The Story Of Dusk 129 The Secret Meeting Of Long Tianmo And The Visit Of Qi Xunyi

Although she was still upset because Xiao Jun didn't return last night, Qianru was still aware to not roaming around carelessly, especially at the place like this, where hoodlums and vicious people gathered together.

However, she still found the needs of changing place to clear her mind.

Qianru was sitting alone in her table while munching her breakfast and Feng Jin, as he wasn't allowed to sit on the same table, took another seat on the table near her.

His eyes furtively scanned his surrounding, looking for potential danger that could come to his mistress way.

In the place like this, no one could be trusted.

On the other hand, Qianru was oblivious with all of this, her mind was still occupied with Xiao Jun's whereabouts.

Even the noise from the restaurant couldn't penetrate her thick mind, she was as if in her own bubble, detached from the world around her while her mind too busy to even care.

If in the beginning she was still upset to him, now as time goes, worry started to creep in.

Seemingly, this restaurant was quite famous, it was proved by how many people visited despite it was still early in the morning.

Qianru waved her hand to call Feng Jin over, the young guard hastily stood up and approached her. "Yes Princess Xiao?" He asked in low voice, slightly bent his body.

"Do you know where Prince Xiao went last night?" Qianru tilted her head curiously.

"Princess Xiao, I am afraid I am not the right person to answer your question." Feng Jins's voice sounded trouble as he s.h.i.+fted his feet uncomfortably.

Liu Wei didn't specifically said it was a secret, but he also didn't dare to divulge their plan. If his Mistress didn't even know where his Master had gone, it was mean he didn't tell her.

Therefore, what right he had to tell her?

In this world, for people like him, one wrong word could cost trouble more than it supposed to be, because the life of low birth could be easily replaced.

Thus, he was dare not to say more than he had to.

On the other hand, Qianru didn't like Feng Jin's words. "Do you meant, you know but you can't tell me?" She asked him directly.

Feng Jin contemplated his answer for awhile before he said. "Forgive this low servant Princess Xiao, but I dare not to say more than this." His head hung low to show that he was sincerely apologize.

Qianru's lips formed a tight line. "Let's go back."

Suddenly her appet.i.te vanished into thin air, though she still felt a little bit hungry, she ignored it. Qianru stood up abruptly and walked hastily toward the exit door.

She couldn't believe it, a guard knew her husband whereabouts while she, as his wife, didn't have any idea where he was now.

Pathetic isn't it?

Qianru heaved a heavy sigh, she shouldn't be too sensitive like this, because Xiao Jun had treated her this way before. She must not take it to heart. But…

She couldn't get rid of the disappointment.

When Qianru was about to leave the restaurant, she caught a glimpse of someone who she barely recognized.

Long Tianmo, the owner of the inn she was resided, he was talking with someone at a secluded place, however it wasn't him that concerned her, but the person who he was talking to…

He was Leader Mo, he was General in west region in Azura, one of Xiao w.a.n.g Wei trusted aide.

Leader Mo was a man in his middle thirty that looked very quiet and a.s.sertive. The simple grey robe that he was wearing concealed his important status perfectly, he looked more like an ordinary merchant rather than a General.

If Qianru had not met him for couple of time in the past, she would have hard time to say it was him.

But what he was doing here? Talking with Long Tianmo in secret.

Leader Mo and Long Tianmo apparently engaged in serious conversation and very confidence no one would see them in this crowded restaurant early in the morning.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Qianru couldn't possibly to approach them, but one thing that she knew was to let Xiao Jun aware about this.

There was a possibility that old fart divulged Xiao Jun's plan to hire a group of a.s.sa.s.sin to finish Xiao w.a.n.g Wei, or what else Long Tianmo had a need to talk to Xiao w.a.n.g Wei's people?

With that thought Qianru hastened her pace, it was better to not let them knew that she had seen their secret meeting.

But, where on earth Xiao Jun now!?

Qianru clenched her fist agitatedly. "Feng Jin!"

"Yes, Princess Xiao." The young boy could feel her annoyance.

"You do know where is Jun, right?" Qianru glared at him.

"Yes… yes…" Feng Jin stuttered, why suddenly his delicate mistress turned out so hostile?

Both of them had arrived in front of Qianru's door room when she stopped to face the young guard.

"Tell him that I am in serious danger! And he has to return right away!" Qianru snapped at him.

"Yes, Princess… but, what danger?" Feng Jin was confused.

Qianru was totally fine and if he had to say she was in danger, but he, as the guard who have to protect her, flee to find his Master for help, wouldn't his Master kill him first?

"You can say I am being kidnap or someone barged into my room!" Qianru said impatiently. She was worried about Xiao Jun and couldn't wait to tell him what she saw just now, but she also still felt upset because the event last night. "Understand!?"

Feng Jin subconsciously nodded his head, he would have never thought that his Mistress could be so scary. "Yes… understood."

"Good!"

