"What's going on?" Liu Mo asked anxiously.
Wei Guang also got seriously ill last time and asked the prince to supervise the country. Will this time...
"Your Majesty is unconscious!" Li Jinliang announced.
Liu Mo was shocked. I met Wei Guang years ago. Although he looked old and thin, he was very healthy and did not appear to be suffering from any disease. "Is the news reliable?"
"It came from Mr. Huang Ge's order!" Bai Chengzong told Liu Mo, "The Sixth Prince is not in Jizhou at the moment, but I have sent someone to ask him for confirmation!"
News about Huang Shouren? That can’t be fake!
"This is unreasonable!" Liu Mo couldn't think of any words to express his inner thoughts. He felt that if Wei Guang was really critically ill, it was very likely that he was being persecuted.
Because, the female assassin previously revealed the news to him that someone was trying to kill Wei Guang!
Liu Mo has told Bai Chengzong and Bai Chengzong about this news. They don't know how to deal with the unsubstantiated matter.
Ba Baili hurriedly informed Wei Guang, "Your Majesty, please pay attention! There is a rogue saying that someone wants to harm you? I don't know who it is!"
The more critical issue is that the female assassin who revealed the news has disappeared!
"Were you really harmed by bad guys?" Bai Chengzong looked solemn.
"The matter has not yet been decided." Li Jinliang also looked ugly, "The prince is supervising the country, and I am afraid that he will go to war with the Zhou Dynasty!"
"I'm afraid the trouble is more than this!" Liu Mo said, "Rong Xiaguan said frankly that the reason why His Highness the Sixth Prince and the First Prince did not fall out is that His Majesty is still alive!
If His Majesty has any shortcomings, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm! "
Of course Bai Chengzong knew what Liu Mo wanted to express.
The eldest prince has his own power and is in charge of tens of thousands of troops. The sixth prince and the prince also have subordinates who are loyal to them.
Once Wei Guang falls, will these three brothers hide with you?
What made Liu Mo and others even more upset was that it happened at the time when the Zhou Dynasty troops were gathering at the border.
With external and internal troubles, Daxia is in danger!
"This general is going to Jizhou to find out what's going on!" Bai Chengzong said.
"No!" Li Jinliang advised, "Without orders from the Ministry of War and His Majesty, you and I are not allowed to leave our posts without authorization. Mr. Liu, you too! I hope you won't do anything stupid."
Liu Mo smiled bitterly. If it had been before, he could have relied on Wei Guang's "favour" to do something extraordinary.
Now Wei Guang is critically ill, and the person in charge of the country is the prince. Will the prince let go of the serious crime of leaving the border without permission?
The weather is changing in the summer, but I can only hold it in at the border! This feeling, don't mention how uncomfortable it is.
"Master Liu, General Bai, and Mr. Huang Ge also asked us to wait and see what happens." Li Jinliang said, "Now we can only pray to God to protect our emperor. There is no other way! You two, go back and rest first."
After leaving, Liu Mo seemed to be in a dream. He couldn't remember standing up, let alone how to leave the room.
"That old man Wei Guang is very kind to me!" He thought to himself, "To be able to promote a plain-headed commoner with no birth and no background like this! And to entrust me with such a heavy responsibility, even Princess Xingluo can give it to me.
Old Man Wei, you must not die! Daxia needs you, and I, Liu Mo, need you too! "
At sunset, a northerly wind blew, but it was extremely cold in this March spring.
~~~
On the third day, a more severe test came.
I wonder if the Zhou Dynasty also received the news that Wei Guang was critically ill. The 10,000 troops led by Shi Gandang had advanced ten miles and began to build siege equipment at the same time, with the intention of attacking the city.
Not only that, the fourth peace talks were postponed, and the conditions were doubled. As for marrying a princess? just kidding!
A few days later, Liu Mo was suddenly awakened from his sleep at night.
"Who?" he shouted.
The light of torches spilled in from the open door, but in the bedroom the only source of light was a dying oil lamp beside the bed.
A black shadow slowly walked toward him, and he couldn't help but tremble all over. "It can't be another assassin from Guanhua Palace!"
After Tang Qingfeng took away the female assassin last time, this guy started to show off.
The other party walked into the candlelight range, looked at Liu Mo's face with interest, and chuckled: "Are you in trouble?"
"Where have you been?" Liu Mo asked the other party, "The last time I saw you... it should have been five days ago."
"It's only four days," Tang Qingfeng said, "Besides, I come to see you every night, and you sleep like a dead pig."
Liu Mo sat up from the bed, "Why did you come to me this time in the middle of the night?"
"I bring you some news." Tang Qingfeng said, "Do you want to hear it?"
"Is it related to this war? Tell me quickly!"
"Daxia has withdrawn its troops from Xingluo!"
"When?" Liu Mo frowned.
The eldest prince's attitude towards Xing Luo, if his generals were asked to go to support him, Xing Luo might not know how he would be treated. For this reason, Wei Guang sent the subordinates of the Sixth Prince this time.
Withdrawal means how serious the situation is.
"The day after you received the news that Emperor Daxia was critically ill."
"What?" Liu Mo was surprised, "Bai Chengzong and the others are hiding it from me?"
"Is it weird? What would you do if you knew this news?" Tang Qingfeng said, "Try your best to lead troops to Xingluo, right?"
This is not nonsense, Ayina, and I, the child in her belly.
Suddenly, Liu Mo's face darkened, and he seemed to have thought of something.
What kind of changes made the Sixth Prince decide to withdraw his troops...
"Stop guessing." Tang Qingfeng grinned, "The Emperor of Great Xia has passed away!"
Old Man Wei...is dead?
"Conspired?" Liu Mo asked.
"You can say it like this!" Tang Qingfeng said, "The news from the Imperial Hospital is that he died of illness, but looking at the hundreds of years since the founding of Daxia, we have never heard of a person's condition deteriorating so quickly.
Last month was Concubine Zhao's birthday, and His Majesty held a birthday banquet for her. If you had seen him on that day, you would have thought that he was healthy enough to live a long life. But just five days later he was bedridden, and died on the seventh day. "
"Tell me the truth, was it poisoning?"
Tang Qingfeng is a top assassin and must be very proficient in poisons.
"It sounds like Tianlingxun Flower Poison. It is colorless, odorless, and mildly toxic. The poisoned person will be no different from ordinary people for the first three days." Tang Qingfeng told him, "This poison is worth a lot of money. One drop costs a hundred taels of gold."
One of the prince and the eldest prince! Liu Mo thought to himself.
"The reason why His Highness the Sixth Prince withdrew his troops was to find out the truth?" he asked.
"Otherwise?" Tang Qingfeng shrugged. "After His Majesty passed away, the Crown Prince couldn't wait to recruit His Highness the Sixth Prince to go to Jizhou. I don't need to say more about the purpose."
Lie him back and kill him!
The Sixth Prince was not a fool, and of course he could see through the Prince's tricks.
I will definitely go back to Jizhou. His own father died unexpectedly, and as a son, he must find out the truth. But how could he go there alone? He must have summoned his subordinates to withdraw the Xingluo army and fight back to Jizhou.
The wheels of war seem to be turning and cannot be stopped.
