Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 164 See you late
"Thank you."

The hillside suddenly became quiet, and it took a long time before Mu Hongwu let out a breath, and thanked Mo Lin solemnly, with a grateful smile on his face.

If Mo Lin saved Mu Hongwu's life before, he saved his heart now.

After the conversation just now, Mu Hongwu finally walked out of the quagmire of self-blame. In his heart, Mo Lin was no longer just a junior with some talent, but truly possessed someone who made him look up to him, or even look up. Qualification, at least, has wisdom and far-reaching that he does not possess when looking at and analyzing certain issues.

"What do you think I should do now?"

Mu Hongwu humbly asked for advice, and the way he looked at Mo Lin changed.

Merlin felt uncomfortable instead.

The reason why he was able to say what he just said was because he had personally experienced the battle of exterminating the sect, heard some inside stories that Mu Hongwu hadn't heard, and learned the secret about the Seven Star Profound Realm from Ouyang Xueqing. It is concluded that the Wangfu and the three major sects are colluding with each other for their own purposes. If he is really asked to tell some deep truths, he is not capable.

However, at this time, he had to pretend. He thought about it for a long time, reorganized the process, and still expressed his thoughts.

"Song Yuanbiao's extermination of the Qingzong, on the surface, is the Ruinqingzong's rebellion and disobedience, but in fact it involves the struggle for the throne. If he really wanted to deal with Uncle Mu, I think he will definitely make a big fuss about this matter in the future."

Mu Hongwu asked: "What do you think he will do?"

Mo Lin said: "He will wait for Uncle Mu to make a mistake, or in other words, he just wants to force Uncle Mu to rebel, and then he will be able to get rid of Uncle Mu honestly."

Mu Hongwu nodded, he had already calmed down: "It's very possible."

Mo Lin said: "So, at this time, any mistakes made by Uncle Mu will become his excuse. As the commander of Jiuyouguan, leaving your post without authorization is already a serious crime. If my guess is right, there must be a big net in the imperial city right now." I am waiting for you, as long as you dare to take half a step, or even find your trace outside the city, some royal masters will capture or even kill you. You know, you have left Jiuyou Pass without authorization. This crime is serious , It's small, I didn't shoot you before, I think maybe it's because you moved too fast and Song Yuanbiao wasn't ready, or it might be because he was too injured to take care of it."

Through Mu Yao's narration, Mo Lin already knew that Song Yuanbiao had suffered serious internal injuries, and he only deduced based on this, but he didn't know that his deduction was exactly the same as the truth.

More than ten days ago, the reason why Mu Hongwu led his troops into the imperial city and was able to retreat unscathed was related to the operation of the second prince's back, but Song Yuanbiao was seriously injured, and the most important reason was that he was not ready to kill him .

Mu Hongwu said: "You mean, I will return to Jiuyou Pass directly?"

Mo Lin nodded and said, "Yes, not only do you have to return to Jiuyou Pass, but from now on, all imperial orders to call you back to the imperial city will be rejected. In the final analysis, it is to use Jiuyou Pass as your stronghold, castle, and base camp." , so that you can ensure your own safety to the greatest extent, and firmly control the military power in your own hands, so that no matter how powerful Song Yuanbiao is, he can only stare blankly if he sees no one. If you want to kill or cut your territory, it’s up to you to decide, besides..."

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Lin's eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he said slowly: "Jiuyou Pass is a natural moat that straddles the northern monsters and Yunlan Kingdom. As long as the pass is lost, the monster army will drive straight in. If you are really in a hurry , you join Beiman, join hands with them to attack Yunlan Kingdom, and see how long the Song family can last!"

These few words made Mu Hongwu's eyes turn cold, and he took a deep breath.

Hundreds of people in Daliu Village were brutally massacred by the northern barbarian horse thieves. He left the sect to enlist in the army to avenge them by killing Yaoman. He would kill him without hesitation, but at this moment, he had already learned the truth about the tragedy in Daliu Village, and after seeing the Song family's ruthlessness, he turned around and saw that the barbarians outside Jiuyou Pass were much worse than These people are much more pleasing to the eye.

However, the hatred between Yunlan Kingdom and Beiman has lasted for thousands of years. I don't know how many officers and soldiers of Jiuyou Pass died in Yaoman's hands. If you think about it, it's okay. If you really take refuge in them, Mu Hongwu will never be able to do it.

Once the mind is divided, Mo Lin's mind becomes more flexible.

He kept changing positions, and based on the insights he got from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "36 Strategies" in his previous life, he completely brought himself into the role of Mu Hongwu.

"In order to ensure Uncle Mu's safety, I have an idea. I don't know if it will work."

"You said."

"I've never been to the border, so I don't know what the situation is like there, but there are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, and it's normal for a few bandits to come out in remote places like the border where there are constant wars. I think, if possible, Uncle Mu You can turn some soldiers into horse thieves, and then release rumors that horse thieves are rampant in the border areas, and you need to increase military expenditures to expand the army, so as to ask the Song family for military pay, and use their money to expand your own power. Back road, save your strength, so that the imperial city army will not suddenly come to the city one day and be taken over by someone. Second, this horse thief is a knife hidden in the dark by Uncle Mu. It is a strange army for revenge in the future. You can use them Solve some unnecessary troubles, for example, kill a few messengers of the royal family, and create some chaos that no one can solve except Uncle Mu, in a word, if the Jiuyou horse thief is not eliminated for a day, the Mu family will have no worries for a day."

Hearing Mo Lin's proposal, Mu Hongwu's eyes showed praise and admiration from the bottom of his heart.

He can see that this guy's resourcefulness is ten times and a hundred times stronger than what Mu Yao praised. No wonder his daughter, who has always been arrogant and never puts any man in her eyes, will never forget him. However, if the brave and resourceful young genius is given enough room to display his abilities, in time, he will definitely become a generation of heroes who are famous in the Black Dragon Empire and even the Jinsha River.

"If you don't get rid of the Jiuyou horse thief for a day, the Mu family will have no worries for a day."

Mu Hongwu chewed on Mo Lin's words over and over again, his eyes became brighter and brighter. The old and the young stood on the hillside and talked for a whole afternoon. , and finally talked about when Mu Yao was a child, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. One was heroic and the other was calm and wise.

"Xiao Lin, what are your plans for the future? Now that the sect is gone, and you have been kicked out of the village by the Mo family, why don't you follow me to Jiuyou Pass, and you will be my military adviser. We, the two of you, will join hands to create a world on the border. , What do you think?" Mu Hongwu changed the subject and decided to keep Mo Lin by his side.
