C66 (2/2)
”Mommy, you're back!”
Mu Wenyun said, ”It's already so late, why aren't you sleeping?”
”I was going to sleep, but I thought of something. I heard from Uncle Jin that during the new year, the Emperor is going to announce the selection of the Crown Prince.
To announce it so soon?
After Mu Wan Yun settled Amu down, she sat on the table and took out the letter that Xuanyuan Shishi had given her. She used her blade to pick up the flame paint and took out the letter.
She immediately used the Crow Wind to contact Rong Chu, but was unable to do so.
”So this is a trap!”
A few days later, the snow continued to fall for many days. After that, the weather became especially clear and the snow began to melt.
New Year was coming.
The entire Great Qin Nation was calm on the surface, but the waves in the shadows were surging.
Mu Wan told Yao Ming her fake name and brought Amu down the mountain.
First, she contacted Manager Jin, entrusted Amu to him, and then arranged the related matters. After that, she made a new leather mask to disguise herself as Zuo Chenfeng, and swaggered into Jin Yu Lie's study.
Jin Yulai, who was in his study, suddenly raised his head.
”Why are you back so soon?” he asked, but as soon as the words left his mouth his eyes narrowed and a faint smile spread across his lips.
”It's you.”
He guessed it at a glance.
He was very surprised about Mu Wan's appearance, but he had already expected it.
Mu Wan pouted, ”I was on my way here and no one noticed me. How did you see that?”
Jin Yu Lie walked up to Mu Wan and stood in front of her, very close to her.
Some of the guards in the distance saw this and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Master, when did you …
Needless to say, they were overthinking it.
Jin Yu Lie stretched out his hand to the opening of the human skin mask that Mu Wan hid behind his ear. With a hook of his fingernail, he took off the human skin mask and played with it in his hand.
”Your appearance changing technique is indeed very good. However, I have been friends with Zuo Chenfeng for so many years, I am just too familiar with him.” You don't look bad, but you're half an inch too tall. ”
With such a small gap yet being able to see through everything, Mu Wenjian's heart skipped a beat. This Yu Lie was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Jin Yu Lie returned the mask to her, and turned around to walk behind the table, taking out an envelope. Mu Wan recognized it, it was the letter she had previously entrusted Chu Lian to bring to Jin Yu Lie.
”I didn't expect him to be a good friend of yours, much less that someone of his status would be willing to do all these things.”
It seemed that Jin Yu Lie had something to say, but Mu Wan Yun did not fully understand the meaning behind his words.
She thought Jin Yu Lie was referring to the fact that he already knew of Rong Chu's identity as the number one swordsman of the Jianghu as well as the identity of the bandit saint Mo Yu.
She asked, ”Where is he?”
Strange, since Rong Chu had already sent the letter to Jin Yu Lie, logically speaking, he should have left a message for her, but in reality, ever since that day, there had been no more news about her. She had contacted him many times with the Crow's Wind, but there was no response at all.
”The Thief Saint Mo Yu came and went without a trace. He left his letter and left. ”The Duke of Jin's estate has become an inn. Anyone can come and go as they wish.”
This person was so stingy! I didn't send the letter for his own good. How ungrateful.
Mu Wanyun was a bit depressed. These days, why was she always looking for someone to pass her days? She hadn't found her foster father yet, so was there any news from here?
Seeing that she seemed to be worried, Jin Yu Lie suddenly felt a blockage in his heart. That feeling was a bit uncomfortable. When he received the letter from Rong Chu, he knew that it was news Mu Yunji had brought back to him at the first possible moment. Although everything in the letter was within his control, it made him happy for a long time.
After allowing Chu Feng to enter, the dark guards had failed in their duty and were not punished.
Now that he saw Mu Wan with his own eyes, he suddenly felt that the weather outside the window had turned a lot brighter. However, he was worried about another man when he saw her in front of him.
The sky seemed to have darkened a bit.
”Don't worry about him, I seem to have heard him talk about something.” Jin Yulie casually said. He seemed very casual, but only he knew the truth. He didn't want Mu Wan to care about other men, even if it was just for a moment.
What important matter would there be with Rong Chu? Unless he took a fancy to that family's treasure. Thinking up to here, Mu Wanyun suddenly found out that his son was greedy for money. It was hard to say if this wasn't because he was greedy for money.
”You came to me just to let me know? Or have you completely grasped the abilities of the five great elders and Demon Nether? ” Since she didn't complete the mission, she should have guessed the reason why she asked Zuo Chen Feng to bring Amu to her. If she wasn't staying in Mount Kunlun, what was she doing here at this critical juncture?
”Oh yeah, I sent you a message on purpose.”
Send another letter?
Jin Yu Lie took the letter that Mu Wan handed to him, his eyes dimmed as he scanned through the paper. The letter was from Imperial Concubine Yu to the general of Hua-Yang City.
However, it was intercepted. If this letter was sent to Hua-Yang City, the consequences would be unimaginable.
”Where did you get it?” There was an important secret involved in this letter.
”You definitely wouldn't have thought that the Princess of Da Xia, Xuanyuan Xu'er, told me to bring this to you. She said that it was her sincerity.”
Because of Imperial Consort Yu, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had recently reached a climax. Because of Imperial Consort Yu, the Third Prince was determined to obtain the position of Crown Prince.
The appearance of this letter had turned everything upside down.
”What are you going to do?” Mu Wenyun looked at Jin Yulie in a daze. When she came here, she had already obtained the news from Manager Jin, and she also knew that Third Prince Chunyu Hao's chances of winning seemed to be higher.
But the appearance of the letter was a new opportunity.
