"I'm going to His Majesty! I'm going to ask His Majesty for an explanation! There's always a place for justice in this world! How can you dismiss an army so carelessly? This won't do! " A bearded general shouted in grief and indignation. He suddenly turned around and ran toward the main gate of the palace.
"Come back!" Mu Tianlan shouted. Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled the running general to his side. Mu Tianlan raised his hand and slapped the general's face. "Do you want another traitor to appear among us?! Or will there be another corpse with the title of traitor? "
Mu Tianlan's face was livid.
When the generals heard this, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
Marshal Mu's words implied that the current situation might be a thousand times worse than the worst situation that they had imagined!
"Mu Shuai? Why? Why? "One of the generals, who was the closest to Meng Wuya, asked tearfully.
"The rain is late!" Marshal Mu gritted his teeth. His face was livid. He said each word in a low voice with a hateful tone.
Then, he took large strides forward. His bleak figure was completely submerged in this sudden blizzard.
This year's snowstorm had indeed come earlier than in previous years. ・・・・
What a heavy snowfall. The weather was cold enough.
All the generals looked at Marshal Mu's back and felt a chill in their hearts.
Outside Marshal Mu's camp, there were also many officers standing quietly in the snow, waiting. There were more of them, as many as thousands.
These people were the officers of Meng Wuya's Dream Slayer Army. All the generals above the rank of deputy general were here. They looked at Mu Tianlan and the others coming from afar.
The muscles on Mu Tianlan's face twitched fiercely. He didn't say anything. He just looked deeply at the thousands of soldiers in front of him. He was speechless. He was too ashamed to face them!
Facing these people's hopeful eyes, the people behind him all felt like their hearts were being cut by a knife. Without exception, they all lowered their heads.
None of the thousands of people said a single word.
They just looked at Mu Shuai, hoping to get the answer they wanted to hear.
However, they were all speechless. After a while, the flames of hope in the eyes of those officers were extinguished bit by bit, without the slightest bit of light.
Mu Tianlan straightened his back and stood in front of the thousands of soldiers. He raised his face and closed his eyes. He didn't say a word. After a long time, he suddenly bowed deeply to the thousands of soldiers.
He bowed to the ground!
"Brothers, I'm sorry!"
A long time after Mu Tianlan finished speaking, he was still standing there with his body bowed.
All the generals behind him bowed to the ground.
They didn't have the face to say any words of explanation. They could only use this action to show their helplessness!
The thousands of people on the other side stood there in a daze. Every one of them was like a wooden statue. After a long time, everyone quietly moved their feet and opened up the path to the camp.
Still, no one spoke.
As the first person turned sideways and opened up the path behind him, everyone behind him quietly moved their feet and stood sideways. A straight path appeared in front of Mu Tianlan's bowed body.
As these people moved slowly and silently, drops of hot tears quietly fell to the ground.
They burned a hole in the thin layer of snowflakes that had just fallen, revealing the ground under the snowflakes.
Then, thousands of people returned to silence and motionlessness. Their eyes were full of silence.
Mu Tianlan still bowed and didn't make the slightest movement. The generals behind him also didn't move at all.
Suddenly, an order came from the opposite side, "Salute!"
"Kneel!"
"Farewell, Marshal Mu!"
"Kowtow!"
"Stand up!"
With the five majestic orders, thousands of people silently raised their hands, clenched their fists on the left side of their chests, and bowed to Mu Tianlan for the last time.
Kneel down, thank, and bid farewell to Marshal Mu.
Dong!
Following an orderly dull thud, the entire earth trembled.
The foreheads of thousands of hot-blooded men hit the snow hard at the same time, causing the snowflakes to swirl in the air.
With the order of "Stand up", everyone stood up neatly. However, it was no longer silent.
The next moment, the person at the front of the line quietly moved his feet and slowly walked out without looking back.
Thousands of people all followed behind him and walked out silently. In the silvery white snowflakes, the black military uniforms of the Dream Slayer Army were like a black torrent.
"Take care!" Mu Tianlan straightened up.
Everyone trembled with this sound, but no one stopped or looked back.
"Everyone, try your best to protect your families!" Mu Tianlan said softly, "If you can't, send them to me."
