Speaking of which, the two have nothing more to say.

Mu Tangzhi has been the king of Liao for more than 20 years, and he is no longer a young master, so he naturally has his own uniqueness, and he is not ignorant of the undercurrents surging under the three states in the northeast.

Last time, Qiu Yue personally wrote a handwritten letter to him, asking him to stop in time and shake hands with the imperial court.

After this incident, Buddhism did not do anything, Mu Tangzhi did not take it to heart, only when the old monks in Buddhism worshiped Buddha more, and wanted to erect a memorial arch of mercy, but did not expect that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, and now Xiao Jin was frustrated in the south of the Yangtze River, and was unable to capture the two Xiang, and then Lin Han fell into a dilemma because of the Molun Temple, and his situation was a little embarrassing.

However, at this time, Mu Tangzhi still didn't think that he would be defeated, but because of Xiao Jin and Lin Han's successive requests for help, his ambition was greater, and the capture of the Dragon King made him feel that Buddhism was still on his side, so he boasted about the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of Feng.

It's just that he never thought that Buddhism was secretly giving birth to many changes during this time, so that the entire Northeast situation was surging, and it was only at this time that he realized that the huge variable of Buddhism could completely affect the situation of the entire Northeast Three States, and even His Royal Highness the King of Liao, who was in charge of the Northeast Three States, was also the same.

As a result, he felt a lot of uneasiness and fear in his heart.

Mu Tangzhi came to participate in the Obon Festival this time, although he said it verbally lightly, but he was just to meet the abbot master of Buddhism, but in fact, his fundamental purpose was to come to see Qiuyue, and wanted to personally confirm the attitude of Qiuyue and Buddhism, but he failed to get what he wanted, and stopped in front of the abbot's room.

This is also the reason why Mu Tangzhi asked Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan if they went to see the abbot of Buddhism, because this road leads directly to the abbot's room, and he has just returned from the abbot's room.

At this moment, Mu Tang's face was not obvious, but the doubts and uneasiness in his heart were getting heavier and heavier, and even a trace of fear was born, so he said such a thing to Xu Beiyou.

Although Xu Beiyou did not explicitly agree, he nodded slightly, Mu Tang's heart was slightly settled, and at the same time, he inevitably laughed at himself in his heart.

At this point, there is no way out, there is no way out, there are the imperial court, there are Daomen, there are Xiao Jin and Lin Han, there are Buddhism that has always been regarded as the biggest backer of the Mu family, in addition, there is Mu Tang himself.

Mu Tangzhi blocked most of his retreat, because he was unwilling, the matter was not to the end, no one could say whether he would win or lose after the first line, not to mention that he Mu Tangzhi was unwilling to be a powerless vassal king for a lifetime, and would rather die vigorously and die on the battlefield as a vassal king, rather than steal his life, and then wagging his tail to Xiao Zhinan and begging for mercy.

This is also the reason why he took the initiative to talk to Xu Beiyou, but did not talk to Xiao Zhinan.

For some people, face, or dignity, is greater than heaven.

Unfortunately, Mu Tangzhi is such a person.

At this moment, Xiao Zhinan got up from the pavilion and walked towards this side.

This time, she took the initiative to say to Mu Tangzhi: "Mu Tangzhi, Xiao Bai is dead, do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

Mu Tangzhi smiled, and there was not the slightest gloomy on his face, "It's too early to say whether it's death or life." ”

Xiao Zhinan sighed softly, "You, like Xiao Bai, are both temperamental people who will not admit defeat to death. ”

One of Mu Tang laughed.

The two were already hostile at this time, and Xiao Zhinan didn't say anything more.

Mu Tangzhi tightened the black daze on his body, stepped on the snow, and walked in the direction of the temple step by step.

He's going down the mountain.

Go back to the Liao Palace.

When Mu Tangzhi's figure disappeared into the vast snow, Xiao Zhinan said quietly: "If you put aside your family and country, I don't have any hatred for him, since I was a child, he and Xiao Bai took me to play, although Xiao Bai was at odds with him, but I regarded him as half a brother, and now I don't want to see him in such a field." ”

Xu Beiyou held her hand and said softly: "It's strange that his surname is Mu and not Xiao, if his surname is Xiao, maybe there won't be so many incidents." ”

Xiao Zhinan smiled bitterly, "That's not necessarily, if he is also surnamed Xiao, he and Xiao Bai will have a lot of discord because of the throne, which is also not good, in the final analysis, it is because of this world and that position." ”

Xu Beiyou sighed lightly and stopped talking.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and in life, who can really do what he wants.

The head of the Dao Sect can't teach, and neither can the Great Qi Emperor.

On the other side, Mu Tangzhi walked alone in the ancestral courtyard of Buddhism, surrounded by snow.

No one knows, Qinggao is as conceited as Mu Tangzhi, and the person who really regards him as a confidant in this life is not the right-hand man Zha Qing, nor the pillow person, let alone Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou.

It was Xiao Bai who was already lying in the coffin.

A Great Qi Emperor who is destined not to have a good reputation in the annals of history.

If Daqi died in the hands of Xiao Zhinan, the history books may not regard a woman as the king of the dead country, then it can only be Xiao Bai.

Back then, in the imperial capital, Mu Tangzhi, as a foreigner, although he was a vassal king, he didn't have to worry about being bullied, but he didn't have any friends, and he had only Xiao Bai, a person of the same age, both of whom were extremely noble people, and men of the same age, so they often didn't give in to each other, played tricks, and even attacked each other in front of Xiao Xuan.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is the incompatibility of these two people's nature, and they are destined to be a pair of old enemies.

But only the two in the center know that it is not like that.

The two are naturally friends and foes, because people in high positions don't need friends, but as evenly matched opponents, they are sympathetic.

The one who knows you best will always be your enemy, this sentence is very true, so Mu Tangzhi's feelings for Xiao Bai are very complicated, love and hate.

When the news of Xiao Bai's death came, Mu Tang didn't know whether he was happy or sad, but he felt that there was one less person in the world who understood him.

Mu Tang's pace was extremely slow.

Every step was extremely deep, stepping on one deep footprint after another in the snow, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the imperial capital, his lips pursed.

"It's boring without you in this world. ”

In fact, he and Xiao Bai are the same kind of people.

Conceited and alone.

Just as Xiao Bai cast an immortal golden body at the beginning, knowing that it would be difficult to tolerate the way of heaven, Xiao Bai still did it, in a vain attempt to turn the tide and help the building to fall with his own strength.

is also like Mu Tangzhi at this time, knowing that Buddhism does not support him, but he is still unwilling to back down, and still wants to live to death, and seek a glimmer of life from the nine deaths.

Walking out of the mountain gate of the ancestral courtyard of Buddhism, Mu Tangzhi stopped, turned his head, stared deeply, and walked away.
