While thinking, Mo Wenli looked at the hidden guard who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was judging the authenticity of what he said.
This kind of silence made the dark guard break out in a cold sweat. He did have something to hide from his master, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had already occupied the entire Jiangnan, but he didn't dare to say it because someone told him. If he dared to say it, he was the only one. His younger brother will undoubtedly die.
"If it's really what you said, wouldn't the current Nanling not even have a chance to fight?"
"Ah yes... yes."
The dark guard came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
"But why didn't Mo Jinyao go to attack Nanling and occupy Nanling, but let them linger on their own land instead?"
"This... this subordinate doesn't know."
"Okay, you go down, you did a good job this time, go down and receive the reward. Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, as long as you are loyal to me."
Mo Wenli saw that the dark guard in front of him turned pale when he heard the word "reward", he was amused immediately, and simply explained.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will always be loyal to Your Majesty."
The dark guard cheerfully went down to receive the reward, so he could buy something good for his younger brother when he got home.
But when he got home, what he saw was the head of his younger brother. The bright red blood flowed on the ground, which was very glaring. Suddenly, his whole body became ill, and only the bright red color remained in front of his eyes.
"what!!!"
A desperate roar came from that very desperate body, but in the next second, his throat was choked and he fell into a pool of blood.
Until his death, the dark guard still resented Mo Wenli. Even if his younger brother was not killed by him, he must have something to do with him...
…
Mo Wenli in the hall still doesn't know that of the two people he just sent back, one has already died. As for the other, these people didn't do anything, but chose to observe in secret, watching his every move. I don't know, killing him is just a waste of time.
"Go and ask the prime minister to come to the imperial study!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards took orders to go down, and after a while, the prime minister and others came over.
"Meet Your Majesty."
Mo Wenli hurriedly told them not to be restrained, and then he said what the two hidden guards said just now. Everyone was happy and sad when they heard it. They were happy that they finally didn't have to fight with Beidi, and Nanling finally died, but they were worried. The most important thing is that the current situation is still not optimistic. Cooperating with the great witch of Beidi is no different from seeking skin with a tiger. Those who appeared, only knew that his appearance made them feel very bad.
"Your Majesty, we can cooperate with Beidi, after all, they are all fleshy, but who is this great witch in Beidi? We don't know."
"Yeah yeah."
Everyone also echoed, their voices were full of worries, and it's no wonder they were worried. Even Mo Wenli, the great witch of Beidi, didn't know what he was, whether he was a man or a woman, and what he looked like. I don't know anything.
"Your Majesty, why did the Great Witch of Beidi ask Xu Zhimo?"
"I don't know either." Mo Wenli shook his head. It would be easy if he knew clearly. He would know whether Xu Zhimo had saved his life or had a mortal hatred for him, and there would be a way to deal with it when the time came. countermeasures.
But now they don't know anything, they are in a very passive position,
"All of you go..." Mo Wenli wanted to say something, but at this moment, there was an urgent voice from outside.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Something is wrong!"
Mo Wenli frowned, thinking that something happened in the harem.
"Why are you in such a panic, what should you do if you offend His Majesty?" The old eunuch reprimanded softly.
But the visitor was very anxious.
"Elder-in-law, just let me in. It's about the Jiangnan side. It's urgent."
As soon as this person finished speaking, Mo Wenli's eyelids twitched, and he arrived immediately, "Come in!"
That person just ran in, and was stopped by Mo Wenli just as he was about to salute.
"Tell me, what exactly happened!" Mo Wenli's heart was beating wildly, and that bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the rebel army has already entered Linjiang City, General Lin Zhi was defeated, and now even Lin Zhi and Daoshan Hermit are missing!"
To Mo Wenli, these words were like a blow to the head. He even took two steps back. His face, which was still full of energy and blood, now only had a pale expression, and the circles around his eyes looked even darker. up.
Everyone was terrified.
"His Majesty!"
Mo Wenli waved his hand.
"What you said is true?... Well, don't say any more, now we have no choice but to cooperate with the Great Witch of Nanling."
This time after Mo Wenli finished speaking, no one dared to refute. After all, no one thought that they would still lose if the Daoshan Hermit was there. No one thought that the Western Capital City would be captured so soon. Thinking that Linjiang City would fall...
"How did Linjiang City fall?"
The prime minister frowned, he knew that the prefect of Linjiang City was Zhou Yu'an, he was a talented person, and he was always loyal to their court, how could he fall so soon
So, did Mo Jinyao take down two cities in less than two months? how can that be
The person who came to report heard this and said,
"The gate of the Western Capital City was breached, but the gate of Linjiang City was donated by Zhou Yu'an, the prefect of Linjiang City."
"What did you say!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Mo Wenli's voice rang out, full of disbelief and gnashed hatred.
Thinking about how I still had high hopes for Zhou Yu'an back then, what about now
Now this person whom they had given high hopes for sent the city out with his own hands. None of them expected such a result.
Everyone has a big lump in their hearts. For the first time, they feel that there is a leak in their hearts. They used to be teased by others, but today, they feel like they are being teased by others. This feeling is really disgusting.
Looking at Mo Wenli again, his whole body was stiff, and the words that Zhou Yu'an offered the city echoed in his mind, and he suddenly felt his blood surge up, and his eyes turned black.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spewed out, dyeing the yellow dragon robe on his body red, and the whole person just fell down straight. This was the second time that Mo Wenli had fainted.
There are really too many things today, and the blow to him is too great.
Just like that, the imperial study was once again in chaos, and the imperial doctor who had just returned to the imperial hospital was called to the palace again before he had time to rest for a while.
