Chapter 157 The real King of Nanling!

After a moment's silence, Xu Yanyi tidied the bed and then lay down on it. However, she had an injury on her shoulder and the bed was made of wood. She tossed and turned but could not fall asleep even if she was extremely tired.

Not knowing how long she had slept, Xu Yanyi finally felt groggy, but then she heard rustling footsteps outside.

Xu Yanyi slept lightly, not to mention being in this inn in the wilderness, she suddenly closed her eyes.

There is a figure outside the door.

Xu Yanyi stood up quickly and opened the door suddenly, only to see Mu Nanzhou picking up a person and throwing him to the ground with one foot on the person's shoulder, while the other two were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Good fellow.

Isn't the one being stepped on the shopkeeper? Those two kneeling ones are the waiters, right?

"What happened?"

Xu Yanyi walked out.

Mu Nanzhou said coldly: "You sleep like a pig. Be careful or someone might tie you up in the middle of the night without you even noticing."

Amount...

Xu Yanyi took a quick look and responded: "Is this a shady shop?"

"What else? I am free and I am here to help you catch people by staying up late at night?"

Mu Nanzhou hooked the shopkeeper's belt with his foot, tied up the shopkeeper's hands, and Xu Yanyi stepped forward and knocked the two waiters unconscious with two consecutive palms.

"Sir, sir, young lady, young lady, spare my life! I was blind and did not recognize the great man! I was wrong, so wrong!"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Mu Nanzhou to be so awesome. Even Xu Yanyi knew Kung Fu. This time he really lost both his wife and his army.

Mu Nanzhou pulled the shopkeeper up and kicked him into Xu Yanyi's room: "Tell me! What are you planning to do hiding here in the middle of the night!"

The shopkeeper sobbed tremblingly: "Sir, we...we didn't think much of anything. We just thought that you were dressed brightly and beautifully, and you were generous, so we just wanted to borrow some money..."

"For money and murder?"

Xu Yanyi’s concise summary.

The shopkeeper was shocked: "No, no, no, we are only after money, not life!"

"Not going to kill me? You are picking on the weak. You are hiding outside my room because you think I am a woman and easy to bully. The one who lives in the upper room is this one. Why don't you just wait for him?"

Xu Yanyi pointed at Mu Nanzhou.

The shopkeeper said aggrievedly: "I want to, but... But this young master never sleeps, the candles in the room are always on, and he asks people to come in to refill tea from time to time. I really can't find a chance. When I started, I just thought that you and him were together. Although you lived in the lower house, it didn't mean that you didn't have any money. I just... I just settled for the next best thing. Who knew that this young man would show up again... "

The corners of Xu Yanyi's mouth twitched. So it was Mu Nanzhou who didn't sleep, and she became the substitute?

Mu Nanzhou asked impatiently: "Do you know Wang Jiunian?"

Hearing this name, the shopkeeper shuddered and subconsciously avoided Mu Nanzhou's sight: "No, no, I don't know him."

Mu Nanzhou slammed the table with his palm, not knowing whether it was because the table was of poor quality or his internal strength was too strong.

Anyway, with a loud bang, the whole table broke apart, and the shopkeeper was so scared that his face turned pale.

Mu Nanzhou said: "Don't tell me you don't know me. When I came to live with you, I naturally heard that there were many thefts in your inn, but those people didn't dare to tell others for the sake of their reputation.

For example, if women come to stay here, they will inevitably be flirted with, but for the sake of face, they will not say anything. If it is a man, they will inevitably be poisoned, but for the sake of life, they will not say anything. But if you walk here often, you will get your feet wet.

This trick of yours was used many years ago by the artillery expert Wang Jiunian after he retired. That’s how he became a wanted criminal. Do you think I came here without any confidence?”

Xu Yanyi pursed her lips. It was no wonder that he had to stay in this inn even though he had to walk at night. It turned out that he came here for a purpose.

Wang Jiunian, Xu Yanyi had also heard of this man. When he was young, he was an expert in making artillery ammunition.

Even most of the artillery and ammunition of Northern Qin came from this Wang Jiunian. However, Wang Jiunian later had a quarrel with the late emperor for some unknown reason, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. Later, he was reported to have become a bandit and opened an inn to rip off passers-by.

The imperial court had been looking for him for many years, but still hadn't caught him.

What does Mu Nanzhou want to do with Wang Jiunian now?

Are you going to make artillery ammunition?

No, Mu Nanzhou already aroused envy with his 800,000-man army. If he didn't want to rebel, he wouldn't go to Wang Jiunian, which would only cause more criticism.

On second thought, Xu Yanyi came to his senses. Didn't Mu Nanzhou say that he and the young emperor had reached an agreement, that as long as he helped the young emperor accomplish something secretly, the young emperor would order him to marry Li Qiuer?

And the most important thing is how much the little emperor wants the troops left by the late emperor to his sister Xu Yanyi. So if he still has artillery and ammunition, it will be just a matter of time for the little emperor to seize power.

Xu Yanyi had already figured out Mu Nanzhou's intention in her mind without any concealment. Mu Nanzhou could hear her inner thoughts completely. He couldn't help but be shocked. This woman Xu Yanyi was too surprising now. She could deduce the whole thing from a little thing, and she was right!

It's so straightforward!

Mu Nanzhou suppressed his surprise at Xu Yanyi, stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed the shopkeeper's neck: "You won't tell me? I'll kill you!"

hiss!

This king?

The shopkeeper's eyes widened with fear, and Mu Nanzhou's hand that was pinching his neck suddenly tightened.

Xu Yanyi thought that Mu Nanzhou was really going to strangle the shopkeeper to death. At this moment, an inconspicuous hunchbacked man who looked like a groom walked in slowly. He raised his head and said, "King Nanling, why do you have to do this? Let him go."

Boom!

Mu Nanzhou threw the shopkeeper to the ground. Xu Yanyi could hear two crisp clicks and guessed that the coccyx was broken.

"Wang Jiunian, you hid very well."

Mu Nanzhou curled his lips sarcastically.

Wang Jiunian took off his grey felt hat and shaved off his beard, revealing a waxy yellow face. Xu Yanyi was startled for a moment, then she heard Wang Jiunian laughing and saying, "Princess, you don't recognize me."

Amount...

If you look carefully, you can still recognize it.

If Xu Yanyi remembered correctly, Wang Jiunian had once made a little dragon that could spit fire for the original owner to play with. His craftsmanship was indeed excellent.

Wang Jiunian looked at Mu Nanzhou again: "Master Wang, why do you have to make things difficult for others? If you want to find me, I will naturally not dare to disobey you."

Mu Nanzhou sneered: "If you really meant that, you should have come out to see me when I entered the inn, but not only did you not come, you didn't even warn these idiots. Instead, you took advantage of their tricks. Did you underestimate me or overestimate yourself?"

Wang Jiunian looked calm, with a hint of provocation between his eyebrows as he said, "I have done a lot of bad things over the years, and I have already given up. Now that I am in the hands of the prince, I know there is no way to escape. But if you want me to do something, or to be executed, only the real King of Nanling can do it! You are not worthy!"

hiss!

Xu Yanyi frowned and looked at Mu Nanzhou instinctively. What does this mean?
