The shopkeeper was quite generous, and the food and wine served as a gift were all of the highest quality, and the table was filled to the brim.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent and slightly awkward. Sima Luocheng did not speak, and Mu Zili and Simeng naturally found it difficult to ask questions.
Sima Luocheng drank several glasses of wine and hesitated several times.
After all, he spoke first, "Thank you both for what happened just now!" His face was crimson, but there was suppressed anger in his eyes.
"It's just a matter of effort, young master, don't worry!" Mu Zili held the pot and poured wine for him, but Shi Meng stopped him with a flick of his sleeves, frowned slightly and shook his head, indicating that he had something to say.
"Master Sima, what are your plans for the future?" From what she thought, Sima Luocheng had a deep personality and had been forbearing all this time, so he must have something in mind.
But she saw Sima Luocheng shaking his head and sighing. He did not answer her question. Instead, he reached out and took out a green jade from his arms and slowly placed it on the table.
Looking carefully at the jade, it was glowing faintly under the dim light, warm and moist like gelatin, crystal clear and faintly green in color, shaped like a dancing phoenix, and shaped like a half-moon.
Like a dream, I secretly thought that this kind of jade, not to mention the shape and carving, but the warm jade of this quality is definitely a treasure in the world.
After all, this Sima Luocheng was once the crown prince of the Yun Kingdom. He seemed to be in such a state of desolation that he didn't want to carry such treasures with him.
While she was looking at the jade with shining eyes, she heard Sima Luocheng's hoarse voice say: "If Miss Meng likes it, then take it!"
"How... how can this be done? Seeing that this jade is expensive to make, and you carry it with you, even if you are penniless, you are unwilling to cash it in for emergencies. I guess it must be of extraordinary significance to you. I'm just looking at it.
It has a unique shape, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity. But it doesn't mean anything else! Don't get me wrong!" Xi Meng dreamed that he handed the jade jue to her, and hurriedly pushed it away with both hands, resolutely refusing.
Although she loves money, she is by no means greedy.
Sima Luocheng put down his wine glass, put one hand on his forehead, and held up the jade jue with the other. He frowned, and there were ripples in his eyes as deep as ancient wells, "Ms. Meng has good eyesight, and this jue is originally a pair of dragon and phoenix jue. Unfortunately,
Now there is only a single figure of Fengwu Jue..."
Xi Meng frowned, "Oh?! What about the other half?"
Sima Luocheng was startled, and his expression became more gloomy, "The other half's name is 'Long Yinjue', and now, there is nothing to hide from Miss Meng and Brother Mu. To be honest with you two, this Long Yinjue is currently in the Shang Kingdom.
In the hands of the princess Baili Bing. At that time, Jun's father first ascended to the throne, and the Yun Kingdom from Jun's father down was a martial artist. Jun's father wanted to dominate the Kyushu and was at constant war with the Shang Kingdom. At that time, the Shang Kingdom's king was pregnant.
Because of my body, and the national strength was not as good as before, I had to cede territory several times and negotiate for peace, but the king and my father refused to give in."
Speaking of this, Sima Luocheng's gloomy eyes flashed with light, and then he said: "Until the monarch gave birth to a princess, he actually betrothed the princess to me, who was not yet one month old, and also used the dragon and phoenix that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Shang monarchs as betrothal letters.
The princess and I each hold the Fengwu Jue and the Dragon Yin Jue. The king once promised his father that whenever he held the Fengwu Jue, it would be like holding half of the soldiers and horses of the Shang Kingdom. In this way, the king's father was very happy and thought that Shang
The country is already within our grasp, and unifying the nine states is certainly a piece of cake."
"It's just that things in the world have changed. After the Shang Kingdom took the initiative to enter into a marriage relationship with our Yun Kingdom, your father led an army to conquer the Xia Kingdom again. However, he suffered repeated defeats, morale dropped, and the military morale gradually weakened. The war continued for years, and the people were heavily taxed and suffered terribly.
, coupled with repeated advice from the court's remonstrators, the emperor finally decided to call off his troops and return to Beijing to recuperate. Since then, natural disasters continued in the country, the emperor was old, and he was deceived by his concubine, and the country's power gradually declined. He even delayed the original wedding date with the princess.
I knew I was in the wrong, so last year I sent an envoy to apologize to the monarch, and also wanted to discuss a new wedding date. Unexpectedly, the monarch postponed the matter on the grounds that the princess was unwell. Later, I was framed by Concubine Mei in the palace...
…”
When he said this, he clenched his fists with both hands, and his eyes became increasingly angry.
Xi Meng's heart tightened when he heard this. Hearing the meaning behind his words, he originally wanted to come to Bingzhou to seek refuge with the King of Shang State with the help of this Feng Wujue. But looking at his current expression, he was afraid that he would be rejected.
At this moment, Mu Zili asked slowly: "Since the king of Shang State promised your father that day, and you have Feng Wujue in your hand, you can borrow troops from her and go back to capture Concubine Mei."
I just kicked him out of the palace, but why am I still frowning when I see the young master?"
Wood is still wood after all. It has such a fairy-like appearance, but it has no understanding of the world and the sinister human heart. Silly wood, it is obvious that the king has regretted it! Can't you see this?
As expected, Sima Luocheng sighed quietly and said: "As soon as the palace gate opened at Mao Shi today, I took Feng Wujue and went to ask for an audience. But... the guard at the palace gate saw that I was in ragged clothes and refused to report back on my behalf.
.I sat outside the palace gate all day long. I originally wanted to sneak into the palace at night, but unexpectedly, the palace door was already closed tightly at Youshi. The surrounding guards were patrolling and heavily guarded. With my skills, I was afraid that even if I could enter the palace wall, I would not be able to escape.
He can't beat the masters in the palace, let alone see the princess..."
"It's simple. If the young master wants to enter the palace, I can help him now!" Mu Zili said and stood up, preparing to lead Sima Luocheng to the palace immediately.
Sima Luocheng was so embarrassed that he thanked him repeatedly, but rejected his kindness, "Thank you, Brother Mu, but I have thought about it carefully after I came back. If I force my way in, I will definitely tell the truth. If the king
If I reject this matter, I will have no other way out. It would be better to..."
"It would be better for us to be upright and enter the palace in the name of proposing marriage. No matter how cunning the monarch is, he will not dare to deny the young master, not to mention that the young master has this phoenix dance in his hand." Shi Meng took his hand.
A few words revealed what he was thinking.
Sima Luocheng's gloomy face finally had a smile, and he cupped his hands and said, "Ms. Meng is indeed very smart. She said what Luocheng was thinking in one sentence. But now, the news of Luocheng's destruction has already spread throughout the nine states.
, I think the king of the Shang Kingdom must also know about it. Although I heard that she can be called a wise king, this matter is not a trivial matter. If she does not miss the old relationship and refuses to see each other, it is normal!"
Xi Meng shook his head and waved his hands, "It may not be as you think. Maybe people are very curious about your son-in-law! In short, everything will be clear after entering the palace tomorrow!"
She had no intention of participating in his revenge plan, but she couldn't bear to abandon him.
Recalling that when the epidemic spread in Fog House, he took care of the villagers day and night regardless of his life.
Perhaps, if he were a king, he would be a sage king.
In this way, it is also a good thing for the people of Yun State who live in dire straits.
If she and the wood spirit help him ascend the throne, it can be regarded as accumulating merit and will definitely be beneficial to his practice.
I won't mention it for the moment, but Mu Zili has practiced for ten thousand years. If one day he can successfully cope with the robbery of Feixian, it will be a great joy.
