Chapter 273 - Undercover (2)
"You still want to wait for him? I'm telling you, he died a long time ago! Until now, how can This King let him live! To tell you the truth, you can't wait for him even if you wanted to! "
Queen Heran had heard of the agreement between Ruo Ruo Ying and Mu Wanjun. She also knew that it was safe for Zuo Ying to go down first, so she pretended to be shocked, but her heart remained calm.
Hu Lunzuomeng was very satisfied with her reaction and the shock and disappointment on his face. However, Mu Yanran was suspicious. She did not let go of any of Hera's expression with his peach blossom eyes.
Her face was indeed shocked, but her hand holding the wine cup was extremely stable. Not only did the wine not spill a single drop, her eyes were completely calm. It was as if she knew from the beginning, or as if she was certain that Renzo Hawk wasn't dead.
This is a bit unusual.
Mu Yanran was puzzled, and slowly turned her gaze towards the palace maid behind Queen Hera. This palace maid had listened to the secret message for such a long time. Her expression was indifferent, without the slightest bit of emotion. This was rather strange. That kind of bearing was definitely not something an ordinary palace maid could possess.
How strange!
She had always been paranoid and suspicious for her entire life, so she had to probe.
Sure enough, as Mu Yanran continued to persuade Queen Hera, she slowly walked towards her.
Although it looked to be unintentional, Mu Wanjun did not relax for even a moment.
She understood Mu Yanran too well.
One step, two steps, three steps …
Suddenly, Mu Yanran made her move, a dagger in her hand flashed like a cold ray of water, aimed straight at the bottom of the Heran Queen's heart, her move was too fast, Queen Heran would not have enough time to react if she did not use any martial arts.
Mu Wanjun saw it clearly.
However, if she was not careful, Mu Yanran would be able to see through her weakness. Furthermore, it did not make sense that she suddenly attacked the Heran Queen.
And Mu Yanran's actions were even more unreasonable. The only possibility was that she was testing him.
In just a blink of an eye, Mu Wanjun had already thought of every single question in her mind. Just as Mu Yanran's dagger was less than a centimeter away from Heran's chest, Mu Wanjun already had a plan.
She watched helplessly as the dagger grazed Queen Heran's clothes and the sharp blade cut through them. She did not react in the slightest.
Mu Yanran understood that the moment the dagger in her hand touched Queen Heran's skin, she had retracted her dagger. There was doubt in her eyes, but she swept across Mu Wanjun's and Heran's face.
If there really was a problem with the That person, she wouldn't have watched as Queen Heran got injured.
But when she had used that stab just now, it had been incomparably sharp. She had relied on her own formidable cultivation to cut through Queen Hera's clothes without harming her. That stab was extremely dangerous. If there was even the slightest mistake, Queen Heran would have surely splashed her blood on the spot!
But That person behind her did not react at all.
It seemed that he had been too suspicious.
"What did you just do?" Only now did he realize that Hu Lunzuomeng's face had already turned white. If something really were to happen to Queen Hera, then where would he go to find Military Symbol s to command the Thirteen Clans?
Right now, he was only worried about Military Symbol, but he had completely forgotten about how this frail Female he had saved, named Chi'er, could have such a good martial skill.
Queen Heran only felt a chill in her chest as she looked down. There was a hole that wasn't very long in her clothes, but the cold wind was only able to blow in that direction. Her face paled as well. Just now, she had been in a reincarnation cycle on the line of death. She forced herself to remain calm and her bearing did not change. However, her legs couldn't help but go soft.
Mu Yanran smiled lightly, "Nothing much, I just wanted to test the courage of Queen Hera. As expected of the mother of the Northern Kingdom." She said it casually.
He was playing with the dagger in his hand. "I was just playing around, but I'm serious, if Queen Heran really doesn't plan to hand the Military Symbol over, then there's nothing much to talk about." Do you really think that there's nothing we can do if we were to command thirteen Tribes s and no Military Symbol s? "
Her expression changed, and there was no longer any trace of happiness in her eyes. But it was a sinister, soul-devouring aura.
"Thirteen Tribes s, but they only have thirteen Clan Chiefs. With my skills, sneaking in would not be a difficult thing. Without the Military Symbol, I can just change to thirteen clan leaders. "
What she said was the truth. Without Military Symbol, it was fine if the elder was one of them. If it was anyone else, sneaking into the Tribes to assassinate the Patriarch would be extremely difficult, but with Mu Yanran's skill, although he might not be 100% successful, he had a very high chance of winning.
Hearing that, Hu Lunzuomeng laughed, this idea was not bad. The gaze he used to look at Mu Yanran was also rather appreciative. He didn't expect himself to casually pick it up from the snow, and actually pick up a treasure.
Queen Heran's eyes were filled with shock!
If that was really the case, then what was the use of the Military Symbol in her hands?
Her face suddenly changed, her hand hitting the side of the table, she suddenly stood up and pointed at Mu Yanran, this time she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Forget about the Military Symbol, even amongst the thirteen clan leaders of Tribes, one of them was her own father.
Mu Yanran was blatantly threatening them!
"How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Do you think I can't do it?" Mu Yanran's long and narrow eyes swept towards Queen Heran. She suddenly raised her hand, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Queen Heran.
Her speed was extremely fast, causing Queen Heran to only feel a gust of wind blowing by. When she focused her gaze, she saw that Mu Yanran was still standing there, as if he had not moved an inch.
Queen Heran reached out her hand to touch her ear, and the earring on her right ear landed in Mu Yanran's hand.
"What she said just now really wasn't just a threat." I have the ability, why don't you try it? Or perhaps Queen Heran could consider giving us the Military Symbol, and save us a lot of trouble. "
Queen Heran could not speak, and for a moment the atmosphere became more serious.
At this moment, the outside world suddenly became bustling with noise and excitement.
"What happened?" Hu Lunzuomeng frowned, he then pushed open the door and looked outside.
The moment the door was pushed open, Angele saw thick smoke coming towards him.
Someone ran over in a flurry. "Seventh Prince, this is bad. The Grand Palace is on fire." The fire is burning fiercely this way, so your highness has to quickly avoid it. ""
"What?" Hu Lunzuomeng was shocked, he grabbed the servant's lapel: "How could there be a fire?"
