Hearing Mu Xuanyin's words, Shangguan Yi didn't ask any further.

After all, Mu Xuanyin was the son of the king. It was normal for her to have a few secret guards.

In addition, it was quite normal for the hidden guards not to show their faces.

"First prince, even though you are the first prince of the Southern Kingdom, you are going to the enemy camp as Huan Yue's messenger. For your safety, I have picked a few men with great skills from the army to follow you."

Although Mu Xuanli held some animosity towards Shangguan Yi, she still knew her place.

If something were to happen to the Southern Kingdom's Prince at the border between the two countries, then the Southern Kingdom would surely blame the Huan Yue Country and the Heavenly Light Nation.

Therefore, for the sake of Mu Xuanyin's safety, he still felt that he should choose a few capable people to protect her.

"There's no need. If too many people go, it will arouse the suspicions of the State of Heaven. Your Highness and … As long as my two guards go, there's no need for others to follow. "

As he said this, Mu Xuanli glanced at Hua Mu Jin, who was disguised as a man, and shook his head.

Then, he walked to the horse the soldiers had prepared and jumped onto it.

The flower hibiscus followed and mounted another horse.

"Alright, the first prince should hurry back."

Mu Xuanyin and Hua Mu Jin rode their horses. In less than an hour, they arrived in front of the enemy kingdom's army camp.

"Who are you, state your name!"

The two of them stopped outside the Tian Guang Country's army camp. The vigilant soldiers looked at them and asked their identity loudly.

"The Southern Kingdom's first prince, Mu Xuanyin."

Hearing Mu Xuanyin's reply, the soldier on guard turned around and said something to the soldier beside him.

Then the soldier ran away and came back after a while and said loudly, "General invites His Royal Highness to come in, but before we go in, I would like to ask His Royal Highness to let me search him."

Search his body?

At the side of the horse, Hua Mu Jin swallowed her saliva.

Although she had disguised herself as a man, her body was that of a woman. If she was found by the soldiers, it would be troublesome.

"What kind of status does Your Highness have? How can it be your turn to search me? As for the First Prince, let him come out, This Highness wants to see him! "

Mu Xuanyin had also considered Hua Mu Jin so she had no intention of letting the soldiers search her body.

"The body search is a general's order. I hope that First Prince will not make things difficult for this lowly person."

Hearing this, Mu Xuanli sneered.

"I thought that the Tianzhao Kingdom was amazing. I only came here with two guards and they were already so scared. It seems like even if we don't fight, we still know the result."

When the soldiers heard Mu Xuanyin's sarcasm, they were greatly displeased.

However, the soldiers had to be wary of his identity and didn't dare to be disrespectful to him.

"I wonder why the prince of the Southern Kingdom has come to our army camp?"

Suddenly, a sonorous and powerful voice entered Hua Mujiao's ears. She looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a man in silver armor standing mightily in front of them.

"This prince is honored to be able to receive you personally. However, it can't be that the First Prince just wants to chat with This Highness outside the military camp, right? "

This armored man in front of him was the first prince of the State of Heaven, Nangong Yao.

"First prince, please …"

Seeing this, Mu Xuanyin glanced at Hua Mu Jin before nodding to her. The two of them dismounted from their horses at the same time and followed Nangong Yao into the army camp.

Arriving at the main tent of the State of Tianzhao, Mu Xuanli sat on a chair, and Hua Mujiao stood behind him with the demeanor of a guard.

"I wonder why the first prince is here?"

Mu Xuanyin took a sip of tea from a nearby soldier calmly, then said, "To be honest, the First Prince said that this time, this prince's identity is a messenger from Huan Yue Country. I've come to negotiate with the First Prince."

Nangong Yao seemed to have guessed it. After Mu Xuanli said this, he did not feel surprised at all.

"The two kingdoms have already started fighting, do you think there's still a need to negotiate with the first prince?"

Hua Mujiao looked at Nangong Yao, sizing him up from head to toe.

Although this man's appearance was not that outstanding, he had a domineering aura to him, as if he was someone who often stayed in the military camp.

"First Prince, you can't put it like that. In a battle between two armies, even if there are innumerable casualties, there is still a need to negotiate. Furthermore, after so long, the First Prince has been quietly observing the situation and not making a move.

Nangong Yao's face was cold.

Even if Mu Xuanyin's words had stabbed into his heart, his face would not have been affected in the slightest.

"The First Prince, as a citizen of the Southern Kingdom, why does he have to wade in this muddy water and dirty his own body? Isn't it good to sit back and watch? "

Actually, Nangong Yao already wanted to attack.

However, after knowing that the Huan Yue Country had the support of the Southern Kingdom, they didn't dare to act rashly.

He was afraid that after his one strike, the Southern Kingdom would also be at war at the border. At that time, if both sides were attacked, the State of Heaven's Illustrious would be bound to lose without a doubt.

"While it is good to sit back and watch the battle, one must still be careful. He has been injured by a fierce tiger."

The two of them chatted for a while, and Hua Mujiao was finally able to understand what they were talking about.

