Chapter 20 A Small Kidnapping



New Year's Eve will arrive soon.

Before Murong Jin went to the palace to attend the banquet, she received something from Da Cheng.

Looking at the custom-made coat, she realized that winters in Mengguo were much colder than in their Dachengguo, so Di Junlan had custom-made clothes just for her.

The fact that it has the character "锦" (jin, meaning brocade) on it indicates that it was made especially for her.

"master."

Murong Jin moved her hand in the wheelchair, and Yi Yi led her away from the palace where she was temporarily staying.

"The Regent of the Great Cheng Kingdom has arrived!!!"

After the sharp sound came from outside, Murong Jin sat in her wheelchair and looked at the Mongolian officials and guests from afar who were all looking at her.

In the very center of the palace, Murong Jin looked at the old man seated on the throne.

"Murong Jin greets His Majesty of the Mongol Kingdom."

He just sat there in the wheelchair, his eyes unfocused, only uttering a few words.

"Please forgive me if the Regent has not been well received during his visit."

Murong Jin simply hummed in agreement, offering no words of modesty whatsoever.

Everyone else gasped, while even the King of Meng, whose face turned ashen, had to give Murong Jin some face.

This is someone he can't afford to offend.

When Mongolia signed the peace treaty, this man had already reached the Mongolian border and taken the head of its general...

As the agreement was being signed, the man was still holding the bloodied head in his hand... and the man stared at him coldly, making him feel that if he didn't sign, the head in the man's hand might immediately become his...

"Please take a seat."

He wanted to win this person over, even though this person was now crippled in both legs, he still dared to come to Mongolia alone.

Although Lu Zhishen, that fool, said that Murong Jin was now a cripple, according to his understanding, even the young new emperor of Da Cheng dared not provoke his regent.

Moreover, it goes without saying why the late Emperor Dacheng would entrust the country to Murong Jin after his death.

Because Murong Jin is truly strong.

Amidst the singing and dancing, Murong Jin wasn't interested in the performances, but the wine from the Mongol Kingdom was quite good.

If the old emperor, like Lu Zhishen, wants to take her head, then it's time for someone else to take her place in the Meng Kingdom.

After all, this old man has been sitting here for decades; he should be tired of it by now.

The old emperor of Meng had intended to send Murong Jin a few women, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the ambiguous smile that Murong Jin gave him...

Okay, I won't see you off.

Lu Zhishen can never become Murong Jin.

Murong Jin has a strong and quick eye for observation, which Lu Zhishen cannot match.

Even though his son, who had been living away from home, was Murong Jin's brother, he was still no match for Murong Jin.

The palace banquet has ended.

Murong Jin was just about to rest when someone came in.

Looking at that face, Murong Jin's emotions remained unchanged. The pain of dying in her past life was hers; in this life, she only needed to make the person who caused her death suffer the same pain she had felt.

There's no need to pursue the rest; after all, this person is already dead at her hands, and there's no need to argue with a dead man.

"Ah Jin".

Murong Jin smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Lu Zhishen told her a few things, especially about how he was a spy in Mongolia and now he secretly came to chat with her, have a drink, and then left.

Murong Jin looked at the wine, drank it directly, and listened to his nonsense.

"You have no idea, I almost died when I first came here. If I hadn't worked like a slave for others, thinking about seeing you again, I might not have made it..."

Murong Jin hummed in agreement, "Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the heartache on Murong Jin's face, especially since Murong Jin's wariness wasn't directed at him, it meant that Murong Jin still harbored feelings for him from back then. For a moment, a dark feeling crept into his heart. "Ah Jin, how long are you going to stay here this time?"

Murong Jin replied, "There are still half a month left."

"I see. Then we can meet for a longer period of time."

Murong Jin looked at him, but before she could speak, she collapsed weakly onto the table and fell into a coma.

Then she felt herself being picked up, and she could hear Lu Zhishen's voice in her ear, "A-Jin? A-Jin? A-Jin?"

After calling out a few times without getting a response from Murong Jin, Lu Zhishen took her away from there.

Yi Yi and the other guards in the shadows exchanged a glance and then disappeared into the darkness.

Upon arriving at a certain place, Murong Jin was put down, and then her hands and feet were chained.

It's useless.

She could easily crush this thing; she was just pretending to faint to see what Lu Zhishen was planning. It was because she had come to Mongolia that Lu Zhishen made his move.

In his previous life, after Lu Zhishen returned to Dacheng, he did the same thing as today.

Her arrival simply brought that storyline forward.

And she just wanted to eliminate the problem completely.

The children of the Mongol kingdom who were left to roam abroad were nothing more than illegitimate children to the legal wife.

In a monogamous system, children born to concubines are considered illegitimate children, born out of wedlock.

After understanding the clash between modern and ancient cultures, Murong Jin felt at ease, thinking that modern society was pretty good, more than ten thousand times better than feudal ancient times.

Peace is something everyone desires; if we could achieve universal harmony...

That's difficult. People are never satisfied, and not all people are good.

"Keep a close eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhishen left. Murong Jin lay on that soft surface, whether it was a bed or a makeshift mat, but this prevented her from lying directly on the ground.

She opened her eyes as the door closed.

She was still wearing the clothes she wore last night, but thankfully they were lined with fluffy fabric, which kept her warm in the winter.

With a slight tap of his fingers on the bed, two figures appeared in the room.

"master."

Murong Jin: "Let's wait and see."

"yes."

They've all survived near-death experiences; they've even walked through the gates of hell. This petty kidnapping is nothing to worry about.

Besides, she's now acting with a script, and by making some changes, her scheme has fallen apart.

If she knew nothing about it, but then found out there was something wrong with her leg, she would experience some negative emotions; there would be gloom, and there would be some destructiveness...

After all, nobody wants to become a useless person.

Now that she knows so much, how could she possibly repeat the same mistakes?

The Mongol Empire was merely a territory that was recovered and incorporated into the Great Cheng Kingdom. Beyond the ocean, there were many other places and countries.

Murong Jin felt relieved. Unifying the world seemed to require time to mature; it wasn't something she could do alone. Even a thousand years later, the country would still be guarding its own territory...

If the goal is to expand territory, then invasion is the only option... So, what's the difference between her and an invader?

If the Meng Kingdom behaves itself and does not invade the Da Cheng Kingdom, then she naturally will not take action.

If she resorted to violence, then it would be perfectly normal for her to act in self-defense.
