Lin Xiao was standing in the yard talking to Lu Shan with his hands behind his back. When he heard familiar footsteps, he turned his head, glanced at Yang Mu worriedly, and asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"

Yang Mu sighed and said, "I... haven't gotten used to this kind of death yet."

Lin Xiao said: "It's hard to get used to it."

He patted his wife on the shoulder, changed the subject and said, "I'm here to give you a gift."

Yang Muda's eyes immediately lit up and he asked: "The fourth elder of the Life and Death Sect?"

Lin Xiao said: "Where is the fourth one? He is obviously the chief elder."

Yang Mu smiled helplessly and asked, "Where are the people?"

Lin Xiao pointed to a row of low barracks behind Lu Shan and said, "I gave it to my aunt. She sent someone to interrogate it."

Yang Mu thought of the graceful figure in the rice field and said, "I thought I couldn't catch him, thank you!" She also patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly.

"Congratulations to General Yang on your victory."

Yang Mu nodded, "Congratulations!"

After a pause, Yang Mu said: "Your inner strength..." She actually wanted to ask Lin Xiao if he drank sweet water on time.

Before leaving, she gave the small gourd to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Yang Mu was curious, "How did you catch the chief elder?" Wasn't it because he was weak internally?

Lin Xiao touched his nose and said, "I asked my father to take action."

Yang Mu saw something strange in his eyes and asked, "What else?"

Lin Xiao coughed dryly and said, "My father met my father-in-law on the way."

Yang Mu: "..."

So they all came to help her secretly, right?
Lin Xiao continued: "The two of them fought over the chief elder, and the chief elder almost ran away..."

Yang Mu: "..."

Lin Xiao said: "Neither of the two could defeat the other, and neither could beat the other, so they caught the chief elder together and beat him to vent his anger..."

Yang Mu: "..."

Poor chief elder...

Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on Yang Mu's face. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Did you not sleep for two nights?"

Yang Mu came back to his senses, looked at the distress in Lin Xiao's eyes, and said with a smile, "Maybe I can get some sleep tonight."

Lin Xiao sighed and said helplessly: "That's all, it will be fine after tomorrow."

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Go back quickly. You must have as much to do as I do." Many things in the Lin family barracks now fall on Lin Xiao's shoulders, and they are indeed very busy.

Although Lin Xiao was reluctant to leave, it was indeed time to leave, so he had no choice but to squeeze Yang Mu's hand and leave with Lu Shan.

Having a strong wife is not a pleasant thing!
Where is my little wife from Zhupo Village?
Yang Mu sent Lin Xiao off and came back to find Yang Siyue. Under Yang Siyue's guidance, he wrote the note and went to the palace to report it.

Today's events, no matter who is behind them, must always write down the details of what happened and send it to the imperial records of the two empress dowagers. By the way, they can also observe the reactions of the two empress dowagers.

When we arrived at the palace, it was almost nightfall, and both queens had already returned to the harem.Fortunately, Yang Mu was a woman, so she would not be criticized if she entered the harem, and the report was a major matter, so no one dared to delay in intercepting her, so Yang Mu soon appeared in front of the two empress dowagers.

In fact, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces lived in two palaces. In order to facilitate the reception of her at the same time, the location was arranged in Kunning Palace.

Yang Mu handed over the note and kept talking, recounting today's process and reporting the loss of the Suzaku Army to the two of them.

Yang Mu felt the two people's reactions carefully.

Empress Dowager Sheng obviously breathed sharply for a moment and her heart beat faster after hearing that Concubine Shu and her son were safe and sound, and that the life and death gate of Jianghu forces had suffered heavy losses.

After Empress Dowager Tao learned about it, her reaction was smaller than that of Empress Dowager Sheng.

Could it be that the Gate of Life and Death was instigated by Queen Mother Sheng?
After saying this, in order to show their reward to the Suzaku Army, the Queen Mother of the two palaces agreed that Yang Mu could send him a favor and reward him based on his merits.

Yang Mu Xie'en was about to leave, but Queen Mother Sheng said: "Vice-Commander Yang said in his statement, how many assassins were caught?"

Yang Mu said: "Under interrogation."

Empress Dowager Sheng said displeased: "Since he is an assassin, he should ask Dali Temple why the Suzaku Army set up a lynching? This is a big taboo!"

Yang Mudao: "Naturally, the Suzaku Army will not set up a private execution hall, but the Empress Dowager once told me that the safety of Concubine Shu, mother and child will be entrusted to me. If someone is assassinated, to ensure fairness, I will also hand it over to me for interrogation."

Empress Dowager Sheng narrowed her eyes and said angrily: "How come the Ai family doesn't know!"

Yang Mu said: "The Empress Dowager should not have rested at this time. Empress Dowager Sheng can send someone to ask."

Empress Dowager Sheng said angrily: "The Ai family will naturally ask."

Empress Dowager Tao glanced at Empress Dowager Sheng curiously and said: "Sister, Concubine Shu's mother and son are protected by the Suzaku Army. If there are assassins, the Suzaku Army will interrogate them. It makes sense not to bother the two masters."

Queen Mother Sheng turned her head and looked at Queen Mother Tao's expression of "Are you guilty?" She secretly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said: "In that case, Ai Jia and Deputy Commander Yang should go to Cining Palace together. I think the Emperor must The Queen Mother also wants to know what happened today."

Yang Mu responded.

When we came out of Kunning Palace, it was already dark. Several palace maids with lanterns were leading the way. Yang Mu followed Empress Dowager Sheng on her shoulder and headed to Cining Palace together.

Pushing her away slowly, Empress Dowager Sheng lowered her eyelids and glanced at Yang Mu, and said slowly: "Vice Commander Yang is really a young and promising man, a heroine, and the Yang family has a good daughter."

Yang Mu was neither humble nor arrogant. He said "I don't dare take it" and didn't say anything else.

Queen Mother Sheng narrowed her eyes and said, "The Ai family heard that Vice Commander Yang grew up in the countryside?"

Yang Mu said again very distantly, "Exactly."

Empress Dowager Sheng didn't like Yang Mu's toothpaste-like reply, so she simply pointed it out: "I'm afraid you have just entered the capital and don't know the situation in the capital. Did your father and grandfather teach you?"

Yang Mu raised his head and glanced at the cunning eyes of Queen Mother Sheng, and said, "My grandfather and father said that as a minister, you should serve the king loyally and not do what he wants."

Empress Dowager Sheng choked, took a breath slowly, and then said: "It seems that Deputy Commander Yang only listens to the words of the Empress Dowager."

Yang Mu asked back: "Don't the Queen Mother listen to the Queen Mother?"

Queen Mother Sheng was stunned, feeling angry in her heart, but she couldn't say that she didn't listen.This Yang Mu is simply pretending to be stupid and stubborn!
Then she smiled again and said calmly: "The Ai family will naturally listen to the Queen Mother's words. But I don't know how long they can listen."

This is actually a treasonous statement, implying that the Queen Mother is old and does not have many years to live.

But Yang Mu said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. With the longevity of Queen Mother Chengmin, the Queen Mother and you will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for several more decades. The Queen Mother will do her best to fulfill her filial piety."

Empress Dowager Chengmin was the grandmother of Emperor Jiaji, and she was 98 years old.

Empress Dowager Sheng gritted her teeth and glanced at Yang Mu, snorted coldly, and became sulky and stopped talking.This damn girl actually cursed her to be the daughter-in-law of that old lady, the Empress Dowager, for decades, so that wouldn't make her miserable!
Yang Mu smiled and followed silently. (End of chapter)
