Chapter 442: The Dark Tide of Family Battles
When Murong Lan said this, she closed her eyes in pain, that incident was the most terrible memory in her life, and it was unbearable to look back.
For as long as she can remember, her father, Murong Hao, gave her a little rabbit with his own hands, and she raised it for more than a year, until the summer when she was more than three years old, when her father and mother forced her to kill the little rabbit together.
She still remembers that when she cried and stabbed the knife into the rabbit's body, the little white life was struggling in pain, and the eyes that looked at her were full of despair, just like Liu Yu looked at herself that day, and her whole heart was about to break at that time, and she vaguely remembered a voice echoing in her ears: "Cold-blooded and ruthless, Fang is my Murong family's sons and daughters, Alan, from now on, you are truly a member of the Murong family!" β
Murong Chui looked at Murong Lan and sighed softly: "The people of our Murong family have come over like this, those useless kindness and soft-heartedness will end it with their own hands together with the small animals they raised in their childhood, only by doing this, can they survive in the cruel Saiwai grassland, which is the reason why our Murong family has gone through ups and downs several times, but can always rise again." Alan, now that the Murong family has experienced the difficulty of losing the country, but they have seen the hope of re-rising, at this time, you must put the interests of the family first, and you can't let your feelings go wrong! β
Murong Lan sighed softly: "The matter has come to this, I know what to do." Big brother, let me ask you one last thing, for Liu Yu, do you really have the idea of recruiting under your command? β
Murong Chui didn't answer immediately, he looked at Murong Lan motionlessly, looked directly into her eyes, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Don't you want Liu Yu to join our Dayan?" β
Murong Lan shook his head: "Impossible, Liu Yu will only be loyal to the Jin State and the Han people, in his eyes, we are alien beasts, and it is impossible for us to really communicate, not to mention that this time we betrayed the alliance and lost the little trust he finally had." β
A smile appeared on Murong Chui's face: "That's because he still has hope in the Jin Dynasty, and there is still a place for him, as well as the brothers of the Beifu Army and Xie An, Xie Xuan, the people he respects, and even the young lady of the family Wang Miaoyin who is engaged to him." If all this is gone, can he still stay in the Jin Dynasty? β
Murong Lan's eyes widened: "What? Big brother, do you want to harm Liu Yu? β
Murong Chui laughed: "Hurt him? Not! Don't do what you don't want, don't do it to others, how did the eldest brother frame him back then, it is difficult to vote for the country, it is difficult to repay the family, that kind of pain, I don't want to fall on Liu Yu. Because, my good sister is fond of him, how can I make my future brother-in-law suffer! β
Murong Lan's face was flushed, and her head lowered: "The eldest brother is making fun of my sister again, Liu Yu already has a fiancΓ©e, and now he is the same enemy as me, how can he have a future with me?" β
Murong Chui put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Sister, it's man-made, Xie Jiaken married Wang Miaoyin to Liu Yu, it is nothing more than an expedient measure for the national disaster, don't forget, even if the Xie family intends to control the army through Liu Yu in the future, but Wang Miaoyin is surnamed Wang after all." β
Murong Lan's face changed: "Big brother, do you mean that the Langyu Wang family may regret the marriage?" No way. β
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "Maybe you have been staying in the army and have not paid attention to the movements of the upper echelons. Wang Miaoyin's father, Wang Ningzhi, hid behind the scenes from the beginning, only letting Xie Daoyun, a woman, come forward, and he himself did not express his position for a long time, the only time he appeared was the last time Liu Yu failed in the martial arts performance, he personally went to Guangling to bring Wang Miaoyin home and grounded, this detail many people did not notice, but I captured some familiar information. β
Murong Lan nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, Wang Ningzhi's clan will not necessarily be on Xie An's side?" β
Murong Chui said: "Yes, in the past, the Wang family and the Xie family united because Xie An was in full swing and controlled the government with one hand, and the Jin Emperor Sima Yao at that time was still young, and all military affairs depended on Xie An. But many years have passed, Sima Yao has become pro-government, and everyone knows that he intends to regain the power he has lost for many years. If it weren't for the large-scale invasion of the Qin State this time, I am afraid that the political struggle in the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have already killed you, and the Wang family might also terminate the marriage with the Xie family. β
Murong Lan shook her head in disbelief: "Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun have been married for many years, how can this marriage be broken just as soon as it is broken?" Even if Xie An hands over power and withdraws from the center of politics, he will not turn his face. β
Murong Chui sneered: "Back then, the Xie family and Wang Yun and their family got married, wasn't it because of the change in the situation, and they were divided?" This kind of alliance and marriage between the families is unstable, even if Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun do not divorce, at least in Wang Miaoyin's future life, there are variables. β
"If the battle between Qin and Jin ends and the Jin State wins, then the first thing Sima Yao has to do must not be the Northern Expedition, but to find a way to recover the military power from the hands of the Xie family. At that time, the major families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will face a new round of standing in line and integration. And Liu Yu and Wang Miaoyin may become the center of open and secret fighting. β
Murong Lan sighed: "No wonder the eldest brother just said that Liu Yu might leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it turned out that he took into account the future political struggle of the Jin Kingdom, but Liu Yu's life is too bitter, the battlefield is bloody killing, and he has to face these dark fates that he can't imagine and can't escape, this man is distressing." β
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "It's right to feel distressed, Alan, Liu Yu is a real hero, but the dark political environment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will harm him one day." Staying in the Jin Kingdom is not a good choice for him, perhaps, in the future, when he is excluded from the Jin Kingdom and cannot gain a foothold, the opportunity for you and me will come! β
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "I hope this day never comes, I would rather never see Liu Yu again in this life, and I don't want him to be hurt again." Wang Miaoyin is also a hard-working and infatuated woman, and I don't want her to be hurt either. Big brother, do you have other collaborators in the Jin Kingdom? Can you use your power to protect Liu Yu? β
Murong Chui shook his head: "Alan, Hugh said that I don't have this ability, even if I have, I will not sacrifice the interests of Dayan for the sake of a Liu Yu, after the decisive battle of Qin and Jin, if everything is as I thought, our focus will fall on the restoration of Dayan, and you should also put all your energy on this, maybe you will fight for the revival of Murong Dayan in the north for a lifetime, and you may not have the opportunity to see Liu Yu again, at least, you will not go to Jiangnan again." β
