1220. Inspiring People

"Smooth tongue, sweet words, haha, it's a pity that they are all sophistry, Mu Mu, you can say a thousand things, but if everyone is like you, then where is the majesty of His Majesty's WeChat account?"

Fan Min, the right center prime minister, asked unceremoniously.

The emperor also looked at Li Mu.

Obviously, this is what bothers him.

Li Mu smiled.

Fan Min said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"

Li Mu said calmly: "What if everyone is like me? I would like to ask Mr. Fan, besides me, who else dares to do such a thing? Do you dare?"

Fan Min said angrily: "I only follow His Majesty's lead, work hard and obey the holy will. How can I follow the behavior of a person like you who has no king and no father?"

Li Mu said: "Since even your high-ranking Lord Fan does not dare to imitate me, then I would like to ask, how many people in this Huangjiya Divine Dynasty have the status of Lord Fan? Who else dares to be like me? generally?"

"You...this...you are making excuses."

Fan Min scolded angrily.

He vaguely felt that he had fallen into Li Mu's trap.

Li Mu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Instead, he saluted the emperor and stated the words he had already thought about impassionedly.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, so I will not hesitate to kill Zhou Kefu."

"Your Majesty, you may not know that Zhou Kefu was deeply favored by the Emperor, but he did not take His Majesty's interests and will into consideration. He only knew how to cultivate loyal followers in the army, suppress dissidents, and when faced with the opportunity of victory, he immediately thought of It’s not about taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results, but about fighting for power and profit, and trying to kill the minister as an excuse..."

"Over the past few years, these so-called old generals have been entrenched in the army, forming cliques for personal gain. They only have the interests of themselves and their families in mind, not the interests of the dynasty. They are really abominable. For the sake of Your Majesty, I have no choice but to get rid of them. Only by clearing the Tingsao point can we ensure that the army is truly in His Majesty's hands."

"The fighter plane at that time was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could never be lost. In order to gain advantage, I had no choice but to falsely pass on the imperial edict and drive the Western Expeditionary Army forward. This was also a last resort."

"Fortunately it worked out."

"Your Majesty, now all the enemies who invaded our country have been wiped out, and all the lost territory has been restored. The Western Expeditionary Army has entered the Dongxuan Immortal Gate and captured several cities. This is the first battle between our Dynasty and the Dongxuan Immortal Gate for five hundred years. The greatest victory in history, with this result, whether your Majesty wants to increase the number of troops to expand the results, or to securely defend the city, he has enough bargaining chips, and my goal has been achieved..."

"My hard work has not been in vain."

After saying a lot of words in one breath, Li Mu finally calmed down.

He added: "Now, I can guarantee that the entire Western Expeditionary Army is under your Majesty's control. Your Majesty will issue a decree and all will be obeyed... I have received your Majesty's great kindness, and I dare not forget it for a moment. If your Majesty is angry, I am willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty."

After saying that, Li Mu bowed and said nothing more.

The emperor's eyes sparkled.

Of course he is aware of the long-standing shortcomings of Huangji Cliff over the years.

Zhou Kefu and other giants in the army were also an imminent threat to the imperial power, but he had no choice but to use these people, otherwise, he would have no generals or soldiers to fight.

Originally, in his plan, after solving the problem of the Western Expedition, he had to free up his hands and use the power of the Donghuang Divine Dynasty to gradually disintegrate and deal with Zhou Kefu and others.

I just didn't expect Mu Mu to act so forcefully.

To a certain extent, what Mu Mu did was what he wanted to do.

What the emperor was really most worried about before was not Zhou Kefu's death, but the strength and unruliness shown by Li Mu throughout the whole process.

There is a danger of being out of control.

The emperor was worried that this danger would come back to him.

Because the more capable and powerful the uncontrolled person is, the more dangerous he is.

But now, after Li Mu's impassioned statement, the doubts and worries in the emperor's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Looking back again, Li Mu has been loyal and sincere in everything since he surrendered to him. Although he always expressed loyalty like other ministers, in terms of actions, he has always been firmly on his side.

Perhaps such people are the ones who are truly loyal to themselves?

The doubts in my heart gradually dissipated.

The emperor's eyes softened.

Xiao Xiao saw something bad and quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, this Mu Mu is definitely not as simple as he said on the surface. He definitely harbors evil intentions. Despite what he said beautifully, in fact, he is retreating in order to advance. Just to escape His Majesty's punishment..."

Li Mu sighed.

He looked desolate and disappointed, as if he had been betrayed by the person he trusted the most, and said in despair: "I always thought that Mr. Xiao was the most loyal and loyal person around His Majesty, and would definitely consider His Majesty's interests in everything. , I will never associate with those who are loyal on the surface but actually only seek their own benefit. Therefore, Mr. Xiao will definitely understand my Mu Mu’s painstaking efforts. I didn’t expect... Well, since even Mr. Xiao is like this If you think so, then...then I, Mu Mu, really have nothing to say."

Before Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mu. When he heard Li Mu's words again, he suddenly felt something in his heart and realized that something was very wrong.

This Mu Mu, with his eloquent tongue and his ability to confuse people, is really terrifying.

Sure enough, the emperor's eyes changed when he looked at Xiao Xiao.

In the past few days, Xiao Xiao's impression in the emperor's heart had been greatly reduced due to the unfavorable reception of the mission. The relationship between the two was not as bad as when they were poor together.

