Chapter Forty-Eight: The First Strike is the Strongest
Mu Beimo was curious, since he arrived at Dudongguan, he had been thinking about how to ask for his father's forgiveness, but he had no clue. In this short period of time, how could Konoha say with such certainty that she had thought of a countermeasure?
"Ah Ye quickly say, what are your plans?"
After Konoha was entangled for a moment, he still said his true thoughts: "Since my father is determined to force me to death, and he refuses to forgive Brother Wang easily, it is better for us to strike first, and Ah Ye will help Brother Wang ascend the throne." โ
Her voice was still weak, but what she could say startled Mu Beimo.
Mu Beimo has always known his ambitions, and he has always worked hard to make his abilities enough to realize his ambitions. He doesn't think he's a soft-hearted person, but he really hasn't thought of it these days.
Mu Yicheng is not only a father, but also a gentleman, the method proposed by Konoha is not only a great crime, let alone realization, even thinking about it is a great crime.
"What does Ah Ye mean to force the palace?" Mu Beimo's voice involuntarily cooled down.
Konoha was not frightened by his seriousness, and his tone was relaxed: "It's okay for Brother Wang to say this, since ancient times, people who have become big things are not informal, and Brother Wang is not like a person who is obsessed with etiquette." โ
Seeing that Mu Beimo didn't speak, Mu Ye stretched out his hand and pulled him closer: "I know what Brother Wang is worried about: if you want to achieve hegemony, Brother Wang must have a good reputation of benevolence, but I don't need to, I can bear the charge of forcing the king to seize the throne alone." โ
"Ah Ye, you ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Mu Beimo sighed, "Why do you take yourself so lightly? โ
Seeing that Mu Ye still wanted to persuade herself, Mu Beimo took her hand and squeezed it gently: "Don't persuade me again, I have to think about it." โ
Konoha was not in a hurry, she knew that Mu Beimo would figure it out sooner or later, this was the best path they could choose.
So she just sat quietly and let Mu Beimo hold her hand.
Just when there was silence in the room, Yin Kang's voice came from outside the door, and only he dared to come to Mu Beimo at this time.
"Your Highness, Wolf Er has brought people back, do you want to see him?"
Mu Beimo didn't reply, but it was Konoha who motioned for him to let go of himself: "Which one is the second wolf?" I don't seem to have seen it by Brother Wang's side. โ
Mu Beimo was willing to change the topic at this time: "Wolf Er was sent by me to Huangchuan to train troops, so you don't know him." โ
Yin Kang heard the sound of talking in the room outside, but His Highness didn't call him in, he was anxious, so he simply shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness, can you see it?" Give the old minister a quasi-word! โ
Konoha saw Mu Beimo's hesitation: "Brother Wang doesn't have to think about me, I'm okay now." โ
"Tell him to wait in the council hall," Mu Beimo ordered Yin Kang, and before Yin Kang could reply, he added, "Call the three of them, the five wolves, the seven wolves, and the three of them." โ
Yin Kang didn't know what was worth bringing these people, but he didn't dare to ask Mu Beimo clearly, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran to call someone.
Don't look at Yin Kang's age, his legs and feet are neat, and when Mu Beimo and Mu Ye came to the council hall, the three wolf guards and Mu Yun were already waiting.
Mu Beimo saw Yin Kang hiding behind the main seat at a glance: "Comber doesn't need to hide, just come out and listen." โ
After finishing speaking, there was no movement for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Konoha chuckled and said, "Comber, the corners of your clothes are leaking outside, and Brother Wang will see it as soon as he comes in." โ
Yin Kang slowly crawled out from behind the main seat, stretched out his hand to dust off his body, and deliberately pretended to be surprised: "Oh, when did Your Highness and the county lord come?" , Lao Chen went in and picked up something, I didn't know that the two of you were here, but don't be surprised. โ
was disturbed by Yin Kang like this, and the faces of everyone in the hall were no longer so serious.
After Mu Beimo and Konoha sat down together, they asked the others to sit down and talk.
Wolf Er was shocked to see Konoha sitting calmly beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, while the others in the hall obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Except for Yin Kang's old and unscrupulous one, and Mu Yun's faceless face, his two brothers actually look accustomed to it, and the second wolf can't imagine how with his Royal Highness's temperament, how can he be so good to this Konoha county lord, and he doesn't even care about such arrogance.
"Wolf Er, how is Nan Wanjun?" When the second wolf was overturning the river and the sea in his heart, Mu Beimo opened his mouth to ask him.
Wolf Er reacted suddenly, and left his seat and knelt down: "Back to Your Highness, the Nanwan army was defeated, and fled all the way back to Taiding Pass, and the last general has already taken back all the lost three passes." โ
"Well done." Mu Beimo praised.
"Your Highness praises falsely, and the last general will be terrified." Wolf Er said respectfully, "Then next, how does Your Highness think we should deal with the Nanwan Army?" โ
Mu Beimo didn't answer him directly, but turned his head to ask Mu Ye's opinion: "What does Ah Ye think?" If you want to take revenge, the current Nanwan army is unstable, and it is the best time. โ
The surprise that had just been suppressed in the heart of the second wolf surged again, Konoha was framed by Nan Wan's military envoys, how could he not hate Nan Wan, and it was absolutely impossible to give up this perfect opportunity at the moment.
