Chapter 333 Borrowing Military Tokens
But the servant at this time did not hesitate at all and went straight into the study.
In the study.
"Your Majesty greets the Second Emperor..." As soon as he entered the door, Bai Lixuan was ready to kneel down to Ming Wu.
"Prime Minister Bai, please don't be so polite! There is no need for those etiquettes between you and me." Mingwu Mo Xilin hurriedly helped Bai Lixuan up and said.
Only after Mo Xilin sat down did Bai Lixuan have time to understand it all.
"Second Prince, please forgive my stupidity. I really don't understand why the Second Prince asked me to drag the prince today."
"Because I want to save my father and mother, I got the news that they are both poisoned, and I just sent someone to deliver the antidote. I have no choice but to..."
In fact, Murong Chen had started investigating Bai Lixuan a long time ago.
Because he needed someone who was trustworthy and had certain strength to deal with Mo Lingri.
They also observed Bai Lixuan for a long time and found that he was not Mo Lingri's man, so they conducted further investigation.
Who would have thought that after checking, I would find out that he had always been the most loyal one.
Mo Xilin knew before that his parents often mentioned this person to his mother.
Unexpectedly, they made the right bet this time.
"What does the Second Prince plan to do now? If you can use me, just let me know!" Bai Lixuan spoke again.
"Since Prime Minister Bai has said so, Xi Lin will not be polite. The most important thing now is the power in Mo Lingri's hands. I don't know how many troops he has."
"This old man probably knows."
"Oh? Then Prime Minister Bai, why don't you tell us about it!" Mo Xilin said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Bai Lixuan hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"Some years ago, when I was still in power, our Zhishun Kingdom had about 120,000 soldiers and horses, and we had four sets of military tokens."
"The emperor has two pairs. Since I am deeply trusted by the late emperor, I must have one too. And since Prince Mo Lingri is the late emperor's son, I gave him one as well."
"If I'm not mistaken, the two military tokens held by the Emperor should be able to mobilize 60,000 troops, and this old man and Mo Lingri have 30,000 troops."
"And now that Mo Lingri hasn't killed the emperor yet, he must be trying to find the military token. In this case..."
Having said that, Bai Lixuan did not continue.
"Well, so, Prime Minister Bai also has 30,000 soldiers and horses?" Mo Xilin asked excitedly.
Originally, he was very excited.
Because he never dreamed that Bai Lixuan would have so many soldiers and horses.
"Don't get excited, Second Prince. I don't have that many soldiers. At most, I only have over 10,000."
Bai Lixuan sighed and said.
"Why?"
"The 30,000 troops in my hands were actually never 30,000. It was just a trick of the late emperor. Now I am worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Mo Xilin asked quickly.
"Originally, I thought that the number of soldiers and horses under Mo Lingri's command should be the same as mine, but the number is only 30,000 on the surface, but in reality it is less than 20,000."
"But when I was confronting Mo Lingri just now, I found that he was very confident. Based on this, I can be sure that he must have more than just these troops."
"But I am sure that he does not know how many soldiers I have. Otherwise, he would not have tolerated me today."
After hearing Bai Lixuan's words, Mo Xilin fell into deep thought.
"So what Prime Minister Yibai means is..."
"I suspect he has found the emperor's military talisman." Bai Lixuan said helplessly.
The words sounded helpless, but the expression on his face was determined.
"So it seems that Mo Lingri has at least 50,000 soldiers and horses?"
"In my opinion, they are equally matched! If he finds another set of military tokens, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if we rescue the emperor and the queen, it will be too late to save the situation."
The following words have turned into mumbling.
If it was before, he wouldn't be so worried.
But his identity has obviously been exposed today, so he is not afraid of death.
But once Mo Lingri ascends the throne, it will bring suffering to the people of Zhishun Kingdom.
The fact that the entire Zhishun Kingdom can enjoy such a peaceful life today is closely related to Emperor Mo Lingtian.
He was diligent in his work and loved the people. He was always concerned about the sufferings of the people and implemented benevolent policies to alleviate their sufferings...
He saw all of this.
He originally thought that the emperor was just seriously ill.
I went to the palace to visit him many times in the past two years, and each time I saw him, he was in a coma.
Now that I think about it, I realize something is wrong.
After resigning from the position of Prime Minister for so many years, he also wants to enjoy his own life.
I didn't expect so many things to happen.
Bai Lixuan didn't come out of the study until Mo Xilin had left for a long time.
He was still holding the empty box in his hand.
"Master, you..." As soon as he came out, Butler Zhang looked at Bai Lixuan worriedly.
The master has been in poor health in recent years, so they have been living in a villa in the countryside most of the time.
This time, if the master hadn't heard that something happened in the palace, he probably wouldn't have come back.
But I never thought that things would be so serious.
Although Butler Zhang didn't know what had happened, from the master's sullen expression, he knew that it was not a good thing.
"I'm fine!" Bai Lixuan looked up and said to the sky.
"Master, we are all old now, so let the young people worry about many things. The doctor said that your illness should not be treated with excessive work. If you continue, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I know my body well, cough... cough..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Lixuan started coughing non-stop.
Seeing this, Butler Zhang hurriedly walked behind him and kept helping him to calm down.
At the same time, she instructed the maid beside her: "What are you still standing there for? Is the medicine ready?"
"It's ready. I'll be there soon."
"Cough cough..."
"Master, look at yourself. I told you that you shouldn't worry about these things anymore!" Butler Zhang said with a frown.
At the same time, I made a decision silently in my heart.
No one else knew the person who just came in, but Butler Zhang, who had been following Bai Lixuan, certainly knew him.
Even though they didn't know the master's situation, he still understood it.
If this continues, the master may die soon.
When he was young, the master, as the prime minister, was already concerned about governing the country.
Thinking of this, Butler Zhang hurriedly helped Bai Lixuan to the bed in the bedroom.
After helping him drink the medicine and lie down, he slowly walked out.
He already knew who the man was, so it was easy to find out his location.
