Shi Qingxue couldn't help but laugh, and the expression on Mo Junyang's face relaxed, as if he was very satisfied.
Yan Xu was so proud when he saw this, he secretly thought that Mo Junyang usually seemed so arrogant and disdainful of all the things in the world. In fact, when real money and silver were placed in front of him, it was not easy to say anything!
The reason why he acted unmoved before was because he didn't give enough!
Master Yan thought he had grasped Mo Junyang's pulse, and he became so smug that he couldn't help but jump up even in his tone of voice.
"It's just a small gift, but I hope that the prince will not take it too little. If you feel that there is anything that is not enough, just tell the official directly! It is a rare time for the prince to come to Jiangzhou, and the official will definitely let the prince return home happily."
He had a hint, and he winked at Mo Junyang ambiguously from an angle that Shi Qingxue couldn't see.
Mo Junyang smiled again, but his eyes were so cold that it made people feel chilly.
Before Yan Xu could realize the depth of Mo Junyang's smile, he heard the man's cold voice asking: "Is Master Yan bribing my son?"
Yan Xu was stunned for a moment and was speechless by Mo Junyang's straightforward question.
Then I heard Mo Junyang continue to ask: "The salary of a fifth-grade magistrate in this dynasty is only three hundred taels of silver per year, and Lord Yan has only been an official for twenty years. Even if he does not eat or drink, it is only six thousand taels of silver." , Dare I ask, sir, where do these big boxes of gold and silver treasures come from?”
Where else could it come from
The plundered people's wealth and the bribes from their subordinates!
This is something that all officials know very well, but when Mo Junyang spread it out and said it, Yan Xu's eyes widened and he couldn't say a word.
However, Shi Qingxue was so amused by Yan Xu's funny expression that she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She has never seen such a stupid official. When other officials see people coming from above to investigate, they all act with their tail between their legs. They wish that evidence of corruption and bending the law had never come out. How could they be as careless as Yan Xu? He proudly carried it out to Mo Junyang and tried to bribe Mo Junyang.
She really laughed to death!
Shi Qingxue was smiling, and Yan Xu finally realized that he had been tricked, and suddenly became angry from shame.
The previous whitewash of peace was gone. Yan Xu glared at Mo Junyang fiercely and snorted coldly: "So what if it's just like what Prince Mo said? I gave it to you with kindness. If the Crown Prince accepts it today, then It’s good for you, good for me, and good for everyone, otherwise…”
Yan Xu's eyes suddenly became extremely dangerous.
Mo Junyang couldn't see it at all and asked slowly: "If not, what do you want?"
Yan Xu: "If not, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as his voice fell, the officials who had been quietly serving as the background drew their swords from their waists and pointed them at Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue.
This situation is almost exactly the same as the situation when the two of them were besieged in the small courtyard when they first arrived in Jiangzhou City.
Mo Junyang secretly sighed: It has been more than a month, and the Jiangzhou prefect has really made no progress at all. You actually think you can defeat him with the same tricks
"I would like to advise the prince not to act rashly. These people are all specially trained soldiers in the Jiangzhou barracks, and they are not the useless losers who were scared to the point of weakness before."
Yan Xu guessed what Mo Junyang was thinking and warned in a low voice.
He looked so confident, as if he could really scare Mo Junyang with these little soldiers and shrimps.
Shi Qingxue took another look at the soldiers who were showing their teeth and claws, and she really noticed the difference.
These people still wear ordinary official uniforms, but their overall temperament is very different from those government servants who spend all day drinking and bullying and only bully good people.
Their eyes are clear and serious, and their will is firm. At first glance, they are real warriors who have received special training.
The soldiers trained in the Shi family's military camp are probably not much better than these people.
It’s such a pity that such a person follows Yan Xu!
Shi Qingxue was the first to have such a thought, but then she began to wonder - how could Yan Xu, a civil servant, cultivate such a temperamental subordinate.
These people look like they came from the military camp!
Military camp!
Shi Qingxue felt as if she had mastered the key words, and suddenly turned her head to look at Mo Junyang, who was also looking at her.
Both of them got a positive answer from the other's eyes.
Mo Junyang was quiet for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Yan Xu, since you know my prince's abilities, you should know that this person alone cannot trap my prince."
Not to mention that Mo Junyang also has a group of equally capable guards.
Yan Xuwu burst out laughing and said arrogantly: "Of course I know that Prince Mo is very powerful, one can defeat a hundred, but Miss Shi Liu may not be able to match him."
While he was speaking, his greedy eyes had already fallen on Shi Qingxue, which was vulgar and disgusting.
Shi Qingxue frowned displeased, and Mo Junyang quickly blocked Yan Xu's gaze, his expression became completely cold, and he looked at Yan Xu as if he were looking at a dead person.
Yan Xu didn't know whether his fear was numbed by alcohol or whether he was fearless after telling the truth. Not only was he not frightened, but he smiled provocatively at Mo Junyang.
It seems to be saying: No matter how strong you look, it doesn't matter if you have weaknesses, they are still under my control.
