Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 44: Langya Bang 9

"Or the princess can comfort herself by saying that this is just Yu's personal opinion, and that he cannot provide any evidence at all. It is a lie to instigate you, Mu Nihuang, to rebel. But does the princess dare to gamble? Yu is free to come and go. He can sneak into the palace to kill Xiao Xuan and all the wealthy and powerful people in Jinling City who are doing nothing for free. He can also travel the world as a free and easy knight and satisfy his addiction of helping others when he sees injustice. But the lives and property of Prince Mu's mansion, as well as the 100,000 cavalrymen who may die at any time at their own hands, will not allow them to escape unscathed like Yu." Yu Xian saw that Mu Nihuang was still hesitating.

"But there are many heroes in the world, and my Prince Mu's Mansion has only 100,000 cavalry. What chance do we have of winning?" Mu Nihuang thought about the strength of Prince Mu's Mansion and couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic.

"Speaking of this, I have a question. The Prince Mu's Mansion defended the southern border and fought against the State of Chu. They should be good at water battles. Why did they form a cavalry? The land in the south is soft, and the horse's hooves can sink into the mud with just a casual step." Yu Xian was quite curious about this.

Or maybe I'm just curious about this setting. Everyone knows that gunpowder will burn violently and explode. And the first person who used gunpowder correctly was Yan Que. He wanted to kill Xiao Xuan to avenge Lin Leyao and his sister.

The Crown Prince and the Ministry of Revenue actually only know how to use gunpowder to make firecrackers to earn extra money. It's really hard to describe...

"Is there something wrong with this cavalry?" Mu Nihuang didn't understand.

"There is no problem with the cavalry, but the battlefield was chosen incorrectly. Cavalry is the king in the northern battlefield. In the south, there are many mountains and rivers, and the water network is dense. The infantry and navy are the most suitable for fighting in this environment." Yu Xian pointed out the contradictions in Liang State's military deployment.

"But sir, why has Nihuang never heard of such a statement?" Mu Nihuang expressed his doubts.

“I have never seen Liang State deploy its military in this way. I will come again tomorrow night. I hope the princess will sort out the military forces of Prince Mu’s Mansion by then so that I can give you a training strategy. Otherwise, with Prince Mu’s Mansion’s current strength, let alone unifying the world, it can’t even rebel against Liang State.” Yu Xian is very good at hurting people’s hearts.

"Nihuang will remember this." When Mu Nihuang finished speaking, Yu Xian's figure had disappeared in the room.

"Come in!" Mu Nihuang controlled her expression and called out softly.

"Sister, are you with him?" Mu Qing opened the door and walked towards the place where Yu Xian had just sat.

"It doesn't matter. Did you hear what he just said?" Mu Nihuang changed the subject.

"I heard it all, and with his martial arts skills, he naturally knew that my brother was eavesdropping. He was trying to help my sister, but he was also talking to my brother. As for what to choose in the future, I will listen to my sister." Mu Qing scratched his head.

"Sister can't always protect you from the wind and rain. You should have your own opinion." Mu Nihuang felt a little distressed when she saw her brother like this.

"Sister, I want to fight for the survival of the Mu family! If you don't agree, I will be a prince peacefully." There was a different light in Mu Qing's eyes.

"Brother, you..." Mu Nihuang then realized that Mu Qing had grown up.

"Sister, I guess Mr. Yu is using your brother's life to force you to do things against your will. But what he said is also true. These princes who are in power now have exactly the same temperament as the emperor. Think about how they have been jumping up and down these days in order to gain the support of Prince Mu's Mansion by marrying my sister. They even resorted to such despicable means today. I can't imagine what the consequences would have been if he hadn't killed Sima Lei." Mu Qing became more and more angry as he spoke.

"But, will you end up like Xiao Xuan?" Mu Nihuang changed her address unconsciously.

"If I hadn't read the books I gave you, I think I would have! Power is the most dangerous poison in the world, and even a normal person like you is no exception. But if you recognize the source of the power in your hands, you won't easily lose your way." Mu Qing looked at his sister and said seriously.

"In that case, let's sort out the affairs of Prince Mu's Mansion and hand them over to Mr. Yu! When you return to the southern border in the future, reorganize the army according to the strategy provided by Mr. Yu. The world is really going to be in chaos." Mu Nihuang forced a smile.

While the Mu siblings were talking, Mei Changsu was restless in the Ningguo Marquis's mansion. What happened in the palace today could not be hidden from the eyes of the Jiangzuo League's spies. Sima Lei died mysteriously in the palace of Concubine Yue, which frightened Concubine Yue and her son. In this way, Meng Zhi would definitely be implicated, and the joy of successfully rescuing Tingsheng was wiped out by this incident.

He didn't know what went wrong. When the whole plan was implemented, the important tool man and witness Xia Jiang was killed in the government office of Xuan Jingsi. The old stories of the emperor when he was young, his father and Yan Que, who were wandering in the world, were written on papers and thrown everywhere. Now there was even a murder in the palace.

This person keeps sabotaging his own plans. Why does he do that?

Now, Jiangzuo League and Langya Pavilion could not find any trace of this person. They tried everything they could think of, including the origin of the paper material and the ink, but found nothing. Although he was prepared for failure in his attempt to redress his grievances, he had never thought that he would be in such an embarrassing situation before he even started.

Do ghosts and gods really exist in this world?

Now in the entire Jinling city, except Yu Xian and Qin Prajna, everyone involved in the court struggle is very uneasy.

Xia Dong was very bad at being a human being. After completing the on-site investigation, she made a simple report to the emperor. Sima Lei, a son of a general without an official title, unexpectedly appeared in the palace of the emperor's favorite concubine. The room was decorated in a way that was hard to describe. The incense burner was filled with lust-inducing incense. When the emperor heard Xia Dong's report, he wondered if there was something wrong with his head.

The crime of causing chaos in the imperial palace was enough to get the Yue family confiscated and exterminated. Of course, they couldn't say that openly. There were so many crimes committed by nobles these days that it was not difficult to find some crime to confiscate their property. Under the pressure of extermination, the Yue family revealed their plan, which made Xiao Xuan very angry.

How should he explain this to the court? How should he explain it to Prince Mu's palace? Now that Sima Lei had mysteriously died in the forbidden palace, he scolded Yue and the crown prince, gave them a symbolic punishment, and drove them away, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.

The murderer must be the same person who killed Xia Jiang. The palace murder case has come full circle. Xiao Xuan did not embarrass Xia Dong and let her go back. However, Meng Zhi was in big trouble. If it were not for this critical moment, Xiao Xuan really wanted to beat him up.

After the death of Prince Qi and Lin Xie, he hadn't felt so panicked for many years.

Xia Jiang died, and his several men were not up to the task, for example, Xia Chun was good at the mechanism, but lacked in other aspects. Xia Jiang's tragic death and the leaflets had made no progress so far. The people in these six departments either surrendered to the crown prince or followed Prince Yu. If they were asked to investigate the case, it would probably turn into a political attack in the end, and I don't know how many people would lose their heads.

The winning party will definitely take control of power, and his throne will be threatened again.

As long as he was still the emperor, he would not allow any prince to become the real crown prince, even if they were just in appearance. This was the case with Prince Qi in the past, and it was also the case with the current crown prince and Prince Yu. To put it in a more vulgar way, in Jinling, or in the entire Liang Kingdom, except Xiao Xuan, no other powerful figures were allowed to exist.

The long night finally passed, and the entire Jinling city was bathed in morning light.
