Volume 10 Chapter 219

Chapter 219

Qingyu's previous method of currying favor with Li Jin really worked. At the critical moment, Li Jin really spoke for him in the court.

Now, the fault of Qingyu and Ji Wei is still undecided, mainly because Ningdi is a long way from Zhenjiang, and Ji Wei is still on his way back to the capital.

Li Jin pleads for Qingyu, hoping that the king can re-employ him. Anyone can see that Li Jin regards Qingyu as his confidant and hopes to win Qingyu over to his party. Li Jin is already a general. If he wins over Qingyu, the general, his power will be even greater. By then, no one in the court can compete with him.

Taifu Zhang Rong was the first to jump out and express his opposition, saying that Qingyu was suspected of deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates. Before the truth of the matter is thoroughly investigated, it is not appropriate to arrange him to an important position, otherwise once a change occurs, the country will be in danger and it will be too late to regret.

Regarding this matter, the left prime minister Guo Hui also stood on the same front as Zhang Rong. He also specifically cited the fact that Qingyu and Tang Yin fell off the cliff together. He did not mention that Qingyu forced Tang Yin to be a scapegoat before falling off the cliff, but emphasized that Qingyu and Tang Yin had been together for many days under the cliff, and they were able to live in peace. There might be something hidden between the two.

Shao Fang was a suspicious person. He was extremely afraid of his subordinates' disloyalty to him, especially the generals who commanded thousands of troops. When Li Jin recommended Qingyu, he was a little moved, but after listening to Guo Hui and Zhang Rong's words, he immediately changed his mind and stated on the spot that Qingyu must not be used, and he was not allowed to leave the mansion privately before Ji Wei returned to the capital.

The implication was that Qingyu was temporarily placed under house arrest.

Li Jin recommended Qingyu in order to win over the hearts of the people and strengthen his own party, but the result made Qingyu's situation in Mo State further worse. To put it bluntly, Qingyu became a victim of the party struggle in the court of Mo State.

Although the court is not a battlefield, it is more dangerous and brutal than a battlefield. They kill people without blood and eat people without spitting out bones.

During Qingyu's house arrest, Feng Guoan's spies in Zhenjiang began to stir again. Three waves of Feng Guo spies visited Qingyu in Qing Mansion. They did not reveal their identities, but reminded Qingyu that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him. They hoped that he would make plans early to avoid persecution, so as to test Qingyu's words and intentions.

Qingyu could not determine the origin of these Feng Guo spies, nor did he know whether they were sent by the king to test him. He did not talk to them much, but just showed that he was loyal to Mo Guo and would never have second thoughts in the past or in the future.

His words were flawless and his attitude was firm. Seeing that there was no opportunity to find, the Feng Guo spies left hastily.

At this time, Qingyu remembered what Tang Yin had said to him, Shao Fang was suspicious and narrow-minded, and the defeat of the Mo army in Su Yue would never end well. Tang Yin actually guessed it right. Qingyu thought it was ridiculous that he, a general, didn't know the king as well as the monarch of the enemy country.

A few days later, Ji Wei finally rushed back to Zhenjiang from a long distance. In the court, Qingyu and Ji Wei confronted each other face to face. The situation was similar to the letter they sent at the beginning. They still insisted on their own opinions. Qingyu said that he had not received Ji Wei's alarm, while Ji Wei insisted that he sent his men to warn.

Qingyu's words were testified by the generals under his command at the beginning, and Ji Wei's words were also testified by the officials of Mozhanning. Both of them had their own subordinates as witnesses, and no one was willing to admit that they were at fault. At this time, Shao Fang could only make one choice, either to choose to believe Qingyu or to choose to believe Ji Wei.

In the question of choosing one of the two, Shao Fang finally chose his own confidant, Ji Wei.

As for Qingyu, he really let him off the hook and didn't make things too difficult. He just temporarily dismissed Qingyu from his official position and asked him to go home to reflect on his mistakes and see the results.

With Shao Fang's brutal personality, not killing Qingyu was a great favor, and it can be seen from this that he likes Qingyu, but for Qingyu, such a result is something he cannot accept in any way.

He obviously did nothing wrong, but because the king did not trust him, he accused himself of "improper command", and Ji Wei was obviously a timid little man, but because he was a confidant of the king, even if he made mistakes, he could be ignored. How could Qingyu accept it and not feel chilled?

After this incident, Qingyu was disheartened and stayed in his house, drinking every day.

Logically, the matter should have come to an end, but Ji Wei did not intend to let Qingyu go. Qingyu is a talented general with outstanding abilities. This time, he has made a grudge with him again. If he cannot kill him, then when he makes a comeback in the future, he will be the one who is unlucky.

Ji Wei bribed the ministers who were on good terms with him and asked them to go to Qingyu's house to drink with him. When Qingyu was drunk, he deliberately used words to induce Qingyu to say some disrespectful remarks to the king. Ji Wei was Shao Fang's confidant. He knew very well that Shao Fang had spies in the houses of ministers and generals in the court. Many of them were selected by him personally. The words and deeds of ministers and generals would be reported to Shao Fang every day. He wanted to use this to eradicate Qingyu.

