Chapter 174 Compromise and Game
This confidant guard was personally arranged by Mu Cunyi, who was specifically responsible for receiving Dongfang Changkong's. He was also told that once Dongfang Changkong came, there was no need to report it.
At that time, it was naturally to deepen the connection with the Eastern family so as not to waste time if something happened.
Who knew that the Dongfang family could not wait to get a knife behind their backs? Now Mu Cunyi couldn't even refuse to see her.
The murderous gaze moved away from the confidant guard. Mu Cunyi, with the help of Mu Zichen, stared coldly at Dongfang Changkong. "Second Elder, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Dongfang Changkong smiled unchanged, obviously he came prepared, "I am here to explain today. As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than formed. Zhuo Mufeng vowed to guard Jinghua Sandao to the death. If we attacked him forcibly, we could win, but it greatly increased internal friction, which would only greatly damage the strength of the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty and be detrimental to the country."
After a pause, he continued, "Fortunately, my elder brother went to the danger alone and went to Jinghua City alone to negotiate with Zhuo Mufeng. The two sides have now agreed and are willing to turn war into jade and form an alliance. I want to congratulate the prince here, and successfully subdued a rebel leader and restore the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner."
After hearing the other party's words, Mu Cunyi laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes, only the resentment as a knife, and there were signs of vomiting blood in her chest ups and downs, saying word by word, "Zhuo Mufeng has a wolf's ambition and ulterior motives. You oriental families are in a trap with tigers, aren't you afraid of being eaten by tigers in the future?"
Dongfang Changkong narrowed his eyes, "Thank you for the Eighth Prince's reminder, but the elder has his own concerns about this matter and no outsiders need to worry about it."
At this moment, Mu Cunyi calmed down a little. The old thief from Dongfang suddenly formed an alliance with Zhuo Mufeng, undoubtedly to deal with him, but he was not so urgent before, proving that something must have happened in the middle.
With Mu Cunyi's mind, he passed everything over and knew immediately what the problem was. Dark Night Pavilion! It must be the old thief in Dongfang who inferred the existence of Dark Night Pavilion from the information he gave, so he misunderstood that he reached a cooperation with Dark Night Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Mu Cunyi endured the fishy sweetness that surged from his throat and said anxiously, "Second Elder, you misunderstood me. I am sincere to the Eastern Family and have no intention of harming me. Please report to the Great Elder, I want to see him personally and explain everything!"
Dongfang Changkong looked up and down at him, shook his head and said, "See, the prince is weak and weak, so it is better to pay more attention to his health and take good care of himself. Today, I came here to receive a letter from the Great Elder, hoping that the prince would immediately order the front-line troops to retreat, and we will not attack our own people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
My own people? Mu Cunyi was so angry that he almost broke his heart and his eyes were blood red. He opened his mouth and shouted, "For this battle, I have worked hard to allocate food and grass from all over the country, and even increased taxes and scraped the ground three feet. How many people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty died because of it? In order to eliminate the rebels of the country, I am carrying a terrifying insult and under great pressure. Seeing that success is about to happen, you will let me withdraw my army? Don't think about it!"
Originally, Dongfang Changkong saw Mu Cunyi so miserable and still had some pity, but when he heard this, his old face suddenly sank.
As the spokesperson of the Oriental Family, Dongfang Changkong no matters what he is for the country and the people or the hunger of thousands of miles. He only cares about the interests of the Oriental Family.
To say something heart-wrenching, the more Mu Cunyi made the angry and resentful people and the betrayal of his relatives, the more he was happy to see it. He heard this and said coldly, "Eighth Prince, I have no reason to kill each other in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In short, my Eastern Family has stopped attacking the Jinghua Sandao. If the court and the five major military governors still insist on their own, it is to stand opposite to my Eastern Family. My Eastern Family is not afraid of a war, but the consequences are to be clear."
Mu Cunyi's pupils shrank violently. If this is the case, then the situation he finally created would immediately fall apart.
Not to mention that the Eastern Family and the Three Dao of Jinghua are already in trouble after they are united. Once they reach that point, the other five major military governors have followed the court because of their interests, and they may not have a second intention at that time. If Fang Zhaonan in the north takes advantage of the situation, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos in an instant!
Mu Cunyi's body shook for a few times, and her face turned red and white.
Just as Dongfang Changkong was sneering secretly, he suddenly felt a figure flashing in front of him, and one hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up. His hand gradually tightened, making Dongfang Changkong almost suffocated, but he was weak all over and could not even struggle.
"Rebellious thief, you dare to be the superiors and threaten me with the Mu Dynasty. Who will give you the courage?" But Mu Zichen rose from his heart and suppressed Dongfang Changkong, the peak of Xingqiao Realm, with one move.
Dongfang Changkong couldn't breathe, and his legs kicked in the air. He was about to be strangled to death. Mu Cunyi's weak voice came from behind, "Uncle Emperor, let him go."
Mu Zichen had no intention of paying attention until he heard Mu Cunyi's next sentence, "Uncle Emperor, this is my nephew's order!"
Thinking that this nephew had always had an idea, Mu Zichen finally held back his murderous aura and threw Dongfang Changkong to the ground, who coughed violently.
Mu Cunyi looked at Dongfang Changkong, who was standing up in a purplish face and stood up from the ground in a mess. His expression had returned to calm, but his face turned pale, "Second Elder, I want to see the Great Elder."
