Chapter 517 Two Faces
Mu Ling was suspicious: "Why is it you?"
Qin Yao smiled playfully: "It's you!"
No wonder Wang Jin said that the support could not be eliminated, it turned out to be the famous Princess's Guard.
When Wang Jin opened the door of the official residence, he saw the two people staring at each other in shock.
Wang Jin looked at Qin Yao in the second-floor window, and then at Mu Ling riding on the horse. He couldn't believe that these two most powerful women around him actually knew each other!
"General, you are finally here." Wang Jin stepped forward and saluted. When he stood up again, he felt completely relaxed.
Mu Ling withdrew his gaze from Qin Yao, lowered his head to look at Wang Jin, and nodded indifferently and distantly in response, with no intention of dismounting.
"To avoid any more trouble at night, please take your things with you, Lord Wang, and follow me immediately."
Wang Jin was surprised, "Now?"
The sky above was still dark, and there were still two hours before the city gates opened.
Although he knew the situation was urgent, there was no need to be so hasty.
Mu Ling did not intend to explain to him, and said coldly: "Give the lord half a quarter of an hour to prepare."
When Wang Jin heard this, he could only shake his still unclear mind and agreed.
"The cargo is heavy, General, please lend me two men." Wang Jin asked politely.
Mu Ling raised his eyebrows, glanced at the closed window upstairs, suddenly turned over and dismounted, motioning Wang Jin to lead the way.
Wang Jin was flattered and said hurriedly, "I dare not trouble you, General. I just need my two sisters to accompany me."
"Stop talking nonsense! Lead the way." Mu Ling rejected impatiently and walked towards the official residence.
Wang Jin understood what was going on, fearing that she was not trying to help him move things, but was going to meet another strong woman.
It was unknown who was stronger and who was weaker between the two. Wang Jin was leading the way while thinking wildly in his mind.
The two of them came to Qin Yao's door, and without waiting for Wang Jin to knock on it, Mu Ling kicked it open.
The two thin wooden doors could not bear the weight and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a grudge?
"General, you have to pay for the broken door." Qin Yao stood inside the door, holding up the candlestick and said with a smile.
The candlelight illuminated the room, and also reflected Mu Ling's smiling face.
"Lord Wang will compensate." She stepped into the room, her playful eyes swept across Qin Yao's face, and immediately turned to the conspicuous large wooden box in the room.
"Open it!" Mu Ling ordered Wang Jin. She wanted to check the contents of the box.
Wang Jin glanced at Qin Yao and said, "There are outsiders here."
He winked at Qin Yao frantically, "Get out."
Qin Yao shrugged, put down the candlestick and was about to go out when she heard Mu Ling's low voice say, "It's okay."
Qin Yao paused, and the interest that she had suppressed for the past few days suddenly arose. She wanted to see what was in the box.
Wang Jin was surprised for a moment, then decided to obey. He took out the key, decisively opened the lock on the wooden box, opened the lid, and revealed the things inside.
A few weapons and something in a smaller wooden box.
Mu Ling picked up the weapons and took a look. They were not the swords commonly used by people in the martial arts world, but the Shuo used by the army.
This thing is also considered a ceremonial object, and ceremonial officials will use it in the ceremony when the king is crowned.
Mu Ling raised a cold smile, put down the Shuo boxes that were all of the same shape and had words engraved on them, and motioned Wang Jin to open the small box inside.
Wang Jin took out the box with a serious face, placed it on the table in the guest room, unlocked it and opened it.
A touch of black came into view, with exquisite dragon scales embroidered in golden thread on it. Even if Qin Yao had never seen the dragon robe worn by the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, she could guess that the dragon scale pattern on it must be taboo.
"They actually made the dragon robe privately!" Mu Ling was shocked, and then he laughed. Her Royal Highness the Princess had one less opponent!
"Sir Wang, you have done a good job. When I return, I will report to His Highness everything that happened here." Mu Ling patted Wang Jin's arm with satisfaction, signaling him to rest assured, "His Highness will not treat you unfairly."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jin dodged her hand, bowed solemnly, and said:
"I was given the order by Your Majesty. Everything I do is for the people of Shengguo. This is what I should do."
Mu Ling slowly put away his hand that was raised in the air, his smile disappeared, and he glanced coldly at Wang Jin for a moment. Seeing that he still did not change his attitude, he completely sulked.
"Wang Jin, since you are unwilling to serve His Highness, don't come to the Princess's mansion begging pitifully next time!"
Although Mu Ling's face was cold, his anger was about to burst through his eyes. He wanted to burn to death Wang Jin, a small inspector who wanted everything.
Wang Jin said calmly, "I believe Your Highness loves the people like his own children and will not turn a blind eye to the rebellious people who are secretly trying to shake the country of Sheng. That is why I have come to the Princess's Mansion and asked Your Highness to help me."
"Now that Your Highness is willing to send a general to help, Wang Jin is extremely grateful. When we arrive in the capital, he will boldly come to thank the princess for her heart for the people."
Without waiting for Mu Ling to say anything, Wang Jin immediately said, "If the general thinks that His Highness only helped me, a small seventh-rank inspector, then I think that you, the general, have tarnished His Highness's noble character!"
Mu Ling angrily said, "Wang Jin, I am loyal to His Highness, how dare you stir up trouble!"
"I dare not." Wang Jin lowered his head and said in a submissive manner, "General, calm down."
"Good, good, good! You are a good kid!" Mu Ling nodded at Wang Jin fiercely from a distance, "I hope you can be consistent in your words and deeds, and be a good seventh-rank inspector for the rest of your life, so as to live up to His Highness' trust in you!"
Wang Jin bowed deeply towards the capital: "Wang Jin will definitely not let down your highness' trust!"
What else could Mu Ling say? The other party was unwilling and refused to take side. As a great general, was she really going to lower herself to ask him for loyalty?
There are many seventh-rank imperial censors in the capital, not to mention Wang Jin!
"You, carry the box down." Mu Ling suddenly turned to Qin Yao, pointed at the wooden box and ordered.
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Who are you talking to?
Mu Ling glared back with full confidence, "You two left this mess behind and now I have to clean up your mess. What's wrong with assigning you to do some work?"
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Thinking of the population of Liujia Village, Qin Yao forced a smile and said, "Okay, General. Yes, General."
Mu Ling hummed with satisfaction, turned his head to glance at Wang Jin, and said in a dangerous tone, "Lord Wang, why don't you go pack your things?"
Wang Jin slapped his head and said, "I'll go right away."
He gave Qin Yao another flattering smile and said, "When you are under someone's roof, you should bow your head when you should and never go against the boss."
Then he left the room and rushed quickly to his own room.
As soon as he left, Mu Ling immediately put down his airs, approached Qin Yao who was packing wooden boxes and asked curiously: "How much silver did Wang Jin give you? I will pay double as long as you come to the capital with me."
If Wang Jin was still here at this moment, and heard Mu Ling's almost coaxing tone, he would definitely ask angrily: General, why do you have two faces!
