Text vs 433 Who's in contention?
In the city of Jacos, the capital of Moro, people wore thick leather jackets and sat in the inn and wine shop chatting about the current situation. For these ordinary people, the harsh winter months are the days to get together and drink. An autumn hunt, harvested hides and mountain goods can be exchanged for the whole winter of happiness. Cheap low-quality soju, with a few pieces of dry jerky, and salt is their wine and food.
The battle of Mamaia City was a bit confusing for these ordinary people. The original enemy became the allies, and the Western Vietnamese allies, who had always supported them against foreign enemies, became ghosts under the sword. People thought it was incredible, and even secretly began to quietly criticize the lord of the country, Vupor Khan. It was felt that Vupor Khan had betrayed his treachery and raised his butcher's knife against his allies in exchange for the security of the throne. This kind of discussion quietly spread among the streets of Jacques City, and even worse, after getting drunk, he scolded the court for being unkind and unjust.
In an inn not far from Helian Mansion in the city, in an inconspicuous corner of the inn, four big men drank unhurriedly with their heads down. The drinks they asked for were the best soju in the inn, and the dishes they ate were the most expensive, but the four of them didn't talk and communicate, just drank the soju silently. They are Gu Fan Xia Lei and Liu Xi Geli, and after the eighteen guards came to Yaks City, they collected news in these very ordinary inns and wine shops.
It has been three days since the moon came, and since she secretly stayed in Helian Chaha's mansion, she has not made an appointment to meet anyone. Even the lord of the mansion, Helian Chaha, and Yutai Mingyue asked not to disturb her if there was no major matter. Except for the return of the martial arts cultivator, Tangtai Mingyue will not allow anyone to meet secretly for the time being.
The area of the General's Mansion in Helian Chaha is not large, and his level can only be regarded as a second-rate character in Yaks City. However, the Helian family is one of the important tribes of the Moro Kingdom. The west courtyard of the General's Mansion has become a forbidden place, and the people guarding inside and outside are all personal soldiers brought by the Mingyue of Shantai. No one is allowed to step in except Helian Chaha.
In front of the independent window of Mingyue in Taitai, he listened to Gu Fan and others talking about the information they had gathered. After listening to this, Yutai Mingyue nodded slightly.
"It seems that martial arts cultivation has not only begun to operate within the court, but also the people. Weakening Vupor Khan's influence from top to bottom, he wanted to take over the power smoothly. ”
Xiang Tian said worriedly, "Master Military Division, Wei Chihai, the Minister of the Moro Military Department, is going to take over the military power of martial law cultivation, I'm afraid something will happen." If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and the last general feels that it is better to leave as soon as possible. Or, leave the Helian Mansion and find a place outside the city to live in seclusion for a while. ”
Yutai Mingyue smiled calmly, "This is not necessary, since you are here, you have to see the result before you can leave." That Wu Fa Xiu is also a scheming person, and Wu Bo Khan has been in charge of the country for many years, and this battle between them must be exciting. ”
"But~ in case it endangers the safety of the military master, I can't afford it." Gu Fan also said.
Tantai Mingyue shook her head, "It doesn't matter, no matter who wins or loses, as long as Duan Shuai's army doesn't leave Moro, no one dares to move this army." ”
Gu Fan glanced at the two of them, they were not as relaxed as Tangtai Mingyue. Although the identity of the bright moon can deter all parties in Moro, it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, for fear that the losing side will jump over the wall in a hurry and secretly play the black hand, and re-provoke the war between the Great Calendar Kingdom and Moro.
While the three of them were talking, Jin Rushi walked in from outside, "Master Strategist, Helian Chaha asks to see you." ”
"Well, let him in." Yutai Mingyue said softly.
After a while, Helian Chaha walked in in civilian clothes. Until now, Helian Chaha had been in the shadows, and the Moro officials had no idea that he had returned to the capital.
