Mu Yunyu looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds rolling, but it didn't look like it was going to rain.
Finally, he closed his eyes tightly, thinking about his unfair life. So what if he was born into a noble family? He still became a stepping stone for the prince.
If he didn't take action to grab everything, the final outcome would be that he would be trampled under the feet of the prince. The royal struggle has never been peaceful.
Tonight, either the prince dies or he dies.
Success or failure depends on this one move. Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu made up his mind, took the torch from the servant, and was about to light the fireworks.
Unexpectedly, the fuse of the fireworks burned out, but no fireworks were seen blooming in the sky.
Yu Er hurried forward to check and suddenly discovered that the huge firecrackers were wet inside.
"Your Majesty, this gunpowder has been soaked in water!"
Mu Yunyu was suddenly panicked, then became furious. He drew out Yu Er's sword and was about to chop off his head.
"How could such a big mistake happen in such an important matter? Didn't I ask you to make sure everything is foolproof?!"
As he spoke, veins bulged on Mu Yunyu's hands, and he was about to kill Yu Er.
Suddenly, applause came from behind.
"Fifth brother, it's Dragon Boat Festival, why are you so angry when I asked you to set off fireworks? Calm down, calm down."
Mu Yunyu turned his head suddenly, thinking to himself that something was wrong. In a flash, he took out a flare from his arms and released it into the sky.
"Quick, stop him!"
Mu Yunxu was horrified. Why did he do this? Didn’t Yu Yi say that fireworks were a signal?
It’s over. He failed to complete the task assigned by his royal brother.
Fortunately, Mu Yunchen had made some plans in advance.
As soon as the signal flare was sounded, Lu Xiaoyu led the military cavalry to open the city gates on the east and west sides, but he did not see Shen Qianren's army marching straight in. Instead, it was pitch black with only a few bugs chirping on the trees.
Lu Xiaoyu was very confused. Could it be that Shen Qianren did not receive Mu Yunyu's letter?
It’s that damn Shen Qianren who’s playing tricks on me.
Just as Lu Xiaoyu turned around to settle the score with Mu Yunyu, he ran into Pei Xuan head-on.
"Director Lu, why are you bringing so many people to the city gate instead of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival at home?"
Pei Xuan asked even though he knew the answer. After following Mu Yunchen for a long time, the most important thing he learned was sarcasm.
Lu Xiaoyu replied calmly, "Of course, during festivals, I will bring people to strengthen patrols in the capital."
There was no atmosphere of tension between the two groups, but unexpectedly, they would start fighting in the next second.
The capital was suddenly filled with smoke.
And thirty miles outside the city, there was even more war.
Shen Qianren led his army to attack the imperial city, but unexpectedly, he encountered an ambush thirty miles away from the capital.
Bi Twenty-Seven is indeed the best in Qinggong, no one can compare to him, and the news spread quickly.
Mu Ci had brought his men here early to wait, waiting for Shen Qianren's army to approach and catch them off guard.
It was just a pity for the son-in-law Han Jiuxi. At this moment, the two teams stationed on the border had returned to the capital, and he was left alone to guard the three cities.
Fortunately, the leader of the Lige tribe also sent people to reinforce, so Han Jiuxi was not overwhelmed.
Outside the city, the capital was filled with smoke, and there was also chaos in the imperial palace.
Mu Yunyu's men started fighting with Mu Yunxu's men. What was unexpected was that Mu Yunyu actually raised private soldiers. Mu Yunxu was caught off guard and was not paying attention, allowing Mu Yunyu to escape.
At this moment, people in the palace were in panic, and Mu Yunchen brought people to protect the emperor and his entourage.
Bai Yu and Mu Yunxu split into two groups and searched around the palace for Mu Yunyu.
Mu Yunyu hid in the cold palace waiting for good news from outside.
As long as Lu Xiaoyu opens the city gate and Shen Qianren successfully leads his army to charge in, he can become emperor as soon as daybreak.
It’s a pity that Mu Yunyu waited and waited, but still didn’t hear any news from the palace. It just seemed that there were souls of people who died unjustly in this cold palace.
Overnight, Mu Yunyu almost scared himself to death.
He accidentally stepped on a rat in the gutter and almost thought he saw the dead Mu Peiyao coming to take his life.
Tonight, how many people are awake all night.
Ministry of Punishment.
Lu Xiaoyu's hands were hung up, and Pei Xuan was looking at him sternly.
"Lu Xiaoyu, you passed the imperial examination and were appointed as the chief of the Military Horse Department by the emperor. You should be loyal to the emperor and work for the people."
"I never thought you would be so treasonous and plot rebellion. This is simply unforgivable."
"Come here, be punished!"
As soon as Pei Xuan finished speaking, someone picked up the whip soaked in salt water and whipped Lu Xiaoyu hard.
Lu Xiaoyu had no idea how much torture he had endured. His body could no longer bear it and he could only whimper.
Originally, the military cavalry was enough to fight against the people brought by Pei Xuan.
But what Lu Xiaoyu did not expect was that before Pei Xuan took office as the Minister of Justice, he was the former master of the Military Horse Department.
Just as the fight was about to begin, the people from the Military Horse Division ignored the token in Lu Xiaoyu's hand and defected to Pei Xuan.
This caused Lu Xiaoyu to regret for the rest of his life.
In fact, he made more than one misstep. Everything was doomed when he had evil intentions in the beginning.
When Mu Ci tied up Shen Qianren and handed him over to the Ministry of Justice, Mu Yunchen arrived there at the same time.
Who knew that Lu Xiaoyu actually hated Mu Yunchen so much. When Pei Xuan and Mu Ci were paying their respects to Mu Yunchen, Lu Xiaoyu broke free from his restraints and pounced on Mu Yunchen like a hungry tiger or wolf.
"Prince Damu, go to hell!"
At the critical moment, Mu Ci made quick decision, drew his sword, and slashed at Lu Xiaoyu, making him lie on the ground on the spot. The scar on his face was extremely conspicuous, and he was bleeding from his mouth, with a hideous look on his face.
Mu Ci had been stationed at the border for many years and was decisive in killing. He shook off the blood on his sword and put it away as if nothing had happened.
When he met Mu Yunchen's gaze, he thought to himself: Is this his prince's brother-in-law?
Mu Yunchen met Mu Ci's gaze and couldn't help but sigh: This is Yun'er's brother, his legendary brother-in-law?
After a long time, Pei Xuan couldn't help but reach out and touch Mu Ci, and Mu Ci withdrew his gaze.
"I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No gift."
Now was not the time to reminisce, and no one said much. Just at this moment, the jailer suddenly shouted.
"It's a fake corpse!!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, only to find that it was not Lu Xiaoyu who had pretended to be dead.
Instead, he had just been slashed by Mu Ci's sword, and the human skin mask on his face was scratched, and the jailer uncovered it, revealing his true face.
Mu Ci stepped forward and kicked the human skin mask aside, muttering, "What the hell is this?"
When Mu Yunchen saw it, surprise was visibly revealed on his face.
Previously, he only thought that Lu Xiaoyu was obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he walked in a zigzag manner, which was very strange.
But no one expected that this person was Juqu, Ali Zhuomu, who helped Li Ge escape death.
Juqu from Li Ge escaped death and came to Damu pretending to be a student taking the imperial examination. He was also entrusted with an important task and conspired with the prince of Damu to rebellion. The interests involved are terrifying when you think about it carefully.
