In an instant, Captain Li and his group were caught up by the Mu family's carriage and surrounded.
Li Baihu was furious and drew his sword with a whoosh. "You want to rebel? Don't forget, you are exiled prisoners. Even if I kill you all, the court will not convict me."
He didn't take these exiled prisoners seriously at all, so what did the death of a few of them matter?
Mu Ziang looked at Mu Zicheng, who was thrown on the horse and covered in blood, and said angrily, "Let my brother go."
The whole family jumped off the carriage, with Mu Wanqing rushing to the front.
Mu Zicheng was seriously injured and dying, his consciousness was in and out, and he was shocked when he heard the familiar voice, "Don't worry about me, go back quickly."
Mrs. Mu's tears flowed down her cheeks and she cried out of heartache.
Captain Li pointed his sword at Mu Zicheng's neck and prepared to swing it down. Mu Zicheng's mind went blank and he stared blankly at the sword falling down.
Are you going to die?
“No, no, no, don’t.” Madam Mu was terrified. She collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down her face.
Master Mu's eyes went dark and his body was shaking.
Mu Wanqing's eyes flashed with anger, "Stop, what do you want?"
The long sword stopped just an inch away from Mu Zicheng's neck. Captain Li was fearless and said triumphantly, "I want 50,000 silver and the formula for cement."
The angrier Mu Wanqing got, the more she calmed down. "So it was all about money. Why didn't you tell me earlier? We can discuss everything."
Seeing her so straightforward, Captain Li rolled his eyes and said, "I've changed my mind. I want 100,000 taels of silver plus the cement formula."
Mu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, not afraid of dying of fullness. "Okay, let him go first."
Li Baihu refused again, "I heard that you are resourceful, I dare not let you go first, give me the formula and banknotes first."
He keeps doing this over and over again, which clearly shows that he is not keeping his word.
Mu Wanqing asked calmly, "Then how can I believe that you will let him go after you take the things?"
"Believe it or not, it depends on your luck." Captain Li's shameless words made everyone so angry that they clenched their fists.
I really want to beat him up!
Mu Wanqing looked at Captain Li steadily and was silent for a while. "How about this, I'll give you the recipe first, and I'll give you the banknotes after you release the person."
She has retreated again and again, and she will rescue the people first.
Unexpectedly, Captain Li said, "I changed my mind again. I want you to be my bed warmer..."
The people of the Mu family stared at Captain Li in disbelief. They couldn't believe their ears. It was so shameless.
How dare he say such a thing?
Mu Wanqing looked very calm, like an unrelated bystander. "What did you say? Say it again."
It was not the first time that Captain Li had done such a thing, and he succeeded every time. He had military merits and a backer, and the exiled prisoners were as humble as grass, so he could do whatever he wanted.
He stared at Mu Wanqing in a lewd manner, saying dirty things, "I'm in a good mood today, and I like you, a yellow-haired girl. From now on, as long as you serve me obediently, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
His subordinates were even more exaggerated, "Girl, you are so lucky. A lowly exiled female prisoner can catch the eye of my master. From now on, you will have a good life. Do you know who my master's sister is? She is the niece of General Du and is deeply loved by General Mu's wife."
Master Mu was so angry that he went mad at these shameless things.
But, what is more important is the powerlessness and indignation of being treated like a fish at the mercy of others.
Mu Wanqing was not ashamed at all. Instead, she looked Li Baihu up and down. "No wonder you are so arrogant despite your lack of moral integrity. It turns out that you rely on selling your sister for fame and fortune."
Her reaction was beyond Li Baihu's expectation, and she stepped on his vital point. He was immediately angry, "How dare you! Don't you want your eldest brother's life? I only need to poke him lightly and he will be dead. He is the eldest son of your Mu family and the hope for the future. As long as you nod and agree, I can save him."
Mu Zicheng still had some consciousness, and he struggled and shouted, "Sister, don't believe his lies, he wants to get both the woman and the money..."
He is not just attracted by her beauty, he clearly wants everything.
Once you become his, everything belongs to him, including the snack street that is under construction.
"I'll kill you if you say one more word." Captain Li was so angry that he poked Mu Zicheng's neck lightly, and blood immediately flowed out.
However, he did not back down. Instead, he forced himself to challenge, "Kill me, go ahead."
Captain Li was extremely angry and raised his sword high up, "You are looking for death."
The bright red blood dyed Mu Wanqing's eyes red, her anger was completely ignited, and murderous intent flashed across her mind.
"Stop it, I promise."
"Sister, no." Mu Zicheng and his brother said at the same time.
"Qing'er, don't." Although Madam Mu felt sorry for her son, she also didn't want her daughter to suffer. She was a woman of integrity.
Master Mu couldn't stand it any more. "Don't do anything stupid. This kind of person is not worth entrusting your life to."
They are clearly treating them as playthings, wanting to benefit from them while also wanting to trample on them.
Li Baihu was very proud and laughed loudly, "This is a smart person. One must know the current situation when dealing with things."
He waved at Mu Wanqing, "Come here dear, I love you."
Mu Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. She took a step forward and was held back by her parents, one on each side. "Qing'er, you are not allowed to go."
"Clan leader, no." The other members of the Mu family couldn't help it. This was not only a humiliation to Mu Wanqing, but a humiliation to everyone in the Mu family.
Mu Wanqing shook her head at them and made an OK gesture, indicating that everything was under her control.
She waved away her parents' hands and walked towards Li Baihu step by step.
Li Baihu's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he saw money rolling in, and he was so happy. "I told you, no one can refuse me, even a beautiful woman, as long as I want it, I can always get it."
Mu Wanqing walked up to Li Baihu and smiled, "You want to steal the emperor's things?"
