Three days later, Lanyan City was particularly quiet in midsummer. The breeze swayed the willow forest outside the city, making a rustling sound. There were endless business travelers outside the city. Lanyan City was different from Wugu City. Even after being massacred, it was still very prosperous. In addition, a large number of people were moved from Yunzhong Province and Qihai Province, which also made the emperor prosperous as before.

Lin Muyu and Qin Yan were stopped when they rode their horses into the city in their clothes and armor. Zhang Wei was already shocked when the centurion on duty brought them to Zhang Wei.

"Sir...you are finally back."

Zhang Wei jumped up, hugged Lin Muyu directly, and laughed: "Old Zhang has always been worried that you will be killed by the demons."

Lin Muyu hurriedly pushed him away and asked, "Sir Zhang Wei, we have received the feather book we sent back from Cangnan Province."

"Well, I've received it a long time ago. Let's go to Zetian Palace now. It's the afternoon time to discuss matters."

"good."

Although the accompanying Xiang Yu sent was full of hostility, Zhang Wei, as the deputy commander of the imperial guards, could not resist, so he had to go to the hall with him.

...

Even the blood-stained armor was not available for replacement, Lin Muyu walked to Zetian Palace. There were not many officials in Zetian Palace, but they were all important officials with great power, including Su Muyun, Tang Lan, Xue Ling, Tang Lu, Tang Tian, ​​Su Yu, etc., as well as a large group of civil and military officials, including the Shangshu Ling, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Revenue.

"The Temple Deacon Lin Muyu meets with him."

The attendant shouted constantly: "The little prince Qin Yan met, Lord Zhang Wei met."

On the throne of the Emperor, Qin Yin was wearing a robe embroidered with golden purple flowers and sat up suddenly, with dark blue tassels hanging on her skirt. She held the hilt of the Zi Yin sword in her hand and looked into the distance from afar. Suddenly, she couldn't help it and walked down the king's stairs.

"Your Highness."

Su Muyun coughed and said, "Please keep your dignity."

Qin Yin stopped and stood there, about a few meters away from Lin Muyu. Her starry eyes looked at him with nostalgia, stammered her delicate red lips, and murmured: "Brother Ayu, are you okay?"

Lin Muyu stepped forward, knelt in front of Qin Yin on one knee, and whispered: "Lin Muyu meets His Highness, Xiao Yin, I'm fine, but the Yangwei Legion has been destroyed except for me and Ayan who escaped."

"Yeah, just flatten..."

Lin Muyu stood up and looked around for a week before she realized that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong. Feng Jixing, Wei Qiu and others looked at him, their eyes full of anxiety, while Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Tang Lu and others were filled with ridicule.

"Min Yulin died in battle, right? Deacon?" Tang Lu suddenly asked with a smile.

"yes."

"Min Yulin, Weihou, has 50,000 elite soldiers killed in Dongshuang City. Why can the deacon retreat back to Lanyan City? Is it really like the feather book sent by Xiang Yu? The deacon escaped at the last moment, gave up the dignity of the imperial soldiers, abandoned Min Yulin and others?" Tang Lu's eyes were full of cruelty, and he asked in a low voice: "Lin Muyu, as a deacon in the temple, have you forgotten the dignity of the imperial soldiers?"

"I didn't escape at the last minute." Lin Muyu looked at him lightly and said, "Xiang Yu is yours. You don't have to throw dirty water on me like this. If I wanted to escape, I would have escaped long ago. Why wait until the moment Dongshuang City broke through."

"Yeah."

A hint of pride flashed through Tang Lu's eyes and said, "I knew you would deny it. Fortunately, we still have someone to testify. Come on, bring the testify to Zetian Palace."

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Lu calmly, but she didn't know what his so-called witness was. Qin Yan was extremely angry and gritted his teeth.

Qin Yin was a little displeased and frowned slightly, saying, "Marquis of Lingbei, you know that Lin Muyu is my righteous brother, why bother him like this?"

Tang Lu held his fists and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I am not trying to make things difficult, but the fact is that. Your Highness will just look at it, and the truth will soon be revealed."

"oh."

Qin Yin raised her lips and said lightly: "Marquis Lingbei, if you do not have sufficient evidence that Lin Muyu escaped at the battle, then don't blame me for taking your MG."

Tang Lu was stunned. Tang Lan beside him frowned and said nothing. As one of the two emperors of the Empire, Tang Lan held half of the country in his hand. At some point, he had begun to hide behind the scenes. All the intentions were completed by Tang Lu and Tang Tianlai.

...

A few minutes later, under the protection of a group of Zetian Palace warriors, a general wearing broken armor walked into the hall. When he came to Lin Muyu and Qin Yan, Lin Muyu almost bit his steel teeth.

"Shi Huo,."

"Lin Muyu."

Shi Huo's face was full of anger and said, "Didn't you expect that I could still come out of Lingdong Province alive? Are you, a timid mouse who dares not confront the demons, still have the face to return to Lanyan City?"

