Chapter 337 Shocking News (2)
The letter was not written by Zhou Yu. It was the notes of Duke Hua. No one knew what circumstances did Duke Hua have to send this letter to Zhou Yu, a minor official who had only been in the court for only half a year. The situation mentioned in the letter was really heartbreaking. Mo Jingqi promised to cede the land of the three states and eleven cities in the northwest to Xiling, and the condition was to eliminate the entire Mo family army through external cooperation with Xiling. The colleagues also participated in the action. Mo Jingli and Nanzhao Kingdom entrenched in the south. In other words, it is very likely that at this time... Nanzhao had already entered the Snow Pass.
"Mo Jingqi is crazy." Ye Li said softly. It may be possible to accumulate the power of the Three Kingdoms to deal with the Mo family army. But has Mo Jingqi ever thought that if the Mo family army is destroyed, Xiling and Nanzhao will really retreat as agreed? What is the difference between this and someone spitting out the meat that is eaten? Mo Xiuyao said in a deep voice: "He is indeed a madman. Ali, you seem to have married a husband who is always troubled." Ye Li smiled helplessly: "It's too late to know now."
Nanhou and others came back very quickly. When Zhuo Jing and Lin Han intercepted them, their group had just left the city gate. In just a quarter of an hour, they returned to the prefect's mansion again. Wang Jingchuan's face looked very ugly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what do you mean?" Nanhou also looked at Mo Xiuyao with a puzzled look on his face, but he also understood that Dingwang would not let someone stop them back for no reason. Mo Xiuyao stared at Wang Jingchuan with a cold expression and asked lightly: "Do you forget to tell me anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingchuan felt a chill in his heart. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the calm and indifferent King Ding now was even more terrifying than the King Ding who deliberately released his pressure just now. He smiled and said, "What does the prince mean? Please forgive Guan Yanyun."
Mo Xiuyao sneered, "What a dull person. I don't know that the emperor would send a dull person to the northwest. Since Lord Wang doesn't remember, I might as well remind Lord Wang. For example... the secret execution of Nan Hou secretly on the way back to Beijing. I guess Mr. Wang will not forget it? Hum?" Wang Jingchuan opened his eyes in shock. This secret order was received by the emperor in person just before he left the capital. It can be said that only the emperor knew about it in this world. After receiving the order, he rushed to the northwest with a quick whip. Wang Jingchuan really couldn't figure out how the spies from the Ding King's Mansion got such top-secret news even if they had the ability to do the heavens. After hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Nan Hou was stunned and then smiled bitterly. Nan Junfei, who was standing behind him, had his eyes burst. If it weren't for Lin Han, he would have rushed over and tore Wang Jingchuan.
Wang Jingchuan also knew that he had nowhere to escape when he fell into the hands of King Ding. He softened his body and knelt on the ground, "Prince forgives his crimes, and the minister is also following the order. Please forgive me."
Mo Xiuyao was too lazy to look at him again, and Ye Li waved his hand and said, "Take it down."
Wang Jingchuan was quickly dragged down by two guards. Ye Li then looked at Zhou Yu who was standing silently on the side and smiled: "Mr. Zhou, aren't you afraid?"
Zhou Yu looked calm and bowed, "I believe that the princess is not a random person to kill innocent people." Ye Li smiled faintly and nodded, "I have to thank Lord Zhou for this matter. It's just Lord Zhou's move... I'm afraid it's a little difficult to explain after returning to Beijing." The news of the transaction between the emperor and Xiling was sent by Duke Hua to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu thought the matter was added after he figured it out. Wang Jingchuan thought the news was secret, but he didn't know that Zhou Yu was following him.
A few days, only from his usual behavior and expression, he inferred the emperor's treatment of the Nanhou family. Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Last year, thanks to the princess' help, I was able to raise money in time to ask the doctor to diagnose my mother's illness. A few days ago, my mother died. I should have asked Ding You to keep mourning for her mother, but I was sent to follow Lord Wang to the northwest. It can be seen that it was a coincidence that I asked me to repay the princess's kindness. I am now alone and have no scruples."
Mo Xiuyao thoughtful and nodded and said, "Since that's the case, can Lord Zhou be willing to give up his fame and fortune and stay in the northwest for the time being?"
Zhou Yu was stunned. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to seek death. King Ding's move was obviously intended to protect himself. He looked at Ye Li who was sitting aside and smiling. Zhou Yu quickly made a decision, "Thank you, the prince, for taking it in."
"What should I do with the Nanhou and Lord Wang? What is the idea of the prince?" Ye Li asked with a smile.
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Ali must have already had an idea when she asked this."
Ye Li smiled, "It is a war in the northwest, and the people of Xiling are being abused everywhere. It is not surprising that Lord Wang and his party unfortunately encountered bandits or the entire Xiling soldiers were wiped out. What do you think?" Mo Xiuyao praised: "What Ali said is very true." Nan Hou stepped forward to thank him and said: "Thank you, the prince, the prince." Ye Li shook his head and said: "You must live in peace, but you will have to be wronged for some time. Nan Hou's Mansion..." Nan Hou smiled sadly and said: "Leave it to fate, I just hope that the emperor can let go of the whole family when he heard the news of my father and son's death."
Since the newly relocated Nanhou and his son, Lin Han took the order to arrange the scene of Wang Jingchuan and his party's death. Although Nanhou and Zhou Yu are fake, Wang Jingchuan is at least genuine. Lin Han is also a disguise expert trained by Ye Li himself, so naturally he will not leave any flaws on the scene. However, Nanhou and his son will inevitably have to hide their names in the short term. These things can only be considered small matters now. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao's attention is all on the secret letter sent by Duke Hua.
After receiving the news, even Feng Zhiyao, who was always careless, couldn't help but be angry. He jumped out of the chair and wanted to lead the troops back to the capital, but was stopped by Mo Xiuyao. Feng Zhiyao said with a calm face: "It has reached such a point. The prince still needs to protect Mo Jingqi? He also needs to protect Da Chu? He doesn't care about this country. What are the things we have to do with us?" Mo Xiuyao looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "I have never protected Mo Jingqi, and the Mo family army wants to protect Da Chu's thousands of miles of Da Chu. But... the people living on this land. Feng San, at this time, breaks with Mo Jingqi, and there is no need to worry about Xiling, Nanzhao, and Beirong. Da Chu will be full of war."
