Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1359 Conditions
The wine jar shattered with a crash, and the old man's words echoed in the air.

Ying Baoyue stared fixedly at the debris on the ground, but did not speak.

"What? Don't tell me that you were frightened by the old man's words," Mu You stared straight at her, his eyes dimmed.

"It's not likely, but I didn't expect you to say such a thing," Ying Baoyue raised his eyes, staring at the old man with white beard and hair in front of him, with a complicated expression.

Obviously he is the oldest cultivator today, and he has lived in this continent that looks down on women all his life. His thinking should be the most stubborn and conservative, but he put forward the idea of ​​making women king when there is no precedent in the Shanhai Continent.

Those who didn't know thought that Mu You was the time traveler.

"I thought you would never accept a woman as king."

"This old man knows that this idea is shocking." Mu You looked at the horoscope plate hanging above the bookshelf with indifferent eyes, "But the Mu family has served King Qin for several generations, and they are all men. What happened?"

If it wasn't for his strong man cutting off his wrist and sacrificing his eldest son to preserve the family, the current Mu family would probably be as bloodless as the Jin family.

"But even if the empire is destroyed and the whole family suffers, those former Qin survivors will never regard a woman as king," Ying Baoyue smiled wryly, "I saw those people with my own eyes in Nanchu."

Even though she ranks higher than Ying Xun and does everything better, she is still someone who can be abandoned at any time, not the treasure in the hearts of those people like Ying Xun.

"It's not like you would say that," Mu You glanced at her, "The former Qin princess risked the world's shame, not only practiced, but also participated in the primary and intermediate ceremonies, which is well known to the world."

"You are already the unique female leader in the world." Mu You took a deep breath, his voice was calm, "Before you, no one would think that a woman can become the leader."

Similarly, before her, no one would have dared to think that a woman could become a king.

"But I still don't understand." Ying Baoyue looked at him fixedly, "How could you want to bet your family's future on me when there is someone with a legitimate name change?"

In the battle for the throne, once you stand on the wrong side, you will be the one who ransacked your family and exterminated your family.

Although the royal family of the Ying family has withered, there are still two males in the direct line, and there is still an unknown in the stomach of Queen Ying Hanri.

In the case of two princes, Mu You, as a veteran of the three dynasties, would choose to be the princess. If the news spread, the former Qin ministers would probably think he was crazy.

"The old man didn't say to stand," Mu You said indifferently as he touched the wine jar.

He glanced outside the house, and when he said that sentence, he had already pulled down the barrier and set up a formation, and no one could hear the conversation between them.

Mu You said lightly, "The old man is just testing you now."

Ying Baoyue was choked up and coughed, and he was able to say the temptation so directly, there was no one else in this world except him.

"I'm not that stupid for carrying the lives of my entire family on my back." Mu You glanced at her and sneered, "You haven't even made up your mind to fight, how can this old man bet his wealth and life?"

Ying Baoyue coughed again, she looked at her left hand, "I just don't understand, why do you think so highly of me?"

Mu You said he was probing, so when did this probing start?

The illusion at the beginning allowed everyone to relive their happiest memories. Did Mu You want to see the true desire in her heart through this formation?

Was his first sentence from the heart again?

Or is he just testing her for the lord he really wants to serve, to see if she has any ambition to take the throne?

Ying Baoyue fixedly looked at the friend in front of her, he was her friend, but one thing must not be forgotten, he was also the helm of the Mu family.

Being able to maintain the family for hundreds of years, as the head of the Mu family, Mu You has already matured.

"You are still as thoughtful as before." Mu You looked at Ying Baoyue with a normal face and smiled, "A normal princess should be overjoyed to be so favored by others?"

"An ordinary princess should be scared to death when she comes here," Ying Baoyue smiled faintly, "Even if the minister wanted to support a puppet regency, he wouldn't make such a crazy choice."

Mu You laughed loudly, then narrowed his eyes, "I know what you're worried about."

What he is doing now is indeed a big gamble.

But the turmoil in the former Qin Dynasty is imminent. Even if the Mu family hides in the mountains, how long can they hide?
There are no eggs under the covering nest.

Just like the Xirong people invaded the Mu family's territory today, if the former Qin was really destroyed, then the Mu family would definitely be found by digging three feet, and there would never be peace.

