Mu Sheng looked at the grief-stricken woman in front of him. He knew very well that the bad relationship between them had ended here. How could the hatred between country and family be easily dismissed with a smile? Mu Sheng asked himself, even if he were to put himself in Hua Zilan's shoes, it would be impossible for him to spend his whole life with peace of mind as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, although Mu Sheng was reluctant to let go, he knew that he could not keep Hua Zilan because she was born as a member of the Yunhua Sect and died as a ghost of the Yunhua Sect. Many of her teachers, from playing to growing up, Her brothers and sisters all died in that catastrophe, and a few light words of retribution could not save her.
Hua Zilan was able to devote herself to him before because he was just an idle member of the clan and had no chance of becoming the emperor. Today is different from the past. He is already the son of the Jin Dynasty, and his identity has changed.
This seemingly glorious dynasty was extremely evil in Hua Zilan's eyes. Since Mu Sheng became emperor inexplicably, he had to bear a lot of resentment and the historical debt left by the previous generation.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
At this moment, Mu Sheng finally understood the meaning of this sentence. Mu Sheng shook Hua Zilan's jade hand and sighed softly: "Zi Lan, if I had known this, I should not have agreed to Huo Xiangguo's succession and let Huo Xiangguo inherit the throne. It would be better for him to choose another wise master than to lose you, but now he has no choice but to retreat, alas!"
Hearing this, Hua Zilan rushed into Mu Sheng's arms and choked with sobs: "Husband, I am satisfied with your words. Zi Lan is not wrong about the person."
Mu Sheng hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, maybe this would be his last embrace.
Mu Sheng said to himself: "Zi Lan, I really can't bear to let you go."
Hua Zilan nestled in Mu Sheng's arms and whispered, "I can't bear to leave my husband, but I have to go."
Mu Sheng said: "Where are you going from now on? Are you going back to the Fuxing Meeting?"
Hearing this, Hua Zilan raised her head and looked at Mu Sheng, then shook her head and said, "I won't come back to the meeting, and I don't know where I'm going. Maybe I'll just wander around in the future!"
Mu Sheng hugged Zi Lan tightly, he just wanted to cherish every moment now.
Suddenly Hua Zilan broke away from Mu Sheng's arms and turned around to go to the inner hall. She only heard the rustling sounds in the inner room. When Hua Zilan opened the door, she saw that she was wearing the maid uniform that Mu Sheng had given her in the past.
Hua Zilan wiped away her tears, sat in Mu Sheng's arms again, and murmured in his ear: "Husband, don't you like to see me dressed like this? I want a child, just for the two of us. Don’t worry, kid, I will raise him well, but I won’t let him know who his father is!”
Mu Sheng closed his eyes after hearing this. He took a deep sniff of Hua Zilan's hair and said in a low voice, "Okay, Zilan, I promise you. I sincerely hope you will have a good life in the future."
After saying this, Mu Sheng felt Hua Zilan's fragrant lips coming to his lips, and he kissed her deeply without hesitation...
Early the next morning, outside Qingyang City, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan rode together to the river bank.
Hua Zilan turned her head and took a deep look at Mu Sheng, as if she wanted to keep his image in her heart forever, and said, "Husband, there is no need to see you off, I'm leaving."
Mu Sheng looked at her retreating back and suddenly stopped her and said, "Zi Lan, I have something to give you before I say goodbye."
Mu Sheng handed the gold medal he carried to Hua Zilan and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, maybe it can help you."
Hua Zilan did not refuse, maybe this thing might be her only thought in the future, she took the gold medal and said: "Thank you husband."
Mu Sheng said: "I have sent you off for a thousand miles, but I have to say goodbye eventually. Take care of yourself."
Hua Zilan nodded slightly, then went to the shore and boarded a ferry without looking back.
Hua Zilan looked back at the man on the shore, and finally said to the boatman: "Set the boat."
