Chapter 121

"Let her go..." Cheng Yuan spits out a big mouthful of blood, holds a strong breath and retreats from the surrounding guards.

Xiao Ze, the Shangguan holding Cheng Yuan, clenched his teeth and looked up at Xiang Yun Xueyao's face. There was a trace of hidden hatred on his face: "whether the princess believes it or not, there is a saying that the end will not spit out today. The crown prince has never calculated for the princess. It has nothing to do with his highness to send troops to attack Yun state this time. When the princess goes, everything needs to be careful."

Yun Xueyao glanced at Cheng Yuan, who was lying on the ground, almost dying. She turned her face ruthlessly, turned over and mounted the horse, drove the horse to whip and galloped away.

……

"Your Highness, King Xiang is back." in the prince's residence, someone had come to inform the news.

The corner of the prince's mouth tilted slightly: "what's the fuss? What's going on over there?"

The attendant said, "there is no movement, but there is no evidence that King Yi is moving in the south. Now, King Yi is despised by the emperor and naturally wants to be a man with his tail."

"Hum." the prince sneered, "didn't you see Xie Yao come back quietly this time? I think this king Yi is going to suffer."

"Your Highness means that Xie Yao will use his mace?" the guard thought and guessed.

The other party shook his head, but thought about it, and didn't answer directly. He just ordered: "hum, what's going on in the palace? Remember to send it at any time."

"Yes."

In the emperor's study, the king of Xiang stood at the head. The emperor sat behind the desk and quietly looked at the king of Xiang in front of him: "you have nothing to explain?"

Feng Mo stood motionless. Hearing the speech, he arched his hand and said, "is this something out of nothing or is it true? The emperor has only a decision in his heart, and the minister doesn't need to explain."

Seeing that he was so indifferent, the emperor suddenly became angry and waved and smashed the fold at his feet: "look at this again, is it out of nothing?"

Feng Mo picked up the fold, glanced hastily and said with a sneer: "if the emperor thinks these are the facts, he will directly hand over the minister to the Ministry of punishment. Why should the emperor bother here."

"You are threatening me." the emperor stood up and pointed angrily at his face.

"I dare not."

"You... Now I ask you, did you let the prince of Cheng go? Did you exchange the witnesses you sent from him? What's the promise between you and him?"

"The emperor cares so much about how to get those witnesses. Doesn't the truth of the disaster in the South matter more than these? Can there be a promise between the minister and Chengyuan? Hum, if the Emperor didn't say it himself recently, the minister doesn't know that the minister has become such an embarrassing person in the emperor's heart." Feng Mo's face suddenly changed, and the other party's voice just fell, He retorted without showing weakness.

"Bastard." the emperor waved down the inkstone on the table.

Feng Mo looked coldly at the emperor in front of him, lifted his robe and knelt down to the ground and made a big gift: "if the emperor believes that the transaction between the minister and the crown prince of Cheng is a collaboration with the enemy, please give the emperor a decree quickly. Why do you have to force the minister so much."

"You think I won't punish you." the emperor's voice trembled.

"I have a clear conscience, and I don't dare to guess the holy meaning." Feng Modon first said.

The emperor looked at his face condescending, and his heart was even more complicated. For more than ten years, he always refused to call himself his father, nor would he say anything to himself: "you... Can't you have a good word with me? In your heart, I'm still not your father?"

"The emperor is high, and the minister doesn't dare to climb..." Feng Mo didn't look up when he heard the speech, but was silent for a moment, and finally said his first word.

"Somebody, take the king of Xiang out and forbid him to go to the king's house. No one can get close without my order..." the emperor stared at his head for a long time, and finally waved his sleeve and roared.

Father-in-law Wang quickly answered and said respectfully to Feng Mo: "Your Highness King Xiang, please..."

When Feng Mo heard the speech, it was a rule. He nodded to the Emperor: "I obey your orders."

Then he stood up and turned away without looking back.

The emperor slumped down on the back chair, with his eyebrows in a ball, and felt a jade pendant from his sleeve: "yun'er, what do you think I should do, Mo'er can come back to me..."

