The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 148: Xiao 9 wants to unify the world?

Xucheng's Prince Jing Muchen was the first to receive the emperor's letter, and he was so angry that his head was about to smoke.

"Brother Crown Prince, what is our father talking about? If Toya marries Xiaojiu, then you..." Wouldn't that be a joke?

As the crown prince and the future king, now that he has finally got a queen, she is insisting on marrying a prince who is not the crown prince, and is willing to hand over her kingdom to him. Isn't this obviously a trick on the crown prince?

Such a powerful force cannot be compared with the power of any minister of Lingyin Kingdom. After all, Beisai is a country that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lingyin Kingdom.

"Brother Crown Prince..." The Fifth Prince looked at the Crown Prince's dark face and said, "Why don't we ask Father to confirm if he really wants to do this?"

"The imperial edicts are all here. What else is there to ask?" The prince sat down on the chair dejectedly.

"Brother Prince, if Xiaojiu really marries the queen of Beisai, then our good days will be over. Father is so happy that he doesn't care about your feelings at all. Brother Prince, is father going to give up on us?" Jing Muhao complained seemingly unintentionally.

"It's not us, it's me." The prince took over and corrected him, "Xiao Wu, it's still early, you can still switch sides and go to Xiao Jiu's side, I guarantee that you won't be implicated by me in the future."

"Xiaojiu has a bad temper. He almost beat me to death before. Besides, he doesn't like me. I'm afraid of him." Jing Muhao shrank his neck. "Brother Crown Prince, how about you think of a solution?"

"What do you think? Father has sent people to pick me up here. Who will listen to me once I get to Xucheng?"

"Your Highness!" A soldier came in hurriedly from outside.

"Your Highness, there is urgent military information. There are spies from the Northern Frontier who have invaded Xu City. They have joined forces with the large number of refugees that Your Highness the King of War had taken in before and are now gathering in the north of Xu City. There are already 30,000 to 40,000 people!"

"What?!" The prince was shocked.

"Brother Crown Prince, what should we do? This matter was caused by Xiaojiu. We have long said that we cannot accept so many refugees. Now there are 30,000 to 40,000 people in the city, and the Queen of the Northern Frontier has 100,000 cavalry outside the city. Brother Crown Prince, the army that our father has transferred here is only 60,000 to 70,000. How can we have a chance of winning?

Hurry up and contact Xiaojiu and ask him to come back to command. He has 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and Jincheng also has 20,000 or 30,000. They all listen to Xiaojiu. If we unite, we may be able to resist."

"Fifth Prince, no! The Queen of Beisai has announced to the world that she wants Prince Zhan to be her husband. It is also rumored that the seal of the King of Beisai is in the hands of Prince Zhan. These refugees are holding the flag of Prince Zhan, supporting him to be king and to unify the world.

The War King has successfully reunited with the Queen of the Northern Frontier in Linxi City, and he is probably waiting for us to open the city gates." The soldier said anxiously.

"Hurry up and call all the military officers over. This is a very serious matter."

Jing Muhao waved his hand and asked the soldier to call for help. If this was true, it would contradict the message he had just received. No matter how to deal with it, it couldn't be decided by just him and the prince. If things went wrong, the consequences would be too serious.

"Brother Crown Prince, if Xiaojiu really agrees to marry the Queen of Beisai and wants to unify the world, what should we do?"

"Probably not. Xiaojiu doesn't have that intention."

"But he has the ability. If someone else instigates it, it will be hard to say.

You see, the emperor warned him so much, but he didn't listen. He was the one who let the refugees in, and it was his idea to break the whole into small ones. Moreover, he personally paid for the resettlement of those refugees, several million taels in total, and he didn't even blink an eye. Where did he get so much money to squander?

And the food, brother Crown Prince, didn't you notice? This year, Lingyin Kingdom has been experiencing bad weather, so where did all the food come from? I heard that Nanbang was eager to sell us food and medicine for some reason.

Especially for grain, it was not transported via trade routes, but the Prince of Nanbang sent a letter directly to my father, and even the price was cheaper than the market price. We have been fighting with Nanbang for more than 20 years, how could such a good thing happen?

He had specially given Xiaojiu a life-saving pill before. A few years ago, our Lingyin could have destroyed Nanbang in one fell swoop, so why did we just sign a painless agreement of paying tribute in the end?

I seriously suspect that they have colluded or reached some kind of deal in private! Maybe what Xiaoliu said is true, and Xiaoqi may have found out something and was silenced! "

The prince fell into deep thought. Xiaoliu said that Xiaoqi suspected Chujian of colluding with Nanbang, so he had been secretly investigating Chujian.

If it was indeed Xiaoqi who caused Chu Jian to fall into the water at Minister Liu's house, then maybe Xiaoqi already had some evidence, otherwise why would he take such a big risk to kill Chu Jian?

Moreover, the maid named Jinxiang was brought back from Nan'an. There are also many people from Nanbang in Nan'an, so it's hard to say.

The most important thing is that Xiaoqi once said that his father was secretly investigating Chujian’s identity. Could it be that Chujian is not the prime minister’s daughter?

If you think about it carefully, Chu Jian and Chu Xia have the same father, but they really don't look alike at all.

"Brother Crown Prince, we can't let Lingyin Kingdom be destroyed in our hands!" The fifth prince looked heartbroken.

"Ever since Xiaojiu came back to life and brought back a mysterious princess, the entire court has never been at peace, and we have all suffered losses, but Xiaojiu is the biggest beneficiary, not only is she unscathed, but she has also gained both fame and fortune.

He always obeyed orders before, but do you think he still obeys the emperor's orders now? Why doesn't he even listen to his father's will? Brother Crown Prince, I seriously suspect that he has bigger plans!"

Several deputy generals who joined the army heard the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince arguing in the room but did not dare to go in. They stood outside and listened to every word.

The Fourth Prince was placed under house arrest by these two, and the entire Xucheng War King's forces were either taken away by the Crown Prince without bringing back many of them, or were transferred to Jincheng, or were suppressed and unable to make any waves, otherwise Jing Muyang would not have been ambushed on his way back.

The current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the War King.

The Crown Prince was very annoyed. Everything the Fifth Prince said was true. He didn't know what Jing Muyang was thinking. On the one hand, he said that he would not be the King of Beisai and would go back to Lingyin Kingdom, and on the other hand, he ordered the Beisai cavalry to attack Xucheng.

However, just as he ordered the capture of the War King and brought him back to the city, Xiaojiu again avoided the fight and went to Linxi. Just when he thought he might have misunderstood Xiaojiu, Toya led her troops to attack again.

The prince rubbed his head, he really didn’t know what Jing Muyang was thinking!

There are many things that the prince doesn't know. After all, Jing Muyang never attacked Xucheng. It was Buhe who lied about Jing Muyang's order, which led to the prince sending troops to capture Jing Muyang. Jing Muyang could not return to the city and had to flee to Linxi.

This information is a mixture of true and false, false and true, and there is a lot of mystery involved.

However, the prince is no longer worried about these things. It doesn’t matter whether Jing Muyang wants to rebel or not.

Now that this situation has arisen, he and Jing Muyang are on opposite sides.
