Chapter 143 The Shining Kongtong Mirror
Chapter 143 The Shining Kongtong Mirror
The man slowly pulled down the black scarf covering his face, revealing a peerless face. The people present were all martial artists with very good eyesight, and they looked at him in the bright moonlight, all of them showing surprise.
It turned out that Mu Yunxiao had arrived!
"Why are you here?" Bai Xinyin was so happy that she could hardly control herself. She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Mu Yunxiao lovingly.
"If you miss Ayin, then I'll follow you!" Mu Yunxiao smiled slightly, his tone calm, as if all this was natural, but the deep affection contained in it was beyond words.
You know, the rebellious war in the court just ended not long ago, and the situation has not yet completely stabilized. As an important official, Mu Yunxiao not only needs to deal with complicated government affairs, but also has to be vigilant against the open and covert attacks of various forces at all times.
But he was able to abandon everything, regardless of the long distance and high mountains, and rushed here at full speed. The hardships and dangers he experienced can be imagined. However, he just mentioned these hardships lightly, as if he didn't care at all.
"Well, you've been tired from traveling all the way, why don't you go to the inn and rest for a while? We'll go out for a walk and help digest the food." Bai Xinyin explained awkwardly after being caught red-handed.
"Where can we go to digest our food? I have just arrived and I have been treated so coldly. Ayin really shouldn't be treated like this!" There seemed to be some blame in Mu Yunxiao's tone.
Is this really the god of war that Zhao State fears all the world? Why is he like a spoiled and cute little boy? The third prince stared at the hero in the eyes of the Zhao State soldiers and civilians in disbelief. He couldn't help but start to wonder if he was seeing things or if he was dreaming in the middle of the night.
"I feel sorry for you. After all, the journey is long and you are exhausted. You should rest and recuperate first." Bai Xinyin said softly with a red face.
"As long as I can be with Ayin, I won't feel tired at all even if I am tired..." Mu Yunxiao stared at Bai Xinyin, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile.
Bai Xinyin had no choice but to say: "If you don't mind being tired, then come with us."
Several dark shadows disappeared into the night in an instant, so fast that the owl on the tree was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
Wei Imperial Palace, the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Aina looked at the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and sneered.
A'Luo was also involved in this matter. Although A'ina was not her biological sister, they grew up together. Seeing that A'ina was sick, she naturally stayed to take care of her.
"Sister, why don't you drink another bowl of medicine? Maybe you'll feel better after drinking it." Luo advised.
"I don't drink. I'm not sick at all." Aina said.
"Sister, stop making trouble. Your limbs look weak. There's still time to cure this disease. Take the medicine. Maybe you'll be better tomorrow." Luo continued to persuade Aina as she looked at her pale face.
At this time, Ayi Na suddenly sat up, took A Luo's hand and said: "My dear sister, you are my only relative. I am not sick. I am pretending to be sick. I can't live without you."
As he spoke, a few tears fell.
As Ayi Na was talking, she reached under her pillow and fumbled for something. After a while, she took out a mysterious and ancient object - the Kongtong Mirror!
This Kongtong mirror looks very old, with exquisite carvings and runes all around the frame. It exudes a mysterious aura, as if it hides endless power.
"Although the Kongtong Mirror can recognize its master, it seems that it has no fate with my sister and me. But it doesn't matter, I'll try again!" Ayi Na said firmly. Then, she reached under the pillow again and took out a sharp dagger.
Ayi Na pierced her little finger with the tip of the knife without hesitation, and blood gushed out instantly. She carefully smeared the blood on the surface of the Kongtong mirror, and something amazing happened: the originally calm mirror surface began to tremble slightly and gradually became larger.
Then, Ayi Na closed her eyes and muttered to herself, as if reciting a mysterious spell. As her voice became lower and lower, the Kongtong Mirror suddenly emitted a faint light.
In this weak light, Ayi Na stared at the Kongtong Mirror, expecting it to show more miracles. However, after a long while, apart from the faint light, there was no other change. Ayi Na could not help but frowned and fell into deep thought...
Aina sighed, still unwilling to give up, and cast the spell again, but the Kongtong Mirror still emitted a faint light.
At this time, a group of six people gathered under the window and listened with bated breath.
"In fact, you also know that Emperor Wei and I have an ambiguous relationship, but he does not really love me. It is just that I use our secret technique to control his emotions."
After hearing this, A'Luo was stunned for a moment.
"But now the Imperial Master has come out of retreat. He seems to have figured out the trick. He threatened me the other day that if I didn't come up with a solution, I would die in his hands. A queen mother who has no role to play is dispensable to them."
At this point, she suddenly picked up Luo's hand, scratched her little finger, squeezed a drop of blood and dripped it on the mirror, then activated the spell. The mirror emitted a brighter light than before, illuminating half the room.
"Why is it brighter this time?" Ayi Na's eyes lit up. "A Luo, is there some reason why the Kongtong Mirror didn't recognize its master? Why is it shining so brightly today? I guess the magic power will be stronger when it is activated."
“It can’t be that the first time is unfamiliar but the second time is familiar, right?” Ayi Na murmured, “Let’s keep this secret for now and don’t tell anyone. Maybe we sisters can rule the world in the future! Hahaha!”
Looking at the excited Ayi Na, Luo had no choice but to nod.
The six people outside the window looked at the two people in the house, listened to their conversation, and understood what happened. It was pretty much the same as what they thought.
So they poked each other and walked towards the imperial study again.
Just as they turned to leave, the light of the Kongtong Mirror in the room suddenly dimmed again.
Aina didn't know anyone had come.
Do I need to practice more? Ayi Na thought. That's fine. As long as the Kongtong Mirror can be used for their own benefit, they will not be afraid of the Imperial Master, the Emperor Wei, or even the entire Nine Provinces.
The lights in the imperial study were also bright.
"Why aren't they sleeping at this hour? Are they here for a meeting?" Bai Xinyin asked, "Are they also trying to digest their food?"
Through the window of the imperial study, one could just see Emperor Wei, and sitting opposite him was the Imperial Preceptor.
"We don't know the level of the national teacher's cultivation. If we go there rashly, we might alert the enemy. Send a representative to put the eavesdropping talisman paper under the window. Who has the best Qinggong?"
After saying that, he glanced at everyone.
"I'll go!" Mu Yuanxiao stretched out his hand without any hesitation and took the talisman paper from Bai Xinyin's hand.
Bai Xinyin looked at Mu Yunxiao and thought that he was the one with the highest martial arts skills at the moment. He didn't know how high his martial arts skills were, but he couldn't beat him at the moment.
Just him!
