"What are you thanking me for?" Shui Yao flicked the grapes into his mouth, took the opportunity to retract her fingers, looked lazily at the dead body on the ground and smiled seductively.
"Thank you for your medical skills!" Yue Nanchen chuckled and wrapped the soft sword back around his waist.
Although his martial arts skills have not fully recovered, they are more than enough to deal with ordinary enemies. He has made such progress in just a few days. He naturally sees Shui Yao's hard work!
"I can't help it. Whenever I meet you, I always end up losing money. In order for you to recover as soon as possible, I even used all my best skills. Tsk tsk!"
Shui Yao sighed while kicking the broken limbs under her feet. "I've been spending money these days and have no time to do business. Let me see if these people have anything valuable. This jade is good. It can be exchanged for a few taels of silver. It will pay for dinner tonight! This knife is not bad either. It can be sold as scrap metal, but this..."
Yue Nanchen stepped forward and saw that there were four big characters "Yuecheng Official Use" written on the knife!
All the knives of Yuecheng officers and soldiers are made by themselves, so these four characters are engraved on the bottom. Are these people from Yuecheng? Is there really a spy in the court?
"You are just too impatient. It would be better to leave him alive!" Shui Yao said lazily, clapped her hands and sighed.
"These people are all stubborn men, we can't get anything out of them!" Yue Nanchen whispered, and just picked up a knife and put it away.
"How do you know?" Shui Yao glanced at him indifferently.
"They fought desperately right from the start, totally disregarding their own safety. If not death warriors, what are they?" Yue Nanchen said coldly, striding out from among the corpses.
"No!" Shui Yao lazily shook her slender white jade fingers, raised her hand and threw the jade pendant to him,
If they were assassins, why would they have something like this? There might be exceptions! This is the only one among these people who has jewelry. Maybe we can trace him down based on this jade pendant!"
Yue Nanchen took the jade and smiled softly, "You don't want to sell it anymore?"
Shui Yao glanced at him lazily, "It'll be put on your account!"
"Okay!" Yue Nanchen nodded, and the two smiled at each other.
Above the roof, the cool moonlight poured down, with a few side dishes, two pots of fine wine, and a perfect couple drinking under the moon.
"Are you feeling better now?" Shui Yao leaned sideways with the wine jug hanging lazily on her slender fingers and glanced at Yue Nanchen who had a calm expression.
Yue Nanchen nodded, "You are right, Nanyue's current situation is entirely caused by me, I have an unshirkable responsibility!"
"In fact, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This war may not be a bad thing. At least it allows you to clearly see Nanyue's shortcomings. Maybe in the future, when facing a bigger crisis, Nanyue will be able to escape unscathed!"
"Yes!" Yue Nanchen nodded. These past few days, he had been practicing martial arts while thinking about how to change the current situation.
"It's getting late, go get some rest!" Shui Yao stood up lazily, "We'll be on the road early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" The two of them walked towards the east and west in tacit understanding. After making sure Shui Yao had left, Yue Nanchen slowly turned back, his eyes sparkling and the corners of his lips gently raised, but soon he regained his coldness and turned away.
"Who?" As soon as Shui Yao opened the door, she felt the strange atmosphere in the room.
"Master, it's me!" A girl's cold voice rang out, and the candlelight in the room lit up.
A beautiful blue dress, that is Shuiyao Te
It was prepared specifically for her, and when she wore it, it not only fit her perfectly, but also highlighted the girl's cool and elegant temperament.
"Lan Yi?" Shui Yao raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Lan Yi was actually such a stunning beauty. No wonder she was sold five times. It's just that her expression was too cold, so she lacked some sense of closeness.
"Yes, master!" Lan nodded. Although he lowered his eyes and brows, he still couldn't hide his unruly wildness and arrogance.
"I won't ask about your past or your background, because the past has nothing to do with me. But from now on, since you call me master and follow me, you must be loyal to me. This is the only thing I ask of you!"
Shui Yao looked slightly cold, and sat down in front of her, "Also, if you want to leave, I won't stop you. Although I bought you and we are nominally master and servant, I will never force a servant who is unwilling to follow me. Do you understand?"
Lan nodded, "Yes, Master!"
Shui Yao smiled with satisfaction, but soon she asked in confusion, "Your skin is really special. It was so badly injured, but it healed so quickly, and there is no scar left at all!"
