The sound of drinking tea sounded in the quiet room. Murong Xiuming put down the teacup and sighed with contentment.
"Uncle, I heard that women age very quickly when they are angry. Why do you need to vent your anger on me?"
Murong Xiuming turned a blind eye to the killing intent in Huai Cao Shi, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his narrowed phoenix eyes. Where in this world is it not the jungle of the jungle that preys on the strong?
It's a pity that for him, this kind of words are far less convincing than someone like Bai Hu standing in the shadows and showing his back.
So he rephrased it: "This is all a misunderstanding."
Murong Xiu Ming looked serious and explained: "You must know that the most injuries on Master Huaifenghua's body were caused by those who worshiped Tianshou. As for later...heh, neither the fisherman nor Mr. Baihu took the initiative to cause trouble for her. , but she has to rush forward on her own."
Murong Xiuming was a little dissatisfied with Chen Qing and Jiang Shangxiu's attitude of pretending to be deaf and mute. He glanced at Chen Qing gloomily and said with a smile: "The two uncles who watched the show silently in front of me can testify that if you want to say something to Wanhua Valley, It’s those people like Tian Shou who really have bad intentions.”
Huai Cao Shi closed his eyes, and after a moment of concentration, he opened his eyes and said word for word: "I don't have time to waste time with you here. Your conditions were mentioned at the beginning, and I just said what I can agree to. "
"But if you can't get the earth spirit root, the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley will be destroyed just because you fought so hard, and you won't even get a cent."
"Huaifenghua, you've gone too far!" Chen Qing looked at Huaicao Shi unhappily, "It's just a negotiation, where is the either/or truth? Acting on impulse will only lead to a dead end."
Thinking that the calming incense lit in the secret room would last for another half-quarter of an hour at most, Huai Cao Shi didn't dare to let any surprises appear, and was about to stand up and leave with an expressionless face.
"Wait!"
Chen Qing stretched out his hand to stop him. He could see that trying to reason with the angry woman was asking for trouble, so he quickly said: "Since the key to the problem lies in how to treat the fourth elder, as fellow disciples of Hidden Valley, everyone will naturally Try your best to save her life and see if there is anything else that can replace the earth spirit root."
The corners of Huai Caoshi's mouth were raised, full of fatigue and sarcasm, and he said: "There are several kinds of spiritual materials at the level of treasures in Wanhua Valley, but I have tried everything I can think of. You, Chen Qing, want to find one for me." Doctor coming? After all, we in Wanhua Valley prefer to make alchemy?"
Chen Qing can talk for a long time about how to make a lot of money with favors. Unfortunately, he can only ask in a consultative tone: "Is there really no other way?"
Everyone's eyes were on Huai Cao Shi, even Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao were no exception.
Huai Cao Shi let out a light "chi", shook his head and said: "There must be a way, but unfortunately I don't know it either."
When she spoke, her face was indescribably lonely.
Murong Xiu Mingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and took a sip of tea. He actually wanted to agree to Huai Cao Shi. After all, if Zheng could negotiate such good terms, his father would think highly of him, but compared to the family's forbidden land, That thing in there, these are nothing.
"Mr. Murong, are you really unable to agree? Or you can fly to the book to ask Zhang Lv?"
Ning Chu's left hand was shrunk in his sleeve, tightly holding the letter that he had not yet had time to open.
Murong Xiuming glanced at Ning Chu. The beautiful woman stood against the light. Compared with Bingqing's temperament, there was a hint of sadness. His heartbeat stalled for a moment. Compared with the rejection of others that night, Ning Chu's eyes also clearly told One thing for him: If he agrees, she will marry him.
"Well... it's a pity." Murong Xiu Ming shook his head. He really liked this woman.
In the summer in southern China, the so-called distinction between Meng and Zhong is not so clear in the face of the moisture in large and small swamps.
It was already late in the afternoon, the time when the heatstroke was at its peak. Murong Xiuming failed to calm down and naturally cool down, so he picked up the tea cup and wanted to take another sip.
It happened that a gust of cool breeze broke into the house and blew on Murong Xiuming's back. He felt extremely comfortable. Breaking the somewhat stalemate atmosphere at this time, he sighed: "In this place in Tiannan, there is no comfortable season. Fortunately, today's afternoon is still... You can enjoy a cool breeze from the hall.”
Jiang Shangxiu, who was sitting opposite Murong Xiuming, suddenly brightened his eyes, and he tried his best to suppress his raised eyebrows.
The girls in Wanhua Valley were all surprised.
Chen Qing has also stood up.
At this moment, everyone else's eyes were looking behind Murong Xiuming, and Murong Xiuming's heart plummeted to the bottom.
"Since the cool breeze in the hall is satisfying, let's enjoy it, Mr. Murong."
It wasn't until there was a sound from behind that Murong Xiu Ming clearly noticed the familiar aura of the person behind him.
At this moment, Murong Xiuming thought of many attempts to save himself, but in the end he just slowly turned his neck back.
But the person behind him didn't want to give him any room to move, and a short sword was already placed on his neck.
"Mu Qing!" A cold shout was full of momentum.
No one expected that Chen Qing was the first to shout.
This also reminded Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao who were about to say hello. They immediately rushed to both sides of Mu Qing's body and stood on guard.
