Chapter 120: The Son Prays
Since Xiaoman replied to the king of the south, agreeing that the Yasukuni and Shengxing dynasties would never attack the Ning kingdom within five years, and the king of the south must release Wu Tingzhong's family as a condition, more than a month has passed, and now he has finally waited for the shadow to reply.
Sure enough, as Chi Xiaoman expected, King Dingnan did not agree to such conditions so easily.
Because what he wants is not a short five-year peace, but long-term stability, after all, with the weakness of the Ning Kingdom, even if he gets five years of recuperation, he will still not be able to attack the Yasukuni or Shengxing Dynasty. But Xiaoman could not give a "long-term" promise, not to mention that the Yasukuni Emperor would not agree, and the Shengxing Dynasty would not agree to this agreement.
Before the shadow set off to Ningguo, he was ordered by the pavilion captain Chi Mu, as long as King Dingnan did not release the hostages after receiving the letter, they could act directly and secretly rescue the hostages.
It's a pity that they failed to save people for the first time.
"It failed, and the people who were sent there were not badly wounded...... It seems that the king of Dingnan also expected that if he did not agree to such conditions, we would secretly save people. Yu Chimu said after taking the letterhead to Xiao Man.
"I didn't expect King Dingnan's people to be so powerful, could it be that Ning Qingyun made a move by himself?" Xiao Man sneered: "He thinks that if we take the hostages, we can't take him?"
"He sees that you won't sacrifice Wu Tingzhong's family, so you can have no fear. As long as the hostages are in hand, whether the emperor of Yasukuni or Shengxing Dynasty wants to send troops to attack Ningguo, you will have some scruples and intervene. "Yu Chimu knows Xiaoman better than King Dingnan, so what King Dingnan wants, he can't think of.
"He's despicable. Mu, in the Shadow Pavilion, apart from you, there is no one whose martial arts are higher than his
"Chi Xiaoman asked. She had never seen Yu Chimu fight with Ning Qingyun, and she didn't know who had more powerful martial arts, but she selfishly thought that Yu Chimu was more powerful, but as a last resort, she didn't want Yu Chimu to go to Ning Country to save people in person.
Before Yu Chimu could answer, a slave came to report outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, saying that Shang Ziqi had come to ask for a meeting.
The servants of the palace did not know the identity of the master of the Huai'an King Shadow Pavilion, so naturally they did not know that Shang Ziqi was a person from the Shadow Pavilion, and Wei Chimu did not instruct them to let Shang Ziqi enter the Huai'an Palace without notification like Du Qingyang, the lord of the Earthquake Castle, so it was reasonable to let Shang Ziqi wait outside the palace.
Chi Xiaoman's face showed joy, and he looked at Wei Chimu, "Brother Shang has recovered?" After asking, he hurriedly said to the servant who came to report: "Invite him over." β
The servant was also a clever person, and he knew that the princess meant that he would ask Shang Ziqi to come directly to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and immediately took the order and left.
After the servant left, Wei Chimu said: "Ziqi's injury is almost healed before the year, but I didn't let him go on a mission, and still let him recuperate at the main altar. β
Xiao Man has always been very concerned about Shang Ziqi's injury, after all, he was seriously injured to protect himself, although he could learn about the recovery of Shang Da's injury from Xiao Twelve every month, but during the previous year, Xiao Twelve was busy looking for the "diamond" to "ask Xiaolian for marriage", so he didn't return to the main altar of the Shadow Pavilion, so he didn't know that Shang Ziqi's injury was completely healed. And Yu Chimu was worried about the assassin's affairs, and he forgot to tell SΓΉ Xiaoman about it, so Xiaoman only knew that Shang Ziqi had recovered.
"Zi prayed to see the prince and the princess. Before long, a familiar voice appeared outside the door.
"Brother Shang, Xiaoman misses you so much!" Chi Xiaoman stepped forward excitedly, took his hand and said.
Shang Ziqi blushed, looking at King Huai'an nervously, the hand held by Chi Xiaoman was not broken, and it was not if he didn't earn, so he was so embarrassed and stiff.
"Xiaoman, you see that you are nervous, and you don't want to put your claws down quickly. Yu Chimu said with a smile. He knew that Xiao Manxin was like this, and he was not angry.
Xiao Man let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Shang is still so shy." Then he put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Shang, if it weren't for Xiaoman, Brother Shang wouldn't have been so seriously injured." β
Shang Ziqi's face turned even redder, and he stammered a little and said, "The king and princess are serious, this is what their subordinates should do." β
Xiao Man said angrily: "Who said that this should be, Brother Shang is a very important person to Xiao Man! β
"Ziqi should have something important to do, right?" Seeing that Xiao Man continued to make trouble like this, Shang Ziqi's face was about to turn red to the point of dripping blood, and Yu Chimu hurriedly rescued him and said.
Sure enough, Shang Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't deal with Chi Xiaoman, he wanted him to go into battle to kill the enemy, and asked him to block the sword and die for the prince and princess, he could not change his face, but in the face of Chi Xiaoman, he always couldn't even speak well.
"Back to the prince, Ziqi is here to ask for his life, and I hope that the prince will send Ziqi to Ningguo to rescue Wu Tingzhong's family. Naoko bowed her head and clenched her fists.
The news of all the Shadow Envoy missions would be transmitted back to the General Altar, so he knew that the Pavilion Master had sent the Shadow to Ningguo, and he also knew that the Shadow sent to save people had failed.
"Brother Shang, how is your martial arts compared to the King of Ning Guodingnan?" Chi Xiaoman frowned, she didn't want him to be hurt again.
"When it is...... Something is not as good as that. After speaking, Shang Ziqi immediately said: "But the subordinates will not confront them head-on, please give the subordinates a chance!" (to be continued......)
