She dreamed that she was in the endless darkness, and the voice that made her heart beat fast rang out, whispering softly and sweetly.
He said he had never seen a woman like her, dignified yet gentle, gorgeous yet lively, just like the Queen Mother of the West who had descended to the mortal world.
This dream was so beautiful and real that she could even feel the warmth of his arms and his warm breath.
But when I opened my eyes in the morning, it was all a lie.
Without him, no arms, no warmth, only a lonely pillow.
She sighed and stood up, "Someone, I want to eat!"
Being able to have a dream makes life seem warmer.
Queen Mother Yao was able to eat, and everyone in the palace was overjoyed. You know, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything for several days, and everyone thought she was about to die.
But Su Bei was very puzzled. She clearly saw Chi Yu enter Empress Dowager Yao’s bedroom, so how come she disappeared at dawn?
There was no time to investigate this issue in detail. Just when everyone was happy for Queen Mother Yao's recovery, a letter arrived via carrier pigeon.
The letter was sent from Yu'an. Before Mu Ji left, Su Bei sent him a few carrier pigeons.
The letter said that he was ambushed as soon as he returned to Yu'an. The people who ambushed him were Tangya, but there were also some people he didn't know.
This guy is really something. He didn't even write it clearly. Did he want their support or something? He just wrote this letter.
The letter arrived in the morning. During lunch, Tang Jiang reported that Mu Ji had brought more than twenty people from Yu'an to ask for a meeting.
Wasn't he ambushed? How could he come to Wu Country so quickly? Could the letter be fake? Could there be a trick? Chu Younan's face was solemn, "Let Mu Ji come in alone! Send someone to entertain those Yu'an people!"
He had made preparations for both scenarios. If Mu Ji made any unusual moves, the people of Yu'an would be held hostage. If not, Wu and Yu'an would still maintain friendly diplomatic relations.
Su Bei nodded. She meant the same thing.
Mu Ji was brought in quickly, with a smile on his face that made people feel as if there was some conspiracy.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Bei was puzzled.
"Did you receive the pigeon message?"
Su Bei nodded.
Muji was as happy as a child, "Did you really receive it? I was wondering how such a small thing could possibly deliver a letter!"
Chu Younan was simply at a loss for words. How could a Yu'an man who was engaged in the assassin business be so innocent? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed it! Mu Ji was completely unaware and smiled and said, "I heard that your people took my people to eat. Hurry up and get me something to eat. I'm almost starving to death from all the traveling!"
This speed is unmatched, it's only slightly slower than a carrier pigeon!
Su Bei quickly arranged a table of food. Mu Ji ate and drank while he told them what happened to Yu'an.
"I was ambushed on my way back. It turned out that my brother wanted to kill me because he was unwilling to lose to me! But that's strange. We Yu'an people have a rule that forbids killing our own people..."
Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say there are some people you don't know? Do they have any characteristics?"
"Features?" Mu Ji scratched his head. "I've observed them. Their hands are like yours, and their height is about the same as yours. There shouldn't be anything special about them..."
After saying that, Mu Ji suddenly stood up and stared at Chu Younan, "Is it you? Did you send someone to help Tang Ya?!"
Not only did he say this, he also reached into his arms, as if he was trying to take out some poison needle or hidden weapon.
Su Bei quickly stood up and said, "Don't be impatient! You can't judge that he is one of us just by his height!"
Of course, the world is so big and people’s heights are not much different. If there is any difference, it is probably the people of Yu’an.
Mu Ji seemed to be more willing to listen to Su Bei's words. He calmed down, thought about it, and then said, "But their clothes are similar to yours, and what they say is also..."
Thinking of this, Muji started to get angry again, and even took out the black poison needle! Su Bei quickly picked up the roast chicken and handed it to him, "Don't be anxious! Just listen to me and tell you slowly!"
The temptation of the roast chicken was too strong, and the hungry Mu Ji calmed down again. He ate the roast chicken while drinking.
Su Bei sighed, "If we wanted to kill you, we would have killed you long ago, right?"
"Hmm!" Mu Ji's mouth was full of oil.
"So the people who want to kill you are not Ukrainians. It is very likely that someone is disguised as a Ukrainian and deliberately stirs up a conflict between you and Ukrainian people."
Mu Ji was confused.
Su Bei continued to analyze: "Aren't the people in the north supporting Tang Ya? It could be that they did it!"
Mu Ji suddenly slapped his thigh, and an oily handprint appeared on his robe, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
Because you remember to eat...
Chu Younan and Su Bei exchanged glances, and it seemed that they had the same idea.
But it was not easy to say this directly, so Su Bei continued: "So how is Yu An doing now?"
"There were dozens of people supporting me at the beginning, and there were also dozens of people supporting him, but after this battle, there are only twenty or so people left on my side..." Mu Ji said, lowering his head, very sad.
Su Bei didn't know how to comfort him and remained silent for a long time.
But Muji soon became happy again, took a bite of the chicken leg, and said with great joy: "But his side is even worse! There are only a dozen people left!"
Chu Younan was shocked: "So, there are only these thirty or forty people left in the entire Yu'an?!"
Mu Ji shook his head. "No, no, no, most of the dozen people on his side are northerners disguised as Wu people!"
Even without any solid evidence, he had already determined that they were people from the North.
It seems that the little Yu'an country is about to be destroyed.
Chu Younan didn't say anything else, but seemed to be thinking about something.
After eating and drinking, Mu Ji went to rest, but Chu Younan and Su Bei had no mood to take a nap.
It was scorching hot in the summer and an ice bucket didn't help much. The two of them were already worried, and now they became even more anxious.
Chu Younan paced back and forth on the ground, while Su Bei fanned himself. After a long while, they both said in unison: "Give him a piece of land!"
It's true, after being together for a long time, the tacit understanding between the two has been cultivated very well! Chu Younan stopped and Su Bei pursed his lips, "Give him a piece of land in Wu Country, call it New Yu'an, let the Yu'an people live there and become a part of Wu Country!"
"Let them intermarry with the Wu people, so that they won't have disabled children and they can be used by Wu!" Chu Younan thought more deeply.
All in all, the two people have the same idea.
I just don't know if Mu Ji will agree.
The next day, the two met Mu Ji again.
Su Bei tried it out first, "So what are you going to do in the future?"
"Take the men and fight back to Yu'an! We are Yu'an people in life and Yu'an ghosts in death. We want to die in Yu'an!" Mu Ji said indignantly.
This is a bit difficult.
Su Bei said cautiously: "But this time when we go back, the North may send more people to ambush you. What if the whole army is wiped out?"
Mu Ji's words left Su Bei dumbfounded: "Let's live together! Let's die together!"
