Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 366

In the lobby, Prince Huai's family members looked at each other in shock when they saw Chen Mo leaving.

What did he mean by what he just said?
Why ask if Chu Juan is married?
Good marriage, good marriage to whom?

"Mother." Chu Juan hugged Mrs. Hui's arm tightly, feeling a little scared.

Mrs. Ke Hui is more worried about her eldest son Chu Shou.

Suddenly, Mrs. Hui noticed a gaze directed towards her.

Mrs. Hui looked over and found that the look was from Xiao Yunxi.

Chu Shou whispered a few times.

Knowing that Xiao Yunxi had discovered the "plot", Mrs. Hui felt a chill in her heart.

Now, even if he returns to the prince and pursues the case, he will not get any good results.

He looked at Liu Ji and said, "What do you think?"

Sun Meng was confused, so what?

King Huai will definitely hate him to death and will definitely not tolerate him.

I must hate it.

Liu Ji said unhurriedly: "The succession of the vassal king is no weaker than the struggle between princes for the crown prince, and it is indispensable to fight for power. Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Gan all have heirs, and they are all older than Chu Zheng, but the three of them Taken together, they are not as good as Princess Huai. Apart from the fact that they are not official wives, the biggest reason is that Princess Huai has the support of the Xiao family behind her.

As expected, Liu Ji then said: "So what the villain means is that the Marquis can return Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Gan and their sons to King Huai, and keep Princess Huai and the prince. That's it. Once this happens, the position of the crown prince will be vacant. Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Gan all have similar family backgrounds, and they all have sons, all of whom are side wives. They will definitely compete for the throne of the crown prince.

But Chen Mo guessed what Liu Ji wanted to say.

Now everyone in Huaizhou knows that he betrayed King Huai and took refuge with Chen Mo, causing Huaizhou to be lost.

Returning to the county government office, Liu Ji said to Chen Mo: "Now that the Marquis has captured all the family members of Prince Huai, I wonder what the Marquis plans to do with them?"

Sun Meng had been following Chen Mo for so long, and he said calmly: "It goes without saying that of course the men will be killed. Princess Huai and several concubines are all top-notch beauties, so they will stay and spread branches for the Marquis." Ye, mitigate the crime.”

Chen Mo actually had an idea in his mind, but he didn't say it clearly. He just asked, "How do you think I should deal with them?"

After leaving the house, Chen Mo told the guards outside to take a good look at Prince Huai's family and not to slack off.

And seeing that Bentou is gone, the Xiao family will definitely not be as dedicated as they were before. "

Do you want to say that Liu Ji hates Chen Mo?

If he wanted to live, he could only rely on Chen Mo.

The reason why the Xiao family is determined to follow Prince Huai is that Prince Huai treats Princess Huai well and has established Princess Huai's son as the heir apparent. "

Liu Ji smiled lightly and said: "The villain thinks that it would be too cheap for King Huai to kill Chu Shou and the others."

Chen Mo ruined his cultivation.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Killing Chu Shou also benefited King Huai, how do you say this?" Chen Mo was a little confused.

But compared to hating, Liu Ji was more afraid of death.

Therefore, he took the initiative to give Chen Mo advice to reduce the threat from King Huai.

Liu Ji continued: "If the Marquis kills all the men in Prince Huai's palace, leaving Prince Huai with no successor, Prince Huai will definitely hate the Marquis so much that you hate him to death. When the time comes, no matter what the reasons are, Prince Huai will be killed." With the Marquis, you will be dead and the net will be broken.

And letting Madam Hui and the others go, also left a little room for relaxation for both parties. "

After Liu Ji's eloquent words, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at him more highly. Sun Meng's thinking also changed, and the look in his eyes at Liu Ji also changed a little.

How could this man's brain be born from his parents? How could he think so brilliantly?

Chen Mo patted Liu Ji on the shoulder and said, "That's good, sir. I have offended you many times before. I hope you won't worry about it."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Liu Ji said hurriedly.

"Let's go and have a drink with me."

Soon, two days passed.

Although Xiao Yunxi and others knew that Chen Mo asked them to write a handwritten letter to blackmail King Huai, they had no choice but to write one.

It happened that the navy led by Chu Ce arrived in Huainan County. Chen Mo did not send troops to garrison Huainan. Chu Ce sent envoys to Wuguan City to call Chen Mo and ask him to release Princess Huai and the others immediately.

Chen Mo handed over the letter written by Princess Huai and the others to the envoy, and asked Chu Ce to deliver it to King Huai.

He also spoke to King Huai, and the conditions he proposed can be said to be as big as a lion's mouth.

First, return Qingzhou.

Second, King Huai needs to cede fourteen cities on the north bank of Fengzhou.

Third, cede Huaizhou.

Fourth: one million taels of silver compensation.

The four requirements were met, and Chen Mo released all the Huai King's family members.

The reason why Chen Mohui proposed to release all the family members of King Huai.

It was Chen Mo who guessed that King Huai would definitely not be able to fulfill these four requirements.

Definitely have to bargain in the end.

In this way, Chen Mo also reasonably released some of Huai Wang's family members.

After Chu Ce learned about it, he was frightened by Chen Mo's request.

What do you mean by this? This is obviously a robbery.

However, Chen Mo ignored him and asked him to convey it.

In the afternoon of that day, the news that Qingzhou was occupied by King Huai and that King Huai was attacking Yuzhou also reached Huaizhou.

There was an uproar immediately.

It turns out that Chen Mo's previous announcement that King Huai violated the non-aggression treaty was true.

It was King Huai who betrayed his trust first.

Chen Mo frowned. As expected, King Huai was also attacking his Yuzhou. Fortunately, he had his family members transferred to Linzhou in advance.

The tenth year of Xuanhe, August 1st.

Two pieces of news came from Xiliang and Shu respectively.

The Qiang people of Xiliang and Yang Weiwei of Shu Mansion announced to the world that they would form an alliance with Chen Mo, the Marquis of Pingting County, and they would advance and retreat together.

These two pieces of news reached Huaizhou and caused an uproar.

When it reached Chu Ce's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"It's over, it's over, something big happened." Chu Ce's face turned pale.

Before this, even if Chen Mo killed Liang Xuan and captured Huaizhou, Chu Ce was not as afraid as he is now.

Although Chen Mo is married to the Wu family and has the support of the Wu family, looking at the world, he still cannot compete with King Huai and King Chong.

Because there were too few people supporting Chen Mo, the really influential families, namely the Nangong family and the Wu family, were enemies from the same "direction" and could not affect King Huai.

But now, Xiliang and Shu have announced an alliance with Chen Mo.

This meant that King Huai had to divide his troops to defend against enemies from multiple directions, doubling the pressure.

……

the other side.

When King Huai learned that Huainan and Wuguan had fallen, Liang Xuan died in battle, his family members were captured, and Chu Ce asked for help, the news shook him for a long time. Suddenly, King Huai shouted "Ah".

A stream of blood arrows spurted out.

In a state of shock, urgency, shame and anger, King Huai's energy and blood rushed to his heart. When blood spurted out, his whole body fell backwards.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Fusheng and other staff and generals were frightened when they saw this scene.
