Chapter 6 Make a plan
"Knock Knock"
"Come in." Shang Jin fidgeted, and when he saw someone coming, a smile broke out on his originally expressionless face, and said:
"Why are you here?"
Mu Ningjiu looked at his smile that was more ugly than crying, paused, and then smiled:
"I'm here to talk to you about saving your mother."
When Shang Jin heard this, he raised his head: "You know." He didn't seem surprised by this answer, Mu Ningjiu raised his eyebrows:
"Well, what I don't understand is, why did your mother leave the Shenzhou Continent back then? As far as I know, the Ice Clan has not had any contact with the Divine Continent for decades. β
"If that's the case, maybe it has something to do with the Ice City King."
"Really? He's just a bad old man with empty ambitions, and in addition to being quite annoying, but... ...... "Princess Bingcheng is Shang Jin's mother, isn't this Bingcheng King his grandfather?" Now it's okay, and scolded him in front of his grandson......
Shang Jin smiled bitterly: "You are right, you don't have to feel that there is anything wrong." I'm really puzzled, how did you say he became my grandfather? β
"Hmm... So what are you going to do now? β
"I have an idea."
"Tell me about it."
"Under the pretext of marrying, let Prince Hatcher take his mother out of the ice city first, and then I will take my mother back."
"It sounds quite doable, but how do you convince Prince Hatcher, I think he really likes your mother, and he won't give up so easily."
"If I just go straight and tell him the truth, saying that my mother already has someone she likes, and I am her son, what do you think is the chance of winning?"
"Hmm...... Look at Hatcher's character, machismo, love and hate, straight to the point. If you say so, it will be a blow to him, and to the whole people; Second, I'm afraid it's impossible to like your mother without guilt. After all, men still care a lot about women's chastity. So ......"
"So?"
"The odds are good." Mu Ningjiu winked at him and said, "That's it." Now, do you want to meet your mother? I happen to have something for her too. β
"This huge palace has countless rooms, and we don't know where she is."
"Yes, we don't know." "But," she snapped her fingers, and continued:
"Mumu can help us find it." Shang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Mu Ningjiu say: "Sometimes, you have to admit it, Mu Mu, is still very powerful." β
β...... Woo, sort of. Mu Ningjiu looked at his reluctant but compromised appearance, and laughed.
As soon as they went out, they met Wei Chixuan, who came to look for them. Mu Ningjiu beckoned at him and asked:
"Wei Chi, what's the matter?"
"Ning Jiu, Brother Shang, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
"Wei Chi?"
"I also want to wait until Brother Shang finds his mother and leaves the ice city together. But......" he paused, "I received a letter before entering the ice city, saying that my brother's situation is not optimistic. He's been asleep for so long, I don't know what the consequences would have been if I had gone back a moment late. β
"Brother Wei Chi, since your brother's condition is critical, naturally there is no delay. My mother's affairs are already known, you don't have to worry, it's better to leave the ice city as soon as possible with Han Silk Grass. β
"Well, leave it at that."
"Well, we'll see you soon."
Shang Jin Mu Ning Jiu looked for Mu Mu, and the three of them walked through the entire apse, but they couldn't see a single maid. Mu Ningjiu wondered: Didn't there be a lot of palace ladies serving in the main hall before, why aren't there any here?
They walked around to the door, and finally saw a guard, Mu Changfeng asked, "Do you know where the princess lives?" β
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The king has instructed that the princess is about to get married, and it is inconvenient to see anyone." So, please don't ask any more questions. β
I'm about to get married, and it's inconvenient to see people? Oh, isn't it just imprisoning my mother in disguise to ensure that the marriage is achieved? It sounds so high-sounding...... The more Shang Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, and his hands clenched into fists.
"In that case, forget it." Mu Changfeng pretended to turn around, and just as the guards relaxed their vigilance, he suddenly pinched the trick and recited silently, and the blue spiritual power surrounded the guard's forehead.
"I have to come hard...... "he pouted and complained, "Say, where is the princess's bed?" β
There was a moment of clarity in the guard's eyes, but he was quickly dominated by spiritual power: "...... In the eastern side room, the innermost one. He muttered involuntarily, unaware of what he was saying.
"That's it!" Mu Changfeng withdrew his spiritual power, raised his head towards Mu Ningjiu, and grinned after receiving the other party's thumb.
The guard was in a trance, and when he saw Mu Changfeng and his party walking past him, he was stunned: When did they come over? Why don't you have any impressions...... It must have been a desertion. He shook his head and stood up straight, staring intently at the top of the snow-capped mountain opposite.
Eastern partial house.
