Chapter 215 Wouldn’t that mean you have to bear the blame yourself?
Xiao Chen stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"This... This is too sudden!"
Xiao Mu sighed lightly, his face full of helplessness, and his apology to Liu Yunniang deepened. He knew what Yunniang was thinking, and this must have been the work of His Majesty.
Mo Feng stated in the letter that His Majesty's order for them to leave the capital and head for the northwest after their marriage was also a deliberate cover-up, not only from the people in the capital, but also from the spies of Rongdi.
Thinking about the day of his wedding with Yunniang, on which he was not there and a strange man pretended to be him, Xiao Mu felt jealousy and regret surge in his heart.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mu’s face became even gloomier.
"Uncle, what should we do? Is everything okay with my aunt?"
Xiao Chen asked cautiously.
aunt?
Xiao Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I am sorry for her in this matter. Let's not talk about it for now. The matter of Langchuan cannot be delayed any longer."
Xiao Mu was filled with guilt, but now that things had come to this, all he could do was to eliminate all the hidden dangers before she came to the northwest.
Xiao Mu forced himself to suppress the guilt and complex emotions he felt towards Liu Yunniang and turned his attention back to the affairs of Langchuan.
"Chen'er, now we must speed up the deployment of the plan to deal with Langchuan. Although the sudden marriage and arrangement by His Majesty caught us off guard, it also helped us invisibly. Langchuan will definitely ascend the throne before I come to the northwest. As long as Langchuan is not eliminated, the northwest will not have peace."
Xiao Mu said with a serious expression.
Xiao Chen nodded,
Uncle is right, so what should we do now? "
Xiao Mu walked to the desk again and looked at the canyon 20 kilometers outside Liangcheng on the topographic map.
"Proceed as planned. Have people continue to bury gunpowder in the canyon. Archers must be well hidden. At the same time, send out spies to closely monitor the movements of Langchuan. Hu Yan's Queen has already contacted other tribes in private to nominate her youngest son Saihu to ascend the throne. Langchuan must have known the news. If he shows signs of heading towards Xiguan City, we will act immediately. Mo Yu, have people prepare in advance. I'm afraid we have to move up our plan."
Mo Yu responded,
"Okay, I will make arrangements now."
After saying that, Mo Yu turned around and left, starting to prepare to deal with Langchuan.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Xiao Chen's cough broke the solemn atmosphere in the room. Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Mu immediately turned to look at Xiao Chen, his eyes full of worry.
"Chen'er, are you sick again?"
Xiao Mu hurriedly walked to Xiao Chen and patted him on the back gently.
Xiao Chen tried hard to stop coughing, his face looked a little pale.
"Uncle, I'm fine. Maybe I didn't sleep well these days. I just need some rest."
Xiao Mu frowned, but he was very uneasy. He knew that Xiao Chen had not been in good health since he was a child. Although he had been carefully recuperating over the years and had received Master Xuankong's prescription for recuperation a few years ago, the asthma problem remained.
"Don't be so stubborn. Although your body is much better now and you can practice martial arts, you still need to be more careful. Don't rush into martial arts training."
Xiao Mu said earnestly.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, not wanting Xiao Mu to worry about him.
"Uncle, I understand. I will take care of my health."
Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Chen's pale face, his heart full of pity. Perhaps, the pills Xiao Xiao gave him...
Those pills are said to have many benefits for the body. He thought to himself that maybe he could let Xiao Chen try these pills.
Forget it, let’s wait until Yunniang and the others come to the Northwest!
"Chen'er, go and have a rest first. Your uncle is here for Langchuan's affairs, so don't worry too much."
Xiao Mu said gently.
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Yes, Chen'er will take his leave."
Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Chen's departing back with a complicated look in his eyes.
In the following days, Xiao Mu was even busier preparing plans to deal with Langchuan.
He constantly discussed strategies with his generals and arranged training for his soldiers to ensure that every link was foolproof.
Compared to the tranquility of Liangcheng, Rongdi has been very lively these days.
The reason is simple. The current leader of Rongdi, Hu Yan, has been summoning leaders of various tribes frequently these days, but has yet to summon his own brother.
In addition, his queen consort was trying to win people's hearts everywhere, and he was afraid that Hu Yan was behind it.
Yes, although his eldest son was disabled and had no chance of ascending the throne, his youngest son Saihu was a smart and courageous man.
Saihu has been intelligent since childhood, but she just turned ten this year. If Hu Yan lives a few more years, I'm afraid Saihu's position as heir will be secure.
Hu Yan frequently summoned the leaders of various tribes, but ignored his own brother.
In this situation, Saihu began to secretly observe the movements of all parties. On the one hand, he had some deep meanings in this, which had aroused speculation from everyone.
But it's understandable! After all, a younger brother is not as close as a son. It's normal to want to pass the throne to a son and pave the way in advance.
At this time, Langchuan also noticed the change in the situation. He was angry and dissatisfied with Hu Yan's behavior. Rongdi had no heirs, and the brave had always been the king.
Hu Yan's move was clearly an attempt to deliberately suppress himself and pave the way for his son, without even considering what his useless son was capable of.
Langchuan began to secretly gather his forces, preparing to launch a counterattack at the critical moment.
As time went on, the conflicts within Rongdi became increasingly acute.
The leaders of the tribes also began to take sides, some supporting Hu Yan's youngest son Saihu, and some supporting Langchuan. The entire Rongdi fell into chaos.
Xiao Mu paid close attention to the situation in Rongdi. He knew that this was a rare opportunity.
If we can take advantage of the internal conflicts among Rongdi and weaken their strength, the situation in the northwest will be more stable.
Langchuan must be eliminated, and Rongdi must also be destroyed.
Xiao Mu summoned the secret guards, gave them some instructions secretly, and asked them to leave.
No one knew that from that night on, the decline of Rongdi officially began.
In just three days, the leaders of the three neighboring tribes of Langchuan were all assassinated.
This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar among Rongdi.
The tribes were in a panic, speculating who was behind this. Langchuan was furious. Although these three people did not get along with him, he would have felt very happy if it were the past.
"Waste, have you found out? Who did it?"
"I am incompetent and have not found out yet. However, people from other tribes suspect that it was you, the leader, who did it."
Langchuan's eyes were wide open with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table next to him. These three people were being assassinated at this moment, and they were all the confidants of the Queen Mother's party. Wouldn't it be like he was being forced to bear the blame himself?
"Humph, that bastard Hu Yan must have deliberately framed me. Pass the order down, strengthen the tribe's defense, and thoroughly investigate this matter. If you have any clues, report immediately."
The bearded man responded,
"Yes, Chief." Then he turned around to make arrangements.
