Master Kongtong looked at Mu Fengqie with a look of disappointment, finally sighed, and told Mu Fengqie how modern couples fell in love in the previous life.
Mu Fengqie left after staying with him for less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Master Kongtong looked at Mu Fengqie's departing figure with a complicated expression. Alas~ His innocent master had hardly been in a relationship in two lifetimes, but now she had fallen for that scoundrel Jing Xunchè.
After leaving Master Kongtong's residence, Mu Fengqie took Zhu Fei to an inn and stayed there.
"Master, aren't we going back?" Why did they have to stay here? If Marquis Zhongning found out, he would surely follow.
"We'll go back later. I'm waiting for an old acquaintance here." On her way back, Mu Fengqie still believed she hadn't misseen. That figure was definitely Tule Haojia.
Sure enough, as Mu Fengqie had expected, Tule Haojia walked out of the guest room opposite hers. It seemed he was about to go out.
"Zhu Fei, go and invite that young master over. Say it's an invitation from Miss Mu."
Zhu Fei glanced at Mu Fengqie, responded, and went to stop Tule Haojia.
Tule Haojia looked at this suddenly-appearing woman expressionlessly. Just as he was about to bypass her and turn around, he heard, "Sir, our miss would like to invite you over."
"I don't know your miss." Tule Haojia frowned. He didn't want to cause any conflict here. If it were on the grassland, he would have already struck out with his palm.
Zhu Fei watched him turn around without hesitation and said again, "Our miss's surname is Mu."
Mu? Was it her? Tule Haojia stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhu Fei. He sized her up for a moment, said no more, and simply motioned for her to lead the way.
He hadn't expected that even though he had hidden so quickly, she had still discovered him.
"Master, the person is here." After Zhu Fei opened the door for Tule Haojia, she stood guard outside.
"Long time no see." Mu Fengqie looked at Tule Haojia and noticed that he had really changed a lot in the past three years. His eyes were full of exhaustion, and his eye sockets were sunken, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
"You shouldn't have met me." Tule Haojia looked at Mu Fengqie with a complicated look in his eyes. The two of them were destined to become enemies.
"Why do you say so?" Mu Fengqie raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Tule Haojia looked at Mu Fengqie, moved his lips, but said nothing. This woman was someone he had once had feelings for. Now that they met again, it meant they would become enemies in the future.
Seeing Tule Haojia's hesitant look, Mu Fengqie said, "Do you mean that you're going to attack the Qin Dynasty or the Tianlin Kingdom?"
Tule Haojia stared at her with wide eyes, surprised that she already knew. "Since you already know, you shouldn't have met me even more. You should know that I could kill you."
Mu Fengqie ignored Tule Haojia's words and calmly took a sip of tea. "It's been about three years since we separated in the Nanqing Kingdom, right?"
"In these three years, you've continuously attacked the small countries around your grassland. Now, the power of your grassland is only second to that of the Qin Dynasty and the Tianlin Kingdom, right?" There had been quite a stir on their grassland. Mu Fengqie had already known about it when she was in the Pharmacist Valley, but she didn't know what Tule Haojia's goal was.
"That's right. If it weren't for that defeat in Pingzhou, I might have already led my troops into the capital of the Qin Dynasty." But he couldn't. There were those explosive things in Pingzhou, and they couldn't advance at all.
So he could only attack other countries first to expand the territory of the grassland.
"I don't understand." She could tell that Tule Haojia didn't like war.
"What?" Tule Haojia was confused by Mu Fengqie's sudden words. Didn't understand what?
"I can tell that you're a person who yearns for freedom and doesn't want to be restricted by these rules."
Tule Haojia laughed after hearing Mu Fengqie's words. So what if he yearned for freedom? "I think you're also a capable person. You shouldn't stay by a man's side. You're more suitable to be self - reliant."
Tule Haojia said this sincerely. If this person were a man, he might be a strong opponent of his. It was a pity.
"Your Highness is joking. I stay by Ache's side because I like him, or rather... because I love him." Mu Fengqie smiled and explained to Tule Haojia.
Tule Haojia burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. Love? She could say this so easily. Everything in this world was easy to obtain, but the human heart was the most difficult thing to understand.
Mu Fengqie glanced at Tule Haojia and said nothing.
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you. Before long, our Tule troops will attack the Qin Dynasty. This is also my advice to you as we've known each other. Leave quickly." He didn't want to be an enemy of hers.
"Can you tell me why?" Mu Fengqie stared fixedly at Tule Haojia.
"Why? I've sworn to the King of the Grassland that I'll give him the most powerful grassland country in the world when I'm twenty - five years old." After he turned twenty - five, he would be free.
"I've heard that there's a beauty in the hands of the King of the Grassland. She's been trapped by him for many years, but unfortunately, no one has ever seen what this beauty looks like.
I wonder if the Prince of the Grassland has seen her?" Mu Fengqie looked at Tule Haojia with a deep look in her eyes, not missing any change in his expression.
"He has so many women around him. I don't know which one you're talking about." But if you looked closely, you could still notice that Tule Haojia's hand was trembling slightly, although he was trying hard to calm himself down.
"Oh, it's nothing. If that's the case, then we'll meet again some day."
Tule Haojia glanced at Mu Fengqie, said nothing, and turned around to go out. After leaving, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.
"Master, shall we go back?" Zhu Fei glanced at the departing Tule Haojia, not understanding why her master wanted to see him.
"Let's go back." It was getting late. After going back, she had to ask Jing Xunchè to investigate Tule Haojia.
When Mu Fengqie got back, Jing Xunchè and Heng'er were glaring at each other, neither willing to give in.
"Cough... What are you two doing?" Competing to see who had bigger eyes?
"Master..."
"Qier..."
The big one and the small one immediately ran over after hearing Mu Fengqie's voice.
"Master, look at him. He's been disturbing me while I'm doing my homework." Heng'er looked at Jing Xunchè accusingly and began to complain to Mu Fengqie pitifully.
"I was just trying to help you out of kindness." He was such an ungrateful kid! And he even complained to Qier!
"You'd be doing me the biggest favor if you just stopped causing me trouble."
