The Story of Jiang Xue and Su Muhan

It was night, and Su Muhan quietly entered the Jue Ming Sect.

"The lord of the martial arts alliance is here, and I am far away to welcome you." The man sat on the main seat and served a cup of tea as a guest, as if he knew that someone would come to visit.

"The Ninth Prince laughed."

"Where is it, the leader is polite."

"..." Su Muhan looked at the calm expression of the Ninth Prince, his eyes were clearly full of banter.

"Hey! Su Muhan, you actually rolled my eyes!" The Ninth Prince broke his kung fu, and his seriousness was revealed in a short while. "Brother Huang sent me to pick you up. This is an errand that my lord specially won for my good brother. Are you moved?"

"Bah! I think you are thinking about your little love!"

"Can't you think better of me? How can I say that my lord is also working for the court?"

"Sanctified."

"Hiss—I won't talk to you anymore, let's talk about business, business!"

"Concubine Shu's power in the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger, and it may explode at any time. Has the Shangguan family taken any action recently?"

"No, it may be because I have just become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I have been quite peaceful during this period. But I have already started to collect evidence, and I think there will be a big harvest in the near future."

"Don't be too impatient, it's better to be careful."

"We have to speed up."

The Ninth Prince looked at his good brother who was usually energetic, but now he was exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were tightly knit together.

"I know you are in a hurry, alas... Thank you for your hard work." To marry a woman you don't love, to suffer the pain of being misunderstood by your lover, and to feel the same pain as a heartbroken lover, even if it is for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country, who is there? Can you bear such bone-piercing pain?

"It doesn't matter to me, please take good care of him..."

"……Um."

After the conversation was over, Su Muhan asked where Jiang Xue's room was, and said goodbye: "Next time we meet, I hope things get better."

"I hope so."

Su Muhan walked outside Jiang Xue's door with a heavy heart, and tried to push the door, but it didn't open.After a long silence, he turned and left.

[It's okay if you don't see me, otherwise I might not be able to persist, just make sure you are safe.Cher, wait for me. 】

a few months ago.

"Grassman Su Muhan sees the emperor."

"Please hurry up. Since you are a good brother of the ninth brother, you are my friend, so you don't need to be restricted by etiquette."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I came to you because I want you to do something."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I want you to strive to be the leader of this year's martial arts alliance. You are only allowed to succeed, and you are not allowed to fail."

"Your Majesty... forgive Caomin for speaking bluntly, it is not easy to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, not to mention that Caomin has just entered the rivers and lakes and has no power behind him. He is just a ranger."

"The title of 'One Sword' is very impressive." The emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, "I just like you when you first entered the rivers and lakes, so it is only natural to fight for the leader, otherwise I would have found those hermits and masters, but it is so easy Suspected by others. And I have already inquired, the lady of the Shangguan family admires you very much, as long as you marry her, the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance is at your fingertips, and you can also embrace the beauty."

"Your Majesty! The Caomin already have a lifelong lover!"

"The country, the society, or the children's personal relationship is more important?" The emperor's voice also became dignified, "In that case, I will tell you the reason. The Shangguan family colluded with loyal court officials in an attempt to rebel. Although I am the king of a country, the affairs of the rivers and lakes There are not many places where I can intervene, if the Shangguan family is punished rashly, the people will be dissatisfied with the court, what you need to do is to collect evidence, and when the time comes to catch all the traitors, and then make it public."

"Grassman..."

"I know you are in a difficult situation, but you are the best candidate at present. I believe your lover will understand."

Su Muhan was silent, with a serious expression on his face.

"I understand how you feel." The emperor stood up, walked in front of Su Muhan, and looked at him, the pain in his eyes could not be concealed, "But I am the king, and the country must come first in everything."

Shangguan's house.

"Father!" Shangguan Yurou ran into Shangguan Yan's yard and began to lose his temper, "Father! It's been a month and Su Muhan has been spending the night in the study. Didn't you say that he proposed to marry me!"

"Yurou, didn't daddy say that Su Muhan is just a pawn, he wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I need a scapegoat to use each other."

"So, I'm also dad's pawn?" Shangguan Yurou immediately refused, with a long face, turned around and was about to leave.

Shangguan Yan immediately put on a loving father's appearance, grabbed her, and said earnestly: "When we succeed, what man in the world can't you choose? Although Su Muhan is famous, he is just a poor boy. He is not as good as those princes and nobles. "

"But people like him..."

"Daughter, listen to my father's advice. No matter whether we succeed or not, he will be an outcast. Even if we fail, father has already prepared a way out. There will always be a better man than him."

Shangguan Yurou didn't speak, secretly planning to get Su Muhan.

"Daughter, you go back and think about it carefully. Dad is also doing it for your own good."

"I know dad."

In the study on the other side, a masked man jumped off the beam lightly.

"Boss, guess what I caught?" The masked man sat on the seat unceremoniously, looking at Su Muhan who was walking back and forth triumphantly, his peach blossom eyes squinted, his eyebrows twitched, his expression "Ask me, ask me" emoji.

"What time is this, don't keep it up!"

"Hmm... I caught a spy from Concubine Shu, who may have come to inform Shangguan Yan. Concubine Shu has already sensed the emperor's actions. I just passed by the garden, and I caught him climbing over the wall to come in. This knocks me unconscious. You brought it here." The masked man pointed to the sack that he hung on the beam of the house, it was bulging, and it seemed that there was really a person inside.

"Nice job!" Su Muhan stopped, with a happy expression on his face, "Send people to the palace, and it won't be long before the nets are collected."
