The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me
Chapter 98 Assassination
Yunjing Garden, Yunwang Mansion.
With a bang, Su Yuntian dropped all the paper, ink, and pens on the desk to the ground.
"Why, why did Su Yi go and provoke her just one day after she left me, or did they have a history?"
Su Yuntian heard from the secret guard that today Su Yi, Su Muxue and Zhao Yefan went to the general's mansion to pick up Mu Jin to go to the suburbs to enjoy the spring, and the four of them had a pleasant conversation during the meal.
"No, Ah Jin is not that kind of person. She loved me so much that day, it must be that Su Yi was relying on her. That day outside the city, I only drank a cup of tea that Su Yi poured for me, and that night I suffered from weakness. Even the imperial doctors in the palace could not find any reason. Now think about it, it must be Su Yi who poisoned me. As long as I am not outside the city, he can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."
Su Yuntian analyzed all this with red eyes and a grim face, but as he thought about it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The secret guard saw that something was wrong with Su Yuntian, so he stepped forward to support Su Yuntian who was shaking all over, but was pushed away by Su Yuntian.
"Does he not think about his own status? Will the king agree to let him marry his sister-in-law? And is the king so old that he has lost his mind? Why did he issue the imperial edict asking Ah Jin to divorce me? Ah Jin has the imperial edict, how dare she disobey? But it's okay, Ah Jin will come back to me eventually. She is just angry with me now. As long as she calms down and I coax her, I will give her what she wants and she will come back."
The secret guard looked at the crazy Su Yuntian and stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Highness is right. The princess will come back. Who wouldn't love a man who values power above all else? As long as Your Highness gets that supreme power, who in this world can compete with Your Highness for Princess Yun?"
Hearing the secret guard's words, Su Yuntian's eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Send an order to find the person who can cure my weakness. The reward is ten thousand taels. I want to recover as soon as possible. Let that loser know that if anyone dares to peek at my woman, I will not let any of them die peacefully."
When Mu Jin returned to the general's residence, he asked someone to look for Eleven. Because Su Yi and his sister were traveling together today, Mu Jin did not let Eleven follow to protect them. After all, there were not many people in this world who dared to take action in front of the prince and princess. Moreover, Mu Jin had an important matter for Eleven to do today.
"Miss!"
Mu Jin had just put the letter to her father and brother into the envelope when she saw Eleven walk into her study.
This study was created when Mu Yan was still in Beijing. He saw that Mu Jin suddenly fell in love with it. He saw Mu Jin running to his study all day long, so he asked someone to find a room in Qingwan Courtyard and set up a new study for Mu Jin to use.
Mu Jin looked at Eleven and asked, "Did you get any news today?"
"I heard today that it is difficult to buy large quantities of grain in the surrounding counties. Now the court has restricted the purchase quantity to prevent people from hoarding grain and driving up prices."
What Eleven said was basically the same as what Mu Jin thought, so she didn't feel too lost.
Seeing that Mu Jin didn't say anything, Eleven continued, "Also, I heard from those people who came back to Beijing for the New Year from the border towns that the Beiqi country had provocative intentions again in the past two months, and often appeared at the border, but the court seemed to be deliberately concealing it and also told the people and the army not to act rashly."
When Mu Jin heard Eleven say this, he was shocked. When he came to his senses, he immediately took out a map that he had taken from Mu Yan's study and spread it out.
From the map, we can see that Beiqi State was close to the northern part of Dongyue State. Originally, Beiqi was less than one-tenth the size of Dongyue. However, the people of Beiqi were brave and good at fighting, so even though it was a small country, it repeatedly disturbed the peace of nearby countries. Some smaller countries were annexed by it one by one, resulting in its current territory being close to one-fifth of Dongyue.
This year, there have been several heavy snowstorms in the northern part of East Vietnam, causing half of the country's counties to suffer serious damage. Beiqi is further north, and I believe the situation there is no better than in East Vietnam.
"I asked a few people who came back from the border, and it's true what you said. The counties around the border were devastated and had no food harvest. They could only buy expensive grain from merchants in the south. Beiqi mainly raises livestock, and many cattle and sheep have frozen to death. I believe they will have a much harder time in the spring than we do."
Hearing this, Mu Jin couldn't help but frown: "If it was a good year, maybe they could have a rest and recuperate, but now they are at the end of their rope. Who can guarantee that Bei Qi won't do something desperate? Then, will Daddy and the others be in trouble?"
"What do you plan to do, young lady?"
Mu Jin was about to speak when they both stopped at the same time and they exchanged glances quickly.
At the same time, Eleven reacted quickly, pushed open the door, moved quickly to the outside of the yard like a gust of wind, and jumped onto the roof.
Mu Jin picked up two swords from the wall and rushed out of the yard with Eleven.
When the maids in Qingwan Courtyard heard the noise, they all left their rooms. Seeing this, Mu Jin frowned and shouted at them, "Go back to your rooms."
Except for Qing'er who rushed out of the yard to call for help, the other maids quickly returned to their rooms and closed the doors when they heard Mu Jin's scolding.
"Who are you? How dare you act so rudely in the general's mansion?" asked Eleven.
A row of men in black wearing night clothes on the roof saw Eleven appear on the roof in a moment. They looked at each other, picked up their knives and rushed towards Eleven.
"Catch it."
Mu Jin threw one of the swords in his hand towards Eleven. Eleven reached out to take it, pulled out the sword shell, and rushed into the black-clothed men to fight.
At this time, two of the men in black who were fighting with Eleven suddenly changed their attack targets, jumped down, and attacked towards Mu Jin.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jin's sword was faster than theirs, and the two men in black were soon injured. At this time, two more people rushed down from the roof and attacked Mu Jin together with the two injured men in black.
During the fight, Mu Jin's sword collided with the sword of the man in black, producing dazzling sparks and crisp metallic sounds. Mu Jin's movements were smooth, sometimes sprinting quickly, sometimes sweeping back, and the four men in black could not hurt Mu Jin at all.
When the attacks of the four people were gradually becoming unstoppable due to Mu Jin's domineering sword moves, a dozen guards rushed in from outside Qingwan's courtyard.
"Not good! Retreat!" The four people who were fighting with Mu Jin saw the guards rushing in, and they all used their lightness skills to flee to the roof.
With a few bangs, several men in black on the roof were kicked off the roof by Eleven. The guards hurried over and put swords against their throats.
A man rolled to Mu Jin's feet and was stepped on by her on the chest, unable to move.
"Oh no, they have poison in their mouths." A guard shouted.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin immediately knelt down and clamped the jaw of the man in black under his feet, but it was too late. The man's body had begun to twitch and he was foaming at the mouth. The other eight men in black were in the same situation.
Eleven jumped down from the roof. He had just gone to chase a man in black who was highly skilled in martial arts, but now he returned empty-handed. He was probably escaped.
"Miss, there are ten people this time. One of them has much better martial arts skills than me and ran away." Eleven reported to Mu Jin somewhat embarrassedly.
Mu Jin nodded after hearing what Eleven said.
The guards pulled off the black-clad man's veil and said, "Miss, they have poison in their teeth, and they are all assassins."
