Chapter 271 - Deception
"Which one?"
"It's the emperor's mount! If you don't let me in, and the emperor finds out there's something wrong with his mount, can you afford it?"
The two soldiers were stunned by Mu Ziyan's trick and all their attention was focused on her. Feng Muyan took the opportunity to sneak into the tent and cast an admiring look at Mu Ziyan before lowering the tent curtain. His Li'er was truly a talent who could come up with such a bad idea.
As soon as he entered the military tent, Feng Muyan frowned at the strong smell of alcohol. The general actually got himself drunk to this extent on the front line. Gu Liuqing really took the lives of his soldiers as a joke. If the Nanyue army launched a surprise attack at this time, wouldn't they be leaderless and waiting to be wiped out?
After searching for a while, he found two secret letters and a map under Gu Liuqing's pillow. Feng Muyan glanced at them quickly and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was just as he expected. There was no suspense or challenge at all, which made him waste his time coming here in vain.
Feng Muyan glanced at the unconscious Gu Liuqing, clenched his fist and rushed forward, but just when he was about to hit him in the chest, he stopped abruptly. If he killed Gu Liuqing like this, what would Li'er think of him? After all, Gu Liuqing had saved her before.
"Ah! If you don't let me in, if something happens to the Emperor's mount, you..."
Feng Muyan knew that this was a secret signal from Li'er, so he withdrew his hand, turned around and quickly rushed out of the tent.
After Mu Ziyan left, the two soldiers guarding the gate whispered to each other in confusion.
"Brother, do you see the difference between that horse manure and normal horse manure?"
"No!"
"It may be due to specialization. We are not horse breeders, so we can't tell."
"Maybe, we should just guard the gate properly."
After Feng Muyan and Mu Ziyan left, they headed straight for the military tent where Song Yuntian was imprisoned. They wanted to use the same method to lure the guards away, but they didn't expect to see Gu Qinghong from a distance. It might be possible that others couldn't see through their disguise, but Gu Qinghong would definitely be able to see through them. With no choice, they immediately turned around and headed towards the kitchen. "Li'er, you get out first, and I'll take care of Yuntian."
"No, if we're going to leave, let's go together! You said you wouldn't throw it away..."
"Li'er, listen to me. You go out first and hide not far away so that we can come to pick you up later. If we don't get out before tomorrow morning, you must hurry back to the palace to ask for help. Do you understand?" Feng Muyan said while gently shaking her shoulders. There was a rare tone of irresistibility and command in his voice.
Finally, unable to persuade Feng Muyan, Mu Ziyan sneaked out under the pretext of going out to buy crude salt, and waited in a tea stall two miles away from Chu Nan’s military camp.
Time passed in a flash, and as the sky was about to brighten, Mu Ziyan's heart sank little by little.
"Young man, you have been sitting here all night. Are you waiting for someone?" The enthusiastic old man picked up the teapot and filled another cup of tea for Mu Ziyan.
"Thank you, old man. I am waiting for my brothers to come home with me."
"It's the war that has brought suffering to the people. Some have fled and some have scattered!" The old man sighed and left.
Mu Ziyan lowered her head slightly and took a sip of tea. Suddenly, she felt someone patting her shoulder. She thought it was the old man who had returned, so she turned around and bowed, "Old man, you..."
"Li'er, when did your big brother become an old man?" Song Yuntian flicked Mu Ziyan's forehead jokingly, but he didn't expect the other party's eyes to turn red in an instant. He was frightened and couldn't help but glance at Feng Muyan beside him. Sure enough, his face had turned black. He immediately groaned in his heart. He didn't mean to make Li'er sad!
