Mo Ying and Yue Qingshu were extremely anxious and trotted all the way to the entrance of the mountain village.

The atmosphere outside the village was extremely tense at this moment, as if a taut string would break at any time.

Duolong was wearing armor, looking very majestic and powerful. However, at this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of anger.

"Hand over General Yue quickly, or I will not let him off easily!" Duolong's voice was low and full of irresistible majesty.

Faced with the approaching army, everyone in the village couldn't help but become nervous, with an ominous premonition of impending storm looming in their hearts.

Mo Xinqiang had a gloomy face as he led the young and middle-aged men in the mountain village to confront Duolong's army.

But Mo Xinqiang felt heavy in his heart, because the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. So big that even the always confident Mo Xinqiang knew that he was just an egg hitting a rock.

At this moment, he finally understood what Mo Ying had said before. It turned out that in the eyes of the court, they were just a group of mob.

The real difference lies in whether the court decides to take action against them, not whether they can render the court helpless.

Thinking of this, he secretly groaned. If he had known this would happen, he should have listened to his daughter's advice and wouldn't have ended up in such a tense situation today.

Different from Mo Xinqiang who was as if facing a great enemy, Fang Zheng seemed more calm.

There was even a sense that he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk. With Yue Qingshu, they could definitely get away with it.

Now Yue Qingshu is the son-in-law of their village! With such a big backer, Fang Zheng felt proud.

"How dare you!" Duolong shouted arrogantly, and the hot-tempered Mo Xinqiang couldn't help but rush out to fight to the death with the other party. However, just as he was about to act, Fang Zheng stopped him without hesitation.

"Village leader, please calm down and don't act impulsively." Fang Zheng's tone was calm, but his eyes were firm, forcing Mo Xinqiang to stop.

Mo Xinqiang took a few deep breaths and tried to control his emotions. He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively and he had to stay calm to deal with the crisis at hand.

Angering the other party will be of no use to them and may even bring about fatal disaster.

"Fang Zheng, the village is now facing a critical moment of life and death, what should we do?" Mo Xinqiang asked anxiously. He knew that someone needed to stand up and lead everyone out of the predicament.

Fang Zheng has always been one of the people he trusts the most, so he placed his hopes on Fang Zheng.

"Don't worry, village chief. There will be a way out when we get to the mountain." Fang Zheng smiled and was calm. His answer was full of confidence, which made people trust him.

Mo Xinqiang looked at Fang Zheng and secretly sighed in his heart: "Fang Zheng is indeed a man of character. In such a critical moment, he can still remain calm and composed."

When Duolong saw that the group of bandits not far away were standing still, his heart sank: Nothing must happen to Yue Qingshu!

If Yue Qingshu died on the battlefield, the Yue family might not have much reaction, but if he encountered misfortune in this remote place, it would be the utmost injustice.

At this moment, he was so loudly provocative, but the other party did not respond at all, which made Duolong suspicious. As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Could this group of bandits have killed the host?

Duolong's face darkened, and he decided not to hesitate any longer and conquer the mountain stronghold first. After all, this was just a group of rabble, and apart from the mysterious girl, there was probably nothing special about them.

Just when Duolong was about to order an attack, at the critical moment, Mo Ying and Yue Qingshu finally arrived in time.

"Someone come here..." Because they were in such a hurry, Yue Qingshu and Mo Ying's clothes were a little messy.

"Wait!" Yue Qingshu shouted in a low voice.

Duolong was overjoyed to see Yue Qingshu after not seeing him for several days. That was great. His official position was saved.

"Yue Qingshu, great, you're okay!"

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Consort." Yue Qingshu clasped his fists. He knew that Duolong must have had a hard time these days.

That's right. Duolong felt miserable. He finally got a gilded mission, but ended up stumbling. Now he has lost all his face.

He could even imagine how Hailancha and Fukang'an would laugh at him after he returned to Beijing.

Forget it, he should just lie down and let everyone laugh at him. It’s not the first time anyway, Duolong thought in a naive way.

When Mo Xinqiang saw Yue Qingshu and Mo Ying coming, there was no surprise on his face, as if he had already expected this scene.

He secretly speculated in his heart that perhaps someone had informed Mo Ying in advance and released Yue Qingshu.

However, he did not consider other possibilities, such as that they had just emerged from a room together.

Yue Qingshu walked steadily towards Duolong's team, stopped, and looked ahead calmly.

Mo Xinqiang pursed his lips, feeling somewhat complicated, but he showed no obvious emotional fluctuations on the surface.

He knew what it meant to do this, perhaps he was giving up the last handle. However, as Mo Ying said, they must show a sincere attitude and give it a try.

Before Yue Qingshu left, he turned around and glanced at Mo Ying. When their eyes met, he nodded slightly.

This subtle movement conveyed a kind of tacit understanding and trust, which made Mo Ying feel inexplicably confident. At this moment, she knew that her success or failure depended on this move, and she also understood that the gamble had already begun, and the outcome was still unknown.

"General Yue, you have worked hard during this period." Duolong looked at Yue Qingshu carefully. He didn't seem to be injured. Fortunately, he was fine.

Yue Qingshu paused, it was indeed "hard work".

Yue Qingshu quickly pulled himself back after realizing that his thoughts had strayed a little too far.

"Prince-in-law, I have already pacified this mountain stronghold. We can take it down without spending a single soldier." Yue Qingshu said in a deep voice.

Doron was silent.

If he remembered correctly, Yue Qingshu was a prisoner!

No, which prisoner would come up with a plan to rebel?

This makes him look stupid! Duolong's heart was beating wildly, but he was not a petty person. It was a good thing to be able to take down the village at the lowest cost.

"General Yue is really awesome!" Duolong praised sincerely, look at how he's doing, it's really awesome!

Yue Qingshu smiled awkwardly. This is a long story. All he could say was that it was a coincidence, ahem.

He remembered what happened last night...Yue Qingshu quickly calmed down.

"Prince, they are willing to hand over the culprit and all the people in the village will be naturalized." Yue Qingshu explained, "They only have one request, to save their lives."

Doron nodded in understanding. This was not a difficult task.

I didn't expect things to take such a turn, it's really full of twists and turns. Duolong sighed inwardly.
