Chapter Thirty-Eight: Your Highness Thinks Twice
Mu Beimo knows Yao Lin's temperament and knows that she is completely different from Yao Hongzhi, Yao Lin has no scheming, what she says is what she thinks.
But this does not mean that Yao Lin is simply stupid, she is just clear-minded and unwilling to study the ruins in the court.
Yao Lin said resolutely, which made Mu Beimo very moved: "Lin'er understands righteousness, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about these things on the front line." โ
He sighed, thought for a moment and then smiled: "Leave this matter to me, you will get out of it, if your father asks in the future, you can just push it on me, and insist that you don't know anything." โ
"How does this work?" Yao Lin hurriedly retorted, "Doesn't this make the misunderstanding between my father and the prince's brother deeper?" โ
Mu Beimo knew what she was worried about, and comforted her: "Lin'er don't worry, I know that the Yao family has always been loyal, and this matter is that your father was confused for a while, and he will not change his loyalty." I just don't want you to be wronged, you just do what I say. โ
After getting Mu Beimo's personal promise, Yao Lin felt relaxed for a while, and pulled Mu Beimo's sleeve and asked, "Brother Prince, you will save Sister Ah Ye back, right?" โ
Yao Lin asked sincerely, and there was obvious sincerity and expectation in her eyes.
It's a pity that Mu Beimo can't give her a response, and now he doesn't know what to do.
I couldn't make up my mind, but seeing Yao Lin's eyes, Mu Beimo really couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only consider the words: "I can't guarantee this, but I will try my best to save her." โ
Yao Lin was not disappointed, she knew that this matter was difficult to do, and Mu Beimo's words were enough.
She did everything she could, and it was out of her control how things turned out.
Someone was knocking on the door of the study, and it was the head of the East Palace who came in with Yao Lin's maid.
The chief manager landed neatly on the Nanmu inlaid luodian cloud leg thin tooth table on the side, arranged the delicate snacks of various colors, and prepared Tingxi Lanxiang tea, and invited the prince and Yao Lin to serve on the table.
In front of her maid, Yao Lin pretended to be very good, just like when she usually got along with Mu Beimo, she didn't show any flaws, as if the conversation just now was just an illusion.
Yin Kang, who had been pretending not to exist next to him, looked at Miss Yao Er in the main seat with a strange expression, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that Miss Er was not disgusted that today's pastries were not delicious, but that she was giving herself a look.
Yin Kang blinked his eyes and quickly thought of an excuse: "Your Highness, the folds on your case have been piled up for a few days, and you have to finish saying everything today, don't forget it." โ
Mu Beimo pretended to frown: "Kang Bo, you are so blind, Lin'er is so easy to come over, what are you doing to disturb the scenery?" โ
Yao Lin on the side hurriedly excused Yin Kang: "Brother Prince, what Comber said is right, it was Lin'er who was ignorant and disturbed Brother Prince." โ
After that, he jumped off the sandalwood chair carved by the peony group and gave a blessing salute: "There is a lot of trouble today, and Lin'er will stay soon." โ
Mu Beimo didn't force it to stay: "There are a lot of things to do today, so I won't keep you, these pastries are what you love to eat, it's better to take them back to Yaofu and enjoy them slowly." โ
Yao Lin happily commanded the chief manager to carefully wrap all kinds of pastries, without the slightest displeasure on his face, happily said goodbye to Mu Beimo, and returned to Yao's mansion.
After sending Yao Lin away, the smile on Mu Beimo's face did not disappear, but gradually solidified and turned into a mask that had nothing to do with his mood.
Yin Kang came over and probed: "Your Highness, what are we going to do?" โ
Mu Beimo was silent, just waved his hand.
The five wolves didn't go far, and the wolves and the three wolves hid outside the room, and the three of them also listened to what Yao Lin said.
Hearing that Han Lin and Su Muyu colluded to betray Konoha to the Nanwan Army, Wolf Wu was simply ashamed to death.
It was he who firmly believed that Han Lin would not do anything to rebel and put Konoha in such a dangerous situation.
"What are you three doing in a daze? Come on in. Yin Kang came out of the study and shouted in the direction where the three people were hiding.
The three wolf guards hurriedly entered the study and gathered around Mu Beimo.
Wolf Yi was the first to speak: "It will take a few days for Han Lin's news to reach Yao Hongzhi, if the county lord is really captured by Nan Wan, I am afraid that it will already be ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
Wolf Wu's face was ugly: "The county lord has already made arrangements for the three levels such as Shunzhong Pass, and everything is going well until I leave, even if the county lord is captured, Shunzhong will be in chaos in a few days." If the county lord suffers, Su Muyu will definitely not be able to control the situation, so he should be able to delay for a while. โ
"What if you can delay for a while? We can't do anything right now. Yin Kang's tone was heavy, "The king is not allowed to send troops, and it will be useless to send only a few of you wolf guards." โ
This is right, although Mu Beimo is the prince, Mu Yicheng has warned him that he must not make any changes, otherwise he will violate his father's taboo.
The only one who can sneak there is the wolf guard. But there are 50,000 Nanwan troops in Shunzhong Pass, and Han Lin, who crossed the Winter Pass, is in cahoots with Yao Hongzhi, and has the heart to put Konoha to death, and a few wolf guards can't play a role at all.
But Konoha wrote a blood letter to Mu Beimo for help, she had been forced to a desperate situation, and no one else could save her.
Carefully calculated, Konoha was forced into such a situation, it should be said that it was Mu Beimo's reason.
It was Mu Beimo, after she reminded her, she still couldn't find out that Han Lin and Yao Hongzhi were in private contact, and they also secretly colluded with Nan Wan.
