Chapter 691: A Contest at a Critical Moment
The autumn sun in Nanluo was still hot, Mu Jiu sat under the tree in front of the house and drank tea, and Lin Changsheng practiced not far away.
Sweat trickled down his honey-colored skin, sweat soaked his clothes, and he rolled up his sleeves, and the strong muscles of his forearms popped into her eyes.
Mu Jiu's eyes were full of starlight, adoring and affectionate.
As soon as he thought that such a perfect man belonged to him, Mu Jiu felt that his life was complete.
What if the road ahead is not easy? As long as the husband and wife work together, there will always be a day when they will calm down.
The sunshine, the wooden houses, the green trees, still and moving, the picture is so beautiful that it is unbearable to disturb.
But Yu Gui still couldn't help but speak, "Young master, the people in Xia Zhongmo have found out here." ”
"I see." Lin Changsheng retracted his movements, "Wait for me for a while." ”
After speaking, he went back to the house to change into a set of clean clothes, and when he came out again, Mu Jiu had already quickly packed up the tea set, and the two of them got on the horse hand in hand.
Mu Jiu was a little worried, "Changsheng, Xia Zhongmo can't find us, will he use our medicinal materials to vent his anger?" ”
Lin Changsheng grabbed the reins tightly, "No, he can't wait for the medicinal herbs to grow well, and if we can't come back, it will become his." ”
Mu Jiu thought about it, how could someone like Xia Zhongmo not take advantage of it?
"Changsheng, where are we going?"
"Back to the capital."
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Mu Jiu understands that being idle here for half a month is just a trick, but in fact, Mu Xuan and Xiaomi have been waiting in the capital for a long time.
"We're going to trouble the Star Luo Sect?"
"Hmm."
On horseback, Lin Changsheng didn't say much, but Mu Jiu understood what he was doing.
The Star Luo Sect and Xia Zhongmo have always been entrenched in the capital, and with the Royal Forest Army, they have no chance of winning in the capital.
But now it's different, Xia Zhongmo has discovered their traces, and for the sake of safety, he will definitely send a large number of troops and even people from the Xingluo faction to encircle and suppress them.
In this way, the defensive strength of the capital is the weakest time, and if the joint battle Wang Nan is completed, he will definitely be able to kill the Star Luo faction by surprise.
But when they arrived in the capital, Mu Jiu found that their target was not the Star Luo Sect, but the Imperial Palace.
In a small courtyard under Nan Jiancheng's name, Mu Jiu met Nan Jiancheng and Lao Li.
Nan Jiancheng has a lot of eyeliner in the capital, and the plan they proposed is to let Mu Jiu prepare some high-grade poisonous smoke, let the eyeliner be brought in, and wait for the eyeliner to guard the city's royal forest army to be poisoned, they quietly sneaked in and killed Nanluo Huang by surprise.
Mu Jiu always felt that this matter was inappropriate.
A group of people gathered around a table in the room, Mu Jiu was the only woman who could be on an equal footing with Nan Jiancheng so far, sitting next to Lin Changsheng, her dark eyes were dark, and she waited until everyone finished chattering and turned their eyes to her before she said leisurely, "This won't work." ”
"Why? Several times we have used poison on the battlefield, you have easily defused it, your poison skills are much higher than our poisoners, they must have no antidote. "Lao Li doesn't understand very well.
Lin Changsheng glanced at him lightly and motioned for Mu Jiu to continue.
Mu Jiu pretended not to see it and was silent, Nan Jiancheng had to speak in person, "You listen to Mrs. Lin!" ”
Lao Li shut up stupidly, unconvinced but had no choice.
Mu Jiu said, "Maybe no one can solve my poison, but there are many masters in Nanluo Kingdom, and they will definitely sense that something is wrong before the effect of the poisonous smoke is exerted, if they remind the Nanluo Emperor in advance, the Nanluo Emperor will definitely run away, and we will be very passive at that time." ”
Lao Li was still not convinced, "It's okay for our people to surround the palace." ”
Mu Jiu gave him a stupid look, and sat upright without speaking.
Nan Jiancheng reprimanded Lao Li, "Do you want to tell the world that this king forced the palace to rebel?" ”
Lao Li Xin said that it was originally, but he didn't dare to say it.
Lin Changsheng sighed, "Your Highness the Battle King, now do you know why you have repeatedly become my subordinate, and why you have been defeated?" ”
Nan Jiancheng's face was not good, "Mrs. Lin is right, you are really well-developed and simple-minded!" ”
Lao Li was unconvinced, "Your Highness, sometimes don't think about complicated things. ”
"Shut up!" Nan Jiancheng stopped Lao Li from continuing, "Listen to Mrs. Lin and General Lin!" ”
Originally, they were forced to resist by Emperor Nanluo and Xia Zhongmo, and they did it too blatantly, but let the people's hearts stand on the side of Emperor Nanluo, and even if they grabbed the throne at that time, the difficulty of stabilizing it would increase a lot.
It is more difficult to defend the country than to fight the country,
Nan Jiancheng obviously thought of this as well, and after being silent for a while, he looked at Mu Jiu, "What does Mrs. Lin have to say?" ”
If Mu Jiu told Lin Changsheng's plan, he would owe Mu Jiu a favor in the future than a favor owed to Lin Changsheng.
In Nan Jiancheng's eyes, Lin Changsheng was too thick-skinned, too cunning and too dark-bellied, and preferred to blackmail him.
"No, I listen to me."
Nan Jiancheng almost didn't choke to death, can you sprinkle dog food in a different place?
