Chapter 311 Putting the Blame on Others

Gu Huan's anger subsided a little after hearing this.

Mu Junyan felt sorry for her, so he came over and hugged her shoulders, saying softly, "Sit down first, and listen to Prince Duan tell you what he found out while you eat, okay?"

Gu Huan saw Zhao Luoxuan's anxious face with tears on it, and she suppressed her anxiety and anger and sat down obediently.

But the food in my mouth had no taste.

Duan Yu sat aside and said slowly, "The city guards have confirmed that no unknown person has entered the capital since yesterday. They have checked everyone who entered the capital during this period, and have not found anyone so far. Our scouts are also investigating the periphery, and we have received news that a group of people did enter Dali and then headed to another country."

Gu Huan put down her chopsticks and was about to ask when she saw Chi Yan appear at the door.

Mu Junyan knew that he had received the news and waved his hand: "Come in and talk."

Chi Yan came in, saluted and said bluntly: "We have already found out that the group of people went to Qi State. Our people have followed them. But we didn't catch them. We want to find out who is behind it."

The elite cavalry they sent to chase the bandits did not reach Dali, so Mu Junyan guessed something and was not surprised at all when he heard that they turned to Qi State.

"Qi State?"

Gu Huan frowned and looked at Mu Junyan.

He nodded: "Recently, Wang Heng has been active near Qi State."

Gu Huan clenched her fist and hammered hard: "Wang Heng? If this is his plan, I will cut him into pieces!"

Duan Yu couldn't help but admire: "Since you found out that you went to Qi State, I have a great gift for you two."

He gestured to the eunuch.

The eunuch shouted outside, "Bring him in."

A woman with disheveled hair was thrown in, and she crawled towards Duan Yu crying.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Zhao Luoxuan saw her face clearly and cried out in surprise, "Qi Shufei!"

Concubine Qi looked as if she had been tortured. She was crying like a tearful person, and when she saw that Duan Yu ignored her, she crawled towards Zhao Luoxuan again.

"Princess, please save me. I really didn't hurt anyone. I really didn't."

Seeing that she was about to grab the hem of Zhao Luoxuan's skirt, Duan Yu stepped forward and kicked her in the chest.

The thin man was kicked away in an instant.

The woman rolled over twice after being kicked, spitting blood from her mouth, and then she started crying.

Duan Yu said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'll drag you out and beat you to death! Then I'll throw your body back to Qi State and see how your father will explain to me!"

Concubine Qi covered her chest, terrified, and cried, "I, I only told my father that the princess gave a big gift to a woman named Zhou in Juzhou for her wedding. I really don't know anything."

Gu Huan's heart tightened and her body swayed.

Mu Junyan held her in place.

Gu Huan was furious: "So, it was you who told your father the wedding date, and it was your father who sent people to kidnap and torture people?"

Concubine Qi shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I just told you the time, I don't know anything else."

"have no idea?"

Duan Yu came over, smiled and stepped on her wrist, only to hear a snapping sound.

Concubine Qi screamed in pain.

"Who sent Dali's clothes to Qi's people? They were made of fabrics specially made for the royal palace. You deliberately provoked disputes between the two countries and put the blame on us! You bitch!"

Concubine Qi's face turned pale. She didn't care about the pain in her hand. She stared with angry eyes and screamed.

"Yes, I hate Daliang! I hate the Mu family army! It is them who made our Qi country live in darkness, and it is them who made the king biased! It is them who made the king abandon the alliance between our countries and become a dog of Daliang!"

Duan Yu kicked her hard on the chin.

Concubine Qi's jaw was kicked off, and her face was twisted in pain, but she couldn't speak.

"Drag him out and beat him to death. Let all the concubines come to watch the execution!"

“Wait!”

Gu Huan stepped forward to stop him: "Lord Duan, let us deal with this person. She needs to apologize to Sister Zhilan!"

Duan Yu frowned: "She is my concubine, it is not appropriate."

Gu Huan said firmly: "Even if it's not suitable, I will take it away!"

Duan Yu looked at her deeply, pondered for a moment, and took a step back: "Okay. But you need to be punished in the palace as a warning to others, and then I will depose you from the position of concubine before I can give it to you."

