Moonlight and wind

"Father," He Yanqiu knelt in Fenghua Hall, looking at the angry He Batian, "This matter was caused by me. My brother did this to protect me. I must save my brother!"

"Nonsense!" The deafening monkey roar made Fenghua Hall tremble. "I have already sent people to capture Qiu Dahong, but that bastard He Lingxiao got ahead of my people and slaughtered Qiu Dahong's mountain! Even if we are right, we are no longer right now!"

"Master, fortunately the governor of Shahuang City is one of our own. The young master will not suffer any grievances!" said the counselor Li Xin flatteringly.

"Someone, tell Ximen Gui to beat that rebellious son to death!" He Batian's eyes widened with a horrifying expression, as if he wanted to eat someone!

"We are in a passive position now. If the young master only massacred people in Tuofeng Mountain, it would be fine. He could charge Qiu Dahong with treason and get away with it," strategist Lu Qixian thought. "Qiu Dahong was not a good person to begin with, but he can get rid of a threat to the people of Tuofeng Mountain."

"Humph," Li Xin sneered, "Strategist Lu does have a good plan!"

"I am not talented," Lu Qixian smiled and bowed, "I don't know what strategy Li strategist has, why not tell me about it."

Li Xin seemed to be waiting for this sentence. "It is indeed easy to deal with Qiu Dahong alone, but dozens of small organizations around here have been slaughtered by the young master. I am afraid that if this crime is reported to the Emperor, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"What does Li Strategist mean?" Although He Batian was very powerful, he was indeed a martial artist with no knowledge or strategy, which was one of the reasons why the Western Region warriors did not respect him. In order to make up for this shortcoming, he kept a number of strategists around him to give him advice.

"There is someone who may be able to save the young master's life!" Li Xin raised his eyebrows confidently.

"Who is it?" He Batian stood up from his seat and walked in front of Li Xin.

"Shan Zimo, the eldest young master of the Snow Shadow Hall of the Northern Kingdom!"

"Oh, Zimo, how can he save my Lingxiao?" He Batian moved closer.

Li Xin motioned He Batian to come closer and whisper something to him. After He Batian heard it, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Absolutely not!" He Batian waved his hand to refuse. "Let's not talk about it first. My Dragon Elephant Villa and Snow Shadow Hall have been friends for generations. Just talking about Zimo's identity, you can't do that!"

"Master!" Li Xin continued to flatter, "We need to use Young Master Shan's identity to save the eldest young master!"

"What are you going to do to Brother Zimo?" He Yanqiu asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Young master, are you planning to save your brother or send him to the execution ground?" Li Xin had a sinister look on his face, which made the simple He Yanqiu very scared.

He Batian was tempted, but he also understood that this would inevitably affect the relationship between Longxiang Villa and Xueying Hall.

"You want me to take the blame for He Lingxiao?" Shan Zimo sneered after hearing what Wu Yinji said, "Why? Did He Batian come to beg you?"

Princess Kirigakure smiled mysteriously and shook her jade finger gently, "He, that's another price!"

"Oh," Shan Zimo suddenly realized and leaned back in his chair, "You want to use me as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with He Batian!"

"It has to be Young Master Shan!"

"Hey, no need to compliment me," Shan Zimo deliberately made a humble gesture and waved his hand, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"

"Young Master Shan, will you agree?"

"That depends on what benefits the abbot can give me." Shan Zimo smiled with a hint of disdain, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and looked at the arrogant Kirinji.

"I, the master of the temple, allow you to open your tea shop in Meiyeyou City. How about that?"

Dan Zimo had already had this idea about the condition offered by Wuyinji, but he didn't know what price he would have to pay in exchange for the right to open a tea shop in Meiyeyou City.

Now, it’s delivered to my door!

"The conditions are not bad," Shan Zimo said cynically, fiddling with the jade pendant on his waist, "I can consider it!"

Wu Yin Ji smiled lightly, "First, you got the shop, and second, you did a big favor to Longxiang Villa. In my opinion, Master Shan, you should just be happy!"

"He Lingxiao killed the man, and he has been arrested. How can I take the blame for him?" Shan Zimo looked at Wu Yinji with a playful smile.

"Young Master Shan, you don't need to worry about these. You just need to plead guilty for him. The rest." Princess Wuyin smiled confidently, "We will naturally handle it."

"What if the Emperor wants to behead him?" Shan Zimo still had some concerns in his heart. Even though he felt that he might be able to return to his own world after his death in another world, he did not dare to try it easily.

"Then get engaged to Princess Jinyu as soon as possible and complete the marriage contract," Wu Yinji said firmly, "In Wu Kingdom, Emperor Wu dotes on his youngest daughter, Princess Jinyu. A few years ago, he issued a law to pardon all crimes of the new prince consort!"

"Good fellow!" Shan Zimo was somewhat amused, "You guys are really good at taking advantage of loopholes! Now that He Lingxiao has been arrested, even if I run back to Wudu now and ask Princess Jinyu to get engaged to me, it's probably too late!"

"Just go ahead, you don't need to worry about anything else!" Wu Yinji clapped her hands, and a maid walked out from the door behind her, holding a contract in both hands, and came to Shan Zimo, "If you have made up your mind, just sign it! Your tea shop will not be able to operate without Mei Ye You Shi!"

After listening to Kirigakure Ji's words, Shan Zimo put away his playful smile and looked seriously at the beauty in front of him who could read people's minds. It seemed that he could never keep secrets in front of her!

"Okay!" Shan Zimo picked up the pen and wrote his name on the contract. "The owner is still capable!"

"Let's set off immediately," Kirin-ji happily took the contract presented by the maid and smiled triumphantly, "I will ensure that you have a smooth journey. You can reach Wudu in just three days!"

Wuyinji was not exaggerating! After coming out of Meiyeyou City, it seemed that everything on the journey was giving them the green light, smooth sailing!

Regarding the sudden change of itinerary, everyone in the meeting tacitly did not ask any questions, but silently followed Shan Zimo and ran towards Wudu.

But there were only two of them, and they were both worried, so they spoke little along the way.

At night, the team rested in a nearby town. Shan Zimo came to the roof of the inn alone and lay there looking at the starry sky.

"So beautiful!" a gentle voice sounded.

Shan Zimo suddenly sat up, looked clearly, and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, waving his hand, "Come and sit down!"

Xuanyue tiptoed to Shan Zimo's side, sat down with her head down, looking very shy.

"I……"

"I……"

They both spoke at the same time, but didn't know what to say, so they looked up at the starry sky together.

"Miss Que!"

"Ok?"

"I like you!"
