Chapter 255: Are you thinking of betraying your country?
Seeing this, Yun Muzhe quickly gave Guan Qiuyao a look.
A fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
However, despite being so brief, it still could not escape Guan Qiuyao's sharp eyes, and she accurately captured this subtle change.
Guan Qiuyao nodded slightly, but just when she was about to say something, she suddenly found that the guards behind her seemed to be unable to restrain themselves and were ready to make a move.
Guan Qiuyao was startled, fearing that they would act rashly and anger Yun Muheng, so she hurriedly shouted anxiously, "Okay! Don't be impulsive. I'll send someone to prepare a carriage for you right away."
Before she finished speaking, Guan Qiuyao did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly turned around and walked towards the door.
As she walked, she was thinking to herself how to properly handle the matter as quickly as possible.
Not long after, Guan Qiuyao hurried into the room again.
She walked straight to Yun Muheng, calmed her rapid breathing a little, and then said, "The carriage is ready. Now you can finally let Lord Tianye go, right?"
Yun Muheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing an icy smile. His sharp eyes flashed with coldness like cold stars. He snorted coldly and said, "I will let him go, but it won't be as simple as it is now!"
At this moment, Lord Tianye, who was threatened by Yun Muheng, heard this and his face changed drastically. His thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, forming a deep "川" character.
His eyes burned with rage, his mouth opened wide, and he let out a deafening roar: "How could you be so untrustworthy, you ungrateful person? I have ordered them to do exactly as you said. What else do you intend?"
Facing Lord Tianye's angry rebuke, Yun Muheng remained unmoved. He responded calmly and composedly, "This king always keeps his word. Since I have said that I will release the people, I will definitely not break my promise.
It's just to prevent you from doing something secretly and causing any accidents, so I have to trouble you to accompany me on this journey.
When we reach the city gate, I will keep my promise and drop you off safely."
After saying this, Yun Muheng lowered his head slightly and said softly to Ye Chuxue beside him: "Xue'er, let's go."
Ye Chuxue nodded slightly, and then Yun Muheng reached out and grabbed Tian Ye Dajun's arm.
Regardless of Maharaja Tianye's struggles and resistance, he was pushed into the carriage.
Just after Yun Muheng handed Lord Tianye to Ye Chuxue, he turned around and walked towards the shaft of the carriage, apparently intending to sit there himself to drive the carriage.
However, just as he had one foot on the shaft of the cart, Yiyun Muzhe suddenly spoke.
Yun Muze was smiling, but his eyes revealed a subtle cunning. He said slowly, "Prince Yun Xin, you took Lord Tian Ye away without hesitation. To be honest, we are a little worried.
How about this? We will send an experienced person to drive the carriage and escort you and the prince to the city gate.
After completing the escort mission, we can have this person drive the carriage back to pick up the prince. Wouldn't that make both of us feel more at ease?"
Upon hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Lord Tianye, who had originally looked nervous, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
He nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! This is a good idea! This way, we can both be protected!"
After saying that, he did not forget to look at Yun Muheng with expectant eyes.
Yun Muheng frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
After a moment, he nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with the proposal.
Then he lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage.
A guard dressed in black and with an upright posture jumped onto the shaft of the carriage nimbly.
After he sat down steadily, he shook the reins in his hand and shouted loudly: "Go!"
Immediately afterwards, the horses neighed, their hooves flew, and the carriage galloped away like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust.
Yun Muzhe and Guan Qiuyao, who stayed where they were, looked at each other. They smiled at the same time, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing a sense of success that was difficult to conceal.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the distance.
It turned out that Chen Yuhe and Wanshan led dozens of soldiers and rushed here at full speed.
However, when they saw Yun Muzhe and Guan Qiuyao standing with a group of Kou people, they were shocked and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
Chen Yu's originally sharp eyes now shone with an even colder light. He stared at Yun Muze intently and asked in a cold and sharp tone, "May I ask, Prince Yun Ning, have you ever seen my prince and princess?"
Facing Chen Yu's questioning, Yun Muze only responded with a fake smile, pretending to be very confused: "Oh? Didn't the two of them take Lord Tianye hostage and head towards the city gate?
How come you didn't see it even after all this time?"
After saying that, he shook his head slightly, as if he felt a little incredible about the negligence of Chen Yu and others.
"Impossible? We didn't see a single carriage on the way here!"
Chen Yu widened his eyes and spoke in a firm tone, as if this was an indisputable fact.
At this moment, Wanshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and realized the seriousness of the matter, and his heart couldn't help but panic.
His face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his face was full of fear, his lips trembled slightly, and he cried out inwardly: "Oh no, the prince is in danger!"
Then, he no longer cared about the difference in status between them and rushed forward without hesitation.
He was agile and arrived in front of Yun Muzhe in the blink of an eye.
He quickly drew out the sharp long knife he carried with him. With a flash of cold light, the knife was placed directly on Yun Muzhe's white neck like lightning.
At this moment, Wanshan's face was distorted and ferocious, and his originally kind face was replaced by ferocity.
He stared at Yun Muze fiercely, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Prince Yun Ning, I'm sorry for offending you today! But if you refuse to tell me the whereabouts of Prince Yun Xin and Princess Yun Xin, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will definitely not let you go easily!"
Faced with this sudden change, Yun Muzhe just smiled coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He straightened his body, met Wanshan's fierce gaze fearlessly, and said slowly: "Humph, you are so brave! I am the current King Yunning,
How dare you be so presumptuous, speaking rudely to me and even threatening me? Do you really think your life is worthless?"
Chen Yu's narrow eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and disdain, but even so, he still bowed respectfully, clasped his hands together and said, "I hope King Yunning can calm down his anger for the time being!
The reason why General Wanshan acted in this way was entirely out of his deep concern for the safety of King Yunxin and the princess.
I just don't know why you, Your Highness, are here?
Moreover, you even have dealings with those people from the enemy country. Could it be that... could it be that you have already begun to think of betraying your country and joining the enemy?
For a matter of such importance to the nation and society, I believe it is imperative that we report it to His Majesty truthfully and clearly."
