After resting, the three of them disguised themselves and went to see the Lord of Huacheng.The Lord of Huacheng is Karina's good friend. He is a man in his thirties. He has a wife and children. He is mature and steady, completely different from Karina's free and easy enthusiasm.

The city lord's name is Jiang Tao. When he saw Karina and Qin Mu, he politely brought him into the mansion.Jiang Tao ordered the kitchen to cook some delicious side dishes, and then invited the three of them to sit down and treat them well.

"Karina, who are these two friends?"

Jiang Tao is dressed as a Confucian scholar, but judging by his figure, he is much stronger than a Confucian scholar, so Qin Mu thinks that he should also be a martial arts practitioner.

"This is Lord Qin, and this is... Lord Jin, both are high officials from the imperial court."

As soon as Jiang Tao heard Karina introduce the two, he knew that they were officials from the imperial court, and immediately saluted them: "Xiaosheng is blind, please forgive me, my lords."

"Don't mind, Jiang Tao is like this, too polite."

Although Ning Qingmeng was present, Karina didn't want to be too polite, not to mention that the empress didn't want Jiang Tao to know her identity, so the atmosphere should be lively so as not to arouse suspicion.

"We are all friends, just be casual."

After Karina finished speaking, Jiang Tao smiled politely, sat down again, and introduced the beautiful scenery of Huacheng to the two of them in a gentle voice.

Ning Qingmeng and Qin Mu didn't interrupt, and they would chime in a few more words. After he finished speaking, the food and drinks were served, and after everyone had a good meal, Jiang Tao asked, "I wonder if you two have any questions about coming to Huacheng?" It’s something Xiaosheng can help with.”

He did not talk about things until he was full of food and drink. Jiang Tao did his best to treat guests, and he did not lose the etiquette of the city lord.

"City Master Jiang, to be honest, I do have important matters to discuss with you during this trip."

It was Qin Mu who spoke, and then she narrated the purpose of the trip. Jiang Tao listened intently, and Karina at the side would occasionally say a few words. So high.

"Xiaosheng understands, it's just that I haven't met the insider you are talking about yet."

Just now Qin Mu and Karina have talked about their own internal response to King Yue many times, but Jiang Tao has not met her yet, so how can he cooperate with her?

"It should be here soon."

Ning Qingmeng, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth, and she continued: "Just now I left a mark along the road, and when she sees it, she will come to the City Lord's Mansion to meet us."

As soon as the words fell, the servant outside the door rushed to report: "Master, there is a girl wearing a mask outside who said she came to see you."

"coming."

Ning Qingmeng took a sip of tea calmly, as if everything was under her control, this posture was more intimidating than Qin Mu who had been talking to each other just now.

Jiang Tao now understood that this official surnamed Jin should have a higher official position than Qin Mu.

"Please come in."

Jiang Tao gave orders, and the servant went to do it immediately.Jiang Tao turned his head to look at Ning Qingmeng, with a hint of concern in his eyes. He always felt that this person was not simple, but he knew that there were some things that he could not ask too much.If the imperial court really sent a high-ranking official, then this matter must be very important to the imperial court. He is just a small town lord, and there is no room for rejection.

Soon, Yuyan was invited into the hall by the servants. After seeing Ning Qingmeng dressed up like a man, Yuyan understood, and didn't call her by name, but just called her sir.

Qin Mu on the side couldn't help shouting in his heart, good guy, this tacit understanding, this eye-catching degree, it's no wonder Ning Qingmeng values ​​Yuyan so much.

"We have already told City Master Jiang about the specific situation. Next, Yuyan, please explain the situation."

Ning Qingmeng doesn't want to talk too much, she is not a talkative person, and other people talk a lot in front of her on weekdays, which explains the ins and outs of things and arrangements, she can avoid it if she can.

"Hello City Lord Jiang, I will report to the outside world that a divorce was used to drive a wedge between you and City Lord Karina. Your deal broke down and you turned to King Yue."

After Yuyan finished speaking, there was no delay in his words, and he continued: "When it was reported that your relationship with Lord Karina had broken down, I will always be by your side and let the King of Yue believe this rumor."

Huacheng also has the eyes and ears of King Yue, and people often come and go in the City Lord's Mansion, especially businessmen, so Qin Mu and Ning Qingmeng will not be easily discovered, but Yuyan is known by the hidden piles, so King Yue will believe that Yuyan has found Jiang Tao, Later rumors will also be more true.

"I believe King Yue will come to see you in the future, as long as you firmly tell him that your relationship with Lord Karina has broken down."

Yuyan paused, and continued: "As for the reason for the breakup, it is said that Karina knew that you were in contact with King Yue's subordinates. She was very angry and broke off contact with you."

"Do not."

Karina interrupted Yuyan and said, "Ning Shanhe understands that this is not enough to make me furious, you should add one more."

Although Karina and Ning Shanhe are enemies, they have been brothers and sisters for many years. Karina knows Ning Shanhe, and Ning Shanhe also knows Karina.

"You just say that during the dispute between the two of us, Jiang Tao said that I am an outsider, and I can't take care of Ningguo's affairs, let alone his affairs. Being a city lord is Ningguo's kindness."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the taboo in Karina's heart, that is, she had the blood of outsiders, and she was not entirely from Ningguo in blood.Everyone understood, but they didn't say anything. After Yuyan agreed to Karina's words, the matter was finally settled.

The bait has already been cast, and the net is just waiting to be collected.

