Chapter 46: Treachery
Feng Yi stayed in place for a long time, and the slight fragrance of Mo'er also dissipated with the wind, completely melting in the moonlight. He looked at the distant sea, the undulating waves like mountains in the dark night, endless.
He stood until the fish belly was white, then sighed and returned to the house to rest.
On the second day, the second marquis diligently brought breakfast and sent it to the door of Yingsleeve, and only came to find Feng Yi after she finished eating, and said with a wicked smile: "Young master, you went out last night?"
Feng Yi's face did not change, and said with a smile: "No." ”
"No?" The second marquis looked at Feng Yi suspiciously, and said, "Young master, you are still stained with dew and have not dried, obviously you have been outside all night. And with your cultivation, how could you be soaked with dew, I think the young master must have indulged in selflessness last night and couldn't take care of anything. ”
Feng Yi was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it, and said: "Hurry up and go to the Chongguang Palace, and today I will form an alliance with the Gumu clan to discuss the withdrawal of troops." ”
"Hey, young master, don't worry, tell me what you did last night?"
One of them was noisy, the other was silent, and Yingsleeve followed with a smile. The three of them walked through the peach orchard in the valley and came to the Chongguang Hall in the eyes of the Gumu clansmen.
Before entering, Feng Yi had already seen that most of the high-level officials of the Gumu clan had gathered in the hall, and it seemed that they were also extremely excited about Feng Yi's arrival. And although the patriarch has not yet spoken, they all already know that the two clans of Gumu and Daxia are about to form an alliance, which are the two strongest forces in the Great Wilderness today except for the Han Kingdom, Beidi, and Jiuli, and the impact of such an alliance on the Great Wilderness may be decisive.
At this moment, in the Chongguang Palace, the patriarch Yu Mo, the old patriarch Yao Yusi, and the elder Long Chuan sat at the front, and the younger generation such as Bohu and Zhongxiong were divided into left and right, and a considerable number of them were familiar with Feng Yi, and everyone nodded one after another, although Feng Yi is now the young master of Great Xia, but everyone still regards him as a person from the clan.
Feng Yi stepped forward and saluted: "Old Patriarch, Second Elder, Feng Yi is here!"
Yao Yusi and Long Jian smiled and nodded, just let him get up, but didn't say much, after all, the patriarch of Gumu now is Yu Mo, everything is decided by her, unless she encounters some difficult things, Yu Mo will come to consult the two of them.
Feng Yi looked at the beautiful girl with a cold face in the center again, and said, "Mo'er!"
Yu Mo said lightly: "Come on, sit down for the young master of Great Xia!" In the stunned eyes of everyone, several teenagers pushed out three seats and sat down for Feng Yi, the second marquis, and Yingsleeve. Bohu, Zhong Xiong and the others whispered, with some surprise on their faces. Only the second marquis on the side had a smile on his face, looking at the lords of the two clans with interest, as if he was watching a good show.
Feng Yi said helplessly: "Mo'er, I came this time to form an alliance sincerely. Moreover, the five thousand elites of Great Xia are already on the way, and we will definitely be able to repel the Han Kingdom if we work together. ”
"Alliance? I don't remember that I promised this kind of thing, did the young master of Great Xia make a mistake?" Yu Mo said coldly, causing Yao Yusi, who was sitting next to her, to smile bitterly. Since his abdication, he has seen that his daughter seems to have lost her laughter, and there is no expression on her face all day long, and she has put all her energy on the affairs of the clan zhong. And he had to admit that his daughter was more suitable for the position of patriarch than himself. It's just that sometimes Yao Yusi feels that she can't stand her, such a flower-like age is like an iceberg.
And at this moment, he saw that Mo'er suddenly became a girl again, although her tone was still cold, but it obviously had a hint of a little daughter's demeanor, and her resentment was more like being coquettish and venting her anger. It seems that the only person who can touch his daughter's heart is Feng Yi, the young man back then, and now the young master of Daxia.
It's a pity...... Yao Yusi shook his head, not thinking about it so much. There are some things that he can't decide.
Feng Yi secretly smiled bitterly, and could only say: "Mo'er, then I propose today as the young master of Great Xia that the two clans form an alliance to fight against the Han Kingdom, I don't know what you think?" After speaking, he didn't respond at all, and even Ying Sleeve was secretly displeased, I don't know why this Gu Mu patriarch wants to treat Feng Yi like this? She is simple-minded and extremely puzzled, didn't the second marquis say, what kind of old friends are the two of them? How do you look at it like this, it looks like enemies.
"What is the benefit of forming an alliance for my Gumu clan?" Yu Mo suddenly said after a while.
"In the Great Wilderness of Kyushu, the Han Kingdom occupies seven of them, but they know that their rule is becoming more and more unstable, and they begin to conquer the south and the north, trying to suppress the Great Wilderness by force again. And Daxia and Gumu were the first to bear the brunt, a few months ago, the Han Kingdom failed to attack Daxia, and they had no choice but to retreat. Now that they are marching into Dongyi, I am afraid that their ultimate goal is the Gumu tribe. Feng Yi suppressed his emotions and said Kan Kan.
"Hmph, I'm afraid the young master of Great Xia doesn't know, right? After my Gumu clan is a saint, there is an ancient great array to protect it, even if there are thousands of troops and horses in his cold country, what are we afraid of?" Yu Mo said slowly.
