"This time, infiltrating the West Chu is a bit more dangerous, but it's alright. As long as we return to the Northern Week, nothing will happen."

"You think too simply." Shi Jiu scoffed, "I once heard the conversation between the Prince and Mu Qian Xue. The Prince agreed to help her restore the Nanzhao, so the danger in the future would definitely be great. The only way is to kill Mu Qian Xue and help the Prince escape this calamity forever."

Shi Wu did not know about this matter, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Have you ever thought, if this matter were to be known by the Prince, what would happen?"

Shi Jiu's eyes suddenly became stern, and said: "You want to denounce me?"

"One day, Prince will find out about the wall that can let the wind through no matter where you go."

Shi Jiu raised his beautiful chin, and said quietly: "Even if there really comes a day like that … I don't regret it either! "

Shi Wu's chest was twisted, and an indescribable unhappiness filled every breath he took, "So, Mu Qian Xue must die?"

"Yes sir!"

His words were equivalent to admitting Shi Jiu's actions, causing the latter to heave a sigh of relief, "Many thanks."

Just as Shi Jiu was about to turn around and leave, Shi Wu suddenly spoke out. "Remember, once you enter the God's opportunity, you will turn around without a reason. I do not wish for there to come a day when I will execute you personally."

"There won't be that day." Shi Jiu said without turning his head back.

When they returned, the corpses of the Nanzhao's old people had already been buried in the ground. They were buried in an open area on the west side of the ancestral hall.

"I have made an agreement with the few villagers here, every time it's cold and clear, they would come here to pay respects. Once you have restored the Nanzhao, we will move their corpses back to their homes and bury them."

"Thank you very much." Mu Qian Xue's face was pale white. Under the moonlight, it was so transparent that not a hint of blood could be seen.

Dong Fang Su looked at her haggard face and said softly, "I know that nothing I can say right now will be able to calm the grief in your heart, but …"

"I'm fine." Mu Qian Xue lifted his red and swollen eyes that were no longer tearing up, "Before I rebuild my Nanzhao, I won't let anything happen to myself."

Dong Fang Su was not good at comforting others, upon hearing her say that, he nodded his head: "That's good, no matter what decision you make, I will help you with it."

Mu Qian Xue looked at the quiet man in front of him and said again: "Thank you."

"I don't see anyone else." While speaking, Dong Fang Su said: "I have already sent someone to fetch Jiang Yue and Xia Yue. Since there's still some time before dawn, I will help you go to sleep for a while.

Jiang Yue and Xia Yue did not know any martial arts, so in order to prevent them from getting hurt while ambushing Yan Zhong Shan, Dong Fang Su had them placed in a safe place.

With Dong Fang Su's support, Mu Qian Xue struggled to stand up, "There's too much trouble at night. What if the news spread to the camp of the West Chu, which is not too far away, then we won't be able to escape if they send troops there to annihilate us. Let's go now."

After she mentioned it, Dong Fang Su also realized the danger involved and immediately said: "Alright, once Jiang Yue and Yue Shan are here, we will immediately head to Qi."

He believed that from today onwards, the three words "Mu Qian Xue" would become Xiao Ruo Ao's biggest sore point!

The border between the two countries was over a hundred miles long, so unless it was wartime, there was no one to guard it. There was only a small ravine less than 10 feet wide that was barely able to be used as a natural barrier.

To the people of the Camping, this was naturally not a big deal. They quickly felled a raft from the nearby trees for crossing the river.

Mu Qian Xue stood on top of a small hill not far from the river, silently watching the West Chu that was enveloped in the morning light.

Dong Fang Su walked behind her and whispered: "The raft is ready, let's go."

"Alright." Mu Qian Xue responded quickly and followed him down the mound. The moment she boarded the raft, she turned around again and firmly engraved this place that had destroyed everything in her heart.

The day of his return was the day the West Chu would be destroyed!

Although the Qi and the Northern Week were on guard against each other, on the surface, they still maintained a normal relationship and interacted with each other, allowing Dong Fang Su and his group to enter the borders of the Northern Week smoothly as merchants.

No matter how long Xiao Ruo Ao's hand was, it couldn't possibly reach the Northern Week. Passing through the border, it would take about seven days to reach the capital of the Northern Week — — Jinling.

However, for Dong Fang Su, there was one more thing he needed to resolve before he reached the Jinling.

Jiang Yue slowly paced back and forth in his own room, his brows tightly knitted, thinking about something.

"Duk Duk Duk Duk", a knock on the door interrupted Jiang Yue's train of thought as he casually asked: "What's the matter?"

"The waiter said that they have a new high-grade cave mansion, Jade Net Spring. This King has ordered some, and would like to have a cup of tea with the Lord Jiang. Is that possible?"

Hearing it was Dong Fang Su's voice, Jiang Yue immediately opened the door, and saw Dong Fang Su standing at the doorway, he quickly invited him in, and then cupped his hands in apology, "This official thinks it is the waiter, my words are disrespectful, I hope Prince can forgive me."

"It's not the fault of the ignorant." Dong Fang Su placed a tea jar on the table. "If this king is not mistaken, the Jade Net Spring in the courtyard should be the Lord Jiang's favorite tea cup."

Jiang Yue was surprised: "That's right, how does Prince know?"

Dong Fang Su curled his lips, "Why don't we drink some tea and talk?"

"Prince is right, this official will get the waiter to send water." After ordering the waiter to bring the boiling water, Jiang Yue was making tea as he tried to guess Dong Fang Su's purpose for coming here. Before coming to West Chu, he and Dong Fang Su did not interact much with each other, at most he just looked up and greeted him.

"Prince, please." He passed a cup of Jade-green Spring Tea to Dong Fang Su, who took a sip of the Jade-green Clear Tea Soup and nodded: "It's sweet and elegant, fresh and appetizing. It's indeed a first-class Jadeite Spring."
