[World 5] Chapter 128

　　Murong Heng waved his hand, "What's there to worry about? I'll bring my shadow guards with me, and no one can touch me. If there is real danger, even if you are there, it will be useless."

　　Murong Heng's martial arts skills are much stronger than Murong Yan's. If Murong Heng gets into trouble, Murong Yan can't help and would be a burden.

　　Murong Yan looked embarrassed and thought for a moment, "I'd better go with my brother."

　　Murong Heng smiled and said, "Okay, why didn't you just say you wanted to go earlier? Why are you so shy? Are you afraid that your princess will know?"

　　Murong Yan's expression changed slightly, "How is that possible?"

　　Murong Heng said, "I heard that you favor your concubine and are very cold to the princess. Don't forget that she is Jiang Yongwei's only daughter. You should be more restrained in your actions and not go too far."

　　Murong Yan was a little surprised. Murong Heng was warning him.

　　He immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I understand."

　　"If you understand. Let's go. It's getting late." In order to go out early, Murong Heng spent the whole afternoon reviewing memorials without any rest. He was thinking about his soulmate in Xunhuanju.

　　The two went to Xunhuanju again. Today, Xunhuanju was already crowded with people, and there were more people queuing outside the door than yesterday.

　　Yesterday, Miss Xunhuan's stunning work was widely circulated, and almost the entire capital knew that there was a god-like figure in Xunhuan House.

　　Everyone wants to be the first to see the true face of Miss Xunhuan. It is said that Miss Xunhuan said that she will only unveil her veil when she meets the true destined person.

　　However, it is not clear what conditions this destined person must meet.

　　Everyone was talking about this.

　　Li Zaoji frowned as he held the information brought to him by his men.

　　His spies were all over the capital, but they couldn't find out who this courtesan nor could they find out who owned this Xunhuanju.

　　All they know is that a very tall woman bought the restaurant that was previously transferred, and now it has been changed into the current Xunhuanju.

　　"Sir, who exactly is this courtesan? Who is the destined person she is looking for?"

　　Li Zaoji smiled faintly and said, "Who? An interesting person."

　　He stood up and walked out.

　　"Sir, where are you going?"

　　"Go to Xunhuanju, maybe I'm the destined one."

　　Jiang Mu hadn't gone out yet. She stayed at Xunhuan's house last night and just returned to the palace this morning. No one cared about her. Murong Yan had never been interested in her whereabouts. When he heard that she had returned to the general's mansion, he didn't say anything, as if he didn't care at all.

　　Huanruo cared more about it than he did and even sent someone over to show some concern, but was retorted by Chuntao in a sarcastic tone.

　　When it was getting dark, Jiang Mu returned to her room early and said that she was tired and wanted to rest. She asked others not to disturb her. Then she asked Xue Teng to take her out of the house and went to Xunhuanju again.

　　This time time was a bit tight, and Jiang Mu didn't have time to put on makeup and dress up on the road, so she could only rely on the veil to cover herself.

　　When she entered Xunhuanju through the back door and went upstairs, she saw that Gu Jue was already in the house.

　　Gu Jue waited for her for a long time but she didn't show up. He thought she was not coming. After seeing her, he immediately reported yesterday's sales to her.

　　After these few days, Jiang Mu discovered that Gu Jue was actually a talented businessman.

　　He is very good at math and can quickly calculate the total amount of money he earned yesterday by just looking at the account book.

　　Moreover, many of the ideas for Xunhuanju were proposed by him, and after being implemented, the results were indeed very good.

　　When Gu Jue heard yesterday that someone from Prince Cheng's Mansion came to invite Jiang Mu, he looked very unhappy. Jiang Mu even tested him a few times, and it turned out that he still cared about her.

　　However, the person who came later was Murong Heng. When he saw Murong Heng, his expression changed immediately. After Murong Heng left, he hesitated for a long time and finally told Jiang Mu that the person just now was the current emperor.

　　Jiang Mu pretended to be surprised and asked him many questions about Murong Heng.

　　Gu Jue had some understanding of Murong Heng. After all, his father had been the prime minister and had served in the court for many years. As the prime minister, serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, so naturally he had to know more about Murong Heng. He would also tell Gu Jue these things at home. Although Gu Jue was only a small official at the time, his father had high hopes for him.

　　So he knew as much about Murong Heng as his father knew.

　　When Jiang Mu asked, Gu Jue did not hide anything and told Jiang Mu everything.

　　These things are quite useful to Jiang Mu.

　　So when Murong Heng came again tonight and Jiang Mu talked to him about their mutual preferences, Murong Heng was surprised to find that many of the things Jiang Mu liked overlapped with his. However, Jiang Mu was not stupid. In order to prevent Murong Yan from being suspicious, she deliberately held opposite opinions from Murong Yan on several issues, and the two even had a heated debate.

　　As a result, Murong Heng not only did not doubt Jiang Mu, but he looked up to her even more.

　　This woman is indeed different from the ordinary vulgar women. She is not the kind of woman who follows the crowd and easily gives in. She not only has her own unique insights, but is also a remarkable woman with thoughts and content who is unwilling to be a vassal.

　　When he was with her, he seemed to have endless things to say, and he was in an especially happy mood, with all his worries forgotten.

　　When Jiang Mu and Murong Heng were talking, Murong Yan was beside them.

　　If Murong Heng was right, as he said, if he got to know her a little better, he would find that this woman was so special and full of attraction.

　　Her eyes seemed ruthless, but they concealed a deep sadness. Many men were not as knowledgeable as her on many things.

　　When you get along with her, you can feel her unique temperament, melancholy and cold, as if she has a lot of thoughts hidden, which makes people curious about her, and the music she plays and sings always contains strong emotions.

　　Moreover, Murong Yan always felt that every time her eyes fell on him, his expression became very complicated.

　　He didn't know if it was because of last night's dream, but he always felt that she was familiar.

　　Her figure and face shape are very familiar.

　　Thinking of last night's dream, Murong Yan's heart beat faster.

　　When he saw Murong Heng taking the initiative to get close to her, Murong Yan had a strange feeling in his heart.

　　Anyway, not very happy.

　　But he couldn't stop it.

　　Jiang Mu half leaned in Murong Heng's arms. Murong Heng held her hand and guided her to talk about the song he had just composed.

　　Jiang Mu looked at Murong Yan indifferently, her eyes were gentle, and contained a hint of emotion that Murong Yan could not see through. Murong Yan looked at her in a daze, as if he was sucked into her eyes.

　　When he came back to his senses, he was shocked. When he looked at Jiang Mu again, Jiang Mu was playing the pipa seriously with her head down, as if she had never even looked at him.
