After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

What does daddy need?

What will it be?

Meng Qianqian was confused in her heart, and her face showed a bit of confusion.

Gongsun Yanming had already guessed her identity, but he did not seem to tell Aimulan.

What is most lacking between people is trust.

Prime Minister Xun, Gongsun Yanming, King of Loulan, Ayi Mulan...

These people are in cahoots with each other, working together to exploit the merchants, but secretly want to gnaw on one more bone than others.

It is best not to be united, so that it is easier for you to find loopholes.

Shan Cheng pointed at the empty bowl on the table and said with a smile: "Since you guessed it was me, you still dared to drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine I gave you? Aren't you afraid that I might do something?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "The person has already fallen into your hands. If you want to do something, will you lack a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine?"

Shan Cheng smiled even more deeply: "What a unique woman you are. I can't bear to hand you over to the princess."

Meng Qianqian said: "Okay, how about you keep me as your beautiful wife?"

"Ha ha!"

Shan Cheng raised his head and laughed out loud.

The two maids standing outside the house looked at each other.

It was obvious that they had never seen Lord Shan Cheng laugh so happily before.

Shan Cheng stood up and said to Meng Qianqian, "You should have a good rest. We will be able to see the princess soon."

He left the house.

"Ah, right."

He turned around and said, "Just tell them what you want to eat, and feel free to order them around if you need anything. Don't be polite."

"Humph."

Meng Qianqian looked away indifferently.

After Shan Cheng left, she began to ponder his last words.

I will see Aimulan soon.

So, she is already on her way to Loulan?

Loulan is not far from Xicheng. If I were unconscious long enough, I might be in Loulan.

"You guys come in."

She said to the two of them.

Two maids entered.

Meng Qianqian asked: "What are your names?"

"Your servant Ya'er."

"My servant Mo'er."

The two answered one after another.

Only then did Meng Qianqian realize that the two were twin sisters.

“What is your name?”

she asked again.

Yaer stepped forward: "This servant is my sister."

Meng Qianqian asked: "What did Shan Cheng tell you?"

Yaer replied, "Master Shan ordered the two of us to follow the orders of the Tiger Guards and not to make any mistakes."

Meng Qianqian looked at the two of them and said, "So, you did whatever I told you to do?"

Yaer responded, "Yes."

Meng Qianqian asked again: "What if I ask you to let me go?"

Ya'er said without hesitation: "Then I will just follow your orders."

Meng Qianqian is not that stupid.

But Shan Cheng is an interesting person. He dares to give such instructions to the Yaer sisters, which shows that he is very confident in his vigilance.

Even if the door was open, she probably wouldn't be able to get out.

"I'm hungry."

She said.

Ya'er's expression relaxed, and she asked softly, "What does Yinhuwei want to eat?"

Meng Qianqian took in her expression and said calmly, "You guys make the arrangements."

"Yes."

Yaer went to order the kitchen to prepare food.

Moer stayed in the room to serve.

Meng Qianqian asked her where she was and how many days she had slept, and Moer answered them one by one.

Moer replied, "The Yinhu Guard has been sleeping for several days. We are on our way to Shanshan City. We will set out early tomorrow morning and will be able to enter the city in seven or eight days."

Shanshan City was the capital of Loulan.

I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes, I would find myself deep in the heart of Loulan.

This saves me the trouble of finding a place myself.

In addition to supervising her, Shan Cheng never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The material of her clothes was of superior quality, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine was top-notch, and even the meals prepared for her in the kitchen were very much to her taste.

After she had eaten her fill, she took a walk in the yard to digest the food and asked two maids to find her some books to pass the time.

Yaer took some storybooks.

"Your Excellency does understand me."

I even found out everything about her love for reading storybooks and prepared some for her.

"The young master is very careful."

Yaer said.

"Careful indeed."

Meng Qianqian had to admit, "Is your young master the princess's man, or the King of Loulan's man?"

The two did not answer.

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "It turns out that not all of them listen to me."

Yaer said: "Please forgive me, Yinhu Guard."

Meng Qianqian opened the storybook and said, "You guys go out. You don't have to wait on me. I want to be alone."

"Yes."

Yaer took her sister out of the house.

study.

Shan Cheng looked at Ya'er who came to report: "What did she ask?"

Yaer asked, "Ask the young master, are you the princess's man, or the King of Loulan's man?"

Shan Cheng smiled thoughtfully: "What a cunning woman, I almost fell for her trick, you should leave, and answer her questions truthfully in the future."

