Chapter 1401 Choice
Mu Dijun, who had run away silently from the morning, ran at the speed of a monk for the first time, rushed back to the emperor's living room without stopping, flew into the study room where government affairs were handled, and opened the secret room to enter the underground secret passage.
The secret passage under the study is very long, and there are several mechanisms. Finally, there is an underground palace. The underground palace has the same style as the buildings on the ground, it is magnificent and magnificent.
Mu Dijun entered the underground palace and rushed into the main hall in one breath. He rushed to the spiritual stone table in the palace and opened the jade box on the table. The box originally contained a soul tablet, but now the soul tablet is gone. There is only a pinch of jade powder in the box.
The soul card turns into powder, which means that the father's soul is gone.
"Father!" Mu Dijun let out a mournful scream, and the suppressed blood rushed out of his throat and turned into a blood arrow that sprayed out of the mouth.
The blood turned into blood mist and tiny water droplets, which fell on the white jade-paved floor, splashing and forming a blood-colored flower.
After spitting out, Mu Dijun couldn't stand still. He sat down on the ground, his muscles twitching like an electric shock, and he sobbed: "Why did it become like this? Why why..."
Didn’t the imperial sister say that the Yulan Sect would not intervene in the wars between countries in the secular world? Why would the disciples of the Yulan Sect help Cang Yue Kingdom?
The imperial sister didn't mean that Elder Miao was an inner sect elder, but a direct disciple of the same generation as the leader. With Elder Miao here, as long as she didn't personally interfere in the war between Cang Yue Kingdom and Mingyue Kingdom, the Yulan Sect would at most give her a small punishment. She was punished to stay in seclusion for several years. Why was the imperial sister expelled from the sect?
The emperor's sister was expelled from the Yulan Sect by depriving her spiritual roots, which shows that Miao Chang lost power in the Yulan Sect.
Without the protection of the imperial sister Yulan Sect's direct disciple, the neighboring countries of Cang Yue Kingdom will launch a crusade. Not only will they take back the city they ceded to Cang Yue in an honest and fair manner, but they will also take the opportunity to seize the land of Cang Yue Kingdom, and even... It is possible that they will unite to destroy Cang Yue Kingdom and divide Cang Yue Kingdom.
No, it’s not possible, it will definitely happen!
Le Xiaoxianzi personally said, "Destiny does not lie with the Mu family." How could the neighboring countries not annex Cang Yue based on this? Maybe the neighboring countries have already sent troops to attack Cang Yue, just because the border is too far from the imperial capital and the battle report has not been received yet. If When the ambitious aristocratic families or immortal cultivating families in the country hear the prophecy that "the destiny does not lie with the Mu family", they are very likely to take the opportunity to establish themselves as kings...
Thinking of what the messenger said, "Destiny does not lie with the Mu family," Mu Dijun's heart felt colder than ice. He froze and hurriedly got up and ran outside. He must make a remedy!
While the disappearance of the border has not yet become known to the whole country, while there is no civil strife, it is still too late to remedy the situation.
Mu Dijun's chaotic thoughts became clearer. He rushed out of the underground palace and returned to the study. He closed the secret room. After leaving the study, he saw the eunuch chasing after him outside the palace. He grabbed the eunuch and went with him to the front hall where political affairs were handled.
The courtiers retreated from the morning court to the council hall of the political palace to discuss the border war. Because they were panic-stricken, they all expressed their opinions, but no one could come up with an appropriate and effective charter.
When Emperor Mu flew to the meeting hall, the hall was noisier than a food court. He sat on the throne and listened to the courtiers arguing, his temples pounding.
The chamberlain shouted, and the chattering courtiers fell silent and turned to address the emperor one after another-
"Emperor, the times are not favorable for me. I think it is best to immediately send envoys to negotiate peace with Mingyue Kingdom."