The boatman said: "Come on..." and then he vigorously raised his oar and rowed to the other shore.
As the boat went further and further away, Mu Sheng sighed and said with emotion: "A lonely shadow on the cold river, old friends in the rivers and lakes, why should we have known each other before we meet..." After saying this, he turned his horse's head and returned to Qingyang.
On the ferry, Hua Zilan also sighed, thinking of all the past events between her and Mu Sheng. She thought that it was just to avenge Shen Baili's ruthlessness that she threw herself into Mu Sheng's arms without hesitation. She didn't expect that until today when they parted, She could no longer erase the shadow of that man from her heart. She recalled the absurdity of the two men last night, her face turned red, and she caressed her belly unconsciously. She didn't know if she could be pregnant with his child...
At this moment, Hua Zilan became alert. A strange flow of water outside the ferry suddenly flew onto the ferry. The flow of water rapidly changed and gradually formed a human shape. It was obviously a very advanced water escape technique among the five elements.
The person appeared, and he was also dressed as a wanderer. He looked like a man in his early twenties. He had a smile on his face, and carried a special-shaped scimitar on his back. The blade exuded a strong sword aura. It was obvious that It is also a magic weapon-level treasure. Its aura is vaguely similar to Hua Zilan's, and it is obviously also a master-level master.
The visitor said: "Zi Lan, you have made me look for you so hard for so many years. Since you failed in Yue County last time, there has been no definite news about you. Later I found out that you are working for Anlehou. , at first I thought you had successfully penetrated into the core of the imperial court's powerful people, but I didn't expect that you actually committed yourself to becoming Anlehou's woman. I really don't know if Shen Baili would be very sad if he knew about this."
Hua Zilan snorted coldly and said: "What does it have to do with the man I'm with? I've broken up with him long ago, Ji Zhao, stop talking about useless things." It was obvious that the two were old acquaintances.
Ji Zhao chuckled and said: "Okay, then I will give you something useful. Elder Lei of the Fuxing Meeting heard that you became the wife of Anlehou, and now Anlehou, this idle young man, has become the son of Dajin again. Today is different from the past, you If you have the opportunity to enter the palace and become the woman beside the emperor, we Chen Guo Fuxing Association will need you to be our insider."
Hua Zilan sneered and said: "When I fell into Yue County, you didn't help me, but now you see that I have value, and you think of me again? Humph!"
Seeing Hua Zilan's change of expression, Ji Zhao knew that Fuxing would owe her a lot, and his tone softened, saying: "Alas! You don't know that our manpower in Yue County was also entangled by the emperor's old man who sent Baishou. We didn’t know how we were exposed, so in order to protect ourselves, we had to evacuate Yue County first.”
"We were too hasty to withdraw at that time and didn't bother to inform you. You also know how difficult Baishou's gang of imperial hawks are. We didn't expect that with your strength, you could be easily captured by the former prince's people. At that time, we We thought you had fallen, so we didn't go to support you. It wasn't until you went to find Shen Baili Reunion that we learned your exact whereabouts."
Hua Zilan's face looked much better after hearing this. She knew that Ji Zhao could only believe half of Ji Zhao's words. Who knew if the big bosses within the Renaissance just regarded her as an outcast.
Hua Zilan sneered and said, "Why should you let me be your insider?"
Ji Zhao said: "Your identity is very important to us now. You also know that the Tsing Yi envoys have always been too wary of us, the old and the young of the Seven Kingdoms. There are also old monsters from Baishou in Qingyang City. It is impossible for our people to penetrate into the imperial court." The powerful and powerful class in China finally tolerates exceptions like you. Our Renaissance Association does not want to give up this opportunity and hopes that you can take the overall situation into consideration."
Hua Zilan sneered and said: "None of the men in the revival meeting are useful, so you have to rely on me, a weak woman, to stand in front of you. That Elder Lei, a grown man who cries all day long, knows how to drink away his feelings about the past and the past. Worry, if I don’t do anything serious, the Chen Kingdom has been destroyed for so many years, can it be said that he can bring the country back?"
