Chapter 1103 Yu Yuanba's "True Face"
Yu Yuanba did not give a definite reason.
He just kept saying that he believed in his third sister, and his helpless look made Yu Huanglian unable to find an opportunity to question him further.
This leads to a guess as to the matter, but that's where it ends.
Later, at the suggestion of Yue Taigong, the Water Army went to the front line to provide support, cooperating with the Mountain and Fire Armies to fight against the Great Xuan Dynasty with the strength of three major armies.
Among the remaining five major armies, the Thunder Army is still killing rats in the south, the Wind Army needs to be wary of the unusual movements of the northern barbarians, the Lin Army and the Sky Army are avoiding emergencies, and the strongest Mighty Army is still stationed in Wuwei City under the leadership of Yue Taigong.
Therefore, his proposal did not arouse any objection from anyone, except Yu Gucheng who looked at the other party thoughtfully.
After that, the meeting ended somewhat anticlimactically, and everything would have to wait until Yu Haitang returned home to be finalized.
At the same time, everyone attending the meeting returned to their residences one by one.
At midnight.
After returning to his residence, he dismissed Yu Yuanba who said he wanted to rest.
After confirming many times that no one was secretly monitoring him, demonic energy surged out of his body and he performed the exquisite water mirror technique.
Then, on the other side of the mirror, a handsome man appeared, with a firm and mature look between his brows.
After seeing Yu Yuanba's appearance, the other party raised a smile and said:
"Great Elder, it seems that you have found a suitable host. This first step to enter Jiuzhou should be considered a success."
Long Ming thought he would get a reliable answer as always, but he saw his uncle let out a heavy sigh instead.
Yu Yuanba, or should I say Mo Yi, said with a tired look on his face.
"The first step was successful, but the identity I chose is a big problem."
"Big trouble?" Long Ming was puzzled. "How could it be? As the fourth adopted son of King Wuwei, he is also a hard-line representative with the support of some military forces. This should be a good opportunity for you, the Great Elder, to exert your power freely. Or is it that the degree of compatibility of this host body is not high?"
Mo Yi sighed again, and then replied:
"The match is very high, and the timing of the Soul Binding Technique is perfect. I also used it to read nearly 90% of his memory, but the problem is that the internal relations of this Wuwei Palace are more complicated than I thought.
And I had a vague feeling that I had accidentally stepped into a chessboard set up by another person."
Mo Yi then explained the circumstances of the meeting in detail, including the poisoning of Yu Yuanba.
This was not something he made up at the meeting; everything really happened. However, after the magic fog erupted, Yu Yuanba was directly poisoned to death, which gave him the opportunity to use the Soul Binding Technique to successfully replace him.
This was also the reason why he was eager to return to the palace, because someone really wanted to kill him, or the other party had indeed achieved his wish and killed Yu Yuanba.
Originally, following this inducement, Mo Yi wanted to clear the doubts about himself arising from his return, and try to find out the real culprit, so as to further strengthen his voice in the Wuwei Palace.
But after the meeting, he found that the water was too deep!
First of all, the fifth adopted son Ying Wuque's proactive speech was very problematic. Combining Yu Yuanba's memory and some intelligence obtained by the Yaksha tribe, the other party should not be so conspicuous in this meeting, even with the support of Xuanwu Tower.
Then there was his second adopted son, Yu Gucheng. When their eyes met at that moment, he vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have noticed that he had replaced this identity. After that, Yu Gucheng frequently paid attention to him, which made him even more nervous.
Then there was his third adopted son, Yu Haitang, who did not appear on the stage. Just the fact that he had close ties with the Ghost Market made him nervous.
Next came the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion, whose behavior was completely different from what Yu Yuanba remembered.
The other party directed their spearhead at Yu Haitang and had also tried to win over Xuanwu Tower in advance. However, after careful consideration, it was found that the topic that allowed this A to find the loophole was actually brought up by Ying Wuque, who was also affected by it.
Even though the final vote of 3 to 0 seemed to have ended in inconclusiveness, it was obvious that the matter would not end so easily.
In addition, there were three people who remained silent throughout the entire audience.
Gongzi Yu, who stood on Yu Haitang's side, did not say a word on his own initiative, but he did not follow Jia's words to continue to add insult to injury. He behaved like a bystander throughout the whole process, which was a bit abnormal.
After all, Qinglong Pavilion was able to join the Wuwei Palace through Yu Haitang. With its current identity and stance, it has no right to choose silence. So why didn't the other party say a word?
