Chapter 509: Play Something Exciting

Prince Yu felt that he had just been humiliated, but he had no concrete evidence!

Your Majesty, since it’s a peace negotiation, then the main thing is naturally about maintaining good bilateral relations between the two kingdoms in the future. Everything else is secondary.”

Xiao Jin tapped his fingertips on the desk. “That’s true, but… Since the Nan State is the defeated kingdom, then how should the terms be negotiated? Shouldn’t our Chu State have the final say? However, I also hope that the Chu State and the Nan State can have good bilateral relations. In that case, I don’t want that city anymore, but as for the rest, you should discuss it thoroughly with the monarch of the Nan State, Prince Yu. When the things are delivered, I will definitely send the best troops in the capital city to escort you out of the ’ Chu State, Prince Yu.”

To Prince Yu, these words were blatantly an outright threat. If he didn’t agree to these conditions, then he could forget about returning home!

Prince Yu left the Imperial study with a face that had turned purple with rage.

When he returned to his lodging, Prince Yu could only send another message to the Nan State’s monarch and try his best to convince him. Otherwise, Prince Yu would be the one in trouble.

Although there was a state protocol saying envoys would not be executed, Xiao Jin had thousands of legitimate ways to make him die in the capital city.

After he returned to the palace for temporary stays, Prince Yu’s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot. The most important thing now was for him to think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Send a letter to Emperor Father immediately and tell him Xiao Jin’s latest intentions. If Emperor Father is unwilling to accept these terms, we have to prepare for the worst.”

The expressions of the envoys were not pleasant. “Your Highness, don’t worry. The Emperor of the Chu State probably only wants to put pressure on you and doesn’t really dare to touch you.”

Unlike the envoys, Prince Yu did not think that Xiao Jin wouldn’t dare to touch him at all. “No matter what happens, we have to think of a way to leave the capital city as soon as possible.”

Yes, Your Highness. Your official will immediately send a message to His Majesty.” It would be best if the monarch of the Nan State could agree to Xiao Jin’s terms. Otherwise, none of the officials would have an easy time.

At night, after Xiao Jin had taken a bath and walked into the inner hall, he saw Su Ying sitting cross-legged on the bed. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were sparkling brightly.

Su Ying beckoned to him with a hooked finger.

Xiao Jin’s lips curled up and with a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone from the inner hall. He walked up to Su Ying and bent low to press his forehead against hers.

Su Ying cupped his face with both hands and whispered, “Your Majesty, do you want to play something exciting tonight?”

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes turned a shade deeper. “Yes. How shall we play, my Empress?”

Su Ying smiled, and Xiao Jin’s throat tightened. The temperature emitted by the red candles in the inner hall grew hotter and hotter.

Xiao Jin flicked his sleeve, and the candles in the hall were instantly extinguished.

Fifteen minutes later.

Xiao Jin carried Su Ying on his back as he leaped from roof to roof, the pale moonlight occasionally illuminating the glum expression on his face.

If he had known that the exciting thing Su Ying was referring to was climbing over the wall and leaving the palace in the middle of the night, he would have simply pressed her down in bed before talking about anything else.

Su Ying really didn’t want to exercise in the middle of the night, so she made Xiao Jin carry her. His celerity skill was good. After all, she had to give her man some opportunity to display his talents.

More than an hour later, Xiao Jin and Su Ying landed steadily in the courtyard of the old academy.

Both of them were dressed in full black and they almost blended into the moonlit night.

After Xiao Jin landed firmly, Su Ying got off his back and pointed at the cla.s.sroom building in front. “Is it that row of houses over there that is reportedly haunted?”

Xiao Jin shook his head in answer. He wasn’t that clear about the details.

“Let’s go over and take a look.”

“No need to rush. It’s not time yet. Let’s look for a place to wait.”

Su Ying and Xiao Jin found a secluded place to lay low.

The response from the people here was that the female ghost always appeared after midnight. Su Ying wanted to know who this female ghost was.

Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly when he saw Su Ying’s expression of keen interest. He could have let others do these things, but she found it interesting, so he accompanied her to play along.

Due to the ghost-haunting incident, the Ministry of Works sent two teams of people to patrol the area at night. Su Ying and Xiao Jin were hidden in the dark but they could still see the Imperial Guards patrolling back and forth.

However, nothing unusual happened during this period of time.

Su Ying yawned as she leaned into Xiao Jin’s embrace and closed her eyes to rest. “Wake me up if there’s any movement.”

Xiao Jin smiled and pulled her into his arms. “Okay.”

The patrolling Imperial Guards pa.s.sed by. Xiao Jin’s eyes were like a ferocious leopard in the night which was able to see all the prey lurking in the darkness.

Right at this moment, white smoke suddenly rose from the direction the Imperial Guards were heading toward. As the night was too dark, no one would notice unless they were standing upwind.

Su Ying felt Xiao Jin’s muscles tighten, and she opened her eyes and became alert.

She followed Xiao Jin’s line of sight and saw white smoke pouring into the enclosure behind the courtyard wall.

111 go take a look,” Xiao Jin said in a low voice.

Su Ying nodded. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xiao Jin leaping toward the courtyard wall.

She also walked to the other side and found that the patrolling Imperial Guards were all trapped in the white smoke. From the looks of it, they seemed to have been befuddled by the smoke.

Su Ying leaped down from the roof. As soon as she got close, she could detect the smell emitted by the smoke.

She quickly backed away and held her breath. After the smoke dispersed, she went closer to check on the Imperial Guards’ conditions.

At this moment, there was a sudden slight movement behind her. Su Ying went into hiding again.

While hiding behind a large stone pillar, Su Ying saw a figure in red float up to the Imperial Guards.

The figure’s hair was disheveled and she was dressed in all red. Under the pale moonlight, she looked particularly sinister and terrifying.

“Boo hoo hoo hoo…”

The “female ghost” emitted wailing, crying sounds and attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards.

“Argh! A ghost! There’s a ghost!”

The Imperial Guards were so terrified that they all fell to the ground on their b.u.t.ts. Some of them turned around to run, but they realized that they could not exert any strength at all. It was as if they had been frozen by the female ghost.

The female ghost” floated up to them and slowly raised her face which was as white as a sheet. She frightened the Imperial Guards so much that they kept screaming.

Su Ying observed her surroundings and then turned to look at the female ghost. With a soft snort, she darted forward and kicked the “female ghost” in the back.

Argh! The female ghost let out a m.u.f.fled grunt and fell flat to the ground.

“I want to see who dares to play tricks here!”

The “female ghost” realized that her cover had been blown. She did not dare to stay any longer and leaped onto the wall to escape.

Su Ying gave a scornful sneer and quickly pursued her. This “female ghost” must be very familiar with the layout of the old academy as her speed of escape was extremely fast. However, no matter how fast she was, she could never be faster than the shots fired from the tranquilizer gun in Su Ying’s hand.

Su Ying’s shot hit the target squarely, instantly knocking her down!

Su Ying put away the tranquilizer gun in her hand and slowly walked over to her. She reached out and touched the other party’s body. It was warm. This was not the body temperature a ghost should have.

She turned the ghost over and saw his terrifyingly gaping big, b.l.o.o.d.y mouth

and his face that had been painted eerily white.

Su Ying grabbed his red robe and used it to wipe his face. Sure enough, a large patch of white was wiped off.

Someone was indeed playing tricks here.

Su Ying yanked him up and returned to the spot where the Imperial Guards had collapsed. She found that all the Imperial Guards had fainted on the ground..
