At the other end of Lingyun Pavilion, Liu Xi leaned against a chair with a dark face. Just awhile ago he had accidentally saw the shadow of two overlapping figures at the window of Yun Feiyu’s room. At that time, all he wished to do was to tear up that gentle face.

Lan Lan, who got up in the middle of the night, saw that the light in her son’s room was still on so she walked over to take a look.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Seeing that her son seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds, she couldn’t help but ask worriedly: “Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”

He had been fantasizing on how to use the torture methods he learned before on Yun Feiyu. It was not until Lan Lan spoke did he realize that Lan Lan had even arrived in front of him.

Liu Xi hurriedly got up and supported Lan Lan to sit down in a chair. He asked, “Mother, why aren’t you resting at this late hour?”

Lan Lan looked at her son’s beautiful face that could bring calamity to a country and the people, and sighed slightly: “Is it because of the Crown Prince?”

Liu Xi turned away slightly and denied: “No, don’t think too much.”

“Xiao Xi……” Lan Lan called him softly, her slender white fingers stroked Liu Xi’s cheeks and her eyes gradually moistened.

Liu Xi took Lan Lan’s hand and felt a slight pain in his heart: “Mother, what’s wrong, don’t cry.”

“Xiao Xi, the Crown Prince is the future Emperor, and the harem will always be there. If you want to stay with him, then don’t fall in love with him. But you have such a face, if you don’t stay with the Crown Prince, the best thing to do would be to destroy it. Don’t follow in my fate.”

Liu Xi looked at Lan Lan with red eyes: “Mother, I know. It’s late now, go back and rest.”

Lan Lan nodded and said: “You have to make a decision as soon as possible. Either leave as soon as possible, or become someone the Crown Prince can’t replace.”

“I know, mother.”

Lan Lan took a deep look at Liu Xi, then sighed lightly and walked away.

After watching Lan Lan leave, Liu Xi closed the door and paced irritably in the room.

Su Mu woke up in the morning light, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Feiyu’s face very close to his.

The next thing he felt was his energetic little brother in close contact with the other’s equally energetic little brother.

Su Mu moved slightly, and then he felt the weight of a person on his body. In the next moment, all that could be heard was the creaking from the rather old wooden bed underneath them.

After exercising for half an hour in the morning, Su Mu got out of bed with a ruddy face.

This lifestyle could not be any healthier.

In the end, Su Mu decided to go see the princess by himself. Of course he could not let others take advantage of his own man.

In the Crown Prince’s palace of Wu kingdom, Sun Hongyu led Su Mu to the backyard with a smile on his face.

Su Mu said goodbye to Sun Hongyu with a fake smile, and followed the maid through the backyard of the Crown Prince’s palace.

A slender figure stood quietly in the drizzle, like a graceful rose in full bloom under the light rain. Su Mu lightly walked over, his voice softened out of respect for a lady: “Greetings to the princess, I am Su Mochi.”

Hongyun turned around. A thin veil covered her face, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth: “Hongyun, also greets the Crown Prince.”

Her voice was like the drizzling rain falling outside the pavilion, gentle but cool.

Su Mu truly felt pity for Wu kingdom’s blind nobles. Although the princess had some flaws, her bearing left those beautiful but vacuous women in the dust.

If it weren’t for him not having the heart to ruin the life of such a good girl, Su Mu really wouldn’t mind marrying the princess back to be the Empress. It would even save that group of old bastards from the imperial court the trouble of always thinking of throwing women at him.

The clear tea poured out from the long spout, and Su Mu looked at the elegant princess, not knowing how to open his mouth.

After all, for an ancient woman, such a rejection was tantamount to an insult, especially since she also had flaws. Her self-esteem would only be stronger.

Hongyun saw that Su Mu was embarrassed and smiled softly: “Your Highness doesn’t need to worry, I’ve been used to it for so many years.”

Su Mu smiled and said: “The princess is so extraordinary, how could a small flaw conceal that fact? It is that group of mortals who do not know to recognize a pearl. The princess need not pay them any heed.”

Princess Hongyun covered her lips and smiled lightly: “His Highness is really charming.”

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and said: “It is my honor to be praised by the princess.”

Princess Hongyun chuckled softly: “His Highness is here to ask me to persuade the Emperor to dispel the idea of ​​marriage.”

Su Mu said formally: “I must trouble the princess.”

“His Highness is too polite, it’s just a small matter. Besides, I also have something to ask Your Highness for help.” Princess Hongyun said.

Su Mu looked at her and asked, “What is it?”

“I want to leave the kingdom of Wu.” Princess Hongyun said.

“Why?” Su Mu wondered, how could a defenseless woman survive in this troubled world after leaving the kingdom of Wu?

Hongyun’s eyes were a little sad, and she said, “I want to find someone in Shi kingdom.”

Su Mu frowned and said: “Shi kingdom and Wu kingdom are enemies, if they discover that you are a princess of Wu……”

Su Mu didn’t finish speaking, but his unspoken words were quite clear. He didn’t believe that with the cleverness of Princess Hongyun, she would not be able to understand what kind of consequences might befall her if her identity was discovered.

But Princess Hongyun was unexpectedly determined about this, and Su Mu had no choice but to promise he would try his best.

After leaving, Su Mu suddenly remembered that the current Emperor of Shi kingdom seemed to have come to the Wu kingdom as a political hostage when he was younger. He wondered if the princess’s visit to Shi kingdom was related to this matter. (TN: princes were often sent to be held as a hostage in a neighbouring state in ancient China)

Shaking his head, Su Mu walked to Sun Hongyu’s study. Emperor Wu gave Sun Hongyu the responsibility for the lending of soldiers, and Sun Haoran, who would be leading the troops to Qing kingdom, was also present.

The three discussed for nearly half the day. Because of Su Mu’s persistence, it was finally determined that Su Mu would first leave with 50,000 troops back to Qing kingdom tomorrow. Because the other troops were stationed farther away, they decided that Sun Haoran would lead the remaining troops to Qing kingdom in four days, which was only later than Su Mu by three days.

In the evening, Su Mu received a strange letter stating that they knew Huang Xuan’s whereabouts.

Su Mu held the letter with dark eyes. Searching for Huang Xuan had been going on in secret. Only Su Mu and his hidden guards knew the complete details. Perhaps Yun Feiyu, Liu Xi and the others might have guessed something.

Who would be the sender? And even requesting that he arrive to the outskirts of the city by himself at night. Although he knew it might be a trap, Su Mu still decided to make the trip.

Night came, the moon was on a vacation, and the stars occupied the sky.

Su Mu came to the outskirts by himself according to the designated route.

In a valley, a tranquil villa with only a small candle lit inside could be seen, appearing rather gloomy and sinister.

Su Mu pushed open the blood-red wooden door and walked in slowly. As he passed by the white gauze hanging from the pillars, it really felt like a horror movie.

Su Mu frowned and continued to move forward. Who loved playing such tricks so much?

Suddenly a touch of white flashed in front of Su Mu, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu glanced at the place where the white shadow disappeared and continued to move forward.

A petal fell from the sky, followed by even more petals falling through the air. They fell on Su Mu like a flower rain.

The scent of flowers permeated the air. Su Mu raised his head and looked upwards, the pink petals landing on Su Mu’s cheeks.

Suddenly, a pair of sturdy arms wrapped themselves around Su Mu’s waist, but they were immediately shaken off by Su Mu’s internal force.

A swiftly moving white shadow appeared in front of Su Mu.

“Ye Qingfeng?” Su Mu looked at the man in exquisite and luxurious white robes in front of him in surprise. What made Su Mu speechless even more was that this guy even wore a white jade crown on his head, two long white satin hair ribbons trailing down behind him.

The overall package wasn’t too bad.

“Are you planning on going to a blind date.” Dressed in such a flashy manner, no matter how Su Mu looked at it he still felt displeased.

Ye Qingfeng had a wicked smile on his face as his eyes swept over Su Mu’s slender body. With an ambiguous and suggestive tone: “Darling, did you miss me at night?”

No matter how gorgeous and exquisite the clothes were, they still couldn’t conceal the innate nature of a rogue.

Su Mu ignored his nonsense and asked: “You know the whereabouts of Huang Xuan.”

Ye Qingfeng pulled at the clothes on him with discomfort, revealing a muscled, tan chest. With fiery eyes he stared at Su Mu’s red lips and said: “Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”

Su Mu snorted and turned away.

