The atmosphere in the main courtyard of the Mu family was very solemn. Mu Zhaohua's face was gloomy and ferocious, and there was a bit of anger. Even Mu Lingyue, who had always been calm, had a pale face. Her deep eyes as deep as the starry sky flashed from time to time, and the smart and wise light became a little dim at this time.
Bai Shilan, who escaped from the day of birth, has changed into a very professional outfit, put on a light makeup and returned to her previous strong woman's true nature, and is cold and arrogant.
Although the Ming Dynasty entered an open and modern society, most of these prominent families maintained the traditional superiority of men and women. In addition to some old-fashioned and traditional things, there were also some etiquettes that scholars around the world enjoyed talking about.
In theory, women have a relatively humble position in wealthy families, but capable women can be exceptions. Bai Shilan still plays an aggressive side in this family. She holds countless wealth and supports the Bai family. She does not follow the so-called need for the three obediences and four virtues, and will not waste her talents choosing the boring life of taking care of her husband and children.
Of course, due to love, she had to call her sister-in-law the queen when she saw her sister-in-law, because what she admired in this family was this sister-in-law, in addition to her jealous face, the beauty of the fairy-turned human being.
This sister-in-law is also a famous woman in the capital before she has no mother Yi. A smart man with a talented man in the ice and snow is willing to lose her advantage when she sees her. It can be said that if this sister-in-law is a man, she will definitely be the undisputed head of the Mu family. Of course, if she does not have a sister-in-law, the Mu family, the world's honorific, will not develop at this level.
Bai Shilan admires this sister-in-law very much because in addition to her status, she also has talent and talent that will be admired by all men who have seen her.
Bai Shilan hates the saying that women are not talented the most is virtue, and this queen is a model in her heart. Although she has the beauty of becoming a fairy, what she is most dazzling is not her charming face, but her talent that no one who is familiar with her dares to underestimate.
As for this husband, she would not look down on him, but she was also strangers. After all, it was a political marriage, and how could there be feelings? Especially Bai Shilan has nowhere to be found at home, which would be even more embarrassing. If it weren't for her own ability, she would have lost her status in such a wealthy family in the deep courtyard.
In the past, when the Mu family did not jump into the dragon gate, they were just low-level families on the periphery, without hereditary inheritance and no real power. To put it bluntly, it was not conspicuous at all when they were thrown into the capital.
The prosperity of the Mu family came after Mu Ling's Moon Mother was in power. Although it is undeniable that Mu Zhaohua also had certain abilities, if it weren't for the emergence of this Empress, the Mu family would definitely not be as high as they are today.
Even if the children of aristocratic families are born, they cannot stand out and take over the family power without talent. At that time, although Bai Shilan was a daughter, she had not had a high status, but she had already made her mark.
The Bai family is a prominent family and has always been a powerful faction in the army. If it weren't for Mu Lingyue's matchmaking, she wouldn't have married Mu Zhaohua for the benefit of the family and became the son of the two family alliances.
Husband?
Bai Shilan showed a disdainful smile. She had never had sex for many years without affection. They were just strangers who used each other. They couldn't even say anything to the person next to her, because the biggest connection between the two came from interests.
If there is a common topic, it is interests. Mu Zhaohua is ambitious and wants the Mu family to become a big family with real background, while Bai Shilan has the ability and his own purpose. After all, such a couple is the same person, and they have no feelings but can be tacit partners, who are very consistent in seeking rights and interests.
In recent years, Mu Zhaohua has three wives and four concubines, and other women have become more emotional and emotional. Bai Shilan has not returned to this so-called home for two years, let alone live here.
Unless it is a formal occasion, she feels disgusting when she comes back. It’s not that she is jealous of the love between Mu Zhaohua and other women, but that it is really boring to stay here as a tool.
If there was that kind of time, Bai Shilan was more keen on managing her own power and cultivating a huge force that had a foothold in both the Bai family and the Mu family.
What is that person’s identity?Bai Shilan changed her clothes and sat down, took a sip of light tea noodles and said: This is interesting enough to think about it. Isn’t the Mu family at its peak? There are actually crazy people in this world who don’t even give face to the Mu family. It’s really incredible that you don’t speak silently.
This is not that Bai Shilan is arrogant, but in her perception, unless the emperor takes action against the Mu family, no one in the Ming Dynasty dares to be in trouble with the Mu family now. Apart from the complex relationship, the weight of an internal minister + the queen of the dynasty is enough to make anyone retreat. In addition, the Bai family is behind it. No one in the power faction who is good at protecting himself will provoke the Mu family.
The upper-class world of the capital also has its own communication rules and unspoken rules that are tacitly understood by each other. Although they often fight openly and secretly for the sake of interests, in order to avoid bad influence, they often choose to turn big things into small things. Of course, all this depends on the royal family to maintain the balance of the forces of various factions and to embellish the peace.
So no matter how powerful the fight is, no one will break the face unless the fish is broken to death. As for now, imprisoning Bai Shilan is a break the face.
According to the preconceived thinking of ordinary people, either the royal family is attacking the Mu family, or the person who is attacking has the confidence to overwhelm the Mu family, otherwise it would be impossible for such an important person as Bai Shilan to be under house arrest.
Mu Zhaohua pondered for a while, hissing a irritable look in his eyes, and asked: Shilan, that person really said that if you didn’t come to apologize, you wouldn’t let us go?
It's Ah, a arrogant saying, it's a joke.No matter how stupid Bai Shilan was, she could see the solemn atmosphere and immediately asked: Who is that arrogant person? Why are you so depressed?
Mu Zhaohua and Mu Lingyue looked at each other, thinking that of course they were depressed. He was not a human being, an old monster who could not afford to offend him. For the time being, whoever provokes him is seeking death.
Although the so-called ancestors now cannot influence the situation of the government and the opposition, and do not have any real power, you have to take a respectful and respectful attitude towards him.
The old monster has no real power, but the emperor has it. Now the emperor expects him to change his fate and will definitely obey him in every way. Even if he is fighting Zhu Weitang in a dire way, as long as the old monster speaks, the emperor will definitely use Thunder means to deceive the world or frame the situation.
Although it may be a loss, there is a preface for the king to die and the ministers to die. If the Bai family and the Mu family resist, the emperor will definitely lose sight of the other when he is in a panic. However, in this way, Wuming is likely to be attacked by bystanders. Unless Zhu Weitang wins, there will be only a place of doom.
