emperor cold concubine

Chapter 309
Su Mo walked out of the side hall and stood in the yard, looking at the clouds slowly floating in the distant sky, a warm feeling rose in her heart, slowly fermented, and even her usually cold eyes looked more girlish. Soft luster.

The evening breeze was cool, and the refreshing coolness reached to the bottom of my heart. She raised her red lips and smiled happily: "For the world of the nine kingdoms, he has a plan in his heart. This girl can't help much, at best, I can only do it occasionally A sharp sword, just to help him weed out some weeds that are beyond his control."

"The last master's words seem to be a little self-deprecating."

A gentle and indifferent voice came from not far away. Su Mo lazily raised her eyes and saw a tall and thin Xie Changting walked in from the door. He took off a black robe and put it on his arm, revealing only Dressed in a black outfit that revealed her perfect figure, seeing Su Mo standing in the yard, she smiled faintly: "Master Mo is missing Master?"

Su Mo glanced at him lazily: "Is this girl acting so obvious? Or when did you become so boring, Changting, that even your master dares to make fun of it?"

Xie Changting smiled, didn't say anything, walked into the hall, folded his robe casually and placed it on a chair, then turned to Su Mo and said: "Master has said earlier that great events do not require a little girl He hasn't reached this level of incompetence in helping each other, so the last master doesn't have to worry about this."

"You mean, as long as this girl can be a boudoir with peace of mind, it's fine if she doesn't leave the house?" Su Mo narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her lips looked very dangerous. It means waiting to be waited upon by the great punishment.

Xie Changting said: "Naturally not. The master is not such a pedantic man. The last master only needs to do whatever he wants and be himself. You don't need to care too much about everything."

"I'm afraid I can't care about it." Su Mo lazily said, "Cang Hao is a demon in my heart now, and this girl thinks about him all the time. It's not easy for me to ignore him."

Is this too straightforward...

Even Xie Changting, who has always been calm and composed, was speechless when he heard the words.

Qi Lang pretended he didn't hear it this time, and kept his head down to study the border defense map in order to be safe—otherwise, there really was nothing else to divert his attention.

He never thought that one day, the young master would make himself so... naive because of falling in love.

Biyue's reaction was not too obvious, she just looked at the distant sky calmly, without saying a word...

Su Mo looked away as if nothing had happened, looked at Xie Changting's clothes which were obviously different from what he usually wore, and said calmly, "Where have you been these few days?"

"The subordinates are going to investigate some things." Xie Changting stood at the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and calm, "The young man who is following Jimo Lian, the last master probably doesn't know his identity yet."

Bi Yue frowned when she heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Busy on the road these days, he forgot to ask his spies to check the details of that man. He only thought he looked familiar when they met a few days ago, but now he ignored him.

Su Mo said with a smile: "Let me guess...the one who can make Chang Ting take care of him is probably a member of the royal family of which country?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Biyue's mind, and she suddenly thought of a person, and recalled the appearance of that man in her mind, no wonder she always felt a kind of déjà vu...

It turned out to be the case.

Frowning, he said in a deep voice: "That person is the eldest son of Mu Guojing's mansion. He used to be the prince's companion. After the prince ascended the throne, he became the emperor's right-hand man, and now he is deeply favored."

Xie Changting glanced at him lightly, but said nothing.

Su Mo was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Mu Guo and Nayi are incompatible, how could these two countries have..."

One is in the east and the other is in the west. According to the east-west direction on the map, there are three countries in the middle, the Western Region, Cang Yue, and Lan Kingdom. Even if they want to form an alliance, it is unlikely, right?
Xie Changting said indifferently: "Recently, Mu State has been putting pressure on Dongli frequently, and wants to jointly send troops to deal with Lan State. For the current plan, only by conquering Lan State first can we further send troops to Cang Yue——Lan State is different from Mu State. At best, it is just a stumbling block that has to be removed on the way to deal with Cang Yue."

As for why Dongli must help——

War is nothing more than friend and foe. If you can't fight for an alliance with Dongli, once the Mu country sends troops, you have to worry about Dongli taking advantage of the gap from behind.At that time, facing the enemy on both sides, it will definitely be a lot harder for Mu Guo's military strength. Even if they can maintain their undefeated status, they will already be powerless to deal with Cang Yue.

"Since this is the case, what benefits will Dongli get if he really forms an alliance with Mu?" Su Mo said, "Dongli is located in the extreme east of the Nine Kingdoms. Can’t divide it evenly? There is a Mu country in the middle, how can it be divided equally?”

