"oh?"

Nan Muchen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of the man in black.

"Okay, I'll give you 100 taels. Remember, this matter must be kept secret, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"Don't worry, your Majesty. I understand. I will never let this matter out!"

"Back off!"

Nan Muchen waved his hand, signaling the woman to leave.

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly retreated respectfully. She had just taken two steps when she turned her head to look at Nan Muchen, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

Nan Muchen asked coldly when he saw the woman's gaze.

"Why, is there anything else?"

Seeing this, the woman lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Qin's daughter Qin Yueran disappeared in Nanyue. Moreover, the Qin family has also fallen into chaos because of Qin Yueran's strange disappearance. I think this matter must be related to Nan Muze!"

Nan Muze raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure!"

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, my king!"

Nan Muzhe sneered, he stretched out his right hand, moved his fingertips slightly, and a cluster of flames emerged from his fingertips and landed on the woman's forehead.

The woman only felt a pain on her forehead, followed by a burning sensation. She raised her head and stared at Nan Muzhe in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, the King?"

Nan Muze curled his lips into a smile, and there was a chilling chill in his smile, as if a cold breath from hell was blowing in his face.

"I warn you, it's best not to try to sow discord. If I find out that you have done something bad, you will bear the consequences!"

As he spoke, Nan Muzhe slapped out with his palm, directly breaking the woman's throat and killing her on the spot!

With the woman's death, the entire palace fell silent in an instant.

Nan Muzhe glanced around, then turned and left the imperial study and walked towards the side hall of the imperial study.

"Come here, drag Qin Yueran's body to the Imperial Hospital and take good care of it. There can't be any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"I obey your order!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

......

Soon, a team of guards carried Qin Yueran's body in, placed it in the corner of the imperial study, and guarded it strictly.

Nan Muze sat on the dragon throne, looking at the body lying on the ground, snorted coldly, and ordered: "Throw her body into the mass grave!"

"Yes!"

......

"Sister Yue Ran, Sister Yue Ran!"

In the carriage, Xiao Qi opened her sleepy eyes and blinked confusedly. Looking at Qin Yueran who was sitting opposite her with a worried look on her face, Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Sister Yueran, what's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?"

Qin Yueran heard this, shook her head, forced a smile, and said softly: "Xiao Qi, we are going to the desert to train, we have to hurry all the way, so we may not have much time to take care of you. If you are hungry, go find something to eat by yourself."

"No, I want to go with you!"

"No, you are a child now, how can you leave home casually? You have to be obedient and stay in the mansion, understand?"

"No, I don't want to be obedient, I want to go with you!"

"Xiao Qi, be obedient!"

“I don’t want to listen!”

"you--"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yueran glared at Nan Muchen in frustration, her almond-shaped eyes full of accusations.

Nan Muchen heard this and waved his hands, saying, "Alright, alright, you don't have to look at me anymore. Since Xiaoqi wants to go with you, then let's go together. However, you have to promise me that you won't make trouble, otherwise I will send you home immediately!"

"snort!"

Qin Yuran snorted when he heard this, turned his head and ignored Nan Muchen.

She was a person with her own opinions, so how could she listen to his threats? Besides, they were in a hurry on the road and had no time to take care of a child.

Qin Yuran was unwilling to pay attention to Nan Muchen, and Nan Muchen had no choice but to sigh helplessly, hold Xiao Qi in his arms, and coax him, "Be good, take a nap first, and when we get to the desert, we'll take you out to play, okay?"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi looked at Nan Muchen with her big eyes and asked expectantly.

"Of course it's true. You take a nap first. I promise that once we get to the desert, I'll take you out to play right away, okay?"

"Um!"

Xiao Qi nodded heavily and nestled obediently in Nan Muchen's arms. After a while, he began to breathe evenly.

Nan Muchen held Xiao Qi in his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a doting look appeared in his eyes.

Qin Yuran was sitting opposite, watching this scene, feeling sour in her heart. She pursed her lips, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and turned her face away.

The carriage slowly stopped.

"Master, we're here!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Muchen opened the curtain and looked out the window. Outside was a vast desert with a blue sky and pleasant scenery. One couldn't help but take a deep breath and enjoy the wonderful view.

Is this the legendary desert?

Is this where she used to live?

Qin Yueran looked at the scenery in the distance and a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

All this seemed to be a huge change and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

Nan Muchen sighed softly when he saw this. He reached out his hand, rubbed Qin Yueran's head, and said softly, "Yueran, get off the car. It's time to get ready to go!"

"Um."

......

"Master, if you are tired, take a rest. We will continue our journey after you have rested."

Nan Muchen nodded, then closed his eyes and dozed off against the wall of the carriage.

The carriage slowly stopped.

The driver's voice rang out: "Master, we're here!"

Nan Muchen opened his eyes after hearing this, he lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage and stood on the ground.

Qin Yueran also got out of the carriage. She looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, shining on the ground.

Qin Yueran couldn't help but sigh. She really hoped that such warm days would never end!

"Miss Yue Ran, please!"

Nan Muchen saw Qin Yueran standing there in a daze, so he spoke up to remind her.

“Oh, here it comes!”

Qin Yuran came back to her senses, nodded, and then followed Nan Muchen's footsteps.

The group of three walked forward and met many mercenaries on the way. Regardless of gender, age or status, they all looked energetic and eager to try.

When they saw Nan Muchen and Qin Yueran, they all bowed and then respectfully made way for them to pass.

Along the way, Qin Yueran saw many mercenaries. She knew that these were all Nan Muchen's men. Although she had not seen them killing with her own eyes, the smell of blood emanating from them made people feel scared.

Qin Yueran was very surprised to see Nan Muchen constantly collecting points from mercenaries. Are these points used to buy things?

"Your Majesty, aren't we afraid of causing public outrage?"
