Chapter 139 Princess Honglian
"Are you deaf? Let Mo Yu come out to see me!"

At the gate, Princess Honglian stood there menacingly, her hands on her hips, her eyes full of arrogance, her peach-pink dress fluttering in the cold wind.

At this moment, two Qin Mo disciples hurried out of the Chamber of Commerce.

Both of them were dressed in dark black cloth, simple but neat, and their steps revealed the agility of military service.

Since Qin Mo and Han Mo had similar clothing styles, Honglian took a quick glance and concluded that these two people were also Han Mo's disciples without even looking closely.

She glared at them with her almond-shaped eyes and raised her hand to stop them.

As luck would have it, the one who was stopped was the disciple Qin Mo who was holding the wooden box!

With huge profits in hand that could advance the textile industry by an era, Qin Mo's disciple's nerves were already very tense, like a guitar string that could break at any time.

Before going out, Xiang Lize's decisive order was still circling in his mind. At this moment, he was suddenly stopped by Honglian, and the most elite Iron Eagle Warrior of the Qin Dynasty subconsciously released his edge.

With just one glance, Honglian felt as if an invisible sharp blade had chopped through her brain.

Seeing this, another Iron Eagle Warrior frowned and tugged at his companion's sleeve. The man also realized that he had overreacted, and his sharpness suddenly retracted. He glanced at Honglian expressionlessly, neither apologizing nor saying anything more. The two of them quickened their pace and disappeared around the corner without looking back.

Honglian only felt that the man's eyes were fierce, and didn't notice anything different. She covered her head and snorted coldly: "Damn you, you dare to look at me like that! Believe it or not, I will go back to the palace and report to my father, and I will chop off all your heads!"

"Oh, you are so angry. Who offended our little princess?" A soft but teasing voice came from inside the door, and Yan Lingji walked out slowly.

Although she was very reluctant, she still had to appease this spoiled princess in order to avoid being punished by copying "Mozi" ten times.

Recently she has been learning Jin-style bronze inscriptions. The complex strokes give Yan Lingji a headache, and she still hasn't understood many of the words in "Mozi".

Not to mention that the punishment of copying in this era was not to write with a brush, but to carve it on bamboo slips with a chisel, stroke by stroke, and it was not in simplified Chinese!
Copy it ten times? Yan Lingji imagined herself carving until her hands cramped, and suddenly felt that it would be better to kill her.

"Who are you?" Honglian frowned and looked at her.

For some reason, upon seeing Yan Lingji's enchanting face, Honglian felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust well up in her heart. Perhaps it wasn't quite true, but rather like she was seeing her destined enemy.

After her mind was affected by the Iron Eagle Warrior's God-Slaying Sword, her emotions were already unstable, and now it was even more intense. Her rationality was like a candle in the wind, about to go out.

Yan Lingji tilted her head with a smile and said cheerfully, "I'm just here to watch the fun. But someone asked me to ask, why does the little princess want to see our commander-in-chief?"

"Why should I tell you?" Honglian sneered and raised her head to ask, "I'm here to see Mo Yu. What qualifications do you, a servant, have to question this princess?"

Yan Lingji narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, her smile remained unchanged, but a glimmer of fire flashed in her eyes.

She was originally a barbarian from the land of Baiyue, and her temper was as fiery as fire.

Although he had managed to read some books and curbed some of his anger under the guidance of Qin Shi Mo Yu and Mo Jia's love, how could his hot temper be smoothed out so easily?

Her expression suddenly turned cold. "Since Princess doesn't want to say anything, forget it. Guiyi Chamber of Commerce is busy today, so I won't play with you anymore—I'm closing the door!"

Disciple Han Mo heard the order and turned around without hesitation to push the heavy black wooden door.

The King of Han’s favorite princess was just a princess.

The name is noble, so it is enough for everyone to just pretend to be respectful and deal with it.

For a force of the level of Guiyi Chamber of Commerce, as long as they don't go too far and make King Han feel that they are disrespecting his authority, Princess Honglian will have no way to deal with them.

The reason why we didn’t just close the shop and kick people out was simply because there was no big boss to take the blame.

"hateful!"

Seeing the door slowly closing, Honglian gritted her teeth in anger and stomped her feet hard. The soles of her shoes collided with the bluestone ground, making a crisp sound.

She was simply bored today, so she sneaked out of the palace to see who this Commander Han Mo was, the one her brother was obsessed with and Xiao Liangzi praised so much.

Unexpectedly, he was turned away before he even got in.

