C42 Jinling

After he left the ancestral hall, although he didn't say anything, he had always been secretly paying attention to Nineteen. Previously, when he saw her disguised herself as a waiter, he guessed that she wanted to make a move against Mu Qianxue, so he secretly went to Mu Qianxue's room. As he observed the movements in the room, he was also hesitating on whether or not he should save Mu Qianxue.

Dongfang Zhi was the master of the God's opportunity camp, so they should unconditionally comply with his orders. However, what he said was not completely unreasonable. Mu Qianxue, who had been left behind in the Southern Wasteland, didn't know what would happen to him.

He had originally thought that with Nineteen's ability, she would be able to control the situation. After all, Mu Qianxue was just a weak girl who was powerless, but she hadn't thought that Nineteen would actually be at a disadvantage. This Mu Qianxue was really frightening, no wonder Xiao Ruo Ao didn't give up and wanted to chase after her.

If Mu Qianxue had truly planned to tell Dongfang Yi about this earlier, even if he had to brave the risk of being discovered or even executed, he would definitely eliminate her. Otherwise, his nineteenth life would have been in danger!

Fifteen stepped on the tiles outside the window and quietly returned to his room. He took out a paper roll and lit up the candlestick on the table. While the faint orange light illuminated the room, it also cast a lonely shadow behind him ?

It was a silent night. When they woke up early in the morning, they packed up their things and headed towards Nanjing. When they were still some distance away from the city gates, fifteen men tied up their horses and stopped moving.

When Xia Yue saw this scene, she said with a frown, "Princess, why can't they come back to the capital with us? As long as we don't reveal their identities, wouldn't that be fine?"

Mu Qianxue stroked her sleeves and said faintly, "You're thinking too simply. Although the God's luck camp has always been hidden in the shadows and is not known to anyone, some things have more or less been spread for the past hundred years. Once so many people appeared at the same time, it would easily arouse the suspicion of others, and Jiang Yue is the best example.

She looked at Xia Yue, who seemed to not understand, "Do you still remember what I told you?"

Hearing this, Xia Yue hurriedly nodded, "This servant remembers that if anyone asks, just say that those who followed Prince into the palace to save us were a group of fugitives. They left when they sent us out of the Western Chu border."

"It's good that you remember. This matter is of utmost importance, don't let anyone else know about it." After saying these words, Mu Qianxue closed her eyes and fell silent. It was unknown whether she was resting or thinking about something.

Xia Yue did not dare to disturb him. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and curiously looked at the gradually clear and towering city gate in the distance. She had always heard people say that Jin'ling City was the most bustling place under the heavens.

This was the south gate of Jinling. It had just been opened not long ago, so no one had come in or out yet. The guard stood by both sides with his spear in hand.

Seeing the carriage approach, two soldiers went forward to stop it and inspect it. The leader of the guards had sharp eyes and saw the figure on the horse. He quickly said, "King Rui is here. Get out of the way!"

Hearing this, the soldiers all revealed expressions of reverence as they retreated to the side with a bow. It was only after Dongfang Zhi had walked far away that they were able to straighten their backs.

After entering the city, Jiang Yue went to the imperial palace to report to Emperor Zhou, while Dongfang Zhi brought Mu Qianxue to the prince's mansion in the eastern part of the city. After travelling for about an hour, the carriage stopped, and Dongfang Yi lifted the curtain as he stretched out his hand and said, "We've arrived."

At this moment, both of her nervous hands were slightly trembling, and she did not dare to clench her hands that were stretched out in front of her eyes.

"What are you afraid of?"

Mu Qianxue took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her flustered and fearful heart. "It can be said that I was the one who caused the calamity at the southern gate. I ?" The tip of her tongue was numb and bitter. She didn't know how to continue.

"The one who destroyed Nan Zhao was Xiao Ruo Ao, not you. Brother Mu is clear about this point, otherwise he wouldn't have begged me to save you. Come down, he really wants to see you."

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Qianxue finally extended her trembling hand and placed it in that large palm, allowing him to lead her down from the carriage.

Nineteen went up to knock on the door. When the gatekeeper found out it was Dongfang Nian returning, he rushed out to pay his respects and excitedly said, "Prince, you've finally returned, make this old servant very worried. His Majesty and the empress dowager have sent people to ask many times, especially the imperial concubine.

"To do something." "Yes." Dongfang Qing casually replied, then held Mu Qianxue's hand as they walked towards the manor. Xia Yue followed closely behind.

Only now did the gatekeeper realize that his master had come back this time with two women beside him. He held onto Nineteen who was walking at the back and asked curiously, "Nineteen, who are those two? How come they came back with your highness?"

No wonder he was curious. Dongfang Qing was a man of few words, and never liked the matters of the wind and the flowers and the moon. He had been in the mansion for so many years, but this was the first time he saw Dongfang Qing bring a woman back.

"How would I know? Ask the prince yourself." Nineteen said with a sullen face.

Watching Nineteen leave, the gatekeeper rubbed his head and said to himself, "What's wrong with Lady Nineteen? She looks like she ate gunpowder."

The moment he entered, he saw a person holding a longsword that radiated a cold light, flying up and down the empty courtyard. Within the courtyard, there were layers of sword images, and in the courtyard, there were two Begonia stalks planted with threads. Pink tender flower petals would occasionally fall along with the wind, but the moment they touched the sword image, they would immediately fly out.

Mu Qianxue blankly stared at the figure within the sword light whose clothes fluttered as tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.

"Mu Qianxue, what are you throwing water over me for?"

"Let's try out the sword art. Master said that once the Autumn Water Sword is practiced to the extreme, there will be no water or needles in it."

"You also said that you've reached the pinnacle of your training. I've only practiced it for a few days, how could I not be able to do it? You clearly did this on purpose."

"So what if it was intentional? Who asked you to not bring me with you when you left the palace yesterday? Hmph, let's see if you dare to leave the palace by yourself next time."

"You mischievous little girl, no wonder the Saints said, 'Only women are hard to handle.' It's not wrong at all."

The past had turned into countless daggers as they rampaged through Mu Qianxue's body. It was as if they wanted to tear every inch of her skin and bones apart; it was so painful that it was hard to breathe.

"Ding!" The sword shadows suddenly disappeared. Mu Linfeng stared blankly at Mu Qianxue, whose face was covered in tears. Her longsword had already fallen to the ground.
