The heat inside the house was gradually rising, and a gust of cool breeze blew in. This was a real cool breeze, but it was a pity that no one praised its refreshing effect like Murong Xiuming did.
Murong Xiu Ming's sitting posture was more upright than ever before. He didn't dare to turn his head or shake his shoulders. Jiang Shangxiu was the only one in his field of vision.
Feeling the resentment and questioning in the eyes that fell on him, Jiang Shangxiu sighed slightly in his heart. He did not stand up and express his position loudly like Chen Qing, nor did he persuade Mu Qing to put down his sword and talk properly.
Because right behind Mu Qing, separated by a wall, there was a faint aura. Perhaps only Jiang Shangxiu could detect it yet.
Chen Qing saw that Murong Xiu Ming's last glance turned into a plea. He sneered and said, "Mr. Murong, if you put your hope in Jiang Shangxiu, forget it. Since he can save Mu Qing, he will not care about your life or death. .”
With death approaching, Murong Xiuming's mind was spinning faster than ever before, thinking about the possibility of temporarily agreeing at this time. However, when he thought that he would definitely be held as a hostage, Murong Xiuming became a little discouraged and gradually gave in. : "To tell you the truth, I can even agree to dig up the entire earth spirit root and give it to you, but will it be useful? I don't have the right at all."
"Then write the book to someone who has the right, such as your adoptive father." Mu Qing said quickly.
Murong Xiu Ming laughed nervously and said, "You also know that he is my adoptive father."
The existence of the earth spirit root is related to the rise of the Murong family. Murong Xiu Ming concealed something in his words. Although he already knew that he was his biological child, he did not dare to hold out any hope.
But when he said this, his heart suddenly moved, "I can write a letter back. If I can take a shot of a skylark, it will take an hour at the fastest."
Mu Qing felt relieved, and looked at each other with Huai Cao Shi. Hua Cao Shi nodded, and walked carefully in steps. When he got to Murong Xiuming's side, he reached out and pried his mouth open.
"Um - what did you give me to eat?" Murong Xiu Ming roared at Huai Cao Shi, regardless of the fact that the sword was still on his neck.
Huai Caoshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not poison, it's just Taiqing Dan."
"Tai Qing Dan?" When Chen Qing saw that Mu Qing had put back his sword, he naturally said in disbelief: "Tai Qing Dan is just a pill that calms the mind and calms the energy to assist in practice. You are so kind."
Zhang Shaoyao snorted coldly, and the girl said quickly in her voice as clear as an oriole: "Taiqing Dan is Taiqing Dan, and kale tea is kale tea."
Chen Qing immediately looked at the tea in front of him and said coldly: "You actually poisoned the tea?"
Zhang Shaoyao didn't want to explain more and ignored Chen Qing. He walked up to Murong Xiu Ming and while cleaning the tea cups and water stains on the table in front of him, he pouted and asked him, "Are you feeling really angry now?" It's running, but your chest hurts a little?"
Murong Xiuming's lips began to turn purple, and his heart seemed to be slowly clenched by a hand. He said bitterly: "So you have planned to do this for a long time?"
Zhang Shaoyao curled his lips and said with cold round eyes: "We are polite first and then attack." As she said that, the girl took out several things from the satchel at her waist and placed them one by one in front of Murong Xiuming.
"Hurry up and write." Seeing that Murong Xiuming was in a daze, Ning Chu even dipped a purple fine-tipped pen in ink and pressed it against Murong Xiuming.
Murong Xiu Ming pursed his lips twice and suddenly felt that he could be a little tougher just now. Even Mu Qing on the side looked dumbfounded, always feeling like things would develop like this if he didn't do anything.
Before the negotiation, Huai Caoshi had imagined that if he could not obtain the earth spirit root with the concession of Wanhua Valley, he would have to find a soft persimmon.
After being poisoned, Murong Xiuming was even more honest than he was under Mu Qingjian, but he finished writing the contents of Fei Shu in just a moment.
After Huai Cao Shi picked it up and read it, he frowned and gave it to Murong Xiu Ming, "What you wrote, in the end, Zhang Lu failed to realize that your life is in our hands, isn't it harming yourself?"
It turns out that Murong Xiu Ming avoided the important matter and ignored the important matter. He only wrote that Wanhua Valley wanted to exchange a piece of the earth spirit root with huge concessions, but he avoided the important matter and never mentioned that his own life was in the hands of Wanhua Valley.
After his little idea was discovered, Murong Xiuming gritted his teeth and did not immediately make any corrections.
When he thought of his father sitting high in the Shadow Throne and looking at him with disappointment, he felt that he shouldn't have agreed impulsively just now. Ask yourself, he suddenly became cooperative just now, why didn't he want to test his father who has been as cold as a stone sculpture since he was born, and want to see what... he is worth to his father.
But as long as this letter reaches my father's hands,...
Murong Xiuming no longer dared to think about it any more. Although his lips were getting more and more purple and his heart was getting more and more painful, he struggled not to pick up the pen.
Jiang Shangxiu frowned and looked at Murong Xiuming. He was also the adopted son of the elder. He had to go through many tests to reach this point. Young people nowadays usually look decisive and ruthless, but when it comes to a real life-and-death situation, Sometimes she hesitates like a girl.
