The 20,000-strong army was marching forward in a mighty force, with You Long and You Jiao, as the main commanders, riding their horses in the front without hesitation.

The man opposite them was none other than You Jiao's former husband and You Long's former son-in-law, the mighty general Shen Wan.

"You Jiao, You Long, do you know what you are doing?"

Finally, Shen Wan came back to his senses from his astonishment and asked harshly without even thinking.

Because no matter why these two men brought their troops here, this matter would affect him, who had a close relationship with them.

And he also had reason to believe that the father and daughter were deliberately working against him and were avenging him for what he had done to them.

However, the You Jiao who would restrain herself and consider his face when facing his scolding was no longer there the moment he gave up on Shen Ge, her own son.

"You are such a heartless and unworthy Shen Wan. In order to win the honor of going to the capital, you want to label the poor people as rebels. This is really shameful to this general!"

You Jiao snorted coldly, and immediately raised the whip in her hand and said:
"My father and I came here today for no other reason than to tear off your hypocritical and ugly skin!"

As soon as You Jiao said this, there was a sudden commotion in the rebellion suppression army and the Qingquan City Tower. The former couldn't help but look up at Shen Wan, while the latter kept looking at You Jiao with gratitude.

That’s right, Song Yichun and others never thought that at this critical moment, there would be officials from the court willing to speak for them.

The affection was so deep that everyone on the city wall was jealous.

Unlike the gratitude that You Jiao and the others received, Shen Wan received more criticism.

After all, the Shen family's affairs were no secret outside...

So Shen Wan's expression quickly turned cold, and he pointed at You Jiao with his whip in a bad tone and said:
"You evil woman, stop spreading lies in front of others. As a mighty general, I haven't punished you and You Long for deserting your post, and you dare to slander me!"

After saying this, he did not wait for You Jiao to refute, and turned his head to Feng Jing on the horse and said:
"Your Highness, these two people left their posts to protect the rebels. They are obviously the rebels' accomplices. I hope Your Highness can deal with them impartially and clear my name!"

Feng Jing raised his eyelids and then he remembered who You Jiao was sitting opposite him.

That’s right, he almost forgot about his own sister, his ex-mother-in-law.

He really didn't expect that the other party would come out and make trouble at this time and try to ruin his good deeds.

And if he remembered correctly, the other party had been close to Feng Xi in Shengjing a long time ago. Now that the Shen family has suppressed them many times, it seems that they can only rely on Feng Xi if they want to turn things around.

Relying on Feng Xi?

It's ridiculous.

"If the two generals have any personal grudges against General Shen, they can seek to resolve it privately with him after this incident. Now that my father has sent me here to quell the rebellion, you two not only deserted your post but also tried to stop us. Is it true that, as General Shen said, you also want to rebel?"

Although Feng Jing said this with a smile, the accusation he made was quite serious.

Now he has already made a note of You Jiao and the other two in his heart. The reason why he didn't send someone to call them directly was that he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

After this matter is settled, it will only take a word for him to deal with them.

So he immediately softened his expression and said in a slightly softer tone:

"As long as you two turn back from your mistakes, I may make an exception and forgive you, but you must seize this opportunity, otherwise..."

Feng Jing didn't say anything else, but You Long and You Jiao knew exactly what he meant.

But since they dared to lead their troops here, they had already made preparations in their hearts.

So he immediately bowed to Feng Jing and said:
"Forgive my father and I for being so presumptuous. We both believe that there are only civilians in Qingquan City and no rebels. We hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be kind and stop the troops at this moment!"

"Be bold!"

Feng Jing's face darkened instantly when he heard this. He had already given them a chance to escape punishment, but they still wanted to confront him in public. How could he not be angry at such behavior?

While Feng Jing was angry at You Jiao and the other for refusing to accept their toast, You Jiao had already turned her head to look at Mu Qingze who was beside Feng Jing.

"As everyone knows, the army came to Qi Bohou Mansion to suppress the rebellion with the duty of supervision. As the son of Qi Bohou, do you also think that the Qingquan County is full of rebels? Prince Mu, do you really think so?"

If You Jiao's first question was directed at everyone in Qi Bohou's mansion, then the second question was directed at Mu Qingze himself.

Even Mu Qingze, who was always calm, couldn't help but frown at this.

He didn't want to give others something to talk about, so he spoke very little on the way to quell the riot.

After all, as long as he doesn't say some things directly, he won't be questioned.

However, You Jiao's question undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront, forcing him to answer.

"General You is wrong. Qingze is only responsible for supervision. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shen both believe that Qingquan is a den of bandits and have produced solid evidence, Qingze has no reason not to believe it."

Mu Qingze's words seemed to be following the footsteps of Feng Jing and the others, but in fact, they also seemed to be an attempt to shirk responsibility.

But it has to be said that Feng Jing just loves to hear Mu Qingze's words that follow his lead.

Because only if these famous people submit to him can he satisfy his desire to become the emperor.

"I see."

You Jiao nodded and finally smiled:
"I never thought that the great prince of Qi Bo, a noble gentleman in the eyes of scholars all over the world, would be so hypocritical and seek fame."

"What nonsense!"

Jia Li, who was beside Mu Qingze, became anxious upon hearing this.

Not only Jia Li, Feng Jing, who wanted to win over Mu Qingze, also immediately scolded You Jiao:

"Female thief, please stop using your evil words to hurt my great Zhao ministers. Since you and your daughter are stubborn and refuse to change, don't blame me for arresting you for treason! Shen Wan!"

"exist!"

Shen Wan, who was standing aside, had already been rubbing his hands in preparation, and was ready to charge forward the moment he heard the words.

In his opinion, even if You Jiao and his daughter brought 20,000 elite soldiers, they would be no match for the 100,000 troops behind him.

When he captures the two of them, he will tear that bitch's mouth apart with his own hands, so that she will never have the chance to speak in front of anyone again.

Seeing that the 100,000 troops below were about to take action, Song Yichun and others on the city wall could not help but look anxiously at You Jiao and her daughter.

It's not that they look down on these two men and the 20,000 elite soldiers, but there is a clear gap between 20,000 people and an army of 100,000, and the chance of winning is almost zero.

"Come on, open the city gate quickly and let our people go out to help these two generals!"

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, just as the soldier who received the order was running down in a hurry, fearing that he ran too slowly and the battle situation below would quickly collapse, a female voice came down in a bland voice.

"Feng Jing, right? Shen Wan, right? Mu Qing, right? I'm telling you, stop yelling at me down there!"

Feng Jing, Shen Wan, and Mu Qingze: "?"

Song Yichun and Wen Xing: “?”

No, who are you, beautiful lady? (End of this chapter)
