Chapter 228 Everything is fate
Letting everyone go to the military camp first, Yao Jia went to the tent by the stream alone with the imperial edict.
Ye Sinan had already packed his luggage and was standing in front of the tent waiting for Yao Jia to come back.
Seeing Yao Jia walking towards him with her head down and a lack of interest from afar, Ye Sinan went to meet her.
"Yao Yao, what's wrong?"
Yao Jia sighed and handed him the imperial edict, "Read it for yourself."
Ye Sinan took the imperial edict, opened it and his eyes flashed slightly.
Emperor, what does this mean?
They had already sent an envoy from the Taishi Bureau to Xinyue City for negotiations, but they still wanted to send Yaoyao there. Did they want Yaoyao to contain the Taishi Bureau?
Or do you want to test Yaoyao's abilities?
No matter which possibility it is, it is a bit weird.
Seeing Ye Sinan's serious expression, Yao Jia raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking about? You look so serious."
Ye Sinan held her hand and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, I just wonder what the emperor's purpose is in doing this."
Yao Jia shrugged, "Who cares what he means? We are just negotiating with Liang. Liang has been eyeing Daxia covetously over the years, so your majesty naturally doesn't want them to take advantage of Daxia."
Ye Sinan nodded slightly after hearing this, "That's true, but how did the emperor know you were here? Did someone in the army leak it?"
Yao Jia shook her head. "Even if they did, the time wouldn't match. The team transporting food and fodder set out at the same time as the diplomatic mission. The journey alone would take one or two months. We've only been here for half a month."
"Then why would the emperor..."
"It's Mr. Nanshan. I really underestimated this man. With such extraordinary abilities, no wonder His Majesty entrusted him with such an important task. I'm afraid the days of Tianxing Pavilion will be difficult in the future."
Yao Jia stroked his chin and muttered to himself: I have to establish a good relationship with Mr. Nanshan, and it would be best if I could learn from him.
Judging from his white hair, he should be quite old. Even if her ability is not as great as Nanshan's, at least she has lived longer than him, and she can outlast him.
He took Ye Sinan's hand and said, "Let's go to the military camp and have a drink."
Ye Sinan refused. "As a person from the underworld, it is better for me not to deal with you officials. What if I hear something I shouldn't hear and someone comes to me to buy information? Do you think I should sell it or not? What if I get drunk too and no one takes care of you when you come back?"
After careful consideration, Yao Jia felt that what he said made sense. Ye Sinan really should not have too much contact with those people.
……
Qu Mu and others have prepared the banquet and are just waiting for Yao Jia to come back.
Seeing Yao Jia coming back alone, Gu Xiyan asked, "Where's Brother Nan?"
Yao Jia sat down in her seat, poured herself a glass of wine, and then spoke, "He has just recovered from his injury, so he shouldn't drink."
Gu Xiyan nodded and said nothing more.
Yao Jia looked around but didn't find the white figure, and instantly frowned.
"Where is Mr. Nanshan?"
Xiao Fengyi smiled and said, "Sir, you are feeling a little unwell after the long journey. You have returned to your tent to rest."
Yao Jia's frown immediately relaxed. With such poor health, he must be quite old.
Xiao Fengyi raised his glass towards Yao Jia, "We will have to rely on you when we go to Xinyue City for the negotiations this time."
Yao Jia picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his, "Your Highness is too polite. I will do my best."
The army was full of strong liquor. Yao Jia drank it in one gulp, and her little face instantly wrinkled.
Seeing this, Xiao Fengyi chuckled and said, "But you're not used to drinking it?"
Yao Jia nodded, "It's a bit spicy in the throat."
Xiao Fengyi raised his hand and called over the eunuch beside him, "Go and fetch me the jar of pear blossom white."
Yao Jia hurriedly stopped him, "No need to be so troublesome."
She didn't want to drink in the first place. She had to go to Crescent City tomorrow. If she got drunk, it would delay her trip.
