Chapter 276 The Emperor's Wrath

Ji Xun didn't know how many people were implicated and died in a fire in the palace. Since he got the job and got paid, it meant he had to pay some price, including the price of life.

At this time, Yuan Shaoqiu was slowly tasting the fine wine brought out from the palace with the flagon in his hand. The most he said was that he regretted not bringing out more jars of fine wine. You have to have so many hands to hold more.

Sitting at the table, Ji Xun was carefully cutting open a yellowed book, which he found in the wine cellar. If it wasn't for this book, their original plan was to open their stomachs and drink wine all night before leaving Therefore, Ji Xun was used as a coolie, and he carried nearly two hundred catties of wine out of the palace alone, not counting the altars that the two of them transported to the secret passage.

"Hey, can there be treasures hidden in a broken book? Look at how serious you are." No one paid attention to him, Yuan Shaoqiu felt very boring, and even drinking lost the original taste, so he could only talk to himself.

Ji Xun didn't reply, and he was relieved until he cut open the book completely, revealing the old sheepskin map inside.

Glancing at the unrecognizable ancient characters on it, Ji Xun's eyes flashed with joy, and he put the sheepskin map close to his body, and Yuan Shaoqiu took a sip of wine while watching it.

"Could it be that I'm right, is it really a treasure?" Yuan Shaoqiu asked with his tusk.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded and explained: "I don't know how many copies of this map, plus this one, I have a total of three in my hand, one is obtained from Tianlan Nation, and the other is from Sirius Nation."

"So to say that if you want to collect all these things, I'm afraid you have to travel all over the country. This is quite troublesome." Yuan Shaoqiu rubbed his head. What he feared most in his life was trouble, just as he was most afraid of it when he was a child. Hate endorsement, but some things have to be done.

"Indeed." Throwing the remnants of the book aside casually, Ji Xun said indifferently: "Fortunately, this map was mentioned in the royal secret, but in the records, hundreds of years ago, all parties in the mainland had I searched for it, but found nothing. Some things in historical changes have long been difficult to distinguish between true and false. Even if there is such a treasure, it may not be possible to collect all the maps. After collecting all the maps, it may not be possible to find the treasure. Waste it on this."

"Calling treasure hunting a waste, you are probably the only one in the world." Yuan Shaoqiu was not keen on this, so he said dispensable: "When you want to find it someday, remember to tell me, I will definitely find it." Walk all over the mountains and rivers for you."

Ji Xun smiled lightly, this is his best friend, even if the friendship has not lasted for many years, it is not in vain that he has been looking for him for many years.

"For the time being, you'd better continue to be your wine man and roam the rivers and lakes. You have never been enthusiastic about court affairs, so why bother to fetter your life for these vulgar things. What's more, getting this treasure doesn't mean you can keep it." Hold on, maybe it’s the beginning of the disaster.” Although Ji Xun was delighted to collect a few maps, he was not attached to the treasure.

Seeing that Ji Xun was so appreciative, Yuan Shaoqiu threw a pot of wine to him very generously, and said with a smile: "This is the Ji Xun I know. Vulgar things like gold and silver are more fulfilling if they are earned by themselves. No one dares to covet it easily."

Ji Xun smiled but said nothing, and after drinking half a jug of wine with Yuan Shaoqiu, he asked, "Have you ever gone to see your mentor?"

Yuan Shaoqiu's face darkened, and he shook his head after a long while and said, "I won't look for him, other places are the safest."

Yuan Shaoqiu has been with the prince since he was a child, and he is half a year older than Ji Xun, and he has learned martial arts well. He had an adventure when he led Ji Xun's pursuers away, and this is how he has today's skills.

But Yuan Zhenghan is a pure scholar. The reason why Yun Wansheng allowed him to live until now is to catch Ji Xun and those who are loyal to Ji Xun. He is surrounded by people Yun Wansheng sent to follow.

Ji Xun knew this, Yuan Zhenghan knew it as the person involved, how could Yuan Shaoqiu, who grew up in the palace since childhood, not know.

"I'm ashamed of my teacher." Ji Xun raised his head and took a sip of wine. Unless he can regain the country, there will be no way for Yuan's father and son to reunite, and he can only watch Yuan Zhenghan drifting away and suffering.

"These are what a courtier should do. My father has no regrets." I have no regrets either.Yuan Shaoqiu added silently in his heart.

After the two were silent for a while, Yuan Shaoqiu asked, "When do you plan to do it?"

"Before the vassal kings raise their troops." Ji Xun didn't hide anything.

"Soon." Yuan Shaoqiu sighed. Although he didn't recognize Ji Xun these years, he has been secretly helping Ji Xun to do some things, but Ji Xun never knew about it. The jug respected Ji Xun, and Yuan Shaoqiu said, "I wish you success."

"It's us." Ji Xun replied.

"Yes, we succeeded, haha! We must succeed." Yuan Shaoqiu laughed heartily.

The war in Yan country is imminent, and although Tianlan country has no civil war, it is also full of dangers. After Mu Ting wanted to take Su Mianyue back to the palace, Gu Ling completely cut off his affection for him, and only waited for Gu Qinglin's instructions. She will attack Mu Ting, and would rather destroy Mu Ting with her own hands than give him a chance to be with Su Mianyue.

Mu Ting didn't know Gu Ling's decision. Ever since Mu Chen came back from a serious injury to report that Su Mianyue had been robbed, and he couldn't even figure out the identity of the other party, Mu Ting's mood had been in a violent stage.

They sent out wave after wave of people to search for Su Mianyue, and finally sent people to infiltrate Linzhou City to inquire about the news. They learned that Su Mianyue had gone back to Linzhou City, but she left with her maid again for unknown reasons. There was really no news at all.

Mu Ting was going crazy, finally got the news about Su Mianyue, but it turned out that his life and death were unknown.

Although Mu Chen was not punished, he was grounded in Prince Rui's mansion, which is enough to prove that Mu Ting cared about Su Mianyue's affairs. He obviously suspected that Mu Chen deliberately let Su Mianyue leave, and did not hurt Mu Chen seriously. Concern once made people suspect that Mu Chen had lost his Sacred Heart.

Not long after, they were sent to Hengyuan Country to find out why Su Mianyue left Linzhou City, and soon got the news.

Su Mianyue once appeared at Wan Yanlin's empress ceremony, but no one saw her leave the palace, and she seemed to disappear from the world, why didn't Mu Ting understand?
"Wanyan Lin, you are really good. The woman who took me away not only didn't treat her kindly, but treated her as a taboo. Do you really think that I dare not attack your Hengyuan Kingdom?" Mu Ting was furious.

As soon as the emperor was angry, his corpse floated thousands of miles away, so he immediately ordered someone to poison and murder the queen mother when Wan Yanlin was in Tianlan Nation as a hostage, and ordered to send troops to attack Hengyuan Nation, intending to bring Hengyuan Nation into Tianlan Nation's territory To avenge the Queen Mother.

Don't say that the queen mother is the mother of the country. In this era where filial piety is the sky, parents who are killed must take revenge and let the other party pay with blood. It's just that the emperor's way of revenge is more tragic.

At this moment, Wanyanlin, who was listening to the news from Zhongji, had murderous intentions towards Su Mianyue, didn't know what Hengyuan Kingdom was about to face, and the anger in his heart almost made him lose his mind.
