After Mo Rongzhan confirmed that the soldiers in Anhe City were just ordinary citizens of the Dark North Kingdom, he changed his strategy. If Anhe City did not take the initiative to fight, he would only let the Jin soldiers train in the barracks and not take the initiative to fight.
Hai Gang thought that Mo Rongzhan was afraid of them, so the two armies wasted time like this. Only Qi Ruoshui watched anxiously from the side.
If Mo Rongzhan did not fight, she would not have a chance to attack him. In this way, how could she use Mo Rongzhan to negotiate with Wan Ziliang? Qi Ruoshui looked at the distant Xia Province and thought to herself, "Now it depends on whether the capital can be defended."
So what if Wanyan Xi became the King? More than 80% of the ministers in the Western Liang court were her people. Could Wanyan Xi be the King?
She was just a little surprised that Huang Fuchen could make the King of Western Liang wake up so quickly. She had been too lenient with the King of Western Liang.
"Witch King, if Wanyan Xi becomes the King, will he negotiate with the Jin Kingdom?" The person who asked was Chu Li, who had just come from the Wilderness. After Fan Luduo was killed, Wan Ziliang did not like him. He could not stand Wan Ziliang's arrogance, so he turned around to look for Qi Ruoshui.
Qi Ruoshui said lightly, "Even if Wanyan Xi becomes the King, who knows how long he can be the King. The whole Western Liang knows that he killed his mother. How many ministers in the court believe him?"
A minister in the court would not listen to a King. So what if she let him have his prestige for a few days? When she settled things here, she would go back to deal with the father and son.
"Witch King, then how can we get Wan Ziliang to lend us troops? It seems that the alliance agreement we signed with the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom is not effective," Chu Li said.
Qi Ruoshui frowned, "Indeed, if Wan Ziliang does not lend us troops, many things cannot be done. Hai Gang said that if we want Wan Ziliang to agree to our request, then we have to come up with conditions that are beneficial to him. I have thought about it, and the only thing that can move Wan Ziliang is Mo Rongzhan."
"Mo Rongzhan uses troops like a god. The people around him are like iron walls. How can we get close to him?" Chu Li asked in surprise.
"Mo Rongzhan does not have any weaknesses." Even though Qi Ruoshui had seen countless people, she had to admit that Mo Rongzhan was the most outstanding and powerful man she had seen in many years. Moreover, he was deeply in love with Lu Yaoyao and did not even touch other women for her sake. Huangfu Jiulan claimed to love Cheluan the most, but he still gave birth to her and left behind countless love affairs outside.
Chu Li said in a low voice, "I heard that he dotes on the Empress of Jin Kingdom, Lu Shi. For the sake of Lu Shi, he did not hesitate to distance himself from the Empress Dowager. Shaman King, isn't Lu Shi in your hands?"
Qi Ruoshui coldly snorted, "I'm afraid the Lu family is no longer in this world."
"What?" Chu Li was shocked.
"When she was rescued by Qian Luosha, she didn't know that she was poisoned. Without my antidote, she won't be able to live for long." Qi Ruoshui said coldly, "However, no one knows that she is dead. Mo Rongzhan probably still thinks that she is alive."
When Chu Li heard this, he suddenly had an idea, "Since Mo Rongzhan doesn't know that Lu Yaoyao is dead, what if we use Lu Yaoyao to bait him? The Priest Hall's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world. We can make a ninety percent similar Lu Yaoyao, right?"
Qi Ruoshui heard this and was moved, "This is worth considering, but we still have to wait for Lu Lingzhi's news."
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, Sima Jian and the others met General Ye on the road and have already gone to the wilderness with him." Wang Qu walked behind Mo Rongzhan and said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan was watching the soldiers training. When he heard Wang Qu's words, he just nodded lightly, "Is there any news of Wang Cuo?"
"They just entered the city yesterday, and there is no news yet." Wang Qu said.
"Yes." Mo Rongzhan's deep eyes looked in the direction of the Northern Dark Kingdom. As long as they safely sneak into the Northern Dark Kingdom, the next thing would be much easier.
Wang Qu looked at the soldiers who were still in high spirits, "Your Majesty, we are only training the soldiers now, are we not doing anything else?"
"Has there been any movement from Hai Gang?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"No, even Qi Ruoshui who is in the city has not moved at all." Wang Qu said.
Mo Rongzhan pondered, "Let's wait."
Wang Qu did not know what Mo Rongzhan was planning, but he felt that the Emperor's decision would not be wrong.
Mo Rongzhan watched silently on the platform for a while, then turned and returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
Seeing Wu Chong waiting outside the door, the coldness in his eyes eased a little, "There is news of the Empress?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress has not left Western Liang yet. She is treating the Sixth Marquis with Shen Yi. The people from the Priest Hall are too busy to go after them." Wu Chong lowered his head and bowed, "Mr. Huangfu has helped Wanyan Xi convince the court officials. Now that Wanyan Xi is the King of Western Liang, I believe that he will be free to deal with the Witch King soon."
With Huangfu Chen helping Wanyan Xi in Western Liang, he would definitely be able to secure his position as the King. However, Qi Ruoshui was not someone who could be defeated so easily. She must have some tricks up her sleeves.
"Wang Qu." Mo Rongzhan called out in a deep voice, "Write a letter to Wanyan Xi for me. Let him raze the Priest Hall to the ground. Other things can be discussed."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Qu answered and left.
Mo Rongzhan entered the room and Eunuch Fu delivered a letter from Donglai. It was written by Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing and Jin Lou had captured Donglai. Because Qi Ruoshui sent troops to support Pingjing, they were still confronting Tuoba Qiu. In addition to the war, Ye Yiqing was most concerned about Ye Zhen's whereabouts.
If he told Ye Yiqing that Ye Zhen was still in Western Liang and was treating Murong Ke, would he understand?
Mo Rongzhan sighed in his heart. He wanted to see Ye Zhen as soon as possible more than anyone else. She was the most precious treasure in his heart in this life. Now that she was not by his side and the danger was unknown, there was not a day that he did not miss her.
When would his Yao Yao return to his side?
Mo Rongzhan wrote in the letter that Ye Zhen was still in Western Liang. He did not want Ye Yiqing to worry too much about his daughter.
Ye Yiqing, who was far away in Hirai, received Mo Rongzhan's letter a few days later. After reading it, he pondered for a moment and said to Jin Lou, "General Jin, it seems like we have to go all out."
Jin Lou looked at him in surprise. "Lord Ye, did you not do your best these days?"
Ye Yiqing glanced at him indifferently. "I don't need to go all out against these small fries."
"…" Jin Lou almost wanted to kneel before him. Wasn't the man in front of him the Prime Minister of Dongqing Kingdom? Why did he seem to have divine help when he fought? How could he, a general, endure this?
"I'll only be able to find Yaoyao after we take down the well," Ye Yiqing said in a low voice.
"Lord Ye, Tuoba Qiu is not that useless general from Donglai. He is a famous general from Xiliang," Jin Lou said. He wanted to let Ye Yiqing know that it was not that easy to conquer a level well.
"So what?" Ye Yiqing asked indifferently.
"No, I'll listen to Lord Ye's orders," Jin Lou said. He admired Ye Yiqing so much that he didn't know what to say.
