Chapter 444 Return
Yuezhi King City.

Lao Wang Yueshi was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his strength was vain, and even after he spoke a few words, he would be out of breath.

"Cuppy House!"

A soft sound resounded in the silent palace, the intensity was very weak, just like a weak light, which made people worry that it would be extinguished in ten minutes.Outside the palace, the most trusted courtier of Old King Yueshi walked in quickly.

Qiubiju is stout and has a big beard.When he came to King Yueshi's bed, he was a little uneasy seeing his expression.

"Wang, your complexion is not good."

"My heart is very uneasy. It's just that I don't know where the threat comes from."

Qiu Biju remained silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"I heard Strand is dead?"

Qiu Biju looked a little dark and nodded.

"A very nice young man who passed away suddenly. I went to his funeral and his young wife looked very bad. Fortunately, Amber Xihou gave a lot of support."

Xi Hou Amber is a staunch supporter of the crown prince, and Stran was once a powerful subordinate of the crown prince. It is normal and justified for Amber to take care of Stran's widow.

But Old King Yueshi heard it, and the uneasiness in his heart expanded.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter. Jiamei is about to inherit the throne, but she has lost a loyal and capable minister. This is not a good omen!"

For King Yuezhi's worry, Qiu Biju just regarded it as an old man's emotional anxiety, and didn't take it to heart.

At this time, the maid outside the palace came to report that it was the little princess Alia who had come.Qiu Biju was surprised to find that Old Wang Yueshi, who was still uneasy just now, suddenly changed his appearance, and he didn't even know if it was an illusion, his face was a little rosier than before.

Aaliyah walked in, the young Princess Yueshi had long golden hair, she was young, but her eyes were very spiritual.It seems that as long as you stay by her side, all your troubles can be left behind.

"Grandpa Wang, have you recovered from your illness?"

Alia's small face was full of worry, but King Yuezhi smiled with a loud voice.

"Grandpa Wang is fine. After this winter, we can go horseback riding and hunting together."

"That's great!"

Perhaps infected by King Yuezhi's positive emotions, the boredom on Aaliyah's face disappeared, and a smile appeared.

King Yuezhi waved his hand, and Qiu Biju understood, took out an exquisite box from a tray of cabinets, and held it in front of Alia.

"open to take a look!"

Aaliyah opened the box, her eyes widened.

Inside the box was a golden crown inlaid with twelve huge gemstones.

"This is a gift from Grandpa Wang. It has important meaning. You should take it well."

Aaliyah turned her head, not moved by the golden crown, and even a little puzzled.

"Let Qiubiju take you to live in the hunting ground and palace in the east for a period of time. When spring arrives and Grandpa Wang's illness improves, he will meet you again. We will spend the summer there, go hunting, and come back when the horses are fat in autumn." .”

King Yuezhi was smiling, with a longing look on his face, looking forward to this scene that was destined to never come.

Barrett House.

In the huge room, many nobles of the Yue family gathered.

Barrett and Kulak stood in the middle of the room.In front of them stood Mo Kedu, today's protagonist.

"I announce today that Mo Kedu, who recognizes me as the most loyal and reliable, will become my adopted son. From now on, he will inherit the glory of my family and pass it on."

"To live up to expectations and to follow through."

Mo Kedu was very handsome, with a tall body half kneeling in front of Barrett, not much different from the standing Barrett.

After the ceremony was over, Barrett hurriedly pulled Mokdu into his study, feeling a little anxious.

"What did Amber and Gubic say?"

"The two Xihou both privately expressed that the Yue family needs to change at this time. The attitude of the king and the crown prince towards the strange but powerful country in the east is too optimistic, lost in the exquisite enjoyment brought by trade, and their Threats have been ignored."

Barrett squinted his eyes. Mo Kedu was able to persuade the two big Xihous to join his camp, which really surprised him.This is also the main reason why Barrett is willing to accept Mo Kedu as his adopted son, apart from Kullak's persuasion.

"You are not the palace recorder now, tell me the truth, if they agree to help me send troops, what will they ask for?"

"In addition to the hundreds of carts of goods from Mr. Hanyang, Gubic also wants the royal family's pastures and the eastern hunting grounds and palaces."

"That's no problem."

In fact, as long as he can control the Yuezhi Royal City, these costs are not unacceptable.

"What about Amber?"

Barrett was a little worried. Without Amber's help, he would not be able to succeed.But Amber is also the most unstable factor.

"He wants the jurisdiction of the five countries in the Western Regions and a palace under your jurisdiction, and asks you to promise to ensure the safety of Strand's widow, Yamina, and transfer the palace and the surrounding land to Yamina."

"It seems that our knowledgeable Daxihou is quite romantic!"

Barrett waved his hand with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Since that's the case, it's time to prepare to make a move."

"King Yueshi still controls the entire palace."

"Don't worry, there is information from my eyeliner in the palace that King Yuezhi won't last long. When everything is ready, he will lead his troops to besiege and kill Jiamei and all his descendants, and take control of the royal city."

Dong Dong Dong, a knock on the door rang.

Barrett's expression changed, but he saw Kullak push open the door and walk in.

"Guests are waiting, what are you doing here?"

"We're going back to the living room."

The complacent Barrett walked ahead, but he didn't notice at all that his adopted son Mokdu followed behind him, and when he approached Kullak, his hands quietly climbed onto her hips.And his wife, not only was not angry, but also had a coquettish look on her face, and she gave a wink.

In the woods outside Yuezhi City, the moonlight shines.

Mokdu's teacher Tudor, who weaves everything in the darkness, walks slowly into the forest.And in front of him, waiting was a man with a crown and an oriental face.

Tudor saluted with some respect.

"Thank you and your honorable master for your support to us. Things here are coming to an end, I wonder what your honorable master wants in return?"

"It is the greatest reward for your king to be able to control the Yue family."

As he spoke, the man in front of him took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve.

"This is the key that will allow your king to take the final step."

Tudor took it, his expression was not clear in the dark, but it was quite complicated.

"Your honorable master has paid so much for us, but he doesn't want anything?"

The man smiled and put his hands behind his back.

"If you really want to report it, there is a way. Let the news of the Yue Clan's rebellion reach Qin on the day my lord most expects."
