Chapter 224 Xiangshan
Master Liu finished his tea, poured another cup, and said quietly.
"It's just that I want to discuss a business with the prince. But if I meet with the prince privately with my identity, I'm afraid someone will be unhappy. I have no choice but to invite the prince to a gathering on my wife's birthday."
After saying that, he looked directly at Nangong Muchen, waiting for his answer.
Nangong Muchen curled his thin lips slightly.
"Oh? The Prince's tutor, after returning home, is actually planning to do business?"
Master Liu sighed slightly and changed the subject.
"What do you think of my son from the Liu family?"
Nangong Muchen blew gently on the tea in his hand, thought about it carefully, and said pertinently.
"The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Sinuo, is good at fighting and is the deputy general of the brave general Zhou Jin. He is invincible and a fierce general."
"The second son, Liu Siqi, dislikes the government and left home to venture into the martial arts world when he was young. Now he is the last disciple of the head of Tianji Hall. With a sword, he vows to eliminate all injustice in the martial arts world and take revenge. He can be called a young hero."
"As for the youngest one..."
Nangong Muchen took a sip of tea, his eyes calm.
"He has great wisdom and courage, and is known as the most talented person in the capital. He is indeed a piece of fine jade."
Nangong Muchen tightened the teacup in his hand and looked at Master Liu.
"Of course, good jade needs to be carved. If you choose the wrong carving knife, I'm afraid both the jade and the stone will be destroyed."
Nangong Muchen said it calmly, but Master Liu still felt a chill in his heart.
He gave a bitter smile and avoided Nangong Muchen's sight.
"Yes, all the sons of my Liu family are good!"
"Sir, do you think that if Si Yun fails, will the Liu family have a chance to survive?"
Nangong Muchen chuckled.
"Under the cover of the nest, are there any intact eggs?"
Master Liu's hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly.
"This is why I want to do business with the prince."
Nangong Muchen put down the teacup and said in a calm voice.
"It's rare that the Master is a wise man. Please speak."
Master Liu looked straight at him.
"I'll give you three pieces of information, and you'll keep the Liu family from being affected."
Nangong Muchen looked into his eyes without blinking, his tone indifferent.
"It depends on whether the news is significant enough."
His eyes moved and Master Liu smiled brightly.
"Whether it's enough or not, you can tell by listening."
"This first piece of news is related to the incident at Chimu Mountain in Bangshui County."
Nangong Muchen raised his eyebrows.
"Akagi-san?"
Master Liu nodded.
"Your Highness only knows that someone in Chimu Mountain privately made weapons. Do you know how many other places are doing the same thing? Also, do you know where these weapons ended up?"
Nangong Muchen's eyes darkened.
"you know?"
Master Liu slowly and methodically adjusted the corner of his clothes.
"I am an old man in the court after all, so I have some information of my own."
He had already known that the prince was acting in secret.
But he is already this old, he just wants to live a stable life for two years and then return to the countryside to retire.
The high position in the temple had nothing to do with him.
He was wise and cautious, no matter what the prince was planning, it was all futile to him.
But unfortunately, his youngest son Liu Siyun was involved in it without his knowledge!
Became a member of the prince's party!
His choice of side undoubtedly showed the Liu family's attitude to everyone.
This is pushing the Liu family into the abyss!
But what he chose was a hot item!
What? You say he's resourceful by doing so many little things?
He is the crown prince! The legitimate heir to the throne of the Great Xia Kingdom!
He was actually instigated by others to do something to seize power and usurp the throne. If he is not a hot commodity, then what is he?
This forced him to find a way out for the Liu family.
Otherwise, when that person fails, the Liu family will be destroyed.
Nangong Muchen raised the corner of his mouth.
"Grandmaster, you should know that my subordinate Chidian is not just a bunch of idlers. I will know this news later at most."
Master Liu didn't expect to convince him with this.
He took a sip of tea and said.
"The second message is about your best friend, the brave general Zhou Jin."
Nangong Muchen changed his sitting position.
"Zhou Jin? Wasn't he ordered to train troops in the northern border?"
Master Liu looked serious.
"But Snow sent a message back through my Liu family's secret method, saying that General Zhou Jin suddenly disappeared ten days ago."
Nangong Muchen frowned.
Zhou Jin has always been the most dedicated to his duties. Once he has received the emperor's order, there is no way he would slack off.
Unless something goes wrong...
But Zhou Jin's martial arts is ranked third on the Jianghu list, so who can get him into trouble?
"Does the Master have any news?"
Nangong Muchen asked calmly.
Master Liu nodded.
"Some people say they saw him in Xiangshan."
Nangong Muchen’s brows furrowed even deeper.
"Xiangshan?"
"You mean, he went from the northern border of Xia Country to Xiangshan, the southernmost part of Xia Country?"
Master Liu sighed softly.
"I also find it unbelievable, but the person who sent the message back was sure that it was Zhou Jin he saw."
"I sent someone to follow up, but he has already disappeared. The person who wrote to me said that he was not in a good condition, but I haven't found out yet."
Master Liu looked at Nangong Muchen and said seriously.
"Prince, there may be changes in the northern border."
Nangong Muchen said nothing, shaking the teacup in his hand without blinking, lost in thought.
If the man in Xiangshan is really Zhou Jin, I'm afraid something really went wrong.
It is impossible for Zhou Jin to leave his post without permission, unless he encounters something that forces him to leave his post without permission.
What happened in the North?
And why do you want to go to Xiangshan?
Xiangshan was once the territory of the ancient Miao Kingdom, and later surrendered to the Xia Kingdom. It is a mysterious and dangerous place.
I heard that Xiangshan is full of adventures, but you can lose your life at any time.
Why did Zhou Jin go there?
But if it was really Zhou Jin, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
It seems that I need to go there...
"What about the third news?"
Nangong Muchen asked calmly.
Master Liu was delighted!
Since Prince Muchen asked, it proved that he agreed to the deal!
The Liu family is saved!
"The third message is about a venomous snake hiding in the darkness, waiting for its chance to strike!"
"After the lotus viewing banquet is over tomorrow, please stay, my lord. I have something to give you."
Nangong Muchen nodded.
"A real snake?"
Isn't it the kind of earthworm that jumps up and down in the open?
Master Liu nodded and affirmed.
"Really, snake."
……
Fucheng, Yama Palace branch.
A group of people knelt respectfully at the foot of a woman wearing white clothes and covering her face.
The woman looked at the yellow list in her hand and sneered.
"The Death List, he is really anxious, huh..."
A subordinate kneeling below asked.
"My Lord, do you want to accept this mission?"
The woman's eyes changed slightly and she threw the yellow notice lightly at him.
A huge internal force instantly attacked him!
The subordinate was thrown to the ground before he could react, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the yellow list on the ground red...
The others didn't dare to speak, let alone step forward to help the man up.
The woman's voice was gentle, with a hint of coolness.
"I don't want to hear such a stupid question again."
"I just have a few more businesses, and I don't have the energy to manage them one by one."
"First it was Hongxiu Tianxiang, and then this Yama Palace. They are exactly the same stupidity."
