Chapter Eighty-Nine: Opportunity
The patriarch of the Bai tribe immediately agreed, and with the guard holding the sword against his back, he called the captain of the palace guard and said, "You go and invite Muli to come here." ”
The captain of the palace guard didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to pass the word.
It has been almost two hours since the queen was detained, and it is already late at night. However, news of the Queen's detention has not yet been reported. Because the queen gave a gag order.
The queen also has political enemies. She didn't want to attract the attention of her political enemies at this time. Of course, all this is based on the fact that she thinks Chen Wenhui will not do anything to her. If she thought that her survival was in danger, she would immediately call the guards downstairs to rush up, and at the same time, there would naturally be guards to inform the garrisons in the city, the patriarchs of the major tribes, so that Chen Wenhui would not be able to rush out of Guangzhou City with more than a hundred guards.
Therefore, Chen Wenhui doesn't want to persecute the queen, so it's good for everyone to discuss it.
After a while, Chen Wenhui's subordinates hadn't come over, and Mu Li had already come.
When he went upstairs, he was shocked, and the patriarch of the Bai clan said to Chen Wenhui: "This is the dog Muli." Mu Li, this is the squire of the Great Chu Army, Zhao Chongyi and Lord Zhao. This is the county lord of Wenhui of Dachu, you should see each other first. ”
Before he could wake up from the detention of his father and the queen, he heard his father's introduction. In fact, Chen Wenhui and his wife also knew him. Because he's a qualified gentleman. He attended every banquet in the city. Previously, Chen Wenhui and his wife sent a warrior to kill Lan Roar, the second samurai of the Lan clan, at a rich businessman's banquet. It had already made his eyes light up, and since then he has begun to pay attention to this pair of Dachu businessmen.
Later, they really didn't disappoint him, and actually beat Wu Lilan to death.
And, judging by the Queen's attitude towards them, they must be the Queen's henchmen. Or someone who has a close relationship with the Queen. The realization of this made him disappointed in the heart he wanted to recruit.
I didn't expect to see this pair of wealthy businessmen again today, and my father actually introduced this identity. Zhao Chongyi is the real name of this wealthy businessman. This name is known to him even if it is located in southern Xinjiang. This is the second son of Zhongyigong. Like him, he is not treated well by his mother-in-law. However, people are not like him, who can only be a gentleman with no interest. They have the support of their fathers. Entered the army at a very young age. It has also made a lot of achievements, the most legendary of which is that the lone army went deep and found the barbarian royal court. Broke the royal court of the barbarians.
This is already his idol. The one next to it is the real legend of Da Chu. The daughter of the Chen family of Da Chu. Nanyang Governor. The richest girl in the world. No, now that she is married, she should be the richest woman in the world.
This legendary couple does not enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital of Dachu. Why did you come to this remote southern Xinjiang? It seems that there is still a conflict with my father and the queen. This upstairs, downstairs full of guards, really nervous.
However, curiosity is curiosity, and Mu Li still saluted in a proper manner. Chen Wenhui and his wife also replied.
The patriarch of the Bai tribe said, "Let's go next door now, and in a while, we will set off together." ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
The Bai patriarch and the queen left with Muli. When he entered the house, Mu Li was about to ask his father the reason, when he suddenly saw a woman with a pig's head, he was startled, and couldn't help asking, "Father, who is this ugly woman?" ”
The woman was furious when she heard this: "Muli, you dare to insult me? You're so bold. ”
This voice still made Mu Li understand, this is the treasure in the palm of the queen and his father, and the future queen of southern Xinjiang. It was also the woman who took away his position as the patriarch of the Bai clan. His half-sister Ram.
Ram is recognized as the first beautiful girl in Guangzhou City. However, now, Mu Li really can't compare the woman in front of him who has lost her teeth, speaks and curses, has a swollen head and face, and is still dark and blue, with that beautiful Ram.
