Chapter 429(2/2)

This sentence is a bit threatening and also a bit ridiculing.

The threat is because Yang Guangyuan is a stinking shit now, and anyone who gets involved will have a bad reputation.

The ridicule is to show that those in power who did what Yang Guangyuan did have to move town obediently.

Shi Chonggui's position as emperor has been firmly established, and Empress Dowager Li has completely lost power. Former consorts like Murong Nobunaga should not cause more trouble.

Murong Xin looked at Jing Yanguang with a non-smiling smile, waved his hand and asked Wang Shenqi to pour wine for them.

"Of course I know, because Yang Guangyuan didn't take away much of the ship's goods at all, because all his money has been exchanged for silver notes in Luoyang, so I know how much property he has."

Although Zhang Zhao is currently doing well in all aspects of the banking industry, it is still easy for Murong Nobunaga to learn information from it that is difficult for ordinary people to know.

This is the biggest problem with paper money in this era. It is difficult for rulers to resist the temptation of printing money all over the sky.

Jing Yanguang glanced at Murong Nobunaga blankly for a few times, and then he realized that he could not just regard Murong Nobunaga as a has-been prince-in-law, nor as a big wealthy man in Tokyo City.

Instead, we should regard him as the prince of Liang Kingdom and the hand extended to Tokyo by Zhang Zhao, the King of Great Liang.

"In the court, the Duke urged the emperor not to surrender to the Khitan. Now the Khitan's envoys to question him are about to arrive in Tokyo. Doesn't the commander-in-chief really know that he is in danger?"

Murong Nobunaga sneered. Others looked at Jing Yanguang and thought he was a passionate, powerful and unyielding person.

But in Murong Nobunaga's opinion, Jing Yanguang is just good at using such words to package himself.

He spoke loudly, but in fact he was not prepared at all, and he had no determination to fight the Khitan to the death.

The reason why he is so sure is because Murong Nobunaga has seen what a truly healthy and passionate person is like who takes the world as his own responsibility.

That was his father, the Great Liang King Zhang Zhao. Murong Nobunaga, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, accepted this stepfather because he was moved by Zhang Zhao's sentiments.

After witnessing Zhang Zhao's strong national sentiment and urgency to put an end to the troubled times, Jing Yanguang's performances seemed to Murong Nobunaga to be as fake as they were fake.

"Scaremongering! If the captain came to a certain person just to talk about this, there would be no need to go to such trouble."

After all, Jing Yanguang had experienced storms, and of course he would not be frightened by Murong Nobunaga's words.

"Then I would like to ask the commander-in-chief, how should we respond when the Khitan envoy arrives?"

Murong Nobunaga took great time to treat Jing Yanguang to drinks and dinner, and was not affected by the impatience on Jing Yanguang's face at all.

Jing Yanguang smiled coldly, "What's the point of asking? Of course we have to argue with reason. When it comes to ethics, it is a private matter for the emperor to call the Lord of Khitan his grandfather.

But it is absolutely impossible for me, the Jin Dynasty, to surrender to the Khitan again!"

"Then the Lord of the Khitan Kingdom must be very angry. What if the cavalry goes south?" Murong Nobunaga continued to ask.

Jing Yanguang raised his head with an incomparable air, "If we want to move southward, we should use Taifu Liu from Hedong, Taiwei Du from Yecheng, Fu Yanqing, and the commanders of various towns in Gaoxingzhou to divide their forces to resist the attack.

If the leader of the Khitan Kingdom goes south in person, I will lead the elite soldiers of the imperial army and attack him with a hundred thousand people sharpening their swords!"

Although Jing Yanguang had the power of the court, he actually wanted to command Liu Zhiyuan, Du Chongwei and other important ministers now.

I'm afraid it's Fu Yanqing. It's not certain to what extent Gao Xingzhou can obey his orders.

"Then..." Murong Nobunaga drawled his voice.

"What if the Liang army suddenly goes south to Guanzhong at this time, then leaves Tongguan and goes straight to Tokyo? What can I do?"

Jing Yanguang's eyes widened violently. He thought for a while and found that he had no means to stop the Liang Kingdom's army.

Let alone leaving Tongguan in the east and reaching Tokyo in the end, just entering Guanzhong, the hearts and minds of the Jin Kingdom might collapse.

"The world is already divided into three parts. Khitan is the strongest, followed by Jin, and Liang is the weakest. In addition, Meng, Shu, and Tang are all mediocre people. Don't they all want Jin to fight one against two?

"Murong Nobunaga asked in a low voice.

Jing Yanguang managed to calm down and stared at Murong Nobunaga's expression.

"The late emperor's father's affair with the Khitan has already caused the world to boil. If King Zhang Tian wants to cooperate with the Khitan to invade, no one will be convinced even if he takes Guanzhong."

Haha! A martial artist like Jing Yanguang actually started talking about people’s hearts. It’s really ridiculous!

It seems that this person didn't have much preparation at all and actually wanted to provoke the Khitans.

"Let me make a guess. If I, the Great Liang, and the Khitan act together, the emperor will have only one choice, and that is to stop his troops and seek peace.

Commander-in-Chief, let me guess what conditions my Khitan father-in-law would put forward if he asked for peace.

