The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 77

At night snowy days, the sky is so dark and the air temperature is at its lowest point. If most people choose to warm themselves on a bed of coals, unlike someone wearing black clothes who is now walking under the snow. As he stepped, his foot left a trail on the snow, but it quickly disappeared.

Her thick clothes hid her petite figure. If you look closely, no one would have thought that behind the coat was a woman.

He walked under a tree in the middle of the forest. He opened his mouth to speak for himself.

"He wouldn't have noticed if I put the GPS on that outfit, would he?"

A small white fox seemed to curl up comfortably on his shoulders. When he heard a voice, he rubbed his head against the woman's neck.

"Does anyone know what GPS is?" The white fox that turned out to be the system spoke in a rhetorical tone.

The figure behind the robe, Xie Hongyi, raised the corner of his lips. "Of course not."

Well, it feels pretty fun bullying people who don't know the technology yet. Xie Hongyi smiled inwardly.

Previously Xie Hongyi had indeed placed a tracking device on the clothes Xiao Zhang was wearing, so even if he ran away, Xie Hongyi would always know where he was going.

Xie Hongyi took out his hand that was hidden under a robe. His hands were not empty, he was holding an LCD screen that showed a single silent red dot in place. It was the location Xiao Zhang was at and Xie Hongyi was now heading to that place.

Xie Hongyi had suspected that Xiao Zhang was in the Xiao family's hiding place. Before carrying out the attack on the family tomorrow, Xie Hongyi wanted to do something. Although this method is considered cheating, but in any battle, everything can be done to achieve victory.

Not long after that he arrived at the foot of the mountain the Xiao family's hiding place. Xie Hongyi tried to step deeper into the foot of the mountain, and he found a lantern light shining on the wooden pole. Among the wooden poles, there were several burly men with swords in their hands pacing back and forth.

Without a sound, Xie Hongyi confirmed his hood and walked towards the side. He made use of the darkness of the night to disguise his figure. He walked slowly to the blind spot of the guards, so that no one was aware of his presence.

Gods blessed him. The inside of the hideout turned out to be deserted. Xie Hongyi sighed in relief. He then walked slowly, then entered into a room and began to execute his plan quickly.

Inside the other room, Xiao Zhang who had already taken off his female clothes and changed into a simple cotton cloth, stood next to the round table. In front of him was Xiao Feng who was also standing. One middle-aged man's hand was placed on the table, and the other pointed at a paper on the table. The paper was a simple map of the Northern Kingdom territory. There were some black cross marks indicating that the area had been successfully controlled by the Xiao Family.

"Tomorrow we will attack the mines west of the Palace. Some troops have already started to go there. At dawn tomorrow, we'll catch up with them."

Xiao Zhang nodded when he heard his father's words. There were already several royal-owned mines that they had captured, and the one they were about to attack this time was the largest mine and was one of the main resources of the Southern Kingdom.

Hearing his father about to attack the main mine, Xiao Zhang was convinced that the middle-aged man had already made a mature plan.

Suddenly, his sharp senses caught something else moving on one side of the building. Xiao Zhang shouted.

"Who's there?!"

Xie Hongyi did not panic when he found out that he was caught. He then stepped away from there. Looking back, there were already a few men chasing him. Instantly the quiet and silent night became noisier with the sound of running footsteps.

Knowing that an intruder had made it in, they wanted to immediately capture and interrogate what the intruder was here for. But, they had to bite a finger because the intruder managed to escape with a shrewd look.

Xiao Zhang, who was chasing after the intruder, stood up in annoyance in front of the gate thinking about who the intruder might have been and who sent it. Most likely it must be from the royal side. It seemed like he had to act quickly before the royal party knew what they were going to do. "Dad, we better attack the mines tonight."

Xiao Feng also thought the same thing. "Alright, all the troops are getting ready soon, we're going to attack the mines tonight." He said with a distinctive tone of his leader before everyone in front of him.

Everyone answered simultaneously. "Good chief!"

After that, the burly men who were mostly bandits were busy preparing weapons and carrying supplies. They were alive and big under the foot of the mountain, so they were very familiar with this mountain and knew which way to go even if it was night.

But, what they did not know was that the intruder had done something on the path they were about to cross.

