Mugui

Chapter 438 Secret Weapon
Yang Mu looked at Mrs. Bao's expression, sighed, and said, "She will not be able to survive any crime of killing the emperor's heir or framing the princess."

Mrs. Bao pursed her dry lips and said, "I know this is unfair to you... but... we have known each other for 40 years, and she has been kind to me."

Yang Mu nodded slightly and said, "I know. If I fall into her hands one day, I will definitely beg her to let me live."

Mrs. Bao didn't expect that the little girl in front of her, who had only known her for more than a year, actually knew her so well.She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Yang Mu said: "Auntie, I can only say, try your best."

Since they met, Mrs. Bao has helped her so much without asking for anything in return. She just spared one person's life and did not ask her to keep her status as the Crown Princess.

Mrs. Bao's eyes instantly brightened, and she looked at Yang Mu's expression full of guilt and joy.

Yang Mu patted her wrinkled hand and said, "But I can't keep my identity."

Mrs. Bao said quickly: "It doesn't matter! As long as you stay alive!"

Yang Mu patted Old Mrs. Bao's hand again and said, "Ma'am, please clean up and report to the Suzaku Army today."

Mrs. Bao's hands trembled. She felt a little sorry for Yang Mu and said, "No, I'd better wait until the matter of the Crown Princess is settled before I join the army."

Lest the child feel uncomfortable looking at him, and lest he couldn't help but do something wrong.

Without much persuasion, Yang Mu got up and got off the carriage and entered his own duty room in the palace.

After taking over the palace guard, it was obvious that there were more official duties than when he was in the palace. In addition to the increase in the number of people coming in and out every day, it was also necessary to arrange the security work of the harem.

Yang Mu looked up from the pile of documents and felt deeply that he was a security captain.

She casually threw the processed documents on her right, took out one from the pile of documents on her left, and lowered her head to look at it.

This was the list of people who came and went before she took over the palace guard yesterday. Among the list of hundreds of people, Yang Mu saw a familiar name - Princess Yulan.

As the future sister-in-law of Empress Dowager Tao, it was normal for her to enter the palace. What made Yang Mu feel strange was that the time when Yan Yulan entered the palace was the time for the regular morning meeting.

Are you coming so early to please your future sister-in-law?

But Yang Mu remembered that this afternoon, Yan Yulan came again, also to see Empress Dowager Tao.

Do you think you are too diligent?
Yang Mu called Yin Zhu and said, "Go check and find out why Princess Yulan entered the palace twice yesterday."

Because they had just taken over the palace, the Suzaku Army was not yet so efficient. However, Yinzhu still came back and replied two hours later, saying: "Princess Yulan came to deliver a silk handkerchief to Empress Dowager Tao in the morning, and I heard about it in the afternoon. Regarding the matter of the Crown Princess, come and visit.”

Yang Mu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is she still related to the Crown Princess?"

Yin Zhu said: "My subordinates only found out after asking that Princess Yulan's mother is the niece of the Dowager Princess and the cousin of the Princess Regent!"

Yang Mu frowned, Yan Yulan's identity is so complicated?

Yin Zhu said: "Master Yan and Mrs. Yan are very low-key, so few people can think of this relationship. However, Princess Yulan only said a few words to the Crown Princess outside the door and did not meet. The Crown Princess The concubine asked Princess Yulan to take care of herself."

Yang Mu pondered for a long time, but could not think of anything wrong with this meeting, so he said: "Please report this to Cining Palace and ask the Empress Dowager to know."

It doesn't matter if she can't figure it out, as long as the Queen Mother knows.

Yin Zhu hurried away again.

Yang Mu felt a headache when he looked at the roster of eunuchs and maids in the palace that he had obtained from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Five thousand eunuchs and eight thousand maids.No wonder the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot make ends meet. This is a proper gold-swallowing beast worth more than 1!

No wonder there are intrigues in the palace. This is because there are too many people and human relations are too complicated!
Yang Mu silently put down the roster and continued to concentrate on his official duties.

In the afternoon, Bai Yao came to report that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had accelerated the trial of the Queen Mother Sheng matter, and the case would be finalized in a few days.

Yang Mu took a breath and finally settled a major event!

After nightfall, Yang Mu ordered people to patrol closely to prevent anyone from getting into trouble during the troubled year.

The Crown Princess was under house arrest, and the Regent was besieged in the palace. The possibility of Li Yi ascending to the throne was already slim.

The Empress Dowager is currently in charge of the government, and Li You's voice will soon become louder. Yang Mu is afraid that someone will jump over the wall at this juncture.

After Yang Mu got off duty, he did not leave. Instead, he inspected the palace in person. The palace was so big that his feet were sore from walking around.

She returned to the duty room and was about to take a rest when Bai Yao walked over quickly and said: "Deputy Commander, news has come back from the valley."

Yang Mu's eyes lit up, he stood up and asked, "How is it?"

Bai Yao smiled and said, "It's done! Zhang Xiuhua sent someone to ask, when will you have time to check and accept it?"

Yang Mu felt excited and said, "Go now!"

Bai Yao smiled and said: "Deputy Commander, just go and your subordinates will stay behind."

The deputy commander has been on duty a long time ago, so there is no dereliction of duty.

Yang Mu responded and galloped out of the city gate on Xuanbao.

Outside the city, there is a flat valley hidden in the dense mountains, which was where the Suzaku Army was stationed in the past.

At this moment, there was a deafening explosion, followed by Yang Mu's loud laughter: "It's done!"

Zhang Xiuhua, the centurion of the weapons camp, said: "It's a pity that large quantities of red phosphorus will not arrive until tomorrow morning, otherwise it can be refined in large quantities now!"

Yang Mu looked at the dozen or so football-sized black balls that had been made, rubbed his hands, and said: "When the red phosphorus arrives tomorrow, we will immediately refine it in large quantities and send it to Yanzhou, Ganzhou and Mochuan. Go to Dashun Military Camp!"

Although the Suzaku Army cannot leave the capital, she has Cao Mudan!
In order to stay in the capital to guard their grandson Yang Shitou, the old couple moved the headquarters of the Wan'an Escort Bureau from Baiyun County to the capital.

As soon as the black powder is refined, Wan'an Escort Bureau can start delivering goods!
The army was moving slowly and the escort carriage was moving fast. Black powder might be delivered as soon as the fighting started ahead.

Zhang Xiuhua also said excitedly: "This black gunpowder is too powerful. A ball can injure at least dozens of people. It will also let those foreign barbarians who take advantage of the situation have a taste of the power of Dashun!"

Yang Mu patted Zhang Xiuhua on the shoulder and said, "You are also smart and cautious, otherwise you wouldn't be able to refine the black powder so quickly."

Zhang Xiuhua is already thirty this year, and when the teenage deputy commander praised him, he even blushed and said: "Vice Commander, please go back to the city quickly, we are here."

Yang Mu nodded, mounted Xuanbao, and rushed to the capital again.

Yang Mu, who was riding into the wind at this moment, didn't know that when he left the capital, he had a good time and wandered around the valley, but he couldn't go back.

Because just when Yang Mu left the city, something big happened in the capital.
