Chapter 808

"According to what you said, Daiqin is a talented person." Hongye smiled, "Talented and motivated, no wonder Morigen is willing to promote him and let him be on an equal footing with his own son. But I heard that He Xige is also very capable. When two talented people are together, they will either appreciate each other or one will rise while the other will fall. I wonder what the relationship between He Xige and Daiqin is like?"

Mu Tong smiled and said, "Young masters from big families are so arrogant. How can they accept being an official of the same rank as the former minor official? It's just that Mo Rigen is in the middle, so they give each other face. Now that Mo Rigen is dead, it's just the same as before."

Hongye hummed, "Mo Rigen is dead, and the Yuanzheng Empire didn't send an outsider to guard the city. It seems that they still trust the newcomers. There is no two suns in the sky, and I wonder who has the final say between the two of them?"

Mu Tong smiled and said, "More than half of the people in the city are Mo Rigen's old generals. It's very likely that they helped the young master to rise to power. Dai Qin is not without power, but he comes from a small family and is not as powerful as He Xige."

As he was speaking, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, General Mu, the defender of Yandang City, He Xige, was so angry about the murder of his father that he killed our messenger and sent his head back."

"As expected." Mu Tong smiled. "He Xige is really the one who calls the shots in this city. He even dares to do something like this, and he is not afraid that others will report him to Yun Huan and punish him for overstepping authority."

Hongye tapped her face with her fingers a few times and said, "Two countries do not kill envoys when they are in a friendly relationship. He Xige does not play by the rules. He is indeed very courageous. Could he be a man of temperament?" She suddenly smiled, "Even if he is, he is. But what about Daiqin? Didn't you say that he has some ulterior motives? He can stand by and watch when faced with such a big event - is it because he can't persuade him, or does he not want to persuade him?"

Mu Tong laughed out loud: "The Poison Lady is the Poison Lady. She really hit the nail on the head. I guess Dai Qin didn't want to get involved in this matter, or he might want to take the opportunity to test our bottom line. He allowed He Xige to kill the envoy just to see if we would attack the city again."

Hongye groaned, "We really can't start a war right now. Firstly, we don't have enough power, and secondly, confrontation is not conducive to establishing diplomatic relations. In this case, He Xige is a big obstacle and must be eliminated."

Mu Tong shrugged and said, "How? Send Qi Ji to kill him? That's no different from raising an army."

Hongye thought about it and suddenly smiled: "I remembered something. When I went north with Yunxi before, I brought back a defense map of Yandang City. I wonder if I can still find it? If I can find it, I can use it to scare people."

Mu Tong was startled: "What kind of crazy idea have you come up with?"

Hongye waved her hand, signaling Mu Tong to come closer. After just a few words, Mu Tong burst into laughter: "She is indeed a poisonous lady. Her hands are poisonous and her heart is even more poisonous."

Hongye's face sternly said, "I see you want to eat poisonous insects and poisonous plants again? No problem. When I take over Yandang City, I will prepare enough for you."

Mu Tong waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no. I'm going to work right now. It is my honor to serve the great Queen."

Hongye smiled and hit him: "Go quickly."

One night a few days later, there was a bustle in Yandang City.

Mu Tong, dressed simply, was tied up and sent to He Xige's house.

When He Xige saw Mu Tong, his eyes immediately bulged with anger, "Traitor! Previously, you teamed up with Xiao Yunxi to kill my father, and now you dare to sneak into the city and try to steal my military intelligence! You are guilty of death!" Another general came forward and presented a map: "General, a map of Yandang City was found on this man. I don't know where he got it from."

Hearing this, Mu Tong acted nervous.

  He Xige unfolded the map and saw that it was well marked. Although it was incomplete, the important garrison locations were clearly marked. It would be a big taboo to fall into the hands of the enemy. He flipped through the map and soon discovered something mysterious - the handwriting was so familiar, it was actually Daiqin's handwriting. Could this matter be related to Daiqin?

Just like adding fuel to the fire, He Xige threw the map to the ground with a bang, and then slapped Mu Tong twice: "Tell me! Who gave it to you? Was it Daiqin?"

Mu Tong smiled lightly: "If you want to kill me, then kill me. I have nothing to say."

He Xige drew his sword and was about to kill Mu Tong.

The generals hurriedly grabbed He Xige and said, "General, this matter is suspicious. It is better to keep him alive so that we can confront General Daiqin."

He Xige asked angrily, "Where is Daiqin?"

The general hurriedly reported: "According to reports, there are spies at the South Gate. General Daiqin heard the news and went to investigate."

"South Gate? The South Gate corresponds to the City in the Clouds..." another general said.

Mu Tong snorted and sneered.

This laughter was like a needle piercing his heart. He Xige said angrily, "Is it a defense or collusion? We'll know when we catch him! Someone, bring Daiqin here for interrogation!"

At the same time, at the south gate of Yandang City, Daiqin received a secret report: "The emperor has heard about the killing of the envoy, and he is furious. He Xige is afraid and wants the general to take the blame. For safety, the general should quickly escape from the disaster."

He came here in a hurry just because he heard that there was a spy activity at the South Gate. He never thought that he didn't find the spy, but received such a warning, which made Daiqin confused. He didn't agree with He Xige's killing of Yue Yin's peace envoy, but he was forced by He Xige's power and couldn't confront him. Who would have thought that He Xige would shirk responsibility and put all the blame on him. Isn't this bullying? Although Daiqin was humble, this matter involved his life and property, and he couldn't hide anymore.

While thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly heard a commotion in the city again. He could see torches waving in the distance, and it was obvious that some people were rushing towards the south gate. Before he could figure out the situation, a ragged soldier ran out from the darkness, panting and saying, "Oh no, oh no, General He Xige has sent people to arrest you!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of soldiers arrived. They were He Xige's personal soldiers. "Daiqin, my general wants you to come over and question him!"

"What are you asking? You are here to arrest the general!" the soldier screamed, "Everyone, protect the general!"

Seeing that the newcomers were indeed fully armed, Daiqin's personal soldiers were unwilling to be outdone. They immediately stood in front of Daiqin and protected their general: "My general is of the same rank as He Xige, but He Xige, relying on the support of his family, has ignored our friendship and used our general as a soldier. Now even you slaves are getting ahead of me. What? Do you want to abuse lynching?"

He Xige's personal soldiers had never suffered such a loss before, and they immediately showed their weapons: "You are born as a slave, and you dare to challenge our general! In the past, I only spared your life for the sake of the old general, but now you dare to disobey my orders. Come on, everyone, take him down for me!"
