Mu Nanjin was puzzled: "Not in the mansion? Where did he go?"

Gu Ming's eyes moved slightly. He didn't want her to put too much thought on the child, so he lied to her and said, "He went to the princess's mansion."

"Really?" Mu Nanjin didn't quite believe that Bai Ze would go to find the princess, but the princess would pick him up to play.

"Where are the other four children?"

Gu Ming's expression faded: "I don't know."

"Don't know? Aren't they with Bai Ze? Did you see them when you went to Mu's Mansion?"

"have no idea."

Seeing his cold expression, Mu Nanjin asked, "Did they make you unhappy?"

"No." Gu Ming said calmly, "I just feel that they are not my children. I don't need to spend too much energy on them."

Mu Nanjin was somewhat speechless: "Bai Ze is not your child either."

"At least in name only."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

Gu Ming picked up a piece of almond sponge cake and put it next to her mouth: "Eat the cake quickly. After you finish the cake, I will take you on the mission."

Mu Nanjin put the matter of the child behind his mind: "What mission?"

"The Jinyiwei found out that the former royal family of David Kingdom was fleeing in the direction of Jiuguang Kingdom, so the emperor sent us to capture them."

Mu Nanjin was not interested: "No."

[Such a tiring job is not suitable for me. ]

[It’s better for me to stay in the Duwei Mansion and watch TV dramas in my spare time, hehe. ]

Gu Ming had expected that she would answer him like this.

He was not in a hurry. After he had almost finished feeding Mu Nanjin, a Jinyiwei rushed in and said, "Commander-in-chief, we just received news that the royal family of David Kingdom is now hiding outside the border of Jiuyue Kingdom. They don't dare to enter the border because they don't have a pass token and they carry too much property. Otherwise, a large amount of gold and silver treasures will be robbed by the soldiers of Jiuguang Kingdom."

[A large amount of gold, silver and treasures? ]

Mu Nanjin pricked up his ears.

[How much gold, silver and treasure is there in this huge amount? ]

[If you don’t tell me the actual number, I’ll be really anxious. 】

[Oh, why did I get so confused when I heard about treasure? How could I forget that I could check the situation of the royal family of the Kingdom of David through gossip news. ]

[Let me see…]

[Wow wow wow - two hundred thousand taels of gold, five hundred thousand taels of silver, and countless jewels and jewelry. I'm rich, I'm going to be rich.]

【The food supply for Taotie for the year has been secured. 】

【I will go and rob them now. 】

Mu Nanjin stood up subconsciously.

Gu Ming was puzzled: "You don't want to eat anymore?"

"I have something to do. I won't eat anymore."

Gu Ming looked regretful. "I thought you had a big appetite, so I brought all kinds of roasted meats, including roasted whole pig, roasted whole lamb, roasted whole cow, etc. roasted by Captain Liang himself. I didn't expect you to be full so quickly. Since you don't want to eat it, I have to save it for the road."

"Captain Liang?" Mu Nanjin immediately remembered who it was: "Are you talking about the former Captain Liang?"

Liang Baihu’s barbecue skills are indeed unique, and the food is very memorable. Otherwise, she would not remember Liang Baihu.

"Yes, he has now been promoted to a thousand households. He didn't have a good rest for more than half a month because he was grilling meat for you."

Mu Nanjin sat back down: "Why don't you take out the barbecue?"

"I've decided to eat on the way."

Gu Ming said nothing more and led the Jinyiwei who were reporting the matter out of the backyard.

「Eh……」

[Wasn't this the barbecue you said was for me? Why did you take it away? ]

[Uh, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the governor wants me to go with him? What does he want to do? ]

[Actually, it doesn't matter if I go along. Someone will steal the silver for me anyway.]

She followed Gu Ming to the lobby, and while Gu Ming was explaining things to Liu Qianhu and the others, she used voice transmission to say to Wu Yuan, "Wu Yuan, do me a favor."

"Help me steal the silver." Mu Nanjin told Wu Yuan that the royal family of David had taken a large amount of gold and silver treasures with them: "You must take all the gold and silver treasures away before the Jinyiwei arrives."

〖yes.〗

Just as Wu Yuan responded to this, he heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice.

[Send Wu Yuan to take action, and the gold, silver and treasures of the David Kingdom royal family will be easily captured, hehe. ]

Wu Yuan held his forehead with his hand.

It would be fine if Captain Liu heard this, but it would be difficult to explain since the governor was also there.

So did he want to steal all the property? Gu Ming glanced at Wu Yuan, but did not say anything to stop him. Wu Yuan quietly felt relieved.

Mu Nanjin was worried and said, "This matter must be kept secret. No one can find out that it was you who did it."

Wu Yuan replied weakly, "Yes."

He had not even set out yet and it had been discovered that he had done it.

Mu Nanjin said to Gu Ming, "Commander-in-chief, I have changed my mind. I want to go on the mission with you. Governor Li, you can start the martial arts competition after we come back."

Gu Ming smiled with a 'successful plan' in his eyes and nodded: "Okay."

Li Zhenfushi also responded with a "good"

Then, Shu Xiyao jumped out: "I'll go too."

Gu Ming's face suddenly darkened: "You stay in Wucheng."

Just as he finished speaking, Thunder Hammer, who had not appeared in public for several days, said, "I want to go too."

It was even more impossible for Gu Ming to let this blinding 'Night Pearl' follow him.

"The Five Cities need someone to guard them. If you all leave, Captain Liu and his men won't be able to guard the Five Cities."

Captain Liu nodded: "The governor is right."

Gu Ming added: "If you can defend the five cities well, I will give you a promotion when you return."

Thunder Hammer agreed without thinking: "Okay."

Shu Xiyao was relentless: "I don't want to be promoted, I want to go with Xiao Nanjin. Xiao Nanjin, just let me go with you."

Everyone: “…”

[Xiao Xiyao is really unbearable when he acts like a spoiled child. Okay, I've decided. I'm going to take him with me.]

However, before she could finish her words, Gu Ming was one step ahead of her and said to Lei Dian Chui using telepathy, "Keep an eye on Shu Xiyao and don't let him follow. I will promote you another half-rank."

Lei Dian Chui grabbed Shu Xiyao by the collar and said, "You stay and guard the five cities with me."

Shu Xiyao wanted to resist, but the thunder hammer silenced his voice and immobilized his body.

He could only watch Gu Ming and Mu Nanjin leave.

"that……"

Wu Yuan said embarrassedly: "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

Captain Liu said meaningfully: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wu Yuan coughed uncomfortably: "It's not hard."

"With so many things, do you want us to help you carry them back?"

"No."

Wu Yuan felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he quickly used Qinggong to leave.

Li Zhenfu asked: "Hasn't the governor already gone to capture the royal family of David? Why did Mu Nanjin want Wu Yuan to take the property of David?"

"The governor has to hand over the property to the national treasury, but once the property falls into Wu Yuan's hands, it will be Mu Nanjin's private property and does not need to be handed over."

Li Zhenfu was stunned: "What about the emperor's explanation?"

"The Emperor must have known about this, and he will turn a blind eye to it."

Li Zhenfushi: "..."

Are the Emperor and the Governor too indulgent towards Mu Nanjin? (End of this chapter)
