Mu Jingrui stood up, and the man suddenly felt that his momentum was suppressed.
"When the messenger came to deliver the message, you secretly had someone leave a letter for me, hoping to cooperate with me. I would like to hear how you want to cooperate?"
When the envoys were arguing with the left and right vanguards, Mu Jingrui noticed that one of the envoys had flickering eyes and behaved strangely.
However, when Mu Jingrui's eyes met his, he was calm and not afraid of attracting attention at all.
He even pressed a note under the tablecloth next to him under Mu Jingrui's gaze.
It was not until they left that Mu Jingrui opened the note and read the contents, only to realize that, although Goshawk and Wu Xiong were allied on the surface, they were actually not in harmony in heart.
Wu Xiong was dissatisfied with Goshawk's despotism and tyranny, and was even more unwilling to always be Goshawk's little brother following behind.
They are eager to change the status quo.
"General Mu, we can secretly help you save your life and rescue the trapped people. However, you have to send troops to annihilate the Goshawk in one fell swoop. But at the same time, you have to ensure that the Central Plains court will not stay there permanently. The land of the Goshawk belongs to us."
Mu Jingrui had already guessed their purpose.
In fact, the rulers of Wuxiong are much smarter than the rulers of Goshawk.
They didn't take the lead, seemingly because they were afraid of Goshawk's power, but in fact, they most likely wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"Why should I trust you?"
"General Mu, do you still have any choice now? Regardless of whether your Crown Prince agrees to Ji Kuo's request or not, you are dead."
Mu Jingrui did not deny that this was the current situation.
"It's okay for me to cooperate with you, but you have to follow my instructions on how to proceed."
The request made by Mu Jingrui made the man feel very annoyed.
"Listen to you? Can you? You are just a prisoner. After all, I am Wuxiong's General Pingxi..."
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Mu Jingrui walked to the side, leaned against the pillar, and looked out the window.
Pingxi General Yunqiao became even more annoyed. He was about to step forward and teach Mu Jingrui a lesson, but he saw the maid beside him step back and her clenched fists gradually loosen.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I want to see how you turn the tide." After saying that, he turned away.
The surroundings became quiet again, and every detail of the scene just now flashed through Mu Jingrui's mind.
About half an hour later, the maid came back with a bamboo basket in her hand.
She took out a pot of wine and two dishes of small dishes, and said softly: "General Yun asked me to bring you wine and food, as a token of our sincerity in cooperating with you."
Mu Jingrui stood there without moving.
The maid poured a glass of wine and walked over to Mu Jingrui and handed it to him.
Mu Jingrui looked down, then slowly raised his hand to take the pulse, but took the opportunity to take the maid's pulse.
The maid was startled and dodged subconsciously.
The two of them exchanged a few moves.
"I never thought that there are so many hidden talents in Wuxiong Country, and a little maid could be so hidden."
After being exposed by Mu Jingrui, the maid felt uncomfortable for a moment, but then she regained her composure.
"General Mu has good eyesight, but..."
Before the maid could finish her words, Mu Jingrui suddenly moved and grabbed her right arm.
This time, the maid couldn't dodge.
With a "hiss", Mu Jingrui tore off the maid's sleeves, revealing her fair arms.
Near the shoulder, there is a lifelike wolf head tattooed.
"As far as I know, in Wuxiong, only the royal family and the princes and princesses of pure and noble blood are qualified to have a wolf head tattoo."
Seeing this, the maid felt that there was no need to disguise herself anymore.
She smiled brightly and bowed to Mu Jingrui. "Yes, I am the legitimate daughter of Queen Wuxiong, Princess Xianyue."
It is true.
"General Mu is extremely smart and observant. It seems... I did not choose the wrong partner."
"You certainly didn't make the wrong choice, but I hope... I didn't make the wrong choice either."
Mu Jingrui said expressionlessly, "My subordinates will definitely agree to Ji Kuo's request for my safety. However, there is not enough food in the pass at the moment. I guess they will send some of it over to appease Ji Kuo first."
"What you need to do is to ensure that the people who are delivering the food can enter the city smoothly. And secretly inform them that I am still alive."
"Then what?" Xianyue asked nervously.
"Nothing happened."
Mu Jingrui had no intention of continuing to speak. His arrogant attitude made Xianyue somewhat dissatisfied, but she seemed helpless.
Xianyue took a deep breath, smiled and slowly walked in front of Mu Jingrui.
She stretched out her long and slender arm and placed it on Mu Jingrui's shoulder.
Mu Jingrui was slightly startled and his body became a little stiff.
His reaction made Xianyue feel very interesting.
Xianyue leaned close to Mu Jingrui, her breath was as fragrant as orchid. "Is General Mu married?"
Mu Jingrui leaned back subconsciously.
Xianyue placed her arm on Mu Jingrui's back and with her other hand she poked his chest with her fingers.
"I guess... definitely not. From now on, if you want to see my wolf head tattoo, just tell me. There's no need to be so rude. If you do this... no girl will like you."
Mu Jingrui was not afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy, but faced with Xinyue's provocation, he was a little at a loss.
"General Mu, actually..."
"roll."
Mu Jingrui spat out a word coldly.
Xianyue was stunned for a moment, let go of Mu Jingrui, took a few steps back, and a wicked smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
She didn't say anything else and really walked out.
Mu Jingrui's body felt a little hot, which reminded him of Shangguan Wanning.
The news of his deep penetration into the enemy camp must have spread back to the interior. If she is still in the city and has not returned to the capital, she must have known about it by now.
Then...will she be worried?
Shangguan Wanning chased Mu Jingyan all the way, but didn't see any trace of him at all. She asked several people along the way and everyone said they had never seen him.
As it was getting dark, she originally planned to go back and talk later, but she found that she was lost.
Shangguan Wan Ning wanted to cry but had no tears.
Looking at the endless snow all around her, she had no choice but to find a place to stay nearby.
She was lucky enough to walk into a village shortly after dark, but most people had fled, leaving nine out of ten houses empty.
Shangguan Wanning walked alone in the empty and silent village. The sky was getting darker and the snow was getting stronger. The snowflakes hitting her face were sharper than steel knives.
She felt as if she was the only one left in the world. She had never experienced such a scene since she was a child.
Finally, Shangguan Wanning saw a faint light coming from a house in front of her.
This lifted her spirits.
She hurried over and knocked on the door.
The door opened and a long sword stabbed towards her chest.
