When Jin Zi came to see Ning Cheng, he happened to bump into Mu Ling 'er coming out of Ning Cheng's room.
Ever since they moved to the courtyard, Mu Ling 'er had been avoiding Jin Zi. Jin Zi was under house arrest under the shadow's watch, so he didn't ask to see her.
Bumping into him here, Mu Ling 'er immediately avoided his gaze. She didn't know what she was feeling guilty about. Perhaps it was because she didn't fulfill her promise to Jin Zi and help him obtain his indenture contract.
Mu Ling 'er avoided Jin Zi's gaze and hurriedly fled. Jin Zi's gaze followed her, but he didn't call out to her.
Only when Mu Ling 'er's figure could no longer be seen did Jin Zi knock on the door. Coldly, he said, "Ning Cheng, I'm here!"
"Come in!" Ning Cheng said in a deep voice.
The Shadow Guard was waiting at the door. Jin Zi pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Ning Cheng wasn't lying on the bed, but was sitting on a nearby bamboo couch.
Jin Zi walked closer and sized him up. He sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
"Sit." Ning Cheng lightly said.
Jin Zi sat down. When he was a hostage in Northern Li, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with Ning Cheng. But, Ning Cheng's gaze was enough for him to understand, so he didn't say too much to Jun Yi Xie.
He and Ning Cheng were master and servant in name, but in reality, they had been friends for nearly twenty years. At the same time, they were also enemies.
He used the Three-Way Black Market's casino business to open a black money house. He had already earned enough money to redeem himself. Several times, he offered a price a hundred times higher than the market price, but Ning Cheng refused to let him redeem himself. In this matter, he and Ning Cheng were absolute enemies.
Glancing at the tea on the table, Jin Zi sneered, "Haha, when did Honorable Ning start drinking tea?"
For so many years, he had only seen wine on Ning Cheng's table.
"Doctor Gu won't give me any alcohol. Why don't you get me two jars?" Ning Cheng smiled.
"Brother?" Deacon Jin laughed loudly. "Brother, do you still keep your promise to me?" Back at Myriad Merchant Hall, Ning Cheng had promised him that as long as he could deal with Mu Ling 'er and take over the Mu Clan, he would return the indenture contract to him.
If it wasn't for this agreement, how could he, who had never been close to women, take the initiative to provoke Mu Ling'er, such a stupid girl? If he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke them, how could he have provoked Han Yunxi to stand up for Mu Ling'er, defraud his bank, and provoke Mu Ling'er to owe him a huge debt with his gold card? If it weren't for the fact that he was heavily in debt and was being pursued by Kangan Private Bank, would he have colluded with Uncle Cheng to kidnap someone? How could he have fallen to such a state? How could he have taken a fancy to Mu Ling'er?
Ning Cheng was waiting for him to meet him, and he was also waiting for Ning Cheng to wake up so that they could settle this score!
Mu Ling'er couldn't convince Han Yunxi to return his indenture contract, so he could only pin his hopes on Ning Cheng.
"Of course it counts! When have I ever not kept my promises to you? "Ning Cheng asked in return.
A cold smile appeared on Jin Zi's lips. He didn't say anything and just reached out his hand.
"Jin Zi, that matter hasn't been settled yet. Isn't it a little too early to ask for my indenture contract?" Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked over.
"Mu Ling'er has already agreed to marry me, and she's already told her sister," Jin Zi replied.
Ning Cheng laughed loudly. "You've already settled her? That girl might tell the princess the truth at any time. When that happens, even I won't be able to protect you! "
Before Jin Zi came over, Mu Ling'er had chatted with him for a long time. He knew all about how Jin Zi had threatened her.
When they had agreed to "settle her", it wasn't such a threat!
This time, Jin Zi finally knew why Mu Ling'er was looking for Ning Cheng. He suddenly laughed out loud. Even Ning Cheng who knew him best didn't know what he was laughing about. It was obviously a cold laugh, but people could hear a trace of desolation in it.
"Let that girl go. Within three months, I'll think of a way with you to get your indenture contract back." Ning Cheng said seriously.
"Why should I believe you?" Jin Zi retorted Coldly.
"When have I ever lied to you? Ning Cheng's voice also turned cold.
Of course Jin Zi knew that Ning Cheng would do what he said, but he still rejected, "I can't do it!"
Ning Cheng questioned, "Is it fun to force a little girl like this?"
"I didn't force her!" Deacon Jin immediately denied, "She can tell Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye the truth at any time. I didn't stop her!"
"Jin Zi, you're taking advantage of that girl's kindness!" Ning Cheng rebuked angrily.
Jin Zi was also angry and stood up, "I didn't force her to be kind to me!"
Perhaps he was waiting! Waiting for her to be unkind, waiting for him to give up.
When he had already tried his best and still couldn't make himself give up, he could only wait, wait for someone else to sentence him to death. Otherwise, what else could he do?
Ning Cheng had never seen Deacon Jin so agitated. He looked at Deacon Jin for a long time and finally asked indifferently, "Why?"
"Ning Cheng, you haven't met yet. You won't understand." Jin Zi sat down.
Ning Cheng was completely silent and didn't say anything.
Jin Zi didn't sit for long before he stood up, "Goodbye!"
Ning Cheng finally spoke, "Jin Zi, I don't care about the matter between you and Mu Ling 'er, but we can still talk about the slave contract."
As soon as he said this, Jin Zi sat down with great interest, "It seems that you didn't find me today because of Mu Ling 'er."
