141. Starry City Night(1/3)

The night was dark, and the entire Baihe City fell into silence, and only the sound of the cold wind could be heard.

In the backyard of a jade shop in Baihecheng, two black shadows fell from the sky.

"Master, the person is here." The middle-aged woman stood at the door and said respectfully during the day.

"Please!" Yu Wenying's voice came from the room.

The next moment, the door opened, and two men in black walked in one after another. It was Du Wu and Jin Liancheng.

"Brother Du, are you nearby? Why did you come so quickly?" Yu Wenying looked happy when she saw Du Wu.

Du Wu took off the cloak on his head, revealing an old face, looked at Yu Wenying and said lightly: "Aying, you helped me back then, and I owe you once, but I helped you find your grandson. We have already reached the point. What are you doing to me?"

"Brother Du, please help me because of our friendship back then!" Yu Wenying looked at Du Wu and said, "When I get everything that belongs to me, the benefits of Brother Du will inevitably be avoided at that time!"

"Your grandson is in this city now. If you don't have the ability to bring him back in this way, how can you talk about the future? I advise you to stop as soon as possible, find a place to hide, and enjoy your old age!" Du Wu snorted coldly.

"Brother Du, I don't have many people available in my hands, so I can't act rashly." Yu Wenying's eyes were slightly dim.

"Chi Yan, what do you think of the difficulties encountered by Empress Dowager Yuwen?" Du Wu suddenly turned around and asked Jin Liancheng.

Jin Liancheng lowered his head slightly and stood respectfully aside, without taking down the cloak on his head.

Hearing Du Wu's question, Jin Liancheng pondered for a moment and said, "The disciple thought that since he knew that the grandson of Tuoba was taken in by Xiao Xinghan, it would be better to spread the news. At that time, Tuoba Jun would definitely kill the grandson of Tuoba by any means, so he would definitely become an enemy with Xiao Xinghan. While the two sides were fighting, the Emperor of Tianli would also be suspicious of Xiao Xinghan and take action to deal with him. At that time, when Tuoba Jun and Xiao Xinghan both suffered losses, it would be the opportunity for Empress Dowager Yuwen!"

Du Wu laughed in a low voice: "A Ying, you heard that my disciple has shown you a clear way."

Yu Wenying frowned slightly: "No! What if Emperor Li knew that Xiao Xinghan had taken in my grandson, and their monarch and ministers united to use my grandson to plot against Beimo Kingdom? Xiao Xinghan was too strong, and Tuoba Jun was no match for him at all. Once they fought, Beimo Kingdom would be in danger, and then I would have no chance!"

"What A Ying said is not impossible." Du Wu said in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Be the best!" A cold light flashed in Yu Wenying's eyes, "My grandson is now in Xiao Xinghan's hands. It is easy to get more profitable. Since this is the case, I don't have to pay attention to them for the time being, and it is necessary to cut off the possibility of Tianli Kingdom and Xiao Xinghan's plan for the Beimo Kingdom!"

"The bodies of my children and grandchildren that Tuoba Jun retrieved were all fake. As long as he opened the coffin and examined the autopsy, he could expose his lies! All officials and even the people of the Beimo Kingdom must know this in their hearts!" Yu Wenying said coldly.

"Does Empress Dowager Yuwen plan to find two more people, pretend to be Prince Tuoba and Grandson of the Emperor, and then return to Fanxing City to seize the throne?" Jin Liancheng asked in a strange voice.

"That's right!" Yu Wenying said sternly, "I must kill Tuoba Jun with my own hands so that he will die without a burial place! When I take back the throne, I will find my real children and grandchildren and kill the fake ones, and naturally, I will be foolproof!"

"Empress Dowager Yuwen's plan is feasible." Jin Liancheng said in a low voice, "But has Empress Dowager Yuwen ever thought that if Xiao Xinghan and the royal family of Tianli really planned to use Ling Sun to plot against Beimo Kingdom, Empress Dowager Yuwen's behavior means that Empress Dowager Yuwen will never admit that Xiao Xinghan's son is Tuoba's grandson. This will disrupt their plan. If Sun loses its value, will he still have a life?"

Yu Wenying's expression turned cold: "I can't care about so much now!"

Jin Liancheng sneered in his heart. Yu Wenying said it loudly. In fact, the one who really couldn't let go of power was herself. She was not planning for her children and grandchildren, but just to satisfy her own selfish desires.

"Since Aying has decided, I will help you again." Du Wu looked at Yu Wenying and said, "But I have the conditions this time."

"What are the conditions for Brother Du? Just ask," said Yu Wen Ying.

