Everyone knows that Jiang Han must die! However, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, your illegal means can hardly bring about Jiang Han's end!
Jiu Gong sighed and sat up in his chair. Wen Xinhong approached from behind like a servant, massaging Jiu Gong's shoulders.
Mu Prime Minister, witnessing this scene, suppressed his displeasure and said slowly, "If that's the case, what are your thoughts, Your Excellency?"
Ben Xiang recalled that your Wan Dajun was nearly annihilated at the hands of Lin Qingyue! This was unprecedented; previously, the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry could at least achieve a one-to-four battle record, yet now they have been completely wiped out!
The news of the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry's annihilation struck Jiu Gong like a thunderclap, causing him to rise abruptly. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Mu Prime Minister. After a moment, he spoke: "The Maple Forest Iron Cavalry is a mounted force meant for open plains. Once forced to become city defenders, they are no different from ordinary infantry, especially when caught off guard by a sudden attack! No matter how strong the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry is, they are still human and cannot charge effectively within the streets of a city. Naturally, they cannot unleash their true power!"
In contrast, Lin Qingyue's cavalry could charge in through the city gates and create chaos.
Mu Prime Minister replied, "This matter is a thorn in This Palace's side; please do not bring it up again! Lin Qingyue and Jiang Han will be dealt with in due time!"
Jiu Gong spoke through gritted teeth, struggling to contain his fury. The losses this time were too great!
"Then will you not seek revenge?" Mu Prime Minister sneered at Jiu Gong. "If my estimation is correct, you seem to have no troops left at your disposal!"
"Not so! Not so!" Jiu Gong turned around and placed her delicate hand on Wen Xinhong's cheek. She spoke tenderly, "This is the fourth man of This Palace, the fourth man on Ming Mian! He has ties with the Wen family and is currently among the forces negotiating for peace!"
Seeing this scene and noticing how much Wen Xinhong enjoyed Jiu Gong's affectionate gesture, Mu Prime Minister couldn't help but snort in disdain. "Adulterous couple! You are fortunate; otherwise, I would have thrown you into a pig cage."
"Enough of that; let us discuss how to deal with Jiang Han!"
Jiu Gong then asked Ben Xiang, "Did you know that you and my son were once nearly trapped by Jiang Han and almost met your demise at Hongfu Temple?"
Mu Prime Minister inquired further.
Jiu Gong nodded and replied, "Yes, if we act covertly, it will be difficult for us to avoid Jiang Han's schemes!"
Moreover, Su Qianxue will also send people to assassinate us, so there are no covert actions against Jiang Han! We might even face more intense retaliation from Jiang Han; we can only rely on Ming Mian!
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister Mu pondered for a moment, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his lips. "I have a plan!"
Jiu Gong looked surprised and stared intently at Prime Minister Mu, asking, "What plan?"
"Piao Xue!"
Ben Xiang wants Piao Xue to marry Wen Xinhong!
Prime Minister Mu wore a hint of mockery as he glanced at Wen Xinhong.
Wen Xinhong was taken aback and replied, "Chancellor, Piao Xue is Jiang Han's woman. Besides, I already have someone I love." After saying this, his gaze fell on Jiu Gong.
Jiu Gong displayed a look of shock and disgust, unable to help but scrutinize Prime Minister Mu from head to toe. "Are you crazy? This Palace has already told you that Piao Xue is Jiang Han's woman. Those two probably share the same bed every night!"
"Piao Xue—if she weren't Jiang Han's woman, I wouldn't even be interested in her!" The more she belongs to Jiang Han, the more I want to take action against him!
Prime Minister Mu appeared shrewd and calculating.
Jiu Gong suppressed his disgust and looked at Prime Minister Mu, asking, "Aren't you afraid that when Piao Xue marries Wen Xinhong, she might be carrying a child?"
"Then all the better!" Prime Minister Mu's reaction was beyond ordinary, leaving both Jiu Gong and Wen Xinhong stunned. What does that mean?
Wen Xinhong scrutinized Prime Minister Mu closely. "Chancellor, although I took your son's woman, you're asking me to marry Jiang Han's woman. If Piao Xue is pregnant with Jiang Han's child—then what? Wouldn't that mean I'm wearing a green hat? If you dislike me, just deal with me directly; there's no need for this!"
Jiu Gong's expression was complex as he thought for a moment and moved in front of Wen Xinhong, wanting to protect the little man he had just found.
However, Prime Minister Mu calmly said, "If Piao Xue marries Wen Xinhong while carrying Jiang Han's child—then all the better! Once the child is born, I'll take it to Jiang Han and demand resources! If Jiang Han refuses to give them to me, then I'll fry the child and eat it!"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Gong felt a wave of nausea and turned away to adjust himself.
"That's how it should be!"
Jiang Han's children are in Ben Xiang's hands. Doesn't that mean Ben Xiang can have whatever he wants? Not just Piao Xue, but also Ling Xue, Cen Ya, Yan Dong—every woman connected to Jiang Han is fair game for him!
As Mu Prime Minister spoke, a ruthless smile crept across his face. If all these women bear Jiang Han's children, then my leverage will be immense! These women have all shared a bed with Jiang Han; if they have children, it only strengthens my position!
As for reputation and the green hat—who cares? Once the child is born, I will use it to demand supplies and weapons from you, Jiang Han. If you refuse today, I will fry your son. If you still refuse tomorrow? Then I will fry your daughter. I may not eat them myself, but I can certainly throw them to the dogs.
Previously, I was worried about not having any dirt on you. But now that I see you have so many women, this is perfect!
Wen Xinhong suddenly mustered the courage to ask, "Chancellor, how can we make Jiang Han's women marry us?"
Mu Prime Minister looked at Wen Xinhong as if he were a fool. Ben Xiang has brought Four Hundred Thousand Troops! Do you think they can just refuse to marry? What a naive dream! If the Four Hundred Thousand Soldiers weren't here, then perhaps they could refuse. But with them here? Hmph! Just try refusing to marry one!
This battle against your Great Zhou is precisely timed with this marriage proposal. If we win, it will be a tremendous gain. If you, Jiang Han, are willing to sacrifice your women and don't care about your children, then so be it. Your daughter and children will simply be fed to the dogs; we'll vent our frustrations first.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Gong felt that this old Chancellor's methods were truly remarkable. If it were me, I wouldn't resort to such vicious schemes.
"Jiu Gong, prepare the troops!" Mu Prime Minister commanded. "From the Four Hundred Thousand Troops, select ten Wan Dajun to advance and pressure the Great Zhou Capital to facilitate this war proposal!"
