Seeing this, Mulansheng glanced at Mulingqi calmly and said, "If Fifth Brother has any objections, you can negotiate with the Western Emperor in person."

The alliance agreement has been completed, so there is naturally no need for Emperor Xiang to cause trouble for himself.

Mu Lengqi was confronted by Mu Lansheng and didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately shut up.

Inside the carriage.

Bai Shao carefully lifted the carriage curtain, then looked at Tao Yao and the other three guarding the carriage on horseback. She couldn't help but ask Yun Miao curiously, "Master, I've never seen these four women around you before. They look so impressive. Could it be that the Third Prince assigned them to you?"

"They are just ordinary maids. I picked them up on the roadside." Yun Miao didn't intend to mention the matter of the Immortal Palace anymore. Besides, Bai Shao and the others were simple-minded, and he was afraid of making her worry if he told her.

Bai Shao was surprised: "I found it! The owner is really amazing."

The temperaments of these four sisters are better than those of ordinary ladies, and they are actually willing to obey the orders of the owner.

Chang Fang said from the side: "Sister Yun, please tell us quickly about your journey to Xiliang Kingdom. The prince of Xiliang Kingdom captured you. Was he hurt?" If he was hurt, when he went to Tiansheng as a hostage, he would definitely learn to make dozens of poisons for him to eat.

"Of course they won't hurt me. After all, a talented person like me is so popular everywhere." Yun Miao's words made Bai Shao and Chang Fang laugh.

However, just as everyone was talking and laughing as they passed by a barren mountain area.

"Something's wrong..." Tao Yao's voice suddenly came from outside.

Yun Miao's expression instantly faded. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

At this moment, the sky outside suddenly became gloomy. The gray sky and the dust made this desolate place seem more eerie.

Mulansheng in front probably also sensed that something was dangerously wrong.

He waved to Qin Xuan and the others beside him and said, "Everyone, be alert. Quicken your pace and pass the Poplar Cliff ahead before taking a rest."

"Third brother, we have been walking for the whole morning and everyone is tired. Why don't you rest here?" Mulengqi was quite impatient.

Mu Yeting also looked at him and said, "Have you forgotten the taboos of marching? The best place to rest is with a clear view, not a cliff or ridge."

"Of course I know, but now that the Xiliang Alliance Agreement has been signed, you are too nervous. You have all returned to Tiansheng, so what danger can there be?" Mu Lingqi disagreed.

But he had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, the army in the rear was in a panic: "Snakes... So many snakes..."

The horses were also instantly frightened.

"Why are there snakes?" Mulingqi looked back and saw countless colorful snakes crawling around.

There are many unprecedented varieties, red, green, blue and purple, which are creepy.

Mulansheng's expression was solemn. He shouted to calm the troops and raised his sword, saying, "Separate the two sides, take out the sulfur powder, and cut the snake seven inches."

Everyone then began to turn their backs and beat the snake in an orderly manner.

Sulfur powder is a must-have item during a march, and you will inevitably encounter these things when resting in the wild.

Although the snakes this time were a bit strange and there were many of them, everyone quickly calmed down.

When the sulfur powder was sprinkled out, the snakes were indeed a little afraid.

No matter how venomous a snake is, it will be afraid of sulfur.

But at the same time, the sound of a flute came through the Gobi Desert.

Suddenly, those fearful snakes ignored the sulfur powder as if they were crazy and rushed towards the team at a faster speed.

"What...what's going on?"

"Sulfur powder is useless against them..."

"Someone is controlling these snakes!" Ye Feng was the first to react.

But now the number of snakes is increasing, and people are overwhelmed.

Mulansheng's eyes turned sharply in the direction of the flute sound. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, "The Western Chestnut Tribe..."

Hearing these four words, Mu Lingqi's expression turned horrified: "The Li tribe...also known as the legendary Gu...the Gu tribe..."

This mysterious race is known to everyone.

It should be an existence that the other three countries are very afraid of.

Some people call them the Witch Clan, while others call them the Gu Clan, because the evil art of witchcraft is the core of the Li Clan.

"The Western Liang Kingdom really has a plan behind the scenes. No wonder that Su Qingyan, as a hostage, did not travel with us. They actually called out the Gu tribe. They are so despicable! They didn't dare to confront us head-on, and even used the alliance agreement to trick us into leaving. Now they use such a deadly weapon!" Mu Lengqi was extremely angry.

But Mulansheng disagreed: "If you want to mobilize the Gu tribe, there is no need to go to the trouble of signing an alliance. The alliance contract has been sent back to Kyoto in advance. If you go back on the contract and are constrained by the three countries, the gains will outweigh the losses."

"Then this Gu tribe is indeed from Xiliang. They do not obey the orders of the Xiliang royal family, so why would they attack us?" Mu Lengqi did not understand.

But along with the sound of the flute, all the surrounding snakes and insects rushed towards the direction of the army.

"What is that?" someone pointed at the sky in horror.

A black mass of small insects like locusts swarmed in.

But in just a moment, the entire large team let out screams of terror.

Anyone bitten by poisonous snakes and insects would fall to the ground instantly.

It can be seen how toxic it is.

"Spread and evacuate the cliff!" Mulansheng ordered.

These poisonous insects were obviously not ordinary insects, and ordinary swords and knives could not resist them at all. Although their martial arts and internal strength could resist them, if they continued to keep the army there, the casualties would be incalculable.

He saw Yun Miao's carriage, and the four maids still calmly sitting on the horses. The poisonous insects didn't dare to approach the carriage at all, so he was relieved.
