"Eunuch Huang, you still haven't seen the danger of this situation. Now that Zhuge Feimo's position is gone, the military power of our Western Desert Army is completely in Murong Xiu's hands. If that Murong Xiu wants to rebel, then this is a big matter." Zuo Zi saw that Eunuch Huang didn't believe him and became even more anxious. If Eunuch Huang were to collude with him at this moment, he would become a dozen assistants to Murong Xiu.

Prime Minister, there are some things this old servant cannot say directly. Since the death of the late emperor, this old servant has always been by the side of the young emperor, if the regent is dead, then the palace will definitely fall into chaos, I believe that the Prime Minister knows about this, but this old servant boldly asks, if this old servant is willing to help the Prime Minister, then the Regent will really lose.

Eunuch Huang knew that Zuo Qing wanted to move to Murong Xiu, but he couldn't say anything to help Zuo Qing against Murong Xiu at this critical moment. Otherwise, Xi Li would have been thrown into chaos, and Eunuch Huang also knew Zuo Qing's thoughts. This time, he wasn't here to discuss how he would deal with Murong Xiu.

Although Eunuch Huang was a person, he had a very special position. Neither of them would choose to make enemies with a eunuch, so Eunuch Huang's position was a bit high, and because Eunuch Huang was sincere to the royal family, the late emperor had specifically asked the young emperor to listen to his words. If Eunuch Huang fell on either side, then the other person would be fine too, but Eunuch Huang couldn't help either side, otherwise the imperial court would be in chaos! This was also the intention of Eunuch Huang to specially remind Zuo Qian.

However, when Zuo Wuji heard Eunuch Huang's words, he knew what Eunuch Huang was thinking. Could he step back now? By the time Murong Xiu returned, it would be a life and death battle between the two of them. Murong Xiu wouldn't let go of the intimidating words he was spouting in front of the emperor right now.

He clearly knew that he had fallen into the enemy's trap, but he was forced to suffer such a loss. The current Murong Xiu was suffering unspeakably because he had heard of a secret decree that had suddenly been given to him by the Imperial Palace when they were in the military camp. Murong Xiu had wanted to go back home and deal with Zuo Qian. He had to admit that with Murong Xiu's strength, he was in a position to take care of the military.

However, when Murong Xiu calmed down and thought about it, he felt that if he really was going to go for Zuo Wuji right now, then he would have to face the internal conflict of Xi Li, and this point would affect Xi Li's internal conflict. But when Murong Xiu calmed down and thought about it, he felt that if he really was going to go for Zuo Li right now, then he would have to face the internal conflict of Xi Li, and this point would affect the internal conflict of Xi Li.

"Go inform the Prime Minister that I, Murong Xiu, have come to pay a visit."

"Yes, yes. Lord Murong, please follow me." When the guards saw that it was Mu Rong Xiu, they didn't dare to let him wait at the entrance. They brought Mu Rong Xiu into the mansion and exchanged glances with the other guard.

"What?" "Murong Xiu came to find me. How many people did he come?" Zuo Qian panicked when he heard his subordinate say that Murong Xiu had come to find him.

"Prime Minister, Lord Murong came alone." Seeing Zuo Qian being so flustered, the men did not dare to say anything and just agreed.

"Mm, go ask him to come over quickly."

When the guard heard Zuo Qian's orders, he immediately went to notify Murong Xiu. Not long later, Murong Xiu arrived in the main hall. When Zuo Qian saw that Murong Xiu had arrived, he waved his hand to have his subordinates retreat, then said, "Lord Murong, please take a seat."

"Prime Minister, have you been well these past few days?" After Murong Xiu sat down, he said those words in an indifferent tone. His face was filled with an expression of such harmony that no one could tell what he was thinking.

"Haha, thanks to Lord Murong, your life has been quite good." Zuo Qing didn't know why Murong Xiu had come to find him. Murong Xiu had probably returned and wanted to argue with him in the imperial court. However, now that he was in his mansion, Zuo Dong couldn't help but wonder what Murong Xiu was up to.

"Then, Lord Zuo, do you know how difficult it is for our Western Army to stay at the border of the Northern Yue State?" Mu Rong Xiu finally raised his head and looked at Zuo Qian with a murderous look in his eyes. Zuo Qian, on the other hand, was flustered by this look, but he forced himself to remain calm as he spoke.

"Oh? But right now, Lord Murong has returned. Was it because of the matter regarding Military Advisor Zhuge? " Zuo Dong pretended to be confused as he replied.

