The mines belonging to the Mu family in Qingmang City, the villages they controlled, and even the industries in the other two cities were attacked for various reasons or on trumped-up charges, and even mountain bandits ran rampant.
Merchant caravans operating outside the capital were also investigated and detained on the spot for allegedly possessing armor and harboring criminals wanted by the imperial court. In a short time, the snowstorm that should have been peaceful and welcoming the New Year in the green wilderness became even heavier for the Mu family.
But all of this has nothing to do with Qingmaoju in Niujiao Lane in the south of the city or Woniu Village by Woniu Mountain. Whenever thieves or troublemakers try to break into this place, they will leave quietly, in a different guise.
The bright moon hangs high tonight, yet several cannot sleep. In the Mu family compound, in the room belonging to the Third Young Master, the blue-haired woman with a sword from the Mighty Bull Demon Sect is sitting in front of Mu Qingyuan.
“If you leave, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Mu family can escape danger. It’s better to have your main family send someone over, at least to preserve some of their strength.”
She was well aware of the current situation. A pack of wolves was poised to pounce, and a little meat was not enough for them. They might not stop until they had completely devoured the Mu family.
"The worst-case scenario is that the Mou family is gone, and another family is added to the list, or they simply disappear like the Ben family."
"The best-case scenario is that the Mu family is left barely alive. This would be the best-case scenario because we have our ancestral home in Huai'an, Chuzhou. Even the government wouldn't dare to be so inhumane."
"But if I manage to get out and enter Qiongdao Peak, given the nature of that Tongshan King, our Mu family will not be wiped out."
Mu Qingyuan looked at the intelligence report in his hand. The words on it were clearly written in black and white, but they also represented the bloody deaths of the Mu family. There was not a single good news in any of the messages.
With enemies on multiple fronts and blockades on multiple fronts, even if their own side wanted to send reinforcements, it would be difficult to mobilize them. The Marquis of Wu was unable to leave, and the King of Wu was unable to move. It would be difficult to resolve the predicament for the time being.
"But the premise is that you can get out. I'm not sure I can control the one who came with me. Your three ancestors can only stop two of them. But apart from the Liao family, who do you want to stop Wei Jie and Huang Yulang's protectors from the government?"
The woman assessed the situation and realized that it was an inescapable dead end, unless a miracle occurred, which was clearly impossible.
"I have my own plans. When the fireworks burst in unison, that will be the time for me to break free from my cage. This world is so wonderful, I would not want to die now."
"Auntie, just watch and see, I will definitely succeed!"