Helian Chaha's face was a little excited, he was simply polite, looked at Mingyue and said, "Your Highness Mingyue, I just received the news that the prince of Faxiu has returned to the city. ”
Tangtai Mingyue was stunned, "Back to the city?" What's going on over there in the camp? ”
"According to the inside line of the Ministry of War, the prince of Faxiu ~ handed over the military power." Helian Chaha sighed.
When Tantai Mingyue heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's okay to hand it over, don't confront Wupol Khan head-on for the time being, it seems that the prince of Faxiu is very good at forbearance." ”
Helian Chaha was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mingyue in surprise, "What, His Royal Highness Mingyue thinks that Prince Faxiu is right to do this?" You must know that if you lose your military power, it is very likely that the Faxiu prince will return alone~. ”
Yutai Mingyue interrupted, "The battle of Mamaia City was personally ordered by His Majesty Vupor Khan. It can be said that the prince of Wufa Xiu is a meritorious man, even if Wupol Khan wants to sanction him, he will have to wait until after the withdrawal of our army. Could it be that the prince was imprisoned as soon as he returned? ”
"Uh~ That's not it. However, there are eyeliners all around the palace, and the prince's every move is being monitored. I am worried that after the prince returns home, it will be difficult to act in secret. Because anyone who enters and leaves the palace is estimated to be secretly interrogated. ”
Tantai Mingyue said calmly, "Don't worry, this palace believes that the Faxiu prince has his own way." General Helian, that lieutenant Chi Hai will take over the power of the army, and the matter of you leaving the camp without permission will be exposed. You here, I don't know if you will be interrogated. ”
Helian Chaha clenched his fists, "Your Highness, although rest assured, the last general has already made an agreement with the prince." At present, on the record in the army, the last general should be the old mother at home who is seriously ill and takes leave to return home to investigate. All this, the prince has already left a plan. ”
As Helian Chaha was talking, he saw Liu Xi hurriedly walking in from outside. Everyone was stunned, and Liu Xi hurriedly said.
"Lord Helian, the steward of the palace has something important to see you."
Helian Chaha's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness will come later, when you go down." ”
Helian Chaha hurriedly walked out, and Gu Fan's eyes looked at Liu Xi, whether there was a change in the meaning of the house. Liu Xi shook his head to signal that everything was normal, and Gu Fan Xiangtian was relieved.
After a while, Helian Chaha returned again, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to go with the last general, and the prince Chitose wants to see you." ”
When Xiang Tian heard this, he said in surprise, "There are many eyeliners in the palace, aren't you afraid that my master will be exposed?" ”
"Don't worry, the prince has arranged everything." Helian Chaha seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, and said confidently.
Yutai Mingyue smiled faintly, "Since this palace has come to Yaks City, of course I want to meet the prince." General Helian arranged for Gu Fan to go to the palace with him. Wait for the others. ”
Helian Chaha agreed, and hurried to order the carriage and horses. Gu Fan looked at the moon in the sky, and the two felt that such a rash decision was too risky. Even if they want to go, they should at least bring all eighteen of their guards. But Gu Fan Xiangtian also knew that the goal of everyone's action together was too big, so he had to let Liu Xi and others secretly follow.
Two very ordinary carriages drove out of the General's Mansion one after the other, and Gu Fan Xiangtian wore a Moro costume and rode on both sides of the vehicles behind. However, they could not carry the iconic long knife, so they had to follow the escort with a hunting knife at their waist.
The carriage of Mingyue followed Helian Chaha in front, walked for less than half a pillar of incense, and came to a tall mansion gate. The carriage and horse did not stop, and were directly brought in through the side door by a middle-aged man who had been waiting for a long time.
The bright moon looked out of the car window, although the flowers and trees were still covered with snow, but the pavilions and pavilions showed a royal style everywhere. This style of official residence, I'm afraid that in addition to the palace, only the prince can have it, and Yutai Mingyue knows that they have indeed entered the palace.