"Hehe, as long as Lord Zuo Qian knows, then it's fine. So, Murong Yi also wants Lord to ask for an explanation." Mu Rong Xiu smiled as well, his expression changing so quickly that it left everyone tongue-tied.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that Lord Murong misunderstood me?" Zuo Qian knew that Murong Xiu was probably here to denounce him, but there didn't seem to be a need for the two of them to do this. Zuo Qian knew Murong Xiu was here to do this, so he knew Murong Xiu's personality, the sofa was decisive, and he was ruthless.

"Zuo Qian, there are some things that I think it's better for the two of us to be honest." After saying that, Murong Xiu's expression turned cold. No matter how good of a temper Murong Xiu had been, when he heard that Zuo Qing was still pretending to be stupid, he didn't forget his purpose in coming here.

"Zuo Qian, let me tell you. This time, the people who belong to my Western Li Army have all returned, while that Northern Yue Army brought three armies. Those three armies are more than half of our size. Do you know how the battle between the two armies is?"

"How is it?" Zuo Qian felt a sense of foreboding when he heard Murong Xiu's words. Could it be that his side would lose in such a situation? Indeed, Mu Rong Xiu's words also confirmed Zuo Dong's thoughts.

"Let me tell you, I lost. I lost miserably!" However, I didn't lose. I lost to you! " Mu Rong Xiu suddenly became cold and pointed a finger at Zuo Qian. For a moment, his body exuded a dense killing intent as he used his inner force to create a pressure whirlpool that was aimed straight at Zuo Qian. When Zuo Qian felt this aura, he couldn't even stand straight anymore, but cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Murong Xiu, what are you doing?" Zuo Qing knew that she could not hold on any longer, so she shouted as well.

"Prime Minister, you'd better sit tight and talk to me. I still have some things to say." Right now, I can kill you if I want to, even if it's in your house. So, you better listen to me obediently, because this is the retribution that you have to show off in front of punishing Zuo Dong.

"Alright, go ahead, go ahead." He had only heard that Murong Xiu's martial arts were extraordinary, but he had never seen it before. Now that he truly experienced it himself, he broke out in a cold sweat and spoke with a trembling voice. Murong Xiu knew that he had achieved his initial result, so he relaxed his tone.

Do you know why I lost to you? Others may not know the relationship between Zhuge Feimo and I, but how can you not know that Zhuge Feimo and I have worked together for many years, so naturally, our feelings are different than others, yet you dare to say that I killed my good friend in front of the emperor? This is the first and second place. Mu Rong Xiu's expression turned cold. Then, his tone turned cold.

"Hmph. Murong Xiu, since you said that, then I don't need to put on an act with you. Do you think there's any chance for us to ease the tension?" When Zuo Dong saw that Murong Xiu was scolding him in his own mansion, his temper flared up.

"Ah, Zuo Dong, you're really disappointing. Let me tell you, if I, Murong Xiu, quit this game right now, none of you will be able to continue playing, including you!" "You still won't believe me." Mu Rong Xiu actually treated this fight for the position of the world as a game. He knew how domineering he was, but it was this domineering aura that caused Zuo Dong to be stunned. Then, he spoke unnaturally.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Let me ask you, if I, Murong Xiu, don't fight with you over anything and leave the imperial court right now, then I'll let you know that I've recruited all the members of the imperial court. Tell me, who else can replace me in Xili and eliminate the generals of the tiger sects of the Northern Yue?"

Zuo Dong couldn't reply to Murong Xiu's arrogant words. Indeed, if Murong Xiu wasn't able to lead Xi Li's army, then no one in Xi Li would be able to take on such a task! However, he couldn't allow Murong Xiu to scare him like this. He was about to shout back when Murong Xiu interrupted him.

"Enough, Zuo Qian, don't say anymore nonsense. I'm just asking if you have it!" Murong Xiu knew that Zuo Qian definitely wouldn't take it lying down. He also knew what he wanted to say, so he shut him up.

Zuo Dong also knew that he couldn't say anything fake at this moment. Otherwise, not only would he belittle Murong Xiu, he'd also belittle himself.

"Nope." Although these two words were simple, Zuo Qian's words were filled with unwillingness towards his biggest opponent. Other than Murong Xiu, there was no other choice.

"Hmph. It's good that you know that. In that case, let me ask you. Right now, the military power is in your hands. If you want to fight against that Northern Desert army, how much chance of victory would you have?" When Murong Xiu heard Zuo Qian's words, he also gradually grew more pressured, but he suddenly shouted when he heard him.
