Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

"Really, how will you know if you don't try!"

As he spoke, Sikong Mingyue raised his fists, and Yan Mu also showed his momentum.Seeing that the two were about to fight, Tuoba Feier and Tuoba Si hurriedly stepped forward to pull one from the other.

"This girl, are you embarrassed?" Tuoba Feier advised Yan Mu.

Yan Mu rolled his eyes, turned around and sat back on the haystack speechlessly.

Tuoba Siqi exchanged a few words with Sikong Mingyue, but she pushed him away without even looking at him.Tuoba Siqi felt aggrieved and lowered his head like a bullied daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Sikong Mingyue didn't need to persuade him, Tuoba Fei'er turned to comfort Tuoba Siqi.

Sikong Mingyue walked up to Yan Mu and said, "My father has summoned other tribal leaders, and they will discuss what to do next in Shou'an Town. Of course, no matter what the outcome is, I will not let you go. I have already told my father , I want you to marry into our Southwest Palace!"

"What?" Yan Mu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "Say it again?"

Sikong Mingyue raised her chin and said word by word: "You, Yan Mu, if you want to survive, you must marry me in the Southwest Palace!"

After confirming that he heard correctly, Yan Mu stood up suddenly. When he saw Sikong Mingyue trying to stop him, he immediately showed his fists.

"Can you escape from this room, can you escape from this courtyard? Can you escape from Shou'an Town? Can you escape from Xiyue?" Sikong Mingyue asked three questions, then shrugged, "You are a smart person. , I shouldn’t need to talk nonsense, as long as you help my Southwest Palace resolve this crisis, I will let you go."

"It's impossible for me to marry you!"

"Don't worry, I don't want to marry you either. I just want to deceive those leaders."

"Why lie to them?"

"Because my father only has one daughter, they are at war with each other. Each has its own supporters, and several forces have formed. It is difficult to work together. As long as you marry into my palace, you will naturally be my father's successor. They stopped making trouble, and everyone could use their energy to something else."

"Me? A foreigner? Can I make them unite?"

"Of course, you have to show them what you're capable of."

Yan Mu twisted his body to the other side, crossed his legs, and held a grass branch in his mouth. "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. If my wife knows, I won't take my life."

Sikong Mingyue frowned, "Are you so afraid of that woman?"

"Scared to death."

"No promise!"

"I am willing."

Seeing that Sikong Mingyue was extremely angry, Yan Mu pointed at Tuoba Siqi and said, "He can do it too."

Sikong Mingyue glanced at Tuoba Siqi, "A heir to the throne has fallen into such a miserable condition today, and you actually think that he can do it too?"

Yan Mu pursed his lips. These words were too hurtful. Looking at Tuoba Siqi again, he lowered his head in shame.

"Isn't it just that I want you twelve tribes to work together as one, let me give you an idea." Yan Mu said.

"What's the idea?" Sikong Mingyue asked.

Yan Mu leaned over and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Sikong Mingyue's eyes widened, "This move of yours is too damaging!"

"This is called resourcefulness. If you don't know the words, don't use them."

Before Sikong Mingyue left, he tied the three of them up again and searched Yan Muzang's tiles.She had just come out of the woodshed and saw her father coming back, looking sad.

Sikong Mingyue thought for a while and ran towards her father.

"Do they really dare to kill the second brother?" Sikong Mingyue asked.

Sikong Mingyue's uncle married into another tribe and is now the leader of that tribe. Sikong Qingyun has a very high status in the southwest, so the court should be somewhat afraid of him.

King Southwest shook his head, "It's hard to say."

"What if this battle must be fought?" "Other departments may not agree, and even if they agree, everyone will definitely not be willing to use their full strength."

"Well, Yan Mu came up with a trick, father, do you want to listen to it?"

The Southwest King sneered coldly, "You are so clever with your tongue, be careful of being deceived by him!"

"It doesn't hurt for dad to listen, right?"

The king of Southwest was silent for a moment, "Just tell me."

Sikong Mingyue told the King of Southwest almost verbatim what Yan Mu had said.After hearing this, King Southwest frowned at first, then became speechless, and finally laughed.

"Is this how he won those battles?"

"Oh, he said it's called resourcefulness."

Although the Southwest King was disdainful, he still thought about it seriously. After a while, he sent someone to Hongye City overnight to inform the commanders and asked them to bring their sons with them when they came.

Another day later, on the city tower, a peace negotiation team composed of the sons of the twelve tribal leaders set off towards the imperial military camp in the north.

The leaders stood on the tower, and everyone was worried.In the distance, Sikong Qingyun was still tied to a wooden frame and was not given food or water. He was already wilting.

"King, why do you let these children go to peace talks, what if the people on the other side want to kill them?" A leader asked with a frown.

The Southwest King sighed and glanced back at the leaders, "I know you don't want to fight, right?"

When asked, these leaders did not refute.

"So we sent the princes from various tribes to peace talks to show our sincerity to the court. As long as they are willing to withdraw their troops, hand over the executioners who killed our people, and promise not to kill our people indiscriminately in the future, we will send Yan Mu and others Hand it over. I think the court will agree to our terms if there are no other intentions."

"Then what other intentions do they have?"

"Then whether we hand over Yan Mu or the others, the result will be the same. This battle must be fought."

The remaining eleven leaders lowered their heads and began to secretly plan that if a fight really broke out, they would have to go all out to save their sons.

As Yan Mu expected, when the imperial court saw that Southwest had sent these young men for peace talks, it felt that they were cowardly and did not dare to challenge the court, so they became even more stubborn and married these young men and tied them to a wooden frame.

On the city tower here, the leaders saw it and were very angry.

"The imperial court is forcing us to send troops now!"

"We can't back down this time!"

"No, everyone, go back and organize your troops. This time we must give the imperial court a heavy blow!"

The leaders all went back to organize their troops. The king of Southwest stood on the tower, really worried.

At this time, Sikong Mingyue came up, and the Southwest King asked her to bring Yan Mu to the tower.

After a while, Yan Mu came.

The king of Southwest glanced at him and said, "As you wish, our Southwest has decided to go to war."

"It's not as I wish. I should say it's as you, the King of Southwest, wish?" Yan Mu said with a smile.

"Oh? How did you know I was willing to fight this?"

"You are the king of the southwest. If even you were afraid, you would have been driven to the desert in the west by the imperial court 20 years ago."

The King of Southwest smiled, "As expected of the world-famous King of Zhenbei, he even has a firm grip on people's hearts. I have indeed wanted to fight this battle for a long time, but the people in Southwest are divided, and most of them are opposed. , which is why we have repeatedly delayed concessions.”

"But you are the one who caused the fire, so you have to participate in this battle."

Yan Mu frowned, "Me?"

"If you are of no use at all, why should we protect you, right?" (End of Chapter)
