Chapter 577 Xuanying invites you
When Chu Xiaomu returned to the guesthouse in Phnom Penh, it was already dark. Jinglan and Xiaoying were waiting in their rooms.
Xiaoying looked out the window from time to time, and seemed to be getting impatient. When she saw Chu Xiaomu appear, she shouted, "Damn wood! Where the hell have you been?!"
Chu Xiaomu didn't answer, but went straight upstairs and into the room.
Seeing his grim expression, Jinglan asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaomu, could it be that Jin Lier didn't agree to let You Ganzhan go?"
Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "That's not the case."
The two girls asked in unison: "What is that?"
Chu Xiaomu frowned and said, "The evil spirit from Chisha Country has entered Jinyang City, and Jin Lier was stabbed by the evil spirit."
Jinglan asked, "Is she seriously injured?"
Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "I was far away and didn't see the specific situation, but I think it's very serious." Jin Lier was just an ordinary person, and the one who stabbed him was an evil spirit that was one or two thousand years old. It was a blessing that Jin Lier didn't die for the time being, and his injuries could not be just minor.
Xiaoying said, "What does this have to do with us returning to Bicheng?"
Jinglan also looked at him with a questioning look.
Chu Xiaomu said: "The evil spirit entered Jinyang City, and Jin Li'er was suddenly assassinated. Maybe there are people from Jinyang City behind this. Otherwise, no matter how powerful they are, it would be difficult for them to pass through Jieyun Pass, Shikong Bridge and the city gate without being discovered. If I help them find the person behind it, it will be considered that I have done my part in taking more than a month's salary from Jinyang City. In addition, the Seven Cities Conference, which is rare in a century, will be held here in a few days. It is difficult to determine what the final result will be. I want to stay here and see. Maybe I can help and promote the Seven Cities Alliance. This is a big event among big events."
In fact, there was another reason he didn't dare to say, that is, Jin Li'er had always taken good care of him, Lin Jinwei, and now that she was injured, no matter how serious it was, he shouldn't leave at this time. If ordinary doctors couldn't treat her well, maybe he could use his wood-phase spiritual power to save her life.
Jinglan said calmly: "Brother Xiaomu, don't forget that you are the central army of Bicheng Nanding Army. Bicheng should be the first priority in everything."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "Of course I won't forget this. But now the general and Li Zhongjun have the natural barrier of Kun River to defend. The Chisha Kingdom should not be able to attack within a year. Jinyang City has become the most dangerous place..."
Jinglan interrupted him and asked, "How do you know that Chisha Kingdom can't conquer the west bank of Kun River within a year?"
Chu Xiaomu was stunned and thought that he had also heard Jin Lier say this and just said it casually at this time. He didn't expect Jinglan to hear even this small loophole.
But what exactly does Miss Jinglan want to say? Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but wonder.
Jinglan suddenly sighed and said, "Before I came to Jinyang City, I asked for leave from my master and promised him that I would return to Shisantai in a month at most. Now a month has passed. And I don't know how the general's injury has recovered. What if the news of his serious injury spreads to the other side of the Kun River..."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but groan and said, "How about...how about...we leave early tomorrow morning?"
Jinglan shook her head and said, "There is no rush in the next one or two days. The Seven Cities Conference is a grand event that the people of Cangmu rarely see in a hundred years. I also want to see it. I think Master will not blame me."
When Xiaoying heard that the three of them would not be returning to Bicheng for the time being, she was even more delighted. She hugged Jinglan's hand and said, "Sister Jinglan, I will take you to a very interesting place tomorrow. There are a lot of delicious food and fun things there!"
Jinglan smiled and said, "Didn't your brother Xiaomu just say that evil spirits have entered Jinyang City? Be careful or they may capture you."
"Call that stinky wood too. Isn't he very capable?"
"He is the Grand Commandant of Jinyang City, a very busy man. How can he have time to accompany us?"
"I don't care. If he doesn't accompany us, I will pull his ears off." After saying that, he pretended to pull Chu Xiaomu's ears.
Chu Xiaomu quickly dodged and said with a smile: "Don't always vent your anger on me. Can't I just go out and play with you guys?" He thought that he had been in Jinyang City for more than a month. Except for the first day when he took Xiaoying to the streets to ask General Xuan where he lived, he rarely went out to play with her. She ran to Tianhui Garden of Huang Wu Baoguan every day, and that was one of the reasons why he ignored her.
What if Xiaoying was really kidnapped by the Emperor's treasure officer?! Thinking of this, he decided to accompany the two girls to stroll along the streets of Jinyang City tomorrow and ask about Jin Lier's news.
The next morning, the three of them got up early. After washing up, Xiaoying pulled Jinglan to find Chu Xiaomu and said that they would not have breakfast in the guest house, but would take them to the street to eat something they had never eaten before.
The three were about to leave when they saw Sisi rushing over. They hadn't seen Sisi for a few days and were even happier to see her.
But Sisi came to find Chu Xiaomu and told him that Xuanying had something to discuss with him.
Xiaoying immediately became unhappy and said, "Not today. Stinky Wood promised to go to the street to play with me and Sister Jinglan!"
Sisi looked embarrassed and said, "But Xuanying said this matter is very important and asked me to invite Brother Xiaomu over."
Jinglan asked, "Sister Sisi, what exactly did General Xuan want to talk to him about?"
Sisi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. If Xuanying doesn't tell me, I won't ask him." Jinglan didn't know what to ask.
Chu Xiaomu was in a dilemma. On one side was his beloved, and on the other side was his good brother and the Major General of Jinyang City, who was also the commander who controlled him. In fact, he was not very interested in pastimes such as strolling on the street. Xuanying was looking for him for something important, so he naturally preferred to go to Xuanying. And Xuanying must have reliable information about Jin Lier's injury, so it was a good opportunity to ask him.
Xiaoying's face turned serious and she said, "Stinky wood, do you think your words count?!"
Chu Xiaomu looked helpless, not knowing what to do.
Jinglan saw Chu Xiaomu's dilemma, so she went over to comfort Xiaoying, saying that your brother Xiaomu is the Jinwei of Jinyang City, and he has a lot of important things to do. Many of his things are related to millions of ordinary people, so he can't go out to play whenever he wants and go wherever he wants.
Although Xiaoying is playful, she is not an unreasonable person. After Jinglan's consolation, her anger was thrown out of her mind. She took Sisi's hand and said, "Sister Sisi, if Choumu doesn't want to accompany us, then you should go!"
Sisi readily agreed.