Slandering, I heard Mu Jiu say again, "I can only use medical skills and poison arts, and I am an expert in fighting and strategizing." ”
Seeing that Mu Jiu didn't fall into his trap, Nan Jiancheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to look at Lin Changsheng sincerely, "What does General Lin have in mind?" ”
Lin Changsheng said, "Gao Jian can't talk about it, but doesn't Emperor Nanluo believe in Xia Zhongmo?" If you have someone in the Imperial Forest Army, you can let him pretend to be Xia Zhongmo to force the palace, and then you can successfully take Xia Zhongmo in the name of Qingjun, it depends on whether you are ruthless enough. ”
Nan Jiancheng smiled bitterly, "You don't have to test me, since I chose to cooperate with you, I have no way out, either he dies or I live." ”
Everyone knows that what is not said is that Emperor Nanluo must die.
"I know, the people of the Royal Forest Army are arranged by yourself, and I will solve the matter of poisonous smoke with Neiko, of course, if you can't trust us, you can find someone else to do it."
The pants are all off, you let Lao Tzu find someone else? Nan Jiancheng was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't say it, "General Lin said with a smile, how could I not trust you?" ”
"That's done, always pay attention to the movements of Xia Zhongmo, it is impossible for him to leave the capital, and we will do it on the night when the Royal Forest Army army leaves the capital."
Lao Li wanted to say something, but was finally glared back by Nan Jiancheng, and he had to hold back his anger, and when he saw Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu away, he said to Nan Jiancheng angrily, "Your Highness, why do you believe them?" They are the most cunning people I've ever met! ”
"Since you know how cunning they are, you should know that few people can get benefits from them, but those who deal with them, as long as they don't cheat them, won't be cheated by them."
"But ......" Lao Li still wanted to persuade a few words, but was interrupted by Nan Jiancheng, "Lao Li, you have been by my side for many years, I know what you want to say, you can't do the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, you can consider it if you change it, but this couple is too evil, if you don't become enemies, try not to become enemies."
Moreover, if trade between the two countries resumes in the future, we can also send people to the Great Xia Kingdom to learn advanced planting techniques, and we can sell land to Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu, so that they can teach our people the techniques of cultivating medicinal herbs here, and then exchange the medicinal herbs for their grain.
In fact, Lin Changsheng is right, the benefits that can be exchanged for not having to fight, why do we have to work for the people and lose money, I couldn't figure it out before, I fought for many years, worked the people and lost money, and the people were miserable, after listening to Lin Changsheng's words, I suddenly realized that if I want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, I can not fight for a few years. ”
"I also hope that our country is better." Lao Li said, "I went because I was worried that Lin Changsheng would not be trustworthy......"
"Lao Li, they have all helped us to this point, how can he not be trustworthy?"
Lao Li had nothing to say, so he had to stand aside obediently.
Seeing this, Nan Jiancheng knocked on his subordinates again, "If everyone here today still recognizes me Nan Jiancheng, don't go to Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng for trouble, maybe with their help, our Nanluo Kingdom will usher in the first prosperous era." ”
Nan Jiancheng's subordinates didn't dare to speak, they didn't know if they could usher in a prosperous era, they only knew that if Nan Jiancheng could become the emperor, their identities would also rise with the tide.
After leaving Nanjian's residence, Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng began to make poisonous smoke in full swing.
The medicinal herbs manufactured were sent by Nan Jiancheng.
In the past few days, under the intentional guidance of Nan Jiancheng's people, the capital is full of people who support the war king, and they all feel that the Jin Yu king should be executed and the war king should be welcomed back.
At first, the people just whispered, not daring to put it on the table to say, but then it intensified, and some people took the lead, and some people walked to the door of the Jinyu Palace, threw stones inside, and yelled.
"Summer Desert get out of our Nanluo country!"
"King Jin Yu should be from our Nanluo country!"
"The ambition of the desert wolf in the middle of the summer is not good to die!"
At the beginning, the Golden Jade Mansion sent guards out to suppress it, but later there were more and more people, and the guards of the Golden Jade Palace clashed with the people, and more people joined in, impacting the cordon formed by the guards, and it was chaotic.
The time when the riot broke out was when the Imperial Forest Army and Xia Zhongmo's army went to a remote village to arrest Lin Changsheng.
Xia Zhongmo surrounded a large number of people in the Jinyu Palace, and his face was ugly.
Yuan Shi was stunned on the side, he hadn't seen his master's face so ugly for a long time, and it was even more ugly than when the Great Xia Kingdom was blocked and had to withdraw from the Great Xia Kingdom.
Qiu Feng was worried about Xia Zhongmo and said, "Lord Wang, you don't have to worry, when the Royal Forest Army comes back, we will be able to suppress them." ”
"You don't have to comfort me." Xia Zhongmo clenched his fists tightly, "I know what kind of temperament you two have, Qiu Feng, we have to leave quickly." ”
"Why?" Qiu Feng was puzzled, "This is the Jinyu Palace, and those people don't dare to come in."
"Do you think the people are so bold? It's clear that Lin Changsheng and the War King have cooperated, and we can't sit still here! ”
"So where are we going?" Qiu Feng became worried, "It's really not okay, Lord Wang, you go to the headquarters of the Star Luo Sect to avoid it, and you can leave it to me and Yuan Shi here." ”
"Let's go together." Xia Zhongmo behaved very affectionately, "You have followed me for many years, I have always regarded you as my own brothers, although I will be angry with you when I am short-tempered, but I really can't leave you." ”
Qiu Feng suddenly felt that with the master's words, even if he was ruthless, he was willing.
