Chapter 1089: The Worst-Case Scenario Happened!

Ask Grandma!"Grandma Li glared at her granddaughter but ultimately couldn't bear to spoil the moment, replying, "Fu Niu did indeed help me out."Having said that, she beckoned her daughter-in-law, "Co...As soon as Mu Xi loosened the waist belt, he immediately jumped off his horse and lay down on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Yeh Shan tethered his horse and sat beside it, panting heavily.

He patted Mu Xu on the shoulder and smiled, "Thank you, Guard Mu, this time thanks to you, otherwise I would have been caught by those people." 。When the Marquis saved you, you were still a young boy. I didn't expect that after a few years, you would be so accomplished! No wonder the Marquis always said that you are a natural talent for military campaigns, but it's a pity that your aspirations lie elsewhere!” Mu Xu raised his legs and casually plucked a blade of grass to chew on, but from his bag he pulled out an oiled paper package and handed it to Ye Shan. 。“Shan Shu, you’re saying that we youngsters aren't capable enough Have a bite first. This is a pancake brought from home, baked by Mei Yi herself.” 。"

It had been several months since Ye Shan last saw his wife. Hearing this, he quickly opened the oiled paper package, took a big bite, and then happily squinted his eyes. "

"Boy, don't think that bribing me with a pancake will get you off the hook." 。"After Ye Shan ate a few mouthfuls of the pancake, he choked and drank some water to soothe his throat. Then he continued criticizing." 。"How many Mist Balls do you have left Split half with me." 。Look at me, I'm still so cautious, I don't dare to use even one unless it's dangerous. You, on the other hand, just fling them out one by one! 。" Mu Xu was delighted. He had a beloved girl to secretly supplement him." 。He spit out a straw, opened the bag, and there were still ten or so left. 。"This thing wasn't easy to make in the first place. The princess doesn't have much stock, and most of it was sent to your northern expeditionary army. The rest, just a few pieces, were given to me" 。"However, the county princess said that this is a second-generation product, with slaked lime inside..." 。If the wind direction is unfavorable, it's easy to harm your own people, so no poison powder was used. 。When you use it, be careful. Lime can easily blind your eyes if it gets in them. If it does get on you, remember to wash it off with vegetable oil. 。" Understood 。"Yezan showed no hesitation, snatching all the mist orbs and stuffing them into his bosom before getting down to business." 。The Marquis is launching a full-scale offensive, planning to drive the barbarians out of the border in half a month and completely retake Jiangbei. 。But the court issued an imperial edict to switch from attacking to defending, and military supplies were also being delayed in transportation. 。The Lord decided to abandon the court and resolve the war quickly. 。Thus, the military rations will have to be figured out here at home. 。"I wonder how Lord and Mr. Wen have prepared beforehand Could they perhaps lend a hand to the Marquis now"

"Of course!" Mu Xu's eyes shone brightly, even more noticeable in the night.

"The family has been secretly stockpiling military supplies at home, especially after the last batch of supplies was destroyed..." 。Master Bo and Mr. Wen are not good at going out to get flour, so I have always been the one who secretly brings food to Jiangbei and hides it in a valley guarded by three hundred veterans. 。Those three hundred veteran soldiers were also left to me by the Marquis before he went on campaign. They are very reliable. 。"Ye Shan was delighted and guessed, "The valley you're talking about wouldn't be the Broken Stone Valley that everyone at Suijin Beach yearns for The one where the Guo family's library was once stored""Hahaha, You got it right, Mountain Uncle" 。"That's it right there!"

Mu Xu leaped like a fish, saying, "Come on, Shan Shu, let's go back and see what's going on there."

