1208, a wise woman
"Hahaha, this time, thanks to Brother Mu. β
The Mansion of the Eighth Prince.
A celebration of the magnitude is underway.
The eight princes, who won a big victory, still have a sense of unreality, intoxicated by the wonderful feeling of turning over and becoming the prince in one fell swoop, and they are extremely excited.
He looked at Li Mu with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.
It was this person who gave himself the opportunity to complete his work.
Li Mu's seat at this time, in the position of the first meritorious hero, heard the words, got up, and said: "This is His Royal Highness's virtue, luck is added to one, subordinates are just a little bit of effort, do not dare to take credit, this glass of wine, subordinates respect His Royal Highness." β
Nice answer.
The eighth prince is more satisfied with Li Mu.
It is really a great blessing for such a brave and resourceful genius to use it for himself.
Originally, he just sent Li Mu to assassinate Ouyang Yi, but he discovered the conspiracy of the three princes, and on the premise that Li Mu had completely mastered Ouyang Yi, Xiao Xiao's planning was completely natural.
In the end, the Eighth Prince secretly prepared and mobilized the strength of his own line, and finally succeeded in grabbing the fruits of victory at the last moment.
Now, the tide is set.
With the death of the three princes' rebellion, the eldest prince and his previous competitive prince were overwhelmed by the three princes, and now they have completely lost their power, survived and lost their competitiveness.
The position of the eighth prince, the crown prince, has been firmly seated.
In fact, the old emperor was completely in the hands of the Eighth Emperor, and many ministers, masters, and even the extremely worshiped golden immortals in the royal family had secretly taken refuge in him.
Now, even if the Eighth Prince wants to ascend the throne as emperor immediately, he can do it all.
It's just that because of some etiquette, false name, and in order to have a better explanation in the history books, he listened to the opinions of Xiao Xiao and other henchmen, temporarily suppressed his inner impulses, and slowly figured it out according to normal procedures.
In short, everything is under control.
Powerful.
The old emperor became a puppet, in name only.
It was only a matter of time before the entire Emperor Cliff fell into his control.
And all of this was brought to him by Mu Mu.
If you think about it carefully, since Mu Mu followed him, it seemed like time was running, and everything went smoothly like a dream.
The powerful position that once seemed close at hand, but was actually far away, is now easily picked up in his hands at once.
Mr. Xiao is right.
Mu Mu, the deputy general of the main palace.
"Haha, Brother Mu, this king has always had clear rewards and punishments, you have made such a great achievement, how can you not reward it? Haha, tell me for yourself, what reward you want, just open your mouth, as long as this king can do it, he will definitely not hesitate to reward. β
The Eighth Prince was in high spirits and laughed.
Li Mu thought about it very seriously and said, "That being the case, my subordinates want some immortal crystals to assist in cultivation, so that they can improve their strength as soon as possible and better serve His Highness." β
"Haha, okay. β
The eighth prince, no, he should be called the crown prince now, heard Li Mu's request, and his heart became more and more happy.
Look, this is Mu Mu, unlike those pretentious and pretending to be 'bewitching sluts', you can say what you want directly, and what you ask for is also very reasonable.
If his courtiers and advisors are like this, then he can rest easy.
The more the prince looked at Li Mu, the more he liked it.
"Come on, reward Mu Mu Xianjing 1,000 catties, a fairy armor, and three fairy swords. β
He said loudly.
"What?"
"Thousand catties of source crystals?"
"It's a huge reward. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why do you attach so much importance to this person?"
"What credit did he make?"
Suddenly, everyone at the banquet was buzzing and exclaiming.
Not to mention anything else, this thousand catties of source crystals alone is definitely a dizzying wealth, comparable to the first-class officials of the dynasty and those golden immortals in the royal family for a whole year.
Only a few people know the inside story of Li Mu's meritorious service.
Originally, Li Mu sat on the first seat of the heroes today, and many people wondered, but now hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so rewarded, it makes Li Mu's identity and status seem unfathomable and mysterious in the eyes of those who don't know.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. β
Li Mu was not shocked by the humiliation, and bowed down to thank him.
The prince waved his hand, and said: "Haha, it's not enough, the reward is not enough, Brother Mu's official rank is too low now, and it doesn't match your strength and merits, so let's do it, from now on, you will be the commander of the guards around the palace, the second-grade official rank, and the first-grade Yulu, and the palace will give you the emperor-level true dragon token, and you can enter and exit the East Palace, the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City with you, as for cultivation, you should have resources, but if you need it, you don't need to ask the palace for instructions, you can withdraw it directly." β
As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the entire banquet suddenly became even louder.
Such a reward is far beyond normal specifications.
Countless Dao looked at Li Mu with unparalleled envy in their eyes.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves this Mu Mu.
is so favored, even Xiao Xiao, the number one celebrity under the former prince, is not as good.
No matter what the ministers and masters of all parties think, how envious, and how dissatisfied, they must admit that at this moment, at this moment, this Mu Mu, who lives in the middle of the house, is the prince's mansion, no, he can even be regarded as the number one celebrity in the dynasty.
Such a person should try not to offend.
You need to make more friends.
The banquet gradually entered a climax.
