“...... There is a man like a flower that has fallen and has no roots to live...... Damn it!"

After these words came out of Wu Zhe's mouth, Dugu Mo and Elder Leopard were silent for a moment.

After a while, Dugu Mo said a person's name in a deep voice: "Wu Xuan!"

Leopard Lao was suspicious: "Prince Xuan, is the emperor hinting that we should kill him?"

If it is said that a glamorous flower will die, then it is better to understand killing a woman. But Emperor Xuanwu naturally wouldn't have any killing intent towards women such as Zhou Zhiruo or Pomegranate, but he was afraid that he didn't know about them.

"I couldn't think of anyone else for a while. Dugu Mo turned to Wu Zhe: "I'm right?"

Wu Zhe said with a smile: "The son is smart, and he can guess it." ”

"Sure enough, it was him. Dugu Mo asked in a low voice: "Could it be that this is the emperor's test for me?"

Wu Zhe noticed that Dugu Mo rarely called Emperor Xuanwu as his father, and most of them were called emperors or directly called Emperor Xuanwu.

"Indeed, I think the eldest prince and other princes may have experienced this kind of test. It's just that your test is estimated to be the most serious, and it is the focus of Emperor Xuanwu. Wu Zhe tidied up the peony flowers, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, I was confused for a while, how did I think that Emperor Xuanwu would send bamboo? Although the bamboo is very clear about the meaning of [pawn], it is too easy for outsiders to guess his intentions." ”

Leopard Lao hurriedly asked Wu Zhe to explain.

It turned out that Emperor Xuanwu loved face and never felt sorry for his son, so when Prince Xuan ordered the destruction of 30,000 cavalry, he deliberately gave up this son.

Especially when specific information came, it turned out that the 30,000 elite horsemen were all mistaken by a woman, and Prince Xuan was completely miscalculated by the beauty trick. At this moment, compared to Dugumo's defeat, Prince Xuan is completely unforgivable.

Emperor Xuanwu was very taboo about the problem of heroes being sad about the beauty pass, and although Dugu Mo had an advantage, he was defeated. However, the Xuanwu Emperor did not disagree with the strategy he adopted, and even felt that the midday sneak attack was a good strategy.

It's just that the opponent Dugu Mo faced was too terrifying, according to the inside report, it was Xiao Ruoyao who discovered the surprise attack in advance, and hurriedly prepared the anti-surprise attack in about two teas.

Even if the opportunity to retreat to Jindu was missed, it was Dugumo's mistake. But the key is that Xiao Ruoyao's trick of deceitful claims to seize the city is excellent. Emperor Xuanwu pondered it and felt that even if he was present, he was afraid that he would think that the Jin capital had been lost in a short time.

After all, the contest on the battlefield is not as simple as placing chess pieces, and it is difficult for both sides to know how many troops the other side has. It is also very likely that a strange army raided the capital of Jin.

Coupled with Xiao Ruoyao's domineering ability of the Xuanwu female generals, she was able to exert the power of the Xuanwu soldiers to an appalling level, and it was understandable that the two armies were defeated in the confrontation, and some of the troops, especially their own female generals, were not damaged. Therefore, the loss of Dugumo's Jin capital can be accepted by Emperor Xuanwu.

And Prince Xuan, who fell for the beauty scheme, did not have a head-to-head confrontation and lost the Chu female general and 30,000 elite horsemen. What is the concept of 30,000 cavalry? The military cost is no less than 300,000 infantry! Coupled with the two Moon Rank Sages who were injured and killed, the loss of Cheng Dù was much greater than that of Dugu Mo, and even the people were captured by the Jin State.

With such a huge loss, even the huge national strength of the military country must consider temporarily stopping the military action of reunification and hegemony. turned into the emperor to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu did not hesitate to abolish Prince Xuan's status as a commoner. On the face, he refused to redeem him. Of course, Lu Lao, who injured his arm, still had to be redeemed as a monarch. Even if his combat strength has been greatly damaged, in order to reassure all the masters and show the country's attitude towards the soldiers, it is inevitable to spend millions of silver taels.

This one in and one out, it is strange that Emperor Xuanwu is angry and doesn't want to kill Prince Xuan.

"Understood, right?" Wu Zhe explained in a conclusive manner.

Dugu Mo and Leopard Boss feel that it makes sense. In particular, the leopard elder let out a long breath: "I thought before. The master's fault is not less than Prince Xuan's, and it turned out to be relatively light. ”

Dugu Mo also nodded: "I didn't expect Miss Zhou to be able to analyze the whole thing so thoughtfully." ”

"My dead ghost father didn't train me for 16 years in vain. Many teachers invited a lot, and I read a lot of all kinds of books. In addition, if you stay at home, you naturally think more than others. Wu Zhe sighed.

Leopard Lao remembered that Wu Zhe's entire family was killed. hurriedly comforted: "The master of the Zonghengquan family is dead, and your great revenge can be avenged." ”

Wu Zhe said with a cold expression: "He has locked me up for sixteen years, and he doesn't have much family affection. In his eyes, I'm just a commodity. ”

Dugu Mo said: "How is Miss Zhou a commodity? ”

"Hmph, my mother said that when a man wants to take advantage of you, he will talk sweetly to you. Wu Zhe shook his head and didn't accept Dugu Mo's sycophants at all.

Dugu Mo was not angry, and turned to it: "Miss Zhou, do I want to follow the hint of the emperor's order and kill Wu Xuan?"