After hearing this, Ji Zhao's face turned green and red, which obviously caused him to be scolded.
Ji Zhao also knew that he could not offend the woman in front of him, so he had to defend Elder Lei: "Zi Lan, you also know that the reason why our revival society can still maintain its current status is inseparable from the strong support of Elder Lei. The past generations of heads of the Lei family have The successive ministers of Chen State have not been able to see the power of the family. Our Chen State Revival Association has lost the support of the Lei family and will be in dire straits. I hope you can understand our difficulties."
Obviously, the Elder Lei mentioned by Ji Zhao is not only the leader of the Revival Association, but also the top brother of the Revival Association. Although his abilities are average, he is the father of the funder behind the Revival Association and cannot afford to offend him.
Hearing this, Hua Zilan chuckled and said, "Okay, I understand your difficulties. With people like you, it will be difficult for our Chen country to recover in the future."
Ji Zhao had no choice but to tactically ignore Hua Zilan's taunting words and continued to persuade: "Fellow Taoist Zilan, what have you considered?"
Hua Zilan said, "I'm sorry, you're late. I can no longer be the emperor's woman."
Ji Zhao frowned and said, "What? Fellow Taoist, what do you mean by this? Have you been targeted by Bai Shou's people?"
Hua Zilan said: "Anlehou became the emperor, with three palaces and six courtyards, and there were so many beauties around him. When he got tired of playing, he naturally forgot about me, the old man. Do you still expect me to go?" Be his woman in the palace? To Anlehou, I am just an insignificant one among his many women."
Ji Zhao had a strange look on his face and said, "Is it just a physical relationship between you two? Is it... nothing else?"
Hua Zilan said calmly: "Nothing else, that's all."
Ji Zhao stared at Hua Zilan's face, trying to see some flaw in her expression. Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he said: "Fellow Taoist Hua, don't try to deceive me with lies. You and I have known each other for many years. From Shen Baili's In terms of matters, I can see that you are very dedicated to your relationship, and it is unlikely that you would just go to Wushan with someone who has no romantic relationship. You must be hiding something from me."
After hearing this, Hua Zilan didn't talk nonsense. She just took out the fire-attribute magic weapon that Mu Sheng gave her from behind and said, "Look at this magic weapon. How much is it worth?"
Ji Zhao shrank his eyes, looked at it carefully, and said: "This is a top-grade magic weapon, worth at least 200,000 gold. The fire attribute is especially rare. If it flows into the underground auction house, it will cost at least 250,000 gold. Even if it is sold, it will cost at least 250,000 gold." The price of three hundred thousand gold is also normal."
Hua Zilan praised: "Brother Ji has good eyesight. It was given to me by Young Master Sheng. It can be regarded as the reward for my dedication to him!"
Hearing this, Ji Zhao said differently: "Will you sacrifice your life for these dandies for a magic weapon?"
Hua Zilan said: "Is there anything that can't be done? You and I are both casual cultivators. Without the support of the sect, it is difficult to get a magic weapon, unless one reaches the state of the four-phase reunion."
Hua Zilan glanced at the sword-shaped magic weapon behind Ji Zhao, and said: "Didn't you hook up with Elder Lei's daughter for this magic weapon before you got what you wanted? If you can do it, why can't I? Humans , as long as you think about it, there are many ways you can take it, right?"
Ji Zhao used himself to save others, and he almost believed 80% of it. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, fellow Taoist Qingming, in this case, Zi Lan, can you serve under the banner of my revival association?"
Hua Zilan thought for a long time and said: "Let me think about it. We will meet at the old place in a few days and I will give you an answer."
Hearing this, Ji Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait for your good news, fellow Taoist, and say goodbye!"
After that, Ji Zhao paused, turned into a ball of water, and escaped into the river at an extremely fast speed, never to be seen again.
