"Could it be," Xue Chenghua stared at Mu Chongyu intently, the corner of his mouth slowly raised a sarcastic arc, and his voice was extremely harsh: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you thank me?"

Mu Chongyu's tone of voice still could not hear the joy or anger: "I should really thank you."

"No matter what your purpose is, at least, you helped me, the three hundred soldiers of Nanyan."

"Then, one last question." Mu Chongyu stood up and patted the dust off his body. He approached Xue Chenghua and stared into his eyes: "It was you who sent someone to assassinate Xue Jinghong?"

Xue Chenghua's dark brown pupils shrank suddenly, as if a cunning fox had been stepped on by its tail, and his gaze instantly became vicious.However, at the next moment, he immediately narrowed his eyes, covering up the fierce malice in his pupils: "How dare I confess such a serious crime?"

Mu Chongyu smiled slowly, knowing it in his eyes: "Whether you recognize it or not, it's already a fait accompli. If you want others to know, you have to do nothing about it."

After he finished speaking, he restrained his smile and looked down at Xue Chenghua with a trace of disdainful pity in his eyes.

In the eyes of this person, there is only conspiracy and no humanity. Since this is the case, he does not need to stick to any morality.

Mu Chongyu turned around and left the prison without looking back.

After Mu Chongyu left, Shen Qing and Shi Xu immediately received the order, went to the prison and together with the warden moved the punishment instruments to the three people in the prison—Xue Chenghua and his two lieutenants.There is only one purpose: torture and interrogation.

How Xue Chenghua ordered the officers and soldiers to trample on the farmland of the common people, disregarding human life, and bullying women, all of them were asked one by one. He also asked how many officials he had colluded with during the severe drought in Jiangdong, how much profit he had obtained from it, and how he infiltrated his power into the How many eyes and ears were arranged in the palace, so that Mu Chongyu could hear the wind outside and escape from under Xue Jinghong's nose... All these things formed a confession document, forcing Xue Chenghua to press his fingerprints.

There is only one thing that Xue Chenghua swears not to confess, and that is the crime of treason.

This is certainly understandable.In Xue Chenghua's eyes, if he confessed to other crimes, he would be nothing more than a crime of arrogance and arrogance to the people. However, once he confessed to the treason, not only himself, but also his entire family, his wife and children would all die. .

But in addition, they also got a windfall.One of Xue Chenghua's lieutenants couldn't resist the torture, so he recruited their subsequent plans—Xue Chenghua's reinforcements were about to arrive.

This reinforcement is none other than an old acquaintance: Mu Yuan.

The [-] troops are marching towards Yuzhou under the leadership of Mu Yuan.

When Mu Chongyu heard the news, his mood was as gloomy as water.In the past, he would never have imagined that Mu Yuan would collude with the Beiyu court.

Even though Mu Yuan has the heart of disobedience, even though he is double-faced and ruthless, how can he work together with the Beiyu people who killed my race?

Mu Chongyu thought over and over in the dim light of the night, but he was unwilling to touch the answer behind him no matter what.In a trance, until dawn.

Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter how much he hesitates and struggles, it will be of no avail.He must persevere and lead the [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in the city to hold on to Yuzhou.

At dawn, a secret letter was sent from Yuzhou, and was rushed to Zou Chun's garrison thousands of miles away, requesting reinforcements.At the same time, Xue Jinghong also received a letter from Mu Chongyu, explaining everything that happened in the past ten days.

But at that time, outside the city gate of Yuzhou, an outrageous event happened.

The orthodox Prince Huai of Beiyu, and Xue Chenghua, who led the troops to the south to suppress the rebels, was tied to the city wall. His clothes were messed up, his face was haggard, and there seemed to be scars, as if he had been badly abused and his spirit was listless.There was only one pair of eyes staring viciously at the city gate guards who were standing not far away.

When the people of Yuzhou heard about this miracle, some of them were not afraid of death, and boldly ran out of the city gate to see it. When they came back, they shook their heads and clicked their tongues in amazement.

When Mu Chongyu heard the news from his subordinates, he nodded in satisfaction.

He believed that the news that Xue Chenghua was tortured and humiliated, and even tied up at the gate of the city, would spread soon.It won't be long before someone will risk their lives to come to the rescue.

He was looking forward to seeing Mu Yuan's face.

Mu Chongyu said indifferently: "The order will be passed down. Once Mu Yuan's army is approached, the guards will be relaxed immediately, and the troops outside the city will be reduced to reveal their flaws. It will not be a big problem to ask them to kidnap Xue Chenghua."

At this time, Mu Yuan was traveling day and night, and he was only tens of miles away from Yuzhou.

But what was waiting for him was not the news that Xue Chenghua's army was invincible, but the opposite.The city of Yuzhou is solid and stable, but Xue Chenghua's camp was attacked at night, not only lost troops, but now Xue Chenghua was actually captured.

