"You—" Gu Ciyu's face turned pale with anger at her words.
Mu Yunzhi smiled calmly and walked to her side, advising, "Alright, I've already said that Xia'er is my friend. Friends can naturally call me by my name."
"Your Highness, you're being far too polite to her." Gu Ciyu pursed her lips, clearly displeased with the sight.
The next second, Mu Yunzhi gave her a sharp, warning look.
Gu Ciyu felt wronged and wanted to say something again, but the next second Li Pei grabbed her hand.
She instantly calmed down and controlled her emotions.
While they were talking, Lin Qixia kept looking at Mu Yunzhi in front of her.
The other person had removed the fox mask from their face at some point, revealing a beautiful face with a cunning expression.
"Shall we go?" Mu Yunzhi seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head to meet her eyes, and extended his hand to her as if nothing had happened.
Lin Qixia didn't take his hand, but instead asked him, "Where are we going?"
"Of course we'll go down the mountain. The rebels will probably find out where we're going soon and come after us." Mu Yunzhi's tone was unusually worried.
Lin Qixia irritably refused him: "Don't joke around. Do you think I would dare to ask Your Highness to condescend to protect my safety now?"
She couldn't figure out the man's intentions, but the fact was that he had lied to her.
Lin Qixia immediately decided that she could no longer trust him or cooperate with him.
"Let's part ways here. You and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Mu Yunzhi sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid that's not up to you."
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling several guards to come forward and surround her.
Lin Qixia frowned, and her heart sank instantly, knowing that the current situation was very unfavorable to her.
From the moment she was in the mountain stronghold, or rather, from the very first moment she saw Yunzhi, she had been constantly schemed against and manipulated by Mu Yunzhi.
And Huo Yanqing himself—
Perhaps it wasn't as Mu Yunzhi described, that he was the culprit behind the siege of the mountain stronghold and the death of Lin Jiudong.
"So, Miss Lin, have you decided to come with us now?"
Behind him, Mu Yunzhi's voice rang out again.
Lin Qixia gave a bitter smile, "Given the situation, do you think I have any other choice?"
Her words instantly relaxed Gu Ciyu's tense expression.
They even showed a triumphant expression.
Mu Yunzhi was also very pleased: "I admire Miss Lin for being able to figure things out so quickly."
As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Qixia to enter.
The guards were about to step forward to restrain her when Lin Qixia snapped angrily, "A bunch of idiots! Did your master order you to treat me like this?"
Those people were so frightened by her sudden and sharp aura that they froze in their tracks, and then looked at Mu Yunzhi beside them with pleading eyes.
Mu Yunzhi said with a half-smile, "Miss Lin is right. You are not allowed to be rude to my friend."
"yes!"
The group immediately received orders to abandon their attempt to capture Lin Qixia and instead retreated to the side at a distance.
However, he was still keeping an eye on Lin Qixia.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia chuckled and then walked forward.
Mu Yunzhi walked over with satisfaction and followed beside her.
A large group of people set off down the mountain under the cover of night.
As they walked, Lin Qixia asked Mu Yunzhi in a seemingly casual manner, "You must have been planning this for a long time, right?"
"When did it start? Was it when we first met, or when I asked Lin Xiao to give you that booklet?"
The fact that Mu Yunzhi was a member of the royal family helped Lin Qixia quickly understand why he had orchestrated this scheme to capture her.
As a feudal class, they naturally couldn't stand the things they wrote in the booklets.
Even though I've been discreet enough, I'm not foolish enough to openly proclaim the slogan of equality for all in this world.
However, some of the ironclad rules and regulations of the management team still allowed him to glimpse some of his intentions.
That is to change the current system.
She guessed that Mu Yunzhi's encounter with her was probably just a sudden realization, regardless of his original purpose in infiltrating the Beiling Mountain stronghold.
She dared to say that the other party had already changed his original plans when facing her, which was also the reason why he didn't leave.
Lin Qixia just wanted to get more information out of him, including what he planned to do.
He could also take the opportunity to keep an eye on everything around him, looking for any loopholes that might give her a chance to escape his control.
Mu Yunzhi seemed to be patiently comforting her: "Now that things have come to this, don't struggle anymore. I won't let you leave until Huo Yanqing and the rebels behind him are eliminated."
"As for yourself, I have other plans for you."
Upon hearing his initial words, Lin Qixia felt a sudden pang of unease, realizing that the other party had seen through her intentions and there was no hope left.
Unexpectedly, he later mentioned Huo Yanqing.
It seems that for him, the most urgent thing is to get rid of this so-called "rebel" and its leader.
Indeed, he has mentioned them more than once since tonight.
Compared to himself, he clearly believed that the biggest threat at present was Huo Yanqing and Huo family army.
After saying this, he softened his attitude towards Lin Qixia: "You must be very tired tonight. I will escort you down the mountain so that you can reunite with your family. You can rest well with them then."
After he finished speaking, Lin Qixia's eyes sharpened: "You arrested them too?"
"Yes, your brother, your sister-in-law, and that little girl Lin Yi are all down the mountain." Mu Yunzhi's expression showed some regret as he said this. "Unfortunately, your sister is stubborn. At the critical moment, she insisted on protecting them and fighting to the death with the guards, which led to our people accidentally killing her."
