Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 506 Shall we pretend to be that couple?

Mu Yun Chu had originally intended to ask her for her opinion on when to get married, but now, he made his decision immediately!

Once A-Yue's coming-of-age ceremony is over, he will propose marriage and get married as soon as possible!

The sooner the better. Do you know how hard he's been waiting?

Seeing Gu Qingyue still stroking her chin in confusion, Mu Yun Chu felt relieved.

Just let A-Yue do what she wants and wait to marry me; she doesn't need to worry about anything.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pinched Gu Qingyue's smooth, fair face. "What identity do you plan to use in Zhucheng?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue immediately put the wedding plans aside, "How about I dress up as a medicinal herb merchant?"

Their previous appearances had just been seen in the capital of Nanzhao, Wanhua Valley, and Shenxian Valley, so the identity of the Silver-masked Asura definitely cannot be used here.

Mu Yun Chu shook her head. "Why would a medicinal herb merchant try to steal a treasure, especially a master?"

Gu Qingyue choked, "That's true."

It is said that the Wizarding Temple will also send people to participate in the treasure hunt. Those who want to get close to the Wizarding Temple are very likely to participate as well. There are not many merchants with good skills. If they are too outstanding, they will arouse more suspicion.

"What do you think?"

"Have you heard of Duyang Ridge? There's a mountain villa on Duyang Ridge called Meilin Villa, where a young couple lives..."

Mu Yun Chu began to tell the story in a gentle and detailed manner.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched as she listened. "So, it was actually just a bandit stronghold that robbed and plundered people?"

"It can be considered both righteous and wicked."

"Shall we pretend to be that couple?"

"Yes, they saved the life of the current chief of the Hacha tribe, so we can take advantage of that."

"The Hacha people are the family of the Queen of Nanzhao? And the maternal family of the eldest prince?"

Mu Yunchu nodded.

If that's the case, then that's perfect. Getting closer to the eldest prince would be equivalent to getting in touch with the Wizard's Palace.

"There's a problem: will that couple actually come? What if we dress up as them and run into them?"

Mu Yun Chu's lips curled up, "They're in Dark Wolf now."

"You arrested them?"

Gu Qingyue was curious: why did this guy arrest someone beforehand just to protect their identity?

She picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, quite admiring that this guy had such foresight.

Mu Yun Chu smiled and said, "They were originally members of the Dark Wolf organization."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue almost spat out her tea!

So, was this a hidden move he made on the Nanzhao side?

It's inconspicuous, but very useful.

Surely that life-saving grace was also arranged on purpose?

She wanted to give a thumbs up.

Seeing Gu Qingyue's expression, Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair. "Let's go, Madam, let's eat first and get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, which earned her a pinch on the cheek, her doting affection evident in her expression.

Gu Qingyue: ......

After traveling for several days, I can finally get some rest.

Early on the third day, a large crowd had already gathered at the foot of a magnificent pagoda outside the south gate of Zhucheng.

Men and women, young and old, were all present; some were talking loudly, while others were whispering, creating a noisy scene.

If there was anything special about it, it was that a portion of the people were gathered at the foot of the tower, while the majority stood on the roadside about fifty meters away from the tower, watching the people below.

Below the tower, there were groups of young and middle-aged people dressed in the traditional costumes of various ethnic groups, as well as some people who came to participate in the heavenly sacrifice, all looking very energetic.

The treasure hunt before the Heavenly Sacrifice is about to begin.

Gu Qingyue, Mu Yunchu, Qin Fang, Gu Yuanen, and Zhang Qingxuan all attended.

Of course, they also brought Mu Dong and Yue Ling with them.

Who told them to have so many tokens!

Whether it's from an auction, a gift, or something you smuggled from someone else, as long as you have a token, you can participate.

Today, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu disguised themselves as a young couple.

The man's surname was Rong, and he was called Young Master Rong. His wife was a natural beauty, and she was called Madam Rong.

They've only been standing there a short while, and already quite a few people are peeking at them.

In particular, Gu Qingyue's character, Madam Rong, was not only stunningly beautiful, but also had a graceful and slender figure, which made many men unable to look away.

Mu Yun Chu was very unhappy; he regretted disguising himself as the Rong family couple.

Seeing his expression, Gu Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Who told you to have such a beautiful woman in your Dark Wolf gang!

The arrow is on the string and must be released; now that we're here, it's too late for regrets.

Gu Qingyue turned to look at Gu Yuanen and Qin Fang. They had also changed their appearances and looked completely different from before, which was quite amusing.

Hearing the increasing noise, more people arrived at the foot of the tower.

Looking around, Gu Qingyue saw groups of two or three, mostly young people.

Some looked serious, seemingly determined to win this treasure hunt.

Some looked relaxed and carefree, clearly there to have fun and join in the fun.

Amidst the jostling and crowding, Gu Qingyue unexpectedly spotted a familiar face.

Mo Shaoshang! She immediately wanted to go over and say hello, after all, they were acquaintances.

They had also agreed to meet at the Heavenly Sacrifice in Zhucheng.

But as soon as she took a step, Gu Qingyue stopped. Her current appearance was that of Madam Rong of Meilin Manor, not Gu Qingyue.

Oh dear, I almost gave myself away.

Mu Yun Chu naturally noticed that Gu Qing Yue had just been a little excited, as if she had seen something.

He squeezed Gu Qingyue's small hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked silently.

Gu Qingyue pointed towards Mo Shaoshang.

Now, Mu Yun Chu naturally saw it too.

Mo Shaoshang was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with a tall guard beside him. What was his name again? I think it was Liu Yan?

On his other side, there was a shorter young master, dressed in white brocade, with chubby cheeks and fair skin, his big, dark eyes looking around.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched. Who else could this be but the adorable Mo Xiaoliu?

She's here too?!

Now is clearly not the time for reconnecting and catching up; let's wait until it's all over.

"This Zhouxin Pagoda is built by the river and backed by Meigu Mountain. It's really auspicious!" Zhang Qingxuan, who was waiting nearby, was bored. He fanned himself with a folding fan, looking every bit the dashing and debonair young gentleman.

“Yes, indeed, the Zhouxin Pagoda on the banks of the Qiujiang River is a unique sight in Nanzhao. It’s a pity that it’s enclosed within the royal compound, so it’s not so easy for ordinary people to visit,” Qin Fang replied, fanning himself with a flourish.

Over time, these two friends of Mu Yun Chu have become close friends and talk to each other much more than before.

Hearing their conversation, Gu Qingyue suddenly remembered that when Mo Shaoshang invited her, he had mentioned the Zhouxin Pagoda on the banks of the Qiujiang River, saying that the scenery there was indeed unique.

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to climb up and enjoy the view!

"Distinguished guests! Welcome to the grand quinquennial event of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Heavenly Sacrifice..."

It was a quarter of an hour later when an official, supposedly from the Ministry of Rites of Nanzhao, gave a lengthy introduction to the Nanzhao Heavenly Sacrifice ceremony.
