Xiao Chonghua said coldly: "You want me to rebel?"

Mo Guiyuan smiled and said: "Don't His Highnesses want to sit on the throne? Or do you think that as long as you work hard enough, you can successfully ascend to the throne? Your father is so partial, I don't need to remind His Highnesses.

Alright?"

Xiao Chonghua's eyes moved slightly and he asked calmly: "Your treasury is gone and the pharmacist is dead. What leverage do you have to help His Highness ascend to the throne?"

Mo Guiyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all when his background was revealed.

He smiled wildly and gestured to Xiu Nu.

Xiunu opened the baggage he carried with him and took out a brocade box.

Mo Guiyuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Highness, please take a look."

Jing Yi opened the brocade box.

When Xiao Chonghua saw what was in the box, his expression changed instantly.

It was actually a bright yellow imperial edict!

Xiao Chonghua was about to pick up the imperial edict and see what was written on it, but Xiu Nu moved his palm and grabbed the box.

Jing Yi frowned and pulled out his sword.

"Jing Yi." Xiao Chonghua stopped him and stared at Mo Guiyuan with burning eyes, "Master Mo, what is the purpose of this move?"

"Of course it's my sincerity." Mo Guiyuan said with a smile, "The late emperor left an imperial decree before his death and established a new king, and the new king was not the father of His Highness the Third Highness."

Xiao Chonghua's expression remained unchanged: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Mo Guiyuan raised his head and smiled: "The Third Highness can take a gamble. Once I make this imperial edict public, the Third Highness should understand what the consequences will be?"

Xiao Chonghua's eyes turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"

Mo Guiyuan smiled and said: "I am having peace talks with His Highness, and I will confess the pros and cons so that His Highness can think twice before making any move."

Xiao Chonghua sarcastically said: "You talk about coercion and inducement in such a high-sounding way. Master Mo is worthy of being a person who can preach with just one mouth. You don't even dare to show me the content of the imperial edict. How can I trust you?"

Mo Guiyuan said seriously: "I can assure you that the content of the imperial edict is true."

Xiao Chonghua said word by word: "I don't believe it."

Mo Guiyuan's smile faded a bit: "It seems that His Highness the Third Highness no longer wants to negotiate peace."

Xiao Chonghua said neither humble nor arrogantly: "The peace talks between the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect are not for the White Lotus Sect to be at the mercy of. Every word you say to me today, I will truthfully report to my father."

Mo Guiyuan took a deep look at Xiao Chonghua: "Your Highness, you are trying to narrow the road. Your eldest brother is still in my hands, so you are not afraid that something will happen to him and you can't absolve yourself from the blame?"

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "Why didn't Master Mo ask where General Leng went?"

Mo Guiyuan looked stunned.

Xiao Chonghua gave him a meaningful look in return: "Master Mo, do you want to say that the people in the imperial court cannot find the place where you are holding the hostages? In fact, Master Mo can also bet. Once my eldest brother is rescued, the imperial court will never be able to find the place where you are holding the hostages."

There will be no peace talks with the White Lotus Sect. I advise Leader Mo to draw up a contract with the imperial court as soon as possible before my eldest brother arrives at the palace, so as to save his life."

"It's a fight! It's a fight! It's a fight!"

The cry of the five tigers came from outside the house.

Mo Guiyuan strode out.

In the courtyard, the old marquis and the great elder exchanged hands.

"That's my parrot!" the elder said coldly.

"Fuck your daddy!" the old Marquis said unceremoniously.

The elder gritted his teeth and was about to use Qinggong to catch the five tigers, but the old marquis grabbed his ankle and pulled him down hard.

The two fought fiercely over a parrot.

Mo Guiyuan shouted: "Stop!"

The great elder stopped unwillingly.

The old Marquis gave him a slap in the face!

The great elder was beaten so hard that he staggered several times and looked at him in disbelief.

The old Marquis said confidently: "His Highness the Third did not ask me to stop."

He is not from the White Lotus Sect, so there is no need to listen to Mo Guiyuan.

The great elder was so angry that he rushed over and started fighting with him again.

Mo Guiyuan glanced around and saw that the Leng family was indeed gone. He called a disciple: "Where is General Leng?"

The disciple said: "It is said that the jade pendant has fallen off. Let's take someone outside to look for it. We will be back soon."

In the past, Mo Guiyuan would never have believed that Leng Tiannan could find the hostage he was holding. However, things were beyond his control time and time again. He didn't show it on the surface, but in fact he was in a bit of a mess.

He turned back and looked at Xiao Chonghua coldly.

Xiao Chonghua sat on his seat, slowly picked up the tea cup, and smiled at him confidently.

Mo Guiyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "Does Master Mo want to arrest me? I am the envoy sent by the imperial court for peace talks. If Master Mo dares to touch me, he is openly opposing the imperial court. The soldiers and horses of my imperial court have a good reputation, and they will be able to break through the white lotus in a few days.

Teach Taolin!”

This is different from the White Lotus Sect's arrest of Xiao Duye. Xiao Duye broke in on his own, entered other people's homes and started killing people. Who else would they arrest if they didn't arrest him?

Xiao Chonghua was betting that Mo Guiyuan still had his trump card and that Mo Guiyuan would not break out at this moment.

Mo Guiyuan walked away coldly.

He won the bet.

He and Jing Yi were the only ones left in the room.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back as he negotiated with Mo Guiyuan. He seemed calm, but in fact he stepped on the tip of a knife every step of the way.

"Jing Yi, can you beat that guy just now?"

"Can't beat him," Jing Yi said honestly.

"If you can't do it openly, then do it secretly." Xiao Chonghua said, "Steal the imperial edict back."

Jing Yi asked strangely: "Didn't my cousin say that the imperial edict was false?"

Xiao Chonghua sighed: "The imperial edict in the box is fake, but I'm afraid... Mo Guiyuan does have the real edict in his hands."

If Mo Guiyuan only got angry out of shame and started killing him, it would mean that Mo Guiyuan was at the end of his rope.

But Mo Guiyuan just left like this, which shows that he still has a real trump card in his hand - the late emperor's imperial edict.

Jing Yi asked: "If the late emperor had not appointed Your Majesty as emperor, then who would he have appointed?"

Xiao Chonghua stared and said: "King Nanyang."

After Mo Guiyuan left the courtyard, he ordered the elder: "Move the hostages."

The great elder was puzzled: "Leader, why did you suddenly transfer the hostages? Could it be that...were they discovered? It shouldn't be..."

Mo Guiyuan did not explain: "Anyway, let's move first."

"Yes." The great elder agreed and immediately led people to the secret room where Xiao Duye and Leng Rui were imprisoned.

Leng Tiannan walked out from the darkness and said to Leng Zhiruo and the two lieutenants: "Follow me!"

On the other side, the old Marquis and Wei Ting were also preparing to set off.

The old Marquis looked at Wei Ting who was getting ready to go, and asked with a complex expression: "Are you sure you want to do this? After all, he is you..."

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I still can't forget it. My grandfather's head and body were hung on the tower. I took them down and sewed them up stitch by stitch. The body was frozen into ice and many stitches were broken.

But I can’t wait for them to melt away, because they will immediately rot and won’t be able to be stitched back together.”

He told all this calmly.

In the past, the young man knelt in the snow holding his frozen body and head, having cried all the tears in his life.

"I fought against Xiu Nu. Xiu Nu seemed to have recovered, but in fact he was still a little worse. If you want to kill Mo Guiyuan, now is the best time!"

The old Marquis said seriously: "Okay! Mo Guiyuan will be killed tonight!"

Early update, is there an early monthly pass?
