"Mercy? Did you think about sparing the body of the vanguard leader when you finished his body? " Yingyu bitterly said as a dagger appeared in her hand. Everyone sighed, including the old Prime Minister Zhu Xu. They all closed their eyes. Such a tragedy truly did not stand in their way!

"Ah …" Without waiting for Yingxiu to make a move, Wu Bingcheng had already been scared out of his wits and had fainted. The crowd could not help but laugh out loud hatefully as they saw this scene.

"As expected of the avant-garde. Mu Yan is impressed!" A clear and melodious voice rang out. As everyone turned to look, Duan Mu Yan was already standing in front of them. The moment they saw Duan Moyan, everyone's reactions changed. Zhu Xu nodded slightly, while Dou Jing also smiled. As for Qi Hu, Xu Tianshu, Liu Li, and Ying Jiao, all four of them knelt on one knee before her.

"This subordinate thanks Pavilion Master for saving my life!" Originally, before Zhu Xu's arrival, they had repeatedly speculated who the person who saved them was until the time when Zhu Xu revealed the truth. Perhaps, at that time, they were either shocked, or could not believe it, or they thought that their old master was unwilling to rebel, or they remained silent. However, at this moment, their hearts faced Duan Mu Yan, and had no intention of turning back.

"Everyone, quickly get up. How could Mu Yan possibly have the ability to allow everyone to perform such a great salute?" Duan Mu Yan originally thought that if he revealed his true appearance now, he would be able to hear many different voices. But what surprised her was that the words and actions of these people already explained everything. It had to be admitted that Zhu Xu's argument was truly difficult to contend with in this world. The most correct step that she had taken back then was to plot against Zhu Xu.

"Pavilion Master speaks too seriously. Our lives were bestowed upon us by the Pavilion Master. Moreover, we are already people who have died once. Right now, we only have Pavilion Master in our eyes! If Pavilion Master has anything, we will definitely go through fire and water and not refuse it. " His sonorous voice carried the domineering aura of a female as he admired Duan Mu Yan from the bottom of his heart. Being able to scheme and save Dou Jing and Qi Hu was already enough to prove Duan Mu Yan's strength. He was willing to follow such a master. Although the rest of the people were not as impassioned as Yingxiu, they still tacitly acknowledged their own attitudes.

"It is fortunate that Mu Yan received everyone's help. Many thanks!" Without saying a word, Duan Mu Yan clasped her hands together in gratitude. At this moment, Zhu Xu who was standing behind them walked forward slowly.

"Is there an urgent matter for the pavilion master to suddenly visit?" A pavilion master spoke of Zhu Xu's true intentions. No matter what, with Zhu Xu's approval, Duan Moyan had already succeeded in half. Before Duan Mu Yan could say anything, Dou Jing had already left the main hall with Xu Tianshu and the rest, dragging Wu Bingcheng along with him. Xiao Jin Feng naturally left with Dou Jing and the rest, since the location of the guest garden was extremely hidden, and with so many experts gathered, no one would be able to eavesdrop.

"Mu Yan thanks the old prime minister. If it wasn't for the old prime minister's bitter words, we might not have been able to get around this." Duan Mu Yan was well aware that Zhu Xu's contributions to the battle had been due to the combined efforts of the crowd.

If not for the pavilion master's wise words, how could this old man possibly have seen through the world? The pavilion master was right, the Badlands was the emperor's, but he was also from the common people, this old man is indeed a human being, but I am also responsible for these people. Right now, the emperor is favouring the crown prince to the point of being inconceivable. Tears appeared in Zhu Xu's eyes. Duan Mu Yan knew the relationship between Zhu Xu and his father, but in the face of morality, Zhu Xu's choice was the right one.

Not hiding anything from the old prime minister, Duan Xingyi's Demon Claw has already been extended to those who are unfamiliar with him, the day before, King Wei was nearly beheaded by royal father for the private forging of weapons, although he is now in danger, he is still inside the Sky Prison, Mu Yan knows King Wei's character very well, but if I recklessly rescued him, I am afraid that Duan Xingyi will find out Mu Yan's identity through rattan. If I do not save him, I am afraid King Wei will die in prison, so I came to ask the old prime minister for guidance. Duan Mu Yan solemnly stated.

"Why would the crown prince deal with King Wei? Is this unreasonable? Even if he wants to eradicate the 'hidden' party, isn't it a little too early to kill King Wei now? " Zhu Xu said this in disbelief. He was very puzzled. With his understanding of the crown prince, this person was definitely not someone so shallow. There must be a conspiracy behind this.

"Mu Yan also felt that Duan Xingyi's actions were abnormal, so she requested the old prime minister to give her some advice!" Duan Mu Yan pleaded.

If we kill him, it will definitely cause panic, so for the time being, there is no need for the pavilion master to worry about him. Even if Duan Xingyi has the intention to kill King Wei, he would not dare to go against the emperor's wishes. Furthermore, King Wei is the best leader in the army, and as long as we act in the name of saving King Wei and adding to Duan Xingyi's despicable deeds, we will definitely not be able to receive a few! Zhu Xu calmly analyzed.

"If that is the case, what should we do with Mu Yan?" Zhu Xu's analysis was reasonable, but Duan Xingyi had never played his cards according to the rules. No one could guarantee that he would not be controlled by the Emperor.