Yaer responded: "Yes."

Shan Cheng played with the wind chime in his hand: "Yinhuwei, I hope you won't let me down."

-

On the other side, Lu Yuan, Chen Long and his party also entered Loulan.

Several people dressed up as merchants and sold tea and silk from the Great Zhou.

After Shan Cheng was shot, the curse on Chen Long and Si Snake was lifted. After a few days of recuperation, the two recovered as before.

Meng Lang was riding on horseback, and his skin was chapped and his lips were cracked by the scorching sun.

He looked at the team that was moving non-stop, stretched out his hand and said weakly, "Say, should we stop and find a place to drink some water?"

No one ignored him.

Even Tan'er, who is usually chattering, has become silent these days.

After Meng Qianqian left, her heart seemed to be stolen along with her.

She had a serious face all day long and was no longer as playful as before.

Meng Lang looked at her, hesitant to speak: "Alas."

"Take a break."

Lu Yuan said.

Chen Long said: "I haven't found my sister yet."

Lu Yuan said: "The horse is almost worn out, we need to change horses."

Yu Chenglou also said: "Chen Longwei, I understand your feelings, but if we don't have a horse, our journey will be delayed, and besides-"

Chen Long interrupted him: "I know the way to Shanshan City better than you do."

Yuchenglou said no more.

His sister Yu Ruyan followed him on horseback.

He planned to drop her off in the next town and find a trusted confidant to take care of her so that she would not suffer the fatigue of the journey.

Meng Lang rode his horse to between Chen Long and Lu Yuan: "Are we really going to that Shanshan City? There is no evidence that she fell into Shan Cheng's hands. What if we are wrong and she was captured by someone else, or she escaped?"

"Isn't it too arbitrary to conclude that she will be taken to Shanshan City just based on a piece of paper sent by someone unknown?"

"We've been fooled quite a bit along the way..."

After he said that, he immediately covered his head to prevent being beaten by both his master and his brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the imagined beating did not happen.

"What do you think?"

Chen Long asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said: "What he said makes sense."

Meng Lang was stunned.

What did he hear?

His brother-in-law praised him for what he said and said it made sense!!!

On the third day after Meng Qianqian disappeared, they received a note from a little beggar with only one sentence on it - the person had been taken to Shanshan City.

He always felt it was a trap.

My master and brother-in-law also had doubts.

But after careful analysis, the two agreed that there was a high possibility that Meng Qianqian fell into Shan Cheng's hands.

Shan Cheng will take her to the capital of Loulan and hand her over to the Princess of Loulan for disposal.

"So, what's our plan next?"

"Go to Shanshan City."

Lu Yuan and Chen Long said in unison.

Meng Lang: "..."

-

After walking for a few more days, the scenery along the way became desolate, vast and endless.

Meng Qianqian could occasionally see vast grasslands and herds of sheep, like flowing clouds.

"Does Yinhuwei like Loulan?"

In the carriage, Yaer asked Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I like it, Loulan is so beautiful."

Yaer smiled and asked: "Can the Yinhu Guard stay in Loulan?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head.

Yaer asked in confusion: "Doesn't Yinhuwei like Loulan?"

Meng Qianqian said: "After I conquer Loulan, I can visit Loulan anytime."

Yaer was stunned.

Night falls.

They stopped on a grassland with no village or shop around.

After much difficulty, we found a herdsman's home and borrowed two tents from them.

Meng Qianqian asked for a big one.

Shan Cheng didn't mind either.

At night, Meng Qianqian was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

She woke up with a start, opened her eyes and sat up.

Yaer and Moer were sleeping on the floor and were not woken up.

The sound of horse hooves approached rapidly and stopped outside the tent.

At this time, the two sisters were still sleeping soundly, and Meng Qianqian knew that things were not simple.

"Has he been drugged?"

Meng Qianqian retracted her gaze from the two of them, "I'm really curious, what powerful person came that made Shan Cheng so cautious."

She lay back down, turned over, and went back to sleep.

About half an hour later, she was gently awakened by Yaer.

"Yinhu Guard, Yinhu Guard."

Yaer said, "Master Shan said that a distinguished guest has arrived, and he would like you to go to his tent and have a seat."

Meng Qianqian stood up.

Yaer took the outer robe and said, "It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Meng Qianqian put on a thick robe and went to Shan Cheng's tent.

Surprisingly, the first person she saw was Mo Yi, who was wearing a Tang sword on his waist.

