Chapter 159: This mobilization of troops to hold the culprit accountable is the real purpose!
Mo Feng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and stammered,
"General... General, what are you doing..."
Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of jealousy in his expression, and said,
"Didn't you bring up this matter? Since you have doubts, then investigate the matter thoroughly. If he really has this habit, then let everyone know about it, so that he doesn't have to pretend to be a gentleman all day long."
How did he become suspicious?
He just said a few random words to appease the general.
Ugh!
Why am I always the one to take the blame?
Mo Feng secretly complained in his heart that it turned out that the general could be so "small-minded" sometimes.
He was clearly jealous, but he still blamed himself.
He quickly responded, "Yes, General, I will do it right away."
Xiao Mu waved his hand casually, signaling him to leave as soon as possible, and the look in his eyes was full of disgust.
Mo Feng was speechless...
It would be good if this could be found out, but what if it can’t be found out?
After Mo Feng left, Xiao Mu sat in the study, still feeling a little irritated.
Whenever he thought of Prince Song's proposal to Liu Yunniang, he felt like something was stuck in his throat.
As the night deepened, Xiao Mu changed into a black nightgown and left the general's mansion quietly.
He was like a black shadow, moving quickly in the night and soon arrived at the Liu Mansion.
Xiao Mu easily avoided the guards of the Liu Mansion and came to Liu Yunniang's yard.
He stood outside the window, looking quietly at the lights in the room, his heart full of tenderness.
At this time, Liu Yunniang was sitting at the table, her chin in her hand, looking thoughtful.
The scene at Hankong Temple during the day kept appearing in her mind, especially the proposal of Prince Song, which made her a little upset.
Suddenly, Liu Yunniang felt a slight movement outside the window.
"knock"
"knock"
"knock"
"Who?"
When Xiao Mu heard Liu Yunniang's voice, his heart felt warm.
"It's me, Yunniang."
She was confused and quickly opened the window to let Xiao Mu in.
"Xiao Mu, why are you here again?"
Liu Yunniang was feeling annoyed, and this man came uninvited, so she naturally didn't have a good face towards him.
Liu Yunniang's voice was cold and distinct, unlike usual. He was startled in his heart but did not show it on his face.
He gently held Liu Yunniang's hand.
"Didn't you say Xiaoxiao wanted to see me for something? If possible, let's do it tomorrow! I have prepared a gift for her, and I will bring it to her then."
When Liu Yunniang heard him mention Ye Xiaoxiao, her expression softened a lot and she felt that her temper was really unreasonable.
"You, just have someone pass the message to Yuezhu. It's worth your trip to pass the message."
Xiao Mu smiled.
"I'm happy with it. Besides, I'm also worried about what happened to you today."
Liu Yunniang said nothing and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu took the teacup and looked at Liu Yunniang in silence. For a moment, he didn't know what she was thinking.
"Yunniang, what happened?"
Although he already knew everything from the secret guard, at this moment, he still wanted to know whether she would tell him in person.
Liu Yunniang was slightly startled and looked up at him. Seeing that he looked nervous, she pretended to be asking casually.
How can you not see that this person has clearly known about Hanshan Temple for a long time?
I'm afraid that the concern is fake, and the real purpose of launching a military campaign to hold someone accountable is probably!
Liu Yunniang's eyes flickered slightly, she glanced at him lightly, and said nonchalantly,
"Oh, it's nothing! I heard that the amulet from Hankong Temple is very effective. Wait a minute, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Mu looked at Liu Yunniang's back as she stood up to get the amulet, feeling a little helpless.
If Yunniang had remembered to ask for a peace amulet for me on normal days, I would have been overjoyed a long time ago.
But now......
He knew that Liu Yunniang was deliberately avoiding his questions, but he didn't want to push her too hard.
He sat there quietly, waiting for Liu Yunniang to come back.
He was the only one who silently endured the entanglement and pain in his heart.
After a while, Liu Yunniang came over with an exquisite sachet.
She handed the sachet to Xiao Mu.
"I embroidered this sachet. Inside is the amulet I prayed for today at Hankong Temple. Take it. I hope it can protect you. May everything go well for you, may you be invincible in battle and conquer all enemies, and may you live a peaceful and smooth life."
Xiao Mu took the sachet and felt deeply moved. He also knew that it must be his words that day that scared her.
He looked at Liu Yunniang and said jokingly,
"Yun Niang, your wish is too greedy. I'm afraid even the Buddha can't take care of it."
Be invincible in battle and conquer every challenge, and live a safe and smooth life!
that's nice!
However, he is more greedy than her. If possible, they can stay together for a lifetime and grow old together. That would be perfect!
Seeing that this man did not take the blessing seriously, Liu Yunniang glared at him fiercely.
"If you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, it won't work. Don't talk nonsense. You are often on the battlefield. I can feel more at ease if you have a safe amulet with you."
Seeing the anger on her face, Xiao Mu quickly held Liu Yunniang's hand and said,
"Don't be angry, Yunniang. I am a rough man and I am talking nonsense. Don't worry, I will protect myself well and won't let you worry. Don't blame me, Buddha!"
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Liu Yunniang stopped arguing and the two of them sat back at the table.
Xiao Mu talked about this and that, but Liu Yunniang never mentioned the matter of Prince Song.
The conflict in his heart became more and more intense.
Xiao Mu felt a little frustrated when he saw Liu Yunniang being so calm.
"Yun Niang, you..."
Xiao Mu hesitated and finally didn't say anything.
Liu Yunniang looked at Xiao Mu's conflicted expression and laughed secretly in her heart.
In fact, she had seen through Xiao Mu's thoughts a long time ago, but she deliberately did not mention Prince Song, wanting to see how long Xiao Mu could endure.
"What do you want to say? You're hesitating."
Liu Yunniang asked deliberately, she raised her chin slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
At this moment, Liu Yunniang had her eyebrows slightly raised and the corners of her lips curved. She looked like a flower blooming in spring, delicate and charming.
Xiao Mu took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said,
"Yunniang, I heard that today at Hankong Temple, Prince Song did to you..."
His eyes were full of tension and anxiety, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Xiao Mu's face turned slightly red. He was worried that Liu Yunniang would be angry because of this question, but he was also eager to know her attitude.
Liu Yunniang raised her eyebrows slightly, the corners of her lips curved, and there was a hint of playfulness in her smile.
"Oh, what happened to Prince Song?"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains.
There was a glimmer of cunning in Liu Yunniang's eyes. She pretended not to know and wanted to tease Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu gritted his teeth, couldn't help it, and said,
"Did he express his feelings to you today?"
His eyes were fixed on Liu Yunniang, afraid of missing any subtle expression on her face.
Xiao Mu was filled with anxiety. He didn't know how Liu Yunniang would answer this question.
"Oh, that's what happened."
Liu Yunniang said lightly.
Then, as if afraid that he had not heard clearly, she spoke slowly,
"Yes, Prince Song did express his feelings to me today."