What kind of nonsense was this? This Ye fellow was indeed unreliable.

Ye Qingfeng cursed secretly, hurriedly pulling up the sleeve that was dragging to the ground up his arm. In the next moment, he had moved to Su Mu, wanting to place his salted pig’s hand on the other.

But then recalling that he couldn’t beat Su Mu, he could only withdraw his hand sheepishly: “It’s dark already. Let’s go inside and I’ll tell you.”

Su Mu glanced coldly at Ye Qingfeng, this fellow that practically had his desire to strip him off right that moment written on his face, and walked into the house.

But as soon as he entered the door, Su Mu’s ankle was suddenly entangled by iron chains emerging from the side. Of course, the two chains couldn’t hold Su Mu, but at the same time that Su Mu broke the chain with his palm——

Ye Qingfeng suddenly shot out a hand and pressed on Su Mu’s pressure point. He then lifted the motionless Su Mu up into his arms and walked towards the big bed covered with red silk sheets.

Su Mu lay in Ye Qingfeng’s arms, looking at Ye Qingfeng’s handsome face he said coldly: “Let go of me.”

Ye Qingfeng put Su Mu down on the bright red bed and said, “I won’t.” At the same time, he squeezed hard at Su Mu’s tight buttocks.

Su Mu’s entire face became distorted from the pain that shot up from his buttocks, and he yelled, “Ye Qingfeng, you are looking for death!”

Ye Qingfeng violently tore open Su Mu’s clothes, and said, “I plan to die making love to you tonight.”

Feeling that he was stripped completely naked, Su Mu’s face turned blue in anger: “F**k, Ye Qingfeng, f**k your ancestors.”

Ye Qingfeng quickly stripped himself as well, and said in a manner lacking of any morals: “You can f**k my ancestors, and I’ll f**k you.”

That beautiful body was enough to make anyone get a nosebleed. He stared at Su Mu’s slender and flawless body, wishing to swallow it whole immediately. Seeing him pull out a small jar from the bedside, Su Mu’s face turned black.

He only used this stuff last night.

Ye Qingfeng spread Su Mu’s legs rudely, dug out a large wad of snow-white cream from the jar and applied it to Su Mu’s behind.

The cold feeling caused Su Mu to tremble a bit, and then he felt a thick, hot object squeezing in.

This body had done this with Ye Qingfeng before, so Su Mu didn’t feel as opposed to it as he had thought. His breathing became a little heavy, and he began to feel arousal. Still, the squeeze was a little rough and he would definitely be feeling sore there. And he still had a long travel on the road waiting for him tomorrow!

“Ye Qingfeng! Lighter dammit, it hurts to death!”

Ye Qingfeng turned a deaf ear and continued to squeeze inside, breathing heavily, and said, “You had another inserted here yesterday, but I almost died from getting no relief these past few months. Let me feel good first.”

The large head finally squeezed in, and instantly two gasps echoed in the room. Ye Qingfeng’s was from pleasure, while Su Mu’s was from pain.

Su Mu was lying on the bed and couldn’t even move his fingers. He could only feel that thing still squeezing in. He gritted his teeth angrily: “Dammit, Ye Qingfeng, I’m going to cripple your thing.”

Ye Qingfeng pressed Su Mu’s legs wider with both hands: “If you cripple me, where can you find such a thick and long fellow to serve you, huh?”

Saying so, he pushed it in hard. Watching himself going in and out Su Mu’s body, and seeing Su Mu’s blushing face showing both pain and pleasure, his desire became even more aroused, suddenly swelling thicker and harder.

Then after a few vigorous and excited thrusts, he shot everything deep inside.

Damn, he even dared to shoot inside. Su Mu wanted nothing more than to cut off his thing and stir fry it.

Su Mu’s face was dark and he opened his mouth to ridicule: “Impotence is a disease, hurry up and get treatment.”

After saying this, Su Mu immediately regretted it after a quarter of an hour later.

The hard thing was inserted again, and there was a slight pain coming from the two spots on his chest, but more of it was pleasure, and he couldn’t help but let out moans.

Ye Qingfeng pushed in harder, sucking Su Mu’s sensitive neck while saying: “Darling, I will let you know that the word impotence has nothing to do with me!”

In the first half of the night, Su Mu could still curse out this beast. In the second half of the night, Ye Qingfeng unlocked his pressure point, but he could barely even lift his eyelids.

The bright red silk sheets were crumpled and twisted, and white liquid stained everywhere. It was a scene that could cause people to blush and their heartbeats to rise at just a glance.

Afterwards.

As the army of the Wu Kingdom passed by, naturally none of the small kingdoms dared to block them, and the road was extremely smooth and obstacle free.

However, Su Mu’s journey was not so smooth, and Ye Qingfeng would appear in Su Mu’s carriage like a ghost when it was late at night.

In the first few days, Su Mu still had the energy to fight with him. After a few days, Su Mu didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and directly have the army surround his carriage. Now not even a mosquito could fly in, let alone Ye Qingfeng.

When Liu Xi, with a food box, lifted the curtain, he saw a tired looking Crown Prince reading the latest battle report.

Seeing the faint shadow under the Crown Prince’s eyes, he squinted his own slightly, and then came to the Crown Prince as if nothing had happened. He set the tableware and chopsticks elegantly, and said to Su Mu: “Your Highness, please eat something before going back to reading.”

After Su Mu finished eating, the maid cleaned it up in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xi’s jade-like fingers massaged Su Mu’s shoulders with moderate force. He narrowed his phoenix eyes and spoke seductively into Su Mu’s ear with a low voice: “Your Highness, you haven’t had a good rest for a few days. Let chen accompany you tonight.”

Su Mu’s face was originally very beautiful, and when lying quietly on the gorgeous silk blankets he appeared even more like a perfect jade sculpture.

Listening to Su Mu’s shallow breathing and watching Su Mu furrowing his brows slightly as a moan occasionally flowed out of his lips, a dark glow suddenly flashed in Liu Xi’s eyes. The hand pressed against Su Mu’s waist lost control and squeezed Su Mu.

Su Mu gasped. He opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Xi. Liu Xi was also startled. Due to the Crown Prince’s past violence, he hurriedly knelt down and said, “Your Highness, please forgive me!”

Su Mu raised his hand and said: “Forget it, go down and call Shi Yan.”

After speaking, Su Mu leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes again to order his thoughts. They would arrive in Qing kingdom in half a month. Dealing with the rebels was no problem, and other small kingdoms were not a concern. But against the Shi kingdom, even the Wu kingdom’s army only had a small chance of winning. This made Su Mu very troubled.

Liu Xi lowered his head and glanced at the Crown Prince secretly, thinking in his heart that the Crown Prince should not be angry with him. Otherwise, would he still be kneeling here intact?

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Xi replied in a low voice and withdrew from the carriage.

The footsteps were as light as the sound of mosquitoes and ants, and ordinary people could not have detected it. But they couldn’t escape Su Mu’s ears. He opened his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Martial arts was really a good thing.

“Shi Yan pays respects to Your Highness.”

Su Mu straightened his clothes, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted. He looked at Shi Yan who was kneeling on the ground and said: “Rise, have you received any news from the imperial city.”

Shi Yan got up and handed over the letter he had brought with him, saying: “Your Highness, a letter from Lord Lin.”

Su Mu took the letter handed over and unfolded the yellowish letter paper. After reading a few lines, his eyes suddenly became cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Sure enough, some people have been idle for too long. ‘The tyrant brings calamity, administer the will of the heavens, and choose a sage master……’ Hmmph! A tyrant, huh?”

“Shi Yan, write back to Lin Siyuan, all those who have solid evidence against them shall be executed, and those that are suspicious or their charges have yet to be cleared shall be dispatched to Yishan for mining. In addition, have a few people pretend to be rebel spies and create a few lifelike murders in the imperial city and then guide public opinion. Oh, and find me an old man with a kind and dignified face, who is knowledgeable and intelligent, and have him come see me.”

Kind, dignified, knowledgeable, and intelligent……old man……

The soldiers in the surrounding area lowered their heads silently, concealing various indescribable expressions on their faces.

Su Mu’s mouth twitched, and he pulled down the curtain and returned to the carriage.

