Chapter 343 At least in name (second update)
Gu Ming said, "I checked before I left, Bai Ze was not in the Mu Mansion."
Mu Nanjin was puzzled: "Not in the mansion? Where did he go?"
Gu Ming's eyes moved slightly. He didn't want her to pay too much attention to the child, so he lied to her and said, "He went to the princess's mansion."
"Really?" Mu Nanjin didn't quite believe that Bai Ze would go to find the princess, but the princess would pick him up to play.
"Where are the other four children?"
Gu Ming's expression faded: "I don't know."
"I don't know? Aren't they with Bai Ze? Did you see them when you went to Mu's house?"
"I don't know."
Mu Nanjin saw his cold expression and asked: "Did they make you unhappy?"
"No." Gu Ming said indifferently: "I just think they are not my children, and I don't need to spend too much energy on them."
Mu Nanjin was speechless: "Bai Ze is not your child either."
"At least in name."
Mu Nanjin: "..."
Gu Ming picked up a piece of almond sponge cake and put it to her mouth: "Eat the cake quickly, and after you finish the cake, I will take you on a mission."
Mu Nanjin put the matter of the children behind her: "What mission?"
"The Jinyiwei found out that the former royal family of David Kingdom was fleeing to Jiuguang Kingdom, so the emperor sent us to capture them."
Mu Nanjin was not interested: "No."
[Such a tiring job is not suitable for me. ]
[I am more suitable to stay in the Duwei Mansion and take time to watch TV series, hehe. ]
Gu Ming had expected her to answer him like this.
He was not in a hurry. After he had almost finished feeding Mu Nanjin, a Jinyiwei rushed in and said, "Commander-in-chief, we just received news that the royal family of David is now hiding outside the border of Jiuyue. They don't have a pass token and they dare not enter the border with too much property. Otherwise, a large amount of gold and silver treasures will be robbed by the soldiers of Jiuguang."
[A large amount of gold and silver treasures? ]
Mu Nanjin pricked up his ears.
[How much gold and silver treasures are this large amount? ]
[If you don't tell me the actual number, I'll be anxious to death. ]
[Oh, why do I get stupid when I hear about treasures? Why did I forget that I can check the situation of the royal family of David through gossip news. ]
[Let me see...]
[Wow wow wow - 200,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, and countless jewelry. I'm going to make it. ]
[The food for Taotie for a year is settled. ]
[I'll go and rob them now. 】
Mu Nanjin stood up subconsciously.
Gu Ming was puzzled: "You don't want to eat?"
"I have something to do, so I don't want to eat."
Gu Ming looked regretful: "I thought you had a big appetite, so I brought all kinds of roasted meats such as roasted whole pig, roasted whole lamb, roasted whole cow, etc. roasted by Liang Qianhu himself. I didn't expect you to be full so quickly. Since you don't want to eat, I have to save it for the road."
"Liang Qianhu?" Mu Nanjin immediately remembered who it was: "Are you talking about the former Liang Baihu?"
Liang Baihu's barbecue skills are indeed unique, and it is unforgettable after eating it, otherwise she would not remember Liang Baihu.
"Yes, he has been promoted to Qianhu now. In order to grill meat for you, he didn't have a good rest for more than half a month."
Mu Nanjin sat back in his original position: "Then why don't you take out the barbecue."
"I have decided to eat it on the road."
Gu Ming didn't say much, and led the Jinyiwei who reported the matter out of the backyard.
【Eh...】
【Didn't you say that this was the barbecue for me? Why did you take it away? 】
[Uh, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the governor wants me to go with him? What does he want to do? 】
[Actually, it doesn't matter if I go with him. Someone will steal the silver for me anyway. 】
She followed Gu Ming to the lobby. While Gu Ming was explaining things to Liu Qianhu and others, she used voice transmission to say to Wu Yuan: "Wu Yuan, do me a favor." 】
Wu Yuan was stunned and asked quickly: "What do you want me to do, young lady?" 】
[Help me steal the silver. 】Mu Nanjin told Wu Yuan that the royal family of David State had brought a lot of gold and silver treasures: "You must take away all the gold and silver treasures before the Jinyiwei arrives." 】
[Yes. 】
As soon as Wu Yuan responded to this, he heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice.
[Send Wu Yuan to take action, and the gold and silver treasures of the royal family of David State will be easily captured, hehe. 】
Wu Yuan held his forehead.
It would be fine if Liu Qianhu heard this, but the governor was also there, so it was really difficult to explain.
So should he steal all the property?
Gu Ming glanced at Wu Yuan, but did not say anything to stop him, and Wu Yuan quietly felt relieved.
Mu Nanjin was worried and said, "This matter must be kept secret, and no one must find out that you did it."
Wu Yuan replied weakly, "Yes."
He has not even set out yet and it has been discovered that he did it.
Mu Nanjin said to Gu Ming, "Commander, I changed my mind. I want to go on a mission with you. Li Zhenfushi, wait until we come back, and you can start the martial arts competition."
Gu Ming smiled with a 'successful plan' in his eyes, and nodded, "Okay."
Li Zhenfushi also said okay.
Then, Shu Xiyao jumped out, "I'll go too."
Gu Ming's face suddenly darkened, "You stay in Wucheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Dianchui, who had not appeared in front of people for several days, said, "I want to go too."
Gu Ming was even less likely to let this 'night pearl' that could blind people follow him.
"The five cities need someone to guard them. If you all leave, Captain Liu and his men won't be able to guard the five cities." Captain Liu nodded: "The governor is right."
Gu Ming added: "If you can defend the five cities well, I will promote you when you return."
Thunder Hammer agreed without even thinking: "Okay."
Shu Xiyao was reluctant: "I don't want to be promoted. I want to go with Xiao Nanjin. Xiao Nanjin, just let me go with you."
Everyone: "..."
[Little Xiyao’s coquettish behavior is really intolerable. Okay, I’ve decided, I’m going to take him there. 】
However, before she could say anything, Gu Ming was one step ahead of her and said to the thunder hammer using a sound transmission method: "Keep an eye on Shu Xiyao and don't let him follow. I will promote you to another half-level official." 〗
The thunder hammer directly grabbed Shu Xiyao's collar and said, "You stay and guard the five cities with me."
Shu Xiyao wanted to resist, but his voice was silenced by the thunder hammer, and his body was also immobilized.
He could only watch helplessly as Gu Ming left with Mu Nanjin.
"that……"
Wu Yuan said embarrassedly: "I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you."
Liu Qianhu said meaningfully: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Yuan coughed uncomfortably: "It's not hard."
"There are so many things, do you want us to help you carry them back?"
"No."
Wu Yuan was embarrassed to stay any longer and quickly used Qing Gong to leave.
Li Zhenfu asked: "Hasn't the governor already gone to capture the royal family of the Kingdom of Wei? Why does Mu Nanjin want Wu Yuan to go and get the property of the Kingdom of Wei?"
"The governor has to send the property to the treasury when he gets it, but once the property falls into Wu Yuan's hands, it becomes Mu Nanjin's personal property and does not need to be handed over."
Li Zhenfu envoy was startled: "Then what will the emperor say?"
"The emperor must have known about it. He will turn a blind eye to this matter."
Ambassador Li Zhen: "..."
Did the emperor and the governor indulge Mu Nanjin too much? (End of chapter)