At this time, being secretly provoked by Li Mu, the emperor became more and more suspicious of Xiao Xiao.

"Commander Mu, I have never said any slanderous words about you."

The emperor looked at Xiao Xiao and said calmly.

Xiao Xiao's heart sank, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am just discussing the matter, I am not..."

Li Mu interrupted him again and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that ministers in the court and those who commit serious crimes will be thrown under the Howling Cliff of the Gods and suffer the torture of the Suffering Immortal Gang. They will wail day and night. I know that I am guilty. Therefore, I am willing to relinquish my military duties and invite myself to suffer at the Howling Cliff to atone for my sins."

What?

When other people in the hall heard this, their hearts suddenly cheered up.

In particular, Fan Min and Ke Yilun, two representatives of the old school of ministers who had long regarded Li Mu as a thorn in their side, thought they had heard wrongly.

This Li Mu actually performed so well?

Even the emperor frowned and said, "Mu Qing, there is no need to say such negative words. No matter what, you are a meritorious minister. How could I throw you under the Howling Cliff?"

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, your lords are right. I should be punished no matter what the reason is when I overstep my bounds. If Your Majesty doesn't deal with me, how can you convince the public?"

ha?

What the hell?

Xiao Xiao, Fan Min and Ke Yilun all wanted to curse when they heard this.

Isn't this just saying what we said again?

Why didn't you take the initiative to plead guilty before?

Are you playing this again now?

You alone have said all the good and bad things.

Are you treating us like monkeys here?

But the way the emperor looked at Li Mu was different.

This Mu Mu is really thinking about me when he talks about this.

Li Mu added: "Actually, the current situation in the Divine Dynasty is serious. In addition to giving an explanation to the ministers in the court, Your Majesty also needs to give an explanation to the two Immortal Branches of Yuechuan Mansion and Caochuan Mansion, as well as other forces. After all, this minister Once, they sent their army to the west and massacred many people from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and broke many rules. If Your Majesty does not punish me, they will never give up. They will find reasons and excuses to help the Dongxuan Immortal Sect to deal with me, Huangjiya. , before they open their mouths, Your Majesty needs to severely punish the ministers and silence everyone in order to completely preserve the results of the Western Expedition."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu said resolutely: "I'm not just showing off here, I really want to do this. Even if Your Majesty is reluctant to punish me, I will go to the Howling Cliff to share your worries... Your Majesty, take care, I'll go on my own." ."

After speaking, Li Mu took off his armor and token, turned around and left.

The emperor saw it and said quickly: "Mu Qing, stay..."

Li Mu said without turning his head: "Your Majesty, I will reflect on my mistakes under the Howling Cliff. Your Majesty does not need to worry about me. As long as your Majesty is useful to you, I will definitely appear again and do your best for you."

The words fell.

Li Mu's figure has disappeared.

After a while.

A half-step golden immortal guarding the Howling Cliff came to report in person in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, for some reason, Commander Mu came to the cliff. He took off his armor and dressed in cloth. He said he wanted to atone for his sins. I couldn't stop him. He had already entered the Howling Cliff himself."

This half-step Jinxian didn't know the reason, and when he reported it, he still looked surprised.

The emperor looked excited,

By this time, he already trusted Li Mu to the extreme.

He was determined to forcefully release Li Mu from the Howling Cliff. After all, under that cliff, the immortal wind was like a bone scraper. It could blow through any immortal defense and corrode the immortal body. The pain in it, the torment day and night, was indescribable.

Even if a golden immortal enters it, his body will dissipate and his cultivation level will drop over time.

But then I thought, if this is really the case, wouldn’t Mu Mu’s hard work be in vain, wouldn’t I have failed him?

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, the emperor turned to look at Xiao Xiao and others.

An uncontrollable look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"snort."

The emperor flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe and turned away.

Xiao Xiao and the other three ministers looked embarrassed and wanted to defend themselves, but they couldn't say a word.

They were extremely well prepared for today's confrontation.

I thought I could defeat Li Mu completely.

Who would have thought that Mu Mu would resolve the matter with just a few words, not only exonerating himself, but also alienating the relationship between the emperor and them.

Killing is heartbreaking.

"You two, this Mu Mu has a sinister mind. If he is not eliminated, he will become a serious problem for us."

"Yes, manipulating people's hearts is simply terrifying. If His Majesty is deceived by him, we will have no place to stand in the future. After all, Mu Mu has been severely offended today."

"Master Fan, Master Ke, how about we have a chat with you at your home after I'm on duty?"

The three of them discussed it and finally left together.

…

Howling Cliff.

Immortal miasma permeates the air, and the strong wind hunts.

The black immortal wind visible to the naked eye rotates in the void and strikes continuously.

Li Mu was floating in the black wind, protected by the Immortal Realm around his body, like a dark gold shield, isolating the wind.

"It is indeed the legendary [Black Sky Disaster Wind]."

He observed carefully and already had a conclusion in his mind.

The people of Huangji Cliff are rare and strange, and have little knowledge. They have always called this black wind the Immortal Gang Wind. In fact, according to the travel notes of the Canghai Sect and Fang Huamei, this black wind that can corrode golden immortals, The real name is [Black Sky Disaster Wind], which is one of the five major disaster winds in the immortal world.

The meaning of this [Black Sky Disaster Wind] is not simple.
