193. I will give you a ride(1/2)
Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom.
On the day Xiao Yuesheng and Xiao Xinghan left, Mu Yan went to Xiao Shangshu's Mansion to tell Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan.
Xiao Yuanqi actually knew something. He was worried yesterday that after Xiao Xinghan came back, Li Xiaotian would ask him to rush to the border to lead troops to attack Mingyue Kingdom immediately.
"Are they the only one who went there?" Ning Ruyan was a little worried.
"Of course not." Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, mom, Xiao Hanhan acted under the emperor's order, and led many masters, and acted in secret. Xiao Hanhan and his elder brother's martial arts are so high that there will be no trouble."
"It's better than fighting a war." Xiao Yuanqi sighed slightly. He knew that Xiao Xinghan's identity and strength were destined to be the one who would be given such a thing. It was inevitable that Tianli Kingdom would deal with Mingyue Kingdom, and all he could choose was the means of doing. Not only did the war cost the people and money, but once it started and ended, I don't know when it was going to happen. Both countries would be in turmoil and there would be no peace in Leiyang City. Now Xiao Xinghan has chosen the best way to solve the problem. Although Xiao Yuanqi is inevitably worried about the safety of his two sons, he knows that this is inevitable.
"I originally thought that our family would have a meal together during the Chinese New Year this year." Ning Ruyan looked a little sad. Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan were there all the time, but Xiao Yuesheng had just returned and had never been at home. He went out before, but he only came back yesterday, and left today. Ning Ruyan was not for himself, but just felt that Xiao Yuesheng had been alone outside for so many years, and must have not had a good New Year.
Mu Yan saw Ning Ruyan’s thoughts, held Ning Ruyan’s hand and said, “Mom, even if the eldest brother and Xiao Hanhan can’t come back to celebrate the New Year, their brothers will always be together. The eldest brother is not the same. I don’t know that the two brothers have a very good relationship, so I’m jealous.”
"You girl," Ning Ruyan angrily glanced at Mu Yan, "and she would make her mother happy. Xing'er looked at you like her eyes, and no one could compare to her."
Mu Yan smiled and said, "Mom, your Xing'er has learned from her father!"
Mu Yan's words made Ning Ruyan blush and pretended to hit Mu Yan. Mu Yan hid behind Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi smiled and shook his head: "Yan'er, stop messing with your mother. You have nothing to do at home. If you have time, go and do your business. If you have time, bring Langlang here and ask your mother to make delicious food for you."
"Aren't dad afraid that my mother will be tired?" Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Ahem," Xiao Yuanqi is also very old. When Mu Yan teased this, his face was a little unnatural, and then he said, "Then let's wait to taste Yan'er's craftsmanship."
"Dad really loves my mother the most." Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Then let's say that I will bring Xiao Yan over tomorrow night and I will cook."
After Mu Yan finished speaking, there was no one. After she made such a fuss, Ning Ruyan forgot to worry about her two sons who were out.
The country of bright moon.
First there was the Ying family of Wushuang City, and then the Yin family of Liang City. At the beginning of the year, the news about the Divine Soldier Sect shocked the world one after another, and immediately attracted the masters from all over the world to go out.
In the end, the whole thing came to an end with Mingyue Kingdom’s regent Ming Teng receiving the Divine Soldier Order.
The Yin clan was then destroyed, and all the elders and core disciples of the Yin clan were kidnapped by Xiao Xinghan from Tianli Kingdom, and now they serve in the foundry camp of Tianli Kingdom.
A bustle about the Divine Soldier Sect suddenly rose and came to an abrupt end. On the surface, Mingteng was the one who benefited the most, because everyone knows that the Divine Sect's shocking wealth and countless magical weapons and weapons were hidden in the Divine Sect's order a hundred years ago.
For this reason, many of the masters who had originally targeted the Yin family gathered in the Imperial City of Mingyue Kingdom and targeted Mingteng's Regent's Mansion. They just thought that when Mingteng went to find the treasure house of the Divine Soldier Sect, they followed and got a share of the pie. Some masters who could not hold back broke into Mingteng's Regent's Mansion and killed and robbed them if they failed. Although they did not succeed, they also caused a lot of trouble for Mingteng.
