Murong Fu did not waste time on Jiao Wan'er. He took advantage and rushed back to the palace to find Ah Qing. But to his disappointment, when he arrived, Ah Qing had disappeared.
Looking at the empty big bed, Murong Fu let out a long breath. He had somewhat expected this outcome. The reason why he left before was not because he was careless, but because he knew that he could not see it for a while.
In this life, after all, she is a person in the realm of transformation. If she must leave, she will be able to leave sooner or later.
Of course, now that we know A-Qing's purpose, it's not too difficult to find her.
After thinking about it for a while, Murong Fu's mood gradually improved. He left the palace without staying too much and went back to the Ruyang Palace. As for agreeing to Jiao Wan'er, he planned to wait a few days before talking about it. Otherwise, the matter would be too easy and Jiao Wan'er might not be able to do it.
Deliver on promises.
In the next few days, order was gradually restored in the originally chaotic Dadu. Alibaba and Kublai Khan ceased their activities, Su Weisi took over the city defense again, and Kublai Khan's army also gave up the captured city gates and territory.
They retreated honestly to Nanda Camp, twenty miles away from Dadu, and the drama of brothers fighting for position ended in an anticlimactic manner.
This result came so suddenly that the people of Li who had suffered from the war were still a little unaccustomed to it. They discussed and speculated one after another, but they still couldn't figure out why the two brothers suddenly stopped? Finally, a news came out from the palace, saying that the big brother
Khan Temujin took action to suppress the two men, and then the fighting stopped, and the whole city was in an uproar.
At this time, Murong Fu was still listening to the piano in the small courtyard of Han Ji in the Ruyang Palace. The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace beside him were reporting in a low voice on the situation in Dadu. When he mentioned the whereabouts of Brother Ali and Kublai Khan, Murong Fu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
, "So the only one under house arrest is Brother Ali, then Kublai Khan has secretly returned to the army?"
"Exactly, the two seemed to have reached an agreement. After Kublai Khan returned, he immediately ordered half of the army to be sent to the border, while the other half stayed to defend the capital."
"Hmm..." Murong Fu pondered for a while, "It seems that he is either worried about Ah Qing or intends to appoint Kublai Khan as his successor. How is the war in the west? Is there any news from the four major khanates?"
The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace immediately replied, "News just came this morning. Tuo Lei personally led an army of 300,000 to assist Dadu, but was blocked by the Xixia army at the Narat Pass. The other three khanates had an allied force of 50,000 to 60,000.
We are entangled by the army led by Kuku Temur. Although we are defeated, we can still delay it for some time."
"Three hundred thousand!" Murong Fu was surprised after hearing this, "How can there be so many?"
You must know that although the Western Region is known as the thirty-six countries, in fact, after these years of war, the number has dropped sharply. It would be good to have twenty countries. These twenty countries will be divided among the four major khanates.
One person can only get the territory of four or five small countries. An army of 100,000 is already overestimated. How can it be possible to assemble such a large army?
The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace hesitated and couldn't answer.
Murong Fu thought for a long time, and could only blame it on Tuo Lei secretly hiding his strength, or that his strength was far superior to the other three major khanates and he had expanded to further places.
Murong Fu felt somewhat fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, he did not take action against Temujin and sent Li Qiushui to stop him in time. Otherwise, things would have gotten out of hand. However, Dayuan still had such a foundation, could Temujin still do it?
It's hard to say whether the promise will be fulfilled.
Thinking of this, his mind turned and he immediately asked, "Has there been any reply from Yanziwu? Has the Kaiyang Army moved out?"
Three days ago, after he returned to Prince Ruyang's Mansion, he immediately wrote a handwritten letter instructing the Blood Shadow Palace disciples to rush to Yanziwu eight hundred miles away. The main purpose was to dispatch the Kaiyang Army who stayed in the south of the Yangtze River to go north and prepare to take over the territory in Dayuan Pass.
The disciple of the Blood Shadow Palace smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Sir, the letter has only been sent for three days. Even if it is urgent for 800 miles, there will be no reply so soon."
Murong Fu naturally knew this truth, but when he thought that the duck in his mouth might fly away, he couldn't help but worry a little about gain and loss.
Suppressing his impatience, Murong Fu asked again, "What about Xiangyang City? Is there any news?"
"No."
"Sigh, how are A'Zhu and Wu Wei doing things? They can't handle a Xiangyang city after so long..." Murong Fu couldn't help complaining.
"Sir," the Blood Shadow Palace disciple hesitated and asked cautiously, "Since you are worried about the situation in Xiangyang City, why don't you go south?"
Not only him, but also the Blood Shadow Palace disciples who stayed in Dadu couldn't figure out this problem. Murong Fu knew that Xiangyang City was in danger, but he had no intention of going south. If he had any reason to stay, it didn't look like it.
ah.
Murong Fu smiled faintly and said, "No one has gone. If I go, I will be lowering my status and losing everything."
"This..." The Blood Shadow Palace disciples were confused when they heard this.
"I don't even understand this," Murong Fu rolled his eyes at him and explained, "The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty has been firmly seated in the capital from the beginning to the end, and he is also leisurely, elegant and has children and grandchildren. If I go back to Xiangyang City, I will lose my status.
, even if someone wins, the victory is not thorough enough.”
Only then did the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace understand what he meant, but they still had puzzled expressions on their faces. Defending Xiangyang City was the most important thing. Is it necessary to care about this?
Of course, although Murong Fu often did some shameless things, sometimes he was very concerned about face and would not do anything at all. In addition, apart from this, he himself had no respect for Xiangyang City and even for A'Zhu, Wu Wei and others.
People also have great confidence. Even without him, Xiangyang City will not be lost.
At this moment, an angry shout came from a distance, "Murong Fu!"
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and Han Ji glanced at Murong Fu. There was no other color on her face except resentment, and she seemed to be used to this scene.
Murong Fu also gave a wry smile and waved his hand, and the Blood Shadow Palace disciples bowed and left.
Not long after, a figure swept into the courtyard at high speed and stood not far away from Murong Fu. His eyes were as wide as bells, as if he wanted to bite the person in front of him to death.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Min.
Murong Fu spread his hands and said, "Auntie, what kind of temper are you having?"
Because of what happened in the palace a few days ago, Zhao Min still hasn't calmed down. She loses her temper at every turn. Not only does she not let him go to her bed, she also doesn't allow him to leave the palace even half a step.
Murong Fu had done something wrong, so he had no choice but to let it go and coax her for a while before talking. Seeing that the limelight was almost over, he didn't expect that it would suddenly become so popular today.
Zhao Min glared at him fiercely, said nothing, raised her hand and threw a piece of paper into his face.
"Is there news from Xiangyang City?" Murong Fu was stunned. Such a thought flashed through his mind. He then spread out the note. When he saw the content on the note, his expression immediately became strange. What was written on it was actually Wang Baobao.
Leading the army to obstruct the Western Region Allied Forces.
"How do you explain it?" Zhao Min said angrily, "Do you know that doing this will not only kill my brother, but also bury the entire Ruyang Prince's Palace with him? Do you want my family to be raided and beheaded!"
