Conspiracy

Chapter 65 Arrive in Kyoto but not enter

The pale pink lips were lightly pursed, and Juanxiu's eyebrows were involuntarily frowned, "My lord, on the way back just now, I found someone spreading rumors in the capital city, it seems that they want to smear Xiao Mohan on purpose."

"I'll go and kill them." Mo Sheng's eyes flashed red, revealing a faint killing intent.

"Let's wait and see." Su Zhen shook her head casually, "Besides, you are not in the demon world now, and I have helped you hide your demonic aura. Since you want to survive in the human world, you must abide by the rules here. Shouting, beating, and killing is very easy to cause trouble. Although we are not afraid, the king's heart is unpredictable, and now the Taifu's mansion is on the cusp of the storm, we can't bet on everyone's life."

It is human nature to weigh the pros and cons, to help is a matter of affection, not to help is a duty, and absolute words cannot be said.

Mo Sheng hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, "I see."

"My lord, haven't you been looking for news about the Xiao family? Why don't you help now?" Mo Chen's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

"It's not that we don't help, it's that we can't."

"Why is this?"

"The Xiao family is already in the limelight, and the military power and the people's hearts are in the hands. It is a taboo for the royal family and the court. If he wants to survive, he must bear the humiliation, endure the humiliation, and save his own life first. What's more, this time the West Liang was already defeated, but they easily entered Jiali Pass, but they didn't do anything unnecessary, there must be someone in the court secretly plotting. If Xiao Chuhong put all his eggs in one basket, his life would be in danger."

"The emperor should be aware of such things."

"Whether he knows or not depends on whether he is willing or not. What the emperor wants is military power. Now Mobei and Xiliang have suffered heavy losses. During the decades they recuperate, Luo Qi will only become stronger and stronger. How can he be afraid of them at that time?" ? It’s just that once Xiao Mohan dies, the army’s morale is still uncertain, and the emperor will definitely not send troops rashly again.”

Mo Sheng leaned on the tree with his arms around his chest and his sword in his arms. "Xiao Chuhong has a strong personality. He has been the favored son of heaven since he was a child. He is flattered by courtiers, and he is even more interested in the army. In addition, he used it on the battlefield. The art of war, or the formation of troops, all have the ruthlessness of seeing death as home, and it is difficult for him to bow his head."

"It's not that it's difficult, but it's simply impossible. If Xiao Chuhong is willing to compromise, it's not him."

Su Zhen's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help laughing out loud as she remembered something.

Luo Qi's army was stationed a hundred miles away from Kyoto the next day, and only generals entered the city later.

Along the way from the border, the voices of the people are divided, and there are mixed opinions.

During the war, it was common for the people to lose their homes and be displaced. Perhaps it was because they lived too comfortably under Xiao Mohan's protection these years.Especially in the city of Kyoto, it is even possible to keep the door open at night and not pick up lost items on the road.

However, in just a few days, under the instigation of people with good intentions, someone insisted on guiding the public opinion and pointed the finger at Xiao Mohan, vowing to make him truly ruined.

What the enemy country still failed to do was ruined by the courtiers' open struggle and conspiracy.When he is about to return with a big victory, completely obliterate everything about him.

All the soldiers had white cloths wrapped around their heads, and the generals in front were dressed in filial piety.The army passed by, but there was no sign of joy at returning from a great victory, and a sense of desolation and grief shrouded everyone's hearts.

They won the war that lasted seven years, but lost the god of war who had spent their whole life looking forward to their belief.

The vast majority of the people knelt on both sides of the road and wept bitterly.Sentence after sentence of 'Marshal Xiao has a good journey', 'Congratulations to Marshal Xiao for leading the army back to his hometown', 'Thank you Marshal Xiao for protecting the safety of my people in Luoqi' hurt the hearts of all soldiers.

Their eyes were sour, and tears were about to gush out many times, but they forcibly held back, straightened their backs and continued to move forward.

Xiao Chuhong was seriously injured, and had a high fever many times during the period, and he was still calling for Xiao Mohan in a daze.Xu was sick and confused, he saw Xiao Mohan walking towards him slowly, calling out in his heart, hoping that he would take them home, but it was a pity that the vague figure became thinner and completely disappeared from sight.
