This afternoon, Murong Xiu Ming, as a hostage in a sense, was exchanged between the hands of Mu Qing and Huai Cao Shi. He was even thrown to the ground and caught to stand up again. The expression on his face was more of a reaction to Deal with the regret of not doing it right yourself.
It was only now that he saw Qinglong bringing Hengyu with him that Murong Xiuming's face showed a rare hint of fear.
As one of Murong Yin's adopted sons, Heng Yu, like Murong Xiu Ming, has joined Yin Shi. In many places, there are only so many opportunities, and there is a kind of competition between them where "the capable ones win, the weak ones win."
This is what Murong Yin told Murong Xiu Ming very coldly. Even if he has a closer blood relationship than adopted sons like Heng Yu and others, if the opportunity is given to you and you are not caught, you will still be given up.
Murong Xiu Ming clearly remembered that there were already so many adopted sons who had been abandoned by Murong Yin. These people were either dead or worse than dead, living in inhumane ways.
Compared with living, living but being given up, and facing countless unknown blows in the days to come is what scares Murong Xiu Ming.
"Mr. Qinglong?"
Heng Yu and Mu Qing behind him looked familiar, so Murong Xiu Ming naturally didn't want to see his poor performance.
Qinglong has been observing Mu Qing's condition. Seeing that Mu Qing's aura is as tall and straight as a green pine, and that there is not much pathology in his actions and words, he can't help but click his tongue in his heart, and is interested in how to win Mu Qing under his command. Murong Xiuming said perfunctorily: "The commander has told me that I am only responsible for bringing Hengyu here, and he will discuss the rest."
Outside, Qinglong still calls Murong Yin Zhang Lu.
Murong Xiu Ming's face was ashen.
Heng Yu watched with a calm face as Murong Xiuming's state suddenly collapsed. There was no joy on his face since he had come out in the first place. He said in a gentle voice: "Xiu Ming, my adoptive father asked Mr. Qinglong to get the earth spirit root to save you. I am just Just a messenger."
Murong Xiu Ming has a narrow-minded and jealous temperament, and is particularly smart and vindictive in some small things. Although they are both adopted sons, Murong Xiu Ming may not be able to understand that the surname Murong has already determined his differences. Heng Yu does not want to be betrayed by Murong Cultivating knowledge and remembering grudges.
Hearing that Heng Yu was also Murong Yin's adopted son, Mu Qing's only good impression of him had been exhausted. There was a trace of urgency in his slightly condensed expression: "Where is half of the earth spirit root left?"
Hengyu looked apologetic, put his hand into his sleeve, and then flicked his fingers towards Mu Qing. Mu Qing reached out and grabbed it, then frowned and spread it out. A white pill exuded a familiar fragrance.
"Millennium Elixir?" Mu Qing's voice was full of doubts. He had just forcefully digested half a drawer of Ten Thousand Flower Pills in the secret room. He was no stranger to this elixir that was as white as jade and exuded a fragrant fragrance.
Heng Yu coughed, shook his head, and was about to speak when he saw Huai Cao Shi twisting the elixir in Mu Qing's palm with two fingers, and stopped asking for trouble.
Huai Caoshi took the elixir under his nose and sniffed it gently, frowned, and separated the elixir in his hand with his fingers.
Mu Qing also looked over and found that the white pill was actually mixed with light golden particles. Huai Cao Shi whispered: "This is the Jie Dao Pill, and it is mixed with earth spirit root powder."
Mu Qing looked at Heng Yu and said: "Even if the spiritual materials that have been used as medicine are refined again, the medicinal properties will be irreversibly damaged. I don't believe you don't understand this."
"Brother Mu misunderstood." Heng Yu glanced at the Jie Dao Dan that was pinched in half in Huai Cao Shi's hand, and with some helplessness took out another pill from his sleeve and flicked it at Mu Qing.
"This is not prepared for Master Huaigu, but for you, Brother Mu."
Mu Qing looked at the elixir in his hand and suddenly remembered that the semi-reclusive butcher in Qingchuan Pass had eaten this mixed elixir.
Huai Caoshi whispered: "Mu Qing, we can't agree to them. I heard from my junior sister that the Jie Dao Pill is made by the Murong family using spiritual roots borrowed from the earth. If they want to break through the spiritual realm after eating it, it depends on their faces."
Huai Cao Shi hugged the cold jade box tightly in her arms. Although this weight could not save her junior sister, it could at least save her life. Huai Cao Shi did not want Mu Qing Wan Hua Gu to sacrifice so much.
Mu Qing shook his head and looked around.
I don't know when everyone came to the courtyard. Qinglong and Baihu were in front and behind. Chen Qing was also standing on his right. Only Jiang Shangxiu stood on his left in a casual position and did not block his retreat. .
There was no expression on Mu Qing's face. Heng Yu glanced at the extremely powerful encirclement and sighed inwardly.
He said threatening words in a friendly manner: "You are a smart man. This lineup that is treated with caution may not be matched by me ten years later. Since you are already so far ahead of my peers, if you are here, , it should always be full of regrets.”
At this time, Hengyu felt a little regretful that he should not have come for a trip.
Having spoken, Hengyu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "If we talk about cause and effect, you can kill a person in a high position like Deacon Lei without being punished. This is unprecedented in the history of Hidden Valley. matter."
Jiang Shangxiu frowned slightly and reminded him at the right time: "Mu Qing, don't act recklessly. Since you can get half of the earth spirit root today, you can also get the other half later."
"I can guarantee it." Qinglong spoke this time.
Before Heng Yu could finish his words, he was snatched away by the big guys, and he shrugged helplessly. Seeing Murong Xiuming looking at him jokingly at this time, Heng Yu even rolled his eyes.
