Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 175 Internal and External Troubles (2)

The emperor's face was ugly, and he threw a document inlaid with gold to Mu Jingyuan, and said angrily, "You did a good thing yourself!"

Mu Jingyuan was expressionless, his dark eyes were cold, and he stood still.

Qi Da hurried forward, picked up the documents on the ground, and offered them respectfully with both hands, "My lord!"

Mu Jingyuan took the document, opened it casually, glanced quickly, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

This is a letter of credence sent by Chaoyang Kingdom, to the effect that the spirit beast eggs belong to the royal family of Chaoyang Kingdom. They were stolen by villains and fled to Beiyu Kingdom. .

The deadline is three months. If the spirit beast eggs are not seen by then, troops will be sent to flatten the Beiyu country, and all economic exchanges with the Beiyu country will be cut off. At the same time, no material assistance will be provided to the Beiyu country.

This is the undisguised oppression of a small country by a big country!

Beiyu country is not a subsidiary country of Chaoyang country, but the royal family of Chaoyang country actually issued such a letter of credence blatantly. It can only be said that they don't take Beiyu country seriously at all.

It was further confirmed that for hundreds of years, the royal family of Chaoyang Kingdom had indeed controlled Beiyu Kingdom.

He had already said earlier that the spirit beast eggs had been destroyed, but Chao Yangguo obviously did not believe it, so he planned to use force to force it.

Chao Yangguo's credentials are clear.

And those masters who came to Beiyu Kingdom in secret probably belonged to the major forces in Chaoyang Kingdom.

A disabled beast can be said to have caused quite a commotion.

Qi Da gave Mu Jingyuan the memorials from various places.

After Mu Jingyuan looked at it, his phoenix eyes narrowed, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he remained silent for a while.

Beiyu Country is now facing internal and external troubles.

Riots in various places cannot be quelled in a short time.

There is no need for Chaoyang Kingdom's army at all. They only need to cut off economic ties with Beiyu Kingdom and stop providing material support, and the entire Beiyu Kingdom will be in complete turmoil.

Chao Yangguo chose to threaten, but he just didn't want to discard the chess pieces in his hand.

Mu Jingyuan was silent for a long time, looked at the emperor with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Father, the matter of Chaoyang Kingdom still needs to be discussed in the long run. The most important thing now is to quell the civil strife!"

"The people of Lin'an City rebelled, and now it's useless to pursue the fault of the prince of Nan'an. It's better to let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds. As for Jiangling..."

Mu Jingyuan glanced at General Lu with icy eyes, and said coldly, "Since Governor Xu is General Lu's disciple, please trouble General Lu to clean up the house and solve the Jiangling Rebellion by the way."

General Lu hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, "The veteran is willing to lead troops to Jiangling to quell the riot!"

The emperor considered it for a while, and agreed, "If that's the case, then you will take an army of one hundred thousand to go..."

"Father! With General Lu's ability, [-] soldiers and horses are enough!"

"Your Majesty, the riots in Jiangling have been going on for half a year, there are hordes of bandits, there may be 2 horses..." General Lu showed worry.

"Father, the imperial capital is not peaceful now, so it is not appropriate to take too many troops away from the capital!" Mu Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

Compared with Jiangling, the emperor cared more about the safety of the capital. He recognized what Mu Jingyuan said, and immediately ordered, "I have ordered Lu General Lu Changyuan to take [-] soldiers and horses to Jiangling to quell the chaos, and set off today!"

Lu Changyuan's heart sank. He is a great general with a large army in his hands, but if he only takes [-] soldiers and horses to leave the capital... He and Zun Wang have always been at odds. There is no day to return to Beijing.

If Mu Jingyuan knew what Lu Changyuan was thinking, he would probably scoff. If he wanted to kill him, it would be easy, so why wait for him to leave the capital?
