Sitting in the Chengdu Palace, looking at the military reports from the front line, Xu Mu's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and handed it to the puppy Fu next to him in the flickering candlelight.
"Mi Taoism." The puppy Fu just faded away from his youthful face, and then also showed anger.
Previously, in order to encircle and suppress the demon queen, Mi Taoism joined the coalition forces and was almost killed by the Cangzhou army. Several heavenly masters also died on the battlefield.
But now, Mi Taoism is popular in the three states of Donglai. Until this time, he rescued Jiang Meng from Beiyu by pretending to be a white merchant ship.
"Gou Fu, tell me."
"Before, there was information about the Mi Taoist disciples. But I never thought that these people would directly oppose Xi Shu like this. I guess that the leader of the Mi Taoism is most likely to be used by others.
.”
Xu Mu was silent for a moment. He guessed that it was probably not Beiyu. If it was really Beiyu, he would not have waited until the entire East Route naval reserve was exhausted before taking action.
He believed Xiao Qiaofu's analysis that there must be someone behind Mi Dao Tu.
Who could it be?
Dongfang Jing has already said in the letter that at this time, Yuan Chong can be invited out to clean up the Taoist disciples.
After Shentu Guan led his troops to defect to Beiyu, Yuan Chong had already gone south to Xishu. Of course, if Shentu Guan had been more cruel, I am afraid that this little Prince Yuan, who still has the blood of Daji, would have died in Donglai.
.
However, the premise of all this, according to Dongfang Jing, is to make sure that Yuan Chong, the former King of Donglai, was not involved in the affairs of Mi Taoist disciples.
"Gou Fu, you go back and rest first."
Puppy Fu clasped his fists, turned around and walked away.
Xu Mu walked out of the palace and took Sun Xun, who was picking his feet, towards Chengdu Nancheng before it got dark.
Different from Changyuan Street, Wank Street in the south of the city can be considered luxurious. But most of the people living here are people like Xiyu, such as Lou Zhu, Xiyu Xiuzi, Bingzhou Xiaowang, etc. Of course
, and Yuan Chong, the former King of Donglai.
Huang Zhizhou also lived here before, but he probably didn't like it and moved out with only a bookboy.
"King of Shu?" In front of the Yuan Mansion, Yan Tang was walking back. After seeing Xu Mu, he ran over in surprise.
"What's the matter? How have you been lately?" Xu Mu smiled. Everyone in Western Shu was familiar with Yan Tang, so Xu Mu simply let him serve as an official.
"Thank you so much to the King of Shu for not giving up and reusing me, a rootless person."
"Just kidding, we are all brothers."
Yan Tang wiped his tears with his sleeves and nodded, "I came to Wanke Street today because I wanted to see my sworn brother. In the past few days, he must have had nightmares, and the coldness invaded his body, and he fell ill all of a sudden.
Already."
"Sick?" Xu Mu frowned.
"King Shu, wait a moment, I'll send someone to pass the news right away."
"Go ahead."
Xu Mu's expression was a little cold. After Yuan Chong entered Shu, he gave him the greatest dignity. He also treated him with food and drink expenses. If Yuan Chong really had a problem, it had something to do with the Mi Taoism in Donglai...
Xu Mu clenched his fist coldly.
"Invite the King of Shu to enter the palace." Yan Tangfu walked out, with a hint of sadness hidden in the corners of his eyes.
"Yan Tang, come in together."
…
When he walked into the main room of the mansion, Xu Mu looked up and realized that Yuan Chong was getting off the bed with a pale face. He was probably unable to withstand the wind and was trembling a little.
"Yuan Chong pays homage to the King of Shu."
"My nephew, please get up. I heard that my nephew is seriously ill, and I was worried, so I came here specially. Sun Xun, send someone to invite Dr. Chen over."
Upon hearing the name "Miracle Doctor Chen", Yuan Chong's expression changed drastically.
Xu Mu saw all of this. Unlike his father Yuan Song, little Yuan Zi could actually see through his thoughts at a glance. Even Yan Tang, who was standing next to him, suddenly frowned.
"King Shu, I'm fine now. Look at me, I'll be fine today." Yuan Chong stood up in a hurry, even twisting his body a few times in front of Xu Mu.
Xu Mu's eyes turned cold.
Information about Mi Taoist disciples had just been sent back from the front line, and Yuan Chong suddenly pretended to be ill.
"Yan Tang, close the door."
Yan Tang was silent for a while, then drove the servants out of the house and closed the door of the main room.
With more than a dozen guards, Sun Xun held his head high and lowered his hand, holding his sword. As long as Xu Mu gave the order, he would kill the person.
"Yuan Chong." Xu Mu spoke. This time, he did not call him "nephew", but directly addressed him by his first name.
Just two words made the standing Yuan Chong sweat like rain. He fell to his knees and burst into tears.
"Lord...what are you..." Yan Tang vaguely understood something, and his body could not help but tremble slightly. In Western Shu, the biggest disaster is rebellion and backstabbing. Previously, Huang Zhizhou betrayed Western Shu
At that time, the people of Chengdu even built more than a dozen kneeling temples, making Huang Zhizhou reviled for eternity.
"King Shu, what happened?" Yan Tang calmed his tone, knelt down beside him, cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"Our navy on the front line of Western Shu lost the war because of the appearance of Mi Taoist disciples."
"King Shu, I also heard about the battle on the front line in the official office. I heard that hundreds of warships and more than 20,000 soldiers in Beiyu were destroyed. This is a great victory."
"Yan Tang, you don't understand." Xu Mu sighed. His and Dongfang Jing's plan was to kill Jiang Meng and let Beiyu let nature take its course and replace the East Road general.
Now, due to the disturbance caused by Mi Dao Tu, Jiang Meng fled back to Kezhou.
"Then King Shu...why is this?"
"Mi Taoism has become popular in Donglai recently. Moreover, it gathers momentum very quickly and responds to hundreds of responses." Xu Mu said coldly.
Yan Tang was not a fool. After listening to Xu Mu's words, his eyes widened and he looked at Yuan Chong next to him in shock. The war had just been broken out, and then, his little sworn brother... all of a sudden pretended to be sick again.
How could such a stupid plan be concealed from the King of Shu in front of him!
"Beiyu's plan caused you to change the masters of the three states of Donglai. And I, Xishu, thought of your father's face in fighting side by side, so I let you enter Shu to protect you from death and allow you to live in this big mansion in Chengdu.
Here, there is also a monthly salary. I, Xu Mu, even if I raise a dog and give it a bone, it will definitely not bite me back!"
"Yuan Chong, you are so brave! First there was the matter of Huang Zhizhou, and then it was your turn, right?"
Yuan Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears for a moment, trembling with his hands and slapping himself repeatedly.
"King Shu, it was me who was confused, it was all me who was confused! I shouldn't have believed what they said!"
"Let's talk about it one by one." Xu Mu said calmly, asked Sun Xun to bring up a chair, and sat down coldly.
"My lord...you are confused, why don't you tell me now." Yan Tang hated the iron, and even vaguely wanted to curse. Looking at the whole world, if Xishu hadn't protected them, they would have been like lost dogs, panicking all day long.
Shentu Guan? Maybe he didn’t kill him at the time, but he defected to Beiyu and had a new position. How could he care about them? And the little military advisor in Beiyu, how could he let a King Yuan of Donglai live in the world?
Disaster later.
Yan Tang is not a fool.
"King of Shu, brother... I have fallen into a trap!" Yuan Chong raised his head, his face was extremely aggrieved, and he burst into tears.
