Chapter 182 Secret Letter from Shengjing City
Xu Mubai looked at her somewhat surprised eyes and curled the corners of his lips.
"Princess, my real name is Mu Bai, which may be my mother's surname."
Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows. "So, the name Xu Mubai was used to conceal your identity and deceive this princess."
Xu Mubai: ...
His expression instantly became nervous, "Princess, I never meant that."
Su Yunyao nodded thoughtfully, "It doesn't matter what your surname is. You won't have a throne for your children to inherit anyway."
Xu Mubai: ...
He was completely speechless!
But then again.
It seems that what the princess said makes sense.
From the day he escaped from Dong Liao, he never thought that the throne of Dong Liao would have anything to do with him.
If there really is a connection, it must be that Eastern Liao was destroyed and he rebuilt Eastern Liao.
Su Yunyao yawned lazily.
"Okay, take your time drawing. I'm tired and need to go back to sleep."
She said as she walked out.
When she reached the door, Su Yunyao suddenly stopped.
"By the way, I'm going on a long trip in a couple of days. You and Lu Mingfeng will stay at the mansion. Be good, please!"
Xu Mubai's eyebrows trembled when he heard this, "Where are you going, Princess?"
Su Yunyao smiled and turned to leave.
Three days later.
Huo Xiao received a secret letter from Shengjing City at Dongling Pass.
The secret letter said that an important person would come to Dongling Pass in seven days, and he must prepare in advance and receive the person well, but it did not say who was coming to Dongling Pass.
Wan Lingchuan, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "General, what's wrong?"
Huo Xiao frowned and shook his head, "Give orders to the prefect of Dongling City to prepare the inn. Someone from Shengjing City is coming."
"Shenyang City? Who is coming?" Wan Lingchuan took the emperor's handwritten letter in confusion and read it carefully again and again.
"Among the ministers in the court, the one who can get the emperor to write a letter personally, could it be Shen Qiu Nian? Lord Shen is coming over?"
Huo Xiao did not respond.
It seems that in the entire court, only Shen Qiu Nian enjoys the emperor's trust.
When Xijing was destroyed before, he went to the scene in person.
At this moment, Wan Lingchuan could no longer think of anyone else.
"I heard that since Lin Miaomiao entered the Dali Temple, Shen Qiu Nian has been rejected many times for seeking an audience. Why would the emperor send him to Dong Liao at this time?"
Fu Chenfeng's expression was not good either. "Everything is stable in Dongling Pass now. Didn't the emperor just agree to the marriage between the Third Prince of Dong Liao and the Princess..."
Before he could finish his words, Wan Lingchuan pulled his elbow hard.
Fu Chenfeng looked at him angrily, moved his lips, and was about to question him, but suddenly remembered something and quickly closed his mouth.
He frowned and glanced at Wan Lingchuan, his eyes full of panic, and muttered softly, "Why didn't you stop me?"
Wan Lingchuan glared at him and asked in a low voice, "Can I stop him?"
Fu Chenfeng did not continue to argue with him about this matter, but just raised his eyes and looked at Huo Xiao cautiously.
"General, do you have any other instructions?"
Huo Xiao stared at the emperor's handwriting, his eyes dim and unclear, and slowly shook his head, "You guys go down first."
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
"Ninth Princess, please don't embarrass me. General Huo has already said that you cannot be allowed in without his permission. Please go back."
Mu Wan's eyes turned cold. "You are so brave! A mere guard dares to stand in my way. Believe it or not, I will have you dragged down and chopped off right now!"
The guard clasped his hands together and bowed his body, always maintaining a salute.
"Princess Nine, please forgive me. The military camp has its own rules. I am General Huo's soldier, so I must obey his orders."
"Heh." Mu Wan sneered, "General Huo? Do you know that in the near future, after my royal brother marries your eldest princess, Daxia and Dongliao will become one family. Then I will not only be the princess of Dongliao, but also of Daxia. I am the monarch and you are the subject. You should obey my orders."
After Mu Wan finished speaking, she reached out to push his arm away and walked directly towards Huo Xiao's tiger tent.
The moment the guard reacted, he stepped in front of her, blocking her way with his sword in hand.
"I, the Ninth Princess, am ignorant and didn't understand what she was saying, but I did understand another part of her message: that is, only after the marriage between the prince of Dong Liao and our eldest princess will Dong Liao and Da Xia become one. As long as the marriage is not completed, the Ninth Princess will still be the Ninth Princess of Dong Liao."
Mu Wan listened to his words, her brow furrowed. "Are you implying that I'm not worthy of a mere guard like you to obey my orders?"
"The Ninth Princess's body is worth a fortune, so why bother with me? If you truly wish to enter, please be patient. I will go in and pass the message on. As long as General Huo agrees, I will not dare to stop you. If General Huo disagrees, military orders are as firm as a mountain. If you insist on entering, you can step over my corpse!"
Looking at the guard's determined expression, Mu Wan's entire body trembled with anger.
She was so angry that she lost her mind and didn't care about her dignity as a princess. She stood outside the tiger tent and shouted, "Huo Xiao, is this how you teach your subordinates?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao lifted the door curtain and walked out.
When he saw Mu Wan, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to turn around and go in, Mu Wan quickly ran behind him and grabbed his sleeve.
The guards wanted to stop her, but it was obviously too late.
"Huo Xiao, do you hate me that much? Why are you avoiding me like this?"
Huo Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Ninth Princess, I have said everything I should have said last time, and I have explained everything I should have explained. Please respect yourself, Ninth Princess!"
"Huo Xiao, my royal brother has already set off and will marry your eldest princess in seven days. Do you really not mind at all?" Mu Wan sneered.
"In that case, the Ninth Princess should return to the Eastern Liao Imperial Court and wait for good things to come. Why is she running to the Great Xia military camp?"
Mu Wan stamped her feet in anger, "Huo Xiao."
"I have important matters in the army, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
After leaving these words, Huo Xiao returned to the tent without looking back.
Wan Lingchuan and Fu Chenfeng looked at each other and said, "General, are you okay?"
Huo Xiao's entire soul seemed to have been drained out. He sat on the chair, letting himself slump there as if he had no skeleton. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and said weakly, "You guys go out first."
Fu Chenfeng looked hesitant and moved his lips to say something, but Wan Lingchuan forcibly pulled him out of the tiger tent by his arm.
As soon as he reached the door, he ran into Mu Wan, who was still standing there, furious.
The two of them bowed politely, "Ninth Princess."
Mu Wan snorted, jumped on his horse, whipped it and left.
Wan Lingchuan said angrily, "What on earth does this Ninth Princess mean?"
