Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

After burning their general and a dozen soldiers, the military camp guarding not far away would definitely catch up and take revenge if they heard the news.

What Yan Mu didn't expect was that Shou'an Town wouldn't open the city gate and wouldn't let these people in.

Sikong Mingyue also heard it and hurriedly shouted to the people on the tower: "Open the city gate quickly! Let the people enter the city quickly!"

Although she shouted so loudly, no one answered her.

Yan Mu frowned, "They are on the city tower. They can see further than us and hear clearly than us. They will not open the city gate."

Sikong Mingyue gritted her teeth and looked at these people. They had not recovered from the fear just now. Now they were facing the danger of life and death. They were already cowering together in fear.

There were old and young among the people. They had no weapons and no strength to resist.And the screams kept coming, indicating that one after another people were being killed.

Sikong Mingyue and Yan Mu stood in front of the villagers, and soon a small group of imperial soldiers arrived.Their faces were full of anger, as if they were the victims. The long knives in their hands were dripping with blood, and countless innocent people died tragically.

The two of them had no time to hesitate and could only fight to meet him.But there are only two of them, and there are hundreds of people on the other side. This is an absolute crushing kill.

Yan Mu was slashing one by one, his eyes red with blood, and his body was inevitably injured. Even so, he still couldn't stop the soldiers from rushing over and hacking at the people.

Sikong Mingyue was also injured. She looked at the tower in despair and looked at Sikong Qingyun who had an indifferent expression.

The other soldiers in the tower couldn't stand it anymore, "General, we can't just watch them kill people under our noses, not to mention Princess Mingyue among them!"

"Yes, there are only a hundred and ten people on the other side. As soon as we open the door, they will be afraid. We can drive them away without spending a single soldier."

Sikong Qingyun glared at the two soldiers, "Do you want to resist the king's decree?"

"Of course my subordinates don't dare, but..."

"Hmph, even if Princess Mingyue is killed, she will be the one to blame."

Yan Muzhi couldn't stop it, and it would cost his own life, but looking at the people, he really couldn't escape alone.At this moment, Tuoba Feier and his party arrived.

They joined the battle, and because there were Sikong Mingyue's own subordinates and Tuoba Siqi's subordinates, four or fifty people came up at once. Although they were still no longer hostile, they were forced to see that they could no longer massacre the people.

In this way, he gritted his teeth and persisted. When it was dawn and the curfew had passed, the city gate slowly opened.The West Vietnamese soldiers saw the city gate open and fled in a hurry.

The people hurried into the city, but Sikong Mingyue and Yan Mu were already injured.

When they arrived in the city, Sikong Qingyun didn't show up again, so they had no choice but to find an inn to stay in, and then invited a doctor to look at his injuries.

After a short rest for a day, they continued to set off early the next morning, and finally arrived at Hongye City before dark.

Sikong Mingyue had made arrangements in advance. After taking them into the city, he would first place them in a house outside the palace.Sooner or later, her father will find out about her saving them. She has to go back to her hometown to plead guilty and then make arrangements.

Arriving at the gate of the city, a 50-[-]-year-old man was guarding there with a few guards. When he saw Sikong Mingyue, he drove his horse forward to salute.

"Princess, the king invites your friends to accompany you to the palace."

Sikong Mingyue pursed her lips, obviously not expecting her father to know so soon.

Yan Mu asked in a low voice: "Will your father kill us? Or hand it over to the court? We have been struggling for so long in vain? So you didn't make arrangements before saving us?"

"Shut up!" Sikong Mingyue said angrily.

"I'd better run away first." Yan Mu said.

"late!"

Sikong Mingyue whipped the horse under Yan Mu on the buttocks, and the horse rushed into the city with a roar.

In the front hall of the palace, Sikong Mingyue brought them in and asked the maid to bring tea and snacks.

Tuoba Feier was so tired that after placing her brother down, she slumped down on the chair next to her. "Sister Mingyue, why don't we leave Hongye City so as not to cause you any trouble."

"Hmm..." Tuoba Siqi wanted to say something but couldn't.

"You are my friends, I can still protect you!" Sikong Mingyue said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a tall man with a beard strode in.His hairstyle is the same as that of Sikong Qingyun, except that he wears a golden crown on his head.

This man was as strong as a wild bear.

When Sikong Mingyue saw him, she immediately stood up straight, bowed her head and saluted.

"Father."

This is the Southwest King, and Yan Mu and the others also stood up and saluted.

The Southwest King glanced at them, then walked to the front, turned around and stood still, and then looked at Sikong Mingyue.

"Did you know you were in big trouble?"

His voice was low and full of pressure.

Sikong Mingyue lowered her head and whispered: "My daughter just wants to save her friends..."

"Don't you know who they are? Saving them would be tantamount to offending the court?"

"daughter……"

"You let my father down so much!"

After scolding, the Southwest King looked at Yan Mu and the others again and snorted coldly, "I, the Southwest Temple, cannot afford to support you, so I will send someone to send you back to Kyoto."

"Father……"

Clap!
Before Sikong Mingyue could finish her words, she was slapped by the Southwest King.

Tuoba Siqi hurriedly stepped forward to protect Sikong Mingyue, but was kicked out by the Southwest King.

Seeing this, Yan Mu hurriedly caught Tuoba Siqi.

"King Southwest, the princess saved us out of friendship, maybe she was careless. We don't want to be disturbed, so we will leave now."

"King Zhenbei, you are extremely smart, you shouldn't be able to understand what I'm saying, right?" King Southwest narrowed his eyes.

Yan Mu pursed his lips, he would not let them go, but would hand them over to the court to calm the court's anger.

"I also know that you disobeyed government orders and clashed with the imperial army outside Shou'an Town. Mingyue is just a woman. She did something wrong because of your instigation. I can only hand you over to the imperial court." Only then will the two parties avoid further conflicts." The Southwest King said coldly.

Yan Mu chuckled when he heard this.

"We saved the people in the southwest, and you are just ungrateful, but you still want to blame us?"

"We and the imperial court could have been at peace with each other!"

"Why should you deceive yourself? The imperial court is killing your people indiscriminately just to provoke conflicts and use it as an excuse to attack the southwest. You have been forbearing again and again, which is nothing more than suffering for the people. In the end, a war is inevitable. In my opinion, It is this repeated forbearance that makes the Southwest Army and the people fear the imperial court. You have already lost this battle before it even begins!" Yan Mu said word by word.

"It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in my affairs in the southwest!" the king of southwest roared.

"If you ask me, the men in your southwest are not as bloody as Princess Mingyue, and the women are being suppressed by you. There is really no hope at all. It is better to give up this land earlier, clamp your tail, and be numb. Let’s go to the desert to the west.”

"You!" King Southwest gritted his teeth, "Someone, take them to the woodshed and lock them up!" (End of Chapter)