As soon as the carriage and horses stopped in front of the main hall, several servants hurriedly ran over and set up the stools. Xiang Tian personally raised the curtain of the car, and Tai Mingyue walked down with Xiang Tian's arm.
Two richly dressed men walked over, and Helian Chaha, who had already gotten out of the carriage, saw that he hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down and salute, and the man on the left raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary.
The two men looked at the noble Shentai Mingyue, and the man who raised his hand just now arched his hand and said, "Little Wang Wuxuanchi, I have seen Emperor Mingyue." ”
Yutai Mingyue was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a faint smile, "It turned out to be Prince Xuanchi's mansion, and the palace thought that he was going to the Faxiu Prince." ”
As soon as Mingyue's voice fell, he saw a person walking out of the hall, "Your Highness Mingyue, of course the old man is here." The journey is tiring, this king has just changed his outfit, His Royal Highness Mingyue will not blame the old man for being late. ”
Wu Fa Xiu's thin body appeared outside the lobby, and Yutai Mingyue couldn't help but be a little stunned, and Helian Chaha was also stunned.
"Why, Lord Faxiu didn't go back to his mansion?" Yutai Mingyue asked in surprise.
Wu Xuanchi said with a smile, "After the imperial uncle and that Xiao Zhicheng were separated in the city, they were secretly picked up by Xiao Wang's people, and the car that entered his palace was just an empty car. Empress Mingyue, Xiao Wang will introduce you. ”
Wu Xuanchi said and pointed to the person next to him, "This is my Minister of the Moro Minister, Helian Saxing." ”
Yutai Mingyue was stunned, no wonder Helian Chaha wanted to kneel just now, it turned out that it was not only because of martial arts cultivation, but also because the patriarch of the Helian tribe was also there.
Helian Saxing bowed slightly, "I've seen Emperor Mingyue." ”
Yutai Mingyue responded with her head bowed, and Wu Xuan gave in late, and everyone entered the lobby. After a few greetings with martial arts cultivators, everyone sat down, and Gu Fan didn't speak to the sky, and stood directly behind Mingyue.
Yutai Mingyue looked at Wu Fa Xiu and asked softly, "Lord Fa Xiu, it's easy to hand over the military power, but it's difficult to get it back." I don't know if the two princes, without the deterrence of military power, still have a chance of winning? ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and before Wu Faxiu could speak, Wu Xuanchi preemptively said, "Your Highness Mingyue, don't worry about the military camp, even if that captain Chi Hai takes over the power of the army, Pu Erye and Chalcinker will still obey Xiao Wang's orders." On the other hand, in fact, my royal brother also took a wrong step by doing this. ”
"Oh? I wonder what step did His Majesty Vupol Khan take? Yutai Mingyue asked.
Wu Xuanchi said, "Wei Chihai is the Minister of War, and after the war broke out, he was directly in charge of all the defenses of Yaks City. Wei Chihai left, but the military power of the national capital fell into the hands of others. It can be said that there is no difference between the gains and losses of each other. ”
"So, the defense force of the Moro capital is already in the hands of Prince Xuanchi?" Yutai Mingyue asked.