It was Mu Beimo, who knew that there was aristocratic power among her subordinates, but she still forced her to take only 10,000 people to the battle.
Pushing it forward, it was still Mu Beimo, pulling her into Xiling's treacherous court.
If it weren't for Mu Beimo's desire for Konoha to be used for herself, she would not have been regarded by Yao Hong as a thorn in the flesh, and she must be eliminated as soon as possible.
But it was also her own choice, and she accepted Mu Beimo's advice and gladly took these crises as her own opportunity.
So one opportunity leads to another, just as a crisis begets more crisis, life begets more life, and death begets more death.
In a sense, this is fate.
Mu Beimo closed his eyes and listened to the quarrel of several people, and knocked on the table impatiently, and the quarrel disappeared in an instant.
"It's not that there's nothing you can do, and those 20,000 people."
Yin Kang was the first to react: "Your Highness, Your Highness means, those 20,000 people? โ
"Or else?" Mu Beimo asked him rhetorically.
"Your Highness think twice!" As soon as the wolf reacted, he immediately knelt down.
Wolf San knelt down, seeing that Wolf Five was still a little hesitant, Wolf Three reached out and pulled the corner of Wolf Five's clothes twice.
Wolf Wu knelt down and asked with Wolf San: "Your Highness think twice!" โ
Seeing that Mu Beimo didn't pay attention to the three wolf guards who were kneeling, Yin Kang had no choice but to persuade again: "Your Highness, those 20,000 people were trained by you after four or five years of hard work, in order not to let the king, Yao Hongzhi and others know, how much effort you have spent." Do you really want to let all these years of hard work go to waste for the sake of a Konoha ? โ
Mu Beimo was slightly moved: "Comber is right, but Konoha ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Yin Kang took his master's words and continued to persuade: "Your Highness, no matter how important Konoha is, after all, she is just a chess piece of yours, and besides, she is not so easy to use and obedient, no matter how you count it, it is not as good as our 20,000 troops." What's more, this matter is not something that we can solve by sending people out. โ
"Elder Kang is right," Wolf Yi echoed, "If you really use 20,000 people, how should Your Highness explain to the king?" โ
Wolf San took over the conversation: "Your Highness thinks again, how can these 20,000 people transition to the winter pass?" Han Lin couldn't receive the king's order, and he would definitely not let him go. Even if we pass the Winter Pass, there are 50,000 Nanwan troops in Shunzhong Pass, of which 30,000 are still the Lieyue Army, and even if our people can win, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, the grain and grass for the troops can only be used by ourselves, and the loss in this matter is too great. โ
Mu Beimo listened to the reasons stated by the three of them, and did not reply, but simply ordered the silent Wolf Five: "Wolf Five, you have been with Konoha for a few days, what do you think of her?" โ
This sentence made Wolf Wu feel pressured, he had been following Mu Beimo's side, and naturally knew how much effort Mu Beimo had put in for these 20,000 private soldiers, if he really wanted to use 20,000 people at this time, it would mean that all these years of hard work would be in vain, and he would be burned and cause a lot of trouble.
But as Mu Beimo said, he has been by Konoha for these days, and he has a lot of admiration in his heart, and he completely sees the excellent ability of Konoha to lead the troops in his eyes and in his heart, knowing that his Royal Highness knows people, if Konoha can really be used by his Royal Highness completely, she alone is far more useful than 20,000 private troops.
The problem is that Mu Beimo wants to use his own private army to save Konoha, which is a desperate choice, and there is not much hope of saving Konoha back. And if you fail, the price to pay is too great.
Mu Beimo saw that Wolf Wu didn't answer directly, and he wasn't in a hurry to ask for an answer, so he waited patiently for Wolf Wu to think about it himself.
"Your Highness, if you only rely on selfishness, the last general admires the county lord very much, and I also hope that the county lord can be safe. But for the sake of the overall situation, although the Lord of Konoha is useful to us, the price of saving her is too high, and I ask Your Highness to think twice and not make a decision lightly. When Wolf Wu said this, he felt a lot of guilt, but he still firmly persuaded Mu Beimo to think carefully.
Mu Beimo knew that these four people were his confidants, and he also considered himself when he did things and spoke, but when he heard them persuade him to give up Konoha, he was very unhappy.
Ever since he met Konoha on the battlefield, Mu Beimo often thought of her.
At the beginning, the design forced her to return to Xiling, but she simply felt that she was capable and could be used by Xiling.
But as they got along for a long time, the deeper they got to know Konoha, the more amazing Mu Beimo felt. Konoha is such a person, making people feel that she is unpredictable, and at the same time, people can't help but fall for her talent.
Mu Beimo originally thought that he only regarded Konoha as a chess piece, but he gradually appreciated her skills and temperament, so he wanted to take her under his command and be his right-hand man.
At the end of the day, Konoha is still seen as a pawn.
But now, Mu Beimo couldn't figure out his thoughts, if he only regarded Konoha as a pawn, according to his temperament, he shouldn't have heard that she was so worried after being captured.
shouldn't remember everything related to her clearly, Mu Beimo remembered that the last time he sent an envoy to Nanwan, Su Muyu ridiculed Mu Ye to his face. Thinking that Konoha was now in the hands of Su Muyu, Mu Beimo was even more anxious.
He even hoped that Konoha's trust in Gu Yunlie was genuine, and Gu Yunlie would protect Konoha from Su Muyu's men.
But Gu Yunlie and Su Muyu were not on good terms, even if Gu Yunlie really had such a plan, he would not be able to protect himself, so how could he protect Konoha?
"What you said makes sense," Mu Beimo finally made up his mind, "but I've thought about it, if you want to accomplish a great cause, you must have Konoha to help." Even if the price paid is huge, Lone has to save her. โ
