Chapter 742
Inside the tent, Mu Yunyao listened to the heaven-shaking battle cries coming from outside, her gaze distant and calm.
"What are you worried about?
" When Mu Yunyao saw that she was gently patting her child, she felt extremely relaxed. Leaning against the soft pillow at the side, she smiled as she looked at the poisonous woman.
The woman lowered her voice slightly.
"I'm not trying to sow discord, I'm just puzzled. If you hear it, just forget it. Please don't take it seriously.
"
"Alright, tell me about it.
"
"Look, King Yue and the imperial government were discussing and plotting to ensnare the Northern Frontier. The two sides planned to jointly defeat the Northern Frontier at the foot of the Northern Creek Mountain, didn't they?
"
"Yeah.
"
"You must know that the canyon at the foot of the Northern Creek Mountain is the best place for an ambush, and the current situation is that the imperial army would surround the northern army and the people of the King of Yue. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will suspect the King of Yu and take advantage of this opportunity to take care of the western part of Cantonese?
"
Mu Yunyao chuckled and looked at her,
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
"
"Tell me the lie first.
"
"The Emperor and Brother King Yue have a deep relationship. He isn't someone to be casually suspected. King Yue and I both believe in the Emperor's character.
"
The Poison Matriarch pursed her lips and asked,
"What about the truth?
" I also placed the Shadow Squad next to Qi Min and the other high-ranking officers. If someone gave the order to harm the King, the Shadow Guards would have enough power to assassinate them. At that time, they would have the ability to control the imperial army, and after taking care of the northern border, we could borrow the strength to attack.
Once you enter the capital, you will be able to seize the throne.
"
"Huh?
" The woman was stunned. She hadn't thought that she would be able to hear such a big plan.
"You, don't let your thoughts run wild. King Yue and I do trust the Emperor, and we know that he isn't the kind of person to waste Brother Gu's family love. At the same time, I only left behind those methods to leave a path of retreat, and I didn't really want to do anything.
"
"I still don't get it.
" Mu Yunyao thought for a moment.
"The Buddha family has a Yun, but if you do good deeds and don't ask about the future, then what I and King Yue are doing now is doing our duty. As for whether the Emperor will feel grateful or doubt in his heart, it will not affect my decision with King Yue.
"Just because I feel guilty.
"
The Poison Matriarch blinked and pinched Mu Yunyao's cheek.
"Yunyao, why do I suddenly feel like liking you more and more?
"
Mu Yunyao opened her hand,
"I don't dare to accept it. If you like me, then what about your junior brother?
"
The wicked woman harrumphed.
"We don't need to care about him!
"
"Is that so? How come I heard that someone mentioned an Ice Snow Lotus and that Junior Brother went up the mountain alone with a medicinal basket on his back?
"
The Poison Lady's gaze shifted as if nothing had happened.
"Who knows what he's doing?
"
Mu Yunyao looked at her expression and continued,
"It's the beginning of March. Although the weather in western Guangdong is getting warmer and slower, the snow in many places on this mountain has loosened. Normal people wouldn't dare casually enter the mountain.
The Poison Matriarch abruptly stood up and carefully placed the child in Mu Yunyao's arms.
"Yao`er, I just remembered a prescription. I'm going down to help you check if there are any more ingredients available, you can play for a while.
" After he finished speaking, he did not even have the time to put on his cloak and immediately ran out of the tent in large strides.
Jin Lan brought over the bird's nest porridge for Mu Yunyao and put it with a smile on her face.
"The wicked woman has clearly already let her heart out, but she still refuses to admit it. It's only consort who has a way.
" Once bitten by a snake, she is always afraid of the rope in the well. If no one pushes her, she might have to spend a lot of time before she has the courage to take this step once and for all.
" She understood that feeling, as if she had made up her mind to accept King Yue. She had accumulated a lot of courage, and now she saw the same hesitation …
The Poison Lady couldn't help giving him a push. After all, time was of the essence, there was no need to waste it on unnecessary things.
Jin Lan was slightly stunned, then she nodded.
Mu Yunyao looked over with a smile.
"I'm not talking about the Poison Lady, but you. Have you gotten into an awkward situation with Yu Heng in the past two days?
"
Jin Lan bit her lower lip.
"Mistress, you … Do you know?
"
"I can see that. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Yu Heng and Yu Yi for their decisiveness. If their letter was sent a few days later, then maybe I really would have been separated from the Winged King by Yin and Yang.
"
"Although that's what I said, but I've suffered so much from the wangfei that I feel uncomfortable whenever I see him.
"
"Since you love me dearly, naturally, Yu Heng also dotes on his master. Their positions are different so their views are different. Don't be too sincere. Once the war in the northern border has subsided, I'll prepare a wedding for all of you, okay?
"
"Princess...
"Don't be in such a hurry. Just wait a bit longer, so that he doesn't have to think about anything in the future.
"
"Okay, when you've thought it through, tell me. I've already prepared your dowry.
"
"This servant thanks wangfei.
"
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes to look at the entrance of the tent. The sounds of killing outside became louder and louder, as if the battle had reached its most critical moment.
"It looks like the dust will settle soon.
"
At the foot of the Northern Creek Mountain, Helian Tan was drenched in blood. More than half of the guards beside him had already died.
Yue Huang wielded a long sword in his hand, and fresh blood continuously dripped from his armor, making him look like a god of death.
Helian Tan's heart trembled. He had never seen such a cold-hearted person before. It was as if he saw his life as an ant, and no matter how many he crushed, he did not care at all,
"King Yue, if you let me go, in the future I will repay you handsomely!
" The sword in King Yue's hand became a flower of sword light, and with a backstab, he killed the Northern Frontier guard who rushed forward to ambush him:
"Although Northern Frontier King is a hero, but he still listens to my words and believes that Helian Chuan is unwise and useless. In the entire Northern Frontier, only you have brains.
It might be the mastermind behind Xu Qi's actions!
"
Helian Tan's pupils suddenly contracted:
"You …
" Did he guess?
Yue Yang squinted his eyes abruptly, the killing intent in his eyes surging outwards, his voice colder than before:
"It's really you!
" King Yue, I just wanted to sell you a good deed. I have already prepared a way to remove the Gu worm and was waiting for the final day to send it over to you. I never thought that I would really take your life …
" Helian Tan racked her brains, wanting to convince Yue Wang. But before she could finish, she felt a sudden cold sensation in her throat …
Soon after, blood began to gurgle out, making him unable to make a sound.
The sword in Yue Yang's hand swung down:
"You, should be killed!
"
The northern soldiers were frightened out of their wits. They were too far away from King Yue and did not dare to charge up again.
The corpses of the Northern Frontier soldiers were lying all around him. Blood flowed like rivers, causing anyone who saw it to tremble in fear.
Yu Heng and Yu Yi finally caught up to him,
"Your Highness!
"
"Hand over the northern army, and those who surrender will be apprehended. Those who resist will be killed on the spot!
"
"Yes!
"
