Chapter 179: Out of reach
Feng Aoqing felt a little unwell today, so she didn't go to Lanfeng Pavilion and stayed at home to rest.
She sat in the snow house in the yard. An Lei asked someone to add more charcoal, which made her whole body hot.
The sound of children playing could be heard outside the courtyard gate.
"Which kid is so brave that he runs into the Feng family yard to play? Isn't Old Chen at the door?" An Lei passed by the corridor and heard it, so he ran to the outside of the yard to chase him.
Feng Aoqing smiled softly and stood up.
The snow suddenly got heavier, and she leaned against the pillar and looked at the people coming towards her in the snow.
The man was wearing a dark-colored casual suit with a royal blue base, and the sleeves and hem were decorated with gold-thread cloud patterns. An iron-colored cloak decorated with silver fox fur was only hung on his shoulders, and he walked steadily with ink-black cloud-stepping boots.
Because it was a cloak and not a snow cape, and had no hat, snow fell on his golden crown and long black hair.
Just as Mo Beiyuan was about to call out, his voice became hoarse and the name got stuck in his throat.
Feng Aoqing didn't move. Mo Beiyuan saw a black shadow falling from the roof, with the sword in his hand half unsheathed.
He landed in front of Feng Aoqing.
Mo Beiyuan was shocked. Thinking that he was about to see Feng Aoqing, he was so anxious that he didn't even hear anyone on the roof.
He thought it was Han Lang, but it turned out not to be him.
Just now I just thought that his lightness skills were amazing, but when I took another look, I found that this man was only wearing a thin padded jacket in the heavy snow. It turns out that his internal strength is also amazing!
Mo Beiyuan stretched out his hands and grabbed the two children who had just climbed down from Yu Tiannan and were rushing towards Feng Aoqing.
"Yue Jiu." Feng Aoqing called out, and Yue Jiu put the half-drawn sword back into the scabbard.
"mother!"
Mo Beiyuan then let go, and the two children ran towards Feng Aoqing.
Feng Aoqing hugged them on the left and right.
Yue Jiu looked sideways at Feng Aoqing and retreated to the corridor.
"Mom! Is this our home?" they both asked at the same time.
"Yes! Let Uncle Shitou take you to see it. The back garden is so beautiful." Feng Aoqing smiled and patted their backs.
The two of them were dressed so roundly that they looked like two little balls. After not seeing them for a while, Xingbao had grown to be as tall as Yuebao.
"Okay!" The two of them responded and climbed onto An Lei's body.
It seems that the child does not feel the reunion after a long separation.
Mo Beiyuan knew that she had visited the child, who had new toys, candy wrappers, and lollipop sticks. Who else could have given these to her except Feng Aoqing?
However, she didn't meet any members of the Mo family other than the child, probably because she didn't want him to know!
When there were only two people left in the yard, Mo Beiyuan walked forward. Seeing Feng Aoqing again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
"Ao Qing." This call seemed to have used up all his strength, and he could not utter a second sentence.
"Your Highness." Feng Aoqing smiled faintly, turned around and walked back to the pavilion.
Mo Beiyuan followed and sat opposite her.
"How are you...doing?" He thought for a long time before asking this question.
"fine."
"You...why are you here...I searched all over Zhaojing and thought you were gone...I didn't expect you to be here."
"Your Highness, are you here to send Xingbao and Yuebao? If you don't come to send them, I will also go to pick them up."
"I......"
"Or maybe the prince needs me somewhere, but I heard someone has replaced me!"
Mo Beiyuan had thought about how she would look at him and how she would think about him, but when he heard her words, his heart still shrank in pain.
"I just came to see you."
"If the emperor needs my help, just ask. You don't have to make such a troublesome trip." Feng Aoqing coughed lightly.
"Are you sick?" No wonder she let go of the children so quickly. She was afraid of passing her illness on to them.
"It's okay, it won't affect our work. Your Highness, please." Feng Aoqing was as distant as a stranger.
But he said nothing, and followed her across the corridor into the study.
Feng Aoqing closed the door of the study.
Mo Beiyuan didn't know what she was going to do, and his heart was in a daze.
She walked to the desk, pressed a button, and opened the secret room behind the bookshelf.
Not knowing what she had hidden to show him, Mo Beiyuan suddenly remembered the time when he accompanied her to collect things from the cave. It was that joyful look on her face that made his heart beat fast.
"Do you still need a secret room?" He couldn't help laughing.
"It's just to facilitate conversation." Feng Aoqing turned around and smiled, showing the secret room to Mo Beiyuan.
It turned out that there were only tables and chairs inside, not a single piece of paper.
"This is a solid stone room where I moved in. No matter how close you are to someone talking in here, even if you're right next to the door, you can't hear them," Feng Aoqing introduced.
"No one should be able to get close to me, Yue Jiu, is that your name? Your martial arts and internal strength are better than mine." Mo Beiyuan said with a smile.
"Oh, so his martial arts skills are so high! I have never been able to use them. It would be a waste of his talent to keep him by my side." Feng Aoqing only knew that he was good at martial arts, but didn't know that he was this good.
"What do you want to tell me?" Mo Beiyuan asked.
Since the secret room is only used for conversation, there must be something to say.
He was distracted and saw several booklets on the table.
"I know why you're here. This is all the information about nickel sulfide ore. I've given the specific work to Su Hongyu. You can find someone to clean up the place at any time. He will hand over all the craftsmen and workers to you intact, without missing a single one."
"I've never made a dagger. The sharpest I've ever made is a knife that can be held in one hand. Don't worry, I won't go against him. I treat him like my own brother."
Seeing that Mo Beiyuan didn't say anything, he continued, "I just tested it for him first. I'll make weapons for him once there are no problems. Now is the right time, Your Majesty. I'm not bragging, but Ji Xia is already far behind."
At this moment, there was light in Feng Aoqing's eyes.
"Also, if you're worried, you can take all of my assets, except for those used to ensure the safety of the people of Hantian City. Just leave this house to me. I really like it here."
There was another stack of booklets on the table, which contained her property information.
Mo Beiyuan was stunned.
"If there's really no room for me in Zhaojing, I'll just leave. I haven't seen all of Kyushu yet, and I want to go see more."
Mo Beiyuan couldn't even get a word in.
"If you don't want me to live, then just come. Since I dared to let others know about Frost Sky City, I'm not afraid of you coming to kill me."
Mo Beiyuan's eyes turned red: "Give it all to me, then all your work this year will be in vain, right?"
"What does it matter? Just treat it as an interesting dream!" Feng Aoqing looked indifferent.
"So, you think I was sent by the Emperor. I came here to obtain your mines, your jewelry-making techniques, and your industry. Moreover, we are afraid of your ability to build a city in a year. We are afraid that you will threaten him."
"Isn't it?" She had received Mo Beiyuan's letter to Yanguang early in the morning, and had already started preparing these things, just waiting for him to come and give them to him.
"Could it be that I just can't do this for you?" Mo Beiyuan snatched her hand away.
"Your Highness, this trick is no longer useful on me. I know I am useful, but I will not be used by anyone." Feng Aoqing smiled and pulled back her hand.
