Mu Yun'an had a flash of inspiration and looked up at Yang Shijie: "How dare you train in private?"
Yang Shijie is just a small county magistrate, and it is impossible to mobilize an army of a hundred people. But now that he is leading troops to besiege, there is only one possibility, that is, he is secretly training troops in Xingping County.
And this was exactly the reason why Yang Shijie wanted to kill her.
Yang Shijie shrugged and said with a smile: "So what? Does the county chief think you still have the life to go back and complain?"
He didn't want to become an enemy of Mu Yun'an, but instead of telling his nephew that she was meddling in his own business, she threatened to tell His Majesty and ask him to send a censor to investigate him.
There are many high mountains in Xingping County, which is a good place to raise soldiers. Over the years, he has made some achievements and trained a group of thousands of elite soldiers.
But once Mu Yun'an reveals Chen Zhiyong's matter to the emperor, the emperor will definitely investigate him as the county magistrate. Even if there are people above him, he may not be able to suppress the matter.
Rather than being passive, it is better to take the initiative and let Mu Yun'an go without any return.
So after learning about Mu Yun'an's whereabouts, he sent people to poison him, but unexpectedly they failed. When he heard that Mu Yun'an was going back to Beijing that night, he sent a killer to intercept him on the way, but it still failed.
Fortunately, he also prepared the last way, which was to send her on her way in person.
He is not afraid that his military training will be leaked, because in his eyes, Mu Yun'an and his group are just dead people, and he doesn't believe they can escape this time!
Mu Yun'an finally understood now. No wonder Magistrate Yang wanted to kill her. It turned out to be because he was afraid that others would find out about his military training.
He brought his private soldiers to kill her today, and he must be absolutely sure that she will be killed.
Also, with hundreds of elite soldiers, how can they resist? I'm afraid they won't be able to escape today.
Mu Yun'an took a deep breath and squeezed Xiao Chengyi's hand: "Brother Yi, maybe this time we will be desperate mandarin ducks. Do you think we will have another life?"
Xiao Chengyi scolded her with some displeasure: "What nonsense are you talking about? We won't die!" After a pause, he then said: "You first stabilize this person named Yang."
Mu Yun'an's eyes lit up, and hope suddenly ignited in her heart. Brother Yi said that they wouldn't die, so they definitely wouldn't die!
She braced herself and looked at Yang Shijie: "It seems that I can't escape today, but I'm curious, who are you working for? You are just a ninth-grade county magistrate, you can't possibly want to rebel on your own, right?"
Yang Shijie chuckled lightly, his eyes falling on Mu Yun'an: "Why don't you take a guess, County Lord?"
Mu Yun'an touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Could it be the prince?"
Yang Shijie's eyes flashed and he said nothing, but Mu Yun'an had already confirmed his guess: "He is really the prince, but aren't you afraid of killing me because you can't explain to the prince? After all, His Highness the prince values my father very much."
"Ha~"
Yang Shijie sneered with some disdain: "Do you really think that His Royal Highness must belong to your Mu family?"
Mu Yun'an shrugged: "I don't know whether His Highness the Crown Prince belongs to my Mu family, but I know that you have violated a big taboo by acting privately. I am the head of Huihe County, your Majesty's personal title. I will die in your Xingping
Within the county, you, the county magistrate, have unshirkable responsibilities.
And my father, he will find out the cause of my death and find you out, but I don’t know if your Royal Highness will protect you once the matter is revealed?"
Yang Shijie's expression changed slightly, as if he was shocked by her words, but he was only shaken for a moment, and he returned to his original state: "The county master must not know that His Highness the Crown Prince is kind to me, so I died for him.
