Chapter 5445: Fake

After Bai Mu walked out of the deck, he flew straight towards the snow country without stopping on the battleship.

After returning all the way to the border of Snow Country, Bai Mu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and called everyone back to the castle.

After returning to the castle, Bai Mu immediately released the four elders who had been imprisoned.

At this moment, everyone gathered at the elders' meeting. Bai Mu sat in the seat that originally belonged to the great elder Qin Wu with a sad face.

Seeing this scene, the four elders who were released were shocked, and they had already predicted the outcome of Bai Mu's trip.

"Elder Bai Mu, what's going on with the great elder!"

The four elders all looked at Bai Mu and asked in a solemn tone.

At this moment, they had no intention of worrying about Bai Mu's previous behavior of imprisoning them, they just wanted to know a certain piece of news.

"I'm sorry, elders. I did meet the great elder, but the great elder refused to obey the request of Marquis Yu Qingbei."

"They even threatened my life to make me not agree to Qing Beihou's request."

"The negotiation failed. Although I did not see the death of the great elder with my own eyes, but with the brutal character of Qing Beihou..."

Bai Mu sighed and squeezed out a tear from the corner of his eye.

"Impossible! You must have deliberately refused Qingbeihou's request in order to seize the position of Great Elder."

"No matter what the conditions are, the life of the great elder is of the utmost importance!"

One of the four elders had a bad temper. After hearing what Bai Mu said, he retorted angrily on the spot.

He didn't believe the few words Bai Mu said, and determined that Bai Mu had done this deliberately.

"Hey, Elder Ma, how can you look at me like this?"

"I might as well tell you the truth, the person Qingbeihou wants us to hand over is none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Bai Mu looked at Elder Ma in disbelief, then slammed the table with a look of painful experience, stood up and shouted.

As soon as these words came out, all the elders present were immediately stunned.

Including the elders who followed Bai Mu, they had no idea that the person Qing Beihou wanted them to hand over was actually Her Highness the Princess.

"How is that possible!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Elder Ma, but also the other three elders following Qin Wu stood up suddenly.

They stared at Bai Mu with solemn expressions, obviously not believing his words.

Everyone in the Council of Elders knows that Elder Qin Wu is an absolute royalist.

Bai Mu said these words at this moment, clearly intending to use the name of Princess Wan Renxue to cover up the fact that he had harmed the great elder.

"I know you all can't believe this for a moment, but don't you want to know why Her Royal Highness the Princess came back with a group of Imperial people?"

"Actually, the Qingbei Marquis led the army here to take away Her Royal Highness the Princess who caused a scene in the Imperial City of Tianyu Empire."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess went to the imperial city of the empire to retrieve our clan's secret treasure..."

Bai Mu sighed and told everything Wan Renxue had done after going to the Tianyu Empire's imperial city on the spot.

Of course, all he knew was what the imperial prince had guessed.

For example, Lu Shang died at the hands of the Snow Tribe people.

"What?!"

The elders present heard that Wan Renxue actually led people to kill Qing Beihou's son, and they all looked at each other in confusion for a while.

Elders like them, who have been fighting against the empire for many years, know the capabilities of the Qing Beihou very well.

Now Qing Beihou led an army to come, and the purpose was to ask them to hand over the princess.

"If what Elder Bai Mu said is true, then no matter what, we will never be able to hand over Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Elder Ma's face was no longer as excited as before, but he said in a deep voice.

After all, what Bai Mu said was exactly the same as what happened after Wan Renxue came back.

They also know Qingbeihou very well. Unless there are special circumstances, Qingbeihou is someone who will definitely try his best to avoid a war between the empire and the Snow Country.

Now that the Qing Beihou personally led his troops, something must have happened that made him furious.

"Yes, I have the same idea. If Her Highness the Princess is handed over to the Marquis of Qingbei, how can we have the face to face our ancestors under the Nine Springs!"

Seeing this, Bai Mu shouted loudly with his chest raised, his face full of righteousness.

When the other elders heard this, they couldn't help but feel chest pains at this moment, with expressions of approval on their faces.

"So, I think everyone should understand now why I refused Qingbeihou's conditions."

"I admit that during the internal struggle in Snow Country, the Great Elder and I did not get along with each other."

"But what we are facing now is a struggle between countries. How can I get the Great Elder into trouble because of my personal affair?"

After Bai Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, with sadness flashing across his face.

Such superb acting skills immediately gained the trust of Elder Ma and other four elders.

"I'm sorry, Elder Bai Mu, it was my words that went too far."

Elder Ma looked sincere and bowed his head to apologize to Bai Mu.

The other three elders also bowed with their hands in hand, their faces full of apologies.

"It doesn't matter. What we need to worry about now is probably how to deal with Qing Beihou and the army he brought."

"I noticed during previous negotiations that the Qingbei Marquis could be said to have mobilized the entire army this time."

"The 100,000 troops of the Northern Qing Dynasty under his command are currently stationed outside the border of Snow Kingdom, ready to attack at any time!"

Bai Mu said solemnly, describing the scenes he had seen on the warship of Qingbei Hou.

"One hundred thousand..."

Hearing this, the elders present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Snow Country has only 30,000 soldiers, probably because the Snow Country is located in the ice field and the breeding environment is very low.

Even though the Snow Clan has the innate coldness, it is difficult for them to fight against the army of Qingbei Hou under the premise that the army is several times more than their own.

Not to mention that in addition to this powerful army of 100,000, there are also people like Qingbei Hou.

Today's incident may really make the entire Snow Country fall!

"No matter what the outcome, my opinion is to mobilize all the troops of the Snow Country to fight to the death with the army of Qingbei Hou."

"Now Qingbei Hou is blocking the door, and it is impossible to escape."

"Not to mention for the glory of the Snow Country, I will definitely fight until the last drop of blood is shed!"

"Now, if any of the elders want to escape, I, Bai Mu, will never stop them."

Bai Mu said in a deep voice, his face full of determination.

As soon as these words came out, the elders present responded immediately.

"Elder Bai Mu, I have had many misunderstandings about you in the past, and even slandered you."

"But today, facing the catastrophe of the Snow Country, I will definitely fight with you until the last moment!"
