Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

In Chen Siyuan's opinion, Meng Zhao gambled everything he had to fight Tong Lie, but he didn't really have the strength to do so. Instead, he was playing an empty city tactic and using his psychological advantage to play a game with the barbarians on the polar ice field.

At this point, it seemed like Meng Zhao had undoubtedly won the bet, because Tong Lie didn't respond at all. He was probably frightened by the desperate, life-and-death momentum.

However, it should be noted that Tong Lie did not directly refuse, but simply remained silent. This means that as long as he does not respond, the matter will not be resolved. As long as he wants, he can put the battle on the agenda at any time.

The purpose of Chen Siyuan's words to Liang Muchu was that he could use the power and influence of Prince Fu Beitang Shu to cut this matter off and strangle it, thereby helping Meng Zhao avoid the outbreak of this hidden danger.

This is still a very simple point. As long as Beitang Shu issues a statement as an imperial dynasty and elevates the matter of Tong Lie to the national and ethnic level, then the one who will deal with Tong Lie next will not be Meng Zhao, but the entire Dayong Dynasty.

At the moment, or including before, Tong Lie’s various actions have never really come to an end at the official level of Dayong.

First of all, of course, Tong Lie’s strength is too strong, and no one dares to take the lead and bring trouble upon themselves.

Secondly, Dayong is now in a precarious situation and no one knows what the future will be like. Only people of the royal family have the courage to raise the issue to the national level.

Liang Muqiu heard this, but pursed his lips and shook his head, saying,

"That's not necessary. I received news from Meng Zhao that he really wants to fight Tong Lie, and he is 90% sure that he can defeat him and bring him under his command."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Chen Siyuan and Fu Fei changed at the same time.

The former was a mixture of shock and embarrassment, as well as a hint of suspicion and scrutiny, and was reserved about the information.

The latter, that is, Fu Fei, was filled with jealousy and fear after being shocked.

Although he was a playboy, he knew what the martial arts of a grandmaster, especially one that could defeat a grandmaster, meant in today's Chinese land. It meant that ordinary rules and so-called oppression by power were almost nothing to such a person.

He was just a martial artist who had acquired great skills and was not good at fighting. Meng Zhao estimated that he could kill him with just a glance without being exposed.

Facing such a terrifying person, Fu Fei couldn't help but feel uneasy, especially since he came here with a special mission from Beitang Shu.

As for Liang Muchu, her idea and intention in revealing this information was very simple, which was to warn the two of them.

Prince Fu Beitang Shu may have an extraordinary identity and a good status, but he does not have an absolute advantage over Meng Zhao.

If you think about it carefully, Beitang Shu had just suffered an assassination attack not long ago and was deeply frightened.

If Meng Zhao uses assassination or decapitation tactics against him now, can he still sleep peacefully?

It can be regarded as a counterattack that demonstrates strength and hides a needle in cotton wool.

For a moment, facing Liang Muchu who had no reaction after hearing the news, Chen Siyuan and Fu Fei did not dare to continue to force him. They could only find an excuse and leave feeling depressed and resentful.

Liang Muchu breathed a sigh of relief, but the burden in his heart was still there, and instead became even heavier.

Whether it is Chen Siyuan or Fu Fei, both of them are actually minor characters. The former has some wisdom and the latter has some status, that's all.

What the Meng family fears most is Beitang Shu who is hiding behind the two of them.

During these days, Liang Muchu was secretly wondering during his breaks from handling matters, what was Beitang Shu's intention in sending these two people here, and why was he so urgent and impatient?

Later, he gradually figured it out. It was because of Tong Lie's existence that Beitang Shu had to focus on Meng Zhao. If there were no unexpected developments in this battle, there would be only three possible outcomes. One possibility was very small, which was that both of them would perish.

Putting aside the possibility of mutual destruction, the other two are very simple: Meng Zhao wins or Meng Zhao loses.

If Meng Zhao wins, he will surely win the support of millions of people in the north, completely ascend to the top of the northern stage, become a dominant overlord, and it will not be surprising that he will even become a god in the eyes of many people.

Such strong public opinion and political capital are difficult for Beitang Shudu to possess and he also desires them.

It was precisely because he feared and longed for such a Meng Zhao that Beitang Shu hoped to recruit Meng Zhao under his command and have him do his orders before this incident.

In this way, no matter how great the glory, how much honor, or how much public support Meng Zhao gets, in the end, most of it will fall on Beitang Shu.

By that time, Beitang Shu could directly announce the arrival of the uncrowned king of the North by relying on his bloodline advantage, status advantage, and Meng Zhao's strong political capital. Even if he was more radical, it would not be impossible for him to declare himself emperor.

Of course, at that time, they will also have to face the criticism from people all over the world and the full-scale attack from the Dayong Dynasty.

Similarly, if Meng Zhao was defeated, it would be something Beitang Shu did not want to see.

It's a very simple truth. Meng Zhao lost, and his halo as a peerless genius is gone. It's also a loss for Beitang Shu.

Therefore, before this battle, the ninth prince of the current dynasty, Prince Fu Beitang Shu, intended to reach a certain tacit understanding with Meng Zhao, to take him into his pocket, share the fruits of his victory, and avoid his disappointment of defeat. This was also the reason why he was so impatient.

So, facing the pressure from Beitang Shu and the olive branch offered, what choice will the Meng family make?

Or to be more realistic, what choice will Meng Zhao make?

Based on Liang Muchu's understanding of Meng Zhao, his man is not someone who would be inferior to others.

The fact that Meng Zhao was not satisfied with maintaining an army of 100,000 and was still running around and attacking from all sides was enough to show that he had huge ambitions.

Naturally, faced with Beitang Shu's recruitment, the most likely choice would be to refuse.

First of all, Meng Zhao is not someone who is willing to humble himself to others.

Being subservient to others and lacking freedom is one thing, and having to look at other people's faces is another. The most important thing is that one is controlled by others and has no control over one's life and death. This is what Meng Zhao cannot tolerate.

Secondly, once the master-servant relationship is established, Meng Zhao will be restricted in his actions in the future and may even miss many good opportunities.

For example, when Meng Zhao becomes more powerful, he wants to leave Beitang Shu's business and start his own business.

At this time, all the shortcomings of his previous service to Beitang Shu will be revealed.

It would not be good for his reputation. Words like traitor, ungrateful person, etc. would be put on Meng Zhao, making it difficult for him to distinguish himself from them.

By then, no matter how powerful Meng Zhao is, outsiders will think that it was Beitang Shu who took care of Meng Zhao and promoted him, which led to his current achievements and status. (End of this chapter)