Xiao Fengyi looked at her with gentle eyes, "Lihuabai tastes sweet, just like fruit wine. You are taking office today, so you must get drunk with us."
Soon, the eunuch came over with a jar of wine and poured a full cup for Yao Jia.
Yao Jia picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Just as Xiao Fengyi said, it tasted sweet and refreshing without any spiciness.
He raised his glass to Xiao Fengyi, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Fengyi looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, "As long as you like it."
Gu Xiyan coldly watched the two of them drinking back and forth, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Qu Mu looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
He raised his glass to Xiao Fengyi, "Your Highness, have a few drinks with us old guys."
Xiao Fengyi raised his glass to Qu Mu. The two smiled at each other, then raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass.
By the stream.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Sinan prepared to fetch water for Yao Jia to take a bath, and carried the wooden bucket out of the tent.
A man in white stood by the stream not far away, with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance in a daze.
Ye Sinan followed his gaze.
In the distance, there are endless mountains and colorful forests. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, which is as beautiful as a painting.
In a daze, Ye Sinan felt that the man's back was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
He put down the barrel and asked directly, "Who is your Excellency?"
The man slowly turned around, revealing a smiling mask.
Ye Sinan: …………
"Are you Mr. Nanshan?"
"It seems that Palace Master Ye has investigated me."
Ye Sinan picked up the bucket again and corrected, "I'm not interested in you." He walked to the stream and started fetching water.
Nanshan nodded, followed him, sat on a big rock beside the stream, and said with interest: "That's the person who is interested in me. He bought my information from the Palace Master."
Ye Sinan: …………
That’s a pretty accurate guess.
Nanshan turned around and looked at him, "Palace Master Ye, do you know what the Heavenly Doctor's Spiritual Life is?"
Ye Sinan frowned and looked at him, "Hurry up and say what you want to say."
Nanshan chuckled and said, "People with the Heavenly Doctor in their destiny will have a strong physique and rarely get sick. After you two brothers are born, Pavilion Master Nangong will surely be even healthier."
Ye Sinan's dark eyes narrowed immediately, and he looked closely at the white-haired man on the rock.
Ever since Nanshan was brought back to Kyoto by the emperor, Lingyun Palace began to investigate this person. After half a year, they were unsuccessful, but this person knew their background clearly.
There was no warmth in his eyes and his hands clenched unconsciously, obviously he had murderous intentions towards Nanshan.
Nanshan stared at him calmly, and then said, "It's a pity that although her fate is temporarily stable, it can't last long."
Ye Sinan was stunned. Temporarily stable? Can't it last long?
That means Yaoyao will also bear the Nangong family's misfortune of short life.
The color drained out of his face in an instant, "Why is this happening?"
The fate that Master's wife had to sacrifice her life to break...
"You're lying to me!"
He stared at Nanshan coldly and didn't believe what he said at all.
Nanshan stood up from the boulder and walked towards him. "Why would I lie to you?"
Ye Sinan lowered his eyes, completely puzzled.
After a moment, he suddenly lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of Nanshan with a humble attitude.
"I wonder if there is... a way to break the imprisonment of Yaoyao's fate, even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate."
Yaoyao said that he had extraordinary powers and must have a way to save Yaoyao.
Nanshan stared at him deeply for a while, then raised his hand to help him up.
"Palace Master Ye, your words are serious. There is a way to crack it. It's just a matter of finding the destined person to combine with him."
"Where is the destiny of that person? I will start looking for him now."
Nanshan said: "This person has already been found by the former Nangong Pavilion Master. He is the 'Star General' who just arrived."
Ye Sinan was stunned. The ‘star general’ must be Gu Xiyan.
The look he gave Nanshan immediately became complicated. "Are you lobbying for Gu Xiyan?"
Nanshan sighed deeply and said calmly, "Palace Master Ye may not know that Pavilion Master Nangong has already returned the marriage certificate to General Gu."
Ye Sinan felt a surge of anger burning in his heart. He stared at Nanshan, trying to see the truth of his words from his eyes.
"It can't be true."
