Both worlds are like dreams

Mo Xingyue looked at her bright smile, her heart full of envy, "To be honest, I envied you the first time I heard my brother mention you. You can do whatever you want and travel the world. I really hope I can make my own choices."

"Don't worry. The marriage may not be successful."

"why?"

"Because there is also Tianqi. If Beiling marries Xiyue, it will definitely be stronger than Tianqi. In addition, it is a mortal enemy of Dongchu. Tianqi will be attacked from three sides. Do you think they will just let it go? But in this case, the situation in Beiling will be a little complicated."

Mo Xingyue pondered for a moment and immediately figured out the connection. "If we want to disrupt the marriage, we can only assassinate the Crown Prince of Xiyue. This can not only prevent the marriage, but also cause Xiyue and Beiling to go to war. Kill two birds with one stone."

"However, there are dozens of martial arts masters guarding the Xiyue delegation this time. It is not that easy to assassinate the Xiyue Crown Prince."

Mo Xingyue felt more at ease after hearing this. "No matter what, I still hope that Prince Xiyue's mission will go smoothly. If he really gets into trouble in Beiling, I'm afraid the two countries will really go to war."

Xue Huang listened to her and felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was for a moment.

"Why are you in a daze?" Mo Xingyue asked.

"Nothing," Xue Huang said, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly after you finish eating the mutton."

"I can stay a little longer with my maid as cover."

"Are you sure? It is said that this place will be haunted after dark." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid," Mo Xingyue said, "I often stole here when I was a kid. I'm more familiar with this place than you."

"I heard from Brother Qinglan that Fifth Brother stayed here when he was a child. Why?" Xuehuang asked.

"The year when fifth brother was born was a year of severe drought that had not occurred in a hundred years. Father once offered sacrifices and prayed for rain at Xuanyuan Terrace, praying for rain from heaven to save the people from danger. Fifth brother was born at that time. That day was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain. Father was very happy and named fifth brother Ruilin, which means rain from heaven, a good omen. But it didn't rain that day. Instead, the drought continued. Those people in the observatory said that fifth brother's birth blocked the rain that was supposed to fall. Father was angry with fifth brother and wanted to send him out of the palace. Fortunately, mother pleaded for him, so he stayed in the palace, but he was thrown into this cold palace." Mo Xingyue's eyes were already full of tears when she talked about the past.

"The yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the changing of the four seasons, how can a little child control them? Your father is so confused!" Xue Huang said.

Mo Xingyue sighed and said, "Fifth brother has been in this dilapidated cold palace for ten years, so when I was young, I knew he was suffering here, and I always came to see him secretly. Later, I became more and more favored by my father, and he finally remembered that he had a son in the cold palace, so he released him."

"I never thought that Fifth Brother, who is so gentle and carefree, had such a rough childhood." Xue Huang sighed. "But now he is valued by your father, so he can finally get what he deserves."

"In this palace, you are lucky to be alive and grow up. But I am also very happy to see that Fifth Brother is getting better and better."

"Okay," Xue Huang said, "It's getting late, you should go back early."

"Okay." Mo Xingyue quickly finished the remaining mutton, and put away the Nine Links and Luban Lock like treasures, "Next time, next time I will definitely beat you!"

After saying that, he left with his head held high.

Xue Huang smiled, packed up the food box, and then made sure that Mo Xingyue was not discovered in the dark before leaving the Tai Chi Hall.

Under the bright moonlight, her figure was like a butterfly flying quietly, shuttling through the streets.

Her thoughts were a little confused, so she found a quiet and secluded rooftop and sat down.

A voice came from the gem, "What's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have overlooked something." Xue Huang said.

"So you've already made a judgment intuitively, but your brain hasn't caught up yet?"

"correct."

"Not bad. That's progress."

"What's the use? It still doesn't solve the problem."

"Of course, the problem cannot be solved if it hasn't arisen yet."

"Nonsense." Xue Huang rolled her eyes.

"My perception has recovered a lot recently, and there are many more people on this street who know martial arts than before."

"Xiyue brought a large number of warriors as envoys, especially the leader of the Tianjian Sect. Perhaps they are martial artists who came here because of his reputation." Xuehuang said.

"Not quite right."

"What did you find?"

"Don't hide away here," the voice in the gemstone said with a hint of disgust, "Go look around on your own."

Xue Huang shrugged helplessly, jumped off the roof, and walked around the street.

After this round, she did find some problems.

There are indeed many more martial arts masters in Shangyang City, but most of them are deliberately hiding their strength. For example, a master who is obviously agile is selling pork with a kitchen knife.

For example, people who know each other pretend not to know each other, and people who seem not to know each other act in unison.

Xue Huang followed silently behind several men in ordinary clothes. As expected, after they arrived at a secluded place, these people seemed like different people. There was only indifference in their eyes. It was unknown what they confirmed with each other, and then they dispersed and hid in the city again.

She followed them again, but these people were scattered in different directions, so she could only pick one at random and found that he had actually left the city.

Xue Huang watched him leave without following him. She walked back along the street and found a few people who looked very skilled in disguise heading towards the city gate.

"You're right," Xue Huang said, "I'm afraid there will be a big commotion in Shangyang City."

"This movement must be related to the Crown Prince of Xiyue. Be prepared for the worst."

"You don't object to my involvement in the affairs of the Beiling royal family?" Xue Huang asked in surprise.

"Will you listen if I say I object?"

"No." Xue Huang said simply.

The boy's voice was full of helplessness, "So why am I talking nonsense?"

Xue Huang smiled and walked towards Jinxiu Tower. However, she happened to pass by Jingmeng Garden. Before she reached the gate, she saw a familiar figure walking into the main gate of Jingmeng Garden.

"I seem to have seen that person somewhere before."

"Of course," the boy said, "He is the butcher who sold meat in front of the Nuanyang Tavern just now."

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, feeling surprised. The butcher just now had unkempt hair and rough cloth clothes. Although he was a master pretending to be a master, he was completely different from the handsome man in plain black clothes, with long hair tied up high and a fair face.

It's really hard for such a handsome man in his early twenties to dress himself up like a sloppy butcher.

But what Xue Huang was more curious about was why he appeared here.

Without saying a word, she quietly jumped onto the tree and secretly observed the situation in the Dream Garden.

Xue Huang sat on the tree patiently for about an hour, during which time the man in black did not come out.

In addition, a dozen people who knew martial arts entered Jingmeng Garden and did not leave until it closed.

Xue Huang could also confirm one thing, these people gathered here, they must have some connection with Xu Yao. Now that the Crown Prince of Xiyue was about to arrive, it was not difficult to guess his intention to mobilize a large number of masters at this time.

"I finally know what I overlooked." Xue Huang frowned. "If assassinating the Crown Prince of Xiyue is killing two birds with one stone for Tianqi, then the same is true for Xu Yao."

"That's right." The boy didn't seem surprised.

Xue Huang immediately jumped down from the tree and hurried towards Jinxiu Tower.
