Chapter 124: Stopping the War and Restoring the Country
Qi Zi squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Mo Ziyu with a hint of disappointment and chill in his eyes: "These days, you have been making trouble behind your back?"
"Let's just say that. Mo Ziyu sighed softly, "I don't want to take this step, just for more lives, for the sake of peace, I can't take this step!"
Qi Zi pursed her lips and didn't speak, her face was full of stubbornness.
"You can think about it. Mo Ziyu said and turned his head to look at Liu Xu, "If Southern Chu and Western Wei retreat, is Northern Xia willing to return the city that Southern Chu offered before?"
Liu Xu raised his eyebrows and pondered, but did not answer immediately.
Judging by the current situation, Northern Xia may not lose this battle, but it will exhaust a lot of money. Mo Ziyu said, "Now that the disaster in Northern Xia is serious, these grains and silver should be used on them." Which is more important, the ten cities and the lives of the people of Northern Xia?"
"Yes. Liu Xu thought for a while and said.
"What do you mean?" Mo Ziyu asked, looking at Qi Zi.
"Do I still have a choice?" Qi Zi got up and said with a sneer, "Jiang Liu, have you forgotten how deeply you were hurt by him? Now that I am actually standing by his side, I have mistaken you." β
Mo Ziyu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "If you hate me, hate me, I just did what I thought was right." β
As she spoke, she took out an armistice agreement from her bosom and glanced at the two of them: "The pen and ink are ready for you, if you have no opinion, sign it." β
Although Liu Xu was unhappy, he didn't have any emotion, he took the lead in signing, and Qi Zi also picked up the pen with a cold face and signed, and then threw the pen down, gritting his teeth unwillingly.
"What about people?" asked Mi Zi in a cold voice.
Mo Ziyu glanced at Qin Yi, Qin Yi untied Qian Yan's acupoint and released her.
"Your Majesty!" Qian Yan trotted to Qi Zi's side, looking at her husband with emotion and self-reproach, His Majesty still cares about her and is willing to stop the war for her!
Qi Zi glanced at Qian Yan coldly, didn't say anything, shook his hand away, and Qian Yan immediately followed.
"Your Majesty!" Out of the small villa, Qian Yan took a few steps forward and grabbed Mi Zi's sleeve, "You wait for the concubine." β
Qi Zi paused, turned to look at her coldly, and asked, "You didn't stay in the palace well, why did it fall into Jiang Liu's hands? What do you want to do when you go out without me? Haven't you been writing to me all these days that everything is okay in the palace? You have been lying to me all the time?"
"I ...... I didn't mean to!" Qian Yan was startled by Qi Zi's cold eyes, "The concubine has learned an important news, doesn't Your Majesty want to know?"
Under Mi Zi's cold eyes, Qian Yan didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and hurriedly continued: "That's the case, the concubine learned that Jiang Liu was looking for the treasures hidden by Mulan's ancestors, and the concubine thought that if she could get these treasures, she would definitely be able to help Your Majesty benefit on the battlefield, and it was more likely that Nan Chu would dominate Kyushu, but the concubine didn't expect that the whereabouts of the concubine were leaked, which caused Jiang Liu to plan and catch the concubine, and the concubine was careless this time, but the concubine's original intention was still for Your Majesty, for Nan Chu, please forgive Your Majesty!" β
"Now that you have the news, why don't you tell me and act privately? Are you for Southern Chu or Western Wei?" Qi Zi smiled mockingly, "Don't stop the porcelain work without that diamond, and I'll go back to the camp to talk to your brother about the withdrawal later, if he has any doubts, you can explain it to him personally." β
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!" Qian Yan grabbed Qi Zi's arm, "The concubine just wanted to prove to Your Majesty that the concubine was valuable to Your Majesty, but she didn't expect it...... But the concubine swears that the concubine is indeed for His Majesty, and she has no selfish intentions!"
Qi Zi pulled his arm back fiercely, stared at Qian Yan, sneered, and flicked his sleeves away.
Qian Yan bit his lip and quickly followed.
Inside the lodge.
Liu Xu stared at Mo Ziyu for a while and said, "Thank you." β
Mo Ziyu sighed and said slowly: "Don't thank you too early, I also have my own selfishness in doing this." I have a deal to do with you. β
"Tell me about it. Liu Xu sat opposite Mo Ziyu, looked at her deeply, and said interestingly.
"I hope that Northern Xia can withdraw from Mulan and return the original land of Mulan to Mulan. Mo Ziyu said.