"good."

Gu Huan and Zhao Luoxuan stood in the courtyard, and all the concubines were summoned.

Duan Yu ordered coldly: "Pull out her talkative tongue."

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned.

Gu Huan was frightened and quickly looked at Mu Junyan.

Is Duan Yu afraid that she will say something she shouldn't?

Concubine Qi struggled miserably, but she was no match for the burly guards.

When she was thrown to the ground with blood all over her mouth, dying, all the concubines turned pale with fear. They dared not to look but were forced to look.

Duan Yu glanced at her coldly and said, "If anyone has done the same thing and informed your mother's family, confess the truth immediately. If you are found out later, I will make you suffer even more than she did!"

Suddenly, the legs of two concubines went weak and they fell to their knees, crying and begging for mercy.

Duan Yu signaled the guards to drag the man away for interrogation.

Zhao Luoxuan almost vomited.

Duan Yu immediately put on a gentle expression, stepped forward and gently stroked her back: "Look at you, if you can't stand it, don't look at it, go back and rest."

When Gu Huan saw Duan Yu's sudden change in expression, she felt a chill down her spine.

He looked at Zhao Luoxuan affectionately as she was supported into the house. He turned to Gu Huan and said apologetically, "It was my people who harmed Miss Zhou. I am sending Miss Zhou a big gift as an apology."

Gu Huan flatly refused: "No need. Just give us the people."

Duan Yu frowned, "What are you going to do? Are you going to attack Qi with just a hundred people? Qi is small, but the old king has a very high reputation and holds a high status among other small countries and tribes. You are just throwing an egg against a rock."

Mu Junyan sneered: "King Duan doesn't need to worry about this, as long as King Duan doesn't move his troops. If you help Zhou to commit atrocities, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He hugged Gu Huan and said, "Let's go."

Looking at their turning backs, Duan Yu's face darkened.

He returned to the Qinzheng Hall, and a dark green figure appeared.

"Lord Duan, Mu Junyan will not take you seriously. Now is a great opportunity. What are you still hesitating about?"

The person who spoke was Wang Heng.

Duan Yu looked at him coldly and sneered, "You are such a great country, but you only know how to bully women to gain power. Your queen is really vicious."

Wang Heng smiled indifferently: "Prince Duan is talking about Princess Shuhe and Zhou Zhilan, right? How can such women affect the overall situation of the country? If they can contribute a little to the country and have a little value, it will be their honor."

Duan Yu sneered: "So, you guys are trying to put the blame on someone else, making the Mu family army think that I sent someone to harm Zhou Zhilan?"

Wang Heng was also a shrewd guy. Although Duan Yu was angry and severely punished Concubine Qi, he did not tell Mu Junyan that he was in the palace.

Since he didn't betray him, it means Duan Yu wants to negotiate terms.

Wang Heng smiled and said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. As I said before, Zhou Zhilan is only trying to disrupt the Mu family army's formation and mislead the direction of the Mu family army. She wants to lure Mu Junyan away from the mountain. When the troops of Qi State and other countries and tribes have gathered, Your Majesty can send troops together to attack Juzhou unexpectedly."

Duan Yu: "Do you think the Mu Family Army can't fight without Mu Junyan?"

Wang Heng smiled proudly: "Just now, an imperial edict arrived in Juzhou, but Prince Yong was not in his fiefdom, but went to the southern border countries. What do you think is his crime?"

Duan Yu frowned: "Do you want to charge him with treason?"

"Isn't this obvious? The Yuan family's troops will arrive soon. It will be a serious crime for Mu Junyan to leave the country without the emperor's permission. The minister who announced the decree brought 10,000 guards and surrendered their military power first. Without a leader, the Mu family army will become a mob."

Wang Heng laughed out loud.

"So, you think you have a sure win?"

Following the loud voice, a tall figure pushed the door open and walked in.

Wang Heng turned his head and looked at him with a look of astonishment: "Didn't you leave?"

Following closely behind Mu Junyan was Gu Huan, who was wearing riding clothes, gritting her teeth with fire in her eyes.

Duan Yu also stood up suddenly.

The guards outside couldn't stop Mu Junyan and the others.
