Chapter 95.2
Yao Kun was shocked and lost his smile. “You’ve spent a lot of time with her. Have you also been influenced by her? Why does everyone suddenly become a spy? If Qian Pei is a spy, how could Lord Qian not know? Is it possible that Lord Qian is also a spy?”
Meng Jia Yue frowned. That was indeed something impossible.
“Maybe An Ruochen just wants to sell her sorrows to you and get close, mentioning Qian Pei now and then to remind you that she didn’t live as well as she wanted to in the past. Mentioning it too much will make you suspicious.”
“I am indeed suspicious.” Meng Jiayue sighed, “My Lord, this Miss An is loyal and righteous. She is determined to investigate the case of the city’s spies for General Long, and everything she does must be related to this. Lord, do you still remember? She didn’t approach me because of my compassion for the citizens, but to make you handle Liu Ze.”
“The first time she approached you, she had ulterior motives. Later on, whatever she said to you, you felt that she meant something.”
“I wouldn’t mind hearing more about what she says. I am worried about you. I am afraid Qian Pei manipulated you. If this is the case, it is necessary to clean it ……”
When she examined Yao Kun’s countenance, she smiled and said, “Okay, okay, it is me that is too suspicious. Don’t mind me. I won’t nag you about it. “
“You worry about me. How could I be annoyed?” Yao Kun smiled gently.
When Meng Jiayue turned around to clean up the bowl and spoon, the smile on Yao Kun’s face slowly converged. He looked at her figure in a daze. “Don’t worry.” He suddenly said, “Nothing happened. I made it very clear to Qian Pei that if he commits a crime against the law, I will punish him severely and won’t be covering it up.”
Meng Jiayue turned back to him and smiled. Yao Kun switched the topic and said, ”It’s better to send Mr. Huo away as soon as possible, as agreed with General Long. We won’t wait for Lord Liang and the others. You’re right to remind me that it’s better to be careful in everything.”
Meanwhile, Huo Mingshan sat in the room and looked at the closed window. He only needed to stay in this house for one more day before he could go to the capital tomorrow morning. Few people knew about this schedule and about the fact that he lived here. Guards were guarding outside and inside the courtyard. He did not open the door or the window. Only his staff, Cao Yihan, would pretend to place miscellaneous things here to send him food secretly.
Cao Yihan was very dissatisfied with this arrangement and felt aggrieved for him. But Huo Mingshan knew this was a measure that had to be taken. He agreed with Long Teng that the dangers in Zhonglan City far exceeded those on the way to the capital. However, with such tight guards, Huo Mingshan felt he should be able to leave Zhonglan City safely.
Let’s take one step at a time. Even the most dangerous things have to be done by someone.
Huo Mingshan glanced at the sword on the table and couldn’t help but smile when he thought of the time he handed it over to Meng Jiayue. In a flash, seventeen years have passed, and the governor’s daughter has become the governor’s wife, a wife and mother. Seventeen years of peace, ah.
Before the sigh faded from his mind, the hairs at the nape of his neck suddenly stood up. Feeling knows what’s happening faster than perception, and by the time he reacted, a sword was already on his neck.
“Prime Minister Huo.”
A woman’s voice. He heard her before, but he couldn’t recall who it was.
Huo Mingshan’s entire body froze, not thinking about who the voice belonged to but realizing that someone had appeared out of nowhere in his room.
This person wanted to take his life – an assassin.
“Do not make a sound. If you call someone in, it’s nothing more than a few extra people to accompany you to your grave.” That voice was cold and emotionless.
Huo Mingshan finally remembered, not from the voice, but from this accent. He only recognized one woman who would speak in this accent.
“Zou Yun?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
Huo Mingshan’s heart stirred as he slowly turned around. The sword on his neck stayed still, neither leaving nor pressing.
Huo Mingshan finally came face to face with the assassin. He looked at the other party and was shocked, “You’ve become a monk?”
“No. It’s just that it’s more convenient.” No one will ask a nun why she is single and living alone, there will be no enthusiasts inquiring about her life and marriage, no neighbors stringing together pleasantries and contacts. Everything is much simpler.
She was still as uncaring as before. Huo Mingshan looked at the sword on his neck and knew that he’d better hurry up, or when she got impatient, there would be no chance for him to speak at all.
Without asking her how she came to be here or who she was acting under, Huo Mingshan picked the most important question and said, “Do you have to kill me? I want to stay alive and do a crucial task. It’s about the war between the two countries and the lives of millions of people.”
“You must die.”
But she hadn’t done it yet.
Therefore, Huo Ming Shan felt there was still hope. “Perhaps we can negotiate a way ……”
Meanwhile, at the Jing Xin Temple. Mr. Xie looked carefully around the empty nunnery. He saw the side courtyard with a locked gate and walked over.?
