Chapter 218: The Great Purification
When Murong Jing heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes.
She knew the importance of peace better than anyone else. If she really killed Mordo, the consequences would be very serious.
"Ajing, if we don't chase after him... we'll be lost." The injured Zhu Qingyan said with all his strength.
Murong Jing's brows were tightly knitted together, her teeth were almost clenched, but she couldn't stab the gun at all.
"Ajing, hurry up, if they escape again this time and the great purification is revived, how many Niujia villages will appear?" Zhu Qingyan was so anxious that he started coughing violently.
Mo Du was originally very afraid of Murong Jing, but when he saw her hesitate for a long time, he understood her concerns and his expression became fearless.
After all, his mission this time was to stop Murong Jing and not let her really destroy the Great Purification. General Zhu Ertai had a delicate relationship with the king. If the border was completely peaceful, the king would have a reason to take back the military power.
Seeing Princess Ning Yue, the famous god of killing in the Northern Frontier, showing such a conflicted and painful expression in front of him, Modu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, with a hint of pride on his face.
However, the next second his smile froze on his face, and his expression slowly changed from pride to disbelief, and finally to extreme horror.
Because the spear in Murong Jing's hand had pierced his throat, and the tip of the spear was sticking out from the back of his neck, dripping with blood.
"Princess Ning Yue! What are you doing! General Mordo is a general of Uzbekistan, and you actually killed him. Do you really want to tear up the alliance--" Mordo's deputy general shouted loudly, but his voice stopped when the tip of the gun pointed at himself.
Murong Jing's eyes were as sharp as knives, "Let your troops go around to the front to intercept the remaining soldiers of the Great Purification. If you dare to disobey my order, I will kill you too."
The deputy general was so frightened that his lips trembled and he almost wet his pants. How could he dare to continue shouting? He had to listen to Murong Jing's instructions and give orders.
Wuzi's horses were better than Daliang's, and their horseshoes were specially made, making them more suitable for running in the desert. Soon, under the command of the deputy general, Wuzi's soldiers directly passed those large exorcists and intercepted them in front of them, forming a front-and-back encirclement with Murong Jing's troops.
Nearly two thousand remaining soldiers of the Dafu Camp saw that they were surrounded by cavalry and knew that they had no chance of escape, so they knelt down one by one and begged for mercy.
Murong Jing had their weapons confiscated and tied up all of them with ropes, preparing to take them back to the Northern Frontier camp as prisoners.
Zhu Qingyan suddenly remembered, "Did Ah Zhu run away? She killed Tianduo and is the new leader of Dafu..."
"What!?" Murong Jing was shocked and was about to send people to arrest him.
"She's dead." Zhu Lan rode his horse to the two of them. "I saw it. When the young princess led her men into the canyon, Ah Zhu must have known that the situation was hopeless and jumped off the cliff. If we go back now, we should be able to find her body."
As he was speaking, Mordo's deputy general rode over on horseback, but did not dare to get too close. He bravely shouted to Murong Jing.
"You Daliang didn't keep your word, tore up the covenant, and killed our General Mordo! I... I want to go back and report to the king..."
Murong Jing looked over, and the two eyes behind the mask instantly burst out with strong murderous intent.
The deputy general was so frightened by this look that he almost fell off his horse. He wanted to run, but was afraid that Murong Jing would attack him from behind.
Murong Jing sneered, "Killing one is killing, killing two is also killing, this princess does not believe in Buddhism!"
"Wait." Zhu Lan suddenly spoke. Murong Jing stopped and looked at Zhu Lan, wondering what she was going to do.
"General, please come here. I have something to tell you." Zhu Lan raised his voice to the deputy general.
The deputy general was full of suspicion, thinking that Zhu Lan was trying to trick him into letting Murong Jing take action.
Murong Jing had a look of disdain on her face. At this distance, if she really wanted to attack, would anyone be able to escape?
She threw the spear casually, and it nailed it firmly to the ground next to the deputy general. He was immediately frightened so much that his face turned pale and he rode over obediently.
"May I ask this general's name and what position he holds in the army?" Zhu Lan asked in a friendly manner.
"Mu Liansheng, General Modu's deputy general." Mu Liansheng said, and at the same time looked nervously in the direction of Murong Jing.
"Then how do you plan to report this matter to the King of Uzbekistan when you return to the court?"
"Of course I will answer truthfully!" Mu Liansheng said with his neck stiff.
"Should I answer that Zhu Ertai sent you and General Modu to cause trouble for Princess Ningyue, and Princess Ningyue had no choice but to kill General Modu in order to pursue the remnants of the Great Purification? If so, what good will it do you?"
"this……"
Mu Liansheng choked. If he said that, how could Zhu Ertai let him go?
"I'm kidding. We can't make up such nonsense to fool General Zhuertai, so we have to tell the truth."
Zhu Lan smiled slightly, "I just saw clearly that you and General Modu fought hard against the enemy, but General Modu was unfortunately injured and fell into the trap of the Great Purification Soldiers, so he fought hard but was defeated and died for his country.
Then, General, you fought to the death and captured thousands of remnants of the Great Purification. Now that General Modu is gone, the position of the chief general is vacant, and you have made such great achievements. If your king is not confused, he will naturally know who should take this position. "
Mu Liansheng pondered Zhu Lan's words, and it seemed to be true.
If I report the truth, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble. But if I follow her, I might even have a chance to replace General Mordo!
Zhu Lan observed Mu Liansheng's expression until he understood what he said, and asked again:
"So, how did General Mordo die?"
Mu Liansheng's eyes lit up, "He was...killed by these bandits!"
Zhu Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Then who should be credited for this great victory?"
Mu Liansheng had obviously figured it out, and he clapped his thigh and said happily, "It's General Zhu Ertai, it's General Zhu Ertai who planned it well!"
"Yes, General Zhuertai planned well, and you fought hard, and finally wiped out the main force of the Great Purification. If you report this to the king, the king will be happy, General Zhuertai will be happy, and you will be happy too. Isn't this a win-win situation for everyone?"
Mu Liansheng began to get excited, and asked Murong Jing carefully if he could get some of these prisoners so that he could take them back to report.
Murong Jing didn't expect that a border crisis could be resolved by Zhu Lan with just a few words, and she readily agreed to let Mu Liansheng take away half of the prisoners.
