Chapter 290: Muhammad’s Invitation

Translator: LiamHW

Song Qinghan almost got the same reaction as shocked as the mixed-race man was, yet in fact he got a more complicated mind inside.

“Everything alright by your side?”

The mixed-race man nodded, and he suddenly uttered as he looked forward into the direction behind Song Qinghan, “He comes either.”

Song Qinghan got tense in mind suddenly, knowing that the man had already known the presence of Wu Dahu here, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want from us then?”

Noticing that Song Qinghan was being nervous there, the mixed-race man glanced at him without any expressional change, and answered peacefully, “You are my savior, you don’t have to worry that I will get you in trouble at any time. Get him over here, it will be dangerous out there if he is recognized.”

Upon seeing the man’s sincere face and hearing the words of his, Song Qinghan eventually chose to believe him after a short while of pondering, and then he nodded backward to the crowd. After Wu Dahu arrived, he uttered again, “Xiaoyan saved your life, there’s no need to hide up in front of his brother.”

Wu Dahu nodded. Seeing a gloomy look on the mixed-race man’s face, he said in a low voice, “Xiaoyan died for me, and this is the fact I cannot deny. I will accept your blaming if you really think that it is my fault, but Han is totally out of this event.”

“I never intend to talk about my brother’s death.”

The mixed-race man interrupted directly while glancing around, and then motioned the servant behind him to push his wheel into the tent.

As soon as Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan got inside the tent as followed, the mixed-race man spoke again, “You guys should leave here tonight, or otherwise you won’t be able to leave anymore if Muhammad find your existence.”

Song Qinghan paused and asked hesitantly, “Why? Why aren’t we able to leave? Does Muhammad intend to kill us?”

The mixed-race man laughed all of a sudden after taking a glance at the duo, and he answered in a low voice, “I think you guys have no idea about your own values.”

Wu Dahu seemed to be the first to react, and then he asked straightforwardly, “Could you pease arrange a carriage for us to leave? In addiction, Hening isn’t under a perilous situation, right?”

The mixed-race man nodded without hesitation and affirmed, “Muhammad is not like Mork at all, although they are all the same in that they will do anything unscrupulous for the sake of the end, Muhammad is quite nice when he treats his subordinates or the people close to him. As for the carriage, I dare not arrange it as Muhammad’s informer will find it out, so you will have to trouble yourselves to steal it, but don’t worry, I will send someone to disrupt their sight as much as possible to facilitate your movement.”

What he said was a great encouragement for Song Qinghan since he knew that Hening would be fine in this situation, and that meant their trip here wasn’t in vain at all. After all, their only aim here was to make sure that Hening was safe, so as for their depart time, they would definitely listen to the mixed-race man.

Wu Dahu followed behind the servant of the mixed-race man. Yet to his surprise, just at the moment the servant reached out to unveil the tent, someone was caught in sight right at the door.

The mixed-race man frowned as his pupils shrank suddenly, “This is the reception feast, why are you leaving and not hosting?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that Muhammad had to entertain the Qingmu team, he wouldn’t have summoned Song Qinghan over so blatantly, no one would have thought that Muhammad would be so sensitive as to follow him even for a moment’s absence!

Muhammad took a glance at Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan, and then he raised his eyebrows, delivered a smile as if he was cheerful to greet his old acquaintances again, “It’s been a long time! You guys have earned your reputation, haven’t you? Even me as the ignorant and ill-informed villager know the fact.”

This, however, was indeed out of his sincerity. Even though he had known this duo long time ago, he did not realize that they were so potent and powerful that they were able to make such a success, while one of them was a genius to govern the troop and the other got prowess in medicine. They were, doubtlessly, a pair of couple rare and hard to obtain.

And right at this moment, what he lacked most was talent.

Noticing that Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan did not say anything but stood there, Muhammad did not push them to show their attitude but murmured himself, “However, you guys are not showed in the list of the accompanying team but you showed up here. So I guess you may have bore a mission on you or are concerned about something of the Infanta Hening. But you will never choose to leave so urgently if you have bore a mission on you, so…”

Song Qinghan frowned slightly and answered in a low voice, “What do you want? If you intend to use the safety of Hening as a threat to us, you are making a wrong plan.”

“Of course not, I am just speculating. After all, I still need some time to figure it out and find a solution to deal with everything since I come here so urgently. Since so, let me make it clear right now. In fact, I want you two to stay, and you are allowed to require any reward if you wish as long as it is acceptable.” answered Muhammad, shaking his head and smiling.

“You promised me the same before, and now my wish is to send them off, can you satisfy me with that?”

To Muhammad’s surprise, the mixed-race man suddenly said with his face rather calm, seemingly he was not afraid of Muhammad at all.

The atmosphere obviously quietened down as soon as he spoke, and the next moment everyone in the scene fixed their gaze on Muhammad, waiting for the answer.

Even though Muhammad looked a bit sullen upon hearing the words of the mixed-race man, he tried his best to restrain and answered in a peaceful tone, “What you request should be working on yourself, why do you choose to put it on them? Besides, the proposal I mentioned just now is nothing hazardous to them at all.”

The mixed-race man did not even show any discernible changes on face, and he responded decisively, “What if I insist on using the chance on them?”

Noticing that the atmosphere between the two was a little off, Song Qinghan coughed lightly and took the initiative to break in and say, “Our staying will be nothing beneficial to your Empire Mu at all, and in addition my family is in Qingmu instead of here, it is impossible for us not to go back…”

Sensing that Song Qinghan had the intention to relent, Muhammad said with great certainty, “I will send my subordinates to bring them over, you will see them before noon tomorrow.”

However, the mixed-race man chuckled suddenly and uttered, “You never care about the thoughts of the others, aren’t you afraid that you will lose everything in the end?”

Muhammad’s brows furrowed and his face sank as he said sternly, “Xiaofan! You know what? One of the biggest wishes of Xiaoyan, your brother, was to find you and the other was to assist me to complete my great cause. Your persistent blockage is actually against his will!”

Xiaofan still did not give an inch and said with a cold face, “His wish was to live to see your great work come to fruition, not to turn into a wisp of a ghost and watch from heaven!”

They were right now both furious with a sullen face just like a pair of powder kegs ready to explode. Song Qinghan glanced around in the tent and felt that the cause of the dispute was not him and Wu Dahu at all, but a long-standing conflict between them that had been triggered by mistake.

And then to break the dreadfully tense situation, Wu Dahu broke in and uttered abruptly, “How about this, we will go back to our family first and negotiate with the other family members and see if they are willing to come here with us. If your subordinates just go there and bring them here without preparation, it is rather unfair.”

Muhammad paused for a brief moment, and then he answered half dubiously, “If I let you go, will you consider coming back?”

Wu Dahu answered calmly and honestly, “Not fully sure if I will come back or not, but I will definitely consider about it.”

After he returned and resigned from his official position, he would be free of any ties wherever he went, and if Muhammad really wished them to come, it was not impossible for them to consider and settle in Empire Mu.

Song Qinghan also thought of this, so he added, “You have to at least convince us if you are eager to keep us staying. Or you should show your great virtue and make us believe you, otherwise why should we come here bearing a crime of treason to our original country?”