Karina, Qin Mu, and Ning Qingmeng left the Santo's Mansion first, and the moment they stepped out of the threshold of the Santo's Mansion, Ning Qingmeng said, "City Master Karina."

"Ok?"

Karina responded subconsciously, feeling a little nervous, not knowing why Ning Qingmeng called her.

"In the land of Ningguo, those who are capable can achieve great things, regardless of blood."

Ning Qingmeng stopped, Qin Mu followed, and Karina stopped afterward, as if there was an inexplicable tacit understanding.

"No one can be judged because of blood."

After Ning Qingmeng finished speaking, Karina's breathing stagnated, and she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.Because of her exotic appearance, she was oppressed and bullied a lot in Ningguo, but with her own efforts, she sat down to the position of city lord step by step, and was loved by the people in the city. This kind of love healed the former pain.

It's just that if it is mentioned, she will still find it harsh, which is one of her few taboos.

Had she heard these words from other people, Karina would not have had such a big emotion. These words are precious because they were spoken to her by the emperor of Ning Kingdom himself.It was like a kind of affirmation and gave her a sense of belonging, giving her a more down-to-earth strength.

"Ah."

Karina didn't know how to respond, she just complied softly, as if she had accepted the power given by Ning Qingmeng.

Ning Qingmeng knew that Karina understood what she said, so she didn't say any more, and went into the downtown with the two of them, waiting for a storm to come.

**

On the second day after Yuyan entered the City Lord's Mansion, someone saw Karina, the City Lord of Si City, rushing into the City Lord's Mansion with a group of her own troops.In less than half an hour, Karina left the City Lord's Mansion very angrily, without staying, and left Huacheng directly.

Then it came out that Karina and Jiang Tao had a big fight, because Jiang Tao met with Yue Wang's subordinates in private, and Jiang Tao also humiliated Karina because of the blood unity, and Karina left in anger. And also threatened to no longer cooperate with Huacheng.

There was a big commotion in the City Lord's Mansion, and the people were talking about it, and Jiang Tao didn't keep everyone waiting, and then posted an announcement on the street, saying that he had cut off business with Sicheng, and would buy food from Pangcheng in the future .

As soon as this incident happened, it became a hot topic among everyone. Everyone was guessing what happened in the city lord's mansion that day, and they were still discussing whether the price of food supplied by King Yue would be more expensive. All of a sudden, rumors spread in the city. Everyone Uneasy.

Ning Qingmeng and Qin Mu have been staying in the city to observe the situation. During this time, the King of Yue also sent someone to send the transaction documents, and Jiang Tao signed it readily. Among them, the price difference, so the lives of the people have not been affected.

It was claimed that Jiang Tao paid the difference, but in fact it was the court who paid for Jiang Tao.

Life was not affected, and the topic of Jiang Tao and Karina's broken relationship gradually cooled down, and everything gradually returned to calm.As Yuyan expected, King Yue came in person. He came to test Jiang Tao. He was very suspicious, so Ning Qingmeng was sure that he would come.

Ning Shanhe stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for an hour, and when he came out, he looked happy. Ning Qingmeng and Qin Mu, who were hiding in the corner of the market, saw it and knew that the matter should be completed.Afterwards, Yuyan sent someone to send a letter to Ning Qingmeng. The content of the letter said that everything went well. King Yue now trusts him very much, and Mo Shaoyan, who made a mistake, has been thrown into the 'cold palace'.

Ning Qing dreamed that everything was going well, so she returned to the capital with Qin Mu.

On the way, Qin Mu was in a good mood. Seeing that Ning Qingmeng was also in a good mood, he asked, "Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?"

"When Yuyan sends the news, I will know what to do."

Ning Qingmeng wasn't in a hurry, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so she could only catch that big fish if she held her breath.

"Your Majesty, here it is."

Qin Mu handed the oiled paper bag in his hand to Ning Qingmeng who was walking beside him on horseback: "This is the lotus cake from Huacheng. It looks very delicious."

Qin Mu likes to eat, and also likes to share delicious food. Ning Qingmeng is likely to be fattened by Qin Mu along the way.It's just that she didn't mind, on the contrary, she thought this kind of interaction was good, and it was a little joy in ordinary life.

Ning Qingmeng took it, opened it, and saw the little bun inside that was shaped like a lotus flower, and felt an appetite suddenly.Although it is not as exquisite as the ones made by the imperial chef, it is known that this kind of market snack has a different kind of charm, that is, fireworks.

Ning Qingmeng took a bite, turned her head to look, and found that Qin Mu was also eating, stuffing her mouth full, like a hamster.

"You eat slowly."

Ning Qingmeng smiled lightly and shook her head, watching this person eat would always give her an appetite, she ate so deliciously.Qin Mu looked at Ning Qingmeng with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and wondered if he had listened to his own words.

The two of them walked slowly along the path in the forest, talking and laughing at the same time. This kind of carefree feeling made Ning Qingmeng yearn for it.

At this moment, there was a gust of wind in the forest, and the two of them felt uncomfortable, pulled the reins, and stopped.

"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, put down the money to buy the road!"

Hu Tu: [I'll go, old-fashioned dialogue. 】

Qin Mu: [We met bandits, is it really appropriate for you to complain? 】

Hu Tu: [I really can't help it, this dialogue is too old-fashioned. 】

Qin Mu: 【... Well, it's a bit old-fashioned. 】