Thousands of men trembled again at the same time, but still, no one stopped, no one looked back, and no one made a sound.
Not even a cough or a gasp.
Thousands of people left quietly as if they had never been here.
Only neat footprints were left on the ground.
It was so dazzling in this place of first snow.
As it grew larger, those footprints were also slowly covered. However, these soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for Mo Yuntian, would they also be annihilated by history?
Mu Tianlan looked at the footprints that were gradually disappearing on the ground in a trance. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and laughed bitterly. Then, with a sound of "Wah", a big mouthful of blood spurted out without warning. It turned into a bloody mist and filled the sky.
The people behind him surrounded him in panic. Mu Tianlan staggered and waved his hand. He said tiredly, "I'm fine."
But he felt a chill in his heart.
Even if you want to reshuffle the military, even if the military's power is severely tilted, even if you … but you … are too cruel.
You are too cruel!
Mu Tianlan looked sadly in the direction of the imperial palace and sighed.
In Mo Yuntian, the situation suddenly changed overnight!
The troops and horses under Yu Chi's command took over all the important places inside and outside the imperial palace. The surrounding cities also responded one after another.
Almost every city's gate was occupied and guarded by Yu Chi's army.
The army belonging to Commander Mu was ordered to guard the camp at the same time, and no one was allowed to go out. If anyone went out without permission, he would be punished as a traitor!
Clan execution!
Such an order was obviously biased! Everyone, especially the officials, quickly sensed that something unusual was going on.
For a time, the people in Mo Yuntian's imperial city were in a panic. Everyone knew that the battle between the two highest commanders of the military ended with Deputy Commander Yu Chi's complete victory and Mu Tianlan's complete defeat!
This ending made everyone's jaws drop!
Although the military was divided into factions, Mu Tianlan had always had complete control over the military forces. His troops and horses were almost all elites.
In terms of numbers, if there were only ten people in Mo Yuntian's military, then at least seven people were on Mu Tianlan's side, and there were only three people on Yu Chi's side!
How could Mu Tianlan be defeated with such a disparity in strength?
But the fact made everyone puzzled: The one who was defeated and completely at a disadvantage was exactly Mu Tianlan, who everyone thought was invincible!
The forces belonging to Yu Chi's side were all arrogant and in high spirits, galloping their horses and looking insufferably arrogant. On the other hand, the soldiers of Marshal Mu's army had gathered at the edge of the campsite, their eyes spitting fire as they watched their old rivals flaunt their prowess at close range.
They just lay on the edge of the camp.
Behind them, the officers shouted loudly to let everyone go back to their tents. But these soldiers, who had strict management and military discipline, turned a deaf ear to this order.
Behind them, the people in the military law office moved out one after another, waving their whips and whipping the backs of these iron-blooded men. Blood and flesh flew.
Every time the whip went down, the people who were whipped twitched violently. But even so, no one went back to their own camp.
They were still lying on the fence, watching what was happening outside. Everyone's teeth were deeply biting into their lips. Blood was cold.
In the end, the people in the law office hit themselves until tears streamed down their faces. They threw away the whips and simply squatted on the ground and cried …
The people in the imperial city still didn't know what was going on, but they were also keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere. They closed their doors one by one, only peeking out from the cracks of the door occasionally. Everyone's heart was beating wildly, as if they were welcoming the end of the world.
Such panic quickly spread from the imperial city to the outside, and several surrounding cities were quickly affected. Then, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
The whole Moyun Sky was in chaos because of it.
In the afternoon of this day, since lunch, countless soldiers and horses began to gather and mobilize. Yu Chi began to take the next step.
Countless doors were kicked open by the rude and unreasonable soldiers. Immediately after, strings of people were dragged out from inside. The people who were tied up had miserable expressions and their faces were filled with despair.
If they walked a little slower, they would be whipped. Their cotton-padded clothes would be whipped and the cotton wool would fly, and blood would slowly ooze out.
One push, one stagger …
Among these prisoners, there were some who were covered in wounds because they resisted with force but were subdued. There were also some who were only young children, some who were already white-haired and had one foot in the grave. There were also some who were young girls, and there were also some women …
It could be seen that each of these people used to have a certain status, or lived like a prince all year round. But at this moment, they were all tied up and dragged to the prison.
