Mu Qingwu angrily rushed in front of Bai Yanqing. "Enough! Don't say any more! I won't believe you! Long Fei Ye isn't that kind of person! "
This was probably the first time Mu Qingwu had called out the name "Long Fei Ye" so loudly.
Before Tianning's internal strife, he had always respectfully called Long Fei Ye "Your Highness Duke of Qin" in front of and behind his back. After Long Fei Ye's true identity was revealed, he and Long Tianmo both respectfully called Long Fei Ye "East Qin Crown Prince".
That man, that monarch, that crown prince, had always been the most revered and respected person in his heart.
Mu Qingwu would never believe that Long Fei Ye would do something so inhumane. It wouldn't be difficult for East Qin's soldiers to conquer Tian An. In fact, when Long Fei Ye personally led his troops, many of Tian An's cities surrendered on their own accord.
Long Fei Ye had no reason to do something so cruel. Moreover, he wasn't stupid enough to leave a black mark for the people of the world and the historians to condemn!
Bai Yanqing allowed Mu Qingwu to close in on him. He calmly stood up and smiled. "Do you know why Long Fei Ye massacred the Mu family?"
Mu Qingwu immediately backed away. "I definitely won't believe that. You don't need to say anything more! If you want to kill me, then do as you please! "
He turned his back and covered his ears.
He wasn't stupid!
Bai Yanqing had imprisoned him for so long without asking him anything. Now he was suddenly telling him so many things. He wanted him to resent Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi and drive a wedge between them.
Earlier, he had heard two female voices. One of them was a child's voice that he recognized. It was the girl who served Han Yunxi, Su Xiaoyu.
He did not know what Bai Yanqing had forced the child to do or what he had done to the child, but he was not afraid!
He, Mu Qingwu, had always been upright and upright. He had never done anything wrong, and he would never do it!
Bai Yanqing walked over step by step. He went around to Mu Qingwu and stuffed two bundles of gunpowder into Mu Qingwu's hands.
Mu Qingwu was shocked. What was Bai Yanqing trying to do?
It must be known that no matter how good one's martial arts were, it would be difficult for them to escape from gunpowder!
Bai Yanqing came to him and provoked him to hate Long Fei Ye. What did he want from him? Gunpowder was not easy to obtain. Only the military had it. Moreover, the military did not have a lot of it, and they controlled it very strictly.
Ning Cheng had the Red Barbarian Cannon, but he did not have a lot of gunpowder. Therefore, he could not conquer the world. Where did Bai Yanqing get these two bundles of gunpowder? How many did he have?
Countless questions flashed through Mu Qingwu's mind. Was Bai Yanqing using him to deal with Long Fei Ye?
Mu Qingwu's eyes flashed with a complicated look. He quickly threw the gunpowder to Bai Yanqing. "What are you trying to do?"
"Young General, if you don't believe me, I'll give you a chance to go to Tian An Imperial City and take a look! As long as you help me do one thing. "Bai Yanqing's eyes flashed with a sinister look.
"Can you let me go?" Mu Qingwu asked anxiously.
"Haha, it seems that you really want to see those heads in person." Bai Yanqing sneered.
"You!"
Mu Qingwu looked at Bai Yanqing for a long time. He seemed to be hesitating, but in fact, he already had a plan in mind.
Back then, he'd pretended to join the Eastern Palace to help Han Yunxi investigate the matter of the disaster relief grain. But he hadn't been of any help at all. Instead, Han Yunxi had misunderstood him from then on and didn't treat him kindly.
Although he had never explained it, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Today might be another chance.
After pretending to hesitate for a long time, Mu Qingwu finally said, "What do you want me to do? Bai Yanqing did not throw the gunpowder to Mu Qingwu again. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Come with me."
He turned and walked out of the stone room, leaving Mu Qingwu standing there alone. After he left, the stone door slowly closed. Mu Qingwu knew that Bai Yanqing did not give him much time to think. Once the stone door closed, he would not have another chance.
However, Bai Yanqing had no other choice. Besides Mu Qingwu, he only had Duanmu Yao. Compared to Mu Qingwu, he trusted Duanmu Yao more. Unfortunately, Duanmu Yao could not help him complete this task.
Thus, he could only take a gamble.
Just as the stone door was about to close, Mu Qingwu suddenly rushed out.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mu Qingwu asked Cold.
Bai Yanqing smiled but did not say anything. He personally helped Mu Qingwu open his outer robe and tied the gunpowder to him. Then, he turned and left.
A trace of unease flitted across Mu Qingwu's eyes. He turned and chased after him.
Bai Yanqing brought him to a fork in the road. "In a moment, I'll lure Long Fei Ye and the others here. Wait here and tell them that I ran this way."
Mu Qingwu grew alarmed. "Long Fei Ye and the others are here too?"
If the East Qin crown prince is here, then what about the princess? Did she come with him? Are they here to save Su Xiaoyu?
Bai Yanqing smiled. "Old Man has brought the people who killed your father and sister to you."
Mu Qingwu gave a cold snort. "They won't believe me, especially the Western Qin princess. We've long stopped being friends …"
"Don't worry, they'll definitely believe you as long as you do as I say." As Bai Yanqing spoke, he stroked the gunpowder hidden in Mu Qingwu's stomach and back to make sure it was securely tied.
