Chapter 279 The Emperor Was Furious

Ji Xun did not know how many people were involved in a fire in the palace. Since he got the job and got the pay, it meant that he had to pay some price, including the price of life.

At this moment, yuan shaoqiu was slowly tasting the fine wine that he had brought out from the palace with the wine pot in his hand. The most he could say was that he regretted not bringing out a few more jars of fine wine. Ji Xun did not say anything but despised him and had to have so many hands to hold more.

Sitting at the table, Ji Xun was carefully cutting open a yellowed book that he found in the wine cellar. If it weren't for this book, their original plan was to open their stomachs and drink wine for a night before leaving, so Ji Xun was forced to carry almost 200 kilograms of wine out of the palace by himself. This was not even the altar that the two of them had transported to the secret passage.

"Hey, is there any treasure in a broken book? Look at how serious you are." No one paid any attention to him. Yuan Shaoqiu felt so bored that he lost his original taste of alcohol and could only find words for himself.

Ji Xun did not reply until he cut the book open and revealed the old parchment map.

Ji Xun took a look at the ancient chinese characters that he could not recognize, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes. He placed the parchment map carefully and carefully, and Yuan Shaoqiu took a sip of wine.

"Am I right? Is it really a treasure?" Yuan Shaoqiu tutted.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded and explained, "I don't know how many copies of this map are. Plus, I have three in my hand. One is from Tianlan, and the other is from Heaven Wolf Country."

"So if you want to gather all this stuff, I'm afraid you'll have to travel all over the country. This is quite troublesome." Yuan Shaoqiu touched his head. He was afraid of trouble the most in his life, just as he hated to endorse when he was a child, but some things had to be done.

"Indeed." Ji Xun threw the broken book aside casually, "Fortunately, this map was mentioned in the royal secret service, but it was recorded that hundreds of years ago, various parties on the mainland had been searching for it, but nothing was found. Some things in the historical changes were already hard to tell whether they were true or not. Even if this treasure existed, it might not be able to gather all the maps, and after that, it might not be possible to find the treasure. So I'm not going to waste my manpower on this."

"You're probably the only one in the world who treats treasure hunting as a waste." Yuan Shaoqiu was not enthusiastic about it, so he said, "When you want to find it one day, remember to tell me, I will definitely walk all over the mountains and rivers for you."

Ji Xun smiled lightly. This was his childhood friend. Even though he had not seen his friendship last for many years, it was not in vain that he had been searching for him for many years.

"Not at all. You'd better continue to be your Wine Man. You've never been interested in court, so why bother with your life for these worldly things. Besides, getting this treasure doesn't mean you can keep it. Maybe it's the beginning of a disaster." Although Ji Xun was happy to collect a few maps, he was not obsessed with the treasure.

Seeing that Ji Xun was so open-minded, Yuan Shaoqiu generously threw a pot of wine at him and smiled, "This is the Ji Xun I know. Common things like gold and silver still earn more sense of accomplishment, and no one dares to covet them."

Ji Xun smiled but did not say a word. After drinking half a pot of wine with Yuan Shaoqiu, he asked, "Have you ever gone to find a benefactor?"

Yuan Shaoqiu's face darkened, and he shook his head for a long time, "I won't look for him. He's the safest."

Yuan Shaoqiu had been the crown prince's companion since he was a child, and he was half a year older than Ji Xun, and he had learned martial arts well. When he led Ji Xun away from the pursuit of soldiers, he had an adventure, and this was how he was today.

But yuan zhenghan was a pure scholar. The reason why he was allowed to live until now by Yun Wansheng was to catch Ji Xun and the people who died loyal to Ji Xun. He was surrounded by people sent by Yun Wansheng to follow him.

Ji Xun knew this. As a client, yuan zhenghan knew how Yuan Shaoqiu, who had grown up in the palace since he was a child, could not know.

"I am ashamed of my teacher." Ji Xun raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. Unless he could take back the mountains and rivers, he could not let the yuan family father and son get together at all. He could only watch yuan zhenghan drift away and suffer.

"This is what a subject should do. My father has no regrets." I have no regrets. Yuan Shaoqiu added silently.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Shaoqiu asked, "When are you going to do it?"

"Before all the vassals raised their troops." Ji Xun did not hide it.

"Soon." Yuan Shaoqiu sighed. Although he did not recognize Ji Xun, he had been secretly helping Ji Xun to do some things over the years, but Ji Xun never knew about it. He knew the situation in the current dynasty and raised his wine pot to Ji Xun. Yuan shaoqiu said, "I wish you success."

"It's us," Ji Xun replied.

"Yes, we succeed, haha! We must succeed." Yuan Shaoqiu burst into laughter.

The war in the Yan Country was about to erupt. Although there was no civil war in the Yan Country, it was also very dangerous. After Mu Tinng wanted to take Su Mianyue back to the palace, gu ling completely turned his back on him. When Gu Qinglin had any instructions, he would attack Mu Tinng. He would rather destroy Mu Tinng with his own hands than give him a chance to be with Su Mianyue.

Mu Tinng did not know Gu Linng's decision. After Mu Chen came back with a serious injury and reported that Su Mianyue had been robbed, and even the identity of the other party was not clear, Mu Tinng's mood had been in a raging stage.

He sent waves and waves of people to search for Su Mianyue. Finally, he sent people to Linzhou City to find out that Su Mianyue had gone back to Linzhou City, but for some unknown reason, he left with his maidservant. After that, there was really no news.

Mu Tinng was going crazy. It was not easy to find out about Su Mianyue, but he was still alive.

Although Mu Chen was not punished, the fact that he was grounded in Prince Rui's Mansion was enough to prove Mu Tinng's concern for Su Mianyue. It was obvious that Mu Chen was suspicious of letting Su Mianyue leave and of not paying much attention to Mu Chen's serious injury.

It wasn't long before they sent Su Mianyue to the Hengyuan to find out why he left Linzhou City and soon got the news.

Su Mianyue had appeared in Wanyan Lin's posthumous ceremony before, and no one had seen her leave the palace. From then on, as if she had disappeared from the world, why didn't Mu Tinng understand?

"Wanyan Lin, you are so good. Not only did the woman who took me not treat her well, but she was treated as a forbidden group. Do you really think I dare not attack your Hengyuan?" Mu Tinng was furious.

The emperor was enraged by the floating corpses for thousands of miles, so he immediately used the name of Wanyan Lin sending people to poison and murder Empress Dowager when he was in the Tianlan, and ordered to send troops to attack the Hengyuan, which was bound to be included in the territory of the Tianlan to avenge Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager was the mother of the country. In this age of filial piety, the parents were killed to avenge their blood debt, but the way the emperor avenged them was more brutal.

At this moment, Wanyan Lin, who was listening to the news from the clock, didn't know what was going to happen to the Hengyuan. His anger made him lose his mind.