Huang Long picked up a cup of green tea on the table and started sipping slowly. The taste of the tea was bitter, yet there was not the slightest change to his face as his mouth was filled with tea water.

Huang Long spoke slowly. "So, if that's true, he should have a relationship with Prince Yu's wife."

"really? But what does the Madam have to do with Prince Yu's wife?" Dugu An who was kneeling beside him asked.

After some time, Dugu An finally decided to call Xie Hongyi as Madam, Huang Long seemed to be very close to the woman.

Huang Long opened his lips. "That's just a guess." But in his heart he was very sure of it.

Back when he was a child maybe a year or two, the Kingdom was still ruled by his great-grandfather, Huang Bingshu. At that moment, there was one event that made the whole situation go awry.

He heard from his nanny that one day, his great-grandfather went to the North to ask for peace. But unfortunately the Northern Kingdom refused and Huang Bingshu was killed on his way home. Then not long after, word circulated that the Xu family which was one of the big families in the South colluded with the Northern Kingdom committed treason. The younger brother of his great-grandfather immediately acted to look for evidence, and the results found several things that showed the Xu Family had been in contact with the Northern Kingdom.

In one night, the entire Xu Family was successfully killed. But some say that the youngest daughter of the family managed to escape and until now has never been found. Gradually the news sank with another event, the rebellion carried out by the brother of great-grandfather Huang Long.

Seeing the figure of Prince Yu's wife today, Huang Long was unwilling to think back about the rumors.

Xie Hongyi returned to the inn at a third of the night. He was careful when stepping his legs so that no one would be disturbed. Xie Hongyi then glanced at the door beside him which was Huang Long's room. He must have slept, Xie Hongyi guessed.

Slowly she opened the door to her dark room. When he lit the candle, he almost screamed when he realized there was another figure in his room. "Your Majesty?" Xie Hongyi exclaimed.

Huang Long leisurely sat on the bed. His gaze was always fixed on the wooden door in front of him. After the figure he had been waiting for finally came, his eyes displayed a slight ripple.

The room that was only illuminated by a single candlelight became silent, perhaps even the sound of falling needles would be heard.

Huang Long finally made a sound. "Where?" Huang Long seems to love doing monosyllables.

Xie Hongyi tried to avoid Huang Long's gaze. He knew he couldn't lie to the man. But now he had no choice but to not say where he was going. He was sure Huang Long would be suspicious if he told the truth. He pretended to be relaxed by stepping towards the table that was near the bed. Xie Hongyi then took out a cup then poured water from the teapot. His hand then stretched out to hand the cup to Huang Long.

The man's eyes initially stared at the cup that Xie Hongyi was thrust into, then turned to look at his face.

"I know that Your Majesty must know that I lied. So, I chose not to tell you where I was going." Xie Hongyi chose the option to say directly that it would not tell the man.

Huang Long's forehead frowned, his face looked displeased. The man then took the cup that was in Xie Hongyi's hand, but he did not drink it, but instead he put the cup back on the table. Huang Long then stood up. His tall body covered Xie Hongyi's entire body so it looked like there was only one person. Xie Hongyi felt like he was a child in front of him.

Huang Long said in a deep voice. "Who are you really?"

Xie Hongyi's heart seemed to fall as Huang Long asked the question. Ah, it turns out that guy already suspected her. If she were to say that she was Xie Hongyi the daughter of the Xie family, Huang Long would definitely know she was lying. Then what should he do now? Xie Hongyi was completely confused.

There was no change in Huang Long's voice as he spoke again. "Because you don't want to tell His Majesty where you're going, at least tell me who you really are. Why would the daughter of a medical family know the strategy of war? And also, when you come, try maybe to hide your presence in the Palace."

That's because I've done the OOC. It was very desirable for Xie Hongyi to answer like that. But he knew Huang Long would definitely not understand. Xie Hongyi scratched his non-itchy cheek. His eyes look in any direction. "What is His Majesty talking about? I don't understand at all."

Huang Long asked once more. "Take it honestly. Who the hell are you?"

There's no other choice. Xie Hongyi sighed. "No matter who I am, one thing is certain, I have no ill intentions towards Your Majesty. Everything I do is for the Southern Kingdom." He's not lying. Is it true that this is all for Huang Long who is the Emperor of the Southern kingdom?