The patriarch of the Bai clan hurriedly said: "Mu Li, this is your sister Ram, she was injured and became like this. Don't be angry with her anymore. Time is urgent, I'll talk to you about it first. ”
After speaking, the patriarch of the Bai clan told Mu Li the whole story. After listening to this, Mu Li couldn't help but look at Ram with his eyes. Ram shouted angrily, "Muli, what do you mean? ”
Mu Li has already made countless moves for this arrogant sister, and said with a cold face at the moment: "It's not interesting, I just want to see how someone can be so strong and can cause such a big disaster, it's really ashamed." ”
Ram was so angry that he was about to talk back, and the queen said, "Stop, now is not the time to quarrel, now is the time to get down to business." Now is the moment that has a bearing on the future situation in southern Xinjiang. We must put aside the grievances in our hearts and work together for southern Xinjiang. ”
Mu Li is no longer the obedient child who obeyed the queen when he was a child, and he has long had an appetite for this stepmother who is beautiful and kind on the outside but hypocritical on the inside. He said coldly: "Why did your daughter get into trouble and want me to travel thousands of miles, be a hostage, please others, and make up for it?" ”
The queen had long expected it and said, "You are not going for Ram. You are there for the hundreds of millions of people in southern Xinjiang. Go for us Baiyi people. Your father has just made the consequences clear to you. You are a nobleman of the Bai tribe, you have been supported by the tribe since you were a child, and now it is time to contribute to the tribe. ”
The patriarch of the Bai clan on the side also said: "Yes, Mu Li, now my father can only rely on you." Your younger brother is not very successful, and your two younger sisters are still young, if you don't pick up the whole burden, who will pick it? ”
Mu Li frowned, he still couldn't refuse his father's entrustment. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.
The queen said, "If you are willing to go, whatever the outcome, I will draw a place for your brother in the Bai territory and make him the head of the tribe." If you succeed in completing the mission, when you return, I will draw a place for you to also be in the Bai territory, so that you can also become the leader of the tribe. ”
That's good. You know, there are too many nobles in the tribe. Ordinary nobles like them can only eat and clothe themselves, and they don't have their own property. Of course, there is no real power. If you want to have real power, you still have to be divided and become the head of the clan.
The queen has always been wary of her two brothers and refused to let her two brothers out of the city of Guangzhou. Not surprisingly, the two brothers can only be a eat, drink and have fun in this life. This was something that could only be enjoyed when his father was alive. If one day, his father is gone, whether the queen is on the throne or the queen's daughter Ram is on the throne, they will not give their brothers two good fruits to eat.
Therefore, Mu Li is often in a hurry. Now, such a good opportunity appeared in front of him, although he had to take risks, he had to be humiliated, he had to befriend people, and he had to travel far away, but as long as the queen could really fulfill her promise, she and her brother would have a better life in the future.
They didn't want to stay in the city of Guangzhou, to be the leader of their own tribe, that was the emperor of the soil, no one would spy on them anymore, and no one would treat them badly. What a joy it is.
Mu Li was hesitating, and when he raised his eyes and saw his father, he saw that his father's eyes were full of joy. Mu Li realized that his father actually cared about the two brothers.
At the beginning, when the queen did not appear at their house, although he was young, he still remembered that his mother and father had a good relationship. Everything was made by this beautiful queen in front of her. He lost his mother at a very young age, he had no inheritance to the patriarch, and he could only be a gentleman according to the queen's requirements, without doing anything, without making a difference, and of course without freedom.
Thinking about these situations, my father saw it in his eyes, but now my father is just the patriarch of the Bai clan whose power has been hollowed out, and the queen of the family is the king who rules the six tribes in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, the father can only forbear. Now, I and my brother have such a good opportunity. My father actually wanted to catch it himself.
Mu Li thought about it again, and his father still loved their two brothers. If it was just to divide a fief for the two brothers and become the leader, he would not have been allowed to take the risk. In this way, if he goes to Da Chu this time, this legendary couple of Da Chu should not let their safety go into trouble.
On the contrary, such a powerful nobleman, if he is strong, may be able to help himself in the future. Perhaps, he has already been extinguished, and there is really hope for revenge for killing his mother.
Thinking of this, Mu Li immediately said, "Okay, I agreed." Just ask the queen to make good on her promise. ”
Before the queen could speak, the patriarch of the Bai clan had already said: "Don't worry, the queen will definitely keep her promise." When you go to Dachu, I will take care of your brother, and I will send my cronies to help him become a qualified tribal leader. You also have to go early and return early, and strive to complete the task, for the sake of southern Xinjiang, but also for yourself. ”
The queen glanced at the patriarch of the Bai clan with dissatisfaction, this dead old man was really still thinking about his son.
However, this emotion passed in a flash, and the queen said mildly: "Tomorrow, your brother will have a fief." So you must do your best to serve Lord Zhao well, the county lord. It should be for the hundreds of millions of Li people in southern Xinjiang. ”
Mu Li sneered, he said in his heart, what happened to the hundreds of millions of Li people in southern Xinjiang? When he was a child, when his mother was angry to death, did hundreds of millions of Li people come to help him? When he and his younger brother were suppressed by the queen in the past few years, did hundreds of millions of Li people sympathize with him? Isn't it full of praise for the Queen?
But these are all thoughts in my heart, and Mu Li said: "For the sake of my fiefdom, I will do my best." However, right now, am I coming here so empty, and I will go to Dachu without anything? ”
That's really a problem. (To be continued......)
