Work overtime

Jiang Yuebai walked to the Auspicious Land Pond, pointed to the goldfish swimming in groups in the pond, and asked, "Have you seen these fish?"

Mao Yuliang replied calmly, looking at Jiang Yuebai secretly: "Ms., I saw it."

At this time, the setting sun had set a little lower, and the sky was filled with red clouds, which dyed Jiang Yuebai's white clothes with a light orange-red color, which was much softer than the solemn feeling just now.

Jiang Yuebai turned on the special effects of "Shen Yu"'s appearance.

He raised his head slightly to look at the sky, frowned slightly, and said slowly in a calm tone:

"These goldfish are just goldfish in other places, a dish on the plate. In Cining Palace, they are royal fish, for people to watch, and the ponds they swim in are made of rare colored glaze. Originally, a few fish were just ordinary, but now they are Suddenly, groups of people gathered together, and it became an auspicious scene in the Buddhist kingdom on earth, for everyone to pay homage to."

"I think there is no difference between humans and fish. It all depends on which pond you are in and who you hang out with. What does Commander Mao think?"

Mao Yuliang looked at the pond. How could a smart man like him not understand the implication of Jiang Yuebai's words? When he was about to answer, he found that the groups of fish swimming happily suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, as if waiting for him quietly. answer.

He stared blankly at the fish in the water, then suddenly turned back to look at Jiang Yuebai.But he saw that the empress was looking at the red clouds on the horizon in a trance, not noticing anything unusual in the pond.

Could this be the legendary "Sinking Fish and Falling Wild Goose"?
Mao Yuliang always thought that these were exaggerated expressions used by ancient people to describe beauty. When he saw them today, he was completely shocked.

He looked at the pond again. Not only did the fish at his feet stop quietly on the bottom of the water, but the fish in the distance also slowly stopped.One by one, they were suspended quietly in the water.

He squatted down and stirred the water in the pool in disbelief.The fish were frightened and swam wildly, scattering in all directions.

It looks like these fish are alive.

But after a while, the fish swam back to them and stopped quietly in the nearby water.

Jiang Yuebai showed extraordinary patience with Mao Yuliang.

She wanted to use today to conquer Chen Xiang's former right-hand man in one fell swoop and break down Chen Xiang's fortress from the inside.And based on her judgment, Mao Yuliang was a bloody general, fundamentally different from Prime Minister Chen. Mao was confused by Prime Minister Chen's civil servant methods.

Jiang Yuebai lowered his head and looked at Mao Yuliang, who was squatting by the water and lost in thought, "Have you thought about it, Master Mao?"

Mao Yuliang suddenly turned around, raised his head, and asked confusedly, "Are you a human?"

Jiang Yuebai put on airs and asked in a pretentious manner, "Why does Mr. Mao ask that?"

Mao Yuliang didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, so he asked instead, "The Empress said just now that the Emperor has something to ask the general. Dare I ask, is it the Emperor who asked this, or the Empress?"

"You and I know very well, do you have a choice, Master Mao?" Jiang Yuebai looked at Mao Yuliang with a smile, playing with the Yuquan Sword in his hand.

"You have committed such a heinous crime. Don't you think that the emperor has no knowledge of it? While you were in the palace, the emperor had sent people to your and Master Sun's homes and found some interesting things. But if you can bring these Write down everything that Prime Minister You has done in the past few years and give it to the Emperor. It shows your sincerity in changing your mind and starting a new life. Mr. Mao is a smart man, so I don’t think I need to say anything more."

Jiang Yuebai squatted down, seemingly not caring that Mao Yuliang would suddenly kill her, and casually stroked the water with his sword, causing ripples in circles.

She waved her sword in the water again, quickly turning her wrists in various ways, seemingly stirring up the fish, but Mao Yuliang felt that she seemed to be feeling something.

These circles of ripples touched Mao Yuliang's heart.

He didn't know why he found Jiang Yuebai's sight of paddling the water with his sword particularly tempting.

"Master Mao, look at the goldfish in the water, tell the emperor, tell me, have you thought about it? Should you be a small fish eaten by big fish in the rivers, lakes and seas, or should you be an auspicious person in the palace? Should you be a ghost, or should you be a ghost? Want to be a human being?”

Jiang Yuebai had a smile on his face, his words were gentle, and his attitude was gentle and polite. But when his eyes fell on Mao Yuliang's neck, he immediately felt a chill.

