After Mu Ying finished handling the matter, he was returning from the barracks. The weather was hot, so he found a place to sit and drink tea. But suddenly I heard several women gossiping over there.
Mu Ying didn’t accidentally listen to what they said, but their voices were too loud and they couldn’t help but listen.
“Do you know? I heard that Xue Xiang Xue Duansheng and the others had encountered pirates before…” said a woman.
Mu Ying’s ears suddenly stood up.
“I heard that the eldest daughter Xue Mayun, the wife of King Zheng, was robbed by the pirates.”
“What? Is it true?” Another person was surprised.
“Of course it’s true. This is what my cousin’s third aunt’s uncle and the others heard. It is said that it’s true.”
“That’s so miserable. What a miserable thing? I heard that she was blamed for being in the limelight. Otherwise, why did everyone else escape? She was the only one left.”
“After hearing Zhao’s statement that turned black and white, they all believed it was Xue Mayun’s fault.”
“It’s so pitiful. I didn’t expect her to fall to such a level.”
Mu Ying was shocked when he heard them saying this and quickly rode back to the mansion. At this time, the secret guard had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Mu Ying in, the secret guard quickly knelt down: “See King of Conquest.”
Seeing that his face was strange, Mu Ying was even more worried and said concisely: “Report quickly.”
“Miss Xue has something wrong!”
“What happened?” Mu Ying was shocked. Although he heard that something happened to her just now, he still had a glimmer of hope. Hope was just a few common people spread rumors. If he heard the secret guard say this today, his heart suddenly became irritated.
“According to the news from the secret guards sent, they arrived near Liangshan, Boyang, and were robbed by pirates. At that time, there were many pirates. In order to save her family, Miss Xue Moyun was willing to take risks and was taken hostage by pirates, which made their family escape. The secret guards had only one person at that time and could not fight the enemy with the pirates, so they went day and night, and quickly heard the news and brought reinforcements.”
Mu Ying was shocked after hearing this, slapped the table angrily, and the solid table exploded to pieces in an instant. His eyes were furious, his forehead was exposed, and he picked up his sword and prepared to go out.
“King Zheng, don’t be impulsive. You are not going alone.” The secret guard quickly stopped him. Now he has no military power. If he goes alone, it will be useless to be alone.
“Let go.” Mu Ying pulled out his sword angrily and pointed at the secret guard’s neck.
But this secret guard was sincere and would never let Mu Ying go to die, so he remained motionless.
Mu Ying couldn’t do it, so he couldn’t get down and took back his sword.
The secret guard took the opportunity to dissuade him: “For the current plan,, he could only report this to the emperor immediately. Let him send troops to wipe out the pirates. “The secret guard suggested.
Yes, Mu Ying calmed down. He heard that Xue Maiyun was in trouble and was confused for a moment. When he heard him say this, he felt it was reasonable and hurried into the palace.
Among the people who escorted Xue Duansheng and others, two of them were Mu Zheng’s eyewitnesses, and news also came. After learning about this, Mu Zheng was very regretful. If he had known this, he would have to keep Xue Maiyun alive and not let her go so far. But now it is too late to regret now. The most urgent task is to thank him for saving Xue Maiyun.
At this time, the eunuch came to spread and said that Mu Ying was asking for a meeting. Mu Zheng knew that he must have come for Xue Maiyun.
“Call him in quickly. “
Mu Zheng kept paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, worried. Seeing Mu Ying coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him.
“Brother, brother, have you heard of it? “Mu Ying said anxiously. “I have heard of it already. “Before Mu Ying finished speaking, Mu Zheng nodded and agreed.
“Then what should we do now? “
“Hmph, these pirates have been rampant for a long time. I have long wanted to find an opportunity to annihilate them. This time, I dared to touch my people and I will definitely wipe them out. “Mu Zheng had a gloomy face.
“Then what are you waiting for? Please send troops quickly by brother. “Mu Ying knelt down.
“But, who should I send? “Because these pirates were treacherous and cunning, Mu Zheng had sent troops to siege him before, but they were both defeated and could not be defeated for a long time. He had to find someone with strong abilities. “Let me go.” “Mu Ying asked.
Mu Zheng had thought that Mu Ying would go, but Mu Ying had handed over military power now and was a idle prince. If Mu Zheng sent him again at this time, it would be bad. But there was no suitable person at the moment.
“I heard that the emperor said he would send troops to wipe out the pirates. Father, let me go. “Mu Zhuoshi, who rushed over, heard their conversation and knelt on the ground to ask for troops to go.
Mu Zheng glanced at him and knew that he still couldn’t let go of Xue Mayun.
But Mu Zheng must think about the country. As the prince of a country, he must not let Mu Zhuoshi take risks, causing uneasiness in the government, and the princes compete for power and power. In addition, Mu Zhuoshi was young and energetic and lacked experience, so this group of pirates was difficult to deal with.
