Chapter 5455: A clever plan

"Wait, General Lu Ji."

Two voices came from the left and right, and Lu Ji immediately raised his hand to signal the surrounding warships to stop.

"Mr. Zhang, Princess Wan?"

Looking around at Zhang Yifeng and Wan Renxue, Lu Ji looked confused.

"Ahem, Senior Lu Ji, you shouldn't need a hundred thousand troops to go with you this time."

"The size of the Snow Country is not comparable to that of the Empire. If a hundred thousand troops enter the center of the Snow Country's capital, it will probably cause panic among the people of the Snow Country."

"After all, you also know that the conflict between the empire and the Snow Kingdom has not lasted for a day or two..."

Zhang Yifeng coughed lightly and reminded.

Wan Renxue on the side also nodded slightly when she heard this, and she stopped Lu Ji because of this.

When Lu Ji heard this, he also had a look of surprise on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I really didn't think it through well. A hundred thousand troops entered the Snow Country with great momentum, which will inevitably cause panic among the people of the Snow Country."

"In that case... then I will lead a small number of elites and go on a battleship with the three of us."

Lu Ji thought for a long time, selected from left and right, and chose a smaller battleship.

At the same time, he also replaced the soldiers on it with his own bodyguards of a hundred.

After such preparations, the battleship headed towards the castle in the center of the Snow Country.

Even though the momentum has been reduced to the lowest limit, the battleship can still be seen by the people in the snow country during the march.

Their hatred for the empire made them panic when they saw the battleship appearing in the Snow Country.

He hurriedly went around to inform the Snow Clan warriors guarding the country.

At the same time, news of the battleship's appearance in the Snow Country soon spread to the central castle.

Bai Mu was sitting in the main hall of the Snow Country Castle. In front of him was the throne that symbolized the authority of the Snow Country.

However, Bai Mu was in no hurry to sit on the position that must belong to him.

He was waiting for the information to come back.

Only after hearing the death of Elder Ma and all those who were in the way could he sit in this position with peace of mind.

While Bai Mu was waiting, the door of the hall was pushed open forcefully, and one of his Snow Clan scouts rushed in.

"What's going on? You're in a panic."

Bai Mu asked slowly, everything was under his control, so why should he worry about anything.

"Elder Qi, we discovered an imperial warship in the Snow Country!"

The Snow Clan scout was half-kneeling on the ground, reporting in a panic.

"What?!"

Bai Mu's pupils shrank and he suddenly stood up from his seat.

But soon, he regained his composure, stared at the scout and asked, "Tell me what happened. How many warships entered the Snow Kingdom?"

Even though he suppressed the worries in his heart, Bai Mu still couldn't help but feel a big stone hanging in his heart before he got the accurate answer.

"Elder, there is only one imperial warship entering the country, and it is heading towards the castle."

The scout lowered his head, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied in a solemn voice.

"Hahaha, I see. What's there to be afraid of with just a warship?"

When he heard that there was only one warship heading towards the castle, Bai Mu immediately put down the stone in his heart, laughed and sat back down.

If the entire Qing Northern Army came, he would definitely think that the empire wanted to kill the donkey and destroy the Snow Country.

But it was just a battleship. In Bai Mu's heart, I was afraid that the prince of the empire had something to explain to him.

"Okay, there's no need to stop this battleship, just let it come over."

Bai Mu waved his hand casually and ordered in a calm tone.

"But, elder..."

The scout wanted to remonstrate, but Bai Mu's face showed an obvious look of displeasure.

"That's enough, let's get down."

Bai Mu waved his hand in displeasure and took a deep look at the scout.

"Yes, sir."

The Snow Clan scout pursed his lips, but still did not dare to speak further. He stood up and exited the hall.

Bai Mu turned around and looked at the snow-white decorated throne, a look of longing flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yifeng, who was on the battleship on the other side, looked at the castle getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but think of Qin Wu's strange look on the hospital bed.

"Princess Wan, why did Elder Qin Wu suddenly become depressed before?"

Zhang Yifeng asked directly.

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang didn't know that the person who recommended Bai Mu for promotion to elder was none other than Elder Qin Wu."

"Bai Mu was still young at the time, but he was already quite effective in managing the land in Snow Country."

"The Great Elder is delighted to see Hunting Xin. In the snow country where talents are withering, it is extremely difficult for young people with such extraordinary talents to appear."

"Therefore, in order to reward Bai Mu for his contribution, the great elder personally recommended him to be promoted to elder."

"I'm afraid the great elder at that time would not have thought that the young people he recommended would eventually become such greedy people as they are now."

A look of regret flashed in Wan Renxue's eyes. If Bai Mu could concentrate on benefiting the people of Snow Country, today would be a different situation.

"After all, he is obsessed with power."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head and said in a deep voice.

While the two were talking, the battleship was already hovering over the castle.

Seeing that someone below was about to fly onto the battleship, Zhang Yifeng immediately used the Heavenless Formless Magic to change the appearance and aura of himself and Wan Renxue.

They did not come here to cause trouble, but to kill Bai Mu, the culprit, so there was no need to fight with other Snow Clan warriors.

Lu Ji also put on his helmet to cover his face.

Not long after, the people in the castle flew onto the warship.

The two elders who came were those who followed Bai Mu, one of whom was Elder Liu, who had been taught a lesson by Bai Mu for his poor performance.

As for the other person, it was Qu Hun.

There were only a few Snow Clan warriors in the castle at this moment.

These people were private soldiers of Bai Mu and his elders, and they had not followed Elder Ma and others to the border.

When Qu Hun came to the warship, he looked at the unfamiliar faces, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Why did you break into my Snow Clan castle?"

Elder Liu asked with dignity, staring at Zhang Yifeng and the other two standing in front.

"Stop talking nonsense and take us to see Bai Mu."

"He has a new mission for him."

Zhang Yifeng snorted coldly and looked down at Elder Liu with his head raised slightly.

"What?"

Elder Liu frowned and looked at Zhang Yifeng deeply.

Bai Mu had never told them about the prince of Tianyu Empire.

But after following Bai Mu for many years, Elder Liu and others had already noticed it, but they had never dared to ask him in person.

Looking at the arrogant Zhang Yifeng at this moment, Elder Liu couldn't help but panic.

"Why don't you lead the way quickly?!"

Zhang Yifeng shouted angrily when he saw this.
