Chapter 181 - Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Chapter 181 - Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Feng Muyan frowned even more tightly. Why did he always feel that something was wrong? Yuntian just said that there were two men in black, so where did the other one go? Could it be that their target was not Li'er, but... "Oh no, they've lured the tiger away from the mountain! Fifth brother, go back to the front hall!" Feng Muyan disappeared from everyone's sight after he finished speaking.
Feng Yixuan was so smart that the blood in his body seemed to freeze in an instant and he ran out after Feng Muyan.
"What do you mean by luring the tiger away from the mountain... Oh no... Jiujiu!" Mu Ziyan frowned.
When the two brothers rushed to the front hall, Feng Shijiu was nowhere to be seen. They found a lonely note on the table, which read, "If you want the child to live, let Feng Muyan wait for me at Juechen Slope at five o'clock tomorrow morning with Shui Mochen's relics!"
"Ninth brother, who will stay..."
"Fifth brother, it was left by Gu Qinghong, it couldn't be anyone else. I recognize her handwriting." Feng Muyan said in a low voice, his eyes gradually becoming complicated. Could she finally bear it and want to tear her face off? It would be best not to hurt Jiujiu, otherwise he wouldn't mind going all the way to Chu Nan Kingdom again.
"But these are my mother's relics..." Feng Yixuan looked anxious.
"Fifth brother, the box that Li'er lost must contain our mother's relics, right? Can you tell me what those relics are so that I can be prepared and forge a copy?" Feng Muyan pondered for a moment before raising his head and asking.
Feng Yixuan was stunned. He didn't expect that his ninth brother already knew about the queen mother's relics. However, after thinking it over, he decided to be honest. After all, they were all the queen mother's children, and he had the right to know.
"It's a piece of black jade in the shape of a jade coiled dragon. It's more like a military talisman than a jade pendant."
"How could there be a military token in my mother's hand? Nanyue only has two military tokens in total. One is in Shen Junyang's hand, and the other is in my hand. How can it be a relic of my mother?" Feng Muyan was very confused.
"Ninth brother, the military token in mother's hand is not Nanyue's. You have read all kinds of military books, but have you heard of the 106 cavalrymen of Lanling?" Feng Yixuan asked, turning around with his hands behind his back.
Feng Muyan always felt that this name was very familiar. He couldn't help but close his eyes and meditate. The books he had read kept flashing in his mind. Where had he seen it before? Lanling... Lanling... Lanling Kingdom... Lanling 106 Riders! Could it be that...
"Just as you thought. One of the most important things among our mother's relics is the military token for mobilizing the 106 cavalrymen of Lanling." Feng Yixuan nodded solemnly.
No matter how strong Feng Muyan's psychological endurance was, he couldn't help but take a breath.
No wonder Gu Qinghong had gone to such great lengths to find this relic. She must have known what it was, so the forgery method would not work. What should she do now? But how could the Queen Mother have the military tokens of the 106 Lanling Cavalrymen?
“Ninth brother, this cavalry team of only 106 people safely escorted our six-year-old mother out of Lanling Kingdom under the siege of 30,000 people. This shows how terrifying this team is. It is understandable that some people want to recruit them for their own use.” How could Feng Yixuan not see the confusion of his ninth brother, so he explained.
After hearing what his fifth brother said, Feng Muyan became even more confused. His mother's family name was Shui, so how could she be related to the 106 Lanling Riders? And as far as he knew, the 106 Lanling Riders only worked for the Shui family, which was in power in Lanling State... Wait... Just now his fifth brother said that the 106 Riders escorted his six-year-old mother out of Lanling State. Could it be that his mother was the only descendant of the Lan family who escaped that year!
"Fifth brother, are you saying that our mother is not from the Shui family..."
"That's right. The people who escorted her at that time inquired for a long time before selecting the Shui family who was suitable for their young master to grow up. Then they all left incognito, leaving only a few people to secretly guard the only bloodline of the Lan family. However, they did not expect that their mother would be chosen to enter the palace."
