Chapter 203: Linglang Pavilion is home to many hidden talents. We will meet again in the future.
Su Muxi made a big fuss about this, and now everyone knew that Prince Huaiyang had arrived in Xishui Town and was returning to Beijing to attend his grandson's engagement party.
The owner of the hexagonal building still looked as noble as ever. He walked down the stairs gracefully, followed by a golden hand like a fairy, and the flower ornament on his forehead was sparkling with golden light.
"Prince Huaiyang, Princess Anping, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person. I hope you will forgive me."
The clothes embroidered with gold thread made him look noble and dignified. Jinhuazun had a relaxed posture, as if Su Muxi was his close friend. There was no trace of the embarrassment of having shot someone's arm through a few months ago.
He raised his head slightly and made a gesture of invitation. "Two distinguished guests, please come in. The hexagonal building has been completely cleared. Your Majesty and Princess, please have a good rest."
"Boss Jin is very generous," Su Muxi said casually to King Huaiyang, "Then King Huaiyang should have a good rest and don't let Boss Jin down."
Prince Huaiyang thought that Su Muxi and Boss Jin were in cahoots and their purpose was to monitor him. "I am indeed a little tired, so I will go to rest first."
"Your Highness, please have a good rest. Once your attendants arrive, we will return to the capital immediately." Su Muxi escorted the person to the room, then turned to Jin Chanshou who was following beside her and said, "Miss Jin, can you please have a word with me for a moment?"
"Of course, please, Princess." With a white scarf covering her nose, she moved her eyes and took a deep look at Jinhua Zun beside her, then followed Su Muxi into the room.
Su Muxi didn't want to do anything, she just asked some questions, such as how to solve some poisons, whether there is a chance to cure the heart-eating insect, and whether the insect can be lured out.
Su Muxi didn't really ask Xiao Yunjin for medicine, but she asked Xiao Yunjin if he knew who Linglang Pavilion belonged to, but Xiao Yunjin said he didn't know, she mocked him, even disdainfully, and retorted: "This is what you call honesty."
But Xiao Yunjin remained silent for a long time, and when she was about to fall asleep, he said that he really didn't know, and that after she died, he committed suicide with Su Muxi's dagger.
At that moment, Su Muxi couldn't describe her feeling. She just felt dazed and couldn't believe that the man who, in her heart, would do anything for power would die by suicide.
She didn't say a word that night and didn't respond. Xiao Yunjin's words were so soft that she thought they were hallucinations.
Since he doesn't know, Su Muxi will check it out herself.
She specifically mentioned the matter of the heart-eating poison just to test it out. She also brought Prince Huaiyang here on purpose to disrupt the situation. She didn't believe that the people hiding behind Linglang Pavilion were just a gang organization and had nothing to do with the imperial power.
She knew she couldn't get anything out of them, so she just wanted to scare them. After sending Jin Chan away, she slept leisurely for the whole afternoon, then walked out of the hexagonal building in the dark, walked around the courtyard of Linglang Pavilion, and attracted many secret guards.
Su Muxi had been trapped by Xiao Yunjin for two days, and she was feeling depressed. So she wanted to vent her feelings. She turned Linglang Pavilion upside down, and finally broke into Boss Jin's dormitory and carried out an assassination.
Su Muxi did not reveal the fact that her right hand was healed, and deliberately fought him with her left hand. He was good at archery but average in close combat. Su Muxi could not kill him with her left-handed sword, but she was sure to stab him.
Su Muxi was not afraid of being exposed at all. The dagger was the one she was most comfortable with, without any disguise.
Her short sword was fast and flexible, without any fancy moves, and every time she swung her sword she aimed at the opponent's arm. Jinhua Zun's weapon was a long sword, thin and long, like a sharp arrow.
As far as weapons are concerned, an inch longer is an inch stronger, but Jinhua Zun did not feel the slightest advantage. Su Muxi always stayed within half a foot of him and fought him closely, so his long sword became a burden.
Both arms were scratched successively, and the brocade clothes made of gold embroidery thread were torn into pieces by Su Muxi, and one of the wide sleeves was even cut off by Su Muxi.
Jin Huazun was in a state of disgrace, but fortunately Jin Chanshou finally arrived. Su Muxi tried a few moves and found that Jin Chanshou was very powerful. She had no weapons, but the gloves on her hands could catch her sharp blade with her bare hands.
One for close combat and the other for long-range combat. It was obvious that these two had practiced together and were partners. Su Muxi did not dare to underestimate the enemy. After Jin Huazun escaped from his control, he immediately retreated to prevent him from having a chance to get his bow and arrow that never missed.
"Linglang Pavilion is home to many talents. We will meet again in the future."
Su Muxi said something and flew away.
The secret guards who came over wanted to chase after them, but were stopped by Jin Hua Zun, "Everyone, retreat!"
Jin Chan took off her gloves one finger at a time, "It's Su Muxi, you're amazing."
Jin Huazun was still in shock. He wanted to straighten his sleeve, but found that half of it was missing. "Fortunately, I shot her in the arm last time, otherwise she would be in danger today."
"She asked me about the Heart-Eating Gu today. What do you think she meant by that?"
"I don't know. Report it to the master!" Jin Huazun was also confused. Linglang Pavilion first noticed Su Muxi because after King Jin passed away, she offered a reward of 100,000 taels to assassinate Xiao Yunjin who was already dead.
Later, he sent someone with one million taels of silver to intercept Xiao Yunjin.
Now he is asking about the Heart-Eating Gu in Xiao Yunjin's body, "Maybe it is to confuse us and tell the messenger to be careful."
Su Muxi returned to the Hexagonal Building and was blocked by Cang Jue, "Princess, please don't make things difficult for your subordinates."
"Cang Jue, I have something for you to do," Su Muxi not only ignored Cang Jue's difficulties, but even made things worse.
Just now he was asked to guard Prince Huaiyang. When he heard the fighting outside, his forehead was twitching. Now when he heard that there was another mission, his heart sank.
"Princess, please give your orders."
"It's very simple. I just made a scene in the courtyard. Someone will definitely send a letter out soon. No matter what method you use, follow the person who sent the letter and see where the letter is sent." Su Muxi finished her plan and looked at Cang Jue with a smile, "You don't need to determine who it is, just determine the location."
"It's very simple. Since Xiao Yunjin trusts you, you should be able to help me complete it, right?"
The mission was very simple, just following someone, there was really no danger, but his mission was to ensure Su Muxi's safety.
Cang Jue followed his master more often and took the trouble to guess Su Muxi's personality. He knew that this job was not easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He also understood Cang Ying's suffering. If he listened to the princess, the master would punish him. If he disobeyed the princess, the master would punish him even more.
"Yes, I obey your command," Cang Jue accepted the task resignedly, thinking about how to leave a message so that he could inform his master as soon as possible.
After Cang Jue left, Su Muxi glanced at Prince Huaiyang's door, then turned and went to the next room. Without the annoying Xiao Yunjin around, she rested especially well.
Early the next morning, Prince Huaiyang's entourage arrived, and with them came a small group of soldiers, the largest number of troops within the reasonable range of a vassal prince's command.
Su Muxi took a quick look and saw that the horses were strong and the soldiers were skilled and capable. They should be the best elite troops.
Prince Huaiyang finally had his own people around him, and he instantly gained confidence. "Thank you for yesterday, Princess. Since my personal attendants are here, I won't bother you to pick up the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Prince Huaiyang, you don't have to be polite. I have already sent a message to the emperor. I believe someone will come to greet you in person soon. However, it will take two days, so it is better for me to stay here. After all, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."
