Chapter 362: Feigning Compromise

"Thank you very much, Miss." Sikong Xiao nodded to her gratefully.

Eunuch Shi hurriedly took the box, opened it, took out a pill and gave it to Sikong Xiao first.

"Since you are free, we are going to Luofeng Country now, so we will leave first!" Beitang Yuan said.

Beitang Honggang ran away, and they had to chase him.

"Cousin Prince, after you catch those two people, can you come and see me?" Sikong Xiao asked him with some earnestness in his eyes.

In this world, only this cousin treats him sincerely. Whenever he is in the most difficult time, he always appears in time.

"Try your best!" Beitang Yuan nodded at him, "Those two could come back at any time, so you have to be careful."

"Your Majesty, I will go find someone first." The royal guard said and ran out to find someone.

"You should take good care of your injuries. Nanyang Kingdom cannot be in chaos." Beitang Yuan said to Sikong Xiao again, and left with Xie Jinglan.

********

The capital of Luofeng Kingdom, the Imperial Palace.

This time, they did not let Bai Cang investigate first, but went straight into the palace.

Although this palace was also set up with a formation, it was a small formation that they could break with just a wave of their hand without alerting anyone.

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan stood on the roof of a palace, looking at the large palace opposite which was still lit.

"Everything is normal here. Didn't those two people come to find Mu Wenye?" Xiao Jinzi said in the space.

"Just because it looks normal on the surface doesn't mean it's normal behind the scenes." Although Xie Jinglan said this, she was also confused in her heart.

At this moment, a team of royal guards came patrolling with torches.

As if sensing a strange aura, the leader stopped and looked around.

The two people on the roof used invisibility talismans, but did not deliberately conceal their breath.

【His alertness is quite sharp.】

[This person's strength is at the late Jindan stage. If Mu Wenye hadn't sensed it, he would have died hundreds of times already.] Beitang Yuan said.

The group stood there for a while, and when they saw nothing unusual, they left.

"Walk."

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan dodged and flew into the palace opposite.

There were many palace servants on guard outside the palace gate, but before they could react, they were pinned down by talismans.

In the palace.

Mu Wenye leaned against a small soft couch, took a sip from a wine jar, and then stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.

There were many empty wine bottles lying in disorder on the table in front of him and on the floor.

At this time, the palace door was opened.

"Get out of here! Who let you in?" Mu Wenye scolded without even looking at them.

"Emperor Luo Feng is such a refined person! It's already midnight, and he's still drinking here alone?"

Suddenly hearing a cold and familiar voice, Mu Wenye sat up with a start.

Looking at the two people walking in, he thought it was an illusion and rubbed his eyes with his hands, but the two people were getting closer and closer.

"Beitang Yuan, Xie Jinglan...it's really you!" Mu Wenye stood up immediately, extremely excited. "You guys are here! I knew you would come. I finally waited for you."

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan couldn't help but frown when they smelled the strong smell of alcohol.

"It's good to be an emperor. You can have fun whenever you want. But it's so boring to just drink like this. Why not call some beauties to entertain you?" Xie Jinglan said.

They were worried that he had been killed, so they ran here from Nanyang State in the middle of the night. They didn't expect that he would be so elegant as to drink a little wine here.

"Don't make fun of me, I just drank to drown my sorrows." Mu Wenye pointed to the seats outside, "I knew you would come, and I've been waiting for you to come."

Suddenly, Beitang Yuan's eyes became fierce, and he raised his hand suddenly, and a cold light shot towards the top of his head.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a muffled groan, a black shadow flashed out from the beam and tried to rush out the door.

Xie Jinglan also moved, and the Hunyuan Divine Sword chased after her.

"Puchi!" The magic sword hit the figure and fell down.

"Bang!" A man in black crashed into the table full of empty wine bottles, and the sword pierced his heart.

Xie Jinglan drew her magic sword and looked at the man's clothes. "He's from the Middle World."

Mu Wenye's face turned pale. He didn't expect that there was someone hiding above his head.

"Damn it, they must be the ones sent by Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng."

"From what you said, those two people have already come to see you?" Xie Jinglan's face turned cold. "It seems that you have reached some kind of agreement?"

Sikong Xiao was thrown into the water dungeon with wounds all over his body, but this guy was unharmed and was drinking leisurely here. I would never believe that they didn't have any conspiracy.

She pointed her sword, the tip of the sword against Mu Wenye's throat, "Tell me! What benefits did Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng give you?"

The Lei and Han families helped those two people control the Guangyuan Continent because they wanted to get people from here and send them to the Middle World as laborers. If Mu Wenye also became a running dog of the Lei and Han families, then she would chop off his head today.

"They did give me a lot of benefits." Mu Wenye smiled bitterly, slumped down on the chair, and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. "If I hadn't pretended to agree and just played along with them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you and would have been dead long ago."

Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan looked at each other.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain." Xie Jinglan retracted the sword.

"Ten days ago, Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng brought people to see me and asked me to send them 5,000 young and middle-aged people and 1,000 children under the age of ten who have been tested for good talents every year.

Then the benefits they gave me were spirit stones and gold, and they could even put forward any conditions.

I knew those two weren't good people, and asking for so many people was definitely not a good idea. I immediately became suspicious and asked them why they wanted so many people and what they were going to do.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I asked this, the people they brought pointed their swords at me and told me fiercely that I should just do as they said and not ask any other questions. If I didn't do it, I would die.

I felt that those people were very powerful. That person just stood in front of me, but I couldn't withstand his pressure and vomited blood. I knew that something was wrong.

"These people all have ruthless expressions on their faces, their strength is unfathomable and beyond imagination. They are definitely not from our Guangyuan Continent. If I don't agree, the sword at my neck will really chop off my head." Mu Wenye slowly recounted the story.

"Five thousand young and strong men, and one thousand children under ten years old who have been tested to have good talents?" Xie Jinglan frowned.

We know that the Lei and Han families want their young and middle-aged people to go mining, but what about the thousand children? What do they want these children to do?

"Yes, this is very suspicious." Mu Wenye was very puzzled about these people wanting children.