Ning Cheng stood up and asked seriously, "How about forming a Tiger Army? How about we trample Northern Li with my cavalry? We can attack all the way to Wintercrow. Once we reach Dongwu, I'll ask the princess to give you the slave contract. "
Jin Zi was a smart person. As soon as he heard the words "Tiger Army", he knew that Ning Cheng wanted to use him to form a Tiger Army to rope in Jun Yi Xie's Black Clan subordinates in Northern Li and even Wintercrow.
If they could rope in Jun Yi Xie's subordinates, the northern expedition would be much easier.
"Help me pay off my debt to Kang Gan Bank first, then give me ten million taels. Otherwise … no deal. "Jin Zi immediately laid out his conditions.
Ning Cheng laughed, "Okay!"
Mu Ling 'er didn't know about the agreement between Jin Zi and Ning Cheng. For the past few days, she had locked herself in her room. She didn't see Deacon Jin and didn't follow Qi Brother in and out like before.
She didn't know if Deacon Jin missed her. Gu probably didn't. He basically stayed near Han Yunxi, either watching the sky from the roof or sleeping in a tree.
While they were waiting for Deputy General Xue's arrival, Northern Li's political situation changed drastically. A few small cities near the Three-Way Monastery even surrendered on their own accord. Meanwhile, some of Jun Yixie's subordinates abandoned their armies and fled, while others swore to die for revenge. There were even those who set up their own factions and surrendered to the Northern Li emperor.
The Northern Dynasties Emperors took the opportunity to recruit many local powers and made preparations to delay the war. As long as they delayed the war until winter, the troops from the south wouldn't be able to acclimatize and the weather would worsen. At that time, there might be a chance for a turnaround.
Baili Yuanlong quickly found out about the Northern Dynasties Emperors' strategy. It was for no other reason than the fact that Noble Consort Xiao was still favored.
The Northern Dynasties Emperors' favored consort was Baili Yuanlong's daughter and Baili Mingxiang's older sister. She was originally Baili Mingxia, but changed her name to Xiao Mingxia and faked her birth. She had been hiding in the Xiao family since young, entering the palace ten years ago and gaining favor five years ago.
Long Fei Ye prepared to use Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to lure out Bai Yanqing while interrogating Helian Zuixiang, who had been hiding in the Han family for many years. Unfortunately, even when they used Yi 'er to threaten her, she didn't reveal any details about Bai Yanqing.
On this day, a secret letter from Northern Li arrived. Long Fei Ye glanced at it and hesitated. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Han Yunxi asked. Long Fei Ye promised that he wouldn't really hurt Yi 'er and would only use Yi' er's name to scare Helian Zuixiang. Han Yunxi didn't ask him to bring Yi 'er back.
"Helian Zuixiang committed suicide and left you a letter written in blood." Long Fei Ye handed over a white handkerchief from the letter.
Han Yunxi only frowned. In her opinion, an ingrate like Helian Zuixiang deserved more than death. However, when she saw the words written in blood on the handkerchief, her heart still felt stifled.
There were only a few words written in blood. They didn't explain anything, not even an apology. They only begged her not to tell Yi 'er the truth and to continue being Yi' er's older sister.
Han Yunxi sneered. "She's really smart. She's so sure that I'm worried about Yi 'er?"
"Exactly. She knows you very well. This is your weakness." Long Fei Ye replied cruelly.
Han Yunxi snorted. "No, this is my strength!"
Long Fei Ye smiled helplessly. He wanted to take this opportunity to attack this woman, but he couldn't. In fact, this wasn't her strength, but her ability.
Kindness and benevolence were indeed good points, but doing good required not only good qualities, but also sufficient ability. So, kindness and kindness were often a kind of ability.
Han Yunxi made a prompt decision. "Bring Yi 'er back."
The Shadow Guard on the side asked in a low voice, "Princess, what if the child asks about his mother? Just say … his mother sacrificed herself to save him? "
"No! I don't want Yi 'er to feel guilty! " Han Yunxi was resolute. "Tell him that the Northern Li royal family kidnapped them and wanted his mother to be a spy. His mother would rather die than submit and sacrificed herself! Tell him not to cry, and to be proud of his mother. "
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi with interest, but didn't say anything. Seeing that he didn't say anything, the Shadow Guard immediately left to carry out the order.
Han Yunxi turned around and realized that Long Fei Ye was looking at her.
"What's wrong? Is it inappropriate? "His gaze always made her feel guilty.
"Give me a son. I want to see how you teach him." Long Fei Ye smiled.
He liked his daughter because her daughter resembled her. He wanted his son because he wanted to watch her train his son. Had he never thought of having children because he wanted to have children?
Han Yunxi walked over and hugged Long Fei Ye's waist. She looked up and smiled at him. "If your son knew that you wanted him because of this, he definitely wouldn't be close to you!"
Long Fei Ye shook his head. "He can only be close to me."
In other words, he didn't mean that he wasn't allowed to be close to outsiders, but he wasn't allowed to be close to Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi couldn't wrap her head around it for a moment, because Long Fei Ye's kiss had already landed on her lips.
Even Long Feiye wanted nothing more than to drown himself in her gentleness and beauty for all eternity. Unfortunately, just as he carried her to the bed, a servant reported at the door, "Your Highness, Princess, Deputy General Xue has arrived and is requesting an audience!"
Deputy General Xue's speed was unexpectedly fast!
Long Fei Ye pressed on Han Yunxi, his expression ugly. Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. She said meaningfully, "Your Highness, the bigger picture is more important."
Long Fei Ye glared at her and didn't move …
