Chapter 5425 Secret Plan

"I'm sorry, Great Elder, you should know what an enemy Qingbei Hou is to me!"

Bai Mu took a deep breath and gradually suppressed the anger in his heart.

At this time, he lowered his head, as if he was adjusting his mood.

Qin Wu didn't take it too seriously, as everyone present knew that Bai Mu was severely injured by Qingbei Hou.

To this day, Bai Mu still has scars on his body from the attack by Qingbei Hou.

Even Bai Mu's current white hair was given by Qingbei Hou.

However, the other elders present did not know that a ferocious expression had now appeared on Bai Mu's lowered face.

"Damn old man, I will kill you with my own hands sooner or later!"

Thinking fiercely in his heart, Bai Mu wished he could kill Qin Wu and the elder who had just revealed his scar right now.

But Bai Mu's greed for power made him resist this impulse.

He has been secretly planning for many years and has paid too much to rule the Snow Country. He must not be blinded by momentary anger.

After trying to calm down his anger, Bai Mu slowly raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's follow what the elder said."

"For the time being, we will confine these imperial people in the castle for observation for a period of time in the name of protection."

"After we confirm that they are not spies sent by the empire to cause trouble, we will discuss with the princess whether to accept them."

Bai Mu's tone softened and he looked very calm.

Seeing that Bai Mu no longer insisted on killing Ji's family and others, Qin Wu couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, Elder Bai Mu, it would be great if you could figure out the key to this."

"We elders are usually so busy that we rarely meet. Why don't we take this opportunity to catch up today?"

Qin Wu stroked his long beard with a smile on his face and asked.

Bai Mu's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to restrain the elders of Qin Wu's side.

At this moment, Qin Wu took the initiative to suggest reminiscing about the past, which saved Bai Mu from the trouble.

This would also prevent Qin Wu from finding any clues on him later.

"How can I refuse the invitation of the Great Elder? Please."

Bai Mu stood up from his seat, shook the cloak on his shoulders, and invited respectfully.

"Hahaha, it's rare that Elder Bai Mu is willing to stay for a while longer. I will entertain him well today."

Qin Wu also stood up from the table. In a good mood, he immediately waved his hand, signaling the servants to prepare the wine and food.

Qin Wu led everyone deeper into the hall, preparing to find a secluded place to have a good drink.

Qin Wu and other elders walked in front, while Bai Mu followed closely behind with the three elders who followed him.

Looking at the backs of Qin Wu and others in front of him, Bai Mu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in a strange arc.

He couldn't wait to see what ugly look Qin Wu would show when the bodies of Wan Renxue and the Ji family's gang were placed in front of him.

By then, it might be the best time for him to defeat Qin Wu in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu's gaze swept across the elders behind Qin Wu one by one.

Those who follow Qin Wu are basically the older elders of the Snow Clan.

These people have an inexplicable loyalty to Qin Wu, and most of them are difficult to win over to his side.

But not all of them are like this.

Coming here first, Bai Mu's eyes fell on an old man who was half a person's height on the far right.

At this time, he was following Qin Wu closely, with a flattering look on his face.

This person's name is Qu Mo. He has a lot of experience in the Snow Clan, but he has been doing nothing.

The only reason he followed Qin Wu was because Qin Wu had greater influence in the Council of Elders.

For such a person, Bai Mu felt that he might have a way to bring him to his side.

Once successful, he and Qin Wu will have equal say in the Council of Elders.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think about how to win over Qu Mo.

After thinking for a while, Bai Mu had a rough idea, but it was too early to say anything now.

If he wants Qu Mo to switch sides and join him, he needs to show his strength first.

And the best way is nothing less than the massacre that will happen tonight.

When all those imperial people and Wan Renxue are dead in the fortress, Qu Mo will know who is more worthy of surrender between him and Qin Wu.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu immediately turned his head and whispered to the three elders around him, "How is the matter being handled?"

"Elder Bai Mu, everything you instructed us to do has been prepared. I think they should have already sneaked in with weapons."

"And I have secretly sent away all the guards near that corridor, leaving only a few useless servants."

The three elders looked at each other, and after confirming that Qin Wu was not paying attention to them, they replied.

"Well done."

Bai Mu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. These guys were quite efficient.

Since even the guards have been sent away, there is no chance of survival for these imperial people and Wan Renxue tonight.

With a sense of relief in his heart, Bai Mu even walked a lot more lightly.

On the other side, Zhang Yifeng was setting up a formation in the room when suddenly footsteps were heard outside the door.

Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Because he knew that the people outside the corridor were not here to cause trouble for them.

Otherwise, Ji Dali, who was watching closely outside, would report the situation to him as soon as possible.

The footsteps finally stopped in front of Zhang Yifeng's door, and soon there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, do you need anything?"

A gentle female voice came from outside the door, and it sounded like a maid in the fortress.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yifeng walked forward and opened the door.

Sure enough, there was a girl less than half a person's height standing outside the door, wearing a maid's outfit.

"It's late at night, don't you need to rest?"

Zhang Yifeng looked at the girl and asked in a deep voice.

"I, I was sent by the elders to serve you, sir."

The girl lowered her head and replied shyly.

Zhang Yifeng frowned upon seeing this and said in a cold voice: "No need, I don't need any service."

After saying this, he was about to close the door and go back to set up the formation.

"Wait, sir, I, I still..."

Seeing that Zhang Yifeng was about to close the door, the girl showed anxiety on her delicate face and hurriedly reached out to stop the door from closing.

Seeing that she was about to say something nasty, Zhang Yifeng quickly raised his hand to interrupt her.

"That's enough, stop talking about this."

"You insisted on entering my room. It seems that this is a task assigned to you by the elders of the Snow Clan?"

Zhang Yifeng was not a person who liked to embarrass others. He could see that the girl had something to hide, so he asked calmly, "Yes, yes, sir. The elder told me to stay in your room no matter what."