The capital is now in trouble, and it seems that no surprise that anyone will die. Thinking about the emperor's crazy brother and sister, neither of them would doubt this possibility.
And if he takes ten thousand steps back, he says that the old monster is moody and half-human and half-god. Even if he doesn't want to use the emperor's hands, he still has ways to deal with them. If he doesn't mention the force, just the extremely strange means are unbearable, and it feels creepy even if he thinks about it.
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Zhaohua's face turned pale. He understood that the family, which was as high as the peak of the world, was just an ant that could be destroyed by raising its hands under the imperial power. If the real imperial edict was arrived, the entire Mu family would be over.
Brother, take your sister-in-law to learn about it. She has always been a member of our Mu family.Mu Lingyue's face was as deep as water, and she was not very panicked. It seemed that she was always thinking about something, and she felt like a quiet wise man.
Although the couple is strangers, they are always involved in the interests. In addition, the news of the resurrection of the old monster is no longer a secret in the circle of power, but Bai Shilan has never been involved in politics, so she has not received any news.
So Mu Zhaohua sighed and took Bai Shilan to his office, saying that it was the office, but in fact, the defense was strict and security measures were numerous, and no one could enter without his permission.
I think Bai Shilan, who knows the truth, will understand the seriousness of the matter. Although she is very influential in the business world and can influence the political circle, it is not that the government and opposition people are not well-informed. It is not that she cannot blame her for such a problem, because Mu Zhaohua always treats her as an outsider and doesn't inform her at the first time.
Mu Lingyue felt an incredible headache in an instant. There was a reason why she had been living in seclusion during this period. One of the reasons was that she was very afraid of provoking that old monster.
What she was most unsure about was the existence of this old monster, because he was an instability factor that could occur in everything, so she had a headache now that she was afraid of.
At this time, Mu Lingyue felt a sudden vibration, interrupting her thoughts, which made her feel a little unhappy. There was no sound and the vibration frequency was so small that no one could notice it except her. Mu Lingyue's face darkened and quickly returned to the room, drove away the maid and made sure that the curtains were tightened.
As the queen of Mother Yi Tianxia, her movements were a little indecent at this time because she reached her hand into the edge of her skirt and groped, but this was also a helpless move.
Because the Mu family had been filled with surveillance by the people of the Imperial Guards before, and there were people on the periphery who were always monitoring them in the name of protection, and every move outside would be seen by the emperor.
On the surface, the royal family was harmonious, but in fact, the emperor had long been suspicious and guarded against the people beside the pillow. The only decent thing left was a private place like the room. If Zhu Weitang had not emerged, the emperor who could do everything would not have such a gentle attitude.
No one can guess that the world is so chaotic. He has to thank Zhu Weitang. If he hadn't appeared and had to let the emperor take care of it, I'm afraid the emperor would have been attacking his wife and children for his life. How could Mu Lingyue have time to plan so many things?
This is a phone that must not be exposed, with satellite encryption and no one knows the number. Even if the people from the Imperial Guard Department want to investigate, it will not happen for a while, because the signal of this phone has always been hidden by the top technical experts in the School of Technology. Even if it appears in the capital, it will be particularly hidden and will not cause the Imperial Guard Department to be noticed.
There is only one person who knows this number, and the connection with this person is an absolute secret, no one knows, even the most trusted brother Mu Lingyue hides it.
Even though Mu Zhaohua was vaguely aware, he never asked a question. Perhaps it was because of the trust of the elder brother as his father, but more because Mu Zhaohua believed in his sister's talent and strategy more than anyone else, and knew that his sister's appearance was as fairy as a human being, she had the courage to show her country that was not inferior to any man.
There was a thin strap tied at the base of Mu Lingyue's thighs, and the phone was hidden there, which was simple and small, and no one could tell.
The noble and elegant she fumbled for this indecent move before taking it out. She frowned faintly and then started: What's the matter?
Things have changed. Notify your person to stop moving before tomorrow night.
The hoarse voice from Zhu Weitang came from the other end of the phone: This was ordered by the old monster. He said that he would open the prison gate in the capital at night. It doesn’t matter if I am not in the capital. As for whether I stop fire, please do it.
What the old monster ordered?Mu Lingyue felt even more headache. This was really a wave of failure. She had heard of the opening of the prison gate.
If it were before, she would have sneered, but now even such a monster is resurrected, it is impossible for her to be resurrected in the world.
That's right, as for whether you listen to him or not, I will give you the control of your subordinates.Zhu Weitang was silent for a moment and said slowly: As a compensation for the old monster, I have the final say when I can take action. We can take the lead when we take action afterwards.But after all, you are deeply rooted in the capital and have a lot of people. It is up to you to decide whether to make a big deal. My team is your leader.
Yes, you are very sincere in cooperation.Mu Lingyueyan's face was covered with frost, and she asked dissatisfiedly: But what we had said before, have you arrived in the capital one after another?Why haven't you succeeded for so long?
Queen, my people are indeed not afraid of death, but it does not mean that they will die at will.
Zhu Weitang's tone was calm and unmoved at all: You chose to cooperate with me mainly because some things are suitable for me to do as a rebellious person. Even if you fail, you will not be able to implicate your head.And you do have enough sincerity, and the vast power in the Queen's hands has also allowed Weitang to see it. Without your help, Weitang would not be able to make trouble in the capital. Weitang still knows this in his mind. Our cooperation can be said to be a combination of pearls and walls, and Weitang never dares to have the idea of perfunctory things.
Less nonsense, I just want to know what happened?Mu Lingyue's tone was still calm, but unfortunately she could hear it was dissatisfied: I spent a lot of effort to protect you, and I also used my connections to help you enter the country secretly and even helped the evil to kill you. I have done what I should do, but what you promised me was without any sign of it.
What the Empress said was very true, this was indeed Wei Tang’s fault.Zhu Weitang's tone was a little low, and he said with a wry smile: Weitang wanted to do his best to fulfill his promise, but after Concubine Lu's son returned to Beijing, there were tightly guarded and a large number of soldiers guarding him.Moreover, he is now the crown prince. He rarely goes in and out, but there are a large number of guards following him and his whereabouts are strange. He has the protection of the imperial guards and the Lu family's masters. If he cannot succeed in one move, he will probably have no chance in the future.
