Women's First Swordsman [Transmigration Book]

On the second day, Mu Bai didn't get up early as usual, but Su Mo got out of bed before dawn and came back with a plate of steamed buns and porridge.

He sat on the bed and flipped through the latest secret report, and gently scratched Mu Bai's face with the other finger.

Mubai's eyelashes trembled slightly, avoiding him, turned over and went back to sleep.

Not long after, a guard came to the tent to report.

When reporting the situation in the army to Su Mo, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the couch.

Strange, why is there a beauty on the prince's bed...

Mu Bai rubbed against the pillow, his black hair fell down along the bridge of his straight nose, covering his unpainted, sharp-edged face.

Still a man?

The guard was startled and looked away.

I heard that His Highness has a beautiful wife in the imperial capital, but after staying in the barracks for a few days, she also became masculine...

Mu Bai was awakened by the voice, rubbed his eyes, and called softly, "Brother Su Mo."

"Yes." Su Mo responded and dismissed the guards.

He walked to the bed, reached out to touch Mubai's forehead: "Are you awake?"

"Are you going to fight?" Mu Bai asked.

"No, I talked to the leader of the rebel army yesterday, and he should not send troops again."

"Ok?"

Mu Bai listened to him half asleep and half awake.

"His Royal Highness King Qing was originally conferred by my father, a feudal lord stationed at the border, and has many elite soldiers under his command. My father's health has been getting weaker and weaker in the past two years, and his decision-making is somewhat confused. Hearing the advice of the ministers of the court , decided to deprive King Qing of his land as a reward for the third prince who is about to take the throne..."

"King Qing didn't want to be the fish on the sword, so he led the rebels to revolt."

Su Mo roughly analyzed the situation with Mu Bai, and finally said that after the negotiation yesterday, King Qing had agreed to join the faction of the Seventh Prince Su Cheng and help them seize the throne.

"Seventh Prince..." Mu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Are you paving the way for Su Cheng?"

"Correct."

Su Mo had stated many times before that he had no intention of taking the throne, and Mu Bai was not too surprised by this. He only asked, "Will King Qing agree to join so easily, is there any fraud?"

Su Mo said: "It's possible, but not very likely."

What he didn't tell Mu Baiming was that from the day he returned to the imperial capital, he began to plan secretly.Now the intelligence network is spread all over the country, the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the military forces in various places on the border are under control, and many of them have been bought and brought under their command.

When negotiating with King Qing, Su Mo used these chips to exert pressure, intimidate and lure him, so that he had to agree to cooperate with him, not to mention that the folding fan was still on the opponent's throat at that time.

Mu Bai didn't understand these things, so he just listened to what Su Mo said.

After a while, he sat up from the bed, picked up a snow-white steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su Mo rested his chin in one hand and watched him eat, remembering the response of the messenger just now, he asked, "Xiaobai, have you brought any rouge?"

Mubai swallowed the steamed buns wholeheartedly, shook his head with puffed cheeks, and said vaguely: "I don't have to pretend to be a woman anymore."

"Ok?"

"I was a gangster in Guidu." Mu Bai said, "Now the senior sisters know that I am a man... I don't know how to explain it to them."

Su Mo was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Can't you tell them the real reason?"

Mu Bai frowned: "It doesn't count, it's just that this matter is too absurd. If I say it, no one will believe it. Maybe they think I'm playing tricks on them, and they will be even more angry at that time."

Su Mo said: "Then you talk to me first, and I will help you find a way."

Mu Bai asked uncertainly, "Do you believe what I say?"

"Ah."

Mu Bai looked up at him: "Then I told you, you are not allowed to laugh."

"Okay, don't laugh."

"Actually...cough, actually I am not from here, I came from another place."

Su Mo nodded: "Yes."

"I came here with a mission. That system is the thing that forces me to perform the mission. It requires me to disguise myself as a man and take over the identity of Qin Mubai..."

Su Mo then nodded: "Yes."

Mubai told the whole story about being punished for disobeying the system's orders and falling off the cliff, as well as the series of events that followed.

"That's it." He observed Su Mo's expression, and found that his good brother did not show any signs of shock or doubt, and asked again, "Do you believe what I said?"

"Naturally." Su Mo didn't doubt it, but just asked, "In this way, Qin Mubai is not your real name."

"Yeah." Mu Bai said, "My surname is not Qin, my real name is just two words, Mu Bai."

"So that's how it is." Su Mo lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Why don't you just tell them the whole thing."

"what?"

"Senior sister won't believe it."

Su Mo said: "All you need to say is that someone forced you to disguise yourself as a woman. That person gave you the jade pendant, and he taught you to fabricate your experience. If you don't follow what he said, you will risk your life."

There seems to be nothing wrong with anthropomorphizing the dog system.

Mu Bai asked: "Then if the senior sisters ask where that person is..."

"Dead. I was crushed to death by you when I fell off the cliff."

