Inside the barracks, there was a lot of noise.

The three night crows were already close to Su Changyu's side.

The general has been surveying the terrain outside for a while, handing over military affairs to Su Changyu, and leaving three night crows to assist Su Changyu.

The night crows are all guards around the general, and their riding and archery skills are naturally outstanding, and these people are stationed in Woye Town all the year round to train soldiers and horses, and the task they left behind was to assist Su Changyu in training these cavalry more rigorously.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the camp, and the three night crows also knew that something was wrong.

Su Changyu and the three night crows are all guards under the general, they are both comrades-in-arms and brothers, seeing that the situation is not good, they naturally want to protect Su Changyu, even if the other party is overwhelming, the night crows are also calm and comfortable, and they are not flustered.

Su Changyu raised his hand, and everyone's voices quieted down.

"Yuwen Chengchao, have those military funds been transported back to Kyoto?" Su Changyu knew that tonight's incident was directly related to Yuwen Chengchao, and if he wanted to calm down the chaos, he must first stabilize Yuwen Chengchao.

Yuwen Chengchao accompanied the old Marquis of Yuwen to Kyoto, and the old Marquis was killed on the way, but Yuwen Chengchao's whereabouts are unknown.

The general sent people to look for Yuwen Chengchao, but there has been no news.

This person's sudden appearance tonight is very abnormal.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, the old department of the Yuwen family suddenly made a difficulty, of course, this is not a temporary intention, Su Changyu knows in his heart that tonight's change must have conspiracy in advance, Yuwen Chengchao has already secretly contacted Yuan Shangyu and other former ministers of the Yuwen family.

It's just that these people are extremely secretive, and they don't even notice it at all.

Yuwen Chengchao said: "At present, all the military assets are hoarded in the post house of Fengganfu City, and there are heavy guards, and when the Zhen family's property is confiscated, all these gold and silver belongings will be transported away." ”

Su Changyu sneered: "Since the property is still in Xiling, what evidence do you have to prove that those property must be transported to Kyoto?" Where did you find out? ”

"General Zhonglang, I don't argue with you." Yuwen Chengchao said lightly: "The imperial court has decreed before, General Hei Yu is responsible for all military affairs in Xiling, and the money and grain are raised by the Metropolitan Protectorate. Because of this, all the military funds donated by the Yuwen family were paid into the warehouse of the Imperial Palace. Now the eunuchs from Kyoto have transferred all the donated goods to the post house, so why? There are thousands of soldiers here, the general is not in the camp, and the general Zhonglang represents the general, are you telling the truth, or are you going to deceive everyone? ”

Su Changyu's face was cold.

The general naturally did not want those military funds to be transported back to Kyoto, so he was very dissatisfied with Pei Shiqing, and his positions were also opposite.

But at this time, Yuwen Chengchao's words had already made the soldiers mistakenly think that the general and Pei Shiqing were in collusion.

Of course, Su Changyu knew that since Yuwen Chengchao dared to stand up, he naturally had evidence in his hands, and if he said that there was no such thing, Yuwen Chengchao would definitely come up with evidence, and then the soldiers would think that they were deliberately concealing it, and the misunderstanding would only deepen.

"People from Kyoto do have plans to bring back military supplies, but the general did not agree." Su Changyu finally said: "As long as the general doesn't agree, no one can take a copper coin from Xiling." ”

"Good!" Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "The general is wise." General Zhonglang, let me ask again, is it the intention of the imperial court or Pei Shiqing's personal intention to transport away military funds? Is it that the imperial court wants to give up Xiling, or is Pei Shiqing hiding from the imperial court to enrich his own pockets? ”

Su Changyu sneered in his heart

, but I have to admit that Yuwen Chengchao's words are extremely powerful.

Once it is recognized as the intention of the imperial court, the imperial court's abandonment of Xiling will inevitably cause the anger of all the soldiers, and with the instigation of Yuwen Chengchao, the mutiny will inevitably be difficult to stop.

The soldiers also began to stir up.

"The imperial court will not give up Xiling." Suddenly, a person said in a deep voice: "The saint is wise and wise, how can he leave the millions of soldiers and civilians in Xiling behind?" I saw a person coming out of the crowd, dressed in black armor, it was Mo Cangxing.

Mo Cangxing was originally the commander of the Fan cavalry, and after the reorganization of the three cavalry, the general entrusted him with an important task, and Mo Cangxing commanded the right battalion of the cavalry.

Yuan Shangyu and others are the old department of the Yuwen family, and they have obviously secretly contacted Yuwen Chengchao in advance, and tonight's change, this group of people is bound to have the same position as Yuwen Chengchao and stand on the same front.

Mo Cangxing is the commander of Fan Qi, not the old department of the Yuwen family, Su Changyu saw him stand up, and he couldn't figure out his mind for a while.