Suddenly, there was a burst of distress in my heart, what happened today? How come, their majesty fainted again
The imperial doctor rushed over and took the pulse of the person who was lying on the bed and had just met.
This time the pulse condition is very different from before, there is no other reason, but this time the pulse condition is very disordered, the qi and blood attack the heart and damage the heart vessel.
"How is Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood, but as long as he rests well, I will prescribe some medicine for His Majesty. His Majesty must recuperate well, otherwise, if this body drags on, sooner or later..."
The imperial physician didn't say the rest, not because he didn't say it, but because he didn't dare to say it. To speak ill of His Majesty by His Majesty's side is an outrageous thing.
"Understood."
When Mo Wenli woke up leisurely again, he felt his mind went blank, and suddenly he didn't know what was wrong with him, but it was only a momentary thing, and in the next second, he sat up abruptly, turned his head and looked outside The kneeling crowd felt a sudden pain in their heads.
It turns out that this is all true, not a dream at all, Mo Jinyao has really attacked Linjiang City, and will soon reach the Imperial City.
No, he can't just watch like this, he has to take action, if Mo Jinyao is really allowed to attack Shengjing, then he will definitely die!
"Dark guard! Dark guard!" There was a roar in Mo Wenli's voice.
The dark guard hurriedly appeared after hearing the words.
"Right now, tell Beidi's great witch and Beidi's royal family that I agree to their request, as long as they join hands with me! Go!"
Mo Wenli's hoarse voice made the ministers who were still kneeling on the ground quieter, and only wanted to minimize the presence of himself and others.
But the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of your body. You can't get angry easily now, or you will definitely hurt the root."
Hearing this, Mo Wenli touched his heart subconsciously. Indeed, it was very painful there, but now he can't control it so much.
"Quick! Get your troops ready. If Mo Jinyao really attacks, move immediately!"
"Yes!" Everyone knew it in their hearts. Although no one wanted to leave in their hearts, after all, they followed here. If they left, they would leave everything here, but they had no choice. They had to leave. In front of them, these foundations are just floating clouds.
At this time, in Prime Minister Fang's mansion, the old prime minister was sitting in his own home, holding a secret letter in his hand.
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Regent is really good, I know he can do it!"
The contents of the secret letter were nothing but the news that Mo Jinyao had arrived in Linjiang City.
Fang Taishou laughed enough, destroyed the secret letter and wiped out all traces, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Notice, let's do it tonight!"
Even if he knows that there is a high probability that he will not succeed, he also knows that if he does not do such a thing, he may live a long life, but if he does this, he will die, but the late emperor is gone, and his children are gone. It's safe, and it's time for him to accompany the late emperor.
…
Just after this turbulent day passed, night came quietly, and today's weather is suitable for the occasion, without moonlight.
And a group of people were slowly approaching towards the imperial city, led by a tall man in black, who was the private soldier raised by Prime Minister Fang.
Mo Wenli really lost all interest today, sitting on the long steps in front of the hall in a very decadent manner, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, the sound of swords came from outside, which woke up Mo Wenli who seemed to be in a daze.
"What's going on outside?"
Mo Wenli asked the old eunuch beside him.
Just as the old eunuch was about to go out and have a look, a man who smelled of blood ran in from outside.
"Your Majesty, please take shelter in the harem for a while, because assassins have come in from outside."
"Assassin?" Mo Wenli frowned, how could there be an assassin, and his voice was so loud.
"Your Majesty, let's avoid it first."
The old eunuch spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the main hall was pushed open, and there were some men in black in front of him. The man in the lead, Mo Wenli knew, was the guard next to Prime Minister Fang.
Immediately, Mo Wenli was startled and confused.
"Who are you? Who sent you?"
"It's the old man!"
Before the words were finished, a voice suddenly sounded, and Mo Wenli saw that it was Prime Minister Fang.
"You? Prime Minister Fang? How dare you?"
"Oh, how dare I? You killed the first emperor and almost killed my sons and daughters. If it weren't for the help of His Royal Highness Chen Wang, my sons and daughters would have been killed by you long ago. Such a person, why should I Assist you!"
Mo Wenli's eyes widened.
"Your son didn't die? Was he saved?"
"Yeah, Lord Chen was kind and saved my son, but you! You should never have! You shouldn't have killed your own father! You shouldn't have killed my son! Today I'm going to avenge the late emperor, Kill you despicable bastard!"
Prime Minister Fang's words were like knives that pierced Mo Wenli's heart, why? Why does everyone blame him? Is it his fault? Isn't it his father's fault? Why does he love his younger brother so much? He didn't want him to die, wouldn't it be good to be a puppet quietly? He didn't want to, so why blame him
And Prime Minister Fang, how could he lie to himself? He sent his son to the battlefield just because he wanted to reuse him, but he is not trustworthy, but as long as his son is killed by Mo Jinyao, they will be at odds, and then he can devote himself wholeheartedly I trust him, isn't that good? How could he do this to himself
Thinking about it, Mo Wenli became a little crazy, and his whole body was in a very bad state, and he didn't even dodge the sword that was approaching him.
But at this time, a figure appeared in front of Mo Wenli, and he raised his hand and bounced the sword that had approached him.
Mo Wenli finally came back to his senses, and saw the commander of the dark guard appearing in front of him in black.
"Rescue is late, Your Majesty forgive me." As if formulaic, these words came out of the mouth of the man in black.
Immediately after, he glanced at the old eunuch and said,
"Take Your Majesty to go!"
Mo Wenli was a little dazed all the time, and was taken away by the old eunuch without saying anything.
The rest is up to the commander of the dark guards.
Prime Minister Fang was startled the moment he saw the commander of the dark guards, knowing that they had no chance of winning this time.
"Ah… "
