In early July, the Jin army and the Shanpu allied forces gathered a large number of troops and arrived at the northern border of the Xi tribe with great fanfare. Deng Qi, the chief general of Lingnan, also led his troops to conquer the south. The upper echelons of the Xi tribe were immediately frightened. They did not expect that the Jin Dynasty would actually take action. , hurriedly mobilized troops from the front line to pull the troops back to defend the rear. However, only a few days later, the Xi clan urgently sent an envoy to Shanpuyu City to meet with the Emperor of Jin Dynasty.
At this time, Mu Sheng disguised himself and leisurely accompanied Zhang Lin and Hong Ze to wander around the city. He took them to the terrace where Mu Yi Naqi had brought him to watch the scenery.
Zhang Lin and Hong Ze looked at the distant scenery and were amazed.
Zhang Lin said: "Brother, the customs and customs here are really very different from those in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that there are such beautiful places outside the Central Plains. What's more, I didn't expect that the mountain puppet actually built the entire city on the top of the mountain. superior."
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Well, that's right. I have to say that this Yucheng is indeed a city of miracles."
Mu Sheng now prefers to disguise himself and pay private visits more and more, which allows him to temporarily escape from the heights of the temple and relax his mood.
At this time, Yang Jin, who was following the emperor, trotted forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, an envoy from the Former Clan is here, and the distinguished guest from the Former Clan that Your Majesty secretly invited is also here."
Mu Sheng said, "Well, I'm going to meet him right now." Before leaving, he called to Hong Ze and said, "Hong Ze, please accompany your senior sister first. I have something to go back to."
Hong Ze naturally agreed repeatedly. Zhang Lin also knew that her senior brother was busy with official duties, so he accompanied her out and had to go back not long after. She had no choice but to angrily say: "Brother, go and come back quickly."
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, you guys play first."
After the emperor and his party returned to the castle, Bortas was waiting in the meeting hall. Naturally, the envoys of the Xi tribe were also waiting for the emperor to summon them.
Mu Sheng said: "Tasi, you are responsible for dealing with the envoy of the Xi tribe. I don't want to see him. As long as I can help the Xi tribe withdraw their troops from the front line as soon as possible and reach a consensus with Taisha."
Bortas said: "Ancestor, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
After Bortas withdrew, after a while, the waiters in the meeting hall sang loudly: "Foreigners come to see our emperor."
"Xuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a hood came outside the door of the council chamber. Seeing that the food and wine had been prepared in the council chamber, and that the emperor was the only one present, the mysterious man felt something in his heart, knowing that this matter was going to happen. After talking secretly, he took off his hood to reveal his true face, stepped forward to protect his chest with his left hand, bowed slightly forward and saluted: "Long live my emperor, Wolf Castle Suchanur, long live."
"No gift."
Mu Sheng said: "Lord Wolf, we haven't seen each other for a while?"
Suchanur said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your Majesty, you are really good at it. You are the master of the mountain puppets, and now you are the emperor of the Central Plains? I really admire you very much. Maybe you were If you want to seize the body of a member of the Jin Dynasty clan, today is the day, right?"
Mu Sheng said humbly: "Lord Wolf, thank you very much. In fact, I did not expect that the late emperor would pass the throne to me. Since this heavy burden falls on me, I naturally have to take good care of the splendid country left by the late emperor."
Suchanur had a smile on his face. He knew that the old thief in front of him was just talking about the situation. He didn't believe that the old thief's empire was passed down to him willingly by the late emperor. It must have been the old thief's plan that won him the throne. , thinking of this, he became more and more deeply afraid of the seemingly kind-hearted young emperor in front of him. He thought that the emperor today was still the old thief Borges.
Mu Sheng extended his hand and said: "Lord Wolf, please take a seat. Since you are here, let's catch up on old times."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."
Mu Sheng drank a glass of wine to calm down and said: "I heard that your Wolfsburg is developing rapidly now?"
Suchanur said humbly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. If your Majesty had not refused to accept my allegiance, how could I serve the former clan now?"
Mu Sheng said: "It's not too late."
When Suchanur heard this, his heart moved, and he remembered the promise made by the former Supreme Elder Long She Baiye to allow him to join the Presbyterian Church, so he politely refused: "Your Majesty, I now have more than 20,000 troops under my command in Wolf Castle, although my combat strength is not high. It’s customary, but if you rashly turn against your former clan, I’m afraid that all the achievements you’ve made in the past will be in vain in an instant. Please understand my difficulties.”
Mu Sheng secretly laughed in his heart. He knew that since the Wolf Lord was willing to go to the meeting alone, there was a possibility of bribery. At the moment, it was just a pretense.
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "It's just seven cities. Now I am sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Central Plains. Even if the three countries of Shanpu, Xizu and Taisha unite, they are not the enemies of our dynasty. Do you think I will treat you badly?" "
Suchanur was silent for a while and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Actually, I don't care much about these seven cities. The Supreme Elder has promised me to join the Council of Elders of the Past Clan as long as the overall situation is decided."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he turned around and took out a gorgeous scimitar. He took out the sword and touched the blade. He said with some meaning: "The sword is a good sword, easy to use, but difficult to control. It's a pity. ah!"
After saying this, Mu Sheng put the sword into its sheath and threw it aside.
Suchanur's hand trembled slightly as he held the wine glass. Of course he understood the emperor's implication, which meant that only a ghost believed that Longshe Baiye would let him join the Presbyterian Church. I'm using you right now. If you use it up, you will still die. , Lackey Cooking, if you really want to join, you have already joined, why wait until now? If the Xi clan really wanted to accept you sincerely, you wouldn't come here to ask for information. What conditions would you ask for joining the Presbyterian Church? I just want to sell it at a good price.
