Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 81: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Captain

Li Mu's expression turned gloomy.

After a long silence, he slowly said:

"Li Mu has done a great job in killing the enemy chieftain, but there is one thing I don't understand!"

Having said that, he looked at Li Mu, his eyes becoming even colder:
"Mobei is thousands of miles away, and the enemy chieftain has tens of thousands of troops around him. How did you take the enemy chieftain's head among millions of troops?"

When Fang Sheng heard his words, he immediately lost no time and said loudly:

"Yes, this matter is really strange!"

"The enemy chieftain is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops. Even if all of our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry from Tiangu Pass were to go out in full force, it would probably be difficult to defeat them and cut off their head. How did you, a captain with less than ten soldiers around you, do it?"

"Could it be..."

Fang Sheng's eyes showed a hint of viciousness:
"Are you colluding with the barbarians? What is the conspiracy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Mu.

Even the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry generals showed a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Li Mu's expression remained calm.

When he returned, he had already expected a lot of doubts.

So, at this moment he just smiled calmly:
"We definitely can't do it with just a few of us!"

"However, after we went deep into the grassland, we happened to encounter the White Wolf Tribe on the grassland. We took advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with the White Wolf, Black Wolf and Red Wolf tribes. Then we used their cavalry to defeat the barbarians in the middle of the night and took down Wugutu's head in the chaos!"

After saying that, he took out something from his arms and placed it in front of Murong Liancheng.

This is a string of pure white wolf teeth, and at the root of each sharp tooth, there is a tiny piece of amber inlaid.

Murong Liancheng took a closer look and his expression suddenly changed.

The wolf tribe and the barbarian tribe have been enemies for many years, but they have basically never invaded the border of Qian Kingdom.

Therefore, they are definitely not enemies of Qian Kingdom!
And this string of wolf teeth is the wolf tribe's token:
Wolf tooth amber!

The old general has been guarding the border for many years, how could he not recognize him!
No matter whether it is the black wolf, white wolf, red wolf or other wolf tribes, as long as they see this string of wolf tooth amber, they will regard the other party as their most sincere friend.

With this string of wolf tooth amber, it is enough to prove that Li Mu’s words are not false at all!

Murong Liancheng couldn't help but exclaim:

“I didn’t expect that the wolf tribe would give you the most precious wolf tooth amber. I didn’t expect that you would be able to gain their support!”

Li Mu smiled calmly:
"When we went deep into Mobei, we encountered the son of the White Wolf Chieftain being attacked by barbarians. We immediately rescued him. Therefore, the Wolf Tribe regarded us as friends and was willing to send troops to help us attack the barbarians!"

Hearing his words, many generals who were familiar with the various forces on the grassland and knew the wolf tribe could not help but nod their heads.

Murong Liancheng looked at Li Mu with a hint of admiration in his eyes:
"You went deep into the grassland alone and got help from the wolf tribe. No wonder you were able to kill the enemy chief!"

After saying this, he turned to look at Li Si:

"In this case, there is no doubt that Li Baichang killed the enemy chief!"

Li Si was silent.

At this moment, the anger in his heart was already burning fiercely.

But Murong Liancheng was like a mountain, pressing on his chest.

It made it impossible for him to release his anger.

If Murong Liancheng had not stopped him, he would have shot Li Mu to death on the top of Tiangu Pass.

But at this moment, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Camp had already confirmed that Wugutu Khan's head was authentic.

Li Mu also took out the wolf tooth amber, proving that he was able to defeat and kill Wugutu Khan with the help of the wolf tribe on the grassland.

This made him completely aimless.

However, his heart was filled with resentment.

The third prince wanted to kill Li Mu.
If he didn't find a way to get rid of this deposed prince, Li Tai would be so furious that he would not let him suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled and a hypocritical smile appeared on his face: "Li Baichang has made great contributions, and he should be rewarded accordingly."

"However, I have to report this great achievement to the court before I can reward you. You can go back now!"

Although Li Mu was already the deposed crown prince, if he was killed, it would inevitably become an excuse for political enemies in the court to attack him.

He has always been unwilling to bear this crime.

That's why he kept using underhanded tricks to make Li Mu die inexplicably.

But now it seems that I have to do it myself!
Compared to being charged with the crime of killing the deposed crown prince, he now cares more about Li Tai's thoughts.

If the Third Prince no longer values ​​me, I am afraid that I will never be able to hold on to the position of the commander of Tiangu Pass!

Don’t even think about rising to the top from now on!
Therefore, Li Si had made up his mind at this time that he would find a way to kill Li Mu tonight as soon as he returned to the death row camp.

But at this moment, Murong Liancheng suddenly stood up.

He smiled and glanced at Li Mu, then turned his gaze to Li Si:
"General, you are right. Such a great achievement must be reported to the court before the reward can be confirmed!"

"but……"

As the subject changed, Li Si's heart sank quietly.

"Captain Li Bai was able to take down the enemy chieftain in a million-strong army. Such talent is extremely rare!"

"Although my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cannot confer awards without the permission of the court, I can transfer them into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Hearing this, Li Si and others' faces became completely gloomy.

"General, Li Mu is from my death row camp. By doing this, are you suspected of overstepping your authority and poaching him?"

Murong Liancheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"The Emperor Taizu of Daqian has issued an oral order: The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the tiger and wolf division of Daqian. They can be selected from the best armies and recruited. The commanders of all armies must cooperate unconditionally!"

Having said this, he looked at Li Si and smiled faintly:
"General, are you going to go against the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu?"

In an instant, Li Si's heart sank to the bottom.

Emperor Taizu of Daqian did indeed issue such an oral order when he created the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Moreover, this oral order has been recorded in the history books by historians.

This does not allow for any changes!

We will absolutely not tolerate any disobedience from future generations!
Even though Li Sigui was the cousin of the current queen and the commander of Tiangu Pass,

He also did not dare to risk the wrath of the world and openly disobey the oral instructions and ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu!

The veins on Li Si's forehead were slightly wrinkled, and a barely noticeable trace of cold sweat had already appeared.

Seeing that he remained silent, Murong Liancheng continued:
"Li Mu's achievements have not yet been determined, so after being transferred to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he will temporarily serve as the captain of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

"Xie Lang failed to supervise properly, was unclear about leading troops, and attacked without authorization. He should have been punished with 300 military sticks, but considering his meritorious service in assisting Li Mu, he will be demoted to a sergeant and will obey Li Mu's orders!"

At this point, Murong Liancheng smiled:
"As for the three hundred military sticks... considering that Li Mu returned with great merit, General Li was promoted to commander today, and he also achieved great merit, it's a double blessing, so let's forget it!"

Hearing his words, Li Si's expression became uncertain, but there was a hint of hatred in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

This old fellow Murong Liancheng usually hides in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry camp and seems to be very old.

Who would have thought that he would be so steady and confident in his attack, and his performance would be impeccable.

At this moment, when Li Si looked at all the generals, he saw that although they were all silent, they were all looking at Murong Liancheng.

The expression in his eyes was full of conviction.

Even Fang Sheng and other confidants were speechless at this moment.

Li Si only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Facing this veteran, he was completely powerless...
