Chapter 387 Hostages
Li Muyun nodded: "You don't want to bet, you want to be sure, I can understand this."
"Thank you, Mr. Huo, understand..." Kim Seung-woo said quickly when he saw that Li Muyun's tone was a little loose.
But after half of his words, Li Muyun waved his hand and interrupted: "But I am not stupid either. If you want to be sure, you can't take risks. No matter what, Quan Gai Suwen said, it was your Mo Lizhi. He arrived in the Tang Dynasty under the name of a mission. How much risk do you think I need to take to keep him?"
"In addition, to be honest, I don't believe you. Who knows if you will suddenly change your mind at that time? If you insist that I kill your Mo Lizhi, what should I do if I want me to pay my life? I didn't get a bite of fish, but I was fishy, wouldn't it be a joke!"
"This..." Kim Seung-woo was told by Li Muyun, and he immediately didn't know how to interfere.
In fact, neither Gao Jianwu nor him had ever thought about giving money. They just wanted to use him, and then turned around after he killed Quan Gai Suwen.
Anyway, by that time, Quangasuwen had already died, and Goguryeo had no worries anymore, and their goals had been achieved.
No matter how dissatisfied Li Muyun was, no matter how unwilling he was, he would be difficult for him to control the government affairs, and no matter how frustrated he was, he could only endure it.
As for Li Shimin..., as the sect leader, his minister killed the envoy of the vassal state, he probably couldn't bear to attack Goguryeo.
All of this was discussed by Gao Jianwu and Kim Seung-woo last night. They believed that under the temptation of 100,000 taels of silver, Li Muyun would definitely be fooled.
But Kim Seung-woo never expected that although Li Muyun was greedy for money and lust, she was really not stupid at all like he said. On the contrary, she was very smart and had seen through their plans in advance without thinking.
Seeing Kim Seung-woo's speechless look, Li Muyun shook his head and smiled with emotion: "Lao Jin, when it comes to calculating people, I want to advise you, don't think that all the playboys are fools. In fact, I don't necessarily read less books than your king, and the education I received is not necessarily lower. The reason why they are like this is because there is no hope."
Kim Seung-woo swallowed hard, and for the first time he truly examined Li Muyun, an arrogant, domineering playboy who was greedy and lustful.
Did he really underestimate him? Could this playboy be so smart? Yes, it should be so. If you consider the inheritance rights and the relationship between the royal family, Li Muyun's arrogant and domineering behavior is indeed the best way to protect himself.
But if Li Muyun is so smart, what should I do if the task assigned by King Rong Liu? Besides, Xiaoyao Hou already knows his plan, and even if he wants to turn back, it is too late.
Of course, he could also choose to kill people and keep Li Muyun and Yu Zhining behind. But this would undoubtedly give Li Shimin an excuse to start a war. At that time, a million troops were stationed on the border, what would Goguryeo use to resist?
Thinking of this, Kim Seung-woo could no longer sit still and said to Li Muyun anxiously: "Mr. Hou, you must have misunderstood us in this matter. It would be better if you don't believe us yet, we can give half of the silver first."
"No, I want everything." Li Muyun shook his head: "I don't want to care about who is right and who is wrong among you Goguryeo people, but I don't want to take any risks, so you can only take a gamble, either choose to believe me, or you keep the money and hire more killers, assassins, etc. I believe there will always be success."
Speaking of this, there is no room for negotiation. Jin Seung-woo decided to go back and report to Gao Jianwu truthfully. As for the final outcome of the matter, it depends on King Rongliu's decision.
...
Yu Zhining is still old and the cold climate of Goguryeo, so he became sick unexpectedly. He was very sick with a high fever of more than 100 degrees. I heard that it would be ripe after putting eggs on his head for a quarter of an hour.
The old man thought he could not stand this level and said he would go back to China no matter what, because he didn't want to die in a foreign land.
Gao Jianwu had no choice but to agree to the Tang Dynasty mission to be divided into two, and some of them protected the deputy envoy Yu Zhining and returned to the Tang Dynasty, while the chief envoy Li Muyun needed to stay in Goguryeo and wait for all Jingguan to be destroyed before setting off for the Tang Dynasty.
Before leaving, Li Muyun came to Yu Zhining's carriage and looked at Yu Zhining who was lying inside and was about to die: "Teacher, try not to stop on the road, use the fastest speed of the Tang Dynasty, don't wait for me, and don't send people back to find me. I will find a way to hold them back in Goguryeo."
Yu Zhining sat up suddenly and said with a sad face: "Mu Yun, I'd better stay here. I'm so old that I won't lose even if I die. You..."
Li Muyun waved his hand and told Lao Yu not to be excited: "I won't be a problem. King Rongliu is not a fool. If he really wants to touch me, our bodies will probably be cold at this time."
Yu Zhining nodded reluctantly and looked at Li Muyun deeply. Since he heard him talk about King Rongliu the night before yesterday, Old Yu was immediately frightened and lost his soul. This kind of battle for imperial power is often the most widely involved. If you are accidentally implicated, you will end up dead without a burial place.
Li Muyun also knew this, so after saying all this to Zhining, he did not wait for him to express his opinion. He really arranged for him to get sick, and at the same time made a request to Gao Jianwu to return to the Tang Dynasty.
But Gao Jianwu is not a fool, Yu Zhining is optional to him. He is not even aware of an old man, even if he returns to the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter, but Li Muyun must never leave.
For nothing else, it was because Li Muyun was too smart. Although he repeatedly emphasized that he would not disclose any news, Gao Jianwu would not let him leave until the matter was finished.
Not only that, even Yu Zhining who left was monitored by the escort team sent by Gao Jianwu throughout the process. At the same time, the escort team was also ordered. Anyone who had contact with Yu Zhining on the road must be killed without leaving a single living mouth.
At this time, Li Muyun was detained by Gao Jianwu. As long as the bones of the former Sui soldiers did not rise out for a day, or if Li Muyun did not meet the request of King Rongliu for a day, he would not have the chance to leave.
