The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 148 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang

Everyone was talking about it, but only the National Master and Mu Yunxiao remained silent.

A moment later, a servant walked up to the side of Emperor Wei, lowered his head and reported softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that Miss A'luo has figured out the trick, and the Kongtong Mirror has begun to show its magical power." Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Emperor Wei's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"It's just that the Queen Mother heard that night-shining pearls can help cure diseases, so she placed many of them in the yard, which is why there is that light. Come on, don't worry about these trivial matters, let's raise our glasses and drink together!" The Emperor of Wei tried to cover up the past and quickly changed the subject.

However, most people present did not believe his explanation: Why not just say that lightning from the sky happened to fall into the Queen Mother's palace? That way everyone could also benefit from it. But no one dared to question him in person.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, as soon as the people sent by the Emperor left, A'Luo couldn't wait to ask Ayina: "Sister, can this Kongtong Mirror only emit light? What other uses does it have?"

Ayi Na smiled and answered patiently: "This Kongtong Mirror has many wonderful uses! I once heard from our Queen that this mirror can reflect everything in the world. It can not only see through the past and present, but also predict all kinds of changes in the future. In addition, it has a magical ability to peek into other people's hearts and minds, allowing us to understand their deepest thoughts and motives. With such a treasure, we can seek benefits and avoid harm, subdue demons and monsters, and save the whole world from danger."

Ah Luo was stunned and asked curiously, "Then how can we make it work to subdue demons and save the world?"

Ayi Na smiled and said, "Little fool, this Kongtong mirror needs to be integrated with its owner and completely obey the owner's orders. Only when the owner issues an order will it act according to the owner's wishes. When you truly master it, it will do its best to help you realize whatever you want in your heart."

A'Luo was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She murmured to herself, "Wow, it's so magical!" Her eyes were shining with excitement, as if she had already seen herself bravely using the Kongtong Mirror to save the world in the future.

"Yes, it is said that this mirror possesses mysterious power and is the key to activating the Kunlun Divine Weapons! According to legend, these Kunlun Divine Weapons were once powerful enough to terrify the world, but now they have fallen into a deep sleep and have lost their former might. Only this magical mirror can allow them to gather powerful divine power again and awaken their long-sleeping souls. Once these weapons are awakened, they will become unparalleled weapons, driven by their masters and displaying earth-shaking power." Aina said with a gleam in her eyes, as if she was full of hope for the future.

Luo seemed to not quite understand what was said, but she nodded obediently, indicating that she understood the importance of it.

Seeing this, Ayi Na did not show any impatience. Instead, she patiently explained, "When the Kongtong Mirror recognizes you as its master, you will naturally understand the mystery. Today, I will tell His Majesty the Emperor Wei about this matter, and he will definitely pay great attention to it. From now on, you just need to concentrate on your cultivation."

"Okay, sister, I will definitely work harder to practice! It's getting late, I want to go back and study it carefully." After Luo finished speaking, she left with the maid beside her.

The dinner was in full swing, and halfway through, Bai Xinyin finally arrived at the Summer Palace. As she walked, she apologized to everyone present, saying that she was delayed because of something.

However, no one took it seriously or paid too much attention to it.

Only the national teacher gave him a strange look.

However, Bai Xinyin didn't seem to care about his gaze. She was concentrating on the food in front of her, enjoying it as if no one was around.

After finishing the meal, she raised her head and added casually, "Tomorrow at noon, I hope that the State Master will come to the inn for a chat! By then, I will personally cook some authentic Zhao dishes for the State Master to taste."

"Of course, of course! It's a great honor to eat the food cooked by the Ninth Princess." The corners of the imperial teacher's mouth slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile.

That smile seemed to hide endless meaning, making people wary.

Early in the morning of the second day, the sun shone through the gauze-like morning mist and sprinkled on the streets and alleys of the Wei capital.

It was almost 9 o'clock at this time. Wei Wuji, the great general of Wei State, had already led a group of generals and soldiers to wait at the city gate to welcome the arrival of the Xiongnu king.

At the same time, the scene in the inn where the Zhao people were staying was quite different. It seemed that everyone was still immersed in dreams, and even the maids and guards seemed to be trying to catch up on their sleep.

The people in the inn seemed to be accustomed to these people's habit of getting up late, and no one came forward to ask or disturb them.

Especially last night, after returning from the palace, the people of Zhao State gathered in the third prince's room to drink wine, and the noise continued until midnight.

Before going to bed, Bai Xinyin specifically asked the staff at the post house to prepare some fresh vegetables and meat the next day so that they could host a banquet for the imperial master at noon. Therefore, the staff at the post house naturally thought that they were just sleeping in.

In the desert north of the Wei State, there is an area called the "Ship of Death". The environment here is harsh and dangerous, but it is also the only way to the mysterious place Danxue Mountain.

On this difficult and dangerous road, a team is galloping forward.

On the horse at the front of the team sat a man in white, with an upright posture and elegant temperament, as if he had descended from the fairyland, which was amazing. And next to him sat a woman on a red horse, with peerless beauty, as pure and elegant as a fairy.

These two people are Mu Yunxiao and Bai Xinyin.

Bai Xinyin looked at the sheepskin in his hand, then looked at the surrounding environment. According to the guidance of the map above, the direction should be correct.

"It seems that the Imperial Master won't be able to eat the meal prepared by Ayin at noon today?" The Third Prince teased while riding behind.

"He wants to eat, but I don't have the time to cook for him. There are only a few people who can eat my food!"

"You know what, Ayin, your strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west secretly really made them let down their guard!" Huangfu Yan praised.

"I'm just going to try my best. As long as the puzzle works, it'll be fine. If it doesn't, don't I have a second plan?" Bai Xinyin laughed.

They started on their journey since early morning.

Last night, in order to deliberately confuse the people in the inn, she let the others go through the secret passage with the help of the secret guards. She and Mu Yunxiao played several roles in the third prince's room, playing finger-guessing games, drinking, and shouting. They were very busy and happy. It was funny to think about it.

The two of them were busy until the third watch, and finally showed up at the inn, ordered the people in the inn to buy food, and deliberately said: "These people have a really bad alcohol tolerance, let them sleep in the third prince's room, and then went back to their rooms.

Then the two of them changed their clothes, put on invisibility talismans, left the city as quickly as possible, and caught up with the vanguard.

At this moment, I am really tired.
