Chapter 231 - Inviting the Frontier (2)
And what he did was only for her identity!
"Good!" Let us see what you can do. "Tell me, how would you like to reward me on the day that I succeed?"
No one thought that His Majesty would agree so quickly, and even before deciding on anything, they had already begun to discuss about the rewards. Could it be that Jin Yulie was acting behind the scenes?
Mu Wanjun kneeled down to receive the decree: "This humble daughter does not have any requests, she only hopes that this old father has always been willing to help the nation."
"I understand." Chunyu Hong made Mu Wanjun get up, "Have you already made all the necessary arrangements?"
"This humble girl has also heard about the situation at the border of the Northern Kingdom. She knows that there are monsters lurking around the border of the Northern Kingdom, so she decided to investigate. If there is a misunderstanding, the king of the Northern Kingdom will not pursue it."
Her words were very light, making others look down on her.
However, only Chunyu Hong didn't think so.
"Good!" I order you to do as you please. The State Duke of Jin led a hundred thousand troops as reinforcements. We will also personally come to Mount Kunlun and humbly request Headmaster Kunlun to lend a helping hand. "
The matter was settled.
That night, a touch of purple colored shadow silently snuck into the Imperial Palace.
There was not a single person within a mile of the imperial study's surroundings. All of them were sent retreating, and even Chunyu Hong's trusted guards, the Eunuch Hao s, were guarding the perimeter.
Chunyu Hong sat in front of the table to review the memorial.
Candle suddenly flickered. When he raised his head, he saw a person wearing a large purple robe sitting not far away from him.
He had snow-white hair and a silver mask.
"You're looking for me?" Yao Ming casually sat with a cup of tea that he had already prepared on the side.
The tea temperature just happened to be at the entrance.
Chunyu Hong had prepared this for him a long time ago.
"Just in time."
"What is it?"
"You should have heard about the Northern Kingdom."
"That's right. None of your vanguard troops came back. " Yao Ming opened his mouth leisurely and took a sip of tea. Imperial Palace's things were not bad, the tea and water were especially fragrant. However, there was an extra feeling of the secular world.
"Do you know what's going on?" Chunyu Hong did not mind Yao Ming poking his sore spot the moment he opened his mouth.
"I don't know, I've never been there." "You want me to take a look for you?"
"This matter is not that simple. I heard that someone saw a huge shadow in the blizzard, and the corpse that my people came back with had deep teeth marks on it."
"I don't know about that."
"Your zooid also seems to be very powerful."
Yao Ming placed the tea on the table, "Alright, I will lend you Qi. If there's nothing else, I'll be going. "
The candle flame dimmed again, and when Chunyu Hong raised his eyes again, Yao Ming had already left, only leaving him with half a cup of tea.
Jin Yulie was at the study room drawing strange lines on a painting in his hands.
When Mu Wanjun prepared some pastries for him, she accidentally swept her eyes over the painting.
"What is it?"
Jin Yulie pushed the painting to Mu Wanjun, "Take a look yourself."
Mu Wanjun took the painting and examined it thoroughly, but she could not find anything wrong with it. She simply shook her head.
"This is brought back by the An Shuang, the best shadow guard I sent out. Even now, she is still unconscious, and this is what she drew before she fainted."
Among the Shadow Guards that he had sent out, only the An Shuang could return alive after personally witnessing the real scene. However, he had not woken up since then.
"Does she have a wound?"
"No, but she was poisoned." Even the Five Poisons Young Master had not been able to dispel the poison.
"I'll go take a look."
Jin Yulie brought Mu Wanjun through a secret passage in the study and into a private room. This secret room was the only underground space in State Duke of Jin's Mansion, it looked extremely similar to a basement.
And the place where the An Shuang was located was one of the stone rooms.
She was still unconscious, and was taken care of by two dark guard s.
"Where did you find her?" When Mu Wanjun looked carefully, she realized that there were really no injuries on An Shuang's body.
"Subordinate received the signal from the An Shuang to find her in a wasteland ten miles away from the border. When I found her, she was holding the painting in her hands and she had fainted long ago. When this subordinate brought her back, she had not woken up at all."
Mu Wanjun was also rather suspicious. She had carefully examined it before. The An Shuang had indeed been poisoned, but this poison was something even the Five Poisons Young Master could not help with.
Suddenly, Mu Wanjun felt that the An Shuang looked like a vegetable.
Her hand caressed An Shuang's head. She touched it very carefully, not sparing a single one of it.
Seeing her in that state, the Five Poison Child wanted to stop her, because what if there was anything that implicated Mu Wanjun, she would be the red-haired girl in front of Jin Yulie right now.
If something were to happen to her, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Jin Yulie also felt that it was inappropriate, "What are you looking for?"
"I suspect she was injured in the head." As Mu Wanjun said that, she suddenly took out a thin blade from the Storage Ring. She held the blade, and with her extremely fast speed, she accurately cut off all of An Shuang's hair.
When the three thousand strands of hair landed on the ground, everyone saw that An Shuang's scalp, which was located right in the middle, truly had a wound.
So this was where the wound was located.
There were two small wounds, not like knives or daggers or hidden weapons.
It looked more like something had bitten it.
"What kind of wound is this?" Mu Wanjun asked the Five Poisons Child. He had been dealing with poisons all year long, so she knew more about this.
After a careful examination, the Poison Child replied, "It seems to be the teeth of a snake. However, it has become much larger in comparison to an ordinary snake." Your subordinate has never seen such a wound. "
Jin Yulie frowned. He took out the painting, and with Mu Wanjun's reminder, he looked at the curvy and curvy arc in the painting, and it really looked somewhat similar to a snake.
If that was really the case, then he felt that this northern trip, he was in too great a danger. He really didn't want Mu Wanjun to go there anymore.
