C55

In the evening, they had an extra plate of sugary elbows on the table.

Mu Xiaoling sat in front of the table and didn't see Xiao Yu.

NanGong Qi looked at that elbow and drooled, "Xiao Yu left the valley, it's about time he returned."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Yu walked in and sat beside Mu Xiaoling. "Go to the royal palace. I know you're worried about that place, so I'll have a look at the situation."

Mu Xiaoling asked, "How's the situation?"

Xiao Yu said, "The poison has already been eliminated. No one has been injured or injured. It's just that this matter has injured the foundation of the Yan Country's dragon lineage. I'm afraid it won't be possible to recover in a short period of time."

Mu Xiaoling thought about the Du Family. They were ambitious, so how could they not make a move? "Where is the Du Family?"

Xiao Yu said: "The Du Family colluded with the Xia Country, they are preparing to rebel."

China and Yan Country were neighbors, and their strengths weren't too far apart. Moreover, as long as they annexed one side of the country and expanded their territory, they would be able to enter the second tier from the third-tier countries. Since Yan Country was in chaos today, how could China miss such a good opportunity?

Mu Xiaoling thought for a moment. She couldn't just ignore this matter. After so many years of working as a secret service agent, she felt a sense of patriotism. Even if it was in another time and place, she was still a native.

Xiao Yu continued, "The situation in Yan Country is unstable, the Emperor intends to use the method of marriage to temporarily stabilize China. Three days later, Princess Qian Yang will go to China to reconcile with the Emperor and marry him as her wife. Meng Yifan has already been summoned back to the Imperial Palace and given the title of general to escort the marriage team."

Mu Xiaoling pondered for a moment. Now that China was like a dragon's lair and a tiger's lair, Meng Yifan was afraid of death. "What do you think if we join the wedding team?"

This question caused Xiao Yu to be slightly surprised. In the past, no matter what matter it was, Mu Xiaoling would solve it by herself and would never ask for other people's opinion. This was the first time, "That's fine." With him here and there protecting her, nothing big could happen.

Since he had made his decision, Mu Xiaoling could rest and recover in peace. The day after the wedding set out, she stood up and went to the public road outside the capital.

There was a teahouse beside the official road. Mu Xiaoling and Xiao Yu sat in the tea house and waited quietly. After half an incense stick of time, the wedding procession had arrived.

Meng Yifan was wearing a military uniform, but he was much more powerful than before. When he saw Mu Xiaoling, his eyes immediately lit up, but then he remembered that poor scholar in his dream had been seen by her. He immediately lost the courage to come over and meet her, wanting to hide in his shell like a turtle so that he wouldn't embarrass himself.

How could Mu Xiaoling not see Meng Yifan's embarrassment? She smiled and took the initiative to move forward, but was stopped by the soldier.

Meng Yifan's eyes suddenly lit up as he scolded, "What are you doing? Go away! That is my guest, Miss Mu."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately made way for him.

Mu Xiaoling slowly walked over and said with a smile, "Now that I have become a general, my prestige has increased."

"Of course not." Meng Yifan got off his horse and grinned, "I knew you would come here and not just watch me die. I'll arrange a position for you later. It's settled then."

Mu Xiaoling nodded, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a hand on her waist. She turned her head to see who it was that had not been Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu saw that Mu Xiaoling and Meng Yifan were so close and felt uncomfortable so he decided to come over. "I'll have to trouble Great General to arrange a position for me."

At this moment, Princess Qian Yang, who was sitting in the palanquin, finally noticed the strangeness in this place. With a glance, she saw Xiao Yu's beautiful face, which was originally pale, finally blushing a little as she lifted her head and ran out of the palanquin, disregarding the obstruction. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but now, they were filled with hope, "Brother Xiao, are you looking for me?

However, when her gaze landed on the hand of Xiao Yu that was embracing another woman, all her hope instantly turned into rage and completely buried her. "It's you again!"

Mu Xiaoling looked at Princess Qianyang in a strange manner, not bothering to respond to her. She slapped Xiao Yu's hand away, took the horse that the soldier had brought over, and mounted the horse.

Xiao Yu chuckled, but followed closely behind and mounted the other horse.

Princess Qian Yang felt like she was going crazy. She forced herself to calm down and returned to the carriage.

It didn't matter. She would still need a month to reach the imperial capital of the Xia Empire. She still had a chance.

The wedding procession was grand. Including the escorting soldiers, the palace maids and eunuchs serving the princess, there were five to six thousand of them. This process was extremely slow. They would only arrive at the inn after nightfall.

After Meng Yifan sent the princess back to her room to settle down, he ran to the door of Mu Xiaoling's room only to find that the door was open and Xiao Yu was sitting inside.

Mu Xiaoling was helpless as well. It was unknown what Xiao Yu was thinking about as his entire body was like an indestructible plaster as it tightly wrapped around her, even when he was in her room.

Even though they didn't pay much attention to reputation and integrity at this point in time, the atmosphere was still unpleasant.

Meng Yifan just happened to arrive. She let out a sigh of relief, then pointed to a chair and gestured for a person to sit down.

Meng Yifan poured himself a glass of water and looked relieved. He complained, "You don't know how difficult it is to serve that Princess Qian Yang. If it wasn't for the Meng family, I would have beat her up a long time ago."

Mu Xiaoling had always known that Meng Yifan was a childish person and his intuition made him sound funny. "What did she do to you?"

"What else can it be? But it's … I want to see big brother Xiao Yu, I want to see him, I want to speak to him." Meng Yifan pinched his throat and imitated Princess Qianyang's appearance by ten times, "I don't know the difficulties of the country. I don't know the reasons why the Emperor wanted her to come to the marriage alliance."

Xiao Yu took out a bunch of grapes from his spatial ring and placed them in front of Mu Xiaoling, then personally peeled one off, "It's also a type of protection, it's safer in China than in Yan Country."

Mu Xiaoling only felt that Xiao Yu's actions were exceptionally beautiful. His slender white fingers seemed to be made of jade when compared to the dark green grapes, but it was rare for him to be absent-minded for a moment. When the peeled grapes were placed next to his lips, his face immediately darkened, "Xiao Yu!"

"This grape tastes very good. Try it." Xiao Yu smiled gently as he used a bit of skill to stuff the grape into Mu Xiaoling's mouth.

Mu Xiaoling didn't know whether she should eat or not, but she felt a headache coming on. It seemed like she couldn't explain it to Xiao Yu any longer.

Meng Yifan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "The two of you are enough, but I'm still alone."

Mu Xiaoling fiercely turned her face away. She didn't like pure sweetness and the sour taste of the grapes in her mouth was her favorite taste. She didn't know when Xiao Yu had noticed her taste, but this meticulousness caused her calm and tranquil state of mind to fluctuate a little.
