Chapter 3: Clash of Light and Dark
Eighty miles away, at the foot of the green mountain, a batch of goods was stopped by the Royal Yulin Army, and the soldiers at the head were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. "What do you mean by that?" Shang Jin said slowly, with a faint edge in his tone.
"Shang Gongzi don't be impatient, this king just wants to invite you to a cup of tea and get in the car." A man's muffled voice came from the carriage opposite. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and lifted the curtain of the car.
The interior of the car was surprisingly spacious. The four walls are pasted with ancient printed paper, and the furnishings are mainly in white tones, which is simple and reveals a trace of wordless nobility.
In front of him, the person who had seen him, Wei Chixuan, and the third prince of Qi were still dressed in white robes, playing with the jade wrench fingers with their hands, and when they saw him coming, they bowed their heads slightly, stretched out their hands and signaled: "Sit, drink tea." ”
Shang Jin looked at the white porcelain cup in his hand, the light green tea in the cup was steaming with a faint heat, and the dark blue tea leaves were like small beads, floating quietly. The entrance is slightly bitter, and gradually the sweetness spreads to the base of the tongue, flowing into the limbs, and the mind is refreshed. He smiled slightly and said, "Good tea." ”
"Shang Gongzi has the same taste as this king. This tea, after the precipitation of water, has the best taste; If you drink it immediately, you will lose its original mellow aroma. ”
Shang Jin played with the small porcelain cup in his hand, and said leisurely: "This son can only drink good tea, and he has not studied it, so he can't understand the reason." Ming people don't say secret words, what is the important matter for the three princes to find me? Yu Chixuan took a sip of tea:
"In that case, I'm not going around in circles. I wonder if the merchant can lend me the horses? Once the matter is done, it will be returned immediately. ”
"The country of Qi has thousands of troops and horses, why do you still ask my son to borrow someone?" Shang Jin heard him call himself "I", and raised his eyebrows differently: What is the matter, so that the three princes of the dignified Qi Kingdom need to lower their status so much to tell him?
"This matter needs to be hidden from the eyes and ears of other countries' secret agents. Borrow your caravan to save you unnecessary trouble; Second, I can rest assured that you are using your people. ”
"Oh? This son is not a righteous gentleman, where did the third prince get his confidence? Isn't it...... Love at first sight for this son? It's so funny, I didn't know I was a man and a woman......" Shang Jin slowly put down the teacup, the corners of his eyes raised.
"Master Shang, what I want to accomplish is related to your mother Mu. If you're wondering, in return, I can send you a message from her. Wei Chixuan interrupted his self-affirmation and put forward conditions.
Shang Jin put away his evil smile, was stunned, and thought: Over the years, he has been looking for news of his mother. The outside world thought she died in the fire eight years ago. In fact, since then, he has received letters from his mother every month, and only the two of them know about it. It wasn't until last year that news of her suddenly cut off. He ordered his men to search through various channels, but to no avail. Now it seems that news is better than nothing.
"Deal." He said.
......
The sun shines through the bare branches, casting a faint silhouette. The sky is blue and dotted with flowing clouds.
"Childe, there is something to report in the shadows."
"What?"
"According to the information provided by the three princes of Qi Kingdom, the last place where Lady Mu appeared was Bingcheng, which was outside the Shenzhou Continent; The ancient books are simply recorded, but they say that they have existed for a long time and are mysterious; Other than that, no other information can be found. ”
"Keep looking! Focus on the specific location and entry method of the ice city, and report it immediately as soon as you have a harvest. ”
"Yes."
Corner, alley.
"Uncle, you will be noble, spare the little girl, please!" A soft, slightly weeping female voice pleaded.
"Spare you? Why did you let Uncle Ben spare you, huh? A big man said as he looked at the woman in white with greedy eyes. The woman lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covering the flash of murderous intent in her eyes. The big man with a tiger's back was unaware, and when he saw that the woman was silent, his restless hand was about to put his arm around her shoulder.
Shang Jin frowned, and just wanted to make a move, only to hear a "woo", as if a cry for help came from deep in his throat. The big man, who was extremely powerful one second, collapsed on the ground as fragile as rice paper the next second. Looking at his face, his lips were blue and purple, and Yin Tang was black, and he had died of severe poison in his body. His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
The woman straightened up with a blank face, untied the white veil that was draped over her body, and threw it beside him. He took out a small black jar from his sleeve and dropped something. In an instant, the man and the white yarn turned into a puddle of black water. Her series of movements did not drag on the water, and it seemed that she had done it a thousand times. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise: What is this, the toxicity is so domineering?! And this woman...... It's familiar, I look like I've seen it somewhere.
A bewitching smile tugged at her lips, and in an instant, she looked like a Manju Sawa from the depths of hell, and a teardrop left on her cheek seemed so incompatible. Turning around, the green silk was blown by the breeze, and on the snowy skin shrouded in clothes, there was a faint bloom of a bewitching flower.
Waiting for the woman to walk away, Shang Jin shook her fan and walked out from the corner. I thought: I really didn't expect to meet her here. Tsk, this woman is really ruthless. is still a natural drama, tears flow when they are said, and stop when they are stopped. Interesting, interesting...... There was a hint of interest in his pure black eyes, and he walked towards the "Drunken Flower Building".

Shang Jin was lying on the silver beauty couch, playing with a pure white beauty under the moon (1) in his hand, and the faint fragrance spread. He was dressed in purple, and his black hair was as smooth as silk, and it was spread out on the couch. Embellishment with flowing clouds embroidered with gold wire, the whole person looks more androgynous, and the whole body exudes a neutral beauty. His sexy and seductive voice said, "Spread the darkness." ”
"Yes, Lord."
"Lord, the news you asked your subordinates to inquire about last time has been settled." Ying Mo, the head of the dark department, said.
"Oh?"
"It's like this: Yesterday, there was a letter from Gan's domestic visit, and a banquet was held in the Yinduo Palace, inviting the ministers of the DPRK and China to come and see the rare treasures obtained by chance. According to reliable sources, this treasure is the black black wood recorded in ancient books that originated from the ice city. Shang Jin sat up suddenly, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and said:
"Liu Shiyi, order someone to prepare a car, and go to the banquet as the prime minister of Ganguo Xu."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
"Also, help me check someone......"
Ganguo, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Master Shang, please come here." In the middle of the hall, on a mahogany chair, sat a man in his forties and fifties, although he was nearly middle-aged, his skin did not show the marks of time, and his gestures were thick with a bookish atmosphere. This is Prime Minister Xu Cheng, Xu Yi. Shang Jin met him earlier in business and was like-minded with him, so he recognized him as his uncle. The lady next to him was about 20 years old, dressed in a goose-yellow pleated skirt with embroidered flowers, her skin became whiter and tenderer, and she could be blown and broken, who would have thought that she was already a mother of two children?
