Chapter 397 Reward: One Million Pounds of Gold
Hearing this, Mo Qiao's back stiffened noticeably. Her face turned pale, she clenched her teeth tightly, and her eyes were full of confusion.
She was the one who chose to come to the border, but if people knew that she was pregnant, she would no longer be able to stay in the barracks.
She didn't even dare to mention that name.
Guilt grew in her heart. She didn't want to feel this way, but she hadn't seen An Yunqing for such a long time. She had been through life and death with Jiang Xu so many times that even a heart of stone would be shaken.
Just two months ago, she accidentally drank too much and was confused for a moment, so she agreed to Jiang Xu's proposal
. The fact had already existed, and the big mistake had been made. She knew that she had no face to see An Yunqing again.
So, she agreed to Jiang Xu's proposal and chose to marry him not long ago.
However, now that she was pregnant, once the news got out, she had to take off her armor and go back to take care of her husband and children. When she left the capital, all her bold words seemed like a joke at this moment.
Is this her future?
Mo Qiao lowered his eyes slightly, suppressed the irritation in his heart and said: "Don't tell anyone that I'm pregnant!"
"But..."
Jiang Xu was a little worried.
Although An Guohou has sent troops to station in Mobei recently, there will be no war in the short term, but we still have to be prepared.
What if a fight is needed, and Mo Qiao ignores her body and the baby in her belly and gets injured!
Jiang Xu's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to force Mo Qiao to do anything: "Okay, if you are unwell, you must tell me, you can't bear it alone."
In the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Ying Feng has been very busy recently.
After dealing with several assassins who were short-sighted and dared to come to the palace to seek death, he learned a piece of news that he found very interesting after interrogation.
That night, Yingfeng reported the matter to Lingfengyan.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
The candlelight in the study was dim. After dealing with a pile of memorials, Lingfengyan looked through an invitation made of pure gold that was sent from the Southern Qi Kingdom not long ago.
The invitation was stamped with the seal of the Emperor of Southern Qi. The golden and luxurious shape was exquisite and incomparable. It was obvious that a lot of thought was put into it.
The handwriting on the invitation was very neat, and at the top there was a big "囍" character made of pure gold.
Baili Yunhe is getting married?
Lingfengyan's lips curled up, and his phoenix eyes were unprecedentedly soft and blessed.
He was in a good mood. He put the invitation back in place and looked up at Ying Feng who was kneeling on one knee below.
"What's the matter?"
Ying Feng immediately lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, the assassins who have come to the palace recently are of much higher quality than those before."
Ling Fengxun was not very interested in this.
Because assassinations happen every few days, he is used to it.
It's just that they have been more frequent recently, that's all. After all,
the defenses here in the palace don't seem to be as strict as those in the imperial palace, so many stubborn people are planning to come and give it a try. However, they don't know that Ling Fengxun has left all of his most powerful shadow guards in the palace.
Each of them is a master who can fight one against a hundred. These guards who have been trained since childhood are no match for those wild ones outside.
"Oh?"
He just asked symbolically: "What's wrong, what did you find?"
Yingfeng reported: "I noticed something unusual, so I caught a few people and tortured them severely, and finally got some information from them, please take a look!"
Then, Yingfeng took out a booklet from his arms.
The booklet was respectfully placed in front of Lingfengxun, Lingfengxun raised his hand to open it, and then saw a few big words written on it.
Thousand Killings Tower Bounty Order.
These big words are quite eye-catching, especially the name at the top of the list.
Lingfengxun, the bounty on your head is 100,000 taels of gold.
Lingfengxun's brows wrinkled for a moment.
Feeling that his prince was somewhat unhappy, Yingfeng was afraid that the prince would be angry, so he immediately said in an angry tone: "This Qianshalou is too abominable, and dared to put a bounty on the prince!"
Lingfeng shook his head: "My head is worth only this little gold?"
Yingfeng: "?"
He raised his head with a confused look on his face and glanced at his prince.
What is the prince talking about? That's 100,000 taels of gold!
If calculated based on one or two catties of silver, it is equivalent to one million taels of silver! Enough for a person to be rich and noble for several lifetimes, and never worry about food and drink.
Ling Fengxun sneered, with a look of disdain: "Such a large killer organization can only take out such a small amount of gold, unlucky." Ling
Fengxun rejected the bounty of Qianshalou.
Yingfeng was speechless.
"Prince, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Ling Fengxun raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of mockery.
"The entire Beiling Kingdom now belongs to me, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Yingfeng was dumb and couldn't answer at all.
Prince, are you not pretending?
Ling Fengxun's eyes passed over his bounty and continued to look down.
The second name is Bailiqin.
The bounty is 80,000 taels of gold.
Ling Fengxun suddenly felt a little better.
After all, the head of the Emperor of Nanqi is not as valuable as him.
The third one is the little emperor of Beiling, Ling Changyue, and the bounty is also 80,000 taels of gold.
When he saw this, Ling Fengxun fell into deep thought, touched his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Yingfeng seemed to see through his own prince's mind.
"Prince, he is still the emperor after all, we can't..."
Ling Fengxun heard this and then gathered his thoughts: "This prince is just thinking about it."
He was indeed a little tempted. The little emperor's head was so valuable. It would not be a loss if he exchanged it for gold. But later he thought that it would be too troublesome to support another one after the exchange. So he put his mind back.
However, the name of the fourth place made Ling Fengxun's eyes suddenly become extremely cold, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
Because it was clearly written on it, the two names of Ling Fengxun's children, Ling Xiangru and Ling Buyu!
He didn't even look at how much silver was hanging behind it. His eyes had become as deep as the sea, and there seemed to be countless undercurrents surging in his eyes.
The dark blue eyes were extremely dark at this moment, and the veins on Ling Fengxun's hand that was holding the booklet were exposed, and his face no longer had the playful expression it had before.
"Yingfeng."
All the muscles in Yingfeng's body were tense at this moment, and he immediately bowed to salute.
"Your Highness!"
Ling Fengxun's tone was extremely cold, like ten thousand years of ice: "Who issued this bounty? Have you found out?"
Yingfeng immediately replied: "It should be Madam Xu of the Southern Qi Kingdom. Although I only guessed it through the information I got from the interrogation of those killers, it's almost right."
"Madam Xu,"
Ling Fengxun stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
The murderous aura in his body was quietly released. He spoke calmly and suddenly opened his thin lips: "Pass on my order and announce to the world that whoever brings Madam Xu's head to me will be rewarded with one million taels of gold."