Mao Yuliang had no doubt that if he attacked Jiang Yuebai secretly, the opponent would immediately counterattack and cut off his neck with a sword.

He had seen the head she was holding in her hand, the look of fear and anger on her face.

Mao Yuliang carefully knelt down in front of Jiang Yuebai: "The guilty minister has thought about it. The guilty minister understands that he has committed a heinous crime and has no life in the world. I thank the emperor for being kind and sparing the guilty minister his life. The guilty minister will follow the emperor's instructions. The order is to write down everything that Prime Minister You has done in these years."

Jiang Yuebai stood up slowly with his sword in hand.

"Then I believe you again. Remember to write it clearly and in detail. Don't be cunning. Sun Shangshu will also write one. Your confessions won't match up later, haha. In addition, tell you what you know about Chen Ang. Write down his property and family business, whether he has a wife or not. Do you know that he has a farm or business in the suburbs?" Mao Yuliang was sweating profusely at this time. He wiped the sweat and tried to calm down. "The guilty minister You will know everything and tell everything you want to know.”

"Very good." Jiang Yuebai stared at the sword and blew on the water marks on it, "By the way, I want to tell you. You and Sun Shangshu were tricked by Chen Xiang. The former prince's posthumous son and his mother are both dead. Yes, you tied the lives of the nine tribes on your belt for him, but he kept it secret from you and tricked you into leading troops with him to rebel in the palace today. You must have never seen what the emperor's grandson looks like."

Mao Yuliang was startled. He recalled the whole story of today and found that what Jiang Yuebai said was true.

The prime minister has always made a big deal, that is, after supporting the young emperor's grandson to ascend the throne, they will be the great contributors to Conglong's meritorious service, and since the emperor's grandson is young, they can do whatever they want.

But they have never seen the emperor's grandson, let alone the life and death of the emperor's grandson, mother and son.

Jiang Yuebai sighed: "General, it's not worth sacrificing your life and that of the nine tribes for such a selfish, vicious and cold person, isn't it?"

This passage completely penetrated Mao Yuliang's psychological defense.

Damn it!Playing with labor from beginning to end!
Mao Yuliang was almost overwhelmed by grief and anger at this moment, with various emotions surging in his heart. However, when he suddenly raised his head and met Jiang Yuebai's gentle and bright eyes, he suddenly woke up.

He recalled that Jiang Yuebai furiously offered a reward to a loyal cook today. His heart was instantly struck by something, and he couldn't wait to say:

"Your Majesty, I will swear to the death to serve your Majesty and listen to your Majesty's orders without any second thoughts."

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "No, you are wrong. You are terribly wrong. You are the general of the Ming Dynasty, you are the commander of the Jinwu Guards, a third-grade officer. What you want to be loyal to is the current emperor and the stability of this country. A prosperous future is about people living and working in peace and contentment. It is not about being loyal to anyone’s selfishness.”

These powerful words made Mao Yuliang feel ashamed and at the same time, his soul was touched.

The other party's rational and calm smile was like a ray of clear spring.

This woman!Damn it!
interesting.

"Since you choose to be a human being, you must be an upright and bloody man. Soldiers can only die on the battlefield where they protect their families and their country and open up new territories."

After saying that, Jiang Yuebai took advantage of him not paying attention and chopped off a section of his beard on his chin, held it in his hand, and threw it into the pond: "The old you is dead, this is your place of rebirth. "

Mao Yuliang turned his head to look at the beard floating on the water in the lake, touched his chin, and was in extreme shock.

This woman!Damn it!
Something is wrong.

"Let's go. Take me to see the Queen Mother." Jiang Yuebai rubbed his thumb, and a few more beards fell off, "The beard is quite strong, he is a man."

Mao Yuliang suddenly grinned. Jiang Yuebai's simple gesture touched him and touched his heartstrings.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

A strong general is actually the same.

Mao Yu's conscience suddenly became very relaxed and fulfilling.

Although it is undeniable that Jiang Yuebai's words made charming thoughts flash through his mind just for a moment.

But it instantly turned into a longer and heavier emotion.He couldn't tell what this was.

If I had to say it, it might feel like my soul now has a lighthouse or a harbor.

This woman!Damn it!
Have……

There was something he couldn't describe.

Mao Yuliang followed Jiang Yuebai, still five or six steps behind, with steady steps.

He suddenly understood why the fat man would step forward to block Jiang Yuebai's arrow without hesitation and die with a smile.

Because, starting from this moment, he is also willing.
