Chapter 873 Where did the barbarians come from?
The captain looked at Chu Mo's cold, slightly ferocious face, shook his head vigorously and said:
"I have no way of knowing whether the news is true. I only know that everyone in Chang'an City is now talking about the news that Duke Wei fled without a fight. It is probably not false."
After hearing what the other party said, Chu Mo stood up straight, looked at the surrounded Duke Wei's mansion and asked:
"What does the imperial court mean now? How do you plan to deal with the people in Duke Wei's mansion?"
The captain took a sneak peek at Chu Mo and found that the other person's face was cold. Anyone who wasn't blind could tell that the other person was in a bad mood.
After sighing secretly, he did not dare to hide anything:
"We received news this morning that a group of people from Duke Wei's mansion will be imprisoned first."
"But just when we were about to take action, someone in the palace sent a message, saying that the Duke Wei's mansion should be controlled first, and then we would deal with it after we find Duke Wei."
"Then who else is in the mansion now? Has anyone been imprisoned?"
Chu Mo stared at the captain and asked again.
The captain looked around, then said cautiously:
"The two young masters of Duke Wei's residence were already imprisoned during the morning court this morning. Now only Mrs. Wei is left in the residence. Their third lady and a group of cronies had already been arrested before we arrived. Ran away."
Hearing that Li Zhenying had escaped, Chu Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to continue asking, a group of soldiers with helmets and armor suddenly came from a distance.
Chu Mo took a closer look and found that the person leading the team was none other than Li Daozong, whom he had met several times.
Thinking of the several meetings he had with Li Daozong, none of which were very pleasant, and the other person was still a relative of the Huangshi Sect, Chu Mo narrowed his eyes and looked straight at the other person walking towards him.
After Li Daozong failed in the war against Chu Xin, he was transferred back to Chang'an by Li Shimin.
Although he has often been entrusted with important tasks and held important positions in various places in recent years, he has not made much achievements.
During these days, due to the tense situation in the surrounding areas and the great Zhou Dynasty, Li Shimin transferred him back to temporarily help him manage the Forbidden Army in order to prepare for the possible war in advance.
Last night, when he got the news that because Li Jing fled without a fight, the city of Hangzhou was attacked by a group of pirates, he jumped up from his chair with joy.
In the original battle of Luoyang City, he believed that his strategy and bravery were not inferior to others, but what made him defeated was Li Jing's disobedience of orders, which caused the court to temporarily change the commander. This caused the morale of the army to become chaotic and led to the failure of the Northern Expedition.
Therefore, over the years, every time he thought of the battle in Luoyang City, his hatred for Li Jing would intensify.
If it weren't for Li Jing, an old man, how could he be defeated, and how could Li Xiaogong die in battle?How could His Majesty the Emperor treat him so coldly?
Seeing that his former subordinates and colleagues had all become giants, taking charge of military and political power, but he could only live in Chang'an City, being ordered around by His Majesty the Emperor every day, the hatred in Li Daozong's heart became even stronger.
Now, after finally waiting until Li Jing made a mistake and the court wanted to punish him, how could he miss this golden opportunity?
He and everyone in the court, even Li Shimin, knew that there was no way Li Jing would flee without a fight.
But so what?Do facts matter?
Now everyone just wants to see Li Jing suffer misfortune.
He, Li Jing, was in charge of Jiangnan East Road and caused the fall of Hangzhou. This alone was enough to punish him.
Over the years, everyone in the court was not jealous of Li Jing's outstanding achievements in destroying Tubo and resisting the Zhou Dynasty?
What's more, he openly resisted the decree and refused His Majesty's marriage.
Although His Majesty didn't say anything on the surface, secretly, he hated him so much that his teeth itched.
Moving the Duke Wei's palace to Pingkangfang is the best proof.
Now, the other party has been caught. How could there be such a good opportunity without someone who would add insult to injury?
If it weren't for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other Conglong ministers who fought hard to protect it, the Weiguo Duke's Mansion might have ceased to exist long ago.
Originally, Li Daozong asked Li Shimin for the good job of inspecting Duke Wei's mansion, and he also wanted to send their whole family to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
But I never expected that the matter would be stopped just as it was halfway done. It didn’t take much to think about it, but someone in the court must have spoken for Li Jing.
In fact, he had already seen Chu Mo and his party coming.
I originally thought that my men could handle it, so I didn't step forward.
But he didn't expect that his men were so useless that they were so frightened by a foreigner that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
This made him a little bit intolerable.
So, he led a group of people and walked straight over, wanting to see who the other party was.
As soon as Li Daozong approached, Yang Ying, who had been hiding in the crowd, immediately jumped out and stood directly behind Chu Mo.
Seeing that an old man suddenly appeared next to Chu Mo, the two grandmasters Ma Ming and Zhou Qing who were following Li Daozong instantly shrank their pupils.
The old guy opposite is also a grandmaster, and a master whose strength far exceeds the two of them.
After the two looked at each other, they slowed down without leaving a trace and stopped following Li Daozong.
Li Daozong, who didn't know that he had been abandoned, came to Chu Mo, looked directly at him, and angrily said:
"Who are you? You are so courageous that you dare to threaten me, the captain of the Royal Guards. Do you know your guilt?"
Facing Li Daozong's question, Chu Mo glanced sideways at him, then plucked his ears disdainfully and cursed:
"Li Daozong, you old dog, how dare you bark in front of me? Do you believe I will knock out all your teeth?"
Li Daozong didn't expect that this barbarian would dare to be so arrogant even though he knew his identity, and he immediately lost his composure.
After thinking about it in his mind and confirming that he had never seen this guy before, and that there was no such person among the noble families in the city, he gritted his teeth and said:
"You're just a barbarian, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me, boy, if nothing else, you are very courageous."
After saying that, he was ready to give an order to have Chu Mo taken down.
When the captain who was kneeling on the ground saw this, he quickly got up from the ground without caring about being rude, ran to Li Daozong and saluted:
"Sir, you must not do it. He...he is from the Yang family."
"Yang family? What Yang family? The Yang family of the previous dynasty?"
When Li Daozong saw the captain pleading for mercy for the other party in such a panic, he was immediately furious.
"No, sir, it's... the Yang family on Zhuque Street."
At this time, the school captain didn't care whether he had collided with Li Daozong or not, and hurriedly explained.
"The Yang family on Zhuque Street? What..."
Before he could say the word "西", Li Daozong's eyes widened as if he had seen a zombie crawling out of a coffin. Then he hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at Chu Mo in disbelief.