Carol sat on the bed, repeatedly recalling the appearance of Shang Jin in the main hall. For many days and nights, she struggled on the edge of pain and resentment, expecting Jin'er to find this place countless times, and countless times not wanting him to be discovered by that vicious old man and put him in danger. But the moment she really saw Jin'er's face, she was ecstatic.
It turned out that she wanted to see him so much...... She selfishly left clues all the way, but in the end, she dragged him into this endless strife...... She stared blankly at the sun-drenched mountain top in front of her, and bitterness welled up in her heart. I really want to... I'd love to see him, but I can't. The thought came flooding back, and she dug her nails deep into the palms of her hands, as if this was the only way to restrain her urge to go to her son.
Shang Jin saw the two guards guarding the door and frowned: Just two guards? Was the old man too relieved that his mother wouldn't run away, or did he do it on purpose? Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the abundant spiritual power surrounding the guards, and said:
"Tsk, McGee is really ...... Specially sent such elite soldiers to guard his daughter? How worried about this family business is? β
"Are they good?" Shang Jin asked.
"It's equivalent to an elder-level figure in the clan." Mu Changfeng smacked his lips and said.
"Elder?! Such a young ......" Mu Ningjiu was surprised.
"Not necessarily, if they are talented, they will not change their faces when they reach their twenties, that's what they look like."
"Well, your mother looks like a flower girl in her twenties, so it's no wonder McGee asked her to get married." Mu Ningjiu turned his head and said to Shang Jin.
Shang Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
"Mumu, do you have any stealth techniques or something that can let us in?"
"That's the only one I can use for high-level spells......," he sneered, "This, even if I could, they would all be first-class ice warriors, and they would definitely notice it." β
Shang Jin ravaged his sleeves irritably, staring anxiously at the door, as if he could see through it.
Mu Ningjiu suddenly asked, "Mu Mu, can the booklet you give me deal with them?" β
"Although I can't understand the content, my father said that it contains a lot of secret techniques that have been handed down from ancient times, and if you can use it, it must be extremely powerful." Mu Ningjiu pondered for a long time, then looked at Shang Jin and said:
"I'll do my best." Shang Jin looked at Mu Ningjiu with fixed eyes, and the silent trust and encouragement conveyed in it made Mu Ningjiu feel a steady stream of power flowing in her limbs, which really surprised her.
She took ten steps back, avoiding alarming the guards. Closing her eyes and exhaling, her five fingers opened, and Xun reappeared, blooming with a faint brilliance. Fingers rise and fall, blowing a silent tune. The light gathered by the rhythm between them was dispersed into two strands, surrounding him and Shang Jin. Shang Jin raised his hand and found that he was gradually becoming transparent, and looked at Mu Ningjiu in surprise.
"This spell can be invisible through walls, but it can only last for a moment. My spiritual power is limited, Mu Mu, you can check the situation outside. β
"Okay." As soon as the words fell, Mu Ningjiu picked up Shang Jin, who was in a trance, and rushed to the room. Shang Jin looked at the marble faΓ§ade that was getting closer and closer to him, and subconsciously closed his eyes, and the next moment, he stood in the room with Mu Ningjiu and saw the woman in blue by the window.
"Mother......" He called in a hoarse voice, his voice was neither heavy nor light, but it was still heard by the elite soldiers outside the door.
The "click" door was opened, and Mu Ningjiu pulled Shang Jin to quickly dodge and hide under the bed.
"Princess, have you noticed any suspicious characters?"
"Nope."
"For your safety, please allow the little ones to come in and search." With that, he rushed into the room. He looked at the curtains and then the wardrobe, and then he looked at the tassels beside the bed that were not still and swayed slightly, one step, two steps, three steps......
At the bottom of the bed, Mu Ningjiu and Shang Jin held their breath and concentrated, their hearts were like drums, and in this moment of silence, they were extremely clear. The guards seemed to hear something, and were about to lift the bed curtain to find out......
"Enough! Besides, Princess Ben is also an unmarried woman, is it inappropriate for you to openly break into my room without permission? Don't quit yet! β
"Princess, we are under the king's command to protect you and eliminate any potential danger. As for this last place, after the investigation, we immediately retreated. The guard said righteously, without a trace of expression.
"Don't forget, I'm a princess. I warn you, if you have to make another inch......" She took out an ice sword out of nowhere, and said fiercely:
"Don't force me, when the time comes, the old man will ask for the guilt, and you will all have to bury me!"
When the guard heard this, horror appeared on his expressionless face, his eyes widened and he waved his hand again and again, and said:
"Princess, princess, don't think about it! We retreat, we retreat. β
"Bang-" The door slammed shut.
Carol sat in bed in prostration: so dangerous...... It seems that he still has some use for that old immortal, and if he didn't marry the Fire Clan, he wouldn't let me die easily.
