Chapter 87
It was a cold night, and when ordinary people were sleeping soundly and sweetly, a spacious and tall hall in the corner of Wuyu Hall was filled with bright lights.
This place was originally a flower hall used to cool off in summer, but after Mu Zhengming left with his son, the surrounding exquisite doors and windows were all nailed up with thick wooden boards, making it as closed and gloomy as a huge coffin.
It seems that You Guanyue didn't have time to tidy up the place. The hall was empty and deserted. Only seven or eight jade screens as high as a person were used to surround the surroundings, with three or four armchairs placed in the middle.
Mu Qingyan sat in one of the armchairs, and Sun Ruoshui sat in an armchair a few steps in front of him. When she first came here, she wanted to sit next to her son, but she just dragged the armchair. Mu Qingyan glanced over, and the two maidservants standing nearby pinned Sun Ruoshui in place as if they were hammering nails.
Sun Ruoshui whimpered for a long time, and saw that her son hadn't moved at all. She bit her lips and had to sit still - her son was very different from his father, Mu Zhengming, and she didn't know how many times she realized this.
"...The misfortune of the Nie family that lasted for several generations was finally wiped out by you in one fell swoop. Our ancestors must be proud of you. Alas, your mother left you in your infancy and caused you to suffer so many grievances. Among them I don’t want to talk about my difficulties anymore. It’s up to you to hate your mother or blame your mother. Just one thing, you have to take good care of yourself and let your mother know that you are safe and healthy, then your mother will be satisfied.”
She chatted for a long time, but Mu Qingyan always looked cold, his mind was wandering and he didn't hear his mother's 'concern' at all.
Seeing this situation, Sun Ruoshui felt secretly resentful.
But she is a woman who is aware of current affairs and patient, otherwise she would not have been chosen by Nie Hengcheng to pretend to be Master Sun's daughter to get close to Mu Zhengming. Although Mu Zhengming has a good temper, he is not a fool who falls in love with a beautiful beauty.
After she came to Mu Zhengming's side, she did not go too far for two or three years. She never acted coquettishly or tried to use beauty to seduce others. Apart from seriously asking Mu Zhengming to learn how to read and write, she only occasionally confided in her a few words of helplessness and desolation about being left alone after her family died. It was only in the fourth year that Mu Zhengming relaxed his guard against her.
She knew that her son was ten times more troublesome than her ex-husband, but so what?
She has a lot of hard work. If she can't do it in one day, it will take a year. If she doesn't do it in one year, it will take ten years. As time goes by, that grudge will eventually fade away. What's more, they are mother and son, and she doesn't believe that her son can imprison her for the rest of her life.
She continued to confide: "They say I left you and my son for the sake of glory and wealth, but who knows what I'm going through. That beast Nie Zhe looks like a human, but he has such shameful habits. My days with him are almost like years." …”
"You didn't know until later that Nie Zhe was as good as Long Yang." Mu Qingyan suddenly said, "When Nie Hengcheng was alive, Nie Zhe didn't dare to show it at all. After Nie Hengcheng died, but before he took power, Nie Zhe Zhe didn't dare to act recklessly. It wasn't until Zhao Tianba and Han Yisu were defeated by the Qingluo River, and the rest of the Nie family finally took control of him, that he began to sneak around. It wasn't until he captured Elder Yuheng, bribed Elder Tianshu, and established Hu Fengge As Elder Tianji, he felt that his position was stable, so he kept a lot of male favorites - before that, even if he lost his temper, he still loved you as an ordinary wife. "
Mu Qingyan's eyes were as cold as the moon, and Sun Ruoshui could not hide from the sarcastic gaze, as if she was being stripped naked for interrogation - she did not expect that her son would investigate the past so clearly.
"Mrs. Sun, you'd better save your words. You'll have to argue with me later." Mu Qingyan looked away indifferently.
While talking, You Guanyue arrived. Behind him, two burly men worked together to lift a pair of recliners. The people on the recliners emitted a strong smell of blood, mixed with the stench of rotting flesh, and let out waves of painful groans.
Sun Ruoshui looked up and almost died of fright.
Nie Zhe was only half a person left.
Yu Hui cut off one of his arms and one leg in order to stop the poisonous effects of the bone-corroding Tianyu. However, due to delayed treatment in the underground grotto, the poisonous water was still slowly corroding his body, so the doctor had to cut off another half of his body. shoulders and thighs to the groin.
In addition, there was also a large bloody hole on his cheek, and there were countless rotten holes under his ribs. The whole person looked like an evil ghost being tortured in hell, it was extremely miserable and terrifying.
Sun Ruoshui didn't know the consequences of the previous situation. He just thought that Nie Zhe was transformed into such a dehumanized state by Mu Qingyan. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, "You, you, if you hate him again, just kill him. Why bother?" , Why bother..." Her teeth chattered and she couldn't continue.