Is that true, why don’t you worry like this when you use my people?
Mu Lingyue's tone gradually became gloomy: You act arrogantly and domineeringly. I think you should know that sooner or later my cooperation with you will be unstoppable. If the matter is not successful on the day when the matter is exposed, you should know the consequences more clearly than me.You are still free abroad, but you must face the endless pursuit of the royal family. With Zhu Weiquan's fierceness, you will not be broken into pieces for a day and will not stop. What I bet on is the Mu family in the capital, everything and my life, and if I fail, it will be a place of doom.
Don't worry, there is a God-given opportunity now.
Zhu Weitang smiled coldly: I can promise a ceasefire tomorrow. Although I don’t know what it is, I think they will relax their vigilance after coming. If you can create some opportunity, I can order my troops to attack Concubine Lu’s son with ease.
Tomorrow night Ah!After murmured for a while, he finally nodded: I understand, since that is the case, I will find a way. The emperor has become suspicious and knows that there is an insider, so he should also doubt me.Now I use loyal dead soldiers, and I can't find out my head yet, but this matter cannot be hidden for ten days and half a month, and the emperor's life span is not much.You'd better take out any trump cards as soon as possible to prevent the dream from changing too much.
Mu Lingyue's words were very clear. The people who assisted Zhu Weitang now were dead soldiers, and they would not blink even if they rebel.
But the problem is that there are not so many dead soldiers. Although the other forces under her command are loyal, she cannot guarantee that when it comes to rebellion, if they really pull out all their subordinates, they will definitely not be able to hide Zhu Weiquan. She will not be able to make a desperate attempt to defeat Zhu Weiquan.
Don't worry, this time I will do my best to succeed in one blow, otherwise the Queen would not have the confidence to continue working with me.Zhu Weitang said solemnly, then hung up the phone.
To be cautious, Mu Lingyue destroyed the phone that she used once, and she couldn't help but sigh as she opened the curtains and looked at the bright moon outside the window. The faint frost on her beautiful face had a murderous aura that ordinary people could not detect.
Although I knew in my heart that Zhu Weitang was a hero and working with him was like having to guard against a tiger, I thought about the current situation and Mu Lingyue couldn't care about so much.
Although everything seemed to be fine for the experimenter at the Royal Medical College to be killed, she understood that things were far from over. At least the woman who had the core secrets was still alive, and she could not feel at ease with this alone.
And he, if he could take the opportunity to get rid of him, the emperor would have no chance to survive, and he would not have been able to wait for the experimental group to rekindle.
If they can be solved, they can take advantage of the situation and deal with Zhu Weitang. By then, his son is the legitimate child, and Lu Yinxue is not his opponent. It is not easy to win the position of the Ninth Five.
Thinking of Mu Lingyue, he had a headache again. Now Zhu Weitang is restraining the emperor's attention, but he still can't think of a way to detach the old monster.
If it is an ordinary person, no matter how many martial arts masters send out a large number of people, they can even chew on an elephant. The problem is that this guy doesn’t know whether it is a human or a ghost, and with the protection of the imperial guards, he really can’t find any opportunity to start.
The trap set seemed useless. Mu Lingyue felt a headache. She had a sense of powerlessness because she had done everything but ignored you. She asked herself that she was extremely smart and could not guess the old monster's thoughts.
In the dimly lit wooden house, the Taishi Chair sways gently, looking leisurely and comfortable, lazy and somewhat casual rural atmosphere.
Zhu Weitang closed his eyes and kept thinking. Liu Haidong, who was standing beside him, looked at the view outside the window with his hands on his back, and couldn't help but smile: Lord, Mu Lingyue Ru is a hero among women as shown in the information, with meticulous thoughts and no visible mountains and waters. What she wanted to do seemed to be more than what she said. It was really creepy to think about it.
So I really don’t know whether I should be sad for the emperor’s brother.Zhu Weitang slowly opened his eyes, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes, unable to hide his gloating smile: The people beside him all have strange intentions, especially the Queen is even more capable. While he was ill and was in bed, she secretly cultivated such powerful forces, and she still had so many dead soldiers who would rather die than surrender. This really went beyond my expectations. In the capital, her power was much stronger than ours.
It's Ah!Liu Haidong walked over slowly, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it, and said with a smile: The ability of this queen is really impressive, but she chose to work with us, which scared me. She is really a brave and courageous woman.
After a pause, Liu Haidong said to the point: If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have made such a big stir. The official power and her unpredictable means would definitely not be a good thing to be an enemy of such a person. If such a person is an insider, anyone would have a headache.
Indeed, although Mu Lingyue is beautiful, this person is not easy to deal with. Every time I conspire with her, I dare not be careless at all.
Zhu Weitang, Gu Jing Wubo's tone, had murderous intention for the first time: The purpose of her cooperation with me is really hard to guess. Maybe I think that with her help, I and Zhu Weiquan will definitely be defeated and hurt. In our relationship, one of us will definitely be killed by death. It seems to be a helping force but there is another intention. If it weren't for the situation, I would really not want to cooperate with such a person.
But it is easier to guess if it is simpler!Liu Haidong smiled frivolously from the side: She wanted you to assassinate Concubine Lu's son in order to support her child to ascend the throne. Once Concubine Lu's prince dies at your hands, she can win over the Lianlian of the surname Lu to the same camp in the name of revenge.Even if you win, she can hold up the banner of strife, unite the people and win over the government and the public after Zhu Weiquan's death, and take advantage of the opportunity to control all the military powers of the Ming Dynasty that are known as the world.At that time, Concubine Lu would definitely stand on her side in the pain of losing her son. What the Lord had to face was the anger of the Ming Dynasty and the revenge of Concubine Lu.
Yes, the mechanism is done and the abacus is loud enough.Zhu Weitang frowned, his tone with a little confusion: But I can't understand it at all. She and I are both good at intrigues. I can understand this truth as well.If that's the case, why did she cooperate with me? Would she be so naive that I don't think I'm not guarding against her?
The answer is definitely impossible. In fact, Zhu Weitang and Zhu Weiquan are fighting hard, but everyone is guarding against Mu Lingyue, who seems to be silent.
Every time she cooperated with her, Zhu Weitang did not dare to neglect every word she said. She thought about it repeatedly. To put it bluntly, this woman had to be more vigilant in Zhu Weitang's heart.
