royal robes

Chapter 299
Murong Yanchao is not really a loyal minister, but the actual situation makes him have to be a loyal minister.If he wanted to keep his status, if he didn't want to die of cold and hunger, he had to ensure that Jiangshan was still in the Liu family, and Guo Wei must not let Guo Wei take advantage of this.

What's more, there was a conflict between Murong Yanchao and Guo Wei, and he knew that if Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor, he would never let him go.In terms of military strength and military quality, Murong Yanchao has no choice but to bow down, and in terms of martial arts...it is even worse, Guo Wei is already considered a top master, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger.Although Murong Yanchao had only heard about this, the news was very accurate because it was told to him by his father-in-law King Xue.

King Xue only met Guo Wei once, and the two had not spoken seriously.But the induction between masters may tell how deep a person's skills are just by listening to his breathing.King Xue could see Guo Wei's great strength at a glance. Later, after some investigation, he found out that it was Zong Xin who taught Guo Wei a set of seal techniques. On.

Even without the Nine Seals Yimai Technique, Murong Yanchao would still be defeated by Guo Wei, he knew this very well.In today's world, the only person who can defeat Guo Wei and is willing to help him is the military father Xue Wang, but it is a pity that the military father has returned to Kunlun Mountain, not to mention Xue Wang's character, he will never be an enemy of Guo Wei for his son-in-law.

Murong Yanchao has no choice, Guo Wei's strength is too strong, and his attainments in the art of war are too high.As long as he is given enough troops, it will not be difficult to fight back to Kaifeng.Originally, Murong Yanchao didn't want to confront Guo Wei head-on, but Guo Wei wanted to seize the Han Dynasty. Murong Yanchao was afraid that Zong Xin's prophecy would come true, so he could only bite the bullet.

"Your Majesty, if you are determined to fight this battle, I, as an uncle, will naturally accompany you to the end. Anyway, I have nothing to fear. It's summer, and the army has enough food and grass, so I won't die." Murong Yanchao said: "Zong Xin The master has predicted for me that I will die of cold and starvation. Now the conditions here are not satisfied, you don’t have to worry about my safety, let me do any dangerous things, I will not die.”

"Don't mention that monk in front of me... If it wasn't for him, Guo Wei would have died a long time ago."

"Let's take it easy. If Master Zong Xin wanted to kill you, would you still be alive? So far, how many chances has he been alone with you? What about the comparison of your two martial arts? Master Zong Xin didn't mean to oppose you on purpose. You are too disingenuous, too reckless." Murong Yanchao said: "I have admired two people in my life, the eldest brother Liu Zhiyuan is half of them, although he was a soldier all his life, he made a big mistake before he died, that is, he passed the country to you The second is my father-in-law Xue Wang, the head of the Kunlun sect. His martial arts are not inferior to Guo Wei, but unfortunately he is a despicable villain and has no profit, so he can only be counted as half. The most admired is Zong Master Xin, who in the world would dare to disobey him?"

Although Murong Yanchao and Liu Chengyou hated Zong Xin, they were also afraid of him and believed in him.Murong Yanchao had already sent a letter. Zong Xin said that he died of freezing and starvation. He dared to rush to the front before the formation of the two armies, because he believed that he would not die here.

Liu Chengyou thought about it carefully, in fact what Uncle San Huang said was right.Master Zongxin is an accomplished monk. How many opportunities does he have to kill himself?I lost count. Since Zong Xin didn't take action, it proved that Zong Xin didn't actually hate himself.Originally, the relationship between the two was very good, and Zong Xin had been making suggestions for him, but it was a pity... why did he attack Guo Wei?
Liu Chengyou always felt that Zong Xin planned his attack on Guo Wei, but Zong Xin never mentioned it officially, it was all just his own imagination.

Murong Yanzhao said: "As the saying goes, Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, and ordinary people are afraid of consequences. Master Zong Xin is not an ordinary person. He will only send certain people to the intersection. It depends on which way you go. Your choice is destined to be his. Behavior. Is Your Majesty worrying about why Master Zong Xin helped Guo Wei instead of His Majesty? There is no need to think about it, the reason is actually very simple, Guo Wei is a good person."

"You imply that I am a bad person?"

"No, no, your majesty is the emperor, and the emperor doesn't distinguish between good and bad. It's just that your majesty can't do what Guo Wei did." Murong Yanzhao no longer regards Liu Chengyou as the emperor, and now he is just teasing.Anyway, he has the largest number of troops here, and Liu Chengyou doesn't dare to do anything to him.

Murong Yanchao sighed: "Faithful words are harsh to the ears. In the future, you should listen to what others say, and just work hard to be a good emperor. I hope this time you can get through the difficulties, otherwise you will be too sorry for the generation of big brother who went to war in the south and north. In the end This country was won in one fell swoop.”

"Uncle, you don't know something. Zong Xin calculated that I would not live to be 20 years old. I should have died long ago. When Yelu Deguang sent his army south, my life span had been exhausted. But I got a share The Red Emperor True Yuan, it is this Red Emperor True Yuan that allows me to live for one more year. So I want to get more Red Emperor True Yuan so that I can prolong my life. It just so happens that Guo Wei has a copy of the Red Emperor True Yuan in his body. What's wrong with wanting to kill you?"

