Starting in Exile: Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Lucky Little Wife

Chapter 19 Mu Zetian Wants to Follow Gu Liuli to Attack the Snow Mountain Peak

When Gu Liuli typed out her plan to go to Xuefeng Mountain to teach those bandits a lesson and subdue them, Xiao Jingchuan flatly refused: "No way! It's too dangerous!"

Although he sensed that Lu Huaichuan, the bandit leader, was not as simple as he seemed, he couldn't let Gu Liuli take any risks.

The terrain of Snow Mountain Peak is treacherous, and it is not easy to attack it. When General Mu Zetian heard their words, he said in a low voice, "Back then, I was ordered to attack this mountain. I thought those mountain bandits were nothing special, but who knew they were so cunning!" The person who spoke reported the situation to Xiao Jingchuan with a solemn expression.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Liuli was about to make a move when she was suddenly grabbed tightly by a large hand. Turning her head, she saw it was Xiao Jingchuan, who shook his head slightly and said softly, "Don't rush, hold your hand, this person is one of our own!"

The three words "our own people" were enough to tell that Mu Zetian was Xiao Jingchuan's uncle and the current empress's younger brother.

As mentioned in the book, Xiao Jingchuan was poisoned and was on his way to exile. On the way, Xue Shanfeng was killed by bandits while trying to save Xiao Jingchuan, and his body was dismembered!

However, these are all rumors. The real story is that Mu Zetian was slashed and kidnapped by bandits to the Snow Mountain Peak. The bandit leader knew that he was the Great General Protector of the Nation and wanted to win him over. So the two had a pleasant conversation. In particular, when they learned that the current Crown Prince War God was framed, they used the bandits as one of their bases.

"Uncle, the situation is urgent. We must plan ahead and make proper arrangements, otherwise we will be put in a passive position!"

Mu Zetian looked at his nephew with concern, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

"Chuan'er, your uncle knows you are resourceful, but what you just said about going deep into Xuefeng Mountain is really inappropriate. You must know that those mountain bandits are all vicious and wicked people. Moreover, sending a girl alone is absolutely unacceptable!"

As Mu Zetian spoke, he turned his gaze to Gu Liuli, who was standing to the side. He already knew that Gu Liuli was a substitute bride, and he had recently seen how good Gu Hang was to Gu Yue on the road. Jia Shang had saved his nephew, so he didn't have much resistance to her.

"Sending a weak girl like you to your home is like sending a lamb to the slaughter!" Mu Zetian lowered his voice, not knowing whether he was afraid of scaring Gu Liuli or afraid that others would hear.

However, Gu Liuli was not afraid of Mu Zetian's dissuasion. Her eyes were firm and she said resolutely, "Uncle, I don't take those bandits seriously at all!"

If it weren't for the mission issued by the system, those bandits would probably be beheaded by now!

Gu Liuli's gaze left no room for doubt. No one could become an obstacle to her completing her mission!

No matter what their decision is, she is determined to complete the system task!

No one can stop it!

Standing to the side, Xiao Jingchuan silently watched Gu Liuli. He knew very well that Gu Liuli was hiding many secrets.

Perhaps she truly possesses a unique method to successfully subdue these ferocious bandits? Thinking of this, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but say, "Uncle, in my opinion, we should listen to Liuli's suggestion! If we can really subdue them, it would be a good thing for us!"

Gu Liuli looked incredulous. She hadn't expected Xiao Jingchuan to stand up for her without saying a word. She felt a faint flutter in her heart for this prince from the book!

Mu Zetian and his nephew exchanged a glance and realized that they couldn't persuade him at all. Instead, the nephew was excited. Hearing what his nephew had just said, he suddenly remembered that Gu Liuli seemed to have a very powerful weapon that could shoot a big hole in a person's body from fifty meters away!

“Alright, since that’s the case, your uncle won’t say anything more, but,” he said, then turned to Gu Liuli and said, “Liuli, your uncle wants to go with you! Consider it your uncle protecting you on behalf of Chuan’er!”

Gu Liuli looked at Xiao Jingchuan, implying that his uncle didn't know that although the poison hadn't been cleared, he could already stand for three or four hours.

Seeing that there were many people around, Xiao Jingchuan didn't tell Mu Chun and Liu Lan.

If Mu Zetian had toned down his lecherous look a little, perhaps Gu Liuli would have believed him.

After all, she possessed a mysterious weapon. As a great general, she naturally enjoyed wielding swords and spears, so how could she not be interested in such a powerful weapon!

Besides, it's not certain who will protect whom by then!

As the three of them began to formally discuss their plan, Hou Deming rode quickly to the city gate, shouting, "Hurry up and open the gate for me! I'm exhausted!"

The city guards, like well-trained soldiers of the 21st century, stood at the gate with rubber sticks. Just as they were about to curse someone for calling them "master," they turned around and found that it was Lord Hou, the commander of the palace.

"Didn't the lord escort Gu Hang's family to meet up with the exiled Zhao Hu? Why is he back at this time!"

Hou Deming wiped the sweat from his brow on horseback. "It's been delivered. Open the gate quickly, I have other matters to attend to!"

The officers and soldiers immediately opened the city gates, and Hou Deming rode his Akhal-Teke horse at full speed into the city.

At this moment, a dark figure closely followed Hou Deming on the city wall.

Instead of returning to his own residence, he rode his horse to a house marked "Prime Minister's Residence".

"Knock knock!" When Xiao Si slowly opened the door, he couldn't see who it was at first because his vision was blurry. But as he gradually regained consciousness, he was surprised to find that it was Lord Hou standing outside the door! Lord Hou looked solemn, as if he had something important to tell him. Xiao Si dared not be negligent.

Upon opening it and taking a closer look, he saw it was Lord Hou. He immediately turned around and ran into the inner cabinet to fetch the Prime Minister.

"My lord, Lord Hou, the commander of the palace, has returned and is now waiting in the main hall!"

A deep, resonant voice came from inside the room: "Okay, I understand! You can go now!"

Meanwhile, in a corner not far from the gate, a dark figure quietly watched Hou Deming's destination after he entered the Prime Minister's residence.

Once confirmed, the dark figure, as swift as a ghost, used its lightness skill to vanish without a trace. Its speed was like lightning streaking across the night sky, reaching the palace at top speed.

"Coo-coo! Coo-coo!" The sound of a pigeon.

The emperor, who was sleeping with Mu Qingling, heard the sounds of animals outside. He carefully got up, covered the person next to him with a blanket, looked at his beloved woman with affection, and then got up to leave!

"Your Majesty, Hou Deming has returned from his exile and went straight to the Prime Minister's residence without reporting to the emperor!" A hidden guard knelt on one knee and respectfully reported his observations to the emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Han was dressed in a dragon robe, exuding an awe-inspiring imperial aura. However, upon hearing this news, he did not show much surprise or anger. He simply narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

Clearly, Xiao Han had already made some guesses and plans regarding this situation.
