Fengdai Tower.
This building is very well ventilated, and you won't feel stuffy even in this weather. There are ice and incense burning in the room, and there are several maids serving as Mu Huaxiao.
Mu Huaxiao was leaning on the couch, and a maidservant knelt at his feet. There was a plate of ice-cold grapes beside him. The maidservant peeled off the grape skins with her slender fingers, and brought it to Mu Huaxiao's mouth with the tips of her thumb and index finger.
His hair was spread out, and he must have been taking a nap not long ago. Another maid stood behind him, massaging his head, and a maid next to him was fanning softly. No one spoke except for the chirping of cicadas and birds.
"Father." Xu Pei entered the door and saluted. _o_m
"You're here, sit down." Mu Huaxiao said, and Xu Pei sat down after hearing this.
Mu Huaxiao raised his hand and the maid who fed the grapes put away the grapes. He opened his eyes and sat up. The maid who was massaging him also stood up and tied up his hair.
"Stand back."
"Yes, owner."
The maids packed up neatly, bowed their heads and retreated quietly.
Mu Huaxiao smiled lightly and said, "I thought Jiaojiao would pester you for a little longer, but I didn't expect you to come here so quickly."
"The eldest lady went back first when she heard that my adoptive father was looking for me."
"She didn't blame me behind my back, did she?"
Xu Pei said: "How could it be? The eldest lady has always respected her adoptive father. When the child comes back, she should first report to her adoptive father. It's better for the adoptive father not to be surprised when the child comes late."
Mu Huaxiao's tone turned concerned and asked: "I see that your face still looks a little not so good. You've had a hard journey along the way."
"I'm sharing the worries of my adoptive father. Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. It's okay to suffer some injuries because my skills are inferior to others. It's just that on the 19th floor... will it be difficult to explain?"
He has always known that Xu Pei has Mu Huaxiao's eyeliners around him. Even before he comes back, Mu Huaxiao already knows that he is coming back. However, these eyeliners never appear in the open, they only exist secretly, and they don't exist at all. There will be contact with him - even if there is, he doesn't know.
This time, he used Shen Xuan as bait, and in the name of ambushing Shen Xuan, he used other people's hands to send all the guards around him to hell. This was not a way of venting his life under constant surveillance.
As soon as those guards died, the news that Mu Huaxiao had placed beside him stopped for a moment, but when they entered Shuzhou City, he felt that feeling coming back.
He is very good at this kind of spying on others, and the feeling of being spied on by others is also very familiar.
So according to his guess, Mu Huaxiao only knew that he ambushed Shen Xuan, which led to his own death.
Because all you need to do is investigate.
But about other things, he doesn't know that clearly.
For example, Wei Ke.
Mu Huaxiao paid a lot of money to hire killers from the 19th Floor to "escort" him, but they all died on the road. He still doesn't know how the 19th Floor will settle the bill.
Mu Huaxiao smiled and said nonchalantly: "As you said, it's normal to get injured if your skills are inferior to others. Don't worry about these little things."
"Yes." Xu Pei didn't want to tell him when he saw him saying this.
"Do you know who did this to you? Besides Shen Xuan."
"My child is stupid. It was raining and dark that day and I couldn't tell."
Mu Huaxiao was wondering who Xu Pei encountered for the first time on his way to assassination? They ambush Shen Xuan and even mobilized a group of medicine men to hide there. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Do they have other reinforcements? Are these the same people?
He asked again: "Did you decide to ambush Shen Xuan?"
Xu Pei knelt down directly, leaned over and said, "Xu Pei felt that the opportunity was rare and made arrogant decisions, so he asked his adoptive father to punish him."
Mu Huaxiao sat on the couch in silence. The atmosphere in the room became more solid every second. Mu Huaxiao asked, "Are your junior brothers injured?"
"The junior brothers were also injured, but Shen Xuan did not kill them. Instead, he took them forward together. When I woke up, the relationship between the junior brothers and them was not bad."
"How many people are around Shen Xuan?"
"Shen Xuan, Cheng Sui, Lan Zhao and Fu Cheng, but I didn't expect that Shen Xuan's cultivation has improved so much."
He talked about Shen Xuan.
His tone was a little cold, and when he hid Kui Ke and Mi You, Mu Huaxiao did not become suspicious, as if everything was as he expected.
"Well..." Mu Huaxiao tapped the cup with his fingertips and did not continue the topic: "Which thing you said was done?"
"Haier has reached an agreement with several sects over there, and our people have also been sent over to help them. We just have to wait for the opportunity to launch together."
"good."
"One more thing..." Xu Pei lowered his eyes, seeming to be thinking about how to say this.
"What's the matter?"
"I brought the saint back."
"!!!" Mu Huaxiao was startled at first. He stood up and walked around the room twice. His face was mixed with various subtle emotions of joy, surprise and disbelief, and his mood rarely showed fluctuations.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! Okay!"
He clapped his hands and laughed, and said hello three times in a row. It was obvious that he was very excited. Mu Huaxiao patted Xu Pei's shoulder and said, "Why are you kneeling now? Why don't you get up! You are really my good boy. Tell me who you are." How did you do it?"
Xu Pei picked out some truths among a bunch of lies. His tone was calm and without fluctuations, as usual.
"Hai'er knew that Shen Xuan's target was the Saint, so he set up an ambush, but he didn't expect that Shen Xuan would be so tyrannical, causing me to be injured. Fortunately, I had already asked Banmeng to take the Saint to transfer, so they didn't succeed. "
"After I woke up, they pressed me again and again, and what the child said when he was seriously injured at the time was credible to a certain extent. I told them that the saint had been sent back to Lingxiao Villa in advance, and they gave up."