The [-] army has lost [-], and the remaining [-] are leaderless, and the morale of the army is weak.

Mu Yuan never expected such a situation.He sent someone to investigate overnight, and he saw Xue Chenghua hanging at the gate of the city!

He was startled and angry at the moment, only felt that he had been deceived and was deceived to this place, but after thinking about it again, he calmed down again.

Xue Chenghua would not be so useless, being captured alive, it can only show that the enemy's strategy is too sophisticated.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Yuzhou City, his heart trembling slightly.Was it really his nephew planning it?

Mu Chongyu has grown to such an extent.

Mu Yuan's face darkened, his eyes dimmed a bit.

This is the consequence of his breeding tigers.It seems that Mu Chongyu must be removed this time, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Mu Yuan sent ten well-built masters wearing night clothes, at the third watch, taking advantage of the relaxation of their defenses, they climbed up to the gate of the city and quietly kidnapped Xue Chenghua.The two had a long talk all night, and re-formulated various strategies. They were bound to capture Yuzhou and capture Mu Chongyu under the knife with the righteousness of catching the traitor.At that time, all Nanyan people who have delusions of restoring the country will either be discouraged, or hate and lose their minds. No matter what, it will be a great opportunity for the two to reap the benefits.

With a common goal, everything will be easy to handle.

In one day, the two reorganized their troops and stabilized the morale of the army. They merged Xue Chenghua's [-] troops into Mu Yuan's [-] army, allocated [-] troops to Xue Chenghua's command, and prepared to attack the northwest, north, and north of Yuzhou City. For the three gates in the northeast, [-] were under the command of Mu Yuan. They concentrated on attacking the five gates of Zhengxi, Southwest, Zhengnan, Southeast, and Zhengdong.

Mu Chongyu woke up in the first ray of morning light.In fact, he has never slept deeply in this year, staying up every night until the lights die, and waking up with the morning light every day.

It was still early at this moment, and it was so quiet outside that even the chirping of birds could not be heard.But Mu Chongyu knew that today would not be peaceful.

Xue Chenghua was kidnapped the night before, and Mu Yuan's army has arrived, and the real flames of war are about to burn in front of us.

The opponent has a full [-] troops, but our own has only [-].It will take three days for Zou Chun's reinforcements to arrive.

In three days, one can imagine how tragic the battle situation will be.

After Mu Chongyu finished washing, he got up to get his robe, paused, picked up the cloak next to him, and tied his sword.

Now everything is ready, only this finishing touch remains.He is always ready to go to the battlefield.

At that time, Xue Chenghua didn't know that drastic changes had taken place in the court of Beiyu.

The wrath of the emperor left millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles.

Officials in Beiyu have never seen such a monstrous anger from His Majesty today.

It was clearly a scorching sun outside, but the wind blowing into the Golden Luan Hall brought a rustling chill, which made people shiver.

The entire hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and the high-ranking Master Chen, who had just been promoted to prime minister, did not dare to breathe.

Suddenly, with a "crash", Xue Jinghong slammed a cyan colored glass cup to the ground. The cup was smashed to pieces, and the fragments splashed on an official's face, but he didn't dare to move.

"Is this how you deceived me?" Xue Jinghong's voice contained rage, but his eyes were terribly quiet. He quietly swept across the faces of the kneeling officials below, and paused every word: "I said to treat Nanyan people kindly, But what is the result? Xue Cheng turned into a royal family, and dared to defy the law by sending troops to chase down the traitors. In the name of sending troops to chase down the traitors, he carelessly killed people, even as a royal family, he did this, as for you, I don’t know how far I have been deceived!"

After he finished speaking, all the officials below knelt down and kowtowed, and exclaimed in surprise, "I don't dare!"

"Don't dare?" Xue Jinghong sneered, he threw the confession letter sent by Mu Chongyu to the ground, and the bright red bloody fingerprints on it made his scalp tingle.

"Look for yourselves. This confession is written by Xue Chenghua himself. Just look at how many evil things he has done!"

Someone took it tremblingly and read it aloud, but the more he read it, the more frightened he was.At the end of the reading, the whole person was kneeling on the ground, unable to lift up.

The new prime minister, Chen Binggong, is Xue Jinghong's confidant. He is safe and calm. He helped the man, and then lowered his head and asked, "At this moment, Xue Chenghua's [-] troops are away. I'm afraid that there will be disagreements. I don't know what His Majesty plans to do with him?"

Chen Binggong was born in a poor family, but he dared to call King Huai by his name, which shows that Xue Chenghua is doomed to no good results.

Xue Jinghong glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "I want him to sacrifice his own blood to the people in the world who died in vain!"
