Chapter 375: Greetings to Queen Xiling
Things suddenly became complicated.
He was originally just investigating the reasons for Yunqin's successive failures, but ended up dragging Darong into the water.
The last time Su Jiuni was ambushed in the woods, Yun Qin took the stage, while Darong and Dong Pu stood by and watched. Afterwards, Mo Liren's defense offended the two countries, creating a rift between them.
This time, Mo Liren pulled out Darong's Forget-Soul Flower, and everyone became confused and couldn't help but think of what happened last time, and conspiracy theories inevitably emerged.
Is it true that Darong and Dongpu had been torn apart by Mo Liren, so they took this opportunity to take revenge on Yun Qin?
If so, then in addition to Darong, Dongpu is probably also involved.
But the exact facts remain to be investigated.
The leaders of the other countries were discussing in low voices, and Darong and Dongpu were already at odds with each other.
"A righteous man has nothing to fear from his own shadow! King Mobei, I, Old Mo, believe in your character and personality. I will never be partial to you and pervert justice just because Darong is attached to Beixiang. You will definitely clear my name as Yun Qin!" Mo Liren blurred the focus of the matter, said the last sentence, and stepped aside. After playing the role of troublemaker, he hid his achievements and fame.
Darong was stabbed repeatedly and nearly died. He wished he could kill Mo Liren with one blow.
Dongpu was tactful and reserved at this point, sensing that Commander Mo, seemingly the weakest, was actually a tough nut to crack. The situation was unclear, so he decided to avoid making mistakes and getting dragged down.
"The evidence is here. Let King Mobei decide who is right and who is wrong!" Someone spoke, and soon there was a chorus of responses.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Renjing.
Regardless of whether they are big, medium or small countries, all those present are safeguarding the interests of their own dynasties, so it is naturally impossible for them to follow the orders of other countries' princes.
The reason why everyone unanimously asked the King of Mobei to make the decision was not only because the incident happened in Beixiang territory, but also because it was a hot potato.
Yunqin, Darong and Dongpu are all independent entities regardless of their size, and they all occupy a place in the Central Plains. It would be best if we could avoid offending or making enemies with them.
Therefore, the commanders were very united at this time. Since the incident happened in Beixiang’s territory, let the Beixiang people deal with the offending things.
Wenren Jing sat there, his eyes swept around the tent, watching everyone's reactions. How could he not know what everyone was thinking?
"Everyone, please be patient and listen to what I have to say. The nine nations have lived in peace and harmony for years, but after arriving on the Shu Road and meeting Su Jiuni, all sorts of problems have arisen one after another. The nations have begun to doubt each other, and cracks have appeared in their good diplomatic relations, and the relationship is shaky. Isn't there something worth your deep consideration? How can we know that this is not a trick by Su Jiuni and his group to destroy the relations between the countries?
Everyone, please prioritize. The relationship between the nine nations must not be jeopardized. Don't fall prey to the treacherous schemes of these treacherous individuals. I believe this situation is not what the monarchs of any nation want to see. Of course, since the incident has already occurred and the evidence is here, I will make the final decision. Anyone with objections may raise them.
Commander Mo, regardless of whether Yun Qin was plotted against or not, you did not defend Mingyue Gorge well. This is irrefutable and you should be punished.
Commander Darong, the evidence points to you. Even if I want to believe you, I can't. Even if Darong was framed by a traitor, it is true that Darong and Dongpu ignored the plan and did not provide support to Yun Qin during the battle in the forest that day. This mistake should be punished.
Are you convinced?"
Mo Liren immediately stepped forward, his voice resounding and powerful. "I, Mo Liren, have said I believe in Your Highness. How could this be false? Your Highness, for failing to protect Mingyue Gorge, I accept the punishment on behalf of Yunqin! Yunqin is willing to voluntarily cede the Mingyue Gorge area to the other nations and will no longer participate in the capture and division of the divine weapons! A gentleman's word is as good as gold, and everyone present can bear witness to this!"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the tent.
Except for Darong, all the other commanders were very happy.
