Chapter 131 – The Fifth Prince’s Choice (Second Shift) Climax (2 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan unhurriedly got up from the ground and looked at him with a calm demeanor, “Good hands.”

“Oh,” the black-robed man did not reveal his original appearance, but his body through the inherent arrogance of the cold air, but no one can be compared, that is a kind of proud heaven and earth of the king’s temperament.

Mu Zi Yan straightened her wrinkled robe and tilted her head to look straight at him, “Speak, what is the purpose of bringing me here”

“Smart as you, why know why ask” black-robed man’s eyes deeper than Leng Hanfeng’s, that is a kind of unfathomable, as if the abyss-like vortex, stood in front of him, that body emanates the shock of the gas, straight to teach people do not dare to look at, only bowed down to the fear.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled coldly, “Do you really think the Duke of State will surrender because of me”

“Can’t.” The black-robed man said in a cold voice, “However, Jun Qian Yu can give up his life because of you.”

“So that’s what you were thinking.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “I’m just a woman, he is the Fifth Highness who is talented in literature and martial arts, why would he give up his life because of me?”

“Not if you and I make a bet how” the black-robed man coldly looked at Mu Zi Yan, listening to seem to be in the discussion, but that voice is not allow her to have the slightest rebuttal.

“What is the bet” Mu Zi Yan stepped back and sat down, pouring a cup of hot tea and sipping it lightly.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison the tea” the black-robed man asked snidely.

“Whether there is poison or not, I can tell by myself.” Mu Zi Yan confidently responded, putting the teacup down and looking at him with a smile.

“If he is willing to sacrifice his life for you, I will release you.” The black-robed man whispered, “If he refuses to sacrifice his life, then I will kill him.”

Mu Zi Yan sneered, “What kind of bet are you making”

“You belong to me.” The black-robed man said in a cold voice.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Good, a deal is a deal.”

“Do you want him to die, or do you want to go back with me” The black-robed man lowered his eyes and looked straight at her, although he used the veil to cover his face, he was able to see that the corners of his lips, which were hidden under the veil, were slightly hooked up at the moment.

Mu Zi Yan played with the teacup, “Since I’ve already made a bet, look at the result, I’m willing to gamble to lose.”

“Good.” It was rare for the black-robed man to stumble upon such an interesting woman, but instead, he was a bit eager to try.

At this time, one person came in the tent, wearing ink-colored armor, stout and tall, turned his eyes and coldly glanced at Mu Zi Yan, then arched his hand towards the black-robed man and said, “Everything is ready.”

“Good.” The black-robed man nodded slightly and turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Let’s go.”

“It seems that this is a setup that was arranged early on.” Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows, but in her heart, she expected this to be the case, and even more so, it was what she had hoped for.

She stepped out of the tent unhurriedly before being led under the gates of the town of Hornbeam.

The Duke of State and the Second Master of Qi have learned the news of Mu Zi Yan’s captivity, and while they were anxious, they saw Mu Zi Yan appearing at the enemy’s army, and the Duke of State saw Fu Heng sitting on a warhorse, with Mu Zi Yan beside him tied to the back of the horse.

At this moment, Jun Qian Yu stopped the movements in his hands and looked towards Mu Zi Yan in the distance.

She looked at him with a calm face, and at this moment, the two of them were looking at each other like this, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, while Fu Heng went up to look at Jun Qian Yu.

“Fu Heng, kidnapping a woman is not enough to win.” Jun Qian Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he for expected Mu Zi Yan to be taken away by Fu Heng.

Mu Zi Yan can see Jun Qian Yu’s mind, it seems that he does want to use himself to lure out Fu Heng, and then use Fu Heng to kill him, but in that case, even if he dies in battle, it will be difficult for the State Duke’s Office to escape the blame ah.

Mu Zi Yan looked straight at Jun Qian Yu, did not say a word, she is not sure at the moment Jun Qian Yu can not read the meaning expressed in her eyes, in case he insisted on using his own method it After all, she does not believe that Jun Qian Yu really because of the words of her young and ignorant, and for this to give up their lives.

Fu Heng looked at him, “The art of war is also tricky, as long as the result is what I want, it doesn’t matter as to how I win.”