Shi Yan raised his head, and his respectful eyes when facing Su Mu suddenly became sharp after Su Mu disappeared behind the curtain. He looked around and said coldly: “Do what you should do. Thinking too much will cut your life short.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The surrounding soldiers in iron armor felt their hearts tremble and they hurriedly emptied the disrespectful thoughts in their heads, standing guard with full concentration.

Shi Yan glanced at them coldly before he walked away.

It’s just that a kind and dignified old man, where on earth could he find one?

Su Mu had been frowning since he returned from the palace.

One hand rested on the table, while the other hand was constantly tapping on the table, completely destroying any princely image to be had.

As soon as Liu Xi and Yun Feiyu walked in they saw a frowning and sighing Crown Prince. The Crown Prince looked completely different from his usual cold and domineering self. At this moment, he did not look like a Crown Prince of a kingdom but more like a wealthy Gongzi who was still innocent to the ways of the world.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The two walked in together and greeted: “Paying respects to Your Highness.”

Su Mu sat up straight and said, “Rise.”

Liu Xi looked at Su Mu tentatively and asked, “Your Highness, Wu kingdom did not agree to lend troops?”

“No, Wu kingdom has promised to lend 150,000 troops.” Su Mu said.

One hundred and fifty thousand. Standing on the side, Yun Feiyu’s eyes flickered as he looked at Su Mu. He did not expect that the Crown Prince could actually borrow soldiers from Wu kingdom. It had to be said that this was a miracle.

“Since we have succeeded, why is Your Highness still worried?” Liu Xi asked with puzzlement. When those charming phoenix eyes looked at Su Mu, they did not look like they were trying to express confusion but more like trying to seduce the other.

Su Mu felt his heartbeat beginning to quicken so he quickly looked away and said, “Wu kingdom has agreed to lend troops, but the Emperor of Wu wants to marry his princess to me.”

“What?” Liu Xi widened his bright and charming eyes, and asked with some disbelief: “Why? Why would the Emperor of Wu marry his princess to Your Highness?”

After hearing Su Mu’s words, Yun Feiyu felt himself going stiff. He also looked at Su Mu, not understanding why the Emperor of Wu wanted to marry his princess to the Crown Prince.

Generally speaking, princesses would only be sent off for a political marraige when her kingdom was defeated and needed to seek peace or the national strength of her kingdom was not as powerful as other kingdoms. After all, what parent would be willing for their daughter to marry far away, the distance making it difficult to recieve news on her health or situation.

Facing the two pairs of puzzled eyes, Su Mu could only shake his head and said: “I also don’t know why?” Then he said to the two of them: “You two help me figure out a way, how can I refuse the “goodwill” of the Emperor of Wu.”

Su Mu gritted his teeth. He really wanted to violently beat up the old meddlesome man that was Emperor of Wu.

Yun Feiyu smiled slightly and said: “Why refuse? Marriage with Wu kingdom is something that many other kingdoms cannot even hope for.”

Su Mu glanced at him and said, “When did you see me touch a woman?”

Indeed, in the past few years, the men in the Crown Prince’s harem have come and gone, but as for women, not even a single hair was seen.

Yun Feiyu said: “But you will be the Emperor in the future, how can there be no Empress? If it is Wu kingdom……”

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Feiyu in the manner of a disreputable rake: “Who said that there is no Empress, I think you are quite good for the role.” Then he turned his head and looked at the shocked Liu Xi and said: “What about you, would you like to be my Empress?”

Liu Xi’s face blushed, and he glared at Su Mu, appearing even more charming and alluring in his embarrassment, and said, “Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Su Mu was just making a joke. To establish a male Empress, wasn’t this the same as finding trouble for himself? When the time came, he could just leave the position empty.

Su Mu, who felt like electricity had ran through his body at Liu Xi’s glare, hurriedly changed the subject: “If I marry the princess, wouldn’t it hurt her? If she returns to the Wu kingdom to complain, what will happen? No benefits to be had yet the trouble keeps coming.”

Don’t know why but when they heard that the Crown Prince did not intend to marry the princess of the Wu kingdom, the two of them secretly let out relieved sighs.

Liu Xi secretly thought that if the princess really married the Crown Prince, he would definitely not give that princess even one chance to see the Crown Prince.

“Your Highness, why not let the princess marry Yun Gongzi.” Liu Xi suggested sincerely: “Look, Yun Gongzi is both talented and handsome. And if you give Yun Gongzi a higher official position wouldn’t he be a perfect match for the princess?”

Su Mu looked at Yun Feiyu, and thought that while the first half was correct, but the second half……he really wanted to knock some sense into Liu Xi. How could the Emperor of Wu marry his princess to a ‘male pet’.

Liu Xi saw Su Mu’s concerns so he smiled: “Your Highness, you don’t know how much Yun Gongzi was loved by women in the past. In the past, Yun Gongzi’s carriage used to be filled with flowers thrown by women every time he went out to the streets……”

Su Mu looked at Yun Feiyu’s extraordinarily handsome face, and completely believed Liu Xi’s words.

When Liu Xi saw that Su Mu seem convinced, he immediately added: “Your Highness, if the princess sees Yun Gongzi, she will definitely fall in love with him.”

Su Mu nodded, there was a 90% probability.

Liu Xi ignored Yun Feiyu’s gradually cooling smile and said: “Your Highness, why not let them meet.”

“But, can this work?” Su Mu was slightly conflicted. The other was, after all, considered to belong to him, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

Liu Xi had been observing Su Mu the whole time, so naturally he saw the hesitation on his face. Pretending not to see it, he continued to persuade: “How can you know if you don’t try. It would be best if the princess fslls in love with him, but if it doesn’t work, we can always think of another solution. In any case, there will be no loss on our side.”

Su Mu nodded and looking at Yun Feiyu, he asked: “What do you think?”

Although he asked, Su Mu didn’t really want to hear a positive answer. When all was said and done, Yun Feiyu was someone who had intimate contact with him. Him just giving the other to another woman, just what was that considered as?

Unexpectedly, Yun Feiyu looked at Su Mu with a smile and said: “I will follow Your Highness’s orders.”

Su Mu’s face became stiff, then his expression darkened and he said: “Fine, so be it, I will find a way for you to meet the princess.”

After returning to the room, Su Mu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn’t fall asleep. The thought that kept bothering him was why should he give up his man to others.

Su Mu was not a pretentious person. He knew that he had a good impression of Yun Feiyu. Although it cannot be considered to be love or affection, but having to reluctantly send his belonging away caused him to feel quite unhappy. Even if he wasn’t in love with the other, he still felt sullen.

As he couldn’t sleep, Su Mu simply got up from the bed and put on a piece of clothing before going out and knocking on Yun Feiyu’s door.

The wooden door was gently opened, and the cold moonlight shone down on Yun Feiyu’s face. He smiled gently, like the queen of the night flower that only bloomed at night.

“Your Highness, why are you here?” Because he got up in a hurry, he just wore an outer robe like Su Mu, revealing a flawless white chest.

Su Mu strode into his room, looked at him and asked seriously: “Do you really want to marry the princess?”

Yun Feiyu closed the door and turned to look at Su Mu. He smiled: “As a subject, I naturally have to help Your Highness with difficulties, but how can the princess compare to His Highness?”

When Su Mu heard that a small, smug smile appeared on his face unconsciously. And as he walked towards the door he said: “Okay, I’m going back, and you should also rest early.”

Suddenly, a warm feeling came from his hand, and Yun Feiyu’s elegant voice sounded behind him: “Since Your Highness is here, why not stay.”

A tinge of red appeared on Su Mu’s face, and while his integrity told him to go quickly, his feet however, seemed to have taken root.

The soft touch on his cheeks gradually moved to his lips, and Su Mu felt his breathing becoming rapid and his temperature rising. The handsome jade-like face was so close in proximity, but no blemish could be detected.

A warm, wet feeling pressed against his lips, and Su Mu opened his mouth slightly while closing his eyes at the same time.

Feeling his waist being hugged, Su Mu trembled slightly. The two heated bodies pressed closer to each other, and both could clearly feel each other’s desires.

Yun Feiyu pulled Su Mu to the bed and gently let down the veilings. After taking off Su Mu’s outer robe he slowly pressed down onto him.

The already dim candlelight was blocked further by a layer of veil. Su Mu could only see the other’s outline and as a result, the senses sharpened and his body became more sensitive. Feather-like kisses fell on his neck and shoulders, and Su Mu couldn’t help but shiver. Breathing harshly, he said, “Don’t be like this.”