"Save him!" If that time really comes, the Emperor is truly sorry. For the sake of the Great Mo River Mountain, allow this old official to be disloyal for once.

"The Old Prime Minister's intention and Mu Yan's intention coincide. Mu Yan thanks the Prime Minister for his advice!" With Zhu Xu's encouragement, Duan Mu Yan calmed her heart down.

It just so happens that the Pavilion Master is here personally, this old man has something to report to the Pavilion Master, and according to the secret reports of the previous generals in the army, the army is currently in a state of panic. This matter has given this old man a headache for a long time. I originally thought that the crown prince wanted to eliminate us to consolidate his position, but his actions now are basically pushing the Badlands to the end. Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed as he spoke, his heart filled with worry.

After hearing Zhu Xu's words, Duan Mu Yan also felt that something was amiss. It was just that he still had no reasonable reason to explain the series of actions Duan Xingyi did to dig out the grave.

"Old Prime Minister, in your opinion, what should we do now?" Suddenly, Duan Mu Yan felt as though an arrow was about to be shot from the bow.

"Financial resources!" Amongst the ten million soldiers of the Great Mo Empire, there are eight or nine out of ten of them that were under the control of the generals just now. Adding to the fact that Duan Xingyi is so reckless, he has already lost his morale of the troops, so what we lack now is only financial resources. If you are able to win the hearts of the people with your great wealth, then at that time, you might not have to fight alone. Zhu Xu calmly analyzed.

"The Prime Minister means that... For Mu Yan to aim for the treasury? " The treasury was not comparable to the Sky Prison, she still had the ability to save people in the Sky Prison. However, she did not have the confidence to rob the treasury.

"This old man also knows that making things difficult for the Pavilion Master like this, financial and material resources are essential to our cause. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the capital to rush up the throne room and confront the Emperor!" Up till now, the only thing he could do was to assist Duan Mu Yan. There was no other way.

"Since that's the case, Mu Yan will think of a way!" Duan Mu Yan nodded her head fiercely.

On the way back from Pingyang, Duan Mu Yan remained silent, letting the carriage jolt about, but in her heart, she was thinking of how she could take out the silver from the treasury.

"Pavilion Master, are you still worried about the words of the old Prime Minister?" The sun gradually set, and the new moon rose to the east. It was still the same forest, but Xiao Jin Feng stopped the carriage and helped Duan Mu Yan off the carriage after they had set a bonfire.

"I really can't think of any good way to change the location of the treasury from dragon to phoenix. The treasury isn't like the Sky Prison, where the defenses are invulnerable. No matter how good one's martial arts are, it would be difficult to sneak in. Even if they did, how could they sneak out that much silver …" This was simply the Celestial Lake Pool of Wonders.

"Pavilion Master need not be so upset. When we return, we can discuss it with Wu Hen and the others in detail. Actually, if they want to obtain the treasury's silver taels, they might not necessarily want our people to go in …" In the end, he was still a battle-hardened and experienced prince, so his thoughts and schemes were naturally no less than Duan Moyan's.

"Alright, no regrets. Are your injuries alright?" Duan Moyan heaved a long sigh of relief. If she were to continue thinking about it, she was afraid that she would end up in a dead end, so she decided to relax for the time being. Noticing that Duan Mu Yan had changed the topic, Xiao Jin Feng smiled faintly.

"There's no longer any problem."

"Right, where are you from? Don't tell me he is a wanderer who roamed the world like Wu Hen? " Ever since the man in front of her had joined the Pear Blossom Pavilion, she had never cared about him. At this moment, if he were to chat casually, perhaps it would allow her to understand his heart even more.

"Ranger... "I guess so …" A trace of bitterness flashed across Xiao Jin Feng's lips. Rather than calling him a travelling adventurer, it would be more appropriate to call him a wandering ghost.

"No worries, travelling on the world …" The image of Xiao Yuxuan's jade flute playing along with the wind in his hands suddenly flashed through Duan Moyan's mind. It was as if he had walked out of a painting with such an immortal direct descendant. Perhaps she had missed his last chance and would never be able to reunite with Xiao Yuxuan in this life.

"Rangers might not be without concerns. I don't regret loving two women in my life, but I've also fallen in love with two women. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have been willing to never meet them in my life. That way there wouldn't be any harm …" Xiao Jin Feng's words caused Duan Mu Yan to tremble slightly. She didn't expect that there would be such a desolate story behind this mask.

"Maybe they won't regret it, just like you?" "Speak." Duan Mu Yan said indifferently. At the bottom of her heart, for some inexplicable reason, the figure of Xiao Lingfeng appeared. That grave and frosty face revealed a hint of a smile that Duan Mu Yan knew, if it wasn't for his deep feelings, he wouldn't ….

If I had only been willing to persevere, or if I hadn't been able to persevere, perhaps I wouldn't have ended up like this. Now, I am muddleheaded, and am only trying to seek a sliver of relief. To me, life and death aren't really that important. Through the firelight, Duan Mu Yan could clearly see the glimmer in Xiao Jin Feng's eyes. A man's tears wouldn't fall easily, and it was only because he wasn't really hurt that Duan Mu Yan suddenly felt his heart ache.