"Emperor, I would like to quickly send envoys to the neighboring countries in the north, south and west to appease them and prevent them from taking the opportunity to raise troops to invade the country. Once all countries attack our country at the same time, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Emperor, the only solution now is to take the initiative to return the cities that were obtained from Mo Qin and Mingyue Kingdom."
……
The courtiers of Cang Yue Kingdom have never been as united in their thoughts as they are today, and their voices for peace talks are unprecedentedly consistent.
If it were in the past, who would have dared to propose peace, not to mention Emperor Mu would be furious, and the courtiers in the whole court would also rise up and scold him to death. But now that the eldest princess has been expelled from the Yulan Sect, the situation of Cangyue Kingdom Worse than other neighboring countries.
The courtiers knew the power of it, and Mu Dijun knew the power of it even more. Therefore, no one of the courtiers took charge of the battle. He was so angry that his liver ached, and he couldn't even say a word like "rice bucket".
Now and then, the reality is so cruel.
Faced with the cruel reality, the courtiers of the Cang Yue Empire had to recognize the reality, bow their heads to the Mingyue Kingdom, and submit to their neighboring countries.
Mu Dijun originally intended to have peace talks with other countries, and the court officials also agreed to the peace talks. He adopted the peace talks with a stern face and discussed who to send to Mo Qin and Mingyue for peace talks, and who to send to other countries to negotiate. Cang Yue Country could give Mingyue Country and Mo Qin What kind of compensation does the empire have?
If you want to negotiate with other countries, you must naturally ask high-level monks to escort you. Otherwise, by the time you reach your destination by ordinary means, the day lily will be cold.
If you want to ask high-level monks to escort negotiators to various countries, you naturally need to ask the Xiuxian family to come forward. Emperor Mu discussed it with the courtiers and sent several prestigious ministers to the imperial capital to invite people from the Xiuxian family. The others will be discussed later. How to appease neighboring countries and how much compensation to give to Mingyue Kingdom.
Emperor Mu and the courtiers were arguing endlessly about how to compensate. They never expected that the contents of their discussions had been listened to by the people of Mingyue country, word for word. The people from Mingyue Kingdom who overheard the contents of Cang Yue Kingdom's discussion were none other than Luo Cheng from Mingyue Kingdom's Zhongyi Mansion. Of course, there were also real people from the five sects, Ma Er from Yancheng and Le Xiaoxianzi who ordered the monarchs and ministers of Cang Yue Kingdom to discuss matters.
Classmates Le Xiao and other real people were not eavesdropping, they were listening openly.
The real people wandered around Mang Mountain, secretly entered Cang Yue Kingdom, detoured to the grain-rich cities in the north of Cang Yue, and "patronized" the granaries in each city. Fairy Le Xiao took three points of the journey as a matter of course. Two-thirds of the food arrived at Cang Yue Imperial Capital in three days.
For the Mahayana practitioners, it was easy to go where they wanted to go. Even if Emperor Cang Yue had immortal cultivators, it was like nothing to Elder Mu and Elder Xijing. They rushed into the palace of Cang Yue Emperor with large man-made caves and selected a person. The remote and desolate cold palace was used as a temporary residence.
The cold palace is inaccessible, and the real people randomly choose a hall to place in the cave. Through observation, it is determined that the border war report of Cang Yue Kingdom has not yet been sent. The Cang Yue monarchs and ministers are still dreaming of consuming the Mingyue Kingdom and opening up the territory, and they do not want to expose it. Their sweet dreams are waiting for their dreams to break.
Of course, all the real people were not idle either. They would also go out for a "walk" at night, and found out where the Cang Yue treasury was, where the granary was, and where the Mu family's private treasury was. The real people who were good at wine even went to the palace to drink. I moved dozens of jars of fine wine back to the cellar, drank tea during the day when I had nothing to do, and had a few drinks in the morning and evening with the stored spiritual food brought out by the little fairy. It was a sour little life.
