The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Li Ziye and Mu Bai were sitting in the room, exchanging information.

Ninth Princess Murong was also there, carefully pouring hot tea for the two of them.

Monster, in the south courtyard?

Li Ziye picked up the tea and took a sip. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and said, Your Highness, your trip did not arouse the eldest prince's suspicion, right?

should not.

Mu Bai shook his head and said, "The eldest brother and I just had a brief discussion and didn't do anything else. I think the eldest brother wouldn't suspect anything."

Hearing this, Li Ziye subconsciously looked at the Ninth Princess on the side.

He didn't quite trust this wooden prince. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but that he knew the temperament of His Highness and was not good at scheming, so he could easily be deceived.

Murong saw the look from the third son of the Li family and nodded slightly to show that his brother's words were true.

Li Ziye finally looked away with relief.

What he was most worried about was that His Highness the Fourth Prince and his party would alert others.

What is Brother Li going to do next? Mu Bai looked at the person in front of him and asked.

wait.

Li Ziye said solemnly, there is something that the Fourth Highness may not know. The eldest prince's leg disease can be cured, and it is most likely caused by the demon clan.

Brother Li has already said this before.

Mu Bai said softly that this was just Brother Li's inference and there was no evidence.

Now, it's not just inference.

Li Ziye said sternly, among the demon clan, there is a secret method that can assimilate the human race into the demon clan, so that the assimilated human race can obtain the regeneration ability of the demon clan. The eldest prince probably chose this method, thus curing his own double disease.

leg.

assimilation?

On the side, Murong heard this and said slightly surprised, Mr. Li means that the eldest brother chose to become a monster in order to stand up?

Not really a demon clan.

Li Ziye said solemnly, among the demon clan, except for the goddess, even the demon king level powerhouse cannot completely transform a person into a demon body. If the assimilation is not complete, he will become a half-human, half-demon monster.

, if you want to maintain your body without problems, you must not only eat the human heart, but also the demon heart.

In the room, Mu Bai and Murong were shocked when they heard what the young man in front of them said.

Where did Brother Li know these things? Mu Bai said with serious eyes.

Confucian leader.

Li Ziye lied a little and replied.

He couldn't say that he got this information from Xuanfeng, otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

As for the Confucian leader, who in the world dares to question him?

It would be best for the old man to take the blame for this.

Taixue Palace, East Courtyard.

Confucius, who was planting vegetables, seemed to hear something and shook his head helplessly.

This kid!

There is no more daring person in the world than him.

Confucian leader?

At the tea table, when Mu Bai and Murong heard this name, they had no doubts.

Since it was said by the Confucian leader, it cannot be wrong.

I still can't believe that the Great Emperor would make this choice. Mu Bai sighed lightly, unwilling to believe this possibility.

A year later, the heart-eating monster appeared again in the capital, and the eldest prince's leg disease happened to be cured at this time.

Li Ziye looked at the fourth prince in front of him and said seriously, and the fourth prince also noticed the aura of the monster in the eldest prince's house. One or two things can be explained by coincidence, but with so many things happening together, it must not be possible.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Mr. Li just said wait, what are you waiting for? Murong asked from the side.

Waiting for a chance to win.

Li Ziye said calmly, the war has come, and the eldest prince is eager to take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds and enhance his prestige. Now that he has begun to take action, he can no longer hide in the dark like before, making it difficult for others to catch him.

, we just need to wait patiently, the fox's tail will be revealed soon.

Having said that, the eldest brother will soon be heading north.

Murong Ning said, after the eldest brother recovers from his leg disease, he will definitely ask his father for an order to lead troops to the north. By the time the eldest brother goes to the north and wins the war, it will be too late for us to do anything.

Military exploits?

Li Ziye smiled coldly and said, the entire Shang Dynasty was too confident, thinking that the Shang Dynasty would win this war. Little did they know that Mobei was no longer the Mobei it was before. Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is a bad thing.

Everyone wants to go north to gain military exploits, but they forget that there is no guarantee of victory in a war.

When Murong heard this, he frowned and said, what did Mr. Li mean by this? The strength of Mobei and Dashang was already very different. How could Dashang lose this war?

Mobei is not that weak.

On the side, Mu Bai said softly, "At least, it is stronger than what we thought. A year ago, when I went to Mobei, I realized that the eight tribes of Mobei are no longer what they used to be. There are many famous generals and strong soldiers and horses. If the merchants don't do their best,

If we continue, we may indeed lose this war.

Murong heard this and was shocked.

Are the eight tribes of Mobei already so powerful?

This was completely different from her impression.

In her impression, Mobei was full of wars and wars, and everyone was fighting on their own. It was just a piece of scattered sand, and there was nothing to fear.

She had such an impression, and the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China were no exception.

If this is really the case, the big merchants may suffer big losses.

While the three of them were talking.

Imperial Palace, Shouan Hall.

Zhao Jie pushed the eldest prince into the palace.

Father!

In the wheelchair, Mu Yuan looked at his father in front of him, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said.

In front of the chess table.

Emperor Shang glanced at the eldest son in front of him and said, yes, he came at the right time.

Please allow your father to allow your son to lead troops northward! Mu Yuan respectfully requested your order.

Get up first and play this game of chess with me. Emperor Shang said calmly.

yes.

Mu Yuan accepted the order, stood up and walked forward, looking at the situation on the chessboard with a slightly condensed expression.

A situation where tigers eat dragons.

Do you know how many people have requested orders to go north in the past two days?

While Emperor Shang was making his move, he pointed at the pile of memorials beside him and said, "These are all for himself and for recommending others. It's very lively."

After hearing this, Mu Yuan fell silent. After a moment, he said, "All the officials in the court want to relieve their father's worries. This is a good thing."

Ah.

Emperor Shang smiled coldly and said, I am very clear about the purpose of these people. Mobei is not as powerful as the Great Shang, and it cannot defeat the Great Shang. Therefore, many people want to take the opportunity to gain military exploits so that they can gain official positions. A group of

They just want to fish in troubled waters and treat state affairs as child's play.

Having said this, Emperor Shang once again raised his head and glanced at the eldest son across from him, and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I'm not talking about you, Yuan'er. You are my eldest son. Unlike them, you need to have military exploits to establish your prestige."

, I understand, but I want to remind you that just because you are my son, you cannot lose this battle, do you understand?

At the end of his words, Emperor Shang's tone became obviously colder, and his warning was so clear.
Chapter completed!
