The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 389 Hostage
Li Muyun nodded: "You don't want to gamble, you want to be sure, this I can understand."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your understanding..." Seeing that Li Muyun's tone was a little loose, Jin Chengyou said hastily.

But halfway through the conversation, Li Muyun interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "But I'm not stupid. If you want to be sure, you can't take risks with me. No matter how you say it, Quan Gai Suwen is your Mo Lizhi, in the name of being an envoy." When we arrive at Datang, how much risk do you think I need to take to keep him?"

"Besides, to be honest, I don't believe you. Who knows if you will suddenly change your mind at that time. If you insist on saying that I killed your Mo Lizhi, what should I do if I want to pay my life? I didn't eat a bite of fish. But it made me feel fishy, ​​wouldn't it make people laugh!"

"This..." Jin Chengyou didn't know how to respond to Li Muyun's words.

In fact, neither Gao Jianwu nor him thought about giving money. They just wanted to use him as Li Muyun said just now, and beat him up after he killed Quan Gai Suwen.

Anyway, at that time, Quangai Suwen had already died, and Goguryeo had no internal worries, and their goal had been achieved.

And no matter how dissatisfied Li Muyun was, no matter how unwilling he was, it would be difficult for him to influence the government as a dude, and no matter how aggrieved he was, he could only endure it.

As for Li Shimin... As the suzerain state, his own subjects killed the envoys of the subordinate state, and it is estimated that His Majesty the emperor would not be ashamed to attack Goguryeo.

All of this was discussed last night between Gao Jianwu and Jin Chengyou. They believed that Li Muyun would be fooled by the temptation of 10 taels of silver.

But Jin Chengyou never expected that although Li Muyun was greedy and lustful, he was not stupid at all, as he said, on the contrary, he was very smart, and he had seen through their plans in advance almost without thinking.

Seeing Jin Chengyou's speechless look, Li Muyun shook his head and smiled emotionally: "Old Jin, actually speaking of scheming people, I would like to advise you, don't think that all dudes are fools, in fact, the books I read are not necessarily It is less than your king, and his education is not necessarily lower than his, the reason why he is mixed up like this is just because there is no hope."

Jin Chengyou swallowed with difficulty, and for the first time really examined Li Muyun, a domineering, greedy and lustful dude.

Did I really underestimate him?Could it be that this dude is really so shrewd for this sake?Yes, it should be like this. If one considers the inheritance rights and the relationship between the royal family, this arrogant and domineering approach by Li Muyun is indeed the best way to protect oneself wisely.

But if Li Muyun is so shrewd, what about the mission entrusted by King Rongliu?Besides, this Xiaoyaohou already knew his plan, even if he wanted to turn around, it was already too late.

Of course, he could also choose to kill people and keep Li Muyun and Yu Zhining behind.But this is undoubtedly an excuse for Li Shimin to go to war. When the time comes, when a million troops Chen Bing border, what will Goguryeo use to resist?

Thinking of this, Jin Chengyou couldn't sit still any longer, and said anxiously to Li Muyun: "Master Hou, you must have misunderstood us about this matter, this is fine, if you still don't believe us, we can give half of it first. silver."

"No, I want everything." Li Muyun shook his head: "I don't want to care about who is right and who is wrong among you Goguryeo people, but I don't want to take any risks, so you can only gamble, either choose to trust Lao Tzu, or you both Keep the money, hire more killers, assassins, etc., I believe there will always be success."

Speaking of this, there was no room for discussion anymore, Jin Chengyou was silent for a while and decided to go back and report the truth to Gao Jianwu. As for the final outcome of the matter, it still depends on King Rongliu's decision.

……

After all, Yu Zhining is still old, coupled with the cold climate of Goguryeo, so he fell ill without any surprise. He was very sick and had a high fever of more than 100 degrees. become mature.

The little old man thought he couldn't make it through this test, so he wanted to go back to the country no matter what, because he didn't want to die in another country.

Gao Jianwu had no choice but to agree to split the Tang Mission into two, with some of them protecting the deputy envoy Yu Zhining and returning to the Tang Dynasty, while the main envoy Li Muyun had to stay in Goguryeo and wait for the entire capital to be destroyed. Then set off back to Datang.

Before parting, Li Muyun came to Yu Zhining's carriage and looked at Yu Zhining who was lying in it, sick and dying: "Teacher, try not to stop on the road, use the fastest speed, don't wait for me, don't wait for me." Don't send people back to find me, I will find a way to hold them back from Goguryeo."

Yu Zhining sat up all of a sudden, and said with a sad face: "Muyun, I'd better stay here, I'm old, even if I die, I won't lose, you..."

Li Muyun waved his hand to signal Lao Yu not to get excited: "I'll be fine, King Rongliu is not a fool, if he really wants to touch me, our bodies are probably cold by now."

Yu Zhining reluctantly nodded, and took a deep look at Li Muyun. Ever since he had finished talking about King Rongliu's plan the night before, Lao Yu was immediately frightened out of his wits. This kind of imperial power struggle is often the most involved. If you accidentally get involved, you will die without a place to die.

Li Muyun also knew this, so he arranged for Zhining's illness without waiting for Zhining to express his opinion after finishing all this, and at the same time asked Gao Jianwu to return to Datang.

But Gao Jianwu is not a fool, Yu Zhining is dispensable to him, an old master is not in his eyes, it doesn't matter even if he returns to Datang, but Li Muyun absolutely can't leave.

It's not for anything else, it's because Li Muyun's brain is too active. Although he has repeatedly emphasized that he will not leak any information, Gao Jianwu will never let him leave before the matter has no result.

And not only that, even Yu Zhining who left was monitored by the escort team sent by Gao Jianwu. At the same time, the escort team was also ordered to kill anyone who had contact with Yu Zhining on the road. Leave one alive.

Li Muyun was detained by Gao Jianwu at this time, as long as the bones of the former Sui soldiers were not recovered, or Li Muyun did not meet King Rongliu's request, he would not have the chance to leave.

Yu Zhining has been an official all his life, so he can naturally see the way of it clearly, but Naihe is now powerless and unable to help at all, even if he stays, he will become a burden just like what Li Muyun said , it is far less reassuring than going back to Datang.
