One hundred and twenty-three

After a few days and nights of hurrying, Mu Zhijun finally returned to the Northern Lion Kingdom with a hundred people and Chen Tianyu, and on the way, Mu Zhijun told Chen Tianyu all the plans, Chen Tianyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worthy of King Jing!

Mu Zhijun is his master, friend, and most trusted person, and if the master wants to act, then she can only cooperate with Mu Zhijun to act.

As soon as Mu Zhijun entered the city, he saw Mu Yinlin guarding the door with soldiers. Seeing Mu Zhijun come back, Mu Yinlin smiled and congratulated: "His Royal Highness King Jing has returned with a great victory, congratulations, this hall is specially guarding the door to catch the wind and wash the dust for His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

Mu Zhijun chuckled, "King Ning bothered, the main hall has just returned to China, and after going back to freshen up, he will go to the court to see His Majesty, so I won't accompany King Ning to chat here." ”

Mu Yinlin's gaze fell on the hundred people behind Mu Zhijun, and she smiled evilly, "His Royal Highness King Jing's courage is really getting bigger and bigger. His Majesty only sent King Jing and General Chen to suppress the bandits, but King Jing brought these soldiers, King Jing disregarded the holy decree so much, did he no longer have His Majesty in his eyes? ”

"King Ning, this is just a loyal servant in His Highness's mansion who wants to repay His Highness, so he went into battle with His Highness to kill the enemy." Chen Tianyu explained

"Oh? Is it? Mu Yinlin's eyes carefully looked at these soldiers, the clothes on the soldiers' bodies were torn by the enemy during the battle in the Eastern Wilderness Country or were torn during the fight, and their eyes were full of joy after the battle. They had the wounds they had sustained in battle with the enemy, and the hot and bright red blood stained their clothes red, and the blood that could not be washed off was the best proof that they had shed their blood for the Northern Lion Country.

After a while, Mu Yinlin said leisurely, "I see that these soldiers are well-trained, and they don't look like ordinary slaves. Also, King Jing, aren't all your slaves scattered? Now in addition to you and your concubines, how can there be any slaves in King Jing's Mansion who are loyal to you and fight with you? ”

Mu Zhijun asked coldly: "Who told you that I led my troops to fight?" ”

Mu Yinlin smiled proudly: "Alas, King Jing, I really don't know, say you are pitiful?" Or are you stupid? Isn't that concubine the only thing you love the most? ”

Mu Zhijun said incredulously: "Qingfeng? ”

Mu Yinlin nodded, "You're not too stupid!" ”

Mu Zhijun smiled bitterly, his eyes were full of bitterness, "It's because I trust him so much, in the end, he betrayed me." Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to prevent! Defeat him, I admit it! ”

Mu Yinlin sighed lightly, "It's good to admit it." Mu Yinlin waved his hand, and the soldiers beside him went to take the hundred soldiers beside Mu Zhijun down.

Mu Zhijun said nervously: "Where are you going to take them?" ”

"Of course, he was imprisoned, King Jing ignored the holy decree, took troops privately, and went to the Eastern Wilderness to quell the rebellion, this is the first crime, the second crime, raising troops privately in King Jing's mansion, supporting the army and respecting himself, his heart can be punished. So, let's go, King Jing. ”

"Where are you going?" Mu Zhijun said forbearantly

Mu Yinlin ignored Mu Zhijun's expression and wrote lightly: "Naturally, I invite you and the general to meet the emperor!" The ministers in the court, but there are still excerpts to play! ”

Mu Zhijun sighed lightly and left with Mu Yinlin.

After Mu Yinlin entered the palace, the ministers all stood neatly on the main hall as usual. Mu Yue, who was sitting on the dragon chair, still looked high.

When everyone saw Mu Zhijun, they began to whisper again.

Chang Jingyi stepped forward, and after a salute, he respectfully bowed his waist and raised the music fold in his hand, and the palace slave beside Mu Yue saw it, walked over, took the music fold, and presented it to Mu Yue's royal table.

Chang Jingyi bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please see, this recital records all the crimes of King Jing. Sin 1, deceiving the king, ignoring the holy decree, speaking disrespectful words, having a heart of disobedience, sin 2, being close to the people, ignoring the king, having the heart of rebellion, sin 3, raising relatives privately, supporting the army and respecting himself, his heart can be punished. ”

As soon as Chang Jingyi finished explaining, the ministers all began to present the folds in turn, and the palace slaves and maids who were facing up walked one after another to take them and present them to the imperial table. There are many strange charges in it, and many unnecessary charges are detained on Mu Zhijun's head.

