Chapter 291 I don’t owe you anything!
Yun Zhaogang said, "Don't cause trouble for me anymore," and Xie Jingmo immediately locked himself in the dungeon.
Deputy General Gao was devastated and confused, "Oh my god, why are you doing this?"
Xie Jingmo took the door lock and locked it, "I killed Yu Bai."
Deputy General Gao was stunned. "Isn't this matter over?! Who would go into the dungeon on their own?"
Xie Jingmo pursed his lips.
Deputy General Gao thought all this was too magical. "Your injuries haven't healed yet, what are you doing? Come out quickly."
Xie Jingmo didn't say anything, sat down in the dungeon, his eyes indifferent.
Deputy General Gao didn't understand.
The prison guards didn't understand either.
No one in the court understood.
Vice Admiral Gao went to Yun Zhao and complained, "Xie Jingmo must be crazy! He must be crazy! He's absolutely sick."
Yun Zhao didn't speak for a long time.
Until, Deputy General Gao saw the letter sent by Daqing on Yun Zhao's desk.
In the letter, Daqing directly said that he wanted to thank Jingmo.
To put it bluntly, Mu Chengyan is in her hands, and Yun Zhao has to choose between saving Mu Chengyan's life or saving Xie Jingmo.
Deputy General Gao was stunned.
"That's what Daqing is planning!"
No wonder Xie Jingmo locked himself in the dungeon.
This was because he knew what Yun Zhao would choose in the end, so he found an excuse to lock himself in the dungeon.
Are you hoping Yun Zhao will soften his heart?
When Yun Zhao frowned, the messenger sent by Daqing said, "Our leader said that we will only give you three days. If you don't let General Xie return with me after three days, then Mu Chengyan will never come back."
Deputy General Gao drew his sword and put it on the man's neck. "I will make sure you never see the sun tomorrow."
The man smiled and said, "I am not afraid of death. It depends on whether the Queen Mother is willing to part with her old lover."
Yun Zhao spoke in a calm tone and ordered Deputy General Gao to take the man away.
She sat in the front hall all night.
The next day.
The court is full of civil and military officials.
"Queen Dowager, there's no need to think about this. General Xie originally wanted to arrange a marriage. Now Daqing's behavior may seem threatening, but it also expresses deep affection. Otherwise, please help them."
"Yes, Mu Chengyan is the regent that the late emperor relies on the most. His safety is of paramount importance."
"That's right. If the late emperor were still alive, he would definitely choose to exchange General Xie for the Regent."
"Queen Mother, the Regent has lost all his martial arts skills. Every day he stays in the Xiongnu is a day more dangerous!"
“…”
These people speak with conviction and each has his own thoughts.
Some of them had a bad relationship with Xie Jingmo.
Some of them are Yu Xiang's followers. They hope that Xie Jingmo will leave so that a new general can be elected to lead the army.
Some of them were trying to guess Yun Zhao's intentions, thinking that Yun Zhao was biased towards Mu Chengyan and was trying to curry favor with him.
Everyone in the hall considers their own interests.
Yun Zhao frowned.
"Queen Mother, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
After the court session.
Yun Zhao sat in the lotus pond for a long time.
After a long time, she found Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao in astonishment, "Empress Dowager, it's less than three days yet. Perhaps there will be other solutions!"
Yun Zhao's eyes were light, "Da Qing has been planning this in his mind for a long time, otherwise, it would not have been done so flawlessly. Unless Xie Jingmo is allowed to go, Da Qing will not go easy on Mu Chengyan."
"Mu Chengyan is arrogant," Yun Zhao said, "If he is humiliated, he will definitely not live. Let Xie Jingmo go and exchange him first."
Deputy General Gao was stunned.
"Yun Zhao..."
"you……"
"Jing Mo is a prince and a general. He is also a man of steel. If he is humiliated, he will definitely not live in humiliation."
Deputy General Gao thought all this was too magical.
The scene before him was just like when Xie Jingmo wanted to exchange Yun Zhao for 5,000 pieces of armor. He talked a lot, but the people in the hall had already made up their minds.
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao, "You just protected him, and now you want to abandon him. He can't stand this sudden change from heaven to hell."
Yun Zhao pursed his lips and placed his hands on the table. "I have failed Mu Chengyan. Now, I cannot let him get hurt because of me."
Deputy General Gao immediately asked, "What about Jingmo? Yun Zhao, what's the difference between you now and Xie Jingmo back then at the border?!"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything, stood up and walked out.
Lieutenant General Gao yelled from behind, "Queen Dowager! Think again! You and the general fell out over those five thousand pieces of armor. Now, are you going to hurt the general's feelings again because of someone else? You know it took him years to get to you step by step. How can you bear to do that?!"
Deputy General Gao's roars echoed in the palace.
The next day.
Fu Hai took the imperial edict and went down to the dungeon.
Xie Jingmo looked at Fu Hai without any surprise and smiled bitterly.
"You came earlier than I expected."
Fu Hai pursed his lips and handed over the imperial edict.
Xie Jingmo didn't look at it.
I just asked Fu Hai, "Besides the high-sounding words in there, does she have anything else to tell me?"
Fu Hai shook his head.
Xie Jingmo cried and smiled.
Fu Hai bowed respectfully and said, "The Queen Mother is helpless. Please don't bear a grudge against her, General."
Xie Jingmo weighed the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Yes, I understand."
He was silent for a moment, then he said softly, "Okay, go back."
Fu Hai still maintained his bowed posture, "General, do you have anything for me to convey?"
Xie Jingmo lowered his head to look at the imperial edict in his hand and said softly: "In the future, I will be high and mighty, and take care of yourself."
Fu Hai's eyes turned red and he stepped back.
The next day.
The Huns came to pick up Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo came out of the dungeon. The weather was very good that day.
He stood on the steps, looked up at the scorching sun, and blinked without any emotion.
Deputy General Gao looked at Xie Jingmo and sighed, "This matter..."
Deputy General Gao wanted to say that Yun Zhao was doing something wrong.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say them. People are always biased, just like he favored Xie Jingmo. Yun Zhao's heart was with Mu Chengyan, so naturally he chose Mu Chengyan in the end.
In a choice between two options, the favored one always wins.
It's not about right or wrong.
"This time, you are really even." Deputy General Gao said helplessly.
Xie Jingmo, dressed in a grey gown, stood outside Chang'an Street, with the Xiongnu behind him. On the high wall, the messenger bowed and said to Yun Zhao, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. We Xiongnu people are trustworthy. In three days, we will return Mucheng Yan intact and alive. As for General Xie, our leader has also said that she admires him and will definitely treat him well."
Yun Zhao turned his head and looked down at the city wall.
Xie Jingmo had already walked some distance away.
The gray gown was blown by the wind, and the cuffs bulged greatly.
suddenly.
The man turned his head and looked over from afar at the city gate.
Yun Zhao took a step forward, placed his hand on the stone wall, and tightened it.
The wind blows over.
Yun Zhao saw Xie Jingmo smile, and then Xie Jingmo stood at the door and waved to her vigorously.
