Chapter 387: Hostages
Li Muyun nodded: "You don't want to gamble, you want to be sure, this is understandable." ”
"Thank you for your understanding......" Jin Chengyou saw that Li Muyun's tone was a little loose, and hurriedly said.
But halfway through the words, he was interrupted by Li Muyun waving his hand: "But Lao Tzu is not stupid, if you want to be sure, you can't take Lao Tzu to risk, no matter what Quangai Suwen says, it is also your Mo Lizhi, in the name of an envoy to Datang, how much risk do you think I need to take if I want to leave him behind?" ”
"In addition, to be honest, Lao Tzu doesn't believe you, who knows if you will suddenly change your hexagram at that time, if you have to say that Lao Tzu killed your Mo Lizhi, what if you want Lao Tzu to pay for your life? Lao Tzu didn't eat a bite of fish, but he got fishy, isn't it a joke! ”
"This ......" Jin Chengyou was broken by Li Muyun's words, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak.
In fact, neither Gao Jianwu nor him thought of giving money, just like Li Muyun just said, they just wanted to use him, and after he killed Quan Gai Suwen, they would be beaten up.
Anyway, by that time, Quangae Suwen had already hung up, and Goguryeo had no internal worries, and their goal had been achieved.
And even if Li Muyun is dissatisfied, no matter how unwilling he is, it will be difficult for him to influence the government and politics, even if he is aggrieved, he can only endure it.
As for Li Shimin's ......, as the suzerain, his own courtiers killed the envoys of the subject country, and it is estimated that His Majesty the emperor will not be able to pull his face to attack Goguryeo.
All of this was discussed between Gao Jianwu and Jin Chengyou last night, and they believed that under the temptation of 100,000 taels of silver, Li Muyun would definitely be fooled.
But Jin Chengyou never expected that although Li Muyun was greedy for money and lustful, he was really not stupid at all, as he said, on the contrary, he was very smart, and he had seen through their plans in advance without even thinking about it.
Seeing Jin Chengyou's speechless appearance, Li Muyun shook his head with emotion and smiled: "Lao Jin, in fact, when it comes to calculating people, I want to advise you, don't think that all the gentlemen are fools, in fact, Lao Tzu does not necessarily read fewer books than your king, and his education is not necessarily inferior to him, the reason why he is mixed up like this is just because there is no hope." ”
Jin Chengyou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and for the first time really looked at Li Muyun, an arrogant, domineering, money-hungry and lustful gentleman.
Did you really underestimate him? Could it be that this gentleman is really shrewd enough to do this? Yes, it should be like this, if you take into account the relationship between inheritance and the royal family, this Li Muyun's arrogant and domineering approach is indeed the best way to protect himself.
But if Li Muyun is so shrewd, what about the task assigned by King Rongliu? Besides, now that this Xiaoyao has already known his plan, it is too late to turn back.
Of course, he can also choose to kill people and leave Li Muyun and Yu Zhining behind. But this undoubtedly gave Li Shimin an excuse to go to war, and when the time came, when the million-strong army Chen soldiers were on the border, what would Goguryeo use to resist?
Thinking of this, Jin Chengyou couldn't sit still anymore, and said to Li Muyun urgently: "Master Hou, you must have misunderstood us about this matter, so it's okay, if you still don't believe us, we can give half of the silver first." ”
"No, I want it all." Li Muyun shook his head: "I don't want to care who is right and who is wrong among you Goguryeo, but Lao Tzu doesn't want to take any risks, so you can only gamble, either choose to believe in Lao Tzu, or you just keep the money and hire more killers, assassins or something, I believe there will always be a time for success." ”
Speaking of which, there is no room for negotiation, Kim Seung-woo decided to go back and report truthfully to Gao Jianwu after a long silence, as for the final outcome of the matter, it depends on the decision of King Rongliu.
……
Yu Zhining is still old in the end, coupled with the cold climate of Goguryeo, so he is unexpectedly sick, very sick, with a high fever of more than 100 degrees, I heard that putting eggs on his head can become mature in a quarter of an hour.
The little old man thought that he couldn't survive this hurdle, and said that he would return to China because he didn't want to die in a foreign country.
Gao Jianwu had no choice but to agree to divide the Tang delegation into two, some of whom escorted the deputy envoy Yu Zhining back to the Tang Dynasty, while Li Muyun needed to stay in Goguryeo and wait for the Jingguan to be destroyed before leaving for the Tang Dynasty.
Before parting, Li Muyun came to Yu Zhining's carriage and looked at Yu Zhining, who was lying in it and was about to die: "Teacher, try not to stop on the road, use the fastest speed Datang, don't wait for me, and don't send someone back to find me, I will find a way to drag them down here in Goguryeo." ”
Yu Zhining sat up all of a sudden, and said with a sad face: "Mu Yun, let's stay with the old man, the old man is old, even if he dies, he won't lose, you ......"
Li Muyun waved his hand to signal Lao Yu not to be excited: "I'll be fine, King Rongliu is not a fool, if he really wants to move me, it is estimated that our corpses will be cold at this time." ”
Yu Zhining nodded reluctantly, and glanced at Li Muyun deeply, since he heard him finish talking about the plan to stay in the king the night before, Lao Yu was immediately frightened and did not possess his body, this kind of competition for imperial power is often the most widely implicated, and if he is accidentally implicated, he will die without a place to be buried.
Li Muyun also knew this, so after saying all this to Zhining, he didn't wait for him to express his opinion, and really arranged for him to get sick, and at the same time asked Gao Jianwu to return to Datang.
But Gao Jianwu is not a fool, Yu Zhining is dispensable to him, an old master is not in his eyes, even if he returns to Datang, it doesn't matter, but Li Muyun must not leave.
Not for anything else, just because Li Muyun is too active, although he has repeatedly emphasized that he will not leak any news, but before the matter has no result, Gao Jianwu will not let him leave no matter what.
And not only that, even Yu Zhining, who left, was monitored by the escort team sent by Gao Jianwu throughout the whole process, and at the same time, this escort team was also ordered, anyone who had contact with Yu Zhining on the road must be killed, leaving no one alive.
Li Muyun was detained by Gao Jianwu at this time, as long as the bones of those former Sui soldiers did not come out for a day, or Li Muyun did not meet the requirements of King Rongliu for a day, he would not have a chance to leave.
Yu Zhining has been an official all his life, so he can naturally see the doorway clearly, but he is now powerful and has nowhere to go, and he can't help at all, even if he stays, it will become a burden as Li Muyun said, and it is far from being reassuring to go back to Datang.