“Ngh……let go!”

Yun Feiyu let him go obediently, and looked down at Su Mu’s misty eyes. He couldn’t help but feel a throbbing in his heart, and he slowly leaned down again to kiss Su Mu’s moist, red lips.

The slender fingers dexterously slipped into Su Mu’s clothes where they busily stroked the smooth skin, before they then grasped the hard desire between Su Mu’s legs.

Su Mu gasped, grasping firmly onto Yun Feiyu’s shoulders, brows furrowed, “Hurry up.”

It’s just that this time Yun Feiyu didn’t listen to him. He kissed the corner of Su Mu’s mouth and coaxed, “Your Highness, don’t be anxious.”

The hand moved unhurriedly while the other hand took off the only piece of clothing left on Su Mu.

The alluring body gently twisted under him, and charming gasps sounded in his ears. The always gentle and smiling face became expressionless, but flames burned deep in his eyes.

Yun Feiyu released his grip to take off and throw his own clothes aside, and the two faced each other completely naked.

Su Mu, who had been enjoying the other’s pleasuring, frowned with dissatisfaction at the momentary loss and looked down his body.

His attention was soon caught, however, when he got an accidental glimpse of the thick hardness between Yun Feiyu’s legs.

He was clearly a weak scholar, so why was he so big? Su Mu squeezed the head of the arrogant looking thing with displeasure.

Yun Feiyu gasped and grabbed onto Su Mu’s leaving hand, pressing it back onto himself.

Su Mu blushed as he held it compliantly. It felt completely different from when he held himself. It felt harder and hotter.

Yun Feiyu endured the pleasure coming from below, and fiery palms grasped at Su Mu’s slender and firm waist. Gradually, they slid down, only stopping when they reached that place of ecstasy. Gently, he rubbed at the opening.

Su Mu was pressed up close to Yun Feiyu’s heated body, feeling the heat from the object in his hand. All of this caused his mouth to feel a little dry. Especially when he felt himself being stretched open, Su Mu couldn’t help but call out softly.

Yun Feiyu inserted his fingers deeper, and Su Mu’s whole body softened, but still his arms clung tightly to the person on top of him as he breathed heavily.

Yun Feiyu looked at the extremely compliant person in his arms with dark eyes, and could no longer endure it anymore. He took out his fingers and pressed down on Su Mu, eagerly opening Su Mu’s legs while holding his own hard desire, rubbing it against the entrance briefly before slowly but firmly pressing in. Su Mu bit his lip, and grasped Yun Feiyu’s strong arms with both hands. Because of the slow entry, the feeling of being stretched was more obvious.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Lips were kissed bright red and moisture gathered at the corners of his eyes. He looked like a weak and delicate young man who one could do whatever one pleased with.

The people of Qing could never even dream of thinking that their frightening Crown Prince would lie obediently under a man and let himself be fiercely and passionately made love to.

After the man in black escaped, Su Mu soon returned to Lingyun Pavilion. But he still felt as uncomfortable as if a poisonous snake had fixed its sights on him, so he secretly decided to send someone to look into it.

Early the next morning, Su Mu and Sun Hongyu came to the Wu kingdom’s palace to meet the Emperor of Wu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The Prince of Rong, the most trusted brother of the Emperor of Wu, was already waiting.

After Su Mu amd the Prince of Rong both made greetings to each other, the Emperor of Wu came out of the room.

“You have been disturbed last night. I have ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly and I will definitely give you an explanation.” The Emperor of Wu spoke as he sat in a chair, his bearing majestic and solemn. Although he was only in his early fifties, most of his hair had already greyed.

Su Mu sneered in his heart. If he didn’t just sit back and watch, the assassin wouldn’t have gotten into the Lingyun Pavilion that easily. After all, it was a place that specialized in receiving foreign guests so the security should be more stricter than it was last night. What else could be the intention of the Emperor of Wu but to test him out.

Though he was as clear as a mirror on this matter, he still had to put on an expression of gratitude: “The Emperor of Wu is wise, many thanks to the Emperor of Wu.”

The Emperor of Wu was an intelligent person. Of course he knew that Su Mu was aware of everything, but there were certain times when even if everyone understood what was going on, they must still pretend not to know. He nodded and said: “Zhen have seen your drawings. They indeed could bring a major change, but it is still not enough for our kingdom to send 200,000 troops. The most is 100,000. This is the number our kingdom can deploy at present.”

A drawing of a dragon bone water lift was worth only 50,000 troops! Su Mu really wanted to smear his face with the ink on the table.

The land in the Wu kingdom was relatively high, and the role of the dragon bone water lift would be even greater. It was worth more than 50,000 people. Besides, the food, horse feed, army salaries and all other expenses were to be paid by Su Mu himself.

But, in this situation where he was the one requesting help, Su Mu could only continje to bargain with this greedy old man: “Your Majesty, the dragon bone water lift is only one condition. When the army arrives in Qing kingdom, I will hand over the technique of preventing smallpox to Wu kingdom. And when the army wins and return back to Wu kingdom, I will also hand over the drawing of the animal drawn seed plow to Your Majesty. How can the benefits of these three technologies that are enough to shock the world be comparable to the benefits of a 200,000 army?”

The Emperor of Wu stared at Su Mu with shrewd eyes: “The dragon bone water lift is indeed useful, but as for the way to prevent smallpox and the animal drawn seed plow, how do Zhen know if what you said is true?”

This old thing, Su Mu secretly grinded his teeth.

Although he was nearly angered to death, Su Mu still had to bargain with the Emperor of Wu with a smile: “If your kingdom is willing to borrow troops, I can give your kingdom the technology to prevent smallpox first, but the drawing of the animal drawn seed plow must wait until the army returns back to the Wu kingdom before it can be handed over to Your Majesty.

“One hundred thousand, if you are willing to hand over the animal drawn seed plow drawing together then two hundred thousand. Or you can use other technologies instead.” The Emperor of Wu said decisively.

Su Mu stood up straight and looked directly at the Emperor of Wu, with a polite smile at the corner of his mouth he said: “His Majesty the Emperor of Wu would not make pay everything upfront when doing business as well. If the Emperor of Wu is not interested, I believe the Wei kingdom or Shi kingdom will definitely be interested.”

The Emperor of Wu looked at Su Mu calmly and said: “The 200,000 army is not a small number. It consumes a lot of money every day. I have heard that the output of Qing kingdom has been reduced severely this year. What does Crown Prince Su plan to use to feed the 200,000 army?”

Su Mu straightened up further and said, “Since I came to borrow troops, I am naturally prepared.”

Su Mu had naturally thought of this problem a long time ago, so the money that Qingye Villa earned from selling soap and toilet paper had been used to buy grain and horse feed. A lot of grain and horse feed have been stocked up in half a year, and added to the Qing kingdom’s original reserves, it was not impossible to feed 200,000 troops. Not to mention, the army of 200,000 would not stay in Qing kingdom for too long of a time.

Seeing that there was no room for further bargaining, the Emperor of Wu said: “In this case, the drawing of the animal drawn seed plow can be handed over after the army returns.”

But before Su Mu could be too happy he heard the Emperor of Wu say, “However, Zhen only agree to add another 50,000, a total of 150,000.”

Seeing Su Mu’s expression becoming displeased, the Emperor of Wu said again: “You can rest assured that these are all elite soldiers. The 150,000 troops alone are enough to suppress all the rebels in Qing kingdom.”

The Emperor of Wu said in a calm voice, without any exaggeration. This was a kind of domineering, a kind of self-confidence, and a manifestation of the strength of a powerful kingdom.

In the end, Su Mu only borrowed 150,000 troops. Although it did not reach Su Mu’s goal, it was not far from what he expected.

And something to celebrate about was that the Emperor of Wu finally showed an act of compassion and also included a month of food and horse feed along with the troops.

It’s just that Su Mu didn’t know that those were old grains that were about to grow moldy, and the Emperor of Wu was just trying to make the best use of it in exchange for favors.

Just as Su Mu wanted to leave, the Emperor of Wu asked: “Does the Crown Prince have a Crown Princess?”

As soon as he heard this, Su Mu knew it was not good. Don’t let it be a political marriage!

