Chapter 226 - The Emperor finds the Little Thing, Long time no see
Thinking about that, he increased his pace, and just as he reached the entrance, Feng Wuyou was startled, she quickly turned and used her fan to block him, preventing the people inside from seeing her face, and in her heart, she wished that she had never been here before.
Because at Feng Wuyou's current position, she could clearly see the people seated in the great hall. Other than the middle-aged man in his forties who was sitting on the main seat, there were also quite a few others.
Besides, they were all acquaintances!
The first person Feng Wuyou saw was Huyan Ruijin dressed in blue robes. After one month of not seeing him, he still looked warm and gentle, just that he was a bit thinner. The reason she drew Feng Wuyou's attention the most was because a man dressed in white was sitting beside him.
His silky black hair scattered behind his back, and his exquisite and perfect chin was slightly raised. The upper half of his face, however, was covered by a silver mask, making it hard for others to see what he actually looked like.
Behind the mask was a pair of faint, bright eyes, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Cold!
It was Feng Wuyou's first impression of him.
Previously, Feng Wuyou felt that Baili Mingyue was like a goddess, pure of dust, she was already the most aloof person in the world. But now, the person in front of her was definitely not inferior to Baili Mingyue.
As for the one who was sitting on the wheelchair and was talking to the middle-aged man in the main seat, wasn't that Murong Shaoxuan, the person whom he knocked on a brick earlier, Murong Shaoxuan?
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that he had a faint smile on his face as he chatted happily with the middle-aged man. No matter how he looked at it, the two of them seemed to have a deep friendship!
Strictly speaking, Huyan Ruijin did not have any hatred towards him, so he did not feel awkward looking at him. But she had stolen Murong Shaoxuan's piece of jade, and had also smacked his brick. Only half a day ago, no matter how bad Murong Shaoxuan's memory was, she should have still remembered it, right?
Feng Wuyou swallowed her saliva with difficulty, just as he was considering whether she should avoid the attack, after they finished speaking, she was caught by the sharp-eyed Murong Shaoxuan, who smiled at the door: Young Master Wuyou, since you are here, why don't you come in?
Seeing that, Feng Wuyou laughed dry as she turned around, and looked at the cyan purple on Murong Shaoxuan's forehead that was kicked out by the brick half a day ago. Although it was much better now, but if one looked carefully, they could still see it, and nodded in embarrassment: "Sir Murong, what a coincidence!"
Murong Shaoxuan also nodded with a chuckle, "Mn, what a coincidence."
Upon hearing Murong Shaoxuan's words, Huyan Ruijin who was sipping her tea at the side, could not help but turn her head and look at the legendary Young Master Wuyou, but after looking carefully, she could not help but be stunned. The legendary Feng Wuyou, looked like a person!
The masked guy beside him might have sensed that Huyan Ruijin was abnormal, but he couldn't help but follow his gaze and size Feng Wuyou up.
Feng Wuyou laughed dryly, and could only muster up the courage to walk in, and clasped her hands at the middle-aged man: "Paying respects to Mayor Mo."
Mo Lingfeng nodded her head, and then said in a low voice: "Welcome, Young Master Wuyou, please sit!"
With that said, Feng Wuyou was puzzled, hearing Mo Lingfeng's voice, it sounded like she was lacking in confidence, could it be that his body was not well?
"Thank you City Lord!" Feng Wuyou had originally wanted to find an opportunity to give her the piece she snatched away, to try to rope them in, but there were so many people in front of him, and it seemed that it would not be appropriate to do so.
After entering, she discovered that other than Mo Lingfeng, Huyan Ruijin and the masked guy, Murong Shaoxuan and Mu Qi, the two other people were sitting in the room.
He was dressed in black python robes with dragon patterns, and was currently seated on a chair, quietly sizing up Feng Wuyou. His cold and resolute lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was not a smile, staring at Feng Wuyou's black eyes, as though he had found his prey.
He was accompanied by a follower.
It seems like these three groups of people were brought in accordance to Mo Lingfeng's rules, and only brought one person into the City Lord's Mansion!
The interest in Leng Qianqiu's eyes nearly made his heart collapse.
He quickly fanned himself with his fan and looked in his direction to hide his face. In his heart, he was also very puzzled, wasn't this man the same dead Broken Sleeve as when he met him in Palace of South Qi?
