Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Chapter 429 Internal and external cooperation

Snow night.

The north wind was biting cold.

The wind was howling.

The cold wind brushed against my cheeks, making my face sting.

Lu Qingyao quickened her pace.

Although Mu Yunji's injuries have improved, he is far from being able to wield his sword and fight enemies.

He probably hasn't had a peaceful day in many years.

So now, I can't sit still at the slightest hint of trouble.

Before even entering the courtyard, Mu Yunji's shout could be heard from afar: "Get out of my way, what are you doing blocking my way?"

Xiuxiu stretched out her arms to block her.

Whether he's a duke or a general, if my sister says she'll stop him, she'll definitely stop him.

Seeing that Mu Yunji was somewhat angry, she had no choice but to bring up her elder sister: "Lord Mu, my elder sister said that your injuries have not yet healed and you cannot go out."

She recently discovered a huge secret.

The elder sister seemed to care about Master Mu quite a bit, taking excellent care of his every need, from clothing and food to lodging and transportation.

I've never seen her act like that with any other man.

It feels a bit like a married couple.

Lord Mu's eyes were glued to his elder sister, and he obeyed her every word.

Her intuition told her that there was something going on between the two of them.

She thought he would listen to his sister and stay in the room, but to her surprise, he immediately turned to Yu Qi with a dark expression. "What are you standing there for? Get this woman out of here right now."

Mu Yunji persisted.

With the border under attack, how could the commander-in-chief not be in the camp?

Cangzhou was a strategic pass in Daliang, and as a necessary route for north-south water transport, the Grand Canal ran through various parts of Cangzhou.

To the northern barbarians, it was a very tempting piece of meat.

Of course, this is also a very important juncture for Daliang, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.

So he had to go.

Xiuxiu: ...

And yet you still want to please your elder sister!

She looked at Yu Qi calmly, as if to say, "Let's see if you dare to make a move."

Yu Qi looked troubled.

On one side is the master, and on the other is Madam Lu, who is wholeheartedly devoted to the master.

You can't afford to offend anyone.

He made a quick decision: "Third Miss is right. My young master's injuries haven't healed yet, so he really can't go."

Mu Yunji glared at him fiercely: "Don't you want your monthly allowance anymore?"

Xiuxiu: "Yuqi, don't be afraid, your monthly allowance will be covered by your older sister."

Mu Yunji: ...

Yu Qi looked up at the crossbeam.

Watching and watching...

Something seems off.

Why is there dust falling on the beam? And why is there a rustling sound?

It didn't sound like the wind, but rather like... someone was there.

not good……

"Young master, there are people on the roof." He drew his sword and prepared for battle.

Mu Yunji glared at him: "Yu Qi, stop beating around the bush. I told you to get this woman away..."

“Young master, I’m not lying to you, there really is someone on the roof.” Yu Qi pointed to the beam: “Look…”

Mu Yunji and Xiuxiu immediately fell silent and turned off the lights.

Yu Qi hurriedly went out to investigate.

Lu Qingyao changed her clothes and had just stepped out of the courtyard when she noticed a dark shadow moving around on the roof.

She leaped onto the roof with a cat-like leap.

Look around.

There were quite a few people; as far as the eye could see, there were at least twenty or thirty people, all dressed in black and masked.

Each of them was tall and robust, more than a head taller than the people of Daliang.

These people slowly approached Mu Yunji's courtyard from different directions.

Lu Qingyao felt a chill run down her spine.

They are... Northern barbarians!

Oh no, could this be a diversionary tactic?

Seeing Yu Qi being held back by the man in black, she called out, "Yu Qi, stop fighting! Go and protect your master!"

The men in black were not about to let Yu Qi leave, and three or five of them held him back.

The rest of the men rushed toward Mu Yunji’s courtyard, intending to surround it, but were held back by the gatekeepers and the guards on night duty.

Lu Qingyao was then able to take the opportunity to enter the house.

Xiuxiu stood in front of Mu Yunji like an eagle protecting its chicks.

Mu Yunji's face was full of helplessness.

There was a time when he actually needed a woman to stand in front of him and protect him.

