Novel Full Chapter 740 - Jin Country Envoy
Chapter 740: Jin Country Envoy
When Bai Zhi returned to the guest house, Dongfang Mu was about to come out, and so the two collided at the door.
“Your back so soon? Have you seen the person?” Dongfang Mu took the oil paper umbrella in the maidservant’s hand and blocked the flying snow for Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi looked up at the snowy sky, a cold wind poured in from her neckline, which made her shiver. The winter in the capital was even colder than in the northwest.
This kind of cold seems can penetrate a person’s bones, and can even coagulate the blood in the body.
Hu Feng went to meet the envoy of the Jin Country, but he hasn’t come back yet. She doesn’t know whether his business went smoothly.
“Grandpa, let’s go back, we are no longer needed here.” She retracted her gaze and smiled at Dongfang Mu, who was holding the umbrella for her.
Dongfang Mu was stunned. Doesn’t she call him master? Or grandfather?
Grandpa was a folk name. This was an address by the ordinary people to their grandfather. This word sounds a little strange compared with the word grandfather.
No matter whether she called her master or grandfather, what matters is she treats him like a grandfather, right? I
“Okay, let’s go back. No matter how magnificent this Meng Mansion is, it’s not as good as our own home.” As he said, he held Bai Zhi’s arm and pulled her close to him, to keep her out of the wind and snow.
After leaving the courtyard, just when they were about to take another step, Meng Nan chased after them with a flushed face. There was even white smoke kept coming out of his mouth.
“Zhi’er, let me explain.”
Bai Zhi winked her eye towards him, but he didn’t understand what she meant. He opened his mouth and said: “My mother, she said something wrong, but don’t blame her. She is like that, but she is not a bad person. So don’t take it seriously.”
Before Bai Zhi could speak, Dongfang Mu shouted: “What did your mother say? Did it make my Zhi’er angry?” His voice raised a few degrees, which made Meng Nan’s heart trembled, and he regretted it secretly. Bai Zhi winked at him, but he didn’t react. Only now he understood what she meant.
Bai Zhi busily said: “No, no, she just woke up and said some nonsense. How can I put such nonsense that a patient said into my heart?”
Dongfang Mu was not stupid. Seeing Meng Nan was so anxious, how can a patient simply talk nonsense? It can be seen that Bai Zhi just doesn’t want him to care, so he softly snorted and said: “In the future, anyone who dares to be disrespectful to you will be disrespectful to me, Dongfang Mu. Just tell me who that person is. Regardless if it’s the Empress Dowager or the emperor, I, Dongfang Mu, will vent your anger.”
Meng Yuande also rushed into the guest courtyard. When he heard those words, his legs soften in fright. When other people said such a thing, he wouldn’t take it seriously. But now, it’s different.
It was Dongfang Mu who said this, he had to take it seriously.
Dongfang Mu not only has this temper and character but also has the ability.
After Dongfang Mu said those words, he pulled Bai Zhi and left, without even looking at Meng Yuande and Meng Nan.
It wasn’t until the two of them disappeared completely in the wind and snow that the father and son returned to their senses. They both sighed and felt melancholy.

Qingyang Inn
Hu Feng, with two thousand elite soldiers, traveled hundreds of miles away from the capital, were waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the Jin Country in the Qingyang Inn.
They were originally scheduled to arrive on the 5th day, but it was now the 7th day, and they couldn’t see even a single figure.
Zhou Gang sent a freshly brewed tea to Hu Feng and said: “His Royal Highness, is it possible that the heavy snow in front of the mountain has blocked the mountain, and they can’t make it, so it was delayed?”
Hu Feng shook his head: “This snow is not too big. How could it be possible to seal the mountain just 2 days ago? It’s definitely not because of this.”
