"You rode a horse here?" Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows. "Whose horse? Who brought you here? "
"Wuwu … I don't know. Father, save mother. She's lost a lot of blood … Lie 'er is scared … "Mu Yang hurriedly pulled him into his arms and patted him gently." Okay, okay, don't be scared. It's okay now … Lie' er is good … "
After bringing Mu Lie into his tent, Mu Yang carefully questioned him. Only then did he find out what had happened from Mu Lie's mouth. It turned out that two days after Mu Yang left, the Mohist army spies hidden in the army couldn't sit still anymore. They were discovered by the Chu Army and took Mu Lie and Yaoji hostage when they escaped. After that, Yaoji tried to help Mu Lie escape. Mu Lie wanted to go back and ask his grandfather to help save his mother, but he heard that the old Marquis Muyang was also captured. That was why he begged a kind passerby to send him here.
Mu Yang was already worried when he heard Mu Lie's words. Lei Tengfeng, who was also present, was also much calmer. At the same time, he noticed more details that Mu Yang didn't notice. Lei Tengfeng smiled at Mu Lie and asked, "Little Heir, where is the person who sent you here?"
Mu Yang heard this and couldn't help but frown. "Brother Lei, what do you mean?" Mu Yang and Lei Tengfeng got along well these days, so Mu Yang didn't want to embarrass Lei Tengfeng. However, Lei Tengfeng's question made him feel a little uncomfortable. Lei Tengfeng smiled. "Brother Mu, there is a war here. Don't you think it's strange that the Little Heir could meet a passerby riding a horse?" Normally, people would stay away from places where there was a war. Why would someone have the leisure to send a child to the military camp on a horse?
Mu Yang looked at Lei Tengfeng angrily. "Brother Lei, are you saying that Lie 'er is lying?"
Lei Tengfeng frowned slightly. "Brother Mu, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just a little strange. The Little Heir is still young. It's inevitable that he will be used. " Mu Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, let's find out what's going on first. Brother Lei, I'll have to trouble you with the army for a few days. I have to make a trip back. "
"No!" Mu Lie grabbed Mu Yang's hand tightly and refused to let go. "Father, don't go back! His Majesty will kill you! They said … His Majesty wanted to capture her father and kill him along with her grandfather. Lie 'er didn't … didn't want his father to die. Wu wu … "
Mu Yang's face turned even uglier. He believed most of Mu Lie's words, but he didn't understand why the Emperor wanted to capture his father. Just as he was deep in thought, a sharp voice came from outside the door, "The imperial edict has arrived! Marquis Muyang, receive the decree! "
Mu Yang hurriedly settled Mu Lie down and hurriedly left the tent. When he saw the expression of the eunuch beside Mo Jingli standing in the middle of the tent, his heart couldn't help but sink.
"Your subject, Mu Yang, receives the decree." Mu Yang respectfully knelt down to receive the decree.
That eunuch glanced at Mu Yang and opened the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand. He said in a deep voice, "Marquis Muyang's residence colluded with the Prince Ding Mansion and committed treason. Mu Yang's military power will be removed and he will be escorted back to the camp. Choose a day to deal with him! " That eunuch closed the imperial edict and ordered in a sharp voice, "Why aren't you arresting Mu Yang!"
"Wait!" Mu Yang said in a clear voice, "May I ask Eunuch, when did Mu Yang collude with the Prince Ding Mansion? When did I commit treason? "That eunuch sneered and said," You'll have to ask Marquis Muyang himself. I'm here on His Majesty's order to arrest him. Don't tell me Marquis Muyang wants to defy the edict? "
Mu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Mu Yang is not convinced!"
The eunuch sneered, "Not convinced? If Marquis Muyang has anything to say, just say it in front of His Majesty. I'm here on orders. I hope Marquis Muyang will not make things difficult. But … I'm afraid Marquis Muyang has nothing to say. Old Marquis Muyang was beheaded this morning. "
"What?! Father … "Mu Yang's face changed greatly. He didn't expect Mu Lie to say that his father was captured by Mo Jingli and was beheaded so quickly. That eunuch acted as if he didn't see Mu Yang's face change. He said proudly, "Marquis Muyang should just obediently surrender. Your father has already confessed that Marquis Muyang colluded with the Prince Ding Mansion. "
Mu Yang's face turned green and white. He knew his family's situation better than anyone else. If it was possible, his father naturally wouldn't refuse to seek refuge with the Prince Ding Mansion. But the problem was that when his father acted on Mo Jingqi's order to attack Princess Ding, he had already formed a huge enmity with the Prince Ding Mansion. Even if he sought refuge with anyone, he would never seek refuge with the Prince Ding Mansion. How could his father admit to such a ridiculous crime? Unless … it was a confession made under torture!
Thinking of this, Mu Yang was indescribably sad and indignant, "My Mu Family is loyal and devoted to His Majesty, but His Majesty treats human life like grass! How can a loyal official not be bitterly disappointed! " That eunuch frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "Take down Marquis Muyang so that we can go back and report."
The guards on his left and right hurriedly stepped forward to capture Mu Yang. Although Mu Yang was young, Marquis Muyang had spent half his life in glory. Moreover, he was also very good at conducting himself. There were also many loyal family generals in the Marquis Muyang Mansion. Old Marquis Muyang was inexplicably beheaded by the Emperor. How could these people let Mu Yang be captured? For a moment, the relationship between both sides became tense.
By the time General Xi Bei arrived, most of the people brought by the eunuch had already been killed. Only two guards were left and they managed to escape from the barracks.
Several li away from the military camp, that eunuch who delivered the decree looked at the people standing not far away with a pale face. His limbs were weak. The last two guards beside him also collapsed in front of him. That eunuch was also very good at reading people's expressions. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Commander Qin, this lowly one did as you said. That Mu Yang … that Mu Yang was so daring that he actually killed the guards sent by His Majesty. Commander Qin, please spare this lowly one's life. "
Qin Feng looked back at the flattering eunuch in front of him and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. I won't kill you."
That eunuch was stunned, but his heart was overjoyed. He originally thought that delivering the decree would be a simple task. He didn't expect that he would be captured by the people from the Prince Ding Mansion before he even set off. In the end, he could only deceive Mu Yang according to Qin Feng's words. Old Marquis Muyang was killed. He even almost became a ghost under Mu Yang's blade. Now that he finally got his life back, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Not only will I not kill you, I will also send someone to send you back safely. Do you know what to say when you go back? "
"This lowly one understands, this lowly one understands. Mu Yang dared to defy the decree and even killed the Emperor's envoy. He intended to rebel. "That eunuch quickly said.
Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. I like to deal with smart people."
