After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The next day, Meng Qianqian got up late.

When she went downstairs, the lobby of the inn was already full.

Half of them were guests who stayed last night, and the other half were new faces who had just arrived this morning.

There are knights, businessmen, and nobles.

Ayimulan, Mo Yi and Shan Cheng sat at the innermost table on the east side.

Aimulan changed the full-face mask to a half-face one, revealing her deep eyes, red lips and delicate chin.

She said that it was inconvenient to eat when covering herself up so tightly.

Aimulan was eating mutton soup with steamed bun slowly.

It looks like we’re almost done eating.

Meng Qianqian walked over slowly and sat down opposite Aimulan.

Mo Yi and Shan Cheng sat on her left and right respectively.

When Mo Yi saw Meng Qianqian, his eyes were no longer eyes and his nose was no longer a nose.

Meng Qianqian smiled at him and said, "Morning, Lord Mo."

Mo Yi glared at her.

Meng Qianqian didn't say hello to Aimulan. She picked up the almost cold mutton soup in front of her and drank it slowly.

Shan Cheng smiled and asked, "You got up late this morning. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Meng Qianqian said indifferently: "If I let you sleep in a pile of sand, you can sleep well, but I can't. After all, I was also brought up in a pampered environment."

"Oh?"

Shan Cheng smiled meaningfully, "Were you also so spoiled when you went to the border to fight?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Yes, I pulled a cart of dried meat to the war. Why don't you ask how much military pay my Meng family donated to the court?"

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that Lu Yuan treats you well."

Meng Qianqian took a bite of steamed bun and said, "Don't attribute all the credit to men. I live a good life because of my own ability. It has nothing to do with others."

"Humph."

Mo Yi snorted in disdain.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Of course, with Lord Mo here, I am willing to give up the credit. I wonder if Lord Mo will take care of me when we enter the desert?"

Mo Yi wanted to draw his sword again.

Shan Cheng reminded him, "Mo Yi, this is not good. It will affect your practice. Last time in Xicheng, you lost your mind. Have you forgotten the lesson?"

"That's not it..."

Mo Yi wanted to say that it was because this woman was too irritating.

The words came to my lips but I held them back.

Since I knew that this woman was deliberately trying to provoke me, I shouldn't have been fooled.

"Princess, I'll go get the horses ready."

He left the inn.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Aunt, you have to keep an eye on your guards and don't let them turn their backs on you one day."

Ayimulan put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Let's go quickly after we finish eating."

Meng Qianqian: “I haven’t finished eating yet.”

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

Aimulan issued an ultimatum and left the inn.

Only Shan Cheng and Meng Qianqian were left at the table.

Shan Cheng looked at her with a smile.

Meng Qianqian ignored his gaze and continued to eat happily.

Shan Cheng: "Mo Yi will never betray the princess. If you want to sow discord between the two of them, I advise you to give up on this idea."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "The purpose of provoking others is not necessarily to succeed. Sometimes you just want to disgust the other person."

Shan Cheng: “…”

Meng Qianqian ate slowly, not only to compete with Aimulan, but also to find an opportunity to leave a secret signal.

It was a pity that Shan Cheng was watching her from beginning to end, making it impossible for her to do anything.

"Would you like another bowl?"

Shan Cheng pointed at the empty bowl in front of Meng Qianqian and asked.

"No need."

Meng Qianqian wiped her mouth and said, "Let's go."

Shan Cheng asked Meng Qianqian to go first.

Meng Qianqian's eyes moved slightly.

What a cautious guy.

When they went to the desert, they changed their mounts, each with a camel.

"Did you bring enough food?"

Meng Qianqian asked while riding on a camel.

Shan Cheng pointed to the several large bags on the camel and said, "It's enough for you to eat. I've brought water too."

"Let me see."

Meng Qianqian said.

Mo Yi said coldly: "You are a hostage, do you really take yourself seriously?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Your princess didn't say anything, why do you care?"

Mo Yi choked.

Meng Qianqian opened the bag, which contained steamed buns, naan, dried meat, barley, curd...even her favorite dried fruits.

Shan Cheng smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "It's just so-so."

A little boy came bouncing over. He looked very good, except that he was a little tanned and had a snot bubble hanging from the tip of his nose.

He had been staring at Meng Qianqian intently since she started unpacking her bag.

Until the aroma of dried fruits wafted out, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

These dried fruits were candied by Meng Qianqian herself along the way, soaked in a lot of honey and flower petals, and are very sweet.

"Want to eat?"

Meng Qianqian asked him.

The little guy nodded.

"Hand out."

Meng Qianqian said.

Mo Yi said sternly: "Don't give it to me!"

Meng Qianqian frowned: "A child just wants to eat some dried fruit. It's mine, I can give it to him if I want!"

Mo Yi gripped the Tang sword tightly.

The two of them immediately became hostile to each other.

At this time, many guests who were also planning to enter the desert looked towards the two of them.

Aimulan winked at Shan Cheng.

Shan Cheng understood, grabbed a handful of dried fruit and put it in the child's palm, and said with a smile: "Take it and eat it."

The child thanked him happily, sat on the stone bench at the door with the dried fruit in his hands, and began to eat with relish.

Shan Cheng nodded to Aimulan.

Aimulan covered her face with a veil and said, "Let's go."

Sisters Meng Qianqian and Yaer also put on veils.

It is not to cover the face, but to protect against wind and sand.

There were several teams traveling with them.

Meng Qianqian asked Shan Cheng: "Are they going to Liuli Island too?"

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "Yes."

Meng Qianqian paused and asked curiously, "Isn't it also because of the rumor about the so-called Seven Stars in a Line?"

Shan Cheng said: "Guess."

Meng Qianqian said: "I guess so, but not everyone wants the same thing as you do."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "That's hard to say."

Meng Qianqian said: "Maybe they just went there to join in the fun."

Shan Cheng said: "The world is bustling with people, all for profit. The world is bustling with people, all for profit. Ordinary people who seem ordinary may have greater ambitions than anyone else."

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "Are you talking about yourself? You are loyal to the princess, but you can't be really loyal? With your talent, you have a good chance of assisting anyone, right? Have you ever thought that since she was defeated by me, it means that maybe she is not destined to be that way? Do you want to consider assisting someone more powerful?"

Shan Cheng laughed and said, "You can't sow discord between Mo Yi, so you come to sow discord between me and the princess?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Did you provoke me?"

Shan Cheng rode on a camel and looked towards Liuli Island: "If you mean Chen Long, he has the purest Loulan royal blood flowing in his body, and he is indeed qualified to compete for the king of the Western Regions. Unfortunately, you don't know what I want."

Meng Qianqian: "If you tell me, I will know."

Shan Cheng: "Meng Qianqian, you are not qualified to know what I want now."
