Chapter 431: Promise to cooperate
Hearing Rong Che say that General Mu Yuan intended to rebel, Mu Lin's mind boomed, as if it had been blown up by thunder and lightning.
"This is impossible!" Mu Lin immediately retorted, "My father will never rebel!" The Mu family has been innocent for generations, guarding the Great Wei Frontier for many years, and their loyalty is evident, how can they rebel!"
His father, General Mu Yuan, had great achievements in war, and when many small countries around him tried to invade the territory of the Great Wei, his father fought bloodily and led his troops to repel them, and he also suffered a lot of injuries.
How could such a person rebel.
Even if my father wanted to rebel, my grandfather wouldn't agree to it!
Rong Che knew that he wouldn't believe it, and said, "Maybe the previous General Mu Yuan was loyal, but who can guarantee that the current General Mu Yuan is still the same as back then? ”
Mullin's face turned pale, yes, he saw the change in his father.
Since he brought Xin back, everything has changed, he used to be in love with his mother, but then his whole heart was on Xin's body, and his mother was sad, although she wanted her father to turn back, she was not Xin's opponent.
How could he not know that his mother's death was inseparable from Xin's, but he had no evidence, and his father was already extremely partial to Xin's.
If his grandfather had stopped him, maybe his little life would have been gone.
Such a father, he is very strange.
He didn't believe that his father would treat his mother like this, but he did hurt his mother, and he didn't believe that his father was ignoring him, but it turned out that only Xin's children were his own sons to his father now, right?
He didn't believe his father would rebel...... However, is my father really the same person he once was?
Rong Che knew that he still didn't believe it in his heart, and continued: "The Xin family in the Mu Mansion is a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, if you talk about it, she should be regarded as the princess of the Miao Kingdom, she is close to your father, and she has a premeditated plan to seize the military power of the Mu family. ”
Mu Lin listened to Rong Che's words and was surprised in his heart.
He originally thought that no matter how powerful the Xin family was, she was just a woman who wanted to compete for favor and climb up, as long as she won the position of the general's wife, she would be prosperous and rich in the future, but he didn't expect that there were many secrets in it.
"This king is investigating the case in Qianzhou, and it is the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Xin family who have been stealing official silver in Qianzhou for the past few years. Shun Teng found out the Mu Mansion, those thieves were beaten away by the king, I think they came to Nanzhao County to defect to the Xin family, and wanted to use the Mu Mansion to deal with the king, so the king will look for you. Rong Che had already made his words very clear.
Mu Lin listened to Rong Che's words and pondered for a while.
He raised his eyes to look at Rong Che, and saw that Rong Che's eyes were open, and he somewhat believed in Rong Che.
It's just that......
"He's my father. Mullin began.
So he was very entangled, if it was really as Rong Che said, his father had the intention of rebellion, and he and King Xuan joined forces to shake this matter out, then how could the reputation of the Mu family still exist?
Rong Che knew his hesitation and said: "He is your father, can you bear to watch him embark on a road of no return under the bewitchment of the Xin family?" As you said, the Mu family has been innocent for generations and has made great achievements, if it is because of the crime of rebellion, the Mu family will never be able to turn over." ”
Mullin clenched his hands into fists, and he hesitated.
But he knew that Rong Che was right, if his father really became a puppet of others, then he would really ruin the Mu family.
He looked at Rong Che and said, "How do you know that I will definitely cooperate with you?"
Rong Che said indifferently: "Actually, this king doesn't have to cooperate with you, in a few days, Governor Yang and the prefect of Qianzhou, who are guarding in Guizhou, will come with soldiers and horses to suppress the rebels, but in this way, not only will the two sides suffer heavy losses, but your Mu family will really be ruined." ”
Mu Lin also guessed that Rong Che had already prepared the back road, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come to his own move like this.
He looked at Rong Che seriously: "What do you want me to do?"
Rong Che hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "If you want to protect the reputation of your Mu family, only if you personally take down your father, this king will report to the emperor at that time, and say that you first revealed to this king that General Mu was bewitched by the Xin family and did unwise things, and asked for the help of this king, and then killed your relatives in righteousness, and this king will speak for your Mu mansion." ”
Mu Lin was silent, and he had to say that King Xuan's hand was indeed feasible.
Only by putting all the crimes on the Xin family and the Miao State thieves, pretending to be the victim of the Mu Mansion, killing relatives again, and personally going to Chang'an to ask for guilt, can the innocence of the Mu family be guaranteed.
Otherwise, with the emperor's temperament, I don't know if he will wipe out the Mu family!
"Good. Mu Lin spoke, he looked at Rong Che, and just like that, he settled the matter, "What are you going to do?"
