Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

How should I put it? Meng Zhao's request was both expected and unexpected by Xie Wanzhi.

Xie Wanzhi had already been mentally prepared to deal with the murderer. After all, this was the purpose, or one of the purposes, of Meng Zhao inviting him to Lingwu City.

However, it was unexpected and obvious. This would naturally be a great benefit to his reputation. He had a new look on his face, and his aura was heavier, but there were not many restrictions. After all, he never knew how to do it. Set a trap for yourself, tie your own hands and feet, and outsiders cannot affect him.

However, Meng Zhao has no reason to do this. Ah, he has done a good deed, left his name, and handed it over to him. So what does Meng Zhao want?

"King Menglong, please state clearly what you want to do!"

Xie Wanzhi was really a little scared. He always felt that something was wrong here, that there was some big trap. Meng Zhao was here specifically to trap him.

Of course, what he doubted the most was the identity of the murderer. Could it be that he was someone from the Lord of the Demon Palace that day? If he killed the murderer himself, it would be equivalent to taking the blame for Meng Zhao?

Meng Zhao's originally solemn and cold face was filled with a bright smile again.

"Haha, Grandmaster Xie is really smart, and I won't hide it from you. This murderer who committed numerous murders was one of our former generals, Yu Changkong, and a close confidant of the current Emperor Beitang Sheng. Yu Huashen, the current commander-in-chief of the imperial palace, is this man’s son.”

"What, how is that possible?"

Xie Wanzhi was so shocked that he almost jumped up. It wasn't because he was so out of control, but because the news Meng Zhao brought to him was so shocking that it almost made his head smoke. How could he calm down?

He had also heard that Yu Changkong was not only a confidant of the current emperor, but also a confidant of the previous emperor. He was considered a veteran of two dynasties.

However, he didn't even understand what was wrong with Yu Changkong, why he had fallen from a dignified and high-ranking official in the imperial court to such a murderer who had committed numerous murders, even leading to death.

Also, since Yu Changkong's identity is so special, why not capture him but kill him?

"Why is it impossible? Beitang Xing, the twelfth prince of the current emperor, died in our northern land. His son Beitang Sheng can die, but a mere henchman cannot die?"

Xie Wanzhi had calmed down at this time and realized that Meng Zhao had definitely failed to hold it in, and that his intentions were sinister. He lacked respect for the court and the emperor, and was quite rebellious.

"That's not the case. What I mean is that Yu Changkong is a dignified former general. He is considered a high-ranking official in the imperial court and has a good salary. He should also be a grand master in martial arts. There is no reason to do such a thing that has no benefit except damaging his reputation. !”

"Of course it's not what he wants. Don't forget the existence of the Demon Palace Master.

In fact, Yu Changkong came to the Northland this time to deal with the Lord of the Demon Palace with another royal master. Unfortunately, he missed a move. Instead of completing the task, he was defeated and returned. In the end, he was even beaten by the Lord of the Demon Palace. The magic power takes control of the mind and becomes a puppet. "

Xie Wanzhi suddenly realized that although what Meng Zhao said was very broad, general and vague, the general meaning was still expressed clearly.

However, precisely because of this, he felt that this was a big pit. Meng Zhao himself was not willing to take over, so how could he be willing?

"Then, there is actually no need to kill the other party. After all, he did those crimes for a reason and not out of his own will.

Why doesn't King Menglong capture him and then release the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace from controlling him, so as to claim credit from the imperial court?"

This is a very common idea. When you see the benefits, you will get into it. He doesn't believe it. How can they not express such a big favor as helping the court, helping Beitang Sheng, or even helping Yu Changkong?

Of course Meng Zhao also knew this truth. However, the so-called reward was of no use to him.

What's more, he doesn't need this kind of reward at all. After all, he will break up sooner or later, so why maintain the illusion of hypocrisy?

Furthermore, even if the imperial court and Beitang Sheng rewarded him, they would still be wary of him in the future and even start to deal with him to weaken his power.

He knew that in such a future, he must act first to weaken the power of the imperial court and Beitang Sheng, instead of waiting and licking him.

"Do you think that with my current identity, status, power, and military strength, the court will trust me and allow me to continue to grow?

Impossible, not to mention that I saved a mere Yu Changkong. Even if I rescued the twelfth prince Beitang Xing, he would still be suspected, weakened, or even exterminated in the future.

It's not because I'm rebellious, but because I'm such a threat, I must be eliminated. You are from the ninth surname, you should understand this truth. "

Xie Wanzhi was not as flustered as before, because Meng Zhao discussed these matters with him so frankly, which actually gave him a sense of intimacy.

Damn it, I was obviously dissatisfied with Meng Zhao in this way and that way before. How come in just a few words, it feels like the two of them have become people in the same boat, and their intimacy has greatly increased?

But I have to say that he still agreed with Meng Zhao's words.

Since ancient times, there have actually been many similar examples. Even if you look loyal, capable, and important to the country, if you have the strength to threaten the upper class, you will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side and be severely punished. Packed up.

Otherwise, there would be no word such as "great achievements overshadowing the master".

Meng Zhao is not superior to his master in merit, but in strength. If he becomes the supreme god and devil in the future, and has a million troops to integrate the forces in the north, it will be a doomsday disaster for the Beitang royal family and the Great Yong Dynasty.

In fact, even if he does not have such power, but only has such potential and prospects, Meng Zhao will still be regarded as the main target of surveillance, supervision, and attack.

Beitang Sheng is not blind or stupid. He has already started to deal with Meng Zhao and the Meng family.

The result is naturally unsatisfactory. It facilitated the marriage between the Meng family and the Seven Stars Tower, and indirectly made Meng Zhao go to Yanzhou and get many fortunes. It is an important turning point in life, and a turning point in a good direction!

However, with such behavior and such consciousness, Beitang Sheng is destined not to give up easily.

Beitang Shengshi Emperor, the Supreme, cannot bow his head. Meng Zhao is also a young hero, with unparalleled martial arts, the seed of the Supreme, and his knees are not soft. Obviously, he can't kneel down.

Naturally, this contradiction is difficult to reconcile.

Xie Wanzhi thought about it and understood what Meng Zhao meant.

Regardless of whether Yu Changkong is retired or not, he is still a close confidant of Beitang Sheng. He is especially skilled in martial arts and has become a grandmaster of martial arts. He must be one of the best in the Beitang royal family.

If he dies in the north, it will definitely be a huge blow to Beitang Sheng and the Beitang royal family.
