The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

Seeing Mu Jin remained silent, Su Yi couldn't help but turn his head and look at Mu Jin.

Seeing that Mu Jin's brows seemed to be sad, he couldn't help but wonder if he had just said something wrong that caused Mu Jin to suddenly become like this.

Su Yi is a very smart person. In just a moment, thinking about what he had just said to Mu Jin, she could guess why Mu Jin suddenly became sad.

Su Yi sneered: "We just experienced a life-and-death situation, and you still have such a thought about Nangong Min?"

Mu Jin turned to look at Su Yi's playful smile, surprised at how he could guess it.

Su Yi asked again: "I've always been curious, how come you like Nangong Min? He is not suitable for you."

Mu Jin didn't want to talk to Su Yi about Nangong Min. Indeed, she shouldn't worry about an impossible person anymore.

At this moment, Mu Weihou and Mu Yan are the people she should worry about the most.

Mu Jin turned to look at Su Yi: "You keep saying that you can help me rescue my brother, but I haven't asked you how you plan to do it."

Hearing Mu Jin suddenly ask this, Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he slowly stopped smiling.

There were Su Yi's men in the Beiqi camp. Originally, he had ordered people to rescue Mu Yan from the Beiqi camp, and things were going smoothly.

Until two days ago when Su Yuntian went to Beiqi Camp for negotiations, the spies that Su Yi had planted in Beiqi Camp suddenly lost contact with them.

Su Yi had a vague feeling that something might have changed. He was afraid that after Mu Jin knew about this, she would ignore his dissuasion and leave immediately because she was worried about Mu Yan's safety.

Thinking of this, Su Yi and Mu Jin smiled and said, "I have spies planted in the Beiqi camp. You don't have to worry. Mu Yan has always been very good. The Beiqi people use him as a bargaining chip in the negotiations with Dongyue and will not do anything to him."

Mu Jin asked: "You told me that Su Yuntian has arrived at the Beiqi camp. How do you think the East Vietnam will let Su Yuntian negotiate with Beiqi?"

Su Yi turned his head and looked at the dark river in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"I think East Vietnam will give Kitazaki some sweet treats. After all, this war cannot be fought. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a loss for both countries."

"At this moment, Kitazaki is like a mad dog at the end of its rope, with nowhere to go. If Dongyue cannot meet their demands, they will probably give up everything they have, and will not let Dongyue have an easy life until they die."

"This war may lead to the destruction of Beiqi, but how can Dongyue remain unscathed? Dongyue has been fighting with Beiqi for years. It may seem like a powerful country, but it has already been riddled with holes inside and out."

"I believe that you have seen a lot of shame along the way since you came out of the capital, including corrupt officials colluding with bandits and city gate guards who extorted money from refugees in broad daylight. The most difficult situation is still the common people of Dongyue."

"In order to have more money to fight the war, the imperial court even did such dirty things as selling official positions and increasing taxes on the people."

"And those who buy official positions spend all their money for an official position, just to have more power to exploit the people's blood and sweat."

"Dongyue is now rotten from top to bottom. Even if they defeat Beiqi, they will be seriously injured. I guess even a small country like Xiliang will be able to easily take down Dongyue by then."

"Now all countries are waiting eagerly for Dongyue and Beiqi to go to war, so that they can reap the benefits. Beiqi understands this, and Dongyue understands it even better."

"But Kitazaki has no choice. They have made their last gamble, and Dongyue is also trying every possible way to end the war with Kitazaki."

Mu Jin said: "You mean, Dongyue will give Beiqi certain benefits this time to resolve this dispute?"

"Yeah!" Su Yi nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dongyue may choose to compromise with Beiqi and give them some cities and property to quell the war and preserve its strength."

"Although this will come at a certain cost, it is undoubtedly a wiser choice than suffering heavy losses in a war."

"Both countries seem to have compromised, but they are just taking this opportunity to recuperate, accumulate strength, and wait for revenge in the future."

"After all, both countries are ambitious countries. Temporary humiliation is only for a better rise."

Su Yi took Mu Jin's hand and said, "So, Ajin, Mu Yan's life will not be in danger. You don't need to worry about this."

Su Yi's words were undoubtedly like a reassurance, calming Mu Jin's heart that was filled with worry about Mu Yan.

Su Yi looked at Mu Jin as if he was relieved, then he turned his head, lowered his eyes, and slowly hid the slight smile that had just appeared in his eyes as the night fell.

In the end, he did not dare to tell Mu Jin the truth. Although Mu Yan's life was not in danger for the time being, Mu Yan was the cause of the dispute in Dongyue this time.

The loss of cities and huge amounts of silver by the Kingdom of Dongyue undoubtedly placed a heavier burden on the people of the court.

In order to quell the anger and dissatisfaction of the people in the country, the court may choose to point the finger at Mu Yan, or even the entire Mu family.

The Mu family was portrayed as a scapegoat for the crisis in order to divert people's attention and thus ease the tensions in recent years caused by tax collection, conscription, plague, and the extremely tense relationship between the court and the people.

After all, Su Yu had long wanted to take action against the Mu family. This time, it was just right to blame the conflict on the Mu family, which was often much easier than facing the incompetence of an entire country.

Su Yi took off his cloak and covered Mu Jin with it, and said to her: "I don't think Ling Yu and the others will be here that fast. You can lean on me and rest for a while. I will call you when they come."

Mu Jin nodded, perhaps because she was too tired recently. Since Su Yi had repeatedly assured her that Mu Yan's life would not be in danger, she always felt uneasy.

Now that the people chasing her didn't follow her, she finally closed her eyes. Even though she was still a little uneasy, she couldn't suppress the tiredness. She leaned against the rocks and fell into a complete sleep.

Su Yi saw that Mu Jin was completely asleep, then he gently embraced her and held her in his arms.

Mu Jin seemed to sense the comfortable source of heat. She rubbed herself in Su Yi's arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to fall asleep.

Faintly, Mu Jia seemed to hear the sound of people talking. She was woken up by hunger.

When I opened my eyes, I felt hungry, my vision was blurry, and everything around me was blurred as if covered with a layer of mist.

She opened her eyes and found herself still lying next to the rock where she was last night, but Su Yi had placed a soft cushion under her and she was still wearing Su Yi's cloak.

Mu Jin seemed to smell the aroma of barbecue, so he sat up.

She turned her head and saw Ling Feng grilling meat next to the carriage not far away, and Ling Yu was standing in front of Su Yi, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Mu Jia stood up, walked to the river nearby, and washed her face with some river water. The cold river water instantly sobered her up.

Su Yi, who was not far away, noticed that Mu Jin had woken up, so he stopped talking with Ling Yu and walked towards Mu Jin.

Su Yi walked towards Mu Jin with the water bag: "Did you sleep well last night? Ling Feng has already grilled the meat and washed up, so come over and have some food."

Mu Jin took the water bag, rinsed his mouth, and walked towards Ling Feng and the others with Su Yi.

Mu Jin asked Su Yi: "When did they come?"

Su Yi said: "An hour ago."

"The number of people last night should have been much larger than ours. How did they cope with it? And how did they find us after dealing with that group of people?"

At this time, the two of them had walked in front of Ling Feng and Ling Yu. Su Yi signaled Ling Yu to answer Mu Jin's question. After receiving the order, Ling Yu explained to Mu Jin.
