Dawn breaks at Mao hour and the spring sun rises.
The world is still in the haze of dawn. Behind the inn, Mu Qing and his party are saying a quiet farewell.
"Senior sister, I leave it to you, Miss Fanrou."
Mu Qing stood in front of a carriage and looked at the cold-faced Ning Chu with a smile.
Ning Chu ignored Mu Qing, but treated the others with a smile. She gently helped Lu Fanrou get into the carriage, then turned around and asked calmly: "You really don't need me to go?"
Mu Qing said seriously: "I really don't need to trouble Senior Sister to accompany me all the way."
Last night's incident caused people to panic. While Liu Weirui and the others were waiting restlessly in the hut, Mu Qing and her senior sister Ning Chu climbed through the window from the back of the inn.
After everyone went from alertness to acquaintance to enthusiasm, they also had a deeper understanding of what happened in recent days.
They never expected that one family killing and another family killing would have a deep interaction because of the special positions of Mu Qing and Tieguzhai.
While Liu Weirui and the others were worried about the caravan's return journey, Lu Fanrou felt a little embarrassed because of her untimely happiness.
Because she had learned from Ning Chu that the two people she had been most worried about might have arrived safely in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
The joy in her heart could not be expressed. Lu Fanrou showed off her chivalrous feelings and toasted Ning Chu nine glasses of wine. She said that in addition to her own three glasses, she also toasted three glasses each for Bai Jiahe and Xu Zuo. The fuss came to the end. Everyone tried to persuade him, but he couldn't stop it. As his energy and blood surged, his injuries recurred.
That's why there was a scene where Ning Chu was supporting her to get into the carriage.
She lowered her head, the hangover blush on her cheeks still lingering, and apologized heartily to everyone: "It's Fan Rou who has dragged everyone down. Senior sister Ning Chu, you don't have to worry about me, just leave me at the inn."
After Lu Fanrou got drunk last night, Ning Chu was surprised to know from Liu Weirui's mouth the hidden feelings in Lu Fanrou's heart. She sincerely hoped that all lovers in the world would eventually get married, so she already regarded her as her own family member. .
People who are close to her in the world prefer to refer to each other as brothers and sisters, so she patted each other's little hand and said with a smile: "Junior sister Fanrou, don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, this matter should still be blamed on that brat Mu Qing. .”
Mu Qing's eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched, knowing in his heart that there was no reason to talk to a woman.
He smiled helplessly and said: "Miss Fanrou, this matter has nothing to do with you. We definitely won't let you go until Senior Sister comes. But Senior Sister is here and escorts you all the way to meet Senior Brother Xu Zuo and the others."
After Mu Qing comforted Lu Fanrou, he turned to look at Ning Chu, still looking unhappy.
He knew that the other party was also doing it for his own good, so he said rather troubledly: "Senior sister, there is really no need to trouble you to accompany me for protection. The caravan will definitely have more food and sleep in the open on the way back, so you don't have to work so hard to follow."
He scratched the blue hair on his forehead that he had not had time to take care of, and said helplessly: "Besides, you just killed the leader of the escort of Iron Bone Village last night, so it's not a good idea to follow us all the way."
Ning Chu said with slight confusion: "Didn't you say last night that you still have unresolved grievances with the people in Iron Bone Village? Why are you protecting them in your words now?"
Liu Weirui on the side said softly: "Sister Ning Chu, the guard brothers of my caravan have basically stayed in Tieguzhai. When it comes to hating those people in Tieguzhai, I think I have the most say. of."
After pausing to calm down, she smiled helplessly and said: "If there were only a few of us now, I would definitely hope that Mu Qing could kill as many of them as possible. But I can't do it just to vent my anger happily. Regardless of those who survived, Mu Qing is very powerful, but he is not a god and cannot protect everyone after all."
Mu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, senior sister, after our conversation last night, you should have guessed that there may be more serious murderous intentions waiting for the caravan in the future. It is always good to have more people to protect the grooms at this time. of."
Ning Chu caught the loophole in Mu Qing's words and said dissatisfied: "Since you also know that there may be more serious murderous intentions later, it is always good to have more people. Why, do you think I am not strong enough or something?"
Mu Qing was speechless for a moment, then realized that his ability to persuade people was not as good as Liu Weirui's.
Liu Weirui pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Ning Chu, I paid Mu Qing for his efforts. If you come to protect him again, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"Puff——"
Ning Chu was amused by Liu Weirui's words. She knew that Mu Qing and the others just didn't want to owe her too many favors. They were both stubborn people. She said with relief: "Well, if it weren't for Junior Sister Shaoyao, I wouldn't want to protect you. Here’s this brat.”
After getting on the carriage, she looked at Mu Qing and said, "Before leaving, the master told me that if the caravan still encounters danger after Cao Mo dies, it will definitely not be at the same level. Among them, It’s unclear at the moment what forces are involved, but you must be extremely careful on your return trip this time!”
Wanhuagu treats him sincerely like his own family, and Mu Qing also replies sincerely: "Senior sister, don't worry, I told you what's special about me, don't you still believe in my strength after last night's battle? ?”
"Hmph!" Ning Chu's expression became much more lively, "I saw you last night, and you didn't even exert 30% of your strength. Don't think you are invincible."
Mu Qing pursed his lips and accepted Senior Sister's teasing, "Senior Sister, those people are almost awake and can leave."
Everyone chatted here for a while. At this time, the sky became brighter and some of the grooms in the caravan had already gotten up and started washing up. Ning Chu also knew that it was time to truly say goodbye.
"Master asked me to tell you that after completing this novice mission, you should go back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers first."
Mu Qing nodded, looking much more serious: "No problem."
"Yeah." Ning Chu seemed a little hesitant.
