Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 2213 Frankness, Contradiction (Subscription Request)

How to say it, Meng Zhao's request was both within Xie Wanzhi's expectations and beyond his expectations.

Xie Wanzhi was mentally prepared to deal with the murderer. After all, this was the purpose, or one of the purposes, of Meng Zhao inviting him to Lingwu City.

But, it was also obvious that this was naturally very good for his reputation, and it gave him a lot of face, and the halo around him became even heavier, but there were not many restrictions. After all, he would never set traps for himself or tie his own hands and feet, and outsiders could not influence him.

But, Meng Zhao has no reason to do this. Ah, he has done a good thing, and he has left his name on the property. What does Meng Zhao want to do then?

"King Menglong, please tell me what you want to do!"

Xie Wanzhi was really a little scared. He always felt that something was wrong here, that there was some big trap, and that Meng Zhao was here specifically to trick him.

Of course, what he suspected most was the identity of the murderer. Could it be that he was someone affiliated with the Lord of the Demon Palace? If he killed the murderer, would it be like giving Meng Zhao the blame?

Meng Zhao's originally solemn and cold face was once again filled with a bright smile.

"Haha, Grandmaster Xie is indeed smart. I won't hide it from you. This murderer who committed numerous bloody crimes is one of the former generals of our dynasty, Yu Changkong, and he is also a close confidant of the current emperor Beitang Sheng. The current commander of the palace guards, Yu Huashen, is this man's son."

"What, how is that possible?"

  Xie Wanzhi was so frightened that he almost jumped up. It was not that he could not keep his composure, but the news Meng Zhao brought him was too shocking. It almost made his head smoke. How could he calm down?

He had also heard of Yu Changkong. He was not only the current emperor's confidant, but also the former emperor's confidant. He could be considered a veteran of two dynasties.

However, he didn't understand what had happened to Yu Changkong and why he had fallen from a high-ranking official in the imperial court to such a murderer who had committed numerous bloody crimes and was even in danger of being killed.

  Also, since Yu Changkong’s identity is so special, why not capture him but kill him instead?

"Why not? The twelfth prince of the current emperor, Beitang Xing, died in our northern land. If his son Beitang Sheng could die, why can't a mere subordinate and confidant die?"

Xie Wanzhi had calmed down by now and realized that Meng Zhao was definitely not holding back and that his intentions were sinister. He lacked respect for the court and the emperor and had a rebellious nature.

"That's not the case. I mean, Yu Changkong is a former general, a high-ranking official in the court, and he should have become a great master in martial arts. There is no reason for him to do something that will only damage his reputation and has no benefit at all!"

"Of course he didn't want to do that. Don't forget the existence of the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

In fact, Yu Changkong came to the Northland this time to fight against the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace with another royal master. Unfortunately, he failed to complete the task and was defeated. In the end, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace even controlled his mind with magic power and turned him into a puppet. "

Xie Wanzhi suddenly realized that even though Meng Zhao's words were broad, general and vague, the general meaning was still clearly expressed.

But, precisely because of this, he felt that this was a big pit. Meng Zhao himself was unwilling to take over, so how could he be willing?

"Well, there's actually no need to kill him. After all, he did it for a reason, not out of his own will. Why doesn't King Meng Long capture him and remove the control of the Heavenly Demon Palace Master over him, and then seek credit from the court?"

  This is a very common idea. When people see benefits, they will take advantage of them. He didn't believe that they would not show any appreciation after helping the imperial court, Beitang Sheng, and even Yu Changkong.

Meng Zhao certainly knew this truth, however, the so-called rewards were nothing to him and were of no use at all.

  Besides, he doesn't need this kind of reward at all. After all, they will fall out sooner or later, so why bother maintaining this hypocritical illusion?

Furthermore, even if the imperial court rewarded him, Beitang Sheng would still be wary of him in the future, and might even take action to deal with him and weaken his power.

He knew that the future would be like this, so he must take the initiative to weaken the power of the imperial court and Beitang Sheng, rather than just sit and wait and lick their boots.

  "Do you think that with my current identity, status, power, and military strength, the court will trust me and allow me to continue to grow?

It's impossible. Not to mention that I saved a mere Yu Changkong, even if I had saved the twelfth prince Beitang Xing, I would still be suspected, weakened, or even have my property confiscated and my clan exterminated in the future.

It's not because I have any rebellious intentions, but because I pose such a threat, I must be eliminated. You are from the Nine Surnames, so you should understand this principle."

Xie Wanzhi was not as flustered as before, because Meng Zhao discussed these things with him so frankly, which gave him a sense of closeness.

  What the hell, I was clearly dissatisfied with Meng Zhao before, but how come after just a few words, it felt like we were in the same boat and felt so close?

But he had to admit that he still agreed with what Meng Zhao said.

Since ancient times, there have actually been many similar examples. Even if one appears to be very loyal and capable, and is very important to the country, if he or she has the power to threaten the upper echelons, he or she will inevitably be regarded as a thorn in the eye and will be severely punished and dealt with.

Otherwise, the phrase "the achievements are greater than the master" would not have come into being.

Meng Zhao is not more powerful than his master, but he is stronger than his master. If in the future he becomes a supreme god or demon with a million troops and integrates the forces in the north, it will be a doomsday disaster for the Beitang royal family and the Dayong Dynasty.

In fact, even if he does not have such power, but only has a little such potential and prospects, Meng Zhao will still be regarded as the main target of surveillance, supervision, and crackdown.

Beitang Sheng is not blind or stupid. He has already started to deal with Meng Zhao and the Meng family a long time ago.

  Naturally, the result was not satisfactory. It facilitated the marriage between the Meng family and the Seven Star Tower, and indirectly enabled Meng Zhao to go to Yanzhou, where he gained many fortunes. It was an important turning point in his life, and a turning point in a good direction!

However, with such behavior and such awareness, Beitang Sheng is destined not to give up easily.

Emperor Beitang Shengshi, the supreme being, could not possibly bow his head. Meng Zhao was also a young hero, with unparalleled martial arts skills and the seed of the supreme being. His knees were not weak, so it was obvious that he could not kneel down either.

Naturally, this contradiction is difficult to reconcile.

When Xie Wanzhi thought about it, he understood what Meng Zhao meant.

Regardless of whether Yu Changkong is retired or not, he has always been a close confidant of Beitang Sheng. He is especially skilled in martial arts and has become a grandmaster of martial arts. He must be one of the best under the influence of the Beitang royal family.

If he died in the north, it would definitely be a huge blow to Beitang Sheng and the Beitang royal family.
