I want to do something big [fast travel]

Chapter 22

On the first day of the siege of the clan's mansion, various forces entangled endlessly, and at least they dispersed the 120 people.

On the second day, these 120 people began to spread rumors inside and outside the capital. For a while, people's hearts were fluctuating, but for some reason, all the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division were sent out, and no one was caught. a little shadow.

On the third day, the news had spread from the capital to the outside world. Emperor Huizhe was furious, and directly escorted the 120 three people who claimed to have survived Yuecheng into the palace. Prince Yu, Crown Prince Mu Cheng, Prince Gong Mu Jing and Gu Yan Qi, Zhong Wenzhuo and others also all entered the palace.

Emperor Huizhe asked someone to make a simple arrangement in the palace, summoned all civil and military officials to listen to the interrogation, and asked Prince Yu to start the interrogation immediately.

The old prince was sweating on his forehead. He really didn't expect this incident to go to such an extent.

He first called Wu Lai up, and asked him some details over and over again. The other party responded fluently, and then presented the evidence collected in the past few days one by one, and then went to interrogate Mu Jing, but was rejected one by one.

So until after noon, there was no result of the trial.

The old prince wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked He Zhengqi again.

"General He, you really don't know the inside story?"

He Zhengqi made a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture: "Your Highness, He has been staying in Yuecheng due to private matters, and he really doesn't know about the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Gong. Maybe the number of barbarians captured in Yuecheng is somewhat different, but it cannot be verified that it is the Qing people around him." people!"

"In any case, it is true that His Highness Prince Gong expelled the barbarians, why bother to ponder over such details!"

The face of Emperor Huizhe on the side was gloomy. He Zhengqi alluded to the unrighteousness of Mu Jing's actions. He is Mu Jing's deputy general. These words are more useful than a hundred Ulai!

At this time, Gu Yanqi who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Since General He has already said that he doesn't know, can Gu Yanqi, a grassroots man, ask this Wulai who knows?"

Prince Yu said, "You ask."

"Wulai, you claim to be from Wujia Village, Yuecheng, and you want to sue me for killing people and pretending to be meritorious, what proof do you have?"

Wu Lai vowed: "When the barbarians plundered people, I happened to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, so I was arrested."

Gu Yan said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. After beheading Gesser, the barbarians collapsed. In order to prevent barbarians or slaves from pretending to be good people, we worked with the commander of Yuecheng Wei Cheng Yi for more than half a month to send The identities of the people who claim to be captives have been investigated one by one."

"Among them, there are still a few people from Wujia Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two sturdy peasants walking out of the more than 100 people, speaking with a strong Beidi accent: "We are from Wujia Village, but we have never seen you before!"

Wu Lai was startled, and hurriedly said: "If you are from Wujia Village, why did you come to this capital! Isn't it ridiculous!"

The farmer said with a rough laugh: "Wujia Village has been slaughtered by the barbarians, and only my two brothers are left. There is no way out in the Northland, so I just want to come to the capital to find a way out."

"If these grown-ups don't believe me, I still have account cards here, which I keep with me."

After the two finished speaking, they took out the account slips for Prince Yu to check.

Gu Yanqi said: "Wulai, you said you are from Wujia Village, do you have a household certificate to prove it?"

Ulay said, "Of course there are!"

He quickly took out the account card and asked someone to check it, and it was naturally true.

Prince Yu frowned, the three accounts were all true, but the three of them had two sets of arguments, so how to judge.

Gu Yanqi said, "Your Highness, Prince Yu, don't be in a hurry to find out Wulai's identity. There was indeed a Juren in Wujia Village, and it was true that he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives when the barbarians invaded, but that Ulai died early in the barbarian's life." Under the knife, it is absolutely impossible to come here to seek justice!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Ulay shrieked.

"How can I talk nonsense!" Gu Yanqi said, "As soon as the Yuecheng war ceased, Commander Cheng Yi led the Yuecheng guards to search for the dead from house to house. The body of Ulai was found by Commander Cheng himself. Yes, he told us a lot, and the entire Yuecheng Guards can testify!"

"As for killing good men and taking meritorious service, it's even more ridiculous. If Prince Yu can't count how many heads the people on the border of the city have and how many heads the barbarians have on the grassland, he can send a team of soldiers along our border. Wait for the route into the grassland and search all the way."

Gu Yanqi showed a gentle smile: "It's cold now, so those heads must not be all rotted yet, you can count them carefully."

"His Royal Highness Prince Gong beheaded so many barbarians on the grassland, why should he do such useless things."

Whispering gradually increased, people's hearts became more and more fluctuating, and strange eyes were cast on Emperor Huizhe.

"That's enough!" Emperor Huizhe couldn't listen anymore, he asked the old prince angrily, "After three days of interrogation, Prince Yu can't even understand the true body of Wu Lai!"

Prince Yu knelt down with a pale face.

Wulai did exist, and he did die in the war. If Gu Yanqi hadn't forced Cheng Yi to investigate the surrounding villages one by one, this person would be either Wulai or Wulai!

In three days, he was not a god, so how could he tell the difference between the real and the fake Ulai!

Emperor Huizhe questioned He Zhengqi again: "He Aiqing, you don't even know what the commander does, how can you be a lieutenant!"

He Zhengqi knelt down with a pale face, not daring to speak.

"Mu Cheng! You! You!" Emperor Huizhe shouted angrily, "I really regret it!"

regret what?