If the Mu family wants to survive for a long time, the only choice is to become the servant of the dragon again.

"You should also understand that it's time for the Mu family to stand in line," Mu You stared deeply at Ying Baoyue, "If you come one month later, the old man will be ready to meet the people from Nanchu. .”

Ying Baoyue was slightly startled, and smiled wryly, "Sure enough, you were planning to choose Xun'er before."

In terms of the order of succession to the throne, Ying Xun is indeed not as orthodox as Ying Hanri's future son, but as long as Ying Xun kills the second emperor and seeks to usurp the throne, the emperor Taizu had already secretly ordered his eldest son Yingsu to succeed him, but was rejected by the second emperor. The emperor got in the way and denied the legitimacy of Ying Hao's succession from the beginning of Ying Hao, so as the son of the eldest son of the emperor, Ying Xun's succession order would be higher than Ying Hanri's Lao Tzu.

In a sense, Ying Xun is indeed the best choice for the former Qin family, and it can be said that he is the chosen one.

"Wrong," but Mu You shook his head upon hearing the words, "I have no choice but to choose Mr. Ying Xun."

"If the old man is really optimistic about Mr. Ying Xun, he will go to Southern Chu with his family seven years ago."

Mu You's eyes were deep, and the sooner something like Conglong had happened, the better, and now the seat next to Ying Xun has already been filled.

"Then why don't you go?" Ying Baoyue narrowed her eyes, "With the status of the Mu family, even if you only join now, you can occupy a place beside Xun'er."

Mu You slowly raised his head to look at her, "I've already said the reason just now, because I don't believe it."

Ying Baoyue was startled.

"You are right, if the Mu family is willing to take refuge, Mr. Xun will definitely hold the Mu family in high regard," Mu You said lightly.

No matter whether Ying Xun really respected him or not, how much dissatisfaction the former Qin survivors around him had with the later Mu family, before Ying Xun sat on the throne, this group of people could only bear with it.

Because they need the strength of the Mu family.

Before Ying Xun became king, the Mu family could be very beautiful, and it needed to be more beautiful.

Ying Xun has great righteousness, as long as Ying Han makes some more mistakes and plans a group attack, it is only a matter of time before Ying Xun becomes King of Qin.

Of course, the premise is that the former Qin Dynasty was not annexed by other countries before that.

It is true that the Mu family can once again become the servants of the dragon, but what about after that?

Besides, he was just a former King of Qin.

There was a hint of arrogance on the old man's face, "The old man has long since stopped caring about anything."

The Mu family even supported the emperor, so what is the preferential treatment of a former Qin king before he ascended the throne?
"The Mu family has already enjoyed enough glory." Mu You looked deeply into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "What the Mu family needs is a king who won't break promises and kill heroes."

What the Mu family needs is security, tranquility, and unity.

Once upon a time, Emperor Taizu Emperor Yingdi also promised him the same.

The results of it?
Mu You paused word by word.

"The man from the Ying family, the old man no longer believes in him."

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, "No."

Mu You was taken aback.

"How do you know that I won't turn my back on the Mu family after I succeed?" Ying Baoyue suddenly opened her eyes and fixed her gaze on him, "Women are even more resistant when they are kings. After ascending the throne, in order to ensure that the power is in hand, maybe it will be even more difficult. crazy."

"Don't tell me that you believe in my nature," Ying Baoyue said coldly. In court struggles, this is the most stupid behavior.

In the face of interests and royal power, people's hearts are changeable.

Emperor Taizu was different before and after he ascended the throne.

It is impossible for Mu You, who has experienced the ups and downs of three dynasties, to fail to understand the simplest truth.

"Sometimes I really wish you weren't so calm and sober," Mu You sighed.

"That's right," the old man looked into her eyes meaningfully, "I do have other conditions."

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes and looked outside the door, "This condition...is related to Mr. Mu Qi?"

The old man's pupils contracted slightly, and he laughed, "The old man really didn't miss it, you really understand everything."

"However, if you don't like the seventh boy, you can choose from other boys in this house," Mu You laughed.

But the next moment the old man suppressed his smile, and took a deep look at Ying Baoyue, "It's just that he must be a man from the Mu family."

"After you ascend the throne in the future, the father of your first child should be a man from the Mu family."

　Don't feel cruel, Mu You is not a pure politician anymore, this conversation is already very kind
