Chapter Thirty-Six: She's Just a Pawn

After Mu Beimo entered the imperial study, he knelt down and saluted, and without waiting for Mu Yicheng to let him get up, he directly explained his intentions: "Father, my son has an important report about the front line. ”

Mu Yicheng frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Get up and sit down and talk slowly." ”

"When Konoha went on the expedition, Erchen sent two wolf guards to accompany him, and one of them came back from the front line this morning, and after hearing what he said, Erchen knew that this matter was very important, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately brought him to see his father." Mu Beimo didn't sit down after getting up, and explained to Mu Yicheng respectfully.

Mu Yicheng didn't react, and Wolf Wu secretly glanced at Mu Beimo, who nodded imperceptibly.

So the wolf five knelt more and more straight, and talked about the events after Danchen recaptured the Winter Pass, one by one.

After Wolf Wu finished speaking, Mu Yicheng still had no expression on his face, and only said lightly: "Wolf Wu is hard, go back and rest." ”

The king's order has been given, and the wolf five did not dare to delay, and after saluting Mu Yicheng's father and son, he withdrew from the imperial study.

Mu Beimo's heart sank, and he had a strong sense of foreboding.

"Mo'er, you did this abruptly." Mu Yicheng's tone was still flat, but there was a lot of dissatisfaction with Mu Beimo.

Mu Beimo immediately knelt down: "The son is confused, I don't know what I did wrong, please ask my father to give advice." ”

Mu Yicheng on the throne didn't speak, only flexed his index finger and tapped the table, and the unhurried sound of "tu, tu" forced Mu Beimo's nerves.

With such an attitude, Mu Ye guessed correctly, and sure enough, Mu Yicheng wanted her to die.

The percussion stopped suddenly, and the silence it brought quickly filled the entire study, making it breathless.

However, Mu Yicheng soon lost interest in continuing to remain silent, he didn't want to push Mu Beimo too much, after all, Mu Beimo was his only heir, and he was good enough.

Maybe it's so good that Mu Yicheng has to beat his ambitious son.

"Konoha is a pawn, but she's restless, so I want to trade her death for something more useful. Do you understand? ”

Mu Beimo spoke with difficulty, and wanted to try to persuade his father: "Father, Ah Ye is your daughter after all, and she is the royal sister of her son, she ······"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Yicheng: "You should know as well as me, how Konoha was recognized, and you should know her identity as well as me." ”

This is the first time Mu Yicheng has proposed Konoha's identity, although when he was dripping blood to recognize his relatives, Mu Beimo saw Guwu move in the water, he knew that his father didn't care about Konoha's identity, nor did he care about the position of county lord who was sealed out at will.

After all, even when I gave Konoha a name, I just randomly named the word "leaf", although it was because it was "just like the leaf that returns to the roots", but falling leaves are never a good image.

It's just that Mu Beimo didn't know, it turned out that his father had always known that Konoha was not actually a royal bloodline, so the original favor was just a play.

Mu Beimo thought of Konoha's beastly intuition again, she knew the calculations in these favors from the beginning, but it was him, Mu Yicheng's own son, and thought that Mu Yicheng's preference for Konoha had a little sincerity.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Mu Yicheng wanted to kill Konoha.

When I recognized her back, I wanted her to work for Xiling,

But Mu Yicheng, like him, soon discovered that Konoha was not a person who would be obedient and be manipulated at will.

For a king, the most important thing for a chess piece is not to be useful, but to be obedient.

Disobedient chess pieces are the biggest change on the chessboard, and they need to be removed as soon as possible.

He knew that he couldn't find reinforcements for Konoha from his father, or more clearly, his father completely cut off the possibility of him doing anything to help Konoha.

But if Mu Beimo helped Mu Ye, it was against Mu Yicheng's intentions.

Although he is Mu Yicheng's only son, Mu Yicheng may not have a way to clean him up.

"The son was stupid, and after listening to his father, he realized that this matter was not considered by the son. Now, Erchen knows what to do. ”

After hearing this, Mu Yicheng asked meaningfully: "Are you serious, do you know what to do?" ”

"Mo'er," Mu Yicheng continued, "I want to kill Konoha for half the reason it's for you. ”

This sentence was inexplicable, but Mu Beimo was shocked, and looked up at Mu Yicheng: "Father, ······"

Mu Yicheng also looked straight at Mu Beimo, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through his heart through his emerald eyes.

"Think about it yourself, since she came to Xiling, what thing have you done that has nothing to do with her?" Mu Yicheng said very slowly, "You shouldn't be chained by anyone like this, you can't have weakness." ”

The words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into Mu Beimo's eardrums, shaking him dizzy.

Weakness? Is Konoha his weakness?

"Erchen didn't." Mu Beimo couldn't even find a reason, so he could only reply with four dry words.

Mu Yicheng didn't continue to ask, and his tone returned to his previous kindness: "It's the best, it's okay if you lie." Either way, Konoha is bound to die. ”

Mu Beimo was in a trance and accompanied Mu Yi to have breakfast, and then went to the morning dynasty. But he kept his composure on his face, and he didn't call Mu Yicheng or anyone else, and he could see the slightest thought in his heart.

After returning to the East Palace, Mu Beimo sat in front of his bookcase, thinking about it in his heart.

