I should marry the traitor

Chapter 277 Today's emperor is weak and unfit to serve the ancestral temple
Jiaozhou, Nanli.

When Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde's envoys both arrived in Nanli, the civil strife in the Mu family had been completely quelled.

But after thinking and discussing for a long time, Ju Shou and Xi Zhicai decided to go and meet the new head of the Mu family.

Faced with pressure from the north, Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde had to unite again, but how much sincerity and how little superficiality there was in this cooperation was probably only known to them.

This time, Ju Su and Xi Zhicai came together in order to win the support of the Nanli Jiedushi, so as long as they could support them in fighting against Dong Bai, it didn’t really matter who became the Nanli Jiedushi.

After all, the position of Jiedushi of Nanli was almost a hereditary position of the Mu family. No matter what disputes there were within the Mu family, they were the Mu family's own business and had nothing to do with outsiders.

No matter who the Mu family finally nominates to be the governor of Nanli, it doesn't matter as long as they can cooperate.

But when Ju Shou and Xi Zhicai saw the new Nanli Jiedushi, they both frowned.

There is a huge difference between mixed-bloods and ordinary people, especially the top-level mixed-bloods with more than 90% bloodline. The huge blood energy brings a terrifying sense of oppression that can be distinguished at a glance.

However, the new head of the Mu family in front of him did not show any bloodiness, but only conveyed an indescribable feeling of gloom.

Hiding his strength? But this is the Prince Mu's Mansion, the base camp of the Mu family. Why would he need to hide his strength in front of two envoys?

Or is this new Mu family patriarch just a puppet? Is there someone else who actually controls the Mu family?

But it doesn't feel like that. Although the girl in front of him looks young, she is a ruthless person at first glance. This kind of person doesn't look like someone who can be a puppet.

One could even say that this feeling was subtly inhuman.

In the reception room of the palace, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle and silent. Ju Shou and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, as if each was waiting for the other to speak first.

Finally, Mu Feiqin, who was sitting on the main seat, chuckled and said, "Since the two gentlemen came here to form an alliance, why haven't you said a word so far? Or are all the ministers under the mediocre rulers cowardly and scared after entering my Mu Palace?"

Mu Feiqin scolded both Yuan and Cao from top to bottom with one sentence. Xi Zhicai changed color on the spot and came out to scold loudly: "My lord obeyed the will of heaven and was summoned to fight against the enemy. He is a loyal and good man of Daqian. He should help the country and the people in dire straits. How can you say he is a mediocre lord?"

Ever since being stabbed in the back by An Xinlin, Cao Mengde made the blood-stained edict public.

On the one hand, he could dispel the rumor that he was Dong Bai's lackey, and on the other hand, he could rally the hearts of the people that Daqian had not completely lost.

"Hehe." Mu Feiqin covered her mouth and chuckled. After the gentle laughter, there was a kind of seemingly compromise: "It seems that Cao Mengde is indeed not a mediocre leader. At least his subordinates still have some temper."

Xi Zhicai and Ju Shou both frowned when they heard this. The implication of provoking trouble was so strong that it was about to overflow.

Ju Su stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency has repeatedly humiliated us two. Could it be that you have no intention of forming an alliance? If so, we two can just leave and accept our fate."

Mu Feiqin looked arrogant when she heard that, as if she didn't take the two of them seriously.

"My Mu family has been closely connected with the country for generations. We have been guarding Nanli since the founding of the country and have not participated in court disputes."

"The one sitting on the throne today is still of the Li family bloodline, so the emperor's legitimacy has never been lost."

"As for your fight for power and profit with Dong Bai, what does it have to do with me?"

Mu Feiqin was very arrogant, and given the status of the Mu family, she was indeed qualified to do so. But was this woman really so stupid that she didn't understand the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold when one is gone"?
Dong Bai now has the momentum to swallow up the world, and the emperor is her complete puppet. Could it be that this woman is so stupid that she can't even see this?
Ju Shou didn't think so. There are stupid people who can succeed to the throne in this world. This woman can't be one of them?
This woman came to power by killing her own sister, the former Nanli Jiedushi Mu Ying! And Mu Ying's whereabouts are still unknown, and it is likely that she has been killed. Mu Ying is a 91% hybrid of Yinglong blood. To kill such a hybrid woman, the means and mind must be first-class.

Then what she said is worth pondering. What kind of harsh conditions is she trying to put forward by acting like this?

Ju Su thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"The emperor is now in deep trouble, and the thief Dong is causing chaos among the people."

"The Mu family shares the fate of the country and has been loyal for generations. It is time to think about repaying the country."

"Besides, Dong Bai's bandit army has already set its sights on Jingzhou and Yangzhou. When the cavalry marches south, Jiaozhou will not be spared."

"Or do you really think that this beast can accommodate a country within a country like Nanli?"

"Two of the four governors, Dong the thief, have surrendered. Do you think that as the governor of Nanli, you are not among Dong Bai's hunting targets?"

"Your Excellency is in a precarious position now, so how can you talk about the well-being of the country? It will only make you laugh."

After Ju Su finished speaking, he looked quietly at Mu Feiqin who was sitting on the main seat.

When he said this, Ju Su had already put his life on the line. He had to take a gamble that the new governor of Nanli was not a bug.

If the governor of Nanli is really as stupid as he appears to be, Ju Su will not be able to leave Prince Mu's palace today.

But Mu Feiqin was obviously not angry. She neither attacked him here nor ordered anyone to drive them out.

Mu Feiqin just looked at her calmly, and seemed to feel quite bored in the last half moment.

"Boring, really boring."

"None of them are easy to get along with. They are really annoying."

"Just state the conditions directly. We can form an alliance, but you have to listen to me."

Ju Shou and Xi Zhicai both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. As long as Mu Feiqin was not a fool, everything would be negotiable. As for the conditions, it was nothing more than a discussion of asking for a sky-high price and paying the low price.

Talk, we can talk!

Both of them responded, but then their faces darkened.

Mu Feiqin clapped her hands, and a burly young man with delicate features and dull eyes slowly walked out.

Although the young man's eyes were dull, a majestic Zhenwu statue appeared behind him. He was actually a seventh-level warrior of the Zhenwu school. The black dragon blood energy lingering around his body further confirmed his identity. Li Tianzhu, the second prince of Daqian, was actually hiding in Prince Mu's mansion.

Moreover, considering his age, the Second Prince Li Tianzhu has only just reached adulthood, but he is already a seventh-rank warrior? What kind of magic did he use to cultivate?
"The emperor is weak and incompetent to serve the ancestral temple."

"The traitor Dong has brought chaos to the government, causing the people to suffer."

"Now I want to make the Second Prince the emperor and lead an expedition to the north to defeat the enemy. What do you think?"