"But I think they won't let it go and may come back again."
"Yes, it is not the person who is right. It is Shen Xuan's character and what he can do. The disciples of Wanhua Valley are also there. The ancestral motto of Wanhua Valley is not to ignore death." Mu Huaxiao nodded and took a look. Xu Pei, I don’t know whether to say he was lucky or not. Although he was seriously injured, he escaped.
"how is she?"
"Because the child prevented her from escaping and drugged her to control her, she forced herself to exercise that day to exercise her internal strength and fell into a coma. She has not woken up to this day."
"Find a few more reliable people to watch her."
"yes."
Mu Huaxiao smiled and was obviously in a good mood. He said to Xu Pei: "Go back and rest. I will ask Doctor Huang to take a look at you later."
"Thank you, foster father."
"I'll ask someone to invite you to come and have dinner with me tonight. Jiaojiao has been looking forward to it for a long time, and I can't let her down."
"Yes, thank you foster father."
Before reaching the door, Mu Huaxiao suddenly asked again: "You won't regret it, right? After all, you have known each other since you were young..."
Xu Pei turned around and stood up Wen Ran said: "My foster father is too worried. If my foster father hadn't saved me, Xu Pei would not be where he is today."
Mu Huaxiao smiled and nodded without saying anything, Xu Pei saluted and left again.
When Xu Pei walked out of Fengdai Tower, the door of Fengdai Tower was closed. This was Mu Huaxiao's intention to see no one.
He knew that Mu Huaxiao was going to that place to meet that person again, and that the passage was inside Fengdai Tower. He looked back at the closed door, and when he slowed down a little, eyes were focused on him.
He smiled mockingly, his adoptive father's side was really impregnable and impregnable.
...
The news of Banmeng's return also spread among their group of sisters. She had stayed in the Western Region for two years. The rankings of the women in the courtyard were high and low, and some came and went.
When Ban Meng entered the courtyard, someone looked at her overtly or covertly. At first, she thought she was sent to such a far away place because of the owner's wishes. However, the first few places were always empty and no one took them. Thinking of her coming back at this time.
The rumor that her ranking was vacant was completely shattered as soon as she came back. Banmeng's ranking was still the highest, and no one dared to challenge her for the time being. _o_m
She returned to the house. There was an old smell in the house that had not been occupied for two years. She opened the doors and windows to let some air in. When the sunlight came in, she could see the dust floating all over the house.
She brought a basin of water and sprinkled it on the ground first, then took a cloth and skillfully cleaned the house. There were no servants to help clean up their house. They were servants to begin with.
.
She originally thought she could be clean, but she didn't expect that someone would come to greet her as soon as she came back. It was not embarrassing for a woman to come uninvited in front of everyone.
Eleven held the sheets and quilt covers he had changed in his hands and said, "I think you haven't gone to pick up these things when you just came back. I just happened to have some clothes, so I picked them up for you."
Ban Meng glanced at her as if he hadn't heard anything. Eleven raised his chin and asked, "You wouldn't let *** stand at the door on such a hot day, would you? Where to put the things?"
Ban Meng had just wiped the bed. She wiped the sweat from her cheeks. The water vapor on the bed was evaporating. Ban Meng tilted her head and said, "Put it there."
Eleven came in and deliberately closed half of the door. She put the bedding and covered half of the window, thus blocking half of the sight outside.
"Is something wrong?" Ban Meng asked without raising his head. He couldn't really be here to deliver something.
"This position has been empty for two years, and everyone thought you were dead. @" Eleven chuckled, his voice gentle and pleasant.
Banmeng frowned. Although she was not here, it didn't mean that her news was blocked. She didn't like Eleven for no other reason - the owner of the village was too close to her.
Two years ago, Eleven's ranking was still Top 31. Banmeng stopped what he was doing and looked at Eleven's face. He was indeed very similar to Ruan Xianbei and had extraordinary courage. No wonder he was promoted to Eleven in just two years. .
But strangely, she was not angry. She almost lost her temper in the second half of the journey. She was still thinking about that rainy night. By the time she returned to Xu Pei, Ruan Xianbei was already unconscious.
She looked at Eleven's face and shook her head. Their appearance was similar, but their eyes were so different.
"Have you met her?" Eleven saw that she was unmoved and noticed something was wrong. Banmeng's temper had always been bad. After her sister and partner died half-awake, she became even more irritable and often disagreed with her. Just fighting, everyone speculates that this is one of the reasons why she was sent to the Western Regions.
However, she deliberately provoked Ban Meng, but he just stared at her face for a long time without saying a word or making a move. This thought subconsciously came to Eleven's mind and he asked it out.
"Have you seen it before?" Ban Meng said. She threw the rag into the bucket and took it out to splash the water. At the same time, she reopened the windows and doors. She stood in the yard and swept the yard without hesitation. A circle of people going up and down.
"I'm back. You can do whatever you want. There is only one thing - don't disturb me." She said this with arrogance, but she did have such arrogance.
She has been in this position since Eleven when she was still unknown, and she is still in this position now. Although her body looks like she is no more than a teenager, who can really treat her as a teenager.
After Ban Meng finished speaking, she returned to her room. She asked Eleven to go out unceremoniously, but Eleven curled her lips and left first.
She then closed the door. This familiar yard and unfamiliar people were really annoying. .