It’s just that even if he guessed it, Su Mu still had to answer honestly: “I haven’t married a Crown Princess, but……”

“That’s good.” Before Su Mu’s words were finished, he was interrupted by the Emperor of Wu: “I have a kind and virtuous daughter, who matches the age of the Crown Prince.”

Su Mu got a cold sweat: “Your Majesty, the princess is noble and I dare not……”

Sun Hongyu, who had been on the sidelines, heard the Emperor of Wu’s proposal and his eyes brightened. Su Mu was not bad in appearance or talent. The only flaw was his identity. Originally, a Crown Prince of a small kingdom would never make it on the list of perspective prince consort of the Wu Kingdom.

However, Princess Hongyun was disfigured by smallpox, and none from a good family background were willing to marry her. As for ordinary aristocrats, she herself looked down on as well. Her marriage issue had dragged on until now and at twenty-three she was still not married.

Sun Hongyu was very anxious for his sister, and piped up on the side: “How can you say such humble words? Neither of you are married so where is the problem?”

Su Mu silently turned his head and looked at Sun Hongyu, motioning with his eyes: Don’t you know that I like men? Let your sister marry me would be practically the same as being a widow!

However, Sun Hongyu seemed to have not seen it, and continued to add fuel to the fire: “Fu Huang, I think sister Hongyun and Crown Prince Su are a perfect match.”

The Emperor of Wu also laughed twice and agreed.

Su Mu’s voice of opposition was ruthlessly ignored, and he could only stare on the side. If it weren’t for him being in need of their help, he would definitely turn his head and leave.

However, Sun Hongyu and the Emperor of Wu also grasped onto this weakness, so that was why they dared to force their beloved princess on Su Mu. The Emperor of Wu had few sons and fewer daughters. Each of the prince consorts for his daughters were all carefully selected by him. Only Hongyun’s marriage remained a headache these many years.

Although he knew that Su Mu liked men, it was not necessarily all bad. There was no woman in Su Mu’s palace so far, so when Hongyun married over not only would she be the legal wife and the Crown Princess, there would also be no concubines to be an eyesore for Hongyun.

Besides, it was impossible for a man to be the Empress. Judging from the situation that remained the same for so many years, it was extremely unlikely that a woman would appear in the harem of Su Mochi.

When the time came, the child born to Hongyun would automatically be the Crown Prince. And as long as she had an heir how could those male pets still be of any threat to her?

Towards those male pets, the Emperor of Wu and Sun Hongyu hardly even spared them much thought. Who would dare to make trouble for their princess who had the kingdom of Wu as her backing?

At that time, Hongyun would be the only female owner of Qing kingdom.

Of course, there was also another considerable point. The future heir of the Qing kingdom would have the blood of the royal family of the Wu kingdom. On this point, many of the benefits were self-evident.

In the end, Su Mu failed to reject this sudden ‘peach blossom luck’, and could only return to Lingyun Pavilion very depressed. He could do nothing but continue to think of ways to avoid this political union.

Inside the imperial palace, a slender woman in a palace dress and a veil over her face frowned and asked the maid next to her when she heard the news, “What you say is true? What kind of person is the Crown Prince of Qing kingdom?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The little maid recalled the glance she had seen from afar and her face turned red and said: “Very, very beautiful.” Then she whispered in Hongyun’s ear: “More beautiful than the Crown Prince.”

Hongyun frowned further after hearing this. Because of her ugly appearance she had received much ridicule. The more handsome the man the more they avoided her as if she was a scourge.

In the imposing and majestic imperial palace of the kingdom of Wu, the old Emperor held the drawing of the dragon bone water lift drawn by Su Mu for a long while.

After a while, he raised his head and said, “You have confirmed it. He really is the Crown Prince of Qing kingdom?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Sun Hongyu replied respectfully: “Yes, Fu Huang.”

Although the Emperor of Wu was more than half a century old, he was full of energy, and his eyes were piercing and alert, intimidating to all who met them.

Next to him was the Emperor of Wu’s brother Prince of Rong.

The Prince of Rong: “I have ordered a model of this dragon bone water lift to be made. If this type of waterwheel can be installed across the kingdom, it will be very conducive to irrigation. It can indeed increase food production.”

“But this alone is not enough for our country to dispatch 200,000 troops.” Emperor of Wu sat on the dragon throne with his eyes gleaming, and looked up at Sun Hongyu: “If we can keep him here……”

This was meaning to detain him.

Sun Hongyu frowned and said: “Fu Huang, this is not appropriate. Su Mochi’s martial arts is too high, I am afraid no one can imprison him.”

Prince of Rong also nodded: “What the Crown Prince says is reasonable. Even if we can keep him here, he may not reveal all the technological skills he possess.”

Sun Hongyu nodded: “Huang Shu is right, and the Qing kingdom is only a small kingdom. Our real opponents are Shi kingdom and Wei kingdom. At present, the power of the three kingdoms is equal, but if we get these technologies, Wu will be able to dominate the other two kingdoms.” (TN: Huang Shu=literally imperial uncle, similar to Fu Huang which is literally tl to imperial father)

The Emperor of Wu nodded and said: “A dragon bone water lift is not enough for me to dispatch a 200,000 army. Have him provide the drawing of the animal drawn seed plow and give it to me first.”

Sun Hongyu looked at the Prince of Rong and saw that he also nodded, so he cupped his hands and said, “Yes, Fu Huang.”

Sun Hongyu was about to turn around, but was stopped by the Emperor of Wu.

“Let him come and see me, I want to see what kind of genius this Qing kingdom Crown Prince is.” The Emperor of Wu said.

Upstairs in Overlooking River Tower, Su Mu stood in front of the window and watched the rolling river without saying a word.

Just this morning, Su Mu received a secret letter from Han Yang that the three-party rebels were really serious this time, having mobilized all of their troops. After all, the Crown Prince finally left the imperial city. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Su Mu sighed. At this speed, even if he returned with the 200,000 army of Wu kingdom, the Qing kingdom might have changed hands by then.

Turning around and walking to the desk, Su Mu picked up his brush and wrote: “Avoid deadly battles and conserve strength.”

Of course, only a few people who regularly had contact with him could understand Su Mu’s terrible handwriting.

Su Mu had just handed the letter to Shi Yan when he heard a knock on the door.

“Your Highness, Sun Gongzi is waiting for you on the third floor.” Liu Xi’s voice sounded outside the door.

“I’ll be there soon.” Su Mu said.

Su Mu changed into light-colored robes, which made him look both handsome and harmless.

Of course, everyone who was familiar with Su Mu knew that this was only a superficial appearance, but even so, people still couldn’t help but be captivated by him.

Su Mu and Sun Hongyu stayed for a while before leaving.

In the evening, Su Mu brought Yun Feiyu, Liu Xi, Qin Ye and others into the Lingyun Pavilion, the manor Wu kingdom prepared for receiving foreign guests and envoys.

On a moonlit night, in a small courtyard of Lingyun Pavilion, Su Mu stood bathed in the moonlight, causing Yun Feiyu to feel a little dazed. The person in front of him was like an immortal, one who would ride away on the wind at any time.

Yun Feiyu’s eyes flickered, looking at Su Mu he asked: “Your Highness, has Wu kingdom agreed to borrow troops?”

Looking at the full moon, Su Mu replied: “There is no clear answer yet, but the result is definite.”

“Then I congratulate Your Highness in advance.” Yun Feiyu said with a smile.

Su Mu turned his head and looked at him, eyes bright like stars appeared reflected in Yun Feiyu’s own eyes, shaking his state of mind.

“If the armed forces of the Wu kingdom are dispatched, the rebels on all sides would be no match.” Su Mu looked at him and said.

Walking lightly to Su Mu’s side, Yun Feiyu smiled softly and ingenously, his whole person exuding a pleasant fragrance. He said: “Your Highness is wise.”

Su Mu glanced at him and said, “May the people of Qing kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, unaffected by the flames of war. I have no desire to bring war.”

“Your Highness wants to enlist the rebel soldiers by offering amnesty.” Yun Feiyu smiled, his dark eyes revealing no visible emotions.

Su Mu nodded and said: “This is the best solution, without bloodshed and sacrifice. The land of the Qing kingdom should not be stained red with blood.”

“But I am afraid that no one will give up the power that have been obtained?” Yun Feiyu said.

Su Mu said sharply and coldly: “Then it depends on whether he wants power or his life.”

