Chapter 70 Dust settled

"Take it all down, don't let anyone go..."

Yang Zongbao and a group of soldiers had not yet approached, so he loudly gave orders to his subordinates behind him. But before the mount stopped, he jumped off his horse and rushed into the woods. Although Yang Zongbao knew that Mu Guiying's martial arts were very good, he couldn't help worrying.

However, as soon as Yang Zongbao ran into the woods, he saw Mu Guiying walking out. At this time, Mu Guiying looked tired and looked very weak in Yang Zongbao's eyes. Yang Zongbao quickly ran to Mu Guiying's side and wanted to help her, but he didn't dare to reach out because of men and women.

Mu Guiying saw Yang Zongbao's hands hanging in mid-air, and his face was a little impatient, and she couldn't help smiling: "I'm fine. It's just that I'm not strong enough to take a break. By the way, Wang Qiang is dead. Go and have a look.

Yang Zongbao just wanted to say 'no need to see it', but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly understood what Mu Guiying meant. Wang Qiang, whether he was a spy of the Liao Dynasty or not, wore the 'official hat' of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Based on this, Wang Qiang's body cannot be thrown here. Thinking of this, Yang Zongbao nodded: "I know. Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to take him back to the border gate. Let's go out first.

Mu Guiying nodded and slowly walked out of the woods with Yang Zongbao. Seeing that the battle outside the woods was almost over, Mu Guiying breathed a sigh of relief. With the people brought by Yang Zongbao, Yang Qiniang and Yang Zongying quickly turned defeat into victory and killed Wang Qiang's injured men. As for Wang Lun, when he saw Mu Guiying walk out of the woods, he immediately threw away the blade in his hand and surrendered.

Mu Guiying's eyes flashed and asked Yang Zongbao to deal with Wang Qiang's body. She came to Wang Lun: "Wang Lun, do you know what the crime of 'treason against the enemy' is?"

Wang Lun was tied with his hands and lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but after hearing Mu Guiying's words, his face changed. He deliberately pretended to be confident and said firmly, "Although Wang Qiang's servant, he doesn't know that Wang Qiang is a detailed work of Liao. Mu Niangzi should not frame the villain."

"Oh?" Mu Guiying raised her eyebrows and said, "Just now, you heard that Wang Qiang had admitted his identity, but also helped him want to destroy the dragon tree and kill us. What do you think this is not treason?"

As soon as Wang Qiang died, Wang Lun's mood began to be chaotic. After Mu Guiying said so, Wang Lun felt the horror of death. Wang Lun didn't want to die, so he began to think about ways not to die. Suddenly, Wang Lun looked at Mu Guiying in horror and muttered, "You, you..."

"Wang Lun, only smart people in the world will live for a long time, and their families will also enjoy happiness. Although Gui Ying is young, she can also see that you are a smart person, but I don't know if Wang Shiwei thinks so. Without waiting for Wang Lun to say anything more, Mu Guiying cut off his words and looked at the woods.

Wang Lun followed Mu Guiying's eyes and saw the two soldiers slowly walking out of the woods carrying Wang Qiang's body, and his whole body immediately softened. Soon, he said weakly, "It is also an honor for the villain to be favored by the Yang family. The villain is a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and he also looks forward to the triumphant return of the Yang family.

After saying that, Wang Lun walked to the captured people, lowered his head and stopped saying a word or paying attention to the things around him. Mu Guiying took a breath of relief when she saw this. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Cuiping and Yang Zongying standing next to the dragon tree and looked at themselves doubtfully.

Mu Guiying smiled and said, "Cuiping, I'm a little tired. Can you help me get to the car and have a rest?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jiang Cuiping helped to walk to Mu Guiying and helped her. With this help, Jiang Cuiping found that Mu Guiying's half of her body was leaning on her body, and she also knew that Mu Guiying was indeed weak. While complaining about Mu Guiying, Jiang Cuiping carefully helped Mu Guiying into the carriage brought before.

On the other side, Yang Qiniang checked the wounded soldiers before coming to Yang Zongying's side. She was moved when she saw Yang Zongying staring at Jiang Cuiping's background. Thinking that if it hadn't been for Jiang Cuiping's knife, Yang Zongying might have been attacked by surprise.

"Mom, what are you thinking?" Yang Zongying came back and saw Yang Qiniang also looking over there and couldn't help interrupting her sight.

Yang Qiniang saw that Yang Zongying seemed to be a little embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing. Gui Ying just said something to Wang Lun. Why does he look like that?"

Yang Zongying also didn't understand Mu Guiying's behavior just now, so she described it to Yang Qiniang and asked her, "Mom, do you know what Sister Mu is doing?"

Yang Qiniang didn't understand at first, but she looked at Wang Lun and Wang Qiang's body, and suddenly realized. Yang Qiniang patted Yang Zongying on the shoulder and said, "After Guiying becomes your sister-in-law, it seems that Gui Ying is learning."

