The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 15 Behind the scenes
"Mu Gong's ingenious calculation is seamless, I really admire it." Wu Yuanheng raised his wine cup with both hands.In the north of Maling City, there is a gentle slope next to the city wall. On the slope, there are many tall acacia trees, a stream, and a large number of pavilions.

Mu Sheng knelt and sat across from him. He had a white beard and hair, a big beard, a big belly, and his face was covered with flesh.

"What a clever plan, but it's just to put people together." Mu Sheng didn't raise his glass, "Boy of the Wu family, this time we can work together, it doesn't mean that our grievances and grievances are settled. Your daughter married my grandson. We can communicate more in the future.

If you want to blame, blame him for only knowing how to fight. "

Wu Yuanheng held up the wine cup in embarrassment and retracted it, the corners of his mouth twitched to suppress the anger in his heart, he took a sip without any trace, and nodded.

"That piece of land was originally picked up by the Wang family. They have enjoyed it for so many years, so they should return it." Wu Yuanheng said.

"I don't know if it was picked up or not. The old man only knows that Wang Lie is not easy to deal with. His son is a waste. As long as he sends a good hand, he can easily deal with it." Mu Sheng said: "The key is that the king is also in the city, and his hands must be clean. , that Wang Jian can be silent, but Duyanghou is not that easy to deal with, do you have someone there?"

"I have ten howling wolf knights, but Ma Linggong forgives them, they can't make a move." Wu Yuanheng refused.

"Hmph, now that things are going on, you still want to stand on the shore cleanly and get away?

Am I the one who broke my promise? "Mu Sheng stared at him like a knife blade. Cold sweat broke out on Wu Yuanheng's forehead, and his hands trembled a little. After thinking twice, he still shook his head.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng had a sneering smile on his lips, "That useless son of Marquis Duyang, then I will send my elite swordsman Li Sheng to let him die in the room without any proof, this step is the least difficult.

As for Wang Lie
Tomorrow everyone will accompany the monarch to hunt, someone will tamper with his drink, and then he will die in the mouth of the beast, with the monarch present, our two families must insist on this matter, the two Zhengqing and the monarch will speak together , no one dared to doubt this matter. "

"Master Ma Ling is brilliant!" Wu Yuanheng said excitedly, the joy in his expression could no longer be controlled.

"Hahahaha." Mu Sheng laughed, and then looked at Wu Yuanheng opposite with some disdain and took a sip alone: ​​"Gao Ming? It's just a matter of courage, the old man advises you to do less big things in the future with that little courage.

The old man doesn't like your father, but you are really different from him. "After speaking, regardless of the other party's ugly face, he got up and left the table.

Wu Yuanheng's face was dark, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he tried his best to maintain restraint.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a son, born with a noble status and a high position.

But it was not like that at home. From childhood to adulthood, he heard others tell him all the time how brave and heroic his father and his capable general Du Yanghou were.

He had overheard people comparing him with his father many times, and then came to the conclusion that "one generation is not as good as one generation" and "the distance between Lishi and Lishi is far away", just like what Mu Sheng insulted him just now!
He had listened to those words for almost half his life, never praised them, only belittled under the shadow of his father!

I feel more uncomfortable and depressed every day, and I want to prove myself.

He has tried countless times to prove his ability, to show that he can surpass his father in at least some aspects. He has never stopped since he was a child, and he wants to seize every opportunity.
But no one will ever care about his efforts, his achievements.They are still praising their father, praising Du Yanghou's achievements and achievements, and they are still saying that he is still far behind!

This time, Marquis Duyang sent a request, and his father was bedridden and unable to handle affairs, so everything was done by him. He finally saw a real opportunity!
Ever since he received the news, he has understood that this is a battle for military power and tiger talisman, and it is related to the next battle for the ruling minister. That's why Mrs. Mu is so concerned, and the monarch will personally come to judge.

He wasn't prepared to deal with this matter according to the usual rules, and simply stood up for Du Yanghou.

From the day he got the news, he stayed up all night, thinking about how to win by surprise, how to do a big thing to win the approval of his father, and let the world know his ability.

If it is still in accordance with the agreed and established rules, in the end, under the mediation of the monarch, either Duyanghou will obtain the military power of the tiger talisman, or Mu Shenggong will obtain the military power of the tiger talisman. Of course, they must make some concessions to each other, and their Wu family will get Whether a reputation is good or bad is uncertain, it depends on whose side you are on to understand it.

He didn't want that, because that way he couldn't make a big splash, and that way he couldn't surpass his father and gain people's recognition!
That night, he remembered that his father had told him that the Wu family actually coveted the fertile Heyang collar very much. He had often dreamed of the sweet and juicy peaches in Heyang, the precious peach wood, honey, fine wine, and corn. , wheat flour, a rich land.
Many years ago, the original mastermind of Heyang was killed instead, and the Heyang leader was vacant, but for that fertile land, the six Zhengqings formed a tacit understanding and balance, and no one dared to reach out to Heyang first and become a leader. The target of public criticism.

In the end, he had no choice but to adopt a compromise plan, so that the Wang family who had made military exploits took over Heyang. Behind this was also the Lishi Wu family's support, because Wang Lie was a subordinate of Li Shigong's army.

But in essence, the Wu family really wanted to get the leader of Heyang directly, and it was a helpless compromise to let Wang Lie take over, at least it would be better for the Wu family.

After thinking this through, he felt that he was a genius at the time, and with the idea of ​​proving himself to his father and the world, Wu Yuanheng also had a bold plan in his heart.

Maybe he can use the Mu family to trade interests with them to take back Heyang.

If the Mu family wanted military power, they would give it to him, and if they wanted to fight for the ruling secretary, they would help him. Anyway, my father was in the northwestern border of Zhao State all the year round, and the chance of being the ruling secretary was not great, but all of this could not be given in vain.

He wants to use these supports in exchange for the hands of the Mu family to eradicate the unsuspecting Wang Lie and his son, and then use the support of the Mu family to obtain the fertile land in Heyang that his father yearns for, and fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish, so that his father will praise him and the world will win People will be amazed!
He took his daughter with him because he wanted to marry his daughter to a young man from the Mu family. Through marriage, the relationship between the two families would be stabilized, so as to ensure that the two families could stand together in the future. Once something happened to Wang Lie and his heir, they would not Close relatives and clans logically need to redistribute their territories.

As for the possibility of his daughter's life being difficult after marrying a former enemy family, he also thought about it, but he felt that it was worth sacrificing his daughter for the benefit of the family.

Thinking of his seamless plan, he couldn't help laughing, and thinking that Wang Lie had been confiding in him for the past few days, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority, so what if others praised his heroic deeds?So what if he is brave and good at fighting?Those great heroes whom the ignorant common people chanted and praised every day, are not easily manipulated by him now!Let him die badly!
As for Wang Lie's good-for-nothing son, that idiot can't make any waves!
