20demayo Chapter 299
Chapter 299
Mu Jun, a capable general under Xiao Jingyi, not only holds the power of part of the military defense of Xiguan City, but is also an indispensable think tank around Xiao Jingyi.
He has a high prestige in the army and is respected and trusted by the soldiers. However, at this moment, he seems a little worried.
Just now, in the Pingxi Palace, Mu Jun expressed his views, but did not get the support of Xiao Jingyi.
After leaving the palace, Mu Jun's heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew the risks and variables that this cooperation might bring, and this uncertainty made him feel more pressured.
Mu Jun was silent, and his mood became heavier.
As one of the earliest people to follow Xiao Jingyi, Mu Jun thought he knew Xiao Jingyi very well. This ambitious and forbearing person, now it is a good opportunity to start a rebellion, but the rise of the North Territory has lost the first opportunity, and it is difficult to do anything.
When the old emperor just died, Mu Jun persuaded Xiao Jingyi to take action and first take Linzhou, Yunzhou, and Leizhou, relying on the power of several states to compete with the court.
But Xiao Jingyi only wanted to be a fisherman, ignoring the speed of the strong rise of the northern border.
When Xiao Jingyi reacted, he encountered strong resistance from the prince and others, and fell into the quagmire of war and could never get out.
Mu Jun was very disappointed. Following Xiao Jingyi, Mu Jun naturally had his own ambitions, but at this moment, no matter how he looked at it, it would all be in vain.
"Lord Mu, the prince is determined to do it, and it is difficult for us to persuade him. If this goes on, we will be doomed. What do you think we should do?"
As the second-in-command of Xiguan City, Mu Jun naturally has a small group around him. These people, led by Mu Jun, advance and retreat together.
"Don't talk nonsense. The prince has his reasons for insisting. You just need to follow his orders."
Mu Jun was shocked. This was at the gate of the Pingxi Palace. If Xiao Jingyi knew about this discussion, these people would not have a good end.
At this critical time, Xiao Jingyi was not soft-hearted when killing people.
"Yes, yes."
The man also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He didn't dare to say more and immediately lowered his head and left.
Mu Jun didn't say anything all the way and returned to his home in deep thought.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Mu Jun entered the door, he saw someone packing up things. It was obvious that they had just moved into the yard.
"My lord, you have a distant relative who came to you. This is the gift they brought."
A smart servant reported immediately.
This confused Mu Jun. Almost all of his family members were active in Xiguan City. Xiao Jingyi didn't allow them to go out to develop, so where did the distant relatives come from?
Besides, although there was no war in Xiguan City at the moment, not everyone could come in at will.
"Where are the people?"
Feeling something unusual, Mu Jun asked immediately.
Later, under the guidance of the servants, Mu Jun saw several people in the hall of his home, several strangers. Mu Jun was very sure that these people were not his distant relatives.
"Who are you?"
Waiting away the servants, Mu Jun asked.
Looking at the calm and relaxed people, Mu Jun had already guessed in his heart. Thinking of the scene that just happened, Mu Jun did not say much.
"Master Mu, I believe you already know our origins. Since you did not make it public, it means that you want to have a good chat. I am very pleased that Master Mu made the right choice."
"My name is Jia Xu. You should have heard of my name. There is no need to introduce more."
Jia Xu, the first counselor under Long Tian in the Northern Territory, is famous. Even if Mu Jun has never seen him, he naturally knows him.
"It turned out to be Lord Jia Xu. Now we are fighting. Lord, you are so brave that you dare to show up in front of me. Don't you fear death?"
Although he guessed that the other party was from the North, Mu Jun didn't expect that Jia Xu would come in person.
This person's coming in person is enough to show the attitude of the North. After all, Jia Xu is a person who can represent Long Tian.
"Okay, Lord Mu, there is no need to joke."
"I'll be frank. Lord Mu must be clear about the current situation. Lord Mu can also guess my intention. How to do it depends on you."
Jia Xu was aggressive. Jia Xu had guessed a little about Mu Jun's attitude just now. Yes, who is willing to be buried with this broken ship in Xiguan City now? It's just that there is no way and opportunity.
Now that Jia Xu is here, it is a life-saving straw for Mu Jun and others.
"Master Jia, you should know that in Xiguan City, Xiao Jingyi is the king, and I am not as important as you think."
Mu Jun knows his own weight, and even if he wants to surrender to the North, he doesn't seem to have that much capital.
"I know the situation in Xiguan City, and I won't make it difficult for you. I just ask you one question, if Xiao Jingyi is gone, you may lead Xiguan City to surrender to the North."
Jia XuNo nonsense, just tell the plan directly.
"This..."
Mu Jun did not give an answer immediately, not because he could not do it, but because he was considering whether he could do it.
"I wonder what arrangements the prince has for us in the future?"
After thinking for a moment, Mu Jun asked the question he was most concerned about.
"As long as we obey the laws of the Northern Territory and the prince's orders, everything will remain the same."
Jia Xu knew what Mu Jun was worried about and gave a positive answer directly.
For the Northern Territory, as long as these people surrender smoothly, hand over the military power in their hands, and give them the status they deserve, it doesn't matter.
Long Tian's move was also to save time and avoid more losses. Although these people were ambitious, most of them obeyed Xiao Jingyi. As long as they behaved themselves in the future, Long Tian would not make it too difficult for them.
"I believe that Lord Jia can represent the prince."
"Mu Jun is willing to wait for Lord Jia's orders."
It was easier to surrender than Jia Xu expected.
This is the current situation in Xiguan City. As long as these people can save their lives, few people are willing to accompany Xiao Jingyi to die.
"Okay, Lord Mu will be glad for his choice today."
"Make arrangements now to ensure that you can take charge of Xiguan City alone after Xiao Jingyi's death without any trouble."
"Then you go to see Xiao Jingyi, and you can think of the reputation yourself, but you have to find a way to bring this person in."
Jia Xu pointed at Dugu Qiubai and said.
It is basically impossible for outsiders to break into the Pingxi Palace. Even if Dugu Qiubai has such ability, he will definitely be entangled by Xiao Jingyi's people, causing Xiao Jingyi to escape.
If this guy hides, it will be too troublesome to find him. If Mu Jun brings people in and sees Xiao Jingyi again, then the matter will be settled. No matter how capable Xiao Jingyi is, he can't escape Dugu Qiubai's attack.
"Understood, I will make arrangements immediately."
To control Xiguan City, it is necessary to get rid of Xiao Jingyi's diehards. In order to make things go smoothly, Mu Jun has no time to distinguish carefully. As long as Mu Jun is sure, he will die this time.
As night fell, some black-clad men suddenly appeared in many places in Xiguan City, and these people all had their own clear goals.
For a moment, a silent killing began.
Mu Jun was worthy of being the second-in-command of Xiguan City. The power under his control was not weak. With the cooperation of Jia Xu, it was not difficult to secretly clean up Xiguan City.
At the same time, Mu Jun led the guards to the Pingxi Palace.
