General is a Villain

The so-called butterfly effect was proposed by American meteorologist Lorenz in 1963, who said that the occasional flap of a butterfly wing in the Amazon rainforest could cause a tornado in Texas in two weeks.

In other words, even the slightest deviation could have serious consequences.

This time, the appearance of the Blood Lotus Cult was like a butterfly effect. Because Cui Chen and the rest left the Green Cloud Stronghold, they did not act like the lush green men in books. Therefore, the Blood Lotus Cult appeared to supplement them.

She was assassinated, Yun Jiao was framed, and it seemed like it was all because of her.

Yi Xiaoqiao was a little nervous. She had never thought that the Qingyun Stronghold was only going down the mountain and would cause such serious consequences. More importantly, the Blood Lotus Cult was from Xizang, so the series of reactions caused by this matter was unpredictable.

It was already night. The candles in the room were dim. A moth flew into the screen unsteadily and pounced on the bright candle flame, coaxing the white smoke to rise. Half of its wings had been burnt off and it lay down powerlessly.

"I am not a bandit!" An angry roar suddenly sounded out in the room. Zhang XV raised his head, his eyes filled with anger, "Muyi, why did you say I would become a bandit just because you told me to be one? I don't agree!"

"We finally reunited, and I don't want to be a bandit." Among the crowd, there were some who agreed in a low voice. Yi Xiaoqiao recognized that person's name was Shitou, and he was also quite a character in the Greencloud Stronghold.

"My son is already seven or eight years old. My wife is taking care of the old people. I can't leave them behind. My wife cried with me for a long time." Wang Xiaohu's eyes turned red as he spoke, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

"I also can't bear to part with my daughter. If I were to leave now, she would already be married. If I were to have a father as a bandit, how would I marry my daughter …"

Everyone was discussing in a low voice. They were all feeling a bit sad.

Yi Xiaoqiao raised his eyes and sized them up. When he saw the dejected expressions of everyone present, they all revealed signs of heartache. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

That's right, she remembered. It was written in the book that the reason why Qianyu was able to recruit these bandits was because he had rescued their loved ones. These bandits remembered Qianyu's kindness and thus willingly left the mountain.

In other words … It was Muyi who rescued their family, and now their family was reunited?

The family reunited much earlier than in the book.

The butterfly effect was too convenient.

Yi Xiaoqiao turned around to look at Muyi. He looked indifferent and emotionless, as if he was completely confident. She squeezed his hand. "When did you rescue their family?"

Mu Yi An lowered his eyes and looked at her with a gentle gaze. He smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that nothing would happen to them."

"It will be fine?" Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes rolled around and his brows knitted together. Could it be that the meaning behind those words was … They've never been kidnapped? But in the book, they were saved by someone sent by Qianyu. How could there be such a big discrepancy? Could it be the butterfly effect as well?

Yi Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes, which were full of smiles. She pursed her lips and said in a nervous voice, "Did you send someone to save them before they were kidnapped?"

Mu Yi'an didn't answer and asked, "You didn't say that. Should we let them have no worries?"

Yi Xiaoqiao's hand slowly tightened. So she was overthinking it. So Muyi wasn't really that heartless of a person. So it turned out that Muyi had chased them for so many years not only to catch them, but also to reunite their entire family.

For the first time, Yi Xiaoqiao felt that Lin Yi was probably right. Since Muyi was confident, he couldn't be bothered to speak of it. As a person, he could only look at the results and not the process.

She opened her mouth, but before her voice could come out, Muyi knocked on the table: "I'm not asking you to be bandits, I'm just asking you to snatch back the Greencloud Stronghold."

Everyone quieted down and looked at him.

"Green Cloud Mountain is my country's land, how can I let the West Side of the Blood Lotus Cult rule the entire mountain, or even do whatever they want? If word of this gets out, the world will laugh at us no matter what. Everyone will think that the warriors of our country are weak and incompetent! " His words were sonorous and forceful, resounding on the ground. The hearts of those who heard them shuddered, as if they had suddenly regained their clarity.

"Brother Yi's words make sense, the Blood Lotus Cult is using this banner to cheat and it is very obvious that they do not have good intentions. Today, they are here to assassinate Brother Yi, and tomorrow, they might kill some other imperial officials. If we allow them to develop, sooner or later, no one in our country will be able to use our country."