I'm so ashamed to face anyone.

"Xiuxiu, move aside."

"No, you can't go out."

“Take me to see your older sister; she’s in danger.”

"She's fine, you're the one in danger. I checked, those people outside are all after you..."

The two were locked in a stalemate when the door creaked open.

Lu Qingyao entered the room and saw this scene, which made her want to laugh.

But I couldn't laugh.

Mu Yunji had never felt so frustrated.

He used to always be at the forefront protecting everyone, but now he has to hide behind others. He must be both angry and anxious.

At that moment, he was like a lion with its mane bristling.

Lu Qingyao picked up a cloak from the shelf and draped it over him.

“Brother Mu, there might not be any trouble at the border, but those people outside are probably after you and the tiger tally you hold. As long as you are safe, the Liang army will be fine…”

The moment Mu Yunji saw Lu Qingyao, he immediately calmed down.

The bristling fur seemed to have straightened out.

He subconsciously touched the object in his arms: "Don't worry, Yao Yao, as long as I'm here, the Tiger Tally is here. I want to see what they can do to me. You stay in the room and wait for me to come back."

Yao Yao pretended to be relaxed, just because she didn't want him to take any risks.

It's not that he's ungrateful.

But the northern barbarians were so arrogant that they were right in front of him, so you can imagine how dire the situation was. How could he just sit and wait to die?

It's most likely that crazy Prince Chen again.

In order to seize military power from him, they actually let a wolf into the house, colluding with him from within and without.

Even if it means my death and the dissipation of my soul, I will protect Yao Yao and the people of Cangzhou.

He looked at Xiuxiu and said, "Take good care of your older sister."

After saying that, he picked up his sword and prepared to leave.

"Brother Mu... wait..."

Lu Qingyao slowly approached him, stood in front of him, and suddenly tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "Brother Mu, I read the letter you wrote to me... I'm waiting for you to come back."

Mu Yunji froze on the spot, his heart pounding in his chest.

It felt like a deer's head was pounding wildly.

His letters, those words buried deep in his heart, those letters that were never sent.

How did it end up with Yao Yao?

Who stole his letter?

"Yaoyao...those letters..." Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yunji felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Then he fainted.

Xiuxiu opened her eyes wide.

Looking at Lord Mu leaning against his elder sister.

He thought his sister was going to use her beauty to persuade Lord Mu to hide.

Unexpectedly, they knocked him unconscious in a swift and decisive manner.

As expected of the elder sister.

"Xiuxiu, stop spacing out, come help me put him on the bed." Lu Qingyao helped Mu Yunji up with some difficulty.

I was murmuring in my heart.

What does this person usually eat? How can he be so heavy?

Looking at the sleeping Mu Yunji, Xiuxiu asked curiously, "Sister, what did you say to Lord Mu just now? Why did he have that expression, and why was he so easily ambushed by you?"

It must be said that the elder sister's seduction of Lord Mu was also effective.

Otherwise, let alone knocking him unconscious, it would be difficult to even get close to him.

"Cough cough..." Lu Qingyao coughed twice, her cheeks slightly flushed.

If she hadn't been so curious about what treasure her second brother had brought her, she wouldn't have been able to find out.

She wouldn't open the box before going to bed either.

They would never have known that Mu Yunji had fallen deeply in love with her many years ago.

This fool!

Why didn't you say so at the time?

If I had told you, perhaps there would have been a different outcome.

He always thought that Mu Yunji would eventually marry a county princess or a noblewoman.

I never imagined he would fall in love with me, especially so early in life.

But back then, she never dared to think about it.

Because Mu Yunji was too dazzling.

A member of the imperial family, the young master of the Duke's mansion.

The Empress Dowager's most beloved nephew, the Crown Prince's study companion, highly regarded by the Emperor, and a man of both literary and military talent.

He was incredibly popular and exceptionally handsome.

Mu Yunji and Cui Yan, one a scholar and the other a warrior, were both highly sought after by countless noble ladies in the capital.

And she, although she was a young lady from the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

But the glory of the General's Mansion was all built up by his father and grandfather.

They are ultimately different from those aristocratic families.