"Don't you know how to find a way from other people? Do you have to ask for Guo Wei's share of the Red Emperor's true energy?" Murong Yanchao said: "And... with Guo Wei's character, as long as you don't move his family, he will be willing to be with you." Committing suicide in front of you. You have to threaten the lives of his whole family. Isn’t this seeking death?”

"I have no choice..." Liu Chengyou said: "Chai Rong is by no means a thing in the pool, and Guo Xin is Zong Xin's disciple. What if they come to settle accounts with me? How can we cut the grass without eradicating the roots?"

"Forget it, forget it, it's annoying to hear you say this." Murong Yanchao said: "You have done a lot of wrong things, I hope you will never do anything wrong again, otherwise even my third uncle will not help you gone."

In fact, Liu Chengyou was already reflecting on himself. If he hadn't done these things wrong, maybe he wouldn't have attracted so many enemies at all.Since it was Guo Wei and Zong Xin, these two people almost killed him.Now that Guo Wei is rebelling in Chang'an, if he fights back to Kaifeng... Even if Guo Wei is soft-handed and let him live, his second uncle Liu Chong will not let him go, and it will definitely be a dead end.

There are some things these people will never know, only Zhao Kuangyin sees them.Zong Xin was planning to kill Liu Chengyou in the first place. Everything was operated by Zong Xin behind his back, even Liu Chengyou's attempt to kill Guo Wei was reminded by Zong Xin and kept instilling this concept.

So far, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know what Zong Xin's purpose is, why he wants to overthrow Liu Shijiangshan and deliberately let Guo Wei ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.Zhao Kuangyin doesn't believe in God's will, and he knows Zong Xin too well. Zong Xin is doing things according to his own ideas, but what good does Zong Xin do for him?
According to Zong Xin's plan, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, he pacified the left and right, and then passed the throne to Chai Rong, while Chai Rong consolidated development and expanded territory.The last step was for Zhao Kuangyin to rebel and ascend the throne. It must be said that Zongxin did all this as if he was just for Zhao Kuangyin to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zong Xin was very kind to him, but he couldn't believe that that shameless monk did this for him, and he started planning immediately after getting to know him.

Liu Chengyou was still thinking about what he did wrong, shook his head helplessly and said: "Uncle Emperor, I just now understand one thing, the military power really cannot be handed over to others, otherwise the emperor is also a poor man. No wonder you Consolidating our power together, I thought it was naive before, but now I know how important it is to have military power in my hands."

"It's good to know, I hope we can get through this crisis. We will settle accounts with these people in the future, and now we should focus on the immediate matter." Murong Yanchao said: "Murong Yanzhao, you are a loyal minister among loyal ministers , as long as you can defeat Guo Wei this time, I will give you a prince without your majesty's reward."

"Thank you King Yan, thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Chengyou waved his hand, although he felt a little unhappy, but he knew that it was not easy for Murong Yanzhao to listen to him and send troops to Tongguan. Although he had some quarrels with him these days, Murong Yanzhao was the real loyal minister.Let's forget what happened these days and won't settle accounts with him in the future.

"By the way, the messenger seems to have something to report just now, send it quickly." Liu Chengyou only remembered such a thing after discussing halfway.

The messenger immediately entered the tent, sweating profusely.Because the matter he wants to report is very important, but he was not allowed to report just now, it is too late now, and I don't know what to do.The messenger was sweating from anxiety outside the camp, and finally heard the order, but at this moment the messenger really didn't know what to say.

"What did you report just now?"

The messenger said: "Several merchant ships loaded with grain and grass appeared on the banks of the Wei River. These merchant ships unloaded their cargo immediately after King Yan entered the camp, and Tongguan sent troops to escort him. According to the situation, all the grain and grass had been moved into Tongguan. The spies were unable to rob the grain, and there was no order from His Majesty in the camp. Unable to send troops, we can only watch..."

"Bastard, such an important matter is only reported now?" Murong Yanchao's eyes were red with anxiety. This is a good opportunity to eliminate Tongguan, but let it slip away like this?
"King Yan, there is no need to be angry..." Murong Yanzhao said: "It seems that the other party has had this plan for a long time. These merchant ships must be hiding nearby and have never dared to show up. Taking advantage of King Yan's entry into the camp, they transported grain and grass to Tongguan. I thought that Chai Rong and others must have expected that King Yan would come to Tongguan, so they made this arrangement. Besides, it was His Majesty who just asked the messenger not to report, so it is not his fault... You go down first."

Murong Yanchao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but at this time there was only this messenger in the camp to kill, but Murong Yanzhao stopped him.The messenger immediately fled out of the camp after receiving the order to retreat, for fear that if he took a step too slowly, he would be struck to death by King Yan's palm.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.How can there be such a coincidence in the world?The other party must have made arrangements in advance. Zhizhi Pu was outmatched in strength, and he would be robbed if he forced the grain to be transported. He deliberately took this opportunity to transport grain and grass to Tongguan.Although he fell into the trap, there was nothing he could do.
