Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 375 Saving people first or persuading them first?

What?Didn't you just say you just went back?Mo Xingnian subconsciously turned his head to find Taishu Xiaoqin, but remembered that the other party left after bringing him to Shangxue Zhai.The movement of turning her head froze for a moment, then she raised her eyes to look at Liu Chuqiu firmly, and what she saw in the other party's eyes was only seriousness.

Since Liu Chuqiu spoke, it must be true.

Originally, he wanted to play tricks and tease this group of children with extraordinary backgrounds, but now, Mo Xingnian is not in the mood at all.With a heavy face, she walked to Liu Chuqiu's side, imitating Liu Chuqiu to straighten her back, and then leaned against the wall.

Seeing that Mo Xingnian didn't want to sit down, Ruan Tianyou didn't force it.He looked around, cleared his throat, and said, "I believe everyone knows about the second prince. The people who came today are all on the side of the second prince, so I opened the skylight to speak honestly. I I suspect that this time, the emperor is not seriously ill at all, and the second prince must have been tricked back by the eldest prince and empress to harm him!"

These words were direct enough and explosive enough, as if a bomb had been dropped on the heads of everyone, making everyone stunned for a while.For a while, no one spoke.

In fact, some people have already guessed what Ruan Tianyou said, but no one has the courage to say it so bluntly. After all, such a guess is a treasonous crime of beheading.

After a while, Zhan Xingwei gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! I've thought of that too, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Ruan to tell the truth straight to the point!"

"Here, don't call me senior brother! We are all subjects of the Northern Jin Kingdom!" Ruan Tianyou waved his hands, his face was not the usual laughing attitude, but extremely serious.

No wonder Ruan Tianyou called the second prince Tuoba Jueye just now. It turned out that everyone put aside their status as Meiyuan students and discussed issues from the perspective of subjects.

The seizure of imperial power has always been the most fierce and dangerous, torrent and undercurrent conflict in the royal family. On the surface, there is no bloodshed, but secretly, blood flows like a river.

Mo Xingnian understands that all the students here represent a family behind them, which is equivalent to a small meeting of representatives of many powerful forces in the Northern Jin Kingdom.It seemed inappropriate and embarrassing for me to participate in such a hidden meeting.

Next, the people present seemed to let go a little bit, conveying the meaning of their own family one after another.The vast majority of them expressed their support for the second prince as the crown prince to inherit the throne, while a small number of people remained neutral and seemed to be waiting and watching.

Mo Xingnian took a look. Zhan Xingwei, Wen Xia, Qiaoqiao, Xia An and Ruan Tianyou all firmly supported Tuoba Jueye, while Yu Haoyu's words were somewhat ambiguous, as if the prime minister he represented was still on the sidelines. Did not make the final decision to stand in line.

In fact, if the emperor of the Northern Jin Kingdom was really critically ill, then Tuoba Jueye and the eldest prince would inevitably fight for power. Even if Tuoba Jueye didn't have this idea, his elder brother would still regard him as an enemy.For the ministers, it is very important to stand in line, which is related to whether the new emperor will lose his head or be promoted when he ascends the throne in the future.

Thinking of this, Mo Xingnian turned his head slightly, and looked at the expressionless Liu Chuqiu beside him: "Senior Brother Liu, what's your opinion?"

"No objection." Liu Chuqiu replied flatly, there was no anxiety, fear, etc. in his black eyes, just like stagnant water in an ancient well without waves.

strangeness.Did Senior Brother Liu's family still choose to stand in line?Or senior brother Liu doesn't care at all?
Just when Mo Xingnian was wondering, Liu Chuqiu spoke again, in a very low voice, a little lonely: "I will be the secret guard from now on."

The so-called secret guard, the only object of loyalty is the emperor.They are the emperor's secret personal guards, who hide in the dark all day long, are always alert, and are always ready to block guns and knives for the emperor, and to die for the emperor.

Being able to be a secret guard means the emperor's absolute trust, which is a great honor for many loyal families.

However, when Mo Xingnian heard the word "Dark Guard", he felt very sad.

First of all, dark guards are usually orphans, who are adopted by the older generation of dark guards. They teach martial arts from an early age, practice martial arts, and cultivate their loyalty. Then the extremely outstanding ones will be sent to the academy for further training. After graduating from the academy, Then he returned to the emperor and officially started his career as a secret guard.At the same time, being a dark guard also means that you will have no freedom in your life, and you will not see the light. You can only silently sacrifice your youth and even your life in the dark...

Brother Liu...is he an orphan?Mo Xingnian had mixed feelings in his heart, and said in a very apologetic voice, "I'm sorry."

Liu Chuqiu looked at her deeply and didn't speak, with a helpless and desolate emotion in his eyes, he lowered his eyes for a while.

After everyone expressed their opinions in turn, they began to discuss in depth how to rescue Tuoba Jueye.They gradually divided into two parties in the dispute.One side is the radical faction, represented by Zhan Xingwei, who believes that manpower and material resources should be used to directly break into the palace to bring Tuoba Jueye out, and then confront the eldest prince; the other side is the moderate faction, represented by Xia An , I think we should take a long-term plan, get in touch with Tuoba Jueye, and figure out what's going on before it's too late to act.

Both sides had their own reasons, and their saliva was splashing everywhere, but in the end, neither of them convinced the other.

However, during their dispute, Mo Xingnian understood that Ganqing Tuoba Jueye had no intention of fighting for the throne at all, and no one was allowed to rescue him.Zhan Xingwei and the others believed that his attitude of inaction would not make the First Prince show mercy to his subordinates, but would just sit and wait for death.The most important point, everyone agreed that she was the best candidate to contact and persuade Tuoba Jueye.

That is to say, although the radical faction and the moderate faction have not yet unified their opinions, the difference is only in whether Mo Xingnian should go directly to rescue the second prince and then persuade him, or let Mo Xingnian go to persuade the second prince first and then rescue him.

No wonder he had to come to this internal meeting of the Northern Jin Kingdom by himself, so that was the case.But can anyone tell her why no one has asked her opinion, and it has already been decided that she will go to Beicheng to meet Tuoba Jueye?
"I told you to wait!" Mo Xingnian couldn't help but shouted loudly.

All the people who were still arguing immediately turned their heads to look over in unison. The burning gaze really made Mo Xingnian a little overwhelmed.It's obvious that it's like a man is a knife and I'm a fish!

After coughing lightly, Mo Xingnian looked at the crowd and said, "I understood what you said just now. But, I never promised to go to Beicheng to meet Tuoba Jueye!" The vortex at the center of the imperial power struggle, If you are accidentally involved, there will be no scum left, so why do you want to take this job!
