Mu Jingrui stood up, and the man suddenly felt that his aura had been greatly reduced.
"When the messenger came to deliver the message, you secretly left a letter to me, hoping to cooperate with me. I would like to hear how you want to cooperate?"
When the envoys were arguing with the left and right vanguards, Mu Jingrui noticed that one of the envoys had flashing eyes and acted strangely.
However, when Mu Jingrui made eye contact with him, he was unhurried and not afraid of attracting attention at all.
He even pressed a note under the tablecloth next to him under Mu Jingrui's gaze.
It wasn't until they left and Mu Jingrui opened the note and read the contents that he realized that Goshawk and Wu Xiong appeared to be in alliance, but in fact they were at odds with each other.
Wu Xiong was dissatisfied with Goshawk's tyranny and domineering attitude, and was even more unwilling to be Goshawk's little brother.
They desperately want to change the status quo.
"General Mu, we can secretly help you save your life and help you rescue the trapped people. However, you have to send troops to annihilate Goshawk in one fell swoop. But at the same time, you must ensure that the Central Plains court will not be permanent. Goshawk's land will return to
All of us."
Mu Jingrui had already guessed their purpose.
In fact, the ruler of Wuxiong is much smarter than the ruler of Goshawk.
They didn't take the lead, seemingly because they were afraid of Goshawk's power, but in fact they most likely wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill others.
"Why should I trust you?"
"General Mu, do you still have a choice now? No matter whether your Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees to Ji Kuo's request or not, you are dead."
Mu Jingrui did not deny that this was the current situation.
"It's not impossible for me to cooperate with you, but you must listen to me on how to act."
This request made by Mu Jingrui made the man very angry.
"Listen to you? Can you do that? You are just a prisoner. I am also Wuxiong's General Pingxi..."
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Mu Jingrui walked aside, leaned against the pillar, and looked out the window.
General Pingxi Yunqiao was even more annoyed. He was about to step forward to teach Mu Jingrui a lesson when he saw the maid beside him retreating and her clenched fists gradually loosened.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I want to see how you can turn things around." After saying that, he walked away.
The surroundings became quiet again, and every detail of the scene just now flashed through Mu Jingrui's mind.
About half an hour later, the maid came back with a bamboo basket in her hand.
She took out a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes, and said softly: "General Yun asked the slave to bring you wine and food. This is a sign of our sincerity in cooperating with you."
Mu Jingrui stood still and did not move.
The maid poured a glass of wine and walked over to Mu Jingrui and handed it over.
Mu Jingrui looked down and slowly raised his hand to pick it up, but instead grabbed the maid's pulse gate.
The maid was startled and subconsciously dodged back.
The two of them exchanged simple moves.
"Unexpectedly, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Wuxiong Country, and a little maid is actually hidden deep inside."
After being exposed by Mu Jingrui, the maid felt unnatural for a moment, but then she regained her composure.
"General Mu has a good eye, but..."
Before the maid could finish her words, Mu Jingrui swayed and grabbed her right arm.
This time, the maid failed to escape.
With a "hiss" sound, the maid's sleeves were completely torn off by Mu Jingrui, exposing her fair arms.
Near the shoulder, there is a lifelike wolf head tattooed on it.
"As far as I know, in Wuxiong, only the royal family and princes and princesses with pure and noble blood are eligible to be tattooed with wolf head tattoos."
When the maid saw this, she felt that there was no need to pretend anymore.
She smiled brightly and generously offered her hand to Mu Jingrui. "Yes, I am the direct daughter of Queen Wu Xiong, Princess Xianyue."
Sure enough.
"General Mu is extremely smart and observant. It seems... I did not choose the wrong partner."
"Of course you didn't choose wrong, but I hope... I didn't choose wrong either."
Mu Jingrui said expressionlessly: "My subordinates will definitely agree to Ji Kuo's request for the sake of my safety. However, currently the customs cannot provide so much food. I guess they will send some of it to appease them first."
Jikuo."
"What you need to do is to let the people delivering food enter the city smoothly. And secretly inform them that I am still alive."
"Then what?" Xianyue asked nervously.
"Then no."
Mu Jingrui had no intention of continuing. His arrogant attitude made Xianyue a little dissatisfied, but he seemed helpless.
Xianyue took a deep breath and slowly walked to Mu Jingrui with a smile.
She stretched out her long and slender arms and put them on Mu Jingrui's shoulders.
Mu Jingrui was startled slightly, and his body became a little stiff.
His reaction made Xian Yue find it very interesting.
The crescent moon approached Mu Jingrui and exhaled like a blue breath. "Is General Mu getting married?"
Mu Jingrui subconsciously leaned back.
Xian Yue put her arm on Mu Jingrui's back, and stretched out her fingers with her other hand to poke his chest.
"I guess... there must be none. From now on, if you want to see my wolf head tattoo, just say it. There is no need to be so rude. If you do this... no girl will like you."
Mu Jingrui was not afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy, but facing Xian Yue's provocation, he was at a loss.
"General Mu, actually..."
"roll."
Mu Jingrui uttered one word coldly.
Xian Yue was stunned for a moment, let go of Mu Jingrui, took a few steps back, and raised the corners of her mouth with an evil smile.
She didn't say anything more and just walked out.
Mu Jingrui's body felt a little hot, which reminded him of Shangguan Wan Ning.
The news that he went deep into the enemy's camp must have spread back to the pass. If she was still in the city and had not returned to the capital, she must have known about it at this time.
Then...will she be worried?
Shangguan Wan Ning chased Mu Jingyan all the way, but she didn't see any trace of him at all. She asked several people along the way and they all said they had never seen him.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she originally planned to go back to talk, but found that she was lost.
Shangguan Wan Ning wanted to cry but had no tears.
She looked at the endless snow fields around her and had no choice but to find someone to stay nearby.
She was quite lucky and walked into a village not long after dark. However, most of the people here had fled, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
Shangguan Wan Ning was walking alone in the empty and quiet village. The sky was getting darker and darker, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes hitting her face were sharper than steel knives.
She felt as if she was the only one left in the whole world. She had never experienced such a scene since she was a child.
Finally, Shangguan Wan Ning saw a faint light coming from a house in front of her.
This lifted her spirits.
She hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door.
The door opened in response, and a long sword stabbed towards her chest.