Jun Qian Yu’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light when he saw Fu Heng say this, “What do you want”

“One life for one life.” Fu Heng sneered, “I don’t know what the Fifth Prince thinks.”

The Duke of State looked at Mu Zi Yan with a calm face and no fear, he turned his eyes to look at Second Master Qi, “Wait a little longer.”

“Father, this Fu Geng is also too despicable.” Second Master Qi rebuked in a cold voice.

“And wait.” The Duke of State, however, felt that things were not so simple.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Yu and saw that his handsome features were stained with dots of blood, his silver robe seemed to be dotted with red plums, and his slender eyes were slightly narrowed, obviously suppressing his anger.

Mu Zi Yan looked towards Jun Qian Yu, “Fifth Highness, you don’t have to mind me.”

Jun Qian Yu saw Mu Zi Yan open his mouth, he will once again gaze on her body, see her even if she became a captive, but her expression is still calm, did not show half a bit of fear, she just calmly looked at him, without the slightest emotion.

Such a demeanor caused his heart to panic, and he was silent for a few moments as the two sides stood in a stalemate.

Mu Zi Yan knew that Jun Qian Yu understood what she was saying, but she also knew clearly that Jun Qian Yu was worried about whether Fu Heng would renege at that moment.

The generals from both sides lay down their flags, each standing behind their generals at the moment, waiting for Jun Qian Yu’s final decision.

Time passes slowly, Yunxiang and Biyun two people anxious tears, but now can only be so anxious, since it can not help anything.

“Father, what do you think about this matter” Second Master Qi felt that there was something strange going on and couldn’t help but ask.

“This girl has guts, just so the risk is too great.” The Duke of State finally came back to his senses, Mu Zi Yan in the Warm Pavilion said the words, he now does not know whether to be happy or said that the worry, only to feel that this girl than when he was young but also more desperate.

“Father, nothing can happen to Fifth Highness, and neither can Smokey.” Second Master Qi whispered.

“Wait a little longer.” The Duke of State pretended to be calm, but at this moment, he was also anxious.

Pay aseng obviously waited a little impatient put, and then pulled out the waist of the knife set in mu zi yan’s neck, according to mu zi yan nowadays small body, that ice knife set in her neck, seems to be like a boulder general pressure.

Mu Zi Yan, however, did not even frown for a second, but just calmly looked at Jun Qian Yu, life and death was only a thought away.

There is a stalemate here, and the capital is unsettled at the moment.

News from the border always came at intervals, inside Marquis Zhong’s residence, Zhong Xuan listened to his subordinate’s report with a somber expression, “Master, the people sent there are all dead.”

“Mu Zi Yan does have some ability.” Zhong Xuan sneered, “How is the border now?”

“The news received is also from yesterday.” Subordinates whispered in response, this also relies on Zhong Xuan in order to receive news as soon as possible, so specially trained a group of carrier pigeons, and these carrier pigeons are faster than ordinary carrier pigeons, since the border to the capital to pass the news, a day instantly.

“Speak.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke in a deep voice.

“Eldest Miss Mu arrived at Jiao Men Town early yesterday morning, and then went to Wei City, while the Northern Qing Kingdom sent troops to sneak attack Jiao Men Town in the middle of the night.” The subordinate reported back truthfully.

“A good show is on.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Nowadays, among the princes, the fifth prince is a bit more qualified than the crown prince and the third prince, so if he is eradicated, the emperor will have to choose between the crown prince and the third prince.”

“Master, Miss Mu seems to be aware of something, she arrived early, isn’t it to stop this matter” the subordinate asked in a low voice.

“No matter how capable she is, there is no way she can stop this matter, the Lord has been planning this for so long, no matter how capable Jun Qian Yu is, she will surely die.” Zhong Xuan stretched her arms, “If this is used to get rid of Mu Zi Yan as well, it would be best.”

“Master, the twelfth prince has contracted a wind chill, it doesn’t look good.” The subordinate reported in a low voice.

“This is good news.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Before the big event, all obstacles must be cleared.”

“Master, Lord Leng has arrived in Lu County without incident.” The subordinate continued.

“How is the Marquis Mu,” Zhong Xuan asked indifferently.

