kneeling in the palace for three days in a row is actually nothing to Mo Bai, after all, he has cultivation to protect his body.

But he still took advantage of the meal time to get up and rest and wander around for a while.

The main thing is that he can hold on all the time, and the other princes and princesses also have to follow the hard support, now that the eldest prince is dead, the third prince is imprisoned, and those present are all princesses, and the woman is weak, so she can't kneel for three days at all.

In the past, Mo Bai had very little contact with them, and many princesses, he couldn't even shout the title, but this time he got to know them all over again.

But it's just an acquaintance, and most of them are still quite afraid of him, and few dare to lean towards him.

Only the eldest princess may have had a few encounters, but she said a few words to him from time to time.

Mo Bai also saw it, mainly because of the matter of King Yong, now these princes and princesses are all panicked, the princesses are okay, anyway, they can't threaten the imperial power, but some of them also have younger brothers of the same mother, so naturally they have to worry about their younger brothers.

The eldest princess is like this, she has a younger brother, who is just ten years old this year, and the cruel methods of the ninth child shocked her, and she was afraid that her younger brother would not escape the doom.

I don't know what she thinks, but she actually came to Mo Bai to seek peace of mind.

On the city tower, Mo Bai could only say helplessly: "Eldest sister, you don't have to worry too much, King Yong's matter is so big, in the short term, the heirs who should be left by the first emperor should not have anything wrong." ”

The eldest princess stood beside him, sighed, and said with a sad face: "Now that the court and China are more chaotic, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. ”

"Don't worry, at least before I die, those small ones shouldn't be on the list." Mo Bai was noncommittal.

When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help but look at Mo Bai, but when she saw Mo Bai's calm face, she couldn't see any fear, and couldn't help but say: "I know, sixth brother, you have great ability." ”

"Eldest sister, in this troubled world, the first to die are often those who think they have the ability, if you want to live a stable life, it is better to be mediocre." Mo Bai said in a deep voice.

The eldest princess looked at Mo Bai when she heard this, Mo Bai didn't say anything more, only nodded at her, and said, "Someone is looking for me, and I am missing!" ”

The eldest princess followed his gaze, and saw that King De was walking towards this side, so the eldest princess turned around and walked towards the mourning hall, but she was thinking about Mo Bai's sentence just now, "The first to die is the one who thinks he has the ability, if you want to live a stable life, it is better to be mediocre."

She knelt down in the mourning hall, but Mo Bai's words were still lingering in her heart, and she felt that Mo Bai's words should be a reminder to her.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to talk to my mother and concubine, and don't have any unrealistic illusions.

It's too dangerous to fight them.

Let's let the thirteenth brother be a person who has no ability.

……

"King Ming!" King De salutes King Ming.

Although King De is an elder, the status of King Ming is not lower than him after all, and he should still be courteous.

Mo Bai arched his hand, and after returning the salute, he didn't say a word.

"Your Highness, something has happened to Xijiang." King De's face was solemn.

"Expected." Mo Bai was not surprised in the slightest, and only nodded lightly.

King De also ignored his attitude, and said: "Some soldiers of the garrisons of Qujiang, Xilin, Changba and other six cities rebelled and killed the main general, openly claiming that the first emperor of the court died of murder, and the new monarch was not rightly positioned, and bewitched the soldiers, and wanted to kill the capital and set things right." ”

"That's fine." Mo Bai nodded.

King De stared at Mo Bai and said, "King Ming knows that these six cities want to put things right, who is the so-called chaos, and who is Zheng?" ”

"Huh?" Mo Bai's eyebrows moved this time, and he looked at King De: "It can't have anything to do with me, right?" ”

"These six cities are holding the banner of King Ming, and the sword is pointing at His Majesty today." King De said coldly.

The black white eyebrows jumped twice, and then calmed down again.

Really, apart from some surprise, he didn't find it strange at all.

Nanyue will never forget to give him eye medicine whenever he has the opportunity, Mo Bai shook his head lightly: "Now all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and it is not surprising that there is one more article about this king, and the dynasty will directly send troops to suppress it." ”

"The dynasty is naturally going to make a move, but we have just transferred troops, and the southern army has directly descended from the sky with lightning speed, and within an hour, it has broken through the gates of the six cities, and it is now guarding the city. When our soldiers and horses arrived, they refused to retreat, saying that there might be a conspiracy in our army to rebel and join the party, and at the request of the people of the six cities, they temporarily took over the defense of the city. After the country and the DPRK are stabilized and no problems are ensured, the two sides will send people to discuss the change of guard. King De said with a gloomy face.

"In other words, the rebellion under the banner of this king has been suppressed and suppressed by the Lin clan, and now this matter actually has nothing to do with me." Mo Bai Dao.

"King Ming, you are also a member of the royal family, can you sit back and watch my country's important town be robbed so openly by Nanyue?" King De's face was furious.