Then there is the patriarch of the Shanqing Huang family, Huang Shang. He has the right to say nothing, but the news that his brother, Huang Yaoshi, went to the Fang family with Yu Haitang to watch the ceremony and was preparing to return to Beixuanzhou Prefecture has spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Whether you want to distance yourself from the matter or express your attitude at this time, you should at least say something. Even if you want to single out Huang Yaoshi to avoid him from being involved in this big trouble that may affect the Huang family, you should also say a few words.
The result is silence.
It seems like he has tacitly taken sides, but also like it has nothing to do with him.
The last one was Yue Taigong, the number one man in the military and the most loyal minister who was most qualified to support an adopted son to ascend the throne. He watched the internal strife among the adopted sons that had already broken out without saying a word, and only afterwards provided a temporary solution to the defeat on the front line.
What are these people thinking?
Mo Yi is really having a headache now, perhaps because of insufficient intelligence. He truly feels that compared to the conspiracy to steal the country in the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, this place is full of traps.
That is why he did not act according to Yu Yuanba's character to the end.
Because he really felt that if he voted to arrest Yu Haitang, things would become more serious, and as the only adopted son who supported the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion, he would most likely be trapped.
This was different from what was originally planned.
It was after he discovered that the situation in the Wuwei Palace was too complicated that he gave up his original idea of gradually increasing his voice to see if he could complete his plan to steal the country again.
The identity of the fourth adopted son of the Wuwei Palace did bring him great convenience, and he seemed to be extremely close to the position of the leader of the power. However, after receiving nearly 90% of Yu Yuanba's memory, Mo Yi was very clear about how weak the foundation of this reckless man was.
He can be a general, but he will never become a monarch.
"Hey"
With another sigh from Mo Yi, Long Ming on the other side of the mirror also sorted out his thoughts.
He suddenly asked Mo Yi:
"Great Elder, do you think the person who poisoned Yu Haitang is really Yu Haitang?"
"No." Mo Yi answered decisively, "The other party has already cooperated with the Ghost Market, so why would they resort to such despicable means? Moreover, their high-profile behavior is problematic in the first place, especially after knowing that Yu Yuanba was not poisoned to death.
So now I think that the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion wants to use this opportunity to abolish the chances of all adopted sons to inherit the throne in one fell swoop.
He should have set his sights on this position, or he may just be a pawn that has been pushed out. If we consider this, the person who can instigate him to stand out and have the opportunity to become the next King of Wuwei is most likely Yue Taigong. "
"Abolish all the adopted sons." Long Ming sat on the throne, resting his chin with one hand and thinking, "Yu Gucheng is obviously not interested in this. He has a broader world and is unwilling to serve as the King of Wuwei.
And Ying Wuque was pointed out in public by the Jellyfish Yin Ji that he was not qualified to inherit the throne.
The eldest adopted son, Yu Canglan, died inexplicably in the mansion half a month ago.
The only ones left with a chance are Yu Haitang and you."
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that you want me to cooperate with the person who is doing this secretly, let Yu Haitang fight with him until both of them are defeated, and then I will reap the benefits?" Mo Yi asked after thinking about it.
Long Ming shook his head.
"Now we are not even sure whether the person standing behind the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion is Yue Taigong. Perhaps it is a top force in Shanhai Realm, or the Northern Barbarians. And Yu Haitang, she has shown a close relationship with the Ghost Market at this time.
No, being invited to watch the ceremony at Fang's house was not just a one-sided performance on his part, but also required the cooperation of the Ghost Market, so the situation here had to be sorted out clearly as well.
If it's just a fight between the two parties, then we can be the ones who benefit.
But if two giant beasts are biting each other, do you think a small sheep has the right to tear a piece of meat from the wounded beast?
Besides, what if this game is a giant beast and an old dog?
The dog will die, and so will we."
After saying this, Long Ming sighed deeply.
Originally, in the previous discussion with Mo Yi, the two confirmed that the Wuwei Palace was the most suitable force for them to use the soul-binding technique to penetrate into Jiuzhou, but they ended up being involved in a dangerous internal struggle.
"If what the king speculated is true, the meeting just now should be a screening." Mo Yi said seriously after pondering for a moment.
"Screening?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well, confirm which side is the enemy and which side is the friend."
"What about those who remain neutral?"