She greeted him lightly: "Long time no see, how are you, Master Mo."

Mo Yi had no expression on his face and did not answer.

Meng Qianqian looked at the woman sitting in the tent: "Princess Loulan is too embarrassed to see anyone? Do you want to put on a mask?"

Aimulan raised her hand, took off the ghost mask on her face, and looked at Meng Qianqian calmly.

Meng Qianqian said, "Princess Loulan, I hope you are well. Lord Shan, this is your fault. The princess came in person, but you didn't even say hello in advance so that I could go out to greet her. I seem so neglectful and rude."

Shan Cheng stood on the other side of Ai Mulan. Hearing this, he turned the Bi Xiao in his hand and asked, "Do you have those?"

Meng Qianqian: "Pretend a little, there are still some."

Shan Cheng laughed.

Meng Qianqian looked at Ayi Mulan again: "It's not easy for the princess to stay in Shanshan City. Could it be that you came here specially to see me as a hostage? Then I am really flattered."

Ai Mulan said: "I know you sent them a message and asked them to go to Shanshan City."

Meng Qianqian's eyes moved: "Ah, so that's it."

She never passed any message to Lu Yuan and Chen Long.

Aimulan said this, it seems that Lu Yuan and his brother are already on their way to Shanshan City.

No, given Aimulan's cautiousness, he would not jump to conclusion without being absolutely sure.

Could it be that someone really passed the message to Lu Yuan and my brother?

Who is it?

Ai Mulan said: "Your plan will fail, because you will not go to Shanshan City at all!"

Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows: "Oh."

Ayimulan: "Aren't you curious about where I'm taking you?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I'm not curious."

Ai Mulan gave her a deep look and said, "You people from the Central Plains are always so hypocritical."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "This is called retreating to advance. I guess you must be eager to tell me our real destination now."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Aimulan said, "It's impossible for you to pass on the message to them anyway."

Meng Qianqian thought to herself that she had never handed it over before.

"We are going to Liuli Island."

Aimulan said.

Meng Qianqian was secretly shocked.

It’s actually Liuli Island?

The hometown of the Snake?

How did you get there?

Could it be——

Is it because of the rumor about the Seven Planets Conjunction?

On the night of the seven-star conjunction, the Saint of Xiye will come to Liuli Island again, bringing with her a huge secret.

Zishu wants the secret of Saint Xiye, does Aimulan want it too?

What exactly is this secret?

It has attracted so many people to fall for it.

Seeing Meng Qianqian was silent, Ayi Mulan asked Shan Cheng, "Did you mention the rumor about the Seven Stars in a Row to her?"

Shan Cheng said: "She didn't mention it, but I think she should have known it a long time ago."

Ai Mulan said: "In this case, I will speak frankly. Meng Qianqian, are you willing to help me become the king of the Western Regions?"

"Me? To assist you?"

Meng Qianqian blinked, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask this question? There is an irreconcilable hatred between you and me."

Ayimulan said: "You don't have to take Amushan's matter to heart."

Meng Qianqian smiled coldly.

Amushan?

Just one of these is not enough to pay the interest for the blood feud between my entire family of merchants!

"I just ask you one question, are you willing to assist me?"

Ai Mulan looked determined, "You don't have to answer me now, I'll give you time to think about it."

Meng Qianqian asked: "What if I don't agree?"

Ai Mulan said: "Then I can only kill you."

Meng Qianqian sneered: "You won't kill me. If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago. You know clearly that I can't help you. You are just stalling for time and want to take me to Liuli Island."

Aimulan's fingertips moved.

She said calmly, "You are very smart, Meng Qianqian. I really admire you. If you are willing to assist me, all past accounts will be written off. I will also grant you the supreme position. It is even possible for you to become the chief witch of Loulan."

"I am not interested."

After Meng Qianqian finished speaking, she stood up and left the tent without looking back.

Mo Yi held the hilt of the knife: "What an ungrateful woman!"

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "She is just too sensible, that's why she doesn't want to associate with the Loulan people."

Mo Yi frowned: "Why not kill her?"

"She can't die."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "She is more important than you think."

Mo Yi said disdainfully: "Isn't she the person that Lu Yuan and Chen Long care about? Can we still restrain them with her corpse?"

Shan Cheng said meaningfully: "Do you think the only people we want to contain are Lu Yuan and Chen Long? She is the key to the Seven Stars. Whether we can get the secret of Saint Xiye depends on how we use her to make a deal with Saint Xiye."