Mo Bai turned his eyes and looked at King De: "Uncle Wang, you should go to Your Majesty and say this, it's useless to look for me, I have neither power, nor soldiers, and I don't have so much face, so I can let the Lin family retreat." ”

"King Ming, the dynasty can't be chaotic anymore, the warlords have already shown their fangs, not only the Lin family, but also Hu Liu Zhang's side is not small. If this continues, my luck in the Great Xia for hundreds of years will really collapse. If the warlords gain power, they will not let you go. "King De is in a hurry.

"Tell me straight, what exactly do you want me to do?" Mo Bai Dao.

"Two things, inward, please Hu Qingyan come out of the mountain and suppress the internal chaos. Outside, help the country and the dynasty to temporarily contain the Lin family, so as to prevent the situation in the Xijiang River from becoming a prolonged trend. King De said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Mo Bai turned his head to stare at King De for a long time before saying, "So, the dynasty is not ready to fight with the Lin family?" Don't want the six cities either? ”

"It's not that you don't, you have also seen the current situation of the country, not to mention the war, even the upper and lower orders are chaotic, how to fight in this situation? It's okay to win, but once you lose, I'm afraid it's not the problem of the six cities, and the entire Xijiang River will be eroded, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The most important thing now is to complete the funeral of the first emperor first, so that His Majesty can ascend the throne smoothly, and the issue of the six cities, after His Majesty ascends the throne, stabilize the situation, and then negotiate with the Lin family. Now the main concern is that the Lin clan is not strong enough to swallow elephants, and will continue to move towards other cities in Xijiang, so he must be contained. "King De said.

"Now except for ascending the throne, the dynasty doesn't care about everything else." Mo Bai's face sank, and he said coldly.

"If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne, the chaos will continue. Forced by the situation, this is not what we want. King De said bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't help, it's really no way. I have neither power, nor soldiers, nor so much face, so that the Lin family can withdraw from the army. Mo Bai shook his head.

"King Ming......" King De still wants to persuade.

Mo Bai raised his hand: "I know that Uncle Wang wants me to use the power of the Daomen, but what reason do I have to let the Daomen do it, it was Lu Xunyi who was arrested by the Lin family before, and now I can't send Lu Xunyi to the hands of the Southern Army again." Daomen can help me save people, but they know that the Lin family will inevitably release people. But now that it's six cities, will the Lin clan let it go? How many people go, the Lin family will definitely fight to the end. How could Daomen be willing to die for the country? Even if they were forced by me to go, they couldn't do anything, and if they didn't help, they couldn't form a real containment of the Lin family at all. ”

King De took a deep breath and retreated: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty again, but Hu Qingyan's side, His Royal Highness has to help no matter what." ”

Mo Bai did not refuse this matter: "Yes, but I have one condition, I must tell me who poisoned Hu Qingyan." ”

King Tak is gone.

Mo Bai looked at his back and was silent for a long time.

He refused to contain the Lin family, and he had indeed missed the opportunity, but the more important thing was to let Lao Jiu remember this lesson. It was Lao Jiu who personally destroyed the Ming Palace's actions to contain the Lin family, and Mo Bai wanted him to remember that sometimes, there is a price to pay for certain things he does.

As for whether the Lin clan will not have enough people's hearts to swallow the elephant, the dynasty is a fan of the authorities, but the Mo Bai bystander is clear, the Lin clan does not dare to swallow the entire Xijiang, and they can borrow six cities to achieve their strategic goals.

After opening up these six cities, they can attack and retreat in the future, and they can't really force the country to fight him.

And in Mo Bai's opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing for these six cities to jump out, it is much easier to deal with those who jump out than those hidden in the dark.

As for Hu Qingyan, Mo Bai felt that it was time to teach him a lesson, he couldn't really think that the royal family was gone, Mo Bai needed him to check and balance Lao Jiu, just to check and balance, not to let him swell to the point that no one could cure him.

At the same time, helping Lao Jiu with this favor also made Lao Jiu realize that he was a useful king to the dynasty, and he should not always be tolerated.

When King De returned, it was already two hours later.

This also confirms Mo Bai's speculation, it seems that the identity of this person who attacked Hu Qingyan is not simple, and Lao Jiu has the heart to protect him.

"Your Highness, it is the hand of a servant in the palace, and the person is in the prison." King De Road.

"Chamberlain?" Mo Bai sneered, but didn't say more, only said: "I'll take what Uncle Wang said is true, you tell the murderer, Zhang Bangli in the prison, it's best not to have an accident, the country still needs him to resist the barbarians, if he dies for no reason, this king is not afraid of whose identity is valuable, who dares to embarrass the king in the matter of resisting barbarians, this king will kill whom, even if it is a certain prince, or the abbot." ”

King De's face changed: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

Mo Bai no longer ignored him, and only said: "Uncle Wang went to tell Hu Qingyan, and said that this king was waiting for him in the middle palace for half a pillar of incense, and he would spend half a pillar of incense!" ”

With that, Mo Bai turned around and went straight to the Middle Palace.

King De looked at his back in a daze, that's all?
