You must know that the tiger talisman is the token that can dispatch 300,000 troops of the Yanyun Army. Now that it is taken back, it is equivalent to making the Loyal and Brave Marquis a lone general.
Although it is said to be temporary, once this thing is in the hands of the emperor, it will not be so easy to give it back.
Mu Yan shook her head and sneered: "No matter what Grandfather said or did today, even if he said nothing or did nothing, it was wrong."
If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
In the previous life, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's family was wiped out, and the executioners were undoubtedly Mo Xingchen and Mu Wan.
But isn’t the real reason behind this because the Han family’s achievements surpassed their master’s, thus making the Northern Qi Emperor wary of them?
When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the flying bird dies, the good bow is hidden.
Now that the border has been settled, the emperor is naturally afraid that my grandfather will become too powerful and will take over the army. It would be fine if he simply took back the military power, but I'm afraid things are not that simple.
The Yanyun Army was founded by my grandfather. The Han family has an unmatched reputation in the Yanyun Army. Only when all the Han family members are dead can the military power be completely recovered.
Mu Wan's case was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Mu family and the Han family were related by marriage. As long as the Mu family was charged with treason, the Han family would naturally not be able to escape.
Mu Yan had a stern expression, her long, white hands had protruding joints, and her eyes were almost dark in color.
In the previous life, the tragic scene of the massacre of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was still emerging in his mind one by one. She absolutely could not let her grandfather's family be implicated.
The night is dark and the snowy night in the capital is especially quiet.
The silver snow fluttered down, making the originally dark night much brighter and also making the night in the capital city much colder.
The Dali Temple prison, which was already gloomy and cold, became even colder because of the snow.
Si Yao came in wearing only a single layer of clothing and was already shivering from the cold.
"Hey, bring me some thick clothes."
She shouted at the jailer loudly with a look of contempt on her face. She always looked down on such small people.
"Did you hear me? I am the Saint of Dongfan. If anything happens to me, Dongfan will definitely investigate. Then the Emperor of Northern Qi will not let you go."
"It's noisy."
The jailer had a look of disdain on his face and swung the whip in his hand, leaving a red mark on Si Yao's body. She groaned in pain.
"You are the Saint of Dongfan. Everyone knows that you are a fake Saint."
He is a fake and is taking advantage of the power of others. He was originally a serious criminal and now his crime is even more serious. I am afraid he will never be able to get out in this lifetime.
The Mu family is now in a difficult situation, so how can he be nice to such a person?
It was really like a tiger in dire straits being bullied by a dog. Si Yao didn't expect that a small jailer would dare to look down on her, and she immediately became angry and embarrassed.
"You are so brave! When I get out, I will pull out your tongue."
She believed that Mo Xingchen would definitely find a way to rescue her.
As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer was knocked unconscious from behind. A man in black quickly pulled the key from the jailer's waist, opened the cell door, and hurriedly said to Si Yao, "Go!"
Si Yao was delighted, she knew that Mo Xingchen loved her deeply and would definitely not abandon her.
She kicked the jailer who had just been disrespectful to her hard, drew his sword and was about to chop him down, but was stopped by the man in black.
"Hurry up, His Highness is still waiting for you, don't be nosy."
After hearing this, even though Si Yao was unwilling, she had to put down her sword because she didn't want to keep Mo Xingchen waiting any longer.
God knows how much she wanted to see him during these days of being imprisoned.
The two men left the Dali Temple Prison and walked around a few streets before they saw a carriage parked on the side of the road in the distance.
Si Yao recognized at a glance that the logo on the carriage belonged to Prince Wei's Palace, and she ran towards the carriage with joy.
But after running only two steps, he saw a young woman jumping off a horse and walking towards the carriage with anger.
At this time, the man in the carriage also got off.
Although the night was as dark as ink, making it impossible to see the man's face clearly, the thick snow on the ground provided a glimmer of light around, so Si Yao recognized the man as Mo Xingchen at a glance.
Si Yao immediately stopped and quietly approached the two of them.
The man looked around warily, and said with a hint of anger, "How did you find this place? Who told you? Go away."
The woman shook off Mo Xingchen's hand, and the sharp and piercing sound echoed in the already silent street.
"Don't worry about how I found this place. Are you waiting for Si Yao here?"
Mo Xingchen's expression was already tense, and he said anxiously: "I can't explain too much to you now, you should leave quickly."
But the woman did not move at all and continued to roar: "King Xuan is no longer a threat to you. She is now a useless chess piece and is of no use to us. Why do you still want to save her? Are you in love with her?"
Seeing the woman's emotions out of control, Mo Xingchen hugged her tightly in his arms, his eyes were particularly serious: "Ning'er, believe me, there is only you in my heart from beginning to end."
At this moment, Si Yao's mind was blank and she was on the verge of collapse.
A pawn? Arrange someone to expose her identity?
Every word hit her nerves.
Mo Xingchen continued, "I led you to the pleasure boat to deliberately create chaos and hurt King Xuan."
"And I took great pains to have Hong Xing expose Si Yao's identity in front of the emperor, wasn't it so that I could push the blame of stabbing King Xuan onto her and save you? Don't you understand my intentions yet?"
"I'm keeping Mu Wan alive now only because there is an agreement between Xuan Xingyu and I. If I don't have you in my heart, Si Yao can play a greater role as a chess piece. Why should I let her become a useless chess piece?
However, even though she is just a useless chess piece now, I will squeeze out every last bit of her value."
Si Yao, who was hiding in the dark, heard every word of these words. She now realized who the woman in front of her was. She was Qi Ning!
It turns out that Qi Ning is Mo Xingchen's man, and all this is a conspiracy designed by him.
First, she deliberately seduce King Xuan, and then create chaos so that they can stab King Xuan in the chaos.
Then they put all the blame on her and made her a scapegoat.
Now, even rescuing her is just to squeeze out the little value she has left.
It turned out that she had been infatuated with the wrong person, and had no idea that the man in front of her was such a heartless person.
She covered her mouth tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
The man in black who had rescued her before had long disappeared.
At this time, after hearing Mo Xingchen's explanation, Qi Ning's emotions gradually calmed down, and he slowly said: "Xingchen, so that's how it is. I wronged you."
