Chapter 354: Clearing Grievances
On weekdays, because of the relationship between Baili Yunzheng, Li Chuxia was quite preferential in the army, and she cooked to improve the food for the soldiers from time to time, so everyone respected her.
Ye Cheng was already dissatisfied with Baili Yunzheng often overriding him, and for various reasons, Ye Cheng snorted coldly in disgust and said: "How can a woman talk in the barracks, isn't this a mess!" ”
Li Chuxia wanted to say more, but Mu Jin grabbed her cuffs and signaled her not to argue with Ye Cheng.
Now Ye Cheng is almost blinded by his own selfishness, how can he still listen to it.
Lang Qi watched from the side for a long time, and vaguely felt the crux of the problem in his heart, so he stood up and said to Ye Cheng: "This matter is extraordinary, since some people feel wronged, then we must find out, General Ye, I have a way." ”
"What's the solution?" Ye Cheng had a good impression of Lang Qi, and he listened to what he said.
Lang Qi pointed to Mu Jin and the deputy general, "Mu Jin and the deputy general both said that it was a letter from the other party, and the letter here is also there, as long as you compare the handwriting of the two, you can see who is the traitor." ”
Lang Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the deputy general with a smile, the deputy general was a little panicked, not knowing whether the other party blew himself up, or if he was really sure.
But in any case, this handwriting is incomparable, "General Ye, you have to listen to this person's nonsense, he and Mu Jin are in the same group, of course, he is speaking for Mu Jin." ”
"Besides, now that the evidence is conclusive, they just want to delay a little time and find a way to save people."
The adjutant general blushed, his tone was eager, and he couldn't wait to say that Ye Cheng would immediately order Mu Jin to be corrected on the spot.
"The adjutant general is in such a hurry, is he afraid that the truth will be exposed?" Lang Qi flicked his sleeves and mocked.
"Who's scared? It is clear that you want to take the opportunity to exonerate Mu Jin and not disturb the morale of the army here. ”
Lang Qi was so angry by the adjutant general's remarks that he laughed out loud, it seemed that the other party was toasting and not eating and drinking.
"A few days ago, when I couldn't sleep and came out for a walk, I saw the deputy general sneaking a message, how do you explain it?"
The adjutant general was even more panicked when he heard this, he thought that what he was doing was unaware, but he didn't expect to be seen.
At this time, the deputy general had only one thought in his mind, that is, he must not expose himself, but under Lang Qi's layers of questioning, he had lost his ability to think, and he couldn't say a word with his mouth open.
Seeing that the deputy general was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Lang Qi immediately smiled contemptuously and said to Ye Cheng, "General Ye, this matter is full of suspicions, and I hope you can adjudicate fairly." ”
Ye Cheng didn't miss the lieutenant general's panicked performance, and he also had a bottom in his heart, he ignored the lieutenant general's gaze begging for mercy, and asked people to bring two pairs of pen and paper, "Since Lang Gongzi has said so, it really can't be said without comparing the handwriting, okay, you two will write it yourself according to the words on the letter." ”
The lieutenant held the brush, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Mu Jin had copied a copy early, and his handwriting was clear and delicate, completely different from the scribbled handwriting on the letterhead.
At this time, the adjutant general's face was already pale, and cold sweat the size of mung beans flowed down his cheeks, and his weak and frightened appearance was clearly a ghost in his heart.
At the urging of Mu Jin and Lang Qi, the deputy general gritted his teeth and began to copy, although the pen was weak, but it could be seen that it was exactly the same as the letter.
"General Ye, it seems that you have really wronged Mu Jin." Baili Yunzheng said loudly, and the soldiers who were originally around Mu Jin and were ready to capture him at any time also dispersed under Baili Yunzheng's signal.
The deputy general slipped to the ground like a loss of strength, and then suddenly came back to his senses and crawled forward a few steps forward to hug Ye Cheng's legs, "General! General, help me! I didn't do it, they wronged me! ”
Ye Cheng was upset, and pushed his leg away from the lieutenant's hand, with a black face.
He was actually used as an arrow by a small lieutenant general, and he made a joke in front of so many people, where would he have a good face for the lieutenant.
Baili Yunzheng asked people to put the deputy general up, "As the deputy general of the first army, not only did you not think about how to win the battle, but instead committed the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Look at the brothers around you, if your letter is really sent, maybe the one who dies on the scene is the good brother who gets along with you day and night! ”
The adjutant general's face was pale, and Baili Yunzheng's words exploded in his ears like a giant thunder, but he didn't have the heart to think about it, he only knew that he really couldn't survive this time.
"And General Ye, you don't listen to Mu Jin's explanation, you don't want to investigate the truth, and blindly conclude that he is a criminal, can you still afford this negligence?"
Ye Cheng's face was extremely ugly, he was also blinded by the words of the deputy general, and he only wanted to put Mu Jin to death, but now that he came back to his senses, he realized how much he had made a mistake.
Baili Yunzheng's face was cold and serious, with his hands behind his back, holding the posture of a superior person.
"General Ye, about your dereliction of duty this time, I will tell the emperor to let him decide, and you should reflect on yourself before the emperor's order comes down!"
"Wait!" Mu Jin's slightly green voice sounded and stood up.
Ye Cheng stared at him, thinking that he must have felt that his punishment was lighter, so he came to give Baili Yunzheng an idea and let Baili Yunzheng be punished more heavily.
