Chapter 172 Transition
Chapter 172 Transition
"On the surface, their actions are not problematic, and we have no evidence to prove that they are targeting your eldest brother."
After Xuanyuan Leng told the truth of what he had found out, he frowned slightly and spoke with some embarrassment.
Nangong Jing understood what Xuanyuan Leng meant. Those deputy generals did not target Nangong Mu openly, and even went to support Nangong Mu later, but they were just one step too late.
It would be impossible to convict them. Even if Nangong Mu said that they were targeting him, he might be blamed instead.
"I understand, Your Highness. I will find evidence of their guilt in the long run."
Although Nangong Jing was somewhat unwilling, he was not an impulsive person and quickly suppressed his unwillingness.
There is still a long way to go, and Nangong Jing no longer believes that they are really that clean.
Although those deputy generals made mistakes, they were also following orders. Nangong Jing did not forget who really wanted Nangong Mu.
"Your eldest brother is quite capable. I'm thinking of transferring him to another place to gain some experience and avoid the influence of the Yun and Wu families."
Xuanyuan Leng suggested to Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing glanced at Xuanyuan Leng in surprise. Was he trying to win over Nangong Mu?
Nangong Tao is a typical royalist, even though Nangong Mu almost got into trouble this time.
Nangong Tao only took action to help Xuanyuan Leng find out the truth of the matter, and had no intention of side with Xuanyuan Leng.
Xuanyuan Leng also knew that it was impossible to win over Nangong Tao, or if he really wanted to win over Nangong Tao, the first person who would be unable to sit still would not be Xuanyuan Xi, but Xuanyuan Hongtai.
So from the very beginning, Xuanyuan Leng never thought of winning over Nangong Tao. Like Xuanyuan Xi, his choice was also Nangong Mu and other peers.
But unlike Xuanyuan Xi who chose Nangong Dao, Xuanyuan Leng chose Nangong Mu.
Not to mention that Nangong Mu himself is very outstanding and has a good relationship with Nangong Jing.
Just because Nangong Mu is the person Xuanyuan Xi wants to eliminate, Xuanyuan Leng is willing to help.
"Although I have a good relationship with my eldest brother, I cannot help him make a decision. I will inform him of His Highness's intentions when I return."
Although Nangong Jing and Nangong Mu have a good relationship, Nangong Mu is ultimately an individual. Nangong Jing can give him advice but cannot make decisions for him.
Xuanyuan Leng was not surprised by Nangong Jing's answer. He nodded lightly and suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the business.
"You and Yao'er have been together for such a long time, so from now on, just follow Yao'er and call me Big Brother."
Xuanyuan Leng's words changed so quickly that Nangong Jing didn't react immediately.
After reacting, Nangong Jing subconsciously glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao. After meeting the other's smiling eyes, Nangong Jing felt his cheeks burning hot.
"Big brother."
Although Nangong Jing felt a little embarrassed, he still called Xuanyuan Leng obediently.
Xuanyuan Leng's willingness to let him call him "big brother" meant that he recognized his identity as Xuanyuan Xingyao's partner. Nangong Jing naturally would not refuse Xuanyuan Leng's closeness.
After Nangong Jing told Nangong Tao and Nangong Mu what Xuanyuan Leng had found out, they were both silent for a long time.
"Don't worry about this matter. No matter who they are, if they dare to harm my son, Nangong Tao, I will never let them go. Since there is no way to convict them openly, we can start from somewhere else."
Nangong Tao said this in a domineering manner.
Nangong Mu and Nangong Jing knew that Nangong Tao was preparing to take action against them personally.
Although Nangong Mu was happy that Nangong Tao protected him, he was a little worried that Nangong Tao's actions would cause dissatisfaction from Xuanyuan Hongtai.
"Father, if you take action yourself, will anyone say anything?"
"Just focus on recovering from your injuries. Since I've taken action, I won't let anyone catch me in the act. As for the Emperor, he won't say anything even if he knows."
Nangong Tao did not attack anyone for no reason, but to avenge Nangong Mu. It would be fine if Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't know, and even if he knew, he would just acquiesce.
When Nangong Mu heard Nangong Tao say this, he didn't say anything more.
How could Nangong Mu not hate them after he almost died? If it weren't for his lack of strength, Nangong Mu wouldn't even need Nangong Tao's help and would have just defeated them himself.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to transfer my eldest brother to another place. What do you think, Father and Brother?"
Although Xuanyuan Leng told Nangong Jing to just call him "big brother", it was a bit inconvenient to call them both "big brother", so Nangong Jing still called Xuanyuan Leng "Your Highness the Crown Prince".
"After what happened this time, it's indeed unsafe for you to stay in your current military camp. As for whether you will accept His Royal Highness's kindness, it all depends on your choice."
When Nangong Tao saw Nangong Mu looking at him, he knew that he was moved.
Nangong Tao also knew that if Nangong Mu accepted Xuanyuan Leng's kindness, outsiders would definitely think that he had defected to Xuanyuan Leng.
Although Nangong Tao is loyal to Xuanyuan Hongtai and will not stand on the side of anyone, he will not interfere with the choices of the children.
Just like when Nangong Dao chose Xuanyuan Qing, although Nangong Tao was angry at Nangong Dao's audacity, he would not stop him from making his own choice.
