Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 5444 The overall situation has been decided

An adjutant took a deep look at the limp Qingbei Hou, and the previous loyalty was no longer in his eyes.

"Do you think so too, Lu Jin?"

Lu Ji raised his head with difficulty and looked at another adjutant.

This person is the orphan that Lu Ji personally rescued from the battlefield, and even his name was given by him personally.

Although he is not his biological son, Lu Ji's expectations for him are the same as those for his own son Lu Shang.

At this time, due to the death of his son and the betrayal of his subordinates, Lu Ji even had a tendency to fall into evil.

"My Lord, this is the general trend, and I have no choice but to do this."

"Otherwise, the royal family will not let the Qingbei Army go."

Lu Jin lowered his head and spoke with a guilty look on his face.

He and another adjutant beside him had received orders from the royal family long before they went on the expedition, asking them to find an opportunity to stab Qingbei Hou Lu Ji in the back after the expedition.

If they fail to do so, not only their families, but also all the soldiers in the Qingbei Army will not be able to escape the purge of the imperial royal family.

Under such threats, Lu Jin could only betray Lu Ji against his conscience.

After all, the death of the Marquis in exchange for the survival of the Qingbei Army was the best outcome he could think of.

"Hahaha, you guys are still too young."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ji raised his head and laughed, then looked deeply at Lu Jin and the other adjutant.

Having followed the royal family for so many years, how could Lu Ji not know how the imperial royal family does things.

They thought that if they died, the Qingbei Army would be safe.

Since the royal family can sacrifice a Marquis of Qingbei, they will not let go of their own direct army.

But after this loud laugh, Lu Ji had lost the strength to speak again.

Under the attack of the golden needle poison, his eyelids gradually drooped and he fell into a coma.

"Why, what are you going to do with him?"

Bai Mu didn't say much from the beginning until Lu Ji fell to the ground. Then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he asked the two adjutants.

"You don't need to interfere in how we deal with the Marquis, but according to the instructions of that lord, the plan can proceed to the next step."

Lu Jin took a step forward and looked at Bai Mu deeply.

"What do you need me to do?"

Bai Mu shrugged and looked at Lu Ji who was lying on the ground with regret.

He wished that this guy would fall into his hands, but seeing the determined looks of the two adjutants, Bai Mu knew that it was impossible.

In this case, he might as well settle for the second best and save the Snow Country first, and then slowly consolidate his power in the Snow Country.

Once all dissidents in the Snow Country are completely eliminated, Bai Mu will be able to ascend the throne he has longed for day and night.

"Nothing, I just need you to open the Snow Country's barrier and hand over a few Snow Country elders."

Lu Jin stared at Bai Mu, with a slightly weird tone in his voice.

Perhaps it was because he had previously played the role of adjutant.

Now, as the person representing the entire Qingbei Army to have a dialogue with Bai Mu, Lu Jin couldn't help but find it difficult to control the expression on his face for a while.

However, Bai Mu was so overwhelmed by the ecstasy in his heart at the moment that he didn't care at all about the slightly strange expression on Lu Jin's face.

"Okay, that's not a problem."

"It's just that you, the Qingbei Army, need to cooperate with me in a play."

"I will personally lead my men to defeat you, and in the process, you need to accidentally kill the princess of our Snow Country."

Bai Mu narrowed his eyes and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"no problem."

Lu Jin and another adjutant looked at each other and saw a gleam of light in each other's eyes.

Bai Mu's words were exactly what they wanted. This way, they wouldn't need any other excuse to lead their troops to the border of the Snow Country.

"Very good, then I will return to the Snow Country first."

Bai Mu nodded contentedly and was about to turn around and leave when a chill suddenly brushed past his cheek.

A few drops of blood rolled down, and Bai Mu squinted and looked at the corner.

Qin Wu was staring at him with wide eyes, and there was a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.

"Bai Mu, you traitor to the Snow Country, you actually colluded with the Empire!"

Qin Wu roared in a hoarse voice, with blood constantly gushing out from the corners of his mouth.

However, Qin Wu didn't care about his injuries at all, he just stared at Bai Mu with anger.

"Oh, Great Elder, how can you say I'm a traitor?"

"I am the one who can truly protect the entire Snow Country. Do you really expect a little girl like Wan Renxue to save the Snow Country and lead it to the top?"

"Hahahaha, what a foolish dream."

"Qin Wu, since you are about to die, I will tell you a secret."

Bai Mu's mouth curled up in a strange arc, and then he walked straight to Qin Wu in the corner.

Looking down at the great elder who was a powerful figure in the Snow Country yesterday, Bai Mu's eyes were full of contempt.

"That old fellow Wan Xueye was not actually murdered by the Empire at all."

"I assassinated him myself. Before he died, he kept calling out your name."

Bai Mu stood up with a wild laugh, a ferocious look of complacency on his face.

"what?!"

Qin Wu's pupils suddenly shrank. Shocked by the horrifying truth, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

In a rage, Qin Wu raised his finger and pointed at the arrogant Bai Mu in front of him, but he was speechless for a long time.

Finally, Qin Wu's eyes widened, he raised his head and fainted.

"laugh."

Bai Mu glanced at Qin Wu's fallen body with disdain, then turned around and greeted Lu Jin and the adjutant with a smile.

"Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"When you return to the empire, I will give you a great gift."

Bai Mu lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.

Lu Jin's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "It's okay, let's get started as soon as possible."

"of course."

After saying this, Bai Mu turned around and walked straight out of the warship.

After watching Bai Mu leave, Lu Jin's smile disappeared.

"Let's get started as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here any longer."

As Lu Jin spoke, a look of struggle flashed across his face.

"What should we do with the Marquis and the great elder of the Snow Clan? We should directly..."

The other adjutant pursed his lips and raised his hand to stroke his neck.

Lu Jin glanced at Lu Ji who was lying on the ground and Qin Wu on the other side, with a look of struggle on his face.

"Leave it to me, you go out and inform the others first."

Lu Jin waved his hand, signaling the adjutant to go up to the deck first to inform others.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I don't want to do it myself."

The adjutant also sighed, patted Lu Jin on the shoulder, and walked out of the room.

If the royal family had not forced them, none of them would have wanted to kill the Marquis with their own hands.

"My Lord, I..."

Lu Jin pulled out the dagger from his waist, stood beside Qingbei Hou Lu Ji, and pointed the knife at his heart.
