At this moment, the waiter came up with a tray of food. He was very experienced and immediately saw what the man was about to do. He kindly reminded him, "Sir, you'd better go back to your room now."
Mu turned around and asked in surprise, his voice tinged with a certain accent, "Why? Could she be the daughter of some wealthy family?"
The waiter shook his head and said seriously, "Miss Chu is more terrifying than any other young lady from a wealthy family. You can still go back now."
How dare they flirt with Chu Jinjin? They're asking for trouble.
Chu Jinjin was speechless and wanted to tell him, "You have already exposed my identity."
With the surname Chu and speaking like that, is there another one like him in the entire capital?
As she suspected, Mu Wei immediately looked her up and down, and said thoughtfully, "Could you be the third young lady of the Chu family?"
Chu Jinjin nodded perfunctorily: "That's me."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
I don't want to cause trouble.
"The third young lady of the Chu family who single-handedly rescued her father from Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold and defeated 30,000 northern troops?" Mu Wei seemed incredulous, quickly following after her, his face full of surprise, "Is it really you?"
Chu Jinjin glared at him impatiently: "Yes, it's me. Is there anything else?"
The waiter said smugly, "Scared now? Haha, sir, you have to be careful who you flirt with."
Hotels are frequented by all sorts of people year-round; it's normal for men to get drunk and cause trouble, we're used to it.
"I don't believe it. How could a woman be so powerful?" Mu Wei said, suddenly patting Chu Jinjin's shoulder. The movement was slow and the force was not strong; it was more like a caress.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Jinjin grabbed his wrist without turning around and twisted it, then pulled hard.
This action wouldn't hurt anyone; she planned to throw this lecherous man downstairs.
She's not a single woman anymore; she can't just let anyone touch her shoulder.
However, this seemingly sure-fire move failed to achieve its intended effect.
The moment their wrists touched, Mu Wei suddenly reversed his position, grabbed Chu Jinjin's hand, and pulled her into his arms.
When masters clash, they can discern each other's true strengths and weaknesses in a single exchange.
Chu Jinjin was somewhat surprised. Were experts so worthless these days? How could a random foreign man possess such skill?
Chu Jinjin leaned into his arms and her elbow slammed into his chest.
Still to no avail. The other party seemed to have anticipated her move and took a step back, but had no choice but to let go of Chu Jinjin.
Chu Jinjin's expression was solemn: "Who are you?"
Mu Wei was actually quite good-looking, with thick eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and facial features with a three-dimensional curve rarely seen in people from the Central Plains. He laughed heartily, "Didn't I just tell Miss Jinjin that my name is Mu Wei?"
Chu Jinjin stared intently at him: "Do you really want to get beaten up? If so, let's go somewhere else."
This person is definitely not ordinary. His skills are indescribably strange. The experts she had encountered before, whether it was Jie Du or Wang Guangchen, could all be dealt with by her quickly. But this Mu Wei only made her feel that he was unfathomable.
In particular, he had a strangely familiar scent about him.
But the two of them had never met.
But so what? Chu Jinjin was confident she could still beat him to a pulp.
"No, no, I don't want to get beaten up. If we fight seriously, I'm definitely no match for Miss Jinjin." Mu Wei waved his hand vigorously, his smile suddenly becoming meaningful. "Besides, I'm afraid there will be many opportunities to spar with Miss Jinjin in the future."
Chu Jinjin ignored her and turned to go downstairs. Just as she was about to descend the last step, she suddenly took off the gold hairpin from her head.
A golden light arrived almost instantly.
The waiter was so frightened he almost fell to the ground, staring dumbfounded in the direction of the hairpin.
The goal, of course, is wood.
The hairpin appeared in his hand.
Mu Wei chuckled and touched it, seemingly feeling its warmth. He then stuffed it into his pocket and sighed, "Miss Jinjin is indeed remarkable. I admire her."
Chu Jinjin gave him a deep look, then turned and left.
She was testing the waters.
The familiar smell grew stronger and stronger.
I was still thinking about it when I got home.
Zhan Qin returned very late and took the initiative to report why he hadn't gone to pick her up: "I ran into Yuan Tianyou's servant on the way. He was planning to divorce Shu Shi and ask for an imperial title for my mother. Heh, he thought... Jinjin, are you listening?"
"I met a strange man tonight. His kung fu was very strange. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but he's such a foreign man with such a unique appearance. If I had seen him before, I would definitely remember him." Chu Jinjin tapped her head. She felt that she might have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She was very uncomfortable not being able to remember him.
"A foreign man? What exactly was he wearing?" Zhan Qin immediately shifted his attention. After listening to Chu Jinjin's description, he frowned. "He should be from the Northern Desert. Judging from the timeline, it should be. Jinjin may not know, but the Northern Desert sent an envoy who just arrived in the capital. The leader of the envoy claims to be the younger brother of the King of the Northern Desert."
Yuan Tianyou summoned him and, in addition to discussing his mother's matter, briefly explained the situation of the court, urging the two to leave the capital as soon as possible.
Zhan Qin said softly, "The current King of the Northern Desert has been on the throne for a long time and is already over fifty years old. He has three younger brothers, the youngest of whom is over thirty, while this younger brother, whose origins are unknown, is said to be only in his twenties."
The situation is delicate now, and the purpose of the Northern Desert delegation's visit to the capital is self-evident: to probe and to negotiate terms.
Let's see which side, the imperial court or the northern army, offers better terms.
As for the person leading the team, their identity must be extraordinary. Logically, to show sincerity, they should be the legitimate son of the King of the Northern Desert, etc.
Chu Jinjin's attention was also diverted: "What does the Emperor plan to do? Will he agree to whatever the Northern Desert proposes?"
"This is just speculation, and it might be a test of strength, but the probability of talks is higher. After all, the Northern Desert is thousands of miles away from the capital. If it fails, the fate of our clan may be annihilation." Zhan Qin waved his hand and pondered for a while. "Judging from your description, could this Mu Wei be the mysterious younger brother of the Northern Desert King?"
Chu Jinjin: "...It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
Chu Jinjin said cautiously, "Well, he was trying to flirt with me."
Zhan Qin: "......."
Chu Jinjin smiled wryly and comforted him, "It's alright, don't worry, no one can do anything to me. Let's not overthink it. Besides, there's still the Emperor."
Although she doesn't understand politics, she has basic intelligence.
If it's true, as they say, that she's become a key piece in this game, the Northern Desert people might actually use her as one of the conditions.
Zhan Qin took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let's leave the capital for now tomorrow."
This is exactly what Yuan Tianyou was worried about.
Based on past experience, the bargaining chips used by both sides in negotiations are nothing more than gold, silver, grain, land, etc., and in addition, a princess is often offered as a marriage alliance.
Yuan Tianyou was worried that the Northern Desert people would use Chu Jinjin to test them.
No one can guarantee what choice Xiao Huai will make.
There's always a chance of something going wrong.
Seemingly confirming their suspicions, the next morning, Eunuch Zhao came again, this time with a solemn expression.
Xuan Chu Jin Jin was summoned to the palace.