Rong Che smiled slightly and said, "You are the rightful heir of the Mu family, and you can do too much." ”
Mullin returned to the barracks after more than an hour.
Seeing Mullin return, his soldiers began to call again.
"Hey, who let the family be Mu Xiaogongzi, let us be punished here, but we went to be lazy. ”
"That's it, people's lives are good!"
Mullin clenched his sword tightly in his hand, and when he heard the words of the soldiers, he didn't pretend not to hear them this time.
He's been holding back long enough to survive, and now he's ...... No need.
Mullin stood in front of the men and asked, "What were you talking about?"
Feeling the gloomy aura around him, many people fell silent.
However, there are still people who are not afraid of death, and said sarcastically: "We just envy Mu Xiaogongzi." ”
Mu Lin's eyes sank slightly, and he drew his sword and stabbed it into the soldier's chest, and said lightly: "Since you are so envious, this son will fulfill you and let you go to a good birth in advance." ”
He drew his long sword, and the originally clean sword body was already stained with bright red blood, dripping to the ground, causing everyone to be terrified.
"You...... How can you kill casually!" said a soldier as he pointed at him, trembling.
Mu Lin sneered: "This son is the eldest son of the Mu family, the successor of the Mu family, the entire Mu Mansion and the Mu family army will be this son in the future, as the Mu family army, you are disrespectful to this son, if you don't kill it, will you stay and waste your military salary?"
The gloomy aura around him made everyone feel terrible, and they all fell silent for a while.
One person swallowed his saliva, but still said: "The general is still here, you are not the only son in the Mu Mansion!"
Mullin looked at the soldier with a cold gaze and stepped forward step by step.
The soldiers who were still standing in a group saw Mu Xiaogongzi walking towards the person who spoke just now, and they all moved away from him.
With the soldier who was killed just now, the fool will directly fight with Mullin!
But that person was the person installed by the Xin family, so he naturally wanted to mobilize everyone to rebel against Mu Lin, but what he didn't expect was that when the others saw Mu Lin's appearance, they all chose to stay away.
They don't have a task on their bodies, so naturally they won't use their lives to refute the son of Mu Mansion again.
Mu Lin walked up to the soldier and said, "It seems that you support the Mu family's milk doll who has just been born, but even if he wants to take power, he will have to wait for more than ten years, if my father has some accident now, who will call the shots in this Mu Mansion?"
When everyone heard Mu Lin's words, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Seeing that he was alone, the soldier was about to explain, but before he could speak, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, looked at Mullin in shock, and then fell straight down, out of breath.
The two people he killed just now were all people that Xin had planted beside him.
How could he not know, but he was afraid that the Xin clan would make further moves, so he didn't make a move against these people for a long time.
There were more than 300 people in this barracks, and in addition to Mullin, there were two other centurions, and when they saw the situation here, they didn't know what to say for a while.
They have always seen what happened to Mu Lin, and there were people to help them at the beginning, after all, they were the sons of Mu Fu.
It's just that the people who helped him will be cleaned up for some reason, but no one dares to make a move, and now they are a little surprised to see Mu Lin like this.
Mu Lin turned his head to look at everyone in the stockade and said, "Who else? You have to think clearly, whose Mu Mansion will belong to in the future." ”
The two centurions glanced at each other, then stepped forward and knelt down, arching their hands and saying, "My subordinates swear to follow their master to the death!"
The soldiers behind the two centurions knelt down and showed their loyalty.
Those who were under Mullin's hands before looked at Mullin as if he had changed as a person, and for a moment regretted the stupid things he had done with others before.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the general doesn't wait to see Mu Xiaogongzi again, he is still the heir of this Mu Mansion!
So they knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
Mullin looked at these people coldly, and the sword in his hand tightened a little.
From now on, he will support the entire Mu Mansion.
Before doing it again, he wants to unify the Xin family and the people behind her!
Rong Che went to the city of Nanzhao County and found a secluded inn to live in.
Qiu Li's search again, but there was no news that Xin Yuan lived in the Mu Mansion.
If Xin Yuan really came to Nanzhao County, he must have come to take refuge with Aunt Xin in the Mu Mansion.
"Now it seems that Xin Yuan has not yet come into contact with Mu Yuan. Qiu Carp said.
Rong Che said indifferently: "With the Xin clan here, he doesn't need to contact Mu Yuan in person." ”
Anyway, Mu Yuan is now obedient to the Xin family, as long as the Xin family coaxes, Xin Yuan can get a lot of rights from the Mu Mansion even if he doesn't have to see Mu Yuan.
"Keep a close eye on that Xin clan and go check if there are any new generals in the Mu Mansion recently. Rong Che commanded.
If Xin Yuan wants to control the Mu Mansion, he must start from the inside first.
Qiu Li's hand: "My subordinates know!"
