Chapter 638: The Emperor’s Will

“Why me again?” Su Li refused.

Su MO played his elder brother card and asked Su Li to stay where he was and grow mushrooms again. He used his qinggong and followed the other party with Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Li squatted on the ground and drew circles. “My qinggong is clearly better, and I don’t need you to guide me… You’re biased!” The two of them quickly caught up to each other.

It was a man wearing a bamboo hat and a gray robe.

This dressing was unlike any of the officials or envoys who had entered the hunting ground today.

It was a little like the White Lotus Society.

That person came to an old banyan tree covered in vines and looked around, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, the person he was waiting for appeared.

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned. Zhao Kangning?

However, this was not the most shocking thing. When the man took off his bamboo hat, Su Xiaoxiao saw his face clearly.

It was the guardian beside MO Guiyuan—Zhang Feng!

Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO lowered their bodies slightly and hid behind a flower bush.

“It’s Zhang Feng, right?” she asked silently.

Su MO nodded slightly. “It’s him.”

MO Guiyuan was dead, and Zhang Feng’s whereabouts were unknown. He had also disappeared with him and obtained the previous emperor’s imperial edict.

Xiao Zhonghua was just short of turning the capital upside down when he looked for Zhang Feng. Who would have thought that he would come knocking on their door and even meet Zhao Kangning?

Was it instructed by the Eldest Princess?

Countless doubts flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind. Just as she was thinking, the two people under the banyan tree spoke.

Zhao Kangning asked calmly, “Did your master ask me out for something?”

MO Guiyuan was already dead. The master Zhao Kangning was talking about could not be him.

It seemed that their previous guess was right. This Zhang Feng was a spy planted beside MO Guiyuan.

Zhang Feng said solemnly, “Master didn’t ask me to come. I wanted to make a deal with Princess Kangning myself. If Princess Kangning isn’t willing, then I think your sister, Princess Changle, might be very willing.”

Princess Changle was the princess who had married into the Western Jin.

Zhao Kangning glanced at him coldly. “Are you threatening me?”

Behind her, the two experts took a step forward and pushed the scabbard with their thumbs, pulling the sword out an inch.

Zhang Feng stabilized his mind and said, “I don’t dare. I’m just providing Princess Kangning with a choice.”

Zhao Kangning sized him up mockingly. “You came to meet me alone. I admire your guts, but you should understand that it’s easy for me to kill you.”

Zhao Feng said, “Princess Kang Ning, if you think my deal is worthless, it won’t be too late to kill me.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, This Zhang Feng is a negotiator. However, what deal does he want to make with Zhao Kangning behind the Eldest Princess’s back?

Zhao Kangning said unrestrainedly, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance. Remember, if I’m not interested, I’ll definitely take your life based on your disrespect just now!”

Zhang Feng said seriously, “I have a will left behind by the late emperor before he died. It concerns the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.”

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. The previous emperor’s imperial edict was indeed in this guy’s hands!

Zhao Kangning’s eyes flashed with interest.

“Where’s the will?” she asked high up in the air.

Zhang Feng smiled and looked at the expert behind Zhao Kangning who could kill him at any time. “I’m not that stupid to bring such an important thing with me.”

Zhao Kangning smiled coldly. “What do you want from me?”

Zhang Feng said bluntly, “A sum of money and a travel pass to the Western Jin.”

“Why don’t you go to Northern Yan?” Zhao Kangning had just asked when she thought of something and smiled. “Ah, your master has spies in Northern Yan.

I’m a little curious. Why did you betray your master?”

Zhang Feng was not led by the nose. “This is my own business. Princess

Kangning, just tell me. Do you want to make this deal with me?”

Zhao Kangning smiled. “What if I don’t agree and turn you in?”

Zhang Feng said fearlessly, “Then both sides will suffer. I won’t be able to live, and you won’t be able to obtain the imperial edict to deal with the Great Zhou.”

It was impossible for Zhao Kangning not to want it.

This was why Zhang Feng dared to meet her alone.

Zhao Kangning hesitated for a moment before finally making a decision. “Alright, I’ll give you what you want in three days.”

Zhang Feng said, “When I get the money and pass, I’ll tell Princess Kang Ning where I hid the imperial edict.”

Zhao Kangning was not afraid that he would go back on his word. It was too easy to track him down with the route she had given him.

She would not destroy Zhang Feng’s mouth after the matter was done. She was a person who kept her word. Otherwise, Zhang Feng would not have looked for her.

“Who’s there!”

The expert on Zhao Kangning’s right suddenly spoke.

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo’s expressions froze.

Had they been discovered?

In the next moment, several masked men in black rushed over from behind the bushes opposite and rushed towards Zhang Feng without a word.

It turned out that she and Su MO hadn’t been exposed… Su Xiaoxiao’s expression softened.

However, soon, she realized that it was better for her and Su MO to be exposed.

Because the group of men in black were here for Zhang Feng. They wanted to capture him.

Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “It’s the Eldest Princess’s people. She wants to take back the imperial edict!”

Zhang Feng hid everywhere and never appeared. The Eldest Princess might have guessed that Zhang Feng wanted to betray her and that Zhang Feng had come to trade with the Northern Yan diplomatic mission. Therefore, she secretly sent someone to follow the Northern Yan diplomatic mission and laid in wait for Zhang Feng.

The masters behind Northern Yan and Zhang Feng were in cahoots, but this relationship was not indestructible.

In the face of absolute benefits, everything was not worth mentioning. Zhao Kangning ordered, “Stop them! Don’t let them take Zhang Feng away!”

The two experts drew their swords and fought with the group of men in black.

Zhang Feng took the opportunity to escape.

“Do you want to attack?” Su MO asked.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes. The imperial edict can’t fall into Zhao Kangning’s hands.”

It should be said that she needed that imperial edict. She did not want Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu to hide anymore. She wanted them to live openly under the sun.

The two of them took a detour to block Zhang Feng from the other side.

Seeing that Zhang Feng had escaped, the leader gritted his teeth and suddenly shot out a flying knife!

The flying knife cut Zhang Feng’s neck on the spot.

Zhang Feng fell to the ground.

Su MO quickly helped him up and covered the wound on his neck.

Blood kept gushing out.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darkened. She squatted down and opened the first aid kit. She took the blood-staunching elixir and sprinkled it on his wound. “Where’s the imperial edict? Tell me quickly! I’ll save you now!” “It’s… it’s…” Zhang Feng vomited blood. “Fly…”

Su Xiaoxiao listened. “Fly what?” Zhang Feng breathed his last.

“He’s dead,” Su MO said.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned

The clue that she had just obtained was cut off just like that.

However, on the bright side, the imperial edict did not fall into Zhao Kangning’s hands, nor did she let the Eldest Princess take it back.

“Check him to see if he left any clues.”

“Let me do it.”

He didn’t want his sister to touch the corpse.

Su MO searched Zhang Feng’s entire body and dug out his pants. He had suffered damage that someone of his gender should not have.

But if he didn’t touch it, his sister would.

Then he would have to touch it.

Fortunately, he had gained something. He found a pair of cards, a letter, and a key to the inn..
