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

The Southwest King glanced at Sikong Mingyue and then at Yan Mu.

"The imperial court promised to give the land in the southwest to our twelve tribes to live permanently."

Sikong Mingyue curled her lips, "This land was originally ours, even the place where they lived was ours, but now they have given it to us. What's the point?"

The Southwest King took a deep breath and said, "As long as there is no war, this is a good thing."

"Oh, if you say it's a good thing, it's a good thing."

"But they have three conditions for us to agree to."

Sikong Mingyue's eyes widened, "Do they still have conditions?"

The Southwest King paused and said: "The first one is to retreat a hundred miles south and give up the three towns of Shou'an, Chong'an and Dingning."

"These are our gateways, how can we let them out? They don't intend to negotiate peace at all!" Sikong Mingyue said angrily.

Yan Mu pulled Sikong Mingyue and asked her to listen quietly to what King Southwest said.

"Second, they ask you to marry the emperor and consolidate the alliance between the two parties."

"impossible!"

The king of Southwest said and looked at Yan Mu again, "The third one handed over Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi and sent them to Kyoto."

When Sikong Mingyue heard this, he was so angry that his veins popped out. "This is not a peace talk. It is clearly forcing us to continue fighting against them. As long as we don't admit defeat, they won't be able to live easy. The worst is possible!"

"Mingyue!" The Southwest King shouted.

"Father, do you agree?"

"For the sake of the Twelve Tribes, I really have to think carefully."

Sikong Mingyue simply couldn't think of what she heard. They obviously won two battles and their morale was high. Why were they still being bullied by the court like this?Moreover, her father was willing to let her marry that dog emperor?
"Princess, you said the fish is dead and the net is broken, but you go outside and ask, among our soldiers and people, who is willing to die?" A tribal leader stood up and asked.

"But if we give in this time, the court will make further progress!"

"The imperial court agreed to sign a covenant. This covenant is for 60 years."

"What if they tear it up..."

"Princess, what we are fighting for in this battle is peace. Now that the court has agreed, our goal has been achieved. As for whether they will keep their word, no one can guarantee it at the moment, but if you don't give it a try, how will you know? .”

Sikong Mingyue looked at the Southwest King again and saw that he had lowered his eyes. Although he was reluctant to part with her as his daughter, he had obviously compromised for the sake of the overall situation.

"I can marry that dog emperor, and it's your business to give up the three towns, but Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi can't be left to them!" Sikong Mingyue said solemnly.

"Tuoba Siqi said that if you go to Kyoto, he will follow you. As for the King of Zhenbei, thank you for helping us in the Southwest to tide over the crisis these days, but we dare not dare to fight against the tiger and wolf between Darong and Xiyue in the Southwest. Blended.”

Yan Mu expected this to be the case and was not disappointed, but it was just that Sikong Mingyue worked so hard for Southwest, and he was not worth it for her.

"Tuoba Siqi and I will escort the princess to Pingdu together. If the imperial court betrays its faith and the southwest falls into crisis, please don't regret it."

"What do we regret? Can we really expect you to defeat the imperial army?" a tribal leader said coldly.

Sikong Mingyue was so angry that he took off his armor and threw it to the ground in front of everyone, "Okay, I grew up in the southwest. I owe you something, so I will marry that dog emperor and repay your debt at that time. But from now on, I, Sikong Mingyue, and Southwest No more involvement.”

Say it, Sikong Mingyue turned and left angrily.

Yan Mu sighed and followed her out.

Outside the door, Tuoba Siqi rushed over. When he saw Sikong Mingyue, he wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't speak, so he could only follow her anxiously.

Tuoba Feier came to Yan Mu worriedly, "Southwest has decided to send you and my second brother back to Pingdu."

"Well, I understand." Yan Mu said. "You helped Southwest win two battles this time. The imperial court has long hated you. If you fall into their hands this time, they will definitely torture you or even kill you."

Yan Mu looked around and saw that there were already soldiers following him, for fear that he would escape.

"Even if I didn't help Southwest, they wouldn't let me go. It doesn't matter, I'm lucky, there is always a way to save my life."

"I'm with you."

"No, please don't hurt us."

Tuoba Feier gritted his teeth, "Yan Mu, you don't know a good heart!"

"If you really want to help me, then let me help you go to Zhenbei."

Yan Mu waved Tuoba Fei'er over and whispered to her: "Help me go to Zhenbei to mobilize an elite army, take a detour to Beijin, and wait at Yuxiguan in Beijin, although you are waiting for my order."

Tuoba Feier nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go!"

Three days later, Yan Mu and his party set out from Chong'an Town. After walking less than ten miles, they were surrounded by the imperial army.Fortunately for Sikong Mingyue, Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi were immediately handcuffed and put into a prison car.

Tuoba Siqi frowned tightly, looked at the carriage in front of him, and sighed repeatedly.

Yan Mu patted Tuoba Siqi on the shoulder and said, "If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?"

If he had not given up the throne and married Sikong Mingyue, he would have no regrets at this time.

Tuoba Siqi pursed his lips, and then wrote in Yan Mu's hand: If I fight for the throne now, is it still too late?
The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "You have money, there is no doubt about it, but what next?"

Tuoba Siqi thought hard and then shook his head.

Yan Mu laughed dryly and said, "There is no perfect path for everyone, so stop thinking about it."

In the palace, Liang Yu learned that her daughter was fine, and she finally had a good sleep that night. She looked much better the next day, but her appetite was still poor, so she only ate half a bowl of white porridge.

Liu Yunxiang helped Liang Yu out and let her bask in the sun in the courtyard. But as soon as she sat down, a woman in gorgeous palace clothes came with a soft face and a gentle smile.

This woman was about forty years old, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She seemed to be older than the Emperor of Western Vietnam.

When Liang Yu saw her, she was about to get up. Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to help her up.

"Sister Xianfei, you are here."

Concubine Xian stepped forward and smiled at Liang Yu, "Sister Yu'er, I see you look much better today."

"Yes, thank you sister for your concern."

"Hey, it's cold outside, why did you come out?" She said with a cold look at Liu Yunxiang, "You're new here, you should be punished for being so careless."

Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled and had to lower his head.

In front of the queen, she didn't care. She even lectured the people in the queen's palace at will. Was this because she didn't understand the rules or didn't take Liang Yu as the queen seriously?

"The weather is warm today and I feel uncomfortable staying indoors, so I came out to bask in the sun and get some air."

Liang Yu pulled Concubine Xian to sit down, "Sister Lao, I've forgotten about it."

Concubine Xian held Liang Yu's hand, put it in her palm and patted it, "You are pregnant now, so you must not get angry in a hurry. My sister knows that you are worried about Qianqian, so she went to Chaorong Palace to have a look before coming. , this child...hey..."

Hearing Concubine Xian's tone, it seemed that her daughter was in bad condition, so Liang Yu quickly asked her what was wrong.

"This child has been suffering from a high fever and it hasn't gone away yet." (End of Chapter)
