Chapter Twenty-Eight: His Jade Pendant

    

a sob. He didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, knowing that Tai wouldn't accept her silver, and she actually used this method... 。"No need to say more, it's getting late. Let's go first." 。Qin Luoy...That jade pendant, Qin Luoyan glanced at it, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She said that this jade pendant looked so familiar, it turned out to be the one she had forcibly taken from him in the forest.

Two days ago, she traded this jade pendant for a fast horse from a middle-aged man on the roadside. Unexpectedly, it's now in Fu Zi Mo's hands. What does this mean It means that this person might already know her whereabouts and is waiting for her to fall into his trap.

As expected, Fu Zi Mo, the Martial Proclamation King who reigned supreme, was far too powerful for her to contend with.

Qin Luo'yan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Facing such a man, she had dared to provoke him repeatedly. The fact that she was still alive now was a stroke of luck.

The smile on her face stiffened involuntarily, "Your Highness, what are you joking about How could the esteemed Martial Proclamation King not even have a thousand taels This jade pendant is too valuable, I dare not accept it."

"Don't you dare Is there anything you won't do" Fu Zimo toyed with the jade pendant in his hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "You would even trade this valuable jade pendant for an ordinary warhorse. What else could you possibly be afraid of"

“Hee hee…” Qin Luoyan laughed, beads of sweat rolling down her temples, waving her hands repeatedly. “That wasn’t an emergency, was it It’s nothing, nothing at all. Just a thousand taels of silver Your Highness, I still trust your integrity. You should keep the jade pendant. The silver can be paid whenever you’re convenient.”

Though Qin Luoyan cursed Fu Zimo in her heart, a smile still hung on her face. Perhaps this was the result of experiencing too much; after maturing, this was how she expressed herself. She had grown past the age where her thoughts were written all over her face.

Fu ZiMo, however, did not take back the jade pendant. Instead, he reached out and pulled Qin LuoYan in front of him. His slender fingers held the jade pendant, then, under Qin LuoYan's dumbfounded expression, he shoved the jade pendant into her collar. "Things I give out are never taken back," he said. "Keep this jade pendant well. This ten thousand gold jade pendant offsets that one thousand taels of silver. You're not at a loss! Also, if you ever lose the jade pendant, then you can forget about keeping your head."

Threat! This is a blatant threat.

It's a pity that faced with the threat, Qin Luoyan seemed to have no power to refuse. She nodded wisely, choosing to ignore his ruffian behavior. She patted the jade pendant on her chest pleasingly and said, "Don't worry, I promise my life for yours."

Damn it, a thousand taels of silver just went down the drain!

The sun had finally risen to its zenith, bathing the world in a warm, golden glow.

On days when the winter sun shines, it is truly a pleasant and satisfying experience. Even the convoys on the move find themselves traveling at a faster pace due to this fine weather. Before sunset arrives, the convoy reaches a bustling city.

The journey from the border to Fengqicheng takes half a month, passing through seven large cities and thirty small cities. The city in front of us is one of the famous cities in northern Nan Yue.

The most famous restaurant in the city is located on the busiest main street in the south. Before sunset, there were already quite a few people inside. When it actually reached sunset, the entire restaurant would probably be packed.

In a private room on the second floor of a tavern, sat a young man by the window. He was about twenty years old, with handsome and elegant features. His temperament was extraordinary and refined. This was none other than Yin Qi, the Left Minister, who was rumored to be able to rival Xiao Chenghe, the chief minister of the capital.

He sat there so quietly, holding a cup of tea that had long gone cold. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of cooking wine under the plum tree that day.

The scent of alcohol lingered, still on the tip of my nose, yet the person had vanished completely from this world.

He let out a sigh and asked the person standing behind him, "Jin Chu, will King Wu Xuan arrive in this city today"

Behind him, Jin Chu nodded to the man. "Yes, according to our sources, King Wuxuan and his party arrive today. We...should we make a move"

“Go hand-to-hand” The young man in green shook his head. “Why bother facing him directly I’m just here to watch the show. You see, there was friction between Bei Ming and Nan Yue countries at the border, and it looked like a war was about to break out. I heard that General Wei Jun had already started deploying troops. But now, because of Miss Xiao's diplomatic mission, the two countries have turned their swords into ploughshares. The war that was about to happen is not going to happen, who do you think is most unhappy about this”

Jin Chu's simple face was etched with surprise, "Who General Wei Jun"

The man in green smiled faintly and said nothing, "You've made some progress. Without war, where would there be promotions, where would there be military supplies"

Jin Chu sighed. He was a rough man, straightforward in his speech. Hearing his master's analysis, he couldn't help but sigh, "It truly takes a chaotic world to produce heroes. Who wouldn't want peace and no war These generals are actually wishing for war!"

As for Jin and Chu's indignation, Yin Qi did not offer any opinion. He simply continued to watch the crowd strolling down the street, unaware of what he was looking at.

"By the way, I heard that King Wuxuan picked up a maid to warm his bed on the road." Jin Chu seemed to remember something and added, "I heard that King Wuxuan is rather fond of that maid, even breaking the rules to allow her to ride in the same carriage. King Wuxuan is going to greet Xiao Changyue, whose admiration for him is known throughout Fengqicheng. Master, do you think King Wuxuan did this without fearing he would embarrass Xiao Changyue"

Yin Qi listened to this, only then coming back to his senses. He put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a while, and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked: "Has Xiao Changyue made a move on that girl who warms the bed"

“Of course, it goes without saying! Whenever a woman is near King Wuxuan, Miss Xiao of the Xiao family would immediately rush over to make a fuss. This is common knowledge. But who made her have an empress dowager as her grandmother and a cousin married to the monarch of Beiming Just look at this time when she went on an embassy to Beiming, she even accomplished something, dealing with those lowly maidservants, wasn't it easy However…”

When it comes to this, Jin Chu is quite interested. His interactions with Yin Qi are also very casual, unlike the formality between other masters and servants.

"But what, you've learned to keep people in suspense now" Yin Qi found his expression rather amusing. "You have a rank, after all. Why are you so interested in gossip"

“Oh, my master, you wouldn't believe how shocked I was when I heard this. In the past, Prince Wuxuan never cared about Miss Xiao's dealings with others. But this time, he personally intervened! Though he didn't punish Miss Xiao, he did stop her.”

When Yin Qi heard this, he also showed a surprised expression. He pondered for a moment and said, “Send someone to investigate the background of that maid who warms the bed. I don't believe King Wuxuan would take a fancy to just any woman.”

"Hmm." Jin Chu responded, also curious about this matter.
