Chapter 5444 The overall situation has been determined

An adjutant looked deeply at the limp Qingbei Marquis, and his eyes no longer had the previous loyalty.

"Do you think so too, Lu Jin?"

Lu Ji raised his head with great effort and looked at another adjutant.

This man was an orphan that Lu Ji had personally rescued from the battlefield, and even his name was given by him.

Although he was not his biological son, Lu Ji's expectations for him had long been the same as his own son Lu Shang.

At this time, due to the death of his son and the betrayal of his subordinates, Lu Ji even had a tendency to fall into evil.

"My Lord, this is the general trend, and I have to do this."

"Otherwise, the royal family will not let the Qingbei Army go."

Lu Jin lowered his head and spoke with guilt.

He and another adjutant beside him received orders from the royal family long before they set out on the expedition, asking them to find an opportunity to stab Qingbei Marquis Lu Ji in the back after the expedition.

If they don't do it, not only their families, but also all the soldiers in the Qingbei Army will not be able to escape the purge of the imperial family.

Under such a threat, Lu Jin could only betray Lu Ji against his conscience.

After all, the death of the Marquis in exchange for the survival of the Qingbei Army was the best outcome he could think of.

"Hahaha, you guys are still too young."

Lu Ji raised his head and laughed, and looked deeply at Lu Jin and another adjutant.

Having followed the royal family for so many years, how could Lu Ji not know the ways of the imperial royal family.

They thought that if they died, the Qingbei Army would be safe.

Since the royal family could sacrifice a Qingbei Marquis, they would not let go of their own army.

But after a loud laugh at this time, Lu Ji had lost the strength to speak again.

Under the invasion of the golden needle poison, his eyelids gradually drooped, and the whole person fell into a coma.

"Why, how are you going to deal with him?"

Bai Mu had not said much since the beginning, until Lu Ji fell to the ground, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked the two adjutants.

"How we deal with the Marquis does not need you to intervene, but according to the instructions of that adult, the plan can proceed to the next step."

Lu Jin stepped forward and looked at Bai Mu deeply.

"What do you need me to do?"

Bai Mu shrugged and looked at Lu Ji who fell to the ground with regret.

He was eager to have this guy fall into his hands, but seeing the resolute look of the two adjutants, Bai Mu knew it was impossible.

In this case, he might as well take the second best option and save the Snow Country first, and then slowly consolidate his power in the Snow Country.

When the dissidents in the Snow Country are completely eliminated, Bai Mu can ascend to the throne that he misses day and night.

"Nothing, just open the barrier of the Snow Country and hand over a few elders of the Snow Country."

Lu Jin stared at Bai Mu, with a slightly weird tone in his tone.

Perhaps it was because he had been the adjutant before.

Now, as the candidate to represent the entire Qingbei Army to talk to Bai Mu, Lu Jin could not help but find it difficult to control his facial expression for a while.

However, Bai Mu was also overwhelmed by the ecstasy in his heart at this moment, and did not care about the slightly strange expression on Lu Jin's face at all.

"Okay, this is not a problem."

"It's just that you Qingbei Army need to cooperate with me to play a play."

"I will personally lead people to defeat you, and in the process, you need to accidentally kill the princess of our Snow Country."

Bai Mu narrowed his eyes and raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

"No problem."

Lu Jin and another adjutant looked at each other, and they saw a flash of light in each other's eyes.

Bai Mu's words were exactly what they wanted, so there was no need for other excuses to lead troops to the border of the Snow Country.

"Very good, then I will return to the Snow Country first."

Bai Mu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to turn around and leave, when a chill suddenly brushed past his cheek.

A few drops of blood rolled down, and Bai Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the corner.

He saw Qin Wu staring at him with wide eyes, and there was a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.

"Bai Mu, you, the traitor of the Snow Country, you actually colluded with the Empire!"

Qin Wu roared hoarsely, and blood kept pouring out of the corners of his mouth.

However, Qin Wu didn't care about his injuries at all, but stared at Bai Mu with resentment.

"Hehe, Great Elder, how can you say I'm a traitor?"

"I am the one who can really save the entire Snow Country. Do you really expect a little girl like Wan Renxue to save the Snow Country and lead it to the top?"

"Hahaha, it's really a fool's dream."

"Qin Wu, since you are about to die, I will tell you a secret."

Bai Mu raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, and then walked straight to Qin Wu in the corner.

Looking down at the great elder who was still a powerful figure in the Snow Country yesterday, Bai Mu's eyes were full of contempt.

"The old guy Wan Xueye was not murdered by the Empire."

"I assassinated him myself. Before he died, he kept calling your name."

Bai Mu stood up with a wild laugh, his face full of ferocious complacency.

"What?!"

Qin Wu's pupils suddenly shrank. Hearing such a horrifying truth, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

In a fit of rage, Qin Wu raised his finger and pointed at the arrogant Bai Mu in front of him, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, Qin Wu's eyes glared, raised his head and fainted.

"Tsk."

Bai Mu glanced at Qin Wu's fallen body with disdain, then turned around and greeted Lu Jin and the adjutant with a smile.

"Then I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"When you return to the empire, I will give him a great gift."

Bai Mu bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

Lu Jin's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, and he nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, let's start as soon as possible."

"Of course."

Bai Mu turned around and went straight out of the warship.

After watching Bai Mu leave, Lu Jin's smile disappeared.

"Let's start as soon as possible, I don't want to stay here any longer."

Lu Jin said, and a look of struggle flashed across his face.

"What should I do with the Marquis and the great elder of the Snow Clan? We should directly..."

The other adjutant pursed his lips and raised his hand to stroke his neck.

Lu Jin glanced at Lu Ji who was lying on the ground and Qin Wu on the other side, and his face struggled for a while.

"Leave it to me, you go out and inform the others first."

Lu Jin waved his hand, signaling the adjutant to go up to the deck first to inform the others.

"Okay, then leave it to you, I don't want to do it myself."

The adjutant also sighed, patted Lu Jin's shoulder, and walked out of the room.

If it weren't for the royal family's forced coercion, none of them wanted to kill the Marquis personally.

"Marquis, I..."

Lu Jin pulled out the dagger from his waist, stood beside Qingbei Marquis Lu Ji, and pointed the knife at his heart.