In the entire palace, the only one who did not present the fold to the emperor was Yu Can. And Mu Zhijun also understands that Yu Can doesn't hand over the fold because they still have that layer of in-law relationship, and on the surface, she still has to behave.

Mu Yue picked a few important ministers' folds and looked at them, and after a moment of silence, Mu Yue's voice sounded slowly, "King Jing, can you admit these charges?" ”

Mu Zhijun sneered, disheartened.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to add to the crime, why bother?" ”

Mu Yue snorted coldly, "King Jing, according to what you say, did I wronged you?" ”

Mu Zhijun's hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, she closed her eyes and sighed lightly, she was undoubtedly disappointed in Mu Yue, she opened her eyes and looked up at Mu Yue's cold-blooded and ruthless eyes, her eyes were dark and bottomless. There was a lot of murderous aura in it, and it was a murderous aura that wanted to put the king of admiration to death.

Mu Zhijun knew that it was useless to defend himself now, so he could only salute, gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Minister, don't dare!" ”

The murderous aura in Mu Yue's eyes eased a little, "Since King Jing has confessed, then go to the prison and ask for beheading in three days." ”

As soon as these words fell, the hearts of the ministers were full of joy. This obstacle was finally removed, and if it weren't for the court, where etiquette could not be lost, everyone would really celebrate and have a feast.

"Hahaha, hahaha......" Mu Zhijun laughed, laughing with five points of madness, three points of disappointment with the king, and two points of coldness.

Mu Zhijun looked at Mu Yue's eyes, word by word, and his voice was low and forbearing, "Your Majesty, I, Mu Zhijun, treat you loyally and charge for you, I have never had half a word of complaint." But in the end, I turned out to be just a chess piece in your hand, and when you use it, you will please me everywhere, and you will abandon it when you don't use it. You even want to kill me. ”

Chen Tianyu knelt down and saluted, pleading: "Your Majesty, you and King Jing are also biological blood and blood linked by blood, and they are born from the same root, so why are you in a hurry to fry each other?" Yes! ”

Mu Zhijun sighed lightly, "That's it, Tianyu, don't beg him, there is no family affection in the emperor's eyes, no matter how much you say today, it's just a lot of words." Mu Zhijun saluted Mu Yue, "Your Majesty, the minister can be captured, but the minister has two conditions. ”

"You say! Mu Yue said lukewarmly.

"First, let General Chen and Master Zhang go, they are innocent. They are loyal to His Majesty and are loyal and good generals of the Northern Lion Kingdom. ”

Mu Yue nodded, "Yes!" ”

"Second, release all the people in King Jing's mansion, I don't want anyone to accompany me to the funeral."

Mu Yue smiled a lot more ruthlessly, "No! ”

Mu Zhijun saluted, "Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about, they are powerless, and they will not cause a storm in the future, let alone pose a threat to Your Majesty." ”

Mu Yue glanced at Yu Can, "The second son of the Beiyu Marquis Mansion can be released, but everyone else has to be executed." ”

Yu Can knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

Mu Zhijun wanted to defend something more, but he heard Mu Yue order: "Come on, press King Jing down, and immediately put him in prison." Let Dali Siqing be interrogated in the prison, and King Jing must be allowed to confess his guilt and surrender to the law. ”

Under an order, six guards came up, they surrounded Mu Zhijun on the left and right, Mu Zhijun knelt down and solemnly saluted Mu Yue, in this salute is Mu Zhijun's disappointment with Mu Yue, his unwillingness, his dissatisfaction with the ministers, and the injustice of God.

Mu Zhijun smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, your wish is also the wish of the ministers." Your Majesty, after all, the king and His Majesty are compatriots, and the king advises you, slanderous and clever, sweet, loyal, and untrustworthy. Your Majesty, you have to remember. ”

After Mu Zhijun finished speaking, he got up and left without looking back.

After all the courtiers watched Mu Zhijun leave resolutely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this dangerous person finally disappeared into the court.

Just when the courtiers were about to discuss other matters, a guard hurriedly ran in, she knelt down and saluted, and reported in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not good, King Jing, King Jing injured the guards and fled......"

Mu Yue was shocked, "What? ”

The courtiers were even more terrified.

"Come on, find me, rummage through the entire Northern Lion Country, whether you live or die, you have to bring people back to me. If you dare to resist, there will be no forgiveness! Mu Yue ordered

The guard saluted, "Yes"

Then quickly retreat.

After the early dynasty dispersed, Mu Yinlin returned to the mansion and sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Zhang Nan's mansion in the dark. Day and night, guards in shifts.

