This little girl, he was determined. Before he dies, she must have him by her side!
After the waiter finished serving the dishes, he left. Lu Jinnian did not bother with Xiao Su as he picked up the chopsticks from the table and started eating.
”A Jin doesn't like trouble. I can guarantee you that you will stay out of trouble. With this as a precondition for cooperation, I don't think he will reject it.”
Lu JinNian chewed on the dried fish and gave him a 'how can I see' look.
Xiao Su didn't mind. She smiled, ”Since A Jin is a partner, there's no harm in telling him. There are still many people who have their eyes on the treasures of the previous dynasty, but one of them can't be ignored. It's not those powers hiding in ambush, but the Regent Mu Rong Tian Yue.”
Lu JinNian looked at him speechlessly. Mu Rong Tian Yue, the most powerful man among the three kingdoms and the most tyrannical and arrogant man, did Xiao Su think that it was not enough for her to cut off all ties with him just now because she avoided trouble?
”It was Mu Rong Tian Yue who proposed for the marriage between the Ruixi Country and my country. Not only do they want our princess, they've also designated treasures for the dowry. They want General Song Yi to send them on their way.”
Ever since Song Yi had taken over the responsibilities of the former Marquis of Qi Yang and guarded the border with the Ruixi Country, the army had never taken advantage of him. Since Song Yi had taken over the former duke of Qi Yang and guarded the border with the Ruixi Nation, the army had never taken advantage of him.
It would not be easy for the Ming Xuan Kingdom's imperial government to find another capable general like Song Yi.
”Designated dowry... ”You said that Mu Rong Tian Yue was also looking for the treasures of the previous dynasty? Could it be that there's something related to the previous dynasty in the marriage dowry?”
Xiao Su nodded, ”Ming Xuan, Rui Xi, and Nan Yun were all rebuilt by the dukes of the former Da Xia Dynasty. Back then, they all stole the royal treasury of the Da Xia Empire and the treasures of the imperial palace.”
”The Rui Xi Country took over the capital of the Da Xia Empire. They have a rough record of what flowed out of there. What Mu Rong Tian Yue wanted was what flowed out from the imperial palace of the Da Xia Empire that year.”
”Let's not talk about other things. There is a Zither Burning Leaf on the dowry list that we requested, but we can't not be bothered about it.”
Jiao Ye was one of the seven famous zithers gifted to the Xia King by the Grand Xia's zither master. Lu Jinsheng seemed to understand what Xiao Su wanted to cooperate with.
”I'm not interested in the zither, but the clues related to the treasures of Grand Xia are determined. The thing in the zither was found by you, so …” Xiao Su blinked, ”I'll just mention the reward.”
Lu JinNian rolled his eyes at him, ”Aren't you an idiot? When you were cultivating at the Ming Quan, I stuffed the silk in front of you. You should be able to find the location.”
”But I won't remove the guqin. If I can't, I'll break the guqin and find A Jin to repair it. I want to remind him that you still have the real silk cloth in Ming Quan.”
”…” She shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards this black-hearted fellow and allowed those thugs to smelly and beat him up!
He who was cruel to himself would be even more ruthless to others!
Lu Jinnian curled his lips, ”I have a question.”
It was just a question, not a refusal. Xiao Su knew that Lu Jinniang had agreed.