Mo Junyang pulled Shi Qingxue to stand up and hid the person behind him before snorting coldly at Yan Xu: "Those who dare to threaten my son usually don't live long. Yan Xu, you really have to give it a try. ?"
Yan Xu responded with a arrogant smile, "Xiaguan also wants to say that anyone who dares to go against Xiaguan in Jiangzhou City has not yet been born. Looking at the current situation, Prince Mo is still not born properly!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and the soldiers raised their swords to attack Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang took out the soft sword from his waist, protected Shi Qingxue in his arms with one hand, and waved the soft sword with the other hand, repelling the first wave of attacks in a few or two strokes.
But these soldiers are not easy to deal with. The first attack was just a test, but the second time they learned to spread out and attack from the front and back, leaving Mo Junyang vulnerable to enemies from both sides.
The ability to use troop formations to kill people and capture enemies is extraordinary.
When facing Mo Junyang's weak link, he would attack with all his strength, and when facing his attack, he would switch from offense to defense, coordinate properly, and strive to minimize losses on his side.
For a moment, the two sides were fighting each other, and it seemed that the outcome was inextricable. A few soldiers were even injured by Mo Junyang's sword energy, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that these soldiers were using a wheel of attrition.
Even though Mo Junyang's martial arts skills were unparalleled, he could only be slowly consumed by them as long as he could not escape while protecting Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue was protected in Mo Junyang's arms and was not injured, but she was so anxious now that she wanted to speak several times but was afraid of distracting Mo Junyang and did not dare to say anything.
She was angry and annoyed, blaming herself for why she followed him regardless just because she was worried about Mo Junyang? Without her, Mo Junyang would definitely not be as embarrassed as he is now.
Even if you can't kill everyone in one instant, you definitely have a lot of chances to escape unscathed.
All because of her!
It's all her!
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but fall into self-loathing, and the man's gentle but firm voice came from above his head: "Don't be afraid, I will take you out."
Of course she believed in Mo Junyang, but this didn't make her feel relieved about her delaying behavior, and instead made her even more disgusted.
Just when she was anxious and frustrated, a whistling sound sounded, and the originally orderly attack was interrupted.
Those soldiers were interrupted by sharp arrows flying from behind. Not to mention attacking according to the previous formation, they could only wave their swords in embarrassment to resist the inexplicable flying arrows.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Yan Xu's proud smile turned into doubt and confusion, and he shouted at the soldiers: "Hurry up and capture him for me, don't run away, don't run away!"
But when one's life is threatened, who would care to obey orders to kill someone
Mo Junyang took advantage of this opportunity to fly out of the battle circle with Shi Qingxue and landed in front of Yan Xu.
The bright soft sword was lying in front of Yan Xu, and it could kill this dog official in the next second.
Yan Xu, who was originally about to kill Mo Junyang, suddenly felt like a wild duck that had its neck strangled. He could no longer make a noisy noise to annoy people.
Mo Junyang saw with satisfaction that Yan Xu's legs were shaking with fear. He glanced coldly at the place where the fighting was still going on and asked calmly: "What, Master Yan isn't going to let them surrender?"
It was Mo Junyang who cared about human life and did not kill him. Otherwise, even if these soldiers were very capable, they would not be able to withstand Mo Junyang's offensive and would be completely defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.
No one present doubted such a result. How could Yan Xu dare to say no? He tremblingly shouted to the soldiers who were fighting desperately: "Stop fighting, surrender quickly, surrender quickly!"
The soldiers who had almost become the meat of others paused for a while after hearing Yan Xu's 'order'.
They looked at each other and seemed to see struggle and humiliation in each other's eyes, but in the end they dropped their weapons due to Yan Xu's order.
Shi Qingxue had gone deep into the military camp since she was a child, so she naturally understood how humiliating "surrender" meant to a soldier. The Shi Family Army's instructions were that they would rather die in battle than surrender.
No soldier with any integrity would be willing to accept the word 'surrender', even if it was not on the battlefield.
But then again, wouldn't it be even more humiliating and embarrassing if a soldier did not die in battle, but was killed by his own people's conspiracy
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxue didn't think it was a big deal for this group of people to surrender. She just pulled Mo Junyang's arm. The latter immediately understood what she meant, patted her hand gently, and said The voice that was only heard by two people said: "Don't worry, everyone who has been wronged has their owner, and I won't do anything to them."
Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment. She really wanted Mo Junyang not to humiliate the warriors, but her original intention was to ask Mo Junyang to give these people a happy life, not to ask Mo Junyang to really let them go!
Mo Junyang is not the kind of person who repays kindness with kindness. If someone hurts him, he will be grateful if he doesn't repay him ten times or a hundred times. How can he just let it go without doing anything
After all, isn't it because of Shi Qingxue's "intolerance"
Shi Qingxue felt even more uncomfortable, but now was not the time for her to talk to Mo Junyang, so she could only suppress her eagerness and deal with Yan Xu first.
Yan Xu has done all the bad things before, and now he wants their lives, so he must not be spared lightly!
