sjar Chapter 430 Beauty Trap
Chapter 430 Beauty Trap
Northern barbarians? Tiger tally?
All that trouble was for his tiger tally.
Even if you manage to steal the Tiger Tally, not just anyone can mobilize troops.
The northern barbarians won't do, not even a lowly henchman.
If you take it out, you'll be arrested as a thief.
What can you do with a stolen tiger tally? It can't possibly be used for a legitimate troop mobilization.
It could only be a rebellion.
rebel!
Now, apart from that madman Prince Chen, there's no one else.
I heard from the capital that Prince Chen has killed several princes.
Even King Jing almost fell victim to his poison.
For storage space.
Prince Chen seized military power, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, invited wolves into the house, and even wanted to give Cangzhou to the barbarian bandits.
Do everything to extremes.
He's insane, this guy is a madman.
What would be the consequences if the people of Daliang fell into the hands of the Northern Barbarians?
They treat people like cattle or horses, not like human beings at all.
The Prince of Chen must know this.
A person like him is unfit to be a ruler, and is not even human.
If one day he sits in that position.
I'm afraid he'll have to send all the people of Daliang to be sacrificed, and he'll have to destroy all the cities of Daliang.
This man's death is not a loss.
Lu Qingyao made up her mind that even if it meant death, she would not let the Tiger Seal fall into enemy hands.
"Brother Mu, have you put away your military seal properly?"
Mu Yunji subconsciously touched the object in his arms: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Tiger Tally is here. A few barbarian thieves can't do anything to me, let alone snatch the Tiger Tally from my hands. You stay in the room and act according to the situation. Don't go out."
“But your injuries haven’t fully healed yet…” Lu Qingyao hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
Seeing Mu Yunji's eager and ready stance, it seemed impossible to dissuade him.
I was trying to figure out how to persuade him not to be so stubborn.
If all else fails, we'll have to resort to force...
"Yaoyao, I'm fine now." Mu Yunji looked at Lu Qingyao with a firm gaze.
He knew Yao Yao didn't want him to go.
But the northern barbarians were so arrogant that they were practically right in front of him. How could he just sit and wait to die?
Even if it means his death today, he will protect Yao Yao and the people of Cangzhou.
He picked up the sword on the table, took two steps, then turned back to look at Lu Qingyao, his gaze finally settling on Xiuxiu's face: "Take good care of your older sister."
After saying that, he picked up his sword and prepared to leave, but just as he took a step, Lu Qingyao called out to him, "Brother Mu, wait..."
Mu Yunji stopped, thought for a moment, and uttered only a few words: "Wait for me to come back..."
Lu Qingyao walked over and slowly approached him. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Brother Mu, I've read all the letters you wrote to me... I'll wait for you to come back."
"What letter?" Mu Yunji froze on the spot as soon as he asked the question.
My heart was pounding wildly.
He did write a few letters to Yao Yao.
But they were never given away; they were all buried at the bottom of a box.
His letters, those words buried deep in his heart, those letters that were never sent.
These were all things he couldn't say to Yao Yao.
But how did it end up in Yao Yao's hands?
Who stole his letter?
Mu Yunji looked at Lu Qingyao with reluctance: "That letter... I'll tell you the details when I get back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yunji felt a sharp pain in his neck.
She immediately fainted.
Xiuxiu opened her eyes wide.
She had just thought her sister was going to use her beauty to persuade Lord Mu to leave.
Unexpectedly, they knocked him unconscious in a swift and decisive manner.
"Sister, the Duke will definitely be furious with you when he wakes up."
"Let him get angry, it's better than losing your life." Lu Qingyao supported Mu Yunji, struggling a bit. This guy was really something, his wound was bleeding, yet he was still so stubborn.
He called Xiuxiu over: "Xiuxiu, stop daydreaming, come and help me put him on the bed."
"Sister, what did you say to Lord Mu just now? Why did he have that expression, and why did you manage to catch him off guard so easily?" Xiuxiu asked curiously.
It must be said that the beauty trap that Sister used on Lord Mu was effective.
Otherwise, let alone knocking him unconscious, it would be difficult to even get close to him.
