Chapter 446 He and her can't even be friends
Beixiang.
Mobei Palace.
A mobile archery target was set up in the back garden.
A man in a purple robe with gold embroidery, holding a bow and arrow, stood a hundred steps away, and every arrow hit the bull's eye.
Not far away, in a pavilion overlooking the lake, several beautiful women with different looks and charm were sitting around a table, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
Until the gray-clad guards came running over.
"Your Highness, I have something urgent to report!" Feiyun ran to the man, his breathing slightly disordered and his face tense.
Wen Renjing handed the bow and arrow to the butler waiting beside him, took the wet towel and wiped his hands, then said, "Let's go to the study."
"yes!"
After the master and servant left, the harmony in the pavilion disappeared in an instant.
A beautiful woman was so angry that she threw the grapes she was twisting back onto the fruit plate. "Every time Feiyun comes to report, it's bad news! The prince is busy traveling all year round and spends very little time in the mansion! Why won't he just be quiet?"
The other dignified woman glanced at her and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Highness is a man, and it's natural for a man to be concerned about the affairs of state. Do you mean that you want Your Highness to put aside his official duties and stay in the backyard all day to play with you so that you can be happy?"
"Sister, what you said is not pleasant to hear. What do you mean by nonsense? Aren't you happy that the prince has returned?"
"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that!"
Tensions immediately mounted between the two.
The other beautiful women then pretended to smooth things over. "Princess, Fourth Aunt, why bother arguing over such a trivial matter? As a man, it's natural for the prince to be concerned about state affairs. We are all close to the prince, so it's not wrong for us to think about him all the time. Come on, eat some grapes and continue chatting..."
"snort!"
study.
Feiyun couldn't wait for his master to sit down before reporting hurriedly, "Your Highness, I just received the latest news from over there. Something has happened! Chu Tianxing has been murdered! The Queen of Xiling has discovered the secret of the mausoleum, and those soul soldiers who were prepared but not yet transported here, a total of 320 people, have all disappeared!"
Wen Renjing's butt had just touched the chair when he heard the words and suddenly stood up, pushing the table. The handsome man who was used to keeping a calm face couldn't help but twist his face, "Who did it?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me! We were unable to find out! The enemy was incredibly cunning, leaving no loopholes! The only clue they left behind was... all of us who died at their hands were slain with a single sword strike!"
Then Feiyun told the details in detail, not daring to hide anything.
Wenren Jing gritted his teeth and suppressed his surging emotions for a long time before slowly sitting back down. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I considered myself the oriole, but I never expected that I was actually the cicada in the eyes of others.
He knew exactly where we made the soul soldiers and where Chu Tianxing was hiding. After killing him, he was able to take all the soul soldiers away. It seems that person has been keeping an eye on us for a long time.
The other party had been lying in wait without making any moves, just waiting for the soul soldiers to be prepared so that he could reap the benefits!
Because Su Jiuni and her team intervened, the other party was forced to advance their plan.
If it weren't for this strange coincidence, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark until the very last moment!"
Good, good trick!
Feiyun knew that his master was on the verge of a rage at the moment, but since things had developed to this point, the most important thing to do was to think of a countermeasure.
He continued, "Your Highness, the Queen immediately imposed martial law upon learning of this incident. Furthermore, we are the only ones who know how to activate the Soul Soldiers. Without them, it would be extremely difficult to remove them. Therefore, I suspect the person behind this is still trapped within Xiling. If we can find the Soul Soldiers before the Queen does, we can still recover. Otherwise, we'd be making things difficult for others!"
Wenren Jing didn't speak immediately.
His eyelids drooped, his gaze fixed on the table, unfocused.
After a long while, he finally raised his eyes, his eyes dark. "Go down and prepare. We'll leave for Xiling in an hour."
Feiyun was excited, "Yes!"
After receiving the order, he went down to make preparations without delay.
At the beginning, the master ordered a team of more than a thousand soul soldiers, and when it seemed that the mission was about to be accomplished, he did not expect that someone would intercept him halfway.
Three hundred and twenty soul soldiers! That's already half of what the master has!
Adding in the manpower, material resources and financial resources spent on producing soul soldiers, their losses are incalculable!
Once he finds the person behind this, he will tear him into pieces!
Wenren Jing sat behind the desk, his hands on his knees clenching and unclenching repeatedly. His solemn expression showed hidden rage, mixed with some subtle emotions that were difficult to distinguish.
Feng Lin already knew about this, so it was not difficult to guess that he was the one who moved the Xiling Imperial Mausoleum.
She must be extremely angry now. Given her temper, she probably wants to kill him immediately.
"You and I can't even be friends anymore."
"Or maybe in your heart, you never actually considered me a friend."
He lowered his eyes, lost in thought for a moment, a self-deprecating smile playing on the corner of his mouth.
They each serve a different master and have different positions, so it is impossible for them to become friends.
For all these years, he has always had a little delusion in his mind and has been deceiving himself.
Wen Renjing set out for Xiling that day. At the same time, envoys from various countries in Dongpu frequently came to force him, using both soft and hard tactics, making the situation increasingly chaotic.
The atmosphere and situation between countries are becoming increasingly tense, and it only takes a fuse to completely ignite the situation.
In November, chaos once again broke out in the small border town at the junction of Lingjiang and Dai Viet.
On the second floor of a restaurant facing the main street, an elderly woman with gray hair leaned over a window and peered out the street. "Is that over there? Ouch! There are so many people chasing us! Can your poisonous grandpa get away?"
The three Su brothers, along with Xiao Maisui and Bing'er, huddled beside her, watching the old man jumping like a grasshopper in the crowd on the other side of the street, and burst into laughter. "Don't worry, don't worry. I can't say anything about Grandpa Du's other abilities, but when it comes to escaping, he's second to none, hahaha!"
"What a child! We can only stay here for half a day at most, but he can't keep quiet even with such a short time. He insists on sneaking into the official's backyard!" The old lady scolded, her eyes full of gossip, just as curious as the children's. "Do you know what he stole this time?"
"He stole the official seal! Otherwise, why would so many soldiers come out to chase him? I see that all the idle soldiers in the whole town have been dispatched!"
The old woman: "..."
"If an official loses his seal, he will be beheaded! How can people not chase him to death?" Oh my god, he dares to try anything, it makes people worried!
Bai Yu slowly poked his head out from behind, glanced outside, and couldn't help laughing. "The old man is playful and deliberately trying to evade the pursuers for fun. When he gets tired of dancing, he'll return the official seal."
Although the old man in their family is unreliable, he never does anything to take people's lives.
However, rumors spread outside, and eventually the old man became a villain that everyone hated.
