Chapter 484: Sending Heads Across Thousand Miles (2)
While Mu Yufeng was crying for his royal brother's situation, Dalin was secretly looking at Master Qiu.
He didn't know if it was because of his preconceived notions, but he always felt that Master Qiu was gloomy and gave people a very bad feeling.
His hand unconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Master Qiu glanced at him expressionlessly.
Dalin suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up, as if all his vigilance and suspicion in his heart had been seen through by Master Qiu.
Although Master Qiu only looked at him for a moment before averting his gaze as if nothing had happened, Dalin felt uneasy, as if he were being targeted by a large prey and was about to face serious danger.
He always believed in his intuition, and it was this keen intuition that helped him escape danger many times.
He wanted to quietly remind his prince, but Mu Yufeng was not only concerned about his brother's health, but also anxious to ask questions to Master Qiu. He didn't even look at him, so he never found an opportunity.
Mu Yufeng's questioning was not going well either.
Master Qiu was as quiet as ever. He asked ten questions, but he could only answer three at most. Mu Yufeng asked for a long time, but he still didn't fully understand their current situation.
This made him very irritable.
But Master Qiu has always acted this way, so Mu Yufeng didn't think much about it.
And at this time he didn't have time to think too much.
The further we went, the more rugged and difficult the mountain road became, the deeper the terrain became, and the fog was so thick that trees in the distance could not be seen clearly.
He nearly missed a step and fell off the cliff several times. He no longer cared about asking Master Qiu questions and just focused on walking.
After walking for several hours, they arrived at a very dark cave.
As soon as you enter the cave, a strong smell of blood and decay hits you in the face.
The smell almost made Mu Yufeng vomit.
He felt even more upset, and glared at Imperial Master Qiu angrily, "You're going to let my brother live in a place like this? Is this a place for people to live?"
Master Qiu ignored him, but put the sword next to Mu Yuchong and slowly walked out of the cave.
In Mu Yufeng's eyes, this behavior was a blatant neglect. He was furious.
However, thinking that his brother was recovering from his injuries and that Imperial Preceptor Qiu was his trusted confidant, he did not bother to argue with Imperial Preceptor Qiu at this time.
"Brother, you have suffered so much. How are you? I brought a lot of medicine here. See if you can use it. I bought these at a high price at the Lingnan clinic."
As Mu Yufeng spoke, he took off the bag on his body and showed each item to Mu Yuchong as if he were presenting a treasure.
As he took out the medicine, he explained, "I originally wanted to get a doctor from the clinic, but I was afraid of exposing my brother's hiding place. In the end, I only brought the medicine. Luckily, Dalin knows a little bit about medicine, so I'll let him take a look at you."
Mu Yufeng said this and waved to Dalin, asking him to go and check Mu Yuchong's body.
At this moment, Mu Yuchong, who was originally leaning against the stone wall, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Who asked you to come?"
Mu Yufeng widened his eyes, unable to react for a moment.
Because the light in the cave was dim and Mu Yuchong had his eyes closed, he didn't notice anything wrong.
But at this moment, Mu Yuchong suddenly opened his eyes, and he found that his eyes were red and filled with black air, like a ghost!
The nauseating smell of blood and rot was especially noticeable when he started talking.
Obviously, the disgusting smell of blood and decay in the cave came from his body.
He never believed the rumors outside before.
But at this moment, the faith in his heart began to collapse.
He couldn't help but wonder, was what was being said outside true? Did his brother and the Imperial Master really perform some kind of sorcery? Did they cause the people to spontaneously combust and inhale deathly aura?
What happened next was beyond Mu Yufeng's understanding.
Mu Yuchong was seen holding a sword in one hand, about to stab it into Mu Yufeng's chest, while the other hand was tightly holding his hand. He looked extremely twisted.
Mu Yufeng seemed to be struck by lightning. With his eyes wide open, he looked at the person in front of him and said, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Dalin had long felt that the entire cave was filled with a strange atmosphere, and he was secretly on guard. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately came over and pulled Mu Yufeng, saying, "Your Highness, let's go!"
Mu Yufeng was unwilling to leave just like that.
After Mu Yuchong became emperor, he was suspicious of him, doubted his loyalty, and suspected that he had other ideas.
But in reality, Mu Yufeng had never considered fighting for power. He often recalled how kind his eldest brother had been to him, treating him like his closest relative. Now that he clearly saw that something was wrong with his eldest brother, he was not willing to leave.
He broke away from Dalin and said, "Did the Imperial Master harm you? I knew he was not a good person. I will kill him right now."
As Mu Yuchong spoke, he rushed out with his sword.
Seeing his brother caring about him wholeheartedly at this time, Mu Yuchong regretted that he had ever doubted him.
He would never let his loved ones die by his sword again.
He gritted his teeth, finally temporarily defeated the other soul in his body, and threw the sword to the ground.
But he knew that this victory would be short-lived.
He quickly instructed, "Don't go. You can't beat him. Run away. Go back and protect the Crown Prince and the other princes and princesses. Don't start a war, and don't come to see me. If all else fails, you can ask for help from the Emperor of Damin."
At first, he didn't know why Master Qiu drugged Wan Ning in an attempt to make them do something immoral.
But these days, he gradually figured out something. He guessed that all this was done to allow the evil spirit to completely possess his body.
Today, the evil spirit in his body asked him to kill his blood-related brother with his own hands, and maybe his other children too later.
Mu Yufeng was completely shocked by the powerful message in his brother's words.
He could understand why the two countries should not go to war, but the only consequence was that a war between the two countries would cause devastating loss of lives, or a rash war would destroy the foundation of the country.
But he couldn't understand why he was asked to protect the crown prince and the prince and not let them come to see him.
What he couldn't understand the most was that his royal brother actually asked him to seek help from the emperor of Damin?
Could it be...
Thinking about the contradictory scene where his brother was holding the sword in one hand to kill him but holding it down tightly with the other hand, he became more certain of his guess.
"Prince, let's go!" Seeing the expression on Mu Yuchong's face twisting and turning, he looked like a madman. Mu Yufeng was still standing there in a daze. Dalin was very anxious and pulled Mu Yufeng out of the cave.
But at this time, Master Qiu appeared at the entrance of the cave without anyone noticing.
Mu Yufeng originally thought that it was Master Qiu who had possessed his brother, and wanted to find Master Qiu to settle the score. But now, seeing that Master Qiu could no longer suppress his anger, he rushed forward with his sword in hand.