Every time he conspired, he was trembling, and every time he talked, he felt like walking on thin ice. The taste in this made Zhu Weitang feel very puzzled. Although it did work miraculously, he couldn't be happy because after working with the queen, he could hardly sleep at night, and his mind was full of messy thoughts that could not be ignored.
There is something strange!Liu Haidong was also confused. Logically speaking, such a plan could not be concealed. With Mu Lingyue's decision, how could he have thought that it was impossible to know himself and his enemy? Even a conspirator would not ignore it.
Interestingly, she faced her brother, but the Queen was mixed with it, and no one dared to believe her.
Zhu Weitang suddenly couldn't help laughing: This matter is much more interesting than I thought. My brother and I were invincible and never ended. The queen would not believe her when she was caught in it.Such a fight is really a headache, but it is indeed interesting. The queen has absolutely no choice but to cooperate with me. I want to see what she wants to do.
Not only this, the queen, but also Concubine Lu.After a pause, Zhu Weitang couldn't help but cover her face and smiled: Although from the information, she is not as ambitious as the queen and has no cunning as the queen, but after all, that's the Lu family.In fact, she is not much inferior to the Mu family. Who knows what she is thinking without saying a word? Compared to the erotic queen, if Concubine Lu is a person who is good at forbearance and can act at the right time, then she needs more precautions than the queen.
Thinking of this, Zhu Weitang smiled even more happily. If the two people beside him had a strange intention, the emperor would have lived a much harder life than himself.
I am very cautious about my rebellious rebellion, but the two of them are from the royal family. For the sake of decent, there is no evidence to break up, but they are deeply rooted in the capital.
Zhu Weitang estimated that if these two women joined forces, the harm would be even greater than that of themselves. To put it bluntly, even the hidden dangers brought by the two themselves were not as great as those of them tied together.
It's really interesting, very interesting!Liu Haidong laughed loudly, but after laughing, the haze in his eyes flashed: Lord, what about the ancestor, it seems that it is very abnormal to reappear in the world. I think his appearance disrupted everyone's plans.Although he had already stated that he would not intervene, it was not a big deal to keep such a disaster that no one could predict. Although he was the ancestor of the country, it was also a threat after all.
Haidong, it’s not good for you to be so disrespectful.
Zhu Weitang said with a smile: The ancestor is already in the realm of heaven and man. His arrival in the world is a blessing for the descendants of his ancestors. How could he lose himself in vain?
The Lord, don’t make fun of it. I’m afraid that only Zhu Weiquan will say this. He is the most impressive emperor.
Liu Haidong sneered: No one in the world would have expected the resurrection of the old monster, but the result I can imagine is that if the emperor wins and the old monster changes his fate against the will of heaven and successfully let him continue his life, then the first person who will not let him go is the emperor.The emperor is narrow-minded and ruthless. How could he allow such a factor that threatens the imperial power? I am afraid that the emperor will try his best to get rid of him and get rid of it quickly.
Haidong, it’s not good to speak and dodge.
Zhu Weitang smiled teasingly: You are extremely smart, you are the number one master in rebellion in the outside world, but in fact your head is much better than your skills.He is not only the most powerful general under my command and the most powerful strategist. Why bother to say whatever he wants to say?
I didn't keep it a secret, the night was long and I was just talking about it without any trouble.Liu Haidong walked to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Zhu Weitang, and then said with a smile: In fact, some things are easy to understand. People from your royal family compete for power, and once Zhu Weiquan survives, he will not let the old monster go.But you are the same as saying it. On the surface, you are very respectful to the old monster when fighting Zhu Weiquan, but in fact, once you fail, all the vows will be torn up immediately. You will definitely kill the old monster at all costs and not give Zhu Weiquan a chance to survive.
That's right.Zhu Weitang's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said ferociously: I know I am better than you. At the beginning, I proposed the plan not to use missiles to paralyze Zhu Weiquan. Once I lose my power, the first thing I want to kill is the old monster. I will never give Zhu Weiquan any chance to survive.The ancestor Ren was a god who came to earth, and all the missiles controlled in his hands were bombarded and hung with him. He was killed without a complete body.
If you can think like this, I guess the Empress thinks so too. If you change your position and think about it, Concubine Lu has such a motive.
Liu Haidong thief smiled: Your mind is the same. I want to use this method to see if the situation can be stabilized and the country can be changed smoothly. However, if it fails, due to such a destructive and destructive momentum, the first person to be killed will definitely be the old monster, which will not give Zhu Weiquan a chance to survive.
It's Ah, you've guessed it.
Zhu Weitang sighed: I also guessed her intention, and I think Mu Lingyue also guessed what I wanted to do. Under such circumstances, do you think that the old monster who has been a human spirit for the rest of his life will not be able to guess?
It's Ah, this time he joined forces with the queen, and he was in harmony with his appearance, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.Liu Haidong drank the strong wine in the glass, and a glimmer of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes: The old monster reappeared in the world. To be honest, I really want to bet on his style of fighting the world with one force. I don’t know whether the legendary saint-quality realm can win the head of the general in the ten thousand troops is true or false.
Not far from that day, at most one month.Zhu Weitang's feet were tilted, and the Grand Master's chair shook again: Haidong, our people should have all entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and now we should set off.If you fail this time, you will live a life of silence like a walking corpse. It would be better to fight in the capital. No matter whether you lose or win or not, you will have no regrets in your life.
It's long time to leave, I can't stand the heat in Ava.
Liu Haidong smiled calmly: Unfortunately, the shocking thief has never been famous for his master. I guess my old life will only be buried in Wanliefutu for the next life.
Ah, the ancestor.Zhu Weitang closed his eyes and frowned uncontrollably, knowing that no one was caught off guard by this change.
The old monster who seemed easy to talk to, no one knew what he was thinking. With his scheming, it was impossible for him to guess what these people were trying to do, so everyone knew that the old monster might be the most unstable factor in this kind of battle.
Zhu Weiquan is now fully protecting him, but once he wins his life span, he will deal with him as soon as possible.
If I hadn't found the way and dared not take action rashly, I would have wanted to get rid of him quickly. Not only me, but the Queen and Concubine Lu might have such ideas.