“The fourth princess is quiet these days, did not make any noise, but with the third master Mu has not yet roomed together, Mrs. Marquis Mu is living at ease, the old madam’s place did not have any movement.” The subordinate raised her eyes to Zhong Xuan, “Master, since Zhang Er Miss entered the Zhang Hou Mansion, she sleepwalks every night, stirring up the Zhang Hou Mansion.”

“The more chaos stirred up, the better.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “I’m going to teach Zhang Staffer a lesson since I’m going to give him a lesson, he even gave up the Third Prince and defected to Mu Zi Yan instead, he really has a lot of guts.”

“Master, what about the Su and Hou families,” the subordinate continued to ask.

“Su Qinrou will be dealt with by someone else, as for the Hou family, just wait.” Zhong Xuan would not easily let go of those who got in her way.

“Subordinate retires.” The subordinate responded and then retreated.

Zhong Xuan raised her eyes and glanced at the sky, and then wearing her cloak, she left from the secret passage, and after about half an hour, she arrived at the Third Prince’s residence, where Jun Qianhao had just returned from the Third Prince’s side consort, Cui Yunshi.

When he entered the study, he saw Zhong Xuan already waiting for him there.

He smiled as he stepped forward and sat across from Zhong Xuan, “How did things go”

“If there are no surprises, it will be in these few days.” Zhong Xuan said as she raised her eyes to look at Jun Qianhao.

Jun Qianhao gazed at Zhong Xuan with a light smile, this demonic woman, but like an enigma, since the first time he saw her, he decided to take her under his wing.

Zhong Xuan’s slender fingers moved slowly, gently hooking Jun Qianhao’s fingers that were placed on the case as she tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, “I will reach maturity in a few months.”

“Father has already taken a liking to it.” Jun Qianhao held her hand back, “I don’t care about the matter between you and Leng Hanfeng.”

“I have nothing with him.” Zhong Xuan then got up and fell into Jun Qianhao’s arms as soon as her body went limp, “You don’t know very well who I have in my heart”

With that she placed his palm over her chest and rubbed it up and down, “Can you feel my heart”

“Little goblin,” Jun Qianhao moved forward, lightly biting her lips, gently unbuckling her belt, sliding his hands inside her dress, kneading her gelatinous skin.

“En,” Zhong Xuan softly chirped out, her charming eyes caressing his face, “When we are married, everything I have will be yours.”

“Has Leng Hanfeng ever touched you like this” Jun Qianhao asked in a lowered voice as he roamed her snow white skin.

“Jealous,” Zhong Xuan raised her eyebrows, her bare forehead resting against the tip of his nose, her voice dripping with a hint of seduction.

“If you are not jealous, you are not a man.” Jun Qianhao said as he held her delicate lips and whispered, “En.”

Zhong Xuan laughed lightly, “I love seeing you jealous.”

Jun Qianhao let out a laugh, “You’re eating me up.”

“This hasn’t been eaten yet.” Zhong Xuan’s soft wrists rested on his shoulders, and her delicate body snuggled up to him, curling up in a silky, seductive manner, “You wait, I’m going to savor it.”

Jun Qianhao rolled over and pressed her onto the short table, looking at her with downcast eyes, “I just love how bold you are.”

“It’s getting late, I should head back.” Zhong Xuan pushed him away with both hands, slowly and methodically dressed as a whole, and turned around to leave with a flourish.

Jun Qian Hao smiled and watched her leave, that corner of the mouth gradually convergence of the smile, turned into a frozen cold, and then out of the study, since went to the third prince consort that, since some lingering.

Zhong Xuan reentered the Marquis Zhong Mansion when she saw her subordinates come to report, “Master, Concubine Oriole”

“En,” Zhong Xuan’s eyes went cold, then she sat down.

“Concubine Orihime has died.” The subordinate answered back with his head hanging down.

“Who moved,” Zhong Xuan said in a cold voice.

“The subordinate has not yet sought to find out, it seems to be related to Concubine Yun.” The subordinate whispered.

“With Concubine Yun,” Zhong Xuan mused for a moment, “Could it be that Concubine Orihime made a move against Concubine Yun”

“The twelfth prince contracted a wind chill, it was found out that someone had tampered with it, and it turned out to be Orihime’s head, and since Consort Yun had the evidence, the Emperor disposed of Orihime.” The subordinate reported back truthfully.