"Cough cough..." Lu Qingyao coughed twice, her cheeks slightly flushed: "No...it's nothing."
She wouldn't have opened the box before bed if she hadn't been so curious about the treasure her second brother had brought her.
You won't see those letters until you open the box.
Without seeing those letters, one would never know that Mu Yunji had fallen deeply in love with her many years ago.
This fool!
Why didn't you say so at the time?
She never imagined that Mu Yunji would fall in love with her, especially so early on.
Mu Yunji is very good.
They were so close that even though they grew up together, they never thought they could have any other thoughts.
They met when they were still relatively unknown.
However, the two families were of vastly different social standing, and Mu Yunji was far too dazzling.
A member of the imperial family, the young master of the Duke's mansion.
He was the Empress Dowager's most beloved nephew, the Crown Prince's study companion, highly regarded by the Emperor, and a man of both literary and martial talents.
He was incredibly popular and exceptionally handsome.
Mu Yunji and Cui Yan, one a scholar and the other a warrior, were known as the Twin Heroes.
They were all sought after by countless noble ladies in the capital.
And she, although she was a young lady from the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
Even though his father and brothers had made great military achievements, they were still looked down upon by those aristocratic families with generations of merit.
Even among nobles, there are different ranks.
The glory accumulated by the Lu family was nothing more than a fleeting moment in the eyes of other prominent families.
Even though her father's official position was no lower than theirs, those so-called noble ladies and scions of prominent families always acted arrogantly in front of her.
Not to mention the possibility of a marriage alliance with the Lu family.
Although Mu Yunji is not that kind of person.
But she had an aunt who was the Empress Dowager.
The women chosen for him were either princesses, county princesses, or noble ladies from prominent families.
She thought Mu Yunji would obey the Empress Dowager's arrangements.
After all, being the mistress of the Duke's mansion and the niece-in-law of the Empress Dowager is not a position that ordinary people can hold.
At that time, she was nothing more than a rough woman who grew up on the frontier.
How did I end up falling for her?
Can't figure it out.
Lu Qingyao felt a little guilty.
It seems that Mu Yunji's continued single status is somewhat related to her.
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside getting closer, Xiuxiu peeked through the crack in the door: "Sister, I think Yu Qikuai can't hold on much longer. Should I go get reinforcements?"
“It’s definitely too late to call for reinforcements, and we don’t know what the situation is at the border. We can only escort Mu Yunji out and get him to the camp, then he’ll be safe.” Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu were discussing this when Yu Qi returned.
He looked rather disheveled, with several cuts on his arms.
With a look of anxiety, he said, "Third Miss, please take my young master and leave quickly. I will cover your retreat."
If they don't leave soon, he really won't be able to hold out much longer.
Only after speaking did she notice her master lying on the bed: "What's wrong, young master?"
"I'm dizzy. Xiuxiu and I will distract them. Yu Qi, you take the Duke and leave first. Go to the military camp to find my brother." Lu Qingyao's tone was firm, brooking no refusal.
Yu Qi grew up with Mu Yunji, who regarded him as a brother.
Those people outside are no ordinary people.
If he had stayed, he would have had no chance of survival.
“Third Miss, if the young master wakes up and finds out that I abandoned you, he will expel me from the Duke’s mansion.” Yu Qi knew how much his young master valued Lu Qingyao.
How could they dare leave someone behind to die?
"Then I'll have to have Xiuxiu knock you out and take you away." Lu Qingyao looked at him; he was just as stubborn as ever.
Yu Qi: "...Alright then, take care, Third Sister..."
The young master has indeed set his sights on someone extraordinary.
They would knock people unconscious and take them away at the drop of a hat.
He met Lady Lu.
Whether the young master will be happy or sad in the days to come is unknown.
Lu Qingyao had Yu Qi change Mu Yunji's clothes into a guard's uniform, and then found a guard of similar build to Mu Yunji to change into his clothes as well.
They then split up to carry out their respective actions.
"Yu Qi, we'll lure them away in a bit. You lead your men out from the back and head straight for the military camp. Remember that..."
