Whoosh!
Li Wuyou brushed past like a gust of wind and landed in front of everyone.
At this very moment, all of the guards seemed to have turned into zombies. They just stood there without moving, and their eyes seemed to have lost all of their luster.
He was like a lifeless statue, without any expression or movement.
Only the few horses were still agile. They blinked their eyes and observed everything around them. When they saw Li Wuyou, they paused for a moment and their eyes widened.
They also lost their color.
All of them were attacked by Li Wuyou.
He did not use his strength but his soul attack.
Li Wuyou had obtained everything in the Heavenly Arcana Realm, and he had also pried into the memories of the two old men from the Heavenly Arcana Sect. Therefore, he knew everything about the Heavenly Arcana Sect like the back of his hand.
He also learned some methods of soul attack.
This was something he had specially prepared for Morton and all of Morton's guards and attendants.
He wanted to create an illusion so that everyone would think that they were going to the Xiong Family. They would not experience what they had experienced before, but something terrifying. What was more terrifying was that it involved the future of the grassland.
It would completely cause a conflict between the grassland and the Xiong Family.
Whoosh!
A faint wind blew past, stirring up a violent sandstorm on the ground. Dust swirled and fell on everyone's body. At the same time, Li Wuyou's Spirit also covered everyone's body and invaded through the space between their eyebrows.
Boom!
At this moment, he entered the consciousness of Morton and the others. He used some method of the Heavenly Mystery Sect to connect everyone's souls together.
Everyone entered the same illusory realm, and the game began.
Li Wuyou stood at the top of the sky and watched everything slowly, directing it to happen.
The scene of this illusion was in the Xiong family's mansion. It was as red as blood everywhere, with red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There were all kinds of red carpets everywhere. The whole place looked like a real red world.
The maidservants all had joyous expressions on their faces, and the servants were also dressed in festive clothes.
The entire Xiong Family was filled with laughter, making people feel that it was a very lively scene.
At this time, Morton and Xiong Chengde were discussing some matters. In the pavilion, the two of them were discussing the marriage of Xiong Dai and Hu Du, including some details.
Also, after the marriage, the contact between the grassland and Guanlong, the direction of further development, and so on.
Everything was normal.
However, one of the guards on the grassland left his original position because he was in a hurry to relieve himself. Then, he walked in the direction of the Xiong family's backyard.
He walked to the outhouse and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly went in.
On the other side of the latrine, there were two guards from the Xiong family. They were also illusions arranged by Li Wuyou. The two of them were smoking tobacco pipes and slowly exhaling smoke. At the same time, they were talking about the conspiracy of this marriage.
"Those idiots on the grassland are still so happy to discuss marriage and future development with Old Ye? They must be out of their minds. I'm afraid they don't know that our Old Master has already contacted the East Faction Guards. "
"When Hu Du brings the bridal escort team over, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Old Master's move is really amazing. According to the customs of the grassland, when they escort the bride, they will bring most of the tribe's nobles and relatives. They are all the backbone of the tribe."
"When these people come over, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop. At that time, their tribe will fall apart and be completely finished. It will definitely be a mess."
"Yes, our Guanlong Army is already prepared. We'll take this opportunity to kill our way over and completely defeat the grassland tribes. They won't be able to recover for decades, or even centuries."
"These bastards deserve to die."
"They want to marry our Prime Minister's daughter? That's just wishful thinking. At most, we'll give them a bitch and let them give birth to a bunch of puppies."
"Haha …"
After the two guards finished speaking, they prepared to leave. They did not realize that someone was listening to them in the latrine. At this time, the guard in the latrine was so shocked that he could not be any more shocked.
His eyes widened. His heart was filled with anger and hatred. It was as if he was about to explode.
It turned out that everything was a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy to get rid of the grassland tribes.
He carefully listened to the footsteps of the two guards as they left. Then, he pushed open the latrine door and left as fast as he could. He returned to the team and was prepared to find time to report to Morton.
He returned to the team of guards and waited anxiously.
Soon, Morton and Xiong Chengde finished talking. Then, Xiong Chengde enthusiastically sent Morton back to his residence and arranged for some guards to stand guard around their residence.
They called it protection, but in fact, they were monitoring and controlling them.
They were not allowed to walk around so that they would not notice the changes in Taiyuan City.
Morton did not suspect anything. At this time, he was fantasizing about the beautiful future of the grassland.
Through this marriage, the grassland would officially become one with Guanlong. At that time, the people of the grassland would communicate and integrate with Guanlong faster. Life on the grassland would also improve in the fastest way.
Morton was looking forward to it.
At the same time, he was looking forward to Xiong Dai marrying into the grassland and bringing glory to the people of the grassland.
After all, the Xiong family was also very noble to the people of the grassland. Moreover, if the Xiong family rose up in the future and took the Great Zhou Dynasty into their hands, it would be even more perfect.
It was equivalent to marrying a princess on the grassland. It was even more noble and glorious.
It could also bring more security to the grassland.
The development of the grassland would also be more perfect and faster.
Morton was very happy. He even planned to drink a little wine to celebrate. All of this was facilitated by him. He had made countless sacrifices and efforts for the people of the grassland.
He should leave his name in the history of the grassland, right?
"Chief Morton, something bad has happened."
However, just when Morton was excited and full of expectations for the future, the guard who had heard the secret of the Xiong family ran to Morton in a hurry and said hurriedly.
"The marriage of the Xiong family is a conspiracy. They don't really want to marry our grassland tribes. Let's run away quickly!"
"What did you say?"