Why did he come as well?
If he remembered correctly, this Duan Xiu should belong to some royal clan of the Darknorth realm. He should be a prince if not the emperor.
Moreover, the last time he had gotten along with this dead man, his eyes had been so terrifying. He couldn't possibly be thinking about something else, right?
Mo Lingfeng, who was sitting at the head seat, glanced at everyone present, and then lightly smiled, "Since everyone is here, let's get down to business."
Feng Wuyou continued to use her fan to block Leng Qianqiu's gaze, and somewhat nervously sat down on her own seat, listening intently to Mo Lingfeng's words.
"I wonder what Mayor Mo is planning?" Hearing this, Huyan Ruijin said in a neither cold nor hot manner.
Mo AoTian coughed lightly: "Everyone here, you are definitely the most outstanding juniors compared to the current Navy Tide Continent. This old man knows the purpose of your trip, and also knows that some of you are bent on obtaining the Herba Brassicae. This old man does not plan on making things difficult for you, but whether or not you can get your wish depends on your individual abilities."
What?
Feng Wuyou looked at Mo Lingfeng in surprise. She had initially thought that Herba Brassicae were the most precious treasures of the middle canal, and that the Mo family had always protected them, so she decided to not give them to others easily.
However, he didn't intend to make things difficult for them!
Meaning, even if she stole Murong Shaoxuan's chess, it would be for nothing?
As he thought about this, his gaze quietly swept across Murong Shaoxuan, only to see him smiling in reply, as warm as jade, as if he had forgotten half a day ago, when Feng Wuyou slapped his brick.
But from Feng Wuyou's point of view, this smile was extremely sarcastic.
He had spent so much effort to snatch it away, and in the end, he even owed her a favor for nothing, but it didn't seem to be of any use at all. Just the thought of it made him feel intoxicated!
Murong Shaoxuan politely smiled at Feng Wuyou, then turned her head to Mo Lingfeng and raised an eyebrow, her smile was still indifferent: "What does City Lord mean?"
Before Mo Lingfeng could speak, Huyan Ruijin spoke out, "Regardless of what the City Lord plans, this duke has come a thousand miles, and does not plan to return empty-handed!" From her words, it was clear that she was determined to win the Herba Brassicae!
After Leng Qianqiu heard what Huyan Ruijin said, he retracted his gaze from Feng Wuyou's body. A ruthless smile rose on his handsome face: "Haha, Prince Jin Xi Ling really doesn't place me, Beiming Su, in his eyes. Now that I think about it, we also came a thousand miles, should we return empty-handed?"
Feng Wuyou was speechless when she heard the two people's conversation.
Both of you came from thousands of miles away. Could she have been born here? They did not want to return empty-handed. Seems like this time, obtaining the Herba Brassicae was really a difficult task!
However, that Duan Jian just called himself "We", and also mentioned Darknorth Kingdom, could he be the Emperor Leng Qianqiu of Darknorth?
Understanding this, Feng Wuyou felt a chill in her heart. Was Duan Jian the emperor?!
In order to avoid attracting the attention of that dead Zhexiu, it was better for her to speak less, so she did not speak.
After Mo Lingfeng heard this, he did not bother about the two of them.
Cough lightly, then slowly said: "Since I can let a few people in, I will naturally be fair. From the stone path outside the door to the back of the mountain, one could reach the cliff of Jiang Zhu where the Herba Brassicae were. You all can go pick it based on your own abilities, whoever gets it will get it. "
Huyan Ruijin frowned her eyebrows, and asked coldly: "Mayor Mo means to say, we can do anything, anything?"
When these words came out, Murong Shaoxuan and Feng Wuyou, as well as Leng Qianqiu, were all startled. Regardless of the method or method?!
Mo Lingfeng nodded, "Yes. However, that is limited to within four hours after the Herba Brassicae bloomed. As for the location, naturally, it would be the Jiang Zhuzhe Cliff at the back of the mountain. If any of you fail to comply and 'accidentally' ran to some place you shouldn't be at, then you'll have to take responsibility for the consequences. "
He was the Zhonghe City's City Lord. Although he could make concessions and allow them to come in and snatch the Herba Brassicae, it did not mean that he could tolerate outsiders doing whatever they wanted in his City Lord's Mansion!
