Chapter 339: He Must Have Been Led astray by the Regent
"Cough... cough cough cough cough..." Xingyi wanted to say something, but he choked himself in excitement and his face turned red from coughing.
Li Mulan was confused, "What happened, Commander Xingyi?"
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him sideways, "Don't worry about him, leave it to me. I have a house, which is a little far from the main street. It's a little remote. But it's quiet, so it should be suitable."
"Remote?" Li Mulan's eyes lit up. "That must be suitable. Haha, remote is good, remote is good."
Chu Chenfeng smiled gently, "Are you looking for me for this?"
"Oh, no, it's me..." When Li Mulan was talking, she suddenly found that Huo Yuanruo and the others were staring at the two of them with wide eyes, and she felt a little speechless. She grabbed Chu Chenfeng's arm, and then glared at them fiercely, "Let's go out and talk."
Huo Yuanruo was unhappy and muttered, "What secrets does Junior Master have that I can't know? And you're telling others about it. Humph, you must have been led astray by that Regent."
The first person who hasn't left yet: ... I don't know who is leading whom astray...
Li Xiaoqi looked like a man who understood. "Oh, you don't understand. The master's sister and the regent are engaged and will be married soon. Naturally, they have a lot of secrets to share."
"That's right." Liu Feng smiled with a silly look on his face. His idol and his junior uncle, hehehe, the more he looked at them, the more happy they were.
Qingyu shook her head and laughed, but if you look closely, there seems to be a hint of sadness between her brows.
Li Mulan pulled Chu Chenfeng to the garden. It was almost dark, but fortunately there were many lanterns in the mansion, and the dim light added a unique flavor.
Li Mulan realized belatedly that she was still holding Chu Chenfeng's arm, so she let go and said, "Sorry."
Chu Chenfeng's face, which was slightly flushed just now, became more sober after being blown by the evening breeze. "There is no need to say these two words between you and me."
Li Mulan brushed the wind-blown hair away from her face uncomfortably, "I'm looking for you because of my uncle's matter."
"Is it... because of the Minister of Rites' Mansion?"
Li Mulan nodded, "I heard from my grandfather that you have been preparing to take action against them. Although he is my blood grandfather, he has long severed ties with my mother, so he has nothing to do with me. He also often indulges family members to bully my mother, and that old Dong... Well, I won't say much else. My uncle is a very good person and cannot be implicated by him. So I want my uncle to go back to Kyoto and find a way to sever ties with the Minister of Rites' Mansion."
"It's easy to get him back to Kyoto. He happens to be nearby recently. However, severing ties with his father is not good for his reputation. If your uncle wants to achieve something in the army in the future, this will still have an impact on him."
"So, he can't bring up the matter of severing ties with me. My cheap grandfather has to bring it up himself."
"Raise it yourself?" A hint of smile flashed across Chu Chenfeng's eyes. "Lan'er, what can you do?"
Li Mulan smiled slyly, "There are so many ways to do this, but you have to get my uncle back first."
"That's no problem. I'll arrange it today."
Li Mulan nodded. "By the way, I saw Tianyu seemed to be in a much better mood just now. Is there any news about Brother Mingqi?"
"Well, we have his trace, and Xing Er and the others are still confirming it."
Li Mulan sighed, "That's good, otherwise General Ye and Tianyu would be heartbroken."
"Ye Mingqi is good at martial arts and has a quick mind. It is difficult for ordinary people to control him."
"You seem to be very optimistic about him and are familiar with him?"
"Hehe, does it count as knowing each other well if we've been fighting since we were kids?"
Li Mulan's eyes lit up, "You still know how to fight with others?"
Chu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, "I don't look like I can fight?"
"Well, no."
On the way back to Kyoto from Mobei, he followed as Uncle Chu, and Li Mulan had seen his skills. However, in Kyoto, he seemed to have never used force.
"It's just hard to imagine what it's like for you to fight with Brother Mingqi."
"Hehe, we were young and competitive back then. So we would fight if we disagreed, and we would always fight to see who was better, otherwise we would not stop."
Li Mulan's eyes were full of curiosity. "Who won more?"
"What do you think, Lan'er?"
"Then it must be you. Hey, Chu Chenfeng, they all say that you are good at martial arts. Can we practice with you someday?"
Chu Chenfeng was stunned, "We?"
"Yes, we are. What? Do you look down on me?" Li Mulan's eyes were full of warnings.
Chu Chenfeng suddenly found it funny, "Of course not, Lan'er is very skilled. Especially in close combat, her moves are very strange. And if I don't use my internal force, I can't say I can definitely win."
"Of course."
Li Mulan's proud expression was adorable. The training she had done in her previous life was not in vain. Their combat team was the strongest, and each of them was selected from thousands of people. She was the captain, but she didn't get in through the back door. She had done it with real guns and real bullets. Although she was a little weak in the first two years after coming to this world, she didn't stop training afterwards. Her skills now would only be stronger than in her previous life.
"Haha, then find an opportunity."
"Okay. By the way," Li Mulan suddenly became serious, "You and my eighth senior brother are cousins. Why didn't you tell me?"
Chu Chenfeng was stunned, then paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "This matter..."
Li Mulan looked at his reaction and guessed that he might be hiding something. Was she asking too directly? "Well, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. I'm just asking casually."
"It doesn't matter. I didn't mention it before because I thought there was no need to mention it. Besides, back then... my mother had some conflicts with the Queen of Southern Xinjiang. The Queen of Southern Xinjiang didn't want my mother to marry my father, so... in fact, few people know my mother's identity. It has always been rumored that my mother's status is low and she came from the underworld. My father and mother didn't go to refute the rumors back then, perhaps because they thought it was insignificant."
Li Mulan's eyes rolled. "Is it true that back then, your mother and your father fell in love, but the Queen of Southern Xinjiang disagreed. Then your mother left home for love and married your father?"
Chu Chenfeng frowned slightly, "Well... that's about it."
"Oh~ I didn't expect that your father and mother had such a story. Then your mother..." She was probably murdered by someone, right?
"My mother died of complications during her second childbirth. She was not murdered by anyone."
"Oh oh oh..." Li Mulan looked a little embarrassed. Why was the plot different from what she expected?
Chu Chenfeng laughed softly and flicked Li Mulan's forehead. "What are you thinking about?"
Li Mulan rubbed her forehead uncomfortably, "I didn't think about anything."
"Ah! Master!"
Xingyi and Xuanming were watching the two of them from a distance and seemed to have been waiting for a while.
Xuanming had a blank expression on his face, just standing there with his arms folded across his chest, giving people a sense of pressure for no reason.