"This is also the condition of the promise made by the emperor of the Mu country. If you get the Lan country, you will carve up ten rich lands from the cities in the east of the Mu country, and they will belong to Dongli from now on."

"The point is to have a good plan!" Su Mo sneered, "If the Lan country becomes a defeated country, the people's hearts will be unstable, and the morale will be weak, then the Mu country will enjoy the benefits and easily control the entire country without any effort. Because of this, the morale of Mu State itself is high, and the people in the country are jubilant. It is easy to carve up ten cities, but it is even more difficult for Dongli to control them easily. Without a strong military force to control it with high-pressure means, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause some disasters. .”

Xie Changting nodded, and said lightly: "In this way, Dongli will also face the crisis of being backlashed by Mu Guo at any time."

"If Emperor Dongli's head hasn't been teased, surely he won't agree to form an alliance?" Su Mo thought for a while, "In fact, it's good to stay out of the matter, at least one day in the future, Cang Hao's iron cavalry will come to the city To protect your own royal line."

Xie Changting did not comment on whether Emperor Dongli's head was teasing, but Biyue glanced at Xie Changting with a half-smile, but of course, she didn't even get a response out of the corner of her eye.

"Of course the alliance cannot be agreed." Xie Changting said, "Once agreed, no matter what happens in the future, the Mu country will have no worries at the moment, and will do its best to deal with the Lan country—since the master wants to accept Nayi first, Lan country The destruction of the world will not be far away, at this time, how can we allow others to make half of their opinions?"

Su Mo nodded: "How is the situation outside now?"

Xie Changting smiled faintly: "It's nothing, the civil strife of the royal family will not affect the people in the border town. But the upcoming war is very likely to completely disrupt their peaceful life."

"Peaceful life?" Su Mo was obviously skeptical about this, "Although this girl hasn't stepped out of the courtyard for a few days, she also knows that the people here may not be related to the word tranquility. Even Marrying a daughter-in-law is always done in the form of martial arts duels, regardless of life or death, can this kind of life be called peace?"

Xie Changting raised his lips slightly: "For them, being used to this kind of life means peace."

"Well, let's think about it for now." Su Mo didn't want to argue about this kind of frivolous matter, "Then, after so many days of investigation, what have you gained? Or, what have you done?"

"Changting just did two very simple things." Xie Changting smiled faintly, "First, he issued an order, an order that everyone in the Dongli royal family—including His Majesty the Emperor—had to obey. The second , It took a few days to collect all the evidence of Jimo Lian's plot to get rid of more than a dozen brothers since she was seven years old."

Su Mo was silent for a while after hearing this, and was not too surprised that the Dongli royal family was now in full control of Changting, or that he was not surprised by his identity.

However, after a moment of silence, she raised her head, put her arms around her chest, stared at Xie Changting with great interest, and said slowly: "You mean... this girl has been planning to get rid of her step by step since she was seven years old. The dozen or so brothers above became unique existences among the heirs of the Nai royal family?"

Since receiving the news from Cang Hao in Wenzhou a few days ago, Su Mo realized that her previous guess that Long Lian was the mastermind behind everything was completely wrong. When she thought her judgment was extremely convincing , but an inexplicable Jimo Lian popped out halfway—this woman with an amazing identity is the ultimate leader of all the plots.

The amazing identity does not refer to her background identity, but her weird growth experience.

Just like at this moment, after listening to Xie Changting's words, Su Mo still had no choice but to hold a skeptical attitude - there was no reason why a girl who was only seven years old at that time had such extraordinary and ruthless schemes and methods?
If it is said that she has undergone inhuman torture or training since she was a child, and developed a ruthless temperament in such an environment, then her behavior is understandable. After all, Su Mo is very familiar with that kind of killer training-it can wipe out any killer. A purgatory for a kind and innocent heart.

However, since Jimo Lian was born, she has been held in the palm of everyone's hands and loved by thousands of people. How could a child who grew up surrounded by warm family affection completely annihilate her own brother? The killing intent of conscience?
For this, Su Mo thought, she needs an explanation—a reasonable explanation.

"Chang Ting never speaks in vain, since it can be said in front of Master Mo, it must be a proven fact." Xie Changting said slowly, "Perhaps Master Mo doesn't need to be too obsessed with knowing the root cause of things. After all, everyone has a different temperament. Some people have a deep hostility in their bones, and their desire for control and power is too strong and extreme. These cannot be easily resolved by so-called family affection. The most important thing at present is to collect evidence, and then Sending people to the Mu country is a big gift for the emperor of the Mu country on his birthday. As for how to deal with this big gift, it is his own business."
