Chapter 324

"Without me saying it, I presume you all know that the greatest ideal of the Murong clan is to revive Great Yan and restore the glory of the former Great Yan Kingdom."

"For this, Gusu Murong Bo back then did not hesitate to ignite the dispute between the Song and Liao kingdoms, and even induced the two countries to go directly to war."

"However, this was only one of the layouts Gusu Murong Bo had back then."

"After all, igniting the dispute between the Song and Liao kingdoms was not an easy task, and the two countries might not have gone as Gusu Murong Bo wished."

"Therefore, using a pretext to fake death and manipulating from the shadows was also one of them!"

"Following the dispute between the Song and Liao kingdoms, then uniting with Dali, Tubo, Xixia, and other countries—when the five countries rise together to carve up the Great Song, what would be wrong with that?"

"After all, as long as the Murong clan promises to kill the Duan father and son for Duan Yanqing and help him reclaim the throne, such a thing would be very likely to happen."

"With Duan Yanqing's character, if someone could help him kill his enemies and reclaim the throne at the same time, he would certainly agree to such conditions."

"This is the first test you father and son will face."

"Besides this, years ago Gusu Murong Bo saw Hearing Wushuang's ambition, and coupled with this big monk's status as the Tubo National Master, he also courted him in every possible way."

"When the time truly comes, the Murong clan will certainly collect this debt of favor with interest."

"Likewise, such a thing is also a great good for Hearing Wushuang and the entire Tubo."

"Following Great Yan and Dali, Tubo can also take a share of the spoils from the Great Song."

"Besides this, there is Xixia, which is already an enemy of the Great Song. If they see the other four countries rising together to specifically oppose the Great Song, Xixia, as a mortal enemy, would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If the Song and Liao kingdoms have a dispute, Great Liao might not win, and Great Song might not lose,"

"But if five countries rise together and are determined to put the Great Song to death, with the national strength of the Great Song, it would absolutely be impossible to resist."

"And everything, everything, only needs an excuse, a beginning, and a tacit understanding."

"And this best excuse is to unite together and kill you father and son."

Having said this, Su Hang paused and continued:

"As long as you father and son die, with the support of the Murong clan, Duan Yanqing would be very likely to reclaim the throne."

"At that time, with the support of Dali, the Murong clan could completely restore their country,"

"And then unite with Tubo, Xixia, Great Liao, and other countries; it can be said that the Great Song is in danger!"

Su Hang stopped speaking after saying this,

Looking carefully, one could see cold sweat streaming down Duan Yu's face, and his whole body could not help but tremble!

Yes! Mr. Su's words make so much sense!

If he hadn't exposed his life background in advance and used this shocking news that made the world drop their jaws to persuade the great villain Duan Yanqing to retreat, who could predict how this matter would develop!

With Duan Yu's intelligence, he didn't need to think much to understand that if Gusu Murong Bo really found Duan Yanqing and proposed this plan to him, how could Duan Yanqing, who would be getting a free bargain, have any reason not to agree?

Once this matter is done, that would be a world-shaking, incredible event!

At that time, not only would he die, but it would even implicate the entire Dali!

Once the five countries rise together and really carve up the Great Song,

That would certainly be the end of the world in chaos and the people in misery.

Such a thing is clearly something Duan Yu does not want to see, and even more so something the entire Dali royal family does not want to see.

At this very moment, the Jianghu onlookers outside the Half-Moon Inn also began to discuss it one after another upon hearing this.

"Yes! Mr. Su's words make so much sense. If I were Duan Yanqing, I would have absolutely no reason to refuse... After all, as long as I lie flat, I get everything; why wouldn't I do it?"

"Although this old man really dislikes the Murong clan's way of doing things, I have to say that Gusu Murong Bo is indeed a great talent proficient in strategy. One doesn't need to think to know that such insidious tactics must have come from the Murong clan!"

"Indeed! I have to admit that this strategy of uniting the other four countries to carve up the Great Song is truly vicious! Fortunately, the Song and Liao kingdoms did not start a war; otherwise, it would inevitably be the same as hundreds of years ago, and in the end, the Murong clan would have taken advantage of it—taken a huge advantage!"

"Sigh! What a pity! Compared to Gusu Murong Bo, this Gusu Murong Fu is just a useless young master... In terms of Wu Gong, strategy, and forbearance, he doesn't deserve the three words 'South Murong' in any way!"

"Now it seems that if Mr. Su hadn't exposed this matter in advance, it would have been equivalent to saving the lives of Duan Yu and his father... and Duan Yu and his father were completely unaware, and in the end, they even blamed Mr. Su."

"In the end, only Mr. Su could see through the Murong clan's trick. Incredible, truly incredible; the world is ignorant and almost fell for it."

Upon hearing the crowd's discussion, Wang Yuyan also said with a look of astonishment:

"So that's how it is!"

"I never thought Uncle would have such a strategy!"

"If we talk about viciousness, I fear no one in this world can compare..."

In Wang Yuyan's impression, the old master of Swallow Dock had always been a kind and amiable person; when she was still at Swallow Dock, he had praised her highly.

But one can know a person's face but not their heart. Now, from Mr. Su, Wang Yuyan learned that her Uncle Murong was actually such an ambitious person.

And his ambition was the entire world!

Thinking of this, even Wang Yuyan could not help but feel a chill.

"It's just... it's just that Cousin is already dead now..."

"He is the only son of the Murong clan. In this way, even if Uncle Murong could revive Great Yan, I fear it would be of no use in the end!"

"Cousin cannot come back to life, and the Murong clan will ultimately have no one to inherit it!"

"One can only say that man proposes, but Heaven disposes!"

At this very moment,

After some thought, Duan Yu finally understood the logic behind it.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his attitude toward Su Hang changed from the previous resentment to respect.

He stepped forward, bowed, and cupped his hands to Su Hang:

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your guidance! Duan Yu understands!"

"If it weren't for you revealing Duan Yu's life background, I fear we father and son would have already fallen into the hands of thieves..."

"And the entire Dali royal family would be in danger of direct collapse!"

"Previously, Duan Yu was blind and did not know your painstaking efforts. Please do not hold it against me!"

After speaking, Duan Yu took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed them over respectfully.

"This is Duan Yu's divination fee. Please accept it, Mr. Su!"

Seeing that Duan Yu's mood had eased significantly, North Qiao Feng on the side also smiled knowingly.

After all, he came out this time to solve problems for his brother. Now that his brother is smiling again, how could he, as the big brother, not be happy?

So he also cupped his hands and said:

"North Qiao Feng also thanks Mr. Su!"

"Mr. Su persuaded my brother in just a few words, unlike me, North Qiao Feng, a rough man; I talked for a long time and it was useless!"

"In short, thank you, Mr. Su!"

"We brothers will take our leave now!"

After speaking, North Qiao Feng was about to leave with Duan Yu, but Su Hang waved his hand and said softly:

"Having finished with Young Master Duan..."

"Next, I must talk about you, Gang Leader North Qiao Feng..."
