Heartless Phoenix Queen - C226

On the second day after Murong Xiu returned to the imperial court, Tang Ao hastily went to find him and passed him an official document. As Murong Xiu took the piece of paper, he was both surprised and happy. To his surprise, Yun Ji was able to trick this little king into signing such a ridiculous convention. He was overjoyed that with this item, he would be able to legitimately imprison his young lord.

Yun Ji had sent someone to deliver this piece of paper to Tang Ao. It was a letter from Xi Li requesting for Dong Ping to send troops to attack the Northern Yue. Murong Xiu hadn’t expected this young master to be so confused and lacking in courage. He was once again interested in the abilities of the Twelfth Meiji, and was also interested in Yunji. He didn’t expect that this ice-cold looking girl was very good at dealing with men.

This piece of paper was quickly passed around to the officials in the imperial court, and then Murong Xiu said in a deep voice, “Luckily, I’ve been secretly supervising the king and secretly stole this thing from him. If this letter really fell into the hands of the king, and if the king of the Eastern Ping Kingdom really agreed, then the Western Land would not be complete. Even if we repel the Northern Yue, what’s the point? We, Xi Li, have always been on equal footing with Dongping and Beiyue. If this letter works, then we will be inferior to them! Little Wang would never have thought that the king, who indulged himself in the warmth of the country, would be so muddleheaded! ”

The officials below were also excited, expressing that the king should not have done so. Some of the reformers stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, please think of a way to make sure that the king won’t leave your sight. Also, that Ten Thousand Flowers House also needs Your Highness to issue an order to copy them!”

Murong Xiu put on an act and said, “This king also has the same intention as I did when I copied that Ten Thousand Flowers House. I only told the king not to leave my sight. It’s really hard to harm this little king.”

All of the officials asked Murong Xiu to discipline the young master. Murong Xiu was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be unwilling. In the end, the crowd pushed him forward and he had no choice but to do so. Then, Little Wang will reluctantly give it a try. ”

Although he tried it out, his actions were swift and decisive. At noon, the young master who was sleeping soundly in the Ten Thousand Flowers House was brought back to the palace. The Ten Thousand Flowers House was raided, so Murong Xiu ordered his men to let Yun Ji and the others go. The old procuress and others who were originally from the Ten Thousand Flowers House were temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon. Murong Xiu was going to call for his underlings to secretly poison these people so that they wouldn’t cause any trouble.

After that, Murong Xiu activated the people who had been helping him to concoct the poison. After three days and three nights, this group of people finally came out with a colorless, tasteless, and modified poison. Moreover, once the poison was consumed by the person, they would forget about their troubles and sink into a feeling of nothingness, as if they were filled with power. Eat often and you become dependent on it. Violet Garden had also received a packet of this poison before. After careful study, she found out that this poison was equivalent to an ice poison of later generations. She was rather impressed by Murong Xiu’s ability to create this poison.

Murong Xiu called this poison “Forget Worry” and dissolved it in the young lord’s tea for him to consume. After a week, the child had become much more obedient. He had been looking forward to Murong Xiu’s appearance every day, because now, he was able to drink tea that made him feel like he was a god. It was an amazing feeling.

From then on, Murong Xiu was certain that his nephew, who had once imprisoned him, had become a cripple. The emotions in his heart were extremely complicated.

He watched the boy grow up, and he wanted to help him become the hegemon of a generation. He didn’t expect that this child’s thoughts would run counter to his and lose all trust in him. It had been a long time since he’d seen the young master looking at him with such anticipation. Therefore, he was now more willing than before to go to the young master’s side, chat with him briefly, and occasionally drug him.

The reason why Mu Rong Xiu was able to do all of this in the capital city was due to his right-hand man, Liu Kun, restraining the Northern Yue Army. The tens of thousands of soldiers and advanced mechanical equipment that he left behind for Liu Dun made Liu Dun even more powerful. Although they couldn’t take down the northern Yue’s defensive city of Mei An, they were able to take back other nearby cities.

Helian Lie was slightly anxious about the stalemate in the war. He and Zi Yuan discussed whether or not he should return to the capital as a teacher before making a decision. However, Zi Yuan believed that it was imperative to obtain the blueprints for the new mechanisms.

“The most amazing things are those things. If it wasn’t for Liu Dun’s inability to bring those siege equipment across the Mian River, we would have lost Mian’an City. “If we can get those siege equipment, we’ll abandon Mei An city and head straight for the capital.”

“We should give up Mei An city. Wouldn’t we have to give up the magnetic ore mine?”

“We already have three thousand magnet soldiers. One magnet can deal with all the surrounding Heaven Armored Soldiers, I feel that it is enough. If we could steal the blueprints and send out the powerful assault vehicles earlier, we could take down the capital city very quickly. “Plus, Mu Rong Xiu went back to the capital.” Zi Yuan said.

Helian Haoyan volunteered, “I’ll have my hidden guards take a peek.”

However, Zi Yuan was not optimistic. “Murong Xiu has godly powers. Your hidden guards train in ordinary martial arts. No matter how high your martial arts are, the basic difference is still obvious.”

With a sigh, Helian Lie replied, “I really didn’t expect that the dark guard I was so proud of would become more and more useless.”

