At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 360 Miaoyu Shocks the Generals
"It's fine if you don't."

When Miaoyu saw their expressions, she calmed down. Just then, the maids brought some tea. She took it, took a sip, and put the cup down.

"Tweety."

She parted her lips slightly.

"lady."

The maid bowed.

"Go and fetch the prince's sword."

Miaoyu said lightly.

"promise."

Not long after, Cui'er came back, holding a four-foot-long scabbard knife in her hand, and stood behind her.

"Is there anyone among you who doesn't recognize this sword?"

She glanced at everyone calmly.

"It's the prince's sword."

Lu Ju nodded.

"Since you all recognize me, that's good."

She said, "The prince is in seclusion and cannot see anyone, so he gave me his sword and asked me to take charge of the affairs of the Xiliang Palace."

"My words are the prince's words. Who of you thinks it's inappropriate?"

What a joke! Even Xiao Han’s sword was taken out, and you still ask who thinks it’s inappropriate?
The generals secretly complained but did not dare to show it. They all shook their heads like rattles.

“As long as no one thinks it’s wrong.”

Miaoyu said, "Since you are here, stay for lunch. After lunch, go back."

"One time of leaving your post without permission is enough. I won't do it again. If you do it a second time, I won't be so easy to talk to."

Some people wanted to say something, but when they met Miaoyu's cold eyes, they involuntarily shrank their necks and swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

He had to swallow it. Xiao Han's sword was here. If he continued to talk nonsense, he was afraid that the sword would really bleed.

"Lu Ju, you are the leader of the Xiliang generals. The current situation is extremely critical."

Seeing that these arrogant soldiers and brave generals were suppressed, Miaoyu's expression eased and she said earnestly: "What you should do is to help the prince solve his problems, not to lead others to cause trouble."

How much effort has Your Majesty put in for the six states of Great Xia and Xiliang, and how many of our Xiliang soldiers have died in battle?"

"Don't ruin this great situation because of a moment of confusion."

"correct."

Maid Cui Er interrupted, "My wife has said that the prince is in seclusion in the Grinding Knife Hall. If my wife lets you see the prince today, it will definitely damage the prince's cultivation. If she doesn't let you spread the news of the prince, it will only confirm the rumors outside."

Cui Er said, "In this case, whether you are allowed to go to Mo Dao Tang to see the prince or not, it will do more harm than good to Xiliang."

Hearing this, Lu Ju showed a look of shame on his face and slapped his forehead: "I am such a pig-brained person."

"It's good to understand it."

Miaoyu teased: "You don't have to scold yourself for having a pig brain. When you go back, work hard. I have heard a lot of rumors outside, but they are all rumors spread by people with ulterior motives."

Their purpose is to use the prince's retreat to disturb the people of Xiliang. Don't fall into their trap."

These words seemed to reassure people, but they had hidden meanings, and were clearly directed at Lu Juhe and the generals in the hall.

Tell them not to act recklessly and stabilize the people's hearts in Xiliang.

If the 500,000 Xiliang cavalry were to cause chaos, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lu Ju was not a fool, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Miaoyu's words, and he also realized that he had done something stupid.

No matter what Xiao Han did, his coming to Shuiyun Mountain with these arrogant and powerful generals would not help the situation in Xiliang at all.

"I have left my post without permission and disturbed the morale of the army. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

Lu Ju knelt on one knee and spoke earnestly.

"Punishment is unnecessary."

Miaoyu waved her hand and said, "After you go back, everyone should do their job and not act recklessly. Especially keep an eye on the garrisons in various places. Anyone who spreads rumors will be killed immediately."

"promise."

All the generals clasped their fists together. "Madam, we will not have lunch."

Lu Ju stood up and said, "I will rush back to Jizhou and take charge of the situation."

"Then I won't keep you here."

The generals left the main hall in twos and threes, especially Lu Ju, who had a layer of gloom in his heart.

He didn't think that anyone in this world could hurt his own prince, but Miaoyu's harsh suppression of the generals revealed a hint of weirdness.

More like hiding something.

Leading hundreds of cavalrymen, he rushed out of Xiliang City and headed eastward. On horseback, Lu Ju's heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Maybe something really happened to the prince."

He said to himself.

Then he immediately suppressed the thought.

impossible.

He was very clear about the strength of his own prince. He thought that no one in the world, not even the old monster in Wudi City in the East China Sea, could hurt his own prince.

"That leaves only one possibility."

In Lu Ju's mind, he began to recall the past. The more he thought about it, the more weird he felt that this matter was.

On the surface, Miaoyu seemed to be trying hard to stabilize the situation in Xiliang, but the rumors had been getting more and more intense in the past few months.

He knew very well that with her methods, if any accident really happened, she would definitely handle it quietly.

At present, the chaos in Xiliang seems somewhat deliberate. In other words, on the surface, Miaoyu is trying to stabilize the situation, but secretly, she is indulging in rumors.

Lu Ju did not doubt Miaoyu's intentions, nor did he imagine that she had betrayed her own prince.

Then there is only one possibility left.

This matter was instructed by Xiao Han from beginning to end.

In other words, Wang You was fishing and deliberately confusing the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Central Plains, and the people of the world.

Create the illusion that you are not in Shuiyun Mountain.

In this way, everything makes sense, and even the person behind the rumors may be Miaoyu or even Xiao Han.

"Correct."

"Yes."

Lu Ju was a little excited, and thought to himself: "The prince must have returned a long time ago. I am in seclusion in the Grinding Hall."

In this case, maybe Miaoyu had expected him to bring people to Shuiyun Mountain for a walk.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ju's heart became active.

He began to plan how to secretly cooperate with his own prince's plan to see if he could catch a few big fish.

Shuiyun Mountain.

Xiliang Prince's Mansion.

At the highest point of the knife sharpening hall, a man wrapped in a green robe was practicing his sword skills in a methodical manner. There was no aura on his body, as if he had reached the state of returning to nature.

If there were a strong person with the cultivation level of a Grand Master of the Celestial Realm or above present, he would be able to see that there was something mysterious in his swordsmanship.

It seems that there are no special moves, but in fact every sword strike is in line with the Tao, not just the way of the sword, or the way of martial arts.

But it is the way of heaven.

"Lu Ju and the others left."

Miaoyu climbed to the top floor and whispered, "With their commotion, things are becoming more and more real."

"That's good."

He put away his long sword, turned around and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, that kid Lu Ju must have guessed it."

"I know him too well, and he knows me too well."

“If I’m not mistaken, this kid will cooperate with our plan after he returns.
