Yelü Anchen didn’t believe that.

He snorted. “Anyway, the colorful phenix was killed by the people of the Mo Country, and they can’t escape. What can they do even if he asks Mo Junyang?”

No matter how capable Mo Junyang was, could he call black white?

As for this point, the prince of the Liang Country still knew nothing about a politician’s level.

Lord Ying glanced at Yelü Anchen, not in the mood to explain more to him. He just pondered over it.

Theoretically, he didn’t think that the end would change dramatically with Mo Junyang involved.

But because of Mo Junyang, Lord Ying was not certain about his guess.

“When you saw Mo Junyang, what did he look like?” Lord Ying asked Wu Yalei cautiously and wanted to get more information so that he could make an accurate judgment.

But his question just made Wu Yalei want to cry.

Wu Yalei had to smile bitterly. “Lord Ying, you know what kind of person Mo Junyang is. He…”

No emotion could be seen from his frozen face.

Lord Ying also realized that his question was stupid, so he waved his hand and changed the subject. “Well, I will investigate this matter carefully. Don’t meddle.”

Wu Yalei had never planned to meddle, so he expressed his thanks secretly and nodded in agreement. “My Lord, thank you for handling it.”

“Hmm. Since you gave the emperor of the Mo Country three days to think it over, you just stay in the embassy these days and be well-behaved. Don’t cause complications.” After saying that in a hurry, Lord Ying directly turned around and left.

Yelü Anchen suddenly realized that Lord Ying didn’t promise him to deal with Mo Junyang.

“Stop!” He shouted at the outside in a rage, but Lord Ying had disappeared earlier.

Yelü Anchen smashed teacups again and wanted to smash the table, but Wu Yalei stopped him.

Wu Yalei tried hard to advise him, “Your Highness, don’t be mad. Lord Ying is really an awesome person. You will suffer losses if you act rashly before knowing well about him.”

Although Yelü Anchen stopped, he didn’t believe Wu Yalei’s words. “Why is he awesome? Isn’t he just a dog raised in the Mo Country by my brother?”

He said something to humiliate others without thinking.

Wu Yalei was so nervous that he hurriedly covered Yelü Anchen’s mouth regardless of anything and begged. “Master, you can’t say that. I tell you something, and then you will understand.”

Yelü Anchen paused for a while and then leered at Wu Yalei to ask silently, “What?”

Wu Yalei looked around subconsciously, as if he had to confirm that Lord Ying had gone away and nobody would eavesdrop.

“Say it now!” Yelü Anchen was interested in Wu Yalei’s words indeed, but he got impatient because of the latter’s neurotic attitude.

“Your Highness, think about it. We had an agreement of three days with the emperor of the Mo Country less than two hours ago.” Wu Yalei pointed it out meaningfully.

Yelü Anchen thought about Wu Yalei’s words but couldn’t find anything unusual, so he roared impatiently, “Get to the point. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Wu Yalei had no choice but to say straightforwardly, “Only three were in the imperial study then, we and the emperor of the Mo Country. Even if we talked about this outside, there must be nobody around…

“But under the situation, Lord Ying exactly knew the agreement between us and the emperor of the Mo Country. Don’t you understand what it meant?”

“Do you mean?” Yelü Anchen finally realized and the impatience on his face was replaced with pondering.

Wu Yalei nodded seriously. “Right, this Lord Ying is unpredictable. He knew it in such a short time, and he must have his way. So before we find out his identity, we can’t act blindly. It would be a disaster if we ruined His Majesty’s plans.”

No wonder Wu Yalei told him repeatedly. He was afraid that something bad would happen. While the main reason was that it was difficult to talk into Yelü Anchen, and the best way was to mention Yelü Beichen.

“Huh!” Yelü Anchen snorted unwillingly but didn’t say more, agreeing to Wu Yalei’s arrangement silently.

He just asked, “What would we do next?”

Wu Yalei shook his head. “We don’t need to do anything. Since His Majesty told us to listen to Lord Ying for this matter, at least he is on the same side with us for the colorful phenix’s issue. As for other things, we need to think it over.”

Other things naturally meant that Yelü Anchen wanted Lord Ying to help him deal with Mo Junyang.

Yelü Anchen frowned in a rage, but soon he controlled himself and didn’t lose temper. He just expressed crossly, “Fine, I know what to do. You don’t need to gab. Go out. I am going to bed.”

Gee, he still persisted in his old ways.

Wu Yalei complained in his heart but respectfully said goodbye and retreated.

Mo Junyang was summoned by Mo Xiangbin urgently and didn’t delay. He entered the imperial palace directly. Even though he was stopped by Yelü Anchen halfway, he didn’t waste a lot of time. Only Quan was scared with cold sweat all over.