Mu Qingyan ignored him and instead walked to Nie Zhe, "I have sent someone to ask the ghost doctor Linshu. Your life can be saved, so don't pretend to be dead. I know you have already When I woke up, my mind was very clear."
Nie Zhe slowly opened his eyes, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask."
"It's much more pleasant to talk to you than to talk to Mrs. Sun." Mu Qingyan smiled, "Okay, you are seriously injured, and I will do the rest. You just nod and shake your head or hum a few times. "
Nie Zhe snorted coldly.
"More than a year ago, I staked my position as the leader and invited you to duel." Mu Qingyan put his hands behind his back and took a few steps sideways. "Although I pretended to be frightened at the time, in fact, I had already figured out the depth of your cultivation. , knowing that you are by no means my opponent, I was determined to win. Unexpectedly, the result was beyond my expectation. Not only was I seriously injured, but I was also poisoned. Everyone knows that Nie Dai’s Five Poison Palms are indeed amazing, so I had no choice but to He was wounded and ran away."
Nie Zhe rolled his eyes.
"But I knew something was wrong. During the duel, I vaguely realized that I was poisoned first, which caused my movement to slow down, and then you hit me in the vital point - but when was I poisoned? After I set foot on your territory I was careful not to give anyone a chance to poison me."
Mu Qingyan frowned, as if he had gone back to the time when he was full of doubts, "I have never seen the real Five Poison Palm. I only heard that when the Five Poison Palm is practiced to the transformation state, the palm wind is also poisonous. I thought it at the time. You usually pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, so I was poisoned by your power unknowingly. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is useless to talk, so I have to admit my defeat."
"However, after escaping from the Hanhai Mountains, I met a person who really practiced Five Poison Palms - although his practice was not very good, it was indeed the authentic Five Poison Palms. I exchanged seventy or eighty moves with that person, and my doubts became more and more serious. Big." Mu Qingyan turned back to look at Nie Zhe, who was half lying on the bench, "His kung fu skills are very different from yours, so I suspected that your Five Poison Palms were fake - you and I fought against each other again yesterday, and sure enough, As I expected, you haven’t mastered the Five Poison Palms at all.”
Nie Zhe's face stained with coagulated blood became increasingly ugly, but Sun Ruoshui's face sitting next to him turned out to be even uglier than him.
"Since you haven't mastered the Five Poison Palms, let alone carrying poison in the wind of your palms, where did the poison on my body come from?" Mu Qingyan kept a close eye on the man and the woman, "There is only one possibility. Someone gave me the poison in advance. I poisoned me, calculated the duel time, and then made it look like I was defeated by your Five Poison Palms. However, I was very guarded against you, so how did you poison me?"
"You are so smart, is there anything in the world that you can't guess?" Nie Zhe sneered, his throat was burned by the poisonous water, and his laughter was rough.
"This is not something difficult to guess." Mu Qingyan looked at Sun Ruoshui coldly, "I left Busi Zhai four years ago, with my sword pointed directly at the position of leader. From now on, no matter what you two say, I don't believe a word of how close and warm the relationship is. Only once..."
Rage gradually filled his eyes, "Just two days before the duel, Mrs. Sun said that my father's relics were to be handed over to me. I didn't want to see her, but she said that they were cast for me by my father himself. The sword..."
Mu Zhengming had no interest in power, so he spent all his time on various miscellaneous studies, including reading, painting, sculpture, calligraphy... he dabbled in everything. After Sun Ruoshui gave birth to a son, Mu Zhengming personally forged a sword for his son.
At that time, Mu Zhengming was young and energetic, focused on nothing, and his physical skills were at their peak. The long sword was like a clear spring, blowing the hair and breaking the hair. The ancient divine swords are juxtaposed.
Not long after the sword was cast, he was attacked and had to hide to recover from his injuries.
When he was living in seclusion on Huanglaofeng, Mu Zhengming wanted to make another sword for his beloved son. However, after being seriously injured, he could no longer make a satisfactory sword, so he often lamented that if he could find the "Fu Ying" 'Enough.
It's a pity that until Mu Zhengming passed away, 'Fu Ying' was not recovered.
So when Sun Ruoshui used the sword as bait, Mu Qingyan knew it was wrong, but still couldn't suppress the desire in his heart.
"After I retrieved 'Fu Ying', I checked it over and over again, and there was nothing unusual." Mu Qingyan said, "But I was still worried, so I threw away the scabbard..."
Nie Zhe suddenly laughed, "No wonder you were able to save your life. It turns out you threw away the scabbard."
"So, you asked Mrs. Sun to put poison on the scabbard?" Mu Qingyan said calmly.
Sun Ruoshui's face was pale and his whole body was shaking, "No, no, no, it's not me, it's not me..."
