Chapter 826 - Chapter 827 - The KingForeigner"s surname? When Mu Jin thought about it, he felt that it was actually a little funny.
In the end, he had to be conferred the surname "w.a.n.g"!
However, Mu Jin only felt that it was extremely funny, because he knew that as long as he was bestowed the t.i.tle of Duke, he would not be far from his goal. Sooner or later, he would be able to openly announce his true ident.i.ty, and he would have to take back his ident.i.ty as Mu Jin.
"What the young master said makes a lot of sense. Only with the ident.i.ty of a Young Master of Qing Ming Waterside Pavilion can he be a threat to the Prince An and Prince Lu. But …" Mu Zhi definitely did not believe that Mu Jin would actually agree to cooperate with him so easily, and so actively as well. There must be a deeper conspiracy on Mu Jin"s side behind this.
"But what?" Mu Jin"s deep, pitch-black eyes immediately locked onto his demonic eyes.
Mu Zhi didn"t have his kind of mentality, but he was very shrewd and wouldn"t be easily fooled.
He was just worried that Mu Zhi would suspect his real motive.
"It"s just that Young Master placed himself in danger, and even bet the entire pavilion. Is it really to help us, or is there some other motive?"
Sure enough, Mu Zhi was still suspicious. No matter how careful and meticulous his actions were, Mu Zhi would still doubt them.
Because Mu Zhi clearly knew his ident.i.ty.
Mu Jin turned his gaze and took a sip of the teacup on the table. The bitter and fresh taste of the teacup instantly flowed into Mu Jin"s mouth, and after that, Mu Jin said casually: "I have already told the emperor my objective before, if the emperor continues to hesitate like this, the consequences will be even worse. Now that Northern Desert State has a civil war, Southern Mountain State and Western Ling State have already received the news, so the two nations might just wait for Northern Desert State to suffer both losses, and then send troops to separate the Northern Desert State.
"What do you mean?" Mu Zhi tensed up.
When their army and supplies are fully prepared, there will only be one chance left. If Prince An and Prince Lu extend their hand to help Northern Desert State at this time, how do you think Northern Desert State will repay Prince An and Prince Lu? " Mu Jin stopped there and did not continue.
He believed that Mu Zhi could understand the meaning behind his words.
Not everyone was waiting for the Northern Desert State to fall. There were still some people with ill intentions who wanted to make use of the Northern Desert State to make a second coup.
After Mu Zhi heard Mu Jin"s a.n.a.lysis, the evil demon"s eyes opened wide, and then trembled a few times.
He then said in a cold and gloomy tone, "Alright, then let"s carry out everything according to Young Master"s plan. I hope Young Master won"t disappoint me!"
The two of them had been discussing since afternoon and finally, in the latter half of the night, Mu Zhi chose to compromise.
Mu Jin inadvertently lifted his lips. The more Mu Zhi cared about his throne, the more miserable his loss would be in the end.
For some reason, the night was extremely hot and stuffy. There was not even a breath of wind in the surrounding area, so much so that it was hard to breathe.
Fu Lu"s brows tightly knitted together. With the horsetail whisk in hand, he continuously walked outside the imperial study. Amongst the eunuchs and palace maids that were guarding outside, fine lines of sweat seeped out of their foreheads.
Fu Lu"s back was already drenched in sweat.
Just as Fu Lu was about to ask, the door to the imperial study was finally pushed open, and a crescent moon shaped figure walked out. As he walked past, a cold wind suddenly blew, causing people"s hairs to stand on end even though it was extremely cool.
"Your majesty, six hours ago a spy came to report. Miss Thousandleaf followed a little girl out of the clear water pavilion, and behind her are the disciples of the clear water pavilion. Judging from their att.i.tude towards the little girl, they are extremely respectful and …" Fu Lu hurriedly walked in, but his eyes were fixated on the white crescent figure that was nearby, and his eyebrows were knitted tightly.
When the young master walked out of the imperial study just now, he was enveloped in a heavy chill!
Fu Lu had not finished speaking when he suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture. Fu Lu immediately shut his mouth.
Mu Zhi"s originally dark and gloomy eyes suddenly lit up with a burst of resplendence. With a slight smirk, he said, "If our guesses are not wrong, that little girl should be the Young Master"s daughter!"
Heh, the two of them had clearly recognized each other long ago.
However, Mu Jin insisted on doing that, making him think that the person was not Wei Yuanwei, that they had not recognized each other yet.
After that, Mu Jin suddenly wanted to cooperate with him and very actively took the initiative to help him get rid of Duke Lu and the Prince An.
What exactly was Mu Jin planning to do this?
Normally, after Mu Jin reunite with Wei Yuanwei"s family, he would definitely choose to leave this place with their daughter and lead a small life for them.
However, Mu Jin did not do anything out of the ordinary.
In the past, when Mu Jin wanted to find the hidden families, he only wanted to get the Spirit Orbs. But now, he found them.
What did Mu Jin want his Spirit Orb for?
What news about the underworld clans?
The current Mu Jin really had no reason to continue cooperating with him.
Mu Jin, oh Mu Jin, just what is your goal?
Do you also want my throne in the end?
When Mu Zhi thought of this, the evil demon"s eyes shot out an incomparably cold light.
"Young … Young Master"s daughter? " Hearing Mu Zhi"s words, Fu Lu was extremely shocked, but he immediately continued: "But this servant has never heard of Young Master getting married, and has not seen a single woman around him these years!"
"As matters stand, do you really think that he"s just the young master of the Clear Water Pavilion?" Mu Zhi said coldly.
Hearing that, Fu Lu"s face immediately changed, and he immediately followed, "Then if that"s the case, isn"t the Emperor leading the wolf into the house?"
The reason why Fu Lu was able to become Mu Zhi"s right-hand man was naturally because Fu Lu"s thoughts were meticulous and resourceful enough. Therefore, with just a slight hint from Mu Zhi, Fu Lu could immediately understand what was going on.
"The wolf is already here. Even if I don"t bring him in, he will still come in!" Both of Mu Zhi"s hands were behind his back as he straightened his back. The evil demon"s eyes slightly narrowed as cold air was instantly emitted from his body, "My father s.n.a.t.c.hed the throne from his father"s hands. Now, he wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the throne away from us once more, but we will absolutely not allow this to happen!"