Yun Feiyu watched the Crown Prince and did not answer, standing behind Su Mu and watching the moon up in the sky with him.

Suddenly, a silver-white light flashed in the sky, and a sharp arrow shot straight at them. The arrow appeared slightly black, just from a glance there would be no question it was very poisonous.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen arrows appeared in the same direction, all rushing towards Su Mu. Yun Feiyu, who was only a few steps away from Su Mu, was also included in the attack range.

Su Mu stretched out his arm and quickly hugged Yun Feiyu to his side before evading the arrows. The violent sound of metal against stone caused one to be frightened. A dozen arrows continuously penetrated into the bluestone floor, making it no question that the assassins in the dark were all masters, otherwise how could an iron arrow penetrate into the slate.

Su Mu sneered, it seemed that someone did not want to see the deal between him and Sun Hongyu succeeding.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of flaming arrows flew from all directions like fire dragons. Su Mu hugged Yun Feiyu to his side and evaded them all, his figure flickering in and out of sight like a spirit or a ghost, leaving afterimages behind.

Soon, the entire courtyard was on fire, but Su Mu did not dare to take Yun Feiyu away up in the air as they would become an easy target for the archers in the dark. But the surroundings were built from wood and the house was already swallowed up in a sea of ​​flames.

Liu Xi and Lan Lan also rushed out of their bedrooms and came to Su Mu. Qin Ye’s clothes were burnt but he was fine. Shi Yan and the other guards were all unharmed.

Liu Xi protected his mother in front of him, covering his mouth and nose he asked Su Mu: “What should we do, Your Highness?”

Qin Ye covered his mouth and nose and looked at Su Mu without speaking.

Su Mu watched the more and more flaming arrows flying in the sky, and said to everyone: “I will blast the house down, Shi Yan will protect Liu Xi, Qin Ye and madam Lan to leave first.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” No matter what decision Su Mu made, he would obey unconditionally.

“Then what about you? Your Highness.” The thick smoke seized the opportunity to penetrate Liu Xi’s nose when he spoke, causing him to cough violently.

Su Mu covered his nose with his sleeves and said solemnly: “Don’t talk nonsense, naturally Ben Gong has a way. You all go first.”

While speaking, Su Mu had already gathered all the internal force into his palms.

In the next moment, only a loud noise was heard, and the entire house in the area with there was less fire collapsed, and the people who had been prepared rushed out immediately.

The vacancy was only for a short while. After the figures of Liu Xi and the others disappeared, the flaming arrows immediately filled the gap. Su Mu, who was half a step behind, had lost his chance and had to hide in the blind corner of the courtyard with Yun Feiyu.

Cough, cough, cough. Yun Feiyu frowned and coughed violently.

“Your Highness, you don’t need to……”

Su Mu kept a hold of him as he continuously evaded the arrows. When he heard the words he immediately growled: “Shut up!”

Even though Su Mu had the internal strength to protect his body, but it was not like he didn’t need to breathe. The pungent smoke also made him uncomfortable, and his mood became irritable.

It was of course not difficult for Su Mu to escape from the sea of ​​fire, but Yun Feiyu did not have any martial arts skills. If Su Mu took him through the sea of ​​fire with him, Yun Feiyu would definitely turn into a piece of coal.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The scenery in front of them became distorted. The two felt that breathing became difficult. Noisy sounds could be heard coming from outside. Some people were splashing water to fight the fire, but it was obviously of no avail to the two still inside the small courtyard.

After a quarter of an hour, the army of the Wu kingdom finally arrived. The assassins quickly disappeared without a trace, and the fire was put under control. Su Mu took Yun Feiyu and jumped out of the fire.

As soon as Su Mu’s feet landed on the ground, he heard a faint sound of something cutting through the air, and a jet-black arrow shot directly at Su Mu’s forehead. It successfully aroused Su Mu’s anger.

He pushed Yun Feiyu away, shattered the black arrow and disappeared in the blink of an eye. And with his deep well of internal force, Su Mu quickly caught up with the assassins.

A succession of screams soon filled the air. Su Mu threw away the person who he had crippled but purposefully still left alive, and chased after another man in black.

The man in black had an agile and strong physique and his strange footwork were as tricky and fast as spirits and ghosts. He was obviously different from the previous ones, his skill being much higher. He was holding a large bow in his hand, and the previous black arrow was shot from this bow.

Soon the two arrived at the outskirts, the two figures flickering in and out of sight among the tall trees in the woods. The man in black had extremely high qinggong, second only to Ye Qingfeng, and Su Mu actually had to use all of his internal force to barely keep up. Of course, this was mainly because Su Mu’s weakness was qinggong.

Suddenly, the black-clothed man who was running swiftly turned around and let loose an arrow. The sharp black arrow was perfectly hidden in the night, silently flying straight at Su Mu.

A cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes and he hurriedly turned sideways. The black arrow grazed Su Mu’s neck. His fair skin even felt the cold killing intent. With only this moment’s delay, the man in black had disappeared completely in the dense forest.

Su Mu glanced at the direction where the man in black had disappeared before tearing a piece of cloth from his clothes. Wrapping a hand in the cloth, he then pulled the black arrow from a tree as wide around the trunk as a basin.

After Su Mu disappeared from the woods, a tall figure appeared where Su Mu had just been standing before. The pair of sharp eyes that gleamed in the dark could make anyone afraid to look directly.

A large and strong palm pulled down the black cloth covering his face, and immediately a strong and chiseled face appeared in the dark dense forest, sharply defined lips curved in a chilling smile.

Suddenly, he turned abruptly and a fierce wind blew by his face. His long black hair whipped into the air like black snakes dancing fiercely from the wind.

Su Mu’s indifferent face appeared reflected in his eyes, the other’s fair and slender palms making contact against his chest.

With a ‘bang’, he slammed into the tree before falling to the ground heavily.

“Who are you?” Su Mu asked, looking down his nose at him.

The blood stained his lips and neck and his clothes were now covered with dust, his whole person cutting a rather sorry figure. But the eyes looking at Su Mu were like two blazing fires. Those two eyes stared at Su Mu in such a way that was reminiscent of a hungry wolf staring at a fat slice of meat.

Such a blatant gaze caused Su Mu to feel extremely uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and attacked. Previously, he had succeeded because it was a sneak attack. This time it was not so easy to succeed.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The man in black quickly avoided the hit and stood in the shadows, blending into the darkness perfectly. A low, magnetic, but inexplicably chilling voice sounded from the darkness.

“The Crown Prince of Qing? Interesting!”

Sun Ziyun and the young woman in green were sitting behind the beaded curtain. Seeing Su Mu’s manners and eloquence, as well as the perpetual gentle smile on his face, no matter how they looked at him, he appeared to be an elegant and handsome Gongzi. The more one looked at Su Mu, the more one liked him, and the more one’s heartbeat sped up.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Sun Biyun pulled Sun Ziyun’s sleeve and saw that she was completed captivated with the person outside. She didn’t even react at all, giving others an image of a dazed and lovestruck girl. None of that mischievous nature she exhibited everyday could be seen anymore from her countenance. Instantly, Sun Biyun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Poking at Sun Ziyun’s head she smiled: “Finally someone can calm you crazy girl.”

Sun Ziyun slapped her hand away, her eyes still stuck to Su Mu.

Sun Biyun shook her head and was a little worried. This Su Gongzi did not seem to be an easily controlled person, and Ziyun’s wish might not be easy to achieve.

Seeing that Sun Hongyu talked with Su Mu for a long time without asking anything, Sun Haoran became a little anxious. After all, Sun Ziyin was his little sister. He asked Su Mu: “May I ask, is Su Gongzi married? Do you have a wife?”

Su Mu said: “I am already married.”

Sun Haoran breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his sister would marry someone of unknown origins.

Behind the curtain, Sun Ziyun’s originally anxious mood instantly fell into the pits, her bright and big eyes misted over with moisture. Sun Biyun patted her shoulder and gently comforted her.

With Su Mu’s martial arts skill, the conversation between the two women was naturally overheard by Su Mu so he also understood the reason why he was asked to board this boat.

Sun Hongyu saw that Su Mu was neither arrogant nor impatient, not at all in a rush to ask why he was invited over, nor did he ask him about his identity. This kind of demeanor was not something ordinary people could achieve, so he instantly formed intentions to further develop a friendly relationship.