"Alright! Commander Mo, you're so straightforward when it comes to accepting punishment! I, Nan Sang, really like this kind of energy in you!"
"Commander Mo's generosity in willingly giving up Mingyue Gorge is admirable. This time, you, Bei Xin, have been tricked!"
"Commander Mo shows such great sincerity, I, Ling Jiang, also believe you!"
Many people expressed their opinions one after another.
Regardless of whether Yun Qin was truly wronged, Yun Qin's withdrawal from the division of the divine weapons was a great thing for all the countries.
At this time, nothing is more important than the magic weapon.
Everyone was happy, but Darong's face became even uglier, and he hated Mo Liren to death.
Having been punished before, Mo Liren immediately gave up Mingyue Gorge and withdrew from the division of the divine weapons!
If Darong didn't join in the bold statement, he would be criticized and rebuked by the other eight countries!
That bastard Mo Liren roasted Darong on the fire with just one sentence!
After the others praised Mo Liren, their eyes immediately fell on Commander Darong.
Commander Darong clenched his fists until they cracked, and he opened his lips several times before uttering a few words in a stiff voice, "I, Darong, was framed for dropping poison smoke bombs on Yunqin! I will definitely find out who was behind this and explain it to you all! As for not being able to provide timely support to Yunqin during the battle in the forest, I, Darong, take responsibility for that. However, the reinforcements at that time included not only Yunqin but also Dongpu! They must be punished together!"
Dong Pu couldn't help himself and slammed the table and yelled, "Bullshit!"
The nations, “Ha!”
Mo Liren was overjoyed.
The hatred was completely pulled out by Darong alone.
The muddy waters have become even more muddy.
The noise in the tent became louder and louder, and it became a mess.
Outside the tent, the Yun Qin tribesmen finally relaxed their nerves and grinned. This drama was so well-performed... by the commander!
The noise in the tent didn't die down until late at night, and in the end, they failed to force Darong to withdraw from the fight for the magic weapon. Naturally, Darong offended almost all the countries, and he and Dongpu became enemies.
Mo Liren returned to his tent and happily drank half a jar of wine in one breath.
"Commander Mo, you are in a good mood." A man's deep voice sounded at the door of the tent. A tall figure walked in, followed by his personal guards.
"King of Mobei?" Mo Liren quickly wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, stood up and greeted him with a smile. "Your Highness, you've been working so hard for a long time and haven't returned to your tent to rest. How come you've come to my little place? I'm flattered!"
Wen Renjing glanced at him calmly, walked over to the seat opposite where he had just been sitting, and sat down. He pointed at the half-full jar of wine left on the low table and said, "You haven't finished drinking it yet? Would you like to have a couple of drinks with me?"
Mo Liren was stunned for a moment, then returned to his seat and took a seat, pouring wine from a bowl. "I'm honored! But I'm a rough man, and I don't like to use wine glasses when drinking. Those are used by elegant people and can hold less wine, so I don't like drinking with them! I can only serve you with a bowl, so please don't be disgusted, Your Highness!"
Wen Renjing picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His movements were elegant, and the rough wine glass in his hand seemed to have a more noble air.
He looked at the transparent wine swaying slightly in the bowl. "Tonight, there was a fierce dispute in the camp. Commander Mo played an indispensable role. He single-handedly provoked rifts between several countries. Commander Mo used that poison smoke bomb perfectly."
"King of Mobei——"
"Don't be so agitated. I came here alone, not to call you to task. Darong is affiliated with Beixiang, so I won't punish him harshly. The same goes for Yun Qin... That's why I helped smooth things over this time." Wen Renjing raised his eyes, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable in the candlelight. "Commander Mo, let's let it go this time. If it happens again, I won't show mercy."
After saying that, he put down the bowl, stood up and walked away.
As he opened the tent door and walked out, he paused again, "When you return, please give my regards to Queen Xiling for me."
The tent door fell and swayed gently, and the man's footsteps gradually faded away.
Mo Liren then withdrew his gaze, raised his lips and snorted softly, took Wen Renjing's bowl of almost untouched wine and drank it all in one gulp, "Waste!"
