Chapter 13

  Nangong Qi was a character who, due to a conspiracy, took Summer Hous place and fell into a deep sleep, becoming the white moonlight in Summer Hous heart, whom he missed for half his life. After waking up, she stirred up trouble, causing various misunderstandings and abuse between the male and female leads. But all of this has nothing to do with her now, because she is not Nangong Qi, but Tang Li. She doesnt want to care about these things, she just wants to know how her little male god is doing now.

  Her weak body and inability to see made it very difficult for her to gather information. Fortunately, due to this reason, even though she was different from the original Nangong Yu and had no memories of the past, no one suspected her. Tang Li used Nangong Yus body to ask about Xun Nu in a roundabout way, she couldnt directly ask Xun Nu, so she first asked Xia Hou Xuan.

  Everyone knows that Nangong Yu and Xiahou Xuan have been childhood sweethearts, with a marriage arrangement in place. Nangong Yu was once deeply devoted to Xiahou Xuan and even got hurt for him. The maids didnt suspect anything and told her about Xiahou Xuans situation in general terms.

  In their account, Xiahou Xuan fell into a coma five years ago for unknown reasons and woke up with unclear consciousness. Occasionally, he would behave like two people. Three years ago, there was a riot in the North City, where a lone person broke into the North City, killed the five confidants under Xiahou Xuans command, and seriously injured Xiahou Xuan himself during the battle. Therefore, for the past three years, Xiahou Xuan has been mostly recuperating from his injuries in seclusion.

  Tang Li inquired about various details and suddenly discovered that it had been five years since Xia Hou Xuan killed her. No wonder Nan Gong Xis body had awakened, but she didnt know why she would be reborn in Nan Gong Xis body again.

  "Who was it that severely injured Xiahou Xuan in the Northern City three years ago?" Tang Li asked with a premonition, her voice slightly tense.

  The maids were not very clear about the details, and only one of them hesitated: "It seems to be an assassin, called Xun or something."

  Tang Lis heart skipped a beat and then slowly calmed down. Great, she thought, Xun Nu isnt dead.

  "Do you know where Xun is now and if anything has happened to him?"

  The maids found it strange that she was asking this, and they all said: "We servants dont know, he seems to be a very formidable killer, but there is no news of him in the jianghu, we are in the city, and we are not clear about these things..."

  Tang Li felt disappointed, but she understood that she couldnt keep asking. As long as she lived well and got her eyes treated quickly, there would be opportunities to find Xun Nu. She had to find Xun Nu and tell him that she wasnt dead. If possible, they could return to Baima City together or go somewhere else, just like she had promised him before.

  Of course, before that, if possible, she wanted to find an opportunity to kill Xiahou Xuan. She must let this trash know not to offend women casually.

  Xiahou Xuan, who was in the northern city, had no idea that Bai Yue Guang had also changed its core. At this moment, he was panting painfully in a closed and secret room, with an intense headache, and a panel kept appearing and disappearing in front of him, very unstable.

  "Damn it!" Xiahou Xuan cursed in a fit of rage, raising his hand to smash the jade decorations around him. Suddenly, he stopped, closed his eyes and fainted. Not long after, the person who had fainted woke up again, sat up and looked at his own hands with a gloomy and puzzled expression, then gazed at the broken jade decorations around him.

  When were these jade utensils broken, he had no memory, and his mind seemed to be empty. In recent years, this situation has occurred frequently, Xia Hou Xuan also knew it clearly, but he never found a cure or the source, and he couldnt help feeling depressed.

  "The castle owner." Someone outside the secret room knocked on the bell, Xiahou Xuan got up and walked out, saw his subordinate look at him with fear in his eyes, and presented a letter, "This is a letter from the owner of the southern city."

  Xiahou Xuans eyes flashed, and he sat down in the main seat with the letter, carefully opening it to read. Halfway through, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately smiled: "Qiner has finally woken up, after all these years, shes finally awake."

  For Nan Gong Yu, because she had sacrificed herself to save him earlier, Xia Hou Xuan was deeply moved and every year would send a large quantity of precious medicinal materials to the South City to help her sustain her life.

  Upon reading the latter half of the letter, Xiahou Xuans smile was reined in. In the letter, Nangong Xian said that Qieer had lost her sight and needed a precious object called Mituo Sheng to cure her eyes. Mituo Sheng, Xiahou Xuan knew, was a treasured secret of the Yuwen family from the Eastern City, and Yuwen Jin would probably not be willing to hand it over easily.

  Nangong Xian is a sly old fox, no wonder he would write to him. It turns out that he couldnt handle Yuwen Jin himself and wanted to use his hand to get Mitosha. Not to mention how Nangong Xian was, for the sake of treating Nangong Qi, he naturally had to take action, after all, she is the woman he loves and will be his future wife.

  After a moment of contemplation, Xiahou Xuan ordered: "Bring me pen and ink." He wrote two letters, one to be sent to the South City for Nan Gongxian, stating that he would soon go to the South City to visit his fiancée, and the other to be sent to the East City for Yuwen Jin, asking him to send over Mi Tuo Sheng. Along with the letter was a generous gift.

  Courtesy before arms, if Yuwen Jin didnt know the courtesy, he wouldnt mind using force to intimidate. Xiahou Xuan remembered that Yuwen Jin and Xun were acquainted, seemingly still having a deep relationship, adding more malice in his heart, even starting to think about how to use this as an excuse to invade Dongcheng after Yuwen Jins refusal, even if they couldnt swallow Dongcheng whole, they had to teach them a lesson.

