Chapter 1707: His Promise

l!"...Yun Yi actually heard a hint of doting from Mo Junyi's tone ...However, thinking that they were all very young, Yun Yi didn't think much of it.Mo Junyi went straight to Xiao Ba's camp. She and...After An Xuetang entered and scanned the room, she didn't see Han Yun's figure. Her brow furrowed, "Where is your master"

She could now make out the situation in the room, but she still didn't know who the two men bound were.

For her now, the only thing that mattered was Han Yun's whereabouts.

I rushed all the way here, just to see Han Yun and hear with my own ears what clues he's found these past few days

She only cared about finding Mo Yunjing as quickly as possible. She didn't care at all about the feud between the two brothers who were tied up and Qingyun Pavilion.

After she voiced her question, an eerie silence descended upon the room. The members of Qingyun Pavilion all stared at each other in bewilderment.

They had previously imprisoned the two brothers and returned them to the small thatched cottage, without further inquiry about their master's whereabouts.

So, I couldn't help but look at my brothers as they entered with the Northern Border Princess and Young Master Feng, and asked in confusion:

"Before we brought these two brothers back, wasn't the Head of the Manor with you all Where did the Head of the Manor go Shouldn't you know better than us"

Upon hearing this question, the few brothers blinked and shook their heads, their eyes filled with confusion.

After the host told them to return to town and prepare to welcome the Princess of Beijiang and Young Master Feng, they obeyed and left.

Where did the master go after that

They also thought that, after they left, the lord would come to this thatched hut and meet with the brothers in front of them.

So they, after receiving the North Border Princess and Young Master Feng, directly led the two to this thatched hut.

They truly believed the master was waiting here for them.

But who knows, at this very moment, none of them know where their master has gone.

Feng Ming heard their words, her brow furrowed slightly. She turned to look at An Xuetang beside her and saw a hint of panic beginning to show on her face.

He reached out and grabbed her arm, then turned to look at the few men from Qingyun Pavilion, his voice cold. "First, tell us why you're here"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two brothers, Da Mao and Xiao Mao, who were tied up beside him. "What's the story with these two"

Now everyone is urgently searching for Mo Yunjing's whereabouts. He believes that the people from Qingyun Pavilion know right from wrong, and at this time, even if they are provoked, they will not let these things hinder the process of finding Mo Yunjing.

So, the fact that they would go to such lengths at this crucial juncture suggests a strong link between their actions and Mo Yunjing's disappearance.

The people of Qingyun Pavilion had originally intended for their pavilion master to personally explain, but now that the Northern Border Princess and Young Master Feng have arrived.

But their master vanished without a trace, and everyone was clueless as to where he had gone.

So, after only a moment's thought, Qingyun Pavilion's subordinates began to explain in detail all the clues they had found over these days, as well as the connections between the two brothers Da Mao and Xiao Mao and Mo Yunjing.

Upon learning that the two men who were bound were actually the benefactors who had saved Mo Yunjing, they were the ones who had carried Mo Yunjing back from the foot of that mountain.

A look of surprise flashed across An Xuetang's face. She immediately rushed to the two people, squatting down without a word.

A pair of expectant eyes stared at the two, "Tell me, what did King Beijiang say to you before he left"

The two brothers, Damao and Xia Mao, were not fools. After hearing what these people said, they quickly guessed that the person they had saved was none other than the renowned War God, Beijang Wang.

Da Mao finally understood why that person dared to promise him a life of wealth and honor, and why he dared to promise to take him and his brother away from Xi Liang Country, allowing them to survive in another country.

It turned out that the man was none other than the undefeated King of Beijiang.

At this moment, Da Mao's inner tension and fear instantly dissipated.

For so many years, he has greatly idolized the War God, King Beijang, because this village borders Beijang City and is extremely close to it.

They sometimes peek into the city of Beijang, gazing enviously at the people protected by its walls. They envy them for their peaceful and prosperous lives.

They also wish to become citizens of Beijang City openly and receive the protection of the King of Beijang.

It's a shame that the Xi Liang Kingdom has always been harsh on men, even forbidding them from leaving the country almost entirely. They did want to go to Bei Jiang City, but without a travel permit and clearance documents, they couldn't possibly get there.

Xi Liang Guo was a country that revered women, and men living there were practically like dust.

And because there were many women in Xiliang, men, whether they wanted to or not, would be conscripted into the army as long as they were physically fit.

In previous years, it was alright as there were no wars, they could still live a few more peaceful years.

All this year, one has been unsure what the Empress is planning, enlisting troops everywhere.

Logically, men past the age of forty wouldn't be required to serve in the military. However, this past year, regardless of age—be it over forty or even well into one's fifties—any man with healthy limbs and the strength to fight would be conscripted.

He and his younger brother often hid in the hills behind their house because they lived in such a remote mountain village. So, time and time again, they escaped the imperial soldiers during the conscription drives.

How long is this going to go on

So he dreamed of leaving Xi Liang country and going to a slightly more normal place to live his life.

He was tired of living in hiding, under the woman’s feet.

It's bad enough that she had him under her feet, but to make matters worse, the two brothers had no parents and were looked down upon by the villagers who often bullied them.

They were simply fed up with their lives, so when they heard the man at the foot of the mountain promise them a life of wealth and luxury, although they knew bringing him back might cause them great trouble.

But blinded by greed, the two brothers eventually saved the man.

For the past two days, they had no idea who these people were who came looking for that man. They regretted in their hearts having saved that man in the first place, as it had led them into this predicament.

Now that they had heard the truth from him, the moment of fear that had gripped the two brothers vanished completely.

Because they believed that someone like the King of Beijang was so upright and cared for his people, they instinctively felt that those around him, including the strange-looking "old woman" called the "Queen," wouldn't be malicious.

Since they saved King Beijang's life, this group of people probably won't harm them.

Thinking this, the two brothers, Da Mao and Xiao Mao, looked at each other excitedly. Facing An Xuetang's inquiry, Da Mao stood straight, raised his head, and his voice couldn't hide his excitement:

"Reporting back to Your Highness, before leaving for the Northern Frontier, King Bei Jiang only told my brothers and me to stay home safely. He said that his people would fulfill their promises to us." experiencing now, isn't what they are going through right now just the same thing she went through that yearThat means they're actually already under the influence of that hallucinogenic drug.Feng Mi...
