Chapter 205 People Under the Eaves

"Have you two finished talking?" A leisurely voice sounded outside, and the tone sounded particularly calm. "It's not easy for two famous generals to meet. It seems a pity not to have a discussion."

Rong Xiao turned his head to look.

Ming Qi, dressed in a cloud robe, came leisurely, with an elegant and graceful posture, as if he was strolling in his own backyard. He was waving a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant.

Meeting Rong Xiao's emotionless eyes, Ming Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If the verbal confrontation is not enough, you can also have a good fight. Anyway, the Ninth Prince is powerful and not short of money, and he doesn't feel bad about destroying some precious flowers and plants."

Rong Xiao frowned: "You have nothing to do?"

"There is really nothing to do." Ming Qi sighed, "The master sent a letter from thousands of miles away to ask me to come. I thought the master was injured or poisoned, but I didn't expect that he was seeing the God of War of Mu State."

After the consultation, there is naturally nothing to do.

He couldn't do anything about the Heart-Eating Gu, so he could only go back to the Southland later. Then he would have to see how the prince planned to detoxify.

Rong Xiao didn't say anything.

Ming Qi looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Rong Xiao's face: "Where did the master go?"

"The garden of the palace." Rong Xiao said, and took the lead to walk out.

Ming Qi followed behind and said calmly: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. The two of us appeared in Mu Country. Sooner or later, the people behind the scenes will know that we are here, and will also find out who we are here for."

Rong Xiao said indifferently: "What do you have to do?"

"Simply go back to the Southland as soon as possible under the pretext of detoxifying the Ninth Prince." Ming Qi said, "The closer to the Southland, the safer the master will be."

"It's not time to go back yet."

"It's not time to go back?" Ming Qi frowned, "Why?"

Rong Xiao didn't answer this question.

Mu Cang followed the two with his hands behind his back, his noble face was calm, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two.

After leaving the courtyard, he turned around and walked along the corridor to the back garden.

The corridors are winding and the courtyards are deep.

The back garden of the palace is very large, with pavilions, lakes, rockery and waterside pavilions. Dense flower vines hang down from both sides, blocking most of the sunlight on the corridor.

The scenery in the garden is beautiful and quiet, not like the residence of a war god prince.

Yan Li leaned on the beauty of the corridor, watching the koi playing in the lake leisurely. A few rays of light penetrated the flower vines and fell on her face, making the girl's cheeks seem to be shining with stars.

Mu Cang walked along the corridor, and his luxurious black robe swayed regularly with his footsteps, reflecting a noble and cold color.

Yan Li turned around and saw him coming, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did you have a fight with Rong Xiao?"

"No." Mu Cang walked over and sat down beside her, "We are not children, and we don't do childish things."

"Childish?" Yan Li raised her lips and looked at him with a smile, "In that case, who is going to tell the things you two have kept from me together?"

Mu Cang glanced at her, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yan Li reached out and pinched his chin: "Mu Cang."

Mu Cang grabbed her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Listen to my quibbling."

Yan Li paused, then laughed: "Speak."

Mu Cang stared at her eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I have only seen you put on a little bit of the airs of the empress recently."

Yan Li was silent, grabbed some fish food and threw it into the lake, watching the fish fighting for food: "People under the eaves have to bow their heads."

It is because she is an empress that she knows more about the inviolability of imperial power and the lethality of words.

It was not her wish for her soul to fall on Yan Li, but Yan Li's identity was indeed helpless. Fortunately, the prince's withdrawal of the engagement alarmed Emperor Zhaocheng, which changed her situation.

Otherwise, she could only keep a low profile.

The identity of the empress of the Southern Kingdom cannot be used. Her martial arts are not to the point of sweeping thousands of troops, and her medical skills and poisons are not applicable at all times. It is only by relying on the emperor's favor that she can suffer less grievances.

So even if she is an empress, she cannot be so arrogant as to not be able to distinguish the situation.

Mu Cang said in a low voice: "You have been practicing martial arts recently. How is your practice going?"

"Self-protection is no problem." Yan Li came back to his senses and leaned lazily on the railing, "But this body is really a little weak, and it is only enough for self-protection for the time being."

Mu Cang hummed: "It will take some time, don't worry."

Yan Li was not in a hurry, because self-protection did not necessarily require the use of force.

Besides, with Tianshu and the other four people, she did not need to do everything herself.

"I am afraid that the words Rong Xiao said in the palace will make the emperor worried and unable to sleep and eat well in the future." Yan Li looked at the lake, his voice calm and calm, "But it's good, it can give the monarch and ministers of Mu some psychological preparation in advance, so that when that day really comes, it will not be difficult to accept."

Mu Cang was silent for a moment: "Rong Xiao has seen me before."

Yan Li tilted her head to look at him.

Mu Cang said, "Don't you want to ask?"

Yan Li seemed to be easy to talk to: "If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

"After the wedding tomorrow, I will tell you tonight." Mu Cang's voice softened a little, "Some things should be known to you."

Yan Li looked at his eyebrows without saying a word, and suddenly laughed softly: "In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess something."

Mu Cang's expression paused, and he looked at her silently.

Yan Li turned his head to look at the blue sky, and his voice became more transparent and clear: "The northern border has been quiet for two consecutive years, which is not in line with their style of doing things."

After these words came out, Mu Cang's expression was indeed slightly tense.

"There is also the matter of the Jin Kingdom's marriage proposal, which was too hasty." Yan Li sneered, "Rong Xiao sent someone to deliver the document mentioning the marriage, which was at my instruction, but Beijiang also followed suit within two days, which is a bit inexplicable."

Mu Cang lowered her eyes and was speechless for a moment.

This flaw was too obvious, and she couldn't help but doubt it.

"So can you tell me, how can you, a god of war who has been fighting with Beijiang at the border for many years, have such great magical powers that you can control the enemy's Beijiang without knowing it?"

She guessed it, and guessed it exactly.

Mu Cang was silent, and she was not surprised at all.

Although her military strength has not recovered to the past for the time being, her mind is still sharp, and a flaw can make her think of the truth.
