”Murong Xiu, did you come here today to tell me how amazing you are?” Zuo Qing could no longer hold it in and shouted out.
”Zuo Qian, I'm not here to tell you how outstanding I, Murong Xiu, am. I'm here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.” Murong Xiu sighed when he saw Zuo Qian's reaction, then looked at him and said in a serious tone. Zuo Qing then saw that Murong Xiu had slowed down and sat back down. She was prepared to listen to what Murong Xiu had to say.
”Zuo Qian, you want to fight me? I'll fight you, but if the two of us continue to fight now, honestly speaking, you're not my match. Do you think I, Murong Xiu, haven't been the Regent for so many years?” When he heard what Murong Xiu said, he was also a bit surprised. Previously, he had his own guesses about Murong Xiu, but now that he had heard it from him, he knew that Murong Xiu wasn't going to speak without thinking.
”I'll tell you this time, I will fight with that Northern Yue army on the battlefield, you know why I said I lost, but it's not me who lost. First, Zhuge Feimu died in our military camp because one of the enemy's female generals was extremely outstanding, and the enemy had a hundred elite soldiers, one against a hundred elites. This is something even our Western Li Country has, but who knows how many elites the enemy has.” When Zuo Dong heard this, his heart turned cold. He couldn't help but to pay more attention to the northern army. When Murong Xiu saw Zuo Dong's expression, he also continued to speak.
”Secondly, Helian sent someone to spread the news to the palace after the first assassination attempt on Zhuge Feimu, while you were waiting for this opportunity to impeach me. Now that I've returned, you've won. But what you don't know is that you've lost, and I've lost, too. I've lost very miserably! ” Originally, he had brought enough troops with him, so it would be impossible for the Northern Yue army to win so easily. However, could the Northern Yue army win that easily? Although he acknowledged in his heart that the Great General Bei Yue was indeed brave and fierce, he still had a lot more people on his side than the Northern Yue army. However, he was defeated and left with a strong feeling of dissatisfaction in his heart.
When Zuo Qing heard Murong Xiu's words, she immediately understood the meaning behind them and felt slightly regretful. However, now that everything was settled, she could only continue to listen to what Murong Xiu had to say. When Murong Xiu saw that Zuo Qing was silent and unwilling to speak, he directly voiced out his thoughts.
”Zuo Dong, let me tell you this. I, Murong Xiu, don't just want to be a simple Regent. I also don't want to be a courier. If I had the heart, I would've lost my Western family name long ago.” Murong Xiu actually said such outrageous words in front of Zuo Zi, but Zuo Zi knew that Murong Xiu would not dare to say such words. Murong Xiu wasn't a stupid person, so who knew what kind of power he had.
”You came here today to tell me not to fight with you anymore, right?” He knew he was wrong, and the biggest mistake he made was choosing to fight Murong Xiu. Judging from Murong Xiu's tone, he knew that Murong Xiu had such a grand idea in his heart. Murong Xiu wanted to rule the world, but the funny thing was that he had always wanted to take him down in the imperial court.
When a person felt that his opponent was merely a small fry and realized that the other person had already gone too far ahead of him, would he still choose to deal with him? No, the current Zuo Qing had truly discovered that he was wrong, and Murong Xiu had already surpassed him in terms of ambition. It was laughable that he had always thought that there were two tigers in a mountain and wanted to get rid of Murong Xiu, but who knew that the other person didn't even put him in his eyes.
Compared to the throne, I prefer to play behind the scenes, while I want to chase the deer to the world. Amongst my opponents, Helian is actually a huge enemy, I really do not have the mood to fight with you anymore, on the other hand, if I were to lose, then the Western Kingdom will immediately fall apart, which is something that you should be well aware of, since I have come here today to tell you about it, you should be well aware of it. I'm leaving, you think about it for yourself. ” Murong Xiu told them his goal as well, leaving behind Zuo Wuji, who continued to ponder silently. When they reached the door, Murong Xiu didn't turn around and left behind a single sentence.
”Zuo Qian, be a good prime minister. I won't fight for anything with you. If one day, I, Murong Xiu, become the Prime Minister of the world, then you will still be the Prime Minister of the world!” When Murong Xiu left, he said those words. However, when Zuo Qian heard those words, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
First, he had used his profound strength to make sure that Zuo Qian had no room for resistance, then he had forced him to leave step by step. Finally, when Zuo Dong had no choice but to admit that he was indeed inferior to Murong Xiu, Murong Xiu had suggested such a sweet temptation: the prime minister of a country under the heavens and the prime minister of Western Paradise. Zuo Qian also knew what this meant, but Zuo Qian had no other choice.
On the second day, in the imperial court, Murong Xiu actually didn't show up and the officials didn't say anything. On the second day, in the imperial court, Murong Xiu actually didn't show up and the officials didn't say anything.
At this moment, Murong Xiu was in his mansion, planning something. He had saved Mu Rong Xiu and lost out on him. Helian, you're looking down on me, Murong Xiu.
”Wang Huai, let me ask you. If I send you to assassinate Helian, what do you think is your probability of success?” Mu Rong Xiu actually said that to Wang Huai.
”This, my lord, is almost impossible.” Although Wang Huai was a bit unwilling, he still truthfully said that he was no match for Helian Lie. At this moment, Helian Lie was most likely already in the palace; there was no longer any possibility for him to assassinate him. When Murong Xiu heard Wang Huai's words, he didn't get angry, but smiled instead.
