Chapter 259: He Is Not That Smart

Huan Yun thought for a while, then looked at Xu Xiang, and said, "Then we can stay here for a few more days."

Hearing what she said, Hu Wenfeng stood up, helped Huan Yun stand up and said with a smile on his handsome face: "I will take you out to play and relax today."

Before Huan Yun could reject him, he circled his arm on her waist and left the inn. Looking at the red light that was flying away, Xu Xiang asked calmly: "Didn’t we agree to stay here so she can have a good rest?"

Mu Yucheng and Xiao Shao replied at the same time: "Mhm."

After breakfast, Xu Xiang returned to her room, and then went to take care of the crops, animals and the finished products in her space. Thinking that she was going to catch up with her sleep, Mu Yucheng went back to his room to continue cultivating. Meanwhile, Xiao Shao was busy investigating the Hong Yue Sect and the people behind them.

While they were busy with their own affairs, the war between the Shang Empire and the Bei Wei Empire was still ongoing. After Qi Baijun lost Lin Zi City to Yao Zhen and lost most of the Black Qilin Army because of Jin Huai’s trap, his chances of winning the crown prince’s position were not good.

In the pavilion of Zheng Yi Wang’s mansion, Chen Yiwei looked at Qi Baijun who had a calm face. Seeing that his friend was still so calm after losing the position of major general and losing all his military achievements to the eldest prince, Chen Yiwei angrily put the white chess pieces back into the bowl.

Qi Baijun raised his head, looked at his friend and asked, "Why don’t you make your move? It’s your turn."

Chen Yiwei stared at him for a while, then asked, "Baijun, aren’t you angry?"

Qi Baijun chuckled and asked, "Why should I be angry?"

"That Qi Gaoshen dared to snatch all your achievements openly just because you lost Lin Zi City to Yao Zhen. Did they forget that you conquered seven cities of the Shang Empire in just one month? How could they say you didn’t achieve anything?" Chen Yiwei said angrily.

Putting the black chess piece back on the bowl, Qi Baijun picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Chen Yiwei. He put the teapot back on top of the small tea brazier, picked up the teacup, and sipped his tea leisurely.

"Mhm, this new tribute tea tastes good." He said after taking a few sips of tea.

Seeing him sipping tea leisurely, Chen Yiwei sighed and asked, "What is your next plan? Do you really intend to let Qi Gaoshen take everything from you? What about the position as the crown prince? Will you give it up too?"

"Qi Gaoshen is not the mastermind behind all of this. He is not that smart. Since the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we can’t act rashly and alarm the enemies. We just need to patiently wait for the real mastermind to take action before launching a counterattack." Qi Baijun said without taking his eyes off the teacup in his hand.

Chen Yiwei knew that Qi Baijun had his own plan, so he stopped talking about that matter. He picked up a white chess piece from the bowl, put it on the chessboard, and said calmly: "It’s your turn."

Seeing that Chen Yiwei had calmed down, Qi Baijun picked up a black chess piece from the bowl and put it on the chessboard. The two continued to play chess until late at night before Chen Yiwei returned to the Duke of Chen’s mansion.

At the same time, in Reng Wang’s mansion, Qi Yuanli was enjoying the night view at the lake pavilion. Hidden under the cover of night, a mysterious man appeared out of thin air. Wearing a hood and a mask, Qi Yuanli can only guess that the mysterious person is a man.

Qi Yuanli put down his painting brush and asked calmly: "Who are you? Why did you break into my mansion without permission?"

Seeing his calm expression, the mysterious man said, "I have met Reng Wang. I am here to offer cooperation to you under the order of my master."

Qi Yuanli didn’t know what the mysterious man used to change his voice, but all he heard was a combination of male voices, female voices, old and young voices. His gender and age cannot be judged by his current voice. Even his manly appearance may be a disguise.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yuanli said calmly: "Isn’t it too insincere for your master to ask you to come here to discuss cooperation with this prince, instead of him coming in person?"

The mysterious man understood that the fifth prince of the Bei Wei Empire just wanted to talk to his master, so he said, "I will convey your words to my master."

As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, he disappeared from there. Qi Yuanli picked up the painting brush as if nothing had happened, and continued to paint the night scene of the lake.

Three days later, Huan Yun’s injury had basically healed after taking a lot of medicine given by Hu Wenfeng, and they decided to continue their journey. With Hu Wenfeng joining them, Xiao Shao prepared a bigger carriage for them. They traveled on the road for another five days before they reached a small town.

The farther away they were from the Shang Empire, the better the conditions of the common people. There is more and more greenery on the roadside, and the living conditions of the common people are better than those in the Shang Empire.

Looking at the people queuing in front of the town gate, Huan Yun said, "This is the first time I have seen someone who doesn’t look like chopsticks. I never expected to see healthy looking people in this world."