“How long is Su Gongzi going to stay here? If I want to find Gongzi for a cup of tea next time, how can I find you?” Sun Hongyu asked.

Su Mu smiled and said: “About half a month, I will be staying in Overlooking River Tower, so if Sun Gongzi wants to find me I will be there.”

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes and he turned his head instantly.

A bright cold light flew straight towards Sun Hongyu’s temple like lightning. The two fingers on Su Mu’s right hand flashed by in a blur, and like steel they clamped the hidden weapon in between. With a rotate of the wrist, the weapon was sent flying back to where it came. Then he rushed behind the beaded curtain and grabbed the two women before breaking through the top of the boat, landing on the riverbanks in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Hongyu and Sun Haoran also landed beside Su Mu, though they looked a little disheveled and rushed.

Su Mu let go of the two women who did not know what happened and looked at the river.

The originally delicately crafted and elegantly furnished boat was now broken in two, and most of it had sunk down into the water.

A large luxurious ship with sharp iron installed on its prow appeared in front of Su Mu.

Sun Hongyu stared at the ship with a dark expression, and said to Sun Haoran, “Send the two of them back.”

Sun Haoran didn’t say a word, and with Sun Biyun they dragged Sun Ziyun, who refused to leave, away.

Sun Hongyu turned around and said to Su Mu: “Apologies, I have involved you in something troublesome, and thank you for just now.”

To be able to catch the hidden weapon in an instant, and then escape from the cabin with Ziyun and Biyun, and even arriving to the shore before him. What Su Mu revealed of his martial prowess really shocked Sun Hongyu.

But now he had no time to get to know more of Su Mu.

On the deck of the big ship, a young boy with a malicious aura and a resemblance to Sun Hongyu appeared. He may have similar facial features to Sun Hongyu but his demeanor was completely different.

With a wicked smile on his face and a paper fan in his hand despite the cold autumn weather, he said insincerely to Sun Hongyu: “I was wondering who was so daring to block this prince’s boat? It turned out to be royal brother.”

“Hongyi, what nonsense are you up to now?” Sun Hongyu scolded with a stern face.

Sun Hongyi took the fan and knocked it on the palm of his hand, walking back and forth on the deck, saying: “How can royal brother say that? It’s not like I did it on purpose. How can you blame me for a problem with your boat? If you really insist then I’ll send someone to fish out the boat and return it to you.”

Sun Hongyu snorted coldly and turned away with a cold face.

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and secretly thought: “What big luck, this guy is actually the Crown Prince of Wu.”

Su Mu also turned around, and was about to leave, but suddenly heard the sound of something whistling through the air, and dozens of silver hidden weapons flew towards them, enveloping Su Mu and Sun Hongyu in their trajectory.

Su Mu let out a cold snort, and with a casual wave of a sleeve, they all switched trajectory and shot back instantly.

Sun Hongyi’s eyes widened. Before he could react, all the hidden weapons were deeply inserted into the wooden board in front of him, and the nearest was only a few inches from his toes.

Sun Hongyi only reacted after the hidden weapons had all penetrated deeply into the wooden boards, taking a few steps back in shock. The eyes looking at Su Mu were both shocked and angered. Pointing at Su Mu he said: “Audacious, you dare to harm this prince. Arrest him!”

Sun Hongyu quickly stood in front of Su Mu and stared at Sun Hongyi: “Hongyi, don’t go too far.”

“This prince is just arresting the assassin who conspire to murder me. Why, royal brother wants to shield him? Then I have to ask what is royal brother’s intentions?” Sun Hongyi sneered.

Sun Hongyu looked at him coldly, and then turned around and said to Su Mu: “Let’s go.”

“Hmmph!” Sun Hongyi sneered and looked at the direction the two were leaving, and squeezed violently at the paper fan in his hand.

Upstairs in Overlooking River Tower, Sun Hongyu ordered a large table of dishes and said it was to make up for giving Su Mu a fright.

With a charming smile on his handsome face, Su Mu said, “Unexpectedly, Sun Gongzi is actually the Crown Prince of Wu. I have been rude.” It looked like there was no need to deal with the old and cunning Prince of Rong, but this Crown Prince did not seem to be a character easily dealt with either, Su Mu thought secretly.

Sun Hongyu drank from the wine cup in his hand, and phoenix eyes looked at Su Mu with a smile: “The identity of Su Gongzi may not be simple either.”

As the Crown Prince of a kingdom, Sun Hongyu’s ability to judge people was naturally not mediocre. He had guessed earlier whether Su Mu was a nobleman from a small kingdom, but the skills that Su Mu showed later, as well as the brilliance that flashed in his eyes after learning his identity, all stated that Su Mu’s identity was not only not simple, but his purpose for coming to Wu kingdom was not for leisure.

Su Mu picked up the wine cup and took a sip. After the “bloody” lesson last time, Su Mu didn’t dare to drink too much alcohol. He put down the wine cup and said, “Naturally, it is not as impressive as Sun Gongzi.”

After a pause Su Mu said, “In fact, this time I came to Wu kingdom in order to close on a big business deal.”

Since mention of this big business deal was raised in front of him, it was something to do with him in all likelihood. What kind of business asked for his cooperation? Sun Hongyu raised his eyebrows and became interested.

Su Mu smiled and said, “I want to sell a few things to His Highness.”

“What is it? Why sell it to me?” Sun Hongyu asked.

“Because these things can only show their greatest value in the hands of His Highness.” Su Mu saw that Sun Hongyu still had a smile on his face, and knew that he didn’t take his words to heart.

Su Mu looked at him and said, “Moreover, the payment I want can only be paid by His Highness.”

Sun Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly: “What do you want?”

“An army of two hundred thousand.” As soon as the words fell, Su Mu added: “Elites.”

Sun Hongyu was stunned for a while, and then laughed: “Are you telling a joke? An army of 200,000 elite troops. What do you think is worth 200,000 elites.”

Su Mu smiled calmly and said: “Something that would allow Wu kingdom to increase grain output by at least 30% and increase efficiency by five times.”

The calm smile gradually solidified on his mouth, and his smiling eyes suddenly became sharp. Staring at Su Mu, Sun Hongyu appeared calm on the surface, but he could feel his heart begin to beat quickly.

He was not the only prince in the kingdom of Wu, and his position as the Crown Prince was not so stable. Besides, who didn’t want to be admired by thousands of people and become a ruler venerated in the annals of history.

Sun Hongyu slowly clenched his fists, held back the excitement in his heart, and said calmly to Su Mu: “Let’s not mention whether what you say is true, do you think this can be worth Wu kingdom’s 200,000 army?”

Su Mu smiled and said to Sun Hongyu: “Your Highness, this is a great merit for generations to come. It is not something that would become useless in three or five years.”

Leaning back in the chair, Su Mu looked at Sun Hongyu’s shining eyes, affirming that he was indeed captivated by his proposal, so he fanned the fire a bit more.

“I heard that a princess in Wu kingdom was disfigured because of smallpox, and the people of Wu kingdom were also deeply harmed and many people died.”

Sun Hongyu felt that his heart was beating violently and uncontrollably. The princess who was disfigured by smallpox just so happened to be his little sister by the same mother.

The princess was lucky, at least she had survived in the end, but unfortunately his little brother by the same mother died.

“I have a way to prevent smallpox.” Su Mu said, looking into his eyes.

He stared at Su Mu, who stopped speaking, in fear that he had guessed wrong.

“If what you said is true……”

“To show my sincerity, I can provide irrigation technology first, and wait until the army arrives in the Qing kingdom……” Su Mu picked up the wine cup and took a gentle sip: “You can choose between farming technology and smallpox treatment technology. The remaining will be handed to you when the 200,000 army returns to Wu kimgdom.”

“Afraid that I will swallow up Qing kingdom? What if you break your promise after the 200,000 army returns to Wu kingdom? And I still don’t know your true identity and the purpose of your borrowing of our troops.” Sun Hongyu asked. Su Mu still had cards up his sleeve, but he was not stupid either.

Su Mu turned the small wine cup in his hand and said, “I am Su Mochi, the Crown Prince of Qing kingdom. I borrow troops to destroy the rebel thieves. The current situation of Qing kingdom can be verified by His Highness. Even in a few decades, it won’t be an opponent for Wu kingdom. I have this kind of self awareness, so how can I break my promise.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Sun Hongyu nodded and said: “This matter is kept secret for the time being, we still need to discuss it as I do not have the final say in Wu kingdom. Also I need to have a look on the concrete object you offer.”

