Mu Jingrui looked outside, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
He kept holding Shangguan Wan Ning's hand and turned his eyes to Chang Qingqing.
"From the first time you appeared in front of me, I woke up in bed the next day."
Mu Jingrui felt Shangguan Wan Ning's breathing become heavier, and increased the strength of his palms to comfort her.
"I sent someone to investigate General Chang's family background. Indeed, after his death, his family property was occupied by his clan members, and his wife and children had to go back to their hometown in despair. Mrs. Chang had no choice but to sell her daughter to make ends meet."
"But you hid yourself very well. According to the spies, General Chang's daughter knows martial arts, but you... what you showed in front of me is that you don't know any martial arts at all. I sent people to chase her.
Mrs. Chang, found that they are all dead."
"I think some people were afraid that they would reveal some secrets, so they killed them to silence them."
Chang Qingqing didn't expect that Mu Jingrui looked cold and unruly, but his thoughts were so delicate.
"Since you have already doubted me, why do you still keep me with you?"
"Because... I not only want to regain lost ground, I also want to avoid future troubles forever."
Shangguan Wan Ning raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingrui. Well, this is in line with his behavior.
"Never have future troubles?" Chang Qingqing laughed, "Mu Jingrui, you underestimate us barbarians too much. Even if you kill me, it will be useless. Our noble Holy Son will still have ways to deal with you."
"What you call a method is nothing more than using witchcraft to control people's minds."
A calm voice sounded, and another person walked in from outside the military tent.
"Brother Yao?" Shangguan Wan Ning was shocked. She shook off Mu Jingrui's hand and went forward, "Are you okay? Your injury..."
Mu Jingrui was a little depressed, his face darkened, but he still tolerated his dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
"It's okay." Sun Jinyao smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting and tenderness.
He walked up to Chang Qingqing and looked at her condescendingly. "Do you know that there is a saying among us, which is to treat others with their own medicine."
Chang Qingqing was startled, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Sun Jinyao walked up to the clothes spread out and said coldly: "You have already set up the formation. If my guess is correct, your Holy Son is also casting spells at this time, cooperating with you inside and outside to control Mu Jingrui, I say
Yes, right?"
Chang Qingqing snorted heavily and turned her head to the side.
Sun Jinyao continued: "Now, if I do the opposite, the one who will be controlled will be your Holy Son."
Chang Qingqing laughed contemptuously. "That's ridiculous. Who do you think you are? I will believe you after just a few words for no reason? You can give it a try."
Sun Jinyao took out a book from his arms and threw it in front of Chang Qingqing.
In an instant, Chang Qingqing's expression changed drastically.
"Impossible, how do you...how do you have this book?" Chang Qingqing stood up and wanted to rush over and kill Sun Jinyao.
Sun Jinyao just dodged sideways and grabbed her pulse.
At this time, a yellow light appeared on the mirror, and there seemed to be a shadow shaking vaguely.
Sun Jinyao looked down and said: "The time is just right. Now I just need to find a holy girl's blood to drip on the mirror, and your holy son... will be dead."
"No... don't..." Chang Qingqing struggled to escape, but was caught tightly by Sun Jinyao.
Sun Jinyao looked at Mu Jingrui. "Why don't you do it?"
Now, the only person who meets the conditions is Shangguan Wan Ning.
But Mu Jingrui couldn't bear to let Shangguan Wanning bleed.
"Can't you use my blood?"
"In the witchcraft of the barbarians, there is a huge gap between yin and yang. With your blood, you will be controlled by them. With Ning'er's blood, you can control them."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan Ning picked up the dagger on the ground, gritted her teeth and cut her wrist.
"Ning'er..."
Mu Jingrui was too late to stop her, and watched helplessly as her blood dripped on the mirror.
Suddenly, the mirror emitted a dazzling light, causing the four people present to close their eyes involuntarily.
In a daze, I even heard a blood-curdling scream.
This light disappeared immediately, and calm returned to the military tent.
It took a long time for Mu Jingrui and the other three to come back to their senses.
Chang Qingqing collapsed and fell to the ground, lost in thought and trembling all over.
"We...succeeded?" Shangguan Wanning was simply baffled.
Sun Jinyao was not sure. After all, he had only read about it in books, and this was the first time he had actually practiced it.
"Also, you two...what's going on?" Shangguan Wanning didn't believe that Sun Jinyao's appearance was such a coincidence.
Mu Jingrui and Sun Jinyao looked at each other and smiled with relief.
It turned out that before Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning arrived, Mu Jingrui had already discovered that the barbarians were using witchcraft during their marches and battles.
He planned to use the trick to defeat the barbarians, ostensibly being induced by Chang Qingqing. In fact, he was buying time and sent people to infiltrate the barbarians to investigate the situation.
However, Mu Jingrui could never find a suitable person he could trust.
It happened that at this time, Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning came.
Mu Jingrui approached Sun Jinyao in private to discuss the matter, and the two hit it off immediately, and they co-acted a play to hide the truth. In fact, Mu Jingrui sent his close confidants to Sun Jinyao and asked him to lead people to infiltrate the barbarian tribe.
The two have been exchanging news for a long time.
Mu Jingrui continued to fake defeat, drew out the main force of the barbarians, and then launched a counterattack, trapping them all in the valley, forcing the barbarian saints to use witchcraft, and took this opportunity to completely defeat them.
"I see." Shangguan Wan Ning let out a long sigh of relief and punched Mu Jingrui hard on the chest with her fist. "You scared me to death. I thought you were really attracted by her beauty.
Confused."
"Am I that kind of person?" Mu Jingrui asked.
Shangguan Wan Ning crossed her arms in front of her chest, looked at Mu Jingrui up and down, and smiled half-heartedly. "That's impossible to say. In the dead of night, when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, who knows what will happen?"
"Don't worry about this, there's nothing wrong with them." Sun Jinyao said calmly.
"You are a man, you must help men." Shangguan Wan Ning was unconvinced.
Sun Jinyao did not argue, walked to Chang Qingqing and grabbed her arm.
"look."
Only then did Shangguan Wan Ning realize that the gongshu sand on Chang Qingqing's fair arms was particularly eye-catching.
"As far as I know, the witchcraft of the barbarian tribe has extremely strict requirements for women. They must keep their bodies as pure as jade, otherwise they will not be able to cooperate with the Holy Son. They have a high status in the tribe, and they must never marry for life."
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. She looked at Mu Jingrui again.
