The adopted daughter returns with a new face
Chapter 205: People want face, trees want skin
Outside Mo Shui City, Lan Zhentian personally led 30,000 soldiers to demand people. The huge team camped two or three hundred meters away from Mo Shui City.
Chen Fan and Qing Wu were somewhat surprised at the situation in front of them, surprised that they would have to fight with Bei Li just for Lan Rufeng.
Bai Chu rode towards them, rushed to the tower and saw a dark mass outside the city. He suppressed his anger and shouted to Mu Rongchen: "Does Prince Rong want to fight with Bei Li?"
Mu Rongchen stepped forward and said calmly: "If Prince Bai is willing to see the people of the two countries displaced by the war, I am willing to accompany you. If Prince Bai is not willing, then let Master Lan leave the city and I will naturally retreat."
"Don't mention Lan Rufeng to me. He is a complete liar. He left from Jinjiang an hour ago." When Bai Chuchao mentioned Lan Rufeng, he couldn't suppress the rage in his heart.
Mu Rongchen heard that Lan Rufeng and they had the same evacuation route, but he didn't quite believe Bai Chuchao's words, so he asked: "How do I know whether it's true or not?"
"Prince Rong, Young Master Lan has indeed left. This general was tricked by him and just rushed back. If Prince Rong doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." Wu Ye shouted.
"Rong Chen, General Zhong and I will take people to support and make sure that Young Master Lan really leaves." Guanzhi Tower was the first to go to support Lan Rufeng.
"Yang Feng and Commander Zhang, take people there immediately." Mu Rongchen stopped Guanzhilou and the others. He was afraid that Lan Rufeng's secret would be known by too many people.
Yang Feng understood and Zhang Cheng gathered a hundred soldiers and rode their horses to the left.
"Prince Bai, I will withdraw my troops once I am sure that Young Master Lan is safe." Mu Rongchen would not withdraw his troops until he saw Lan Rufeng. Even though that woman was cruel, he couldn't help but fall in love with her.
"Prince Rong is really capable. He took the person away quietly right under my nose. But in order to prevent the two countries from going to war, Young Master Lan risked his life to sneak into the mansion and kill Miss Liang, but was stopped by you." Bai Chuchao reversed Lan Rufeng's words and told them loudly to the Southern Kingdom soldiers.
"Prince Bai, I know Mr. Lan's character better than you do. There is no need to sow discord between them." Lan Zhentian spoke up to prevent Bai Chuchao from sowing discord between Mu Rongchen and Lan Rufeng.
"Prince Nan'an, I did not try to sow discord. It was Master Lan who told Wu Ye himself. If Prince Nan'an does not believe it, he can ask Master Lan in person." Bai Chuchao said disapprovingly.
"Prince Bai doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the Southern Kingdom." Mu Rongchen said indifferently. He believed Lan Rufeng would not be stupid enough to tell Wu Ye about this, so Bai Chuchao's purpose was obvious.
"Prince Rong, in addition to admiring you, Master Lan is also a person worthy of my admiration. Since the person was rescued by you, it only means that my skills are inferior to others. Beili has no intention of going to war with the Southern Kingdom.
All this was just to help Chu Xuan. Now Chu Xuan has also been killed by Guan Louzhu, and I have also killed Yu Meiniang, just to avenge him. If Guan Louzhu wants to seek revenge from me, I am always here to serve you. "Bai Chuchao said a lot of high-sounding things.
Guan Zhi Lou smiled coldly and said, "Zhong Tong was ungrateful and killed dozens of our disciples. This owner of this building cleaned up the family and acted upright. However, Prince Bai allowed his brother to collude with the Bai Yue Sect and harm our disciples. Prince Bai, rest assured, this owner of this building will punish him."
"Master Guan, why don't you ask yourself? Why did the sect you founded with so much effort end up in such a situation? Not to mention the Second Prince, Lin Xiangjie and Huang He had long been plotting to usurp the throne. The Second Prince is only helping you to see clearly what's in your heart." Qing Wu said sarcastically.
Guanzhilou remained silent in the face of Qingwu's ridicule, too lazy to argue with her. Lan Rufeng helped him deal with Mo Qingshui and Sun Suyun, and both factions suffered losses, and no one gained any benefits.