"Your Majesty, Lord Xie is coming." a shadow of an internal servant flashed by the door and carefully told him.

"Lord Xie?!" the emperor was stunned. Lord Xie is a veteran of three dynasties. He must have chosen to enter the palace at this time for a reason.

"Please come in, old man." the emperor took away his jade pendant and straightened his clothes before raising his hand.

"Yes." the waiter stepped back and soon saw an old man with white hair and beard coming slowly from the door.

When he crossed the threshold, he lifted his robe and prepared to salute. The emperor quickly got up and said, "the teacher is old. Don't be polite. Come on, give me a seat."

A clever waiter had brought a chair and the other party bowed respectfully: "thank you for your grace."

Then he sat down respectfully.

The emperor looked up and down at Lord Xie and said with a smile, "the teacher hasn't entered the dynasty for a long time. I don't know how he is recently."

"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine, old minister. I just can't sleep at night after thinking about the past." Lord Xie thought and replied respectfully.

The old man seemed to have something to say. The emperor raised his eyes and looked at adult Xie in front of him. He waved to the waiter next to him. Everyone retreated with interest. The Emperor just said to Xie dahuman: "the teacher is here to say something!"

Seeing that the Emperor didn't beat around the Bush, Lord Xie thought for a moment and said, "recently, the two countries fought against each other, and the state of cloud took the initiative. The state of cloud responded in a hurry. Now, although the war is stuck, the state of cloud has never won the state of cloud as expected. I don't know how the emperor views the war."

I thought that Lord Xie came here recently for the sake of King Xiang. After all, Xie Yao was the eldest son of the Xie family and related to the interests of King Xiang. Unexpectedly, when the old man spoke, he even mentioned the war between Yuncheng and the two countries.

"Just as the teacher said, the army of Cheng kingdom came. Although the cloud kingdom was in a hurry to fight, general Yunling used his troops like a God and was far above King Xin. I heard that King Xin thought he had torn Yunling's gate with the army in his hand, but I didn't expect to be almost caught in Yunling's urn." the emperor thought about it and replied.

Lord Xie nodded with satisfaction: "the emperor said very well. Although Chengguo has a heavy army, he doesn't know enough about general Yunling. He handed over the army to King Xin, who is ambitious and talks on paper. He suffered a great loss. Therefore, although it seems that Chengguo suddenly attacked Yunguo, he didn't get any benefit."

"What the teacher said is that although it seems that the cloud country is in a hurry to fight this time, the Cheng country is not." the emperor nodded, "the crown prince of the Cheng country has always cherished the people and has always advocated subduing people without war. For a small country like the cloud country, he has been hoping that all parties will assimilate the cloud country for many years. I heard that he personally went to the people to select good horses..."

At this point, the emperor seemed to suddenly understand something, stopped and looked in the direction of the teacher.

Lord Xie looked at him with a smile at the corner of his mouth. The emperor hurriedly said, "I see. The teacher means that we can't achieve our wish for a long time when we become a country to fight the cloud country. We overestimate ourselves and fail to see the cloud country of Chu. Therefore, we will be in such a dilemma."

"The emperor said yes." Xie dahuman, "Just as the emperor is obsessed with the collusion between the king of Xiang and the crown prince of Cheng, is it also confused by the superficial phenomenon? Can the emperor remember that the king of Xiang granted the people of Cheng and killed 30000 soldiers of Cheng not long ago in the border area? If the king of Xiang is so, how can he collude with the crown prince of Cheng? What's more, his highness doesn't hesitate to bear the emperor's suspicion and trade witness with the crown prince of Cheng The emperor thought it was right to find out the real situation of the disaster in the south. "

The emperor looked at the teacher's face in front of him. He suddenly remembered the resolute and unyielding appearance of King Xiang in his study just now. The group of grievances blocked in his chest was suddenly released. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Lord Xie: "thank you for your teaching. I understand."

The other party pinched his beard, smiled and nodded.