After listening to this, Liu Xu was not too surprised, and said: "Since it is a transaction, let me hear your conditions." β
Mo Ziyu paused and said: "Mulan Ancestor once left a treasure, I have found these things, it is indeed a lot of wealth, but it is indeed difficult to use it to restore the country, but it can be used to solve the urgent needs of Northern Xia." Although Mulan is scattered and has no absolutely advantageous forces to restore the country, it can disrupt the economy of Southern Chu and Western Wei, so that they can no longer attack Northern Xia in a short period of time. What do you think?"
"Do I think I'll say yes?"
Mo Ziyu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground and said, "You are the same as Mi Zi, you have no choice. I hope you can think about it carefully, Mulan is just a small border country, and it is just a small corner for the territory of Northern Xia, and the loss of Mulan will have little impact on Northern Xia, but Mulan is now of great help to Northern Xia. β
"I thought you would think about your Majesty. Liu Xu said, "Even though Mulan is only a small border country, it is also the territory that the soldiers of Northern Xia returned with their lives, and who attacked it, you should have a number in your heart." Now that you have asked me to hand over the territory in my hands, how will I meet the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs in the future?"
"You have great talents, your ambition can be used on Dog Rong and Nandi, there is still a large territory waiting for you, why do you have to be obsessed with Mulan?" Mo Ziyu said, "The people scattered outside Mulan are like sparks, as long as they don't go back to Mulan for a day, they won't stop, I have thought about it for a long time, only by using this method can Mulan and Northern Xia be able to get peace with the minimum loss!"
"You can make them stop!" Liu Xu said, "If you want, they will listen to you, they can go back to Mulan, I will give them the best treatment, I can meet Mulan's taxes, I can give them the best policy, over the years, Mulan and Northern Xia have gradually integrated, over time, the estrangement between the two countries can be completely eliminated!" And you are the princess of Mulan, and now Mulan's power is almost under your wing, this is something that can be decided by your will, why do you have to let Northern Xia lose its territory? Have you forgotten that you were also a member of Northern Xia?"
"I haven't forgotten, it's because I haven't forgotten that I came all the way here to let Nanchu retreat. Mo Ziyu said, "I know that from the very beginning, you hoped that I could integrate Mulan's forces, including the revelation of my background and the active assistance in the matter of the Elders' Pavilion, but I have my own difficulties. Liu Xu, this is the best way I can think of, to make more lives and let more people live with dignity, I really hope you can seriously consider it! With me, even if Mulan is separated from Northern Xia, she will not do anything to hurt Northern Xia, I am trading with you, and I am also praying for you! Also, it is also the last thing I want to happen, if you don't agree, you may not be able to get out of here. β
Liu Xu stared at Mo Ziyu, lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, after all, for Beixia now, recovering is the most important thing." Also, you've grown up and are now very much like a princess, and I hope you made the right decision. β
"I hope too. Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Liu Xu." β
"Will we ever see each other again?" asked Liu Xu.
"Definitely. Mo Ziyu said, "When everything is peaceful, I will personally go to Beixia to congratulate you." β
Liu Xu nodded.
"Take care of Changqing. Mo Ziyu said, "He's not too young, it's time to find him a fiancΓ©e, and when you have a candidate, remember to inform me." β
"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded, "If you want to come to Northern Xia, you can come at any time." β
"Go back, you're the commander of the three armies. Mo Ziyu said, "If you leave for too long, it will have an impact on the morale of the army." β
"Take care. Liu Xu got up slowly, and then left.
The matchmaker walked out from behind the screen, with a little excitement on her face, and said: "It turns out that this is the princess's plan, and it is indeed to restore the country at the lowest cost, but will the Emperor of Northern Xia keep his promise?"
Mo Ziyu got up, walked to the window, was silent for a while, and said: "I have known him for a few years, and I still have confidence in him, since he agreed, he will not regret it, not to mention that this decision is not completely harmless for him, and he only agreed after careful consideration." β
The matchmaker breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I hope so, if you can really restore the country, then the hard work of these days will not be in vain! If the young master knows about this, he will definitely be very happy!"
"Immediately write to Qi Qi and tell him about the current situation so that he can prepare. Mo Ziyu said, "The things that follow are very complicated, and his assistance is indispensable." β
"Understood. The matchmaker nodded and said, "I'll go now." β
Situ Jiexing held the sword in both hands, leaned on the door frame, looked at Mo Ziyu with a smile and said, "You are indeed amazing, you have completed so many important things so easily. β
Mo Ziyu smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's not my ability, I'm just taking advantage of the feelings of the two of them for me." β