Su Mu nodded, well aware that the Emperor of Wu was not the incapable Emperor of Qing who threw everything to his son.

Loud voices and busy traffic greeted Su Mu and the others when they finally arrived at the capital city of Wu kingdom, Wu City after traveling for a month and a half.

The buildings were tidy and orderly, the streets were wide and brightly lit, and most of the people had smiles on their faces. As Su Mu walked on the busy street, he got the urge to knock unconcious the Crown Prince of Wu and then transmigrate into him.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The kingdom of Wu valued martial arts, so weapons shops could be seen everywhere along the streets, and groups of light armored soldiers with solemn expressions and scrupulous bearing patrolled the streets.

Su Mu looked at the soldiers who walked neatly and orderly in front of him, and felt envious in his heart.

It had been more than ten years since Lan Lan left the kingdom of Wu, and many places have changed over time. Thinking of her old acquaintances, she felt a little sad. But seeing that the Wu kingdom was so prosperous, she also felt proud.

She smiled and said: “There are several very good inns in the city, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant has the best wine, Overlooking River Tower has the freshest fish, and Fragrant Sky Pavilion has the best scenery……”

Lan Lan introduced a lot to them. She had already inquired about all of this before arriving in Wu Kingdom. After her introductions she asked Su Mu: “I wonder which one Gongzi prefers?”

Su Mu was now unable to resist feeling awkward whenever he heard anything wine-related, so he decisively ignored the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, saying: “We go to the Overlooking River Tower.”

Overlooking River Tower was built along the river in the center of Wu City. The fish were all freshly caught from the river and was extremely delicious. Su Mu sat by the window on the third floor, and looked out on the beautiful panoramic scenery of the river.

Exquisitely crafted boats floated slowly across the river. Inside the boats, not only were there men creating and reciting poems as well as debating about the past and the present, but also many women joining in the fun. As a kingdom that valued martial prowess, even the women of Wu kingdom were very tough.

Su Mu stood in front of the window and quietly watched the beautiful scenery on the river, but he did not know that many people on the river were also admiring him.

In an ordinary small boat on the lake, a charming and lovely young woman looked like a bird that had just been let out of the cage as she chattered nonstop. Everything was fresh and interesting and her laughter echoed throughout the entire boat.

A young woman in green robes who was also on the boat had a headache and said: “This girl is really energetic, not even tired after jumping around all morning.”

“It’s rare to come out so it’s no wonder little sister is so happy.” A noble and hearty voice sounded, and at the same time a freshly steamed fish was placed on the table by a maid, exuding a delicious aroma.

“Little sister, your favorite steamed fish is here, won’t you hurry over here?”

Sun Haoran called over at Sun Ziyun who was lying on the railing. But there was no movement for a long time, so he turned his head and called again: “Little sister, your fish is here.”

Still no response. Sun Haoran wondered at this girl who usually loved to eat fish from Overlooking River Tower. Why wasn’t she excited about it today?

Sun Haoran had no choice but to get up and walk towards her. When he arrived at her side, he saw that his little sister was looking dazedly in one direction. He stretched out his hand and pushed her. He said, “What’s the matter? Why are you in a daze.”

Sun Ziyun, who came back to her senses, turned to look at her handsome and tall brother, and then said in a daze: “Brother, I finally saw a better looking man than brother Crown Prince.”

Sun Haoran slapped his sister on the head and lectured: “Stop daydreaming, what is the use of a man with too handsome looks?”

Sun Ziyun rubbed her head and said coquettishly: “Brother, you are hateful, that person is really good-looking just now. I want to go find him.”

After speaking, she turned around and ran out of the cabin. Fortunately, she was caught in time by Sun Haoran.

“It’s improper for you as a girl to rashly approach someone. You are not allowed to go.”

Sun Ziyun struggled: “Brother, you are hateful, let me go! If I lose him then it’s going to be all your fault.”

“Not allowed to go means not allowed to go……”

“Let me go, let me go……”

Suddenly a tall man walked in. When he raised his head, a face that was so handsome it could ensnare the senses came into one’s line of sight, giving all those who saw it a powerful visual impact. It was the kind of unforgettable beauty that was enough to leave a lasting impression even with just one glance.

“What are you fighting about?” The deep and mellow voice immediately stopped the dispute between the two.

Sun Ziyun took a few glances and found that he was not angry, so she boldly said: “Brother Crown Prince, I just saw a man. Can you let him be my prince consort?”

Sun Hongyu raised his eyebrows and said, “What if he already has a wife?”

Sun Ziyun suddenly became troubled. She finally saw a man who was better-looking than brother Crown Prince, how could she give up so easily.

She frowned and said, “But what if he doesn’t? Brother Crown Prince, let’s invite him here and ask him?”

“Don’t be willful!” Sun Haoran scolded on the side: “As a princess of a kingdom, how can you be lacking of suitors?”

“I have to like him myself.” Sun Ziyun retorted.

Sun Hongyu stopped the two siblings who were about to quarrel again, and said: “Just inviting him over for tea won’t be a big deal.”

Sun Ziyun immediately agreed: “That’s right, that’s right. Brother Crown Prince is the best.”

On the other side, Su Mu and the others just happened to finish eating and planned to go back to the inn and rest, when they saw a young man with a straight back and polite manners stopping them.

The young man saluted Su Mu and said: “Paying respects to Gongzi, I am Dong Dongdong, my young master has prepared wine and food on the boat, and would like to invite Gongzi over.”

Su Mu was confused. He just arrived at Wu City and barely even warmed his seat. Who would invite him to dinner?

“Which Gongzi is it?” Su Mu asked.

“My young master’s surname is Sun.” Dong Dongdong stood upright, bearing neither arrogant nor humble, the tone that of one speaking the facts.

Sun was the surname of Wu kingdom’s imperial family, so the hint was quite obvious.

Su Mu’s eyelids twitched. Could it be that he inadvertently offended a member of Wu’s royal family. But based on the attitude of this attendant they had sent, that did not seem to be the case.

Su Mu was actually quite afraid that he would accidentally offend an influential figure as it would make it difficult for him to seek assistance. After he ordered Shi Yan, Liu Xi and the others to wait for him in Overlooking River Tower, he then went downstairs.

Sun Hongyu originally didn’t hold much regard for Sun Ziyun’s words. Just how beautiful could a man be? No matter how good he looked, he was just a man. He had promised his cousin to invite him over only because he was fond of her and was slightly curious.

But when Su Mu appeared in front of him, he found that there really was a kind of person in this world who would still appear aesthetically perfect no matter from the perspective of a man or a woman.

He looked at his blushing cousin next to him, and suddenly became interested in this good-looking man in front of him.

Sun Hongyu stood up and said to Su Mu: “Please excuse us for taking the liberty and interrupting your plans. I am Sun Yuan”

Su Mu swiftly took an inventory of the members of the royal family of the Kingdom of Wu in his mind, and found that there was no such person named Sun Yuan, so he guessed that this person was either a distant relative of the royal family or was using a pseudonym.

Although this person’s tone and attitude appeared very ordinary, but his bearing and mannerisms was obviously not something ordinary people possessed.

Su Mu narrowed down the identity of this person, and then replied with a smile: “I am Su Mu, come from Qing kingdom to Wu kingdom for leisure.”

“Qing kingdom? Which Qing kingdom? Where is it?” Sun Hongyu asked in confusion.

“The evergreen Qing, that is next to Jin kingdom.”

He felt a breath getting stuck, unable to let it out or swallow it down, nearly causing Su Mu unbearable discomfort.

Although the kingdom of Wu was a superpower, and the kingdom of Qing a small nation, as well as there being several kingdoms separating them in between, but still to be disregarded like this……

Su Mu felt a little uncomfortable.

Sun Hongyu saw that the smile on Su Mu’s face faded a little, and he hurriedly searched for the kingdom of Qing in his mind, and then it took a while before he found the name of Qing kingdom from the area of overlapping kingdom names on the map.

With some embarrassment he said: “Brother Su, please don’t be offended, my memory is not very good.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Soft breasts. (TN: Brother Su sounds like the Chinese words for soft breasts, both are prounced su xiong lol)

Su Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and said: “It’s fine, Sun Gongzi is too polite, just me call me Su Mu.”