At this moment, everyone could hear that Yu Mo was obviously dissatisfied with Feng Yi, and there was resentment in his words. This is quite inconsistent with her usual calm and decisive majesty, almost like an angry little girl.
After a while, Bohu couldn't help it and said, "Patriarch, it has been several months since the Han country's army arrived in Dongyi, and the hundreds of tribes in Dongyi have fallen. Even if they don't know where we are for the time being, I'm afraid that in a few days, it will be exposed. ”
Yu Mo frowned when she heard this, suddenly turned her head, and said coldly: "Bohu, how much does my Gumu clan have a large army?"
Bohu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant, but he was now a general of Gumu and was fully responsible for the war, so he subconsciously said: "There are 40,000 troops in total!"
"If you fight against the Han Kingdom head-on, what are the chances of winning?" Yu Mo asked again.
When Bohu heard this, a sense of pride appeared on his face, he was deeply inherited by his father, Longjiang, he was a genius in marching and fighting, and there was also an elder of Longjiang behind him to teach swordsmanship, so the army under his command was all one in a hundred elites, and his swordsmanship cultivation was only stronger than Kunwu swordsman.
"Although the Han Kingdom claims to have 200,000, it is not so easy for them to break through our Yu Yuan Valley. Moreover, Junzi, Langya and other countries are still forming large armies, if the Han country dares to attack them, they will definitely be defeated by the enemy. Bohu said loudly, his voice fell, and many of the Gumu children in the palace were proud, thinking in their hearts, although Daxia had defeated the Han Kingdom, our Gumu clan would not be left behind.
"In that case, then why be afraid?" Yu Mo said coldly.
Bohu was stunned for a moment and said, "But ......" wanted to say something more, but looked at Yu Mo's eyes and couldn't speak.
"Young Lord of Great Xia, our Gumu clan respects the ancestral teachings and does not participate in the battles in the Great Wilderness. Moreover, the enemy has not yet invaded our people, but I have taken the initiative to attack and violate the way of the saints. Please forgive me for not agreeing to the alliance!" Yu Mo said coldly, and as soon as her voice fell, almost everyone in the hall, including Feng Yi and Bohu, was taken aback.
In fact, the matter between Feng Yi and Yu Mo has long been rumored in the clan, but because of the identity of the patriarch, no one dares to mention it in public. So everyone always thought that Yu Mo's previous attitude was just a rare little trick, after all, she was only twenty years old, and it was normal for her to behave like this when she saw her former lover.
But no one thought that she would really refuse to form an alliance? This is a plan that has been set a few years ago, but it has been delayed because of various things, and today the wind has finally arrived, and all the people of Gumu are actually very happy, looking forward to the two clans joining forces as soon as possible.
Elder Longjiang was surprised, "Mo'er, do you want to stop thinking about it?"
Yu Mo directly refused: "Second uncle, don't think about it." As the patriarch, I will naturally make the decision that is most beneficial to Gumu. ”
Even the identity of the elder of Longzhen was directly blocked, where did the others dare to persuade again? Looking at all the people in the hall at this moment, only the old patriarch Yao Yusi could say another word, but he understood his daughter's temperament, and to persuade at this moment was like adding fuel to the fire, I am afraid that even he would not be able to.
And the only thing that can change Mo'er's mind is no one else, only Feng Yi!
The wind was extremely difficult, and he didn't expect this, and he didn't know what to do for a while. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Mo'er, since you don't want to form an alliance, forget it." When everyone heard this, they were amazed, they didn't expect Feng Yi to give up so quickly?
After Feng Yi finished speaking, seeing that Yu Mo was expressionless, he immediately said to the second marquis: "Hou Ye, you go back!"
"Go back?" the second marquis was stunned for a moment, full of confusion.
"That's right! I was originally from the Gumu tribe, and now I can be regarded as a fallen leaf and returned to my roots. As for the young master of Great Xia, you can choose it separately. Feng Yi smiled.
When the second marquis heard this, he looked at Feng Yi's eyes, suddenly reacted, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will not be reluctant, and I will go back to tell the lord of the country and the clansmen one day." However, the living in this Yuyuan Valley is good, the food is good, the scenery is beautiful, I am a little happy, I don't know if the Yu Mo patriarch is willing to let me stay for a few more days. ”
Yu Mo said coldly: "Feel free." His eyes were fixed on Feng Yi, wanting to see what he wanted to do.
Feng Yi smiled slightly, and suddenly bowed down and bowed down: "In Xia Feng Yi, because of some things, I have left the clan for many years, and I ask the patriarch to punish him." ”
Yu Mo was stunned on the spot, she never thought that Feng Yi would come to this trick. With her determination and resourcefulness, she didn't even know how to deal with it.
Bohu, Zhongxiong and the others on the side laughed, hurriedly helped Feng Yi up, and said, "For so many years, we have been looking for you, but unfortunately there has been no news, and today you are finally back." ”
Feng Yi said again: "Patriarch, in order to atone for my sins, I am willing to accept any task. I heard that there has been a cold country Xiaoxiao who has invaded my territory recently, if the patriarch doesn't dislike it, he might as well send me there!"
