Eternal Sword

Chapter 192 Mutual Use
Murong Daoye said: "If His Majesty has made a decision, it doesn't matter to me."

Adopting Du as an adopted daughter would be beneficial to the Murong family.

The relationship between the Murong family and the royal family can also be further improved.

"Thank you very much, senior."

Yuan Qingshan pulled Mrs. Du to stand up. Mrs. Du bowed slightly and bowed towards Murong Daoye.

Mrs. Du is not the queen yet, so she follows the etiquette of a younger generation.

Murong Daoye nodded slightly, accepting the gift, then took off a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Du and said, "I have worn this warm jade for decades, it has the effect of calming the spirit and concentrating the mind, you can accept it."

Mrs. Du's face turned slightly red, still a little embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Qingshan.

Yuan Qingshan nodded slightly.

"Thank you father."

Mrs. Du respectfully took the warm jade with both hands.

Murong Daoye said, "I will take her to meet my children later so that they can get to know each other. If anything happens in the future, they can be taken care of."

"Thank you, old patriarch."

Yuan Qingshan bowed slightly.

Murong Daoye said, "When does Your Majesty plan to return to the capital? I will go with you."

Yuan Qingshan's eyes lit up.

Before this, Murong Daoye had never agreed or expressed his attitude regarding leaving the mountains and going to the capital to take up the positions of Grand General and Lord of Qilin.

Saying this now actually means that you have agreed to leave the mountain!
Yuan Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Before returning to the capital, I have to go to Yongzhou Wujiang Mountain. When I escaped from the capital, I was fortunately taken in and taken care of by a master."

"Now that the situation in the capital has been settled, I have to go see him."

"Wujiang Mountain?"

Murong Daoye's heart moved, and he was silent for a while before he said, "That's perfect. There is an old friend on Wujiang Mountain. I will go and pay my respects to him on the way."

"The former Emperor Wu?"

Yuan Qingshan suddenly asked.

Murong Daoye's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty, you won't mind, right?"

Yuan Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Not forgetting old friends shows the old patriarch's true benevolence and righteousness."

……

Murong Daoye personally escorted Yuan Qingshan and his wife to the front hall.

At this time, the eldest son Murong You and the second son Murong Kang had already returned home and were chatting with Murong Hou.

When he saw Yuan Qingshan, Murong Kang was shocked.

As the governor of Yanzhou, he had been to Beijing to meet the current emperor, so he naturally recognized Yuan Qingshan.

Murong Daoye told the three people that he was going to adopt Du as his adopted daughter.

Murong You and Murong Kang looked at each other and suddenly realized.

It was not until this moment that they understood what their third brother had just meant when he said that the Murong family would become very rich.

Murong Daoye stayed in the front hall for a while and then returned to the inner courtyard.

Enter the inner house.

Murong Daoye came to a row of bookshelves and took out two books from the second row from the top, just revealing a protruding stone on the wall behind the bookshelf.

Kaka!

Murong Daoye twisted the stone, and the wall behind him split into two, sliding to both sides, revealing a secret room.

The layout of this secret room is not much different from that outside, with beds, tables, chairs and other items available.

"Your Highness, are you used to living here these days?"

Murong Daoye walked into the secret room, and the wall behind him closed automatically. He looked at a middle-aged man inside and asked.

The person in the secret room was none other than Lu Qianshan who had been kidnapped earlier, that is, the son of Emperor Wu, Qin Xi!

Qin Xi smiled faintly and said, "Compared to falling into the hands of the Yuwen family, it is at least much better here."

If he fell into the Yuwen family, he would be living a life worse than death. Although he was imprisoned by Murong Daoye, at least he did not suffer any physical pain.

After Murong Daoye captured him, he was quite polite to him.

Qin Xi asked, "Any news about my wife and daughter?"

"Your daughter fled to the secluded valley beside the Yongzhou Mountain, where she attracted the Evil Emperor to take action and kill all the pursuers."

Murong Daoye said: "As for your wife, her whereabouts are still unknown."

Qin Xi remained silent.

Murong Daoye suddenly said: "The current emperor is visiting today and is now in my house."

"Oh?"

Qin Xi's expression changed, and he asked, "The emperor wants to invite you out of seclusion?"

"good."

Murong Daoye nodded and asked, "What else did you guess?"

Qin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Pingzhou rebelled, and Emperor Qian had no choice but to reappoint the Grand Commandant. Now he has come to visit you in person and asked you to come out of retirement. I guess he must have felt the pressure from the Grand Commandant."

"You are the only one who can rival Yuwen Mao in terms of prestige in the army."

"If we want to decentralize the power of the Grand Commandant, all we have to do is to establish the position of Grand General."

Murong Daoye nodded secretly.

Emperor Wu's son was indeed intelligent.

Just by looking at a few words, we can make a rough guess.

Murong Daoye stared at Qin Xi intently and said slowly: "Emperor Qian passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. The court seems calm on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents are surging and chaos may break out at any time! The opportunity to restore the country is right in front of us. What do you think, Your Highness?"

"What do you mean by restoration of the country? You must be joking, General."

Qin Xi replied calmly.

Murong Daoye said in a deep voice: "As long as Your Highness is willing, with Your Highness's status, you can definitely gather the old subordinates of the previous dynasty and call for hundreds of people to respond. This is a force that cannot be ignored. With the assistance of the old ministers, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

Qin Xi shook his head and said, "I was not born to compete for power, and I am too lazy to build a golden platform in the capital. I am not interested in this, and the general has made a mistake in choosing me."

After hearing this, Murong Daoye slowly withdrew his gaze.

Qin Xi sneered in his heart.

If he had really revealed some intention of restoring his country just now, this former war god would probably abandon him or even kill him as soon as possible after using him!
Murong Daoye is extremely ambitious and would never be willing to be inferior to others.

My father's advisers had already seen this.

Even his father, a great hero and a genius, couldn't defeat Murong Daoye. How could a useless person like him be able to defeat him?
How could Murong Daoye be willing to assist?
With what he said just now, Murong Daoye was just testing him!

"Even if Your Highness has no ambition to restore the country, doesn't he want revenge?"

Murong Daoye said: "The previous dynasty was destroyed and Emperor Wu died because of Yuwen Mao's betrayal, and then the Xuantian Sect took advantage of the situation and invaded."

"Now that I am about to enter the capital, I will inevitably have to fight against Yuwen Mao and Xuantian Sect. Your Highness, why don't you help me to defeat the Yuwen family in one fell swoop and avenge Emperor Wu!"

Qin Xi remained silent.

Murong Daoye continued, "Mrs. Lu's whereabouts are unknown because of the Yuwen family and Xuantian Sect. Your Highness, don't you want revenge?"

Qin Xi was indeed somewhat moved.

He knew that Murong Daoye wanted to use him to gather the old subordinates of the previous dynasty and control this part of the power.

And he also wanted to use Murong Daoye to deal with the Yuwen family and the Xuantian Sect!
The two have their own ideas and use each other, but their goals are the same.

"If I agree, will you let me out?"

Qin Xi asked.

"I only hid Your Highness here for the sake of protecting Him."

Murong Daoye smiled slightly and said, "If Your Highness wants to leave, you can do so at any time."

"However, I must remind you that your identity has been exposed. I don't know how many eyes are staring at you. Without my protection, you will not survive more than three days outside."