"That's what Commander Mo said." Yuwen Cheng bowed his head and said: "I also think that the imperial court will not abandon Xiling, otherwise how can I explain it to the people of the world?" ”

Mo Cang walked forward and bowed his hand to Su Changyu and said: "General Zhonglang, Pei Shiqing transported military funds from the Duhu Mansion, this is a fact, as the eldest prince said, Pei Shiqing did this, there are only two possibilities, one is under the orders of the imperial court, and the other is to make claims." I and all the soldiers believe that the imperial court will not issue such a ridiculous will, so the only possibility is that Pei Shiqing will fill his own pockets without concealing it from the imperial court. ”

Su Changyu said: "The general will always give you an explanation for this matter, without a military order, gather without authorization, do you treat military law as nothing?" ”

"Nakaro won't have to be angry." Mo Cangxing said: "Everyone came together, just because they didn't want Xiling to repeat the mistakes of the past. He raised his hand in the direction of Heiyang City and said coldly: "As far as I know, Pei Shiqing came to attend the birthday banquet today, and now he is in Heiyang City. Taking advantage of one's power to enrich one's own pockets and take military assets for one's own purposes must be severely punished. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him said: "Yes, possessing military funds is a great crime, and we can't spare him." ”

"General Zhonglang, now we will go to the city and arrest the eunuch." Mo Cangxing said loudly: "Then the general will show the court the guilt of Eunuch Pei, and wait for the court to fall." ”

Yuan Shangyu immediately said: "General Zhonglang, that's it." Lead a troop of men and horses into the city to catch the thieves! He raised his hand and said, "Please!" ”

Su Changyu said coldly: "You two are the commanders of the left and right battalions, and the general is very important to you, in addition to your own ability, it is also because you have always commanded the soldiers and horses and know that the military regulations are strict." The general has a military order, and without his order, not a single soldier or soldier can be mobilized without authorization, have you forgotten? ”

"It's an extraordinary time." Yuan Shangyu said in a deep voice: "General Zhonglang also saw what Pei Shiqing did, the sky was angry and resentful, all the soldiers were angry, if this matter cannot be solved quickly, no one will have a good time on this Chinese New Year's Eve." We mobilized 500 cavalry, and General Bei and Commander Mo followed General Zhonglang into the city, and after entering the city, we immediately arrested Pei Shiqing and controlled him in the barracks. ”

Su Changyu's face was cold, and he said lightly: "What if I don't agree?" ”

"If Zhonglang General really doesn't agree, then please stay in the tent, and the last general will take people to do it." Mo Cangxing didn't wait for Su Changyu to speak, and said directly to Yuan Shangyu: "Commander Yuan, the military camp will be handed over to you, and the eldest prince and I will lead troops into the city to get the thieves." ”

"Okay." Yuan Shangyu simply agreed.

Su Changyu had already determined at this time that tonight's change was not only involving Yuwen Chengchao and his old department, but Mo Cangxing was obviously also involved.

He was not only angry, but also annoyed.

These people are right under their noses, but they have not been able to detect their private movements, and the crime of negligence is inexcusable.

"Who would dare to act without my military order?" Su Changyu clenched the knife, his eyes cold.

Yuwen Chengchao stared at Su Changyu and said coldly: "General Zhonglang, not only did you lead everyone to catch the thief, but also prevented us from going, I want to ask, why are you so sheltering Eunuch Pei?" Could it be that the purpose of your coming to Xiling is to help Eunuch Pei sweep away Xiling's belongings, right? ”

"Yuwen Chengchao, you have no official or position, you entered the military camp without permission, and incited people's hearts, are you guilty?" Su Changyu pulled out his sword from its sheath, pointed at Yuwen Chengchao, and said coldly: "What qualifications do you have to give orders here?" ”

Yuwen Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed: "My father was killed, and there is evidence to prove that you were behind it. I can ignore the family feud for the time being, but as a Xiling man, someone wants to suck the blood of Xiling and ignore the millions of soldiers and civilians in Xiling, if I turn a blind eye, what face will I have to live between heaven and earth? General Zhonglang, tonight's incident is because of me, as long as you can lead everyone to capture Eunuch Pei and leave all the military funds in Xiling, I can promise everyone that I will die and apologize for my sins when the time comes. ”

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

The soldiers behind him raised their arms and shouted, and in the cold night, the sound spread far away.

Seeing this, Su Changyu knew that the officers and soldiers in the army were instigated by Yuwen Chengchao, and if they couldn't solve Pei Shiqing's matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But what he was most worried about at the moment was the general.

Mo Cangxing is the old department of the Fan family, and tonight has changed, since Mo Cangxing is involved, it is impossible for Fan Ziqi not to know.

If Mo Cangxing was instructed by Fan Ziqi to be involved in this mutiny with his subordinates, then not only the situation in the military camp is dangerous, but the situation in the city is bound to be even more dangerous.

Including the general and the Xiling Protector Yao Mubai and others are now attending a banquet in Heiyang City, and the general is accompanied by only a dozen night crows.

And the entire Fan County is the territory of the Fan family, and Heiyang City is the heart of the Fan family.

Once the Fan family has ill intentions towards the general, the general's current situation will be unprecedentedly dangerous.

The top priority at the moment is to make every effort to protect the safety of the general.

"Good!" Su Changyu's voice suddenly raised: "Let's enter the city to catch thieves!" He was full of energy, and although the sound of the soldiers was like thunder, this voice still passed through.

Mo Cangxing and Yuan Shangyu said at the same time: "Zhonglang will be wise!" ”

"You two stay in the camp." Su Changyu said: "I personally led three hundred horsemen into the city to catch the thief, and after taking Pei Shiqing, I immediately sent someone to the military camp to imprison him." ”

Mo Cangxing shook his head and said: "General Zhonglang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I entered the city to catch thieves, and it would be better for me and Commander Yuan to go with you." Xiang Yuan Shangyu said: "Commander Yuan, you sit in the military camp, and I will accompany Zhonglang General into the city to catch thieves!" He said to Yuwen Chengchao: "Eldest prince, you have evidence that Pei Shiqing has filled his pockets, and you have to work hard for you to enter the city with us." ”

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "You should follow." ”

Only then did Mo Cangxing turn around and order: "Come here, order three hundred cavalry, and we will follow Zhonglang General to catch the thief." ”