And Qianru slammed the door right before his eyes, this was the second time Qianru had slammed the door this morning.

Leaving Feng Jin flabbergasted.

What he should do now?

*** 

At the other part of the black market, inside one of the room in the cheap brothel, there were three people were talking to each other in strict confidence.

Two of them appeared incompatible with the environment of this cheap brothel, their aura were different and their manner was something that only belonged to those high born.

While the other one looked more like a huntsman, his messy hair tied into a man bun atop of his head while he drank the liquor from the bottle- gourd.

"So, Prince Xiao w.a.n.g Wei is really here?" Qi Xunyi put down his empty cup elegantly. He was the last descendent of Xinghe's royal family and since Xinghe Kingdom was no more, he was with Ye Bai to help Xiao Jun took down the real enemies behind the extermination of his family.

"Yes, he is." Xiao Jun poured another tea into Qi Xunyi's empty cup while Ye Bai had half drunk by now.

Because of something had happened on their way to the black market, Xiao Jun had to go all the way to save them and only now they could relax a bit while having a decent conversation.

That was a reason why he couldn't return like he had promised Qianru the night before.

"What do you think he is doing here at this time?" Qi Xunyi asked.

"Of course for the Golden auction." Ye Bai slurred. "There will be many children from the remaining of Xinghe Kingdom that they will auction off." He chugged down the liquid inside the bottle. "Sheng find me another bottle." He threw the empty bottle to one of the two boys who were sitting at the corner of the room, out of their view.

"But, I am Xun…" The boy grumbled and stood up to walk out of the room.

"Wait, I will come with you!" The boy named Sheng followed his brother.

The two of them were twin who was saved from the dreadful night attack by w.a.n.g Yu that cost Ye Bai his wife and son.

He was frequently not in his right mind and since then, the twin always with him.

"Make sense." Xiao Jun nodded. "Recently they are looking for the remaining Xinghe people, especially children."

"But, I still couldn't understand what they are going to do with those children?" Qi Xunyi's eyes slightly darkened.

They were his own people! Though he wasn't a crown prince back then, but he still felt responsible for his people well- being

"The last information that Ye Bai got…" Xiao Jun glanced at Ye Bai who had slumped on the floor. "They are gathering those children in the Mountain Sui Sword Sect."

Even though Ye Bai's mentality was not always stabil since he lost his wife and son, but when he got an a.s.signment he would sober enough to finish it.

Actually it helped him to distract his mind.

"That's why the way to the mountain is sealed. No one is able to enter and leave as they please." Qi Xunyi mumbled. "But, why they need a lot of children?"

"We are still investigating this matter." Xiao Jun sipped his tea slowly.

"Prince Xiao Jun, about your plan to kill Prince Xiao w.a.n.g Wei, did Long Tianmo has found someone to execute this?" Qi Xunyi got a blanket to cover Ye Bai, who has slept on the floor.

"He will give me the name before the sun down." Absentmindedly, Xiao Jun looked at the clear sky outside. Qianru would be disappointed because he didn't return as he had promised.

"You better know what plan you are playing… that old f*rt Long Tianmo, couldn't be trusted." Ye Bai mumbled in his stupor state, curled his body with the blanket that Qi Xunyi had put on him.

"Thank you Ye Bai, I know what I am doing." Xiao Jun smiled faintly.

"Hope the situation later within your control." Qi Xunyi sighed. "Or else it will turn very ugly for your side."

"No need to worry about that." There was coldness in his voice and determination to keep the situation within his grasp. "How about the people that I asked you to look for, has you found any information about them?"

Upon hearing Xiao Jun's question, Qi Xunyi sighed. "It is hard to find any information about the three of them." His eyes cast down. "Elder Zhong from Rockstone Kingdom, Elder Chen from Zodasian Kingdom and Elder Fu from Xinghe Kingdom." He counted the people, who Xiao Jun had asked him to find out about their whereabouts.

"It is crucial for me to find the three of them." Xiao Jun frowned.

"Does Elder not know about the three of them?"

"I had asked Elder Dam about this, he let me know about their secluded place, but it is very hard to reach there."

The four Elders were the representative of the four kingdoms in this realm. They have their own alliance with each other and responsible to create a harmony, however it had been long time since the last news about the other three Elder was heard, while Elder Dam was too busy to help Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao saved their life back then.

"Tell me the place and Ye Bai and I will be heading there." Qi Xunyi said very eager to do something.

"Thank you for your offer." Xiao Jun said politely. "But it is something that I have to do by myself."

Xiao Jun needed to face the other three Elders by himself, he didn't think it would be polite to ask for their helping hand if it wasn't him who came to them directly.

"It's needed long time to find them, but you are currently in Rockstone Kingdom. How can you find opportunity to look for them?" Qi Xunyi sighed again, this matter was getting more and more complicated.

"Since I am in Rockstone Kingdom, I will look for Elder Zhong first." As for the time, he would find the right moment to do so or he would create one.
