After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 385 The culprit
Mu Yanzhen kept touching her belly and looked at the two people in front of her coldly.

Seeing Mu Yanzhen so calm, the king looked at Mu Zhaling helplessly.

Mu Zhaling said softly to Mu Yanzhen.

"Zhenzhen, please don't make things difficult for the king!"

The king was sweating profusely and had to pretend to be calm and continue to put pressure on Mu Yanzhen.

"Mu Yanzhen, you have to tell me today whether you will take the military pay or not!"

His voice was trembling, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was weak inside.

Mu Yanzhen stood up and shook his sleeves.

"The king has no money to fight the war, so he wants to put the blame on a weak woman like me?"

"Military pay is something that the ruler of a country and the generals have to worry about. You can't just say that I have money and I have to pay for it!"

Mu Yanzhen had an indifferent expression, and a cold aura emanated from him from the inside out.

The king only felt that the cold wind blowing towards him made his body unstable.

Before he could calm down, Mu Yanzhen continued.

"Lord, this is just like the rich peasants and the poor peasants. The poor peasants have nothing but four walls and still have to compete with others for land."

"To fight for the land, we have to spend money to buy manpower. What should we do if we don't have enough money?"

"He blamed the rich peasants for not helping him."

"Hahahahaha!"

Mu Yanzhen laughed exaggeratedly, "If you want to fight for territory, why don't you make money yourself?"

"It won't be too late to fight for it when you are equally strong!"

"Zhenzhen! Don't be rude!"

Mu Zhaling interrupted her impatiently, "You also know that this war was first provoked by the Great Zhou!"

Mu Yanzhen was dismissive, "So what if they were the ones who started the incident?"

"Isn't it because you beat them to the point where they can no longer bear it, and you can't let them resist?"

Mu Yanzhen's retort left the two men in front of her speechless. She felt that it was meaningless to stay here any longer and prepared to leave.

"My Lord, I am ill, so I will take my leave now!"

"Oh, good."

The king was halfway through his words when he remembered that his goal had not yet been achieved.

"This"

He looked at Muzhaling in panic and begged in a low voice, "Ah Ling, what do you say we should do?"

On the other side, Mu Yanzhen had already turned around and walked out the door.

"Come here, Da'ao is feeling unwell and will stay in the palace to rest today."

In an instant, a large number of people poured into the palace. They were soldiers ready to go.

Mu Yanzhen protected her belly tightly with her hands, "A Ling, what do you want to do?"

In an instant, the soldiers surrounded Mu Yanzhen.

Muzaling walked towards them slowly, his eyes affectionate and full of tenderness.

"Zhenzhen, you are tired today, take a rest in the palace first."

"When this is over, I will personally take you back to the Ooku Palace."

Mu Yanzhen went from being incredulous at first to looking numb now.

"Muzaling, I'm carrying your child in my belly, what on earth do you want to do?"

Muzaling took off his disguise and looked indifferent.

"Of course it's military pay!"

"What if I don't give it?"

Mu Yanzhen's voice was emotionless. "If I don't give it to you, will you imprison me in this palace?"

"So what if you imprison me?"

"Without my order, you can't withdraw the money!"

"Then I will take you to get the money. I don't believe they can just watch you die without helping you!"

Mu Yanzhen was shocked, "What are you going to do?"

"doing what?"

Mu Zhaling grabbed Mu Yanzhen's wrist and dragged her out regardless of her struggle.

"Pass the order down, Da'ao, go back to the general's mansion to rest."

Mu Yanzhen's eyes were red with anger, but she couldn't break free.

The guards outside the palace gate watched helplessly as Mu Yanzhen was taken away by Mu Zhaling.

Mu Zhaling gave them a glare, and Mu Yanzhen's guards drew their swords one after another.

The two sides were on the verge of a conflict.

Muzaling didn't mind taking action in the palace, it was just a waste of time.

Having been delayed in the palace for so long, he now has no idea of ​​the situation at the front line.

"Stop it all!"

Mu Zhaling said loudly, "This general has no intention of harming the Great Ao, but I have to do this because I have something to ask for."

"You're resorting to such a desperate measure? You clearly don't care about the life and death of me and my child in order to achieve your goal!"

Mu Yanzhen retorted harshly, and her guards became agitated again.

"General, please release Da Ao, and we can discuss something!"

The leader of the guards saw that Mu Yanzhen looked pale and was afraid that something was wrong with her health.

Mu Zhaling exerted force with his hands, and Mu Yanzhen screamed immediately.

"discuss?"

Mu Zhaling glanced at Mu Yanzhen, who was in great pain, and continued.

"If they really had discussed it, how could it have come to this?"

"white collar guy from a working-class background!"

Mu Yanzhen endured the severe pain from her wrist and said through gritted teeth.

"what?"

Muzaling didn't know what this sentence meant, so he asked subconsciously.

"It's normal that you don't know what it means."

Mu Yanzhen continued, "You Phoenix man, wanting to wipe out the whole family, will end up with nothing in the end!"

Although Muzaling did not understand the meaning of Phoenix Man, he understood the three words "eating the whole family".

Seeing Muzaling getting angry, Mu Yan really felt very happy.

"I said, if you are nice to me, then you will pretend for the rest of your life."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"You can't pretend anymore before I give birth to the baby!"

"Not only that, you even wanted to harm the baby in my belly, leaving us with two dead!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Zhaling was a little shocked. He thought he had done nothing wrong, so how could Mu Yanzhen notice it?

"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything unless you do it yourself!"

Mu Yanzhen was still struggling, "Tell me, how did my mother die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion among the guards.

Most of them were Ayana's old subordinates and were loyal to her.

"Da'ao, is there something strange about the death of the former Da'ao?"

Seeing that the situation could not be controlled any longer, Muzaling did not want to delay any longer.

In the palace, he could keep the news secret.

If the news gets out of the palace, the situation will be out of control.

These merchants can be suppressed by force for the time being, but if they were allowed to know the truth about A-Yan's death, there is no guarantee that they would not rebel.

"My mother was murdered, and the murderer has not been caught yet!"

Mu Zhaling's attitude softened, which Mu Yanzhen saw as a sign of humility.

"You're talking nonsense, it was obviously you who did it!"

After he finished speaking, Mu Yanzhen was slapped in the face.

She also took the opportunity to break free from Muzaling's shackles.

"You hit me? My mother never hit me, how dare you hit me!"

Mu Yanzhen touched his face, and the hatred bursting from his eyes could devour Mu Zhaling.

"You are such a jerk, Muzhaling! You killed my mother and my brother. What hatred do you have against my family?"

"Or maybe you were eyeing my mother's money from the beginning?"

"You'll do anything to achieve your goal!"

Mu Yanzhen nodded to the guards, "Did you all hear that? Mu Zhaling is the culprit who killed my mother!"
