Although Mu Yan's intentions were unclear, the county captain carried out the order without hesitation.

It has been a long time since Amugu was arrested, and the leader of Xining must have known about it for a long time. However, there has still been no movement, which undoubtedly shows that Amugu has been abandoned by her.

But what is the real purpose of Xining's attack on Longcheng?

Just wanting to capture Longcheng does not seem to be that simple.

There are rumors that Xining's army is powerful, but only [-] soldiers were dispatched this time. There must be a bigger plot hidden behind this.

In order to verify his suspicion, Mu Yan made a bold decision.

"Commander Lieutenant, gather the troops and attack Long County tonight."

The county lieutenant and Meng Daan looked at Mu Yan in surprise. Although they had won the first battle, was the sneak attack on Long County tonight too risky?
  Meng Daan reacted quickly and immediately knelt down and asked Mu Yan for orders, "Sir, I would like to accompany you."

Mu Yan glanced at her. It wasn't that she didn't want her to go with them, but that she needed her to stay in Longcheng.

Meng Daan's attitude was resolute, and Mu Yan couldn't figure out her true purpose, so he directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Why do you want to go with us?"

Meng Daan pursed his lips tightly, looked directly at Mu Yan's gaze, and said in a serious tone, "My subordinate's hometown is in Long County."

No one is born a beggar. When Long County was occupied, she was only a few years old and had her own family.

However, the people of Xining were murderous and began to massacre the people in the city after they invaded Long County. Her mother and father risked their lives to send her to Longcheng, so they only managed to save their lives.

Growing up today, she has even dreamed of taking back her home herself.

Seeing Meng Daan's expression at this moment, Mu Yan suddenly remembered those heroic ancestors in his previous life. She had only seen a few of them in photos, but Meng Daan's expression was exactly the same as theirs.

"That's right."

This brief promise made Meng Daan burst into tears.

She kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you so much, sir."

In the end, Mu Yan decided to let the county captain guard Longcheng.

Three days later, news of Xining's attack on Longcheng had reached Fucheng.

Even the empress, who is known for her kindness and kindness, couldn't help but be angry when she learned about this.

She sternly asked in the court: "What are you ministers doing? Such a major incident happened in Longcheng, and no one reported it!"

What made her even more angry was that Longcheng's scouts had tried to deliver the news many times, but were brutally intercepted and killed by people in the dark.

Such behavior is undoubtedly secretly promoting the defeat of Dongning Country.

Seeing the Queen's expression of anger, none of the ministers in the court dared to say anything. They all buried their heads and waited for the Queen to calm down.

When the Queen saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

In this huge court, no one dared to come forward.

"Prince Donglong, what's your solution?"

Ruan Jingzheng was wandering in his mind and was called upon by the Queen. He quickly responded: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to send troops immediately."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the court.

Everyone knows that it is imperative to send troops, but there are different opinions about the person who will lead the army.

Dongning State valued culture over military affairs, resulting in a shortage of generals.

The only general of the Zhu Kingdom who can take on this important task is extremely powerful, but he is already old.

Ruan Jing has been resting quietly since she returned to Fucheng. This battle seems to have nothing to do with her.

It sounds good to meditate, but it is just a rhetoric given by the Queen.

The Queen silently observed the reactions of the ministers and sighed helplessly.

Her court was always silent when disaster struck.

But on weekdays, there are always some people who are ignorant of current affairs and make a lot of noise.

When everyone was hesitant, General Zhuguo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the army." A trace of surprise flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she refused sternly, "I know General Zhuguo is eager to lead the army, but this matter will come later. care."

After hearing these words, General Zhuguo's eyes were filled with sadness, and he silently retreated to his position.

Ruan Jing, who lowered his head, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. At this time, the queen was still caring about her own face.

When everyone was filled with sorrow, the excited voice of a female official broke through the silence and reached everyone's ears.

"Great victory! Longcheng County Guards defeated the Xining people and captured Amugu alive!"

When the queen heard the news, her face was filled with joy and she hurriedly ordered the female officials to submit a memorial.

When she read it carefully, her inner joy was beyond words.

"It's great. Dongning has so many talents, and they can actually win a great victory with [-] people against the [-] Xining army!"

The word "great victory" made everyone in the court feel relieved, and finally ushered in a turning point.

However, before they could rejoice for a long time, another female official shouted a great victory and walked into the court quickly.

The Queen hurriedly took the memorial and read it page by page.

After reading the key point, she stood up excitedly and read aloud word for word.

"The governor of Longcheng County led [-] soldiers to attack Longxian County at night and won another great victory!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. As we all know, the fall of Long County has always been the queen's heartache.

Now that she was recaptured by Longcheng County Sheriff in one fell swoop, she would undoubtedly have a new look at the County Sheriff.

At this moment, everyone in the court had different thoughts, and the weather vane for the future seemed to have quietly changed.

The Queen held the report tightly, her face was excited, and she was once again immersed in the content.

She glanced around the court and asked in an passionate tone: "The governor of Longcheng County has made outstanding contributions. What do you think is an appropriate reward?"

Ruan Jing finally discovered Mu Yan's true intention at this moment.

However, when did Miss Yan start planning?

She couldn't help but wonder.

Ruan Jing, who was still thinking, heard the queen's question and laughed in his heart.

The war in Longcheng is still going on, and the people need to be comforted, but the queen is eager to reward and win over the courtiers.

Even the eldest princess, who had always been timid, stepped forward at this moment: "Mother, my son and I think we should be generously rewarded, granted an official title, and moved to the capital."

As soon as this statement came out, the eldest princess's followers all agreed.

They knew very well that the Longcheng County Governor was very talented, and if they could use him for their own purposes, he would be even more powerful.

The second princess, who has always been silent, also expressed her position: "Mother, my son and minister second my opinion."

The Queen's face changed slightly, but she soon regained her composure. After careful consideration, she gave an answer: "The reward will be discussed after Longcheng regains peace."

What she wants is for the two princesses to fight each other, instead of having the same goals as they do now.

Then, she turned to Ruan Jing, who had been staying away from the incident.

“I heard that the king of Donglong County had an encounter with the Longcheng County Governor.

This time, you will be responsible for the follow-up matters in Longcheng. After the matters in Longcheng are dealt with, you will also pass on my decree and send Mu Yan, the governor of Longcheng, to the palace to meet the saint. "

When everyone heard this, their faces showed expressions of watching a good show.

Who knows that the king of Donglong County and the Longcheng County Sheriff are at odds with each other, and the two have clashed many times.

When Ruan Jing was sent this time, everyone predicted that there would be a big disturbance.

Ruan Jing's expression remained unchanged and he replied respectfully, "I obey your order."

Thank you for the small votes cast by Yikusitian and Yeweiliang-bB.
