Mu Lingxiong and Mu Lingyun didn't say much and tacitly agreed to the captain of the guards' arrangement.
They came with the determination to ask Mu Lingjiu for forgiveness, so naturally they would endure it if they could. It was just being a guard, which was not something completely unacceptable to them.
"You two will guard the tent tonight, understand?"
"I know." Mu Lingxiong replied.
He had also been a superior, so he naturally knew what a guard should do. This was all normal work for a guard.
The two of them stood guard on both sides of Cui Yuanfeng's tent, along with the other guards, and were not treated specially.
That night, Mu Lingjiu received a letter from Qingzhou.
Cui Yuanfeng hurried to find Mu Lingjiu with the letter.
Mu Lingfeng and Mu Lingxiong, the two guards guarding the tent, also wanted to go, but were glared at by the captain of the guards.
"Our duty is to guard the tent. Now that General Cui has left, we have to stay here. Don't try to run around."
Mu Lingxiong frowned, and he, who always had a bad temper, instantly became angry.
Mu Lingfeng gave Mu Lingxiong a calming look and advised, "It's better not to act rashly. Don't forget what we are here for."
Mu Lingxiong nodded reluctantly, "You're right."
The captain of the guards was very satisfied to see that the two men were obedient and nodded.
Mu Lingfeng and Mu Lingxiong both saw Mu Lingjiu from a distance.
Mu Lingjiu was wearing a light beige cloak and discussing the details with Cui Yuanfeng.
"I will go meet Mu Liyuan. If he agrees to surrender within two days, I will come back. If he doesn't agree, we will attack the city as planned."
"It's dangerous to go there. Do you want to go alone?" Mu Lingfeng asked.
Mu Lingjiu nodded, "Yes, I have to go by myself. Mu Liyuan won't be at ease if someone else goes."
"Then I'll go with you." Cui Yuanfeng said.
Mu Lingjiu shook his head, "No, you are the general, you should be in charge here."
"But I would be worried if Mu Liyuan's grandson did something." Cui Yuanfeng said.
Mu Lingjiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know how to get out of this unscathed. You still don't trust me."
"Believe it, of course I believe it. If I don't believe it, who can you believe it?" Cui Yuanfeng said helplessly.
Mu Lingjiu smiled slightly, "Well, I'll be leaving first."
Cui Yuanfeng didn't say anything more and ordered a guard team to escort Mu Lingjiu away.
After Mu Lingjiu walked away, Mu Lingfeng hurriedly asked the captain of the guards beside him, "What's going on? Where is she going?"
"How would I know about this important person's business?" The captain of the guards coughed lightly. "You are guards now, so don't talk so much, or I'll send you to clean the toilet."
It was at this time that Cui Yuanfeng returned to the tent.
When Mu Lingxiong saw Cui Yuanfeng, he immediately asked, "What did you ask her to do?"
Cui Yuanfeng glanced at Mu Lingxiong and said, "Understand your own position. Who told you to ask questions here?"
Mu Lingxiong suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, "I don't have any particular purpose. I just want to ask Lingjiu what's going on..."
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Cui Yuanfeng said coldly.
Mu Lingxiong was quite angry. "We came here to be guards for Lingjiu. If you cause anything to happen to Jiu'er, I will not let you go."
"What? You've suddenly become such good guys?" Cui Yuanfeng sneered, "Have you forgotten how you treated her back then?"
Mu Lingxiong wanted to say something but was stopped by Mu Lingfeng.
Mu Lingfeng shook his head at Mu Lingxiong, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.
Mu Lingxiong shut up reluctantly. They were also living under someone else's roof at the moment and couldn't say much.
Cui Yuanfeng next to him didn't say much, just sneered and went into the house.
The captain of the guards also entered the room.
Mu Lingfeng said to Mu Lingxiong, "Since we have decided to do this, we must choose the best way for Jiuer. Cui Yuanfeng is someone Jiuer trusts, so we should also give him some trust."
Mu Lingxiong snorted coldly, "If it weren't for Jiu'er's sake, do you think I would be more friendly to him?"
As the two were talking, the chief guard came out.
He glanced at the two of them and said, "Hey, the two lords are chatting?"
Mu Lingfeng and Mu Lingyun stopped immediately.
The chief guard laughed and said, "Why don't you continue chatting?"
"If you have something to say, just say it directly." Mu Lingxiong said unhappily.
The captain of the guards tutted his words and said, "Look at your temper. You really shouldn't be a guard. How about you two leave?"
Mu Lingfeng and Mu Lingxiong's expressions changed. They were going to be driven away.
They finally had the opportunity to get close to Mu Lingjiu, so naturally they were unwilling to leave just like that.
Mu Lingfeng immediately said, "We didn't say we were leaving."
"Alright. But we have rules in our barracks. Since you two don't want to leave, you will be punished for gossiping. Are you willing?"
"What punishment?" Mu Lingfeng looked unhappy, but he agreed.
"Didn't I just tell you two? Go clean the toilet."
"What?" Mu Lingxiong's face changed drastically, staring at the head guard, "You want us to clean the toilet?"
"I didn't ask you to do that." The captain of the guards looked innocent. "I was just following the orders of my superiors. I didn't dare to make my own decision. Look, if you don't want to, I won't force you. Just leave. Our General Cui also said that there's no need to keep you two. You two are too powerful for our barracks to afford."
"You go..." Mu Lingfeng agreed before the captain of the guards finished speaking.
The chief guard was startled at first, then laughed and said, "Look, look, there really is a huge gap between people. Your level of awareness is far beyond our reach!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Mu Lingfeng sneered.
The chief guard laughed. "Alright, alright, alright. I won't waste any more words. Come on, take the two lords to clean the toilet."
Mu Lingfeng and Mu Lingxiong were forced to sweep the toilet, each holding a broom.
In fact, the two of them could have solved the problem with magic, but they were now forbidden from using magic and could only do it themselves.
This is a blatant humiliation, but if they want to stay, they have to endure it.
Compared to what they did to Mu Lingjiu, these seemed insignificant.
The two struggled for only a moment before they began to work.
Many people came to watch them, especially the captain of the guards, who was watching with a group of guards from the side.
"My Lord, your sweeping and cleaning skills are not very good. Look, this is not even clean."
Practitioners with high cultivation levels generally do not go to the toilet, after all, they drink wind and dew.
However, there are many practitioners with low cultivation in the military camp. They also need to eat and go to the toilet, so the toilet is not clean and is even very dirty.
It was naturally unbearable for two masters who had never touched water in their lives. Mu Lingxiong vomited several times.
