"If I didn't make a mistake, this Mu Hanyan must have possessed the method of controlling beasts, colluded with that chaotic beast in secret, and made an envoy in the open, but in secret, he was hiding evil intentions, trying to use the power of strange beasts to attack me in the capital, Shake the royal foundations.
It was only after being seen through by the city lord that he had to act early. Seeing that the conspiracy was revealed later, she knew that she couldn't do anything, so she pretended to rescue her, and won a good name for herself, so as to deceive His Majesty's trust, and then waited for an opportunity to make a move. "Wu Ziyue said with a sneer.
After listening to Wu Ziyue's words, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know how he came up with so many detours.
Mu Hanyan thought that she was a bit resourceful, but when facing Wu Ziyue, she felt a little inferior. It's nothing more than repaying favors and revenge, but he can still make up such a big reason. It has to be said that this Wu Ziyue is also considered a talent.
Maybe others don't know why Wu Ziyue wanted to avenge his kindness, but Mu Hanyan can think of one or two.
As the lord of a city, he ignored the strange beast attacking the city at the beginning and delayed the war opportunity, resulting in the tragic death of thousands of people, and then he refused to listen to dissuasion and went out of the city to fight without permission. If Mu Hanyan hadn't acted in time, Dingbian City would have been destroyed At the hands of Chaos, the millions of people in the city will not be spared.
Although he covered the sky with one hand in Dingbian City, if such a big incident happened, someone would definitely report it to the court, even if he was the only son of the side-by-side king, he would not be immune to punishment. Presumably the Wu family will not be a single lineage, and there are countless collateral branches secretly coveting the throne, and they will definitely not miss the heaven-sent opportunity to make trouble. Mu Hanyan is no stranger to this kind of open and secret fighting in a wealthy family. It is not surprising that brothers fight each other for the sake of superiority, let alone just adding insult to injury.
Wu Ziyue was eager to protect himself, so of course he had to find a scapegoat, and himself was undoubtedly the best choice. The strange beasts in Dingbian City are already bizarre, and the divine beast contract he used to drive back the chaotic beasts is indeed inconceivable to outsiders. According to him, if you think about it, it seems that there is some connection.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether there is any connection, as long as he captures himself into the city lord's mansion, he will have all kinds of means to force himself to submit, or simply kill him, and then give himself the name of committing suicide in fear of crime. His power, when the time comes, there will be no proof, who can do anything to him.
By the way, as long as he gets rid of himself, the Hanxiao Sword and the Xuanyang Phoenix Feather Grass will naturally fall into his hands, and he can also fulfill his long-cherished wish, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Such a scheming, such a ruthless method! Thinking about this, even Mu Hanyan had to feel emotional again, but his disgust towards Wu Ziyue deepened a bit.
"Mu Hanyan, isn't my city lord right? You are very scheming and scheming, but unfortunately, you met my city lord!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Ziyue said with a smile on his face. It can be seen that he himself is very proud of the strategy he came up with.
"It's just that I want to find a scapegoat, but I can make up such a high-sounding reason. I am worthy of being a side-by-side prince. I admire, admire." Mu Hanyan smiled contemptuously.
The eyes of everyone around looking at Wu Ziyue became weird. After hearing Wu Ziyue's words before, they were somewhat preconceived. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this time the strange beast attacked the city was indeed too weird. The weird incantations he sang were even weirder, and I really doubted what he said.
However, when they heard Mu Hanyan's words again, they suddenly realized that Wu Ziyue had deliberately confused the public and poured dirty water on Mu Hanyan's body in order to shirk responsibility.
"Mu Hanyan, you still dare to quibble now, take them back to the city lord's mansion, and interrogate them severely!" Wu Ziyue became furious when Mu Hanyan broke his mind.
Those black-armored soldiers hesitated for a moment, but still surrounded Mu Hanyan. However, although they had to obey Wu Ziyue's orders, they were obviously slow-moving, and the leading generals even secretly winked at Mu Hanyan, signaling her to flee quickly.
Mu Hanyan was a little moved. Although Wu Ziyue's character was despicable, and there were many flatterers and cowards around him, most people's natures were not bad, and they could clearly distinguish right from wrong, good from evil.
"Stop!" At this moment, the old general of the city guard stepped forward and stood in front of Mu Hanyan.
The old man who had previously replaced Dr. Sun also stepped forward and stood by his side.
"What are you doing? Do you want to collude with foreign enemies and betray Shangyue!" Wu Ziyue sternly shouted.
"Lord Mu is An Yun's envoy. This mission to Vietnam is of great importance. As a general of the city guard, I will ensure that she arrives in the capital safely." The old general said righteously.
"She saved the lives of the people in the city, she saved the lives of my Geng clan, and even the life of this old man. With this old man around, no one can embarrass her." The old man said loudly. Said.
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people who survived the catastrophe gathered together to protect Mu Hanyan and his party.
Mu Hanyan guessed right, this old man is the patriarch of the Geng family, the most prominent family in Dingbian City, and more than half of these hundreds of people are Geng family children and guards. Even if they are not members of the Geng family, I am grateful to Mu Han Yan's life-saving grace, of course, would not stand idly by.
At the same time, the soldiers of the city guards also gathered together, and together with the common people, they protected Mu Hanyan and his party from three floors inside and outside.
"Bold, bold, do you want to rebel?" Wu Ziyue's expression changed dramatically.
As the only son of the side-by-side king, Wu Ziyue has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child. Even the sons of the royal family like Yue Xiuming have not taken it seriously. Never encountered.
The old general and Patriarch Geng ignored him, and just looked at him contemptuously. If they hadn't been concerned about the power of the king, how could they have taken such a waste like Wu Ziyue seriously. Now that they are tearing their skins apart, they have nothing to worry about.
"How dare you communicate with foreign enemies to betray Shangyue, kill, kill them." Enraged by their contemptuous eyes, Wu Ziyue roared angrily.
As the lord of a city, even his subordinate city guards and the clans in the city dared to openly oppose him. If this matter was spread, how could he have any prestige at all, how could he convince the public, and what qualifications did he have to inherit the throne
The old general and the head of the Geng family both sighed secretly. As the lord of a city, Wu Ziyue actually issued such an order. Isn't he afraid of stirring up civil uprisings? This son of the royal family is also an idiot.
Those black-armored soldiers knew the severity, and held the hilt of their swords, but no one dared to do it.
"Even you don't listen to my orders, okay, okay, you don't do it, I do it myself!" Seeing that even his own soldiers in black armor disobeyed orders, Wu Ziyue lost his mind completely with anger, pulled out The long sword rushed towards the old general.
"Swipe!" The soldiers of the surrounding city guards drew out their long swords at the same time.
