Chapter 394 - 394Xuan Li actually wanted to suspect this matter to Wei Guanshu, but Wei Guanshu was currently bedridden and had yet to wake up from her coma. Even the servant Liu"er who served by her side was bedridden and recuperating from her burns.
Furthermore, the prince had sent people to monitor them closely, so it was impossible for them to send the news out.
It was as if Zhong Lixian lived right next to him!
"Zhong Lixian is injured while hunting, you can"t move!" When Mu Jin read the last part of the letter, her frown deepened. He didn"t know if this was Zhong Lixian"s excuse or if she was really injured.
"Your Highness, this must be Zhong Lixian"s tricks. If we go to Xiling, I"m afraid that if Your Highness wants to leave here unscathed, it would be difficult … …" Xuan Li was firmly opposed to Mu Jin going to Xiling.
The Mo City was very important to the Eastern Chu and was very close to the borders of other nations. If there was an enemy that took advantage of the time the Duke was in the middle of Xiling to attack the Mo City, and Zhong Lixian managed to force the Duke to stay in the Xiling, once the enemy attacked the Mo City, it would be equivalent to opening a gap. Naturally, with the Duke"s ability, he would be able to force the enemy out of the Eastern Chu once again.
Mu Jin looked at the contents of the letter again before placing it in front of the candle. A ball of faint purple flame quickly devoured the letter, leaving behind a pile of ashes.
"No matter what Zhong Lixian plans to do, he still won"t dare to touch this king!" "I remember going to Xiling Kingdom ten years ago. The plum blossoms there were blooming like a raging fire, beautiful beyond compare, especially when it"s snowing. There"s a unique flavor to them …" Mu Jin"s tone was filled with determination as he spoke in a cold and unyielding tone. "This king remembers going there ten years ago." "Phew …" "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….
From Mu Jin"s words, Xuan Li knew that Mu Jin was definitely going to Xiling.
But with the current state of the Princess Xi Ya, if Zhong Lixian saw it, she would definitely investigate further.
"Then does Your Highness plan to bring Princess Xi Ya along?" Xuan Li asked.
Mu Jin pursed her lips, the taste of condensation spreading from the corner of her lips, "If this king were to bring Princess Xi Ya along, of course I wouldn"t bring him back …"
These words had a deeper meaning, but Xuan Li was at a loss when she heard them.
When Mu Jin returned to the side hall, Ning Zheyan was already sitting on the soft couch, happily playing with Qian Ye.
Mu Jin walked in silently with her hands behind her back. The four of them were having a great time with each other. A small black square table was filled with thousands of leaves and crushed silver.
The silver pieces beside Wei Yuanwei were the most piled up, and only a few coins were left on the table. The other two servants, on the other hand, might not have enough silver, but they had actually taken out all the jewelry they were wearing.
Ning Zheyan looked at the card in her hand that was in a dilemma for a long time. When she raised her head, she saw Mu Jin standing behind Wei Yuanwei with a thoughtful expression. If you know how, why not teach me? "I"ve almost lost all my silver taels to your w.a.n.gfei. If this goes on, I"ll lose my hundred fold peony robe to your w.a.n.gfei."
If Ning Zheyan didn"t remind her, Wei Yuanwei wouldn"t have known that there was someone standing behind him. She turned around and saw Mu Jin standing behind her, silently, with his thin lips pursed and his lips as pale as water.
That pair of pitch-black eyes looked at her even more deeply.
Wei Yuanwei slightly cracked her lips, and said to Ning Zheyan: "Master Ning, this Qian Ye is just a toy for the women in the backyard to pa.s.s the time. How could Your Highness do that? It"s best if you don"t let the Prince teach you, or else even your underwear will lose to me! "
Hearing Wei Yuanwei"s words, a hint of light flashed across Ning Zheyan"s beautiful face, and the corner of his rouge red lips slightly rose: "Then Zheyan doesn"t want to play anymore, what women play with is boring … …"
With that, Ning Zheyan loosened her hand and was about to put the thousand leaves on the table.
Without waiting for Wei Yuanwei to stop his, Mu Jin took over the thousand leaves in Ning Zheyan"s hands and said, "Since Master Ning is not interested, then this king will come and play with the w.a.n.gfei!"
Ning Zheyan and Wei Yuanwei both looked at Xie w.a.n.g in surprise.
"I only thought that your military strategy was unrivalled, but I didn"t think that you would actually play with Qian Ye." Ning Zheyan opened the jade bone fan in his hand, and a high quality painting of a beauty appeared. It lightly covered half of Ning Zheyan"s face, and only revealed her pair of bewitching eyes, which matched up with the painting on the jade bone fan in his hand.
Mu Jin slightly raised the corner of her lips as her pitch-black eyes turned as deep as water. "Master Ning, if you feel that it"s hot here, you can go outside and enjoy the wind!"
In such a cold weather, there were still coals burning inside the house, but Ning Zheyan took out a Jade Bone Fan, although everyone knew that this was only an object taken out by Ning Zheyan, Mu Jin did not give up this chance to mock him.
The beautiful face of the demon under the jade bone fan immediately darkened, with a "pa" sound, it folded the jade bone, then stood up and walked over to Wei Yuanwei and sat down in a cross-legged position.
Ning Zheyan moved behind Wei Yuanwei: "Little Tail, win back the Featherless Dagger that you have with!"
Small tail? Mu Jin"s eyes that were as deep as water suddenly looked up, and it was as if an ice cube had hit a hard rock and shattered.
They were this close? Ning Zheyan actually called Wei Yuanwei Little Tail.
Wei Yuanwei"s eyes did not look at Mu Jin, but instead looked at Ning Zheyan with some suspicion. "What is a Featherless Dagger? Is that all right? "
Ning Zheyan pursed her lips and laughed: "This blade"s edge is extremely thin, it"s small and convenient to carry. The blade is extremely sharp, it is as hard as steel, and it does not have any bloodstains.
Wei Yuanwei listened and nodded his head as if he understood something. Mu Jin had such a dagger on his body, why didn"t she know about it?
"Since the Master Ning wants this dagger by name, then this king will use it as a wager. But whether or not I can win will depend on w.a.n.gfei"s ability!" As Mu Jin said this, she took out a small exquisite dagger from her sleeve. The dagger looked quite ordinary, even a bit old. However, if one looked at the inscriptions on the handle of the dagger, they would feel that it was quite old.
Seeing Mu Jin taking out the dagger, Ning Zheyan"s eyes overflowed with a bright light.