Of course, Nangong Dao actually wanted Nangong Mu's life, which touched Nangong Tao's bottom line.
In other words, Nangong Mu’s problem has not been resolved yet, otherwise Nangong Tao would have taken action against Nangong Dao long ago.
Therefore, if Nangong Muzhen chose to join Xuanyuan Leng, Nangong Tao would not stop him, but he just did not stop her, there was nothing more to it.
When Nangong Mu heard Nangong Tao say this, he knew that he had guessed his choice and tacitly agreed to it, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Xiao Jing, please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I am willing to follow his arrangements."
Nangong Mu used the word "obey", which actually meant that he was surrendering to Xuanyuan Leng.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao also understood what Nangong Mu meant and were delighted.
The connections and resources in Nangong Tao's hands will definitely be inherited by Nangong Mu and the Zhong family in the future.
Although the Zhong family is not as powerful as the Nangong family, it is also one of the aristocratic families in the imperial capital, and its connections and strength are not weak.
It can be said that Nangong Mu's surrender instantly expanded Xuanyuan Leng's circle of contacts by several circles.
This is also the reason why children from aristocratic families prefer to interact with their direct descendants.
Because the direct line not only has the help of the paternal clan, but also the help of the maternal clan, and even the maternal clan has both the paternal and maternal clans on their side.
"Okay, I'll tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I enter the palace tomorrow."
Nangong Jing said with a smile in his eyes.
On the second day, after Nangong Jing told Xuanyuan Leng Nangong Mu's answer, although Xuanyuan Leng didn't say anything, the smile on his face was much more sincere.
Soon, Nangong Mu's transfer came down.
He was transferred directly from the military camp to the Wucheng Bingmasi. It seemed like a trivial transfer, but in fact the Wucheng Bingmasi was in charge of the safety of the entire imperial capital. It could be said that only the emperor's confidants could hold this position.
When Nangong Mu was transferred to the Wucheng Bingmasi and took charge of the entire Bingmasi, Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi refused to believe it.
Because only the emperor's confidant can be appointed to the Five Cities Military Command, although Nangong Mu has some abilities, he cannot be considered as Xuanyuan Hongtai's confidant.
After Xuanyuan Xi checked, he found out that it was Xuanyuan Leng who took action.
I don’t know how Xuanyuan Leng persuaded Xuanyuan Hongtai to agree to Nangong Mu’s transfer.
Nangong Mu is in charge of the Five Cities Military Department, which is not good news for Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nangong Mu was closer to Xuanyuan Leng.
Nangong Mu taking over the Five Cities Military Department is equivalent to Xuanyuan Leng being in charge of the Five Cities Military Department, which means that no matter how big or small the movement in the imperial capital can escape Xuanyuan Leng's eyes.
In this way, if Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi want to do something, it will not be as easy as before.
"I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have done it earlier."
Xuanyuan Xi never regretted any decision he made before, no matter whether the final result was good or bad.
But now, Xuanyuan Xi really regretted having someone attack Nangong Mu.
If Xuanyuan Xi had not rashly attacked Nangong Mu, Nangong Mu would not have completely sided with Xuanyuan Leng.
And Nangong Mu will stay in the military camp. After Nangong Mu is transferred, it will not be so easy for Xuanyuan Xi to take action against Nangong Mu again.
"No one would have thought that Nangong Mu was so lucky. He was seriously injured and fell off a cliff, but he was lucky enough to be rescued."
Although Xuanyuan Qing was angry and annoyed that the Five Cities Army fell into the hands of Xuanyuan Leng, he did not blame Xuanyuan Xi for his inadequate plan. Instead, he comforted the self-blaming Xuanyuan Xi.
After Nangong Mu returned home safely, Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi learned from Nangong Dao that Nangong Mu was rescued by a light magician after falling off a cliff.
If it weren't for that light magician, even if Nangong Jing rushed over immediately, he would have found Nangong Mu's body.
"I just don't believe he can always be so lucky."
If Xuanyuan Xi wanted to get rid of Nangong Mu just because he wanted to win over Nangong Dao so that he could take control of the Duke's Mansion.
Now, Nangong Mu is on Xuanyuan Xi's death list. As long as Nangong Mu is alive, their people will not be able to control the Five Cities Military Department.
"What are you going to do?"
Xuanyuan Qing asked Xuanyuan Xi.
"Just follow my previous plan."
Xuanyuan Xi said meaningfully.
"Nangong Mu almost got into trouble this time, so he will definitely be more vigilant. Can our people still get close to him?"
Xuanyuan Qing asked with some concern.
"Although Nangong Dao is a bit useless, he is still the son of the Duke's Mansion. His concubine is also an old lady in the Duke's Mansion. He must have some useful people under his command. As for the Five Cities Military Affairs Division, I have also bribed a few people over the years."
The Five Cities Military Command is very important to Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Xi started to infiltrate people very early on.
After these years of hard work, although the penetration is not deep enough, we have won over a few people, and if used well, it can bring unexpected results.
"Don't rush it this time."
"Don't worry, some mistakes only take one time."
Xuanyuan Xi looked out the window with deep eyes and said in a deep voice. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support. Kisses! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
