I don't want to return

The punishment of Xue Yuantai provoked by Mu Zongyu of Yuzhou is not only a provocation to the senior nobles in the court, but also a breakthrough to break the forces of the Yan faction.

Xue Chenghua was more keenly aware of this than everyone else in the court, and he set his sights on Yuzhou Mu for a long time.

This person appeared really suddenly, he didn't know his family background at all, and he couldn't get his face. All he knew was that this person had a strong hand. In one year, he had changed the world of Yuzhou.

Xue Chenghua knew that Xue Jinghong had great trust in this Yuzhou Mu.He is like an important chess piece for Xue Jinghong to rectify the court, and he can affect his whole body.

So what if there is a problem with this chess piece at this critical moment?

Xue Chenghua greeted Xue Jinghong every day during the day and talked about everything. At night, he sent dark guards to Yuzhou and ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on every move of Yuzhou Mu every day.

Be sure to find out every trace of mistakes and loopholes in this Master Muzong of Yuzhou.

He couldn't overthrow Xue Jinghong directly, so he had to overthrow Xue Jinghong's powerful arm first!

What's more, Zongyu's origin is so weird, there must be something to check.

At this time, Yuzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital of Beiyu, was indeed not peaceful.Mu Chongyu has already "coincidentally" met many suspicious people intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Qing reminded him that many strange faces appeared in the city in the past few days, some were mixed among the refugees, some were hidden among the market vendors, and there were even some gentlemen who came out at night.

Mu Chongyu was unmoved.What should come will always come, let it go.He secretly ordered a young subordinate named Shang Ping to give detailed instructions, and then asked Shang Ping to follow him by his side for several days.

This Shang Ping also followed him when he was in Nanyan, and later he was captured in the war, and then he escaped from Beiyu, and he did his best all the way. Although he is not as strong as Shen Qing in martial arts, this loyalty is not bad .

On this day, Mu Chongyu only took Shen Qing and Shang Ping out to inspect the farmers' harvest. On the way back, as it was getting late, they turned into a dark alley, and suddenly saw a few gloomy figures blocking the narrow path ahead.

Oops!Shen Qing's mind tensed up instantly, she drew out her sword and fought with the visitor, not forgetting to protect Mu Chongyu desperately.

It's a pity that two punches can't beat four hands, he desperately protects Mu Chongyu and breaks out of the siege, but he doesn't care about Shang Ping on the other side, he can only watch him being robbed by thieves.

Shen Qing wanted to chase after him, but who would have thought that the culprit who was entangled with each other suddenly changed direction, covered Shang Ping who had been robbed, jumped up, and quickly disappeared into the night without a trace.

Mu Chongyu looked at the direction in which the gang of thieves were going away, and sighed deeply, but there was a quiet pool in his eyes.

Xue Chenghua didn't expect his subordinates to discover such a shocking secret, the expression in his eyes changed several times, and finally turned into a pool of ecstasy.

He asked his men to bring people over overnight.

In the cold and damp cellar, the person whose neck was tightly bound was none other than Shang Ping, who was kidnapped in Yuzhou three days ago.

Shang Ping's body was blue and purple, his face was haggard, there was a bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, and the only eyes buried under his forehead hair faintly revealed a bright and firm light.

Xue Chenghua looked at him coldly, stretched out his hand and slowly brushed away the hair covering Shang Ping's face, then slowly tightened his hand, pinching his chin.

He has an impression of this face.This person was indeed one of the Nanyan captives who were taken into the prison that day, and he had seen him twice.

Once when Nan Yan was defeated, this person was taken to the forefront of the team, and once when Mu Chongyu fled Nan Yan.

At that time, he was the one who released many Nanyan captives including this person himself.I didn't expect to see this person again today!

Xue Chenghua twisted a sinister smile on his face.He withdrew his hand, and he was sure of winning in his heart.

The cause he planted that day has finally become the fruit of today.He couldn't wait to see Xue Jinghong's expression if he knew that those escaped prisoners from Nanyan were lingering on the border of Yuzhou.

Not only Nanyan's former prisoner, Shang Ping couldn't stand the torture, and he had already confessed everything.

The Yuzhou pastor who promulgated the New Deal, returned the land to the people of Nanyan, punished Xue Yuantai, and made Xue Jinghong trust him is Mu Chongyu, the former owner of Nanyan himself!

In order to save their lives, Mu Chongyu and his gang sneaked into Yuzhou, hijacked Gao Wenjing, the former Yuzhou biejia, and controlled the government of Yuzhou.

Wonderful, really wonderful.