Mingteng, who is in the center of the vortex, is almost crazy! Because in the past few months, he has thought of countless methods, but has not been able to find the mechanism hidden in the Divine Soldier Order. He opened the Divine Soldier Order and got the treasure map, let alone search for the treasure house of the Divine Soldier Gate.
Mingteng was unwilling to believe it at first, but as time went by, he had to begin to suspect that the magic weapon order he received was simply fake...
But now, all the masters of the Yin clan are dead, and the elders and disciples of the Yin clan have been kidnapped by Xiao Xinghan. In fact, the most profitable country is the Tianli Kingdom.
The Yin clan's tribe had everything in the Mingyue Kingdom on the territory of Mingyue Kingdom, but the Ming royal clan only received a fake divine weapon order, which caused endless troubles.
Those masters who have guessed that Mingteng's magic weapon order are fake are mocked by others for being a complete idiot. They are fooled and are complacent.
As for where the real magic weapon order is, it has become another unsolved case.
There is no evidence that the Divine Soldier Order is related to Xiao Xinghan, and behind the scenes there are many people saying that the Yin clan does not have the Divine Soldier Order at all. If they had the Divine Soldier Order, they would never be so vulnerable. Once exposed, they would soon go to destruction. Because the Divine Soldier Order is enough to allow a family to have strong strength, and they will attract countless masters with one call.
In short, the Yin family is too weak, not even like an orthodox descendant of the Divine Soldier Sect. Mingteng has been in a camp for so long for the Divine Soldier Sect, but in the end he is in vain and is about to die!
Just before, Ming Teng, who was in a panic due to the divine weapon, received a letter from Ming Xinyao from Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom, and learned that Li Xiaotian was preparing to send Xiao Xinghan to attack Mingyue Kingdom.
Mingteng's heart skipped a beat at that time, and immediately wrote a reply to Li Xiaonan and sent several waves of people to Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom to carry out assassination missions.
For Mingteng, as long as Xiao Xinghan is eliminated, the strength of Tianli Kingdom will be greatly reduced, so the person he targeted from the beginning was Xiao Xinghan.
In mid-November, Mingteng received a letter from Tianli Kingdom, which was from Zhu Qi, the fourth brother of the Eight Evil Evils in Songling. The letter said that Xu Sanniang's mission failed, Li Xiaonan and Ming Xinyao were also under house arrest by Li Xiaotian. In order to avoid Xu Sanniang betray Mingteng, Zhu Qi had secretly silenced Xu Sanniang, who was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice of Tianli Kingdom, and would find an opportunity to take action again as soon as possible.
But what Mingteng didn't know was that when he received the letter from Zhu Qi, Zhu Qi had already died in the hands of Mu Yan and Tuoba Yan...
Mingteng hurried into the palace and met his emperor brother, Ming Xiao, the emperor of Mingyue Kingdom.
"Brother, Tianli Kingdom will send troops to Mingyue Kingdom soon, and we must dispatch troops immediately! I have sent a letter to the Northern Emperor to seek alliance!" Mingteng said to Mingxiao.
Ming Xiao, who was sitting on the dragon chaise, raised his turbid eyes and looked at Ming Teng: "What did you do again?"
Mingteng's face darkened: "What does the emperor mean? Even if I did something behind my back, it was for the Mingyue Kingdom!"
"Haha," Ming Xiao looked at Ming Teng with a sarcastic look on his face, "Brother Emperor, I admit that you are a capable person, but you are in a high position and always use some villain behavior. In the eyes of other emperors of the Three Kingdoms, you are just an inequality person."
"Mingyue Kingdom has reached the critical moment of life and death. The emperor still feels in a state of mocking me? Do you really think I will swallow my anger for the rest of my life?" Ming Teng's face turned cold and his fists were clenched.