Mu Qing nodded and swallowed the Jie Dao Pill in full view of everyone.
The green leaves in the courtyard are still green, but the atmosphere has obviously relaxed and flowed.
Bai Hu walked up to Mu Qing, and Mu Qing handed over Murong Xiuming.
Huai Cao Shi fed Murong Xiuming a dark pill. Looking at Murong Xiuming who was so arrogant in front of her at first and then silent, he didn't even bother to show a look of disgust on his face, "Extract yourself in half an hour."
Baihu held Murong Xiuming's arm with one hand and turned to look at Mu Qing: "Then Baihu ordered you to put it away. I will give you half a day to recuperate. I will naturally arrange tasks for you to do after that."
Mu Qing asked: "What task can I complete to get the remaining half of the earth spirit root?"
He looked across at Qinglong.
"Murong boy's life is quite valuable." Qinglong's voice was much louder than Baihu's hoarse voice.
Mu Qing heard the implication of his words and chuckled: "You mean I want to kill someone important enough? Is it possible to have someone with the same surname as him?"
There is no shortage of goals in Mu Qing's heart now. It would be best if he could turn his passiveness into his initiative and not be led by people like Hidden Valley.
The eyes of Qinglong and Baihu behind the masks met. They, the retainers, could not say anything about Duobu taking action against Murong Xing.
"If you are eager to get the remaining half of the earth spirit root, Bai Hao, the lord of Suzaku City, should be a target that everyone can accept."
Jiang Shangxiu was already standing with Chen Qing at this time, and he attracted the attention of several people as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qinglong nodded towards Jiang Shangxiu. Mu Qing was still wary of Jiang Shangxiu, but he did not pick up the topic casually.
In his first mission, he will encounter Yue Jiu and almost kill him, but Jiang Shangxiu cannot be avoided.
At this time, Mu Qing took out the token that Bai Hu handed him, "I have never asked, is the hidden killing in the three branches of Zhanglu led by your five-person hidden killing team?"
Bai Hu nodded and said: "We each lead a team. If you take this token from me, you will not be constrained by the Assassin lineage in the future, and you don't even have to do the tasks of those people listed in the Quanfu Liuyelu."
Mu Qing's eyes were a little surprised: "Can you refuse even a Class A mission?"
Bai Hu's eyes flashed behind his mask: "In addition to clearing out traitors, the hidden killing team is only responsible for secret-level tasks, and the priority of secret-level tasks is completely higher than any tasks on Liuyelu."
"Boy, Bai Hu's team is full of dull guys, how about joining my team?"
Qinglong's words made Murong Xiuming and Hengyu both focus on Mu Qing.
When Mu Qing heard Murong Xiuming calling the man with the bronze mask, Mr. Qinglong, he suddenly asked: "Kill five people in secret, what is the code name of the extra one?"
In the Hidden Valley, except for prominent figures like Jiang Shangxiu who do not take action easily, everyone has their own codename. This is also the assassin's world's protection of the true identity of the assassins.
"Murong, his code name is Murong." Qinglong's voice was a little strange.
Murong Xiu Ming lowered his head to hide the surprise in his eyes. Even he didn't know the information about the most mysterious person who had hidden the five people. He thought secretly: "Could this Murong be the elder in the family? Why haven't I heard your father mention it?"
Mu Qing's heart felt cold at this moment. He suddenly remembered the noncommittal look in Wang Yeqing's eyes and the faint "why" when he invited Wang Yeqing to join forces to escape Hidden Valley.
The strangeness in Qinglong's voice was not concealed. Could the person codenamed Murong be more powerful than Baihu and others? In the past, Mu Qing only thought that he would have a chance to escape Hidden Valley after waiting for the first rank, but now he can figure out why the Butcher Facing the revenge of destroying his family, even if he already suspected that it was Yin Gu Dong's hand, he was still waiting for the opportunity.
The yard was quiet. When Mu Qing came to his senses, he found that Huai Cao Shi was still guarding him, but there were already a few people missing.
Qinglong, Baihu, Murong Xiuming and Chen Qing had already left. Jiang Shangxiu was standing not far away, facing him, looking thoughtfully at the stone tables and benches in the backyard. Mu Qing looked at Heng, who was left alone. Yu frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
Hengyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I just hope that Brother Mu won't bear any grudge against me today, and there will naturally be opportunities for us to get along with him in the future."
Mu Qing had no expression on his face and was about to return to the secret room with Huai Cao Shi.
He feels a little uneasy now, and he expects Huai Cao Shi to be the same as him, because this is the most likely way to succeed that Huai Cao Shi can think of, and it is also the last way...
Heng Yu looked at Mu Qing's back and ignored that General Jiang Shangxiu was here. He shouted, "I have news here for Brother Yu Mu and Uncle Huai."
Mu Qing stopped slightly and heard Heng Yu say: "The outer disciples of Wanhua Valley are all concentrated in Huangsong Valley. It is expected that they will be sent back by the law enforcement team soon. Uncle Huai's disciples and Zheng Shi are also there. "
Disciples...
Zheng Shi...
Mu Qing and Huai Cao Shi turned around at the same time, and Heng Yu said without quelling his appetite: "The news from the law enforcement team is that Zheng Shi seems to have put several of his uncle's disciples under house arrest."
The outer disciples will be sent back, but it will be difficult for Bai Jiahe and the others.
Hengyu believed that he didn't need to talk to smart people, so he clasped his fists at the two of them, then changed his direction and bowed and clasped his fists at Jiang Shangxiu, who still didn't care at all, and then flew out of the yard.
