Chapter 226 Why help the Moliang people?
When Ruan Qingqing found Ruan Shiping and others, they were fighting with a group of people. Among them, a burly man with a small silver ring on his left nostril was fleeing in a panic.
"Sister, catch him! He is the boss here!"
Ruan Shipingyuan who chased after it thought that the big fish would escape, but unexpectedly he saw his eldest sister.
Ruan Qingqing, Wushang and Chase attacked at the same time and subdued the man.
"Third Prince!" The other people from Moliang screamed in horror upon seeing this.
During this gap, Ruan Shiping and his subordinates controlled the stunned people of Moliang one by one.
"Brother, listen to me. We have found a secret passage leading to the outside. You must take Dad and your subordinates out immediately and ask the court for help. We have Chase and the leader who are familiar with this place, so there will be no danger for the time being."
Ruan Qingqing whispered to Ruan Shiping.
"No! Sister, you guys should go out and we'll guard here!" Ruan Shiping disagreed.
"Who is easier for you or me to hire? Brother, now is not the time to act on impulse. We should do what is best for the current situation."
"Okay! Then you guys be careful!" Ruan Shiping no longer refused and took his subordinates to escape from the secret passage pointed out by Ruan Qingqing.
"Don't think you can threaten our people of Moliang by capturing me!" The third prince of Moliang looked at Ruan Qingqing with a vicious face.
"Third Prince, just use whatever tricks you have!" Ruan Qingqing said in a light tone.
"you!"
Ruan Qingqing didn't bother to pay attention to the rough-looking prince and went straight to Lu Dunren.
"Lü Yishou, can you remove the chains on General Zhang?"
Lu Dunren shook his head. "The chain on him is of better quality than the one on your father. It is a whole piece without any holes. We can only find a way to remove the chain on the lock, but there is a mechanism on the lock, and we can't alert the enemy at this time..."
"It is indeed not advisable for us to alert the enemy at this time." Zhuge Hong also agreed.
"Well, we won't alert the enemy. But what if there is a key? Will it trigger the switch?" Ruan Qingqing asked.
"As long as the key is correct, it shouldn't."
Ruan Qingqing nodded, then stretched out her hand to Prince Moliang and said in a slightly cold tone, "Prince Moliang, hand over the key!"
"Don't even think about it!" The third prince of Moliang spat at her.
"Damn it, I hate people who don't follow martial ethics the most!"
Ruan Qingqing was so angry that she cursed and punched him.
"We'll take care of the beatings, you just take a rest!"
Wushang pushed her aside, raised his fist that was as hard as a rock, and punched the third prince of Moliang three times.
"You are abusing the prisoners..." Before the third prince of Moliang could finish his accusation, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Lu Dunren kicked him a few times with disdain, "You look tall and strong, why are you so weak?"
"Okay! Let's all save our energy." Ruan Qingqing shook her hands in disgust.
Zhuge Hong licked the mouth of his wine gourd and said, "It will take at least three or four days for General Ruan to go out and get reinforcements. Let's all think about how to deal with these three or four days!"
"First, teach those under control the Moliang people a lesson, teach them how to behave, and make them confess some information. Beat them if they don't confess, and if they behave themselves, something will come out of their mouths." Chase paused and said, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Let me ask you timidly, do you secret guards like to use this method?" Yue Linlang asked with a fearful look on her face, half raising her hand.
"Look at the people!"
"To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Just do as Chase said! We will detain the other people separately and interrogate them separately to prevent them from colluding with each other and giving us misleading information."
Ruan Qingqing made the final decision immediately.
They acted very quickly, first detaining everyone separately and then violently interrogating them one by one.
In less than a day, Ruan Qingqing pieced together the details of Xiliang Pass from the information she had collected.
After the defeat of Moliang, when sending compensation, they made a request to Xiliang Pass: they wanted to personally deliver the compensation to the capital.
The court agreed in order to show its magnanimity and contempt.
However, the Moliang people who did not want to offer apology immediately joined forces with the Moliang people outside the pass to control Yunqing and all the soldiers at Xiliang Pass when they returned through Xiliang Pass.
Afterwards, they brazenly transported people from the Xiliang Pass border to Yunqing in an attempt to slowly erode the Yunqing Kingdom.
Because of the disasters in Moliang over the years, a large number of people in the territory starved to death. At this time, they happened to hear that there was a powerful person in Yunqing who was comparable to the reincarnation of the God of Grains, and the per-acre yield of grain was several times that of other places. So they set their sights on that powerful person. So batches of Moliang warriors were sent to Qingshui County, Lulin Prefecture.
Later, the spies of Nei Moliang in Qingshui County were completely eliminated. Seeing that they could not do anything in Qingshui County, they set their sights on Ruan Wantie who was wandering in Jiangxia, Jianghuai and Lulin. They thought they could threaten Ruan Qingqing, but a month later, there was no news from Ruan Qingqing. Later, they had no choice but to use Ruan Wantie to negotiate with the court to exchange more food for them.
So when they heard that Ruan Wantie had been rescued, they continued to provide manpower support to Jialing Prefecture.
"Don't say these people from Moliang are quite cunning!" Lu Dunren rubbed his chin and sighed.
"It seems that they will not let us go easily." Yue Linlang looked at Ruan Qingqing and said desperately, "Master, why don't you go to Moliang to teach them how to farm. Anyway, they want you to help them turn the tide, not your life. Besides, our Yunqing emperor is not particularly good to you, maybe he is still afraid of you!"
"How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chase was the first to attack.
Before anyone could react, his right hand had already fiercely grabbed Yue Linlang's neck.
"Chase, put Yue Linlang down!" Ruan Qingqing was furious when she saw that the color on Yue Linlang's face, which had originally recovered a little, had turned back to purple again.
"Miss Ruan, if you dare to rebel, I will first kill the subordinate who instigated you!" Chase warned with a ferocious face.
"Who said I wanted to betray you? Let Yue Linlang go!" Ruan Qingqing walked towards Chase with a serious look in her eyes.
"Okay! I'll believe you this time!" Chase loosened his hand upon seeing this.
Ruan Qingqing walked forward and pushed Chase away, "Yue Linlang, are you okay?"
"Cough cough, master, Chase is too scary!" Yue Linlang covered her neck lightly with both hands and did not forget to complain even while coughing heart-wrenchingly.
"As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth. What are some things that can be joked about and some things that cannot be joked about? You should be more careful in the future! Remember this next time?"
Yue Linlang looked at Ruan Qingqing's gaze and lowered her head quickly, "Master, I was wrong!"
Ruan Qingqing then raised her head and looked at Chase, saying word by word, "First of all, I am from Yunqing. My relatives and friends are all in Yunqing. Why should I help the people of Moliang increase their food production? So that they can eat their fill and become ambitious enough to kill my relatives and friends? So that they can enslave and humiliate us Yunqing people?"
