Late at night
Yaoji was sitting in the tent reading a book. Mu Lie had already fallen asleep. Mu Yang led the troops to intercept Lv Jinxian. These few days, because of the matter of the spies, the control of the entire military camp had become very strict. Even the hidden guards of Prince Ding's fu found it hard to find an opportunity to pass on any information. Yaoji understood that if this continued, it was only a matter of time before the old Marquis Muyang found out her and Mu Lie's identity. After all, they were the ones who shouldn't have appeared in the entire military camp. Unreasonable things were naturally the easiest to arouse suspicion.
A cold wind blew at the entrance of the tent. Yaoji raised her head and saw Qin Feng in black standing at the entrance. She was startled and didn't have time to say anything. She grabbed Qin Feng and walked inside. Mu Lie, who was sleeping inside, opened his eyes the moment Qin Feng came in. He turned over and got off the bed, "Godfather, why are you here?" Qin Feng raised his hand and patted Mu Lie's little head, "You are in danger now. I will take you out of here."
Yaoji frowned, "But …" Yaoji understood that Qin Feng's arrival might be the princess's idea. But if she couldn't complete the task given by Prince Ding, not only her, but even Mu Lie and Qin Feng would be in trouble. Qin Feng looked at her with understanding, "Go and deal with Mu Yang now. Marquis Muyang will soon suspect you. If you continue to stay here, not only will you be in danger, the Shadow Guard hidden in the military will also be a threat."
Mu Lie nodded and started to pack up his things. In fact, there was nothing to pack. Although they brought a lot of things with Mu Yang, there was almost nothing to take away. Yaoji nodded and frowned worriedly, "The entire military camp is under martial law now. How can we get out? Besides … "If she and Mu Lie suddenly disappeared from the army, Marquis Muyang would immediately suspect them.
Qin Feng smiled faintly, "Since you can come in, you can naturally go out. We have no choice but to leave now, Marquis Muyang will definitely suspect you. "Mu Lie pulled Yaoji's hand and said in a deep voice," Mother, let's go. Once we're done here, we'll be able to return to Glass City. "Yaoji was startled, and her expression also changed slightly. That's right, as long as they were done here, they could return to Glass City. Mu Lie no longer needed a child to follow him around all day in fear. He could even see his son.
"Let's go!"
Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction. Soon, there were noises of people shouting to catch the assassin, and they could feel that they were coming over. Qin Feng grabbed Yaoji and pretended to be Mu Yang who was holding her hostage. He then threw Mu Lie to the Mohist army Shadow Guard waiting outside the tent. In the eyes of outsiders, it was as if the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion had been discovered and were chased here by the Chu Army to kidnap Yaoji and her son.
After all, Mu Lie was the only grandson of the Marquis Muyang Residence. The Chu Army did not dare to be too heavy-handed. It was inevitable that their hands and feet were tied. When Old Marquis Muyang arrived, Qin Feng and the others had already rushed to the periphery of the Chu Army's camp with Yaoji. Old Marquis Muyang deeply understood that ever since the expedition, everything had gone wrong. Mu Yang's crushing defeat to Lu Jinxian made Mo Jingli extremely disappointed in the Marquis Muyang Residence. If the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion were to escape because of Yaoji and Mu Lie, the Marquis Muyang Residence would really be unlucky. Moreover, Marquis Muyang also had some doubts in his heart. How could it be so coincidental that the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion would kidnap Yaoji?
Seeing this situation, Old Marquis Muyang made a prompt decision and shouted sternly, "Catch the assassin at all costs!"
"Grandfather …" Mu Lie was held in the arms of the Shadow Guard and cried out with a sobbing tone. Old Marquis Muyang's heart trembled. In the end, he hardened his heart and said, "Release the arrows!" Mu Lie was his only grandson, but when it concerned the survival of the entire Marquis Muyang Residence, Old Marquis Muyang Residence did not hesitate to abandon this grandson. As long as the Marquis Muyang Residence was still around, as long as Mu Yang was still around, naturally, he would still have a grandson in the future.
Long arrows shot towards Qin Feng and the others like rain, but at this time, they were already outside the Chu Army's camp. Moreover, the people who came with Qin Feng were the elites of the Qi Lin. After a while, everyone disappeared into the night.
Old Marquis Muyang Residence stared in the direction where the black-clothed men disappeared in a daze for a long time. After so many years together, Old Marquis Muyang Residence still doted on Mu Lie very much. Although he abandoned him for the sake of the Marquis Muyang Residence, it did not mean that he did not feel heartache. Now, he only hoped that the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion would not disregard human life and would leave him a way out.
"Old Marquis, His Majesty summons you." Behind him, the imperial bodyguard hurried over and said in a deep voice.
Old Marquis Muyang Residence sighed, nodded and turned to head towards Mo Jingli's tent.
In the tent, Mo Jingli stared at Old Marquis Muyang Residence and asked, "Has the spy been caught?" Old Marquis Muyang Residence lowered his head and said, "The spy has escaped, please punish me, His Majesty." Mo Jingli's face darkened, but he did not flare up. He only said lightly, "I heard that Marquis Muyang Residence's wife and child were taken away by assassins?"
Old Marquis Muyang Residence nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo Jingli stared coldly at Old Marquis Muyang Residence and asked, "What does Old Marquis Muyang Residence think about the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion?" Old Marquis Muyang Residence was stunned, he did not understand the meaning of Mo Jingli's words. Mo Jingli continued, "What a coincidence … … Marquis Muyang Residence's military plan was leaked, tonight … … the spies of the Prince Ding Mansion happened to kidnap Marquis Muyang Residence's wife and child. In addition, if they wanted to kidnap, wouldn't it be more convenient to just take away the Little Heir? I really don't understand, what's the value of them taking away a concubine who used to be a dancer? Old Marquis, what do you think? "
Hearing Mo Jingli's words, Old Marquis Muyang Residence only felt his heartbeat quicken, his forehead instantly covered in dense cold sweat. The Emperor actually suspected that Yaoji was the Prince Ding Mansion's spy. If the Emperor took it seriously, then Marquis Muyang Residence would really be finished.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise! Marquis Muyang Residence is loyal and devoted to Da Chu State. "With a plop, Old Marquis Muyang Residence knelt on the ground and said hurriedly. Mo Jingli lightly snorted and said, "Get up. I was just a little curious. You must continue to investigate the Prince Ding Mansion's spy. If there are any more leaks of information, I will definitely execute them without mercy! "
"Yes, this official accepts the order!" Old Marquis Muyang Residence breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded. However, he was shocked and made up his mind to investigate this matter thoroughly. If there really was a problem with that Yaoji, then he would have a plan to deal with it.
Just as Mo Jingli's mood was extremely bad, there was an endless stream of even worse news coming in. Early in the morning, Mo Jingli had just gotten up and didn't even have time to eat breakfast when an urgent report came in from outside. "Reporting to the Emperor, the four troops our army arranged in the dark have been attacked one after another by the Mohist army and have suffered heavy losses!"
"What?!" Mo Jingli, who was just about to eat, accidentally knocked over the soup bowl on the table. He suddenly stood up and said, "Summon all generals for an audience!" After receiving the order, all the generals in the Chu Army's camp hurriedly rushed over in a short while. Seeing Mo Jingli's expression, everyone knew that something bad had happened. They were afraid that something big had happened.
