Chapter 408: Forced to Abdicate

Several guards could hardly hold back their laughter.

Xie Jingci, who had been nervous because of Lu Wanyin's frequent actions recently, smiled.

The commander was completely upset: "Isn't it said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"

The heroine doesn't accept the benefits that are delivered to her door

He stuttered and was speechless for a moment.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What kind of perverse logic is this?"

Lu Wanyin didn't follow his idea at all: "You have two paths to choose from now.

Or, you can go back and tell Marquis Chenyang to behave himself.

Or I will send someone to send your head back to warn Marquis Chenyang to behave himself.

You choose.”

Is this still a choice?

The commander said with a sad face: "I want to go back by myself."

Lu Wanyin smiled and waved her hand: "Goodbye."

When the commander left Xie's army, he felt like he had aged ten years.

I thought it was a great achievement, but now I have to face the reality.

It’s good enough if I can save my life.

The 100,000-strong army, which had been forced to retreat before even fighting, finally stopped retreating.

They were all detained directly.

Lu Wanyin did not include these 100,000 people in the team attacking the imperial city.

She sent a hundred elite soldiers to escort the entire team to the border.

It was the place that was jointly harassed by the two countries.

She was worried about putting it somewhere else. If it was here, it would not only deter the two countries, but also help collect grain.

There were only a hundred people escorting an army of one hundred thousand, and no one dared to resist.

The powerful deterrent power of Zizai Peak has caused a saying to spread among countries.

No matter how many people you have, you still have to help others plow the fields.

The 100,000-strong army disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean, leaving not even a sound behind.

The queen waited until the end, only to receive the news that these people were sent to the border.

Lu Wanyin's reply came, but she didn't say anything she should have said.

He only named the commander of the guards at Chenyang Marquis's Mansion and had her men killed.

The Queen completely gave up the idea of ​​finding a breakthrough from Lu Wanyin and the others.

The possibility of peace talks was shattered.

The queen thought it over again and again, locked herself in the imperial study for a whole day, thought for a long time, and wrote a letter to Mu Linyuan personally.

Before the barbarians rebelled, Mu Linyuan made frequent big moves.

Now he has inexplicably obtained Shui Yu's military power. He has fought many battles but deliberately bypassed Da Sheng.

Since he had the ambition to do so, she took the initiative to give the benefits to him.

"Now I can only cut off my tail to survive. What I have given away, I will definitely take back bit by bit in the future."

The letter flew out of the imperial city.

The next day, Mu Linyuan, who was far away in Shuiyu, was flipping through the intelligence from Dasheng when he saw a special letter tucked inside.

He scanned the whole thing and raised his eyebrows. "To exchange ten cities of Dasheng for Shui Yu's troops to aid the queen of Dasheng, that's quite ambitious."

Mu Linyuan held the piece of paper lightly and thought of a woman who had often made him suffer.

He shook his head and sighed, "Yes, I admire ambitious women. But unfortunately, ambition is not enough. Without sufficient strength, one can only bring about self-destruction."

Mu Linyuan pondered for a long time, picked up his pen and wrote two letters, while flying towards the Dasheng Imperial City.

He was in a very good mood.

It looks like we can sell those two people again.

The queen waited anxiously all night, not daring to close her eyes.

Finally, Mu Linyuan's reply letter arrived in her hands the next afternoon.

The queen felt much more relaxed.

A reply would be good news. She was afraid that Shui Yu would also be concerned about Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin's reputation and would not dare to take action.

Duke Xuan of Qi entered the palace early in the morning and had been waiting since then.

He couldn't even drink water unless he knew the result immediately.

The queen unfolded the letter and scanned it, her face suddenly becoming terribly gloomy.

Duke Xuan of Qi was shocked: "So, have they agreed? Can't even ten cities move them?"

"No, he didn't refuse."

The queen looked as upset as if she had eaten a fly: "He doesn't want the city, but wants something else."

"Hey, give him what he wants first. Let's get through this crisis first."

Duke Xuan of Qi jumped up high and walked around the room anxiously several times.

Seeing the Queen's face becoming increasingly grim, he also realized something was wrong: "What exactly do they want? Is it possible that we who are in charge of Dasheng now can't give it to them?"

"He wants a mine, any kind of mine. He wants us to give him the location, and what's inside, only they can dig for a year."

The queen's face was gloomy, almost dripping with water: "Greedy."

Duke Xuan of Qi was stunned for a moment: "The mine will only be mined for a year, so why don't you just give it to him? How much can be mined in a year? We have already given him ten cities, so we won't give up all our efforts on such a small matter."

"What do you know?"

The queen's face turned pale and she slammed the table and stood up.

Realizing that her tone was inappropriate, she quickly softened her tone, "There are no discovered mines in Dasheng."

"What"

Duke Xuan of Qi did not expect that this would be the question.

He was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "How can there not be a single mine? Think about it, the Dasheng is so vast, how can there not be a single mine?"

The Queen slowly sat down. "Maybe there are, but we don't know. The Emperor has always been wary of me. Even the mines that mysteriously disappeared, there are still several I didn't know about."

“What should I do?”

Duke Xuan of Qi sighed deeply, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "The emperor's legs are just not good now, but his mind is still clear. Why not find a way to pry open his mouth?

If that guy dares not to speak up... Anyway, once the barbarians come in, we won't be able to stay here anymore. I guess no one will care whether he's dead or alive."

"It seems there is no better way."

The queen pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out decisively: "I will go and talk to the emperor.

You should go back now and investigate carefully to see if there is anyone else who is close to Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin.

If there are any, arrest them all.

Remember, if they are really from their side, like Lu Xiangrou, don't mention them.

Also, be careful not to disturb the Shadow."

"Okay, okay."

Duke Xuan of Qi quickly agreed: "I will go now."

When the Xie family was exiled, they were almost deserted by everyone in the capital, and all those who had a good relationship with them were in the exile team.

When the queen mentioned someone who had a good relationship with Lu Wanyin, someone subconsciously popped up in Qi Xuanhou's mind.

Xu family of Fanzhou.

The Xu family is considered a relative of Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin. Xie Ziqian and Xu Yinghe, a family of four, now live in Zizai Peak.

When Mu Ji took revenge on the Lin family of Fanzhou, someone came forward to protect Xu.

Until now, she is still imprisoned in Fanzhou Prison.

There is no one else who can easily save her except Zizai Peak.

If I could get my hands on her...
