C454 Bring people into the city (2/2)
These people were captured by bandits together with this wangfei. If we escape, you can go report to the crown prince and ask him to come back and stop us here. What is your purpose? ”Right now, release me immediately. Otherwise, I won't mind cutting off your dog head!”
As Mu Ru Yue finished speaking, her killing intent rose.
General Lü was used to seeing wind and waves, but he was still scared by Mu Ru Yue's malicious intent. With a gloomy expression, he opened a path and said to his subordinate, ”Let the wangfei through!”
With these words, these people slowly made way for him.
When Bai Yu saw this, his voice became cold: ”All of you hurry up, have you not eaten yet?”
Bai Yu's words moved the people a little faster. Mu Ru Yue finally brought these people to Peony City. After entering the Peony City, Mu Ru Yue's gaze swept past the crowd. Her voice was calm but gentle as she continued, ”You are free. If you are in trouble, go to the City Lord's Mansion and look for the crown prince or the imperial concubine on the back street. Here, I can assure you that I will not turn a blind eye to any of you. ”
Mu Ru Yue's words moved everyone.
However, Bai Yu said, ”It's better if Princess doesn't continue to incite feelings. Right now, the City Lord's carriage has already brought the crown prince's palace to exchange hostages. Now that all the hostages are in the city, what would happen if His Highness really goes to the place? ”
Once Bai Yu said that, Mu Ru Yue's expression became ugly. What would happen? Of course it was his life that was going to end!
If something really happened to Feng Qing, how terrible would it be?
”Let's go.” Mu Ru Yue didn't bother with these people and left with Bai Yu. The commoners that had entered the city began to leave one after another. The young man in tattered clothes said, ”I advise all of you to not go home until this matter is over.”
With that, he left as well. The place where he left at was in the direction where Mu Ru Yue and the others left from.
This Seventh Princess really did as she said she would. She didn't break her promise and brought them back to Peony City. It was a pity … She still didn't understand everything about Peony City. Sometimes, returning might not be a relief, and it might even represent another type of despair.
”Faster!” Bai Yu anxiously knocked over Mu Ru Yue and got into his carriage.
Mu Ru Yue was stunned by Bai Yu's attitude. After getting into the carriage, she frowned and said, ”You're doing the same thing as when you were chasing rabbits, shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
When Bai Yu heard this, he let out a bitter laugh before spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
”What's going on?” Mu Ru Yue was startled by Bai Yu and immediately checked his pulse. She then looked at Bai Yu with a serious expression, ”Are you poisoned? After leaving the underground, who did you meet? ”
”This is the price of betrayal.” Bai Yu's voice was hoarse.
”Betrayal?” Mu Ru Yue didn't understand a word he said. Then, he scolded: ”Damned Jun Ru, I have been schemed against by him. My family members and the City Lord's Mansion members all assumed that I was the culprit that helped those slaves escape, and even prepared to kill me.
Fortunately, I still have a group of loyal guards at home, and they helped me escape. I originally planned to rush out of the city, but I didn't expect that I would run into the two of you coming back.
If they knew that I was expelled from the Bai Clan, they would definitely not let us off. General Lü will even kill me and my wife to bury this matter. ”
Bai Yu said seriously. As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Mu Ru Yue examined him and asked, ”What does this have to do with Jun Ru?”
