Chapter 93: Ambiguity
Looking at Mu Feng's undecisive look, Wu Zongkui walked forward and whispered: "Young marshal, why not let the Peng family and Zhao family retreat to the northern territory first. Anyway, it's useless for them to stay here."
"Oh, is Jiaming back? How many people have they withdrawn?"
"Young Marshal, the Zhao family's troops are still on the way back to Dalin City at this moment. I heard that they have not lost many troops. By the way, the third young master is also with the Zhao family's brother and sister, and may arrive in Dalin City in one or two days."
After hearing Wu Zongkui's report, Mu Feng nodded and said, "When they come back, we will discuss the withdrawal of the northern territory. It's not a day or two anyway. By the way, I will marry Ouyang Shuo's daughter in a few days. I will leave this purchase to you. If you have any questions, ask my mother. I don't know much about the marriage."
Just as Mu Feng was preparing for his wedding, Mu Ye and Zhao Jiaming and others also came to Dalin City. When Mu Ye and the others learned that Mu Feng was about to get married, they couldn't help but be stunned. Zhou Tianhao said with anger, "My father died in front of him and fought bloody battles. Unexpectedly, he was still in the mood to get married here, hum."
Hearing Zhou Tianhao's complaints, Mu Ye's face was also very ugly. He patted Zhou Tianhao on the shoulder and said, "We don't have to pay attention to these things. After we get the food and supplies, we will leave here and go back to the northern border."
At this moment, Mu Ye had no intention of attending Mu Feng's wedding. He had another important thing to do when he came to Dalin City, which was to convince Peng Mingzhong to join his camp.
In fact, Mu Ye was not sure about persuading Peng Mingzhong, but he still wanted to give it a try. After he arranged Zhou Tianhao and Zhao Jiaming, he went directly to the Peng family's camp. The Peng family's camp was located at the north gate of Dalin City, close to Mu Ye and his camp, which was also a camping site specially set up for them by Mu Feng.
When Peng Mingzhong learned that Mu Ye was visiting him, he seemed to have thought of something. So after he invited Mu Ye into his tent, he smiled and said, "San Young Master, if you come back one day late, I might have to withdraw my fiefdom. I wonder what the Third Young Master has to ask me for?"
Mu Ye has learned about Peng Mingzhong's character from Zhou Ye, so he said directly without taking any turns: "Uncle Peng, General Zhou has already sacrificed his life in Kuishui City. I don't need to say more about who this is caused. I came to Uncle Peng today to get your support. Now the Zhou family and the Zhao family have both stood on my side. In order to make more people live, I must fight for the position of the head coach. I wonder if Uncle Peng can help me?"
"San Young Master, now is not the time to have a dispute, and the northern territory cannot withstand the tossing. Otherwise, if the old guy Xiahou Bo takes advantage of the opportunity, we will all be done."
"Uncle Peng, don't worry, I won't let the northern border mess up. I just need to let my elder brother abdicate and give in to the wise."
Mu Ye's words immediately made Peng Mingzhong understand. The third young master was preparing to warn his elder brother. It seemed that the illegitimate son of the Mu family was also a person who was unwilling to be lonely.
After Peng Mingzhong understood Mu Ye's ambition, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Logically speaking, Mu Junchen should have inherited his position as the eldest son after his death, but the actions of this eldest son are indeed a bit disappointing, and the head coach also has to bear the main responsibility for the failure of this Eastern Expedition.
Seeing Peng Mingzhong's hesitation, Mu Ye took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Peng Mingzhong and said, "Uncle Peng, this letter was passed on to you by General Zhou. He hopes that you can make the right choice for my father."
When Peng Mingzhong took the letter again, he read it seriously. After a while, he put down the letter and said, "San Young Master, I understand what you mean, but the lady's level is not easy. Moreover, there are people from the Wu family who are supporting him. It is not easy for you to seize this position of commander. Even if our Peng family is willing to support the third young master to take office, it is not the time for civil strife now. I hope the third young master can put the overall situation first."
After hearing Peng Mingzhong's words, Mu Ye finally understood that this guy was a self-protection leader, and it was not easy to let him stand on the side. Moreover, the head of the Peng family spoke in a slight manner, neither opposed nor supported. It seemed that he planned to remain neutral. But this was good. As long as the Peng family did not stand on the opposite side, he would be half sure to deal with Mu Feng. If he had the support of his second uncle, he would definitely be confident that he would have the position of coaching.
After coming out of Peng Mingzhong's camp, Mu Ye did not go to see Mu Feng, but returned directly to the camp of Zhao and Zhou families. As soon as he walked into his tent, he saw Zhou Tianhao and Zhao Jiaming waiting for him there. At this moment, he heard Zhou Tianhao say, "Lord, what did he say Uncle Peng?"
Mu Ye smiled and replied, "Uncle Peng chose neutrality, which means that he did not help each other. But this is a good thing. As long as we grab the position of coach, he will naturally surrender to us. The most troublesome thing now is the Wu family. However, after returning to the northern border, I will go to the camp of the man in black. As long as I can get the support of my second uncle, this matter will be basically done."
Looking at Mu Ye's confident look, Zhou Tianhao and Zhao Jiaming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as everyone was about to return to the northern border, Mu Ye was called by Tie Wenying and said, "Oye, a few days will be the day for your elder brother to get married. I hope you can stay and attend your elder brother's wedding before going back."
Mu Ye thought about it and nodded and agreed. After all, he and Mu Feng were brothers, and he should have stayed to watch the ceremony when his elder brother got married. However, the wedding was held in a hurry, so there were not many people present. Except for the people from the Wu family, the others were all the confidant generals and schoolmen around Mu Feng. The Zhou family, the Zhao family and the Peng family retreated to the northern territory one after another, and the only ones who were really staying were the Wu family and Mu Feng themselves.
The more than a thousand cavalry teams led by Mu Ye were also sent to the fiefdom of the Zhou family. This time the Zhou family suffered heavy losses, so Mu Ye entrusted the more than a thousand cavalry teams to Zhou Tianhao, which could be regarded as helping Zhou Tianhao increase some troops.
On the day Mu Feng got married, there was laughter everywhere in Dalin City. Today, Ouyang Shuo, the city lord, married his daughter, so many wealthy families in Dalin City were invited to attend the wedding. Mu Ye, a member of the Mu family, also put on a new suit and hung his greedy wolf knife on his waist. But when he just walked out of the yard, he saw a carriage parked outside the door, and several soldiers stood next to the carriage.
When these soldiers saw Mu Ye coming out, a captain immediately walked up and said respectfully: "San Young Master, we are from the Wu family. We are here to pick up the Third Young Master to attend the Young Marshal's wedding. At the same time, our head also prepared a carriage for the Third Young Master, so that it can better show that your identity is noble."
After hearing the words of the lieutenant, Mu Ye always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while. However, seeing the people of the Wu family so attentively, he always felt that nothing would be good. So he immediately refused and said, "I am not used to riding a carriage, and I don't like someone following me. I appreciate the kindness of your head. I will ride my own horse to the wedding later." As he said that, Mu Ye walked towards the horse shed.
After hearing Mu Ye's words, the lieutenant of the Wu family changed his face and said, "San Young Master, it seems a bit bad for you to ride a war horse to attend the wedding. There are many guests present today, and you are the young marshal's younger brother, so you won't lose the young marshal's face."