But the longer this private army fights and the richer the achievements it makes, the more difficult it will be for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain to the king.
His Royal Highness is very smart, it is impossible to think of it, but listening to his tone, he actually wants to support Konoha and avenge her.
Mu Ye knew in her heart that she didn't give Mu Beimo an answer right away, but carefully calculated it in her heart.
If they really want to force the palace, then they shouldn't attract Mu Yicheng's attention, and they shouldn't have a bad relationship with Nan Wan.
Mu Ye understands the truth that if you want to go outside and you must first be inside, but if she really wants to let Su Muyu go so easily, she is unwilling.
Mu Yun saw that Mu Ye was silent, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, such a good opportunity, naturally he should not let go of Nan Wan's people.
But before he could speak, the wolf seven beside him knew what he was going to say, and punched him in the waist, signaling him not to talk too much.
Konoha closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress his anger. When she opened her eyes again, there was already a faint redness in her eyes, but her tone was calm: "The master general of Taiding Pass has been bought by us." โ
Mu Beimo understood what she meant, but still asked one more question: "What does Ah Ye mean, Li Ying and Wai will take down the Nanwan army?" โ
"No," Konoha denied, "I mean, since Lord Taiding Guan will be our man, then there is no need to rush revenge, this time, let Su Muyu go for the time being." โ
This opinion was expected by Mu Beimo, but the few people in the audience were stunned.
When the second wolf was still shocked, Mu Yun was already in a hurry to stand up: "County Lord! โ
He wanted to ask the county lord how he could let go of such a good opportunity, Su Muyu is the prince, let him go this time, I don't know when he will be able to see him again on the battlefield, and revenge is even more distant.
But after standing up, Mu Yun hesitated again. In terms of hatred for Nan Wanjun, the county lord naturally hates Su Muyu the most, and what he can think of, how could the county lord not think of it? When the county lord executed Han Lin and other traitors, his methods were far more ruthless than usual, which showed that the county lord hated these people very much in his heart, and naturally he would not let Nan Wan go easily.
Then when the county lord said this, there must be other deep meanings, but he was stupid and couldn't figure it out.
After Yi Mu Yun finished shouting, he stood in place in a daze.
Konoha knew what Mu Yun was thinking: "Everything has a priority, and I can't let personal feuds get in the way." Mu Yunwolf and five wolves and seven have also suffered great grievances this time, you can bear with it for the time being, the coming day will be long, and you are not afraid of the time when there is no revenge. โ
Mu Yun's eyes were red, and the five wolves and seven wolves were also moved, Konoha was the worst victim of Su Muyu, but she still remembered to appease the emotions of the three of them at this time.
Wolf Er was also greatly touched when he heard this, but he was more relieved. Then he thought that even if they didn't go to Nanwan, it would be difficult to guarantee that after the withdrawal of the army, Nanwan's people would not continue to come back.
He expressed his worries, and after Mu Beimo heard this, his brows gradually furrowed.
Konoha didn't care: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I have a plan to ask Nanwan to withdraw his troops." โ
"The county lord is going to say, don't sell it." Yin Kang, who had been listening for a long time, finally found an opportunity to interject.
Looking at the few people below looking at him expectantly, Konoha turned his head to look at Mu Beimo again, and saw that although his face was the same, there was also a lot of curiosity in his eyes.
Konoha smiled: "Su Muyu is greedy for life and afraid of death, and his biological mother is quite favored by Emperor Jianzhao. As long as Brother Wang asks your people in Lidu to send a letter to Concubine Shen and let her know that Xi Lingjun wants her precious son's life, then the matter of retiring from the army can be handed over to the master of the Shen family, and he will have a way to persuade Emperor Jianzhao. โ
Mu Beimo's eyes lit up: "Ah Ye has a good plan, just do what you say, Wolf Wu will go to deliver a message to the people of Lidu." โ
Wolf Five was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Konoha .
"This matter is not urgent, what is more important now is how to explain to my father."
Although Konoha said something to stop Wolf Five, it was Mu Beimo who was watching.
Everyone in the hall was terrified, not to mention Wolf Wei and Yin Kang, even Mu Yun, after listening to Wolf Qi's explanation these days, also understood how dangerous it was for Mu Beimo to send private soldiers to save Konoha.
Mu Beimo didn't think that Konoha was forcing him, and after a moment of shock, he figured out what Konoha said was indeed the best way.
Forcing the palace is not a big deal, the royal family has no relatives, not only Mu Yicheng wants to force Konoha to death, but also beats him with all kinds of suspicions.
He doesn't have much emotion for Mu Yicheng either.
If this can be done, why should he be afraid of how the historian will write, and how can the merits he wants to make be overshadowed by such a trivial matter.
"I've thought about it, so I'll do what Ah Ye said." Mu Beimo didn't look at the others, and only spoke to Konoha.
Konoha knew that he would definitely make such a choice, and he was not surprised: "Brother Wang has 20,000 private soldiers, and Danchen still has 7,000, there are many people, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to Shengjing in a few days." โ
"Du Zheng, the commander of the forbidden army, has always been good friends with the East Palace." Mu Beimo suddenly said this.
The other people were confused when they heard the words of the two, but Konoha understood what Mu Beimo meant almost instantly: "The leader of the forbidden army is our people, so this matter is not difficult to do." โ
