It wasn't until recently, when things got bigger and bigger, that Murong Baichuan finally noticed the abnormality.

Plotting against the World Martial Arts Pavilion, this is nothing, but who can tell him, where did so many masters come from in a small World Martial Arts Hall in a slum?

Coupled with the exhortation letter from Cabinet Elder Wei not long ago, Murong Baichuan still didn't understand, this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed, and there might be how many people were involved behind it.

And their Murong family seems to have fallen into this bottomless whirlpool without realizing it.

However, this is the imperial capital, and the Murong family has been in charge of the Finance Department for many years, and it is deep-rooted, how can it be bullied by outsiders?

Therefore, even if he knew that there was a huge whirlpool there, and he didn't know how many people were trapped in it, Murong Baichuan was still full of confidence and was not afraid at all, and let the people below make things bigger.

In half a month, there were twelve night attacks in a row, except for the first three, all of which were made by the Cheng family, both with money and people, and with the nine night attacks in the back, with Murong Baichuan's awareness and acquiescence, the Murong family did not contribute less.

Including the Cheng family, in twelve night attacks, the Murong family lost a total of nine top powerhouses, as well as more than a hundred masters above the rank of eighth-order immortals.

In the imperial capital, those who are qualified to be called top powerhouses must at least be god-level existences.

Nine god-level existences, this is most of the Murong family's family background, as soon as such a big loss comes out, where can Murong Baichuan still sit still?

The key is not these losses, but those enemies with mysterious origins in the World Martial Arts Hall.

Murong Baichuan was not arrogant enough to think that this was the imperial capital, so it could only be their Murong family attacking others at night, and others could not attack their Murong family at night.

Thinking about the fall of those nine god-level existences, in order to prevent their Murong family from being wiped out, Murong Baichuan could only be cheeky and personally went to the door to ask Wei Lao for help.

However, seeing that Wei Lao picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself, Murong Baichuan's face suddenly sank.

Serving tea to guests, this is etiquette!

Wei Lao was silent for a long time, but in the end, it was such a move, what does this mean, isn't it obvious enough?

"Old Wei, don't think that this official doesn't know who is behind the World Martial Arts Pavilion, isn't it Mo Fan, the first person in the sect's forces?

Oh, that's not right, he is now the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and it is said that he has a good relationship with Wei Qian, the son of your Wei family.

However, don't forget, after all, Dragon King Mo Fan is the leader of the Thousand Sects Alliance, the first person in the sect forces, and the enemy of His Majesty.

As the rotating prime minister of the cabinet and an important minister of the empire, you always help the Dragon King Mo Fan so much, do you really think that Your Majesty is blind?"

Finding that he couldn't ask for help, Murong Baichuan suddenly turned his gaze, and with a cold face, he directly began to threaten.

The Murong family is worthy of being a thousand-year-old family, and after noticing that something was wrong, they found out about Mo Fan so quickly, and even knew that the mysterious powerhouse hidden in the World Martial Arts Hall was from the power of the sect.

The reason why Murong Baichuan didn't tell the story just now was for this moment.

If it is okay to ask for help if he is wronged, Murong Baichuan doesn't want to talk to a cabinet minister like Wei Lao and completely turn his face.

It wasn't until it was determined just now that asking for help for grievances would not work, that Murong Baichuan had to change his face and threaten.

As an important minister of the cabinet, Wei Zhongcen and Wei Lao came forward for the Dragon King Mo Fan and admonished the Murong family, to put it mildly, this is indeed suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

If Murong Baichuan sued Wei Zhongcen and Wei Lao with this, no matter whether it succeeded or not, it would definitely be a major blow to a cabinet minister like Wei Lao.

However, meeting Murong Baichuan's threatening eyes, Wei Lao smiled calmly.

"The leader of the Thousand Sects Alliance, the first person in the sect's forces, this is true, but you yourself just said that the Dragon King Mo Fan is also the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard personally appointed by His Majesty.

The old man just handed over a word to the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, if this is also a mistake, Murong Baichuan, should you not question His Majesty's decision, should you not appoint the Dragon King Mo Fan as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, right?"

That's right, Mo Fan is indeed the first person in the sect's forces, and he is also the leader of the Thousand Sects Alliance, and he is clearly the enemy of the imperial military department.

But so what? Even Emperor Ying Tian didn't mind, and specially appointed Dragon King Mo Fan as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Deputy Commander of the Praetorian Guard, what kind of position is this? This is the closest to Emperor Yingtian, and it is also the most trusted legion of Emperor Yingtian.

Idle people don't have the qualifications to connect with the Praetorian Guard, let alone serve in the Praetorian Guard.

Appointing the Dragon King Mo Fan as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, this is the attitude of Emperor Yingtian.

If it is wrong to help the Dragon King Mo Fan, then the first one to be at fault is definitely not Wei Zhongcen Wei Lao, but the emperor Yingtian.

Therefore, if Wei Lao is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, Murong Baichuan is tantamount to questioning Emperor Yingtian's decision.

Murong Baichuan's face changed greatly, he stared at Wei Lao with wide eyes, the corners of his mouth moved, and it took a long time before he sneered, and then he turned around and walked away resolutely.

Seeing that Wei Lao was calm and calm, completely ignoring himself, and drinking tea by himself, Murong Baichuan suddenly understood that Wei Lao made it clear that he did not intend to continue to inquire about this matter.

Since the soft and hard ones are useless, it will be a shame for him to continue to stay here, so it is better to go back quickly and think of other ways.

Murong Baichuan left the Wei family's mansion angrily, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a long robe came to Wei Zhongcen Wei Lao's side and replaced Wei Lao with fresh tea.

"Old man, Murong Baichuan is His Majesty's cronies after all, is it really okay for us to do this?"

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth moved, and after a long while, he hesitated and whispered.

"Fish are only suitable for swimming in the water because they have long been accustomed to the rules of the water.

If the fish want to jump out of the water, they may be fine for a short time, and they may even be able to breathe in the fresh air, which makes them feel much more comfortable outside than in the water.

But the rules outside are completely different from the rules in the water, unless the fish has enough strength and courage, otherwise, sooner or later, it will also die.

And now, the Cabinet and the Finance Department are in this water, and our Wei family and Murong family are all fish in this water.

But the Murong family wants to jump out of the water now, you say, what should our Wei family do?"

Old man Wei didn't raise his head, with a faint smile on his face, he spoke unhurriedly, and finally didn't forget to ask a rhetorical question.

The middle-aged man in the robe waited thoughtfully aside, and his eyes lit up for a while, and then he bowed to Wei Lao and thanked him.

That's right, whether it is Wei Zhongcen, Wei Lao, or Murong Baichuan, they are all bigwigs of the imperial administrative department, and they only need to be in charge of the political affairs of the empire, and other things have nothing to do with them, and they don't need to interfere.

And the Dragon King Mo Fan, as well as the contradictions and conflicts between the Thousand Sects Alliance and the Imperial Military Department, this has nothing to do with the imperial administrative department, Wei Lao and they just watch from the sidelines, there is no need to meddle in it and cause trouble for themselves.
