Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 491: In order for me to enjoy myself in peace, I have no choice but to wrong you.

Zhao Mu chuckled again when he heard Yelu Yanxiu's stinging words.

Zhao Mu stood up and said: "Since Her Highness the Princess is so curious, I will tell the truth to Her Highness. First, I am not a person who loves power and position. Everything I have now is given by Your Majesty. I Although he is a member of the royal family, he is also a minister of His Majesty. There is no need to say this again. There is only one emperor in the Song Dynasty, and that is the emperor, and I, Zhao Mu, are also loyal to the emperor.

"And I insist on conquering various countries, naturally to help His Majesty achieve the unparalleled achievements of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty. Let Your Majesty leave a name for thousands of years. Conquer the four barbarians and re-translate the name of 'Khan of Heaven'. And as the sharp sword in Your Majesty's hand, I naturally I will go and create this unparalleled achievement for Your Majesty. When all the barbarians surrender and the world is settled, that will be the day when I can take off my armor and return to my land, where I can enjoy myself in peace."

Zhao Mu looked at Yelu Yanxiu and said with a smile: "By the way, Your Highness, the sixteen states of Yanyun and the importance of the Great Wall to the Central Plains and Han Dynasty, I don't need to say anything more."

Yelu Yanxiu nodded and said: "Yes, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is the barrier of the Central Plains to the north. If you cross the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, you can drive straight into the plains south. The reason why I, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, forced Shi Jingtang to cede That’s true. If I, Daliao, want to take control of the Central Plains, we must have the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture in our hands.”

Zhao Mu returned to his seat and continued: "That's it. Since ancient times, the northern grassland tribes have been best at raising horses and cavalry fighting. These Sixteen States of Yanyun are not within my territory of the Song Dynasty. You The Liao cavalry is always like a knife, hanging over our heads. As the saying goes, 'How can we allow others to sleep on the side of the couch?'"

"As long as the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is not in the hands of my Song Dynasty, the troubles on the Mobei border will not be eliminated. Even if I enjoy myself in the capital, I will not enjoy stability. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask you all to die. Only you will die, I can enjoy myself in peace."

Yelu Yanxiu also let out a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Mu's answer, and then looked at Zhao Mu with a smile.

Zhao Mu's reaction to Yelu Yanxiu was somewhat strange.

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "Buddha said: Don't say it."

At this time, Yelu Yanxiu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, then I don't have any problems. Your Highness King Qi is the same type of person as me. Everything he does is for the benefit of his country. Although I still don't I agree with your methods, but you have nothing to blame. Now it’s up to you to see where your destiny lies.”

Yelu Yanxiu asked strangely: "Who is there?"

Yelu Yanxiu didn't answer this time, but just returned a bitter smile.

"But it just so happens that I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, am a wise and wise king who has not been seen in a century. And I have not only been appreciated by your majesty, but also been reused by your majesty. Now this destiny belongs to me, the Song Dynasty." Zhao Mu stood up and walked to Yelu Yanxiu In front of him, he said, "Your Highness, Princess, please take care of your health. Wait until I go to Shangjing in Liao Kingdom to pick you up."

Zhao Mu looked at Yelu Yanxiu's graceful figure, and then said: "Of course it belongs to me in the Song Dynasty. If I have not been appreciated by your majesty before, then the destiny does not belong to you, nor to me, nor to Xixia."

Zhao Mu looked at Yelu Yanxiu's bitter face and said, "Well, Her Royal Highness, it's better to go back. After all, you don't have too many days as a princess. Cherish your life now. Ju Jian! See you off. !" After saying that, Zhao Mu turned away and ignored Yelu Yanxiu.

Yelu Yanxiu turned around and looked at Zhao Mu and said, "I just don't know if this destiny belongs to you, the Song Dynasty, or to ours, the Liao Dynasty."

Yelu Yanxiu no longer asked for trouble. After bowing to Zhao Mu, he followed Ju Jian's footsteps and left.

Mei Jian said at this time: "Young Master, I can see that she seems to have true feelings for you. If you two are not enemies."

Zhao Mu kissed Mei Jian on the cheek, then put his arm around Mei Jian's shoulders and said, "It's a pity that we are enemies. And we are sworn enemies." At this time, Zhu Jian also came to Zhao Mu's side. Zhao Mu also hugged her.

Zhujian said: "Young master can accept the princess and the princess of Yinchuan, why can't you accept the princess of Zhao?"

Zhao Mu replied: "It's very simple. Princess Yinchuan is the granddaughter of Senior Wife. She is one of our own. And the battle with Xixia Kingdom is just a betting contract between me, Senior Wife and senior brother. Even if Xixia loses, then I can still Let Xixia establish a country elsewhere. With Yinchuan here, I can better control the people in the fief."

"As for Wan'er, the princess Wan'er is just picked up. I have feelings for her. Even if she doesn't become a princess, I will marry her. And the Khitan people are not good friends, so naturally they can't stay."

Zhao Mu then kissed Zhu Jian on the face, and said: "Okay! Don't mention her anymore. In a few days, it will be the day of swearing an oath. After I take Xixia, Your Majesty has promised to take over Lingzhou City Give it to me. Then we will live in the Xixia Palace, and when the Liao Kingdom is restored, we will all be able to enjoy our wealth in peace."

Yelu Yanxiu's visit to the Song Dynasty was met with disappointment again. Although she also made friends with some powerful officials of the Song Dynasty in the court, these people were all idle princes and could not speak much. So he hurried back to Liao Kingdom.

Now Yelu Yanxiu is very scared. She is afraid that what Zhao Mu will do this time is to "defeat Guo" and "attack the east and attack the west". He was afraid that Zhao Mu's expedition to Xixia was false, but that the Song army turned around and went north to attack the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was true.

Whether the Liao Kingdom can intervene in the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia is not mentioned for the time being, but at least the remaining land of the Liao Kingdom must be preserved.

Zhao Mu had taken away Yingzhou and Mozhou before, and the door to Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom had been opened wide. The sword of the Song Dynasty was already at the nose of the Liao Kingdom.

If the Song army seizes the opportunity and captures Zhuozhou, the land of Yanyun will completely change hands. When the Han people regain control of the Great Wall, they can advance, attack, retreat or defend. She would never let that happen.

Three days later, the day before the swearing-in meeting for the expedition to the west. Zhao Mu was enjoying the singing and dancing as usual.

At this time a familiar figure walked in.

When Zhao Mu saw the person coming, he stood up and said, "Miss Abi, why are you here? But is there anything going on with Brother Murong?"

Abi still spoke with her Jiangnan accent: "Uncle Patriarch, it's not that there is something wrong with the young master. It's that we came to you as promised."

Zhao Mu clapped his hands, and Hong Luan and others stopped dancing. Then he withdrew.

After Hong Luan and others left, Zhao Mu looked around and asked, "Why are you alone?"

Abi smiled and said: "I'm not the only one, we all came back together. Miss Wang is now with Miss Cousin and Miss Xiaolei. They are now waiting for His Highness King Qi in the Tianzihao Room of the inn. Abi was specially sent to inform him. "
