Chu Tianyin's report was none other than the disappearance of General Mu's son, Mu Qingwu, from Tian An!
Originally, Long Tianmo and General Mu had not only killed a few servants to silence them, they had also ordered the relevant personnel not to divulge anything about Mu Qingwu's disappearance.
However, there was no such thing as an impermeable wall, especially in a place like the imperial city! The news had reached the ears of Tian An's Imperial Noble Concubine, Duanmu Jin.
Mu Qingwu was General Mu's only son and the sole heir to the Mu family's army. Duanmu Jin was the first to report to Emperor Kang Cheng that something had happened to him.
Emperor Kang Cheng's attitude towards General Mu's estate was very contradictory.
Emperor Kang Cheng could tell that Long Tianmo had always been under the control of General Mu's estate, so he only wanted to befriend General Mu. He even had plans to marry his daughter off to Mu Qingwu.
However, when he found out that General Mu's estate had the ability to secretly control an important deputy general in the Chu army, he became even more fearful. He was even more fearful of General Mu's estate.
After all, Emperor Kang Cheng was more afraid of the Chu clan. If he married his daughter off to General Mu's estate, it would strengthen their influence in Tian An. In the end, even the imperial family of Western Zhou would be under their control.
When Long Tianmo brought up the topic of marriage, Emperor Kang Cheng happily agreed. Long Tianmo had made Duanmu Jin an Imperial Noble Concubine. His proactive display of goodwill caused Emperor Kang Cheng's original stance to waver.
As a result, Emperor Kang Cheng was very concerned about Long Tianmo's every move, as well as the movements of General Mu's estate. As soon as he found out about Mu Qingwu's disappearance, he immediately ordered a secret search for Mu Qingwu's whereabouts. No matter which side he stood on, if he could find Mu Qingwu first, he would have another bargaining chip in his hand.
It was a secret order from Emperor Kang Cheng. Unfortunately, his subordinates were unreliable, and Chu Tianyin quickly found out about it.
Of course, Chu Tianyin didn't know that much. He only knew that Mu Qingwu had gone missing and that Long Tianmo and General Mu were looking for him, as was Emperor Kang Cheng.
Besides that, the letter also mentioned the Hundred Poisons Sect. Even now, Chu Tianyin couldn't figure out why Emperor Kang Cheng wanted to show his face in public. Still, he guessed that Long Tianmo had something to do with the Hundred Poisons Sect. Chu Tianyin, Chu Tianyin's estate, Chu Tianyin's estate's estate as well...
After reading the letter, Long Feiye told the shadow guards to burn it. He didn't linger, but turned to enter the house. Caught off guard, Han Yunxi hadn't even made it to the bed before Long Feiye saw her.
Long Feiye gave a start before he realized what was going on. A flash of amusement flickered past his eyes before disappearing.
He closed the door and leaned against it with his arms crossed, sizing up Han Yunxi with interest.
Han Yunxi was still three or four steps away from the bed and had her back to Long Fei Ye. She froze in place when she heard the door open.
But she quickly recovered and turned around to ask, "It's the middle of the night. Where did you sneak off to?"
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. She walked over to the table and poured herself a glass of water. "If I hadn't woken up from thirst, I wouldn't have known you'd run off."
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything, but his gaze became meaningful.
Han Yunxi avoided his gaze and yawned lazily. "Aren't you going to sleep yet? I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first … "
As soon as she got up, Long Fei Ye hooked his finger at her. Han Yunxi lowered her head and pretended not to see.
"I'm hungry. Since you're still awake, come and serve me." Long Fei Ye emphasized the words "hungry" and "serve."
If Han Yunxi didn't understand what he meant, she must be faking it. She looked up and couldn't help but laugh foolishly.
"You're still not coming over? Do you want me to go over?" Long Fei Ye asked with raised brows.
Actually, whether she went over or he came over, the result would be the same. Between them, which time didn't he "serve" her? No matter how it started, it would always be him "serving" her in the end. Moreover, he would do his best to serve her without holding back.
Han Yunxi walked over step by step. Although "serving" was a physical experience, it was also a visual experience.
She walked closer step by step. Looking at Long Fei Ye's handsome face and Long Fei Ye's sculpture-like body, she fell in love with him. This man was dressed in black. Under the candlelight in the middle of the night, he looked even more mysterious and sexy.
The most sexy scene Han Yunxi had ever seen him was when he got down on her. After exerting himself, hot sweat slowly flowed down his cold and hard face and his well-defined chest.
Han Yunxi stood in front of Long Fei Ye. Seeing his deep gaze, she knew what he wanted. She couldn't help but bite her lip gently.
"Come closer," Long Fei Ye ordered.
Han Yunxi was obedient. If she took another step forward, her face would be buried in his chest.
She originally thought that Long Fei Ye would hug her, but unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye didn't move. What was this guy trying to do?
Han Yunxi looked up. Long Fei Ye was looking down at her. "Is this how you serve?"
Han Yunxi was shocked. What was this guy trying to do? He was standing so close to the door. How did he want her to serve him? Wasn't this a little too …
Han Yunxi's face immediately turned red. She immediately buried her head in Long Fei Ye's arms and gave him a fierce punch in protest. "Don't even think about it!"
This guy was getting scarier!
