"Qinghui," Jingmo turned to look at Gu Xinglang and said, "What do you think we should do?"
Gu Xinglang didn't want to talk now. Young Master Gu knew very well that if they continued to get involved, they would really have to help the Fourth Prince of Suzaku fight. If this was successful, it would be fine, but what if it didn't? Gu Xinglang couldn't think of a way out after they failed.
Yu Xiaoxiao saved herself the trouble and said, "Jing Mo, we will listen to you."
Jing Mo said, "Zhuo Jun cannot leave the city and go to the southwest camp."
Jiang Zhuojun whispered, "Alerting the enemy?"
Jing Mo nodded.
Li Luo asked: "So this Chiyang City is now a prison for me?"
Jing Mo walked back and forth in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, then said to Gu Xinglang, "Qinghui, do you think you and Mo Wen will be in peace this time?"
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "That's unlikely." She had just had a fight with Mo Wen on the street, and it was a fight to the death. How could they possibly live in peace?
Jing Mo looks after Xing Lang.
Gu Xinglang still remained silent.
Jing Mo said, "If Zhuo Jun doesn't leave the city, I can order one of my men to go to the southwest camp. My men are good at martial arts, but they don't know how to lead troops. When the troops are deployed, how can they march, how can they sneak into the city, how can they attack the imperial palace? My men don't have the ability to do that."
Yu Xiao: "Then find someone who can lead troops."
Jing Mo said: "Does the princess have a choice?"
Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Is it not okay if I have been a secret guard?"
Jing Mo shook his head and said, "No."
"What about the guy who used to be a pirate leader?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
Jing Mo still shook his head and said, "Princess, there is a difference between looting and leading troops to fight."
Jiang Zhuojun was thinking, it turns out that group of people really were bandits!
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang. Her little Gu was a general and leading troops to fight was no problem for him, but what if her little Gu fell ill again?
Jing Mo still looks after Xing Lang.
Yu Xiao: "My little Gu's body..."
"Princess," Gu Xinglang raised his hand and touched Yu Xiaoxiao's lips with his fingers, asking her not to talk about his health.
Jing Mo said, "There is another way. We can send Li Luo, Zhuo Jun, or Concubine Jiang out of the city. However, their days on the run will be very difficult."
Gu Xinglang asked Jing Mo: "How sure are you?"
"Mo Wen and his attendant monks are very powerful," Jing Mo said, "but he is not the king of Suzaku after all. If Li Luo wants to become the emperor, he just needs to get rid of the reigning king."
Yu Xiaoxiao was startled and said, "Jing Mo, do you want Li Luo to kill his father?"
Jing Mo looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled, then said, "How could I let Li Luo do such an unfaithful and unfilial thing?"
Yu Xiaoxiao..., in your previous life, you were a cruel person who did such unfaithful and unfilial things!
Gu Xinglang said: "Imprisonment?"
Jing Mo said: "You can control the princes by holding the emperor hostage. The king is seriously injured now. Even if Mo Wen is a medical expert, he can't make the king recover in a few days. It is completely reasonable for a king to abdicate and live out his life in peace."
Gu Xinglang said, "I have inquired about it. There are three military camps in Chiyang City, 20,000 imperial guards in the palace, and two military camps in the north and south outside the city, with a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses. Even if 5,000 soldiers and horses sneak into the city, how can they attack the imperial palace?"
"Of course this depends on the ability of the Fourth Prince," Jing Mo looked at Li Luo and whispered.
"Does the Fourth Prince have any insiders that can be used?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Li Luo shook his head.
Concubine Jiang whispered, "All the people who served me and the eunuchs who had been with the Fourth Prince were executed."
Yu Xiao: "It's not difficult to open a palace gate."
Gu Xinglang and Jiang Zhuojun both believed this. For this person, this was really not a difficult task.
Yu Xiao: "What will you do after you enter the palace? Will you arrest Li Xiaoyuan in front of the ministers? Xiao Gu also said that there are more than 70,000 soldiers in the city. What if they turn around and surround us in the palace?"
Concubine Jiang said: "Your Majesty is in our hands."
Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand at Concubine Jiang and said, "Aunt Jiang, you think Mo Wen is too kind. When the time comes, Xiao Gu and the others will enter the palace and arrest Li Xiaoyuan. Mo Wen will say that Li Xiaoyuan was killed by Li Luo, and let any illegitimate child become the emperor. They will bring 70,000 people to fight against our 5,000 people. Aren't our numbers a little too few?"
A few thunders could kill many people and leave them lying on the ground, but there are still civilians in the city, and not all the people in the palace deserve to die. Yu Xiaoxiao felt that she could not do such a thing as killing innocent people.
Jing Mo lingered in front of the bed for a while and said, "It seems that before the birthday banquet begins, none of the three sons of the Dragon Concubine can be kept."
Emma.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo. Why did this man always speak of killing someone as easily as killing a chicken?
Gu Xinglang whispered, "Long Ning and Long Lu will definitely be guarded by Mo Wen. If they don't leave the palace, how can we take action?"
"Actually..." Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that it was really not difficult to run into the palace and kill these two.
"Xiaoxiao," Gu Xinglang called Yu Xiaoxiao softly and shook his head.
Yu Xiaoxiao shut up again.
Jing Mo looked at Gu Xinglang and nodded secretly. It seemed that the third young master of the Gu family had a clear mind. They could help with some things, but they couldn't get involved in some things. For example, in the current fratricide, it would be better if they didn't even know how Li Luo did it. If Li Luo became the emperor in the future and regarded this as a stain and scandal, and a thorn in his heart, then those who helped would be in trouble.
The room fell into silence. Jingmo's guard ran to the door again and reported loudly: "Master, a general of the Suzaku Imperial Guard has come with his men and said they want to search the posthouse."
Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to jump, but was held down by Gu Xinglang.
"Nothing," Jing Mo said, "You stay here, I'll go see the general."
"It must be Mo Wen who sent him," Yu Xiaoxiao said affirmatively.
Jing Mo said, "I don't believe in the Buddha of the Eternal Life Temple, so what if I don't ask?"
Yu Xiaoxiao gave Jing Mo a thumbs up in her heart. She would also say something as cultured when she meets Mo Wen in the future.
Jing Mo walked out. Concubine Jiang looked at the people in the room and whispered, "Is there no other way?"
Li Luo bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain prevented him from falling asleep.
Jiang Zhuojun said, "Aunt, why don't you go and take a rest."
Concubine Jiang looked at Jiang Zhuojun's hand on the knife handle and knew what her nephew meant. The guest room she lived in was more inconspicuous than this one and less likely to be searched.
"Your Highness, please go and have a rest," Gu Xinglang also said to Concubine Jiang at this time: "If the eldest prince can't stop the people, Your Highness can stay with the women we brought with us, please rest assured."