All the officials were dead silent for a moment.

Mu Cheng's mind was buzzing, and he almost collapsed on the spot.

"It's really ridiculous to insist on imprisoning the heroes of Daqing without evidence or evidence! Come on, let me release them all!" Emperor Huizhe said angrily, "Prince Yu, Mu Cheng, I will give you three days Time, I can't find out the authenticity of this matter, I want you to look good!"

The two fought with each other, and Nuonuo agreed.

Emperor Huizhe had another outburst, which made all the officials afraid to make a sound, so he left angrily.

As soon as He Zhengqi stood up, he looked at Gu Yanqi, but the other party's gaze never fell on him, but instead looked at Mu Jing with a smile.

The man who had been his master listened to Gu Yanqi's voice with a gentle attitude he had never seen before.

One is tall and heroic, the other is thin and elegant, these two people stand together, they are an incomparable match, making it difficult for others to get in.

He Zhengqi was angry, he walked a few steps and wanted to go forward, but was held back by Chen Mo.

"General! What do you want to do!"

He Zhengqi said nothing.

Chen Mo glanced at Gu Yanqi in the distance, and a little disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, as long as the general helps His Royal Highness sit on that chair, are you afraid that Madam won't come back!"

He Zhengqi was silent for a long time, his eyes gradually showed a cruel look, he took another deep look at Gu Yanqi, turned his head and left.

Now that I have chosen this path, I have nothing to say to them!

Having resolved an indiscriminate disaster, Mu Jing took advantage of the opportunity to invite these more than 100 people who came to the capital to go to Prince Gong's Mansion, intending to hold a banquet for everyone in the mansion.

Zhong Wenzhuo rushed to the front, while muttering about Jing Zhongjin who hadn't been seen for several days.

Gu Yanqi walked behind, as soon as he entered the mansion, he was dragged by Mu Jing to change into thick clothes, poured a large bowl of bitter soup and medicine, and asked the mansion doctor to check carefully before giving up.

After all this tossing, it was already dark, and the lights in Prince Gong's mansion were gradually turned on. Gu Yanqi drank the hot tea on the table, leaned on the chair, and suddenly felt idle.

Mu Jing was being served by a servant to change clothes, the prince's clothes were quite different from his in Yuecheng, but Gu Yanqi watched with relish.

But it attracted Mu Jing's attention.

He changed his clothes, picked up a cup of tea from the table to drink, and asked, "Have you met Emperor Father, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Gu Yanqi took a sip of tea, and looked out of the courtyard from a distance: "Emperor Huizhe has the appearance of a wise monarch."

Cleverness is a necessary quality for a Mingjun. Emperor Huizhe has this quality, but he is not a Mingjun.

He was too selfish to trust even his own son.

In the battle with the barbarians, Mu Jing's reputation was close to that of Emperor Huizhe. Emperor Huizhe would never allow this to happen, so he began to support the prince.

He doesn't necessarily like the prince, but the prince is the most convenient and most reasoned person to attack Mu Jing.

This is a refined egoist.

Gu Yanqi did not comment on this, he only knew that no matter how much the stubborn emperor scolded Mu Cheng, he would continue to be the strongest defender of the other side's crown prince.

The current defense of Mu Jing is just to cause conflicts between the royal brothers, so that none of them can pose a threat to himself.

After all, it has been more than four months.

The entrustment time was approaching the deadline, and his task must be completed.

While meditating, he heard Mu Jing's voice ringing in his ears.

"Yan Qi, don't worry, even if I can't be the emperor, I will definitely help you achieve your wish."

For a moment, Gu Yanqi's mind went blank.

What does he... mean?

Mu Jing didn't speak any more, she just sat by the window and looked out, paying attention to the preparations for the banquet.

"Your Highness won't ask?"

Before he knew it, the tea in the cup had cooled down, and Gu Yanqi just woke up like a dream and asked.

"What do you want me to ask?"

Mu Jing turned to look at him.

"Ask me why I am running around like this."

Mu Jing laughed lightly.

Gu Yanqi looked up, and saw the man in front of him was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold silk, his face under short hair was resolute, his eyes were dark, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he looked like a warrior.

He was speechless for a while, and only heard Mu Jing's deep and magnetic voice shaking his eardrums.

"So, what is your purpose?"

"Me?" Gu Yanqi withdrew his gaze, looked at the clear tea in the cup, and said slowly, "I came from the underworld and entered the human world for revenge."

"Revenge against whom?"

Gu Yanqi chuckled: "Probably all the people in this world who have treated me badly."

"Including He Zhengqi?"

"The most important thing is him."

"I see." Mu Jing nodded, "The banquet has already begun, should we go out now?"

"Isn't Your Highness surprised?" Gu Yanqi was a little surprised.

"You confided this to me because you want me to help you deal with He Zhengqi."

"Gu Yanqi, I'm not as resourceful as you, and I can't figure out your thoughts, so I will believe whatever you say. I think too much, but it will only cause more trouble."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that you, like He Zhengqi, will be deceived by me?"

"That's because I don't know people clearly, no wonder you."

Mu Jing raised his hand and pushed open the door, noisy voices rushed into the world, and the bright lights made Mu Jing's back look unusually tall.

"Stop thinking about it, let's go."

Gu Yanqi stared at him blankly for a while, and finally laughed.

"Your Highness loves you so much, Gu Yanqi...it's an honor!"