If Xue Jinghong knew that the minister he trusted so much had been turned into a traitor, Yuzhou Mu's so-called wide application of benevolent government had ulterior motives, I don't know how he would feel.

Although Shang Ping had been with Mu Chongyu for a long time, he was still young and couldn't stand the torture, so he was forced to write a confession letter.

The thin letter paper was stained with ink, and thousands of words were eloquently explained the "crimes" of the fugitives from the old Yan, without any details.

How did they suffer for three years without thinking of repaying, only thinking about how to escape from Beiyu, restore the country and kill the enemy, how did they hide their bodies, hang out with the bandits, and beat Beiyu general Xu Lihui to the ground.

And how they changed positions in Yuzhou, bought people's hearts under the banner of wide-ranging benevolent government, cultivated troops, and only waited for the rise of power to send troops to the north to attack the imperial capital. They were determined to take Xue Jinghong's head off as a sacrifice Nanyan soldiers.

Xue Chenghua believes that no monarch can tolerate such a confession of treason and injustice.

Once handed in, all Nanyan people who survived will die.If the Nanyan people faced such a catastrophe, Xue Jinghong would be finished.

Xue Chenghua couldn't wait for such a situation.

Before dawn on the second day, he waited outside Xue Jinghong's sleeping hall, and only waited for the gong to sound and the door of the hall to open, so he asked his attendants to announce.

Xue Jinghong was already fully dressed, there was no surprise on his face when he saw him, he just nodded lightly.

Xue Chenghua had a heartbroken look on his face.He held the confession letter in both hands and handed it to Xue Jinghong, his hands were still trembling.

"What is said above, my brother has sent people to check it, and there will never be any falsehood! If the emperor doesn't believe it, I will ask Shang Ping to come to the emperor to confess his guilt in person." Xue Chenghua lowered his voice, half-raised his eyelids during his words, He stared blankly at Xue Jinghong's expression.

Xue Jinghong was in a trance because he was shocked by the content of the confession, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his thick eyebrows were tense, his whole face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Xue Chenghua was secretly happy.After waiting for a long time, Xue Jinghong exhaled heavily. He closed his eyes and slapped the confession letter on the couch.

Xue Chenghua took advantage of the situation and knelt down, unhurriedly speaking out the speeches he had prepared.

He wanted to help Xue Jinghong recognize the true colors of these "wolf-hearted" Nanyan people: "The old Yan bandits were ungrateful, and His Majesty showed them affection and kindness, but they didn't want to repay them, and instead did such a conspiracy." Rebellion is simply a crime that cannot be punished."

Second, we must take advantage of the situation to show our loyalty: "One day to support the old Yan bandits is to let the tiger go back to the mountain for one day. My brother never wants to see my Dayu country in danger, let alone see the emperor's brother in danger, so the minister I hereby make a vow, willing to lead one hundred thousand soldiers for the emperor, and wipe out the old Yan bandits!"

According to these many days of observation, Xue Chenghua himself has a plan in mind.He was sure that Xue Jinghong had never doubted him, Xue Jinghong was just as he imagined, treating him as a ruthless younger brother from the beginning to the end.

There was a smile on the corner of Xue Chenghua's mouth unconsciously, unaware that Xue Jinghong, who was looking down over his head, had a dark light in his eyes.

Xue Jinghong quietly looked at the top of Xue Chenghua's head, his eyes narrowed slightly.

One hundred thousand troops, not to mention the leveling of Chongyu's old troops, is more than enough to take down the entire Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou.

I'm afraid Xue Chenghua is not going to eliminate the enemy for him, but wants to occupy the mountain as king and get rid of himself.

Xue Jinghong got up slowly, walked in front of Xue Chenghua, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly to hold Xue Chenghua's arm.

"Chenghua is so sincere, I feel it." With a little force in his hand, he helped Xue Chenghua up, but he paused: "It's just that the [-] troops are probably too many, and they might disturb the people."

"Although the people of Nanyan don't know what is good or bad, they don't deserve pity, but the people of our Dayu are simple and innocent, and we shouldn't let them suffer from the war." Xue Jinghong said slowly, with no strange expression on his face: "I allow you to bring ten thousand light cavalry, You go to Yuzhou for me, fight quickly and go straight to Huanglong, and you will definitely capture the old master of Nanyan for me."

Xue Jinghong's eyelids trembled slightly, and the last sentence seemed to be stuck in his heart, reminding him of the entanglement and annoyance in his previous life for no reason.However, to Xue Chenghua's ears, it sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

Satisfied, Xue Chenghua got up, and it was too late to hide his ambition: "Since that's the case, I'm willing to order troops and generals today, so that I can go to war as soon as possible."
