Chapter 146 The final word
Chapter 146 The final word
As if they had agreed in advance, everyone slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up slowly.
After breakfast, Zixuan brought the carefully prepared breakfast to Bai Xinyin's room.
"Did anything happen this morning?" Bai Xinyin asked casually while eating buns.
"There is nothing special, except that there are a lot more people in the post station. I heard that they are preparing to welcome the Xiongnu King Dugu Feng."
"You're so quick!" Bai Xinyin frowned slightly, picked up a shrimp bun and put it in her mouth to chew slowly, "Are you here today?"
"No, it is said that we will arrive here tomorrow morning. We are busy packing and tidying up now. All the items are brand new, and we are also starting to decorate everywhere." Zixuan enthusiastically recounted the news she heard from others.
"Well, the officials of Wei State are well prepared..." Bai Xinyin paused for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he waved for Zixuan to come closer, lowering his voice and saying: "Zixuan, go to the Baguamen contact office quickly and inform Nanfeng..."
Zi Xuan was stunned when she heard this, but seeing Bai Xinyin's serious expression, she nodded quickly and left in a hurry to do her business.
After resting in the middle of the night, Mu Yunxiao also regained his spirit. He stood up and went to the basin, carefully washed his face, and tidied his clothes. The man in the mirror had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face, as if he was an immortal descending to earth. The fatigue of last night had disappeared without a trace.
The purpose of his visit to Wei this time was to promote marriage between the two countries and protect the third prince. He also came through a clear route and carried official documents.
The reason why he was able to put aside the matter of Zhao State was that he had the support of the emperor. The emperor believed Bai Xinyin's words without a doubt. The more he thought about it, the more serious it was. He thought that the third prince and Bai Xinyin were young, and if one of them was not careful, the vast country would be ruined in the hands of others.
So Mu Yunxiao was sent here in the name of protection.
Mu Yunxiao naturally did not dare to be negligent. Because he had someone in his heart, he rushed here day and night, regardless of wind and rain.
At this moment, a commotion was heard from outside. It turned out that a group of court officials arrived at the entrance of the post station, claiming that Prince Rong had come to visit them.
After some greetings, the two sides sat down as host and guest and started chatting. Of course, there were all kinds of official jargon and hypocritical flattery, but everyone understood it tacitly and seemed to be having fun on the surface.
After the Wei official exchanged greetings, he said that the Emperor of Wei would personally host a banquet for Prince Rong in the evening, and asked him to have a good rest in the inn, and then took his leave.
After the Wei officials left, the third prince invited everyone to his room to discuss matters.
So the group filed in and came to the residence of the third prince. Everyone found that the third prince had dark circles under his eyes, as if he did not rest well last night.
After everyone was seated, the Third Prince ordered someone to guard the door. He also had someone check the surroundings to make sure no one was eavesdropping before entering the house.
The third prince spoke first: "We didn't have a direct confrontation with the Imperial Master yesterday, but just from a single encounter, we could already feel that his power is unfathomable!"
After saying that, he frowned slightly, seeming to be worried about the next action.
"From what the State Master said yesterday, it seems that the State of Wei is looking for three treasures. Is this the same thing as what Ninth Sister said?"
"I think it should be about the same, but how should we do it?" Bai Xinyin asked this question.
"If Wei wants to use Kunlun's magic weapon to unify the nine provinces, then our Zhao will definitely be annexed."
……
……
The room was quiet and everyone was silent. Bai Xinyin had also thought about this question last night and didn't know what to say at this moment.
"We must stop them! I heard that the Emperor of Wei is not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also quite cruel and violent." Huangfu Yan said in a low voice.
"Yes, I totally agree. We should do our best to stop it!" Mei Jiu echoed excitedly.
That's true. If I don't stop it, I'm afraid my own Yuan Dan will be taken away by that bald donkey. Then I won't even be able to maintain my human form, let alone become an immortal. I might even go west.
"So, what does the prince think?" Bai Xinyin turned his gaze to Mu Yunxiao again.
"There is no doubt that we have to take control of the overall situation before them!" Mu Yunxiao spoke with a firm tone and decisive attitude, like a god of war. His words showed leadership and persuasiveness. He made the final decision and just did it.
Bai Xinyin did not respond. In fact, the Bagua Sect she belonged to knew a lot about the situation in Wei. Although the Emperor of Wei was cruel, hard-hearted and arbitrary, he also had some good points. For example, the laws of Wei were strict and the people's lives were relatively stable. Although he was autocratic and tyrannical, he could be regarded as a wise monarch in governing the country.
Compared with the emperor of Wei, the current monarch of Zhao is much more benevolent. It can be said that he cares about the world and shows kindness to all people. Although Zhao's productivity is slightly inferior to Wei's, as long as it is given enough time to develop and progress, all aspects will gradually be improved and perfected. If the third prince can inherit the throne in the future and continue these good national policies, then the people of Zhao will surely be able to live and work in peace and enjoy the blessings of peace and prosperity.
However, if the expansion of Wei is not stopped and its power is allowed to grow until it dominates the world, the people of Zhao will suffer from bullying and oppression under the rule of Wei. At that time, they will lose their rights to freedom and equality and live in dire straits. In this way, Zhao will no longer be as prosperous as before, which is undoubtedly a situation that all people today do not want to see.
Therefore, for the sake of Zhao's future and the well-being of its people, action must be taken to curb Wei's ambitions. Only in this way can Zhao's independence be protected from infringement, and its people be spared from the suffering of war and enjoy peace and happiness.
Bai Xinyin fell into deep thought, her thoughts gradually drifting to the distant history. She thought of the once glorious Yuan Dynasty, when the Mongolian cavalry roamed the world, unified the country, and established a huge empire.
However, although the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and became one of the largest countries in the world at that time, it had serious social problems. In this seemingly powerful country, people were divided into different classes, and the hierarchy was extremely strict.
The upper class nobles enjoyed endless wealth and splendor, while the lower class people lived in poverty and misery. This inequality made social contradictions increasingly acute, and the people were full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Thinking of this, looking at the lovely and beautiful Mei Jiu, thinking about that old bald donkey still wanting her Yuandan, I thought, don't even think about it? I thought too much yesterday, and I was too soft-hearted.
What big picture is there? Protect the people around you first. Then he said: "Then let's pack up and find a way to deal with this matter immediately!"
"Okay!" Several people said in unison.
"Well, let's make a plan and act at night. We will split our troops into two groups. One group will leave the city and arrange a retreat route, while the other group will go to the palace to bring out A'Luo and Kongtong Mirror." Mu Yunxiao ordered immediately.
After careful consideration, several people worked out a detailed and thorough plan.
At this moment, the sun gradually tilts to the west, and the afterglow falls on the earth, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze.
