Chapter 5454: Raising troops to investigate crimes
"It seems that Senior Lu Ji has just settled down and will soon join the battle again."
Zhang Yifeng looked at Wan Renxue's furious look and couldn't help turning his head and said to Lu Ji.
"It doesn't matter, the traitor with such arrogant ambition and betrayal of the country should be executed!"
Lu Ji said in a deep voice, with a murderous intent flashing through his eyes.
What he hated most in his life was such traitors who betrayed the country's interests for their own selfish desires.
Especially for someone who betrays his master and plots rebellion just for the sake of his own power. Even if Lu Ji kills him eight hundred times, it won't be enough!
"It seems that I was too soft-hearted at the beginning and let such a shameless person go!"
Lu Ji shouted coldly and couldn't help but think of what happened back then.
"Oh? Could it be that there was something hidden in the battle between Senior Lu Ji and Bai Mu?"
Zhang Yifeng was suspicious. He naturally knew that Bai Mu had fought against the fledgling Lu Ji.
Lu Ji also became famous after this battle, and there is indeed some connection between the two.
However, Zhang Yifeng only heard about the outcome of the battle between Lu Ji and Bai Mu, but did not know the process.
But judging from Lu Ji's expression now, there might be something hidden in that battle.
"Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. When I was just starting out, I met Bai Mu, the new elder of the Snow Clan, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited."
"So from the beginning, I planned to use my full strength to show respect for him."
"Unexpectedly, this Bai Mu is just a silver pewter spearhead. He is completely invincible to my repeated attacks."
"In the end, I was lured into a canyon by him. I thought this guy was going to fight me."
"Unexpectedly, when he saw no one around, he knelt down and begged me for mercy, asking me to spare his life."
"My character at that time was not as good as it is now. Seeing him begging for mercy so far, I couldn't help but feel compassion."
Lu Ji shook his head and told the truth about the original battle.
"What?"
Zhang Yifeng's pupils condensed and he looked at Lu Ji in disbelief.
Not only him, but Wan Renxue and Qin Wu who were in the hospital bed couldn't help but exclaimed after learning the truth.
After all, Bai Mu often showed off his battle with Lu Ji in the snow country, and often swore by the scar on his chest that he would kill Lu Ji sooner or later.
"Then, what about the so-called fatal injury on Bai Mu's chest?"
After Qin Wu thought for a long time, he asked in a deep voice.
"Fatal injury? I don't know about this. At first, I just beat him up, and this guy couldn't hold on anymore."
Lu Ji frowned when he heard this. He had a clear memory of his battle to become famous.
After all, the battle was originally fought with all-out effort, but ended up with that result.
He even became famous because of it, which made Lu Ji feel even more aggrieved.
Because of this, he remembered this painful memory very clearly.
"It seems that in order to cover up the fact that he surrendered without a fight, Bai Mu faked a fatal wound on his chest."
"And with his acting skills, he successfully made the elders and people of Snow Country mistakenly believe that his injuries were caused by a deadly battle."
After Zhang Yifeng listened to the entire content, he couldn't help but curl up a contemptuous smile and said softly.
He had already seen that Bai Mu didn't want to be underestimated by other people in the Snow Clan, so he deliberately faked the injuries on his body.
He even deliberately showed Lu Ji's anger over the injuries on his body.
However, Zhang Yifeng estimated that his anger was genuine. After all, Lu Ji was the only person who knew the truth about this past.
Moreover, Bai Mu was genuine and surrendered to Lu Ji on his knees.
This humiliating memory is bound to follow Bai Mu throughout his life.
"This guy is really shameless!"
Qin Wu gritted his teeth and shouted on the hospital bed, clenching his fists involuntarily.
"Before taking action, I think it is still necessary to express my apology to the Great Elder."
"I'm very sorry for hurting you so rashly before I understood the situation."
Lu Ji walked up to Qin Wu, bowed deeply to him, and said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I already knew that this time it would be a narrow escape."
"But even for this glimmer of hope, I am willing to give it a try."
"After all, the current result is the best result I can get by risking my life."
Qin Wu shook his head when he heard this and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Did the Great Elder know in advance that it would be dangerous to go to the border alone?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and heard the key information from Qin Wu's words.
"That's right, in fact, there are always hidden stakes planted by me around Bai Mu."
"His every move has never escaped my eyes."
Now that the situation has become clear, Qin Wu naturally has no need to pretend anything.
"Now, Bai Mu probably doesn't know what happened at the border. He is probably still in the castle, sitting in my seat, dreaming about the days after he becomes the king."
"This is when Bai Mu's defense is at its weakest. Mr. Zhang, you go ahead and deal with him."
Qin Wu pursed his lips, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Wan Renxue saw that something was wrong with the great elder's mood.
He immediately took a step forward, nodded to Zhang Yifeng and Lu Ji and said, "You two, please come with me."
After saying that, Wan Renxue led the two of them out of the room, leaving Qin Wu alone on the hospital bed to stabilize his mind.
"Elder Ma, please protect the great elder here. The rest of the Snow Tribe warriors will return to the castle with us."
After Wan Renxue walked out of the room, with an imperial look on his face, he gave orders to the snow tribesmen waiting outside the door.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
Elder Ma and four other elders responded respectfully and immediately stood outside the door.
The rest of the Snow Tribe warriors followed Wan Renxue and walked out without saying a word.
"Xuanyuan, you and Dali will stay here as well, just in case something unexpected happens."
"Fellow Taoist Yue Fang, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Yifeng also said solemnly to the three people around him, and then left with Wan Renxue and others.
Arriving on the deck of the battleship, Lu Ji looked around and shouted: "The whole army is ready. Now we have temporarily joined the Snow Country and become the Snow Country's border defense force."
"The future king of the Snow Country, Princess Wanren Snow, will lead us to the center of the Snow Country to clean up the rebellious people."
"Now, if anyone is dissatisfied with this situation, they can leave on their own."
"I, Lu Ji, am definitely not the kind of person who forces others into trouble!"
Lu Ji looked around, exuding a majestic aura unique to a general.
"Follow the general to the death!"
"It is our duty to clear up the rebellion in the Snow Country!"
No one on the surrounding battleships showed any resistance after hearing Lu Ji's words, and they all half-knelt on the ground and responded loudly.
"Okay, then let's go out with this general to defeat this monster who is causing harm to the country and the people!"
Lu Ji drew his sword and gave the order, and the army was about to march towards the castle in the center of the Snow Country.
