NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Special Reward for Jing Ni!
Seven days later, a luxurious carriage slowly entered Xinzheng under heavy escort.
The messenger sent by the Emperor of Wei has arrived!
Unlike before, this person came to investigate the murder of Wei Wuji.
To ensure that the case could proceed smoothly, the Emperor of Han agreed to the Emperor of Wei’s request.
Exceptionally, the Wei Empire’s Wei Wu soldiers were allowed to escort the messenger into the country.
The Emperor of Wei no longer trusted the defense forces of Han.
The Wei Wu soldiers evolved from the tradition of the Wei Empire’s armor-gate.
Their training methods were quite strict.
But at the same time, their combat power was also formidable!
It can be said that they were the heavyweights among the heavyweights in armored troops!
Usually, a thousand soldiers would form a combat unit.
This time, the Emperor of Wei sent the entire Wei Wu troops to escort the messenger!
“How is it, did the Emperor of Wei invite Nameless?”
As soon as Han Fei entered the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Sister Zi asked.
Han Fei’s face looked strange, shaking his head, “Didn’t see him.”
“Didn’t see him?”
As the son of the Emperor of Han, Han Fei would certainly attend the Emperor’s banquet.
“The envoy did not attend the banquet, and also refused the accommodation arranged by the Emperor. After arriving, he went straight to the Cloud Valley and stayed at the Cloud Pavilion.”
Nongyu opened her mouth, “So arrogant? Not even giving face to the Emperor of Han?”
Han Fei smiled bitterly, “He just doesn’t trust us.”
The messenger not only rejected the accommodation arranged by the Emperor of Han but also did not accept the guards arranged for him by the Emperor.
The Wei Wu soldiers could match ten times their own ordinary troops.
The combat power of a thousand Wei Wu soldiers was already quite terrifying.
You can’t send ten thousand troops to protect the Emperor of Han, right?
Zhang Liang said dumbfounded, “If that’s the case, does the envoy even know who he is?”
Han Fei did not answer, obviously also considering whether it was Nameless who had arrived.
Sister Zi meditated for a long time before slowly saying, “It should be Nameless.”
“With a thousand Wei Wu soldiers escorting him, it is to make people believe it is not him, Nameless; he wants to lure the snake out of its hole.”
Zhang Liang’s eyes lit up, “Because Nameless does not need protection at all, he himself is the strongest protector!”
Han Fei nodded in agreement, “Correct, Nameless’s strength is still above…”
He glanced at Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang’s lips moved slightly as he faintly said, “Above me. He is a formidable opponent, like…”
Wei Zhuang’s gaze fell on Sister Zi.
Sister Zi suddenly realized something and was stunned.
After being dazed for a while, she finally came to her senses under the puzzled gazes of Han Fei and Zhang Liang.
With a sigh, she said, “Just like him.”
Zhang Liang was immediately puzzled by the enigmatic words of these two.
After everyone dispersed, Sister Zi walked to the window with a melancholic expression.
It was a night with a full moon.
The moon hung high, casting a shroud of moonlight over the world like a piece of white gauze.
Returning after seeing off a few people, Nongyu saw Sister Zi standing by the window as soon as she entered the room.
She sighed softly and brought a cup of tea to Sister Zi.
“Sister Sister Zi, are you thinking of him again?”
Sister Zi shook her head and did not take the tea that Nongyu handed her.
The pure moonlight reflected her enchanting face pale.
With a slight movement of her thin lips, she murmured, “Where do you think he will go?”
*
Under the moonlight were a pair of extraordinary individuals.
Jing Ni led Li Mo, walking leisurely in the moonlight.
Li Mo patted his stomach, complaining, “The dishes at the restaurant today were not that great, I won’t go there next time.”
Jing Ni shifted his gaze from the bright moon and reached out to pat his stomach. Laughed: “Yes, yes, husband is right. I wonder who ate all the food without leaving any leftovers, look at how full my stomach is.”
Li Mo grimaced: “Money is spent, of course it should be eaten clean.”
“But honey, why did you suddenly decide to go out to eat today, this is not like your usual style.”
Jing Ni usually hated to split a penny into two.
Spending money to eat out today was indeed beyond Li Mo’s expectations.
Jing Ni held his hand and swayed it back and forth, coquettishly saying: “Tired of cooking today, can’t we just take a break?”
Li Mo doubted: “Strange, it was made last night, didn’t honey rest well during the day.”
Jing Ni was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about.
Blushing instantly, she pinched his arm lightly in frustration and said: “I meant cooking, cooking, what are you thinking?”
Li Mo burst out laughing, and the two of them jokingly made their way back home.
Just as they entered the house, Jing Ni suddenly stopped in her tracks.
After feeling her head, her expression changed slightly as she said: “Oh, husband, I lost my hairpin!”
Li Mo, with his back turned to her, remained silent for a moment before turning around to comfort her: “If it’s lost, let it be lost, maybe it fell off during our playful antics on the way.”
“We have so many hairpins at home, wife can wear another one.”
Jing Ni wore a sorrowful look and said: “No, that was the one you gave me.”
Li Mo shrugged: “I’ll give you ten more.”
Jing Ni shook her head and said: “No, I remember I took it off and placed it on the table while I was eating, dear…how about you go ask the shopkeeper for me?”
Li Mo opened his mouth: “Now? Let’s ask tomorrow!”
Jing Ni coquettishly said: “No, it might have been picked up by someone tomorrow. Dear, can you make a trip for me? When you come back, I’ll have a reward.”
She then grabbed Li Mo’s arm.
Li Mo’s face brightened: “Really?”
Jing Ni covered her mouth and laughed: “Really, really, just kidding.”
“Alright, honey, go freshen up at home, I’ll go and be back soon.”
After seeing Li Mo off, the smile on Jing Ni’s face slowly faded.
She turned and walked into the bedroom, where she easily retrieved a package wrapped around a long object from the ceiling beam.
Unwrapping the cloth, a long sword with a lotus-shaped tip appeared before her eyes.
Li Mo had taken only a few steps out of the house before stopping.
He turned and leaned against the tall tree outside, taking out a hairpin from his pocket.
