Chapter 516 The Last Trump Card
"It doesn't matter where it is." Xie Mubai smiled faintly, with a strange glint in his eyes. "What matters is that the Dog Emperor has become suspicious."
"The Third Prince has been pushed to the brink of collapse. He has to rebel even if he doesn't want to."
Shen Wan thought about it and felt that this statement did make some sense.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The third prince is too outstanding, and the crown prince, who is eager to consolidate his position, will definitely not tolerate him.
The dog emperor is already too suspicious, and with the crown prince fanning the flames, the third prince will inevitably rebel!
As long as he rebels, the prince will have no competitors and the throne will belong to him.
Although the third prince holds military power, his position in the army is not stable, and there are still many soldiers who are dissatisfied with him.
It is indeed a bit hasty to rebel at this time.
I have to say that the prince's plan was quite good.
But there was one thing that Shen Wan couldn't understand: "You said that the Third Prince fought so hard against the foreign army at the beginning. Wasn't he afraid that Tuoba Yu would be angry and publish his letters to the public?"
She didn't think so before, but ever since she met the villain, Shen Wan felt that her IQ was really not enough.
She really couldn't figure out what those smart people were doing.
Looking at her bewildered look, Xie Mubai not only did not feel disgusted at all, but instead found her very cute.
"Tuoba Yu won't do that easily." He stroked her furry little head and said with a smile, "Yes, those letters can indeed severely damage the Third Prince, but they can also hurt Tuoba Yu himself!"
"In our opinion, the Third Prince is secretly communicating with foreign nations."
"But in the eyes of the foreign Khan, it's possible that Tuoba Yu is secretly communicating with the Wei Dynasty."
"The more Tuoba Yu dominates the foreign lands, the more the Khan will be wary of him. After all, sometimes having too much power isn't always a good thing."
Although Xie Mubai was smiling, a thin layer of ice appeared in his eyes, which were like the abyss of a cold pond.
Yes, having power over the government is not a good thing.
Why did the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion fall to this point? Isn't it because his achievements surpassed his master's?
As long as the time is right, the foreign Khan will definitely not show mercy.
This is the way emperors act.
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but suddenly realized.
Well, she admitted that she was the stupidest.
"Don't think too much." Xie Mubai smiled and held her in his arms. "You have to intensify the training of the medical team in the next few days."
"I have a vague feeling that this war will soon spread to Lanyang City."
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
But Chen Wan didn't know, would it be the Third Prince or Tuoba Yu who would finally attack Lanyang City?
She didn't know, but didn't ask.
If she continued asking, she was afraid that the villain would regret falling in love with her!
never mind.
Instead of repeatedly exposing your weaknesses in front of him, it is better to do something you are good at before the army attacks the city.
So, after a short rest, Shen Wan hurried to the medicine store.
In the following days, the city remained calm, while the foreign armies still dominated the city.
Since the third prince refused to send troops, the foreign army quickly captured several important cities and marched straight towards the capital.
For a time, the court was in panic, and the people were even more worried.
The dog emperor was also furious, only the prince was secretly happy.
He immediately mobilized court officials to impeach the third prince and requested the dog emperor to take back the military power, and he was willing to be the commander-in-chief to fight against the foreign countries.
To everyone's surprise, the Dog Emperor did not agree.
Since he dared to condone the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Third Prince to murder Xie Lian, he naturally left enough cards to compete with the foreign countries.
And that trump card is Shen Yizhou!
The battle situation more than ten years ago was even more serious, but Shen Yizhou, a weak scholar, still relied on his eloquence to force Tuoba Yu to retreat to the prairie without any additional conditions.
At that time, everyone in the court admired him, and they believed that one person could be worth a million soldiers from foreign countries.
Some even said that in front of him, even the Duke of Zhenguo was not worth mentioning.
Last time, Shen Yizhou was able to resolve the issue perfectly, and the Dog Emperor had every reason to believe that he would be able to do it this time as well.
Before this trump card is played, he will never hand over the military power to the prince.
Once the foreign troops withdraw, the third prince will have to hand over his military power.
Soon, the dog emperor's imperial edict was issued.
What's strange is that this last trump card - Shen Yizhou has mysteriously disappeared.
The salt fields were still there, his entourage was still there, even his luggage was still there, but he himself was nowhere to be found.
Upon hearing the news, the Dog Emperor was really panicked.
He didn't know that at this time, Shen Yizhou had been controlled by Uncle Ya and sent to Lanyang City through a secret passage.
In the dark cave, only a kerosene lamp flickered with a lonely light in the darkness.
Shen Yizhou sat on a clean little bed, his half-worn official uniform covered in dust.
Although a little dirty, he did not look disheveled at all. Even the most tattered clothes could not conceal his innate nobility and elegance.
Suddenly, there was a very light sound of footsteps not far away.
Shen Yizhou's eyes tightened, and he looked up with a vigilant look.
With the help of that little light, I saw a tall man walking slowly towards me.
His white clothes were as white as snow, his hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were even more terrifyingly bright in the darkness.
At first glance, it looks like a banished immortal who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake.
"So it's you!" Shen Yizhou looked at him and couldn't help but sneered, "Xie Mubai, I can tell that you are not a good person. You look like a traitor at first glance."
"If I had known this would happen, I would never have given in. I would have taken Wan'er away even if it cost me my life!"
Xie Mubai walked forward slowly and sat down on a chair opposite Shen Yizhou.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold and terrifying: "If you really want to do this for Wan'er's own good, then just stay here peacefully."
"Don't worry, for Wan'er's sake, I won't hurt your life."
Shen Yizhou raised his eyebrows, his face full of disdain.
"Do you think I'm a coward?" He smiled coldly.
Shen Yizhou is certainly not a coward who is afraid of death.
If that were the case, he would not have gone into the enemy camp alone.
Xie Mubai was not a fool either, and he clearly saw the disdain on Shen Yizhou’s face.
He curled his lips, a faint smile spreading across his beautiful face: "Of course you are not."
"It's true that you're not afraid of death, but you're a complete coward!"
When Shen Yizhou heard that this young boy dared to call him a coward, he became furious.
"Xie Mubai, don't go too far!" He stood up from the bed with a "whoosh", two flames of anger rising from his scarlet eyes. "Even if your father were still alive, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like this!"
You can call him bad, call him stupid, but Shen Yizhou will never allow anyone to call him a coward!
He is a man, a man of integrity!
This was the reason why Wang Si was willing to make friends with him.
"You still don't admit that you're a coward?" Looking at those angry eyes, Xie Mubai laughed coldly, "You clearly love Wang Si deeply, but you don't dare to fight for her. If that's not a coward, what is it?"
When Shen Yizhou heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"I'm not as shameless as you. I'm old and still seducing young girls!" He frowned and cursed angrily.
"It's true that I'm shameless, but I succeeded. I don't want to leave any regrets in this life!" Xie Mubai looked at him coldly, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. "I just want to ask you one thing, do you regret it?"
"If you had been a little braver, Wang Si might have been the wife of the Censor."