There was a flash of blue in his eyes, as if he was evasive.
"Okay, go back and rest. We have to set off early tomorrow morning!" Shui Yao smiled faintly and waved her hand.
Lan Yi seemed to let out a sigh of relief, bowed and then left.
The backyard was full of corpses, and Lan Yi acted as if he hadn't seen anything when he went out... Shui Yao smiled faintly, she knew that Lan Yi's background must be complicated, but like she said, if Lan Yi didn't want to tell, she would never ask!
The officials must have been dealt with by the white people. The bodies were left in the yard and no one came to check. At dawn, a group of people
He stepped over the corpses, loaded the luggage onto the carriage, and drove away leisurely. No one dared to stop him.
At the Jiang Mansion, Liu Yong hurried to the study and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" the man's calm voice came out.
Liu Yong immediately pushed the door open and saw Jiang Yan painting a landscape. The landscape was majestic, the characters were wild, and it had a somewhat masterly style.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yan put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and looked up at Liu Yong.
"Master, the plan failed. All the people who went there died. Yue Nanchen's martial arts are too powerful!"
Liu Yong spoke in a low voice with a somewhat sad look on his face. He had thought this was a good job and had asked his younger brother to go as well, but he had not expected that this would be a farewell forever. He did not know how to explain to his mother when he returned home!
"Are you sure it was Yue Nanchen who did it?" Jiang Yan was shocked. He had trained those people carefully, but thirty-four of them could catch up with a hundred people. He didn't expect it to be so easy...
"Yes, someone saw it with their own eyes!" Liu Yong whispered.
"It seems we have to be prepared for both situations!" He hesitated for a moment, and immediately handed a letter of divorce to Liu Yong, "Send this to the emperor as soon as possible, saying that the situation is critical, and if it really doesn't work, then..."
Jiang Yan's eyes darkened, and Liu Yong understood what he meant. He immediately took it with both hands and walked away quickly.
I didn't want to expose my strength so quickly. After all, the giant clam cause has just been established, Jiang Cheng has not yet become the queen, and Yue Nanxuan is not a kind person. But now it seems that I have to act! However... Jiang Yan's face darkened, and suddenly he thought of someone. That person has been idle for a long time. Why not...
"Jiang Fu!" Jiang Yan called out to the butler, "Prepare the sedan chair!"
A quarter of an hour later, a red-topped sedan chair came out from the back door of Jiang's mansion.
Come out and drive straight to the suburbs.
A courtyard in the suburbs seems to have been abandoned for many years from the outside, but it has been renovated inside. The newly paved bluestone road shines with a cool glow in the winter sun.
Hearing the footsteps, the man stopped playing the piano and slowly turned his head. It turned out to be Yue Chengning, the King of Yongning, whose martial arts had been abolished!
But at this time, Yue Chengning had washed off her makeup. Although she was still dressed in gorgeous clothes, her eyes were indifferent, her temperament was calm, and her gentle and elegant taste was even more intense, making her look more like a scholar!
Seeing that it was Jiang Yan, Yue Chengning's eyebrows jumped slightly, and her eyes were full of vigilance. How could he find this place?
Yue Chengning has been living here since he was brought out by Tianwen. Tianwen has been gone for several months and he has gradually calmed down from his initial irritability.
Now he no longer has any martial arts skills, his foundation of several years has been destroyed, and his ambitions have disappeared bit by bit. Now he just wants to play the piano and enjoy the scenery. This kind of peaceful life was what he hated the most before, but now he enjoys it!
It was only Jiang Yan's sudden appearance that broke the tranquility, but he soon calmed down. In fact, being caught and taken back meant being imprisoned, and living the same life, so what was the difference?
"Don't be afraid, this Prime Minister is here to negotiate terms with you!" Jiang Yan whispered, slowly walking towards Yue Chengning.
With his eyes lowered, Yue Nanchen had made up his mind and calmed down. He stretched out his slender fingers again and plucked the strings.
"The world is full of laughter and grudges, but the romance was as beautiful as floating water..." A loud singing voice rang out, accompanied by the melodious piano music. This song has expressed Yue Chengning's mood vividly.
"The mountains and rivers are swaying, the heart is moved, the wind, flowers, snow and moon are looking at today..."
