Chapter 449 God blocks and kills God
"Jiang Qingzhi is here."
"is it?"
"All my life's plans were ruined by this man."
"You have done evil things, and I am not surprised that you have ended up like this."
"You were quite resistant at first, but since the day before yesterday, you have become very affectionate."
"Don't sully my reputation, you bastard."
"You still have a reputation? Hahahaha!"
In the bedroom, Chen was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Mu Chaobi was standing inside the door laughing.
Chen's expression changed constantly, "You once said that you either become extremely rich or die on the streets. Now that you have achieved your wish, you come to laugh at a mere woman like me. Is that funny?"
"Extremely rich and noble, extremely rich and noble."
Mu Chaobi turned around with a smile, "When my brother inherited the title, I was quite jealous, but I could do nothing about it. When he inherited the title, the moment I bowed to him, I swore that I would make those who laughed at me look at me with new eyes in this life. And I did it."
Mu Chaobi said in a clear voice, "I have been in charge of Yunnan for several years. Although the Mu clan members secretly criticized me, they had to treat me with respect. The civil and military officials of Yunnan were submissive in front of me... Could it be possible that my brother was like this in the past?"
"Back then, he only dared to stick his butt out and shout "Long live the emperor". But where is this? This is Mu's Yunnan!"
Mu Chaobi roared, "Why can the Zhu family become emperors, but the Mu family cannot achieve empire? Now that Altan Khan is eyeing us covetously in the north, the court has no time to take care of other things. This is the time for the southwest to make great achievements.
All they need to do is to seize control of Yunnan and wait for an opportunity to act, either by sending troops to Sichuan and Guizhou, or by heading south to Myanmar and Siam.
Once the southwest is corrupted, Altan Khan from the north will certainly move south. Then I can sit back and watch the world change, and act accordingly...
If the Ming Dynasty is weak, we can send troops from the southwest to conquer the world. If the Ming Dynasty is strong, I will defend the southwest..."
"But how can you resist the Ming Dynasty with just a corner of the southwest?" Chen sneered.
"You are as stupid as your brother." Mu Chaobi said sarcastically, "Sichuan is a land of abundance, as rich as the south, but because of the inconvenient transportation in the southwest, its wealth is hidden in the mountains and no one cares about it.
But they all forgot one thing, Burma and Siam are close to the sea. As long as this road is opened, we can cross the sea to Tianzhu. It is a place with a lot of money and stupidity. As long as we occupy a piece of land, even if the situation in the southwest is very bad, our Mu family can still go by sea and find another way in Tianzhu... and become an independent country. "
Chen was stunned when she heard this. "You...you're crazy."
"He's not crazy."
Hearing this voice, Mu Chaobi was startled and said with a smile: "Is Chang Wei Bo here? Why doesn't he show up?"
Jiang Qingzhi appeared outside the courtyard gate.
Mu Chaobi said, "What do you think of my plan, Lord Changwei?"
"India has a caste system that divides the people into different classes. With your heroic character, you will be able to achieve great things in India. Defeat those so-called high castes, replace them with the Mu family, and then rule India..."
"If Lord Changwei asks me to flee to India, I swear that none of my descendants will ever return to the Central Plains." Mu Chaobi said sincerely.
"Actually, I think this is a good idea. What a pity." Jiang Qingzhi really thought that Mu Chaobi was a talent. If he was thrown into India, the people of Central Plains might become the top caste in a few decades.
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but be moved, but immediately shook his head.
Mu Chaobi smiled and said, "It seems that your target is not just me, but the Mu family?"
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and Mu Chaobi sighed, "This is to take Yunnan back to the court."
Chen couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Mu Chaobi, if it weren't for you, how could the court have any reason to attack the Mu family? You are the criminal of the Mu family, I wonder how you will explain to your ancestors in the underworld."
"What do you want to tell me?" Mu Chaobi sneered, "After I die, who cares about the Mu and Li families? It would be best if they were all dead."
"But you hurt me, you beast!" Chen wailed.
Jiang Qingzhi thought of some records of later generations and his expression became strange.
"Young Master, do you want him dead or alive?" Sun Chonglou came with a smell of blood on his body, staring at Mu Chaobi and asked excitedly.
Mu Chaobi smiled and said, "I think a dead Mu Chaobi would be more beneficial to the emperor and his ministers, and to Chang Weibo!"
A living Mu Chaobi was a trouble for Jiang Qingzhi. The military and civilians in Yunnan would think of this man from time to time, and when they thought of him, they would think of the Mu family's more than a hundred years of rule.
Therefore, Mu Chaobi must die.
Mu Chaobi said, "I only ask one thing of you, that I die in the reception room."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and Mu Chaobi turned around and saluted, "I am sorry for you, if there is an afterlife..."
"Shut up!" Chen shouted.
"Forget it!" Mu Chaobi smiled and said, "I have never been so sentimental. It's ridiculous."
He strode out, followed closely by several soldiers.
Not long after, Jiang Qingzhi heard loud laughter coming from the reception room.
"The Mu family is finished. Dad, brother, are you two happy? Happy? That means I, your son, have done something wrong, but, hahahaha!"
"There's a fire."
When the living room suddenly caught fire and someone was about to put out the fire, Jiang Qingzhi shook his head and said, "Just keep an eye on the surroundings. This room... is not bad if it burns down."
"Ancestors, the Mu family is gone, hahahaha! Gone!"
