Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, if Qinglong wants to use Jingzhou soldiers and horses to enter the capital, he must have a reason and excuse for civil war. Only if the emperor is dead, or if he issues an edict to attack Sima Daozi's party, can it be possible. If there is a civil war,
Once there is a fight, Liu Yu will definitely lead the Beifu Army and stand on the side of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion. Qinglong's dream of entering the capital and proclaiming himself emperor may be difficult to realize. However, even though he is dead, his intelligence organization still exists, will it be possible?
Will they continue to oppose us and prevent us from doing what we do?"
Suzaku nodded: "I believe Qinglong made many arrangements before he walked into the fighting arena. It's just matters in the palace that he may be beyond his reach. Where Zhang Guiren is, I am ready to personally go out and let her make the final decision.
, Mr. Baihu, as for the matter of the edict, please worry about it. In any case, we cannot let Wang Guobao actually write the edict. We must let Sima Dezong finally ascend the throne!"
Bai Hu suddenly sneered: "I kind of understand. In fact, Liu Yu may be the one who wants the emperor to die the most. He will not stop us. Although he says he will not cooperate with us, he understands that the more he says this,
, the more we will attack the emperor, because we will be afraid that they will really join forces to investigate our mafia, so only if we take action and get rid of the emperor can the civil war be fought, and only when the civil war breaks out, can Liu Yu
To truly be in charge of the army, in normal times, it would never be possible just based on his relationship with Murong Lan!"
Suzaku stood up and said, "Then let me go now and let our slave get what he wants."
Jingkou, outside Qili Village, Garan Mountain.
By a secluded stream, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. Liu Yu, dressed in cloth, was standing quietly by the stream, while Murong Lan was dressed as a village woman, standing beside him. The stream was gurgling, and the water was shining through the treetops in the forest.
The sunlight reflected the two people's faces, and Murong Lan said calmly: "You haven't talked to me since you came back from Pengcheng, but today, you suddenly want to bring me here. Is there something important?
What are you telling me?"
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "It was here that I met Miaoyin. It was here that I met the Great Snake God in my dream and gave me those magical herbs. Every spring, the herbs will be in this stream."
Two trees grow on the side, enough to make a pill. Over the years, I have been able to charge into battle. Although I have been seriously injured many times, I have been fine. It is because of the power of this pill. Unfortunately, I have already used this year's pill myself, and I can't save Ah Shou.
.”
Murong Lan raised her eyebrows slightly: "He probably doesn't need this magical herb of yours now. The news just came that Sima Daozi's eldest son, Sima Yuanxian, visited Liu Jingxuan through He Wuji and offered them to Kuaiji
The palace's panacea has cured your brother Ah Shou, and now Ah Shou is full of life again and is even clamoring to come and stay with you in the imperial palace."
Liu Yu sighed: "When Sima Yuanxian went to befriend Ah Shou at this time, the person he wanted was not that simple. It seems that the mafia is already preparing for the next action. By wooing Ah Shou, they can resume their relationship with Marshal Liu.
The connection can alleviate the grievances caused by Sima Daozi's letter to impeach the commander-in-chief, so that the Beifu Army will not be on the opposite side of them in the subsequent civil war."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Then do you still plan to continue to prevent this civil war?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "The matter has reached this point and cannot be undone by human power. Whether I want it or not, this battle must be fought. However, the mafia can use this civil war to cleanse the small and medium-sized families who do not obey their orders.
, it turns into a war to dig out the centuries-old roots of the Mafia, which may turn bad things into good things."
Murong Lan nodded: "So, you deliberately refused to cooperate with the mafia, just to force them to attack the emperor early? Brother Lang, when did you start to use these schemes and methods?"
Liu Yu looked at the running water in front of him and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "Maybe Xi Chao is right. After fighting with them for so many years, I began to gradually abandon my original innocence and simplicity and become a
People like them. However, I ask myself that my original intention remains unchanged. I am playing with these means and tactics only to deal with my enemies, not my brothers. The purpose is just to restore peace to the world and allow me to go on the next Northern Expedition.
When the time comes, there will no longer be cold arrows and hidden spears behind our backs."
Murong Lan's expression was calm: "You brought me here to discuss these matters with me, but didn't tell Fatty and Miaoyin, is it because you are already wary of them?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I have never doubted them, but I don't want to involve them. If I reject the mafia directly, the mafia will not retaliate against them afterwards. Unlike me, they can give up everything. Miaoyin has
Her family, Fatty, is also inseparable from the Jiang family. If I lose this time, at worst, I will fly far away and go to the grassland to be free, but they can't leave, so I can't implicate them. Before defeating the mafia, I can't let them
Get involved in what’s at the heart of it.”
Murong Lan sighed: "It's exactly what I thought. The only one who can help you now is me. Brother Lang, I made it very clear in the fighting field. If you want to withdraw from the dispute and return home, then I will
Just be ordinary as you are, and be an ordinary civil couple for a long time. If you can't let go of your ambitions and want to make achievements, then I will do my best for you, except, in addition to dealing with my own motherland.
I can help you with everything except the clan members."
Liu Yu turned around and picked up Murong Lan's bare hand, gently rubbed the back of it, and said softly: "My dear, it's great to have you by my side in this life. Now it's impossible for me to go back and be a Jingkou farmer.
, since I want to withdraw from these disputes, they will not let us go. Just like Qinglong and others, I have already gone to the Central Plains to develop and will not touch their interests in the south. They will still deliberately try to ruin my affairs, even if
When I return to Jingkou, they will still try to use me in every possible way. I have no power in my hands, and my family will become pawns in their hands. The Xie family can no longer protect my mother and brother like they did before, so I must take on the responsibility of protecting them.
My family responsibility also includes protecting you."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "To protect the people you cherish, you need enough strength, so you must gain such strength step by step. You finally understand this truth now, but taking this step is against the law."
You used to have many principles in life, even to the point of sacrificing and hurting others. Can you really tolerate this in your conscience?"