Having been excluded by the court party members and Shao Fang's distrust of him, Qingyu had been in extreme depression and depression. At this time, there were ministers who were willing to visit him without avoiding suspicion. Naturally, he was very happy and welcomed it. After meeting, it was inevitable to eat and drink. The more wine they drank, the more they talked. In addition, the visitor deliberately guided him, and Qingyu's words occasionally revealed complaints about the king.

His drunken talk was just a complaint, but when it reached Shao Fang, it turned into resentment. It was like this for one day, two days, and every day. How could Shao Fang tolerate it? In addition, Ji Wei and his ministers instigated and framed him. Shao Fang was furious. In a fit of rage, he stripped Qingyu of his title, sealed his mansion, and imprisoned Qingyu and his family.

A little man like Ji Wei would never stop until he had wiped out his opponent.

Although Qingyu had been thrown into prison, he still refused to give up and still slandered Shao Fang, falsely claiming that Qingyu insulted Shao Fang in prison as a mediocre king, a future king of the fallen country, and a prisoner of Feng State.

Shao Fang was so angry that he summoned the supervisor of the cell to ask if this happened. The prison officer who had long been bribed by Ji Wei said on the spot that Qingyu did speak wildly in prison and was extremely disrespectful to the king.

This time, Shao Fang really wanted to kill him. He ordered the Sikou Mansion to execute Qingyu and all the young men in his family.

Qingyu had no brothers or sisters, no children, and only his mother and a few concubines left by his father. However, the Qing family had many servants, no less than 200 in total, and all of them were subject to the same crime.

The news that Shao Fang intended to execute Qingyu spread quickly, and was also reported to Tang Yin by the Feng Kingdom's intelligence.

At this time, Tang Yin was in Cangping. After receiving the intelligence, he smiled bitterly and sighed. It seemed that he had unfortunately predicted it. In the battle of Suyue, Shao Fang did not intend to let Qingyu go.

Such an outstanding general, Shao Fang had the heart to execute him. If the Mo Kingdom did not perish, it would be really unfair.

He immediately ordered Cheng Jin, Letian, and Ai Jia to rescue Qingyu and his family and bring them to the territory of the new Mo Kingdom, no matter what means the dark arrows, the sky eyes, and the ground nets used.

Cheng Jin, Letian, and Ai Jia followed the order and left. Finally, the three of them made a plan. The spies of Tianyan and Diwang in Zhenjiang acted as the insiders, and the dark arrows were sent to break the prison and rescue Qingyu by force. As for his family, I am afraid that not many can be saved. At most, he can only take his biological mother away.

Just two days before Qingyu was executed, late at night, the death row prison where he was imprisoned was suddenly attacked by a large number of dark spiritual practitioners. The jailers suffered heavy casualties. The death row prisoners in the cell were all released by the dark spiritual practitioners, and the whereabouts of Qingyu and his biological mother were unknown.

The news reached Shao Fang as soon as possible. The latter was furious and immediately ordered the blockade of the capital and the city to search for the whereabouts of Qingyu and his followers. As a result, Mo Jun searched Zhenjiang from top to bottom, but did not find Qingyu, but caught many of the released death row prisoners.

In fact, the hiding place of the dark arrow personnel and Qingyu was not hidden, but it was very unexpected because they were hiding in the mansion of Taifu Zhang Rong.

There have always been two spies from the Sky Eye and the Ground Network staying in Zhang Rong's house, Liang Ren and Liu Yang mentioned above. This time, in order to rescue Qingyu, Fengguo invested a lot of money in Zhang Rong, and Zhang Rong, who was blinded by money, also accepted it happily.

No one could have thought that Zhang Rong, who had publicly rejected Qingyu in the court, would accept him at this time. Moreover, Zhang Rong was the Grand Tutor, and the soldiers were all polite to him. Even if they entered his house to search, they were just going through the motions, and they didn't dare to really check every inch.

Since the prison break, Qingyu seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one could see him alive or dead. In the end, it became an unsolved case. It is impossible for a country's capital to be blocked for a long time. After three days of closing the city, Shao Fang reluctantly revoked the blockade order, but issued a national wanted order.

With Zhang Rong as a cover, the dark arrow personnel took Qingyu out of Zhenjiang smoothly. After leaving the city, Zhang Rong returned immediately. What happened next had nothing to do with him. How to take Qingyu away was the problem of Fengren.

In the past few days, Qingyu has been in a coma. His body is weak and can't stand the calamity of prison, not to mention that he has been turned from a general to a death row prisoner. Since he entered the prison, he has not eaten a single bite of food. No one needs to torture him, he tortured himself half to death.

Having left Zhenjiang, how to bring Qingyu and his biological mother back to Cangping is not a difficult task for the dark arrows, not to mention that there are spies from the sky and the ground network to guide along the way, which is even more effective.

Half a month later, the dark arrows successfully escorted Qingyu back to Cangping without any danger.

Upon learning the news that Qingyu arrived safely in Cangping, Tang Yin was overjoyed and went out of the city to greet him in person. Even Lingshuang and the ministers and generals of Fengguo were very curious about Qingyu and wanted to see with their own eyes what this famous general of Moguo who could make the king lose a series of battles looked like.