The royal family was really in chaos, and Zhu Weitang's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he knew everything was about to be clear.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives, and there is also a mysterious and unfathomable old monster mixed in it. I am afraid no one knows the result of such a mixed battle between dragons and snakes.
Bai Shilan, who escaped from the day of birth, has changed into a very professional outfit, put on a light makeup and returned to her previous strong woman's true nature, and is cold and arrogant.
Although the Ming Dynasty entered an open and modern society, most of these prominent families maintained the traditional superiority of men and women. In addition to some old-fashioned and traditional things, there were also some etiquettes that scholars around the world enjoyed talking about.
In theory, women have a relatively humble position in wealthy families, but capable women can be exceptions. Bai Shilan still plays an aggressive side in this family. She holds countless wealth and supports the Bai family. She does not follow the so-called need for the three obediences and four virtues, and will not waste her talents choosing the boring life of taking care of her husband and children.
Of course, due to love, she had to call her sister-in-law the queen when she saw her sister-in-law, because what she admired in this family was this sister-in-law, in addition to her jealous face, the beauty of the fairy-turned human being.
This sister-in-law is also a famous woman in the capital before she has no mother Yi. A smart man with a talented man in the ice and snow is willing to lose her advantage when she sees her. It can be said that if this sister-in-law is a man, she will definitely be the undisputed head of the Mu family. Of course, if she does not have a sister-in-law, the Mu family, the world's honorific, will not develop at this level.
Bai Shilan admires this sister-in-law very much because in addition to her status, she also has talent and talent that will be admired by all men who have seen her.
Bai Shilan hates the saying that women are not talented the most is virtue, and this queen is a model in her heart. Although she has the beauty of becoming a fairy, what she is most dazzling is not her charming face, but her talent that no one who is familiar with her dares to underestimate.
As for this husband, she would not look down on him, but she was also strangers. After all, it was a political marriage, and how could there be feelings? Especially Bai Shilan has nowhere to be found at home, which would be even more embarrassing. If it weren't for her own ability, she would have lost her status in such a wealthy family in the deep courtyard.
In the past, when the Mu family did not jump into the dragon gate, they were just low-level families on the periphery, without hereditary inheritance and no real power. To put it bluntly, it was not conspicuous at all when they were thrown into the capital.
The prosperity of the Mu family came after Mu Ling's Moon Mother was in power. Although it is undeniable that Mu Zhaohua also had certain abilities, if it weren't for the emergence of this Empress, the Mu family would definitely not be as high as they are today.
Even if the children of aristocratic families are born, they cannot stand out and take over the family power without talent. At that time, although Bai Shilan was a daughter, she had not had a high status, but she had already made her mark.
The Bai family is a prominent family and has always been a powerful faction in the army. If it weren't for Mu Lingyue's matchmaking, she wouldn't have married Mu Zhaohua for the benefit of the family and became the son of the two family alliances.
Husband?
Bai Shilan showed a disdainful smile. She had never had sex for many years without affection. They were just strangers who used each other. They couldn't even say anything to the person next to her, because the biggest connection between the two came from interests.
If there is a common topic, it is interests. Mu Zhaohua is ambitious and wants the Mu family to become a big family with real background, while Bai Shilan has the ability and his own purpose. After all, such a couple is the same person, and they have no feelings but can be tacit partners, who are very consistent in seeking rights and interests.
In recent years, Mu Zhaohua has three wives and four concubines, and other women have become more emotional and emotional. Bai Shilan has not returned to this so-called home for two years, let alone live here.
Unless it is a formal occasion, she feels disgusting when she comes back. It’s not that she is jealous of the love between Mu Zhaohua and other women, but that it is really boring to stay here as a tool.
If there was that kind of time, Bai Shilan was more keen on managing her own power and cultivating a huge force that had a foothold in both the Bai family and the Mu family.
What is that person’s identity?Bai Shilan changed her clothes and sat down, took a sip of light tea noodles and said: This is interesting enough to think about it. Isn’t the Mu family at its peak? There are actually crazy people in this world who don’t even give face to the Mu family. It’s really incredible that you don’t speak silently.
This is not that Bai Shilan is arrogant, but in her perception, unless the emperor takes action against the Mu family, no one in the Ming Dynasty dares to be in trouble with the Mu family now. Apart from the complex relationship, the weight of an internal minister + the queen of the dynasty is enough to make anyone retreat. In addition, the Bai family is behind it. No one in the power faction who is good at protecting himself will provoke the Mu family.
The upper-class world of the capital also has its own communication rules and unspoken rules that are tacitly understood by each other. Although they often fight openly and secretly for the sake of interests, in order to avoid bad influence, they often choose to turn big things into small things. Of course, all this depends on the royal family to maintain the balance of the forces of various factions and to embellish the peace.
So no matter how powerful the fight is, no one will break the face unless the fish is broken to death. As for now, imprisoning Bai Shilan is a break the face.
According to the preconceived thinking of ordinary people, either the royal family is attacking the Mu family, or the person who is attacking has the confidence to overwhelm the Mu family, otherwise it would be impossible for such an important person as Bai Shilan to be under house arrest.
Mu Zhaohua pondered for a while, hissing a irritable look in his eyes, and asked: Shilan, that person really said that if you didn’t come to apologize, you wouldn’t let us go?
It's Ah, a arrogant saying, it's a joke.No matter how stupid Bai Shilan was, she could see the solemn atmosphere and immediately asked: Who is that arrogant person? Why are you so depressed?
Mu Zhaohua and Mu Lingyue looked at each other, thinking that of course they were depressed. He was not a human being, an old monster who could not afford to offend him. For the time being, whoever provokes him is seeking death.
Although the so-called ancestors now cannot influence the situation of the government and the opposition, and do not have any real power, you have to take a respectful and respectful attitude towards him.
The old monster has no real power, but the emperor has it. Now the emperor expects him to change his fate and will definitely obey him in every way. Even if he is fighting Zhu Weitang in a dire way, as long as the old monster speaks, the emperor will definitely use Thunder means to deceive the world or frame the situation.
Although it may be a loss, there is a preface for the king to die and the ministers to die. If the Bai family and the Mu family resist, the emperor will definitely lose sight of the other when he is in a panic. However, in this way, Wuming is likely to be attacked by bystanders. Unless Zhu Weitang wins, there will be only a place of doom.
