Chapter 509: Something exciting

King Yu felt humiliated, but had no evidence!

"Your Majesty, since we are negotiating peace, the main thing is naturally the friendly exchanges between the two countries in the future. Other things are secondary."

Xiao Jin tapped the table with his fingertips, "That's true, but... since the Southern Kingdom is the defeated country, how can we negotiate the terms? Shouldn't the Chu Kingdom have the final say? But I also hope that the Chu Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom can have friendly exchanges. I don't want that city, but for the rest, Prince Yu should discuss it with the King of the Southern Kingdom. When the things are delivered, I will definitely send the best soldiers in the capital to escort Prince Yu out of Chu."

To King Yu, these words sounded like a naked threat. If he could not agree to these conditions, then he would not have to go back!

Prince Yu left the imperial study with a gloomy face.

After returning, he could only send a message to the King of the Southern Kingdom again and try his best to mediate, otherwise he would be the one who would be in trouble.

Although there is a rule that envoys should not be killed, Xiao Jin may have ten thousand legitimate reasons to kill him in the capital.

When Prince Yu returned to the palace, his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The most urgent thing for him was to find a way to leave here as soon as possible.

"Send a message to the Emperor immediately and tell him what Xiao Jin meant. If the Emperor is unwilling to agree, we must be prepared to agree to the worst."

The envoys all looked unhappy. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor of Chu may just want to put pressure on Your Majesty and doesn't dare to really touch Your Majesty."

Prince Yu didn't think Xiao Jin would dare to touch him. "No matter what, we must find a way to leave the capital as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will send a message to the emperor immediately." It would be best if the King of the Southern Kingdom could agree to Xiao Jin's conditions, otherwise none of them would have an easy life.

…

At night, Xiao Jin walked into the inner hall after taking a bath and saw Su Ying sitting cross-legged on the bed, her phoenix eyes filled with brilliance.

Su Ying hooked her finger at him.

Xiao Jin raised his lips, waved his hand and asked the people in the inner hall to retreat, then walked up to Su Ying, bowed and put his forehead against hers.

Su Ying held his face with both hands and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to have something exciting tonight?"

Xiao Jin's dark eyes grew darker, "Think, what does the Queen say about playing?"

Su Ying raised her lips and smiled, Xiao Jin's throat tightened, and the temperature of the red candles in the inner hall was getting higher and higher.

Xiao Jin waved his sleeves, and the candles in the hall went out instantly.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Jin carried Su Ying on his back and climbed over the eaves and walls. The pale moonlight occasionally illuminated the gloomy look on his face.

If he knew that the excitement Su Ying was talking about was climbing over the wall to leave the palace in the middle of the night, he would have just knocked the person down no matter what.

Su Ying really didn't want to exercise late at night, so she let Xiao Jin carry her on his back. It was good to have light skills, and she should always give her man some space to display his talents.

More than half an hour later, Xiao Jin and Su Ying landed safely in the courtyard of the academy.

Both of them were dressed in black, almost blending into the moonlight.

After Xiao Jin stopped, Su Ying got off his back and pointed at the school building in front, "Is the row of houses over there haunted?"

Xiao Jin shook his head. He was not very clear about the details.

"Go and have a look."

"Don't worry, it's not time yet, let's find a place to wait."

Su Ying and Xiao Jin found a secluded place to hide.

People here said that female ghosts always appear after midnight. Su Ying wanted to know who this female ghost was.

Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly when he saw Su Ying's interested look on her face. These things could be done by others, but she found it interesting, so he joined in the fun.

Because of the haunted incident, the Ministry of Works sent two groups of people to patrol at night. Su Ying and her group hid in the dark and could still see the imperial guards coming and going.

However, nothing unusual occurred during this period.

Su Ying yawned and leaned into Xiao Jin's arms, closing her eyes and resting, "Call me if there's any movement."

Xiao Jin smiled and held her in his arms, "Okay."

The imperial guards patrol team was walking past. Xiao Jin's eyes were like a ferocious cheetah in the dark, able to see clearly all the prey lurking in the darkness.

At this moment, a white smoke suddenly rose from the direction where the imperial guards were heading. Because the night was too dark, no one would notice it unless they were standing above.

Su Ying felt Xiao Jin's muscles tense up, and she opened her eyes and came to her senses.

She followed Xiao Jin's gaze and saw a stream of white smoke pouring into the wall from behind the courtyard.

"I'll go take a look." Xiao Jin whispered.

Su Ying nodded, and in the blink of an eye she saw Xiao Jin heading towards the courtyard wall.

She also walked to the other side and found that the patrolling imperial guards were trapped in the white smoke. They seemed to be mesmerized by the smoke.

Su Ying jumped down from the roof and smelled the smoke as soon as she got close.

She stepped back quickly and held her breath. After the smoke cleared, she moved closer to check on the condition of the imperial guards.

Just then, there was a slight noise behind her, and she hid herself again.

Su Ying hid behind a large stone pillar and saw a red figure floating towards the imperial guards.

Her hair was disheveled and she was dressed in red, looking particularly eerie under the pale moonlight.

“Wuwuwu…”

The "female ghost" made a whimpering sound, attracting the imperial guards to look at her.

"Ah! There is a ghost! There is a ghost!"

The imperial guards were so frightened that they fell to the ground one after another. Some of them turned around and wanted to run, but they found that they had no strength at all, as if they were held in place by the female ghost.

The "female ghost" floated in front of them and slowly raised her paper-white face, scaring the imperial guards into screaming.

Su Ying observed the situation around her, then turned to look at the female ghost. She sneered and flew forward and kicked the "female ghost" in the vest.

"Ah!" The female ghost groaned and fell to the ground.

"I want to see who dares to play tricks here!"

The "female ghost" found that she had exposed her weakness and did not dare to stop at all. She stood up and jumped onto the wall to escape.

Su Ying sneered and chased after her quickly. This "female ghost" should be extremely familiar with the terrain of the academy, and she escaped very quickly. However, no matter how fast she ran, she could not be faster than the tranquilizer gun in Su Ying's hand.

Su Ying shot and hit the man, knocking him down instantly!

Su Ying put away the anesthetic gun in her hand and slowly walked towards him. She reached out and touched the other person's body. It was warm, but it was not the temperature that a ghost could have.

She turned the ghost over and could see his terrifying bloody mouth and face painted white.

Su Ying grabbed the red shirt on his body and wiped it on his face, and sure enough, a large piece of white flour was wiped off.

It turns out that someone is playing tricks here.

Su Ying picked him up and returned to where the imperial guards were just now, and found that all the imperial guards had fallen to the ground and fainted.
