Chapter 1171: Chapter 1177: Return to the Palace (2)
“So, going by that, she indeed seems very suspicious, but who exactly is she?”
The Liaodan national teacher, Lei Da, who had been standing at Saknu’s side, pondered for a long ti before speaking out, “Great Khan, Lei Da has also heard of the deeds of the Empress of Great Jin. It is said that even though Tuoba Kui laid nurous traps in the King’s tent, he failed to kill her. Not only does she possess a battle-savvy Long-browed Monkey and a ferocious white Giant Tiger, she also has a Parrot. That tiny Parrot can incredibly carry her in flight, which shows that she is no ordinary woman.”
A Guard at the side joined in, “Yes, Great Khan, the Guards who were sent by housekeeper Daru to track her are still missing without a trace. They may already have been eaten by her!”
At this mont, Nangong Shi and Jin Zhong were also standing to one side. Ever since Saknu’s ng slaves returned to Liaodan, they had been summoned back.
Upon hearing that Cai Wei had a Parrot, Nangong Shi imdiately rembered the incident of a Parrot invading his mother’s Sleeping Hall before she beca ill. It seed that none of this was a coincidence—perhaps the death of his mother was Mu Caiwei’s doing!
Thinking this, his eyes filled with intense hatred. This Slut, not content with having helped Nangong Yi plot to snatch the country from him, had also killed his mother. He would certainly not let her go!
He glanced at Saknu and intentionally provoked him, “Hehe, no wonder Nangong Yi, disregarding Mu Caiwei’s lowly status, insisted on marrying her. It turns out Mu Caiwei is indeed so gifted. However, Nangong Yi’s ambition is boundless; he will not settle for simply being a ruler of an accomplished realm. In the future, he will surely use Mu Caiwei’s abilities to unite the entire World!”
Saknu too harbored ambitions to unify the World, and since Cai Wei was extraordinarily talented—not to ntion the woman he fancied—how wonderful it would be if she could assist him!
“Damn, that pretty boy Nangong Yi has got all the luck!”
He clenched his Fist tightly and smashed it hard against the Purple Sandalwood inlaid with gold file in front of him, shattering it imdiately into pieces.
Jin Zhong and Nangong Shi exchanged glances, then said, “Great Khan, although Mu Caiwei is sowhat skilled, I have heard that Queen Jiya of Xianbei excels in the Soul-catching spell. Why not join forces with the Xianbei Empire, seize the initiative by capturing Mu Caiwei’s Soul first, then march your troops southward, and force Nangong Yi to hand over Mu Caiwei’s body? By then, wouldn’t Mu Caiwei be yours?”
Saknu was very intrigued by Jin Zhong’s suggestion. Obtaining Mu Caiwei was his greatest desire at the mont because of her, he had now lost interest in other won, living like a Monk, abstaining for months. If he could truly obtain her through the thod Jin Zhong ntioned and, in the process, snatch the country of Great Jin and kill Nangong Yi, the very thought delighted him.
However, he remained skeptical about the Queen of Xianbei, Jiya, having the ability to perform Soul-catching spells. The fact that Queen Jiya could use Descending Head Spells and Soul-catching spells was sothing he did not know—how did Jin Zhong co to know about it?
Sensing Saknu’s probing intention, Jin Zhong explained, “I have heard from my Master, Chief Shen Gongdao, who once told that my Grandmaster Tianjizi had traveled to Xianbei to study Descending Head Spells, learning from the father of Queen Jiya. Therefore, I know a little about the past secrets of Xianbei!”
Saknu did not completely believe Jin Zhong’s explanation and turned towards Liaodan’s Great National Teacher, Lei Da, questioning, “Has the National Teacher ever heard of this? Is this true?”
Lei Da honestly replied, “Queen Jiya of Xianbei keeps a low profile, and I have not heard of her practicing any Descending Head Spells. However, I have heard that when the King of Xianbei was still a prince, he defied all opposition and insisted on marrying the Queen of Xianbei who was twenty years his senior. It seems to be closely related to the abilities of the Queen of Xianbei!”
