Chapter 1036: Chapter 1038: Amusement (3)

Saknu glanced coldly to the side, and a eunuch standing by immediately went over, took the small slip of paper, and presented it to the Great Khan with both hands.

Everyone knew that the Great Khan had a terrible temper. After handing over the paper slip, the guard bowed his head and quietly retreated to the side, trying his best to minimize his presence.

A moment later, a loud "snap" was heard as the purple sandalwood and gold table in front of the throne shattered, followed by a burst of wild laughter from the Great Khan.

"Hahaha, woman, I’ve finally caught you!"

A daring guard stealthily looked up and saw the Great Khan’s face, which was unpredictable as a storm cloud. He gritted his teeth and enunciated every word, "This time, let’s see where you can run to?"

However, the Great Khan did not know that at this moment in Xiaoyaoshan Manor, the housekeeper Daru was pacing back and forth in the manor, his face covered with mutton-chop whiskers full of irritation.

If he had known that those four men had not succeeded and had lost the woman, he wouldn’t have written to the Great Khan to claim credit. By now, that pigeon letter was probably already in the Great Khan’s hands, and he must be overjoyed. The Great Khan would surely order him to bring the woman to Shengjing, but now that the woman was lost, where could he find her? If he angered or disappointed the Great Khan, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!

Shen Luming, the County Magistrate of Qing County, felt just as agitated.

As a minor seventh-rank official, he had always been trying to survive between the Jin Kingdom and Liaodan. He dared not offend the woman who was to be the mother of the future Emperor of the Great Jin Nation, nor did he dare offend the Liaodan people, who would kill without blinking.

The Liaodan people who had attempted to kidnap Mu Caiwei were still locked up in the dungeon, like a hot potato that he neither could accept nor discard.

If he took them, helping King Qin to interrogate these Liaodan people and to extract their mastermind, King Qin would be pleased. However, he would inevitably face the mad vengeance of the Liaodan people in the future. Qing County was next to Liaodan, and it would be easier for the Liaodan people to kill him than to kill a chicken, so he dared not; but if he sided with the Liaodan people and let them go privately, that would surely provoke King Qin’s displeasure. King Qin was the future Emperor of the Great Jin Nation, to offend the future father of the Emperor... He dared not... at all.

Thus, he paced anxiously like ants on a hot pan, utterly unsure of what to do!

"Ah, truly a femme fatale!"

In his vexation, he pounded the table and complained. If it wasn’t because of this woman, why would he have so many troubles?

When the sky brightened, Cai Wei appeared a mile outside the suburban manor; it was now midsummer, and the townsfolk arose early. She did not dare to ride the white tiger too close, for fear of being seen by others.

During the early summer mornings in the suburbs, the air was exceptionally pleasant, the fresh air was invigorating, and the lush fields were filled with the scent of grass and green leaves. On the country paths, early-rising birds chirped as if they were singing or greeting her.

Busy with the struggle to survive, she seldom had the experience of taking a walk in the woods in the early morning. Now, having the chance to enjoy it, the feeling was quite delightful.

Cai Wei walked slowly along the road, occasionally picking a few beautiful wildflowers and some odd wild herbs, softly humming a little tune from her past life, carefree and at ease.

Suddenly, the hurried sound of horse hooves approached rapidly like a drumbeat, breaking the morning serenity. In a short while, several steeds emerged from the dawn light, and the man on the leading pure white steed, with a detached elegance and radiant presence, dressed in a black robe with gold thread cloud patterns, rushed toward her from the morning light.

"Nangong Yi?"