Wu Xuanchi smiled slightly, and acquiesced. Wu Faxiu took over the conversation and said, "Your Highness Mingyue, Emperor Xuanchi's nephew has been kind and charitable over the years, and has made a lot of courtiers. It's just that, in order to avoid suspicion, it is inconvenient for them to communicate openly. Since the old man was reactivated, Vupor Khan has never forgotten the events of the year, and he has put all his energy on the old man. Don't you know that at the age of the old man, he has long lost the meaning of competition. Originally, the old man planned to spend his old age in peace after this war. Since Wupol Khan can't tolerate me, the old man can only take over the throne with the nephew of Emperor Xuanchi. What's more, Vupor Khan was in poor health and could not handle the heavy state affairs. After the death of Wubatu, according to the order of inheritance of my Moro royal family, the nephew of Emperor Xuanchi was also ranked after the other two princes of Wupol Khan. Speaking of which, Emperor Xuanchi's nephew is not a usurper. ”
Wu Xuanchi stood up and respectfully saluted the martial arts cultivator, "Thank you Uncle Huang for your strong support, if Xiao Wang can ascend to the throne, he will definitely make every effort to benefit the people of Li." Of course, it is also necessary to rely on the grace of the Great Calendar Kingdom to let the five countries of the world get real peace. ”
Tantai Mingyue looked at the two Moro princes, but felt a little sad for Navupol Khan in her heart. Wu Fa Xiu was scheming and calculating, and the deliberate layout attracted the main energy of Vupor Khan. Don't you know that the real threat is around. The two princes are bright and dark, I'm afraid that Wupol Khan is really going to plant this time. Until now, Vupor Khan did not know who was fighting him.
Yutai Mingyue asked again, "Two princes, Mingyue shouldn't have been involved in your Moro's family affairs. But since there is an agreement with the Faxiu prince, Mingyue and her husband will definitely keep their promise. It's just that I don't know how many courtiers can support Prince Xuanchi? ”
Helian Saxing arched his hand and said, "Your Highness Mingyue, the courtiers don't have to worry, His Royal Highness Xuanchi is kind-hearted and deeply admired by the courtiers." ”
Tantai Mingyue nodded, Helian Saxing dared to say this, it seemed that a large number of courtiers were connected. Yutai Mingyue thought for a moment and asked again.
"Then, are you preparing to admonish the army, or are the ministers forcing the palace?"
Wu Xuanchi said, "Your Highness Mingyue, this Moro battle can be said to have shaken the foundation of my Moro. Now that the war is over, according to the ancestral system, Vupor Khan will lead his ministers to the ancestral temple outside the city to comfort the ancestors. Xiao Wang and the imperial uncle are preparing to invite the imperial brother of Wupol Khan to the throne at the sacrificial ceremony. ”
Wu Faxiu continued, "In the five kingdoms of the world, the succession has never been very peaceful, let alone Zen. Therefore, this time it is both a forced palace and a military admonition. As the commander-in-chief, the king has returned to the national capital, and it is estimated that he will go to the ancestral temple outside the city in three days. ”
"Then~ If His Majesty Wupol Khan notices the rumors, will he take action against the Faxiu Prince in advance?" Yutai Mingyue asked.
Wu Xuanchi said, "Even if he wants to do something to the emperor's uncle, even if he catches the evidence, he has to comfort the ancestors in front of the ancestral temple before executing." This is the rule of my Moro royal family, after all, we have the blood passed down from our ancestors. ”
Tantai Mingyue nodded, "Since the two princes have arranged so carefully, the odds should be in hand." But I don't know what is the need for this palace to come to Yaks City? ”
Wu Faxiu said, "To be honest, this king is not sure of victory. The ancestral temple is sacrificed, and there are many guards in the palace, even if all the troops in the city obey the dispatch of Emperor Xuanchi's nephew, it is only a fifty percent chance of winning. After all, this is a dispute between the royal family, and this king does not want to see a river of blood. Therefore, the arrival of His Royal Highness Mingyue is a crucial step. ”
Yutai Mingyue was slightly stunned, "I don't know what the prince said?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and Wu Xuanchi sighed, "His Royal Highness Mingyue doesn't know that Xiao Wang's fight for the throne is actually not entirely out of selfish interests. If Prince Batu did not die, this king would not have such plans. After all, in the minds of the courtiers, Prince Batu is a good candidate for the throne. But as soon as Batu died, the succession would fall to the other two princes. If their conduct can take on the great responsibility, they will not be demoted to the national capital to guard the ancestral temple. His Royal Highness should understand that the struggle for imperial power has always been cruel. This time, if you don't get it right, you'll be in a divided situation. In other words, even if Xiao Wang seizes the throne, many families will take the opportunity to rebel. Therefore, I can only ask Emperor Mingyue to lift it up, so that my Moro Imperial Power is safe. ”
When Tantai Mingyue heard this, she understood what Wu Xuanchi meant, "Prince Xuanchi, you mean the Weichi clan." ”
"Not only the Weichi tribe, but also some royal relatives." Wu Xuanchi said.