"Even if Emperor Xuanwu doesn't say it, you will kill Wu Xuan. Wu Zhe said: "Don't you think that when he comes back, his remnants will still rely on you wholeheartedly?"

"......" Dugumo was silent.

"The second girl of the Chu family heard that she had a marriage contract with Prince Xuan, although she has not yet been openly engaged, but thinking that the female general of Chu was indeed invited to help Prince Xuan enter the Jin Kingdom, it is estimated that this rumor is true. Wu Zhe instigated: "Don't you think that Childe still thinks that he is a hindrance?"

Dugu Mo walked around the room with his hands behind his back before sighing: "Alas—that's it." ”

In fact, he didn't have the slightest psychological burden to kill Prince Xuan, but he was worried that if he agreed too quickly, it would be easy for Zhou Zhiruo to feel that he seemed to have no feelings, so he pretended to hesitate slightly.

Leopard Lao said: "Since we want to kill Wu Xuan, we can't reveal our identities, and it's best to invite other good players when we do it." ”

"No, you don't. Wu Zhe smiled: "You only need to go over and say a word, and give him one more thing, Wu Xuan will naturally commit suicide."

"Is it so convenient?" the leopard asked anxiously, "What words?"

"Since the emperor asked us to help him, and he refused to leave the handle, then at least he had to do a little help. Take this pot and replace it with a bamboo. Wu Zhe pointed to the royal symbol on the flower pot and said: "But remember to take this flower pot back, replant it back to the peony flowers, and don't drop the handle when the time comes." ”

"Good. The leopard elder nodded and said that he remembered it in his heart: "Bamboo is a pawn." And it only blooms once and dies, guaranteeing that Prince Xuan will think that Emperor Xuanwu wants him to commit suicide. ”

"That's right, one more sentence is that Prince Mo will not treat his family badly. That's enough for him to leave with peace of mind, right?"

"Enough. Dugu Mo nodded heavily beside him: "The so-called death will also die on the land of Wuguo, he will commit suicide soon after stepping on the border of Wuguo." ”

It is conceivable that Prince Xuan, who has been imprisoned in Qi for a long time, must have suffered all the ridicule and white eyes, even his own self-blame and psychological pressure are about to drive him crazy. As long as he is not allowed to see the slightest hope, he will inevitably kill himself.

"Oh, by the way, after Wu Xuan commits suicide, the Chu family will naturally know that this is the day to visit you. Wu Zhe clapped his hands: "Old Leopard, it's best for you to find another opportunity to hint at them and let the second lady go to the Chrysanthemum Wild to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Go to the chrysanthemum field to enjoy the flowers?"

"Hehe, chrysanthemums are a tribute to the deceased, even if she goes to admire the chrysanthemums, it is understandable. Wu Zhe's eyes rolled: "When the time comes, it's time for our prince to meet the second lady of the Chu family [by chance]." For example, stop a startled horse to save the girl or something, no, no, it's best to lose yourself after the second lady falls into the water, cough cough, wet rescue...... To create a reason for the relationship, presumably the Chu family is also willing to cooperate. ”

"I see, when Wu Xuan dies, the contact between the two families will be difficult for others to criticize. If there is such a plot, it is even more impeccable. The old leopard was pleasantly surprised: "The old man admires Miss Zhou's clever calculations!"

Wu Zhe said modestly: "Hehe, it's okay." I haven't done any work on Childe's side.,This girl is also very embarrassed.,Feel free to come up with some small ideas as an apology to compensate.。 ”

Although Dugu Mo wants to kill his half-brother, he is in a good mood when he looks forward to the future, and praises: "In the future, Miss Zhou will enjoy the monthly money treatment in the mansion, which is equivalent to the old leopard!"

The leopard elder also said: "The old man has no objection!"

After making such a slight arrangement, Pomegranate also bought back the peony flowers in a hurry: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you see that I bought this pot of flowers? ”

"You deserve a lot of praise for your work. Dugu Mo said perfunctorily.

This is not a compliment, but it made the pomegranate secretly happy for a long time, and then looked at Wu Zhe's gaze, showing that you are lazy and the prince can't look down on it at all.

Wu Zhe was speechless, so he didn't see it.

Two days later, Wu Xuan, who had been redeemed from Qi State, returned to Wu State.

Dugu Mo, instigated by several good civil and military ministers, went to the border to meet him.

But just when he was close to Wu Xuan's post station, the news of Wu Xuan's suicide came.

According to the source, Wu Xuan committed suicide by hitting his head against a rock shortly after setting foot on the border with Wu State. And before committing suicide, he thanked Prince Mo for his brotherhood.

"Brother-" Dugu Mo listened to the warning, fell off his horse with a sigh, and staggered to the post station on foot.

"Prince Mo's affection can be seen. Everyone sighed in unison that Dugu Mo was so brotherly and righteous, and he was so sad.

After some sadness, Dugu Mo arranged for someone to bury Wu Xuan.

Due to the seizure of the title, although the coffin was luxurious, it could not be buried in the imperial tomb.

Dugu Mo personally led Wu Xuan's son and sent him to the coffin for burial three days later.

The people in the market were full of praise for Prince Mo's righteous deeds.

"It's time to enjoy the flowers. Wu Zhe was lazy in bed and muttered casually.

No one would have imagined that the mastermind of Prince Mo's rise would be a sixteen-year-old girl who was lying in bed every day. (To be continued......)
