Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 240 Suspicious Clouds
"Why?" Xiao Ji was equally puzzled, and asked: "Our Shen Kingdom is now the most powerful country in the world, and you are a wise monarch who loves talents very much. It is a talent to make an exception and earn under the family, but you should not be so arrogant."

Shen Muyu nodded, and said hesitantly: "I am dedicated to recruiting talented people. As long as they are talents, they will be reused when they come to Shen Country. Regardless of Xiao Muying's female status, if she is really a counselor who seeks fame, There is no reason to refuse my several invitations, but..."

He lowered his eyes, secretly thinking about all the possibilities that Xiao Muying would make such a move, but he couldn't figure it out anyway.In the end, he could only say with a wry smile: "That girl is very hostile to me, and she is so abnormally unwilling to come to our country to serve. Could it be that she has a grudge against me..."

While talking like this, Shen Muyu suddenly froze for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ji, and said thoughtfully: "Is she enmity with me? Or does she have a rift with Shen Guo?"

Xiao Ji thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Didn't your majesty ask your ministers to investigate her life experience? According to the results of the investigation, she has no possibility of any intersection with you and us Shen Guo."

Shen Muyu paused and asked, "What's the result of the investigation?"

Xiao Ji replied: "I came here today to report this matter. My lord, I sent our people from Wenguoli to visit Shudi several times, and found out that Xiao Muying was from the surrounding area of ​​Shudi Loucheng. It is said that her parents had She is an orphan, and grew up eating a lot of food. She often hung out in the market wells of Loucheng when she was young, and she was very familiar with the gangsters in the city. According to those gangsters, although Xiao Muying is a woman, she has always been They all have a bold and generous temper, and no one of them regards her as a girl. Later, when she was a little older, she left Loucheng and began to travel around the world, and the punks in Loucheng never saw her again. .”

The more he listened, the more Shen Muyu frowned. He quietly listened to Xiao Ji's words, and asked softly: "Is this true? It's just that the gangsters in Loucheng know Xiao Muying? The people in the city What about households?"

Xiao Ji replied: "Our people visited several households in Loucheng, but no one had any impression of Xiao Muying's name. Later, some gangsters mentioned the small village that was suspected to be Xiao Muying's hometown, so our people went to the village. During the interview, people in the village said that there was indeed a couple surnamed Xiao who came out of the village more than [-] years ago because of sudden illness and both died, leaving behind a young girl, but the girl left the village when she was seven or eight years old. , and no one can tell what the name is, but they all called the child a bitter child at that time."

Shen Muyu's eyebrows became more suspicious, he pondered for a long time, and asked softly: "Then when was Xiao Muying born, did you find out?"

"No." Xiao Ji shook his head and said, "No one can tell. If it's just an inference, she should be around 20 years old this year."

Shen Muyu paused for a moment, and continued to ask: "Is the news you found true?"

Xiao Ji nodded affirmatively, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is the news confirmed by my servant after several unannounced visits by our people. It must be true. And even if Xiao Muying deliberately cheated, she has no such ability to let her own background There is no trace of fraud."

"Then..." Shen Muyu became more and more puzzled in her heart, and she really couldn't figure it out.

If Xiao Muying's life experience is true, then there is no possibility of any intersection between him and her, why is she so hostile to him?
Shen Muyu thought for a long time, but she could only temporarily attribute Xiao Muying's actions to her having other plans.

He was silent for a long time, looked up at Xiao Ji, and said softly: "Xiao Ji, you go to contact Young Master Cheng of Yunguo, and ask him to try to attract Xiao Muying into his residence."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Ji nodded, bowed down and saluted, "Then I'm going to deal with this matter, so I'll take my leave."

"Okay." Shen Muyu responded, he watched Xiao Ji with thoughtful eyes, and soon walked out of the hall, his face was clouded with suspicion, which could not dissipate for a long time.