Su Mo paused, and based on all the experiences Mu Bai described, he came up with a set of explanations: "When Qin Jiuge met you, the man was beside you, and he was taken back to Qinglian Valley together. After that, you don't want to let him manipulate you as a woman." Men's clothing, that person will kill you and bring you to the edge of the cliff. During the scuffle, both of you fell off the cliff, and he unfortunately fell on the bottom and was crushed to death."

Mu Bai opened his eyes wide.

Su Mo continued: "You don't need to go into such detail, just give the key information. You were indeed forced to disguise yourself as a woman, and that person was indeed crushed to death. In this way, what you said is all the truth, Qin Jiuge can also follow the clues to think of this answer, although there are some deviations, it is still inseparable from the truth. As for the later things, just explain it according to your original thinking."

"Wonderful." Mubai's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he was a little worried: "I didn't want to make my senior sisters worry, so I went back to Qinglian Valley disguised as a woman after the mission disappeared, but explaining like this is like pretending Like a nice guy..."

Su Mo raised his hand and brushed his black hair behind his ears: "You don't have to worry about that. They get along with you day and night, so there's no need to talk about your temperament. As for whether you believe it or not, the key is not how you explain it."

"What's the key?"

"The key is whether they are willing to believe you or not. If they treat you as biased as you treat me, you are talking nonsense, and they can make it up for you by themselves."

A week later, Su Mo received an urgent letter from the imperial capital.

The content of the letter was as he expected - the third prince conspired against him.

On this morning, the generals of the Three Princes led troops to surround the palace.

Su Mo and Mu Bai had ridden their horses out of the barracks two days ago, and were staying at the Baihe Station when they received the letter.As for the troops stationed at the border, they will be led by Su Mo's deputy generals, and they can only rush to the imperial capital for support after receiving orders from the imperial capital.

After reading the letter, Su Mo handed it to the candle and burned it, while Mu Bai planned to pack his bags and go on the road.

Su Mo looked at the darkening sky outside the window of the guest room, raised his hand to stop him: "Xiao Bai, rest for one night first, and leave tomorrow."

"Ah?" Mu Bai tilted his head, "The third prince's people have surrounded the palace, is there time to rush back tomorrow?"

"It's okay." Su Mo sat down at the table, and leisurely brewed a cup of tea. "The palace guards are not vegetarians, not to mention there are people from the Red Lotus Sect. He won't be able to attack for a while."

"That's true." Mu Bai walked to the table, "When I was in Ghost City earlier, I heard that the Red Lotus Sect Master was also in the palace...but if the third prince breaks through the defense of the palace, she shouldn't be able to deal with the entire army by herself. "

"Not necessarily." Su Mo said lightly, "The leader of the Red Lotus masters a lot of sorcery. She has good skills and has many methods to control people's minds and make soldiers kill each other. She is also good at setting up formations and ambush traps..."

"?"

Mu Bai asked: "Good brother, how do you know her so well?"

Even he, who has roughly read the original text, knows little about the Red Lotus leader.

Because in the original text, she is not the boss behind the scenes, at most she is a powerful villain.

Su Mo stared down at the tea in the cup for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, there is something that I lied to you earlier."

"Ok?"

"Do you still remember the dream I told you about?"

Mu Bai remembered such an incident, but he didn't have a deep impression.

At that time, Su Mo only briefly described the dream, not to the extent that everything was detailed.

"Actually, that wasn't a dream." Su Mo said, "It was my experience in my previous life."

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "You mean, you were reborn once?"

"Yes." Su Mo said, "I have worked with the Red Lotus Sect in my previous life, so I know them better."

Mubai blinked.

Leaving the Red Lotus Sect aside, he always felt that something was wrong when it came to Su Mo's rebirth: "Have you seen the former Miss Qin with your own eyes?"

"Well, I remember her appearance." Su Mo replied truthfully.

"Then didn't you see that I was a fake from the very beginning?"

Su Mo coughed: "Indeed."

Mu Bai frowned, walked up to Su Mo, lowered his head and pinched his face: "So you've been playing tricks on me?"

"It's not called playing." Su Mo explained, "I'm just cooperating with you."

"Since you knew I was a fake, why didn't you say anything?"

Su Mo smiled and said: "Qinglian Valley is isolated from the world, and I am sitting in a wheelchair and can't move around freely. It is the greatest pleasure to watch you act every day, so why expose it."

"???"

Mu Bai was angry: "I regard you as a good brother, but you use me for entertainment?"

Su Mo hurriedly hugged the man onto his lap, coaxing him patiently: "Don't get angry, the wound will open in a while."

Mu Bai still raised his eyebrows, and put his index finger on the tip of his nose: "No wonder you always take me with you wherever you go, so you are making fun of me."

"No." Su Mo said, "I took you because I like you."

"I believe in your evil."

"Really." Su Mo took off his fingers, with a smile in his eyes, "I originally wanted to go to Qinglian Valley to hide, but I didn't expect to meet someone like you."

"What about me?" Mu Bai asked with a straight face, "Isn't it funny?"

"Not really, it's just that as soon as I saw you—" Su Mo grabbed his index finger and pressed it against his chest, "a smile came out from here."