Suchanur thought for a while, pointed to the slave mark on his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I will never be able to get rid of my status as a slave in this life. The reason why I left the Doro family emblem is because of the moment. Remind me that I was once the lowest slave in the Doro family, just a dog that came and went when called upon by their family, and even lived worse than a dog."
"Even if I kill everyone in the Doro family after I become successful, even if I have tens of thousands of warriors under my command, and I own several cities, the powerful men of the past clan will not look down upon me, just because My mother is a slave, my father is also a slave, I am the son of a slave, and I am a slave among slaves. I used to be a dog of the Doro family, but now I am just a dog of the former people."
Suchanur clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "I will not even hope for the title that I will never be able to obtain. I know very well that the old man Longshe Baiye is just using me. Who is selling my life to? Your Majesty. , since I’m here today, I’m just here to sell myself and sell it for a good price, that’s all.”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he was greatly touched. He looked at Suchanur, the hall, and seemed to see himself in his previous life. He tried desperately to break away from the shackles of fate in the mortal world, but in the end he still had to accept the reality. Lower your head.
The reason why he was able to achieve everything in this life, to gain power in the world, and to lie drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, was just due to good luck and accurate reincarnation skills. He understood Suchanur's mood very well, as a slave who was as low as dust. It’s really not easy to be able to work hard to this point based on your ability.
Mu Sheng took the knife and stroked it, and said: "Being from a humble background is not a shame. Being able to bend and stretch makes you a husband. It is not easy for you to be where you are today."
When Suchanur heard this, he was shocked. These words spoke to his heart. He stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have worked hard for most of my life and am very satisfied with what I have achieved now."
Mu Sheng smiled, handed the sword to Suchanur, and said: "It's not enough, it's far from enough. Isn't Jinlin a creature in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm. Lord Wolf, would you rather be the sword holder?" ?”
Suchanur's heart trembled when he heard this. He carefully took the sword and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Mu Sheng said: "The Wolf Lord has never thought about establishing his own clan? Or should we say, become a king and become the king of the entire former clan?"
Suchanur was frightened all of a sudden. He froze on the spot and didn't know how to reply. He had just thought about this dream in his dream. He knew very well how much he weighed and how many tens of thousands of horses and cities he had in his hands. Going against the entire former clan’s powerful people? That was because he thought his life was too long, or it was possible that His Majesty was sowing discord and wanted to serve as a pawn to disrupt the current good situation of the Xi clan from within.
Thinking of this, Suchanur still calmly declined: "This... Your Majesty, you are really joking. With my little family, how can I withstand such a torment? If I dare to cause trouble, the former clan will only send one person." The deputy general is enough to destroy our Wolf Castle."
Mu Sheng said seriously: "Lord Wolf, I didn't say that you would fight alone. What if I plan to fully support you in seizing the power of the former clan? Do you dare to take a gamble?"
Seeing that Suchanur still had a hesitant look on his face, Mu Sheng continued to persuade: "You can go ahead and do it boldly. I am rich all over the world, but how many cities will I need from you? If nothing happens, you can lead the brothers of Wolfsburg and rest assured Come to Shanpup, since the former clan refuses to keep you, I will make the decision to let you join the Shanpup Council of Elders when the time comes. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you will advance and retreat in a controlled manner, how about that?"
This made Suchanur very excited. If you advance, you can achieve a royal career, and if you retreat, you can keep your fame and wealth. The only thing to worry about is whether the old thief is sincerely supporting him to become king, or is he just using him to attack the past. clan?
Mu Sheng saw that Suchanur still looked worried. Of course he knew what he was worried about, but when the matter was at hand, he had no choice but to get in the car.
Mu Sheng said in a calm tone: "If you don't take it, I will take it myself. I will become the emperor of the Central Plains, rich all over the world, and have more than a million soldiers? In addition, the mountain puppets will help me with 200,000 soldiers and horses. If I make up my mind to completely Conquer all the countries in the southern border, let alone a small ancient tribe, so what about Taisha? The army marched southward, sweeping away fallen leaves like the autumn wind, and they all fell into my palm."
After hearing this, Suchanur felt inexplicably horrified. He knew that what the emperor said was true. He couldn't help but remember that at the beginning, the Jin army only had 300,000 troops. In the southern battle, it destroyed Taisha's million-strong army. Now, the reason why the former tribe can take advantage , or almost all of Taisha's elite were lost in that battle, and their vitality has not recovered yet. Now with the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is indeed not difficult to send the army south to pacify the southern Xinjiang countries in one fell swoop. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not. None of it would affect the emperor's efforts to clean up the former clan.
Thinking of this, Suchanur no longer hesitated, half-kneeling on the ground with a knife in both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Suchanur will obey your majesty's order. From now on, all the 20,000 elite members of Wolfsburg will belong to your majesty. Your majesty asked me to go east." , I will never go west, I, Suchanur, will serve as your Majesty’s vanguard.”
Mu Sheng said with satisfaction: "Okay! Okay! Very good, I will give you this sword. From today on, I will officially canonize you as the former king. With the court as your backing, you can just go ahead and do it boldly. I wish you will achieve your royal career as soon as possible."
When Suchanur heard this, he was overjoyed. This officially gave him the title, which made him convinced that this was rebellion according to the order! Why worry about not getting things done when you're holding Tianchao Shangbang's thick legs?
Suchanur immediately bowed and saluted and said: "My lord, Suchanur wishes to see our emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Outside the royal palace in Yucheng, Suchanur held the imperial edict officially stamped by the imperial court, and the gold seal and purple ribbon, and carefully put them into his arms. From now on, it was the beginning of his official career. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart. He swore that he would trample all the dignitaries of the past clan who looked down upon him on his feet and never be able to stand up again.