As he said that, Shi Huo suddenly turned around and clasped his fists at Qin Yin, saying, "Your Highness, on August 12th, Dongshuang City was captured by the demons, and the 100,000 Armored Demons besieged Yangwei Legion. Junhou ordered us to fight to the death, but he did not expect Lin Muyu to lead his troops to retreat early and leave Dongshuang City, and escape while we were fighting with the demons. It was even rumored that he had collusion with the leader of the demons, so please let Your Highness observe clearly."

"You're talking nonsense."

Qin Yin's eyes were like a sharp sword: "Brother Ayu is not that kind of person. He came and dragged Shi Huo down and cut him down."

Tang Lu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, General Shi Huo has reason and evidence, not nonsense. Shi Huo, why don't you take out your evidence quickly."

Shi Huo gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Muyu, took out a broken battle flag from his arms, with a faint word "Min" on it, and untied the sword around his waist, wrapped it with the sword and said: "Your Highness, this is what Min Yulin Junhou entrusted to the last general before he died in battle. In addition, Junhou has some words to tell him to you."

"Say." Qin Yin said lightly.

Shi Huo said: "The Lord said that Lin Muyu recruited troops without authorization and was very authoritarian in the army. He had long been unjust. Moreover, the food route of the Yangwei Legion has been formulated by Lin Muyu himself, but he was easily attacked by the demon armor demon and cut off the food. Someone must have reported it. On July 30, Lin Muyu took people out of the city to pull out the poisonous arrows from the demon clan, and brought the plague into Dongshuang City, killing tens of thousands of imperial troops. On August 9, Commander Chai Hong excavated the tunnel and was also discovered by the demon clan. Only a few commanders knew about it and Lin Muyu must have reported it. Several commanders had died in battle, but Lin Muyu was still alive. Everything has proved that Lin Muyu had been in contact with the demon leader long ago. Your Highness, you can't tolerate him just because he is a righteous brother, otherwise."

Qin Yan was furious, pointed at Shi Huo and shouted: "You swear at someone with blood, you beast, swear at someone with blood."

Qin Yin's eyes fell on Lin Muyu and said softly: "Brother Ayu, tell me what he said is fake."

Lin Muyu's heart was filled with pain, but she couldn't say it. She clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness, some of what he said is true, but some of him did not say it."

"Well, Brother Ayu, you said."

Lin Muyu turned to look at Shi Huo and said, "The day before Dongshuang City broke through, Shi Huo and his subordinates dug out the bodies of the imperial soldiers who died in battle and cooked food. When Junhou was about to be punished, Shi Huo treason and led his five thousand troops to open the south gate of Dongshuang City and intended to leave, which directly led to the destruction of Dongshuang City."

Shi Huo's body trembled and pointed at him: "You...you are swearing."

Lin Muyu's eyes cold and shouted: "Shi Huo, Dongshuang City is surrounded by all sides. You know the combat power of tens of thousands of armored demons. I also know that I have been rushing out with Ayan for a lifetime. How could you come out with your little ability? Besides, you hold the Lord's sword and battle flag. There is only one explanation. You surrendered to the demons and agreed to be slaves, so they let you go back to Lanyan City and use you as your inner companion to defeat Lanyan City, right?"

"you."

Shi Huo's face turned red and he said angrily: "Don't be so sarcastic about the public and frame me."

Behind Shi Huo, Tang Lu also said with a grim expression: "Lin Muyu, the facts are in front of you, and you cannot tolerate quibbling. You just fled without fighting. Don't you admit it yet? Shi Huo is a brave general in our Qihai City. He has always been a warrior who rushed to the front of the entire army. He will not lie. I guarantee it with my life."

"Then your life is not worth much."

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Lu with a sneer, and suddenly pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword from her waist. With a "puff", the blade penetrated Shi Huo's back, and a sword penetrated the heart,

"Oh my God."

Everyone was shocked, and no one thought that Lin Muyu would suddenly kill Shi Huo.

"Lin Muyu."

Tang Lu looked at the fallen Shi Huo and looked pale: "You are crazy... you crazy... you dare to kill someone in Zetian Palace. There is His Highness the Queen in your eyes, you..."

"Brother Ayu, you..." Qin Yin looked at him in confusion.

...

"Calm."

The Dragon Spirit Sword suddenly stabbed into the jade brick in front of the hall. Lin Muyu looked up at Qin Yin on the king's steps and murmured: "Xiao Yin, the invasion of the demon army is imminent. Once they cross the Daojiang River, they can destroy the Qin Empire smoothly. This country is about to disappear. I don't want to waste any second arguing with these slander ministers here. If Shi Huozhen is so brave, he will not be killed by me. Time will prove everything. I will admit how I punish me, but... I must send troops to reinforce Wugu City and Shen Cinema as soon as possible to deploy defenses along the Daojiang tributary, otherwise it will be too late for the demons to say anything once they cross the river."

Feng Jixing murmured: "Ayu, the demon clan is really that powerful."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded slightly and said, "Brother Feng, you must be careful once you face the demon clan. They have at least 100,000 Armored Demon Legion, and the combat power of an Armored Demon can be equal to twenty elite soldiers of the empire."
