Chapter 5425 Secret Plan

"I'm sorry, Great Elder, you should know how much of 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. Everyone present knew that Bai Mu was severely injured by Qingbei Hou.

To this day, Bai Mu still has scars on his body caused by Qingbei Hou's attack.

Even Bai Mu's current white hair is thanks to Qingbei Hou.

But the other elders present didn't know that Bai Mu's lowered face had a hideous face at this moment.

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

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

But Bai Mu's greed for power still 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 a momentary anger.

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

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

"After confirming that they are not spies sent by the empire to cause chaos, we will discuss with the princess whether to include them."

Bai Mu's tone was relaxed, and he looked very calm.

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

"Hehe, Elder Bai Mu, it would be best if you can figure out the key."

"On weekdays, we elders are busy with all kinds of things and rarely meet. Why don't we take this opportunity to reminisce about the past 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 contain the elders on Qin Wu's side.

At this moment, Qin Wu took the initiative to bring up the idea of ​​reminiscing about the past, which saved Bai Mu from trouble.

This also prevented him from being investigated by Qin Wu for any clues afterwards.

"How can I refuse the invitation of the great elder? Please."

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

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

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

Qin Wu led everyone to the deeper part of the hall, ready to find a secluded place to have a good drink.

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

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

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

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

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

Those who followed Qin Wu were basically the elders with more seniority in the Snow Clan.

These people almost had an inexplicable loyalty to Qin Wu, and most of them were difficult to win over to his side.

But not all of them were like this.

First here, Bai Mu's eyes fell on an old man 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 was Qu Mo, and he had a lot of seniority in the Snow Clan, but he had been doing nothing.

Following Qin Wu was just because Qin Wu had a greater influence in the Council of Elders.

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

Once successful, he and Qin Wu will have the same 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 it now.

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

And the best way was the massacre that was going to happen tonight.

When all the imperialists and Wan Renxue died in the fortress, Qu Mo would know who was more worthy of his allegiance 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 handled?"

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

"And the guards near that corridor have been secretly sent away by me, leaving only some useless servants."

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

"Well done."

Bai Mu nodded with satisfaction. These guys are quite efficient.

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

With a sense of relief in his heart, Bai Mu's footsteps became much lighter.

On the other side, Zhang Yifeng was arranging the formation in the room, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Because he knew that the people outside the corridor should not come 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 soft female voice came from outside the door, which sounded like a maid in the fortress.

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

Sure enough, a girl less than half a person's height was 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 am sent by the elders to serve you, my Lord."

The girl lowered her head and replied shyly.

Zhang Yifeng frowned and said coldly: "No, I don't need any service."

After that, he was about to close the door and go back to arrange the formation.

"Wait, my Lord, I, I still..."

The girl saw Zhang Yifeng was about to close the door, and her delicate face showed an anxious look, and she quickly stretched out her hand to stop the door from closing.

Zhang Yifeng saw that she seemed to be about to say something threatening, so he raised his hand to interrupt her.

"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 someone who liked to embarrass others. At this moment, he could see that the girl had something to hide, so he immediately asked in a calm voice, "Yes, yes, sir. The elders told me to stay in your room no matter what."