"It's not poison." Nie Zhe said with a ferocious smile, "I know you are a very clever kid, and ordinary poisons can't be hidden from you - it's Suzixiang! Suzixiang is colorless and odorless, and it is non-toxic in itself. However, once it comes into contact with Qianxunmu, When mixed together, it becomes a highly poisonous substance. I soaked the sword and scabbard in the incense for several days in advance. When the duel day comes, I will ask you to sit on a high chair made of Qianxun wood. How can you not Fell into a trap!”
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, "Hahahaha, in fact, you should have thrown away the sword as well. The sword body is made of fine steel, and the scent of Suzixiang is difficult to absorb, but the hilt is wrapped with many gold and silver threads. You Still got tricked..."
Mu Qingyan lowered his eyes: "It is true that I should throw them all away, but I can't bear to throw away the sword that my father worked so hard to forge."
Nie Zhe was very proud and endured the severe pain in his body, "I didn't expect that the sword that almost killed you was the sword made by your father and sent here by your mother! Hahaha, I think you are really the one who will kill your whole family." Damn Lone Star’s fate!”
Sun Ruoshui burst into tears, "No, no, I don't know, I don't know that the sword is poisonous, Yan'er has to believe in mother..."
"No, you know." Mu Qingyan interrupted him, "On the day of the duel, in order not to make me suspicious, Nie Zhe replaced several of the main chairs with Qianxun wood. No matter where I sat, I would be hit. Nie Zhe and the others have never touched Su Zixiang, so they are not afraid of Qianxunmu, so they can sit on it with confidence. But you, not only did you refuse to sit down, but in the end you even pretended that you couldn't bear to watch our duel and resigned early."
"At that time, you and Nie Zhe were at odds with each other, and his male favorite even mocked you in public several times. With your temperament, you wanted to see Nie Zhe beaten to death by me. How could you not bear to watch the duel? Now that I think about it, it was because You came into contact with Su Zixiang when you gave me the sword, and you were worried that you would die if you came into contact with Qianxun Mu."
Sun Ruoshui knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Yan'er, please forgive mother. Mother is cowardly by nature and was forced by this thief. This thief is not a human being. Mother is afraid..."
"Mrs. Sun, please stop being modest." Mu Qingyan said quietly, "You are a top-notch craftsman from Tiangang Disha Camp, and you are not so courageous. Even if Nie Zhe threatens and forces you, if you have the intention to remind me, with a look or a word, There’s always an opportunity—but you didn’t.”
Sun Ruoshui was speechless.
"But this is really strange. Why did you poison me?" The young man didn't care about his biological mother kneeling on the ground and frowned to himself. "At that time, you and Nie Zhe had been falling out for several years, and the situation was changing. The sun is getting worse. It's because I never thought about fasting, and Nie Zhe wanted to show off to me, so I made you live a life of silk and satin again."
"No matter how weak the relationship between mother and son is, as long as my father's will is there, I will always let you live a life of wealth and comfort. No matter how you calculate it, you should expect me to defeat Nie Zhe, so why help me?" Are you asking him to poison me?"
"What leverage did Nie Zhe use against you to force you to come and poison me?" he pressed.
Sun Ruoshui's body was like chaff, his face was ashen, and he was speechless.
Nie Zhe thought thoughtfully: "So you're not here to settle the debt for poisoning you? You, you are here to pursue another matter."
Mu Qingyan looked up at the roof beam and said in a gloomy voice: "Father said that I was born to Mrs. Sun in October and had abdominal pain for several hours. This kindness cannot be forgotten. If Mrs. Sun just wants to kill me, I will At most, we can just keep her under guard."
He looked at Nie Zhe and said, "May I ask Master Nie Dai what reason you used to force Mrs. Sun to poison me."
"No, no, you can't, you can't..." Sun Ruoshui became excited and waved her hands to Nie Zhe.
Nie Zhe didn't even look at her, only stared at Mu Qingyan with jealousy - tall and tall figure, strong and tight arm muscles, strong waist, handsome face, fresh and moving breath, the whole person was as perfect as a statue Young god.
But he himself was gradually dying in the constant rotting stench. He said gloomily: "If I tell you, what good will you do to me?"
Mu Qingyan opened his mouth and said, "I can guess it even if you don't tell me."
Nie Zhe was stunned.
"My father created the 'Innate Qi Shou Qi Breath Adjustment Technique' by himself. After years of recuperation, he has actually gradually recovered." Mu Qingyan said, "Unexpectedly, one day his injuries suddenly worsened and he passed away six months later. Before he died, my father said it was him. I deviated from my practice, which resulted in me falling short and being seriously injured."
"But over the years, the more I practice the 'Innate Qi Guarding and Breathing Adjustment Technique', the more I realize that this technique is peaceful and righteous. Even if I fail to practice it, it is at most no merit and no fault. How could it backfire and lead to my death?"
