Chapter 49: Many obstacles

Time flies, and the news of Muhua's army's victory in the first battle reached Kyoto two days later, and the whole country celebrated. Although the reputation of the bloodthirsty general made Mu Hua unpopular with the people, the news of each victory made him a hero in the hearts of the people.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty naturally fell to Mu Hua's side, and they all said good things about Mu Hua to the emperor above the court. The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the Yaoguang Kingdom did not defeat the Tianshu Kingdom, then where should the face of their great country go?

Seeing everyone's praise for Mu Hua, Mu Chun was already angry, and what made him even more angry was that even the prime minister said all the good things about Mu Hua in front of the emperor.

"Shi Du, what do you mean?" Back in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, he yelled at Shi Du angrily, "My father didn't hold Mu Hua accountable for the rebellion last time, and now you say good things for him." ”

I saw that Shi Jue still looked disapplieving, and waited until Mu Chun's anger was vented before he spoke: "The fifth prince, please calm your anger, you have also seen the situation in the court today, if I and the ministers are not in agreement, it will not be good." ”

"Hmph. Mu Chun sneered, "I knew that you ministers were grass on the wall, and you couldn't rely on any of them......

Before Mu Chun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Jie, "I'm afraid that the five princes can't see it really, you said that the emperor didn't hold Mu Hua responsible, so why do you think Mu Hua's message of plotting against us and usurping power started?"

This made Mu Chun startled, and then thought that Mu Hua didn't seem to be tracking down these rumors, if it wasn't for the emperor's intentions, presumably the person who spread the rumors would have died in Mu Hua's hands.

Seeing that Mu Chun understood a little, Shi Jue sneered slightly: "King Guangping has already achieved great achievements, and the more he wins the battle now, the more jealous the emperor is of him, but this kind of jealousy needs someone to remind the emperor ......" Halfway through his words, he looked at Mu Chun.

The two glanced at each other, already understanding each other's intentions, Mu Chun smiled: "It's worthy of being the prime minister, it's really scheming, I know what to do." ”

After defeating the people of Tianshuguo, Mu Hua's army came to the border very smoothly, and Ram Shen had already led his army to push to the outside of Yaoguang Kingdom, and now at the border, Mu Hua couldn't even see the army of Tianshu Kingdom.

"I guess those people have already been scared by us. The adjutant general said with a smile on the side, "The general is really like a god with soldiers." ”

However, Mu Hua's face was not good-looking at this time, he had already repaired a few letters to the imperial court to ask for grain and grass support, but now he has not received a response.

"How many days can our grain and grass last?" Mu Hua frowned, although they had already let the people of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom see the power of the Yaoguang Kingdom, but if they knew that their army was actually short of food and grass, the Heavenly Pivot Nationals would definitely not let go of this good opportunity to attack, and their chances of victory would be greatly weakened.

The grain and grass officer was a little embarrassed, "It's been less than half a month." Mu Hua knew that this was still the number after the grain and grass official made a false report, and the current grain and grass were afraid that they would not be able to maintain it for even ten days.

Mu Hua didn't speak, he was waiting, and he was also giving the emperor another chance, hoping that the emperor could be wiser now and focus on the overall situation.

The emperor in Kyoto, as early as a day ago, had received a letter from Mu Hua, he left the grain and grass division, just to leave a back hand for you, and now that Mu Hua has won the battle, there is naturally no reason not to give grain and grass.

"Father, I don't think this grain and grass should be given. Mu Chun arched his hand and said, "At least not now." ”

The emperor glanced at him with some suspicion, and Mu Chun hurriedly explained: "The last time the Praetorian Guards forced the palace to rebel, although there is no direct evidence to prove that it was King Guangping, but presumably my father knows that the theory of power is vicious, and no one among the princes can do this except him, and now King Guangping has made another contribution, if the father continues to let go of power, give King Guangping a chance, I am afraid of ......"

Looking at the emperor's increasingly ugly face, Mu Chun did not point out this, but changed his words: "And if my father is really jealous of King Guangping's merits, now is a good opportunity to get rid of him. ”

From beginning to end, the emperor didn't speak, but Mu Chun's every word seemed to reach his heart, he had already made a decision in his heart, and the token in his hand was put down again.

After two days of driving, Shi Lingyan and the three of them gradually walked to the border, and at this time, looking at the strange situation and mountain appearance in front of them, Shi Lingyan suddenly felt that he seemed to be not far from Muhua.

"Brother Chu, where are we here?" Shi Lingyan asked.

Chu Li had been checking on the ground, and only after a while did he frown and respond: "This is Baili Gorge, the only way to the border, it seems that the army has passed through here." ”

The army, it must be Mu Hua's army, Shi Lingyan instantly became excited, he chased for so long, and finally saw a little hope.

But Chu Li had a sad face, and seemed to be a little speechless to Shi Lingyan, and only spoke after a while: "It seems that a vicious battle has just been experienced here. ”

Shi Lingyan was shocked, Chu Li took her to a hill, from here you can see most of the Baili Gorge, sure enough, at the end of the Baili Gorge, there is a mess, although the corpses on the ground have been moved or buried, but from the remaining swords and armor, it can still be seen that the situation was tragic at that time.

"It's best for the people of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom to violate the borders of other countries, and this time must be no exception. Looking at the trajectory of the march, Chu Li also roughly analyzed the battle situation at that time.

With Chu Li's narration, Shi Lingyan's face became more and more ugly, last time she dealt with the people of Tianshu Country, these people were cruel and violent, and they were by no means upright gentlemen, not to mention that they took the initiative in this war, so they must have come prepared.

Seeing that Shi Lingyan's face was wrong, Chu Li hurriedly comforted, "Miss Shi, don't worry, it seems that the army of Yaoguang Kingdom has been defeated, and we will go to the border later, and we should be able to see Yaoguang's army." ”

Hearing this, Shi Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a false alarm, although the Tianshu people were vicious, but compared to Mu Hua's cruelty, they were only afraid that it was much worse. After being relieved, she turned her head and thanked Chu Li with a smile.

In Chu Xue's eyes, this scene had already become a scene where the two of them were chatting and laughing and even flirting, she looked at Shi Lingyan's back with hatred, and the sword in her hand was already out of the sheath.

"Cher, let's go, we have to hurry. Chu Li's sudden turn of head startled Chu Xue, she hurriedly put down the sword in her hand and said with a smile: "Okay." He consciously stepped forward to help Shi Lingyan.

"The mountain road is rugged, Miss Shi has to be careful. Chu Xue smiled pretendedly, and suddenly had a plan, although this cliff is not high, but from here, it is more than three or four zhang deep, once it falls......

Suddenly, Shi Lingyan only felt that he had been pushed hard, his center of gravity was tilted, and his whole body fell outward......
