Chapter 1034: Helpless, Death is Paramount!

's milk and boil it!" Li Laotai hurriedly patted her granddaughter and called her grandson to help. 。The Li family seemed to be turned on by this shout, and they all got up and busy themselves. This...Mu Xu took a step forward, but it was too late.

Two traitorous soldiers had already bitten their tongues, crimson blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, a horrifying sight.

Several soldiers instinctively released their grip, momentarily at a loss.

The two traitors cast a final glance at Mu Xu, their eyes holding a hint of complexity...

Li Lao Si frowned and ordered a few soldiers, "Strip them naked and see if there are any markings on their bodies."

Several soldiers hesitated for a moment, but then quickly got to work.

Unfortunately, both of them were thoroughly examined from head to toe, but there were still no markings on them.

At this time, the detachment that had gone out in pursuit also returned. The captain reported to the general, “General, those hundreds of horsemen ran into the forest and we couldn’t catch them. But we caught the two traitors behind them, but… they both bit their tongues and committed suicide!”

Li Laosi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the two caught here are dead too. These people are indeed loyal, but I wonder if their master will feel sorry for them losing their lives for this."

The lieutenant returned empty-handed and was somewhat annoyed, "Lucky for them, otherwise I would have severely punished them and forced them to reveal the mastermind behind this!"

Mu Xu glanced at the centurion, finding him somewhat familiar. He took another look.

Li Lao Si recalled and introduced them to each other.

This centurion is Jia Dun, Baozhu's cousin.

Then he pointed to Mu Xu and said, "This is the guardian of the county lord, Mu Xu. He just came from Xin Du."

Jia Dun burst into laughter, his eyes gleaming. He exclaimed repeatedly, "Brother Mu, let's have a good chat later. I've been out for several months now and don't know how things are at home."

Mu Xu nodded and smiled, "Good, Jia Gege, your family is doing well, don't worry about it."

Jia Dun breathed a sigh of relief and skipped over to help the soldiers with the water, splashing it on the unconscious transport soldiers one by one.

Then, he led his men into the village and freed the villagers trapped in the courtyard.

The villagers were lucky and none of them were killed.

Li Laosi instructed the soldiers to put clothes on the dead traitor and bury him in a pit.

Several personal guards grumbled, unwillingly saying, “Such bastards, let them rot! Why bother burying them”

"We fought at the front lines, protecting the entire Tianwu's peace. Nobody even expressed gratitude, and now they are trying every means to destroy our supplies. They are simply a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"

Mu Xu casually added, "It's better to bury them properly. These people are also helpless."

Several personal guards remained silent. Death was a grave matter, and they were merely grumbling. No one dared to throw the body here to be exposed to the elements and preyed upon by wild animals...

Li Lao Si narrowed his eyes and motioned for Mu Xu to move farther away. Then, he whispered, "Have you found any clues about the people behind this in Xin Du Do you know who is directing them"

Mu Xu shook his head and nodded, replying, "They caught a few people in the capital, but they were all fools used as decoys. They happened to get into trouble, and I threw a few more people in there. They were all punished together and sent to the southwest to eat sand."

Then, he told them about how Jia Yin and the third princess were stopped at the palace gate.

Li Laosi was indeed furious, "These dogs, taking advantage of my absence to bully my daughter! When I get back, I'll shoot one by one and nail them to the city wall!"

Mu Xu quickly smiled and said, "Master Four, please rest assured, they have already been punished. They will have to serve hard labor for the rest of their lives, which is basically like being dead."

Li Lao Si reluctantly suppressed his anger and asked, "You're a clever one. Tell me, have you made any other discoveries"

Mu Xu pointed at the two traitors, his voice barely a whisper. "Master Si, these people thought we were all unconscious and gathered together to discuss something. I overheard that two of them had accents from Southwest Fancheng."

"The place where I learned my craft was right next to Fan City, so I'm very familiar with it and wouldn't mistake it."

Fánchéng

Li Laosi's face was full of confusion, "This Fan City sounds so familiar... well..."

He suddenly widened his eyes, "You're saying... no way!"

Mu Xu shrugged and sneered, "Why is that impossible Anything is possible! It all depends on whether it's beneficial or not!"

Li Lao Si disagreed, "This matter is serious, I need to report it to the Marquis. Besides, there's no reason for them to target our Northern Expeditionary Army..."

Mu Xu didn't say anything more, only saying, "I'll go with you to see the Marquis. When the time comes, I'll tell you one thing, and you won't feel this way."

Li Lao Si was about to ask again, but his question was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Mu brother! Mu brother!" It turned out that Wu Da's mouth and the others had been saved. Wu Da's mouth still remembered this little brother, Mu Xu, and started shouting from car to car.

After instructing Lao Si, Mu Xu strode forward.

"Wu Gege, I'm here!"

Wu Dazi stared blankly at the mischievous and brilliant young man smiling before him, momentarily stunned.

They wear the same clothes and speak with the same voice, but their appearances are completely different.

"Mu Xu pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother Mu, I'm the Marquis's guard. This time, I disguised myself to travel with the grain convoy, just to protect it safely. I concealed some things before for the mission, please don't be angry, Brother Wu."

"I'm not angry at all!" Wu Dazui slapped Mu Xu on the shoulder and grinned, showing a mouthful of big white teeth.

"You're quite something, aren't you A guard for the Marquis! I told you there was something different about you, didn't expect you to be this capable! I thought those bandits who stole grain had killed you earlier, and I was even afraid that you were..."

His words remained unspoken, but Mu Xu understood.

After all, before everyone fainted, he found an excuse to leave, and it's understandable that he would be suspected of being a traitor.

"Haha, don't worry Wu Gege, I could never be the mole. I've been taken care of by you along the way. So, when you get back to Xin Du and have some free time, leave a message at Xianke Lai Restaurant. I'll definitely find you and treat you to the best wine and dishes there. We can have a good feast."

"Haha, great! I know Xian Kele Lai, that's the most expensive and delicious restaurant! Big brother will definitely join you guys and have a good time!" Wu Da Zui was a big talker, his skills weren't that great, but he was truly loyal and generous.

Now that his little brother is fine and they even made plans to drink together later, he was overjoyed and his heart bloomed with happiness...

Soon, the convoy was tidied up and back on the road.

Here, over three hundred miles away from the Northern Expeditionary Army's camp, everyone traveled day and night. In four days, they arrived...

Again, speaking of the New City, this year because of the drought, the grain harvest is certainly going to be reduced. Both inside and outside the city, there's a sense of oppression, and life seems to have lost much of its vitality.

Her visit to the palace for a banquet and subsequent tearful departure caused quite a stir in the new capital, providing much amusement for several days.

Opinions on this matter are also mixed.

But Princess Kangle wasn't easy to fool; everyone had this understanding etched in their hearts.

All the fathers of daughters in town privately gave their daughters a long lecture, just in case they ever met her, to absolutely avoid provoking County Princess Kang Le.

Those with sons at home, they even keep their minds in check. A daughter-in-law who is this capable cannot be married! Be careful, a new daughter-in-law entering the house might choke your whole family...holding a child for the first time and was unfamiliar with it, almost dropping him.Mrs. Zhou instinctively took the swaddle, gently patting the surprised child.The child was well-behaved, their mouth...