The capital is now in trouble, and it seems that no surprise that anyone will die. Thinking about the emperor's crazy brother and sister, neither of them would doubt this possibility.
And if he takes ten thousand steps back, he says that the old monster is moody and half-human and half-god. Even if he doesn't want to use the emperor's hands, he still has ways to deal with them. If he doesn't mention the force, just the extremely strange means are unbearable, and it feels creepy even if he thinks about it.
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Zhaohua's face turned pale. He understood that the family, which was as high as the peak of the world, was just an ant that could be destroyed by raising its hands under the imperial power. If the real imperial edict was arrived, the entire Mu family would be over.
Brother, take your sister-in-law to learn about it. She has always been a member of our Mu family.Mu Lingyue's face was as deep as water, and she was not very panicked. It seemed that she was always thinking about something, and she felt like a quiet wise man.
Although the couple is strangers, they are always involved in the interests. In addition, the news of the resurrection of the old monster is no longer a secret in the circle of power, but Bai Shilan has never been involved in politics, so she has not received any news.
So Mu Zhaohua sighed and took Bai Shilan to his office, saying that it was the office, but in fact, the defense was strict and security measures were numerous, and no one could enter without his permission.
I think Bai Shilan, who knows the truth, will understand the seriousness of the matter. Although she is very influential in the business world and can influence the political circle, it is not that the government and opposition people are not well-informed. It is not that she cannot blame her for such a problem, because Mu Zhaohua always treats her as an outsider and doesn't inform her at the first time.
Mu Lingyue felt an incredible headache in an instant. There was a reason why she had been living in seclusion during this period. One of the reasons was that she was very afraid of provoking that old monster.
What she was most unsure about was the existence of this old monster, because he was an instability factor that could occur in everything, so she had a headache now that she was afraid of.
At this time, Mu Lingyue felt a sudden vibration, interrupting her thoughts, which made her feel a little unhappy. There was no sound and the vibration frequency was so small that no one could notice it except her. Mu Lingyue's face darkened and quickly returned to the room, drove away the maid and made sure that the curtains were tightened.
As the queen of Mother Yi Tianxia, her movements were a little indecent at this time because she reached her hand into the edge of her skirt and groped, but this was also a helpless move.
Because the Mu family had been filled with surveillance by the people of the Imperial Guards before, and there were people on the periphery who were always monitoring them in the name of protection, and every move outside would be seen by the emperor.
On the surface, the royal family was harmonious, but in fact, the emperor had long been suspicious and guarded against the people beside the pillow. The only decent thing left was a private place like the room. If Zhu Weitang had not emerged, the emperor who could do everything would not have such a gentle attitude.
No one can guess that the world is so chaotic. He has to thank Zhu Weitang. If he hadn't appeared and had to let the emperor take care of it, I'm afraid the emperor would have been attacking his wife and children for his life. How could Mu Lingyue have time to plan so many things?
This is a phone that must not be exposed, with satellite encryption and no one knows the number. Even if the people from the Imperial Guard Department want to investigate, it will not happen for a while, because the signal of this phone has always been hidden by the top technical experts in the School of Technology. Even if it appears in the capital, it will be particularly hidden and will not cause the Imperial Guard Department to be noticed.
There is only one person who knows this number, and the connection with this person is an absolute secret, no one knows, even the most trusted brother Mu Lingyue hides it.
Even though Mu Zhaohua was vaguely aware, he never asked a question. Perhaps it was because of the trust of the elder brother as his father, but more because Mu Zhaohua believed in his sister's talent and strategy more than anyone else, and knew that his sister's appearance was as fairy as a human being, she had the courage to show her country that was not inferior to any man.
There was a thin strap tied at the base of Mu Lingyue's thighs, and the phone was hidden there, which was simple and small, and no one could tell.
The noble and elegant she fumbled for this indecent move before taking it out. She frowned faintly and then started: What's the matter?
Things have changed. Notify your person to stop moving before tomorrow night.
The hoarse voice from Zhu Weitang came from the other end of the phone: This was ordered by the old monster. He said that he would open the prison gate in the capital at night. It doesn’t matter if I am not in the capital. As for whether I stop fire, please do it.
What the old monster ordered?Mu Lingyue felt even more headache. This was really a wave of failure. She had heard of the opening of the prison gate.
If it were before, she would have sneered, but now even such a monster is resurrected, it is impossible for her to be resurrected in the world.
That's right, as for whether you listen to him or not, I will give you the control of your subordinates.Zhu Weitang was silent for a moment and said slowly: As a compensation for the old monster, I have the final say when I can take action. We can take the lead when we take action afterwards.But after all, you are deeply rooted in the capital and have a lot of people. It is up to you to decide whether to make a big deal. My team is your leader.
Yes, you are very sincere in cooperation.Mu Lingyueyan's face was covered with frost, and she asked dissatisfiedly: But what we had said before, have you arrived in the capital one after another?Why haven't you succeeded for so long?
Queen, my people are indeed not afraid of death, but it does not mean that they will die at will.
Zhu Weitang's tone was calm and unmoved at all: You chose to cooperate with me mainly because some things are suitable for me to do as a rebellious person. Even if you fail, you will not be able to implicate your head.And you do have enough sincerity, and the vast power in the Queen's hands has also allowed Weitang to see it. Without your help, Weitang would not be able to make trouble in the capital. Weitang still knows this in his mind. Our cooperation can be said to be a combination of pearls and walls, and Weitang never dares to have the idea of perfunctory things.
Less nonsense, I just want to know what happened?Mu Lingyue's tone was still calm, but unfortunately she could hear it was dissatisfied: I spent a lot of effort to protect you, and I also used my connections to help you enter the country secretly and even helped the evil to kill you. I have done what I should do, but what you promised me was without any sign of it.
What the Empress said was very true, this was indeed Wei Tang’s fault.Zhu Weitang's tone was a little low, and he said with a wry smile: Weitang wanted to do his best to fulfill his promise, but after Concubine Lu's son returned to Beijing, there were tightly guarded and a large number of soldiers guarding him.Moreover, he is now the crown prince. He rarely goes in and out, but there are a large number of guards following him and his whereabouts are strange. He has the protection of the imperial guards and the Lu family's masters. If he cannot succeed in one move, he will probably have no chance in the future.
Is that true, why don’t you worry like this when you use my people?
