Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 113 Light it up and burn it clean

Xu Ming took a look at the dark sky, then entered the inner room, and said to the motionless figure behind the desk: "Master...are you staying in Suzaku camp tonight?"

Xu Junyan didn't look up, but was still staring at a piece of paper on the desk.

He casually replied: "No problem, you go back to the mansion first."

Xu Ming nodded and left the study.

Only then did Xu Junyan continue to look at the urgent report on the desk that was delivered with the grain and grass transferred from Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, this urgent report was a copy of the Xiao family's letter intercepted by Jiangnan's staff.

Thinking of the Lanling Xiao family, Xu Junyan let out a low laugh.

I had already expected that the downfall of Prince Xuan's Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River would inevitably lead to the situation where the Lanling Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River became the dominant family in the south of the Yangtze River.

After going to the south of the Yangtze River by himself, he even stabilized his several hidden stakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally he would not miss the act of staring at Lanling Xiao.

These days, the Xiao family naturally has a lot of actions secretly.

Now Xiao Ziyan of the Xiao family is busy preparing for his marriage with Princess Huaiqing in Luoyang, this letter from the Xiao family...is for him.

Lanling Xiao's...

Xu Junyan slowly put down the note in his hand.

Today's Great Zhou Dynasty is not stable enough, and it is even more inappropriate at this time to move these famous but ready-to-move gentry masters with large sums of money.

However, many prominent gentry have already become dependent on the shade of their ancestors.

If it is a family that knows the current affairs and prefers to live in a corner, it will naturally be tolerated.

But if at this time, there is still delusion in the heart to despise the imperial power, then it is not far from being destroyed.

This time the Xiao family still cherishes the decision of the eldest princess Qing, if the Xiao family really bows to the Zhou royal family, then these small actions will be meaningless, how can the Xiao family do things that have no intention of family? .

After pondering for a moment, he put the paper in the candle and burned it up, and then picked up his pen.

At this time, the subtle sound of the tiles on the eaves being touched continued to drift in the cold winter wind, and it kept approaching the study room with lights on.

The black-clothed masked man on the eaves is extremely agile, and a soft sword wrapped around his waist reveals the hilt inlaid with rubies, which looks radiant and brilliant under the smoky moonlight. .

She stopped on the roof of the study house full of lights and lightly lifted a tile.

After she saw the situation below clearly, her almond eyes suddenly widened.

Is it him? !
The man I met at the tea house that day.

It's just that he was wearing coarse clothes that day, and he was still so imposing that he couldn't take his eyes off him.

Mu Nan looked carefully at the man sitting in front of the desk.

He was wearing a stone-blue brocade robe, and the elegant bamboo patterns on it couldn't hide his cool and stern aura. His black hair was half tied with a hosta, giving him an air of elegance.

Look inside that house again...

The furnishing of this room does not allow ordinary people to enter, but he is sitting here...

Thinking of his aura that is different from ordinary people...

This is the extraordinary and noble spirit that can only be cultivated by holding a lot of power.

Could it be...he is actually the person who holds the Suzaku camp? !
Mu Nan's mind was shocked when he thought of this.

But at this time, the man behind the desk turned slightly sideways, his brows were slightly frowned, his thin lips were slightly moaned, and there was a trace of vigilance on his well-defined features.

He raised his head abruptly, but saw the uncovered tile.

"who?"

Before Xu Junyan finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he was already holding the long sword hanging on the wall in his hand.

In an instant, he had turned out of the room by the window.

Mu Nan's expression changed drastically after hearing the extremely cold words, and just as he recovered, the handsome and extraordinary man was already standing not far from him.

Seeing the long sword in his hand, she came back to her senses, stood up quickly, and drew out the soft sword wrapped around her waist.

Xu Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Exploring the Suzaku camp at night...you are so brave."

Mu Nan looked at the retreat behind him, then calculated the distance between himself and him, turned around and was about to take a step.

"Want to go?"

Xu Junyan's face darkened, but his figure was extremely fast. After a while, the long sword was already on Mu Nan's neck.

"Visiting the barracks at night is a capital offense."

After Mu Nan turned around, he quickly stepped aside.

Then he curled up and rolled under the eaves in the darkness.

Xu Junyan sneered for a moment, and the long sword in his hand had already pinned the clothes behind Mu Nan.

Mu Nan used up all his strength regardless.

With a tearing sound, the sound of the cloth being torn apart was sharp and piercing in the dark night...

Mu Nan suddenly felt a chill behind his back!
The clothes on the shoulders had been cut by the sword!

When she panicked, half of the black cloth on her face fell off.

She was actually a woman with a coquettish look!
Xu Junyan's eyes darkened, and then he stopped walking.

At the moment when Xu Junyan was stunned with a sullen face, Mu Nan glared at him, bit his lip and pressed the cut on his shoulder, and quickly disappeared into the darkness...

After quickly escaping from Suzaku's camp, she kicked the stone on the side of the road hard.

hateful!

She covered her shoulder with her hand and felt the coolness on her shoulder.

Thinking of the more handsome man, her cheeks turned red in an instant...

At this moment, Xu Junyan looked at the darkness with awe-inspiring expression.

It's actually a woman visiting the Suzaku camp at night?

What kind of identity is this woman...

