Prosperous advisors

Chapter 684 The war started, reunion (1)
Brother Shujun smiled lightly and looked at Mu Qingyi with great interest.He was really curious, what else could Mu Qingyi do in such a situation?Even if he wants to repeat the old tricks like just now, I'm afraid Murong Ke won't give her another chance to get close.

Murong Ke on the tower had a gloomy expression, and the complacency just now was no longer on his face.The attendant standing beside him hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, what Mu Qingyi said... is not without reason. Just in case..."

Murong Ke frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Then what do you say?"

The attendant hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Kill Ge Shujun and keep Mu Qingyi. If there is an emergency, Liu and Mu Qingyi can also be used as a bargaining chip."

"This..." Murong Ke hesitated, "Why don't you keep Brother Shujun?"

"Compared to Mu Qingyi, elder brother Shujun is more cruel and ruthless. Even if the prince lets him go in the future, I'm afraid he will never let the prince go." The attendant reminded.

"This... is true." Murong Ke frowned, intellectually he did not believe Mu Qingyi's words.However, the experience of being randomly thrown in Xiyue by Huahuang and the disregard for decades made Murong Ke unable to help but suspect that Huahuang's importance to him was not worth mentioning.

Just when Murong Ke was hesitating, there was an earth-shattering sound of horseshoes from the other side of the city.Murong Ke couldn't help being taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?" This kind of powerful voice that can be heard for several miles is definitely not something that a mere hundred or ten horses can do.

But after a while, a soldier guarding the city quickly came to report, "Speak to the lord! The army from the west invaded the country, the general asked the lord how to deal with it!"

"What?!" Murong Ke felt his eyes go dark, and grabbed the soldier who came to report the news and said sharply: "Xiyue Army?! How many people!"

The soldier was dazed by his shaking, and reluctantly said: "My lord, there are at least 20 people. Seeing their handsome flags from a distance, it seems... It seems that the emperor of Xiyue personally marched!"

"Bastard!" Murong Ke couldn't help but feel his legs go weak, "Rong Jin's imperial conquest, why there was no news before?!"

The soldier was just an ordinary city guard, how could he know this.Murong Ke, who was looking blankly for a while, was upset again. His eyes swept down to Mu Qingyi and others who were still surrounded by the crowd, and they became even more angry, "Kill Mu Qingyi and Ge Shujun first!"

"Think twice, my lord!" The staff behind Murong Ke were taken aback and quickly dissuaded him.

"My lord, if the army invades the country at this time, if Mu Xiang is killed... it will only arouse the anger and morale of Emperor Xiyue and the soldiers of Xiyue. Keep her... and she can be used to threaten Emperor Xiyue in an emergency. .”

The reason why Murong Ke said he was going to kill Mu Qingyi was actually just a moment of anger.No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Mu Qingyi was one of their most important bargaining chips at this time.Emperor Xiyue personally led an army of 20 to knock down the pass. You know...the city here only has a total of 10,000+ soldiers and horses.If the city is broken, he, the prince who is here at this time, will be guilty of a heinous crime.Even if he escaped to death by chance, his father would not be able to spare him when he returned to the capital.

Angrily glaring at the people below, Murong Ke waved his hand and said: "Suppress the people first! I will deal with them later. I will send an order to the generals defending the city. I will defend them with all my strength and not go out of the city to fight. This king immediately sent a letter to the emperor for help. !"

"Yes, my lord."

Downstairs, Ge Shujun listened thoughtfully to the continuous sound of horseshoes in the distance, then looked at Murong Ke on the tower who was furious, and said with a smile: "It seems that we can't die."

Wei Wuji said indifferently: "It's because we can't die, not necessarily the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty."

Brother Shujun didn't care either, he looked back at Mu Qingyi curiously and said, "I'm very curious, if Xiyue's soldiers and horses didn't arrive by chance, how Mu Xiang planned to escape."

Mu Qingyi looked at brother Shujun with a half-smile and said, "Truth originally planned to persuade King Fu to help him win the throne of the Hua Kingdom, as long as he spared Zhenxiang's life, he would kill you by the way."

"Do you think he will believe it?"

"Does Your Majesty think the truth cannot be done?"

"..." Ge Shujun was silent.Didn't I say that the royal family of the Hua Kingdom suffered too much from you, and Murong Ke would never believe you?
Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and remained silent.If the Western Army did not come in the end, she would still be sure to persuade Murong Ke.As long as people with ambition have weaknesses, as long as they know their weaknesses, there is no one in this world who cannot be persuaded.Unless he is a fool or a lunatic, it is obvious that Murong Ke is a normal person.But if this is the case, things will be much more troublesome.Right now, just right.

"Rong Jin is here." Wei Wuji whispered in Mu Qingyi's ear.Mu Qingyi didn't have the internal strength to hear the conversation on the tower, but Wei Wuji and Xia Xiuzhu could hear clearly.Hearing this, Mu Qingyi was startled.Turning back to look in the direction of the city tower, his distant eyes looked over the top of the city to a further place... Rong Jin was able to feel the border city so quickly, he must have left the imperial city of Xiyue as soon as he received the news.I don't know... what's going on in the imperial city now.Although he disapproved of Rong Jin's impulsive behavior in his heart, the deepest part of his heart still couldn't help but a little joy and providence surged up.

"It seems... this time I really want to be a prisoner." Mu Qingyi smiled lightly.

In the seemingly crude General's Mansion in the border town of Huaguo, Mu Qingyi and brother Shujun sat leisurely in a cell made of fine iron.Xia Xiuzhu and Wei Wuji next to them were more tragic, their acupoints were tapped and their bodies were tied with fine iron chains.After all, without considerable skill, no one can guarantee how long the so-called acupuncture will last.

It was very quiet in the cell, and there was a steady stream of noisy and startling killing sounds outside. It was obvious... the two armies outside the city had already started fighting.

Brother Shujun looked at Mu Qingyi who was sitting on the side with a calm expression and asked with great interest, "Is Mu Xiang not worried at all?"

Mu Qingyi raised her eyes, looked at him lightly and said, "What are you worried about?"

Ge Shujun said: "Emperor Xiyue. I really didn't expect that Emperor Xiyue was so infatuated with Mu Xiang that he rushed to the border town so quickly..."

Seeing brother Shujun's relaxed and contented appearance, Mu Qingyi said calmly, "Your Majesty has this spare time, so why not think about how to get out of trouble."

Ge Shujun raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this something Mu Xiang should worry about? Now that the West Yue army is approaching the city, if Murong Ke can't resist, he will naturally ask me for help. What do I need to worry about?" Mu Qingyi said with a light smile: " Ask you for help? Then lead the wolf into the house?"

If Murong Ke asks brother Shujun for help, I am afraid that the country of Hua will perish even faster.I'm afraid that the Xiyue Army is already on the border of China at this moment.It's just that Rong Jin took the first step.

Brother Shujun sighed, "Fortunately, Murong Ke is not as smart as Mu Xiang. Otherwise, I would be in serious trouble. What's the matter? Now that the matter is over, would Mu Xiang consider talking to me?"
