Chapter 397 Sending a Message via Carrier Pigeon
What surprised her was that the special envoy was Mu Tianhan, the renowned blade of the enemy country.
Old Master Mu, Mu Tianhan, sat alone in a bamboo chair in the living room, his eyes shining as he stared at the full table of fine wine and delicacies, constantly marveling.
It was as if he had never tasted such delicious food in his life, nor had he ever appreciated the beauty of exquisite women and their melodious singing, which made him appear so infatuated.
“Go, go, go. All of you, leave.” Mu Tianhan waved at the beautiful women, signaling them to leave.
The beautiful women exchanged glances, and then, with no other choice, they flicked their sleeves and left.
Mo Lian paused, then walked up to Mu Tianhan and sat down, smiling as she said, “I didn’t expect the person the Emperor sent to be the Elder Mu. It’s been a long time.”
Mu Tianhan laughed heartily, poured himself a full cup of kaoliang liquor, and stared intently at the color of the wine for half a second. Then, he took a shallow sip, his hand stroking his elegant, snow-white beard. He actually frowned and said, “I didn’t expect our enemy country’s kaoliang liquor to be so different. It’s red and dazzling to look at, and the taste is long and profound, very special.” Mo Lian chuckled, “Elder Mu is truly humorous. I’ve never met a man as humorous as Old Master Mu, which I find rather strange.
The last time I saw Old Master Mu, he wasn’t like this in my impression. Moreover, Old Master Mu has suddenly become the Emperor’s envoy and dismissed the beautiful women I invited. This is truly unexpected for me.” Mu Tianhan burst into laughter, “That’s because Miss Mo doesn’t understand my rough way of doing things. Besides, Mu Tianhan is so old now, he no longer has the energy for beauties. Beautiful women are too dazzling to look at, so it’s better to do without them.
However, the purpose of my visit today is to tell Miss Mo something. I hope Miss Mo can persuade General Fei Bufan to not go too far in everything he does. Doing too much can breed resentment, and it’s best to know when to stop.
As the saying goes, if you don’t want anyone to know, then don’t do it. No matter how well General Fei Bufan packages his actions, there will be a day when flaws are exposed. The Emperor hopes that General Fei Bufan will not anger him.
Miss Mo, you might not know this. Even though the Emperor appears this way now, once he’s pushed too far and gets angry, things won’t be so good.
At that time, the Emperor is capable of doing anything. Moreover, in our enemy country, it is still the Emperor who has the final say. The Emperor’s intention is to prevent General Fei Bufan’s demonic soldiers and divine beasts from becoming a destructive force that slaughters the world and brings disaster to humanity. Miss Mo, you should understand by now why the Emperor sent me to find you.”
Mo Lian, despite knowing the Emperor’s intentions, feigned ignorance out of fear of Fei Bufan’s power in the enemy country, saying, “I don’t understand what Elder Mu means? Elder Mu is truly joking.
Besides, General Fei Bufan’s training of those demonic soldiers and divine beasts was specially approved by the Emperor. Now that the Emperor has suddenly gone back on his word, I truly don’t understand. Elder Mu, am I wrong?” Mu Tianhan put down his wine cup, picked up a piece of meat from the plate, and chewed it savoringly.
Then, his gaze turned cold, like a nail, piercing Mo Lian’s charming face, which was covered in heavy makeup. He said, “Miss Mo may not know, but it’s one thing for the Emperor to have specially approved General Fei Bufan establishing the Demonic beast training camp, and it’s another thing for him to regret it after sobering up.
There is a subtle difference between these two. I, Mu Tianhan, only obey the Emperor’s orders and always keep my word, but it depends on the priority and the occasion.
In other words, if I, Mu Tianhan, believe that something the Emperor previously agreed to has fundamentally violated my personal intentions, I can completely nullify it as if it never happened. I hope Miss Mo can understand the reasons and the complex relationships involved. The Emperor loves his people like his own children; it is truly rare for him to have such a kind heart.”
Mo Lian was a little displeased, poured herself a drink, and took a sip. “I didn’t expect Elder Mu to be so old yet still helping the Emperor with his worries. You truly impress me.”
Mu Tianhan was not angry and continued to pick up a piece of meat with his hand and put it in his mouth to chew. “I have a habit of not using chopsticks to pick up food when I eat. Please don’t laugh at me, Miss Mo. It’s a habit, and I can’t change it even if I want to. Besides, the Emperor has promised to give me an important position now, and I cannot let down the Emperor’s great favor. I must find a way to achieve something for him.”
To prevent her subordinates from suspecting that she was betraying Fei Bufan, Mo Lian pretended to be angry and stood up unhappily, saying to Mu Tianhan, “Elder Mu, I advise you. What if you have the current Emperor backing you?
Can the Emperor really fight against General Fei Bufan? I advise you not to play mind games with us. You will be the one to suffer. You must think clearly.
If anything happens to General Fei Bufan’s Demonic beast training camp, General Fei Bufan and I will hold you accountable.” Mu Tianhan laughed heartily and winked mysteriously, “Miss Mo, do you know why I didn’t bring my sword today?”
Mo Lian said, “Because when you came, you were full of confidence, thinking I would surely listen to you and wouldn’t guard against you. Therefore, you felt it was unnecessary to bring a sword.”
“Wrong!” Mu Tianhan laughed. “The reason I didn’t bring a sword is that I don’t want to resort to force with Miss Mo. I want to have a gentle negotiation with Miss Mo to see what your strength really is.
Now I understand. Miss Mo still lacks the calm demeanor of an expert when facing matters. Moreover, when I came, I had already found out the news about Black and White Double-edged Sword venturing into that primitive forest. Also, General Fei Bufan went to that forest and has not yet returned. Without these worries, I, Mu Tianhan, wouldn’t be bothered to bring a sword to see you.”
After speaking, he got up to leave. As he was about to exit the door, he casually flicked his right hand backward, and a hidden weapon spun rapidly, embedding itself into a large pillar beside Mo Lian with a *poof*, disappearing deep within. Mo Lian was greatly startled and couldn’t even see the appearance of the hidden weapon clearly. Just as she was about to get angry, Mu Tianhan’s aged and majestic voice suddenly echoed from outside, “Miss Mo, listen carefully. I will definitely find an opportunity to destroy General Fei Bufan’s Demonic beast training camp, and I will also help the Emperor eliminate this tumor, Fei Bufan. Just you wait.” As soon as the words fell, he was already ten miles away.
“This damned old man, I underestimated him,” Mo Lian cursed in her heart.
With no time to think, she immediately sent a message via carrier pigeon to Fei Bufan, who was far away in the primitive jungle, informing him that the special envoy sent by the Emperor was actually Mu Tianhan, and that Mu Tianhan had already uncovered the truth about him training demonic soldiers and divine beasts.
