With the help of the Black Dragon Guards, the Mu family compiled a list of all of Mu Rong's former loyal generals.
After writing down a long list, Mu said, "Although these are all my father's former generals and the most loyal, people's hearts are fickle. I don't know how many of them are still loyal and how many have changed. Many of them may have been killed."
The more Mu spoke, the sadder she became. Many of the people on the list were uncles and aunts who had watched her grow up, but because of her, they were persecuted by Jiang Liangji.
The Black Dragon Guard took the list and Mu's token and prepared to leave.
"etc"
Mu called out to the Black Dragon Guard.
"I can also draw a map of the Northwest Army's defenses, and I know where the fodder and food are stored..."
Mu Huo went out.
She didn't want anything now, she just wanted to kill Jiang Liangji to avenge herself, and go to the underworld to apologize to her father and brothers after her death.
"I'll find you a female corpse and do it tonight."
After the Black Dragon Guard finished speaking, he disappeared.
Mu was stunned for a moment, then became expectant.
In the evening, Jiang Da and his friends showed up.
"Mother, you..."
Mu glared, "What do you mean, you're hoping I'll die."
"No"
Jiang Da did not admit it. From morning till now, almost half a day, he thought his mother was gone, so he couldn't help but come over to confirm.
Mu looked at the three sons behind Jiang Da, her heart sank and the chill invaded her whole body.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, they seemed to be asking their mother to die.
Mu was extremely disappointed. He was indeed Jiang Liangji's offspring.
Although they were clearly her children, her sons all looked like Jiang Liangji and the Jiang family, and had few similarities with her and the Mu family.
"You, all of you, are hoping for my death."
Although she wanted to die for her sons, they were her own flesh and blood after all, and she had loved them for so many years, so how could she really blame her sons for hating her?
But looking at the four pairs of eyes, Mu was suddenly filled with sadness.
She knew that she had a bad temper and was raised to be spoiled and domineering.
But her character has been formed over the years, and it was for this reason that she chose to marry Jiang Liangji, a farmer's son, because she felt that he was easy to control and there would be no need for him to take a concubine.
Jiang Liangji also agreed to her promise and promised not to take a concubine.
Mu didn't think he was wrong.
It’s just that Jiang Liangji knows how to pretend and has changed.
She had been foolishly deceived for many years and had never been on guard against Jiang Liangji. She often spoke well of him in front of her father and his brothers, helping him to achieve merit and get promoted quickly.
In addition, with four sons, even if Jiang Liangji's status in the northwest becomes higher and higher, Mu would not think that Jiang Liangji could escape her control and betray her.
After all, in the northwest, no matter how powerful Jiang Liangji is, he can't surpass her father.
But she didn't expect that Jiang Liangji would kill her father and seize power in rebellion.
"How could a mother think such bad things of her son?"
Jiang Da was dissatisfied. "We grew up in the military camp. We should have been with our father, building great achievements and achieving unparalleled success. If it weren't for mother, how could we be imprisoned here with him? In the future, when father becomes king, we, as legitimate sons, will be abandoned. Is this the outcome mother wants to see?"
Jiang Er, Jiang San, and Jiang Si also felt that their eldest brother was right. Their father now controlled the northwest, and it was not an exaggeration to call him the King of the Northwest.
When their father becomes emperor in the future, they will be honored princes or even emperors.
Just thinking about it makes my heart burn.
But because of their mother's existence, they will not be valued by their father.
Although my father has not married yet, he has many women, and one of his concubines is already pregnant. If he marries and has a legitimate son in the future, they will be completely abandoned, and he will no longer care about them at all.
Therefore, their mother must die, and they must completely draw a line with the Mu family in order to gain their father's attention.
"Please, mother, think of your sons. We are your bloodline, and only we will always remember you and the Mu family. If you ever reach the top, I will posthumously confer honors on you and the Mu family."
Jiang Da made a promise.
Mu Shi didn't say anything. Jiang Er sighed and said:
"Mother, we received news that father's two concubines are pregnant."
This is also the reason why they are anxious.
If it weren't for the Black Dragon Guard, Mu would indeed commit suicide as his son wished, and then place his vague hopes on his sons.
But now that he can take revenge and save the Mu family, he naturally won't rely on a few ungrateful sons.
It is understandable that she has such thoughts, but she is also their biological mother. However, they don't care about her at all, never show any concern or ask about her, and all they have are complaints and dissatisfaction with her.
She gave birth to four children, but none of them missed her.
Mu was also very frustrated.
"You guys go now, come back tomorrow morning to collect my body."
Mrs. Mu was unwilling to continue talking to her sons.
The sons did not want to bear the reputation of forcing their mother to death, so the people who looked after them in the villa were arranged by their father.
At night, a fire illuminated the darkness.
A villa of the Jiang family caught fire.
The fire started from Mu's room.
"The fire is coming out. Put it out quickly."
Jiang Da and his companions rushed out of their respective rooms, shouting loudly.
After the fire was extinguished, only a charred female corpse remained, its original appearance completely unrecognizable.
"Are you sure it's the Mu family?"
Jiang Liangji received the news of Mu's death with a calm expression.
"My lord, yes."
The people reporting to him didn't know how to address Mu.
"Let the eldest sons bury their mother."
They didn't even arrange the funeral for Mu.
Jiang Liangji actually didn't hate Mu that much. Marrying Mu allowed him to rise to prominence overnight.
But although Mu was old and ugly, she was still jealous and strong, which made Jiang Liangji very disgusted.
Anyone with status in the army had one or two concubines, but just because he was the son-in-law of the Mu family, he was not allowed to take even one concubine.
Just when he felt he had grown strong enough, he pretended to be drunk and slept with a maid, but Mu killed her.
Jiang Liangji felt disgusted whenever he thought of this incident.
In the northwest, no matter how high he climbed, he was still inferior to the Mu family. How could he be willing to accept this?
If you want to take the throne, the Mu family must die.
After he becomes king or emperor, the younger generations of the Mu family will no longer be able to stay.
After sending his men away, Jiang Liangji went to the backyard. Now he accepted all women who came to him. He already had more than 20 concubines in the backyard, and two of them were pregnant.
Jiang Liangji was extremely satisfied. This was the life he wanted to live.
When he becomes emperor in the future, he will have three thousand concubines waiting for his favor. That will be a life like a god.
Jiang Liangji, who was immersed in the gentle fragrance of the beauty's nest, was awakened.
"My lord, something terrible has happened, my lord."
"What is it?"
Jiang Liangji was furious when his good thing was interrupted.
"The imperial army has stormed the city gate."
Jiang Liangji immediately jumped up, furious, "How could the imperial army break into the city gate? Who dares to betray me?"
"It was the former members of the Mu family who opened the city gates to welcome the imperial army. My lord, quickly give the order to fight, otherwise it will be too late."