“It’s just that we don’t have a good opportunity like Murong Xiu to obtain a martial arts manual, that’s all.” Zi Yuan consoled Helian. He knew that this tough guy was probably missing their children. His oath was to rule the world before his children could speak. However, the West Heaven Alliance was unable to be defeated after a long time. This great hero of the Northern Yue had begun to deny himself.

Everyone would have their moment of weakness. At this moment, Helian sank into that fragile state of mind.

After Mu Rong Xiu re-entered the imperial court and gained control of the kingdom, the first thing he did was to make a deal with Feng Lingxue. He handed the blueprint of the siege chariot to Yun Ji, and asked, “Help me ask your marquis, if this duke wants to buy you another mission, what’s the price?”

Yun Ji’s cold expression flickered with a hint of incomprehension before she continued, “The prince can speak with the marquis himself about this matter. Yun Ji does have a request for you.”

Murong Xiu smiled and said, “Lady Yunji, please feel free to speak.”

“Yunji wants to fight with Tang Ao. I hope Your Highness will allow her to do so.” Yun Ji’s eyes were filled with determination.

“Fighting?” Murong Xiu was surprised.

“A battle formation.” Yunji said firmly.

Murong Xiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Sure, no problem.”

That night, Murong Xiu called Tang Ao over and asked quietly, “Tang Ao, you’re an honest person and won’t lie to me, right?”

“Tang Ao is completely loyal to the prince. Naturally, he wouldn’t hide anything from the prince.” Tang Ao had an honest look on his face.

“What is your relationship with Yunji?” Murong Xiu smiled. “I feel that our relationship isn’t shallow.”

A trace of awkwardness appeared on Tang Ao’s face. This honest man didn’t know what to say to Murong Xiu.

With a cold expression, Murong Xiu asked, “Is there anything you’re hiding from me?”

Tang Ao immediately knelt down: “Prince, please calm your anger. Tang Ao just doesn’t know how to explain this to you.”

Murong Xiu turned around, holding back his laughter as he continued to pretend to be angry. “Speak!”

Tang Ao is a citizen of Furong City. Your highness knows that, and Yunji is also a citizen of Furong City.” Tang Ao hesitated for a long time, but still said, “Yunji’s father is a member of the Dongping City Fengshui Company. “My ancestors also studied these types of Feng Shui arrays, so the two families were quite close to each other.

Murong Xiu turned around, gesturing for Tang Ao to continue.

Tang Ao looked at Murong Xiu’s expression and continued, “Afterwards, the Yun family moved back to Eastside Town. When we left, the nine year old Yun Ji fought with me once. “We fought against a very simple elementary Five Elements Formation, but Yun Ji lost to me, so I had no choice but to follow the agreement and give her the Eight Trigrams Mirror that her grandfather gave her to me …”

When Tang Ao said this, he stopped. Seeing that Murong Xiu had closed his eyes, he didn’t know if he was listening or not, so he hesitated to continue.

When Murong Xiu heard Tang Ao’s sudden silence, he didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he raised his chin, gesturing for Tang Ao to continue.

Tang Ao gulped. “Actually, we had another bet back then, and that was …” “In the future, she will marry me …”

When Murong Xiu heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed. “So that’s how it is.” Then, he told Tang Ao and told Ji Yunji to choose a time and place for their sparring.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ao quickly waved his hands and said: “Forget about it. These past few years, I haven’t studied formations properly, and I’m still at the same level as I was in the past. I heard that Yunji has been diligently studying and studying hard.” “If you put it this way, how can we compare? Tang Ao doesn’t have the courage to fight with her anymore.”

“Miss Yun Ji should be in her prime right now. Will you marry her?” Murong Xiu had hit the nail on the head.

“This …” Tang Ao was speechless. His impression of Yun Ji was still the same as when he first met her. The last time they met, Yun Ji had asked him to give Murong Xiu a document that he signed to deceive Young Master Xi Li. When he first saw Yun Ji, he was shocked to the core. He had never thought that the small girl with big eyes had become so beautiful.

“Tang Ao, I’m just afraid that I might have wronged Miss Yunji …”

A crafty light flashed in Murong Xiu’s eyes. “If you want to marry her, it’s not impossible. Although Yunji is currently one of the twelve beauties of the Dongping Young Marquis, Feng Lingxue, but her marriage is not something that’s up to that guy.”

Tang Ao’s eyes lost their luster. “The great name of Twelfth Meiji is like thunder to the ears. Tang Ao is still afraid of being wronged …”

“Bah!” Murong Xiu cut him off. “You’re a dignified General Xi Li. How could you feel wronged?” “No matter how famous the Twelve Mei Ji is, she’s still a subordinate of the marquis …” As Murong Xiu said this, he suddenly thought of a question. He couldn’t help but whisper into Tang Ao’s ear.

Tang Ao’s ears instantly turned red: “If Miss Yunji still has her eyes on Tang Ao, I don’t mind …”

“That’s good.” Murong Xiu smiled meaningfully. “I’ve already accepted Miss Yun Ji’s challenge on your behalf.”

Tang Ao was speechless. He knew that things had already come to this point, so he could only listen to Murong Xiu’s arrangements.