Tantai Mingyue nodded, "Okay, this palace will sing a double reed with the two princes." The prince of Faxiu helped my husband destroy Lu Mu, and this favor must be repaid in this palace. The soldiers and horses of the Emperor Jishan in the city of Temira are your powerful backing. ”
After receiving a firm reply from Tantai Mingyue, Wu Xuanchi's face was overjoyed, and Helian Saxing was also determined. Now that Moro has insufficient soldiers and horses, they are worried that after forcing the palace, many tribes will take the opportunity to rebel, and even use the power of tribal soldiers and horses to blackmail Wu Xuanchi. Now that the emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom is in the capital of Moro, this is a great deterrent to any tribe in Moro. The bright moon of Tangtai can not only deter these tribes, but also the last straw that crushes Vupor Khan.
While Wu Faxiu and the others were discussing, in the palace, Wu Bo Khan was also listening to the secret music. As soon as Xiao Zhicheng came back, he immediately entered the palace. Xiao Zhicheng didn't dare not come, but he didn't dare to say that Wu Fa Xiu was going to fight for power. He just reported the matter of Duan Lang of the Martial Law Cultivation Secret Society, and in addition, Xiao Zhicheng more or less hinted that the Martial Law Cultivation had a heart of disobedience. As a Taifu, Xiao Zhicheng didn't dare to put all his net worth on Wu Fa Xiu.
Although Xiao Zhicheng agreed to martial arts cultivation, he was worried that if he failed, he would also be implicated. Therefore, the shrewd Xiao Zhicheng also left a hand. It not only implies that the martial arts are not subordinate, but also does not leak all the things. Even if the martial arts cultivation fails in the end, Wupol Khan will not hold him responsible. It's nothing more than a lack of ability, and no insight into the true intentions of martial law cultivation.
Soon after Xiao Zhicheng left the palace, Zamido came to the Tide Viewing Hall to perform a secret recital.
Wupol Khan's face was gloomy, "Zamido, are you sure that Wu Fa Xiu is not in the mansion?" ”
Zamido knelt down on one knee, "Back to the master, since the old prince was lifted, the minions have placed people up and down the mansion. The slave just received the news that the one who returned home today was just an empty car, and the Faxiu prince was not in the car at all. ”
"What about ~ others? I didn't let you keep a close watch all the way, why did you get lost? ”
"This~ the minion is being tracked." Zamido said timidly.
Wu Bo Khan snorted coldly, "My old imperial uncle, what kind of trick is this playing with me. This person has always been obsessed with my country, so good, I forced him to come out. Zamido, go to the palace immediately, and pass on the martial law to cultivate into the palace. ”
Wupol Khan made a decree with a black face, although he can't do anything about martial arts cultivation now, but Wupol Khan has decided that after martial arts cultivation enters the palace, don't think about going out again. On the day of the ancestral temple sacrifice, he will announce to the subjects of the world the responsibility of repairing the martial arts and destroying the soldiers, and righteously destroy his relatives to correct the law. For those who peep into the throne of the country, even if it is his imperial uncle, Wupol Khan cannot let go.
Zamido took the palace guards and quickly rushed to the palace of Wu Faxiu. As soon as the holy decree is issued, Wu Fa Xiu has to come out to receive the decree no matter where he is hiding. Otherwise, Zamidol would have been able to openly search the entire city. It was even said that the arrest was carried out in the name of resisting the decree.