Although they might not give us any clues, it's better to take a look just to be sure. 。If there's nothing else, I'll take you to the valley and discuss how to transport the food. 。" Ye Shan uncapped the water bag on his hip, took a few sips, and sighed, "That group of people didn't have much desire to kill us. Otherwise, with that volley of arrows just now, we wouldn't be alive to tell the tale." 。"However, having so many people under Jiangbei's command is always a problem. We need to find a way to get rid of them." 。“I nod, 'When the grain transport is gone, it won't delay the Northern Expedition army's affairs. When I have free time, I'll go specifically to look for these people. However, catching these people won't be easy to deal with.'" 。"It's a pity to kill it, but not to kill it is not right, it's really a headache!" "Let's go, the goose hasn't been caught yet. We can decide whether to steam it or boil it later." 。" Ye Shan unbuckled the reins, swung himself onto his horse. 。Mu Xu then jumped up, and the two of them on horseback quietly returned to where they had just been fighting. 。As expected, not only were the soldiers and horses that had their eyes blinded by lime gone, but even the bodies of the several black-clad men felled earlier by Mount Ye were nowhere to be seen. 。Besides a faint metallic scent scattered by the night wind, everything else seemed as if nothing had happened here...Mu Xu turned around for quite some time, and Ye Shan didn't just stand there. Finally, the two of them met eyes. 。"At the very beginning, those men in black who attacked me must have been... from that person in Xindu. He clearly wants to hold back the Northern Expeditionary Army and wait for things in Xindu to end before letting the Northern Expeditionary Army fight against the barbarians." 。"Yezhan's face was grim, his heart filled with anger, unhappy for his master." 。During the day, he would call his brother "cousin" with every word, as if he wanted the whole world to know that he and his master had mutually supported each other through their hardships of survival from childhood. 。And as a result, at the critical moment, for his own sake, he just as easily disregarded his cousin's safety. 。Maybe he had other selfish desires, so that the master toiled for Tianwu his whole life, and in the end, there wasn't even a good ending... Mu Xu also sighed, the worst case scenario still happened. 。These people did indeed come from the palace, their moves bearing traces common to the Imperial Guards. 。By their hoof prints, their bodies must have been taken away by that cavalry. 。However, I don't know what those people are planning! "That woman had been hesitating before, unable to make up her mind. The princess in the palace saw it most clearly. She was worried that something like this would happen, and she couldn't sleep well." 。Now that man has begun to intercept the Marquis and his family's connections, it seems he is truly determined. 。"After I return, I will definitely report this in detail to the Marquis and let him prepare himself. 。That one was already determined to be ungrateful and treacherous. The Marquis disregarded the order and launched a preemptive strike, which likely gives that one a better excuse to harm the Marquis. 。Mu Xu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled. 。"Shan Shu, you said the Dark Guards should cut off the Northern Expeditionary Army's connection with their families, wouldn't that destroy their supplies" 。Since they are all enemies of the Northern Expeditionary Army, should we lay a trap and completely frame those dead guards on that group of people"Ye Shan also listened with bright eyes and asked, "Do you have a way""Of course, palace guards usually have backups when they carry out missions..." 。If someone on a business trip is unreachable for more than four hours, someone will follow up to check on them. 。That troop is sizable, and their tracks are more obvious. Let's try to find them, and it would be best to get two more sets of clothing and horses. 。"When the reinforcements arrive, we'll speak in a southwestern dialect to lure them to that group of people...""Good idea!" Ye Shan couldn't help but cheer, slapping Mu Xu hard on the back, "You kid is so clever! Let them bite each other, and we won't have to make a move to get rid of Jiangbei's troublemakers." 。Mu Xu also smiled, but his eyes were filled with coldness. 。The troublemakers in Jiangbei are nothing to worry about. The real target is the hypocrite from Xindu who covets his beloved girl. 。People with a southwestern accent were found, it would be strange if the one in the palace didn't suspect the son-in-law she had her eye on. 。Besides, it's rather strange that the groom fell ill right before the wedding...culed, and just as he was stunned, a scoop of dirt was thrown onto his face, making him cough violently.His defenses were completely shattered, and he burst into tears."Spare my life, oh please, Lord...