Ming Xiao looked at Ming Teng, but suddenly smiled, his smile was very strange: "Brother Emperor, have you ever swallowed up the anger of me? I have only been known as the emperor for so many years, but I have been cast as a puppet by you. My son is suppressed by you so much that he cannot look up. The only reason why you did not sit on the dragon throne is for my unknown son."
Ming Teng suddenly stood up, looked at Ming Xiao and said with an angry look: "That's my son!"
Ming Xiao laughed: "Yes, it's your son, your only son, of course I will not forget! You did a slut with my queen back then and gave birth to a pair of twins. Ming Xinyao's lowly genius gave you a good face, right? How is she doing now in Tianli Kingdom? She pursued Xiao Xinghan in Tianli Kingdom so despicable, which is known to everyone in the world, but it follows your personality!"
Ming Teng suddenly reached out and grabbed Ming Xiao's neck: "Where did you hide that child? Say! Otherwise I will kill you now!"
Ming Xiao's face was blue, but he was still smiling, tears came out of his eyes, and his eyes were a little sad: "I am the chief of the palace. I have sat on this throne with justice. You are unwilling to give up, so I seduced my queen and did something to do with her, and gave birth to a pair of children for you. If I hadn't noticed it, after your son was born, I would immediately take him away and hide it in a place you didn't know. I would raise your son for you for so many years, and watch your son sit on my throne? Mingteng, your humbleness in your bones really makes me despise it!"
"What do you know? I'm better than you in everything, why is the throne yours?" Mingteng said sternly at Ming Xiao.
Ming Xiao and Ming Teng are brothers of a mother. Ming Xiao is the eldest and was once the crown prince of Mingyue Kingdom. Before the death of the first emperor of Mingyue Kingdom, he issued a will to pass the throne to Mingxiao.
Mingteng was unwilling to accept it because he thought he was smarter than Mingxiao and more suitable to be an emperor than Mingxiao. But their father asserted that Teng did not have the grand and calmness that he should have as the king. In other words, when Mingteng was a prince, his father saw that his mind was mostly used on evil ways, acting insidiously and unable to bear great responsibilities.
However, Ming Teng was not convinced and was unwilling to accept his fate. But at that time he was just a prince and had no strength to shake Ming Xiao's throne, so he secretly seduced Ming Xiao's queen and put a green hat on Ming Xiao.
The late queen of Mingyue Kingdom gave birth to a pair of twins for Mingteng. Mingteng had no capital to rebel and seize the throne. He thought he was doing it without any knowledge. When his son was born, he would be the legitimate prince of Mingyue Kingdom and would be raised by Mingxiao. Then he would secretly help his son get the throne of Mingyue Kingdom. At that time, the world of Mingyue Kingdom will still be his.
But Mingteng didn't expect that as soon as his son was born, before he could take a look, news came from the palace that the second prince had died.
Ming Teng didn't believe it at all. He entered the palace and rushed to Ming Xiao. At that time, Ming Teng and Ming Xiao had already broken up!
Ming Xiao said that he hid Ming Teng's wild species in a place. If Ming Teng was restless, he would kill the child and smash it into pieces, causing Ming Teng to completely cut off his descendants! Ming Xiao also told Ming Teng that he secretly gave Ming Teng a very vicious poison, which made Ming Teng never have any other sons in his life!
Mingteng is lustful, and there are countless women over the years. There are women in the backyard of the Regent's house who gave birth to two sons for him, but in order to conceal his inability to have children, he deliberately let the women of his confidant disguise as his women, creating an illusion that he has a future! Therefore, his two so-called sons have never been taken by him to appear in front of outsiders, and he never cared about them.
Mingteng has been seeking medical treatment countless times over the years, but this matter involves his reputation. The doctors who have treated him eventually died inexplicably. Before the doctors died, they asserted without exception that Mingteng could no longer have children and had no cure for treatment.