Jiang Shangxiu was able to confirm that the faint aura he captured was none other than his acquaintance that night, Bai Hu.
Murong Xiuming didn't know about the existence of Bai Hu, which was nothing more than Murong Yin's consideration for Murong Xiuming.
"Why are you standing still? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Mu Qing saw Murong Xiuming picking up the pen slowly and put the sword directly on Murong Xiuming's shoulder.
Jiang Shangxiu looked at Mu Qing and smiled helplessly in his heart. Aren't you just rushing to hand over the target?
The threat of death finally outweighed the fear of the future, and Murong Xiu Ming also added the fact that his life was controlled by the hands of Wanhua Valley.
Put your thumb and index finger to your mouth, and call a bird with bright feathers with a "shush". After folding the letter and putting it into the mailbox on the bird's leg, the bird flew out the window.
After the letter was sent away, Murong Xiu Ming stared at the clean coffee table in front of him, full of frustration: "The skylark is a bird we use to transmit information in the invisible world, and its short-distance speed is several times faster than the night cloud owl. Times, if, if the reply is timely, it will only take half an hour."
"Then let's all pray hard and pray that your adoptive father will promise to send the earth spirit root."
When talking, Huaicao Shi made a slightly anxious look to Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao. The two women left the room directly. Facing Chen Qing's questioning eyes, Huaicao Shi said coldly: "I said before, I Junior sister is currently relying on calming incense to maintain her meager vitality, and they have gone to look after her master."
Chen Qing's face felt a little unnatural, and he coughed lightly and said, "I didn't expect that the fourth elder was really in danger."
Huai Cao Shi snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to give Murong Xiu Ming a pill to alleviate his poisoning. However, he found Jiang Shangxiu frowning across from him. Hua Cao Shi immediately turned around and looked behind him.
"who?"
Huai Cao Shi's reaction was not unpleasant. In the process of turning around, he first mentioned Murong Xiuming and pushed him away for a while.
"Kacha——" A burst of energy burst out in a square inch, and the coffee table stood up in response. Mu Qing flew out, and was about to hit Jiang Shangxiu.
Jiang Shangxiu stood up and just stretched out a palm to support Mu Qing. Mu Qing didn't even have time to touch the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the ferocious white mask nervously, "White Tiger!"
Chen Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at the tall figure passing through the wall, who was it if it wasn't Bai Hu?
"Not only is there a draft today, but it seems there is also a tiger that can walk through the wall." Chen Qing said and glanced at Murong Xiuming. If this kid didn't know that he had such a big backer, it would be funny to behave so poorly now.
Murong Xiuming was unable to raise his vitality after being poisoned. At this time, he was backhanded by Huai Cao Shi. He stood by the wall near the corridor and could only twist his body in vain.
"Quick, chase that bird back." Murong Xiu Ming's lips had turned purple, but the first thing he said when he saw the white tiger was this.
Bai Hu ignored Mu Qing's burning gaze and sat in the seat in front of Murong Xiu Ming. He looked as if no one else was around and was really arrogant to the extreme.
"I will only protect your life. As for other matters, I will not interfere."
"Then why didn't you show up sooner?"
Bai Hu frowned in disgust, looked up at Murong Xiu Ming and said, "They lose their sense of proportion whenever something happens. Since they have exposed all their weaknesses, they are still being taken advantage of by others. How stupid they are."
Jiang Shangxiu sighed, nodded and said: "Detoxify him." He said this to Huai Cao Shi. Today, it seems that the bridge between the two parties must be Jiang Shangxiu. Unfortunately, he is a laborious person. What pleases you may not please either side.
Huai Caoshi's eyes were firm, and he shook his head and said: "If he doesn't get the earth spirit root, even if he dies, I won't detoxify him."
Jiang Shangxiu frowned, and Huai Cao Shi was equally wary of him.
Bai Hu said: "It doesn't matter, not dying will just make his memory more profound."
Mu Qing frowned, and after weighing the situation, he said: "Uncle, just watch him, I will talk to them on behalf of Wanhua Valley."
At this moment, Mu Qing and Murong Xiu Ming had already made a decision.
He pursed his lips, swallowed the blood into his stomach, moved slowly, and stood where Huaifenghua had been sitting.
Bai Hu raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing next to him. Although he had witnessed the speed of the "draft", he still had some doubts, "How did you recover so quickly?"
Mu Qing shook his head and expressed that he did not want to answer this question. Just now, he had contacted Meng Zhang from the selected space, and he felt a little more at ease.
Bai Hu was silent for a moment, looked at Mu Qing and said, "I don't want the Fourth Elder to be injured like this."
This main room suffered heavy damage just now. The coffee table was broken and the tea cups were broken on the floor. Behind Bai Hu, there was a large human-shaped hole. When Bai Hu said these words, in conjunction with this scene, it was really shocking no matter how he looked at it. People feel awkward.
Chen Qing silently looked at the two people who were sitting and standing facing each other, and was surprised that Bai Hu took the initiative to explain.
Mu Qing did not accept this, looked at Bai Hu, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Then can you get the earth spirit root?"
