Chapter 1421: Betraying Us

he Fourth Prince and Eighth Princess of Xuan Country escaped from Bei Jiang City last night."Hearing this, Mo Junyi finally let out a sigh of relief and curled his lips. "That's good. Since they've es...Mo Junyi and others soon moved into the old man's house.

But Yun Wu was still very cautious. When the elder suggested that his wife prepare food for them, Yun Wu still chose to refuse.

After all, it was imported goods. For safety's sake, he had to refuse, even the water they drank was brought by them themselves.

Yunwu told Mo Junyi to rest in the room and arranged for several brothers from Xintang Valley to accompany him.

And he was in charge of grilling chicken for everyone with two other people.

The chickens weren't from the village, they were wild birds that they caught in the woods before coming to the village.

By the time dinner was ready, nightfall had already arrived.

Mo Junyi has been truly running around these days, both physically and mentally exhausted. Right now, he finally has a bed, he doesn't care about anything else, just falls asleep headfirst.

By the time Yunwu finished preparing dinner, everyone felt so sorry for him that they didn't want to disturb him.

Even though she was worried he might be hungry, in the end she called him up and they ate roast chicken together.

Mo Junyi felt drowsy after eating, "I can't do it anymore, Yunwu you guys should rest earlier too. Maybe the tiredness from these past few days has all come up, now that I'm full, I just feel weak all over, both tired and sleepy."

"Alright, Young Master, rest first. We'll have to hit the road early tomorrow."

After that, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the several people who had been with the prince in the room earlier, "You... are also very tired and sleepy"

Those few people did feel very tired, and at this moment they nodded without thinking.

"!"

I don't know what he thought of, Yun Wu jumped up suddenly, speaking very quickly, “Not good, we’ve been tricked, let's go, quick!”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he himself seemed to be out of control, his body shaking several times.

He also started to feel dizzy.

Suddenly, his face turned pale. “The chicken tonight is bad, everyone spit it out quickly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he focused his energy and tried to vomit up the food he had eaten.

Yun Wu Xinzhi knew today would likely be dangerous. He was afraid that if he used his inner strength again, he would really faint. He immediately said, "Everyone, don't use your inner strength for now, let's leave here first."

Mo Jun Yi's head felt heavy and fuzzy, but he could only force himself to stay awake and prepare to leave with everyone else.

Those who have already entered the tiger's mouth cannot leave so easily.

Sure enough, before they had even taken two steps, the gate to the courtyard was already shut.

In the courtyard, a dozen or so men in black appeared almost instantly. They had been hiding in the neighboring yard all along.

Because it had remained completely silent, Yunwu and the others hadn't noticed at all.

After being surrounded by men in black, the old man also appeared. He looked at Yun Wu and the others with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, then walked over to one of the men in black.

Yun Wu's face was dark, his eyes, which were slowly turning crimson, stared at him, gritting his teeth and accusingly asking, "You betrayed us!"

The old man chuckled softly, "How can this be a betrayal These young men arrived before you anyway. Besides, it was you who insisted on settling here. You can't blame me for that."

"…"

Yun Wuyi thought to himself that he had actually been deceived by this person, and he wished he could kill himself out of anger.

How could he so readily assume this remote village was safe, simply because the old man's face seemed harmless to them He blindly trusted such a treacherous and inhumane wretch.

He didn't care about himself getting into trouble, but now he was even endangering their young master.

Yun Wu clenched his fists, "So what poison did you use on us Did you tamper with the chickens we brought When"

"Hahaha"

The old man suddenly burst out laughing, a sound that clearly held mockery toward Yun Wu.

Mo Junyi's eyes were deep and dark. He raised his hand to rub his temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain in his head.

The sound of this man's laughter intensified his headache, and now, from the corner of his eye, he saw smoldering mugwort in the distance. His brow furrowed.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Yun Wu, "It should be this mugwort that's the problem."

There are mosquitoes in this place, and mugwort is burned to repel them. The mugwort had already been burning before they arrived, so they all just thought it was for mosquito repellent and didn't suspect anything wrong with the mugwort at all.

But judging by the current situation, it seems there's something wrong with this mugwort. He also burned mugwort in the room where he rested, which is why his reaction to it was stronger than Cloud Five and the others, along with those brothers from the Seeking Tang Valley.

Dizzy, like I'm about to faint at any moment.

Others too, held their breaths in silence. If the problem truly lay with the burning mugwort, the more they inhaled its scent, the deeper they would fall into poison.

The old man and over a dozen men in black heard Mo Junyi's words. They narrowed their eyes and looked at Mo Junyi. The old man smiled with great pride and said, "I didn't expect that you little fellow to be so clever."

After saying that, he looked at Yunwu and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "It seems like you're not doing a very good job as a bodyguard either. You don't even know as much as this little kid. Hahaha…"

The old man laughed maniacally, his wife now too afraid to appear, hiding inside and peeking out at the courtyard.

When she saw her own old man laughing so loudly in front of so many people, she was terrified.

But she dared not go out to pull her old husband back, all she could do was nervously stare at the group of men in black.

Actually, they didn't want to get involved in this sort of thing either, but who could have predicted that a group of men in black would storm their village early in the morning and kill many of the men there.

Today, the villagers are terrified not by the newcomers, but by these black-robed figures who cover their faces. They kill without hesitation and warn the villagers that if they don't cooperate, they will slaughter everyone in the village.

She also realized that the people who came later would not kill innocents. They wouldn't do anything to the villagers.

She and her husband had to obey the men in black and throw what they gave them into the mugwort to burn. If she and her husband didn't do this, the men in black would kill them both.

But she also knew her husband had big ambitions. He'd gotten a good deal of money from the men in black, and now that he was out performing, he was probably hoping to impress them enough to get even more money after they were gone.

She and her old partner both saw it, the people who came later must have carried quite a bit of silver on them.

The Black Cloaked Cultivators only want their lives, her wife just wants money, so that's why her wife went out to perform now.

But she still thought it was crazy, throwing money away like this. These black-clad men had killed so many people in the village, how cruel!

Her husband is really clueless.

Just when she was struggling over how to get her old partner back, she suddenly screamed after seeing something. wanted to pounce on Li Ying and tear him to shreds.After a moment's hesitation, Han Yun furrowed his brows and took two steps forward, shielding Li Ying behind him.Li Ying was surprised but still dis...
