Jiang Long did not deny that the emperor wanted to get rid of him, but at the same time he hinted that he relied on someone else. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for the emperor to disappear alone?
As for expending so much effort, you must first send yourself to serve in northern Xinjiang, and then borrow the help of others?
You must know that there are golden guards in the imperial city. No one dares to take care of the golden guards. They can get rid of the nuisances for the emperor by just laying a few charges.
To make the emperor fearful is enough to show that he has a good background.
After hearing this, Mu Xuan sneered.
The emperor may indeed have some taboos, but he is not afraid.
There are many huge forces in the court, and the emperor wants to control the overall situation, so naturally he cannot mess around.
Otherwise, it is possible to cause public outrage and be pulled from the throne.
After all, Da Qi has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the royal family's control over the country is far less than it was when the country was first founded.
But he...if the emperor is the master, then he is just a sword.
A knife that doesn't need to think, just do things.
Whoever the emperor wanted to get rid of, he would do it. As for the consequences, it was not up to him to consider.
Furthermore, no matter how powerful the power behind Jiang Long is, can it be greater than that of the emperor?
Naturally, Mu Xuan would not have many scruples. As long as he stood by the emperor, even if something went wrong afterwards, the emperor and his backers would naturally protect him.
"Guo Fang, if you are really loyal to the court and the emperor, you shouldn't hesitate!" Mu Xuan suddenly shouted!
Guo Fang slowly calmed down from his surprise, but he sneered and said: "Mu Xuan, you are a corrupt official who colluded with the horse bandits and wanted to embezzle the salt in the army. You should be cut into pieces. How can I trust you?"
?”
"you!"
Jiang Long didn't deny it, which meant he acquiesced.
But Guo Fang said he didn't believe Mu Xuan, which was a clear statement that he was siding with Jiang Long.
Mu Xuan thought that if he told this secret, Guo Fang would come forward. After all, the current emperor wanted to get rid of Jiang Long. By then, wouldn't it be easy to kill Jiang Long?
And in the future, this team will also be under his full control.
It was very smooth and I was able to hand over the salt to the merchant and get the remaining silver.
But the result was beyond his expectation.
"You dare to disobey the Holy Order?" Mu Xuan's face turned pale.
Guo Fang said in a deep voice: "If you can produce the emperor's imperial edict, I will listen to you!"
"snort!"
Mu Xuan naturally couldn't take it out. He glared at Guo Fang, and his eyes suddenly moved to Cheng Gang and Wei Huan, "Two hundred households, you should have seen the situation clearly. Guo Fang is
The generals in the army do not understand the Sacred Heart.
Don't help the emperor solve problems.
And now there are 1,500 horse bandits ambushing outside. With my order, all the border troops will die here.
How do you two choose?
Are you going to die here with Guo Fang, or are you going to follow me and live a prosperous life?"
Seeing that he could not persuade Guo Fang to switch to his side, Mu Xuan began to persuade two hundred households, Cheng Gang and Wei Huan.
This is the first time since the team started out that Mu Xuan has seen the two of them face to face.
Mu Xuan really looked down upon the two frontier troops.
But after getting rid of Guo Fang, if you want to control more than 400 border troops, you can't do it without these two people.
Since the last battle, Guo Fang has truly understood the combat effectiveness of the frontier army, and also clearly realized the strength of the horse bandits.
If there were no border troops to guard him, and he could only escort the salt with the remaining imperial troops, he would really have no confidence in delivering the salt to its destination.
Cheng Gang and Wei Huan looked at each other and then fell silent, but their eyes towards Mu Xuan were filled with naked banter.
Mu Xuan was furious. He was a dignified fourth-grade Imperial Guard commander.
He was looked down upon by two hundred households!
There was a hint of viciousness on his face, "Since I've given you a way to survive and you won't leave, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Jiang Long, Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huan were all stripped of their weapons before entering the tent. After hearing this, they immediately gathered together and prepared to break out back to back.
Mu Xuan slowly raised his right hand and was about to swing it down vigorously.
Mao Ming and Xu Youcai stood beside Mu Xuan with more than a dozen soldiers, while Wang Chang led hundreds of forbidden troops to ambush outside the tent.
As soon as a move is made here, a code signal will be given, and the horse bandits who are ambushing not far away will rush over.
However, at this moment, Wang Chang, who was supposed to be ambushing the soldiers outside, suddenly rushed in.
"Master Mu!"
The look on Wang Chang's face was extremely anxious, breaking the tense atmosphere in the tent.
Mu Xuan's raised hand was fixed in mid-air but did not fall down.
Wang Chang and his sergeants were in ambush. If he took action now, the sergeants would not rush in.
Without the cooperation of those hundreds of sergeants, Mu Xuan had no confidence that Jiang Long and the other four could be left behind.
"What's the matter?" Mu Xuan looked gloomy. If he hadn't known that Wang Chang was not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important, he would have killed him with a knife.
How dare you rush in and interrupt at this juncture.
Wang Chang took a few steps forward and was about to speak into Mu Xuan's ear.
But at this time, he suddenly looked at Mao Ming standing next to him, pretending to be surprised and said: "Master Mao, what are you going to do?"
Mu Xuan instinctively turned his head to look.
Then I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my waist and ribs!