Mu Rongchen pulled the horse back and raised his hand to let the soldiers rest on the spot. He was very tired after not resting the whole night, so he simply sat on the horse and closed his eyes to rest.
"Your Highness, are you planning to let Lan Rufeng go?" Qing Wu asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do if I don't let him go? I have already lost more than 2,000 cavalry. If we go to war, can we defeat Mu Rongchen?" Bai Chuchao asked calmly.
"Qing Wu understands." Qing Wu agreed. As long as they could restrain the death-fearing Liang An An and act according to the plan, there was still a chance.
Bai Chuchao looked at Mu Rongchen and the others who were waiting outside, turned around and asked someone to bring him a chair and make him a pot of tea. He sat in the shade of the city wall and drank tea while waiting with Mu Rongchen and the others.
Lan Rufeng rode his horse to race against time, and he was racing against time. He changed his clothes decisively when he passed a small town market, and just as he went around the outskirts of Moshui City, he met Yang Feng and Zhang Cheng.
"Mr. Lan..." Yang Feng and Zhang Cheng were so happy to see Lan Rufeng that they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
"Why are you here?" Lan Rufeng asked knowingly.
"The prince and the prince of Nangan led the troops to drag Bai Chuchao in front of Moshui City. Bai Chuchao said that you left from the direction of Jinjiang, and the prince asked us to pick you up." Yang Feng replied, staring at the black mask on Lan Rufeng's face without blinking.
"It is truly an honor for me. Let's go." Lan Rufeng smiled faintly and rode out on his horse.
Yang Feng and his men called out to the soldiers to follow her back.
Outside Mo Shui City, at noon, the sun was getting hotter and hotter. Mu Rongchen and his men could not bear the sunburn, so they withdrew their men to the nearby forest to wait in formation.
Bai Chu looked at Mu Rongchen and his men who were unable to bear the sun and retreated under the tree, and he was getting angry. He didn't rest last night, and neither did Mu Rongchen and his men. Now they were fighting here for a cunning liar.
Lan Rufeng and his men arrived outside Moshui City, it should be one or two o'clock, the sound of horse hooves made the people of both armies look in one direction. The people coming from far away made Mu Rongchen and his men ecstatic, and Bai Chu was furious with them.
"Young Master Lan, Young Master Lan..." When the people in Guanzhi Tower saw Lan Rufeng, they all ran up and the soldiers also shouted loudly.
"I'm really sorry for causing you all to worry." Lan Rufeng clasped his fists and apologized to the soldiers.
"I'm glad you're back safely. Don't bother me, my old bones, in the future." Lan Zhentian said with a hint of blame in his tone.
"I'm sorry for causing Prince Nannan to worry!" Lan Rufeng apologized to Lan Zhentian with a smile. The original owner was still a good father.
"You can't bear the consequences of acting on your own, and I don't want it to happen again." Mu Rongchen warned Lan Rufeng.
"Now that Prince Rong has a beauty, has he forgotten about me, the person who risked his life for you?" Lan Rufeng said sarcastically.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Rongchen scolded.
Lan Rufeng smiled coldly and didn't respond. He rode his horse to the foot of the tower, looked at Bai Chu on the tower and said with a chuckle: "Your Excellency Prince Bai, how do you think I am at serving you? Are you satisfied?"
"How good is your service to others?" When everyone heard Lan Rufeng ask Bai Chuchao, they all looked at him curiously. What did he do?
"I am very satisfied with Mr. Lan's performance. How about you come with me?" Bai Chuchao said with a forced smile, feeling extremely angry.
"I can consider this, but not now." Lan Rufeng said with a smile.
"I am really looking forward to it, especially the iced fruit tea made by Young Master Lan. It will leave me with an unforgettable aftertaste." Bai Chuchao was almost gritting his teeth.
"It's my honor to be liked by Prince Bai. Not only can I make iced fruit tea, I also particularly like the white flour buns in General Wu's mansion. I'll have the chance to taste them again in the future." Lan Rufeng said with a smile.
"Mr. Lan, people need face, and trees need bark." When Wu Ye heard about steamed buns, he yelled at Lan Rufeng angrily. This damn guy still had the nerve to say that he had no shame, but he did.