Mu Qingwu looked towards the path Bai Yanqing had pointed out, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. He guessed that the path was either filled with traps or gunpowder.
Everyone in Cloud Realm Continent knew that Bai Yanqing had an undying body, so Mu Qingwu naturally knew as well. Mu Qingwu couldn't figure out why Bai Yanqing would go through so much trouble to deal with the princess and the rest.
"Young General, let's make a deal. If you try to trick the Old Man, the Old Man will burn you to smithereens!" Bai Yanqing grinned.
As soon as Bai Yanqing tied the gunpowder to Mu Qingwu's stomach and back, Mu Qingwu knew that Bai Yanqing was going to threaten him.
"Let's make a deal. If you go back on your word, I, Mu Qingwu, won't let you off even if I become a ghost!" Mu Qingwu said Coldly.
"Don't worry," Bai Yanqing's face was full of confidence.
He turned on the switch and brought Mu Qingwu to a stone room on the side. Then he fed him a poison pill before pressing it against his ear.
Mu Qingwu nodded. He assumed that Bai Yanqing would leave, but Bai Yanqing didn't budge from his spot to sit with him.
Mu Qingwu really didn't understand. Wasn't Bai Yanqing supposed to lure the princess and the rest here?
Why was he just sitting there without moving?
After a while, Mu Qingwu finally spoke up. "Weren't you going to lure them here?"
"Don't worry. The princess of Western Qin is the most gifted genius in the history of our Poison Sect. She'll definitely find her way here and know you've been poisoned," Bai Yanqing was confident.
Mu Qingwu was even more bewildered, but he didn't ask any questions.
At the same time, Han Yunxi and the others were still searching for Bai Yanqing in the secret room. They'd used a secret passage to reach the highest floor, then searched all the way down.
Han Yunxi hadn't reached the third level yet, so her telepathy with Lil Thing was still a bit weak. Lil Thing's senses were better than hers, so she had to be very close to sense its exact location.
They searched all over the place, but still couldn't find Bai Yanqing.
By the time Han Yunxi's group reached the second floor, they'd just turned a corner when Han Yunxi told them to stop.
"There's poison! Someone's been poisoned, "Han Yunxi said in a low voice.
"Who else could be poisoned here?" Gu asked suspiciously.
"The young general of the Mu family, Mu Qingwu," Gu Beiyue said seriously. "Duanmu Yao, who kidnapped the Third Venerated Lord, should be with Bai Yanqing as well."
"Bai Yanqing wouldn't even let his own subordinates off. Who knows who he'd poison? Let's go take a look first! "Han Yunxi said.
"Could it be a trap?" Long Fei Ye pulled her back.
"A trap is even better. We'll beat them at their own game!" Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She couldn't wait for Bai Yanqing to be waiting for them there.
"Poison Lass, which way?" Gu hurriedly asked.
"To the right. There's still some distance left," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Gu immediately ran to the front to clear the path. Gu Beiyue said in a low voice, "This is a long path. There's a fork in the road about half a li away. There's a stone room at the side of the fork, and there's a secret passage at the top of the stone room that leads to another stone room. We'll probably encounter a trap about twenty steps ahead. Everyone, be careful. "
Long Fei Ye commented, "Your memory's not bad."
Gu Beiyue smiled. "Your Highness, please don't laugh at me."
Gu Beiyue walked behind Gu, while Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye followed behind. The four of them walked very slowly, moving forward silently.
As they got closer, Han Yunxi came to a conclusion based on her judgment of the maze's layout and the detoxification system's feedback.
She said in a low voice, "The poisoned person is in the stone room. The poison should be acting up soon. I can detoxify the poison, but we're still a little far away. I can't tell when the poisoning will happen. "
They were in the tunnel. There was still some distance between them and the stone room, but there was no place to hide.
"There's no trap from here to the fork in the road ahead. There's only a secret passage at the top of the stone room. The fork in the road ahead is safe in both directions, "Long Fei Ye said in a low voice.
In other words, other than the secret passage at the top of the stone room, there were no other traps in this part of the maze that could trap them. If Bai Yanqing had an ambush, it would be here.
Gu also remembered all the mechanisms in the maze clearly. He said, "That secret passage has two mechanisms, both inside and outside. I'll be in charge of keeping an eye on it. I'll leave the person in the stone room to you guys. "Gu said as he walked forward.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of them. Someone fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, Han Yunxi said in a low voice, "The poison is acting up. The poisoned person is in danger."
Everyone sped up and walked forward. Soon, they saw the stone room's door open in the distance. Mu Qingwu was crawling out of the door bit by bit. His face was pale, and there was black blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Mu Qingwu!" Han Yunxi was still a little surprised. She didn't expect to see this young general again under such circumstances.
Bai Yanqing had just left not long ago, so Mu Qingwu didn't know where he went. However, he knew that Bai Yanqing must be secretly watching him. Bai Yanqing had just taught him a set of words to deceive Han Yunxi and the others. If he didn't follow Bai Yanqing's instructions, the gunpowder in his stomach would explode at any time.
How would he choose?
