General is a Villain

The mountain breeze rustled, rustling the recently repaired windows and doors. The windows had previously been broken, but now, even though they had been repaired, they were still emitting creaking sounds. It sounded a bit terrifying.

Under the window, two figures were leaning against the wall sneakily. Hearing the sound of Yi Xiaoqiao sleeping soundly, they gave each other a look and quickly went down the mountain.

"Zhang Wu, if the chief knew that we were doing this, he would probably be angry." With a bit of worry, Chen Congzhou followed Zhang XV down the stairs while lowering his voice to remind Zhang Ye.

"The chief will not be angry. Don't forget, we have a grudge with Mu Yi An!" Zhang Fifteen gritted his teeth, wishing that he could shatter them. "Without him, how could we have fallen and become bandits? This was all thanks to him!"

"He is also responsible …"

"Cut the crap. Just tell me if you want to go or not. If not, then I'll go by myself!"

Chen Xianxue didn't really want to go, but when he thought about Zhang Wu's impulsive personality, and was afraid that something might happen to him, he could only nod and say, "Let's go."

The city gates had already been closed, and Yu City seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. They couldn't hear any sounds coming from inside, so the two of them used Flying Tiger Claw to skillfully climb up the city walls, evading the guards and carefully enter the city, heading straight for the Mu residence.

He dreamt that he and Muyi had been punished by the emperor for disobeying the imperial decree. Muyi had been pardoned for his meritorious service as a general, but he himself had been beheaded. Blood splashed all over the place, and his head rolled all over the ground, still rolling about.

She woke up with a start.

When she woke up, it was already dawn. The wind from the morning was rustling the trees in front of the window. It looked like she was about to rush over and chop off her head.

Yi Xiaoqiao felt chills all over her body and felt a cold chill down her neck. She was unable to fall asleep, so she could only get up and run in circles around the mountain stronghold.

He rubbed his cold neck as he arrived at the Ju Yi Hall and saw that it was already filled with people. It was unknown what everyone was doing in front of the table.

There was only the faint sound of their discussion, something like a jade Buddha.

Yi Xiaoqiao walked over. "What are you looking at? Don't you need to train? "

Although these people were bandits, they would practice all sorts of techniques, such as boxing, short weapons, and long weapons.

"Ah, the Second Leader has come." Zhang Wu raised his voice and shouted with a smile that was not a smile: "Why are you still surrounding me? Have you guys seen anything? Can't you see that the Second Leader is coming over? Get out of the way!"

The crowd opened up a path.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked over and saw a statue of Buddha on top of the newly added Eight Immortals table. Its facial features were soft, the heavens were merciful, and the benevolent Buddha was sitting on the lotus throne, looking down at everyone with half-squinting eyes.

The entire statue was carved from a piece of white jade without a single blemish or stain. When the sunlight shone in and shone on the statue, it emitted a gentle glow. For a moment, Yi Xiaoqiao felt as if the Buddha truly descended from the heavens.

Yi Xiaoqiao stared fixedly at the Buddha statue from head to toe, to the lotus flower, to every detail. Her heart was beating rapidly, and even though her lips were pursed into a curve, she was unable to say anything.

She didn't know what to say.

"What is it? The Second Leader was dumbfounded? Have you never seen such a good Buddha statue? " Zhang Wu asked with a smile.

How could she not have seen it? Of course she had, but she wished she had never seen it.

"Where did this jade Buddha come from?" Yi Xiaoqiao heard his own voice and felt that it was a bit ethereal.

"Where else? Of course he took it from Mu Yi'an!" "Second Boss was probably deceived by his righteous appearance. What good person, asking for the lives of the people, he is simply a big liar, his family doesn't look too good on the outside, but the mansion has such a good Buddha statue, I've already found someone to look at it, and it's just that the Buddha is worth thousands of gold!"

The more Zhang Wu said it, the more he felt that he was right. Muyi was just a sheep, a big liar, a greedy official who specially plundered people's cream, a big treacherous official!

"Second Boss, it's not that I say I don't like you, but it's just that your women's eyes are bad and are always bewitched by the appearance of others." Zhang Fifteen laughed mockingly. "I think you should still keep this seat …"

"Send the things back." Yi Xiaoqiao interrupted him.

"What?" Zhang XV immediately felt his hair stand on end. "Why did you send it back? We painstakingly retrieved it!"

Cui Chen, who hadn't said anything all this time, also smiled and said, "Since you've already brought it back, there's no need to return it. Anyway, with the Emperor bestowing so much, there's an 80% chance that Mu Yi'an doesn't care about this Buddha statue."

"Cui Huang, why did you say that? What are your principles?" Yi Xiaoqiao could not believe it. The Cui Chen in the book was a very principled person, so she would definitely not say such a thing.

"My principles do not include generals." Cui Shiming looked away guiltily, not daring to look at Yi Xiaoqiao.

"True, your principles do not include Muyi. Do you have a personal grudge?"

