Fragrant willow catkins

Prime Minister Bai watched Ningxu moving among dozens of people with ease, as if she was playing.

"Quick! Go and dispatch some people! Tell them not to guard the palace gate! Come and support us!" Prime Minister Bai pushed a guard.

"Yes!"

The guard took the order, but before he could take a step forward, a whistle was heard from outside the imperial study.

Prime Minister Bai: "What is it?"

"Prime Minister! It's the whistle for retreat! The situation may have changed! Should we retreat first?"

Prime Minister Bai couldn't believe it. He was escorted to the door by the crowd. When he opened the door, he saw the soldiers brought by Prime Minister Bai fleeing in panic. They swarmed towards the palace gate without any order. Some of them had even been captured by the imperial guards and tied up with hemp ropes.

"Prime Minister...we have failed..."

"Retreat! Prime Minister!"

Prime Minister Bai turned around and saw Li Ze sitting with his legs crossed, playing with a sword in his hand, with a smug and provocative smile on his face. He understood Li Ze's lip language and saw that what Li Ze said was, "Prime Minister Bai, are you still rebelling?"

Prime Minister Bai: "What kind of emperor are you?! You are colluding with the witch and will bring disaster to the world!"

Li Ze spread his hands and said, "So what? You, the Bai family, are committing treason, and your entire clan must be executed."

Prime Minister Bai was extremely angry. He had thought that he was an upright gentleman who cared about the country, but he didn't expect that he was such a waste!

On the other side, Ningxu took the opportunity to rescue Mr. He from the guards during the fight and pushed him to Li Ze's side.

Mr. He immediately straightened his clothes and stood up, standing behind Li Ze to protect him.

Prime Minister Bai: "Retreat!"

Li Ze: "Meng'er! He's trying to run!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xu took the Yuluo sword back into her hand, jumped up on the spot, and stabbed at Prime Minister Bai over the soldiers' heads.

The soldiers reacted and formed a human wall in front of Prime Minister Bai.

Suddenly, a voice of "Hurry!" came from outside the door.

I saw Bai Si driving a carriage, rushing towards this side through the crowd, with people around him resisting the attack.

"Father! Come quickly!"

Prime Minister Bai didn't care about his own embarrassment. He almost crawled down the steps and jumped into the carriage, "Son! Let's retreat!"

By the time Ningxu had knocked down all the men, the Bai family's father and son had already driven away in a carriage, raising a cloud of dust.

Ningxu was about to pick up her sword and chase him, but Li Ze walked up to her and stopped her, "He won't give up."

Mr. He also walked to the door, and Li Ze asked him to read the decree.

He Lao: "Order! The Bai family has rebelled, tarnished the royal bloodline, and rebelled to murder the emperor. All nine clans will be executed. The male members of the Bai family will be beheaded, and the female members will be exiled! All servants and those who colluded with the Bai family will be punished according to the circumstances. The lighter ones will be exiled, and the heavier ones will have their property confiscated!"

Ningxu retracted the Yuluo Sword and patted the dust off his hands, "Really? He's so slow to rebel. He has to be forced to rebel by me."

"Meng'er!" Li Ze gave her a bear hug, "It's been a long time since we last met. I'm almost missing you!"

Ningxu's head was held tightly by him, unable to move. "Let... go. I still have to deal with those two in the harem..."

Li Ze didn't let go, "Why not just give it to Mr. He?"

Mr. He nodded in agreement.

Ningxu: "No, I received a lot of complaints about them some time ago, I have to deal with it."

Li Ze: "Okay..."

In the Bai family's carriage that was gradually moving away, Bai Si handed the reins to the guard and hurriedly got into the carriage. "Father!"

The carriage was speeding along, causing the car to shake violently. "What happened? How could the plan fail? Where is King Lin?!"

Bai Si: "Father, please stop talking about it! The palace had just set up the battle array when Prince Lin disappeared, and the group of secret guards launched a sneak attack. The army was in chaos and was completely routed!"

