Chapter 342 Traitor
Mo Yun thought of Chu Yue and felt sorry for her.
She was being used by someone, and was still thinking about how to deal with Chu Li.
However, the affairs of Chu Yue and Chu Li had nothing to do with him. What he wanted now was power.
Only by having power can he fulfill Miss Ling's wish.
Mo Yun suppressed his sadness as he walked out of the tent.
He told Qin Wei these things today because he wanted to win over the most powerful general of the Jinlin Kingdom.
Only if he stood behind him would he have a chance to compete with the other two princes for the throne.
He was not taking advantage of Qin Wei, after all, what happened between his mother and Qin Wei was true.
It's only right that he knows the truth.
Mo Yun touched the jade pendant on his chest and said to himself: Mother, a girl named Ling Xiyan gave my son the courage to cheer up and I will definitely avenge you.
......
The Great Chu military camp.
Chu Li felt that there was a traitor and thought of a way to catch him.
She told Mu Feng about her future battle plan. Mu Feng's eyes trembled and he said worriedly: "Every step you take is a risky move. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Chu Li's eyes were firm. "Well, the military rations are only enough for ten days. The Sixth Prince and Pang Bin have gone to nearby cities to collect military rations. I don't believe that the military rations from the court can arrive so quickly. If the food is really cut off, it will be troublesome. We can't waste time with the Golden Scale Army any longer."
She sneaked into Wuyou City and found that the Jinlin Kingdom was also short of silver and food, and the people were complaining.
She was ready to end this war as quickly as possible.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you." Mu Feng believed in Chu Li's judgment.
On the second day, the Golden Scale Army launched another fierce attack on them.
Chu Li commanded the battle with gloomy eyes. She released several false news yesterday. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Golden Scale Army to attack.
The only false news from Chu Yue was that the Chu army had run out of food and was unable to fight back.
So, Chu Li knew where the traitor was.
Mu Jiangge said excitedly: "Today we have finally washed away the shame of the past few days. The Golden Scale Army was beaten and fled in panic by us!"
Xie Jingchuan has always been cautious, but after this battle, a smile spread across his face. "Yes, Commander, the morale of the soldiers is high now."
Chu Li looked at the two of them, "Very good, I found a traitor in ***'s camp, you must be extra careful."
Mu Jiangge got angry instantly, it was indeed her!
Xie Jingchuan nodded and said, "Yes, Commander, we have an idea."
After the two left, Chu Li called the leader of the shadow guards.
"Wu Xie, I always feel that *** is very suspicious. I found out that she seemed to have been abused by Long Moyang when she was in the Golden Scale Kingdom. You should ride a fast horse back to the princess's mansion as soon as possible to find out whether Long Moyang was imprisoned by her."
"Yes, young master." Wuxie did it immediately.
......
Beijing.
Pei Ye received a secret letter, which said: It will take a few days for military rations to reach the border.
But he clearly remembered that Chu Li had asked the Ministry of War for military rations a few days ago.
How can we fight without food on the front line? We will just be waiting to die.
With a cold look in his eyes, he put on his nightgown and came to the Ministry of War.
Minister of War Xiao Cang felt a headache after reading the imperial edict.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and heard Pei Ye's voice behind him.
"The fighting is intense at the front, why don't you send military rations to the border?"
When Xiao Cang heard that it was Pei Ye, he explained, "Commander Pei, His Majesty said that the Imperial Guards need rations to protect the Imperial City, and the Mu Family Army also needs rations. The food in the granary will only be collected in a few days, so there is nothing we can do about it."
Pei Ye sneered coldly. The imperial guards were in the capital and had no shortage of food.
Most of the Mu family army’s military rations are self-sufficient.
Emperor Qingyuan wanted to force Chu Li to death, or accuse her of being a bad leader.
His dagger moved forward a little, Xiao Cang felt a pain in his waist, and Pei Ye said coldly.
"I said, you write."
"Commander Pei, please don't embarrass me. This is going against the will of the emperor and you will lose your head."
Pei Ye said calmly, "I'm holding a dagger against you and forcing you to write this. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Cang also hoped that the prince would return safely, so he said in a fake tone: "Okay, you forced me to do that."
Pei Ye asked Xiao Cang to write down an order to immediately transport military rations to the border, and stamped it with the seal of the Ministry of War.
He accepted the order and said, "Send your people to the relevant cities. Don't try to play tricks. My people will be watching the whole process."
Xiao Cang called his subordinates and asked them to give orders.
Pei Ye put away the dagger.
Xiao Cang looked at his back and said, "Commander Pei may lose his position as commander of the Imperial Guards and may be executed. Is it worth it?"
Pei Ye turned around and smiled, looking at him calmly, "For Chu Li, for the people of Great Chu, of course it's worth it."
Xiao Cang looked at his smile and was shocked.
Pei Ye is a man.
Xiao Cang was annoyed: It was a pity that he had done so many things for Emperor Qingyuan. If he had half the courage of Pei Ye, perhaps the Brave Army and General Bai and his wife would not have died tragically.
Three days later, Pei Ye was arrested by the palace guards and thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
When Pei Ye was arrested, he looked calm.
Xiao Cang was still a man with some conscience, and reported his affairs to Emperor Qingyuan three days later.
The order to transport grain had been issued three days earlier, and it was impossible to retrieve it.
The jailer said, "Commander Pei, I'm sorry. His Majesty has removed you from your position as commander of the imperial guards. His Majesty was furious and said he would kill you. The Empress Dowager pleaded for you, and His Majesty asked us to punish you with fifty lashes of the cane. Please don't blame us."
Pei Ye lay on the bench nonchalantly, "Come on, just fight."
Although he had nothing, at least he could help Chu Li.
The jailer hit Pei Ye with a stick, but Pei Ye didn't feel any pain at all.
Loud noise, small raindrops.
He looked at the jailer who was beating him with a stick behind him. The jailer had a ferocious look on his face but was still beating him hard.
After fifty strokes of the cane, Pei Ye only suffered minor injuries.
Although the clothes were torn and there were bloodstains on the skin, it was not serious.
When only he and the jailer were left, Pei Ye asked, "Who do you belong to?"
The jailer whispered, "General Mu is not convenient to come forward in this matter. If he speaks for the prince, it will be like adding fuel to the fire. That's why he had someone write a letter to you, and you have suffered. As for your position as the commander of the imperial guards, the old general will find a way to deal with it in the future."
When Pei Ye heard that it was General Mu's plan, the corners of his lips curled up instantly.
Grandfather, we are one.
Being exploited by my grandfather, what does it matter if I have to endure a little hardship?
My grandfather is really smart. On the surface, he is not on good terms with Chu Li, but he can tell at a glance that he will help Chu Li.
Pei Ye instantly felt like his grandson-in-law.
He said softly: "Tell the old man to let him do it. I, Pei Ye, will take care of anything that happens."
"Yes, Commander Pei." The jailer left him some medicine and left.
......
On the other hand, Ye Hanting was handling the corruption case of the Governor of the Grand Canal in Jiangnan.
These days he was thinking about Chu Li all the time.
He was delighted to learn that she had won the battle.
I was worried when I learned that she encountered difficulties.
He looked at Lan Yi and asked, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
Lan Yi nodded, "Everything is ready."
Ye Hanting nodded, "Let's go."
