Chapter 429: Internal and External Cooperation
Snowy night.
The north wind is cold.
The wind was whistling.
The cold wind blew across my cheeks, making my face hurt.
Lu Qingyao quickened her pace.
Although Mu Yunji's injuries have improved, he is still far from being able to wield a sword and kill the enemy.
He probably hasn't had a peaceful life for many years.
So now, if I hear any sign of trouble, I can’t sit still.
Before entering the courtyard, Mu Yunji's voice could be heard from afar: "Get out of the way, why are you stopping me?"
Xiuxiu stretched out her arms to stop him.
No matter whether he is a duke or a general, if my sister says she wants to stop him, she will definitely stop him.
Seeing that Mu Yunji was a little angry, she had no choice but to bring up her elder sister: "Lord Mu, my elder sister said that your injury is not healed yet and you can't go out."
She recently discovered a huge secret.
My elder sister seemed to care about Lord Mu very much, and took good care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
I've never seen her treat other men like this.
It feels a bit like being a couple.
Lord Mu's eyes were glued to my elder sister, and heeded her every word.
Her intuition told her that there was a chance between these two people.
I thought he would listen to his sister and stay in the room, but he turned his face to Yu Qi. "What are you standing there for? Get this woman out of here!"
Mu Yunji still insisted.
The border was attacked, how could he, as the head coach, not go and take a look?
Cangzhou is an important pass in Daliang. As a necessary place for the north-south grain transport, the canal runs through all parts of Cangzhou.
In the eyes of the northern barbarians, it is a very tempting piece of fat meat.
Of course, it is also a very important checkpoint for Daliang, and there must not be any mistakes.
So he had to go.
Xiuxiu: ...
I have never seen such a stubborn person, even more stubborn than a cow.
She looked at Yu Qi calmly.
Yu Qi was a little embarrassed.
On one side is the master, and on the other side is Madam Lu’s adopted sister.
Madam Lu didn't let the young master leave because it was for his own good. He was already so injured, why would he go to the battlefield?
We can't afford to offend anyone on either side.
He made a prompt decision: "Madam Lu is right. The young master's injury hasn't healed yet, so he really can't go."
Mu Yunji glared at him fiercely: "Don't you want your salary anymore?"
Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Yu Qi. My sister will take care of your salary."
Mu Yunji's brows twitched.
How could Yaoyao's sister be like this!
Yu Qi looked up at the beam.
Watching...
Something seems wrong.
Why is there dust falling from the beam? And why is there a rustling sound?
It doesn't sound like the wind, but more like... someone.
not good……
"Sir, there's someone on the roof." He immediately drew his sword and got ready for battle.
Mu Yunji glared at him: "Yu Qi, don't talk about other things. I asked you to get this woman away..."
"Sir, I'm not lying to you. There really is someone on the roof." Yu Qi pointed at the beam and said seriously.
Mu Yunji and Xiuxiu immediately fell silent before they could hear the rustling sounds.
Xiuxiu went forward and turned off the lights.
Yu Qi went out to investigate...
The moon and stars are sparse.
The moonlight shines on the land of Cangzhou, emitting a cold silver light.
Lu Qingyao changed her clothes here.
As soon as I left the yard, I noticed a dark shadow moving on the roof.
I was suddenly shocked.
Oh no, someone attacked at night.
She jumped onto the roof like a cat demon.
Look around in the moonlight.
There were quite a few people. As far as the eye could see, there were at least twenty or thirty of them, all wearing black clothes and masks. They were all tall and strong, more than a head taller than the people from Daliang.
These men in black gathered from different directions and slowly approached Mu Yunji's yard.
Oh no! They are actually Northern Barbarians.
How did they get into Cangzhou City?
Could it be that... their target is Mu Yunji who is still injured?
Lu Qingyao's heart trembled.
Most of the palace soldiers had been taken away by her brother, and she had no confidence at all that she could deal with this group of barbarians.
It is more important to hold Mu Yunji back first. This guy loves to show off his strength.
Seeing someone being tripped by a man in black not far away, Lu Qingyao shouted, "Yu Qi, don't fight anymore, go back and protect your master."
Upon hearing this, the men in black were unwilling to let Yu Qi leave, and three or five of them stopped him.
The rest of the people attacked Mu Yunji's courtyard, but were tripped up by the gatekeepers and the palace guards on duty.
These people didn't take her, a woman, seriously at all, and almost no one came to stop her.
She took the opportunity to enter the courtyard where Mu Yunji lived.
As I got closer, I heard the arguing between Mu Yunji and Xiuxiu again.
inside the house.
Xiuxiu stood in front of Mu Yunji like an eagle protecting its chicks, fearing that the assassin would break in.
Mu Yunji was helpless.
Once upon a time, he actually needed a woman to stand in front of him and protect him.
It's really shameful.
"Xiu Xiu, get out of the way."
"No, Lord Mu, you can't go out." Xiuxiu was not willing to give in. No matter how powerful Lu Yunji was in the past, he probably couldn't even beat her now, let alone deal with Man Yizi.
Going out means death.
Mu Yunji: "...Take me to see your sister, she is in danger."
"Sister is fine, you are the one in danger. I've seen that those people outside are coming for you..."
The two were in a stalemate when the door creaked open.
"Sister...you are finally here." Xiuxiu was surprised and relieved, and handed the man who was as stubborn as an ox to her.
If my sister doesn't come, Mu Yunji will probably fight with her.
When Lu Qingyao entered the room, she saw the two people in a tense situation.
I feel like laughing, but I can't.
Mu Yunji had probably never felt so aggrieved.
He used to be the one who rushed to the front to protect the world, but now he has to hide behind a woman. He must be angry, anxious, ashamed and annoyed.
At this moment, Mu Yunji was like a lion with its fur standing on end.
Lu Qingyao picked up a cloak from the shelf and put it on him, saying soothingly, "Brother Mu, don't worry. There may not be any trouble at the border, but those northern barbarians outside are probably coming for you and the tiger talisman in your hand... As long as you are safe, then all of us will be safe."
The moment he saw Lu Qingyao, Mu Yunji immediately calmed down.
The frizzy hair seemed to smooth out.
I was suddenly shocked.
If the commander-in-chief is killed and the tiger talisman is taken away at this time, something might have happened in the capital.
Moreover, so many northern barbarians sneaked into Cangzhou City at once. I'm afraid someone is colluding with them from inside and outside.
"Yaoyao, there are still spies in this city that haven't been eliminated. I have to leave..."