The girl happily took out the sword from her waist and counted Chen Qingyao, but she couldn't stop glancing at her brother A Liang from the corner of her eyes. The "brother A Liang" that came to her lips also became "brother". Zhang Shaoyao Qing Jing asked: "When did you wake up? You are just like the master. I am almost worried about you."
Huai Fenghua tried all the methods he could think of but to no avail, while Mu Qing couldn't try any method. For Huai Caoshi and the others, these past few days were undoubtedly a cruel torture.
Hearing the girl's energetic and clear voice, Mu Qing's eyebrows softened a lot, "I've been awake for a while, but it took me some time to find you."
"Breathing can be invisible. Have you practiced the art of instantaneous invisibility to the fourth level of breathing for an instant?"
Mu Qing quickly looked towards the speaker. He had no impression of this strange man with an elegant face. He had not heard the other person's name even when eavesdropping just now.
However, although this person's eyes were bright and surprised, he was strangely not hostile.
"He is Jiang Shangxiu." Huaicao Shi noticed Mu Qing's sizing, paused for a moment and said, "After you left the secret passage that night, he was the one who saved you under Bai Hu."
Mu Qing raised his sword eyebrows, remembering that this man named Jiang Shangxiu had been blocking him from returning to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers ever since he returned to Suzaku City, and his expression was a little complicated for a moment.
Jiang Shangxiu smiled freely, shook his head and said: "I would like to accept this life-saving grace, but I know that I was reckless that night, don't you think?"
"What happened before and after I was completely comatose that night? Will Bai Hu let me go?" Mu Qing had many questions in his heart.
"You'd better let him go."
Mu Qing's eyes turned and looked at Chen Qing who was speaking.
In this room, Chen Qing was known to be a strong person in the early stage of transcendence. This person alone made Mu Qing feel a little stressed.
"Hiss—be gentle." Murong Xiuming leaned his head to the other side, and Mu Qing's hand tightened, making Murong Xiuming feel the pain of skin-cutting.
The blood dripping on his neck felt like the touch of death. Murong Xiu Ming was not restrained and did not dare to joke with his own life at this time.
Mu Qing clasped his left hand on Murong Xiuming's stamina socket, and placed the sword on Murong Xiuming's neck with his right hand, saying: "Uncle Master, you promised a lot of conditions before, right? But you didn't even want to give me any earth spiritual roots."
When Mu Qing came, he didn't listen much. If he knew that he had agreed to so many excruciating conditions, he might not be able to bear it and give Murong Xiu Ming a blow directly.
Murong Xiu Ming also knew it well. He didn't mention anything about what Huai Cao Shi promised. He gritted his teeth and said, "You want the earth spirit root, right? Can you move the sword away, and we can talk about it carefully."
"talk?"
Mu Qing exerted force on his hands, and blood flowed from Murong Xiu Ming's neck. "Did you have any misunderstanding?"
Mu Qing said in an indifferent tone: "You are in my hands now, why should I talk to you?"
Murong Xiu Ming felt that his entire chest was about to explode, and there was crazy hatred in his narrowed phoenix eyes.
"Mu Qing!!!" With a loud shout, Chen Qing stood up, pointed at Mu Qing's face, and cursed: "You bastard, why don't you let go?"
After Chen Qing finished speaking, he glanced hatefully at Jiang Shangxiu, who seemed to have nothing to do with him. If he hadn't insisted on saving this bastard that night, how could what happened today have happened.
He should have known that one thing the other party and Bai Hu could agree on was specifically to disgust him.
"What?" Chen Qing's aura suddenly rose, "Are you turning a deaf ear to my words? If you don't let me go, I won't mind taking the lead in killing your sister!"
Huai Cao Shi was already standing in front of Zhang Shaoyao, and his palm fell on the hilt of the sword. It was self-evident. It seemed that as long as Chen Qing dared to take action, death would be within reach of the tip of the sword in this small area this afternoon. Coming soon.
The anxious atmosphere quickly spread to every corner of the room. In the silent atmosphere, Mu Qing suddenly broke into a smile, and the anger in his eyes no longer showed off.
Chen Qing noticed the change in his expression and said with a look of shock and anger: "How dare you!"
The sword edge penetrated the flesh, getting closer to the thickest blood vessel. Murong Xiu Ming pursed his lips tightly and breathed heavily. At this time, he did not choose to ask for mercy.
Mu Qing's hand holding the sword was very steady. He raised his head and looked directly at Chen Qing and said, "Can we compete to sleep faster?"
Chen Qing's face became colder and colder. A businessman rarely acted emotionally. He had his own considerations in everything he did. He wanted to save Murong Xiu Ming, so he wanted to sell Murong Yin a good deal, so that he would not use him to deal with Murong Xing in the future. By targeting him with these things, he was clearly telling Murong Yin one thing. No matter what, he would still bear the surname Murong.
It was precisely because he understood the subtle relationship between the surname Murong and Hidden Valley that Chen Qing dared to walk on the tightrope. But it was precisely because he walked on the tightrope that he had to ensure that the tightrope could not be broken, and the power that united the tightrope would It was his loyalty to the name Murong.
Suddenly, Chen Qing also laughed. He sat back down and sneered: "You might actually kill him, but you can't yet! Because you still want to save that woman Huaifenghua."
Mu Qing did not deny it at all. He looked at the back of Murong Xiu Ming's neck and said softly: "What about Master Murong? Talking is impossible, but you can choose to agree or die? Well, maybe Elder Chen Qing will choose before he dies. Try to save you."
"You can also try."