"Neutrality does not exist." Mo Yi suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back. At this moment, he understood why Gongzi Yu, who should have expressed his position, remained silent.
"While one side is screening, the other side can also actively choose the target to win over after observation. The so-called neutrality cannot stand in the end. But who can be sure that the target to be won over is a true ally and not a spy sent by one side?"
Long Ming shook his head slightly.
"Your considerations will also be taken into account by both parties."
"No, in fact, only one party can continue to maintain this calm mentality." Mo Yi took a deep breath, and the goose bumps on his arms had not yet subsided. "Just like what the king said just now, if an old dog faces a giant beast, it takes a lot of courage to not lose control of its bladder in front of it.
How can it remain calm? After all, just not losing control of the body is the best it can do."
Long Ming chuckled and said:
"Great Elder, the analogy I just used is absolutely not the truth."
"But after I thought about it carefully, I found that it might be the truth." Mo Yi said seriously.
"Oh?" There was a hint of strong interest in Long Ming's eyes.
"Because the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion shouldn't have come out and pointed his target directly at Yu Haitang. The topic was initially raised by Ying Wuque, and the various speculations he made obviously ruined the other party's original plan.
After all, everything has been brought to the table, and it would be impossible to replicate it exactly.
The Acting Pavilion Master's quick wit, who thought he had found a loophole, actually exposed himself, which was completely different from his almost invisible image in the past.
His mentality is already in chaos.
Every step was hasty, especially the news that Yu Haitang was going to return to the palace, plus the public opinion storm that had been prepared long ago, which pushed him to rush forward without being able to think calmly.
Now I can be basically sure that this Acting Pavilion Master is not a pawn arranged by Yue Taigong or some top force.
He is who he is.
That was why he showed his reckless and stupid side in this meeting, which also exposed the truth that Xuanwu Tower had turned against him at an inappropriate time.
There is just one thing that puzzles me. How can he be sure that he can take the position after destroying other adopted sons?
The only person who has the qualifications and prestige in Wuwei Palace is Yue Taigong. Even if he supports it, this acting Pavilion Master who dares not even show his true face is not qualified."
"Great Elder, it seems you have discovered the problem." After Long Ming chuckled, he also touched upon a key point at the same time as Mo Yi's thinking.
So who is the acting leader of Wuwang Pavilion?
"I can't figure it out. Insufficient information." Mo Yi quickly gave up thinking.
"But being able to identify a key figure on one side is also a pleasant surprise." Long Ming touched his chin, put away the smile on his face and said, "Now it's time for us to make a choice. Although you entered this game by mistake, your identity has long been arranged on the chessboard.
And it is very likely that for both sides, it is a dead end move that must be abandoned.”
"Do I have any choice? That key figure has already poisoned me. If I'm alive, it means I'm blocking his way. There's only Yu Gucheng. Yes, there's still one Yu Gucheng." Mo Yi had a headache when he said this.
Originally, he was confident in his soul-binding technique, thinking that no warriors below the Tianyan realm would be able to see any flaws. However, he was spotted at the first sight, and he kept staring at him afterwards. It was obvious that the other party did not hide the fact that he suspected there was something wrong with him.
However, thinking of Yu Gucheng's statements at every clever moment in the meeting, he suddenly felt that this problem could not be solved only by a head-on approach.
"I need to contact someone." Mo Yi said suddenly.
"Yu Haitang?"
"No, it's the Heavenly Demon King." Mo Yi said solemnly, "I need to confirm his support for Yu Haitang. After all, if I go directly to his sworn brother and sister in Yu Yuanba's name, I'm afraid I won't get a friendly response.
And the Yaksha tribe is here."
"It's time to make contact first." Long Ming sighed, "It's only been a few days since he left the Demon Realm, and the Demon Lord has brought Chi Huang to attack the Dragon Clan. Don't even think about developing peacefully from now on. Even without the Demon Lord, the seven royal families alone will just be a wave of meaningless internal friction.
We need to get out of the Demon Realm as soon as possible, otherwise we will be dragged down by these short-sighted guys sooner or later.
But in the end, I chose such a troublesome and unlucky Wuwei Palace. Alas."
After Long Ming sighed, the two of them also lifted the Water Mirror Technique, and Mo Yi himself, who was in the capital, took out the sound transmission token. When they met in the capital before, the two had exchanged contact information. The other party might have already calculated the arrival of this day.
buzz~
After three seconds, the token entered the connected state.
