Chapter Ninety-One: Ruthless Calculations, Civil Strife in the Hidden Pavilion
Murong Ling Che nodded slightly, rubbing the dragon head ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and his thin lips opened lightly, "It's been eight years, Ling Yunqi has recuperated, and it's time to reappear in the world." ”
Ling Er bowed slightly, and then said, "Ling Yun Cavalry has increased from 30,000 soldiers and horses to 100,000 troops, scattered all over the country, no one knows their true identity in the past eight years, military discipline is as strict as ever, training has never been wasted, compared to eight years ago, more brave and good at fighting, thanks to Ling Xiao's leadership." ”
"Ling Xiao has indeed lived up to the expectations of this king, and when the Three Kingdoms retreat, let him come to see this king."
"Yes." Ling Er replied in a low voice, but he couldn't hide his joy in words, the three major guards of the palace and their nine dark guards were about to reunite again.
Back then, Murong Ling Che, the Purple Feather God of War, had three major guards by his side, namely Ling Xuan, Ling Feng and Ling Xiao, and together with the little-known Nine Dark Guards, they protected King Ling's safety.
Eight years ago, Ling Xiao was appointed as the commander of the Lingyun Cavalry, and disappeared at the same time as the invincible and victorious Lingyun Cavalry, causing a great sensation among the five countries, and no one knew their whereabouts.
"What has Yan Su done in recent days?"
Murong Lingche knew that Yan Su had gradually taken control of the Ziling Dynasty and began to move the motive of rebellion to the surface, and he was very much looking forward to the open and secret battle between Yan Su and Murong Jinglan's nephew.
For a long time, Yan Su has never treated him as a nephew, and like the Queen Mother, there is only Murong Jinglan in his eyes, and now it seems that in the whirlpool of power, there is really no family affection.
I can't help but feel sorry for Murong Jinglan, and my uncle, who has always loved him, is just a coy gesture.
"There is news from the secret guard that the prime minister has arrived at the border a few days ago, and he is secretly in close contact with the Luoxi royal family, and he is afraid that he may be suspected of collaborating with the enemy." In any case, Yan Su was also Murong Lingche's uncle, and they never called him by his first name.
The soldiers and horses of the Ziling Kingdom were in the hands of Murong Lingche, Xiao Yan, Xiao Luoyu and Yan Su, and they were stationed on the border adjacent to the Jingge Kingdom, the Water Kingdom, the Cangyun Kingdom, and the Luoxi Kingdom.
"After all, I still embarked on the road of betraying the country."
Murong Ling Che sighed slightly, even if he had a great ** for that position, he couldn't do anything that would damage the national body.
Although Murong Jinglan is ruthless, he will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, which is also the biggest difference between Murong Jinglan and Yan Su.
However, even if he cooperates with Luo Xiguo, can he guarantee that Shun will be able to sit in the position of Ziling Emperor?
Choosing the opportunity for the other three kingdoms to besiege the Purple Feather Kingdom, and when both sides are defeated, he will reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is too good for wishful thinking.
The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he had an idea in his heart.
Previously, Yu'er asked Yu to suppress the prime minister's party, which changed the economic pattern in the imperial city, and Murong Jinglan had a tendency to lead the fire to Yan Su, so this time it was better to give him a big gift.
"Tell the secret guard to collect evidence of the prime minister and all his henchmen collaborating with the enemy and treason, and secretly hand it over to the lieutenant, so that he can expose the prime minister's crimes in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the early dynasty, and Murong Jinglan will definitely wipe out the prime minister's party and the whole party."
"Subordinates obey."
Perched in the Temple.
After Princess Manluo returned to the dormitory from Yilanxuan, she began to lose her temper, her eyes were spewing fire, she knocked all the jewelry on the dresser to the ground, and raised the vase on the table with both hands and smashed it to the ground.
In the end, he even picked up scissors and walked to the bed, stared at the pillow on the bed fiercely, and then grabbed the pillow and cut it to pieces, and the feathers in it flew all over the room.
In her anger, she imagined the pillow as Xiangyu's ugly and hateful face, and no matter how she cut it, she couldn't vent the anger in her heart.
"Who is this messing with our little princess Manro?"
Mu Yaru's delicate and soft voice came from behind her, and when she heard this, she stopped her movements, got up and walked towards her quickly, grabbed her arm and said hatefully, "Concubine Ru, you are right, Xiangyu is a cheap hoof." ”
Thinking of Chu Muchen's gaze at her, she couldn't help gritting her teeth, her eyes were shining with a fierce light, how could she be a dignified princess compared to that ugly woman.
Hearing this, the corners of Mu Yaru's mouth slightly hooked up a smug smile, and then deliberately sighed lightly, "This palace knows your grievances, but now we can only break our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs, she has King Cangyunchen as a backer, and even the emperor has to treat her with three points of courtesy." ”
"But I'm not convinced, she looks ordinary and ordinary, not outstanding at all, why can she make Brother Chen love her so much, where is this princess not as good as her, why Brother Chen refuses to look at me squarely, and talks to me in that cold tone." As he spoke, he turned from resentment to sadness.
