Chapter 548.2: why is she here

s.h.i.+ Mo also boarded the horse carriage, his gaze wandering between Su Xi-er and Tan Ge. Finally, he leaned against the side of the carriage before falling silent.

Resentment flickered past Tan Ges eyes. Both she and Su Xi-er were wearing red dresses, yet after fleeing through the woods, hers was covered in mud. One of them seemingly emanated a sense of n.o.bility, while the other was a dazzling beauty.

Silence hung over the carriage until they finally arrived at a pier.

Su Xi-er chuckled. Were going by water? Where do you plan to go?

Its not easy to be discovered; all there is around you is endless water. s.h.i.+ Mo coldly explained.

He alighted the horse carriage and went to pa.s.s on a few instructions outside the carriage.

Su Xi-er looked towards Tan Ge. Your tactics are impressive. How did you get to know such a dangerous man? What exchange did you make with him?

What could I possibly have? Havent you already met with Du Ling? Did he recognise you?

Su Xi-er nodded. Yes, we did meet.

Haha, I thought he was dead; to think that he survived. To answer you though, I dont know the man who just alighted the carriage. Not only that, I dont even have anything thats worth others making use of me; if Du Ling sees me, Im as good as dead. The corners of Tan Ges mouth rose and her eyes darkened.

I originally planned to sneak back to the Western Region, before utilising the troops I possess, as well as the left factions power. However, this man in black suddenly appeared and captured me, ruining my plan!

Should I believe you? You caused Chao Mu to die; dont you feel guilty at night?

Tan Ges gaze turned cold. You already know that Xie Yun was threatening me back then. The person who killed Chao Mu is Xie Yun. My objective in coming back to Beimin was to kill him, yet you didnt allow me to do so. If anything, youre the cold-blooded one for not wanting to take revenge for Chao Mu.

Su Xi-er watched Tan Ge quietly, prompting her to snap.

Who are you to look at me like? Su Xi-er, youre not fit to do so. Tan Ge lashed out and looked away from Su Xi-er.

The curtain was lifted, and s.h.i.+ Mos voice could be heard. Come down.

Tan Ges brow was scrunched up as she alighted with Su Xi-er following behind.

A medium-sized boat was stationed on the riverbank. The river extended in all eight directions, and could reach as far as Dongling and Xiliu.

The half-faced mans power isnt in Beimin but in other countries?

Get on. s.h.i.+ Mo coldly ordered as he stood behind Su Xi-er. He then pushed Tan Ge onto the boat.

Walking onto the deck, Su Xi-er asked, Why did you abduct Tan Ge? What else does she have thats of use to you?

You are the real imperial princess, and while shes only the imperial princess in name, she also holds the military tally. What do you think I want to do? s.h.i.+ Mo cackled. He then instructed the man beside him to confine Su Xi-er and Tan Ge in a room.

Tan Ge looked at s.h.i.+ Mo with a cold gaze.

Hes after the military power I hold.

Soon, the rope securing the boat to the pier was untied, and it gradually began to drift out into the river.

At the bow of the boat, s.h.i.+ Mo stood ramrod straight with a curl at the corner of his mouth.

Everything is within my grasp. Pei Qianhao, so what if youre powerful?

Another man in black walked forward and pa.s.sed him a letter. The personal guard of Donglings new emperor sent this.

s.h.i.+ Mo took the letter and read its contents. A wicked smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and he remarked in a deep voice. This emperor is cruel and callous. He brought Chu Linglong down and set up his biological elder brother.

However, the new emperor has gone out of his way to ask for Tan Ge. Its really interesting.
