In fact, what Mu Qiuhuang relied on was nothing else but the news he had Wu Xin bring out before. The news he asked Wu Xin to bring out was that Wu Biran invited him to travel to Miao territory with Ji Ruoxue. Although Miao Jiang was in

On the surface, it seems that he has nothing to do with the Nanzhaohou Mansion. Even if something happens to him in the Miao Territory, Nanzhaohou cannot be blamed. But...he secretly entered the Miao Territory without permission, and he was subject to the Wu family.

The Crown Prince invited him to come to Miao territory, which are two completely different concepts. Even if something happened to the former, it was his own fault. But the latter was completely different. Even if he was invited, the person who invited him would have to treat him accordingly.

Although it is a bit unreasonable to say this, don’t forget, what is Mu Qingen’s nickname? It’s “Madman Mu”. Expecting a “madman” to be reasonable...the result is also conceivable.

.

Therefore, Mu Qiuhuang felt that with Wu Kuang's temperament, he might not care about his own son's safety, but he might not dare to even risk his own life...

However, this is just Mu Qiuhuang's wishful thinking to comfort himself. Although he has no doubts about his father, but also...Nan Zhaohou Wu Kuang, the Marquis nicknamed "Old Thief", he is not sure that,

He can completely figure out the opponent. After all, he is a figure as famous as his father and his father-in-law. Since Wu Kuang, the Marquis of Nanzhao, dared to openly send troops to prevent Marquis Xilie from becoming the King of Qin in the third year of Long Qian, it at least explains one thing.

, that is, his Nan Zhao Army is not afraid of a battle with the Xi Lie Army. And there is another thing that Mu Qiuhuang has always puzzled about.

Among the current distribution of forces in the world, the three princes of Nanzhao, Xilie, and Beiyu are recognized as having the strongest comprehensive strength. However, this is where Mu Qiuhuang is puzzled. Putting aside military power for the moment, let’s talk about

In terms of power in the world, the masters of the realm are now known to all as the Qinglian Sword Immortal, the Taoist Sword Immortal, the Chi Sword Immortal, Wudang Zhang Fuling and his newly promoted Sword Immortal Master. In other words, the Golden Pagoda

There are only a few top masters in total. Qinglian Sword Immortal and Dao Sword Immortal have already made it clear that they belong to the camp of Xi Liehou Mansion. Needless to say, Dao Jiuhuang has such a level of master and disciple with him.

Naturally, they are familiar with his Beiyuhou Mansion, and the same goes for Gu Chenyuan, the Crazy Sword Immortal. Although he has not clearly belonged to which camp, but in terms of close relationship, it is naturally his Beiyuhou Mansion that bears the brunt. And through him, Zhang Fuling is exposed

With his understanding, if Zhang Fuling really wants to rely on a certain prince, his Beiyuhou Mansion must also have an innate advantage... In other words, the Nanzhaohou Mansion has no way of grasping the top power in the world. Then the question arises.

, how can he solve this shortcoming in terms of strength at the top of the world? In other words, what is his trump card that he is not afraid of the Xiliehou Mansion and the Beiyuhou Mansion? Although this Heaven Realm master is

On the front, he can't compete with the large army of cavalry, but if he is determined to carry out assassinations, he will definitely be one of the best. Could it be said that Nan Zhaohou Wu Kuang is not afraid that the two of them will convince these heavenly officials?

Realm master, take action to assassinate him?

While Mu Qiuhuang was thinking, Ji Ruoxue and Dong Xue also walked out of the cave one after another. I don't know if it was because of Ji Ruoxue's pill before, or because Dongxue had changed into clean clothes. In short, she

His complexion looks much better than before.

"How is your injury?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

Hearing this, Dong Xue glanced at Ji Ruoxue gratefully and said, "Thanks to the mistress's elixir, it shouldn't be a problem for my subordinates to return to their peak within ten days."

"Yes. This puts me at ease." Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but nodded, and at the same time glanced at Ji Ruoxue with gratitude.

Dongxue suddenly knelt down on the ground and confessed: "Dongxue is dead, and the young master and mistress are put in danger..."

"What are you doing?" Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly helped Dongxue up, pretending to be dissatisfied: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you? We all need to live well and live happily... As for the danger?

Aren’t we very safe now? Those Miao people will just besiege but not attack for a while.

, and there are deep forests and lush leaves on this mountain, so there should be no shortage of food. The most important thing you should do now is to take good care of your injuries. When you recover to your peak, we will join hands to fight out..."

"Kill out?" Wu Biran listened to Mu Qiuhuang's words and couldn't help but sneered: "Mu Shizi is so loud. If you really have the ability to kill all the Miao people at the foot of the mountain and rush out, don't forget to take your younger brother with you.

A journey..."

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue glanced at Wu Biran with slight dissatisfaction. Mu Qiuhuang did not pay much attention to him, but took Ji Ruoxue and Dong Xue elsewhere.

When Wu Biran saw this, he didn't bother to pay attention. He turned over and basked in the sun by himself, obviously resigned to his current situation.

After leaving Wu Biran, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but ask: "Why are you trapped here? Is there any news about Mr. Gu?"

"Yes." Dongxue nodded and began to report to Mu Qiuhuang everything that happened after she entered Miao territory.

————————————————————————————————

Nan Zhaohou Mansion.

Although Nan Zhaohou Wu Kuang is a few years older than Mu Qingen and Ji Yuan, he has only reached the age of knowing his destiny this year. However, his overall appearance looks older than his actual age.

He looks older. His hair is already gray and the wrinkles on his face are deep. He is not very tall. Although his skin is fair, he does not have the slightest aura of elegance on his body. Instead, he has a look in his eyes.

