C340 The Black Shadow Suspected That the Crowd Would Return Victorious

"Please spare my life, messenger. I was just confused. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for following you for so many years. Give this subordinate another chance. Please don't tell the Master. " After hearing these words, Yaner was already certain. The matter of her helping Qingyun earlier was already known by this emissary in front of her. She was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"So you admit it? In my opinion, you should have helped Mu Qingyun more than once, right?"

"Replying. . . Messenger, this subordinate helped him twice in total. "

"En, the night when the Master changed its killing strategy, you secretly left the manor to look for Mu Qingyun, right? This is the first time you have helped him, right?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the emissary. This subordinate knows that I was wrong. Please spare my life, emissary. "

"Get up and speak. If I wanted your life, you wouldn't be standing here and talking to me. You would have become a cold corpse a long time ago. "

" Yes. " Yaner felt a trace of warmth in her heart when she heard the black shadow's words. She also felt relieved. It seemed that the black shadow didn't have any intention of punishing her, so she stood up.

"Actually, I already knew when you first came out. But don't think that you will be fine just because I did not tell this matter to Master. This is betrayal. I can kill you at any time. I have a few questions that I want to ask you, and you have to answer them truthfully. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow. "

" Yes, this subordinate thanks the emissary for not killing me. If the emissary has any questions, just ask. As long as Yaner knows, she will definitely tell the emissary truthfully. "

"Let me ask you. You have followed me for so many years. Then, do you know about the matter between Mu Qingyun and me?"

"This. . . " Yaner's heart skipped a beat when she heard the black shadow. She did not expect the black shadow to ask him this.

"What, are you thinking about how to lie to me?" Seeing Yaner hesitating there, the black shadow frowned.

"I dare not. I know. "

"Alright. Now tell me how you and Mu Qingyun met until I became Black Shadow Envoy. The more detailed, the better. "

"Please forgive me, emissary. I can't tell you. " Yaner quickly knelt on the ground when she heard this.

"Why?"

"Envoy, you might not know this, but what happened before you became the emissary is a huge taboo in the Hundred-face Pavilion. No one is allowed to talk about it, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy. Furthermore, this subordinate swore to never mention the matter of the emissary again in front of the Master. Otherwise, ten thousand arrows will pierce through your heart, and you will fall into hell forever, never to be reincarnated again. "

"Didn't you say that you aren't afraid that I will kill you now?"

"Envoy, please spare my life. This subordinate really can't say it. This subordinate can only say that the relationship between you and Mu Qingyun isn't that simple. I have already said all that I can. Please spare my life, emissary. "

"Get up. I don't want anyone other than you and me to know what happened tonight. Otherwise, you should know the consequences. You can go down first. " Seeing Yaner's expression and words, the black shadow knew that he could not get anything out of her.

"Yes, this subordinate will retire. " Hearing the black shadow asking her to leave, Yaner felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She bowed and quickly stood up to leave. She did not want to stay here any longer. Otherwise, if the black shadow went back on his word, she would lose her life.

"Mu Qingyun, it seems that it is not that simple between the two of us. Being able to become the biggest taboo of Hundred-face Pavilion, it means that the truth might not be like what I remember. In the following period of time, I would like to see if my memory is wrong or if you really deserve to die. " He looked at Yaner's departing figure. Black Shadow Envoy muttered to himself before walking back into the room.

Due to the conditions that everyone had agreed to, the discussion went smoothly. A few days later, General Qu returned with the tribute movers.

At the same time that they returned, a black shadow sat on a chair under the study in the palace of Nanzhou. Next to him stood the fake Patriarch Helian.

"Envoy, what instructions does Master have?"

"Master has ordered you to take good care of the Nanzhou and not cause any more trouble. Currently, the Nanzhou has suffered heavy losses due to the recent years of war and needs to recuperate. Your current mission is to speed up the development of the Nanzhou and secretly recruit soldiers and horses to strengthen your strength. Wait for you to rise again in the future. "

"But I have never managed the huge Nanzhou before. This subordinate can't shoulder this heavy responsibility either. Why don't you, the emissary, take care of it?" When the fake monarch heard that he still needed to properly manage the country, he knew that he didn't have the ability to do so.

"Don't tell me you don't know how to do it? The real Helian Nanxiong is in the secret passage. If there is anything you can't do, you can look for him. I still have my own matters to attend to. I'm leaving Nanzhou tomorrow. You can preside over this place yourself. If there's anything you need, just send a pigeon to the Master. "

"Envoy, where are you going?"

"Do I have to report to you where I'm going? Do your own thing. It's best if you don't know what you shouldn't know. " After saying that, Black Shadow Envoy stood up and turned around to leave.

After rushing all the way back to Shuntian Prefecture, all the soldiers returned to their camps. General Qu and the other generals stopped at the foot of the city wall and looked up at the three big words written on the city wall: Shuntian Prefecture.

"Finally back. " General Qu said with a sigh.

At this moment, the firecrackers on the city wall rang. A pair of horses rode out of the city. They lined up in a row, and then two people rode their horses out side by side. When they looked closely, they saw Royal Guards's Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

Following that was the Emperor's throne room. On the left and right side of the throne room, there was a green dragon and a white tiger riding their horses to protect them. Looking back, it was all the officials. When General Qu and the rest saw that the Emperor had personally arrived, they hurriedly dismounted and all of the horse riders dismounted as well.

When the throne room was in front of them, the White Tiger dismounted and came to the front of the throne room. It opened the curtain and extended a hand. The Emperor and Princess Jinyu walked out from the throne room and supported the White Tiger's hand as they walked step by step towards General Qu and the rest.

"This official greets the Emperor and the Princess. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!" Everyone present immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Hahahaha, Mr Qu, Zhao my close, my close and the rest of the soldiers, please do not stand on ceremony. It is the fortune of our Great Ming that we have returned victorious from this expedition. All of you are meritorious officials. I will definitely reward you for your meritorious service. Today, I have personally come to welcome the triumphant return of all the soldiers. Men, serve the wine. " The Emperor laughed as he looked at the crowd and ordered them to stand down, but he ignored Mu Qingyun.

"Our army was able to obtain a complete victory, it was all thanks to the Emperor overseeing the country and was wise and divine that the heavens would protect us, Da Ming. Only then would we be able to win and return. " Zhao Gongxun cupped his hands and said.