"What?" Li Baihu was stunned, and then a sharp pain came over him. He lowered his head blankly, and there was a knife in his chest. "Ah."
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change.
Mu Wanqing turned the handle of the knife expressionlessly, applying force, turning left, right, and then applying force again.
Captain Li felt as if his body was twisted into a knot. The severe pain made his hair wet with sweat in an instant, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground without his control.
"Bitch, how dare you..."
He always looked down on women and never guarded against them. He thought women were weak and only worthy of being toyed with by men.
But now, he was badly hurt by his own arrogance.
"Let my master go first." Captain Li's men then slowly surrounded him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Captain Li had already fallen into Mu Wanqing's hands. Mu Wanqing grabbed Li Captain Li's hair, with the dagger in her hand still firmly stuck in him.
When Jiang Tongzhi arrived with his soldiers, he saw this scene and his eyes trembled. "Stop it, Mu Wanqing, release Captain Li."
"Sir Jiang, this woman attacked an official of the imperial court and chopped her and her family into pieces."
Mu Wanqing's eyes were frighteningly cold. She gently pulled out the dagger, and when everyone thought she had compromised, she stabbed Li Baihu's lower body in full view of everyone.
Captain Li let out a shrill scream, and all the men present were horrified.
Jiang Tongzhi felt terrible and broke out in a cold sweat, "Mu Wanqing, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?"
"Catch them all and put them in death row."
The soldiers he brought rushed towards the Mu family, who were sweating profusely.
At this moment, Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly and shouted, "Jiang Tongzhi, this person was spying on the top-secret military information of Daqi with the intention of treason. Fortunately, I discovered and stopped him in time. I have made contributions to the country. Your attack on me is to assist this person in treason."
What? The soldiers stopped involuntarily.
Li Baihu's men were furious and angry, "You are talking nonsense, Lord Jiang, she is talking nonsense, don't believe her nonsense."
Jiang Tongzhi didn't believe her either, but he had to admit that she was quite quick-witted. It was a pity that she was so impulsive.
Mingming, there is a bright future.
"Mu Wanqing, I saw you stabbing Li Baihu with my own eyes, but do you have any evidence to support your accusation?"
Mu Wanqing has always been very careful in what she does, and even if she is angry, she will always have a backup plan.
She looked coldly at Li Baihu's lackey, "Li Baihu wants the formula of cement, is this true? Swear on the lives of all your clan members to tell the truth."
The lackey hesitated, "Yes, but this is top secret information and has nothing to do with treason."
This is what Mu Wanqing wanted to hear. "Because you are stupid, you don't realize that cement is an important material used in the military. It can only be controlled by the emperor. No one else can control it. Once it leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"A mere centurion is trying to compete with the emperor for something. He even said that as long as Li Baihu wants something, he must get it. He will also take the emperor's things. He is really crazy. He wants to rebel."
Everyone's expression changed. Is this true?
Mu Wanqing looked at Li Baihu, who had fainted from the pain, as if he were looking at a dead person. "I stabbed this man who had no respect for his king or father, so what? I am being loyal to my king and to the Great Qi."
That's a pretty good reason, okay?
Jiang Tongzhi felt a pang in his heart. This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If it was not handled properly, it would cause a big disturbance.
"But you are using it, you haven't offered it up."
Mu Wanqing smiled brightly, "Who said I didn't? Two months ago, I sent someone to present the cement formula to His Majesty the Emperor."
She smiled and dropped a bombshell, shocking everyone present.
"Captain Li is really bold. I respect no one but Captain Li. He dares to rob anything and do anything. He has no regard for the emperor or the Great Qi. It is true that he is ambitious and ruthless."
The accusation was proven. Not only could the people present not save Captain Li, but even General Du could not do it.
Li Baihu's men were all stunned and muttered to themselves, "Impossible, this is impossible."
Mu Wanqing counted on her fingers and said, "According to the time, the emperor should have received the cement formula by now."
She had taken every possible detail into consideration and asked Mr. Zeng to bring the cement formula back to Beijing.
He can maximize the benefits by sending the formula to the emperor through the deputy commander of the Wuyiwei.
Unfortunately, sometimes, man proposes, God disposes. She never expected that Captain Li would go crazy.
As they were talking, a group of soldiers rushed out from the garrison not far away. They were all Captain Li's men who came out to check the situation.
Seeing this scene, they immediately became anxious and surrounded Li Baihu to rescue him.
Their fate is tied to Li Baihu's, they prosper together and suffer together.
In the chaos, Li Baihu woke up slowly and touched down there. Well, it was gone!
He was shocked and angry, and completely lost his mind. "Kill her, kill all the people in the Mu family, don't spare a single one."
"Let's see who dares to come up?" Mu Wanqing sneered, "Do you all want to be buried with him? Treason will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan."
"Don't believe her. Kill her first. There will always be a way to smooth things over." Li Baihu was filled with grief and anger, and wanted to burn himself to death. "Sir Jiang, please leave quickly for the sake of my sister, and pretend nothing happened."
Jiang Tongzhi was wavering and struggling internally.
Mu Wanqing saw this and sneered, "It's too late to kill someone to silence him. I even wrote a letter to the emperor. I'm also a registered person in front of the emperor."
Captain Li's men looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss as to what to do. This matter seemed to be bigger than they had imagined.
"Ignore her. My sister will definitely help me, and Du Shuai will definitely protect us..."
Mu Wanqing raised the dagger high, "Why do you have to force me to stab someone? Why do you have to embarrass a weak girl who can't take care of herself?"
The dagger in her hand attracted the attention of countless people. Jiang Tongzhi's eyes condensed and he asked anxiously, "Wait a minute, where did you get the dagger in your hand?"
