Chapter 362 Xiao Mo also knows
"Lord Sikong, we meet again!"
A biting cold swirled up a large swath of snowflakes. On the banks of the moat outside Patan City of the Liao Dynasty, Changfeng, who had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, looked down at Sikong Jin striding towards him, a slight smile appearing in his eyes.
"Changfeng, I never expected it to actually be you!"
Sikong Jin pulled down the hood of her cloak, shook off the snowflakes clinging to her clothes, and a rare smile appeared on her beautiful face. She strode up the steps and came to Changfeng. "I wanted to go to Luoyang to find you, but I missed you several times. Where is Xiaomo? How is Xiaomo? Didn't she come with you?"
Sikong Jin was naturally very grateful to Changfeng and had a very good impression of him. From Sikong Mo's previous letters, it was clear that Changfeng had been very good to Sikong Mo, and almost all of his martial arts skills had been personally taught by Changfeng.
"Xiao Mo is doing well. He is currently following the Master and being personally taught by him. Lord Sikong, you will be able to meet him soon. The Master may even bring him to you in person."
Changfeng smiled calmly.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked in confusion, "Master? Yuan Yun?"
In a daze, she vaguely remembered hearing that Fengyun Tower had a close relationship with Yuan Yun, but then she thought about it and realized that it didn't make sense. Back in Malan City, she had heard Jing Su mention the master of Fengyun Tower...
and many more!
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and a light flashed in her mind. Just as she was about to say something, Changfeng took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "You must have thought of it, right? The Lord sent me to deliver a message to you. Xiao Mo is right next to the Lord, so Lord Sikong doesn't need to worry."
As soon as Changfeng finished speaking, Sikong Jin frowned, a dark light flashing in her starry eyes as she stared intently at the token that Changfeng was handing over. She naturally recognized the token; it was the identity token of the Great Zhou Dark Guard, which she had seen with Emperor Beizun.
"Did he ask you to bring Sikong Mo over there?"
After thinking for a moment, she frowned and asked.
"Yes, the master wants to personally teach and guide Xiao Mo, so he took me with him during this great battle and told me to tell the master to rest assured."
"Don't worry my ass!"
She originally planned to send someone to Luoyang to bring Sikong Mo over after conquering Patan City, or go to Luoyang City herself to see him. But now Changfeng is telling her that Sikong Mo is with Di Beizun.
Can anyone tell her what's going on?
Still feel at ease?
It was obvious she was plotting something. She'd learned her lesson the hard way many times; Di Beizun would never do anything that would leave her at a disadvantage, like this time, using the pretext of supporting Hangu Pass to directly bypass and attack Tiansheng. Even Sikong Jin couldn't help but admire such a deep-seated scheme, making her believe that this guy would genuinely be good to Sikong Mo, unless the sky were to fall!
She couldn't help but curse a few more times, convinced that Di Beizun was plotting something again, and might be digging a pit for her to fall into!
"My lord, I like the Master very much, and the Master treats me very well. Please rest assured. It's all good for me to be by the Master's side. Besides, there's nothing wrong with me getting closer to my brother-in-law beforehand..."
Brother-in-law!
Upon hearing this, Lord Sikong was taken aback and subconsciously turned his gaze away, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.
Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "My lord, don't be nervous. I have known about this for a long time."
Sikong Jin paused for a moment, then thought about it. This was quite normal. If Di Beizun was the master of Fengyun Tower, and Yuan Yun had a close relationship with Fengyun Tower, it would be normal for him, as a high-ranking protector of Fengyun Tower, to know about this.
Sikong Jin is no longer as afraid of her identity being exposed as before. If she can control this large area in the southwest, she will have the right to challenge the Emperor of Dayong. Therefore, what she needs to do now is to control this territory.
"Does Xiao Mo know about my situation too?"
Sikong Jin appeared quite calm at this moment. Apart from a hint of helplessness flashing in her starry eyes, her delicate face remained serene.
"No, the author means it's better for you to tell him personally. By the way, the author means that you should continue to advance westward, but not approach the border between the Liao and Tiansheng. As for the capital of Dayong, I will go there soon."
Sikong Jin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How is the situation over there?"
"When I arrived, the Lord had already led his troops straight to Hanyang City. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have already occupied Hanyang City. As for the specifics, I don't know. The Lord should send someone to deliver a message soon, and you will understand when the time comes."
Sikong Jin was naturally aware that the Imperial Northern Army had swept across the northeastern part of Tiansheng and headed straight for Hanyang City, but she had not expected that they would launch such a reckless attack.
The scouts and intelligence agents sent out have not yet returned with any news. If she really does lead her troops to continue westward, then what about his side...?
She couldn't quite understand him, and she couldn't figure out what he was planning to do next. Was he so sure that the Jiangxi Fortress would fall into the hands of their Great Zhou?
Such a large-scale operation is clearly intended to deal with Tian Sheng. However, has he considered what he would do if Tian Sheng and Da Liao joined forces to resist him?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and a complex look flashed in her starry eyes, as if she had doubts and worries.
"grown ups?"
Seeing that Sikong Jin's expression was complicated and she remained silent for a long time, Changfeng finally called out.
Sikong Jin finally came to her senses, slightly tugged at her clothes that had been ruffled by the wind, and took a breath with a complicated expression. "I understand."
"Well, that's good. Please take care of yourself in this cold weather. Once spring arrives, or perhaps early summer, when the situation has stabilized, I will come to visit you and Xiao Mo."
After spring?
Early summer?
That also depends on whether he had already taken control of the Jiangxi Fortress by then.
Thinking of this, Lord Sikong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He suddenly realized that cooperating with such an unpredictable person was truly a headache. You had no idea how to cooperate with them, and in this ancient era with its poor communication, it was not easy to find out what was happening ahead.
"My lord, now that the message has been delivered, I will continue on my way."
Seeing that Sikong Jin looked preoccupied, and that even talking about the Lord of the Pavilion was making her uneasy, Changfeng smiled and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. The Lord of the Pavilion's abilities are far beyond what you have seen. He will protect Xiao Mo."