Ming Xiao actually had the opportunity to kill Ming Teng directly to eliminate future troubles, but Ming Xiao was also crazy. He could not let go of the humiliation Ming Teng gave him, and thought it was too cheap to let Ming Teng die. Ming Teng wanted to save Ming Teng's life and let Ming Teng watch the throne be close at hand, but he would never get it for the rest of his life. So Ming Xiao told Ming Teng that as long as Ming Teng was calmer, he would keep Ming Teng's son's life. Ming Teng dared to steal the throne, and he would definitely let Ming Teng break his son!
As a result, the abnormal relationship between brothers had formed and became increasingly distorted. Ming Xiao was ruthless and gave Ming Teng an opportunity to take advantage of it. Ming Teng used many inappropriate means to slowly seize the power in Ming Xiao's hands and became the regent who held power in Ming Yue Kingdom.
But Mingteng never touched Ming Xiao and did not dare to rob the throne with Ming Xiao, because he didn't want him to have no son after becoming emperor, so he would be just a joke in the end.
Ming Teng tried to threaten Ming Xiao with the lives of Ming Ziyang and all other sons of Ming Xiao, and asked Ming Xiao to hand over the child. But Ming Xiao said that even if he had no son or grandson, he would have to pull Ming Teng together...
Ming Xiao successfully revenges Ming Teng and tortures Ming Teng for so many years. Ming Teng is not polite to Ming Xiao. Except for not snatching Ming Xiao's throne and not taking action to kill Ming Xiao's son, all the others that should be snatched were taken away, resulting in Ming Xiao becoming a puppet emperor without real power, and spent twenty years in a daze.
Back to the present, Ming Teng was furious and pinched Ming Xiao's neck hard. Seeing that Ming Xiao had already vented more and had less energy, he suddenly threw away Ming Xiao.
Ming Xiao covered his neck and coughed violently, his whole face turned red. Ming Teng sat opposite him, looking at him with a cold look.
Until Ming Xiao calmed down, he said to Mingteng with a tired look: "After so many years, you torture me, and I torture you too. There is no winner in our brothers, but Mingyue Kingdom cannot be destroyed in our hands like this."
Ming Xiao is a puppet emperor, but he doesn't know anything. Ming Yue Kingdom was originally not weaker than Tian Li Kingdom, but Tian Li Kingdom has been stable for so many years, and its country is rich and its soldiers are becoming stronger and stronger. Ming Yue Kingdom has not advanced but retreated because of the internal struggle between Ming Xiao and Ming Teng brothers. Now it has no longer had the strength to compete with Tian Li Kingdom.
Mingteng has always been very clear about what the result would be if he and Ming Xiao continue to fight. But the two brothers have already embarked on this path and no one wants to turn back because they can't go back. Once one side stops, it means accepting one's fate and losing one's life, because there is no possibility of rebuilding between the brothers. Therefore, they have been on this road that knows that there will be no good results, and have been going on now.
"Then please ask the emperor brother to issue an order and let the prince lead his troops to the border to defend the enemy!" Ming Teng said coldly at Ming Xiao.
Ming Xiao snorted coldly: "This is your purpose in entering the palace! Why don't you go by yourself? I will not issue an order to let the prince go, because the prince is not Xiao Xinghan's opponent, and he will die if he goes!"
"So, I have to thank my brother for looking down on me and thinking that I am Xiao Xinghan's opponent?" Ming Teng said coldly at Ming Xiao.
"At this point, I don't care about those grudges anymore." Ming Xiao looked at Ming Teng and said, "If we continue fighting, we will only give the enemy an opportunity to destroy Mingyue Kingdom in our hands. You are very clear about this! Don't be fooled with me anymore. Now Mingyue Kingdom can lead troops to resist Xiao Xinghan!"
Mingteng looked at Ming Xiao calmly and suddenly sneered: "For the sake of Mingyue Kingdom, of course I will do my best, but I have a condition!"
"You said." Ming Xiao nodded.
"I want to see my son!" Mingteng looked at Ming Xiao and said coldly, "I always believed that you did not kill my son, but now, if you still refuse to let me see him, I will die for Mingyue Kingdom, and there is not even a back in this world!"
Ming Xiao lowered his eyes slightly: "Now is not the time. When this matter happens, you will defeat Tianli Kingdom and I will let you see him."
