The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 111 It's not right to keep Jiang
In the cold guest room with heavy snow and strong wind, Jiang Shiwan hugged Ah You tightly, and after he fell asleep, he carefully placed him on the bed covered with a blanket.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside, which shook the entire post station.

Just as she was about to let go of Ayou's hand and hug him tightly again, she looked outside with fear in her eyes.

"God damn it!" A roar of refusal to obey came from below, "Meng Tingzhou, you bastard, do you think you can reach the northern border safely? Fuck you!"

Meng Tingzhou looked down at the kneeling burly man and said, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

“Hahahaha…” the burly man spat at him, “You bastard, a bastard is unworthy of holding the high position of Left Commander…”

Before he could finish his words, he looked up to the sky and cried out in pain.

Meng Tingzhou's boots stepped heavily on his fingers, causing the bones to crack. He said expressionlessly, "How can I let you interfere?"

The strong man was sweating from the pain: "Kill me if you can."

"Humph." Meng Tingzhou sneered, "Kill you? I'm afraid it will dirty my hands."

He looked at the snowy weather outside and said expressionlessly, "Come here, hang these people outside the post station and let them come in to rest every hour. Don't let them freeze to death all at once."

The strong man and others are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the method of torturing others.

Seeing their unusual expressions, Meng Tingzhou said expressionlessly: "You should know that death is the easiest. This governor has methods that are more powerful than death."

"Meng Tingzhou, you will not die a good death! You will definitely have no descendants!"

The person who dragged him out couldn't help but slap him dozens of times: "Damn it, you are the one who will not die a good death!"

A group of people quickly tied the man up at the entrance of the post station.

After finishing all this, Pei Qing reported to Meng Tingzhou: "Commander-in-chief, from what he said, it seems that there is an ambush ahead."

"He won't let me reach the northern border smoothly. On the contrary, the most difficult journey starts from now on." Meng Tingzhou's gloomy face was calm. "Perhaps only one of us can survive."

He looked at the clothes that had been violated by the burly man just now, frowned in disgust, took off his coat, and went straight up to the second floor.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Jiang Shiwan’s face full of vigilance.

Meng Tingzhou closed the door and walked towards her: "Are you scared?"

Jiang Shiwan's face was extremely pale, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Is someone going to attack you?"

"Yeah." He hugged her gently, kissed her forehead, and looked at the sleeping Ah You quietly, "Don't worry. I asked Lu Zheng and his wife to arrive in the North Territory and settle down in advance. If everything goes well, he should have brought people to pick us up."

Unexpectedly, he had made so many arrangements in advance. Jiang Shiwan asked quietly, "Did you know that the emperor would not tolerate you?"

Meng Tingzhou did not comment: "He is very suspicious and sometimes stubborn."

"The journey ahead will be difficult and even dangerous." He held her tighter, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to arrange it."

"Erlang..."

There was a knock on the door: "Commander..."

Meng Tingzhou let go of his hand and strode out. Seeing Pei Qing's serious expression, he said, "Xu Jing just found out that there is a large group of people coming towards us 20 miles away from us."

Meng Tingzhou asked: "Where are the people?"

"They are all downstairs."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Shiwan quickly chased after him with his cloak and put it on him: "Don't catch a cold."

Meng Tingzhou let her tie the belt and went down quickly.

Dozens of generals had gathered downstairs. When they saw Meng Tingzhou, they all stood up and said, "Commander-in-chief."

Meng Tingzhou ordered someone to bring a map: "Can you find out who the people who are coming are?"

"The people from the Ministry of War seem to be led by Lu Chong himself." As the Minister of War, Lu Chong personally led people to kill. I'm afraid that this time the emperor has issued a death order.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Meng Tingzhou said solemnly, "Lu Chong came here for two reasons. The first is to punish him for treason, and the second is to kill him without mercy."

Everyone looked at each other.

Li Xiang slammed the table with a loud bang: "Damn it, this is too much! I'm going to fight them!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, while we were on the battlefield killing the enemy, who knows where these people from the Ministry of War were drinking and having fun!"

"We have seen all kinds of situations. Are we afraid of Lu Chong?"

"..."

Everyone was getting more and more excited, except for one person who remained silent.

Meng Tingzhou noticed him: "Yu Bu, what do you think?"

Yu Bu has always been a man of few words in the army, but he is the most ruthless in fighting.

Seeing Meng Tingzhou asking him a question, he lowered his head and said, "The governor has something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"You said."

Yu Bu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have always felt that it is inappropriate to keep Jiang."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Yu Bu's face flushed. "Not to mention that Jiang's father, Jiang Xingyuan, was originally the Minister of War. Previously, we almost lost Tongguan because the Ministry of War delayed sending troops."

"Now the people from the Ministry of War are chasing us personally. Apart from the emperor's will, there is no guarantee that Jiang family will not be involved."

Meng Tingzhou secretly clenched his fists: "In the case of the Ministry of War, Jiang Xingyuan was framed."

"The governor has 100,000 soldiers under his command, and every one of them is fighting bravely. Should the governor explain this to every one of them?"

Yu Bu knelt down on both knees and said, "Commander-in-chief, the road ahead will surely be difficult and dangerous. I dare to ask you to put the overall situation first."

Someone took the lead, and the others followed suit.

"Commander-in-chief, Yu Bu's words are for the sake of the overall situation. Please think twice."

"If you take over the throne in the future, it may not be a bad idea for the governor to bring Jiang back."

Meng Tingzhou looked at the generals kneeling in front of him and pursed his lips.

After a while, he said, "Jiang is the mother of the young prince. She has always been obedient since she followed me. But I understand your good intentions. Please think about this matter carefully."

"If a woman who behaves peacefully kills others, I will be a treacherous person if I conquer the world in the future. But if she develops thoughts that she shouldn't have, let alone you, I will be the first one to not forgive her!"

After that, Meng Tingzhou ordered loudly: "Li Xiang, you will lead a team of people to explore the way until you meet up with Lu Zheng. Ask him to come quickly."

"Pei Qing, you will guard the post station. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy."

"Captain, what about you?"

Meng Tingzhou's eyes flashed with coldness: "Since Lu Chong brought people from the Ministry of War with him, he must have a lot of manpower. This governor decided to meet him in person."

"Commander-in-chief!" All the soldiers knelt down, "We are willing to fight in your place."

Meng Tingzhou's eyes were full of determination: "Lu Chong came here for me, so I have to go there myself. I can also take this opportunity to find out whether this matter has anything to do with the Jiang family."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Yu Bu kowtowed heavily and said, "I was reckless. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins."