I think it’s nothing more than killing Jing Yanguang before we can make peace!”

When Jing Yanguang heard this, big drops of cold sweat began to fall from his head. His heart moved, and he began to feel that he was indeed a little too reckless?

But unexpectedly, Murong Nobunaga's strange and sinister voice sounded again.

"The commander-in-chief must be thinking that after returning, he will persuade the emperor to suspend relations with the Khitan.

But it's a pity that it was you, Jing Yanguang, who proposed not to be a subject. Now you are proposing to be a subject. What will the emperor think if he can't stand it?

Besides, if you continue to be a vassal of the Khitan, why do you, Jing Yanguang, need to be in charge?

In terms of your relationship with the Khitan, your closeness to the emperor, and your ability to govern the country, are you better than Sang Weihan?

Once we make peace, the commander-in-chief will inevitably lose all his current authority, are you willing?"

After Jing Yanguang listened, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. The arrogant look he had when he first went upstairs disappeared and he cupped his hands.

"The captain will not talk to so-and-so in plain words. If you have any assignments, please make it clear that you will obey me."

Murong Nobunaga raised his wine bowl and asked Jing Yanguang for a bowl of the finest purple wine, and then he sighed and said with emotion.

"We, the Liang people, are the subjects of the great dynasty after all. How can we be willing to help the Khitan attack our homeland?

Besides, the Khitans have entered the Central Plains and are of no use to me in the Great Liang.

But someone heard that Feng Yu, Li Yanbi and others were inciting the emperor to block the Hexi trade route, strictly prohibit the circulation of banknotes in Hexi, and even blockade Danzheng Gorge and the passes west of Fengxiang.

Haven't they ever thought that if this happens, our Great Liang cavalry will definitely go south?"

Jing Yanguang actually looked down upon Feng Yu, Li Yanbi and others.

The latter two, one is the brother of Wu Guo's wife Feng, and the other is Feng's servant in the palace. It is impossible to say that he has any connection with Feng.

Moreover, Jing Yanguang knew that Shi Chonggui wanted to make Feng his queen in Jin Dynasty. When the time comes, I am afraid that these two people will be called Jing Yanguang along with him.

For a warrior who is in charge of the imperial army at this time, it is simply a shame and a great humiliation to be called together with such a person!

Everyone in the world will think that Jing Yanguang is incapable.

So Jing Yanguang was very cooperative and told the truth.

"This is actually an attempt by Feng Yu and Li Yanbi to extort the wealth from going to the west to enrich themselves. The emperor has no intention of cutting off exchanges with Hexi."

Murong Nobunaga snorted coldly, "You don't know how to live or die, and if you blackmail me into doing business in the West, you are provoking me, Great Liang!"

The emperor has no intention of cutting off contacts with Hexi, but I am afraid that he cannot resist Mrs. Wu's pillow, right?"

Jing Yanguang also felt helpless, "Feng Yu is timid, so I might be able to dissuade him, but Li Yanbi is extremely greedy, so I'm afraid it's not that easy to dissuade him."

"The Commander-in-Chief must know that this is not about doing something for someone, but about the Commander-in-Chief's family and life.

I can tell the commander of the capital truthfully that once the Hexi trade route is blocked, the Liang cavalry will probably arrive before the Khitan army."

When Murong Nobunaga saw that Jing Yanguang was still a little confused, he could only give him a small reminder.

Jing Yanguang gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, can you tell me what the King wants?

Now that the emperor is not willing to surrender to the Khitan like the late emperor, is it possible between Jin and Liang...?"

Murong Nobunaga nodded slowly, "The King of Heaven still admires what the Emperor does.

If the emperor is sure that he will not surrender to the Khitan, it is not impossible for Liang to come to court again.

If the capital commander wants to solve this big problem for the emperor, Li Yanbi, a fool, must solve it as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Jing Yanguang glanced at Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Shenqi beside Murong Nobunaga with some hesitation.

"Jing Gong said it doesn't matter, Zhao Erlang and Wang Dalang are both close to someone."

"Then Li Yanbi hid an outer room in the west of the city, and sometimes he would spend the night there.

A certain person has found out the specific location, which is not far from the residence of Murong Yanzhao, the capital of the Forbidden Army. With only three hundred strings, Yanzhao will surely kill him!"

A smile finally appeared on Murong Nobunaga's face, "In this case, I will wait for the good news from Jinggong."

However, just after Jing Yanguang came downstairs, Murong Nobunaga immediately said to Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Shenqi.

"Xiang Hai'er went to inform Murong Sanlang and asked him to be careful not to silence Jing Yanguang after killing Li Yanbi.

Hmm..., you can let him go to Daxiangguo Temple, and someone will take him to Anxi.

You two are also getting ready, we will go to Liangzhou together then, how come you guys have never seen the windy sand in Hexi and why don’t you ride the Liangzhou Pegasus!"

Murong Nobunaga still planned to go back early and not contact Bai Chengfu and other Tuyuhun tribes in Hedong.

Although their family belongs to the Tuyuhun royal family, they are the direct descendants of Murong Fu, the last Tuyuhun Khan and King of Qinghai.

But now it is not known whether Bai Chengfu and the others still admit it.

The most important thing is that Murong Nobunaga did not want to miss the war against the Gaochang Uighurs.