When Morton heard the guard's words, he immediately frowned. A trace of unconcealable nervousness appeared on his face, but more than that, there was some disbelief.
He couldn't believe that things would turn out like this. He had to make this person explain it clearly.
What the hell was going on?
"It's like this."
The guard told Morton everything that he had heard in the latrine in full detail.
When Morton heard these words, the expression on his face gradually became dignified. There was anger and indescribable resentment. He was even going crazy.
A conspiracy?
Everything was a conspiracy?
The Xiong family had already contacted the Eastern Department and joined forces to attack the grassland?
They wanted to completely destroy the grassland?
No wonder when Morton came here, he saw the shadows of the people from the Eastern Department. At that time, he was a little puzzled. Why would the people from the Eastern Department come all the way here from Chang 'an City?
So that was it!
Morton suddenly stood up from his seat.
His eyes flashed with gloom and madness. There was even a hint of murderous intent in them.
"How dare they have designs on our grassland. They deserve to die!"
"This group of bastards. On the surface, they want to ally with our grassland, but behind our backs, they want to destroy our grassland. This group of Han dogs is too abominable. They really deserve to die!"
"Bastards!"
Morton's expression became exceptionally ferocious, and even a little crazy.
He had rushed over from the grassland. He had given up almost everything he had, including his honor, just to fight for a future for the grassland. He wanted the people of the grassland to live and work in peace in the future.
However, he had never thought that the result he wanted was a huge conspiracy.
A scam.
These Han people, these bastards from Taiyuan City, this guy called Xiong Chengde, had secretly colluded with the Eastern Department to destroy everything in the grassland.
They wanted to turn the grassland into a chaotic situation like before.
They wanted the grassland to be the captives of the Great Zhou Dynasty forever and be suppressed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. They didn't want to give the people of the grassland a real chance to rise!
This was really abominable!
"Let's go. We'll leave now and hurry back to the grassland. After we return, we'll inform the Chief Chanyu of this matter. We'll bring our grassland cavalry over on the day of the wedding and kill all these bastards from the Great Zhou Dynasty. We'll wash Taiyuan City with blood!"
"Since the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't plan to let us have an easy time, then we won't have an easy time. We'll completely break off relations with them!"
An indescribable ferociousness appeared on Morton's face. There was also a hint of unconcealable awe. He clenched his fists so hard that thick veins appeared on his hands.
It was exceptionally ferocious.
Morton was really shocked by this news. It even ignited all his anger. His life's dream, all his wishes, was to integrate with the Great Zhou Dynasty. He wanted to integrate the Han people and the tribes of the grassland. He wanted to integrate the cultures of both sides, and then lead the people of the grassland onto the right path of life.
He wanted to live a nomadic life that depended on the heavens to make a living.
He wanted to give birth to his own cultural heritage.
However, there was nothing he could do about all of this.
All of his dreams, all of his everything, had been completely destroyed.
He had sacrificed so much, but he had fallen into someone else's scheme?
He had almost buried the future of the entire grassland.
It would have even brought a great threat to the grassland, and it would have been destroyed for decades or even centuries. This was simply an unimaginable horror.
Morton was about to lose control of his emotions.
He wanted to leave immediately. Then, he would bring the soldiers from the grasslands to kill his way back. Only by bathing Sourcepeak City in blood could the scar in his heart be completely removed.
Only in this way could he vent his anger.
He must wash Taiyuan City with blood.
Crash!
"Who's there?"
Just as Morton and his subordinates were discussing this matter, a sudden crash came from outside the door. It was as if something had fallen to the ground and shattered.
The faces of Morton and the others changed in an instant, and then they quickly ran outside. With a bang, a guard directly slammed the door open.
As wood chips flew, they also saw the situation outside.
On the ground not far from the door, there was a scattered plate. Around the plate were broken porcelain. These were teacups, teapots, and other things. Someone must have just sent things here and happened to hear their conversation.
In this way, this matter was about to be exposed.
"Go, do everything possible to catch that person and kill her!"
"Hurry up and pack your things and leave Taiyuan City as soon as possible. Don't let that old bastard Xiong Chengde catch you!"
Morton's face was indescribably ferocious and gloomy. He turned his head and loudly ordered the people behind him. Everyone could also feel this kind of threat.
They frantically scattered into the distance.
Two of the guards followed the escape route to catch the escaping maidservant, while most of the remaining guards were busy packing up and preparing to escape.
Very quickly, these people had already packed up their things. They only packed up some simple things, but they were all necessities. As for the messy personal belongings, they threw them out.
At this critical moment, protecting one's own life was the most important thing. Those worldly possessions were not important.
Very quickly, the group of people gathered at the back door of the Prime Minister's residence. The two men who were in charge of capturing the servant girl also quickly rushed back. They found the servant girl and killed her.
Therefore, everything was considered safe. The news was not exposed.
"Since the news hasn't been leaked, then there's still a chance to hide it from Xiong Chengde. Go and report that Chanyu's mother has suddenly fallen seriously ill and is in danger of dying. Chanyu has ordered me to hurry back and take charge."
"I left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to say goodbye to Xiong Xiangguo."
"Try to be as tactful as possible. Don't let Xiong Chengde find out that there is a problem. We have to hurry back to the grasslands and discuss the next plan with the Prime Minister!"
Morton whispered to the young guard beside him.
"Yes!"
"Please rest assured, Chief Morton. We will complete the mission!"
The young guard took a deep breath, then turned around and ran into the Xiong residence. On the other side, Morton and the others quickly boarded the carriage and rushed into the distance.