In the firelight, a person was dancing.
"I am the king of Yunnan, hahahaha!"
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the soldiers on both sides who were setting up isolation zones sped up their work.
"Uncle!"
The person who came turned out to be Xiang Jin, the woman next to Mu Shu. She said in panic, "The Mu family detained the second lady's family yesterday. I escaped from the disaster at that time. I beg you to save the second lady!"
…In a house in the west of the city, Mu Shu’s family had no sleep at all.
There were footsteps outside the door, and then someone pushed the door open.
"Shi Er Lang!" Mu Shu's father begged, "My family has never had any hostility towards the governor..."
The visitor sneered, "Mu Shu, that bitch, slandered the governor in the capital. What else could that be but hostility?"
Mu Shu was sitting in the corner. Hearing the noise, he stood up and asked, "Is Mu Chaobi planning a rebellion?"
“Hahaha!” Shi Erlang laughed. “There were some natives causing trouble tonight. The city has quieted down now. I guess the Chang Wei Bo you relied on has passed away. We are just waiting for the governor’s order. Here…”
Shi Erlang pointed at the house and sighed with compassion: "The servant forgot to look after the candles, so the fire burned your whole family to death. But fortunately, your family was able to leave together. This is also fate, isn't it?"
"You!" Mu Shu's father scolded, "Mu Chaobi is plotting something bad, and you are his accomplices. When the imperial army marches south, you will die without a burial place!"
"The capital? The capital can't take care of itself!" Shi Erlang sneered, "This is Yunnan, the Mu family's Yunnan. No matter who comes, they have to bow their heads."
"Twelve Lang!"
Someone hurried over. At this moment, the morning light appeared in the sky, and the person's face was illuminated by the blue and green light. "It's not good. The governor... Mu Chaobi has been defeated."
"What?" Shi Erlang's face changed drastically.
"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother!"
Amid the sound of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged man and several men and women hurried over, and bowed after entering the house. "Nine Brother, the people below are ignorant, I told them to take care of Nine Brother, but the beast Twelve Lang actually disobeyed..."
"Second Uncle! This is not you..." Shi Erlang just opened his mouth when he saw a flash of a knife. The guard behind the middle-aged man coldly put away the knife.
"Ninth brother, Second Madam, hey! I heard that Second Madam is close to Chang Wei Bo? Second Madam, please introduce me. Here... someone, bring me the things I prepared."
Boxes of valuables were carried over, and the man smiled and said, "These are my dowry for the second lady in the future."
Mu Shu's family watched all this in amazement.
somebody is coming.
"Mu Chaobi was defeated and killed, and all of Yang Qi's men were wiped out. Mu Shaoning...they sent out their own troops, but were intercepted by Chang Wei Bo."
The man's body shook, "Mu Shaoning deserves death!"
"Mu Shaoning pleaded guilty." The visitor lowered his head and choked up, saying, "He said that the Mu family had evil intentions."
The man stumbled back until he hit the wall, then he collapsed and sat down. He said dully, "The Mu family... is finished!"
Mu Shu thought of Jiang Qingzhi asking him to introduce the elders of the Mu family to him. Now he thought that this was to paralyze or even tempt the Mu family to take action.
Am I also a pawn in his plan?
"Hello, uncle!"
"Uncle, my master is inside."
Mu Shu looked up and saw Jiang Qingzhi striding in.
After seeing Mu Shu, Jiang Qingzhi stopped and asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"
Mu Shu didn't know why, but she suddenly felt sad. She choked up and asked, "Why is Uncle here?"
Jiang Qingzhi said, "I heard that someone has detained your family, so I came to take a look."
"Uncle, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." The man came over and wanted to beg for mercy, but was kicked away by Sun Chonglou.
The fellow grinned at Mu Shu, "The young master never treats his own people unfairly."
At dawn, the people in the city, who had been frightened all night, finally dared to open their doors.
There are more cavalrymen outside. They seem to be wandering around lazily, but the long swords on their waists and even the bloodstains on their armor are reminders.
The fight last night was the real deal.
"It is said that the governor rebelled and was suppressed by Chang Wei Bo." A woman was the first to get the news.
"That bastard Mu Chaobi finally got what he deserved. Haha!" someone laughed.
"But what about Yunnan?" someone asked, "Who will decide from now on?"
"Of course it's the court."
"But Emperor Taizu Gao himself promised the Mu family to rule Yunnan forever!"
"But didn't Emperor Taizu Gao go there?"
Yang Shen was not far away, with his hands behind his back, watching a group of people arguing.
"The people only know who can bring them benefits and peace, and they will accept his rule. Do you think Sheng Yougong is ignorant?" Xu Wei asked.
"Who isn't like this?" Yang Shen hadn't slept all night, but he was still in good spirits. "I saw last night how skilled your boss is. His plans are far-reaching, and one thing leads to another... He is still young and in his prime. In the long years ahead, where will his talent be used?"
Xu Wei smiled and said, "My uncle once said that the Ming Dynasty is the setting sun of the empire."
Yang Shen nodded, "Yes."
"Master wants to pull the setting sun..." Xu Wei pointed to the west and made a pulling motion, "to the east."
"The sunrise?"
"Correct."
The two faced the east and bathed in the morning sun.
"But this road is destined to be difficult, and there are many obstacles."
"My uncle said, if gods stand in the way, kill gods; if Buddha stands in the way... kill Buddha!"