Mu Lingyue's tone gradually became gloomy: You act arrogantly and domineeringly. I think you should know that sooner or later my cooperation with you will be unstoppable. If the matter is not successful on the day when the matter is exposed, you should know the consequences more clearly than me.You are still free abroad, but you must face the endless pursuit of the royal family. With Zhu Weiquan's fierceness, you will not be broken into pieces for a day and will not stop. What I bet on is the Mu family in the capital, everything and my life, and if I fail, it will be a place of doom.
Don't worry, there is a God-given opportunity now.
Zhu Weitang smiled coldly: I can promise a ceasefire tomorrow. Although I don’t know what it is, I think they will relax their vigilance after coming. If you can create some opportunity, I can order my troops to attack Concubine Lu’s son with ease.
Tomorrow night Ah!After murmured for a while, he finally nodded: I understand, since that is the case, I will find a way. The emperor has become suspicious and knows that there is an insider, so he should also doubt me.Now I use loyal dead soldiers, and I can't find out my head yet, but this matter cannot be hidden for ten days and half a month, and the emperor's life span is not much.You'd better take out any trump cards as soon as possible to prevent the dream from changing too much.
Mu Lingyue's words were very clear. The people who assisted Zhu Weitang now were dead soldiers, and they would not blink even if they rebel.
But the problem is that there are not so many dead soldiers. Although the other forces under her command are loyal, she cannot guarantee that when it comes to rebellion, if they really pull out all their subordinates, they will definitely not be able to hide Zhu Weiquan. She will not be able to make a desperate attempt to defeat Zhu Weiquan.
Don't worry, this time I will do my best to succeed in one blow, otherwise the Queen would not have the confidence to continue working with me.Zhu Weitang said solemnly, then hung up the phone.
To be cautious, Mu Lingyue destroyed the phone that she used once, and she couldn't help but sigh as she opened the curtains and looked at the bright moon outside the window. The faint frost on her beautiful face had a murderous aura that ordinary people could not detect.
Although I knew in my heart that Zhu Weitang was a hero and working with him was like having to guard against a tiger, I thought about the current situation and Mu Lingyue couldn't care about so much.
Although everything seemed to be fine for the experimenter at the Royal Medical College to be killed, she understood that things were far from over. At least the woman who had the core secrets was still alive, and she could not feel at ease with this alone.
And he, if he could take the opportunity to get rid of him, the emperor would have no chance to survive, and he would not have been able to wait for the experimental group to rekindle.
If they can be solved, they can take advantage of the situation and deal with Zhu Weitang. By then, his son is the legitimate child, and Lu Yinxue is not his opponent. It is not easy to win the position of the Ninth Five.
Thinking of Mu Lingyue, he had a headache again. Now Zhu Weitang is restraining the emperor's attention, but he still can't think of a way to detach the old monster.
If it is an ordinary person, no matter how many martial arts masters send out a large number of people, they can even chew on an elephant. The problem is that this guy doesn’t know whether it is a human or a ghost, and with the protection of the imperial guards, he really can’t find any opportunity to start.
The trap set seemed useless. Mu Lingyue felt a headache. She had a sense of powerlessness because she had done everything but ignored you. She asked herself that she was extremely smart and could not guess the old monster's thoughts.
In the dimly lit wooden house, the Taishi Chair sways gently, looking leisurely and comfortable, lazy and somewhat casual rural atmosphere.
Zhu Weitang closed his eyes and kept thinking. Liu Haidong, who was standing beside him, looked at the view outside the window with his hands on his back, and couldn't help but smile: Lord, Mu Lingyue Ru is a hero among women as shown in the information, with meticulous thoughts and no visible mountains and waters. What she wanted to do seemed to be more than what she said. It was really creepy to think about it.
So I really don’t know whether I should be sad for the emperor’s brother.Zhu Weitang slowly opened his eyes, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes, unable to hide his gloating smile: The people beside him all have strange intentions, especially the Queen is even more capable. While he was ill and was in bed, she secretly cultivated such powerful forces, and she still had so many dead soldiers who would rather die than surrender. This really went beyond my expectations. In the capital, her power was much stronger than ours.
It's Ah!Liu Haidong walked over slowly, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it, and said with a smile: The ability of this queen is really impressive, but she chose to work with us, which scared me. She is really a brave and courageous woman.
After a pause, Liu Haidong said to the point: If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have made such a big stir. The official power and her unpredictable means would definitely not be a good thing to be an enemy of such a person. If such a person is an insider, anyone would have a headache.
Indeed, although Mu Lingyue is beautiful, this person is not easy to deal with. Every time I conspire with her, I dare not be careless at all.
Zhu Weitang, Gu Jing Wubo's tone, had murderous intention for the first time: The purpose of her cooperation with me is really hard to guess. Maybe I think that with her help, I and Zhu Weiquan will definitely be defeated and hurt. In our relationship, one of us will definitely be killed by death. It seems to be a helping force but there is another intention. If it weren't for the situation, I would really not want to cooperate with such a person.
But it is easier to guess if it is simpler!Liu Haidong smiled frivolously from the side: She wanted you to assassinate Concubine Lu's son in order to support her child to ascend the throne. Once Concubine Lu's prince dies at your hands, she can win over the Lianlian of the surname Lu to the same camp in the name of revenge.Even if you win, she can hold up the banner of strife, unite the people and win over the government and the public after Zhu Weiquan's death, and take advantage of the opportunity to control all the military powers of the Ming Dynasty that are known as the world.At that time, Concubine Lu would definitely stand on her side in the pain of losing her son. What the Lord had to face was the anger of the Ming Dynasty and the revenge of Concubine Lu.
Yes, the mechanism is done and the abacus is loud enough.Zhu Weitang frowned, his tone with a little confusion: But I can't understand it at all. She and I are both good at intrigues. I can understand this truth as well.If that's the case, why did she cooperate with me? Would she be so naive that I don't think I'm not guarding against her?
The answer is definitely impossible. In fact, Zhu Weitang and Zhu Weiquan are fighting hard, but everyone is guarding against Mu Lingyue, who seems to be silent.
Every time she cooperated with her, Zhu Weitang did not dare to neglect every word she said. She thought about it repeatedly. To put it bluntly, this woman had to be more vigilant in Zhu Weitang's heart.
