Chapter 394: The Way to Attack the Heart

"Prince Xiao has arrived outside Shi'an City?" Yan Li just stood up and heard the news reported by Tianshu who had followed Shen Yanshu until midnight last night. His eyebrows slightly raised, "How many people did he bring?"

"Only a few personal guards." Tianshu replied, "Prince Xiao seemed to have anticipated that Master Shen would go to Shi'an Mountain in advance, and he went to the mountain to wait. There were only the two of them and a few masters on the mountain. I heard them talk for a few words and came back early."

Yan Li was silent for a moment: "What did they say?"

"Master Shen's purpose of going to Shi'an Mountain seemed to be seeking death, and Prince Xiao was waiting on the mountain just to stop him from seeking death." Tianshu said the facts respectfully and calmly, "Prince Xiao also said that without his permission, Master Shen had no right to die."

Yan Li sneered: "He is indeed a domineering and self-righteous person."

Tianshu did not speak.

Yan Li was silent, and a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyebrows.

However, Prince Xiao was able to predict that Shen Yanshu would go to Shi'an Mountain to seek death. There should have been some special agreement between the two of them a long time ago?

"You've worked hard all night, go and rest first."

"I'll take my leave."

Yan Li walked to the window with a teacup, looking out the window at the bright morning sun. The winter morning air was so cold that water almost turned into ice.

Staying on the mountain overnight, being blown by the mountain wind, that taste must be quite intoxicating.

"Let's take a carriage today." Mu Cang came in with a fur cloak in his hand, walked to the window and put it on her, "I asked someone to prepare a spacious carriage, hand warmers, snacks, and tea are all ready, so it won't be too hard to travel."

This weather is not suitable for riding a horse, especially for a young girl with delicate skin.

Although martial artists have strong bodies and thin clothes are not a big deal, no matter how cold they are, the feeling of the cold wind blowing on their faces is not comfortable.

Yan Li had no objection to this. She looked out the window for a long time and said, "Although we went underground from Fengluxing, I thought the journey would not be too smooth."

But during the two days they stayed in Shi'an River, except for Shen Yanshu who came to see them in person, no one else encountered an assassin.

It was a bit beyond her expectations.

"The situation of King Xiao is over. Even if he sends an assassin, it will only be a last-ditch struggle and a waste of life." Mu Cang looked calm, with a demeanor of control over everything between his eyebrows, "Besides, he now has a weakness."

Weakness?

Yan Li thought of Tian Shu's report, and his expression was slightly cold: "I really don't understand him." "Perhaps it was after the failure that he finally realized that power and wealth are not as important as feelings." When Mu Cang said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Just like a person who sees through fame and fortune when he is about to die, if he is given another chance, he will still do whatever it takes for power and sneer at feelings, so there is nothing to praise about the sensationalism before his death." Yan Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard it: "So should I be glad?" "Grateful?" Mu Cang was puzzled, "What to be glad about?" "Grateful that I have an extremely sober husband who knows what he wants early on." Yan Li tilted her head to look at him, smiling, "Obviously holding great power, you should be a god of war praised by future generations. If you want to compete for the world, maybe the world will be yours, but at such a beautiful age, you are so stubborn. Being obsessed with love affairs... Should I say you are sober or useless? "

"Even if you fight for the world, the world may not be mine." Mu Cang naturally put his arm around her shoulders. This action seems to have become a habit recently. "Compared with that, I feel more fulfilled to be able to win the heart of a country's empress."

Yan Li curled her lips: "It should be said that it is easier to get me."

"How can you say that?" Mu Cang smiled a little more. "Although the difficulty of being in love is indeed a little lower than fighting for the world, it does not prevent me from caring about what I care about most."

Paused, "Besides, the difficulty is low because God sent you to me, otherwise it is not easy to get your heart."

The accident made her the granddaughter of the Mu State Taifu Mansion. In addition to the situation, the more important thing is that the distance between the two people has changed from the distance between the two countries to close at hand.

He has the advantage of being close to the water.

Otherwise, he is afraid that he will really have a lifetime of unrequited love.

"It's strange." Yan Li was inspired. "A young god of war like you either wants to fight for the world or defend the country. Who would think about love all day long?"

"Love does not hinder the defense of the country." Mu Cang replied calmly, "Fighting for the world will inevitably lead to killing, which goes against the original intention of defending the country."

"Didn't you urge me to be the master of the world before?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows and slowly exposed his words, "even at the cost of abandoning my own country."

Mu Cang smiled and said, "That is a way to attack your heart, intended to arouse your fighting spirit and Let me tell you, I am the only one in the world who deserves you. If you want the world, I can get it for you. "

"As expected of the God of War, you are proficient in military tactics and trickery." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Didn't I fall into your trap?"

Mu Cang smiled and said, "It's too late to regret."

Yan Li glanced at him sideways, "I wonder which country the God of War will defend in the future?"

"I am willing to protect all the countries related to you." Mu Cang lowered his head slightly and kissed her forehead, "Mu, Jin, and Nan are all allies within a hundred years."

Yan Li's mouth curled up slightly, and he lowered his eyes and sipped his tea.

"This winter, the snow seems to come a little late." After drinking a cup of tea, Yan Li put the teacup aside and looked at the sunny morning outside, "Nanguo used to start snowing in early November, but this year it's already a month late. "

"It will snow." Mu Cang took her hand and walked out. "Auspicious snow means a good harvest. The return of Her Majesty the Queen is a good omen."

"Mu Cang, if you stay in the South Country in the future, you can go to the Priest's Hall to practice. If you are in Jin or Mu, you can go to the Imperial Observatory to work." Yan Li said calmly, "Since there will be no war in the future, you, the God of War, will have no place to use your skills. It is better to observe the sky at night and become a sorcerer who can predict the future."

"That won't work." Mu Cang smiled. "If you don't want to be a God of War, you can still be the husband of the Queen. Wherever you are, I will be there."

The two walked out while talking and laughing, but when they walked out of the courtyard, they suddenly heard a sound of galloping horses.

Yan Li looked up.

A dark red cloak was blown by the wind, and the long-lost and familiar face came into view.

The King of the South, Xuanyuan Heng, rode a horse and came alone.

Arriving outside the courtyard, he dismounted and looked at the carriage parked outside the gate, then at Mu Cang and Yan Li who stepped out of the gate, with a calm expression: "Are you planning to set off?"
