And now, he actually wanted Meng Fuying to wash his clothes. What did he mean by that?
What was going on between him and Meng Fuying?
Bai Yichen’s eyes suddenly darkened. When he looked at Meng Fuying, there was a hint of probing in his cold gaze. She and Xuanyuan Ye?
“Fu’er…” Bai Yichen suppressed the shock in his heart and was about to walk towards her.
“Qing Zhu, let’s go back.” Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Meng Fuying turned around and left.
Bai Yichen’s face darkened.
When Meng Ruxue saw Bai Yichen’s reaction, a scheming look flashed across her vicious eyes. With her ability, she might not be able to stop this matter, but with Bai Yichen…
Thinking of a perfect plan, Meng Ruxue smiled smugly.
Xuanyuan Ye was hers. She would never allow anyone to snatch him away.
The army set off before the time was up. It was only when they set off that the emperor realized that the funds had not been gathered yet.
“Your Majesty, a thief entered the Bai Residence last night. All the silver was stolen. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me. Yichen will gather all the silver in five days and specially send someone to the military camp. He will definitely not delay the use of the army.” Bai Yichen still said the same thing. However, in his respect, he was more careful and cautious.
The emperor’s face was dark and his eyes were cold. He did not answer Bai Yichen but turned to Meng Yuntian and asked, “Yuntian, what do you think?”
“I will only protect the peace of the country and the lives of every soldier under me.” Meng Yuntian’s eyes narrowed as he spoke in a low voice. There wasn’t much emotion in his voice, but his imposing manner was overbearing.
He was a good marshal. He would defend his country and defend his soldiers. But if there was insufficient funding…
Bai Yichen’s body stiffened, and the emperor’s face turned even colder.
“How can the funding be delayed? Since Young Master Bai is in trouble for the time being, why don’t I pay for the funding this time?” A voice suddenly sounded, causing the three of them to be shocked. They all turned around and when they saw who it was, they were even more stunned.
Although they were not in the palace, they were still in a pavilion highly guarded by the army. For this man to be able to enter so easily, his martial arts were truly unfathomable.
“Cheetah!” Even the usually calm Meng Yuntian had a look of shock on his face. When he looked at the mask, his eyes seemed to darken slightly. This person had always done things in an extremely strange manner? Now, he appeared here?
“Bu Jingyu?” Bai Yichen exclaimed almost at the same time as he did. No one had seen the true face of the Cheetah Organization master before because he always wore a mask, and this mask became his symbol.
Meng Yuntian and Bai Yichen had both met the person in the mask before. The silver mask covered his entire face, making it impossible to see his expression.
He was still wearing a mask in front of the emperor. It had to be said that he was indeed arrogant, but there was no denying that his ability gave him every right to be arrogant.
The emperor was also secretly shocked. His eyes became more cautious. This person was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
He had heard that the Emperor of the Da Xi Empire had somehow provoked him. Subsequently, the Da Xi Empire had almost disappeared overnight.
Although this person was considered some sort of a wanderer, he was feared by all the rulers.
“Bu Jingyu is here to participate in the Emperor’s banquet.” He bowed very politely, although his voice was a bit cold. He had only slightly cupped his hands, but this was the etiquette in the underworld.
“Young Hero Bu doesn’t need to be so polite. I just didn’t know that Young Hero Bu would suddenly come here today…” The emperor’s eyes flashed and he was at a loss. Logically speaking, his Xuanyuan Dynasty didn’t have much of a relationship with Bu Jingyu, so Bu Jingyu’s funding was really…
“I’ve already made it clear just now that I’m here to pay for the funding.” Bu Jingyu went straight to the point. His deep voice still carried with it a domineering air. In front of the emperor, he directly called himself ‘me’ rather than in third-person.
The emperor was slightly stunned. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly. “My Xuanyuan Dynasty has no relations with Young Hero Bu. Young Hero Bu’s actions have puzzled me.”
The emperor didn’t beat around the bush. After all, nothing good came free. It was impossible for him to accept such a large sum of money for no reason. Moreover, it belonged to this person.
“Haha…” Bu Jingyu suddenly chuckled. Although he was wearing a mask and couldn’t see his expression, his clear voice was indeed laughter.
Meng Yuntian was slightly startled. He subconsciously felt that the smile was too abrupt, as if it was incompatible with him. There seemed to be some faint traces of…
“If you want to make it clear, we really don’t have much of a relationship.” As his laughter faded, he seemed to whisper helplessly, “Sigh, aren’t I doing it all because of my woman?”
His words really stunned the three of them. Why was there a woman again?
What did funding have to do with women?
“Young Hero Bu, if there’s nothing else, please feel free to leave.” Meng Yuntian’s eyes sank, and then he said coldly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an irrepressible dignity. This was the coldness tempered by someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
He knew that he could not afford to offend this man, but the Xuanyuan Dynasty would not allow him to joke around.
The emperor was slightly stunned, as if he didn’t expect Meng Yuntian to display such power at this moment. His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
“I’ve long heard of Your Lordship’s prestige. Seeing you today, you truly deserve your reputation.” Bu Jingyu looked at Meng Yuntian. Not only did he not show any anger, he even praised him without holding back.
“You flatter me.” Meng Yuntian’s voice was still cold and emotionless, but there was more vigilance in his eyes. “Young Hero Bu, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“Hahaha…” Bu Jingyu laughed once more. But this time, it was a loud laugh, and it was much more sincere than before. “My Lord, you’re really frank and straightforward. Alright, since it’s like this, then I’ll be frank. Actually, it was my woman who asked me to donate this sum of money.”
“Woman?” The emperor was once again stunned. He could not help but let out a low cry. In ancient times, women had a low status. No matter what it was, it was always decided by men. How could he listen to a woman on such a big matter?
Bai Yichen’s eyes darkened slightly. There was obvious disdain in his eyes.
Pain flashed across Meng Yuntian’s eyes, but he was not surprised at all. If she had asked him to do it, he would have done it no matter what. Unfortunately, she had left too early.
“That’s right. My woman told me to come out with this sum of money and to ask the emperor to return her freedom.” Bu Jingyu whispered again. However, his words this time were even more confusing..
