FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 2513  Long Qian Xing and Song Chuan’s Conversation (2)

Mu Family suffered in the hands of Feng Ao Kuai?

Hearing the familiar name, Long Qian Xing remembered that Feng Ao Kuai’s wife seemed to be surnamed Mu. But she was not General Mu’s daughter but his niece and their relationship was not very good.

After all, General Mu cut off his relationship with the rest of the Mu Family when something bad happened many years ago.

As for what happened afterwards, Long Qian Xing was not very clear but he knew that the Mu Family was destroyed. Oh, right, it was that girl who came to Nan Hua to ask for help and allowed her to meet with Emperor Yang Zhou to present the evidences. Through that method, the Mu Family was destroyed.

General Mu was unscathed along with that girl and her small family. The rest were all suffering a lot.

“Did he made a move against General Mu?” Long Qian Xing asked another question. “Not directly, but he made sure that General Mu will not disturb his and his wife’s life,” Song Chuan replied. If he had to say, Feng Ao Kuai was really ruthless and didn’t allow anything bad to happen to his wife at all.

But it was normal.

Who would like to watch their wife being bullied by others?

Song Chuan knew that most men would definitely not want their wife being bullied by others.

Except themselves.

*cough*

That was another matter altogether.

“I see.” Long Qian Xing nodded, not surprised.

He had seen General Mu and knew that this was a person with great ambitions. Unfortunately, his two sons didn’t seem to be capable enough to carry his ambitions forward and their current position was a bit awkward.

However, Long Qian Xing didn’t pay much attention to the Mu Family.

After all, the Long Family didn’t have much interaction with the Mu Family. If there was anyone among them who have more interactions, that would be Nan Hua.

But Nan Hua herself would not meddle in other people’s business easily.

She knew very well that the cause of death for many people was because they were too meddlesome in other people’s lives. This was especially true in her line of work in her previous life, so Nan Hua has always been very careful in her actions.

Right now, Nan Hua had a relatively comfortable life.

She didn’t want to poke other people’s hornet nest.

“Well, the Mu Family in the first place has a lot of background. After all, General Mu active on the same period of time as your grandfather and father. During that period of time, he had made a lot of achievements so that he could become a general and accumulated a lot of wealth.”

Song Chuan paused for a moment.

Speaking about wealth…

He had just remembered that the Mu Family seemed to be very rich. For Mu Sheng Shuang, who was originally unfavored in the Mu Family, to be able to get a good foothold in Cheng City, it was certain that General Mu paid a lot of prices.

And when Song Chuan made some investigation, he also find out some things.

“General Mu used to be working under His Majesty’s father’s order and during that period of time, he had accumulated a lot of money. This money is the main basis why Mu Sheng Shuang can gain foothold in the court,” Song Chuan continued. “But you don’t have to worry too much, he didn’t have much actual power there.”

With Song Chuan’s deliberate control over the court, the power that Mu Sheng Shuang held in his hand was actually not much.

If anything, Mu Sheng Shuang was more like a vase in the court with little actual power.

It would not be possible for Mu Sheng Shuang to rise higher than his current rank.

“With his ambition, I thought he’ll go to the new capital city.” Long Qian Xing sighed and felt that the water in Cheng City is still very deep and muddy. Song Chuan smiled faintly. “He has already spent a lot to gain foothold in Cheng City, how can he abandon it immediately? Besides, he only has two sons, each had taken different path. But I’m quite sure that Commander Mu will be stationed near the new capital city in the future.”

The assignment for these generals were usually depend on themselves and their agreement with each other. But for the commanders, they would still have to follow orders from the generals.

General Mu might pay someone so that he could arrange his son in the more comfortable position.

If Mu Sheng Xi could stay around the new capital city, he would be able to slowly integrate into the city and possibly gain more power there. In that way, General Mu’s hope to allow his family to rise would be realized.

But is it really that easy?

Long Qian Xing knew very well how Emperor Yang Zhou actually controlled the power in the court. Some people might not notice but he had seen how Emperor Yang Zhou had his people to maintain the situation in the court and made sure that no one could surpass his authority.

And their power should never be allowed to threaten him.

Otherwise, he might fall into the embarrassing situation similar to the time when he was young and the power was in the hand of the prime minister. “Power through the court and military are different,” Long Qian Xing said slowly. “He’s just going to make things difficult for himself.”

“Everyone’s ambitions are different,” Song Chuan replied calmly. “It’s not my place to comment about his actions, but I can say for sure that he’s not content with his current situation. For this reason, I classified the Mu Family to be on the same rank as the Long Family and the rest.”

They have the wealth, enough to turn some things into their favor.

But Long Qian Xing was not very optimistic about the Mu Family because he knew very well that Emperor Yang Zhou hated those who bought position with money.