A bit vicious... giving people a feeling that it is difficult to get along with him.

Coincidentally, Nan Zhaohou Wu Kuang was also lying in the garden of the Hou Mansion basking in the sun at this time.

It is the cold winter at this time, although the overall temperature in Nanzhao is much higher than that in Beiyu. The number of snowfalls in winter is also very few, but at this time, in a huge garden, there are only a few clusters of greenery.

Apart from the ornamental bamboos, there were no other flowers to enjoy. However, looking at Wu Kuang's appearance at this time, it was obvious that he was not lying in the garden just to enjoy the flowers. Perhaps a big reason was because of the flowers in the garden.

The sun is warmer!

Wu Kuang was currently lying on a rocking chair with his eyes narrowed and his legs crossed, facing the sun. In one of his hands, he was holding a strange-looking bracelet, although he didn't know what the beads on the bracelet were.

But one thing is certain, this bead is definitely not a Buddhist bead. Another thing worth mentioning is that the rocking chair under Wu Kuang has probably been with him for many years, because the armrests and footrests are

The paint color on it has fallen off, revealing the true color of the wood, and it still looks extremely smooth. Next to Wu Kuang, there are two young maids squatting, one holding a plate with snacks, and the other holding a cup in his hand.

A small teapot...Looking at Wu Kuang's appearance at this time, he no longer looked like a powerful prince, but rather like a local rich man who could settle down with a small amount of wealth.

However, no matter how unbearable he looks on the outside, there is no doubt about his identity, ability and skill.

Just when Wu Kuang was squinting his eyes and enjoying the winter sunshine quietly, a burst of slightly hasty footsteps suddenly appeared, breaking the tranquility and leisure.

"Master Hou."

The person who came was an old man. He bowed and saluted Wu Kuang. However, he did not stand in front of Wu Kuang and salute. Instead, he stood to the side. I think it was because he had followed Wu Kuang for many years and knew that he did not like to bask in the sun.

, being blocked from the sun.

When Wu Kuang heard this, he waved to the two little maids beside him.

"What's wrong?" Wu Kuang asked warmly. He did not show any dissatisfaction at being interrupted, because he knew that since the old man could choose to appear at this time, he must have crucial news to report.

"I am very happy to report to you, Lord Marquis." The old man calmed down his emotions slightly, then took out an envelope and handed it to Wu Kuang. Then he reported: "There is news from Kyoto that General Xiahou Xuanba intends to rebel.

, has been executed in the palace by the young emperor. At the same time, the whereabouts of Prime Minister Xiahou Wenyuan are unknown, and the young emperor has also issued a sea arrest document."

"What?" Wu Kuang suddenly sat up after hearing the news. After opening the envelope and taking a look at the contents, his expression also changed suddenly.

After a long time, Wu Kuang asked: "What is the situation in Kyoto now?"

"I haven't received any new news yet." The old man replied truthfully: "It will take nearly a month at the earliest before the news comes back from Kyoto. I think this happened a month ago. However, the news said that this time

The charges against the Xiahou clan were drawn up by Lou Guanlan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. It seems that he should have taken the most credit in this matter. However, the young emperor did not let Lou Guanlan take over the position of prime minister. Analysis by his subordinates

, is the Situ clan about to make a comeback, and the position of prime minister was reserved by the little emperor for Situ Buqi?"

"No." Wu Kuang shook his head and affirmed: "If nothing unexpected happens, Lou Guanlan will definitely take over the position of prime minister. Don't forget that the founder of Longhu Mountain, Boya Zhenren, left a prophecy: 'Fen Sixth World'

As for Guocheng, ten years of age will change. It’s only been a few years now. Situ, an old fox, will definitely not sacrifice his life for Dayou anymore when he knows that Dayou is dead..."

"Master Hou is wise." the old man boasted.

Wu Kuang rubbed his forehead and ordered: "Continue to investigate. Within a month, I want to know the specific whereabouts of Xiahou Wenyuan."

"yes."

"And..." Wu Kuang looked at the old man and said, "You just reminded me that after the young emperor gets rid of the Xiahou clan, he should ask Situ to come back and take charge of the overall situation. And with the temperament of the old fox Situ,

I should have slipped out of Fengling City long ago..."

Wu Kuang said solemnly: "You have to do this yourself. You must find the whereabouts of Situ Buqi. Later, I will write a personal letter to you. At that time, you can fully represent me and do everything you can to

There is a way to convince him to come to Nanzhao..."

"Yes." The old man nodded, and then asked, "What if he doesn't agree?"

Wu Kuang glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to use him, I will kill him."

"I understand." The old man nodded.

"Also, send more manpower and be sure to pay close attention to the movements of Xi Lie and Beiyu. Think about it, when we receive this news again, Madman Mu and Ji Yuan should have also received the news..."

"I understand," the old man continued.

"Haha..." Wu Kuang burst into laughter suddenly and said: "It seems... that by the time of the little emperor, his luck in Ying's family has been exhausted. The little emperor was so stupid that he killed Xiahou. This is the same as annihilating his ancestors.

What's the difference between Sheji and Sheji?..."

When the old man saw this, he also laughed along with him.

After laughing for a while, Wu Kuang asked: "By the way, where is Ran'er?"

"Your Majesty went to the Third Young Master," the old man said.

"Well, that's fine."

Wu Kuang nodded and said: "It is also time to clear out the forces of other princes in Wanjinfang City. Yong'er is more than brave but lacks strategy. It is best for Ran'er to do this."

"There is a prince in Wanjinfang City who personally performs the formation, so it should be absolutely foolproof." The old man agreed.