However, she did not dislike the First Prince of Heaven's Illuminations. Compared to that good-for-nothing Crown Prince, the First Prince was more suitable to be crowned as the King.

Suddenly, Nangong Yao asked, "I heard that the Huan Yue Country has tied up our crown prince. Is that true?"

Mu Xuanli smiled and nodded, "It is indeed true. Right now, His Highness the crown prince of the State of Heaven is still being watched and escorted in the military camp. What, the First Prince wants to get Huan Yue to release the crown prince? "

Hua Mujiao cast a glance at Mu Xuanyin and saw that from start to finish, he had a smile plastered on his face.

She suddenly wanted to give him a nickname — 'Smiling Tiger'. This nickname was extremely suitable for Mu Xuanyin.

"It is naturally good that Huan Yue could release our Crown Prince, but that cannot be used as a condition for the negotiations. First prince, you should understand what this prince means."

"Of course."

Mu Xuanli took another sip of tea before continuing, "To be honest, amongst all the princes of the State of Tianzhao, Your Highness thinks that the First Prince is the most suitable person to be the crown prince. To put it bluntly, the current crown prince of the State of Tianzhao is no different from trash.

Mu Xuanyin had bluntly said that the Crown Prince of Heaven's Reflection was a trash. After hearing his words, Hua Mu Jin secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

One had to know that this was in someone else's military camp. To directly say that a human country's crown prince was a piece of trash, wasn't that equivalent to courting death?

"The eldest prince praises us. Father naturally has considerations as to who he wants as the crown prince. As long as I can protect the citizens, I will be satisfied. I am not very interested in the battle for the position of crown prince."

Although Nangong Yao said it like that, Hua Mu Jin could hear the unwillingness in his words.

This man was patiently enduring.

"First Prince, right now, there are only you and Your Highness, as well as the guards that we trust the most. Why do you need to hide yourself?"

Hua Mu Jin had seen through it, and Mu Xuanyin had also seen Nangong Yao's patience.

Furthermore, Mu Xuanyin had seen more of Nangong Yao's gifts than Hua Mujiao. It was because Nangong Yao was showing signs of patience and ambition.

After a long time, Nangong Yao did not say another word.

Mu Xuanli met his gaze and both of them stared at each other as if they were blades and swords, both of them probing their own thoughts.

"Haha …"

Suddenly, Nangong Yao started to laugh loudly.

"I heard that not only is the First Prince of Nan Gong well-versed in both martial arts and literature, but he is also skilled in strange techniques. His business skills are also exceptional. It is truly a pity that the First Prince did not become the Crown Prince of Nan Gong." If I were the king of the Southern Kingdom, I would definitely make you the crown prince and expand the territory of the Southern Kingdom. "

Hearing this, the corners of Mu Xuanli's mouth curled up into an unreadable smile.

"Same here. What the First Prince said was exactly what this Prince wanted to say to you."

"I'm sure that if we were to join hands, this world would definitely be ours."

Nangong Yao finally revealed his ambition.

It was not that he was not interested in the throne, but because he was not appreciated by the king of the Heavenly Light Empire. Therefore, he had always been patient and patient.

"The world? This prince is not interested. If the First Prince wants to, he can join hands with the Emperor of the Huan Yue Country.

Back then, the Sovereign King of the Southern Kingdom had already established Mu Xuanyin as his Crown Prince. However, because of Mu Xuanyi's feelings towards his own sister, he had voluntarily relinquished his position as Crown Prince and chose to do business.

He had never had any interest in the world.

"What a pity, what a pity. Although Your Highness might be able to get along with the Huan Yue Emperor, we are enemies and will never join hands. "

Mu Xuanli could be considered as someone who had a good impression of Nangong Yao, which was why Nangong Yao felt that it was such a pity.

It was a pity that Mu Xuanli could not join hands with him, but a pity that he could not become the Emperor of Nan Gong.

"That may not be so. Has the First Prince ever thought about who the king of the State of Heaven's Glory would call the crown prince if the crown prince of the State of Heaven were to die? Furthermore, the First Prince has more than half of the military power in the Kingdom of Tianzhao. If he were to call for war, it should be a piece of cake for him. "

Hua Mu Jin understood the meaning behind Mu Xuanyin's words, he was trying to persuade Nangong Yao to go up and fight for the throne.

"First Prince, This Highness knows what you're thinking about. In any case, there's no one else here. If the First Prince is willing to join hands with the Moon Emperor, then the future king of the State of Heaven's Radiance would definitely be you, First Prince. "

"Right now, the king of the Skyrise Kingdom is not in the public opinion. You should be clear about this, First Prince. This prince knows that you hold the majority of the military power in the Heavenly Light Empire. If you do not explain yourself in this battle, you will definitely be scolded by the Heavenly Light Empire's Emperor.

"Then, if Your Highness says that the Huan Yue emperor will cooperate with you and let the two armies have a peaceful time, would you, First Prince, consider joining hands with the Huan Yue emperor?"

Mu Xuanli spoke a lot in one go, but the meaning behind his words were as clear as day.