"Exactly! "We originally joined the army to protect our families and protect our countries, but now that we have been driven into a corner by the Sect Leader of the Church of the Blood Lotus, and have even been embraced by others, how can you and I endure this!" Chen Congzhou raised his voice, "The Green Cloud Mountain is our territory, we can't let them take it!"

"We were in the army before, but we're no longer in the army now!" Zhang Wu discontentedly shouted, "You can totally get the army to go, why are you looking for us?"

Everyone nodded their heads as they were led by him.

Mu Yi An smiled and gently caressed Yi Xiao Qiao's little hand through his clothes: "According to what you guys have said, when you guys were deserters, I should have killed all of you now."

"…" Everyone's hearts trembled.

Skinny Monkey smiled in embarrassment. "General Mu, please don't scare us."

"I'll give you guys time to think about it." Mu Yi An picked up the teacup on the table and said, "Tell me after I finish drinking."

Yi Xiaoqiao: The first time I heard that the time it takes to make a cup of tea is the time it takes to finish a cup of tea.

Furthermore, it was clear that he only had a mouthful of water in his teacup.

After finishing his tea, Mu Yi'an placed the teacup on the table and asked, "Have you decided?"

His voice was neither slow nor slow. It was filled with a strong sense of confidence, as if he already knew the answer.

As soon as his voice fell, Cui Sheng sneered, "I'll do it. I've lost my parents since I was a kid, so I don't have any worries. The Blood Lotus Cult has evil intentions. I definitely won't let them do whatever they want."

"Me too." Chen Congzhou stood up.

"Come on!" Cui Huang waved his hand, pushed him back, and pointed at them. "All of you are older than me, and you even have family members on your old arms and legs. When you get old, you have to rest.

Brother Yi, I'll go. Give me a few Black Armored Army soldiers.

Mu Yi'an rubbed Yi Xiao Qiao's finger, casting a sidelong glance at Cui Chen, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Green Cloud Mountain is so steep that it is hard to attack."

"I have a way to get in."

"There are many criminals here."

"I have a way to kill them."

"Bandit Head knows kung fu."

"I have the Dragon Blade."

"Most of their followers are from the Qian nationality."

"Kill them all!" Cui Sheng's voice faltered as he lifted his head to look at him. Of course, if they were from Xizang, they could have all been killed. However, the people of the Qiangguo Country were unarmed civilians. As a soldier of the border, Cui Chen couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.

Mu Yi An continued, "There are more than 100 commoners on the mountain."

Cui Chen held the Dragon Blade tightly, his face gradually turned red. He was angry and helpless, but he was also a little angry and kept his head down without saying a word.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked at Muyi with a smile on her face. She knew that he must have something on his mind, but she did not say it out loud, so she rolled her eyes: "There is a saying that goes, 'If you don't belong to the same race, you must have a different heart', but sometimes even if you are from the same family, even if you are from the same family, you still have a different heart. These people are bewitched by the Blood Lotus Cult, so if they really become traitors, then they will be the people who will suffer."

Cui Chen raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Give preferential treatment to the captives, surrender and do not kill. If you know your wrongs and do not correct them, kill without mercy." Yi Xiaoqiao did not realize that his voice was terrifyingly cold.

Cui Chen looked towards Muyi, silently asking for his opinion. He saw Muyi comforting Yi Xiaoqiao's hand. The corners of his mouth were full of smiles, but he did not say anything. He was obviously very appreciative of her words.

"Yes sir!" Cui Huang smiled and nodded his head, his face was also full of happiness, as if Yi Xiao Qiao being able to make such a decision made him proud.

"However." Mu Yi'an spoke again, "All of you have to go together. We from the Greencloud Stronghold will advance and retreat at the same time."

"Brother Yi …"

"Don't worry, I will send some dark guards to help. I will not make you sacrifice yourselves fearlessly." Mu Yi An waved his hand, leaving Cui Yian and the others no choice but to retreat.

Once they left, Yi Xiao Qiao hurriedly retracted her hand. He had even kneaded out a cocoon with her delicate hand!

Mu Yi An looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she didn't leave his embrace, he felt a little strange. He focused his eyes and noticed that her expression wasn't right: "What's wrong?"

Yi Xiaoqiao turned around to look at him and asked sternly, "Muyi, have those people really never been kidnapped? Are you the one who rescued them from Xizang, or have they never left the Qiangguo?"

Butterfly effect, you have to wait for the butterfly to flap its wings. Cui Huang and the others' past is already a matter of years ago, it has nothing to do with her.

But in that case … Wasn't there a problem with the records in the storybook?