The coolness of the night wind made Xu Junyan's eyes deeper...

After returning to the remote mountain villa, Mu Nan turned around and turned into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to jump off the wall, she bumped into the woman who was carrying several bowls of noodles.

The woman heard movement on the courtyard wall, but when she looked up, she saw a man in black holding a sword!
"Catch the thief...killed..."

The sharp shout made Mu Nan narrow her almond eyes, and she was even more angry when she was already in a state of turmoil.

With a movement of her figure, the soft sword in her hand drifted to the front of the woman without the slightest hesitation.

The movement of his hand was extremely sharp, and the soft sword that cut Tie Runi cut the woman's neck in an instant.

The woman was still wide-eyed in horror at this moment, and the tray in her hand had already hit the ground.

In an instant, the bowls of noodles were turned over on the ground, and there was a little heat around the woman's body, but it made the winter night even more chilly.

The old man heard the old woman shouting in the house, and hurried out of the house.

As soon as he approached, he saw that the old woman had already fallen to the ground, with blood on her neck, staining the noodles all over the floor...

"you!"

The old man pointed at the blood-stained but calm Mu Nan, and fell to the ground in horror.

Mu Nan was annoyed in his heart, he raised his sword a few steps forward and finished him off.

She turned to the silent night in front of her and said lightly: "Come here..."

Before the words fell, several black-clothed dark guards on the roof at the side had already appeared around Mu Nan.

The few people turned a blind eye to the two corpses on the side, they just cupped their hands respectfully and said, "What is the princess' order?"

Mu Nan glanced at the huge villa, "This Zhuangzi...don't need to keep alive."

As he said that, Mu Nan shook off the blood on Jian's body, turned around and walked into the room with a displeased face.

Those hidden guards pulled out their knives or swords and scattered towards Zhuangzi.

Well-trained secret guards, killing is also an extremely quiet movement, the long breathing sound in this villa is stagnated under the sword.

The coldness of the winter night makes all this even more silent...

Before dawn on the second day, a group of people headed by Mu Nan had already stood in front of Zhuangzi's gate.

Mu Nan stayed up all night because of the encounter with that man last night, and his face was still a little gloomy at this moment.

She glanced at the villa, and ordered: "Light it up and burn it clean."

Several hidden guards quickly bowed to answer, took out the fire pockets in their sleeves one after another, and walked into the yard quickly.

These hidden guards found all the oil in the kitchen very quickly, and poured it on the corpses all over the floor.

A hidden guard threw the fire bag in his hand on the pile of corpses, and the flames covered the group of people who were still terrified after death.

The rest of the hidden guards scattered around and set the whole Zhuangzi on fire one after another.

"Leave someone to watch here, burn it clean before going to Luoyang City, don't leave traces that shouldn't exist."

After finishing speaking, Mu Nan got into an extremely luxurious carriage under the service of A Li.

At this time, she had already changed into a luxurious palace dress woven with gold and silver threads. The patterns on it were exquisite and dazzling, showing her high status.

The princess' guard of honor went to Luoyang City with great fanfare.

As soon as the luxurious and exotic carriage entered the city gate, Luoyang city was already surrounded by many civilians.

All of them stared at the car curtain as thin as onion wings with their eyes wide open.

Behind the car curtain is Mu Nan with beautiful makeup and elegant appearance.

"Come and see! It's a princess from a foreign race!"

"Tsk tsk... Don't say it... This foreign princess looks beautiful..."

"Sent such a beautiful princess? Could it be for marriage?"

"Haha... My country is powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty, what is a mere princess from a foreign race?"

It was noisy outside, but behind the gauze-like curtain, Mu Nanduan sat in the car without looking sideways, dignified and luxurious.

She was looking at the prosperity of Luoyang City in her eyes, but there was an ambiguous smile on her lips.

It seems to be a sneer, and it seems to be a sneer...

This end is Princess Anxi's demeanor, which is completely different from yesterday's appearance of wearing black clothes, being driven to nowhere by Xu Junyan and being outraged.

Early in the morning, the news that the Anxi envoy had entered Luoyang City reached the palace.

Emperor Yongning was stunned for a moment after getting up from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Afterwards, several orders were issued in succession, and a series of matters were arranged.

Emperor Yongning frowned slightly, but there was an unbelievable smile on his lips.

Unexpectedly, Anxi sent a princess here?

Outside the palace gate, Princess Huaiqing represented the royal family of the Zhou family and led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to bring Anxi's tribute team into the palace.

Although he already knew that it was Anxi's princess who was going to Luoyang as an envoy, when Mu Nan got off the carriage, Huaiqing still let out a low cry.

Such a beautiful appearance!

That appearance brought out the luxury of her whole body to the extreme.

Princess Huaiqing is also wearing a luxurious palace dress, but compared to the radiant dress on Princess Anxi, it is really nothing worth mentioning.

After everyone met with the national ceremony, because of Mu Nan's special status, Huai Qing took him to the Hall of Yihe where the banquet was held in the harem.

The rest of the envoys were taken by the Minister of Rites to the Hall of Yonghe where the banquet was held.

After being seated, even Concubine Li brought Princess Huai Shu, who had not been out of Yingxia Hall for a long time, into the Hall of Yihe.

"This is Her Royal Highness Princess Anxi?"