In the Youyue Palace of the Yongchang Dynasty, there lived Li Concubine Niangniang. Her name is Dou Lina, she is Chun Yuzhao's mother, and her father is the brave general Dou Xiao.

At noon, in the courtyard of Youyue Palace, Concubine Li was waiting for Xiaoli, getting up from the bed, freshening up.

Chun Yu married her at the beginning, also because her father could better contribute to the country, since she gave birth to a son with the emperor, the emperor has not been to her palace for a long time.

After some grooming and dressing, her makeup is still gorgeous and luxurious. With a silver bracelet on his wrist, he is dressed up in flowers.

She gracefully walked to the jade table full of food, and after Xiaoli waited for her to take a seat, she waited for Dou Lina to have lunch.

Outside the door, a servant hurriedly walked in. She knelt in front of Dou Lina, "Niangniang, Concubine Liangniang is here." ”

"Let's go down!" Dou Lina replied casually

The servant saluted and hurriedly withdrew.

Xi Yan walked in, and she was followed by a servant, Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan is Xi Yan's personal servant.

Dou Lina got up and bowed to Xi Yan respectfully, "Concubine to Concubine Liang, please be safe!" ”

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Li both bowed to each other's masters and saluted each other.

Xiaoli, "The maid meets Concubine Liang!" ”

Xiaoyuan, "The maid meets Concubine Li!" ”

Xi Yan waved her hand and ordered, "You two go down!" ”

"No!" Xiaoli and Xiaoyuan said in unison.

After Xiaoli and Xiaoyuan retreated, only Xi Yan and Dou Lina were left in the room. And they retreated from everyone in two screens, and the scene of being alone in a room was being secretly lying on the roof, and Chun Yuyi, who lifted the bricks and tiles, saw it. Seeing Xi Yan coming to Dou Lina privately, a meaningful smile rose at the corner of Chun Yuyi's mouth.

It seems that someone has taken the lead in getting started. It's good that way, and I don't have to worry about it.

Chun Yuyi didn't continue to listen, so after restoring the bricks and tiles, he performed light skills and left quietly.

In the room, Xi Yan and Dou Lina sat opposite each other on chairs. After the servant served hot tea, snacks, melons and fruits, he withdrew.

When Xiao Yuan saw everyone retreating, she closed the palace gate tightly, and Xiao Nuan and Xiao Li guarded the door, not allowing anyone to approach.

In the house, Dou Lina picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and asked unhurriedly: "What is the matter with Concubine Liangniang looking for me, you might as well say it directly!" ”

Xi Yan chuckled, "Okay, Concubine Li is quick to talk, then I will be blunt." Now, the fall of the crown prince is a good time to fight, I don't believe you will not be moved, so why don't you and I join hands and get rid of all the stumbling blocks in the palace? ”

Dou Lina still smiled: "What about after getting rid of it?" Then come and pack up the concubines? ”

Xi Yan explained: "Neither the palace nor King Zhao has the position of the crown prince. You also know that this palace is just a small concubine in the Xi family, and she has no power at all. Xi Guogong wholeheartedly supports only my eldest sister, the queen is a kind-hearted person, sooner or later she will be pushed off the throne, the second prince is ruthless, and he is bent on winning the position of the prince, if he really becomes the prince, how can this palace and King Zhao still have a way to live? Not only the palace and King Zhao, you, including all the princes and concubines in the palace, will not end well. ”

Dou Lina sneered, "Who doesn't know, the three sisters of the Xi family are of one heart and one mind, and the mother said so much to the concubine today, how can the concubine know, is it true or false?" ”

"Everything this palace does is just for King Zhao to survive, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the second prince and the scheming concubine, this palace would not have come to you to cooperate. Li Concubine, heavenly family, no family affection, only interests. This palace hopes that you can think about what this palace said to you today, and this palace believes that it will not be long before the eldest sister of this palace will definitely come to Youyue Palace, if she comes by then, I believe that it will not be like this palace is now, and she will persuade you with good words. ”

Xi Yan said, stood up, turned to leave.

On the streets of the Northern Lion Kingdom, Mu Zhijun hid all the way to Tibet like a thief, only to see her bend around and slip to the back door of King Jing's mansion.

Mu Zhijun was just about to climb over the wall through the back door, but the door of the back door was suddenly opened, and ten masked black-clothed people came out of it. Mu Zhijun could see at a glance that these ten people were the secret guards in the palace.

