Chapter 971 - 972 - The Su"er was robbed"Who the h.e.l.l are you people?" The other soldiers all followed him, but it was already too late. Ning Zheyan"s slender silver needles were glowing with a cold light, just like Ning Zheyan"s sinister eyes.
However, the a.s.sa.s.sin took out a piece of paper.
Ning Zheyan received it and looked, the sinister look on her face grew even stronger.
Just as he was about to ask something, the a.s.sa.s.sin"s body had already convulsed and he died from poison.
It was obvious that the other party had already taken the poison before coming here. If he hadn"t taken the antidote within the specified time frame, he would have died from the poison.
The reason they burned the grain was only to lure the tigers out of the mountain. It was to cause chaos in the military camp, so that they could take advantage of the time when Mu Jin went to the granary to take Wei Yuanwei and the Su"er away.
If Ning Zheyan had come later, she was afraid that Wei Yuanwei would also have been taken away by those people.
As Mu Jin held the slip of paper in his hand, his deep eyes became abnormally terrifying.
"What"s written on it?" Cang Chu asked.
Mu Jin slowly raised his head, his gloomy face looked like a devil from h.e.l.l, making people shiver all over.
"Let me go to Black Wind Ridge alone tomorrow."
"Black Wind Ridge? The terrain there is very complicated, with many wild beasts roaming about. There is also a piece of wetland in the swamp, and once a person falls in there, they won"t be able to get out. Xuan Li then explained the terrain of Black Wind Ridge.
That place was dangerous for people who were unfamiliar with the terrain, even if they entered during the day, it would still be dangerous, not to mention at night. Mu Jin was even allowed to go there alone.
"Do you know who did it?" Cang Chu remained calm as he turned to look at Ning Zheyan.
Ning Zheyan shook her head.
"Clearly, the other party already knows of my true ident.i.ty, and also knows that Wei Yuanwei and Su"er are in the camp. Other than Prince An and Prince Lu, there shouldn"t be anyone else." Mu Jin"s words were extremely accurate. "And the people who took away the Su"er and set fire to the granary, are all people from the military camp."
It was simply too easy for the Prince An and Prince Lu to place their people within this fifty thousand strong army.
"This subordinate will immediately bring people to investigate." Xuan Li immediately gritted his teeth and said.
"So what if we find out?" Mu Jin said coldly. His black eyes were filled with a dark ruthlessness and faint traces of blood could be seen flowing out from the depths of his eyes bit by bit.
Cang Chu immediately spoke out: Mu Jin, you have to control your emotions. If you are controlled by the Spirit Orb at this time, what are Wei Yuanwei and Su"er going to do?
The atmosphere in the room became heavy and gloomy, everyone looked at Mu Jin nervously.
When Mu Jin heard Cang Chu"s words, the sinister light in his eyes dimmed a little. Only after a long while did the red line in his eyes recede a little.
"We can only kill Duke Lu and the Prince An." Finally, Mu Jin said those words coldly and harshly.
Xuan Li"s expression did not change, and he said again: "Then this subordinate will immediately notify the top a.s.sa.s.sins in the Clear Water Pavilion, that they will kill Duke Lu and Prince An."
"Do not leave any of the Prince An or people from the Duke Lu Palace behind." Mu Jin said indifferently, but his tone and eyes were filled with bloodl.u.s.t.
Mu Jin"s entire body released a vile aura, causing everyone in the room to tremble, the atmosphere was so heavy that they could not even breathe.
"Yes, your subordinate will go inform them now." Xuan Li turned and walked out of the room.
It was a little risky for Mu Jin to do this right now, but who told Prince An and Prince Lu to be so ungrateful as to actually use Su"er and Wei Yuanwei to threaten Mu Jin. This undoubtedly forced Mu Jin to kill them.
"I"ll go with you tomorrow." Cang Chu said firmly to Mu Jin.
However, at this time, Mu Jin"s eyes were only filled with endless killing and bloodl.u.s.t. He turned a deaf ear to Cang Chu"s words, "No need, you stay in the army."
"No, the reason they let you go there alone is obviously because they want your life. It"s true that Su"er is your daughter, but I watched Su"er grow up and if they want to kill you, they wouldn"t leave you alive either." It could be said that Cang Chu was the calmest person there.
Mu Jin was now completely under the control of his killing intent. His only thought now was to kill these people and save Su"er.
However, Cang Chu was thinking about it even more than Mu Jin, they did not immediately make a move in the camp to explain that they knew that they could not kill Mu Jin in the camp, and thus used this method to lure Mu Jin out.
Ning Zheyan also felt that it would be too risky for Mu Jin to go alone. Furthermore, the other party had obviously found out about Mu Jin"s ident.i.ty, so they wanted to silence him.
"Mu Jin, Zheyan also thinks that it"s too dangerous for you to go there alone!" Ning Zheyan glanced at Cang Chu, and then said to Mu Jin.
Mu Jin"s gaze turned heavy and the hint of blood in his eyes became faintly discernible. It was clear that he was trying to force himself to calm down: "I don"t have any other choice right now."
It could be said that the other party had truly grasped Mu Jin"s weakness. Even if the other party hadn"t set up an ambush at Black Wind Ridge, as long as the other party had Su"er on their hands, Mu Jin wouldn"t have the power to resist.
Cang Chu and Ning Zheyan were about to persuade him again, but Mu Jin directly shouted at them fiercely, "I have the final say here."
In an instant, the room became exceptionally quiet. Ning Zheyan and Cang Chu"s actions when they wanted to speak were forcibly suppressed by Mu Jin"s words.
"Ning Zheyan, help me take care of the Iris. Cang Chu, find out the details of the army as soon as possible." With that, Mu Jin"s tall and long figure quickly left the room.
At this moment, the room was still very quiet. Other than the occasional sound of the wind blowing in, there was only the mournful sound of breathing.
Cang Chu"s eyes were always staring at Mu Jin"s leaving figure, the hands behind his back tightly clenched.
When the Prince An and Prince Lu found out Mu Jin"s true ident.i.ty, they must have wanted to use all sorts of methods to kill him. They definitely could not let Mu Jin return to the Southern Mountain State"s capital safely.
If this happened, their dreams would be shattered.
It was obvious that they wanted to fight to the death by using such an extreme method.
Cang Chu also believed that with Mu Jin"s intelligence, he had his own ideas, but he was most afraid that Mu Jin would not be able to control his emotions. If he was controlled by the Spirit Orb in his body, Mu Jin would become a demon that did not recognize his own kin.
Thinking about that, Cang Chu also quickly left the room.
On the midnight of the second day, Mu Jin punctually appeared at Black Wind Ridge according to the other party"s request. This autumn pa.s.sed through the bushes and sc.r.a.ped people"s faces, and it was as if there was a thorn in their side, causing them to feel pain all over their bodies.
He could still hear the howls of wolves from afar when he listened carefully. The bushes and bushes under the moonlight were like a pair of ghostly hands, baring their fangs at the people who had barged into the Black Wind Ridge; it was absolutely horrifying.
