Chapter 345: Location, Loulan! All the Senior Sisters Have Betrayed!
On the Astrology Platform, the night breeze was slightly cool.
Da Shiming did not possess the star divination skills of Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess.
Nor did she have Li Mo’s ability to peer into the lives of others.
She had come here for only one reason.
That was because she had already been to the Mountain Courtyard.
“I have met the National Advisor, met the Moon Goddess,”
“met General Li Wu, and met…”
Da Shiming politely saluted the few people, and she almost called out Hu Ji’s name by habit.
But when she looked at her, she realized.
She didn’t know this person!
And she had no idea what her status was.
She knew Li Wu.
Li Wu was the only female general in Qin State and had made considerable contributions during the conquest of the Six States.
Not long ago, she had even dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu.
As for Hu Ji, she had never seen her before.
Just based on her aura, she was not an ordinary woman.
One could imagine.
Generally, how could an ordinary woman have the qualification to be among these few?
“There’s no need for extra courtesy; what business do you have with me?”
Li Mo waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to worry about Hu Ji’s identity, nor did she need to bow to her.
Although Hu Ji had already served in the palace, she was still just a maid of the Moon Goddess.
And Da Shiming, though a subordinate of the Moon Goddess, was also an elder of the Yin-Yang School.
What need was there for an elder to bow to a maid?
“In response to the National Advisor, my subordinate is here under the command of Donghuang Taiyi to inform the National Advisor that the secret of the Illusion Sound Treasure Box has been unlocked.”
Seeing that Li Mo had no intention of sending Hu Ji away, Da Shiming couldn’t ask for that either.
She could only state the purpose of her visit.
Upon hearing this, Li Mo showed no reaction.
The Moon Goddess, however, changed her expression first.
Her exceptionally beautiful and cold face showed none of her usual indifference.
“Is this true?”
To unlock the secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, one had to first crack the Illusion Sound Treasure Box.
She didn’t expect that Donghuang Taiyi had really managed to unlock the Illusion Sound Treasure Box.
Li Wu revealed a look of surprise.
She knew how significant this news was for Li Mo.
Everything Li Mo had done over the years was to uncover the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
And now, this secret was finally about to be revealed.
“Continue.”
Li Mo responded calmly, signaling Da Shiming to go on.
If Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t crack the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, then he wouldn’t be called Donghuang Taiyi!
Da Shiming glanced at Hu Ji beside her.
Clearly, the following words were not something irrelevant people could hear.
The Moon Goddess slightly turned her gaze towards Hu Ji.
Hu Ji seemed somewhat intimidated by her, and she bowed, saying, “This maid shall take her leave first.”
It wasn’t that Hu Ji didn’t want to listen, but she couldn’t and didn’t dare to.
Some things are not better known in excess.
She could clearly feel that while this National Advisor was kind to the women,
she was an exception!
The more she knew, the quicker she would die.
Having grown up in the brutal grasslands, Hu Ji understood this principle very well.
Thus, to keep her life, it was better to be more sensible.
If she truly learned something she shouldn’t know, this National Advisor would likely not show her any mercy.
Similarly, this enigmatic Moon Goddess would not either.
Only after Hu Ji left did Da Shiming understand that this woman was simply a maid of the Moon Goddess.
“Speak.”
After Hu Ji exited, the Moon Goddess addressed Da Shiming.
Da Shiming respectfully replied, “His Excellency Donghuang obtained a location from the star map displayed by the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, which is very likely related to the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.”
The Illusion Sound Treasure Box could emit different music based on the different angles of the tower.
It could also display different star map coordinates according to the different music.
This point, Li Mo and the Moon Goddess had already witnessed in the Mohist Mechanical City.
“Where is it?”
Da Shiming looked at Li Wu, who was asking the question, and slowly uttered two words: “Loulan.”
Li Wu exclaimed in surprise, “Is that place?”
At this moment, even Li Mo felt truly taken aback.
Loulan was hidden deep within the desert, like an oasis wandering in the sea of sand.
Without coordinates or a guide who knew the way, it was impossible to find that place.
And surprisingly, the coordinates hidden in the Illusion Sound Treasure Box led directly to Loulan!
Moreover, the matter wasn’t just this.
According to the memories of Bai Xianwu in Li Wu’s mind, it was very possible that when Bai Xianwu was resurrected, she returned from Loulan!
“Loulan, intriguing,”
Li Mo downed the already cold tea in one gulp and stood up, saying, “Li Wu, let’s go back and prepare.”
“Yes.”
On the battlefield, Li Wu, who had once been majestic and made the Xiongnu tremble in fear, obediently followed him as they walked downstairs.
No matter what secrets Loulan held, since the Illusion Sound Treasure Box indicated that the coordinates were there, this trip was unavoidable.
If Bai Xianwu had indeed come back from that place, then that black shadow was very likely also there.
With both opportunities and threats present, how could Li Mo find a reason not to go?
Da Shiming watched the two leave.
Before long, only the Moon Goddess and her remained on the Astrology Platform.
“It seems you have more to say.”
The Moon Goddess’s eyes, resembling the bright moon, sparkled with wisdom, as if she could see right through a person.
Her tone was not one of inquiry, but rather one of certainty.
Da Shiming quickly turned around and replied honestly, “Your Excellency Donghuang commanded that the Moon Goddess and the National Advisor go to Loulan together.”
Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess furrowed her brows, “You mean I should go?”
“Exactly.”
“Is there any explanation?”
Da Shiming shook her head, “The Donghuang did not explain, only said for you to accompany him.”
After pondering for a moment, the Moon Goddess asked, “What about my Senior Sister?”
Da Shiming, not daring to hide anything from her, could only say, “The same is true.”
Li Mo’s guess was not wrong.
Da Shiming had already visited the Mountain Courtyard before coming to the Astrology Tower.
Although she did not meet Li Mo, she had seen Fei Yan.
With Li Mo not present, she took the opportunity to inform Fei Yan of Donghuang Taiyi’s arrangements.
The Moon Goddess waved her hand lightly, “Understood.”
Da Shiming took the hint, “This subordinate takes her leave.”
Upon hearing that the Donghuang wanted Fei Yan to go as well, she had already deduced some reasons.
Donghuang Taiyi wanted Fei Yan to hide by Li Mo’s side to seize the ultimate secret of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon at a critical moment.
And now, the time had come.
However, Donghuang Taiyi probably could never have imagined that Fei Yan had already betrayed him.
And she was involved too!