Mu Qingyan slowly walked to Sun Ruoshui's side, his eyes filled with a strong and sinister aura.
He grabbed her hair, pulled her up and asked, "Mrs. Sun, let me ask you, how did my father pass away? You were so cruel that you poisoned me, will you also poison my father?"
"Father believes that the love between mother and son comes from nature, and feels that I am very pitiful without the care of my mother. He can't bear to see me throwing away the things you gave me every year, and he often leaves a few things for me to think about - will you take the opportunity to The stuff that was delivered was poisoned?! Did you kill my father! And then Nie Zhe used this to force you to poison me?!"
When he said the last sentence, he threw his biological mother away hard.
Sun Ruoshui saw the cold murderous intent in his son's eyes and broke out in cold sweats.
She has encountered many changes in her life, but never this dangerous one.
When Mu Zhengming was dying, he had actually guessed that it was his ex-wife who had poisoned him, but he didn't mention it. Instead, he advised his son to leave the Hanhai Mountains as soon as possible, stay away from power disputes, and live freely from now on. He even asked his son to provide for his ex-wife in her old age in the future.
Sun Ruoshui only hated Mu Qingyan for why he couldn't be as kind and kind as his father, but instead responded with cruelty and cruelty. As soon as his father died, he came out to compete for the throne of the leader - but then again, until Mu Qingyan came out of the mountain four years ago, no one in the cult knew his temperament.
Sun Ruoshui knew the deep love between Mu Qingyan and his son. No matter how many wrong things she did, Mu Qingyan might not kill her. But if Mu Qingyan knew the cause of Mu Zhengming's death, she would die happily. It's all luck.
She was speechless when she wanted to argue, but Nie Zhe burst into laughter: "You didn't expect that your own mother poisoned me to death! Hahahaha, what a joke! The Mu family, who had been away from the religion for two hundred years, actually came out like Mu Zhengming. Waiting for a coward to suffer and be manipulated by others all his life, and finally die inexplicably, hahahaha..."
Sun Ruoshui stood up suddenly and screamed: "It was Nie Zhe, it was Nie Zhe who ordered me to kill your father! You can't blame me, you really can't blame me, he forced me to do it! If I didn't poison your father , he is going to let people come and harm me! Yan'er, you must believe in mother, she didn't mean it..."
Nie Zhe's face changed and he cursed: "You slutty, slutty cousin, when did I ask you to poison Mu Zhengming to death! Don't even think about trying to evade the accusation! Look at your rotten skin, I'm in vain I can’t even find someone to fuck you even if I pay for it!”
Sun Ruoshui heard Nie Zhe's dirty words in her ears, and saw her son's cold, disgusted and murderous expression in front of her eyes. Her mind was in chaos - if it weren't for Nie Zhe, she would never have left the infant Mu Qingyan to do anything. Fair wife; if it weren't for Nie Zhe, when Mu Zhengming came back to pick up his son, he would have followed him to Huang Laofeng Busi Zhai.
Although the life of Bu Si Zhai was miserable, as long as she endured it for a few years, when Mu Qingyan grew up and took back the position of leader, she would immediately become a high-ranking concubine, enjoying endless power and wealth.
It's all Nie Zhe's fault, yes, it's all Nie Zhe's fault!
In a rage, she pulled out the hairpin with force, rushed forward and stabbed Nie Zhe in the throat.
There was a bang, and Nie Zhe's laughter was cut off midway, and blood splattered from his throat.
Although he was devastated by Bone Corroding Tianyu, he was a martial artist after all, and he still had some cultivation. He used all his remaining skills to fight back with his palm - with a snap, Sun Ruoshui was hit in the chest. His palm was knocked straight away, and he fell to the ground and passed out.
In the silent, deserted hall late at night, the only sound left was the sound of wind hissing out of Nie Zhe's throat.
Mu Qingyan looked at this scene coldly, "...Everyone, please come out."
Several people walked out from behind the tall jade screen - Elder Yan Xu of Yuheng, Elder Hu Fengge of Tianji, Yu Huiyin, and You Guanyue who did not exit in time.
Yan Xu and Yu Huiyin originally intended to speak for Nie Zhe in order to save his life, but now they listened to the whole scene and couldn't say a word except shaking their heads and sighing.
Hu Fengge looked at Sun Ruoshui, who was still breathing on the ground, with a complicated expression. She knew that all the charges were easy to explain, but there was no way Sun Ruoshui could survive the poisoning of Mu Zhengming.
Looking at the moon like a coptis, he felt bitter in his heart - he didn't want to know too much about his master's secrets.
"Everyone has heard this." Mu Qingyan said, "I will deal with these two people next, please don't say anything." After saying this, he turned and left.
Old Yan stood blankly for a moment, then suddenly caught up with Mu Qingyan, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Young Master, listen to me. A man must have the power!"