“It was quick to do it.” Zhong Xuan then sat down, “Concubine Yun is intentionally framing Concubine Orihime, could it be that she sensed something”

“At that time, the assassination of the twelfth prince was secretly assisted by Oriole Concubine, and it seems that this matter was known to Consort Yun, which is why Oriole Concubine was eradicated.” The subordinate continued.

“Look into this matter clearly.” Zhong Xuan felt that something must have gone wrong in this, things were done with a hidden body, there was no possibility that Concubine Yun would have noticed, unless someone had leaked the information to Concubine Yun.

“Yes.” The subordinate answered and then retreated.

Marquis Zhong was ordered to personally escort the grain and grass to the border, now also gone for more than half a month, therefore, today’s Marquis Zhong’s house is also considered to be calm and unruffled.

These days since the old lady of Pingxi County had moved out, she had subsided in her new mansion for a few days, but recently strange things had happened.

A few days in a row, there are always underlings disappeared for nothing, and later, the old lady of Pingxi County only learned that the original mansion is a ghost house, which was angry with the old lady of Pingxi County.

Zhu Yue these days recovered well, but the face of the scars are ultimately left, the former face is gone, daily can only stare at the copper mirror in the head of the appearance, secretly cursed Mu Zi Yan.

Wish gravel resting place is almost the same, these two days are indulged with the fireworks place, so did not rest in the mansion.

The mansion is haunted, making people panic, especially Zhu Yue’s two maidservants innocently disappeared, which makes Zhu Yue scared not to stay in the mansion, to the old lady Pingxi County pleaded several times, want to move out, or to return to the Mu Hou House, but was stopped by the old lady Pingxi County.

She does not believe that with their own identity can not suppress these evil spirits, so still live in the mansion, until she has been serving beside the personal maid suddenly disappeared, she only then tensed up.

“Old Madam, why don’t we invite a Taoist priest to come and perform the ritual,” suggested the old Sister.

“No.” Old Lady Pingxi County is a good face, although that matter makes her face, but she still can’t lose face, so since she did not agree.

And regardless of the trivial things that happen here in the capital, only to say that the border, the two armies face each other, stalemate for two whole hours, Jun Qian Yu just watching Mu Zi Yan, did not do anything to choose.

Mu Zi Yan was not in a hurry, the more so, on the contrary, the more convincing to the Northern Qing Dynasty, if Jun Qian Yu decided too quickly, then the other side would think that Jun Qian Yu was putting on a show, or they have long been colluding.

And just at this moment, the soldiers behind Fu Heng hurriedly came to report, “General, the enemy army bypassed the border and attacked the military camp.”

“Fifth Highness is really a good plan.” Fu Heng now understood why Jun Qian Yu would be hesitant to agree, it turned out to be a delaying tactic.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were bland, but a flash of appreciation flashed across the lower part of her eyes, toward the fact that even though he was pushed to this point, he still came up with a way to deal with it, so that even the far-sighted Fu Heng had to believe that Jun Qian Yu was stalling.

The Duke of State turned his eyes toward Second Master Qi, “Have all the men and horses sent out been withdrawn?”

“All withdrawn.” Second Master Qi replied in a low voice, all because Jun Qian Yu had just now put her hands behind her back in a gesture, so that he could understand Jun Qian Yu’s scheming.

“Fifth Prince, I’ll count to ten, if you don’t do it, I’ll do it.” Fu Heng had already lost his patience and coldly shouted.

Mu Zi Yan is still standing upright, although being held hostage, but the gaze is firm, not half a bit of fear, as if death for her is not worth mentioning.

Jun Qian Yu did not know why she was able to show such composure at this moment of life and death, but it was undoubtedly her calmness that gave him more time to make arrangements to ensure that he could bring her back unharmed.

He looked at Mu Zi Yan, that red lips bloomed a touch of absolute smile, it seems that heaven and earth only left his absolutely beautiful smile, I do not know how many people’s eyes and heart confused, he whispered and opened his lips, “Smoke, eight years ago, you and I were destined to be, is not it”

Mu Zi Yan looked at the determination that flashed in his eyes, at this moment, even if she knew that he was putting on a show, but her heart was born with sadness, she looked straight at him, she indeed did not remember what happened at the age of three, but she remembered the first time she saw him when he returned to the capital.
