Chapter 151: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (55)
The deputy general beside Long Yichen bowed and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, the Xiongnu warriors are questioning Lord Mu as to why there are so many Dragon Nation troops here."
After hearing this, Long Yichen burst into laughter and said to Mu Ziyi, "Lord Mu, now that the mission is accomplished, you can retire now."
"This is the first time in all these years that we've found the Xiongnu's lair, and it's all thanks to Lord Mu. The Emperor will reward us handsomely when we return this time."
The deputy general beside Long Yichen was also very sensible at this time. He knew that the Huns' men and some of the Huns' princes and nobles could not understand Long Guo's words, so he translated them in time.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Xiongnu princes and nobles all looked as if they wanted to eat Mu Ziyi alive.
The Hun man even broke free from the hands of the soldiers who were holding him, snatched the knife from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and slashed towards Mu Ziyi, saying a lot of gibberish.
Even though Long Yichen didn't understand what he was saying, he knew from the expression on the Xiongnu man's face that it must be something like "I'm going to kill you".
Just when the Hun man was about to chop Mu Ziyi, Long Yichen raised his hand and drew his bow. An arrow shot directly and accurately at the Hun man's knee. The Hun man knelt directly on the ground, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground at the same time.
Long Yichen looked at the knife that fell on the ground with some regret. He knew that Mu Ziyi and Lin Qingqing were both evil. He had known before that Mu Ziyi wanted to plot against his beloved woman.
It's not that he hadn't thought about sending the two men to the west without leaving any trace, but no matter whether it was assassination or poisoning, these two men always managed to turn danger into safety.
This time the Hun man was so close to Mu Ziyi. If it were an ordinary person, at least one arm would have been chopped off. However, the Hun man's knife suddenly fell to the ground when it was about to hit him, and did not hurt Mu Ziyi at all.
The reason why Long Yichen rescued Mu Ziyi when the Hun was about to kill him was simply because he needed Mu Ziyi to verify his guess.
Sure enough, the next moment...
"Mu Ziyi, did you really bring these people here secretly? Have you been lying to me and using me all this time?"
Lin Qingqing looked at Mu Ziyi in front of her heartbroken, unable to believe that he would actually betray her.
Originally, she was carefully cared for by him during the escape, and she thought she had misunderstood him before, and Mu Ziyi still loved her.
However, she never thought that all this was a plan by Mu Ziyi to use her. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. Looking at the man she loved most in front of her, she could not accept this result.
"I didn't, Qingqing, please listen to my explanation."
Mu Ziyi shook his head vigorously to deny it, trying to gain Lin Qingqing's trust.
"Lord Mu, we have already succeeded. You don't need to act anymore at this time."
Seeing that Lin Qingqing was about to believe what Mu Ziyi said, Long Yichen on the side spoke at the right time.
Then Long Yichen looked at Lin Qingqing again, "Lin Qingqing, right? Do you know why we haven't found the Xiongnu base camp for dozens of times, but suddenly found it this time?"
"Of course, it was Lord Mu who took the initiative to approach the court and ask for the throne. In fact, when he found you with amnesia, he knew you were a Xiongnu princess, and he used his beauty to trick you into falling in love with him."
"Finally, I took advantage of your trust and led us to your Xiongnu base camp. Now that Mu Ziyi has made such a great contribution, what noble lady can he ask for when he returns?"
Lin Qingqing looked at Mu Ziyi with red eyes, "Is that so?"