"Little Qiao, don't be so angry. In my opinion, Muyi might not even know that we took his things."

Don't know? How could he not know that after so many years of fighting, Mu Yi An's foresight was like that of a god. He was extremely powerful!

A fire burned in Yi Xiaoqiao's heart. "Let me ask you, when you went to steal something yesterday, did anyone see it?"

Everyone in Mu Yi'an's mansion was an expert, and even Peaches had some skills. It wasn't an ordinary place.

"How is that possible, just the people from their manor …" Zhang Wu's face was filled with disdain.

"Don't worry, there's no one in the Mu Manor. It's said that they're searching for someone. There aren't even any guards in the manor during this period of time." Chen Congzhou added.

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. There was no need to ask. The person she was looking for was definitely her. Yi Xiaoqiao was conflicted. She could be considered an accomplice of Chen Congzhou and the others.

"No one really noticed?"

"Mm …" It seems like an old woman saw us, but don't worry, that old woman didn't see us. Zhang Wu was arrogant.

Old woman?

Wasn't that Mu Yi'an's mother?

Yi Xiaoqiao's head buzzed as he stared at them in disbelief. "You were seen by this old woman?"

"She didn't see anything. The moment she saw us, she fainted."

Yi Xiaoqiao also wanted to faint. Old Madam Mu was someone that Mu Yi'an respected the most, and had scared her unconscious. How could Mu Yi'an let them off so easily? What's more, they even stole Old Madam Mu's favorite Buddha statue. If Mu Yi An knew that they were the ones who did it, he would definitely chop them apart one by one!

Yi Xiaoqiao turned around and left. "I'll be leaving first."

"Hey, Second Leader, where are you going?"

"To escape, of course!"

"You're not so timid, are you? A Buddha statue scared you to this extent?" Zhang Wu teased and laughed, and shouted loudly, "Women are women, without the slightest bit of courage, they are even too timid!"

"I'm leaving because I'm afraid of Muyi, but more importantly, you guys have changed. You guys are no longer the rich, poor, loyal, and loyal people I thought you were. Now, not only are you robbing, you steal things, and after stealing, you even speak out righteously. Do you guys understand that I don't know Muyi?"

"Of course we understand! If not for him, we would not have been able to live our lives and run all the way here to be bandits! "

She knew that the people of Green Cloud Stronghold had enmity with Mu Yi An and would not rest until they were dead, but she did not know the specific meaning of this enmity. Seeing that they were all filled with righteous indignation, each of them had a crazy look on their faces.

"Halt!" Zhang XV stepped forward and stood in front of Yi Xiaoqiao, "You woman, you've always been speaking kindly about Muyi, are you his accomplice? What are you doing here? "

Cui Chen frowned and shouted, "Fifteen!"

"Patriarch, don't talk about it. It was Qin Lang who said that she was a good husband, and we agreed to let her enter the village without investigating. But now, I want to doubt her intentions. A woman who is willing to join our bandits, don't be a beauty."

Yi Xiaoqiao sneered coldly, "Since you don't believe me, why don't you let me go down the mountain?"

"Beautiful, let the tiger return to the mountain, aren't we digging our own graves!" "Speak, who are you? Why have you come here? What is your purpose? What is your relationship with Muyi?"

The Greencloud Stronghold that Yi Xiaoqiao remembered was a place where righteousness was boundless, where the rich plundered the poor. Although they were bandits, they were not unforgivable. She even quite liked these bandits.

But who would have thought that one day, their blades would land on their necks.

Only now did Yi Xiaoqiao understand how impulsive her decision from the beginning had been.

"My name is Yi Xiaoqiao, I don't have much to do with Muyi."

"Bullshit!" Zhang Wu tightened his grip on his broadsword and almost hacked at her out of anger. "It doesn't matter, speak up for him!"

"I'm speaking up for you guys. Who is Mu Yi An, General Ironblood, the person who died in his hands is worth ten of you in the Greencloud Stronghold!" You guys go steal his things and scare his mother. Can he let you go? " Yi Xiaoqiao did not understand. This group of people seemed rather normal, yet they liked to bang their heads against the gun and seek their own deaths.

"He won't let me go, and I won't let him go either. We'll be like rats crossing the street and hide everywhere, and he'll be a general, and marry a beautiful lady, and have a hot wife and children. What about us, which one of us isn't someone who has shed blood for the country, but what about our wives and children? Let me tell you, today, I went to steal something from the Emperor that he received from him. The thing that the Emperor gave him is called a gift from the Emperor, and if it was lost, you have to kill it. Even if it brought down nine clans, I still want to let him have a taste of the pain of losing his loved ones. "

Zhang Fifteen crazily roared.

At this moment, a person ran up from the foot of the mountain. "Not good, Stronghold Chief. Not good."

"What's the matter now?" Zhang Fifteen roared.

"The scouts just reported that the Mu Family lost something. Mu Yi'an was furious and is heading towards the barracks. They want to flatten us!"