The Guiyi Chamber of Commerce, like other major powers, outwardly showed respect for her, but in reality, a cold indifference emanated from it. Originally, Honglian could have withstood this level of dissatisfaction, but now, provoked by Yan Lingji's provocation and the multiple stimulations of her traumatic mind, how could she hold back?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I think about it when I step back, the more I lose!
"I'm a princess, who dares to stop me?"

Honglian roared angrily and rushed towards the door that was about to close, trying to force his way in.

The two Han Mo disciples who were closing the door were stunned. No one had expected Princess Honglian to suddenly burst through the door. For a moment, they froze in place, not daring to slam the door shut and hurt her, nor to let her in. They could only stand there, bewildered.

Yan Lingji turned her head and looked back, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

A portal is like the face of a power, and even though Honglian is a princess, she cannot mess around with it.

Nowadays, the trend of supporting scholars is still prevalent. If the master humiliates the minister, the minister will die. Even if the retainer has the best temper, it is impossible for him to let Princess Honglian "break in" at this time.

Yan Lingji frowned slightly and cursed in her heart: "This girl is really looking for trouble."

She flashed, instantly blocking Honglian's way. She raised her slender hand, and an invisible force of energy entangled Honglian's footsteps. The force was just right, not hurting her at all, but making it difficult for her to move.

Honglian was stunned. Instead of coming to her senses, she became even angrier when she saw that it was Yan Lingji standing in her way. She immediately began to struggle, screaming, "Let me go! How dare you stop me?"

Yan Lingji raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Little princess, stop making trouble. The commander-in-chief is really busy. I won't be able to explain if you continue to break in." Her tone was relaxed, but she secretly added some strength to her hands.

Honglian's face flushed red, and it was unclear whether she was angry or was being strangled by the invisible energy.

"The Heavenly Demon Control Technique the Commander taught me is indeed very useful. It's invisible and colorless, and more suitable for this kind of situation than the Fire Charm Technique." Yan Lingji suddenly felt playful.

Over the past month, Qin Shi Moyu had been using his favorite rote learning method on her. What he had poured into her pure and unpolluted cerebral cortex was not only Mozi, but also some martial arts learned from the war maniacs and heroes.

Unfortunately, the many powerful secret manuals that Mo Yu has at hand all require the use of the brain to practice, and this good thing does not belong to a certain illiterate person.

After studying for so long, I have only barely mastered a weakened version of the Demon Control Technique.

Although it cannot be used against masters, it is still easy to use it to control a weakling like Honglian who has never practiced martial arts.

Yan Lingji narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about how to teach this arrogant princess a lesson without anyone noticing. She tightened the energy in her hands slightly, but suddenly felt a heat wave coming from behind her.

She turned her head and saw Qin Shi Moyu appeared behind her at some point.

He was dressed in a sleeveless shorts, his muscles wiry as iron, his thick arms radiating an oppressive sense of power. His 1.85-meter-tall frame stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and the scorching heat from the forge, mingled with a faint odor of iron, made it clear he had just stepped from the furnace.

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess comes to our Guiyi Chamber of Commerce in the future, she should be treated as a VIP and no one should stop her." Qin Shimoyu glanced at Yan Lingji and said lightly to Han Mo's disciple beside him.

He had originally planned to steal Korea by marrying Princess Honglian, and although this was a later plan, it was crucial.

Now that Honglian has come to his door, how could he refuse her?

The energy dissipated, and Honglian regained her freedom, but she didn't calm down at all. In her eyes, she still had the hateful witch Yan Lingji in her eyes. She rushed forward regardless of everything and punched Yan Lingji in the face.

Yan Lingji did not dodge or evade, and did not make any movement. She just turned her gaze towards Qin Shimoyu with a faint smile.

A hint of confusion flashed across Qin Shi Moyu's eyes, but he did not let his woman be humiliated. He reached out and grabbed Honglian's slender arm firmly.

Seeing the fist stop just inches away from her face, Yan Lingji raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile.

When Qin Shi Moyu pinched Honglian's forearm, he had not yet come out of the master forging mode, and he instantly realized that Princess Honglian was mentally hurt.

Although the injury was very shallow and could be healed naturally by a good night's sleep, it made her behavior more emotional.

"I see." Qin Shimoyu's eyes flickered with a subtle fluctuation, and he secretly activated the puppetry technique that Zhan Kuang jokingly called "thread-pulling play". The invisible thread extended into the imperceptible gap in his mind.

Honglian was startled, her eyes becoming misty. She subconsciously ignored Yan Lingji, who had just gnashed her teeth in hatred. She slowly turned her gaze towards Mo Yu and murmured, "Are you Mo Yu?"
