The setting sun is like blood.

Mu Yuan led the Qingyu Army to attack the west gate of the Great Shang Capital City for two days.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Mu Yuan began to become anxious.

"Where is the Commoner King? Is there no news yet?"

In front of the army, Mu Yuan looked at the general beside him and asked.

"Your Highness, spies came to report not long ago that the Commoner King has led his troops towards the capital." The deputy general of the Qingyu Army responded respectfully.

When Mu Yuan heard the deputy general's answer, he felt a little relieved from his uneasiness.

Just come!

"Speed ​​up the attack on the city. The city gate must be breached before sunset today!" After a brief thought, Mu Yuan came back to his senses, glanced at the sunset that was about to set in the sky, and ordered.

"yes!"

The deputy general of the Qingyu Army took the order and personally led the soldiers to attack the city frantically.

At this moment, on the tower of the capital, King Zhongwu stood quietly, frowning slightly as he looked at the Qingyu Army attacking the city below.

These people are really idle.

How could 70,000 new soldiers be able to break through the fortifications of the Great Shang Capital?

I don't know what the eldest prince is thinking.

"Father."

From behind, eldest son Fengyu stepped forward and said, "I've checked it and there's nothing wrong with it."

"That's good."

King Zhongwu nodded and said, "You cannot be negligent just because the enemy has not done anything. Leaders of troops should avoid underestimating the enemy."

"My son understands."

The eldest grandson Fengyu nodded and responded, feeling helpless in his heart.

Now, it doesn't matter whether you underestimate the enemy or not. What matters is how to let the eldest prince break the city without arousing suspicion.

At least, we can't doubt their father and son.

Professor Li really gave him a headache.

Just when the eldest grandson Fengyu was thinking hard about how to relieve the eldest prince.

Imperial Palace, Tingyu Pavilion.

The charcoal fire crackled, and in the room, Hibiscus knelt down at the table, quietly making tea.

"Bai'er, you lost again."

At the end of the game, Mu Wenqing made a move and said softly.

"The emperor's uncle is very good at chess, but many of his nephews are not as good as him."

Mu Bai looked at the situation on the chessboard and responded.

"Compared to your father's chess skills, you are still far behind. You need to practice more."

Mu Wenqing took a sip of tea and said calmly, "However, when I come back this time, I obviously feel that you have changed a lot, which is good."

"People always have to grow."

Mu Bai sighed softly and said, "If you don't like some things, you have to change them yourself."

"That Professor Li taught you?" Mu Wenqing asked curiously.

"Um."

Mu Bai nodded and responded.

"The Son of Destiny is indeed unusual."

Mu Wenqing smiled and said, "Your mother and King Zhongwu have been trying to persuade you for so many years to no avail. Unexpectedly, the person who finally changed your mind was Li Jiaoxi."

At this point, Mu Wenqing seemed to have thought of something and reminded, "By the way, I heard from Murong that the reason why you came back alive this time is because someone from the Taoist sect came to rescue you. For thousands of years, people from the Taoist sect have almost disappeared.

, I didn’t expect them to appear at this time, Bai’er, do you know where they are now?”

"Escaped from the world."

Mu Bai replied, "When my nephew came back, they had all left. Where they went, my nephew didn't know."

"That's such a shame."

When Mu Wenqing heard this, he looked regretful and said, "I still wanted to have the opportunity to ask them some questions, but now it seems that I have no chance."

Mu Bai was silent. After a moment, he said, "My nephew can't help the emperor with this task."

"fine."

Mu Wenqing smiled lightly and said, "Okay, Bai'er, it's getting late. Let's get out of the palace quickly. The palace door is about to close."

Mu Bai nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said goodbye, "My nephew, please leave."

After saying that, Mu Bai didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave.

"Your Majesty."

After Mu Bai left, Mu Jin picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea for the master in front of her, and said softly, "I always feel that His Highness the Fourth Highness is hiding something."

"There is indeed something hidden."

Mu Wenqing nodded and said, "I'm still too young to be able to express my emotions, anger, and displeasure. In this regard, Professor Li is much more powerful. Every time we meet, even I can't tell what Professor Li is saying."

Which sentence is true and which one is false?”

"Your Majesty, what are the Fourth Highnesses hiding?" Mu Jin asked doubtfully.

"a lot of."

Mu Wenqing picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "Mujin, who do you think set up this plot against the eldest prince?"

"This slave can't guess it."

Mu Jin shook her head and said, "However, I feel that this situation must be closely related to His Highness the Fourth Prince."

As soon as the fourth prince came back, the eldest prince's heart-breaking affair was exposed, which was really a coincidence.

"The planner is what Bai'er calls the Taoist sect."

Mu Wenqing said meaningfully, "The Dao Sect's plot was very cleverly planned, especially the timing, which is breathtaking. Mu Yuan returned from suppressing the rebellion and had a large number of troops at hand. At this time, the news that Bai'er was alive spread

It gave Mu Yuan the idea to raise an army. Then, Mu Yuan

When he led his troops to the capital, Bai'er returned to the city. At the same time, the secret of poaching his heart was exposed, which completely cut off Mu Yuan's escape route and forced him to fight back. Coincidentally, before that, the Buyi King also took away the people in the capital.

Most of the King Wu left the capital empty of defenses, which further strengthened Mu Yuan's determination to rebel."

"Your Majesty, isn't the Buyi King a member of the eldest prince?" Mu Jin asked in confusion.

"The King of Commoners is a member of the Taoist sect."

Mu Wenqing said calmly, "Didn't he admit this personally? Many people in the court already know it."

Mu Jin frowned slightly after hearing the prince's explanation and said, "What the prince means is that His Highness the Fourth Highness has the support of the Taoist sect."

"At present, this should be the case."

Mu Wenqing analyzed calmly, "The Taoist sect seems to be entering the world, and their spokesperson is the Commoner King. However, the Taoist sect has many inheritances, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Even the Xu family can be regarded as a Taoist sect.

A branch of the Li family, as well as the Li family

In this way, we have obtained some inheritance from the Taoist sect. In addition, the Taichu Sword in the hands of the goddess of the Tantai tribe also comes from the Taoist sect. Therefore, how many secrets are hidden behind this Taoist sect has yet to be verified. Now it is only the tip of the iceberg.

."

"Taomen enters the world."

At the same time, Emperor Shang sat in front of the chess table in Shou'an Hall, his eyes turned cold, and he pondered for a few days before finally clearing up the mess behind it.

The Buyi King did not inherit the Taoist sect, but was a true Taoist sect member.

Only in this way can it be explained.

Dao Men entered the world, rescued Bai'er, and set up a trap to force the boss to rebel. Before that, the Buyi King took away all the Wu Kings except King Zhongwu, creating the illusion that the capital was empty for the boss.

sharp!

This game of chess is getting more and more exciting.

Unexpectedly, in the middle game, even the Taoist sect, which had disappeared for thousands of years, entered the game.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly came over and said urgently, "The city is broken!"

In front of the chessboard table, Emperor Shang's expression darkened when he heard the report from his chamberlain.

The city is broken?

How is that possible!

The bright moon rises in the east, north of the Great Shang Capital City.

Li Ziye, who had returned with his troops, looked at the capital in the distance, a sneer flashing across his face.

After thinking about it for so many days, I should be able to figure it out.
Chapter completed!