Mu Yaru raised the corners of her lips slightly, it seems that she did not make a mistake in this move, Princess Manluo is such an arrogant and domineering person, she regards Xiangyu as a thorn in her eye, and it is best to get rid of the big enemy in her eyes with her hand.
On the day of the banquet, she could see that Princess Manluo's eyes had been following Chu Muchen closely, and there was a faint sense of admiration, so she came up with this method, so that Princess Manluo successfully regarded Xiangyu as an enemy.
fanned the flames in Princess Manluo's ear, saying that Chu Muchen was extremely fond of Xiangyu, and Xiangyu looked like no salt, and could not be compared with her dignified princess at all, which successfully aroused her curiosity and jealousy, so she ran to Yilanxuan.
"She can beat the palace in public, isn't it just relying on the favor of King Chen? Even if the matter of this palace is over, I won't mention it, and now this palace is for the princess to fight for you, the princess is beautiful and beautiful, and there has never been a shortage of suitors around her, but she has fallen in front of the slut Xiangyu, if it is known, I am afraid that the princess will lose face. ”
Mu Yaru said sincerely, covering her face with Juan Pa from time to time to express her sadness, and successfully saw the more blazing flame in Princess Manluo's eyes, and the corners of Juan Pa's mouth slightly hooked up a trace of triumphant smile.
"Concubine Ru, you must have a lot of complaints about being beaten, why don't the two of us cooperate and teach that slut who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the sky."
"What is the princess going to do?"
A grim smile appeared on the corner of Princess Manluo's mouth, "If a woman loses her innocence, will Brother Chen still like her?" ”
Mu Yaru's heart was shocked when she heard this, faintly filled with pain, and her eyes also shone with a fierce light, those humiliations that had been suffered on her must be repaid by that slut ten times and a hundred times.
"The princess is so captivating and intelligent, His Royal Highness King Chen will definitely like the princess." Laughing and saying, there was a dark and uncertain love in her eyes, and Princess Manluo was also secretly proud when she heard this, Brother Chen would definitely be her in the end.
In the study room of the other courtyard, Ling Er was still chattering respectfully.
Murong Lingche lowered his head and rubbed the dragon head ring in his hand, and suddenly his thin lips opened lightly, "Come in." The voice was faint, without any emotion.
Ling Er was startled, looking in the direction of the door, he didn't feel the breath of someone approaching here, the prince had ordered, no one was allowed to approach the study, could it be that someone broke through the heavy guards outside and wanted to be unfavorable to the prince?
Thinking about it, the scabbard was already half drawn, and he looked at the door vigilantly, but at this moment he heard a female voice as crisp as a silver bell coming from outside, "It's really boring, you found out so quickly." ”
How is this voice a little familiar, just when he was wondering, the door had been pushed open, and a delicate figure walked in, with a playful smile on his face, but his face was extremely ordinary, Ling Er reacted at this time, isn't this the princess.
Immediately withdrew the sword, and respectfully bowed his hand towards Mu Zhiyu, "Princess." ”
Mu Zhiyu smiled at him and waved his hand, "No need to be polite." ”
Walked straight to Murong Lingche's side and said with a smile, "How did you find me?" ”
The corners of Murong Lingche's lips rose, he stretched out his arm and grabbed her wrist and dragged her to his lap, wrapped his hands around her waist, and his voice was extremely charming, "I already felt your breath when you entered the courtyard. ”
"Really? Brag. She didn't believe it, she pursed her lips, no matter how high his skill was, it was impossible to know that she was coming from such a distance.
Ling Er felt a little embarrassed when he stood aside, coughed lightly, and then said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, princess, your subordinates will go down first." As he spoke, he moved his steps and walked out.
Murong Ling Che didn't have any response, his eyes kept looking at Mu Zhiyu gently, Ling Er glanced at him, and he knew that the prince agreed to let him out, so he walked out boldly with confidence.
"Wait, Ling Er, don't go, I have something to ask you."
Mu Zhiyu stopped him at this time, Ling Er was stunned, and he had to turn around, but his eyes were embarrassed to look at the two people who were intimate, "What does the princess command?" ”
Murong Ling Che frowned slightly, looked at Mu Zhiyu and spit out lightly, "Yu'er, just ask me about something, Ling Er, you go down." ”
When Ling Er got the ****, the whole person became relaxed, and immediately turned around and flew towards the door again, but Mu Zhiyu stopped him again, secretly complaining, looking at the prince's face, he wished he would go out quickly, but the princess wanted him to be worried.
put away the bitter gourd face, and turned around a little indifferently, "I don't know what the princess has to ask her subordinates?" ”
"I'd like to know what progress has been made regarding your trip to the Hidden Pavilion."