Mu Qing stared at the iceberg beauty Senior Sister in his impression, and was puzzled for a moment, "Senior Sister? Is there anything else you can do?"
Ning Chu forced a straight face and handed Mu Qing a thick envelope.
Seeing Mu Qing gently pinch the contents inside, she turned aside with a cold face, "You happen to be going to Jinguan City, so why don't you send me a letter by the way? There is an address on the envelope."
She wanted to pretend to be indifferent and turned around to leave in her car, but You Zi said uneasily: "Don't forget."
Mu Qing recalled the gossip that Shaoyao had secretly told him before, and said with a knowing smile: "I promise to complete the mission."
After saying that, he stood quietly aside and watched Ning Chu go away.
"Mu Qing." Liu Weirui said softly.
"Yes." Mu Qing felt the emotion in the other person's words, and the masculinity in his heart arose, "Miss Wei Rui, don't worry."
…
In the Liu family's study room in Jinguan City, Liu Chaoge's brows furrowed.
He looked at Ling Qingzhu, who was sitting aside and quietly sipping the finest bird tongue tea, but hesitated to speak.
"hehe."
Ling Qingzhu looked at her son-in-law, who was killing people without batting an eye a few days ago, and now he was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't help but chuckled: "What's wrong? If you want to say something, just say it quickly. I'm even worried for you." .”
Liu Chaoge calmed down the worry in his heart and said softly: "I don't know how Wei Rui is doing. Normally, she should have entered Qingchuan Prefecture long ago."
Ling Qingzhu said calmly: "I just took your essence and blood and used a secret method to find out that Wei Rui's child is not in danger. What are you worried about?"
Liu Chaoge raised his eyebrows and said, "But Zhang Zizhen has been away for seven or eight days, why haven't he met Wei Rui and the others yet?"
Ling Qingzhu helplessly said softly: "I left Xishan this time without telling your father-in-law. The matter was urgent, so I only brought two brothers, Zhang Zizhen and Zhang Zishan. They are just low-level worshipers of my Lin family, and they happen to not be very good at body skills. .”
It was rare for Ling Qingzhu to say so much. Seeing that Liu Chaoge was still uneasy, he continued: "Don't worry, Zhang Zishan also followed after helping you handle the housework. Although the two brothers are only third-grade, once they join forces, they can defeat Most of your Mugung Dynasty are second-grade."
Liu Chaoge bent down and thanked: "I'm sorry to trouble my mother-in-law about this."
Ling Qingzhu shook her head, looked at Liu Chaoge and said slowly: "You did it so brilliantly, have you figured out how to let Wei Rui come back to the Lin family with me?"
Liu Chaoge smiled bitterly and said: "No, I just don't want anyone in the Liu family to dare to do harm to Wei Rui after my death."
Ling Qingzhu said in confusion: "But if you kill them all, that child Wei Rui will no longer be the head of the Liu family."
"Yes." Liu Chaoge said calmly: "I don't want my daughter to be so tired. I have accumulated wealth for her that will never be used up in her lifetime."
"Do you think Wei Rui will agree?" Ling Qingzhu didn't agree with Liu Chaoge's approach, "Without rights, you can't keep your wealth."
Liu Chaoge nodded and said: "So I have made the last deal with them."
He looked at his mother-in-law Ling Qingzhu and said slowly: "I left 60% of the income from all the Liu family's properties to Wei Rui, but the position of head of the family was left to Liu Zhaoling of the third uncle's branch."
Ling Qingzhu saw clearly and shook his head: "Although businessmen value the spirit of contract the most, without the power of the head of the family, there is no power to manage the family property. How can you guarantee that the so-called 60% of the income will not be lost after your death?" Will it be taken back one day?”
"They don't dare!" Liu Chaoge smiled confidently and contemptuously, "That junior Liu Zhaoling can only maintain his status and doesn't have much ambition. I am determined to clean up the family this time just to show them."
Ling Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly, "The third-grade sword cultivator who is about to die was indeed a deterrent in the Mujin Dynasty and the Liu family, but after death, he is nothing."
Liu Chaoge smiled casually, took out a contract from his arms, and gently placed it on Ling Qingzhu's table.
Ling Qingzhu didn't look and asked softly: "What do you mean?"
Liu Chaoge said sincerely: "After Wei Rui comes back, it's up to her to decide whether to go to Xishan or not. Since I promised my mother-in-law, I won't regret it."
He pointed at the contract on the table and laughed at himself: "The dead swordsman is indeed nothing, so I hope you can become the supervisor of this contract. I have disclosed your identity to those who can know For them, whether you are here or not, your deterrence is enough.”
Ling Qingzhu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stared at Liu Chaoge and said, "It turns out that you have already calculated on me. It can be said that you have good intentions."
She changed her words, "But if Wei Rui comes to my Lin family, the 60% of the income will be like a drop in the bucket, so why bother?"
"Do you think Wei Rui won't follow me to the Lin family?" Ling Qingzhu thought of a possibility, "But you have done such a good job. If I don't agree to be the binding force of this contract, I think Wei Rui will understand it. stakes."
Liu Chaoge turned around, picked up the sword beside him and stroked it slowly, and whispered the reason: "Wei Rui inherited her mother's constitution, and it is difficult to practice. She must also be able to understand that Xishan, one of the top ten families in Taishi Continent, After all, the Lin family is based on cultivation strength, so it is a waste of time for her to go there."
A trace of surprise flashed across Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes. She thought of a possibility, and all the surprise in her eyes was replaced by joy.
She looked over there meaningfully and found that the delicate long sword among Liu Chao's singers was actually the one her daughter had taken with her when she ran away from home. She couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Everything in the world is unpredictable, it all depends on the choice of that child Wei Rui." Bar."