"Wang Chang, what are you doing?" Mao Ming was stunned by Wang Chang's previous words. Then he saw a sharp dagger suddenly slip out of Wang Chang's sleeve, and the dagger followed the gap in Mu Xuan's armor.
It just went straight in.
Gurgling blood flowed down the wound.
Mu Xuan never imagined that Wang Chang would attack him!
You must know that Wang Chang was promoted by him.
There was a sweet feeling in the throat, and a large mouthful of blood poured out of the mouth, flowing out from the corners of the mouth.
With difficulty, Mu Xuan turned around and stared at Wang Chang. Before he died, he wanted to know why.
Wang Chang ignored his look and pushed him out suddenly, directly into the arms of Mao Ming who had already rushed forward.
Mao Ming quickly supported Mu Xuan, and then pressed his hand on the wound on Mu Xuan's waist, but the dazzling blood still seeped out from his fingers.
"Wang Chang, you have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard, and you actually dare to secretly attack Master Mu!" Xu Youcai of Baihu took out the steel knife from his waist and shouted fiercely, then waved his hand to signal to Mu Xuan who was standing beside him.
The soldiers stepped forward and killed Wang Chang.
"stop!"
Seeing that the soldiers were about to charge forward, Wang Chang suddenly roared, "Mu Xuan colluded with the Northern Xinjiang horse bandits to rob the team, causing heavy casualties to the Forbidden Army soldiers!
He also bought heads in order to fool the superior officials and achieve false merits.
He also smuggled the salt escorted by the team to vendors to make huge profits. He has committed a heinous crime and deserves to die!
The imperial court has found out everything and sent a special envoy, who is now outside the tent, why don't you go out to greet him?"
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately froze.
They often follow Mu Xuan. Although they don't know clearly, they can roughly guess what Mu Xuan has done.
Wang Chang did not wrongly accuse Mu Xuan.
If the imperial court has really found out and sent a special envoy to deal with Mu Xuan, if they continue to take action, they will be charged with disobeying the Holy Order.
If they disobey the Holy Order and gather a crowd, they will be charged with rebellion by the special envoy.
And once this crime is found guilty, it will be a major crime that will implicate the nine tribes!
They all have relatives and cherish their own lives, so how can they dare to act recklessly?
Mao Ming and Xu Youcai, who were supporting Mu Xuan, were also stunned for a moment.
Then I saw that Wang Chang was full of energy. He didn't seem to be showing off, but he just sucked in a breath of air.
If a special envoy had arrived, then they had been involved in Mu Xuan's plan and were helping with the plans. Unlike Wang Chang, who was lucky enough to be pushed out by the special envoy to help, then the final outcome today would probably be inevitable.
One death.
Resist?
They dare not.
Neither of them can bear the charge of rebellion!
The crime of implication is too terrible. Once convicted, the men of the whole clan will be exterminated, the women will be turned into official prostitutes, and the blood will flow like a river.
Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huan were momentarily confused by the sudden change.
It was clear that a fight was about to begin, but why was there suddenly internal strife on Mu Xuan's side?
And another special envoy appeared.
The special envoy also found out what crimes Mu Xuan had committed.
The change was so fast that it was a bit unbelievable for the three of them!
Jiang Long's mind is really fast.
After thinking about it and calculating the time, I finally understood why the special envoy suddenly appeared.
It was not that the imperial court found out Mu Xuan's crimes, but that Mrs. Jing's role in setting off a bomb in the capital was finally revealed.
When Lin Ya's letter was sent, the shot had not yet been fired.
So I got it to Jiang Long a few days early.
As for this special envoy, after the prince of the royal family was killed in a bomb, the emperor became afraid and did not dare to cause trouble again, so Babaili stepped up and sent people to deliver the message.
Don't hurt his life.
It's just that when the special envoy arrived, the situation was chaotic, Mu Xuan had his arrow on the string, and nothing could be changed.
In the end, Wang Chang could only be allowed to come in and kill Mu Xuan.
Then he can be appeased and command the imperial army.
If Mu Xuan doesn't die, if he resists, the horse bandits will rush over and kill him, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing that Mao Ming and Xu Youcai were shocked, Wang Changcai snorted coldly in his nostrils and strode towards the door of the tent.
Mao Ming and Xu Youcai looked at each other and did not dare to stop them.
Jiang Long, Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huan were still on guard, and the four of them stood in the other corner of the tent.
After a while, a group of people walked in, all covered with dust.
The first one was holding a whisk in his hand, his face was white and beardless, and you could tell he was a eunuch without having to speak.
The eunuch was already middle-aged, with layers of crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. When he entered the tent, he first glanced at Mu Xuan, who was lying in a pool of blood. He took out his handkerchief and covered his nose with a look of disgust on his face. "Let's take this first."
Dragging a dead dog out will stain our family's eyes for nothing!"
Someone immediately stepped forward and pulled Mu Xuan out, who had expired.
Jiang Long's eyes flickered slightly.
During his lifetime, Mu Xuan was arrogant, did not take many people seriously, and did not take the lives of his Imperial Guard soldiers seriously.
Colluded with horse bandits to ambush and attack.
Hundreds of casualties.
Now that the person is dead, he is called a dead dog by the eunuch.
The Imperial Army sergeant who came forward to drag the body also lost any respect for Mu Xuan.
He moved roughly, just hoping to pull him out of the tent quickly.
I have to sigh, sometimes life is really unpredictable!
