some people were ridiculing the Shouwang Mansion, thinking that the Shouwang Mansion had already fallen into decline, but was still playing with people in the palm of their hands, and really did not take the Ding family seriously.

Some people also discussed that there must be some mysterious opportunity involved.

If it is said that General Mu and Princess Mingyue have already been engaged in private, given the current situation in Prince Shou's Mansion, Princess Shou would probably not make things difficult for the princess.

The little princess will choose whoever she likes.

Rumors were spreading in the capital, and the Ding family had done the same as the Shou Palace these days, closing their doors to visitors and only allowing in a few close people.

The eldest princess guessed that the left prime minister had collaborated with Wei Xuan in setting up this game.

Whether it is the Left Prime Minister, Wei Xuan or General Mu's Mansion, they will all become thorns in her eyes.

"General Huo, please go back to Huzhou. I will hand over the mining rights of Shouzhou's silver mine to the Huo family. Even without Mingyue, I can still make the decision." The eldest princess asked Huo Long and his son to leave the capital first.

It would be of no avail if they stayed on.

Holon considered the long-term. Since the eldest princess had said so, she must be somewhat confident. If she asked the emperor, she might be able to obtain the mining rights of the silver mine.

But Huo Nanfeng was different. He came from Huzhou, and his fiancée, who was originally engaged to him, watched helplessly as she became someone else's.

In the future, the title that belongs to him and his children will also belong to someone else.

How willing he was.

What he can get from Mingyue is something tangible. Even if the Huo family obtains the mining rights in the future, it will be beneficial to the Huo family. The profit he can get from it is only a very small part.

"I will obey the princess's orders. Please tell her to pass on the good news to Huzhou as soon as possible." Huo Long said.

In order to ensure that the Huo family would not make a wasted trip, the eldest princess prepared some return gifts for them.

It filled a whole carriage with rare items.

The night before leaving the capital, Huo Nanfeng took two people and set out from the house.

Hiding in the night, find General Mu’s mansion.

The gate of the Shouwang Mansion was closed. He had ordered people to go to the Shouwang Mansion. At midnight, they set fire to the Shouwang Mansion and burned it down.

What does not belong to him will not belong to others.

Huo Nanfeng brought his men and sneaked into General Mu's mansion.

"Master, Huo Nanfeng came out of the Huo family, and the people he took out were divided into two groups. One group went to the Shouwang Mansion, and the other group went to the Mu family."

Gaomian brought back the news.

Bi'an followed the people sent by Huo Nanfeng to the Shouwang Mansion. No matter what those people wanted to do to the Shouwang Mansion, they would not have a chance to succeed.

"The Mu family knows about this." Wei Xuan's eyes moved away from the files on the desk.

It was late at night, but he had no desire to sleep.

Tomorrow is the day when the Huo family's father and son leave the capital. He expects that they will be unwilling to do anything, so he sends people to keep an eye on the Huo family's every move.

Huo Long is a shrewd and cunning man, but Huo Nanfeng is still young and has a temper that cannot be hidden.

If there is any trouble, Huo Nanfeng must be the one to step in.

"I have already reminded General Mu and Junior General Mu. Now, the Mu family is on alert." Gao Mian replied.

Wei Xuan nodded.

"In that case, it's time to go and see what's going on."

The number of people the Huo family brought into Beijing was not large, probably no more than ten.

Apart from those who stayed with Huo Long, Huo Nanfeng could only control six or seven people.

The two sides split up, and Huo Nanfeng only brought four people to rush towards the Mu family.

When they sneaked into the Mu family, everything was normal. It was so quiet that they could even hear people breathing.

Just as they were looking for a new house, the lights in the Mu Mansion suddenly came on.

The light illuminated the entire sky, leaving Huo Nanfeng and his group with no place to hide.

"I wonder what business Mr. Huo has in breaking into the Mu Mansion in the middle of the night?" Mu Yan, dressed in black, stood in front of Huo Nanfeng with a cold look in his eyes.

Such a person still wants to think about Mingyue and everything in Shouwang Mansion. He is really shameless.

"Be on your guard." Huo Nanfeng's face showed a fierce look, "Mu Yan, Mingyue was supposed to marry me. The prince of Shou arranged a marriage for me and her a long time ago. You snatched this marriage away, and you have a grudge against me for stealing my wife. I am a man of passion, how can I just pretend nothing happened?"

Huo Nanfeng expressed his dissatisfaction word by word.

He wanted to stand on the moral high ground to accuse Mu Yan.

"You are just a villain who steals other people's wives. With you and the Mu family like this, you still want to defend the country. It's good enough that you don't steal the country."

As a military general, the Mu family did everything for the country and the people on the battlefield, and they never had any complaints.

Not a single step back.

General Mu allowed Huo Nanfeng to slander him like this.

"The Huo family is also a family of military commanders. You are taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Mingyue didn't want to marry you in the first place, but you still wanted to force the marriage and secretly manipulated it. Your means are despicable. If you dare to break into the Mu family today, don't think about leaving easily. Come on, guard every place and don't let the thieves escape."

With General Mu's words, the palace guards immediately guarded General Mu's mansion tightly.

Huo Nanfeng's eyes turned red.

"My father is the lieutenant general of Huzhou, in charge of the army of Huzhou. If you dare to be rude to me, my father will not let you go."

In Huo Nanfeng's eyes, his father, the Lieutenant General of Huzhou, is invincible.

But General Mu didn't take it seriously at all.

Mu Yan also said: "Dad, don't waste time talking to him, just take him down."

General Mu glanced at his son and nodded.

The next moment, Mu Yan moved and pounced towards Huo Nanfeng——

Huo Nanfeng was a big guy with a fierce look and strong skills. He fought with Mu Yan for dozens of moves, and Mu Yan was almost unable to hold on.

Fortunately, Mu Yan immediately adjusted his strategy and attacked Huo Nanfeng's weakness.

A punch hit Huo Nanfeng right in the heart, and Huo Nanfeng fell to the ground.

During the whole process, no one helped Mu Yan to deal with Huo Nanfeng. Apart from stopping the followers he brought with him, Mu Yan was the only one dealing with Huo Nanfeng, so that Huo Nanfeng would know that he was no match for Mu Yan and the Mu family.

Mingyue’s decision to marry into the Mu family was the smartest one.

"Tie the man up." General Mu said, and soon, Huo Nanfeng was tied up and taken to the woodshed.

Huo Nanfeng was not worried at all. He knew that his father would notice that he was missing tomorrow morning and would find him soon.

He left a note on the table so his father would definitely see it.

Wei Xuan arrived at the Mu Mansion in the middle of the night, and General Mu personally welcomed him in.

The two men agreed that Holon would go to ask for the person early the next morning.

Huo Long alone is not someone that can please anyone, and General Mu also has his own temper. If anyone can break into General Mu's mansion, it means that the Mu family is useless. How can such a useless Mu family protect the Dayue territory?

How can one be qualified to be a military general?

General Mu will definitely not let that person go.

But if the eldest princess came to ask for the person, she would most likely ask the emperor for an imperial decree, and then the Mu family would have to release the person.

"Hand him over to me. Tomorrow morning, the Huo family will come to look for him. Everything in the Mu family will be normal. Just pretend that no one has come to the Mu family tonight."