Mu Guiying did that for evidence. Originally, Mu Guiying thought about many consequences, but she didn't expect Wang Qiang to die. However, this may also be Wang Qiang's last strategy. Because once Wang Qiang died, there was no proof of death. The prime minister in the court died inexplicably, and the emperor is now going to use the Yang family to fight against Liao. But it is hard to guarantee that he did not turn against him afterwards and ask the Yang family about his guilt. If you want to put an end to this, you need to prove that Wang Qiang is indeed a spy in Liaoning. And the testimony of Wang Qiang's personal bodyguard Wang Lun is the best evidence to prove that Wang Qiang is a spy in Liao.

Therefore, Mu Guiying is 'reminding' Wang Lun that if Wang Lun does not testify against Wang Qiang, although Wang Qiang's case is more troublesome, Wang Lun and these bodyguards can't escape. Because if the emperor doesn't want to speak out, they are scapegoats and death. Moreover, it is also a death penalty for harming the family and the nine ethnic groups. On the other hand, if Wang Lunken testified to Wang Qiang, he would not necessarily die. With the help of the Yang family, Wang Lun will definitely escape this disaster.

As long as Wang Lun doesn't want to die, he has to come out to testify. Moreover, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, Wang Lun will also persuade his captured companions to prove it. Because Wang Qiang also focused on a lot of power in the court. Without removing Wang Qiang's power at one time, Wang Lun will not live long even if he comes out of the cell alive.

Mu Guiying took advantage of Wang Qiang's death, and Wang Lun would certainly feel a little like him, so he hit the iron while it was hot and forced Wang Lun to make a decision. Mu Guiying was also afraid that after a long time, Wang Lun returned to Bianliang and changed his mind. In that case, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Yang Qiniang has also experienced big and small things in Tianbo Mansion, and she has seen and learned more about these things in the court. But she didn't expect Mu Guiying to think so far-reaching and made preparations early. Yang Qiniang is becoming more and more fond of Mu Guiying. Originally, after she recognized Yang Zongying, she regretted that Mu Guiying was not her daughter-in-law. However, when she just saw Yang Zongying, Yang Qiniang had a different mind, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

When he returned to the border, Mu Guiying's physical strength also recovered by half. And when she saw Mu Tianwang's unexpected joy, Mu Guiying immediately forgot her previous fatigue. Because she wanted to explain Wang Qiang's matter, Mu Guiying resisted the joy in her heart and carefully described the story with Yang Liulang, the Eighth Prince and Kou Zhun.

Of course, Mu Guiying did not mention Yang Silang's identity. And in Wang Lun, Mu Guiying is not worried. With his cleverness, he will not offend the Yang family and lose a living backer. However, when he heard that Wang Qiang was a spy sent by the State of Liao, Yang Liulang was shocked. Kou Zhun was clear, but the Eighth Prince did not believe it.

Yang Liulang was simply shocked. Wang Qiang was a spy of Liao; while Kou Zhun understood the reason why Wang Qiang had criticized the emperor against the Yang family for so many years. As for the Eighth Princes not believing it, it was also because his surname was Zhao and he was a royal man. A Liao man was found by no one in the Song Dynasty and made him a prime minister, which was a disgrace to the Zhao Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Wang Qiang was the servant of the Ministry of War, and when he came to the current emperor, he became the prime minister. At this time, it was said that Wang Qiang was a spy of Liao. How could the Eighth Prince believe it?

Therefore, the angry Eighth Prince listened to Mu Guiying's words and asked Yang Liulang and Kou Zhun to accompany him to ask Wang Lun and others for their confessions. It was not until he heard Wang Lun and those captured people say so that the Eighth Prince lost the golden make in his hand.

After taking over the golden mausp that Yang Liulang picked up for him, the Eighth Prince immediately said to Kou Zhun, "I want to go back to Bianliang City and deal with this matter in person."

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Liulang and nodded, saying, "Yes, Wang Qiang has been the prime minister for so many years, and he must have a great power in the court. If it is not handled well, it is easy to cause turbulence in the court. Wang Qiang's matter must be dealt with quickly and secretly.

After listening to Kou Zhun's analysis, Yang Liulang understood that Wang Qiang's matter was not so simple. After thinking about it, Yang Liulang said, "Well, let go of the matter of Tianmen Array and solve the matter of the court first. I will send 500 elite soldiers to follow the prince back to Beijing. Do you want to go back together?

"Yes, yes. Lord Kou will go back to Beijing with me to hear the 'Wang Qiang case'. The eighth prince's eyes lit up, but he remembered that he still moved down Pan Renmei and Pan Taishi at the beginning. If Kou Zhun helps, the Eighth Prince will also be more relaxed.

Kou Zhun smiled: "If the prince doesn't say it, I will also go back. In addition to Wang Qiang, I will also recommend Gui Ying to the emperor. It's too wrong for a talent like Gui Ying not to ask for an official position for her.

"Well, let's leave after lunch." The eighth prince nodded and got up to go back to the camp to prepare for going.

Kou Zhun was about to get up, but Yang Liulang suddenly stopped him: "Lord Kou, I have a memorial here, so please take it back to Bianliang City and give it to the Holy Lord."

With that, Yang Liulang took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and asked Yang Liulang if he could have a look. Yang Liulang smiled and nodded. Kou Zhun opened the memorial, took a brief look, and then closed it.

Then, Kou Zhun walked out and laughed, "Yang Liulang is really Yang Liulang..."
