Chapter 400 Ah Yue, Rest When You're Tired

Because bai wuji and the others were injured, the group could only return to the capital temporarily. Although Su Mianyue was very conflicted in his heart, he could only stay with Yun Zhihua at this time to avoid contact with Ji Xun alone.

Ten days later, the vassal kings from all over the country came to the capital one after another. Outside the four gates of Capital City, there were all the private soldiers brought by these princes. The people of Capital City were all terrified. Among the officials, there were many who were prepared to support a certain prince according to the situation.

Since yesterday, ji xun had very little time to find Su Mianyue. Although Su Mianyue avoided emotional problems, he still used his own dark forces to monitor ji xun's every move of these people.

"Mianyue, are you in love with that boy?" Yun Zhihua asked as he looked at Su Mianyue, who was sitting in a daze by the window.

"The master misunderstood. The disciple had no intention of being a man or a woman," Su Mianyue shook his head and denied.

"I didn't say who I was, and you know what I misunderstood?" Yun Zhihua snorted, glared at Su Mianyue, and said, "You've always liked to laugh. As a teacher, you've never seen anything that has stumped you. But you've been frowning all these days, and there's no other reason than a word of affection."

"The disciple is only worried about his father and brother and Biwu. They have been missing for months and have not been found. The disciple is worried that they will be in danger." Su Mianyue replied half-truthfully.

"Is that part of the reason?" Yun zhihua insisted on asking Su Mianyue what she was thinking. Seeing that she did not look away, she sighed and said, "Silly girl, many people and things in life are too late to cherish once they are missed. As a disciple of the Purple Mist Mountain, you don't have to be trapped by the rules of the world. You just have to follow your heart."

Su Mianyue frowned and looked at Yun Zhihua for a long time without saying anything. Her heart was filled with anxiety and she didn't know how to do it.

Seeing that the creases on Su Mianyue's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Yun Zhihua sighed and shook her head, "You're just too thoughtful. You always have too many worries when you meet with things. If you're a teacher, think about it. You don't owe anyone anything. Just do it from your heart."

Then Yun Zhihua got up and prepared to go out, but Su Mianyue asked, "Where's the master? Just give up?"

Yun Zhihua froze, but did not answer, and stepped out, only to look at his back and feel desolate.

"Since the master can persuade the disciple to see clearly, why doesn't the master strive for his own happiness? Life is short, so why can't the master grasp the present?" Su Mianyue asked in a hurry.

Looking at Yun Zhihua's back, Su Mianyue could only sigh softly. In fact, what she had just said to Yun Zhihua was not suitable for her to hear. It was just that it was easy to say, but it was so difficult to do. Su Mianyue admitted that she did not have the courage to take this step.

The next morning when Su Mianyue woke up, he found a letter by her pillow. Yun Zhihua left it for her. Su Mianyue sat there for a long time after reading it. It was not until the servants came to her with five small and eight small ones that Su Mianyue folded the letter under his pillow and put on a coat to open the door.

"Sister." Eighth called when she saw Su Mianyue.

Seeing that xiao ba looked a little anxious, Su Mianyue waved off his subordinates and let xiao ba into the inner room. He poured her a cup of cold water and pushed the pastry over before saying, "Haven't you had breakfast since you came here so early?"

"Sister, Shi went to follow king qin nan last night and hasn't come back yet. We went out to look for him, but the clue was erased halfway. Could something happen to xiao shi?" Xiao ba said, her eyes turning red.

The five little ones had been together for the past few years, and their relationship was as good as their siblings'. It was reasonable for eighth to be so anxious about Shi's disappearance.

Looking at eighth's tender, budding appearance, Su Mianyue frowned slightly. Even if the children of this era were precocious, but xiao shi was only 12 years old this year. Even if she had learned martial arts in purple mist mountain, it was dangerous for them to go on these missions. It was all her fault.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to look for Shi. Don't do anything these days so that no one else will get into trouble," Su Mianyue comforted.

"But..." Xiao ba opened her mouth, trying to say that she couldn't manage the business in the shop at all.

"Be good, be good." Su Mianyue said softly, patting eighth on the back of his hand and saying, "If xiaoshi is really caught, maybe you are all under the surveillance of others. Next, you should do nothing to help Shi the most. Otherwise, how can I protect all of you?"

"I see." Eighth nodded dejectedly, but then asked, "Sister, Shi will be fine, right?"

"Shi will be fine. I'll send someone to take you back later and keep an eye on them for me," Su Mianyue asked softly.

With Su Mianyue's reassurance, eighth had to take his worries to heart and leave without further delay for Su Mianyue.

After sending eighth away, Su Mianyue was silent for a moment and then ordered someone to prepare a carriage for her. She had to go to see Ji Xun. The disappearance of Shi was not simple. When king qin nan arrived in Imperial Capital, he should have known that Ji Xun would send someone to spy on him but still take him away. It was probably Shi who knew the secret.

With the token given by Ji Xun, it was not difficult for Su Mianyue to enter the palace. Soon, Su Mianyue met Ji Xun in the side hall where Ji Xun temporarily dealt with the government affairs.

He did not tell Su Mianyue that he had left many ministers behind and rushed over. Ji Xun was a little excited about Su Mianyue's willingness to enter the palace. At least his expression could not conceal his joy, even though he knew that Su Mianyue did not enter the palace to agree to marry him.

"Shi is missing." With his knuckles tapping on the table, Su Mianyue looked at Ji Xun and said solemnly, "He was in charge of monitoring king qin nan last night. The last place where he disappeared was erased by someone. Those monkey cubs couldn't find out either."

Ji Xun restrained his smile. He knew the five little ones' abilities. Although their martial arts were not top-notch, their tracking skills were no less than those of the secret guards under Ji Xun, especially their light skills and hidden weapons. But they could be quietly taken away. It was obvious that the other party had a master in their hands.

"King qin nan, I didn't expect it to be him." Ji Xun's face was cold and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He didn't have to hide himself in front of Su Mianyue.

When the vassal kings entered the capital, because a small number of people were still on the road, Ji Xun did not summon these people. He just let them stay in the post house temporarily, and did not stop them from meeting anyone or meeting privately. However, the secret guards kept watching secretly, which resulted in insufficient manpower. Su Mianyue then took over some of the surveillance tasks.

Among all the vassal kings, king qin nan lived in seclusion. Even when he went out, he was always alone, but he did not expect this person to be the real ruthless character.

"I will send a secret guard to investigate this matter. Your men will withdraw for the time being and search for clues in secret." Knowing that Su Mianyue valued those monkeys, Ji Xun did not want her to worry about it. "Don't worry, I will return Shi to you safe and sound."

Shaking his head, Su Mianyue said in a low voice, "There's no point in leaving now. I'll send someone else with experience to replace them. Just let them settle down for the time being. Even if we don't assign them a task, they won't disappoint me."

"Okay." Ji Xun nodded and looked at Su Mianyue's green eyes. Knowing that she hadn't had a good rest recently, he asked, "Yue, you have to take care of yourself. Rest when you're tired."