He had never trusted Konoha so much in his ability as he did now, if she could save herself, recover the three levels, and come back safely. In the future, he can still slowly plot for her.

Mu Beimo suddenly thought that if he hadn't proposed to his father to welcome Konoha, if he hadn't designed to force Konoha back, she wouldn't have fallen into such a difficult situation now.

She can still be her deputy commander in the Lieyue Army, and she can also be the arrogant and wanton Miss Gu Jiajiu under the protection of Gu Yunlie.

Thinking of this, Mu Beimo's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and it hurt suddenly.

Mu Beimo felt that this emotion was strong and inexplicable, and his father's "weakness" sounded in his ears again, and he shook his head, wanting to throw this troublesome emotion out of his mind.

"Yo, what's wrong with Your Highness, you're troubled again?" Only Yin Kang dared to speak to Mu Beimo in such a tone in the East Palace.

Yin Kang carried a purple clay pot of azure mud in his hand, took a sip at the spout, and walked to the opposite side of Mu Beimo and sat down.

Seeing Mu Beimo grinding in the inkstone with an ink strip in his hand, Yin Kang sniffed deeply a few times, but he didn't smell which jar of wine he used today. There was too much wine in the inkstone, and Yin Kang's nose couldn't tell it apart.

He had long given up persuading His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get rid of this strange habit that he had recently developed. simply turned a blind eye: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Mu Beimo almost blurted out: "Konoha." ”

After the words were spoken, Mu Beimo and Yin Kang were stunned.

Yin Kang couldn't stand this embarrassing scene, and took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Wolf Wu came back earlier than His Highness, and the old man inquired with him. Seeing His Highness like this, could it be that the king refused to send troops to rescue the county lord? ”

"My father wanted her to die, and warned Gu not to interfere." Mu Beimo has nothing to hide from this old retainer, "Now, I can only wait for her news." ”

The news that Mu Beimo was waiting for, Yao Hongzhi already knew last night.

The secret letter was sent by Han Lin, along with the urgent battle report. When the fake war report was in the last court, it was read by Gu Wu to the courtiers. The real military situation is only known to Yao Hongzhi and Yao Mao.

After reading the letter, Yao Hongzhi summoned Yao Mao to his study, dismissed the servants, and the father and son sat around the bookcase, with sticky rice wine hot on the stove.

Yao Lin couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning on the bed, tossing and turning the good mattress into a mess.

I really couldn't sleep, Yao Lin simply sat up, the silence of the night can make people calm down quickly.

No one bothered, and there was nothing else to disturb Yao Lin, and her thoughts quickly drifted to Konoha who was thousands of miles away.

Thinking of Konoha, Yao Lin suddenly remembered that Konoha had taught her how to sneak.

This thought was like a spark that ignited Yao Lin's restless heart.

She thought that she didn't have a cup of tea, so she decided to run to her father's study.

In the whole house, it is naturally the most exciting and interesting to go to Daddy's study, even if it is discovered, it is a big deal to give Daddy a coquette, and there will be no punishment.

Yao Lin has always been a person who does what she says, so she immediately got out of bed and picked out dark clothes to change into.

Because she was afraid that she would freeze, Yao Lin also wore a few thick clothes under the black clothes.

Yao Lin carefully recalled how Konoha had taught her, quietly clinging to the wall, trying to hide herself in the shadows.

Yao Hongzhi was going to discuss important matters with Yao Mao tonight, so after asking the housekeeper to prepare the things needed, he asked everyone to retreat, and no one was allowed to wait outside the study.

So Yao Lin's infiltration operation was very smooth, she didn't know the inside story, she only felt that she was quite talented, and she didn't even let anyone find out.

Yao Lin's original plan was to push open the door of the study and go in directly, and after seeing her father's surprised expression, she proudly bragged about how good she was.

But just as she was about to reach out and push the door, a voice from the study grabbed her attention.

The voices of the people in the study were muffled, Yao Lin couldn't hear it clearly, but she clearly heard Sister Aye's name.

Yao Lin changed her mind, tiptoed around the window, put her fingers in her mouth to wet them, quietly twisted a hole in the window paper, and listened carefully by the small hole.

"Father, Han Lin said that the Muye soldiers were trapped in Tanglong Valley and had been captured alive by Su Muyu. And Han Lin checked it carefully, and Konoha really brought the forged token with him. Such conclusive evidence was enough for Su Muyu to convict Gu Yunlie. In return, he will kill Konoha for us. ”

Yao Lin recognized it as Yao Mao's voice. Although there are many things in this sentence that she doesn't understand, she knows that it is closely related to Konoha's life.

Yao Lin straightened her ears and listened to how her father was going to reply.

"Very good, send the message back and tell Han Lin that the rest doesn't matter, it's just that Konoha is scheming, she must ensure that she dies in the Nanwan army, and she must see the corpse with her own eyes!"

Yao Lin outside the window felt a chill rising from her heart, how could Daddy want to kill Sister Ah Ye? He obviously likes her very much to go and play with Sister Aye.

Because Sister Aye got in the way of her father? Yao Lin knew that her father was in a high position and it was normal to have political enemies, and she also knew some of her father's methods.

But she can't allow this to happen, Sister Aye must not die.

However, if her father wanted to kill Konoha, who could Yao Lin ask for help?
