It was night. The moon was like a shower as it sprinkled a clear splendor over the land.
While the Northern Lands were still freezing cold, the Great Qin Empire on the other side was as warm as spring. The tender shoots on the willow branches had already sprouted a few lush green leaves.
Chunyu Feng lazily and comfortably lay on his bed, wrapped in a leather cloak. He changed his posture, his hands behind his head, his eyes staring at the sky, but his ears still listening to his subordinates' reports.
"What's the situation with Ol 'Three?" He asked leisurely.
This subordinate immediately replied, "Duke Mu is still in the Imperial Palace. However, after His Majesty heard that Mu Wangfei was also heading towards the Northern Kingdom, his smile was quite gratifying. Although they have no children, they still raise two good daughters. "
Chunyu Feng's lips curved up into a smile, but his smile never reached the corners of his eyes.
Mu Yanran was truly an ephemeral person. If she hated Mu Wan so much that she could agree with him, there were two things to be said about whether Mu Wenyun would be able to return after this journey.
However, Mu Wanyun was Jin Yu Lie's best friend at the moment. If she had anything, Jin Yu Lie would definitely not be so calm, and that was good enough.
Chunyu Feng was happy to see this kind of situation.
"His Majesty even specially gifted us with many things."
"Father has always been a good person to bribe people." Chunyu Feng continued speaking, then suddenly thought of something and immediately ordered, "Send word down, keep an eye on Imperial Concubine Yu. If there is any movement, report it as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir." "We'll do it now."
"Come back." "Suddenly, he called for someone to stop." Did you find out who let Renzo Eagle go first? "
The subordinate reported with a cupped fist, "That day, we were ordered to secretly contact Prince Yulun's men and tell them where he's under house arrest. But when we went to receive him, he was no longer present. Even the Prince's subordinates are not clear about this matter, and are currently searching everywhere. "
"I'm just asking if you found out who let them go."
"This subordinate has already done his best to investigate. I only suspect that it's Imperial Consort Yu or Duke Jin."
The subordinate's words stunned Chunyu Feng for a moment. The Duke of Jin had the ability and power to do so. If he was truly ambitious, then he definitely wouldn't look down on the Prince of Yu Lun from the Northern Kingdom. Everyone knew that Prince Tillen was a proton, but the entanglements between them would not be clear unless it was the tip of the pyramid.
Jin Yu Lie knew that this wasn't surprising, and being able to help him made sense.
However, Imperial Concubine Yu …
As expected, he did not underestimate this Jade Imperial Concubine who had the honor of monopolizing everything!
The battles in the harem were all conducted using invisible hidden swords and hidden daggers. To be able to survive in the harem without any problems, this truly was an extraordinary feat. It was due to the favor of the king, but the power of such a person couldn't be underestimated.
However, Pure Yufeng really didn't think that Imperial Concubine Yu would go through so much trouble for her good-for-nothing son.
Chunyu Feng waved his hand and let his men go.
"This subordinate will take his leave."
Chunyu Feng sat up slowly and walked to a willow tree. He picked up a green willow leaf and suddenly smiled brilliantly. The more people involved, the more fun it would be. He raised his hand and the willow leaf fell to the ground.
The tender leaves instantly lost their color.
Inside the Great Qin Emperor Palace, Chunyu Hong threw the secret letter in his hands onto the ground.
His expression was abnormally unsightly. The dangerous atmosphere made even Eunuch Hao, who had been serving by his side for many years, turn grave, let alone the other palace maids' attendants. Everyone kept quiet and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Eunuch Hao quickly picked up the secret letter and carefully placed it on the table.
He gave a meaningful glance to the court lady beside him, and the other court ladies quietly retreated before saying, "Your Majesty, what matter has infuriated you so much that you need to take care of your dragon body?"
Chunyu Hong said with a sneer, "A mere Northern Country is just a wasteland. The offered protons actually dared to run away without permission. Since they do not put us in their eyes, why should we leave them behind as barbarians?"
Although Jin Yu Lie was in charge of handling the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses at the border, without Chunyu Hong's order, he couldn't decide on his own. Not to mention that these one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were currently only worth thirty thousand.
If there really were a hundred thousand soldiers from the northern lands, then these thirty thousand soldiers would be like eggs striking a stone. Mu Wan Yun had gone to investigate the situation first because he wanted to seize some precious time for Jin Yu Lie so that he could mobilize his men later on.
However, things were different with Chunyu Hong.
He was truly a son of the heavens. Naturally, he would not think about this world alone. The matter regarding the protons of the Northern Kingdom was originally a battle within the Northern Kingdom. In order to protect his children, the Northern King had secretly swapped the two infested children.
It was because she knew that although she was a proton, life was much more carefree than it was in the North.
It was a good thing that the Northern King had the foresight to say that the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom had died in a battle like this, but the Queen knew that her child was still alive.
Other than the Queen, there was another person who knew about this, and that was Chunyu Hong.
In the past, he had done his part for this, so he had planned this as well.
With the protons in his hands, the Northern King would naturally listen to him. However, once the protons returned, it would inevitably lead to another storm.