Ye Cheng estimated that whether he could keep the position of general this time was a little hanging.
Baili Yunzheng looked at Mu Jin puzzled, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.
Mu Jin cleared his throat, and the crisp young voice sounded, "General Ye is also anxious about the affairs in the army, after all, it is terrible for this information to be transmitted, so this is a little anxious." In my opinion, General Ye did a bad thing with good intentions, and he would not be guilty of dereliction of duty. ”
After finishing speaking, not only Baili Yunzheng, but even Ye Cheng stared at Mu Jin in disbelief.
No one expected that Mu Jin would intercede for Ye Cheng, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down, waiting for the next step of Baili Yunzheng's reply.
Baili Yunzheng frowned in a tangled manner, but Mu Jin's expression was serious and did not mean to lie at all, and finally sighed and said that he would no longer tell the emperor, but hoped that Ye Cheng would not be gullible in the future.
A big drama ended like this, the deputy general was imprisoned, and Ye Cheng privately found Mu Jin and apologized for the narrow-minded things he had done before.
Unlike Baili Yunzheng's side, because of the loss of generals, the morale of the enemy army was low, and even if he was unwilling, he could only withdraw with the rest of the army.
They don't want to lose the rest of the people, so they still have to save some strength so that they can prepare for another counterattack in the future.
Baili Yunzheng stood on a high place, witnessing the enemy army retreating as if it had fled, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.
Li Chuxia and Mu Jin both told him that he was the patron saint of the Cloud Kingdom and an invincible god of war, but that was before he lost his memory. Now that he has finally defeated the enemy army, he has the recognition that he is the god of war.
Mu Jin appeared behind him, looking at Baili Yunzheng, who had distant eyes, and did not make a sound to disturb the other party, and walked in front of the other party for a while before he walked in front of the other party and said: "Uncle Baili, the enemy army has finally surrendered, the task assigned to you by Emperor Mingde has been completed, and you will return to the capital next." ”
"Go back?" Baili Yunzheng choked up, he didn't seem to have thought about what to do after returning to the capital, he had lost his past memories, there were many familiar people in the capital, and if he was discovered, the consequences would be a little serious.
Mu Jin saw the other party's worries and comforted, "Don't worry, Aunt Chu Xia and I will help you, but...... I still hope that Uncle Baili can recover his memory soon. ”
Baili Yunzheng didn't answer, but he thought of Li Chuxia in his heart, obviously they used to be a loving husband and wife, but now the relationship between the two has become awkward because of his amnesia.
I hope I can recover my memory soon and restore the intimacy between the two of them.
After returning to the camp, Baili Yunzheng discussed it with Ye Cheng and felt that without further ado, he should return to Beijing immediately.
Along the way, wherever there are towns, Baili Yunzheng has been respected by the people, and the scenery from the border pass to the capital is infinite.
Emperor Mingde had already received the news of Baili Yunzheng's triumphant return, and his plan was not successful, which made him angry, even if some ministers mentioned the victory in the early dynasty, Emperor Mingde also snorted coldly a few times, very unhappy.
The day when Baili Yunzheng returned to Beijing was getting closer and closer, and Emperor Mingde could only greet him in person in order to show his generosity, but in fact, he had already broken Baili Yunzheng's corpse countless times in his heart.
On this day, the capital was extremely sunny, and Baili Yunzheng rode on a tall horse and led his army slowly pacing in from the city gate. The streets were surrounded by ordinary people, everyone wanted to see the heroic appearance of the god of war, and many daughters' families secretly promised their hearts when they saw the handsome Baili Yunzheng.
When Emperor Mingde arrived at the meeting place, Baili Yunzheng had not yet arrived, and before he waited for a while, he heard that a eunuch had come to report that General Baili was coming.
Emperor Mingde squinted, and sure enough, not long after the eunuch finished speaking, Baili Yunzheng and his party appeared in his sight, even if Emperor Mingde was unwilling, he had to pull up his stiff face and show a smile.
"Chen Baili Yunzheng participates in the emperor."
Baili Yunzheng jumped off the horse and saluted Emperor Mingde.
"Flat, General Baili won the battle, and he really deserves to be the patron saint of the Cloud Kingdom." Emperor Mingde almost gritted his teeth and said this.
But Baili Yunzheng didn't seem to be unhappy when he heard this, and continued, "It's not my credit alone, without the cooperation of the soldiers, I can't win alone." ”
Emperor Mingde looked strange and replied stiffly, "Really? It seems that General Baili gets along very well in the army. ”
"The minister just tells the truth, and he doesn't dare to claim to be a hero." Baili Yunzheng still replied calmly.
Emperor Mingde looked at Baili Yunzheng puzzled, just a few words had already made him realize that Baili Yunzheng seemed to be a little different from before, he still remembered that the other party was threatened by himself when he went to the border, and he also made a lot of stumbling blocks when he was fighting. Now the other party's attitude is not respectful, but it is not against himself as before.
This Baili Yunzheng went out to fight, how could his personality have changed a little, Emperor Mingde's heart was full of doubts.
Baili Yunzheng still looked indifferent, and he didn't dodge in the face of Emperor Mingde's scrutiny.
After everyone arrived, Emperor Mingde waved his hand and led everyone into the palace to wash the dust for them.