Every time he conspired, he was trembling, and every time he talked, he felt like walking on thin ice. The taste in this made Zhu Weitang feel very puzzled. Although it did work miraculously, he couldn't be happy because after working with the queen, he could hardly sleep at night, and his mind was full of messy thoughts that could not be ignored.
There is something strange!Liu Haidong was also confused. Logically speaking, such a plan could not be concealed. With Mu Lingyue's decision, how could he have thought that it was impossible to know himself and his enemy? Even a conspirator would not ignore it.
Interestingly, she faced her brother, but the Queen was mixed with it, and no one dared to believe her.
Zhu Weitang suddenly couldn't help laughing: This matter is much more interesting than I thought. My brother and I were invincible and never ended. The queen would not believe her when she was caught in it.Such a fight is really a headache, but it is indeed interesting. The queen has absolutely no choice but to cooperate with me. I want to see what she wants to do.
Not only this, the queen, but also Concubine Lu.After a pause, Zhu Weitang couldn't help but cover her face and smiled: Although from the information, she is not as ambitious as the queen and has no cunning as the queen, but after all, that's the Lu family.In fact, she is not much inferior to the Mu family. Who knows what she is thinking without saying a word? Compared to the erotic queen, if Concubine Lu is a person who is good at forbearance and can act at the right time, then she needs more precautions than the queen.
Thinking of this, Zhu Weitang smiled even more happily. If the two people beside him had a strange intention, the emperor would have lived a much harder life than himself.
I am very cautious about my rebellious rebellion, but the two of them are from the royal family. For the sake of decent, there is no evidence to break up, but they are deeply rooted in the capital.
Zhu Weitang estimated that if these two women joined forces, the harm would be even greater than that of themselves. To put it bluntly, even the hidden dangers brought by the two themselves were not as great as those of them tied together.
It's really interesting, very interesting!Liu Haidong laughed loudly, but after laughing, the haze in his eyes flashed: Lord, what about the ancestor, it seems that it is very abnormal to reappear in the world. I think his appearance disrupted everyone's plans.Although he had already stated that he would not intervene, it was not a big deal to keep such a disaster that no one could predict. Although he was the ancestor of the country, it was also a threat after all.
Haidong, it’s not good for you to be so disrespectful.
Zhu Weitang said with a smile: The ancestor is already in the realm of heaven and man. His arrival in the world is a blessing for the descendants of his ancestors. How could he lose himself in vain?
The Lord, don’t make fun of it. I’m afraid that only Zhu Weiquan will say this. He is the most impressive emperor.
Liu Haidong sneered: No one in the world would have expected the resurrection of the old monster, but the result I can imagine is that if the emperor wins and the old monster changes his fate against the will of heaven and successfully let him continue his life, then the first person who will not let him go is the emperor.The emperor is narrow-minded and ruthless. How could he allow such a factor that threatens the imperial power? I am afraid that the emperor will try his best to get rid of him and get rid of it quickly.
Haidong, it’s not good to speak and dodge.
Zhu Weitang smiled teasingly: You are extremely smart, you are the number one master in rebellion in the outside world, but in fact your head is much better than your skills.He is not only the most powerful general under my command and the most powerful strategist. Why bother to say whatever he wants to say?
I didn't keep it a secret, the night was long and I was just talking about it without any trouble.Liu Haidong walked to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Zhu Weitang, and then said with a smile: In fact, some things are easy to understand. People from your royal family compete for power, and once Zhu Weiquan survives, he will not let the old monster go.But you are the same as saying it. On the surface, you are very respectful to the old monster when fighting Zhu Weiquan, but in fact, once you fail, all the vows will be torn up immediately. You will definitely kill the old monster at all costs and not give Zhu Weiquan a chance to survive.
That's right.Zhu Weitang's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said ferociously: I know I am better than you. At the beginning, I proposed the plan not to use missiles to paralyze Zhu Weiquan. Once I lose my power, the first thing I want to kill is the old monster. I will never give Zhu Weiquan any chance to survive.The ancestor Ren was a god who came to earth, and all the missiles controlled in his hands were bombarded and hung with him. He was killed without a complete body.
If you can think like this, I guess the Empress thinks so too. If you change your position and think about it, Concubine Lu has such a motive.
Liu Haidong thief smiled: Your mind is the same. I want to use this method to see if the situation can be stabilized and the country can be changed smoothly. However, if it fails, due to such a destructive and destructive momentum, the first person to be killed will definitely be the old monster, which will not give Zhu Weiquan a chance to survive.
It's Ah, you've guessed it.
Zhu Weitang sighed: I also guessed her intention, and I think Mu Lingyue also guessed what I wanted to do. Under such circumstances, do you think that the old monster who has been a human spirit for the rest of his life will not be able to guess?
It's Ah, this time he joined forces with the queen, and he was in harmony with his appearance, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.Liu Haidong drank the strong wine in the glass, and a glimmer of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes: The old monster reappeared in the world. To be honest, I really want to bet on his style of fighting the world with one force. I don’t know whether the legendary saint-quality realm can win the head of the general in the ten thousand troops is true or false.
Not far from that day, at most one month.Zhu Weitang's feet were tilted, and the Grand Master's chair shook again: Haidong, our people should have all entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and now we should set off.If you fail this time, you will live a life of silence like a walking corpse. It would be better to fight in the capital. No matter whether you lose or win or not, you will have no regrets in your life.
It's long time to leave, I can't stand the heat in Ava.
Liu Haidong smiled calmly: Unfortunately, the shocking thief has never been famous for his master. I guess my old life will only be buried in Wanliefutu for the next life.
Ah, the ancestor.Zhu Weitang closed his eyes and frowned uncontrollably, knowing that no one was caught off guard by this change.
The old monster who seemed easy to talk to, no one knew what he was thinking. With his scheming, it was impossible for him to guess what these people were trying to do, so everyone knew that the old monster might be the most unstable factor in this kind of battle.
Zhu Weiquan is now fully protecting him, but once he wins his life span, he will deal with him as soon as possible.
If I hadn't found the way and dared not take action rashly, I would have wanted to get rid of him quickly. Not only me, but the Queen and Concubine Lu might have such ideas.
The royal family was really in chaos, and Zhu Weitang's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he knew everything was about to be clear.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives, and there is also a mysterious and unfathomable old monster mixed in it. I am afraid no one knows the result of such a mixed battle between dragons and snakes.