Long Fei Ye pulled her hand and placed Chu Tianyin's secret letter in her hand. He laughed out loud. "Han Yunxi, why are you so agitated? I just want you to cook some supper. You're telling me not to think about it? "
Uh …
Han Yunxi was stunned. She looked up again. Long Fei Ye looked at her blushing little face and couldn't help but laugh loudly. He hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.
Only the woman beside him knew how good a man could be. Only the man beside her knew how stupid a woman could be.
These words couldn't be more appropriate to describe Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi.
Who in the world could see the aloof and indifferent Long Fei Ye laughing so heartily? And who could see the magnificent Han Yunxi being so stupid?
Long Fei Ye lifted Han Yunxi's chin and said with a smile, "Han Yunxi, I don't mind you being a little more stupid."
Han Yunxi was embarrassed and angry. She retreated and glared coldly at Long Fei Ye.
"Urgent letter." When Long Fei Ye said this, she finally noticed the secret letter in her hand. It was indeed an urgent letter from Western Zhou.
Han Yunxi became serious. She hurriedly opened the letter and was shocked when she saw the contents. "So, Mu Qingwu has been kidnapped?"
Before Mu Qingwu had sought refuge with Long Tianmo and the Mu family had married Mu Liuyue to Long Tianmo, Han Yunxi had an extremely good impression of him. His impression of him was second only to that of Gu Beiyue.
However, during the famine, Mu Qingwu had sought refuge with Long Tianmo and the Imperial Uncle's estate for the sake of Mu Liuyue's marriage. Han Yunxi no longer saw him as a friend.
"It's been more than ten days, but the kidnappers still haven't shown up. This is strange," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
"Jun Yi Xie?"
The first suspect Han Yunxi thought of was Jun Yi Xie. Back then, Jun Yi Xie had planted many spies in Tianning Country. Perhaps he had spies in Tian An as well.
However, she quickly rejected the idea. Tian An and Western Zhou were of little value on the chessboard that was Cloud Realm Continent. They were tasteless, but it would be a pity to throw them away. Whether they were enemies or allies, they wouldn't have much of an impact on the current situation.
If he hadn't been kidnapped for official business, could it have been a private matter?
Long Fei Ye didn't care much about Mu Qingwu. He had spent time with Han Yunxi in the middle of the night to discuss this urgent letter because there was a problem worth paying attention to.
"What is Emperor Kang Cheng worried about this time?" he asked.
"Duanmu Jin isn't marrying Long Tianmo anymore, so the empress and the Imperial Noble Concubine are fighting for the throne?" Han Yunxi didn't care much about this matter.
In the end, Han Yunxi was less sensitive to such matters than Long Feiye.
Long Fei Ye said seriously, "Emperor Kang Cheng may be old, but he's not blind. He must be afraid of something, or he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. "
Long Fei Ye didn't know the truth, nor did he know about Emperor Kang Cheng's worries about the Mu family's power, but his guess was completely correct.
Western Zhou and Tian An didn't share a border and were both equally weak. In truth, their current cooperation didn't have much to do with each other. Judging from the current situation, neither Long Tianmo nor General Mu's seizure of power would have much of an impact on Emperor Kang Cheng. Emperor Kang Cheng could simply wait and see how things would unfold.
Only if Emperor Kang Cheng was threatened by Long Tianmo or General Mu's forces would he lose his cool and interfere with Mu Qingwu's disappearance.
Han Yunxi immediately understood after Long Fei Ye's explanation.
She asked doubtfully, "How can Long Tianmo and General Mu's forces threaten Emperor Kang Cheng?"
The two countries were separated by the powerful south central regions and Tianning. Could Long Tianmo and General Mu's forces threaten Emperor Kang Cheng's military or political affairs? That wasn't realistic. Chu Tianyin should be the one who could threaten Emperor Kang Cheng the most.
He was already part of Long Fei Ye's forces, so Emperor Kang Cheng should be afraid of Long Fei Ye instead. Unless Long Tianmo's forces had infiltrated the Chu Clan's forces. But if that was the case, then Chu Tianyin should have discovered them long ago.
The Chu Clan troops were perfectly fine and had already made all the necessary preparations to cooperate with Long Fei Ye to personally lead an expedition to the north in the coming spring!
Han Yunxi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains. Long Fei Ye couldn't figure it out either, but he took the matter to heart.
Han Yunxi served him with brush and ink while he immediately wrote a letter back to Chu Tianyin, reminding him to check the troops for spies.
After the letter was delivered to the Shadow Guard, Long Fei Ye closed the door and discovered that Han Yunxi was already lying on the bed. Although it was the depths of winter, the Celestial Fire Qian Furnace kept the stone rooms in the Medicine Requesting Cave warm.
Han Yunxi was covered in a thin silk quilt as she leaned against the pillow and looked at him lazily.
It was too late. She really was sleepy.
Long Fei Ye walked over and said seriously, "Han Yunxi, I really am a little hungry."
A single sentence was enough to chase away all the sleepiness in Han Yunxi's body. She had no idea what he meant by 'hungry'.
He's speaking so seriously, so he must really be hungry, right? But this fellow not only didn't have a habit of eating midnight snacks, he sometimes didn't like to eat when it was too late.
Han Yunxi's expression was adorably stupid. She didn't know how to respond to Long Fei Ye …