"I want to live forever." Du Wu said in deep eyes as he looked at Yu Wenying.

Yu Wenying's eyes flashed slightly: "The thing like the Changshenghua has long been extinct, where can I have it?"

Du Wu sneered: "A Ying, you don't have to pretend in front of me. The Changshenghua appeared in Fanxing City before. If it is not in Tuoba Jun's hands, it must be in your hands!"

Yu Wenying looked a little hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as you help me this time, I will give it to you."

Soon, the backyard of the jade shop became empty, leaving only the lanterns under the porch emitting dim light.

The next morning, the team that sent off the bride set out again. This time, Mu Yan did not see Shen Yunzhi following Tuoba Ling on a horse. Mo Qingchen said that he beat Shen Yunzhi yesterday and slapped him in the face. At this moment, Shen Yunzhi's nose was blue and swollen and hid in the carriage.

"Xiao Tian'er, what is the reason for you to bully the small ones by the big ones? Do you fall in love with Princess Tuoba?" Mu Yan asked Mo Qingchen.

"Master, don't get me wrong. I didn't like that ugly princess!" Mo Qingchen lowered his voice and said to Mu Yan, "It's A Jin who likes someone."

"What are you talking about?" Lian Jin came over and asked.

"Ahem! There's nothing but nothing!" Mo Qingchen smiled and put his arms around Lian Jin's shoulder and said, "My master said he wanted to eat venison tonight. Please tell Princess Tuoba, and let her come back with a deer!"

Lian Jin looked at Mu Yan, and Mu Yan said innocently: "Xiao Tian'er is talking nonsense, I don't want to eat venison."

Lian Jin looked at Mo Qingchen coldly and threw a sentence: "Why are you eating so ugly?" After saying that, he left.

Mo Qingchen's face was as if he was struck by lightning. He turned his head blankly and looked at Mu Yan: "Master, did you see it? Just because I said that Princess Tuoba was ugly, he said that I was ugly, and he must have liked someone!"

Mu Yan smiled: "Xiao Tian'er, don't be so irritating. Others are good, but they just can't stand you talking all day long."

"The other person is good? Master means I'm bad?" Mo Qingchen said sadly.

"Stop being poor, I'm going to set off." Mu Yan finished speaking and put down the curtain of the car.

Mo Qingchen turned over and chased Lian Jin again.

In the carriage, Tuoba Yan asked Mu Yan seriously: "Mom, can't my aunt really get married? I don't think she looks ugly."

Mu Yan smiled slightly: "Of course not, your aunt will find someone who likes her." Mu Yan only saw that Lian Jin didn't hate Tuoba Ling. Because of her own appearance, Lian Jin ignored her appearance the least, and she couldn't hear Mo Qingchen teasing Tuoba Ling's appearance every day, but Mu Yan really didn't see whether there were any other feelings in it so far. Moreover, Mu Yan was very sure that Tuoba Ling did not like Lian Jin either. It was purely Mo Qingchen who was messing around here.

After September 15th, the team to send off the bride has arrived in the central part of Beimo Kingdom. The annual sandstorm period in Beimo Kingdom will soon usher in. Tuoba Ling has made a lot of preparations in advance to deal with the bad weather that may be encountered in the future.

Under Tuoba Ling's arrangement, they were very lucky to have traveled. They successfully avoided the sandstorm along the way. They had experienced several not-severe wind and sand, and people riding horses outside couldn't help but eat some sand.

By the end of September, the team to send off the bride was approaching Fanxing City.

That night, Tuoba Yan rarely took the initiative to run to Xiao Xinghan and whispered to Xiao Xinghan.

"Dad, my father was killed by my emperor uncle." Tuoba Yan looked at Xiao Xinghan and said.

"Well, I know." Xiao Xinghan nodded slightly.

"I will avenge my father!" Tuoba Yan clenched his little fists and said to Xiao Xinghan.

"When?" Xiao Xinghan looked at Tuoba Yan and asked.

"When I grow up and become very strong." Tuoba Yan said with a serious face, "I know my father and mother are both very powerful, but I don't need you to help me. I want to avenge my father by myself!"

"Well, we didn't want to help you." Xiao Xinghan said in a cold tone.

Tuoba Yan frowned: "Mom definitely won't say that."

"Then why do you have to ask me?" Xiao Xinghan looked at Tuoba Yan. The warmth of father and son did not exist at all.

"Hmph!" Tuoba Yan glared at Xiao Xinghan, got up and ran to Mu Yan's place.

