C632 It's best not to think about it

Mo Rong Tian had sent out many of his People from the Divine Artefact Hall s to scout the army in the capital, but they could not find anything.

Right now, the situation of the Shen Ji Hall was indeed somewhat passive. This also caused Wei Shao's recent actions to become more and more arrogant, to the point where he completely disregarded those few high-ranking officers from the northwest.

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't have enough pay to support the two hundred thousand strong army in the northwest, what kind of order is Wei Shao going to use to order them to obey him?"

But Mo Rong Tian was not angry, with a casual look, he did not take Wei Shao seriously.

"Your highness, you mean, you intend to cut the pay of those two hundred thousand soldiers from the northwest?"

Liu Qian Xun was shocked, this was a method of harming the enemy 1000 times and harming himself for 800 times, in the end, wasn't it still beneficial for the imperial government?

The reason the Northwest Army could be this strong was because the Shen Ji Hall had paid for it.

Although the Badlands Dynasty was destroyed, the large amount of treasures left behind by the Mo Clan was not taken away by the Yan Clan. Now, they could use that money to support the two hundred thousand army.

Wei Shao did not have the ability or capital to raise so many soldiers, he did not know where he got the confidence from, to jump up and fight against his Shen Ji Hall.

Mo Rong Tian frowned, "What we need to do now is to protect ourselves with our severed arms. If we allow Wei Shao to continue acting so arrogantly, the two hundred thousand strong army from the northwest will really be swallowed by Wei Shao."

He looked at Liu Qian Xun, and the cold intent in his eyes started to condense, "Master, don't forget, among the people Wei Shao is working with, other than us, there is also Yi Xie. At that time, no matter if he is selling us to the imperial government or working with Yi Xie to deal with us, we will all be facing enemies from the bottom of our hearts.

Liu Qian Xun also knew this logic, but...

"Breaking the military's pay will cause our morale to become unstable. We've finally made it to this point. Could it be that all our previous efforts have been for naught?"

Mo Rong Tian shook his head, giving Liu Qian Xun a comforting look, "We will give the military pay, but we will need to give it out selectively. The most important thing is that we will have to give it to Wei Shao, this big tail, if we wait for Wei Shao to rely on our two hundred thousand strong army, until the day it doesn't grow any bigger, it will become a big problem for us."

Mo Rong Tian knocked on the table, pointed at the map of the army of two hundred thousand, and continued: Among this two hundred thousand army, there are still a hundred thousand that belongs to Wei Shao. The two of us are evenly matched, and this caused the soldiers of both sides to be somewhat dispirited.

Liu Qian Xun suddenly understood Mo Rong Tian's intention, and indicated for him to continue.

I'll give General Suo a letter later, the salary will only be given to our own one hundred thousand strong army, don't worry about the other one hundred thousand, regardless of whether Wei Shao comes to an agreement with us or not, we are not going to raise his one hundred thousand strong army right now. Wei Shao is only a vassal lord right now, he cannot afford to raise the one hundred thousand army with his money, this way, on one hand, we can break the hearts of the army under Wei Shao's command with the money on the other hand, and when the time comes, those soldiers will naturally turn to us.

Furthermore, this huge army of 100,000 was recruited by Wei Shao, he cannot just let them go, when the time comes, just the military pay alone is already enough to make him anxious, he has no time to cause trouble for us, and that way, won't I be able to get rid of Wei Shao easily?

Mo Rong Tian's analysis was indeed logical, but Liu Qian Xun was worried that —

"If we lose that one hundred thousand, I'm afraid we will have to delay our starting up of the war again. Right now, the imperial government is suppressing the Shen Ji Hall more and more, so I'm afraid that our identities will be exposed sooner or later. At that time, I'm afraid that we might get into trouble too."

Mo Rong Tian nodded his head, without the hundred thousand strong army, the most important thing to worry about now was time.

These few days, the imperial government's methods of dealing with Shen Ji Hall were getting more and more aggressive. As long as they had enough time, the Shen Ji Hall would sooner or later collapse.

"So, we have to create some trouble for the Yan family, so they won't have time to find trouble with us for the time being."

Liu Qian Xun agreed and nodded his head. Suddenly, he was stunned, and killing intent flitted past his eyes, "The biggest internal strife in the imperial government is …"

"Yan Shuo is dead."

Mo Rong Tian said with an unchanged expression. His tone was light and indifferent, as if he was discussing about the weather today.

As long as Yan Shuo died, no matter how capable Yan Jue and Yan Jue were, they would not be able to have the mood to deal with the Shen Ji Hall. This would also give them a period of time to catch their breath, and an opportunity to do so.

With the death of the Kaiser, the imperial government must have had a long period of internal strife. Forget about others, there are two vassal lords of the neighboring countries, the capital and Wei Shao who are eyeing them covetously, and there are even Yi Xie who is watching them from the western region. Even if Yan Jue and his brother have three heads and six arms, they will still have to suffer for a long period of time.

"Does Your Highness have an idea?"

Although Liu Qian Xun felt that this method was extremely useful, the biggest problem was that Yan Shuo was the Kaiser, not to mention the number of guards around him, they were all hidden guards, if they could kill Yan Shuo that easily, they wouldn't have waited until today to do it.

"Next month's Spring Hunt."

Mo Rong Tian played with his fingers lightly, and casually said.

"This is a good opportunity, but the surrounding area of the Spring Hunt is filled with imperial guards. It won't be so easy to break in."

"I'll think of something when the time comes."

Mo Rong Tian had another thought. He did not tell Liu Qian Xun, because he knew that Liu Qian Xun would definitely not agree to it.

"This old official has an idea. The success rate is above 90%."

Liu Qian Xun looked at him, and quickly understood what he wanted to say. Immediately, he stopped Liu Qian Xun's train of thoughts.

"Master, this method of yours, should just rot inside of your stomach. I only have one sister Rong Er and she is still alive, I don't think that Rong Er would take such a risk. Master, it's best if you don't think about this."

Liu Qian Xun did not give up, grinded his teeth, and continued to speak: "But she did it to Yan Shuo, and she was more successful than any of us who had high martial arts skills. You and I both know what Yan Shuo is thinking about the princess, so when Yan Shuo still doesn't know her identity and wants her to make a move against him, he will definitely not be on his guard at all. "

"Shut up!"

Mo Rong Tian was angry, "I said that if we do not let Rong Er take the risk, then we definitely will not let her take it. What if Kaiser suspects her, and if she falls into the hands of the imperial family, she will definitely die."

"For the great cause of the country, so what if she sacrificed herself for the princess? As a descendant of the Mo family, she should have sacrificed herself for the Mo family!"