"Mingxiao! Don't try to deceive me! I said, I want to see him, otherwise I won't go anywhere!" Mingteng said sternly at Mingxiao.
"Forget it!" Ming Xiao sighed, "Give me some time. He is not in Mingyue City now, and I will send someone to bring him back."
"You'd better not use any tricks, otherwise we will die together!" Ming Teng finished speaking, stood up and shook his sleeves and left.
Ming Xiao looked at Ming Teng's back and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
At the end of November, the surface of Mingyue City was still calm. Mingteng received the news that Zhu Qi, the fourth elder of the Eight Evils in Songling, also followed Xu Sanniang's footsteps and died in Leiyang City.
Mingteng has a wave of troops going to Leiyang City, but has not taken action yet. Mingteng is waiting, waiting for Mingxiao to hand over his son. At that time, he will definitely kill Mingxiao and Ming Ziyang immediately, first steal the throne of Mingyue Kingdom, and then fight against Tianli Kingdom with all his strength! Even if he has no chance of winning, he will use land cede compensation to calm the war, and he will also admit it. In the end, the throne of Mingyue Kingdom is still his!
In the palace of Mingyue Kingdom, Ming Xiao found the prince Ming Ziyang to have a secret talk.
"Son, please see your father." Ming Ziyang sat down after saluting.
Ming Xiao looked at Ming Ziyang deeply and sighed slightly. He actually placed great hope on Ming Ziyang, hoping that Ming Ziyang could suppress Ming Teng. Unfortunately, Ming Ziyang's ability is obviously not enough.
"Crown Prince, your uncle said that Tianli Kingdom will send troops to Mingyue Kingdom soon." Ming Xiao looked at Ming Ziyang and said.
Ming Ziyang's expression changed slightly: "Is the news reliable?"
"It should be the news from the Nanyang King of Tianli Kingdom, which is reliable." Ming Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Mingteng has caused a smoky and smoky place in Mingyue City for a fake divine weapon order. Tianli Kingdom has probably set his sights on Mingyue Kingdom for a long time."
Ming Ziyang frowned: "Father, my son has never understood. What methods did the father use to suppress the emperor's uncle?"
What Ming Ziyang has always puzzled is that Ming Teng had a chance to steal Ming Xiao's throne, but he never took action, which shows that Ming Xiao still has something that Ming Teng fears, or someone.
"It's time for me to tell you the truth." Ming Xiao looked at Ming Ziyang and slowly told the scandal of the royal family of Mingyue Kingdom back then.
After hearing this, Ming Ziyang looked ugly: "Why didn't my father get rid of the emperor's uncle back then?"
Ming Ziyang understood that Ming Xiao let Mingteng live for a moment of intent, which led to Mingteng having the opportunity to grow to this point now. Although men cannot tolerate cuckolding, what Ming Xiao should do is to kill Mingteng and his bastards, instead of keeping their lives to torture them, that is to leave future troubles!
Over the years, the princess Ming Xinyao has put so many stains on the reputation of the royal family of Mingyue Kingdom. Ming Teng has great power in Mingyue Kingdom, which has led to Ming Xiao becoming a puppet emperor. No matter how hard the prince of Ming Ziyang tried, he would not have a chance to make a comeback.
Ming Ziyang was very angry and even began to blame Ming Xiao, thinking that it was because Ming Xiao did not kill the roots that the royal family of Mingyue Kingdom fell to this situation today, which also led to his legitimate prince being so frustrated that he could not raise his head.
"Is the prince blaming me?" Ming Xiao asked slowly as he looked at Ming Ziyang.
Ming Ziyang lowered his head: "I dare not!"
Ming Xiao laughed at himself: "The prince should blame me, I have regretted it long ago."
One mistake is the wrong step, and what he is talking about is Ming Xiao. In order to fight for a while, he insisted on keeping Ming Teng's life to torture Ming Teng, but he failed to really suppress Ming Teng, which led to Ming Teng turning over under his nose and snatching away the power in his hands.
To be continued...
