Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 135

In the early morning of the third day, rituals and music that had not been heard for a long time sounded at the gate of Wangcheng. A neat group of people stood in line at the gate to greet them. The one riding a brown horse in the front was Sima Xuan, the Prime Minister of Xirong Kingdom.

Sima Xuan was born in a wealthy family, and the three generations above him have been the prime ministers of the Xirong Kingdom. Thirty, then the official position of the prime minister.

At this time, Sima Xuan had a serious face, and the original face that was carved with a knife and ax was even colder.He naturally knew that what he was going to meet today was not only the prime minister of the Canglang Kingdom, Mu Gulin, but also the king of the Canglang Kingdom, Shang Nangongche.

There are only two possibilities for the arrival of these two people.One is to make the Xirong Kingdom beyond redemption; the other is to help the Xirong Kingdom turn crisis into opportunity.

As for the final result, he thought, Xiao Muyu should have already planned it!

The pennant fluttered on the official road, and the sound of horseshoes raised a burst of yellow dust.Thirty cavalry guards first came to the city gate and were divided into two queues on both sides of the official road.Afterwards, dozens of servants came slowly with two seven-scented sedan chairs.Behind the sedan chair, followed by dozens of cavalry.

What a big show!It really is Nangong Che's style!

Sima Xuan sighed secretly, then waved his hand, and the ceremony and music stopped in due time.

Sima Xuan jumped off his horse and stepped forward.

Seeing Mu Yulin and Nangongche get off the sedan chair, Sima Xuan said loudly: "Sima Xuan, Prime Minister of Xirong Kingdom, has seen Lord Canglang, and Prime Minister Mu!"

Nangongche laughed and said, "I've heard for a long time that the prime minister of the Xirong Kingdom is young, promising, chic and suave, sure enough! Sure enough! Haha..."

A trace of surprise flashed across Sima Xuan's face, and he said: "Your honor has been awarded, Sima Xuan has been waiting for a long time, please—"

Sima Xuan moved his body and led Nangongche and Mu Yulin into the city.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xiao Muyu was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe to hide the gloom on his face. The bead curtain on the crown was swaying in front of his eyes, but he remained silent and expressionless.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood with bows, and in the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony, only the sound of people's breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, a long tune came from outside the hall: "Master of the Canglang Kingdom, the Prime Minister of the Canglang Kingdom enters the hall——I will enter the hall toward Prime Minister Sima—"

Xiao Muyu raised his head slightly, his face softened slightly.

Sima Xuan walked into the hall, kowtowed first, then stood up and stood at the head of all officials.

Nangongche and Mu Yulin then entered the hall, and Mu Yulin was about to bow his hands in salute, but Nangongche lightly blocked him.

Nan Gongche walked to the front of the hall and said with a smile, "Xiao Muyu, long time no see!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately criticized!This Nangongche actually called the king by his name?

However, Xiao Muyu smiled lightly and said, "It's been a long time! Nangong Che, you are still the same as before!"

Nan Gongche walked around the hall as if he was in his own home. He said with emotion: "I think back then, when you and I were not yet enthroned, it was only fun for us to be together! Xiao Muyu, it's not fun to look at your serious look now. !"

"Haha..." Xiao Muyu shook his head and said, "This statement is wrong. Now that we belong to the country, how can we play around like we did back then?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Muyu said to both sides: "Come here, give me a seat——"

Just a word of bestowal showed Xiao Muyu's state of mind at this time!Although Nangong Che is the Lord of the Canglang Kingdom, this is still the Xirong Kingdom after all.

Nangong Che didn't mind, and sat on the chair carelessly.

Xiao Muyu was condescending, and asked again: "I don't know why you two came to our Xirong country this time?"

Nan Gongche lazily leaned on the back of the chair and said, "I heard that the Xirong Kingdom lost two cities in a row recently, is there such a thing?"

Although Xiao Muyu knew that Nangongche was asking the question knowingly, he had no choice but to reply: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, so it's not surprising!"

Nangong Che stood up, nodded and said: "Brother Xiao said well, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. I came here this time to relieve Brother Xiao's urgent need!"

"Oh?" Xiao Muyu narrowed his eyes, wanting to see how Nangongche planned to persuade himself to negotiate a peace.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Che said: "My Canglang Kingdom is willing to send [-] troops to help the Xirong Kingdom turn defeat into victory!"

"No! No!" Someone among the civil servants immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, absolutely no! Our Xirong Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and we have already been unable to make ends meet! Now we have lost two cities in a row, and the people are in dire straits. How can there be another war?"

Xiao Muyu frowned slightly, you Nangongche, you can't even talk!

Mu Yulin stood up at this time, and said to the civil official: "Your Excellency, you must not grow up with others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. The Xirong Kingdom has a vast land and resources, and our Canglang Kingdom is willing to help us, and we will definitely be able to save the lost. Take back the city!"

Speaking of this, some of the military officers actually agreed, saying: "Prime Minister Mu said well, our Xirong Kingdom has a strong army, how can we easily admit defeat to others?"

"What did General Qiao say? Are you going to ignore the people of the world?"

"Master Zhang, don't talk nonsense, is it possible that Master Zhang is going to hand over our Xirong Kingdom to others?"

"..."

Facing the quarreling civil and military officials, Xiao Muyu's face flashed with anger. It seems that Nangong Che launched his court war so easily!

He coughed lightly, not angry but arrogant, and suddenly, the whole audience fell silent.

He opened his mouth slowly, and said, "Brother Nangong said that he would lend me [-] troops. Is this true? I heard that the Canglang Kingdom has suffered a severe drought recently, and there are countless victims. I'm afraid Brother Nangong is too busy to take care of himself, right?"

The expressions of Nangong Che and Mu Yulin changed slightly, unexpectedly, Xiao Muyu suppressed the controversy of Manchao with a single word.

At this time, who would dare to advocate continuing the war?

Nangong Che smiled and said: "It seems that brother Xiao doesn't trust me anymore? It's okay, I have a better news to tell everyone."

The civil and military officials who had lost hope suddenly became excited again, and they pricked up their ears, wanting to know what good news Nangong Che had.

Only then did Nangong Che put away his smile, and then raised his hand, signaling for Mu Gulin to take out a letter.Zhao An didn't dare to neglect, and immediately presented the letter to Xiao Muyu.

After reading the letter, Xiao Muyu's eyes became sharper, and he said slowly, "Dongfang Jing is so arrogant that he actually tried to use my two cities as a condition for peace!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

Sima Xuan walked out of the queue, cupped his hands to Xiao Muyu and said, "Your Majesty must not agree, not to mention Geye City, Qinglan City has been the barrier of our Xirong Kingdom since ancient times. With Qinglan City, there is the natural danger of Chila River. , without Qinglan City, our Xirong Kingdom will be mermaid meat!"

"Prime Minister Sima is right! The city cannot be lost!"

"That's what to do! Yu Tianchao's conditions have been made out, they are now in an absolute advantage, and they will not let go easily!"

"..."

"My loves!" Xiao Muyu's voice sounded suddenly, he looked at Nangong Che, and said with a leisurely expression: "Your Majesty Canglang and the Prime Minister have been exhausted all the way, let them take a rest for the time being, and we will discuss the peace matter tomorrow." Discussion!"

"Retire—" Zhao An called out in a timely manner.

Xiao Muyu and Nangongche looked at each other and smiled, the two of them knew each other, Xiao Muyu must know what he needs, and he also has what Xiao Muyu wants.
