I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue: [Wow, the emperor actually wants to use intelligence to make a deal with Nan'an! This is a really smart move! ]

The system agreed: [Hey! Our emperor is also a man who can use his brain! ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin: Hmm... Sister, your words seem to praise me, but also seem not to praise me...

Nan'an pursed his lips tightly, staring at Emperor Yuan of Jin with sharp eyes, as if waiting for his answer.

Emperor Jin Yuan was not in a hurry and said calmly, "As expected of you, you are of the royal blood of the Southern Barbarians! You guessed my thoughts with just a few words!"

"Haha, yes, you are right. I do want to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Nan'an thought that it was just as he expected.

After learning his identity, the Nanman Emperor did not kill him directly, and did not even use torture when interrogating him, which shows that they did not want to hurt him.

Just now, the Southern Barbarian Emperor used the truth about his father's death as bait to make him surrender, so he guessed that they must want to get something from him.

Now that his thoughts have been confirmed, he feels a little relieved.

A deal means that he is still useful. In this way, he will have the opportunity to uncover the truth about his father's death, and he will be safe for the time being. He cannot die before his father's revenge is taken.

On the night of the fire in the Prince's Mansion, my mother was in the tunnel of the Prince's Mansion, anxiously waiting for my father's return, but there was no sign of my father until the early hours of the morning.

At that time, his mother's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding came over her. She guessed that things might have gone to the worst outcome, so she took him away from the capital without hesitation.

By the time they settled down again, the news of their father's death had already spread to every corner of Nanman.

For many years, my mother has always harbored hatred in her heart and was determined to avenge my father.

To this end, she was not only extremely strict with herself, but also practiced martial arts diligently every day, hoping that one day she would be able to kill her enemies with her own hands.

He was even stricter with his son.

Since he was a child, he has been learning martial arts from his mother, day and night.

When he was a little older, he began to accept various tasks arranged by the Dark Jade Organization, including hunting down those who had betrayed the Prince's Mansion.

As a result, he had been on the brink of life and death for a long time, and had long since developed a strong character and good martial arts.

The last time he was attacked by the Southern Dynasty's secret guards when he was off guard, he realized that his martial arts skills were still insufficient and he was still far from being able to face real masters.

The reason for coming to the Southern Dynasty this time was because one of the former rebels in the Prince's Mansion mysteriously disappeared after the raging fire, and for some unknown reason he escaped to the capital of the Southern Dynasty and hid there.

Perhaps that person was afraid of being hunted down by Xiao Shuang'er, so he spent a lot of money to hire many experts to protect his own safety.

However, despite such difficulties, he still fought alone and tried his best to kill the traitor, but at the same time he was seriously injured and finally fainted on the street in North Lane.

Maybe it is really my father’s spirit in heaven that is protecting me!

He was extremely lucky to be rescued by Xu Qiang, and was gradually infected by his honest and upright character. He unconsciously began to miss the "home" in Beixiang that could only provide shelter from the wind and rain.

After thinking it over, Nan An asked without hesitation: "I won't beat around the bush, kid. As long as it's something you can show off, I will hand it over without reservation."

"But the prerequisite is that Your Majesty must keep your promise and tell me the truth about my father's death after the matter is accomplished."

Emperor Yuan of Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Nan'an thoughtfully, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Unexpectedly, although Nan Li was dead, this boy's filial piety towards him was not affected at all. This must have been due to Yu Lianxin's careful teaching.

Then, Emperor Yuan of Jin said loudly: "Okay! In this case, I will speak frankly!"

"I want to know how to cross the fog at the border between Nanman and Nanjiang?"

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Is there an extinct volcano called Yanhuoshan standing in the mist?"

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Nan'an's eyes.

Why did this emperor of the Southern Dynasty only want to know this information?

That information was insignificant news to anyone in Nanman, even a three-year-old child knew it!

But Nan'an thought again and suddenly understood.

The fog was indeed mysterious and it was very difficult for people from the Southern Dynasties to pass through it.

But for the Southern Barbarians, it was a piece of cake.

That's why he felt that this information was too insignificant.

After thinking it through, Nan An no longer hesitated and said decisively: "I am willing to exchange! However, I hope to get a guarantee. Can Your Majesty reveal some information about the person behind the scenes in advance!"

Emperor Yuan of Jin suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were deep and sharp, and he secretly marveled in his heart, what a cunning boy, he actually tried to get some information from him!

If this kid uses the information he revealed and combines it with his own knowledge to guess who the mastermind is, then the initiative of this transaction will probably fall into the hands of this kid.

At that time, he might take advantage of the situation and put forward other conditions!

It seems that the key to getting through the thick fog is most likely the southern barbarians, so this guy is so confident in bargaining!

I have to admit, this guy does have some brains!

Qin Yue also asked the system in her mind: [Sister, that fog is the one you told me about last time, right? Will it be difficult to travel through it?]

The system explained: [Host, that fog is indeed an insurmountable barrier for the people of the Southern Dynasty. As long as you take a step into it, even if you only touch a trace of fog, you will immediately fall into a deep coma! ]

[Also, the duration of coma varies. Some people wake up after an hour, while others may need a day or two to wake up.]

[Although the fog doesn't kill people directly, it prevents people from entering. Moreover, if you encounter any accidents during the coma, such as wild animals in the mountains or enemies, your life will also be in danger! ]

Qin Yue asked in surprise: [Ah?! There is such a strange fog! Is there any way to get through it?]

This fog is so strange, just like the legendary miasma, but even more terrifying than miasma. Just the slightest touch will make people faint.

Whenever Qin Yue thought of that scene, in which a group of people just stepped into the foggy area and fell to the ground the next moment, he felt creepy and a chill ran through his whole body.

Speaking of Yanhuoshan, Qin Yue suddenly remembered something and asked impatiently: [Sister, the red flame snake and the fire dragon grass seem to be inside Yanhuoshan. ]

[If we can successfully pass through this fog, we may be able to obtain these two items. In this way, there is hope that Brother Yuan's narcolepsy will be cured! ]

The system affirmed: [Host remembered correctly! These two things are indeed in the fog. And the secret to passing through the fog is actually on the southern barbarian...]
