In the afternoon, there wasn't much work to do in the neon city, so Su Qing let Mu Yunyao go home early to rest.

Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, she heard Jin Lan come over to report, "Miss, Supervisor Qin invites you to visit the embroidered garden."

The Snow Fox jumped onto Mu Yunyao's knees and used its head to lightly rub against her fingers. It let out a "wuu wuu" sound from its mouth, appearing to be extremely wronged.

Mu Yunyao lowered her head to caress the Snow Fox's head. A soft and warm feeling came from her fingertips. She pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand."

It was not impossible for the both of them to separate now, but it was too big of a burden for the neon city and not to be easily cut off. He had to take another look, if King Fu were to continue investigating, then even if it would hurt, he would need to make a decision with King Fu as soon as possible.

It had already been four days since they parted on bad terms. He carefully thought about it, at that time, he was indeed too impulsive, after being in contact with her for so long, he already knew that Mu Yunyao's heart was heavy, and with him forcing her to ask that question, it was clear that he had pushed her further away.

Not long after, Supervisor Qin walked into the study. "Your Highness, Lady Mu has come."

Yue Yang perked up and immediately sat upright: "Let Miss Mu in."

Mu Yunyao walked into the study with a gentle smile on her face. Her expression didn't change in the slightest, "Greetings, Fourth Master."

Originally, he thought that Mu Yunyao wouldn't come to see him, and even if she did, she would definitely be upset over what had happened. However, he didn't expect that not only had she come, her expression didn't even change in the slightest.

Yue Yang's heart sank a little. He had been worried for so long, but she had not taken it to heart.

"No need to be so courteous, I invited you over because I have something that I need to discuss with you." If there is anything that Master Four wants, just say it. If there is anything that I can do, I will do my best. " Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked straight at King Yue, repeatedly chanting in her heart that this life was the real source. Her mind actually calmed down a bit, and the fear and suspicion she had towards King Yu actually dissipated bit by bit …

If he continued down this path, he would finally be able to face him with his normal mind.

At the very least, he didn't have to feel a chill every time he met him.

King Yue acutely sensed that something was wrong with Mu Yunyao's mood, but when he tried to carefully distinguish the difference, he could not. "You asked me before if I had any thoughts on the salt that Li Yuan is currently transporting. I want to hear what you have in mind. "

Afraid that her words would cause Mu Yunyao to recall her displeasure from before, Duke Yue Yang looked carefully at Mu Yunyao's expression and his tone unconsciously became a little calmer.

Mu Yunyao didn't have the slightest trace of abnormality in her expression, but her smile still remained on her face. "I also wanted to talk to Master Si again, but since you just so happened to ask, can you please listen for a bit and see if it's feasible?"

He was still disappointed. After hearing what was said, he nodded his head slightly: "Tell me about it." Because salt was special, it was run by the government. However, the system that was put in place was not perfect, and therefore, private salt was rampant. Now that the salt policy had been checked, coupled with the rumours that the salt had sunk on the river, the price of salt had increased by quite a bit.

It is not easy for the people to live, and the high price of salt is bound to add to their burden. "

"Indeed."

"Then is Your Highness willing to seek some benefits for the people?"

The Winged King squinted his eyes slightly as he quickly thought in his heart: "You want me to send someone to cut off that batch of salt?" Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, "We have already earned enough silver from those salt merchants, but we have already formed a grudge with them. Currently, the salt merchants and Li Yuan are busy protecting themselves, so they naturally can't do anything to deal with us.

"It is best to do one thing, one thing, and two things at the same time, in order to get rid of any future troubles."

"You want to eliminate Li Yuan and those salt merchants?" Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and looked at King Yue, "Don't tell me that Fourth Master doesn't want to interfere in Jiang Nan's Yan Zheng? If that batch of salt merchants didn't fall, then there wouldn't be any new salt merchants rising. Especially the Wu, Wei and Cao Families. They had been suppressing Jiangnan for a long time already, and their temper was already long gone.

"Caution and restraint. If a new batch of people were to go up, it would also be able to quiet down Yan Zheng in Jiangnan for a period of time."

Yue Yang pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually became deeper: "Alright." Although this incident was dangerous, there were countless opportunities in it. Once he succeeded, his manpower would change tremendously.

Mu Yunyao smiled. "Then Fourth Master has to hurry and prepare. After a while, the salt ship will pass through the West River, pass through Tomb City, and then head north of Riverside City. These three places have opportunities to fight.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Yue Yang subconsciously asked Mu Yunyao. It's just that when I followed my mother to Ziling City, I heard from the old boatman that there was a period of extreme fog in Riverside City during the summer. It's very strange here, so I might as well ask the old boatmen about it.

"They have the ability to predict the weather, and if they can make it in time for a foggy day, that would be Heaven's help."

King Yue looked deeply at Mu Yunyao, then nodded and said, "Alright, I will immediately send people to investigate."

After they finished discussing business, the study room instantly quietened down. Mu Yunyao waited for a moment, but didn't hear any other instructions from King Yue, so she got up and said her goodbyes, "I won't disturb Fourth Master any longer …" "Wait a minute," The King of Assassins stood up and took out an exquisite wooden box from the side. The box was made of sandalwood and was inlaid with precious stones, so it was obviously worth a lot of money, "It was all thanks to you giving me advice that I was able to earn so much money.

I hope you can accept it. "

Mu Yunyao's fingertips trembled as she raised her hand to receive the box. She opened it and took a look, then her heart suddenly moved. All of the jewelry in the box was extremely precious and beautiful.

"Master Four, these jewels are too precious …"

"Take them. In fact, they have been with me for a long time. I can't bear to part with them, so I left them empty. It's just nice for you to give them as a gift …" These pieces of jewelry were left behind by his mother and had been with him for a long time. Now that he finally found someone he wanted to gift to, it could be considered a blessing.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before bowing to King Yue. "Since that's the case, then I'll thank Master for the reward. If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave first."

"Alright."

After Mu Yunyao left, Supervisor Qin hurriedly walked into the study: "Prince, did Miss Mu take the jewelry?"

King Yue nodded, but there was a wrinkle between his brows.

"Then why do you look so unhappy?"

"Nothing." Just now, Mu Yunyao didn't show any abnormal expressions, she even brought the gift he gave her when he left. However, he was acutely aware that something had changed, but he still couldn't tell if this change was good or bad.

"This little footwork can't achieve the goal of a thousand miles. The road is long, the path is long and the water drips through …" Yue Yang couldn't help but laugh softly: "Uncle Qin, I understand."
