Chapter 395 The Winner Is the King and the Loser Is the Enemy

Mu Cang looked at him sternly without saying a word.

King Xiao was also looking at the Jin Kingdom's eldest princess who had been well-known recently. He had heard of her fame since Mu Kingdom.

However, because of the presence of the priest's palace, he always got news a few steps slower than those people. Feng Mingqi and Rong Xiao arrived in Mu Kingdom to support her, and blatantly brought the black riders of the Southern Kingdom.

When King Xiao got the news, he was about to send people to Mu Kingdom to find out, but heard that King Yu had gone to Jin Kingdom.

There must be a reason for King Yu to go to Jin Kingdom. King Xiao sent a large number of people to investigate the situation, but at that time, many intelligence was either intercepted or confused by sleight of hand, so that when he knew that the Jin Kingdom's eldest princess was most likely the reincarnation of the Southern Kingdom's empress, the situation was no longer under his control.

He had asked himself more than once, whether he should stick to his ambition?

With the protection of the Priest Hall, the Phoenix King, the Feather King, and even the Ninth Prince of the Mu Kingdom, the God of War, many masters have been arranged around the Princess of Jin, and she is protected like an iron barrel.

How easy is it to get rid of her?

King Xiao anticipated many possibilities, and later he felt that he didn't have to get rid of her.

If she could stay in Jin and never come back, with the power he had planned for those years, it should be no problem for her to take control of the Southern Kingdom sooner or later.

But the facts proved that she was indeed a person protected by God, and she could be reborn after dying once.

How could ordinary people have such a bizarre and absurd opportunity?

Not only was she reborn, but she also repeatedly destroyed his plans, and she could uproot the chess pieces he arranged by taking the opportunity to investigate the case of Jin.

It is impossible to say that he has no hatred in his heart.

Even standing here now, King Xiao wanted Yan Li to disappear from the world immediately, and wanted to...

"It's really unexpected that King Xiao came." Yan Li's eyes were cold, and his voice was even more indifferent and distant, "Shi'an River is indeed a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"Your Majesty... Your Highness the Princess." King Xiao came back to his senses, bowed and saluted, with a humble and thoughtful attitude, "I want to talk to you."

Yan Li sneered coldly: "What do you want to talk about?"

King Xiao lowered his eyes and said in a light voice: "The content of the conversation is guaranteed to satisfy the Princess."

A hint of sarcasm passed across Yan Li's mouth: "Your Majesty, you have come here for three days and two nights, so King Xiao must have something to ask for."

"What I want has nothing to do with the Princess." King Xiao said truthfully, "But I have something I want to give to the Princess in person."

Yan Li looked at him steadily, and after a moment, he slowly nodded.

Turning into the yard, Yan Li went straight to the front hall.

This time Mu Cang did not leave.

The three of them quickly entered the hall and sat down. The maid who served tea added tea to the three of them and then left.

"I didn't expect that even the most secret underground passage could be obtained by others." When King Xiao said this, his eyes fell on Mu Cang's face, his eyes dimmed, "The God of War of Mu Kingdom, the Ninth Prince, is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Mu Cang obviously didn't like him, and his attitude was not polite: "Because you are too stupid."

King Xiao's expression turned cold, and then he smiled as if nothing had happened: "It shouldn't be that I am too stupid, but that the Ninth Prince has another identity."

Mu Cang's voice was lonely and cold: "So what?"

King Xiao gritted his teeth: "You know everything about what happened in the South Country, and you can use the power of the South Country freely , it is hard for me not to suspect you are a spy. "

"If you came here today just to verify your suspicion, you can get out now." Mu Cang was as cold as frost, "I am not interested in answering any of your questions."

King Xiao's eyes were dark: "Don't you think your victory is unfair, Lord Jiu?"

"It sounds like you are not willing to accept it." Mu Cang held a teacup in his hand, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "It's a pity that I have never had the intention to compete with you. You are just a traitor, you are not qualified to compete with me."

King Xiao's expression froze, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Yan Li drank a sip of tea quietly, without stopping the dispute between the two.

She did hear some unwillingness from King Xiao's words.

"Whether it was an unfair victory or not, it cannot change the fact that the crime King Xiao committed was treason." Yan Li looked up at him, with a look of oppression that people in high positions often have. "A person who should have been tortured to death is here talking about an unfair victory. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

King Xiao held the teacup tightly and calmly stated the facts: "Everyone wants to fight for the power above ten thousand people."

"No one will stop you from fighting." Yan Li said calmly, "As long as you can face the failure calmly and don't blame others, it will be fine."

The end of a failed treason is death, and there is no room for quibbling.

Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Even if it is a rebellion, as long as you can succeed, you can still become a superior person - even if you will be more or less infamous for usurping the throne in later history books, the power of life and death for decades is indeed in your hands.

At the same time, everyone in the world knows that a failed treason will definitely lead to death.

Not only will he die, but hundreds of people will also be implicated to die with him.

The first person to bear the brunt of King Xiao's actions was Shen Yanshu.

Yan Li could not forgive him for what he had done.

"I can indeed accept this consequence." King Xiao was silent for a moment, and said indifferently, "But-"

"Where is the 'but'?" Yan Li interrupted him, with a cold and stern expression, "Xuanyuan Heng, do you think you are qualified to say but to me?"

King Xiao's expression froze, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Since you took the initiative to find me here today, it proves that you already knew my identity." Yan Li's eyes were cold, and his eyebrows were full of pressure. "If I didn't appear in this identity, do you think you could still sit here and talk to me?"

King Xiao's expression changed. He was exhausted after three days and two nights of traveling. He was blown by the wind on the mountain last night. Now he was completely forcing himself to deal with it, but he didn't expect Yan Li to not even have the mind to deal with him.

Even though his appearance changed, his momentum when he came straight to the point and asked the crime was even stronger than before.

King Xiao was silent for a long time, and his five fingers holding the teacup tightened little by little. In the end, he just said: "I can give you all the evidence of the crime, and I will let you deal with it myself, but for the sake of you and Shen Yanshu, I hope you can let him go."

Yan Li sneered: "Are you begging for him?"

King Xiao's face flashed with annoyance, and his hand holding the teacup tightened and loosened. After a while, he finally slowly put down the teacup.

He stood up, lifted his robe, bowed his head and knelt on the ground: "I am the ambitious one, I am the traitor, and I am the one who abused him in various ways over the years. Shen Yanshu had no choice and should not be implicated by a guilty minister like me."

Paused, "Besides, he is a descendant of a general. When my father was in power, he always appreciated the loyal ministers of the Shen family. I hope Your Majesty will show him leniency."

After speaking, he took out two lists and two account books from his arms: "This is the list of all the noble families and officials I have collected, as well as all the industries under my name, horse farms, shops, granaries, and shares of merchants in various places. I will give them all to you today, hoping to save Shen Yanshu's life."