"Hehe, Mu Gongzi, the slave family toasts you with a cup, congratulations to Mu Gongzi on becoming an official and becoming a knight, and his future is immeasurable. β
Familiar laughter rang out.
γBlissful FairyγXia Jing came to Li Mu with a wine glass.
The posture is enchanting, like a fairy among the immortals, gorgeous and unsquare, with all kinds of styles, and beautiful elegance, all of a sudden, I don't know how many men's hot eyes have been attracted.
Li Mu also learned today that it turned out that this [Blissful Fairy] was actually called the first beauty of the Huangji Cliff.
It is rumored that even the old emperor in the past once thought about taking Xia Jing as a concubine, but it was just because she was not from a good background and was not noble enough, so she gave up under the strong opposition of the ministers.
Later, Xia Jing maneuvered between the royal family, ministers, princes and major masters, relying on amazing beauty, superb skills, and good strength, left and right, and became a famous celebrity courtesan of Huangji Cliff.
It was only in the first two years, for some reason, that he entered the mansion of the Thirteen Princes and became a guest.
Some say she became the pet of the Thirteen Princes.
Some people also say that she is the most valued knife of the Thirteen Princes.
In short, she has been working for the Thirteen Princes for the past two years, and she seems to be loyal.
This time, with the rise of the Eighth Prince, the Thirteen Princes lost power, seeing that it was already a yellow flower of tomorrow, the so-called tree fell and scattered, and the doormen on the Thirteen Princes' Mansion basically fled most of them, [Bliss Fairy] Xia Jing, the most beautiful woman in the Huangji Cliff, but I don't know why, she turned into a confidant of the new prince, and was able to participate in today's celebration banquet, which makes people have to admire her means.
Li Mu didn't have any special feelings for this woman.
But after all, when Ouyang Yi was assassinated that day, this woman indirectly helped herself, so Li Mu drank the wine, nodded slightly, and sat back with an expressionless face.
The banquet continued.
One after another, other guests from the prince's mansion, as well as the ministers of the court and the central government who had taken refuge in the new prince, came to toast Li Mu, a 'red man'.
But Li Mu's face was like a dull wood, and he refused all of them directly without exception.
"Not good at drinking. β
This is the reason given by Li Mu.
Everyone was furious.
Trick you are.
Xia Jing's bewitching slut toasted just now, didn't you drink it too?
When it's our turn, let's say it's not good at drinking?
If you have to refuse others' words, can you be careful, don't use such a clumsy, self-defeating excuse.
But this is the number one celebrity in the Prince's Mansion now, even if he doesn't give you face, there is no way to provoke him.
The last group sat back in a huff.
Li Mu was expressionless and calm.
Such a scene fell in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and suddenly his evaluation of Li Mu was even higher.
"This person is not only terrifying and unfathomable, but even his scheming is so deep, in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he does not give these ministers and heroes in front of him, he is clearly expressing his position to His Royal Highness the Prince, only loyal to the prince alone, has no desire for power, and does not disdain to form a party for personal gain, and cultivate his own relationship vein. β
It's really both wise and brave.
Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly became a little vigilant.
If this trend continues, one day, will Mu Mu really become the number one celebrity around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and replace him Xiao Xiao directly?
He subconsciously looked at the crown prince.
Seeing that the prince was also looking at Mu Mu, a smile of relief appeared on his face, obviously very satisfied with Mu Mu's performance.
In Xiao Xiao's heart, there was a sense of urgency.
But how did he know that Li Mucai didn't think so deeply.
In Li Mu's eyes, the prince, he, and these so-called ministers are all dead souls under the knife sooner or later, and the prince has use value, so he can deal with it with the snake, and the others Li Mu is just too lazy to dick.
Towards the end of the banquet, Li Mu got up to say goodbye.
He didn't really like the occasion.
Coming out of the new prince's mansion and walking on the streets, Li Mu's mood was quite relaxed.
Everything was going according to his plan.
The Eighth Prince was soon able to ascend to the throne, and he had gained absolute trust.
That scholar named Xiao Xiao is too heavy-minded, he is a threat, so it's good to go back and find a way to get rid of it.
Just as Li Mu was thinking secretly, behind him, a familiar voice appeared again.
"Where are Mu Gongzi going?"
The voice is soft and charming, with a special charm, which is enough to make any man, after hearing it, his heart will be full of thoughts, and he can't help but feel a wave in his heart.
Li Mu turned around and went back, frowning slightly.
[Blissful Fairy] Xia Jing looked at him with a smile, as if she was a young and innocent girl playing with her sweetheart.
"Hehe, Mu Gongzi, I don't seem to like the slave family. Xia Jing approached with a smile and said quite aggrievedly: "Is it because of what I saw in the Yellow Dragon Pavilion that night that Gongzi felt that the slave family was too dirty?"
That night, Li Mu changed his appearance and assassinated.
Xia Jing didn't see Li Mu's true face.
But from today's prince's attitude towards Li Mu, she deduced that Li Mu was the burly man who killed Jin Xian and saved himself that night.
This is an extremely intelligent woman.
"What's the matter?" Li Mu asked lightly.
One shift today, three shifts tomorrow will be made up
