Chapter 564: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 33
Mu Yuanzhao, whose wound was being bandaged by Miaomiao, tilted his head and sneezed unconsciously, as if he had caught a cold.
Little did he know that his cold white flesh had been beaten into noodles in the heart of a mother who was thousands of miles away.
But this is not the time to worry about it. Given the overall situation, everyone in the Mu family is very clear-headed.
The harassment from the mountain bandits on the edge of the South City continued for a whole day and night. On the contrary, the defenders of the South City fought and retreated without any support, looking exhausted.
It was not until the evening that even Adjutant Qian found his way into the small building. When everyone was getting a little impatient, the phone finally rang.
Mu Yuanzhao answered the phone and learned that his men had discovered that someone, disguised as a bandit, had brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the edge of the south city.
The sophisticated guns and ammunition in their hands are not comparable to those of the bandits who have no way out.
Those people were the Li family members that Mu Yuanzhao had been waiting for.
After Mu Yuanzhao hung up the phone, he decisively ordered Adjutant Sun to bring reinforcements to wipe out all the bandits who had been led by the defending troops into the death circle he had set.
Since you are so arrogant, then stay and use as fertilizer for the plants in South City.
On the other hand, he ordered Adjutant Qian to continue luring the enemy deeper into the area. The places that had been harassed by bandits before had already been installed with bombs by Mu Yuanzhao's men.
Even some of the bombs inside were made by those spies, which can be said to be taking from the people and using them for the people.
Mu Yuanzhao didn't know how the tens of thousands of people riding war horses disguised themselves or even colluded with the bandits. In view of the previous tripartite agreement, there was no need to pursue the matter.
But now, we have entered the area of South City, and it is like closing the door and beating the dog.
If the man surnamed Li were still alive, there might be a possibility of investigation, but soon the man surnamed Li would be dead. Who would care about the man who pretended to be a bandit and entered the South City to burn, kill and loot?
The evening of this day was also a day that changed the distribution of power in the entire Xia Kingdom.
At this time, in the decorated Wudu City, the three leaders of the Li, Mu and Wang families and their wives or second wives had already arrived in Wudu City one after another and entered the Liao family.
The Liao family is the king in this Wucheng city.
Even for the three major warlords, the reason why the Liao family could exist under their control was not only because it could provide them with weapons and even maintain the stability of their three-way balance of power, but also because the Liao family was sensible enough.
I will never rely on any force...
Therefore, this can almost be said to be the place where the three warlords feel safest, apart from their own territories.
As the sky gradually darkened, the Liao family began to decorate the house with lights and decorations to welcome the arrival of the three warlords, and even invited a gong and drum troupe to play.
At this time, the entire Liao family began to decorate with lights and firecrackers were carried out of the door.
Amidst the blast of firecrackers and the roar of gongs and drums, a shocking incident was taking place in the Liao Mansion.
It was rare for the marshals to see each other for several years, and with the company of Mr. Liao, who was an old man in good condition, they temporarily put aside their prejudices and sat together to drink.
Especially with the humble persuasion of Governor Li, even the most explosive temper was slightly restrained at this time. Not only did they give face to Governor Li, but they also had to give face to Mr. Liao.
Governor Li was indeed very excited at this time. He had heard from his youngest daughter Yue'e early in the morning that the Liao family had obtained a poison developed by a foreign country.
It is colorless and tasteless and can be mixed with water and drunk. As long as there is no special trigger, it will remain silent forever.
The medicine lead is a special spice, just like the firecrackers that are being carried out now, a small amount of which is added to them, which is enough to be fatal.
Governor Li was not confident enough in family affection, but he was confident that if his daughter did not have him as a backer, she would have been killed by Mr. Liao's children long ago.
Only with him could she thrive in the Liao family, so he only believed in interests.
Governor Li wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of Mr. Liao’s birthday to complete his ambition of becoming king.
Even if I can't become king, it's enough to bite off a piece of meat from these people.
Especially the one with the surname Wang, who had two useless and dissolute sons, and a promising but too young son, who were brought along by him.
As for this man surnamed Mu, his talented son was seriously injured, and his younger son was also brought here. It was like all his fortune was in his hands. This was such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In order to allow the other two old men to drink the poison smoothly, Governor Li acted uncharacteristically low-key at the table.
They even proposed a bullshit peace agreement.
In recent years, the current warlord separatism has been maintained. No one has expanded their territory or fought wars. Instead, they have focused on developing the economy so that the people can live a good life.
Of course, developing the economy is also to prevent them from fighting too fiercely, which would benefit the foreigners.
Governor Li spoke in a very sanctimonious manner, and with Mr. Liao taking the lead, Marshal Mu thought the proposal was a good one. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, which was considered as his agreement.
Next came Mr. Liao, who was over seventy years old. An arms chief who was about to step into the coffin also drank the wine in the glass.
Of the four people present, only Marshal Wang was left. Because he had a long-standing grudge with Governor Li, but these grudges were not suitable to be discussed at the dinner table, Marshal Wang snorted and said that he only drank the wine in the glass for the sake of Mr. Liao.
"I simply dislike Li. After all, twenty years ago, this bastard was a house slave who couldn't even afford clothes.
If it weren't for selling my ass, I wouldn't have achieved anything.
But it’s a good thing that the old man is celebrating his birthday, I’ll drink this wine.”
Marshal Wang's words were extremely disrespectful, almost to the point of breaking off relations.
But what he said was true.
Governor Li looked at Marshal Wang who had already finished his wine, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, he returned to his previous hypocritical state.
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out one after another, and amid the loud noise of gongs and drums, he seemed to have tasted the taste of victory in advance.
The taste is sweet and fishy...
But when he came to his senses, he found that the two generals who had just been negotiating at the table stood up and looked at him in horror, and even fired the guns in their hands.
Especially that idiot named Wang, who had just laughed at him, but now was so scared that he peed his pants when he saw the look in his eyes.
Governor Li thought that they felt the pain in their stomach and wanted to laugh at them, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
He didn't even stand up straight before he collapsed to the ground. A generation of heroes, just like that, died quietly...
Amid the noisy sound of gongs and drums outside, the Liao family turned against the Li family army and pointed their guns at them.
And amid the noise, he directly killed those Li family Jingwei who didn't understand what was happening.
Marshal Wang wanted to do something, but his hesitation gave Marshal Mu time to act. Just like that, amid the sound of gongs and drums, the confident Governor Li and the hundreds of elite soldiers he left in the Liao family were killed.
At the same time, the cowardly Marshal Wang was captured alive, and half of his guards were killed by new weapons during their resistance.
