Chapter 1: Conspiracy
As night fell, the sky was dark, and the silence was broken by the steaming fireworks, and then the belated moon.
The barracks were full of lively and noisy scenes, but there was a dead silence around the camp tent in front of Mu Beimo, the prince of Xiling.
Mu Beimo stretched out his hand to open the door of the tent and walked in alone.
There was only one person in the tent, it was Gu Yunyue, the deputy marshal of the Nanwan Lieyue Army who was captured a few days ago.
She was bored picking up the lanterns. Hearing Mu Beimo's footsteps, Xun Sheng looked at it and looked extremely happy: "Yo, Your Highness is willing to come and see me?" ”
Although Gu Yunyue is not a graceful and pure beauty loved by Nanwan people, she also has a good look.
Her eyebrows are high and raised, and her eye sockets are deeper than the average person, and if you look closely at her eyes, you will find that although the colors are similar, her eyes are more like a deep, deep dark green than the dark eyes of the Nanwan people. It's just that the skin is less bloody, and it looks very pale.
If the beauty that Nanwan people like is as gentle as jade, then Gu Yunyue is like a sword out of the sheath, slender but sharp.
It's just that Mu Beimo is used to seeing her in silver armor and carrying a spear, and now that she sees Gu Yunyue in a dress, Mu Beimo, who is used to seeing beauties, is also moved in her heart.
This throbbing was suppressed by Mu Beimo for a moment: "Yue Shuai is such an important person, I naturally have to come to meet." ”
Gu Yunyue was still lazy, and deliberately pinched a coquettish tone: "Now that I am in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will be disposed of by His Royal Highness." ”
The flame of the candle dancing was reflected in her eyes, and then burned into Mu Beimo's heart along her eyes.
Mu Beimo felt that a fire was also burning in his heart.
Gu Yunyue's eyes are sucky, and no one can help but wonder what secrets are hidden in the dark green pool.
Mu Beimo had no choice but to follow her wishes, approaching step by step, ready to see the move.
The people around the tent had long been dismissed by the eye-catching attendants, and the candles in the tent were about to burn out, creating a beautiful atmosphere.
Just as Mu Beimo got closer and closer, and was about to bully him, a cold light flashed in front of him.
Mu Beimo knew that Gu Yunyue had made a move, and hurriedly reached out to take the dagger he had hidden, but he felt empty.
When he looked up again, he saw that the dagger was on his neck, and the cold blade slowly cut through his neck.
Mu Beimo woke up suddenly, breathing as if a drowning man had finally surfaced. When the guards guarding outside heard this, they stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you having a nightmare again?" ”
Mu Beimo didn't answer him, he reached out and stroked his neck, Gu Yunyue only left him a shallow injury two months ago, but now he has healed, and he didn't even leave a scar.
But Mu Beimo could still feel the biting chill and the anger after being calculated.
He calmed down for a moment and asked, "Is Ji Zhuo here?" ”
The guard nodded in response, "I'm already waiting at the camp gate, just waiting for you to call him in." ”
"Take it to the main tent."
When Ji Zhuo entered the tent, he saw that the man on the main seat was not wearing armor, but wearing a dark narrow-sleeved python robe, the cuffs were embroidered with silver thread with flowing cloud piping, and the scarlet gold silk water ripple belt was tied around his waist. The black hair was haphazardly tied with a gilded crown. The sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the sideburns, and under the phoenix-like eyelashes were dark green eyes that were more transparent than jade. The corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and he was born to take people's souls.
This man was slender and handsome, with a majesty between his eyebrows and eyes, and it only took a look to know that he was a man of illustrious origin.
"The villain greets His Royal Highness the Prince."
Mu Beimo raised his hand: "Give General Ji a seat." ”
Without waiting for Ji Zhuo to thank him, Mu Beimo said with a smile: "Since the Lieyue Army left, General Ji has lived a few days of stable life. It's just that you, the main general of the first level, are actually not as good as Gu Yunyue to get the support of the people of Taidingguan. ”
Ji Zhuo's facial features twisted, and his tone was full of resentment: "After all, this Taidingguan is the family business that the villain has worked hard to save for many years, and that little girl who has not dried up dares to point fingers at me." She just relied on her brother Gu Yunlie's ability and the status of the Gu family to be so powerful, riding on my head and bullying me. I'm going to have to clean her up sooner or later."
Mu Beimo patiently listened to Ji Zhuo's complaints, and then spoke to reassure: "General Ji has been friendly with me Xiling all these years, and Gu is willing to help you out of this bad breath." ”
When Ji Zhuo heard this, as if he had found a savior, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "If Your Highness can help the villain, in the future, I will definitely go to the soup for Your Highness and never give up." ”
Mu Beimo said with a smile: "It's not necessary in the future, now, Lone has something to trouble General Ji." ”
Ji Zhuo hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and Mu Beimo waved his hand to signal him to come over.
After about a stick of incense, Mu Beimo made arrangements.
He looked coldly at the seat and bowed his head and waisted Ji Zhuo, obviously the main general of Taiding Pass, but he looked servile to the prince of the enemy country: "Do you remember what Gu said?" ”
Ji Zhuo is like a pug who begs for rewards from his master, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the villain has all remembered." It's just that His Royal Highness has to bother so much to find Gu Yunyue's little girl, Nan Wan has more beautiful beauties than her. The tone was extremely flattering.
"What's the matter, who do you want to find and General Ji has to look at it?" Mu Beimo seemed to be smiling, but it inexplicably made people feel cold.
Ji Zhuo immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's the villain's gaffe, Your Highness is not to blame." The villain must have completed the things arranged by His Highness beautifully. ”
Mu Beimo no longer looked at him, and continued to carefully deduce the battle he lost to Gu Yunyue a few months ago, his right hand was raised slightly, and the little guard behind him immediately handed a package to Ji Zhuo.
Ji Zhuo weighed the weight of the package, and the heavy feeling made him smile, "Then Your Highness, you are busy, and the villain will retreat first." ”
After confirming that Ji Zhuo was leaving, Mu Beimo handed a letter to his close attendant: "Tell the people of Lidu, when I ask you, tell the content of this letter to the emperor of Nanwan, Lao'er." ”
After receiving the order, the guard turned around to go out, but Mu Beimo stopped him again: "At the same time, you immediately go to report to your father, just say that I will lead my troops to attack Taiding Pass tomorrow, Gu Yunyue will be captured just around the corner, and he can wait for my news with peace of mind." ”
The guard did not retreat, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment but did not dare to speak.
Mu Bei glanced at his guard: "What do you want to ask?" ”
The little guard immediately knelt down: "Your Highness, the last general is just worried that the Lieyue Army has just returned to the dynasty, and Nanwan also has other troops with closer garrisons, if Nanwan doesn't send the Lieyue Army to come, won't our deployment be in vain?" ”
Mu Beimo snorted, "Who else does Emperor Nanwan dare to send?" Which military general in the Nanwan Dynasty dares to take the initiative to ask for help? There is only one Burning Moon Army. ”