Prime Minister Bai: "Prince Lin escaped? Isn't he afraid that I will kill his princess to silence her?!"

Bai Si tried to persuade him earnestly, "Father! Princess Lin has been rescued a long time ago! It is said that Mo Yong has returned."

"Mo Yong? Isn't he far away at the border?" Prime Minister Bai suddenly realized, "Li Ze dared to play tricks on me! He knew our plan long ago and used our trick against us?!"

Secretly recall Mo Yong, secretly rescue people, and lead him to rebellion...

He must avenge this!

Two hours ago, in a courtyard somewhere in the suburbs.

Bai Xiang rebelled, and Prince Lin was sent to the front line, so the rescue mission of He Xun fell on Mo Yong alone. Due to the tight security, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Mo Yong decided to rescue He Xun secretly, and went alone.

Mo Yong secretly observed for a long time and finally found a corner where the guards were not well guarded and planned to climb over the wall to get in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard and steadied his feet, he was bumped into by a sneaky man who was a head shorter than him.

Mo Yong quickly covered her mouth. When the two looked at each other, Mo Yong realized that the man looked familiar.

The visitor obviously recognized Mo Yong at a glance and patted his hands happily that were covering his own.

Mo Yong made a hushing gesture, and the other party nodded repeatedly, and only then did Mo Yong let go.

"General Mo!" Although the visitor spoke in a low voice, one could hear Mo Yong's excitement in his tone.

"You are..." Mo Yong searched again and again in his mind, and finally, "Are you the daughter of General Yan's family?"

"Yes, yes! What are you here for? Are you here to save Princess Lin as well?"

Mo Yong was a little surprised, "You also..."

Yan Le nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Mo Yong originally wanted to let Yan Le go back first, so as not to disrupt his plan. But then he remembered that King Lin said that Xiao Xun had two maids who knew martial arts, and if there was any disturbance, they would be killed directly. Yan Le happened to be a girl, so if he could let her pretend to be one of them and sneak in, it should be easier, so he took her with him.

Yan Le, the only daughter of General Yan. Mo Yong had heard rumors that Miss Yan was spoiled and willful, but she was very skilled in martial arts, and had the appearance of General Yan on the battlefield.

But Mo Yong really didn't expect that although Yan Le was also alert along the way, she talked too much. She said that when she knew that Prince Lin had surrendered to Prime Minister Bai, she looked down on Prince Lin very much. Although they grew up together, Prince Lin's position was not firm. She would not give up this opportunity to scold him just because they were good friends.

It was not until today that her father, whose ears were already calloused, told her that Prince Lin rebelled because Princess Lin was imprisoned, and that Prime Minister Bai would take action today and would go to the palace to provide support, and told Yan Le not to move around.

How could she agree to that, so she came here herself.

Mo Yong had the map of the villa given by the informant. After hiding from the guards, the two finally arrived at the door where He Xun was imprisoned.

The two of them were lying in the bushes, and Mo Yong pointed the way to Yan Le. "It's almost time for lunch, and someone will come to deliver food. If it's a man, I'll go and knock him out, change his clothes and sneak into the room. If it's a woman, I'll have to trouble Miss Yan."

Yan Le: “No problem!”

Mo Yong: "There are two maids in the room. Their martial arts skills are unknown. I will sneak to the back window. If you can't defeat them alone, call me as soon as possible. Everything depends on Princess Lin's safety."

Yan Le: “Received!”

It was obvious at first glance that General Yan usually kept a close eye on Yan Le. Even though she liked practicing martial arts and the military camp, General Yan did not let her participate in any dangerous actions. It was rare for a general to give her a direct military order, and the excitement in her eyes was about to overflow.

The person who came to deliver the meal was a maid. The two men knocked the maid unconscious. Yan Le hid in the corner to change her coat, while Mo Yong stood guard for her with his back to her.
