Chapter 24 His Woman
Although it's not in the imperial palace at this moment, but still in the high pavilion guarded by many soldiers, this man can come in so easily and freely, his martial arts skills are indeed immeasurable.
"Leopard!" Even Meng Yuntian, who was not easily surprised, had a few more astonished expressions on his face at this moment. When he looked at the masked man, his eyes seemed to sink slightly. This person always did things in an extremely strange way? Why is he appearing here now?
"Step on the feather?" Bai Yichen also almost exclaimed at the same time, no one had ever seen the true face of the Hunting Leopard Alliance Master, because he always wore a mask, and this mask became his symbol.
Meng Yuntian and Bai Yichen were both people who had the fate to see this mask. The silver mask covered his entire face, making it impossible for anyone to discern even a hint of his expression.
He still wore a mask in front of the emperor, and it had to be said that he was indeed arrogant, but at the same time, one couldn't help but admit that he did have the skills to back up his arrogance.
The emperor was also secretly shocked, and his eyes deepened with a few more cautiousness. This person was indeed not easy to provoke.
It is said that the emperor of the Daxi Dynasty last time somehow offended him, and the Daxi Dynasty almost disappeared overnight.
This man is in Jianghu, but all the monarchs are afraid of him.
"Bù jīng yǔ cān jiā huáng shàng." However, he bowed forward with extreme politeness, although his voice was somewhat cold. Although it was just a slight bow of the hand, it was the etiquette of the Jianghu.
"Bu Shao Xia needn't be so polite, it's just that I didn't expect Bu Shao Xia to come here suddenly today..." The emperor's eyes flickered, and he was even more at a loss. Logically speaking, the Xuan Yuan royal family and Bu Jingyun didn't have much of a relationship, so Bu Jingyun's sudden appearance was...
"I've already made it clear that I'm here to discuss expenses." Jian Fengyu spoke straightforwardly, his low voice still carrying the innate arrogance that allowed him to refer to himself directly in front of the Emperor.
The emperor's expression was slightly stunned, and the corners of his eyebrows involuntarily twitched upwards. "I, the Xuan Yuan dynasty, have no connection with Bu Shaoxia, so I find it puzzling that he would do such a thing."
The emperor didn't mince words either. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He couldn't just take in such a large sum of silver for nothing, and from this person at that.
"Heh heh..." Bu Jingyun suddenly let out a soft laugh, although he was wearing a mask and his facial expression couldn't be seen, that clear voice was indeed a laugh.
Meng Yuntian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously felt that the smile seemed too abrupt, seemingly not quite fitting for him. Faintly, it seemed to have a few hints of...
"To be honest, there's really no close relationship between us." His laughter subsided, and he seemed to mutter in a somewhat helpless tone, "Alas, isn't it all because of that woman of mine?"
His words really stunned the three of them, how did this involve a woman again?
What does the expense have to do with women?
"Take a few steps back, if there's nothing else, please leave." Meng Yuntian's eyes sank, and then he spoke in a cold voice, the low tone carrying an irresistible majesty that was honed from years of battle.
He knew this man was not to be trifled with, but the Xuan Yuan dynasty was also not one to be made a fool of.
The emperor was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Meng Yuntian to show such strength at this moment. His eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
"I've long heard of your reputation, Lord. Today I see it for myself, and indeed the name is not in vain." Bu Jingyu looked at Meng Yuntian, without a hint of annoyance, but instead praised him generously.
"It's too much praise." Meng Yuntian's voice was still cold and couldn't hear any emotions, but his eyes had become more vigilant. "Shaoxiaoyou has something to say, just speak directly."
"Hahaha...". Bu Jingyu laughed out loud again, but this time it was a hearty laugh, and the smile was much more genuine than before. "Young Master is indeed straightforward, well, since that's the case, I'll be frank too. Actually, it was my woman who asked me to donate this sum of money."
"A woman?" The emperor was stunned again, involuntarily exclaiming in a low voice. In this ancient era, women held a low social status; no matter what the issue, men had the final say. How could he, on such an important matter, listen to a woman?
Bai Yichen's eyes also sank slightly, and his eyes showed a clear disdain.
Meng Yuntian's eyes, however, flashed with a sudden pang of pain, without any surprise. If she had asked him to do something, no matter what it was, he would have done it. Unfortunately, she had left too early.
"Yes, my woman said that I should pay for this expense and then ask the Emperor to return her freedom." Bu Jingyun said in a low voice again, but his words were even more confusing.
His woman? Let him come and reclaim his freedom?
What kind of logic is this?
"It's like this, I recently fell in love with a woman, unfortunately, she was already given to someone by the Emperor. We met and fell deeply in love, both of us willing, and we decided to spend our lives together. So, my wife said, let me first bribe the Emperor, then ask the Emperor to give her freedom back." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Bu Jingyun explained kindly.
As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned again, and the guard behind the emperor's lips twitched violently.
Meng Yuntian seemed to come back to himself slightly, his eyebrows twitching up for a moment, but he didn't have much of a reaction.
Bai Yichen's eyes sank again, this man seemed to be not as fierce as the rumors said, but instead had a somewhat muddled and confused feeling.
The emperor's face changed several times. He had heard many flattering words, but it was the first time he had ever heard someone speak so boldly and confidently about coming to bribe him.
Although his words sounded like a joke, the Emperor still asked in a low voice, "Then I wonder who the woman Shi Shaoxia is talking about?"

Second time.
"Is it robbery again?" The man narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a hint of a smile, his expression unclear and unfathomable.
This time, he wanted to see where she could escape to?
"Alright, alright." She smiled brightly with sparkling eyes.
"Not thinking of taking advantage of the situation?" Looking at her with a calm and serene smile, his lips curled slightly, and a hint of unusual color floated in his deep eyes.
"There's a 'husband' at home who is so charming that he can overturn the country and the city, how can I possibly flirt with others outside? When I go out, my 'husband' warns me, don't pick those wildflowers by the roadside, my 'husband' is waiting for me to come back...". She suddenly stopped smiling, her face turned serious, her expression as solemn as possible. Before she even finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Do you still want to escape?" The next moment, he leaned forward, firmly locking her in place, his voice clearly carrying a hint of gritted teeth.
This time, if he lets her escape again, he won't be Baili Xuan anymore.