Murong Lingche said a little helplessly, "Yu'er, you want to know that I can sue you." ”
"You didn't say it when I asked you yesterday, and now I don't want to hear you, you just sit here honestly now, don't intervene." He grimaced at him and motioned with his eyes not to speak.
Murong Lingche was speechless, shook his head and sighed lightly, laughed dumbly, obediently silent, his hands tightly wrapped around her waist, and adjusted his sitting posture to make her sit on her lap more comfortably.
Ling Er glanced at Murong Ling Che and found that he didn't say anything, so he understood that as soon as he heard what the princess said, he was relieved to tell what he had encountered in his party this time.
They crossed the snow-capped mountains in the far north, and reached the place where the Hidden Pavilion clan often haunted, fought with them many times, and found that their skills were indeed unfathomable, and later caught a disciple of the Hidden Pavilion, and finally let him speak, only to know why the Hidden Pavilion stipulated that the clansmen were not allowed to win the throne of the emperor, but there was a royal disciple, and he was still the emperor of a country.
It turned out that Qianfeng Haoye had been born by the national teacher since the day he was born, and he was born with the fate of the lone star, and the former Jing Ge Emperor sent him out of a small town outside the palace and handed him over to a peasant couple to raise.
When he was five years old, Qianfeng Haoye was told his identity, and he knew that he was actually the prince of Jing Ge, but he was expelled from the palace because of the sentence of the national teacher.
When he was eight years old, when he went up the mountain to chop wood, he accidentally met an elder of the Hidden Pavilion, who saw that he was quite proud at a young age, and his bones were amazed, and after learning that he was just an ordinary child of a farmer at the foot of the mountain, he decided to take him as an apprentice.
So, Qianfeng Hao said goodbye to his adoptive parents at night, and followed the elder to the Hidden Pavilion.
Ten years later, when Qianfeng Hao had learned a lot, he wanted to say goodbye to his master and go back to regain the one that belonged to him, and then he knew that the disciples of the Hidden Pavilion were not allowed to win the throne of the emperor, nor were they allowed to engage in politics.
When the Hidden Pavilion Master and all the elders learned that he was actually the Prince of Jing Ge, they wanted to expel him from the Hidden Pavilion and abolish what he had learned in the Hidden Pavilion.
Of course, Qianfeng Haoye was unwilling, so he secretly recruited some elders and disciples who yearned for power, stole the secret book of the Hidden Pavilion that could control people's minds, plotted against the pavilion master and the elders who opposed him, and imprisoned them, leaving some disciples to stay in the Hidden Pavilion, and took those elders who took refuge in him back to the Jingge Palace, and after regaining the throne, those who came back with him from the Hidden Pavilion all entered the court as officials.
"In other words, some of Jingge's courtiers are from the Hidden Pavilion?"
Mu Zhiyu finally understood, no wonder Qianfeng Haoye was so powerful, it turned out that what he had learned came from the Hidden Pavilion.
Ling Er nodded, "The prince has already sent some secret guards into the Hidden Pavilion, hoping to find the place where the Pavilion Master and those elders are imprisoned, only by rescuing them and dealing with Qianfeng Haoye can he have the best chance of winning, after all, the Hidden Pavilion is now in the hands of Qianfeng Haoye."
"I see, you can go down."
When Ling Er heard this, he immediately flew out as if he was a step too late, for fear that he would be left behind if he was one step too late, and he could see that the prince didn't want him to stay inside.
"There's nothing you can't sue me, why didn't you say it when I asked you yesterday?"
Mu Zhiyu turned his head and pinched Murong Lingche's face, pursed his lips, and said dissatisfiedly.
"When did I say I wouldn't sue you?"
Murong Lingche reached out and poked her forehead, and said funny, "You don't seem to have asked at all." ”
"Really? I didn't ask? No, I'm going to ask about it as soon as I see you. Her eyes turned twice, and her eyes widened suddenly, as if she really didn't ask.
What's going on, she has obviously been very concerned about this matter, and planned to ask him as soon as he comes back, but she remembered it, blamed him, and bullied her as soon as she came back, causing her to forget about it to death.
"You old goblin, it's not good to stay in Jingge, what kind of fun are you coming here to make a fuss."
"You dead fat man, why can't you come to my mother?"
"Ahem, the two Dharma protectors, the palace master ordered not to approach the study to disturb, and asked the two Dharma protectors to move elsewhere." Lan Ping's voice came from the courtyard, and there were two voices that Mu Zhiyu had never heard before.
"Didn't Ling Er already come out of the study? I came all the way from Jingge, and I have something important to report to the palace master, Lan Ping, you go and report it. ”
Female? Mu Zhiyu heard it very clearly, it was a woman who said this, raised her eyes to look at Murong Lingche, there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes, there was still a female protector in this Lingyu Palace?