Huyan Ruijin swept a glance at the masked guy beside him, and gently nodded. "This king understands."
"This King understands as well." Murong Shaoxuan smiled lightly, and said slowly.
Feng Wuyou swept her eyes across Murong Shaoxuan. This king? He's also a prince?!
At the bottom of her heart, she was also curious, but she was also speechless: Isn't it just the blossoming of the Herba Brassicae, why is it that the person here is either the emperor or the prince? This battle, it is almost the same as the people at Empress Dowager's birthday banquet!
Could it be that the royal family of the Navy Tide Continent is usually very idle?
Leng Qianqiu looked at Feng Wuyou with a smile that was not a smile. Her eyebrows were filled with interest, and the corner of her mouth slightly curled up. This little thing was still in a daze.
Ever since the last Empress Dowager birthday banquet had ended, he had sent people to check on the male pets of the Southern Qi's harem, Baili Yi Chen. He had even checked on all the young eunuchs, but to no avail.
This really caused him to have a hard time finding it.
After half a month, he was already on the verge of giving up. To think that this little thing would once again appear in front of him!
"In that case, the few of you should go to the guest room to rest. The meal will be delivered to the guest room later." When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the others, "I would like to remind you that the Herba Brassicae will only blossom tomorrow, and only after blooming will it have the medicinal effect." After saying that, he walked out of the hall without looking back.
He really was a weird person!
After Mo Lingfeng left, there were only eight people left in the hall.
Huyan Ruijin and the silver masked man stood up, Huyan Ruijin clasped her hands at them and said, "Emperor Darknorth, Dong Heng, Young Master Wuyou, I will take my leave first." After saying that, he flung her sleeves and walked out the door.
As for the masked guy whose expression could not be seen, he simply followed behind him, and walked away without making a sound. When he passed by Feng Wuyou, she clearly felt him pause for a moment, as he gave her a deep look.
However, Feng Wuyou did not care about this masked guy at all. Instead, she was in a state of confusion. Her mind was filled with what Huyan Ruijin had just said. Dong Heng, Dong Heng … Murong Shaoxuan is Dong Heng?!
Murong Shaoxuan smiled lightly at Huyan Ruijin, then bade farewell to the two of them. With Mu Qi's help, she pushed the wheelchair out of the house and headed back into the room.
However, as for Leng Qianqiu, when he saw that the other four had left, he didn't seem to want to leave at all. With a pair of ruthless eyes, he stared at Feng Wuyou leisurely, and spoke with a smile that was not a smile: "Little one, long time no see."
Feng Wuyou had yet to recover from the shock that Murong Shaoxuan was indeed Xuan Wang, but when she was suddenly addressed like this by, it gave her goosebumps. She carried on singing, put down the fan in her hands, and discovered that he was staring at her.
He smiled until his teeth could no longer be seen, and spoke with a high-pitched voice: "What, long time no see, have I seen Emperor Darknorth? How come I don't remember? I suddenly remembered that I still have matters I need to discuss with Dong Heng. Xuan Wang, let's go together. "
With that, he walked towards Murong Shaoxuan with big strides.
Seeing that Feng Wuyou wanted to cover it up, Leng Qianqiu could not help but laugh: "You little thing, if you say you don't remember, then you will not remember. Just like last time, when you said you wanted to cover it up, you turned hostile.
"..." Huyan Ruijin who had curiosity written all over her face and the masked guy who was still as cold as ever suddenly stopped in his tracks. Everyone knew that Emperor Darknorth Leng Qianqiu had a strange personality and did things strangely, but they had never heard that he was Duan Xiu.
"..." A blank faced Murong Shaoxuan and a shocked face Mu Qi. The two of them knew about Feng Wuyou's identity as a woman, but Leng Qianqiu's words made them startled. It meant that Feng Wuyou and him had been together for a period of time?
It was truly Leng Qianqiu's words that were too ambiguous. No matter how you listened to it, it seemed like the two of them were having an affair!
"..." Feng Wuyou was speechless.
This dead Duan Xiu, what kind of nonsense was he spouting? After hearing all this, what was going on between him and her that made him feel as if he was on the same level as her? He turned around with a fake smile on his face. This young noble does not know what the Emperor Darknorth is saying, I will take my leave! "
