Chapter 5443 Betrayal

"Take the four elders away."

Bai Mu waved his hand casually, and the group of Snow Clan warriors who rushed in immediately stepped forward and pushed the four elders out.

"Bai Mu, how dare you bully us like this!"

One of the elders had veins bulging on his forehead and was about to attack Bai Mu in anger.

However, before he could make a move, the Snow Clan warrior beside him had already drawn the scimitar from his waist.

"Wait, Elder Bai Mu, you are awesome this time."

"But I believe that the Great Elder will not die so easily at the hands of the Imperial Army."

While the Snow Clan warriors had no intention of killing them, another elder hurriedly held them down and spoke coldly to Bai Mu.

"I have never had any interest in losers. Take them all away."

Bai Mu just sneered, and at this moment he did not hide his ambitious thoughts at all.

I just attended this meeting just to enjoy the thrill of playing with people's hearts.

"I never thought that I would witness the power shift within the Snow Country with my own eyes?"

The messenger standing by had a very interesting expression on his face.

"Oh, take me to find your Lordship."

The corners of Bai Mu's mouth trembled slightly twice, he stood up and stared at the messenger and said.

"of course."

The messenger nodded slightly and then walked out of the meeting room.

Bai Mu followed closely behind him and called Qu Hun to his side.

"After I leave, please pay attention to the actions of others, especially the four imprisoned elders. Do not let them have any contact with the outside world."

Bai Mu spoke in a serious tone, and Qu Hun quickly nodded in agreement.

After completing this instruction, Bai Mu flew to the border of the Snow Country with the messenger.

After Bai Mu raised his hand, the border barrier opened automatically.

Following closely behind the messenger, the two soon arrived on the warship where Qingbei Hou was.

Bai Mu looked around at the warships floating in the air. This time, there were at least 100,000 soldiers brought by Qingbei Hou.

Such a large number of troops is several times more than that of the Snow Country.

If Qingbei Hou really made up his mind to attack the Snow Country, he would probably be able to conquer it within an hour.

Forcibly suppressing the hatred in his heart towards Qingbei Hou, Bai Mu calmly followed the messenger and entered the cabin of the warship.

The messenger went deeper and came to a door. After knocking gently, the door opened by itself.

"I didn't expect that the person sent to negotiate with me would be you."

In the room behind the door, Lu Ji sat behind the table, looking up slightly at Bai Mu who walked in.

Lu Ji still has many impressions of Bai Mu in his mind.

After all, this was the important person who made him famous.

"Heh, I also didn't expect that you would come to attack the Snow Country again."

"What on earth happened that caused the Empire to send out a killer like you?"

Bai Mu also chuckled in a hypocritical manner and looked at Lu Ji deeply.

At this time in the room, in addition to Bai Mu, there were two armored guards standing beside Lu Ji.

These two men are Lu Ji's deputy generals, and they usually lead troops to guard the borders of the empire.

"You should know that someone from the Snow Country sneaked into the Empire yesterday."

"I came here this time to bring back the Snow Tribe people who sneaked into the empire."

"As long as you hand those people over to me, I can return your great elder and those Snow Clan warriors to you."

Lu Ji crossed his hands, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly bulging, proving that he was very uneasy.

"As long as I hand those people over to you, you will withdraw your troops?"

Bai Mu's eyes flickered twice and he asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, I am a man of my words, you should know that better than anyone else."

There was a hint of murderous intent hidden in Lu Ji's calm eyes, and he could no longer hold back.

After hearing these words, Bai Mu's mouth twitched constantly, and a trace of anger and shame flashed across his face.

He knew very well what Lu Ji's seemingly unreasonable words were implying.

"Ok, I……"

Just as Bai Mu was about to give Lu Ji an answer, a light cough suddenly came from the corner of the room.

"No, you can't agree to him, Bai Mu."

"Although you and I usually argue with each other secretly, this is the only thing you cannot agree to."

Bai Mu was startled by the sudden sound. He turned his head to look at the corner of the room and saw a figure leaning there.

Through the light in the room, Bai Mu was surprised to find that the figure hiding in the corner was Qin Wu.

At this time, Qin Wu was covered in blood and leaning against the wall in the corner like mud.

"Great Elder? So you are not dead yet."

Bai Mu looked at Qin Wu deeply, and then said in a strange tone.

"Of course, if he were dead, how could I negotiate with you?"

"Now, tell me your choice as soon as possible."

Lu Ji raised his hand impatiently to interrupt the conversation between the two, staring at Bai Mu and said.

"I'm sorry, this is not due to any grudge between me and the Great Elder."

"But I can't hand those people over to you. Even if the Snow Country is conquered by you, I will choose to die on the battlefield for my country!"

Bai Mu spoke with his head held high and his chest puffed out, his eyes fixed on Lu Ji.

Qin Wu, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but smile when he heard Bai Mu's answer.

"idiot!"

Lu Ji's eyelids jumped, and he punched the long table in front of him, shattering it, then stood up and glared at Lu Ji.

"Is this your choice? Very good, then you can stay here for now!"

Lu Ji roared in rage and was about to rush towards Bai Mu to kill him on the spot.

Even though the empire has a rule of not killing envoys, Lu Ji is too furious to care about that at this moment.

Just as Lu Ji rushed to Bai Mu and was about to break his neck.

Two strong gusts of wind hit him from behind, and the unprepared Lu Ji suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.

"Wha, what!"

Lu Ji suddenly felt his hands lose strength, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

With a ferocious look on his face, he touched his waist and pulled out two golden needles.

Looking at the two golden needles in his palm, Lu Ji could tell the origin of this thing at a glance.

"You actually betrayed me?"

Lu Ji growled, and saw his two lieutenants, whom he trusted very much, standing behind him.

Needless to say, these two golden needles were naturally pierced by them.

"I'm sorry, my Lord. You should know the identity of the person who can use this thing."

"No matter how loyal we are to you, we are still soldiers of the Empire."

The two lieutenants lowered their heads, a hint of guilt flashing across their faces.

"But don't worry, my Lord. After we return to the empire, the royal family promised to build a golden statue for you and enshrine it in the Martial Temple to be worshipped forever."

"You are ultimately a threat to the royal family."