Now that the king of the Northern Kingdom was sick and blind, now that the protons had fled, returning to the Northern Kingdom would be equivalent to looking for trouble.
That was why Chunyu Hong was so angry.
And what made him even angrier was that he knew very well in his heart who did this, yet he could not be sure.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We have yet to verify the identity of the culprit behind the matter of the proton's escape. Now that Miss Mu and Princess Mu have arrived at the Northern Kingdom, it would not be too late to decide on the matter after they have received concrete information. Didn't His Majesty already entrust this matter to the Duke of Jin? Why don't you check the situation first. "
Eunuch Hao's words made Chunyu Hong's anger fade away.
He was only angry for a moment. After some thought, he immediately informed the Duke of Jin of the matter of the protons escaping from the Northern Kingdom.
Eunuch Hao didn't understand. Since the Emperor suspected that the Duke of Jin was involved in this matter, why did he tell the Duke of Jin about it?
"Your Majesty?"
"You think I'm doing this in a strange manner?"
Eunuch Hao smiled and said, "This old servant really doesn't understand."
"What you said just now, we have already handed this matter over to the Duke of Jin. Naturally, we will let him handle it thoroughly." Chunyu Hong's smile was filled with countless schemes.
"Right, where's little Amu? Why hasn't there been any news of him for so long? "
In the Northern Kingdom, the wind was blowing fiercely and the snow was falling unrestrainedly, as if it wanted to cover everything on the ground with white snow.
Mu Wan and Huyan walked through the pure white snow with difficulty.
Huyan's falcon would occasionally fly in the sky, leading the way for everyone.
Otherwise, getting lost was a common occurrence.
Mu Yunji was covered from head to toe in a cloak, and his eyes were exposed. This made her feel particularly uncomfortable. Now, she deeply missed her old sunglasses, down jacket, and boots …
She was still thinking about how she must find a way to get all these warm things ready when she returned.
At this time, as Mu Wan was sitting on the horse, she suddenly felt her body lose weight. Fortunately, her hand was nimble and the thick layer of snow didn't hurt much when she fell off the horse.
The snow splashed up and covered his eyes. Mu Wan stretched out her hand to wipe the snow falling from her eyes, but Mu Wan, who was lying on her back, couldn't wipe the snow off her face no matter how hard she tried.
She opened her eyes and saw the gray sky through the snowflakes.
In a trance, she seemed to see a person. His long eyebrows were like lacquer, and his eyes were like the depths of the ocean. His meek lips were pursed as he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.
Why was Jin Yu Lie here?
A strong sound of wind could be heard, and Mu Yunji soon noticed that the sky had suddenly darkened.
Everything was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Huyan, who was sitting on the horse with much difficulty, saw Mu Wanyun fall down, and he immediately jumped up to try and pull her, but his hand only touched a corner of her clothes.
He saw her fall into the snow.
This fall shouldn't be too bad, but he saw that something was wrong with her eyes.
She seemed not to be able to see.
All of a sudden, Huyan thought about how the whole road was covered with snow. If he was not careful, he would have snow blindness. He jumped off his horse.
Mu Wanyun only felt her vision darken as she quickly closed her eyes. She knew what was going on, so she rubbed her eyes and found that there was a hand supporting her up.
She stood up with this hand.
"Lady Mu, are you alright?" Huyan was more or less afraid of her and the Duke of Jin's identity.
"I'm fine."
"Walking in the snow, the most taboo thing is gazing at the snow, it is easy to cause eye disease."
"I know Snow Blind, I didn't notice it."
As Mu Wan Yun spoke, he rested for a moment. He felt that his vision had improved a bit. He tore out a dark inner garment from under the cloak and covered his eyes, barely allowing him to see through the shadow.
At this moment, Mu Yunji's eyes slightly narrowed.
Above the sky, countless black dots were flying towards them. In the blink of an eye, they covered the sky.
There were only countless sounds of breaking wind that sounded like heavy rain.
The falcon let out a mournful cry as it stood there.
Huyan wanted to turn his head and look, but Mu Yun moved like a bolt of lightning and grabbed his shoulder, and suddenly pulled him into the back of the horse.
"Be careful!"
She reminded the others, but she was still a step too late.
Within the falling snowflakes that filled the sky, countless arrows were mixed within the falling snowflakes. Suddenly, they arrived as if they were locusts that flew into the sky.
After Huyan was pulled into the back of the horse by Mu Wan, she tightly held onto the reins with one hand. The horse whinnied in pain, but due to its training, it was forcefully pulled back. It let out a sorrowful cry, but remained motionless.
Huyan was caught off guard by Mu Wan's words and didn't have time to ask, but he was still looking through the gap behind him, and couldn't forget what he saw with a single glance.
This group of light riders consisted of three hundred people. Almost all of them were pierced by arrows and arrows, and they died instantly after being nailed to the ground like hedgehogs.
The remaining people were also severely injured. They followed Mu Huanyun's example and used their horses as shields to dodge, but there weren't too many people. This rain of arrows was enough to wipe out almost the entire cavalry.
