Chapter 436: Xizi Ke'er's Return Gift

r, why do you have to hide this from me"Feng Ming let out a light laugh, "Actually, my brother and your northern border king have the same idea. There are some things that if you knew, would only add...Anshi Tang and Mo Junyi watched Liu Gonggong's rolling and crawling back, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily showed disdain.

Especially seeing a large, wet patch on his butt, Mo Junyi rolled his eyes directly. This Liu Gonggong is really such a coward!

It's just a few tigers, yet they scared him into looking like he's about to die.

At this moment, Mo Junyi came back to his senses and looked at An Xuetang, asking with a hint of concern, "Mother, are you really alright"

An Xuetang shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, Mother could have anything to worry about Come on, it's a bit cold outside, let's go into the tent. There are some things I want to tell you."

She was about to leave Beijiang and enter the capital to look for her brother, Ajing. Currently, there were some matters that still needed to be finished by Mo Junyi.

Mother and son entered the camp, An Xuetang then told Mo Junyi about how to contact Mo Rui, and wrote a letter and several prescriptions for relieving pulmonary tuberculosis, handing them to Mo Junyi.

This man, although afflicted with the incurable disease of tuberculosis, possesses a character and integrity that surpass those of ordinary men. Such a person is highly credible.

"And have him stock up on the materials we need. As long as no one knows about his connection to us, he can stockpile as much as he wants without attracting the enemy's attention."

"...One more important point: Dinghua and the others are in the same city as Mo Rui. As long as Mo Rui manages to buy the materials, Dinghua can completely transport them to our northern border."

Mo Junyi nodded slightly, "Alright, my son understands what mother wants to do. Rest assured, I will send someone to find Master Mo Rui."

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. This trip to the capital, besides seeking Luo, all the other sisters-in-law who are looking for Tanggu have been left to you. If you have any questions, just ask them."

"For example, when it came to finding Mo Rui, seeking out Hong Wu would have been a good choice. He's skilled in martial arts and light on his feet. However, your mother doesn't interfere with your standards for choosing people. If you think someone is trustworthy and capable, then use them."

Mo Junyi nodded slightly, his emotions a little low as he hummed in response, "Child understands, but Mother, are you really going back alone Why don't you and child switch places Let the child go back, and you stay in Beijiang."

An Xuetang smiled and rubbed his little head, "This matter need not be discussed further. Mother must enter the capital."

Mo Junyi regarded An Xue Tang as a mother figure from the bottom of his heart, so he was genuinely worried about her trip to the capital.

He, who grew up in the capital since childhood, understood that kind of environment too well. For many people, the capital is a very prosperous place, a place everyone yearns for.

At the same time, the capital city is a place that fills people with fear and makes them have to be careful everywhere, living on edge at all times.

He felt a pang of guilt watching An Xuetang enter that kind of place. Mo Jiuming just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Seeing that he still wanted to say something, An Xuetang touched his head and smiled:

"Alright, you mustn't try to persuade me anymore. To be honest with you, I miss your fifth uncle dearly. I miss him so much that I can't eat or sleep well without him. Don't you have a heart to see your mother missing him so"

“...”

Listening to An Xue Tang express her longing for Mo Yun Jing in this way, Mo Jun Yi's small face instantly flushed red.

His mother-in-law was indeed no ordinary woman. She expressed her love and longing for someone so openly, which he had never heard before.

Seeing Mo Junyi blush, An Xuetang giggled and couldn't help but reach out to ruffle his hair, "Our little Zi Ling is so cute."

People these days express love and affection in a very subtle way.

Especially among women of this era, they were incredibly reserved. They wouldn't even dare to glance at a man they liked, their faces would blush for days afterward.

But now she can just casually say whatever thoughts and musings come to mind, how could Mo Junyi not blush and have his heart race hearing it

The mother and son chatted for a while, then Shou'er's voice rang out from outside, requesting to see An Xue Tang.

An Xue Tang immediately let her in. Shou'er bowed to An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi after which she took out a letter and handed it to An Xue Tang:

"Your Highness, Princess Xizi of Xi Liang has received the various medicines you sent her. This letter was secretly delivered by her people. She says that the contents of this letter are a gift from her to you in return."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, she gave Xizi Ke'er those life-saving antidote pills out of fear that she would be poisoned by Xizi Panger.

The antidote to a hundred poisons was given to Xizi Ke'er, hoping that she would be able to protect herself if she ever encountered danger.

Because An Xuetang heard that Xizi P'er was skilled in using poison, when she sent the antidote to Xizi Ke'er, she also gave her several bottles of poisons she had personally prepared, including a drop that could seal the throat and some chronic poisons.

If Xizi (Western Lady) could use such despicable methods as poisoning, so could Xizi 'er.

Xizi Ke'er's return gift was completely beyond An Xue Tang's expectation. At this moment, An Xue Tang opened the envelope. There was no letter inside, only a map.

This map shows a path from Xiliang Kingdom to the capital of Tianba Kingdom, avoiding soldiers from both countries.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. She really didn't expect Xizi Ke'er to give her such a 'heavy' return gift.

When she sent those medicines, she hadn't thought about Xizi Ke'er returning the gift or anything like that, but she didn't expect that Xizi Ke'er's return gift would be such an important map now

However, this is also a way for Xizi Ke'er to show her stance.

Xizi Ke'er returned the gift, not only indicating that she had accepted the kindness but also expressing that as long as she became the emperor of Xiliang country, she would definitely not take the initiative to provoke war with Tianba country or the northern border territories.

An Xue Tang passed the map to Mo Jun Yi, "Zi Ling, memorize this route. If you ever have any problems in the future, have someone enter the capital through this path and inform us."

I have to admit, though this road from Xiliang Kingdom to the capital city is a bit roundabout, it's very safe.

This road winds along a small path around the mountains. The kind of rugged mountain you wouldn't normally notice on an ordinary day. So, entering the capital from here can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

Mo Junyi's eyes lit up when he saw the map. After obediently memorizing the path, he looked at An Xuetang, "Mother, can we trust this Xi Zicai"

An Xuetang curled her lips and smiled faintly, and spoke leisurely, "As for being able to believe it, mother, I won't say anything else. When it comes to judging people, she's still quite accurate."

"If this Xi Zi Ke'er is to be trusted, then madam, you could take this route into the capital. This road is much safer than the others."

"No, Mother cannot go down that path."

Mò Jūn Yì blinked in confusion, "Hmm What can't be done"The late Emperor's illness back then might have something to do with Dean Ye. And for so many years, the Emperor hasn't removed Dean Ye's family from power. There must be some unknown reason behind t...