"Mom, my dad is cruel to me again." Tuoba Yan said to Mu Yan with a flat mouth. Tuoba Yan only likes to act coquettishly in front of Mu Yan.

"You hit him." Mu Yan's lips curled slightly, and she did not put down the medicine pestle in her hand. She was grinding a kind of medicine powder.

"I can't beat him," said Tuoba Yan.

"Remain the account first, and then hit him when you grow up." Mu Yan said with a smile.

Tuoba Yan nodded: "Okay, I want to keep a record. Every time my dad bullies me, I have to remember it. When I grow up, I will call you back!"

"You are a good teacher!" Mu Yan pulled a piece of paper and took a charcoal pen she made to Tuoba Yan, "Be good, go and record the accounts, remember to remember the date and the whole story."

"Okay." Tuoba Yan climbed onto a chair beside Mu Yan, squatted on it with his little body, held the pen and began to write seriously.

Xiao Xinghan saw Mu Yan and Tuoba Yan and his son working hard, and no one paid attention to him, so he stood up and looked at Mu Yan and said, "I'll go out to collect herbs."

"Oh, go, come back early." Mu Yan didn't even raise her head. Xiao Xinghan is no stranger to Beimo Kingdom. He has been here many times. The medicine that Mu Yan is grinding is the one that Xiao Xinghan took her out to pick last night, a poisonous flower that only blooms at night.

Xiao Xinghan frowned slightly. When he thought that tomorrow was the first day of the October lunar month, Mu Yan was about to get sick again, so he strode over and picked Tuoba Yan up and walked out.

Tuoba Yan held a pen in his right hand and paper in his left hand. When the resistance was ineffective, he was thrown away by Xiao Xinghan to Lian Jin.

Xiao Xinghan returned and found that Mu Yan, who was still sitting at the table grinding herbs not long ago, was missing...

Xiao Xinghan entered the inner room and found that the bed curtain was hanging down. His eyes were slightly dark, and he strode over and lifted the bed curtain. He saw Mu Yan slowly taking off his clothes. Mu Yan, whose shoulders were half exposed, looked at Xiao Xinghan and asked seriously: "Xiao Hanhan, didn't you say you wanted to go out to collect herbs? Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Xinghan looked at Mu Yan with deep eyes and said, "If I don't collect herbs tonight, I want to collect flowers."

Just as Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan were in love, Mo Qingchen's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Fanxing City has changed!"

Xiao Xinghan looked up and shouted outside: "Get out!"

Mo Qingchen touched his chin with an awkward expression. In fact, he vaguely heard the sound inside and knew what his master and Xiao Xinghan were doing. However, something happened in Fanxing City. He had reported it now. Whether the masters went or not was not his control.

Mo Qingchen left awkwardly, Mu Yan wanted to get up, but some things were not something Xiao Xinghan could do freely...

Half an hour later, the clouds cleared and rain stopped. Mu Yan lay lazily in Xiao Xinghan's arms and said, "Go and see what's going on... Since Xiao Tian'er didn't say anything else, it should be a dispute within the royal family of the Beimo Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah." Xiao Xinghan's voice was obviously a little reluctant, because he was not happy yet.

"The future is long, why are you anxious?" Mu Yan leaned over and kissed Xiao Xinghan on the cheek, "You go, be careful, come back early, I don't want to move."

"Okay." Xiao Xinghan gently stroked Mu Yan's pink face, got up and got out of bed, cleaned it up briefly, put on his clothes and left.

After Xiao Xinghan left, Mu Yan did not continue to sleep and got up.

It was midnight. When Mu Yan found Tuoba Ling, Tuoba Ling was not asleep yet and was reading a book in the room. It was a military book.

"Princess Xiao?" Tuoba Ling was a little surprised to see Mu Yan coming.

"I just received the news that something happened in Fanxing City." Mu Yan looked at Tuoba Ling with a faint expression and said.

Tuoba Ling frowned: "What happened?"

"I don't know." Mu Yan shook his head slightly, "Xiao Yan is still by our side. I guess it should be the internal dispute between the royal family of the Beimo Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with you and me."

Tuoba Ling sighed slightly: "Actually, after Tuoba Jun ascended the throne, some of Yu Wenying's old subordinates did not recognize the emperor Tuoba Jun."

Mu Yan can understand that the ministers who were originally valued by Yu Wenying will definitely not be valued by the new emperor Tuoba Jun. Whether those ministers are loyal to Yu Wenying or out of reluctance, they will choose to support Yu Wenying once they have the chance.

"Do you think it's Yu Wenying who returned to Fanxing City?" Mu Yan looked at Tuoba Ling and asked.
To be continued...