  Xun... Xiahou Xuans eyes lit up with murderous intent as soon as he thought of this name. Although his memories of this person were vague, and the time when his guards had chased him was unclear, he remembered the great battle three years ago. A man named Xun had charged into Beicheng, rampaged through the city, and even clashed with him in a fierce battle that left him humiliated. This made Xiahou Xuans hatred for this person both old and new; if given the chance, he would definitely kill him.

  Two letters were sent to two places by express horse, and the East City received the letter first. Yuwen Jin, holding the letter, let out a mournful cry again, "Forget about the South City, how come the North City is also coming to pressure me now! They wont join forces to deal with me, will they?! I think theyre pretending to want Mi Tuo Sheng, but actually wanting an excuse to deal with us East City!"

  Duan Ming: "Dont worry, although the East City has a useless city master like you, the business roads below are quite complex and intertwined. The South City wont make any rash moves, but the North City..." As he said this, Duan Ming looked towards the corridor below at the tall figure half-hidden by the wooden door and called out loudly: "Xun brother, what do you think the North City will do?"

  Yuwen Jin pinched the letter and looked at the screen door with a persons shadow. Compared to five years ago, Xun seemed more mature and resolute, with an added air of vicissitude that had been tempered by wind and frost. He stood there quietly looking at the blue sky outside, his tone neither sad nor happy, calm and waveless, "I will protect Yuwen Jin from harm."

  Duan Ming raised an eyebrow at Yuwen Jin, took the letter from his hand, and read it through before saying: "This Xiahou Xuan is indeed interesting. He wants to ask for your Mieduo Sheng, but his tone is so arrogant, even more impolite than Nangong Xian. However, he says its for Nangong Xians niece Nangong Qi to get the Mieduo Sheng. I didnt know until now that he had a marriage arrangement with that Nangong beauty."

  Yuwen Jin was curious and loved gossip, so he temporarily forgot about being forced and asked enthusiastically: "Ive heard that Nangong Xian had a daughter with his elder sister-in-law, known as the beauty of Nangong. But Nangong Xian kept it secret, and I havent seen her before. Ah-Rong, have you seen that Nangong beauty? Is she really as beautiful as they say?"

  Duan Ming sneered and opened his fan to fan himself twice, "I have indeed seen her, but all I can say is that the reputation doesnt match reality. That Southern Palace beauty, Nan Gong Qi, is beautiful, yes, but not as beautiful as rumored, and shes a woman with a heart full of schemes at such a young age, with a heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion. Such a beauty, no matter how beautiful, I wouldnt give a second glance to. But paired with Xia Hou Xuan, theyre a perfect match."

  "What a pity." Yuwen Jin shook his head, full of regret. "Its said that the Southern Palace beauty slept for several years and has finally woken up, needing Maitreya treatment for her eyes. I was thinking earlier that it would be a pity if the beauty went blind, and I was wavering, thinking that if all else failed, Id give half of the Maitreya. Now it seems, forget it."

  The two of them chatted and the topic turned to the various beauties in todays Jianghu, the atmosphere was fiery hot. The wooden door seemed like a partition, separating Xun from them into two worlds, one side full of spring warmth, the other side with wind, knife, and frost sword.

  Yuwen Jin said, suddenly discovering that Xun had disappeared outside the door at some point, and sighed: "Brother Xun is indeed a sentimental person, still remembering his wife now. If it were me, I wouldnt be able to do so. There are so many beautiful women in the world, each with their own unique charm, how can one give up appreciating other flowers for just one?"

  Duan Ming: "Hes the kind of person who has something on his mind, and its hard for him to be infatuated with beauty. Having a wife is already unthinkable, let alone being interested in various beauties like you."

  Yuwen Jin: "A life like Xuns is really lacking in many pleasures."

  He didnt leave, but stood on the rooftop, leaning against the eaves, gazing far into a certain direction. His thick palm stroked the coarse, black scabbard of his sword, silent and unspoken. Compared to before, he seemed even more inaccessible, if one were to say that the person who had met Tang Li in the past was taciturn, then now he was desolate, like the stillness of ashes.

  Nancheng also received a letter from Xiahou Xuan soon, and Nangong Xian took the letter to find Nangong Qi in the first time. "Xiahou came mainly to visit you, Qier, are you happy?"

  Tang Li was delighted, but she felt that her current situation was not suitable for meeting Xia Hou Xuan. If she couldnt control her murderous intentions and they were discovered, it would be disastrous. Moreover, she couldnt see right now, making it difficult to take action, so its better to avoid him for the time being.

  Tang Li lowered her head and said to Nan Gong Xian: "Uncle, Im in this state now, how can I let Xia Hou City Lord see me, my eyes..."

  Nangong Xian patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Qieer, Xiahou Chengzhu wont mind these things. When he comes, well go together to the East City to ask for medicine and must get Mituo Sheng to treat your eyes."

  Tang Li shook her head, "Uncle, I want to go to East City myself to ask for medicine."

  Nan Gong Xian was taken aback, furrowed his brow to observe her expression, and after a while, he regained his gentle smile and advised: "Qiner, your body is not well, why must you go so far away? Just stay here and take good care of yourself, dont worry about anything."

  Tang Li insisted, "To show sincerity, I should go and ask for the medicine myself. Its said that Mituo Sheng is a treasure of the Eastern City, and its normal for Yuwen Chengzhu not to want to give it out easily. Forcing him would be counterproductive, so let me go and show our sincerity instead, and avoid hurting everyones harmony."

  In the end, due to Tang Lis persistence, Nan Gong Xian compromised and sent his trusted men and a large team to escort her to the East City to seek medicine.