After only three days of waiting, Cang Yue's battle report from the border city with Mingyue and Mo Qin Kingdom was finally delivered. All the real people knew everything in Cang Yue Palace, so they naturally knew about the changes in the morning court and waited to hear how they would respond.
Listening openly and openly to the discussion between Cang Yue and his ministers, the expressions of the real people were quite calm.
"Little girl, what do you think?" After listening for a long time and finding nothing new, the Xiliang elder smiled and asked the little fairy who took them to Cang Yue to play.
"I don't have much idea, and I'm not interested in how they negotiate or compensate," Le Yun smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I'm only interested in Cang Yue's treasury and granary, and I'm interested in a certain place in the emperor's living hall. Interested.”
"I am also somewhat interested in a certain place where a certain emperor lives."
"Same!"
The real people are overjoyed. They are not staying in the cold palace for nothing. They have already studied the palace thoroughly. There are basically no big secrets in Cang Yue Palace. There are only a few places protected by formations. One of them is somewhere in the emperor's living hall. .
In order not to alarm others, the real people did not go to places where the immortals had set taboos to explore the secrets. This morning, after receiving the battle report, Emperor Mu immediately returned to the living room and went to the place protected by the formation. It can be seen that there are The secret may be related to Mu's soul cultivation.
"Little Junior Sister, when are we going to play there?" Yu Qi looked at the Junior Sister with a fox-like smile and couldn't help but rub her head. The Junior Sister must have made a wrong idea again, but she didn't know that she was going to move tonight. Cang Yue's treasury still went to break other people's magic circles.
"We'll go in the evening." Oh, let's go find out where Mu's Soul Cultivation is staying and search for anything harmful, and then we can move the granary and treasury openly.
"Okay."
All the masters laughed happily. The high-level masters of the five immortal sects were not interested in Cang Yue's treasury. They were only interested in the soul-capturing formation practiced by Mu's soul cultivators. They just wanted to find out and record that formation. thing, lest that crap fall into the hands of ruthless people and cause harm to the mainland.
Mu Dijun and the courtiers did not know that every word they said was listened to. They repeatedly discussed compensation and comfort items in the meeting hall, as well as the candidates for the envoys. The envoys from other neighboring countries were better off. The candidates for Mingyue Kingdom and Moqin Empire were the most difficult to decide on, and no one wanted to go.
To be honest, even if there is a rule that "two countries are fighting without killing each other", none of the ministers of Cang Yue Kingdom want to face Mo Qin and the court officials of Mingyue Kingdom. The emperor of Mo Qin Empire is a cruel and overbearing master, and Mingyue Kingdom owns Tens of millions of people died at the hands of monks from the Cang Yue Kingdom. Even if their lives were not in danger when they went on missions to these two countries, they would definitely be tortured.
The ministers who went to the Immortal Cultivation Family did not return one after another until mid-afternoon. Each minister had a disheveled look on his face, like a beaten eggplant, wilted.
When Emperor Mu and the ministers saw the appearance of the returned ministers, they knew it would be difficult to travel, so they eagerly asked how the talks with the Immortal Cultivation Family were going.
The ministers who returned from the Xiuxian family felt bitter in their hearts, and of course, they told others about their visit to the Xiuxian family. The Xiuxian family did not embarrass them, but what they said was that the emperor and his ministers sent troops to attack Mingyue. They were not invited to the palace to discuss the situation during the imperial period, so there was no need to discuss it with them now.
In a word, they should not be taken advantage of.
Of course, the Xiuxian family is quite "generous" and is reluctantly willing to send people to send envoys on missions. They will never get involved in other matters. If they want to help them go to the Yulan Sect to plead for mercy, there is no way.
Mu Dijun was so aggrieved that he almost vomited blood, because the Mu family once had an eldest princess who was a direct disciple of the Yulan Sect. Naturally, she never paid attention to other immortal cultivating families. Now retribution is coming!
