Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2024 Arrival
Understaffed?

It's not that the Mu family has no manpower, it's just that they don't want to lend it to him.

Ying Xun said lightly, "The high-level ceremony has been over for more than a month, and the group of young adults should go back."

unless……

Ying Xun's eyes flashed.

Unless the group of young men didn't plan to go back to Mu's house from the beginning, but stayed outside to look for Ying Baoyue.

"It may also be that the letter was lost on the way," Huo Zhan said eagerly, "I heard from my uncle that he has already sent another letter."

"Master Dazai doesn't need to bother," Ying Xun said calmly, "I'm afraid the Mu family won't come."

Although Mu You didn't choose to follow him with his whole family back then, he didn't stay in the Great Qin court to continue to be Ying Hanri's ministers either.

In a sense, Mu You is a kind of courtier who is neutral.

It is also because of this that the veterans of the former Qin Dynasty have always had expectations for him, and have always dreamed of trying to win him over.

Ying Xun sighed inwardly.

After all, if he had the support of one of the Great Qin's Three Heroes, he would have a much better chance of winning against Ying Hanri.At the same time, if Mu You chooses him, many other neutral hermit families will also start to support him, and the power of his faction will increase instantly.

Mu You has such influence.

But no matter how the people on their side contacted him, or even visited him in person with a mountain of gifts, they failed to get a response from Mu You.

He got lost in Misty Ridge without even touching the door of Mu's house.

But it was Mu You, whom the people on his side had fought for so long and hadn't seen, easily lent his children to Ying Baoyue.

Ying Xun closed his eyes and said calmly, "Huo Zhan, you'd better persuade your uncle to give up. I'm not the one that Old General Mu is looking for."

"Then who else can he take a fancy to?"

"You are the most suitable candidate!"

Huo Zhan's eyes filled with genuine confusion, and his chest heaved a few times, "What kind of hidden family, to put it bluntly, is just a bunch of grass!"

Anyone with a little brain knows that in today's Great Qin, there is no one who is more suitable for the current King of Qin than Ying Xun.

From Huo Zhan's point of view, the reason why Mu You didn't express his attitude was because Ying Xun's forces were too weak and he had no chance of winning against Ying Hanri, so this group of people chose to wait and see for the time being.

"Am I the most suitable candidate?"

Ying Xun couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard Huo Zhan's words.

He did think so before, but now when he thinks about it again, a figure of a person keeps appearing in his heart.

"Ah Zhan," Ying Xun sighed, "You should know who Old General Mu lent his soldiers to."

"But maybe that's just sympathy for her." Huo Zhan didn't understand why Ying Xun was struggling with this issue, "Even if General Mu lent her his soldiers, so what?"

Ying Baoyue is just a woman.

Even if she wins the old minister's favor again, even if she wins the three-yuan leader, even if she becomes the fourth-ranked at a young age...

But so what?
She is a woman.

Huo Zhan exhaled, if Ying Baoyue was a man and Ying Hanri's younger brother, it would really attract the attention of the former Qin survivors, and might even be regarded as a bigger threat than Ying Hanri.

But she is a woman, so all the problems are not problems.

Ying Baoyue was excluded from the battle for the throne from the beginning.

"So what?"

Ying Xun put away the secret thought in his heart, even if he was as young as Huo Zhan, he might not be able to understand the thought in his heart, let alone the other elders, if he said it, he would only provoke a storm.

"Anyway, let me think again."

Ying Xun lowered his gaze, "Isn't that child born in two or three months?"

"It hasn't been that long," Huo Zhan said indifferently, "There is news from the palace that people can hear the conversation between Her Royal Highness the Queen and her maid through a cable. It seems that the child will be born next month."

"next month?"

Ying Xun was taken aback, "So fast?"

"Anyway, I don't know where the wild species came from. It's normal to be born early," Huo Zhan said disdainfully.

"It's just..." He stared into Ying Xun's eyes, "Your Highness, what are you waiting for?"

He knew that Ying Xun was soft-hearted, but he wasn't soft enough to be so indecisive.

If Ying Xun evaded it a few times before, it could be said that he could not do anything to the blood relatives, but now he has clearly stated that the child is not Ying Hanri's, and Ying Xun still evades, it can only prove that his previous guess was correct.

It's not that Ying Xun couldn't make a decision early, he was deliberately delaying time.

Wait until... the person he was waiting for came back.

Huo Zhan paused, "Your Highness, who are you waiting for?"

Ying Xun's body froze, looking at Huo Zhan's expression, he knew that there were some things he couldn't hide.

"I……"

He was silent for a moment, "I just thought, it's about time for her to come back."

Sure enough.

Huo Zhan closed his eyes, Ying Xun didn't say who it was, but he knew it well.

After all, he is also a person who came back from Xiling Snow Mountain.

The practitioners who came back from Xiling Snow Mountain, I am afraid that none of them will be able to forget the princess.

But even though Huo Zhan had a premonition, he was still shocked when Ying Xun said it himself.

"My lord, why are you waiting for her to come back?"

Huo Zhan looked at Ying Xun in disbelief, "Wait until she comes back to watch you and her brother kill each other?"

"Or do you want her to ignore her own brother and help you instead?"

Don't say it, it's really possible.

Ying Xun remained silent, but such a thought crossed his mind.

After all, Ying Hanri is not her real brother at all, but he can be regarded as her real son.

Ying Xun's eyes suddenly softened, and Huo Zhan looked on in shock.

"Eldest son, don't be stupid!"

He couldn't help persuading, "Even if the relationship between Her Royal Highness and Ying Hanri is not good, it is impossible for her to watch Ying Hanri die."

"If she comes back, our cause will only be more troublesome!"

In fact, in the eyes of former Qin survivors, Ying Baoyue has become the number one candidate for trouble.

This time they decided to implement the plan ahead of schedule. Apart from the reason why the queen was suspected of giving birth earlier, another reason was Ying Baoyue's disappearance.

Even if the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty no longer want to admit it, this princess who was looked down upon by everyone when she left the former Qin Dynasty already has considerable influence in the practice world.

Even regardless of realm, Ying Baoyue's superb medical skills are enough to make people dread.

If she starts to solve Ying Hanri's illness, then their business for many years may be in vain.

After hearing that she might have been taken to Xirong, Huo Zhan heard more than once a former Qin survivor say that he hoped that she would just stay in Xirong or die in Xirong.

"Eldest son, have you ever thought that maybe she won't come back?"

Ying Xun's scalp exploded and he glared at Huo Zhan.

"Sorry, it's my subordinate who made a slip of the tongue," Huo Zhan was startled by Ying Xun's gaze.

"Forget it," Ying Xun fixed a glance at him, and turned his gaze to the window.

"I'm sure she'll be back, and it won't even take long."

Ying Xun said softly, "I just don't know how she is now."

……

……

In the wind and sand, Ying Baoyue sneezed.

"What's wrong?" Chunyu Ye frowned at her, "I told you to cover your nose, right?"

Ying Baoyue nodded, covered her nose and mouth with one hand, and looked forward with the rein in one hand, "Are we almost there?"

"Yes."

Chunyu Ye pointed to the center of the sandstorm.

"That's Sand City."

He sneered, "Your Ji Jiashu and Li Ji are waiting for you there."