Dongfang Changkong's momentum was much more restrained. While rubbing his neck, he replied, "The Great Elder has specially advised him that if the prince wants to see him, he will have a chance in the future, so there is no need to rush to this time."
As soon as these words were expressed, it undoubtedly showed Dongfang Changsheng's determination to marry, but wasn't it a kind of contempt for Mu Cunyi? He was a dignified prince, even begging for a chance to meet.
Mu Cunyi laughed bitterly and explained, "I have never cooperated with the Dark Night Pavilion, and I have not even contacted me. Fang Zhaonan and Northern Qi are in vain. I am not that stupid, how dare I lead a wolf into the house?"
Dongfang Changkong's eyes flashed, "I will tell the elder."
But I knew in my heart that no matter whether Mu Cunyi’s words were true or not, it was no longer important at this point. What’s important is that the marriage has been completed, and the next plan will be launched. The big brother’s goal has always been the prince who vomited blood in front of me. Who taught me that I am too weak!
Dongfang Changkong did not dare to see Mu Zichen, and he gritted the bullet and emphasized, "I hope the prince will not waste time and immediately issue a retreat order to the front line, otherwise it will be bad for anyone. In fact, everyone has taken advantage of this time, at least the territory he captured does not have to be returned to Zhuo Mufeng."
After saying that, he bowed his hand and immediately turned around and left. When he left the study, a layer of cold sweat had already emerged from his back and he secretly called out a lucky call.
In the study room, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
As the confidant guard who led the way retreated tremblingly, Mu Zichen looked at Mu Cunyi and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you stop me from taking action just now? That kind of person should be killed!"
Mu Cunyi sat back on the stool, leaned against the back of the chair, and raised her head, "Although Dongfang Changkong is hateful, he has a different identity after all. If he kills him, it will be unfavorable to the situation."
Mu Zichen laughed anxiously, "The situation, do you know why I don't like people like you? I think too much about everything and restrain too much. Sooner or later, I will be suffocated to death by myself. Your great enemy, Zhuo Mufeng, is not like you at all. Even the Northern Qi emperors kill him as soon as possible, and he is much more straightforward than you!"
These words made Mu Cunyi stunned and couldn't help but think, if it were Zhuo Mufeng today, I was afraid that Dongfang Changkong would not even dare to say sarcastic words? He faced himself without any scruples.
He suddenly felt an urge to chase Dongfang Changkong, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again. Zhuo Mufeng was just a reckless man after all, how could he be the same as him?
Close his eyes, Mu Cunyi began to issue an order to Minghua who was waiting on the side, "Immediately mobilize the Jinyu Guards to block the major industries of the Oriental Family in the Imperial City. Relevant personnel should be arrested and imprisoned, and beheaded in three days. Those who plead for mercy will be driven away. If they dare to have a second time, they will be sentenced to beheaded!"
Minghua and Mu Zichen looked at each other. Didn’t they still have to endure the situation just now? They turned around and started to attack the industry of the Oriental Family?
Mu Cunyi was too lazy to explain. Whether to do or not is the second priority when it comes to the game at this level is the standard. If he suffers a big loss this time and does not even have any reaction, he will be despised by Dongfang Changsheng.
"Second, impeach the officials of the Oriental Family, who are under the fifth rank, no matter what method you use or what crimes you take, you will be imprisoned and imprisoned within half a month. Third, investigate all the forces in the world and outside the imperial city. If you have any involvement with the Oriental Family, you will be wiped out without leaving any living..."
As Mu Cunyi's orders were issued, Minghua felt cold sweat and his feet were cold.
The prince wanted to take this incident to extinguish most of the deployment of the Oriental Family in the Imperial City in one fell swoop. From the officialdom to the market, to the world, the number of people involved, the wide range, and the large range are enough to stir up bloody storms in the Imperial City!
It's really going to be completed. Even if the power of the Oriental Family stayed at the top of the imperial city is still there, you have no shrimp soldiers and crab generals below. What else can you do? Rub your arms and go into battle yourself?
This move will definitely damage the layout of the Dongfang family in the imperial city, thus causing the prince to escape from the shackles and show his strength. But accordingly, it will also cause an extremely fierce rebound from the Dongfang family. In his opinion, it is better to kill Dongfang Changkong to vent his anger.
To be honest, Minghua admired the prince's reaction and methods very much, but he still felt that doing so was too risky and too radical.
Perhaps because Minghua was in charge of this matter, Mu Cunyi explained in particular, "Don't worry, this is the struggle between me and Dongfang Changsheng. As long as it does not exceed the bottom line and does not affect the overall situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, everyone will rely on their own abilities. This time, Dongfang Changsheng broke the rules first, and he will make concessions. I didn't think about pulling out his bottom line at once."
Minghua suddenly realized that the prince said it was scary, but when the order was truly implemented, it was afraid that it would not be so straightforward. In the end, it would be necessary to negotiate and confront the Oriental Family to gain the best interests.
I saw the prince's face gloomy and sitting on the chair without moving. Finally, he tightened his chin and took a piece of clean rice paper, picked up the brush and wrote a few words. He picked up the seal and covered it hard. The sound was so loud that it seemed like he was about to smash the seal.
Minghua hurriedly took the rice paper he threw, and only glanced at it, he realized that it was the order sent to the front line by the prince. He quickly lowered his head, and after getting the prince's approval, he hurriedly walked away.
When I arrived at the door of the room, Mu Cunyi's indifferent voice came from behind, "I don't want to see him again when I help Dongfang Changkong lead the way."
Chapter completed!