“The prince of the Liang Country is difficult to deal with!” Quan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Mo Junyang glanced at Quan and asked, “Why did he enter the imperial palace today?”

Probably because of Mo Xiangbin’s evident attitude, this trusted follower of the emperor didn’t hide it from Mo Junyang. He simply repeated Yelü Anchen’s words.

Then he looked around cautiously and lowered his voice. “I guess that the prince has known what happened to the colorful phenix and came to threaten His Majesty with this accusation.”

Mo Junyang nodded to show that he understood but didn’t express his opinion. He just entered the imperial study.

Mo Xiangbin was walking back and forth in front of the desk and looked anxious, as if he would die a heroic death soon.

Seeing Mo Junyang enter the room, the emperor stepped forward and grabbed his hand before the young man saluted, saying joyfully, “Junyang, you finally come.”

Mo Junyang kept silent.

Mo Xiangbin knew about his character and didn’t mind. He asked hurriedly, “Quan must have told you why the people from the Liang Country came to me, right?”

“What are their requirements?” Mo Junyang asked.

“Three conditions, the iron mine, grain and…” Mo Xiangbin could hardly speak out the last requirement.

Mo Junyang looked up at Mo Xiangbin for a while and asked all of a sudden, “Your Majesty, are you going to agree with them?”

Mo Xiangbin was seen through and felt ashamed.

He smiled awkwardly and tried to defend himself. “In fact, as they said, we have much iron mine and grain anyway. We won’t be affected if we give them three thousand carts and three thousand dan randomly…”

“What’s the last requirement?” Mo Junyang hit the nail on the head.

Mo Xiangbin couldn’t avoid it and lowered his head in low spirits, answering frankly, “They want the five cities in the north next to the Liang Country.”

Mo Junyang nodded and his expression didn’t change. Nobody could notice if he was angry or didn’t care.

It made the emperor of the Mo Country more anxious.

“Junyang, what’s your opinion?”

“Your Majesty, what do you think?” Mo Junyang asked in reply.

Mo Xiangbin stiffened after being asked and stopped walking, supporting the desk.

He was like a cornered beast and could do nothing but be honest.

He licked his lower lip and spoke out the words one by one with difficulty.

“As a matter of fact, in my opinion, the five cities next to the Liang Country are poor areas. They don’t pay tax to the country every year, and the local officials would ask the country for money with the reason of disasters.

“So, if the bastards from the Liang Country insist, I have no choice, and I want…”

Mo Xiangbin stopped and peeped at Mo Junyang.

Then he looked away soon and thought that his action would damage an emperor’s majesty.

So he coughed falsely and tried to put on airs. “I just want to say that anyway our country has a vast territory and abundant resources, and it doesn’t matter if we lose one or two cities…”

“The main battlefield of the war between the two countries last year seems to be these five cities, right?” Mo Junyang asked unhurriedly.

Mo Xiangbin couldn’t answer.

Mo Junyang looked at Mo Xiangbin and continued, “Your Majesty, if you really plan to give out these five cities, how would you arrange for the more than one hundred thousand common people in the cities?”

Mo Xiangbin was speechless.

He had never thought about this question, but he realized that it was an urgent and hot potato after Mo Junyang mentioned it.

He would abandon the common people in the cities, and then he would be criticized by the public. After all, nobody hoped that he would have another nationality after he woke up.

But if they would take care of the people and give five empty cities to the Liang Country, letting them be citizens of the Mo Country… it was unrealistic.

The common people attached importance to their hometown and wouldn’t be willing to move.

Even if they were willing to move, where could he find such a large area to accept so many homeless people?

While thinking, Mo Xiangbin felt a headache.

At last, he shrank his neck and stated spiritlessly, “All the common people are alive and must have their own thoughts. I can’t make decisions for them. Of course, they can do whatever they want.”

In the end, Mo Junyang got confident.

Right. Even though he was the emperor, he couldn’t take care of everybody.

“What the common people want is not to hand over their home they have lived for long with a bow,” Mo Junyang said at leisure.

Mo Xiangbin was deflated.

All his excuses were ruined in an instant.

He felt that his coat was taken off, and he was ashamed.

“Junyang, what do you think I should do? Yelü Anchen even threatened me with the colorful phenix’s death. If the news is spread, I will be a sinner on the whole Qin Continent!” Mo Xiangbin had tears in his eyes.

He had no choice indeed.

He couldn’t take the blame…

“Didn’t the fourth prince say that? As long as they don’t see the colorful phenix’s dead body, they have no evidence no matter how certain they are.”

Mo Junyang looked cold and questioned impassively, “Now the people from the Liang Country just probed, but we are timid. Would we be controlled by them in the future?

“Or don’t you think that they would want more?”