After the ten black-clothed people saw Mu Zhijun, they knelt down on one knee, and the black-clothed man in the lead explained: "King Jing, we are sent by the master. ”

Mu Zhijun nodded, indicating that he already knew. After everyone stood up, Mu Zhijun ordered: "You should hide in the shadows first, and follow my instructions." ”

The leader saluted, "Yes!" ”

Then, the ten people disappeared in front of Mu Zhijun's eyes in an instant. After Mu Zhijun came in through the back door, the three of Nangong Yiqing in the house were already in a mess. are all thinking of ways to save the Lord of Mu.

Mu Zhijun saw Yu Yaorong, Nangong Yiqing and Qingfeng wandering around the courtyard, and walked over.

When the three of them saw Mu Zhijun, they were like seeing hope, and the big stone in their hearts was able to fall. I saw Qingfeng's worried tears.

"Wife!" Qingfeng ran over and hugged Mu Zhijun.

Mu Zhijun stroked his back and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry!" ”

The two hugged for a while before letting go.

"Wife, it's good that you're fine, otherwise, I'll ......" Yu Yaorong's eyes were red and he choked.

Nangong Yiqing was calm on the surface, but he was also frightened in his heart, and when he saw Mu Zhijun standing in front of him safely, he sighed, and his heart slowly calmed down.

"I'm fine, don't worry. By the way, what about Ninzi and Zhizhi? Mu Zhijun asked

Nangong Yiqing explained: "As soon as I heard that His Royal Highness was back, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I hired someone to send Nianzi back to King Yi's Mansion in advance." As for Zhizhi, I was afraid that he would be implicated, so I gave him a sum of money to let him go and find his freedom. ”

Mu Zhijun nodded, "Okay, now, you can't stay in King Jing's Mansion." Mu Zhijun said: "Now that the time is pressing, I will make a long story short, Yaorong, Your Majesty has pardoned your capital crime, you hurry back to the Nanyu Marquis Mansion, you can escape the catastrophe." Yiqing, when we go through the tunnel, after we go out, you can find a way to find General Chen, just say that I said it, and she will find a way to protect you. Mu Zhijun looked at Qingfeng, "As for you, follow me." You two must not hide in the same place, or if one is caught, the other will suffer. Do you understand everything? ”

Nangong Yiqing and Qingfeng both nodded, indicating that they understood, but Yu Yaorong retorted: "Wife, I don't want to go back to the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, I want to follow you." ”

Mu Zhijun stepped forward and took his hand and walked to the side. Mu Zhijun explained with a smile: "Yaorong, I know you want to share the joys and sorrows with me, I understand your intentions, but now is not the time to make trouble, it is difficult for me to hide alone with Qingfeng, if I bring you again, it will be easy to expose the target." ”

Yu Yaorong cried: "But, wife, I really, I really can't give up your ......"

Mu Zhijun stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Yu Yaorong's face.

"Hmm......"

This sudden kiss made Yu Yaorong suddenly feel a little overwhelmed. After the dragonfly dotted the water, Mu Zhijun whispered in Yu Yaorong's ear: "Yaorong, if you want to help me, after returning to Nanyuhou's mansion, you will find a way to collect evidence of Nanyuhou's crime, only by getting this evidence, can I clear my name and escape." ”

Yu Yaorong's heart trembled, "Yes, but my mother ......"

Mu Zhijun interrupted: "I said, me and your mother, you can only choose one. Either Nan Yuhou dies, or I die. Yaorong, I won't force you, you can choose yourself. ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Zhijun took Yu Yaorong's hand and walked over.

"Mu Yinlin will soon bring people to surround King Jing's Mansion, let's leave quickly." Mu Zhijun said, and left with the three of them.

In Weiyang Palace, Xi Yan and Chun Yuchuan sat opposite each other. Xi Yan was puzzled: "Chuan'er, you let me and Concubine Li say that, does it really work?" ”

Chun Yuchuan explained: "Don't worry, Concubine Li's mother is not an assertive person. If you warn him like this, she will definitely write to tell the King of Wei that the King of Wei is a dutiful son, and when he receives the letter, he will be afraid that Concubine Li will be threatened in the palace and hurry back. ”

Chun Yuchuan smiled and said with ill intentions: "As long as King Wei can come back, once he steps into this troubled water, he will not be able to stay out of it." ”

Outside, on the blooming white flowers, a colorful butterfly circles around the cobwebs on the flowers. The mesh is like a thin thread of color, and when it is illuminated by the daylight, it emits a colorful light. The butterfly was so enchanted by the web that it played around for a while, and when the butterfly was about to fly away, a small black poisonous spider covered it and tied it tightly to the web......
