"I left the valley with the last secret technique my grandmother passed down to me. If I want to save them, I can only find Fu Yao."
Having said this, she looked at Nangong Yun who had been silent.
"Zijin, shall we work together?"
"cooperate?"
Nangong Yun repeatedly looked at Fu Manxing's eyes, which were sparkling under the light of the fire.
"Yes, I am going to the capital to find Fu Yao. How about I help you ascend the throne, and you help me enter the capital to see Fu Yao?"
"How can you help me?"
He looked at the arrogant Fu Manxing, without showing any disbelief, but just asked calmly.
"I am also a member of the Fu Clan, and my spiritual power is now higher than Fu Yao's. When the time comes, I will destroy Fu Yao's spiritual power and appear as a new saint. I will tell the world that God has guided me that you should be the emperor."
After listening, he asked the question that bothered him the most.
"These are all easy to say. The most important thing now is that my mother is imprisoned in the palace by Nangong Qi. I can't find her location. Can you help me find her? As long as the location is determined, I can send someone to rescue my mother."
He has been under Nangong Qi's control all these years because his mother is in Nangong Qi's hands.
"Do you have any of her personal belongings?"
After hearing this, Fu Manxing's favorable impression of Nangong Qi plummeted.
"Is a hairpin okay?"
"Okay, once we get to the palace, I'll find a chance to use my spiritual power to find out the location. But we have to move quickly, otherwise we'll be easily noticed before we take care of Fu Yao."
"Um."
In this way, the two became allies under the witness of bonfire and grilled fish.
"By the way, why are the people chasing you from the Nanman Kingdom? Are the Nanman wizards who appeared recently from the Floating Tribe?"
Fu Manxing thought for a long time before giving an explanation.
"No one except the Saint is allowed to leave the valley. That wizard must be my grandmother's junior sister. She was so determined to leave that she was willing to endure the backlash. Now she must have sensed the situation in the valley and is here to seek revenge."
"I have a different opinion."
After hearing this, Nangong Yun quickly sorted out the information he had obtained and came up with another idea.
"Um?"
Fu Manxing looked at Nangong Yun in confusion.
"That wizard appeared in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom a few years ago. Because of his mysterious wizard skills, he was directly appointed as the National Master of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. A year ago, he became active on the battlefield, causing the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty to begin to retreat. A few months ago, Nangong Qi went to the front line for the first time, hoping to repel the enemy, but unfortunately, he was tricked by the wizard instead."
"Didn't Fu Yao want to save Nangong Qi? Now it seems that this was a trap set by that wizard."
Fu Manxing was shocked after hearing this. In her childhood memory, Grandma Fu was also very kind. In fact, every time her grandmother recalled the past, she would sigh about the good times.
Now she was told that Grandma Fu was the culprit behind everything, which was as shocking as the first time she knew that it was Fu Yao who harmed them.
"If that's the case, I won't let either of them go."
Anyone who harmed her relatives was her enemy, even if they knew each other.
"Zijin, if you regret it now, I have no objection."
She looked at Nangong Yun across the campfire, her tone calm.
"I won't regret it."
His years of dormancy do not mean that he has no ability to resist.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
The next day, the two arrived in the capital in the afternoon.
Fu Manxing looked at the more luxurious streets and shops, observing them very carefully.
Nangong Yun looked at Fu Manxing's curious eyes, weighed the purse in his hand, and decided to take Fu Manxing to buy some snacks first.
"Manxing, do you want to eat this? I'll treat you."
"OK!"
Fu Manxing, who grew up in a village where people helped each other, didn't know how to refuse and agreed happily.
After buying a lot of snacks along the street, the two went into a cloth shop.
Fu Manxing looked at the fine silk in the shop and the exquisitely crafted skirts hanging on the racks, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
There is no young girl who doesn't like beautiful clothes, and she is no exception. It's just that the clothes in her tribe are very ordinary, and after she came out, she still wore very ordinary clothes to make it easier to travel.
Nangong Yun noticed Fu Manxing's gaze, pursed his lips and took him to the third floor without saying a word.
Entering from a secret door on the third floor, the two came to the interior of the cloth shop.
This is a manor with a beautiful environment.
"You own this cloth shop?"
Fu Manxing exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Nangong Yun who seemed to be strolling in his own backyard.
"Yes, you will stay here for now. I will take you to the palace for the state banquet next month. Now, go inside with the maid to wash up and rest. I will come to discuss the specific plan with you later."
"good."
Fu Manxing didn't feel too bothered when she saw Nangong Yun leading her to a quaint courtyard and leaving.
She refused the maid's service and soaked comfortably in the bathtub for a while. When she went to the changing area, she looked at the skirt that was several times more gorgeous than the one she had just seen on the first floor, and her eyes flashed with amazement.
This light blue skirt is very beautiful. The fabric is high-quality satin and brocade. The workmanship is very fine, and the embroidery is cleverly designed and looks lifelike.
She looked at the skirts, linings, shoes, and jewelry hanging in order, and her liking for Nangong Yun increased a little more.
She didn't expect Nangong Yun to be so considerate and have everything prepared.
The style of the skirt was relatively simple. After putting it on, she looked at the exquisite hair accessories on the table, and finally used her own wooden hairpin to simply tie up her long hair.
Having nothing to do in the room, she picked up a book from the bookshelf and sat by the window to read carefully.
When Nangong Yun and his subordinates finished their instructions and returned to the yard, they saw this picture of peaceful and tranquil life.
The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the branches in front of the window and quietly fell into the slightly opened window, shining on Fu Manxing's body. The fine down on her fair skin looked like it was covered with a faint halo from a distance, outlining the soft and three-dimensional profile of Fu Manxing.
She blinked her thick, long, black eyelashes, lowered her eyes and looked intently at the book in her hands. She had a thin nose, light lips, and a light blue dress. She was so beautiful that she glowed in the sunset.
"Full stars."
He stood at the door and watched for a long time before he made the sound to go in.
"You're here."
Fu Manxing heard the sound, closed the book and looked towards the door.
Looking at Nangong Yun, who had also washed and looked handsome, she raised her hand and poured him a cup of tea.
Nangong Yun was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and the red headband on his head added a bit of color to his cold temperament.
"I have a plan. In a month, there will be a Lantern Festival at the Imperial Palace, and Nangong Qi will be hosting it. The Saint will also be there that day, but she won't be staying long. You can follow me into the palace as a maid, and when the Saint leaves, you can catch up. You can tell me the Queen Mother's news and where she is, and I'll handle the rest. How about this plan?"
Nangong Yun took a sip of tea and spoke.
After hearing this, Fu Manxing shook his head and rejected this plan.
"No, time is too tight. I'll help you rescue your mother that day, and you can bring me to the palace later. Those who want to kill me can't possibly cause trouble in the palace. And even if they do, I won't mind exposing my spiritual power even if I kill Fu Yao."
"Just as you say."
After listening to this, Nangong Yun agreed with Fu Manxing's suggestion.
