Pathological Trapping - Chap 135
”It’s cold and bitter here, and it’s really not as comfortable as in the capital. You have to give me some sweet treats to keep me going. Otherwise, I can kiss you.”
Without waiting for Li Dezhuang to say no, Mu Jian leaned over and kissed him on the face. After the kiss, he gave him another kiss as if he was still not satisfied.
Smiling, “It’s so nice to kiss.”
Li Dezhuang’s face turned red from his kiss and he walked out angrily.
Mu Jian chased him.
Someone outside came to report, “Counselor Ji, a young man named Shang wants to see you.”
Li Dezhuang felt as if he had been granted amnesty, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Take me there!” Brother came at the perfect time!
Mu Jian stood there, his eyes gloomy, and said nothing.
Shang Yin sat in the carriage, gently waving the fan in his hand, fanning his hair, looking like a graceful young man.
Seeing Li Dezhuang coming, he closed the fan in his hand with a snap and jumped off the carriage.
”I brought you what you wanted!”
”You came here alone? Aren’t you afraid of danger?”
”What kind of danger could there be? The word has spread among the people that General Liu Yong is so brave that he is not dead. Together with the staff officers in the mansion, one civil and one military, they are killing people everywhere with their son. Wherever you are, it is the safest place! I heard that the emperor is here too?”
Li Dezhuang nodded, took the things in his hand, and asked him to sit inside for a while.
”In fact, it is not very safe. The war is tense. The Yi people refuse to return the Thirteen Prefectures of Youyun, and the two armies are still in a standoff.”
”I heard that there is chaos over there among the Yi people?”
Li Dezhuang poured him some tea, “How did you know?”
”I’m a businessman, so I’m well-informed. Whoever came up with that idea is amazing.”
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
Shang Yin was surprised and applauded in admiration.
”Your Majesty’s plan is truly brilliant. It was achieved without bloodshed!”
Li Dezhuang sat down and said, “Your Majesty also plans to have people spread the news tomorrow that the disease is contagious, so that everyone will be in danger. The city will become a dead city. It will be much easier for us to attack it then.”
Shang Yin was so excited that he opened the fan in his hand.
”Then can other cities do the same? Just release one or two sick people and secretly poison them. By then, the entire Yi tribe will be in chaos.”
Li Dezhuang nodded.
A few days ago, Mu Jian said that he could win the battle without bloodshed, but he still didn’t believe it.
Now I believe it.
”Your Majesty is so amazing. I think you should follow your Majesty in the future. You won’t have to worry about wealth and honor. I can also benefit from your glory.”
Shang Yin took a sip of tea and said, “Your military camp is full of strong men. If you want to go to other cities, it may be inconvenient. Why don’t I do it for you?”
Li Dezhuang was a little hesitant. He couldn’t give orders on behalf of Mu Jian.
Shang Yin thought that he was just worried about him and patted him on the shoulder.
”Don’t worry about me. Since I’ve decided to help, I must be sure before I can help.”
After he finished speaking, he felt like there was a leak somewhere, and it was eerie. So he put it back. When he put it back, the feeling was gone.
Shang Yin didn’t take it seriously and said with a smile: “My future wealth and honor will depend on you, brother. You must hold on to the emperor’s thigh tightly!”
Li Dezhuang: “…”
Mu Jian curled his lips behind the screen.
This person is not bad.
I misunderstood him just now.
Chapter 105 This is a really clever move
”Staff Officer Ji.”
Mu Jian’s voice suddenly came from behind the screen.
Li Dezhuang was slightly surprised and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Mu Jian walked out from behind the screen, wearing a dark yellow brocade robe. He had a calm temperament and a sharp look between his brows.
Shang Yin was shocked. He had only seen the emperor from afar during the coronation ceremony, so he quickly knelt down.
”Your Highness.”
Mu Jian waved his hand, looking quite casual, and sat down on the chair, “Get up.”
Shang Yin stood up and saw Li Dezhuang winking at the emperor.
Li Dezhuang: Why are you here?
Mu Jian pretended not to see it and smiled.
”My plan hasn’t even been implemented yet, but Staff Officer Ji leaked it to me. What if others get to know about it and the battle is ruined? What should I do?”
Although he was smiling, the chill in his words when he said this still frightened Shang Yin so much that he knelt on the ground.
Li Dezhuang quickly explained: “Shang Yin is trustworthy. Many of my weapons were made from him.”
Mu Jian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Dezhuang indifferently.
This sight frightened Li Dezhuang. He suddenly realized that although Mu Jian still looked like the child he was back then, he was already an emperor.
All it takes is a look or a gesture, and even heads falling off and rivers of blood flowing cannot be a problem.
Li Dezhuang knelt down and said, “I was wrong. It was a moment of negligence. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Mu Jian’s gaze swept across Li Dezhuang and fell on Shang Yin’s head.
”I heard that you are good friends with Staff Officer Ji? In the early years, in order to avoid your family’s marriage, you lied to your family that you had someone you loved. Is this person Staff Officer Ji?”
Li Dezhuang was shocked.
What the hell?!
He looked up in shock.
He just happened to meet Shang Yin who was also looking up in shock.
Li Dezhuang and Shang Yin exchanged glances: When did it happen?
Shang Yin pretended not to see it and laughed awkwardly twice.
”That was all back then. We were young and ignorant.”
This is acknowledged.
Li Dezhuang wanted to strangle him to death!
He recalled the look in the housekeeper’s eyes when he first entered and left his bookstore.
Today, I finally understand why!
Li Dezhuang wanted to strangle him to death!
Mu Jian tapped his fingers slowly on the armrest of the chair. “Since you two are good friends, Mr. Shang should stay here for two days. When things at the border are stable, you can go out for a walk.”
